‘ this organization invited delegates from other

‘a number of» ultra-progressive planks in its

, ' . ﬂatform, not the least of which is government
”ownership of the railroads.

. The railroad question was the principal
«topic of dicussion at the Farm Bureau gath-
sang, but no deﬁnite conclusions were arriv‘

Ved at. After listening to Secretary Hoover of

“the , Department of Cemmerce and Chairman

1 Clark of the Interstate COmmerce Commiaion
‘_upon the railroad situation the Farm Bureau
' delegates decided to leave any recommenda-
tions that might be made to the legislative

‘ ‘ committee which expects to hold forth in
Washington for some time during the present
sasion of Congress. The Farm Bureau ﬁnds

Which Went sled- length for the return of the
railroads to the private owners under the

Cummins-Esch bill. At its earlier conven-
" thus 'its resolutions invariably contained an
antirgovernment ownership plank. Prior to
thelast increase in freight rates which, ﬁgur-
atively speaking, was the straw that broke the
camel ’5 back, the Farm Bureau has been con-
sistently,» actively, aggressively opposed to
. further control of the railroads by the govern-
“ merit. But since the last increase in freight
, rates which has virtually conﬁscated what lit-
the proﬁt there might have been left for the

immers after the bears got through with the

markets, the Farm Bureau' is confronted with

the choice of reversing its former position or
aring the brunt of the blame for the pres-

. ent situation. It dislikes to change its front,
but since many of thechaez‘t minds of the coun-
. try have reluctantly a itted that the only,
‘ I solution of the rail problem is uniﬁed opera-
\ tioii under government ownership, the Farm
. Bureau may be forced to fake the same posi—

for the most part unimportant. The chair-

position that being a government ofﬁcial his
. opinions belonged to the government rather
than himself. The farmer delegates kept up

at the true facts of the rail Situation?

charges were reasonable. In other cases he
found they were “Outrageously high.”
The effect of high freight rates on the

farmer was discussed at some length. Mr.
- - Clark admitted that lemons

brought“. from
Sicily could be sold cheaper in New York
than those produced in California. A simi-
lar situation exists with reference to many
other fruits and vegetables. The farmer’s
price has been cut to loss than half, but

, freight rates have nearly doubled.

LaFollette Speaks

Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin appeared
before the People’ s Reconstruction League
and gave an illuminating talk upon the rail-
road situation. He ﬁrst made clear the duty
which the railroads owe the people of the
grants and
other privileges which have been given them.
He said that the railroads were duty bound
to give good service, at reasonable rates, with-
out discrimination. He ridiculed the idea

v M. A. C. 'Impg'oves Course

DJUSTMENTS and changes in the ag-
ricultural courSe at the Michigan Col-
lege, made to meet new and altered conditions
inthe agriculture of the country, have just
been announced by Dean R. S. Shaw of M.
A. C. A wider range of selection in class
work for the student, and a generahstrength-
ening of the course are claimed for the altered
curriculum
None of the work previously given has been

1dropped from the course, additional subjects

being added as options for the upper class
elective work. As a result, a student will be

able in the future. to make a wider selection ‘

of studies, getting work along particular
lines in which he is most interested. Only
very minor changes are announced for the
ﬁrst two years of elementary study in the
course, the schedule of the past being consid-
ered adequate at the present time.

Among courses added to the list of agri-
cultural subjects is work adapted to practical
dairy farming, including dairy barn man-
agement, market milk production, and dairy
farm management. Another dairy course
will train students in judging of dairy cattle
and prepare a team to represent the college
andstate at the annual national dairy show.

Training in the selection of farm animals
will be given in a new live stock judging
course. This course also will aim to prepare
a student team to enter the judging contest
at the International Live Stock Show, at Chi-
cage.

Other new courses include farm manage-
recently established
cement; addition—
al farm mechanics subjects; a course in farm
crops, giving work in potatoes sugar boots.
and minor root crops; a course in muck soils;

Raps Reserve Board

John Shelton Williams former comptroller
of the currency, who made 8 spectacular

. charges against New York banks se eral menths .

ago, gave some startling info ation con-
cerning the operation of the Federal Reserve
Act. He said the Federal Reserve Board had
no ﬁxed rate of interest, that it loaned money ..
to certain New York bankers at 41} per cent
vhich was in turn loaned to harrassed man-
ufacturers, speculators, etc, at rates of inter—l
est running from 18 to 36 per cent. Asked
if this was an individual case, Mr. Williams
1eplied:“l do not refer to one case, but to
many.” Mr. Williams produced copies of
his letters to the Federal Reserve Board ask-
ing them to ﬁx a standard rate of interest to
apply to all transactions. In some of these
letters he questioned the policy of the Board
in withdrawing credits from country dis-
tricts, and claimed that the industrial cen-
ters were surfeited with federal reserve funds
at the expense of country bankers.

Among Michigan delegates in attendance
at the conferences were Grant Slocum, presin
dent of the National Gleaner Federation, and
Milo D. Campbell, president of the National
Milk Producers Federation. Mr. Slocum

Bureau Sells Trainload Wool

HIRTY carloads of wool from the Mich-

igan State Farm Bureau wool pool were
sold to a great eastern clothing mill during
the week of April 11, says an announcement
from the farm bureau wool department. The
shipment, nearly a trainload, represents half
a million pounds of wool and was sold at sev-
eral cents above what growers could have got.
ten through other channels, according to the
department.

Sold direct from the producer to the mill
and free from any proﬁts accruing to several
in-between agencies, the wool brought the
farmer the following prices: Three-eighths
blood, 27 cents, quarter— blood, 26 cents, and,
short clothing wools, 21 cents. _

I A He enjoys the.

{fresher and livestOCk , owner.

“Commissionerof Animal Industry under four
sucCessive governors, having been appointed
Tito 'that‘ postition by Gov. Osborn, a position.
in which he has distinguished himself by val—
?uable service to the livestock industry and the
people of the state in general. _ .

Mr. Halladay assumes charge of the pow-'
ers and duties hitherto vested in the Depart-
ment of Animal Industry, the State Food and
Drug Commissioner, the State Veterinary
UBbard, the Immigration Commission, the Com-
~"inissioner of Immigration, and the Market Di-
, rector. In addition he will be required to act

as chairman of the Board of Managers of State

Fairs, which is created by the new law, and
I which will take over and operate the Michigan
' State Fair. ‘

A Plain Farmer

”Tr. Halladay was born on a farm just out-
side the village of Clinton, Lenawee county,
ﬁfty-two years ago, coming from a long line
of successful farmers. He still owns the farm
which was his father’s and until a year and a
half ago made it his home. When his ofﬁcial
duties become so tiresome that he needs a
rest he slips down to the old farm which is
now managed by his eldest daughter and her
husband and becomes a real dirt farmer again
for a day or two.

‘Mr. Hallady has always taken a keen inter-
est in agricultural and live stock problems
and was peculiarly well'ﬁtted to undertake
the duties of the State Department of Animal
Industry. When he ﬁrst began to serve in
this position the work was little understood
by the farmers of the state, but under his con-
structive' and progressive management. the
work of his department has become very ex-
tensive and useful. ‘

_ His ﬁrst prominent work on the commission
came during the epidemic of foot and mouth
disease in Michigan in 1914. The eradica-
tion of this scourge, ordered by the federal
government in co-operation with the state
proved his worth, as to him fell the task of
planning and supervising the state’s part in
the ordeal. Much credit and appreciation
was, at that time, expressed regarding his ef-
ﬁcient management and kindly, yet ﬁrm, at-

» . titude toward all interests concerned. ,
After the successful handling of this task,‘

he suggested to his associate commisioners,
that hog cholera and tuberculosis could be
cleaned up just as easily, if the same determ-
inatiOn and methods were applied. Since
that time, his efforts have been directed along
this line, and hog cholera has been pretty gen-
erally eradicated, and now the problem of tu~
.berculosis among cattle is receiving intensive
work. through co-operation between the feder-
al government and the state. His attitude,
that people should wake up to this menace;
not only because of economic losses to «farm-
‘ers, but as a health measure, is one of his
earnest ideas at the present time.

His interest and desires for the agriculture
, .of Michigan, are very broad and include many

IFTY-THREE years ago this spring an

ambitious young man by the name of J.
T. Daniells, settled upon an “80”, in section
one, Essex township, Clinton- County. He
still lives there.
Daniells family lived happily for
years was displaced in 1885 by the frame
house shown in the accompanying picture, A
lover of nature Mr._ Daniells early planted a
row of maple trees thirty feet apart along, the

highway running past his farm. From these ,

trees the farm gets its name, “Maple Row

Farm.” ° , , '
Maple Row Farm is located four miles east

of Maple Rapids on the state reward gravelled

road between Maple Rapids and St.‘ Johns. »

Those who live within a radius of twenty-ﬁve
miles or even more of Maple Row Farm are
well acquainted with the farm and its owner,

I shall give only two of thensual‘methods'
as I consider these the best, the ﬁrst of whiCh
is the direct.
A standard hive withframes should bewﬁr'ea’

order that the combs from the box may “be.

place. ’ Turn the box up side down if there is
no bottom in it and with a Wrecking bar "or
similar tool pry off the two sides of the boX‘td _
which the smallest number of combs are an ‘
tached then with a knife remove ”the tombs
one at a time and brush the bees from them iii _.

may be tied into the empty frames using] ""19:
twine to secure them in place until'th M "
can fasten them up.. By doinggthis af'co
erable part of the brood is sa'vedj’and‘the" is
very little danger of the Colony deserting ifs
new home. .After as many of the combs at
tied into the frames as desired brush the bees
from the rest of the combs in front'of the'hiveb‘
and carry away all remains of the old hive
and burn it. Some honey-can be savedhfrdm
the old hive if there is no disease present. ' '
The "above method is only successful when:
there is no disease in the hive. . If disease is I
present then none of the old combssdare b
used, in the new hive. Otherwise the method
of transferring is the same.
,The slow method can be used only when:
there is no disease in the colony. If the'c‘ol‘
ony to. be transferred is in ’a bottomless be
then'turn' it up side down so that the open

whey to the farms. Under the
old conditions the market was
fairly satisfactory. It had its
drawbacks and prices were low; nevertheless
the market consumed all the milk delivered
to it and it was flexible.

Then came a set of neW' conditions. Quick,-
easy transportation opened up markets for
fluid milk at somewhat higher prices. Daily'
milk trains were run to supply New York, Al-
bany and other large cities. Receiving sta—
tions for fluid milk took the places of the 01d
creameries and cheese factories, and the milk
industry was placed on an entirely different
basis. At ﬁrst this seemed a proﬁtable
change, but as time went on the farmers dis-
covered unfavorable features. One of these
was that they had placed themselves volun- -
tarily in the power of the large distributors.

For several years the dairy farmers of On~
ondaga. County discussed the situation when-
ever a few of them gathered together rand
agreed that some means should be found to
take care of peak—time production and elimin-
ate the losses. lilinally, a few of them evolved
a plan of a co-operative milk plant that would
not only handle fluid milk in the city trade
but. all other products formerly made in their
little local creameries. They decided to com—_ ,

'RE than two hundred years ago an
a, Englishman coined the phrase, “‘Til-
lags is manure.” It is just as true today as

get.- apply its meaning in a different way.
" f ‘ ‘_ the phrase was coined, farmers believed
that a growing plant fed on particles of soil
much as a man would eat bread and that the
soil particles must be pulverized to a high de-
gree of- ﬁneness before the plant roots could'
take them up. Long ago we learned that be-
fore plant food can be taken up by the tender
roots it must be dissolved in water the solu-
ticn then being taken up by the roots in the
. same :way that a‘ lamp wick takes up salt when
" dipped into a salt water bath. We also know
that the ﬁner the soil is pulverized the greater
is the surface exposed to the soil water, re~

" suiting in more plant food being dissolved

and made available for the plant roots.

Most of our deep rooting crops require a
deep, ﬁne, compact seed bed, but some of our
cereals, such as wheat and oats, do betteiswhen
the seed bed is not so deep and is ﬁrmed down
until it is very compact.

.In addition to pulverizing the seed bed1
tillage implements are used' to stir and' mix:
the soil, to compact it, to destrop weeds, to
conserve moisture, and to facilitate the plant-
ing of seed. The importance

that it puddles, forming clods so hard that
surface tillage tools cannot pulverize them.
On the other hand, soil ploWed too dry breaks
up into hard lumps that require most of the
season to moulder dawn. '

Part of the air spaces referred to are due to

the presence of the clods, but most of them lie

at the bottom of the furrow and are formed

by'the turned furrows piling upon each other,
leaving an air spaCe extending along the edge
and length of the furrow slice. The’evi-llies
in the fact that these air spaces and most of

the clods are invisible after hail-revving. The“
clods should be broken up and the air spaces

ﬁrmed out, or many of the plant room will be
handicapped throughout the growing season.

'In addition to restricting the feeding area of
the 1'octs,clods and air spaces prevent the rise"

of sub—soil moisture—the one element abso-
lutely essential to rapid, maximum growth.
No. 1 in the illustration represents a plow-
ed stubble ﬁeld. Observe that the ground is
turned up in lumps and that air spaces at the
bottom prevent a close contact of the freshly-

through some at the clcds, depositing thé' seed-

» deeper than intended. Perhaps the’ next hill

is too shallow, or is dropped alongside a clad,
er into one of the air spaces. This kind of
seed bed accounts very largely for the dime
ence in yield betWeen adjoining farms, be-
tween different ﬁelds on the same farm, and
between diﬁerent parts of the same ﬁeld.-

Signed Contracts Pour Into Office of Beet Growers’ Association

Receipts on Closing Days of Campaign Indicates Growers Throughout State Sign Association 3 Contract

IGNED SUGAR beet growers’
dxawn up and presented by the Michigan

contracts,

Sugar Beet Growers’ Association to 12,000
beet growers of the state, were reported com-
ing in bunches into the state ofﬁce at Durand
during the closing days of the campaign,
vshich ended April 16. Campaign ﬁgures
Were not available at that time and will prob-
ably not be published until the ”close of a
state farm bureau beet growers” association
meeting at Lansing during the week of April

’ 18, says the state farm bureau. \

g All preliminary reports however,- indicate
“that beet growers throughout the state signed
the beet association’s contract in pref‘erenCe

mciation contract is said to represent a con-

crease to the grower over the fac-

ers’ board meeting, deﬁnite statement is ex-
pected to be made on what the beet growers’
association can accomplish for the growers.
“The growers’ association is not making
guarantees as yet,” says C. E. Ackerman,
general manager of the Michigan Sugar Beet
Growers’ Association, but if the growers sign
the contracts made by their association and
stand behind it, We will have control of our
crop and be able to say something about the
piice of it.”

The giowers’ contract is based on the con-
tract made by Utah and Idaho sugar beet
growers With their factories. That contract
is said to have netted the growers an addit-
ional $2,,000000 return on a crop far less in
tonnage and sugar content than the ayerage
Michigan crop.. It provides for $6. 45 a ton

The state farm bureau, recogniz-

1.1a: the situation for some time past

has been assisting its members to
solve the problem. The farm bu.
roan method included the taking
over for Michigan of the state’s al-
lotment of a western made treble
suporphosphate—45 1-2 per cent
available phosphoric acid as against
the 16 per cent available phosphoric
acid carried by ordinary phosphate—
and disposing of it through its pur-
chasing departmen-t at prices the
farmers are said to consider right.
Freight rates on carlots are prepaid
and half the freight rates on less
than 'carlots is prepaid, through an
arrangement with the manufacturer
of the phosphate, says the farm
bureau.

The farm bureaii further points
out that with the treble superphos-
phate about three times as strong as
the ordinary 16 per cent phosphate,
the farmer saves two thirds of the
ordinary haulage and labor charges.

the market value of all agricultural
products; there is, however. a. well-
deﬁned opinion1 prevailing among
the men best qualiﬁed to judge of
future morket prospects, that the
present scale of values is in no
sense permanent. The general trend
of markets in other years has made
it plain that selling prices do not re-
min for any great length of time
very far below the cost of produc-
tion.

'llle market for foreign exchange
is showing a tendinicy to harden and
if it were not for the British labor
troubles and the reparations "dispute
with Germany, we would be carrying
forward an export trade with Euro—
pean countries that would be on a
par with pro-war conditions.

Detroltl

British labor troubles demoraliz-
ed the wheat market throughout
the entire caun‘try last week. The
Detroit market lost a. total of 15
cents. In many sections country
bankers assisted the downward
trend of the market by showing an
anxiety to have farm loans liquidat-
ed which forced farmers to rush
their grain upon the falling market
to meet their obligations. Domestic
buying was poor but export buyers
snapped up all offerings rapidly al-
lowing uo surplus of volume to ac-
cumulate at any of the large‘mar-
keting centers. The flour and feed
business was dull all the week.
Passage of the tariff bill by Congress
last Friday made for a bullish mar-
ket on Saturday and wheat made
small advances. Then came news
from the west of heavy snow and
cold weather. This was the ﬁrst
real crop scare the market has had
this spring and prices jumped up-

cents higher on _ Saturday night?

Unless something unusual hap-
pens in the cat or corn market they
are hard grains to write about be-
cause, an the average, these grains
follow the trend of wheat. and what
is said regarding the latter grain
applies to all three. Owing to the
comparatively low prices oats ﬁdid
as other
grains last week and selling was not
pressed. Chicago receipts totalled
319 cars, against 191 a year ago, and
shipping sales amounted to about
the same as corn.

Prices on some markets sdvaneed

ing smaller and the market is in-
clined to ﬁrm up. . '

WOOL‘ -- '

Fair business was done in the
wool market last week, it is report-v
ed, but as a-who’le activity is ruth-
er less pronounced. Prices ore in- _
clined to hold steady on n erratic 1.

market. Woolen mills are inereas- ..

lug their activities but the market
is heavily stocked and compdftion‘
among, dealers holds prices down.
The. passage at the tariff bill may
help prices some but not much, it' is
thought, as clipping has begun all
over the west and the new supply
with the stocks of list year’s clip
unmarketed will counteract the
strength given by the tariff bill. Re-“

ports come" from the west that deal- . -
era; are willing to advance only 6‘ to

10 cents for fair to good clips and
rarely more than 12 cents for the
choicest. '

CUTTING THE COST OF LUMBER

Apparently lumber is one of the
few items which has kept pace with
the downward trend of farm' crop
prices. Those who know tell us. that
the buying power of a bushel of
grain or a pound of_liv‘e stock, is
today greater when used to purchase
lumber, than any one other farm
necessity.

Now comes the McClure Company
of Saginaw, well and favorably
known as the manufacturers on a
very large scale of silos and indus-
trial hduses with an announcement
which appears for the ﬁrst time on
the back cover of this issue of the
BUSINESS ann .which means , a
still further out in the cost of build-
ing in Michigan this season.

Their plan, we understand, in-
cludes not only the sale of the lum-
ber all ready cut up and with plans
furnished for easy assembly, but
also furnishing the full lumber re-
quirements for any style of new
house, barn or other building or any
alterations to an old building.

They have a complete architect-
ural service which they have offered
to place at the disposal of any read—
er of the BUSINESS FARMEB, .to help
plan_any new building or alteration
which you have in mind and by ap-
plying the factory method of cutting
up the lumber to save every scrap
of waste, they .not only save the
builder time in erection but the buy-
er many‘dollars in unnecessary ma—
terial

We hope that every reader of the

BUSINESS Penman who has in mind
even the possible use of a small
or large amount of lumber for eith-
er building or alteration will use
the coupon from. the back cover to
bring without any obligation,
McClure folks plan. We are proud
to be able to introduce and endorse
this money saving plan to our thous-
ands of readers within easy shipping
distance from their main plant at
Saginaw.

AN EXPLANATION

N THE February 19th issue of the
BUSINESS Fauna there was an
item relating to the organization
of co—operative store at Ithaca by
Mr. T. W. Michael Mr. Michael al-
leges that certain statements con-
tained therein were false and mis-
leading and has asked us to make
the following statement which, he
says, is a true account of his activ-

ities along that line: -

In January 1920, Mr Michael, former-
ly a deputy of the Michigan State
entered the employ of the Nat-
lanai Consumers Co— —operative Associa-

8.011 of 342 River Street. Chicago Ill,

age the store until that time; Mr Mich-
ael was called to Chicago before the
central organization and asked why he
had fired the manager from Chicago
Mr. Michael advised the central organi-
zation to allow the local store their own
manager, which the Central Organiza-
tion did, and Mr. Michael was transfer-
red from the salesman’ 3 pay roll to the
pay roll of manager, which place he re-
tained until relieved by Mr Clark.

tion was not paying the bills of the

stores on a. plan whereby each store
handles its own money, runs its own
business, and when ﬁfteen stores are
formed each store will take so much
money from its capital stock and estab-
lish a wholesale house owned 1) these
ﬁfteen stores. Each member join ng one
of these independent stores pays a. mem-
bership fee of $10. This money is used
for organizing to bring across the whole-
sale. A financial statement is furnish-
ed every month to each store showing
how the money is being spent, and for
what purpose. -

bureau.
in the office of information of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
going there in 1915 and retiring in
1920 as Director of Information for
the department. Previously he had
been promoted from chief editor. of
the department to chief of the D1-

The government has inaugurated a

We have been selling our milk to the

ever since April, 1920, and we have re-
ceivod checks for milk promptly 11
September, 1920. Since then they have
been very irregular until now they. are
six weeks behind and owe us for all of
November and the ﬁrst half month of
December, 1920. Now I would like to-
know if this company is reliable as we
are still selling our zilk to them. ——A
Subscriber. Carleton, i.chigan

This letter was one of several upon
the same subject which were roceiv--
ad from subscribers during . the
month of January and we have only
recently been able to secure any

. worth-while information. We. wrote

the Boulevard Dairy Company for

, i111 explanation and got the follow-
. 118' '

“We do not know of any of 'our pro-
ducers who are not familiar with exist-
ing conditions. We have endeavored to
can several meetings to explain to them
thoroughlyhand I think they all' under-
stand that wo have taken their product
and put it in storage until such time as
we can move it. which means delayed
checks. We hays also told them that if
there is any who do not desire to sell
milk to us on this basis th
or ﬁnd another market wl ut hurt
our feelings. Our checks are going 0
regularly to producers, and it is prob.
able, no doubt, the people who
written you have received some payh
ments since they wrote. However, if
you win give us their names we will be
very glad to take the matter up with
them and explain the situationp thon-
oughly so that We willbo sure we have
not overlooked anybody "

The attention of M1211: C. Reed,
secretary- of the Michigan Milk Pro-
ducers' Ass' 11,, was also called to the
matter. He made an investigation
and reported as follows under date

of April 4th:

“We have a committee from our Board

‘FIGHT THE CAN'KEB WORM
In 1920 many of the apple 01-4;
chards in southern Michigan. had
the appearance of being burned with
ﬁre during the months of May and
June. This in most cases was the
work of the canker worm, although
in some orchards the injury was
done by the Tussock moth and leaf—
-rollers'.v Whatever the insect may
have been, the treatme‘nt will be the
same. ~
The canker worm is a greenish
black insect about one inch in '
length which sets away the soft,
green portions of the denies;
leaf-stalks and ribs only remaining.
It has no legs under the middle of
its body and loops its way along; .
which gives it also- the names of the
inch worm and measuring 'worm."
The eggs hatch shortly after the
leaves develop,
fruit has set the worms complete the
stripping of the trees. While most
common on the apple, they also feed "
on the elm and other shade trees.
They are: likely to reappear this
season in all orchards which were

. attacked last year, as well as in the

neighboring Orchards, and steps
should at once be taken to ﬁght
them even before they appear. The
~troatment is to spray the trees, us-
ing two pounds of. dry arsenato of .1
lead. or 1 1-2 pounds of arsenato of;

lime, in 50 gallons of water, adding
two or three pounds of hydrated
lime The trees should be very

thoroughly sprayed just before the
blossoms open; and again as soon
as the petals have fallen from
ﬂowers.
thoroughly applied it may be neces-

' sary to make a third application at '7

should be done while the trees are:

0/! Time for Looking Forward

After long and difﬁcult wanderings we are coming to steadier days. Let

us turn our backs on doubt and dissension and observe with fair minds the

”great problems that face Industry as well as Agriculture. We cannot lag by

the wayside and go forward at the same time.

For yourself, be the true American optimist. Defend your faith in the

success of the year and 1n the future of America—and help your ﬁelds to

. yield to the limit of their powers. From that foundation, only, can Agriculture

and Industry be brought to that peak of health which kindles good fortune

in town and country alike.

Be one who looks ahead. Plan your labors wisely; govern well your land,

' your crops, {your machines, your help; exercise a broad-gauge economy so that

.de'served proﬁt may result. Then the summer of 1921 will see the sun shining
3.011 great seas of grain and the granaries of autumn will be overﬂowing.

The President’s Message .
A IF weary of the ceaseless criticism di-
rected at President Wilson before, dur-
ing and since the ~war, the independent press
of the country unite in approVal of the Hard-
ing policies as outlined in his message to
Cougress. This attitude may be taken as
‘evinciug a desire to be fair with the new
President and give him a chance rather than
a settled conviction that his 'views are One
.hundred per cent 'correct. The ’big business
interests, harrassed as they, have been by war-
time regulations and burdensome taxes, hail
the Harding message as their emancipation
proclamation. Says the Wall Street Journal,
‘Harding message pleases Wall Street ”
In certain respects the Harding message is
positive and startlingly frank. *In others it
is not so clear. Mr. Harding leaves us in ‘no
doubt as to what he thinks of the League of
Nations. He is still laboring under the im-
pressiou that the tremendous vote given the
Republican party last fall was a vote against
the League, and insists that the “mandate of
the people be respected.” Some day he will
ﬁnd out that he is mistaken. He still speaks
of a nebulous “association of nations,” but
keeps is entirely in the dark as to the partic-
‘ulars in which it will differ from the present
League, “But that. is for the future,” he
says. He is right. A proposal to the other
nations at this time to scrap the Deague of
‘Nations and build a new one would ‘be met
, with scorn and ridicule.- Of necessuy, in—
deed, the Harding “association of nations.”
; _must await the kindly developments of time.
The country at large will heartily endorse Mr.
Harding’s suggestion of a separate peace
' [with Germany. Since the administration
cannot sign the Versailles treaty linked as it
' is with League covenant, it is well to end the
farce of “technical war” with Germany so
that we may resume diplomatic and trade re-
latirns with her. .
Mr. Harding is strongly in .favor of immed-
iate tariff legislation to protect American in-
dustry'and agriculture from foreign compe-
tition. A well known economist scoﬁs at the
idea of a prosperous United States needing
;“protection” from the impoverished nations
of Europe, and exclaims, “It is not usually
-, necessary to protect the strong from the
Weak. ” Nevertheless, certain domestic agri-
3“ .< ”cultural and manufacmred articles are
s:'~- threatened by imports and the nation at large
’- "l’l-yappr0ve of a moderate increase in, exiSt-
. , tariff rates.
‘We; must abolish the acess proﬁts tax,’
, Mr Harding, and Big Business rubs its
1n glee.

No one, will object to remote,
‘ ’ 7 enough

Unqualiﬁed endorsementis'

Harding’ 3 economy pledge. 9 “we promised

less government in business and more busts
‘ness 1n government, and we must now make,

good on our pledges and practice rigid econ

'omy in every departinent of government. ”

That’s ﬁne, but it would have sounded better

had Mr. Harding pledged his administration.

to a reduction in the naval program. which

bids fair to cost the taxpayers close to a half.

billion dollars during the present calendar
year. The subject of disarmament Mr.
Harding discussed in a rather desultory way.

He is in sympathy with the proposal to re-7

duce armaments but he wants some other nat-
ion to take the lead.

Perhaps these slight criticisms are not jus-
tiﬁed. Perhaps Mr. Harding has, not yet

found his feet and is still feeling ‘his .way. '

Perhaps it is well for him to proceed slow1y
with suggestions that may appear to be of an
ultra-progressive nature. That, wasn’t the

Roosevelt way nor the Wilson way, but per'

haps the Harding way may be the wise way

in the face of the diﬂ‘iculties which now con-'

fmnt the nation and the world. Time alone
will tell.

The State Commissioner of Agriculture

“ HEN GOV.’ Groesbeck appointed 'Her-
, man“Ha.lladay to head the new depart-
ment of agriculture he made a wise choice.
Although Mr. Halladay has been in the ser-
vice of the state for nearly a’ dozen years, he
has managed and lived upon his farm in St.
Joseph County nearly all that period, and is
still just a plain farmer So many men who
leave the farm and are appointed to political
office soon lose their intrest in other farmers,
but not so with .Mr'. Halladay. He still has
the same sympathetic point of view and the
same appreciation of the problems of agricul—
ture as he had when he was ﬁrst appointed to
ofﬁce. Mr. Halladay is not likely to inaug-
urate any brilliant reforms in the departments
over which he now has charge. but “he will,

you may rest assured, give every ounce of his.

energy and every iota of his ability to making
his department an instrument of real service

Farm Bureau Salaries

OME COMPLAINT has been heard from

.farmers over thersize of the salaries which
it is reported the Bureau is paying to some
of its executive heads. In the ﬁrst place, the
Bureau is not spending as much money for
salaries as has been reported in the press. In
the second place, even if it was, it can prob-
ably show that it is getting value received.

It wouldn’t b'e'surprising if the Farm Bureau.

has squandered some money during the ﬁrst
year of organization. “Easy come, easy go,

is an old and true saying. And nothing in
the world ever came easier that the money
from memberships in the State Bureau. The
Bureau has had some pretty high-Salaried
men. Some of them were good, and some no
good. The good ones it needed and the poor.
ones it has got rid of. Those who have been
retained are probably worth their salary and
could earn as much elsewhere. Farmers must-

learn that men With executive ability who can ‘

manage a new business and make it shew a
proﬁt will not sell their services for a Song.
They don’t have to. Other people are willing
to pay them good salaries and the farmers will

. have to if they want to keep them. The rea-

Thank God for the Women! .- - .

TTE WIRES were still ringing with the-
President’ 3 message to 0.011ng blasting
the people’s hope for a program of disarmae
merit and werld peace, when a gray—haired.
yoma‘n arose before the National League of»:

, \Vomen Voters at Cleveland and in an impea-

sioned plea implored the women of the United
States to bring an end to war. The woman

was Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt one of the
earliest advocates of woman suffrage. She
had been scheduled to give a speech on politi-
cal economy, but moved to the depths by a

, terrible word picture which Irvin S. Cobb had

drawn of the horrors of war, she discarded her
set speech and threw her heart and soul int0;;
As she spoke
many women wept and Others became hysterr
icalu The next day the convention unan-.
imously adopted resolutions addressed to Con-
gress and the President asking that immed-
iate steps be taken to co-operate with other
nations in world wide disarmament.

The junkers and militarists will put all this

. down as the “silly sentiment of women,” just

as the liquor interests dubbed the early agita-
tion for prohibition, ‘_‘the hysteria of a few. ,
preachers and feiﬁalos’ ” But "the appeal of; ‘

these women has already found a lodging
place far beyond the four walls of the conven-
tion hall in the hearts of mill'- 011s of inch and
women Who hate war and long for the day
when it shall be no more. Thank God for the

' PLUMB DISGUSTED ,

N YOUR Lansing news, by Baker,

youask, under heading "Auto

Licenses,” “What do you think
about it?” Here’s what I think, and
Idon’t have to think much, either.
If all our bright. smart’farmers have
gone to the city (and mind you, I
don’t admit they have) can you
blame them? ‘

Next, I believe that better than
90 per cent of our farmers are feel-
ing as though there waSn’t. isn't and
never will ‘be any use of mahng any
fuss to get something for their ben—
eﬁt. Can you blame them?

I don't mean to insinuate that Mr.
Baker nor Rep. Ferris are not try—
ing their best to hold up our end
at Lansing. I honestly believe THEY
are doing their very best, but what’s
the use? Does it mean anything?

Can you remember as far back as
Mr. Newberry’s case? Most of 11s
farmers will never forget it. Such

" things exist in American politics to—

day, and as long as they do, I for
one, don’t care whether I take any
part in politics or not.

And last answer this please. Why
are better than 50 per cent of our
farmers (the smartest, too) dis-
gusted with the Farm Bureau?—

GOLD IN ‘ALOONA COUNTY? _
LCONA COUNTY may be the
richest county in the state. Some
time ago a well-known farmer

by the name of Fleming‘was digging
a well and discovered some kind of
mineral in the earth that he took
from the well. He sent a sample of
the mineral away and had it analyz—
ed and was found to be a percent-
age of gold. He then made a more
thorough investigation with the help
of a mining expert and found that
the mineral tested 42 per cent or

‘ $42 of gold dust to the ton of earth.

This was proof that Mr. Fleming bad
He at once
established an oﬂice in the city of
Harrisville‘ and advertised and sold
claims that the gold mine would be
operated and controlled by Alcona
county stockholders. However, Mr.
Fleming did not start operation on
thevmine. It was rumored that he
did not sell stock enough to start op—
erations. This happened some two
years ago and every thing was left

as it was until the present when 2111— '

other farmer living some six miles
from Mr. Fleming's mine was dig-

ground and had it analyzed and
found to be gold mineral.

Two outside mining men from the
state of Delaware at once bought the
land from Mr. Fettis and has also
purchased the claim from Mr. Flem-
ing and will at once commence op-
eration. These two mining men are
experts at the mining business and

With the millions of our men out ‘
of work matters kept growing grad-
ually worse until it looked as tho
things would happen but our great
men said “Listen," The nation did
and now it is gradually coming
back. But remember, not to such

Perhaps. it has come to stay and

3‘ {funny event we cannot'afford to

J J...remain_‘in ignorance of any subject

."so'lmuch discussed and evidently so

' imp‘bl‘tant. ’

, The vitamines, so called for lack
, of a; better term, and not because it
is scientifically descriptive, are an
element found in certain foods and
absolutely necessary to our growth
and health, so small that they defy
and-”puzzle the workers in labora-
tories but so. important that a lack
ofgthem causes such diseases as
scurvy, rickets, pellagra and ner—
vous disorders. This however need
give us no worry as the vitamines
are easily procurable and cheap, be-
ing found in fresh fruits and green
vegetables, the thin skin of the po-
tato and most largely” in‘milk, there—
fore in cottage cheese, cream, but-
ter and hard cheese, provided that
it has been made of whole milk. The
fats in the yolks of eggs, in liver;
kidneys and sweet breads also pos-
sess them. All green leaves from
spinach to lettuce. The thin leaves
possessing more than the thick
ones, such as cabbage and endive.

They are found in small quanti-
ties in all whole. grains but milling
eliminates them and they are ab-
sent in white flour, white rice, ﬁne
hominy and in sugar, molasses, olive
oil and tapioca. These are dead
foods and should be combined with
live foods. ‘ .

Eat milk or cream with breakfast
cereals, butter with white bread and
"put milk and eggs in rice and tapi—
oca pudding.

From this we may gather that
our own natural instincts and tastes
have in some. measure at least lead
us aright in the selection and ar—
rangement of foods. And although
the nature» of vitamines is unknown

. we know where to find them. We
know that they are necessary to
life growth and health and that their
absence causes shortening of life.

CLEAN‘MILK

should be interesting. More explic-

I __ Deﬁnition of Clean Milk
“‘While a rigid application of the
» deﬁnition of the word ‘clean’ would
. exclude milk which contains foreign
matter or any bacteria whatever, for
ordinary purposes we may under-
stand that clean milk is milk of good
ﬂavor from healthy cows, that is
free from dirt and, contains only a
small number of bacteria, 'none of
which are harmful. .
ImpOrtance of Clean Milk to the
Consumer
"The consumer is interested in
clean milk primarily because no one
cares to use a food which is not pro-
duced and handled under sanitary
. He has a more direct
‘ interest, however, because of the
nger of contracting disease which
y be communicated by the use of
ected milk. Serious epidemics of

Importance of Clean Milk to the
Producer ,

"Clean milk beneﬁts not only the
consumer but the milk producer as
well. Most producers of market milk
have experienced the chagrin of
having a shipment of milk refused
or returned because it reached the
market sour, tainted or otherwise in
poor condition. Although the milk
may be used for feeding pigs, it us-
ually is a complete loss to the pro-
ducer, since the cost of transporta-
tion back to the farm usually ex-
ceeds the value of the milk. Fre-
quently, also, the producer depends
on a certain market as an outlet for
his milk and has no means of util—
izing small quantities at uncertain
intervals, even if he had it at the
farm. Another important consider-
ation is the unpleasant effect which
the receipt of sour, tainted or other-
wise unsalable milk has upon the
purchaser. Delivering milk of that
-kind usually results in the loss of
the conﬁdence of the dealer,,or, if
it is'delivered directly to the con—
sumer, the loss of customers. Clean
milk means fewer complaints, 3. bet-
ter class of patrons, and a steady
marketfor the product.

“To safeguard the purity of the

milk is., in several 'ways, a promos

Telling Farmers’ Wives
AA farmer’s wife ~in Trumbull:

COunty, Ohio, wrote to ask,
"Why don’t you ~tell us farmers"

‘wives as much about Jell-O as you

do the city women,rand why not give
us the same chance to get Jell-O
when we want it 2’”

That was some time ago, and since
then Jell-O has been placed on sale
in practically every general store in
America, including the one at the
Corners and the Cross Roads, where
it can be obtained as easily as at the
groceries in the bigtowns. ‘

The Jell-O Book is free to every
woman everywhere. It is full of re-
cipes for the desserts and salads that
are most popular just now, not only
because they are cheaper than almost
anything else that is worth serving,
but are really better than any made
at much greater expense. And most
of them can be made in a minute.

The J ell-O Book will be sent to you
if you will write and ask for it.

Jell-O is put up in six pure fruit
ﬂavors: Strawberry, Raspberry,
Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Chocolate,
and is sold by all grocers and gen-
eral stores, 2 packages for 254cents.

m CHILD
’ have something sad I
'- to tell you about
this week. It is regarding
3one of. my little' nephews
whom I wrote about in our
December 25th issue of M.
’ 3.1K A .1103? nine years old
living at Evart, Michigan,
who wrote me that he had
no brothers or. sisters and
wished to know if I'knew of
any litty boy who would
like 'to come and live with
him; ~Do~ you remember?
His name was Levi P. Gug-
el. _
' In my letter to you I ask-
ed, that some ofyou write
him'a’nd I often wondered if
any of you did when one
day I received a letter from
Irene Kohle of Adrian in
which she told me she had
read in the paper of the death of
Levi Gugel. Then a few days late
Levi’s mother wrote me all about it.
“You little know how much good
'your page does,” she wrote. “Our
little Levi is no more. You printed
his first letter to you in the issue of
the M. B. F. that came out on Christ-
mas d‘ay. He received three letters
that he read and enjoyed. There
were four more which came after he
had departed from this earth and
we were very glad to read them.”

Little did the writers of those
letters know they were giving pleas—
ure to a boy who would never live

LEV D

GUOEL

to answer their letters. Un-
knowingly they did. a wond-
erful thing and the thOug‘hts
of how they made the last
days of little Levi’s life
pleasanter and” brighter
should remain With them all
their lives. Two of ;my
nieces, Meriem "Wiley and
Irene Kohle, as soon as
they learned of his death
wrote letters of consolation
to his mother. It is'just
such girls as these two that
when grown to womanhood,
keep the word ”mother” so
sacred. They have hearts
of gold. ‘

Mrs. Gugel enclosed Le-
vi’s last letter to me, which
was written on Christmas
Day, and, completing her let-
ter I then read his. In it
he told me how glad he was
to see his letter in print and that he
had received a letter that day from
a little boy. He was~very anxious
to answer the letter as soon as he
was well enough. Then came a list
of the presents he had received on
Christmas and how they drew names
at school and he had received a cup
and saucer. “I have been sick 3
long time," he wrote. “If you could
see me you would think I was all
bones and no meat left on .me.’
There the letter ended, not even his
name signed. Apparently he became
tired atthat point and layed it to
one side to ﬁnish when he was rest-

‘ thorn—Ellen

ed. For ,trom his mind was the tiet‘

that. he would never ﬁnish his little
letter to Uncle Ned,
published with the other children’s
letters in “The Children’s Hour."
Such. is life.

the breath may depart from our bod-
ice and our souls soar heavenward.
We should-do a kind deed whenever
it is possible for us to do so, so that
if we should suddenly he called to
appear before God we could do so
believing we had lived our life upon
this earth to the best advantage.
Believing you all would like to
see 'a picture of little Levi, I asked
his mother to send me one to pub-
lish on our page. ' She did and ‘I am
printing it this week.

Speculation thrives on the lack of

were known to the public there
would be very little room for spec-
elation.

Crops are grown ln the open and
cannot "be bid. Speculators have
thelr ownsources of information;

‘they obtain it through salesmen.

through buyers. through country

merchants and local bakers, thru .

private crap reporting agencies and
through the employment of eo—call-
ed crop experts. Nothing would
please them so much as to have the
government crop report: suppress-

ed. so that the public mldbs in

doubt and the speculum: would be
free to lesue such mm as
would best serve their own selﬁsh
interests. The greatest protection
which farmers and the consuming
public can have against holes and
misleading reports and the opera-

ors is tall. complete, dependable.

At ﬁrst the attendance was ; very

of about 250.

require so much work. At ﬁrst not

right on and before we were through
we bid packed houses everywhere.
We put on a real campaign of ed-

, A Big Job Well Done

That is the way with farmers gen—
orally. When it comes to undertak-
ing a different line of business from
the one they are in they are, very
sensibly, skeptical.

The association as ﬁnally devel-
oped was incorporated; in February,
1919. The site of the plant was
purchased in August and ground

~ was broken for the inundation in

November. Work progressed all
through‘the winter of 1919-20, and
the plant was opened for business
in October of last year; eleven
months after work was begun. Gon-
sidering the hard, cold winter of
1919- 20, the shortage of materials,
congestion of transportation, the
difﬁculties of ﬁnancing and difﬁcul-
ties with labor, they made a record
for rapid construction.

The plant is located in the heart

to the

of Burnet Avenue and Elm Street,
with an electric line on one side and
a steam railroad- on the other. The
plant is designed to admit a street
car to the main unloading platform
inside the building, and a franchise
has been obtained to lay tracks tor
the switch. When this switch is
completed a madden) or milk will
be delivered directly by trolley, thus
saving considerable expense in
handling. This feature is only one of
many "interesting things about the
plant. ' ’ '

When the plant opened in Octob-
er the association had approximately
550 members who were pledged un-
der their contract to deliver all their
milk to the lac-operative milk plant.

Guarantee Como ration, was damag aned to
the extent of 3360 in a. collision with an-
other machine.) I could have taken
$550 for thecar a. few days before the
accident and as it is now the car is a
dead loss _to me. The insurance com—
pany ordered it repaired and when the
bill was presented refused to settle. The
repairman held the car for the repairs
and the bill was so large I did not feel
able to pay it. You will notice that I
have waited on this insurance company
over a. year, Will you do what you can
for me in getting my claim paid or else
in exposing the methods of this com-
pany?—-Geo. W. Surbrook. Huron Coun—
ty, Michigan.

The letter received by Mr. Sur-
brook from the company was as fol-
lows:

“We feel that there was no liability
upon us in this case We do not feel
disposed to settle your claim, unless you
should wish to accept. $109_ We would
be willing to pay you that amount in
order to get rid of the cam. If I do not
hear from you by Dem/18th 1930 Iwﬂl
take it for granted that you do notI wish
to accept this offer and I will withdraw
it."

Note what a liberal company this
is. It denies all responsibility for
the claim and then offers to settle
for $100. NThe Collection Box ad—
vises you to sue this company for
the full amount of your claim plus
interest, The above letter should
convict them in any court. Other
readers to save themselves trouble
and expense will. of course. think
twice before insuring with the Ocean

A Home-made Blaster’ 3 Box
Saves Time and Trouble

:IN Using'ex‘plosiyee on the farm only a few simple

tools are required, but it is a great convenience to
carry all equipment in a “.blaster's box” where nothing
'wlll be mislaid or lost.

“Such a box can be easily made from a soap or starch

bo'x. Nail a one inch strap on each side for a handle.
Screw a strip of .wood on one end, slotted to hold cap
crimperand knife. In the box can be carried fuse, cord
to tie fuse “to cartridge, and dynamite. Don’t carry
caps and dynamite together in the blaster-’5 box.

The most important tool in the blaster's box is the 'cap

'crimper—caps should always be crimped on the fuse
with the crimper and nothing else. A sharp knife is
neccssary for slitting cartridges and cutting fuse.

‘Most farmers use

RED. CROSS DYNAMITE

because it can always be depended upon to give quick and effec-
tive results at minimum cost. You can get it—fuse, caps and
crimpers, too—from your dealer.

When you send in your renewal it
will pay you to do two things,

l—Enclose the address label
torn from the front cover of
any- recent issue of M. B. F.

2—Scnd money in check, money-
order or registered letter.

The ﬁrst avoids our entering your
name as a new subscription and thus
sending you two papers every week
and bothering you to pay up the old
subscription.

The second avoids the possibility
of your money going astray in the
mails or being lost We often have

two to three weeks to acknowledge
your remittance and correct your

Get the McClure Plan Before You Build

It Will Save You Money

Our plan provides the resources and manufacturing facilities Of a

big central lumberfyard that handles Smillionjs of feet of lumber,

many carloads of millwork and other building materials every year.

Along with this big lumber yard we also offer you
an architectural and engineering service that helps
you to choose what to build and how to build a
house that is correctly designed-that looks good
and utilizes materials most economically.

We are located in Saginaw, the distribution center
of Michigan, an easy place to get to and a loca-
tion where we can serve you quickly and economi-
cally. This is a big advantage for Michigan folks.

You Have Wanted a Plan Like This

You waited a long time for just this kind of a proposi-
tion. You’ve wanted to build your home with all the
guess-work left out—to know just what you were
going to get, to have a home architecturally correct
—well proportioned, the kind of a place you’ll be
proud to look at and live in.

All that we want is an opportunity of showing you ~

before you build. Talk to us before you decide. Get
our ideas and talk them over with your carpenter
or contractor. Get their advice. We’ll ﬁgure on your
complete house ready cut or bill of material uncut.

.S’emvilce Based on Experience

As you know, for a good many years, we have been
making Saginaw Silos. In addition to our silo busi-
ness, we have been building houses in quantities for
industries. We have sold them to textile manu-
facturers, steel corporations and others who wanted
twenty-ﬁve, ﬁfty or a hundred homes for their ems
ployees. In other words we have been developing
scientiﬁc methods of construction and designing
and our methods have been thoroughly tested.

N ow we are ready to give you the beneﬁt of our experience.
We have worked out a method of giving to individual
house buyers, the beneﬁts of low costs and scientiﬁc
designing and construction. ’

Your Chance to Save

Our large industrial house business and silo manufacturing
enables us to buy in big quantities -— all the materials
that go into a house come to
us at rock bottom prices. You
pay but one proﬁt—a small one
based on tremendous volume.
Everything is concentrated in
our big plant here in Saginaw
and shipped to you just as
you want it.
