‘ THAT IMMOBTAIE. NINETEEN:

‘ACK IN the balmy days of the
notorious Tip Atwood when the

. and the people were with “Ping"—
'then as now seventeen votes con—
trolled the action of the legislature
by controlling the action of the sen—
ate Then the astute Mr. Atwood
assisted by two or three competent
confeder‘ates proceeded to organize
a group that could be relied on to
follow the flag no matter where it
was going. By assisting this senat-
or and opposing that one on his bills
to permit the catching of suckers,
the killing of doors and anything
.else that did not interfere with his
pets he gradually demonstrated to
a majority that if they wanted “to
get anywhere” they must run along
with him, and what with those who

to make the game work successfully

ever made before, the ﬁnal sum total appropri-
ated has been .kept well down below that of

“the past, two—year period. Out of the $66,-

000,000 which would have had to have bee:
raised by direct taxation had the entire
amount asked been allowed, only slightly 01711
$22, 000,000 was granted. Other appropria-
tions will be made payable out of the new
corporation tax which is expected to raise
$6,000,000, or out of the various fees collected

' by the several state departments.

What is regarded by agricultural thinkers
as one of the most essential steps for the

placing of Michigan agriculture on a sound

business basis was effected by the passage of
the agricultural statistics law which provides

crop acreage and live Stock ﬁgures This law
was drafted jointly by the farm bureau and
the federal bureau of crop estimates and was

legislative committee.

Relief to those sections of the state that
have been menaced by ravages of grasshop-
pers has been secured by passage of a bill to
reimburse counties and townships to the ex-
tent of one-half of the amount spent by them
in grasshopper control.

The health of Michigan’ 8 live stock has
been further pretected by placing additional
restrictions around the importation of sheep
into the state and by prohibiting the offering
:of any pure-bred cattle at any public sale or

Ior exhibition at any fair until such cattle

have satisfactorily passed the tuberculin test.

The production of pure- -bred animals in the
state has been fostered by the enactment of a
law to prohibit the issuance of a license to any
stallion that is not sound and pure-bred and-
by measures to prevent fraud and misrepre-
sentation in the registration of animals as
pure-bred or in the conduct of ofﬁcial and
semi-ofﬁcial tests of butter-fat production of

_ COWS.

Fruit growers, as well as livestock men,
have received some beneﬁcial legislatiOn from
the recent gathering of the law-makers. Im-
portation of dangerous insects and contag—
ious diseases affecting trees, shrubs, fruit, etc,
’was further guarded against by an amend-
ment to the present law on this subject.
Railroads were made liable for frost injury
to perishable products at any season of the
year if it could be proved that such injury
was wholly or partially due to their negli-
gence. Standards for apples sold in closed
packages were revised and more carefully de—
ﬁned, at the suggestion of the grow CIS. The
law relative to the planting of fruit and nut-
bcaring trees along public‘highways was re-
drafted and made more workable.

Prevention of excessive and unjust charges
by railroads for the rental of warehouses and
other. property adjacent to their took. was
accomplished by giving'tho Public Utilities
Commission power to hear and decide all
claims arising out of dissatisfaction as to any
such lease—right. This measure was favored
by the stoic farm bureau trafﬁc. department in
the interest of its locals and of other farmers’
cooperative shipping and marketing associa-
tions that haie been sudering ‘from unjust
charges in the past.

Rural educational conditions have come in
f01 considerable constructixc legislative at—
tention. Consolidation of three or more rural
school districts into a single district has been
facilitated by one bill, while another provides
the means for the union of all‘of the schools
of a township into a centralized township unit
school. The tuitiOn fee which a‘ school district
must pay for an eighth grade graduate who
attends high school outside such districts has
been raised to'$60 to promote the higher‘cdu-
cation of country boys and girls.

ENTURIES, just how many is a- disput-

ed question, have not detracted a bit
from the truth of that statement: “Secdtime
and harvest shall not fail’.’ 1 _
But recent years have put a qualiﬁcation
on the part of that statement which refers to.
' . the harvest, for although harvest seldom falls, .
an occas: onal harvest is only a semblance Of a
crop
counted against the crop, the harvest is a

ﬁnancial failure, unless the planter insured

his crop.

There are hundreds of cotton farmers in
Georgia, who would not even qualify the
statement about seedtime and harVest, hoW-'
ever, for their experience of last year con-

vinces them that it is not necessary, so secure _

were they under their blankets of crop insur-
ance money realized as result of crop failui cs.

This is a new thing for farmers—this. crop
insurance. The company wh' ch wrote the
policies in the South last year and other sec-
tions too calls it “crop investment insur-
ance. ” New Jersey farmers .are talking
about the new policies;

farmers are testifying about them. One. of
the leading Southern newspapers tells how
Governor-elect Thomas I'Iardwick returned

to Atlanta after several days absence and told
his friends that the crops on his farm were a
failure.

The' Governor—elect was interrupted by his
friend Thomas Little who is a farmer

“My crops were insured and I haven’t lost
a cent.” said Little. Then he told how he
had taken out crop insurance that made him
secure against the ravages of the cotton boll
Weevil and the ﬁckleness of the weather, be-
sidesﬁrelieving himiof a great deal of worry
while he was away frOm his farm. .

crops last year——hundreds . of farmers .ac—I

the past season’s growth is selected and after
cutting them into lengths of:

plainly labeled and .tied into
bunches of convenient size.

They should then be packed in

Sand or sawdust and stored in

a cool cellar or some place to

prevent them from starting in-‘

lambs can be dipped in a tub or barrel at very
little expense

Another minOr operation that should be
looked after at this time of the year is the
trimming of the sheep’s feet, ‘all sheep but
more especially. the ﬁne wool breeds grow an
extremelylong hoof during the winter months
and 'if not removed it is apt to harbor a large

.amount of dirt which may result in‘Sore feet.
—This operation is best performed with prun-

ing shears after the sheep have been out on
pasture a few days as their feet Will soften up

by contact with the moist ground.

Provisions should also be made during the

-month of May to provide some forage .cr0ps‘

on which to feed the lambsafter they- are
weaned. VIn'ter‘nal parasites especially stom-
ach worms take‘a heavy toll from a good many
flocks of sheep. In‘our experience at the

Michigan Agricultural College we have found1

that if the lambs come the last of February or
the ﬁrstof March and the flock is given one
or two changes of pasture during May and
June, the lambs‘weaned the ﬁrst of July and
placed on a clean pasture that has not been
pastured by sheep for one year the risk or
loss from stomach Worms is reduced to a min-
imum. The best pasture that can be pro-
vided for lambs after. weaning is Dwarf Es-
sex Rape. The rape should be sown earlyin
May being broadcasted at the rate of four to
six pounds per acre on heavy ground that
provides plenty of moisture. On light ground

' it is advisable to drill at the rate of two to

three pounds per acre in rows 30 inches apart
and cultivate to conserve moisture; '

The flock should at all times have abun—
dance of shade where they may get away from
the flies and during midsummer when flies
are bad a few furrows should be plowed in
the pasture where‘the sheep may stir up some
dust and in this way repel the flies. If the
sheep’s fleece remains mo st from continuous
rains or becomes soiled' and dirty about the
rear parts, the flies will blow them, theresu-lta
ing maggots working into the flesh causing in-
tense pain and often the loss of. sheep. The
sheep should therefore be. tagged as often as
it is noted that any of them are becoming foul.
Where maggots gain a foothold as indicated
by the sheep stamping its feet and endeavor.
ing to get at the affected part with their teeth
the wool should be trimmed away and the
part treated with some one of the coal tar
preparations in the proportion of one part of
the dip to ten parts of water

"I‘HE MOST universal, the most complete“
and the most accurate measure of the
ability of the individual to pay personal taxes '

is “net income.” “Personal property own-
ed”, correctly determined and expressed in

 

 

dollars will measure the taxable ability that' 3'

comes from the ownership of certain kinds of
"wealth, such as securities and credits “Net

income’ ’will measure such Wealth e11ually as.

well, and will measure “taxable ability”3r
sulting from the earnings of the salaried man,
the professional man, the business man, the

laborer; it. measures “taxable ability” result- 33'_

ing from rents and royalties and introduced
into a system 'of4 taxation it materially broad-
ens the base of taxation.

Adam Smith, years ago, laid down this

proposition: “Subjects of every State ought _

to contribute to the support of the govern-
ment as nearly as possible. in proportion to
their respective abilities; that is ,———‘—in propor-
tion to the revenue which they respectiVely

enjoy under the protection of- the State.”

Other students of taxation holding that taxes

are the part of the citizen’s property or earn— '
ings he contributes for public use in order to ‘

insure protection for the rest of his prope1t‘y
or income, have supported Adam. Smith’s
proposition that taxation should be propor-
tional; declaring that as protection or beneﬁt
received is proportional to the amount of

property protected or income enjoyed it nec-

essarily follous that taxation to be ediirtable,
must be directly proportional to property or
income. Most modern writers, While, not (1113.:
jecting to proportional taxation 'of tangible
property, hold that direct personal taxation,

through an income, tax, should not be propor-.

tional but progressive Even Adam Smith
modiﬁed his famous principle by declaring:
“It is not unreasonable that the rich should
contribute to public expense not only in pro—
‘ portion to their revenues but som Lillllg 11101:
than in proportion

A personal income tax, with exemptions
suﬁ‘icicnt to enable the individual to maintain
a proper standard of living, and with rates of

tax graduated so as to equalize as far as pos-f

sible the sacriﬁce imposed, is the fairest, the
most equitable and the least oppressive sys-
tem of taxation as yet devised, and the only
system that will reach those whose wealth is
in intangible property, and those whose in-
come is derived from personal effort.
Great Scope of the Income Tax

The justice and equity of the progressive
income tax is further shown by the fact that
it reaches ‘oﬁicials, professional men, and cer-
tain classes of business men who escape en-
tirely the general propertv taX. Of such it is
the truth to say that their gains are compara-
tively large. They live in style and comfort.
They enjoy the protection and beneﬁts of
government and society without contributing
directly to its support. They are also as a
class well educated and well informed, but by
Jeason of being untouched by taxation they
have little concern as to public business, and
are apt to become indifferent to their duties
as citizens. The bringing of this class into
the group of taxpayers is a distinct public gain
from more standpoints that that of rev-
‘ enue ##*=lt= '
The claim is made that the income tax can-

not be efﬁciently administered without cans-3
ing capital to seek immunity by withdrawing,
from the States enforcing such a tax. The

31efutation of this claim is found in the atti-
tude of the States administering a present
day personal income tax, such States as New
York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Missouri and
3 Oklahoma Not one of them, after experi-
“_ence with this form of taxation has any

TMDEVVAND MARKET REVIEW
, N THE «ssun of April 30, pre-
, .. ' ' ’ dictions were made in this... de-

' pertinent foreshadowing an early

V . rise in the market prices for all farm

, products and other basic!- materials
‘that have been recently depressed,
by rank market manipulation to lev-
els for below the original cost of
production- The recent short sell-
ing drive, against the 'May option in
grains and provisions, was referred
to and the prediction was made; that
after long side of the May option
. - was wiped ol'f the board, the market

- would turn, permanently, for the
., better. The writer expressed the
' . belief that. the upward trend .in
I;- ~ values, when once it. started. would
I“ “ ' be just as positive and persistent as
had been the campaign of depression
which preceded it. ‘With the din)
of the month. the predicted improve-
ment began and has persisted ever
since with comparatively slight- re-
actions. Current market quotations
for Wheat, corn, oats, mess pork,
1 lard, ribs, hides, wool, cotton,
;. stock and all related products show
I a marked gain over those which
ruled during the closing week in
I ' April; a fact that. is much‘smore en-
couraging than the actual gain in
selling value of those commodities.
is the marked improvement in the
general tone of the market.

Much has been said, of late, by
the chronic pessimists among us,
concerning the tremendous stocks of
grain and other food products with
which American warehouses are ﬁll-
ed. There is good reason to believe

   
   
 
 
  

 

 

 

. . .. “aw “men".

V , the direction of a foreign trade re-
‘ ‘ viva] which will carry America's exL
port trade with Europe up to .11 total
I never befbre realized. It. is needless

I: to say that a. revival of export» buy-
, .. ing, of“ our products by foreigners.
»V,, would speedily wipe out the burden-
; some Supply about which so many
I ‘ good men are worrying.
: The immediate prospect of much
I cheaper money is helping trade and
,r market conditions, just now. Many
I of the leading Federal Reserve banks
have reduced interest rates to 6 per

cent and more. are expected to do so

very soon. The recent bouyancy of

the grain and commodity markets

,V has already helped trade in many
», lines and still further improvement

’ is expected before Ion".

It is a fact that» present». conditions
are much more favorable to the
launching of a general business rc-
vival, than any which have existed
since the campaign of deflationbe-
gun, early last summer; the stage is~
set for an upward movement and
the only.obstaclc in the path "of im-

- ' provemcnt is the. uncertainty con-
cerning the ultimate settlement of
the rcparr tions problem. It will be
impossible for Germany to postpone
making a decision very much long-
er; it is quite possible that the an-
nouncement of a permanent world
peace may be made before the cur-
rent issue of this paper reaches the
hand of the reader. American trade
and manufacturing industry are
waiting for a. ﬁnal settlement, be-
tween the allied nations and the
Central Pox-.0 erg. and when it comes
thousand of idle wheels will begin
to turn and thousands of working-
men, still in the ranks of the unem-
ployed, will be called to'service.

prices holding their own at Detroit.
Export buying has been fairly good

of late and indications at present

; If business must be taxed
because of the demand for revenue,
it should be justly and equitably

The statute exempting cut over or
wild lands from taxation reads- in
part as follows: “Hereafter any cut-
over or wild lands, as deﬁned here-
in which shall be actually purchased
by any person for the purpose of
making a‘ home shal-l be exempt
from the payment of all taxes for a
period of ﬁve years thereafter.” The
second section provides that if you
want the exemption you must apply
for it. -~ A reasonable construction-
of your failure to apply for it would

be' that you waived the- exemption...
You might say you did not know of

the law but you know the presumpe
tiou that everybody is supposed to

know the law, although we all know

they don’t. I fear that, in the eyes

of the law you would not be legally

entitled to any exemption after ﬁve

years from the time' yOu purchased

the super?
visor would be justiﬁed in making

the exemption. —Legal Editor.

LICENSE TO PEDDLE [MEAT

Do I have to have a license to run
a meat wagon through towns and the
country? If so, what kind of a license
would I have to have- a state, county or
just a village license for the village?
Also. how much is the license fee?—H.
A., Maribn, Michigan.

C. L. 19,15 section 6498, provides
for inspection of meats intended for
human consumption and the follow-
~ing sections provide. that cities and
villages may adopt ordinances for
inspection and license. If the city
or village in which you desire to ped-
dle meat has such an ordinance you
will have to comply with the terms.
Each city or village would require a
license and you would have to get a
license in each city and village that
you desired to peddle in and un-
doubtedly each city would have a
different rate. I do not knowof any
state license. Section 6508 contains
this proviso: “Provided further that
nothing in this act shall be constru-
ed to prevent any farmer from kill-
ing, dressing and selling, in the open
market, unless diseased any' animal"
or fowl intended for food that he has ~
raised, fed or slaughtered, nor any

He Stood By His Guns _
O WORD-S of higher praise could be
N spoken of 11 111-1111 than to "say of him
that “he stood by his guns” The men who
stand courageously by their guns in this
worldof conflict are few and far between. It
is so easy to follow the crowd which flees
helter skelter when danger ~impcnds, so easy
to go around obstacles instead of removing
them, so easy to ("Ol'llpl'ﬂl'lllse when victory.
means sacriﬁce . and so easy to retreat in the
defense of principle when other friends of
principle r1111 up the white flag. that many of.
the ﬁnest men in the world are led astray
upon the smooth pathway of expediency.
But not all. Here and there we ﬁnd men
standing alone defending sing1ehanded what
they believe to he the right, and accepting
without complaint the jccrs of the multitude
Such a man is Senator Herbert F. Baker who.
for two consecutive terms in the state senate
has been the leader of: a small group of pro-
gressive senators in a desperate ﬁght against
what they believed to be reactionary forces.
Theirs has been a thankless job because the
people do not take the time to inquire into the
issues at stake and accord those who stand
for the pcoplc’ s rights the credit that is their
due. During the entire session of the' legis-
lature Senator Baker and his progressive
colleagues maintained a consistent opposition
to salary grabs, increased appropriations
where none were needed and legislation to
betray the people of: the state into the hands
of predatory interests. While othey did not
always succeed in stopping vicious legislation
or Securing beneﬁcial legislation their influ-
once was nevertheless great and the.state of
Michigan is inﬁnitely better 011 because these
men fought the good ﬁght in defense of the
people’s rights, and
against overwhelming odds.
Although the peeple have failed as yet to
- recognize the great worth of the services per-
formed by Senator Baker in the last session
of the legislature, they have not been permit-
ted to become ancient history Without favor-

Finally, I imagine the largest dis-

they must capitalize their business-

could it be done without the good;

Wurster Brothers the big distribo“

The Farm Bureau was new. and '
the co—operatlve idea was red-hot
in the Grange. The farmers were
disgusted with the milk business as"
it was .and it was natural that, the
Ann Arbor Dairy Company shoufd
be born or a combination of capital

The Little Cettage Organ
N A CORNER of the attic, I found the other day
The little cottage organ that mother used to play,

It stood amid the shadows, closed and silent—yet to IIme
It brought a precious vision, still held dear to memory.

I could see the quaint old parlor, and the loved One gaﬂmred there—4
Hear my father’ s lover-ant accents, in the chapter, and the prayer. '
Then the organ, softly. blending, with the hush of twilight dim— ‘
“W161i mother led the singing of some sweet familiar hymn. '

“Rock of Ages,” wondrous promise, Har ! the notes triumphant ring—1-
“Ainde With Me,"I and “Calvary”—or “Beulah Land,” we’d sing.

We learned both words and music, in the best of ways, I know-—I

1'4‘01 mother’s voice we followed, in those hours—long, long ago. I

» lam sure you can remember—how we children loved so well

' To touch the iVOrv key-board, ﬁnger every stop 'and swell. . '
We’d say “USe this 01 that 0ne"——lhougl1 perhaps it might be Wrong—I—
By using flute or tremolo, we often spoiled the song. » '

But mother would be patio nt, she’d just. let us try again— _ .
Until at last we knew the air, and joined in .the refrain.

I think she taught us how to live, attuned to God’s own key—4
.With tender care, she helped us ﬁnd—Love’ 3 patient harmony.

' iTheyears have passed, and now We have a wonderful machine.

'We listen to great artists—who may please a king or 'queen.

But, you cannot buv a record, like the music heard today,

“’hen I dreamed of home, and mother—and the sengs she used to play. «

course the lady in the city can cook
just as good but she does not have
the things under her hand like we
do on the farm.

we have always done, but of course
we cannOt make use of the things we
learn as heretofore but there is joy
in seeing new improvements.‘

We lend a hand to our neighbors,

as we often did on the farm, and
ﬁnd them Iquite as congenial. Of
course there is considerable differ;

ence between the clang of the street

quiet sounds fronl‘ the barnyard but
it does not seem to disturb .our res-t. -

Hints for Program

May ~I ask you to publish a few hints
in arranging a program for a Farmers’
Club? Which of the following plans
do you think would be the best suit-
ed to keep the members interested To
arrange a program of study and enter-
tainment to cover several meetings in
advance or to have a new committee on
pregram for each meeting?

Thanking you for the help we are nl-_
ways sure of, through vnur paper. I re-
main ——Mrs L. A K” Leonard. Mich.

,_,__.__.__.

As' a rule a good lively . debate
awakens much interest and as a race
we Americans like the Irish: love an
argument.

Perhaps we indulge in It too fre—
quently, for argument is not conver-
sation and there is little so interest-
ing and so rare as good conversa-
tion. It does not consist in spin-
'n'ing yarns or in listening to some
one's conﬁdence. Heaven defend us
from the conﬁdential friend!

A debate on your program will in-

cite much interest even if'the ﬁner

balance 0: judgment is sometimes
lost in the heat of an argument, per-
haps it is all the more interestoing
on that account.

Why not have a subject or two
assigned for discussion, give it to
two or three people and let each
.talk upon it from a different view—
point.

Then put on your program a sub—
ject for impromptu discussions, the
subject to be announced at the
meeting It must necessarily be a
topic with which many are familiar.

This. may bring forth some good
conversatmn in which country peo-
‘ple, 81Who rely more 0n. themselves
and each other for entertainment,
may do better than city people,- Who

are somewhat iii danger of b‘ecom- _

ing mentally lazy as they rely very
much on listening to music, wit—
nessing the drama or a movie or the
prevalent game of whist for their
entertainment. : .

Then give to two or three "good
talkers each? a topic. for a short ad-
dress.

, With an evening or two given up
to pure amusenrent and, “A little
nonsense now and then is relished by
the best of men," your farmers’

‘ club should be a decided success.

A printed program sent out .in ad-
vance generally insures a good at-
tendence and is better than one ar-
ranged .for each meeting; it excites
interest and curiosity both and there
is mere certainty that all parts will
be well carried out. I can, send
you a list of topics and possibly
some material if you wish. ‘

HOME LAUNDERING

ASHING AND iron‘ing are
. among the hardest of the regu;

lar household tasks, and ways
of lessening the work are much
needed in many homes. The ideal
of every housekeeper would be 8a
separate room for her laundry, with
running water and modern labor-
saving devices. These can not be
provided in every home, but even
where the arrangement and equip-
ment are necessarily very simple 1*
is often possible to make minor
changes or to plan the work in such
a way that it will take less time and
strength.

The Laundry Room

In olden days. tubs and
benches were brought into the
kitchen because water could be
heated there most conveniently, and
from this seems to have developed
the idea that the kitchen is the
place for the laundry. The odors
and steam from laundry work, how-
ever, are disagreeable in a kitchen.
and the handling of soiled clothing
in any room in which food is pre-
pared is' highly objectionable. If
clothes must be washed in the kitch-
en, the preliminary sorting should
be 'done elsewhere.

In some sections especially in
the south, it is considered prefer-

8 able to have the washing done out
of doors or in a room outsde of the,

Otherwise the best place for

house.
is usually either in a

a laundry

- room next to the kitchen or in a

basement room directly below it.
because this makes it possible to
use the same chimney and if the
house is equipped with running wa-
ter the same water pipes for both
rooms. A basement laundry gener-

any means too many stairs for the

housewife, while a room adjoining
the kitchen may enable her much
more easily to carry on or oversee
the work in both roomsat the same
time. . .

Dear Uncle Ned:—-I' have not written
before but as the Children's Hourﬂis free"
for all to join. and is very interesting.
I will tell you of one. of my trips last
summer. About the middle of August .a
earload of young people went for a. joy
ride. We intended to go and see a dam
about ﬁfty miles from my home. The
road lay mostly ,through wooded coun-
try and the scenery was very pretty.
Wild ﬂowers grew along "the roadside
and pretty birds flitted in. the Virees. As
we turned a bend in the road we came to
one of nature’s most beautiful Works
The road ran very near to a low valley,
where trees lined all sides but one, on
which was a sandslide. As the sun
shone on the sand it seemed to gleam
like gold. Small smnes._and aloose sand
would roll and slide down almost to the
water’s ege. In the hollow of the val-
ley was alsmall lake. perhaps a. mile
across. In the center of the lake was a.
small island. It did not seem more than
100 feet from the level of the surround-

The fact that he refuses to sell to
new producers also illustrates that
he failsto realize that they all stand
or~ fall ’ together, but 1rather
use the privileges of the organiza—
tion fer the beneﬁt of the few which
will eventually wreck any concern.

This is not a kick on the Dairy
Company 1101' especially Braun. He
is an excellent manager and the com-
pany is strong. What I would em—
phasize is that Braun’s ideas are ab—
solutely opposed to co-operation and
it is perfectly clear to me why he
should “climb. your frame”—pan you
generally. He can't see things your

ABE SOLDIERS NEGLECTED?
AM SENDING'you a clipping. that
' I cut out of a paper, and I would
like to know if it is the truth all
through, and it so I would like to
see it printed in the BUSINESS FARM-
su. It, seems too awful to believe:
“Guy M Wilson, a prominent ofﬁcer

‘in the Legion and himself a soldier of
the World War stated at Lansing re—

cently before a legislative committee
that there are 14, 000 injured and sick
soldiers in Michigan, neglected by this

great state, deprived of necessities and,
- treatment and care,

living in hundred
of instances, in poor houses and reel—l
plants of private charity as well that

the state Would not even sell the hospital '

on the state's military training grounds
Custer for their occupancy. but

id sell it at a great sacriﬁce to private

interests. C'ol Wilson further charged
that this great state, under its mis—man-
agement has been receiving three dol-
lars a dirty for each of these soldiers
government. but that only
eighty-six cents of that amount has been
applied to the purpose for which it was

paid but that this state'has been proﬁty

eering off her soldier protectors. to the
extent of the difference of $2.14-- a sol—
dier .per day. This is hardly believable
and yet it is unequivocally stated and
charged and brings the blush of shame
to the cheek of citizens of the state."——-
Chas Cook Charlevoix County.

As to the truth of those statements I
have no personal knowledge, but if Mr.
Wilson made them I have no reas0n to
doubt them. Similar charges have
beeln made by national ofﬁcers of the
American Legion, and Pres. Haxding has
instructed an investigation to be made
of the needs of eat-soldiers There
seems to be no good reason why the re~

' turned scidiers of this state should have

suffered as there was a balance of near-
' y $500 900 in the patriotic fund to take
care of’the . wants. Instead of it be-

the aggregate relative net‘ ﬁnancial
results of the respective locals. ’ This
method recognizes the differences in
operating cost at the different locals
and provides a means whereby the
supporters of less proﬁtable locals

is there .a heavy loss of’ seed from
shattering, but the quality of the

seed which remains is subject to in-'

jury from mildew and weathering.
In case of prolonged wet weather
the seeds are likely to sprout in the
stack.

Ripe hairy vetch should be har-
vested at night, or at least. very ear-
ly in the day, while the pods are still
damp and tough from the dew. The
best-hours are from midnight until
7 or 8 in the morning. This. may
seem'la hardship, but will be found
well worth while in the extra quality
of seed obtained. If. harvesting is
delayed until late in the day, the
pods dry out to such an ”extent that
the burn of the mowing machine is
accompanied by a popping of the
pods as a shower 'of seed falls to the
ground behind the harvester.

The threshing and marketing of

is grain will be discussed next
week. - ‘

VJULY PLOlVING BEST FOR
“’HFAT

Every wheat grower who is: a
close observer will recall that early
plowing produces a better yield of
wheat, but how early does this
mean? Repeated experiments show
that it means at least as early as
the middle of July, says the Univer—
sity of] Missouri College of Agri-
culture. In careful experiments
July plowing has yielded double the
amount of" September plowing.
.The reasons for this are the stor—
age of plant food and moisture in
plowed soil. Natural processes are

constantly making plant food avail- ;
I early and

able, but if weeds are grdwing in the
stubble they immediately take. up

, this food and the moisture needed .

for growth. Early plowing is bene—
ﬁcial in four ways: (1) Organic
matter as stubble and weeds, is

~buried and begins an early decay,

thereby becoming more beneﬁcial to
the Wheat crop; (2) The soil

crumbles and settles, so that by lat-

Mr. Dairyman: Would it not be
wiser to grade up your dairy herd
