State Income Tax 18 Now Up to the Voters
_ Herd-Fought Battle, Feature cf‘Special Session, Won by Farmers - Working in Unison.
THE LENNON income tax Will be submitted to P 601318 N (member, 1922 the rules be suspended and the res-

a'mendment resolution w a s
passed by the senate June 8th, the senate
amendments were agreed to by the house
and the amendment will be submitted to the
electors of the state in November, 1922.

‘Senate Prescribes Limits

I ' The original amendment, as it passed the

house, did not include the provision lirhit-
ing the tax to 4 per cent and did not con-
tain the requirement that the tax must be
computed on net incomes. These amend-

mentswere inserted by the senate commit- ~
> tee on taxation at the request of represen-

tatives of Michigan Manufacturers’ associ-
ation.

The amendments were not made until '

Wednesday morning, when it became evi-
dent that the income tax resolution would
pass ‘the senate during the day. Oppon-
ents of the income tax plan conceded that
there were 25 votes in the senate to pass the
resolution before the 4 'per cent limit was
inserted. Its acceptance by supporters of
the tax resulted in a vote for the measure
that fell just short of being unanimous.

'It was understood that an agreement had
been made with Gov. Groesbeck that the
new Corporation Tax Law would be repeal-
ed whenever .an income tax becomes elIec-
tive, because retention of the Corporation
Tax would mean double taxation for cor-
porations.

Two Detroit members of the senate, Wal.
ter J. Hayes and Arthur E. Wood voted for
the resolution because of ' the concession

' made by its supporters in accepting the 4

per cent limitation. Two other Detroit
senators, John W. Smith and Oscar A. Rio-
pelle, voted against the amendment despite
the 4 per cent limitation, while the other
Detroit member, George M. Condon, was ab-

sent. The two Detroit senators and Arthur .

E. Bolt of Muskegon were the only members
to vote'against the resolution in its ﬁnal
form- -

When the senate ’s amendment was
sentto the house it had the support on the
floor of Rep. Peter B. Lennen, of Genesee

' County, introducer of the" resolution, who

pointed- to, it as evidence of good faith on
the part of . the farmer organizations which

have fought for the income tax, that they
“ do not interidto attempt to obtain an exor-

bitant levy. He said that in all probabil-

ity a tax, if , levied, would not ' exceed

two per cent. The only votes which were

.“Provision m a y b e

Rep. Wade asserted that the 4 per cent
stipulation would lead people to believe
that this would be the rate and would scare
them.

“Ibelieve that this amendment was
tacked on for the deliberate purpose of de-
feating the measure at the polls,” he said.

Rep. Lennon replied that the phrase
“Not to exceed 4 per cent” is clear and
that he believed the people would under-
stand it. _

“As a matter of fairness, we should not
injure the manufacturing interests, the
business men nor the professional men by
an unduly heavy rate, and this amendment
shows we want to be fair,” hesaid-

Vote Brings Surprises
- Theincome tax resolution passed the sens?
ate without debate. Senator Frank H.
Vanderboom, of Marquette, chairman of the
senate committee on taxation presented a
report of his committee oﬁermg the 4 per

m ‘"’:t'_'li_init§iﬁ0n amendment and that insert-

ingthewordrne." and recommending
121181; the. resolution be passed. Senator

~: Gharlés A. Sink, of Ann Arbor, moved that

olution be put on its immediate
passage. This motion prevailed and Sena-
tor Thomas H. McNaughton, of Ada, moved
the previous question.
At this point, Senator Smith, of Detroit,
arose and endeavored to point out that the
adoption of this motion would shut off all

' debate. He was ruled out of order and the

roll was called.

To those familiar with the senate line up
on the income tax previous to the last 24
hours, the roll was a series of surprises. The
ﬁrst came when Senator Hayes, of Detroit,
voted for the amendment. This showed the
governor’s success in dividing one of the
two delegations that the opponents of the
resolution had counted upon for united op-
position to the income tax. The second sur-
prise was furnished when the upper penin-
sula delegation, supposed to be solidly op-
posed to the tax, voted unanimously for the
amendment resolution.

Smith Denounces Tax

There were 27 votes for the amendment,
by Senators Amon, Baker, Brower, Bryant,
Clark, Davis, Eldered, Engel, Hamilton,
Hayes, Henry, Hicks, Johnson, Lemire, Mc-
Arthur, McNaughton, McRae, Osborn, Pen-
ney, Phillips, Ross, Sink, Smith, of Port
Huron, Tufts, Vanderboom, Wilcox and
Woods.

Senator Smith, of Detroit, reserved the
right to explain his vote. In making this
explanation he declared that the senate had
done more to perpetuate the present con-
ditions of unemployment and industrial de-
pression than could have been done in any
other way. He described the income tax
as a plan under which the farmers hoped
to shift their tax burden to the cities. The
senators formerly opposing the bill had
“changed their convictions strangely and
over night,” he said, not at the behest of
their consciences, but upon the advice of
the governor.

The'passage of the income tax resolution
in the senate was looked upon by everyone
as a personal triumph for Governor Groes—
beck. It is conceded that his work for the
measure during the past two days was the
main reason for its passage, sentiment

7, against it having been strong enough to as-

sure its defeat at any time before yester-
day.

Submission of the amendment at the No-
vember election in 1922, is believed to as-

sure a lively contest; The forces working, ’

against the tax in "the legislature arrived

at the conclusion some time ago that. the ' -
farmers would submit it by initiative, if it .
were not approved in the legislature, and ,, '

began to lay plans for ﬁghting it in the
election. ‘ -

P disposal of wool in the state

farm bureau’ s 1921 pool will be
going on simultaneously within a
few weeks according to plans of the
wool department. Grading teams
'are now making their second and
clean-up visit to a number of grad-
ing warehouses in the southern part
of the state. This is calculated to
insure cariot quantities or the vari-
. ous grades, for the inspection of
buyers. The real movement of 1921
wool is expected to start about July
1, although some of the new wool
has been sold to date. Such action
means that buyers will be able to
follow close on the heels of grad-
ers as the pool grows older, says the
department.

Wool continues to roll into the
pool and grading schedules are ﬁll—
ed for several weeks ahead. De-
mands for repeat visits are said to
be taxing the elasticity of the wool
grading schedule. To date more
than $100, 000 has been advanced to
growers in initial cash advances of
ﬁfty per cent of the market value of

A

the graded web] on date of pooling.
The advance on Delaine wool, has
been 15 cents; other grades have
commanded less. Local buyers are
declared to have been offering but
slightly more as payment in full.

With the pool at better than 1,-
000,000 pounds, ﬁve grading teams
took the field June 13. Their daily
capacity is 75,000 pounds. The
1921 system plans that when the
last pound of wool has been pooled,
the last pound will have been gf'dd-
ed. The graders are keeping abreast
of the peeling quite well, according
to the farm bureau. When the

peeling is done, the system intends

that every grower shall have receiv-
ed his cash advance and that the
disposal of the pool will be well un-
der way through the farm bureau's
blankets, yarn and suitings manu—
facturing program and through the
sale or raw wool to the mills.
Wool is coming to the graders this

year in the ﬁnest kind of condition,

a situation which isreflected in ex-
tra returns to the grader. says the
farm bureau.. Prompt grading of
wool on receipt has been found to
place the wool before the grader in

oral warehouse sli‘suimner and ”if
to be graded on the dark days of ta11_

‘ and winter after it had lain in a bag

, for some time and had lost some of

its original brightness.

About ﬁfty of the 116 grading
warehouses have been visited by
graders for the ﬁrst time. Present
indications are that quick system:
atic work will feature the disposal
of the. 1921 wool pool, says the
farm bureau.

SAID?!

Given good management, any enterprise that can make 11
substantial net as sing must be considered safe. Security
alone back of your investment does not make for safety.
Safety must mean more than mere safety of your principal-
It must also mean certainty of the ability of the enterprise
to make substantial returns on your investment. In this
respect no enterprise could be more favorably situated
than the Peteskey Transportation Company.

BUBBTANTIAL EARNINGS

The Petoskey Transportation Company is under contract
with the Petoekey Portland Cement Company to deliver ce-
ment and crushed limestone for the latter concern, and
haul coal from Toledo and other lake ports to the plant of
the Petoskery Portland Cement Company. This guarantees
snaiclent tonnage to keep the boats of the Petoskey Trans-
portation Company running at maximum capacity during
the entire navigation season. Any boat company, with all
the tonnage its boats can carry is in a position to make a
very substantial net earning.

After taking care of all operation expenses and deprecia-
tion, the total net earning available for dividends is over
$176,000. This is more than twice what is required to pay
8 per cent on its $1,009,090 preferred stock, and thus a
very good earning will be made on the common stock.

In arriving at this not eu-nlng. operation costs were cal-
culated on a basis far above the present level of costs.
Many lake captains and others experieneced in boat oper-
ation declare that the Petoskey Transportation Company
is in a most favorable position to make a very large earn-
in:-

» The Company’s ﬁrst boat of 1,000 tons carrying capacity
during its ﬁrst three weeks of spa-atlas. produced a net

The use of cement is only in its infancy. '11:. demand
for cement for construction is growing by leaps and bounds.

Reins located right on the lake, the Petoskey Portland
Cement Company will always have a large and ready mar-
ket for its cement and cmshed limestone in all Great
Lakes markets. This same fact means a long life for the
Petoskey Transportation Company. It will always have all
the tonnage that its boats can carry. It has no competi-
tion. It will have as long a life as the Petoskey Portland
Cement Company. and from the fact that the ‘ Petcskey
Portland Cement Company owns sufﬁcient raw material to
produce 5.000 barrels of cement per day for over 100 years,
and in addition sell hundreds of thousands of crushed rock
£3011 Year, it is evident that the Petoskey Transportation
Company has a long and bright future.

HONEST AND CAPABLE MANAGEMENT

Every wise investor knows thatmanagement is a very
important factor entering into the success of any enter-
prise. The men composing the Board of Directors 01' the

FARM BUREAU FIGHTS FOR
STOCKMEN

EPRESENTATIVES ot the De-
partment of Transportation at
the American Farm Bureau

Federation appeared at the Inter-
state Commerce Commission hearing
in Denver on June 1 and in Chicago
on June to present evidence show-
ing why railroad rates should be re-
duced. The hearings involved the
rates on live stock in the Western
District. It was proposed that the
Commission remove the 35 per cent
general advance established on Au-
gust 26, 1920.

The Farm Bureau declared that
it can be shown that the average
earnings of the railways in the Unit-
ed States are 106 per cent of those
in 1913. Beef cattle prices in May,
1921, show an index number of 100:
lat cows and heifers, 99; hogs, 100:
sheep, 120, and lambs, 144. The
pri on the live stock are the av-
atar: prlces for May, 1921, while
January,
1921, the latest available. The con-
tract is evident.

The Department of Transportation
showed that in the 8 months since
the increase in rates. from Sept,
1920 to April 30, 1921. there was-a
tremendous falling of! in the re-
ceipts of live stock at Chicago in
comparison with the corresponding
8 months of the year previous. This
decrease was 270.061 cattle, 11.226.
calves, 156,841 hogs, 193,405 sheep
and 7,752 horses. Similar data for
other stock yards shows a very gen-
eral decline in the receipts with the
exception of sheep.

The average price for beef cattle
at the Chicago yards during 1918
was $8.25 per cwt. This is identical-
ly the same value paid during May,
1921, while April showed an aver-
age price of ”.15. The average
price for native calves during 1913
was 810.10 per cwt. During April,
1921. the average price in Chicago
was 3731‘ and during May 58. The
average price of tat cows and ballots
in 1918 was “.10, and during May,

~ HE RURAL Credit law of South Dako-
ta is the biggest thing of. its kind so far
enacted by any state in the Union. It is a
model of simplicity and gets directly at the
' urgent and difﬁcult problem of - supplying
long-time loans for the farmer. It includes
important features of the cumbersome Europ-
ean systems, and those of Our Federal sys-
tem as well but these have been sifted out,
simpliﬁed, completely Americanized, and, in
fact, South Dakotaized, to meet the exact
needs of. the farmers of that state.
Loans are made to the farmers direct; there
I are no agents or middlemen, no commissions
to pay. He gets money much below prevailing
rates and on the easiest possible-terms“ The
state sens its bonds to obtain money, and in
loaning it is amply secured by ﬁrst mortgage
on farm lands. The farmer pays only a
small fraction of a per cent 'more than the
rate of interest on the bonds and in this way
the system is ﬁnanced and is‘ made entirely
self-supporting with no additional expense to
the taxpayers. The state appropriated $200,—
000 .to put the system in operation. All of
this amount has been paid back except $35,000,
and the board can turn this over at any time,
thus freeing the state entirely of all expenses.
These results have been accomplished since
July, 1917, when the measure became a law.

The rough places have been safely passed over.

and the system is now in full~ operation.

South Dakota has loaned her farmers dur-
ing the past three years $30,000,000. The
greater part of this amount was loaned at 51}
per cent; a small part at 6 per cent and still

‘ smaller amounts lately at 7 per cent. Whlch
will doubtless be the prevailing rate for some
time. The bond issue up to date stands at
$31,500,000. It is estimated that it will be
necessary to increase this amount gradually
up to $50,000,000z after which the annual
payments coming in will supply all needs for
current loans, and further sale of bonds will
be unnecessary.

It may be asked why should a state go into
the business of loaning money to farmers? One
of the most important reasons is that the
combined eﬁorts of the State Rural Credit
Board, The Federal Farm Loan Board and

. the local banks cannot furnish the farmers

the amount of money they need for properly
carrying on their business. South Dakota has
taken a broad view of the matter, that of
”Fostering ‘ agriculture, dairying, livestock
raising and the development and improvement
of farm lands.” And they are getting results.
' .As compared with previous prevailing rates
of interest,‘the amount already loaned is sav-
ing the farmers. of the state annually, more
than half a million dollars. Interest rates in
general have come down in the state since the
law has been enacted, and since the rural cred-
it! system carries only a very small part of the

out the state rural credit system.
Pioneer Work

It must be remembered that the subject of
lural credit in this country is comparatively
new. While cheap lands and homesteads were
available, there was little need of long-time

credit systems for farmers, but conditions have '

changed rapidly in the past twenty years, mak—
ing such systems entirely necessary.

Back in 1910 agitation of the subject in this
country became quite general.
American and United States commissions were
sent to study the credit systems in European
countries. As the ﬁnal result, the Federal
Farm Loan Act was passed, becoming a. law
July 17th, 1916.

During this entire period Peter Norbeck,
governor of South Dakota, saw the extreme
value of a rural credit system for his state. He
followed all developments closely, was a vigor-
ous supporter of the movement and ﬁnally,
after an amendment to the Constitution of

In 1913 the 4'

l

the state, was able to get a law enacted. To 3
him rightfully belongs much of the credit for ,
the present system, which is, indeed, a monu- .

ment to himself and to his state.
While the act creating the Rural Credit

Board in South Dakota became a law in July, .

1917, it was not until October 20th that the
ﬁrst loan was made.
ﬁrst loan was to a renter, who with the sup-

Strangely enough, this a

owner. He obtained a loan of $6,300 and pur-
chased a farm of 216 acres. The second and
third loans were made four days later and

,

since that time the Board has found consider— ,1

able diﬁiculty in meeting the demands as they
come in.

How the System Operates

It .must not be supposed that South Dakota
has opened up a great pot of gold in the center
of the state from which the farmers may grab,
as they like, all the money they need, and after
spending that return for more. Not so; for

ELSEY B. SMITH, leader of boys’ and
girls’ club work in Genesee county, has.
hit upon an idea for rewarding club members
which We would like to see carried out in ev-
ery county engaged in this line of work. .

It is the custom each year to hold what is
known as “Club Week” at the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College. The week .is spe11t_ in
studying stock judging, canning, cooking,
garment making, crops, etc., under the lead-
ership and instruction of the college author—
ities. Taking it in all the week is a memor-
able one for all who are fortunate enough to
attend. The only club members who may at—
tend the festivities of this occasion are the
boys and girls who have won ﬁrst ‘prizes in
country club projects.

Early in the spring of last year it occurred
to ‘Mr. Smith that some measure of reward
should be given to those boys and girls who

worked hard to earn the championships but

lost out by a- narrow margin. “It 1s the
nature of a child to be a good sport,” argued
Mr. Smith, “but he must have something to
build his faith upon. Will these children be
as anxious to start their project again 1f a
substitute for club work is not given?”
Having answered thatquestion in the nega-
tive Mr. Smith conceived the idea of conduct—
ing a camp for the club members who could
not go to Lansing. The successful manner 111
which this plan was carried out is described by
Mr. Smith as follows:

“‘The ﬁrst thing to be considered in forming
these plans was the site for the camp. We had
to present something that would be practical 'to
the men who we would have to visit when so—
liciting funds to ﬁnance the camp. Several sug-
gestions were given consideration but the county
fair ground-s located just on the edge of Davison
village was our ﬁnal choice. The buildings could
accommodate from two to three hundred per-
sons.‘ The grounds were well adapted for ath—
letics, there Was a good ball diamond and the
race track could be used for other sports. The
entire ﬁeld being enclosed by a fence making it
a private camp site., The fair association after
hearing the plan as we presented it to them were
enthusiastically impressed. They gave us full
use of both buildings and grounds for t‘he full
week of August 17th to let.

“Most camps are ﬁnanced by the people attend-
ing. Our ﬁrst plan was to make the members ﬁn-
ance the camp by paying their share of the ex-
pense. That did not meet with the approval of
the committee so we planned to get out a folder
’to inform the club members as to the require-
ments, rules and general information. This
would cost over $100 so we decided to sell ads.
« for' $25 per one-half page. We sold ﬁfteen $25
ads. netting us $375. This was sufficient to take
care of the greater expense of the camp.

“The Gleaners had a building on the fair
grounds in which they served meals during fair
week. After giving the Gleaners assurance that
there Would be good leadership, and agreeing
that we would hire a competent cook and they
could appoint a lady to represent the Gleaner or-
ganization to take charge of the order in the d1n—
ing hall we ﬁnally secured permission to use the
hall.

“Two thousand folders Were sent out to the

- camp.

 

The tooth brush drlll Whlch was gone through each morning by
11'! club memb '
Farm Bureau members. These folders contained
the ads. we sold to the merchants We were care—
ful not to approach any merchant who would not
receive some beneﬁt from the advertisement. A
letter was sent to the club members which our
ﬁles showed were ﬁnishers in the respective
project they were enrolled in. Publicity was
also started in the Flint Daily Journal. The re-
sult was eighty boys and girls enrolled for the

“The'requirements‘ for attending the camp
vere: lst. They must be ﬁnishers in some boys’
and girls’ club or enrolled in a summer club and
prove they are carrying on the work as laid out
by the Extension Department of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College. 2nd. They must pay $1 reg—
istration fee. 3rd. They must bring their own
bedding, etc. 4th. They must bring, 1 dozen
eggs, 2 loavesnof bread, 1- 2 bushel of potatoes
and 1 pound of butter. Nobody thought this was
too much to bring and nobody thought they were
getting something for nothing.

Our plan for developing a program was along
the plan of Club Week at M. A C. In the fore—
noon we had classes such as stock judging, cook-

Care of Chicks for June

THERE IS no month of the year more
beautiful than June. There is no month
of the year that is more, treacherous to the
poultryman than this beautiful month of

 

 

June. , (
Temperatures vary greatly during the
month. Wide Variations in temperature

cause all kinds of worry to the “Chicken
Man”. During the month temperature may
go below frost line, it may reach 100 degrees
Fahr. June has its beautiful days; it also
has its stormy ones as well. Chicks hatched
out during the very last days of May as is the
case of many farmer’s chickens or during the
very ﬁrst days of June usually give their own-
ers a lot of anxiety. After a stormy day or
two it often turns cold at night. If the temp-
erature under the breeder is not correct, that
is it is too low, the chicks huddle or “pile” in

the corners of the house and as a result a num-
ber are suffocated. The habit of “piling”
once contracted, they go on night after night
whether it be a warm or a cold one. Over
crowding causes over heating or “swetting.”
\Vhen morning comes, these over-heated chicks
get chilled in the cold morning air. They get
wet because of the heavy dew. Colds are con-
tracted and trouble (Continued 0% page 1.2)

district. For instructors we used loCal
county agents, Y. W. C. A. instructors, Extension
specialists from M. A. C. and county nurses. A.
splendid spirit of co- o—peration was shown by all
people and organizations approached.

“Because of the wonderful co-operation of the
local leaders we had ample leadership to keep
the children under the best of care. This was
very important because of the trust the parents
had in us by allowing their children to enter our
care. It was a revelation to the people who
watched the conduct of the children to see how
well behaved they were. The Gleaners reported
that a greater co- -operation could be had from

their organization in the future and that the hall-
was in as good condition as when we took it over .

at the beginning of the week. 'The fair associa-
tion began to plan on the next year’s camp for
as they said they were heart and soul for club
work. Best of all the children had such a good
time each went home a booster for club work.
This was entirely due to the aid the local leaders
gave to make the camp a success. These people
gave their time free and helped to make ' the
(amp the big success it proved to be. '

“A studied effort was made to give each boy or
girl some responsibility. Three girls Were ap-
pointed each day to aid in the dining hall and the
cooking. _Three boys were detailed to carry- wa-
ter, wood, and to empty waste materials. There
wasn’t a slacker in the entire camp. Every boy
and girl measured up to the task requested of
them. I have seen boys and girls from the coun-
try and those from the city in different groups but
for good behavior and responsibility I think the
country boy wins every time.

“The motto for Genesee county Boys' and
Girls’ Clubs is ‘What We Start We Finish.’ _We
think they live up to it too. This last winter
Genesee was a 100 per cent county in the hot
lunch project. One hundred per cent in the
handicraft project and only lacked two girls to
make the garment project 100 per cent. The
number of Hot Lunch Clubs were 21, Handicraft
4, Garment 9. The total enrollment for the coun-
ty in all projects was 417 members. With this
record we think the motto was lived up to the
letter but they forgot to put the last two quo-
ation marks down."

In recent years a most perplexing question
has confronted the fathers and mothers who
live on the farms. “How shall we keep our
children at home and contented?”
thing that has come the nearest to answering
that question is boys’ and girls’ club work
which not only gives the boys and girls some-
thing to occupy their idle hours, but instructs
them in the best manner possible upon the su-
perior advantages of farm life. Probably
more boys have been saved to the farm and
more girls to the farm home through boys’ and
girls’ club work than any other agency. The
possibilities of the movement hav'e’ been but
barely scratched, and , the

teach boys and girls responSibility, and the
true essentials of manhood and womanhood,
and help them enjoy the lessons while partak-
ing of them.

International Hay Machines-
speed up hay harvest

HERE are two big reasons why it is desirable to speed up
hay harvest—the cost of labor and the pressure of other
work. The quickest and most economical way to speed up
haying is to employ efﬁcient time and labor-saving machines.

McCormick, Deering and Milwaukee mowers are light in draft,
easy to handle, and can be depended upon to cut hay every
minute. McCormick and Deering rakes get all the hay.
national tedders hasten curing. They also insure more uniform
curiIIg and, therefore, better hay.
side-delivery rake and tedder is an economical machine in that it
can be changed instantly to rake or ted.

Think ofﬂthe time and labor an-International hay loader would save

The State Income Tax

HANKS TO Representative Peter B.

Lennon, of Genesee county; an efﬁcient
coordinated farmers legislative committee;
equally staunch, wise and worthy supporters
in the home and senate, and a governor of
the state with sand and sense enough to use
his every influence for what he believes right,
the income tax amendment resolution will he
submitted for the approval of the voters of
Mulligan, in November, 1922.

This is not so much a victory for the farm-
ing interests of Michigan who have been so
well allied with hundreds of honest and far-
sighted business men, in supporting this meas-
ure, as it is a reassuring proof that the gov-
erning body of a great state believes in letting
the people directly, through the ballot, sig-
nify their desires on so important a step.

It is in striking contrast to the record of
the sessions of a former regime, not so long
ago that it can be forgotten, when the all-Wise
heads of a. great state, decided that the people
were not to be trusted in their voice on an al-
most equally important suggestion.

November, 1922, seems now a long way off,
but actually a few short months will bring it
to our calendars and in the meantime the vot-
ers of Michigan must be fully advised of this
measure and what it will mean to them, col-
lectively and individually.

There may be good reasons why the income
tax will prove a hinderance to the upbuilding
of this state. If there are, let the opponents
of this bill come forward now with plain,
honest statements of the facts. Let us .be
done with Subterfuge, with misstatements,
with under-handed propaganda not founded
. on truth and let the merits of this case be

placed fairly and squarely before all. the
' voters.

If this is done, we have not the slightest
fear, but that the great ‘mass will see the
truth, grasp it and their verdict we shall ac-
cept not only as ﬁnal, but as right.

“ ‘Many of the larger manufacturers have
thorough cost-accounting systems. On the
other" hand, the number or small manufact—
urers who have no adequate cost-accounting
system and price their goods arbitrarily is
'amazing.’ He mentioned that out of sixty-
six thousand concerns doing a business of a.
hundred thousand dollars a year and upward
which have made reports to the commis-
sion, thirty thousand charged oi! nothing
for depreciation. ,

“This involves a great deal of essentially
unfair competition. The manufacturer or
merchant who sells goods at a loss, or at
no ”adequate proﬁt, because he does not keep
books properly and does not know whether
he is making a proﬁt or not, tends to force
his competitors into a like situation. True,
consumers may tor a time get goods that
much cheaper; but we do not believe there
is an ultimate gain to anybody. ' ,

“A man who does not keep boo‘ks prop-
erly. so that he really knows how his busi-
ness, stands and whether or not he is actual-
1y making a proﬁt, is not entitled to credit
and should not get it. Credit should always
be based on an intelligible and accurate bal-
ance sheet. Those who grant credit can do
:1 great deal to enforce adequate bookkeep-
n3!"

Does this not apply equally to the farmer
who refuses to keep any record of his costs?
Who does not hesitate to dump his farm pro-
duce on an already over—loaded market? Who
falls into the traps laid by wise buyers to get
his produce away from the growers organiza-
tion which has banded itself to protect his

rd

 

. interests?

It is a fact. The proﬁtless farmer is a
menace not only to himself and his family but
to the farming business.

 

Better Farm Credits

IT SEEMS ALMOST too good to be true.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon wants to
see the farmers get better? treatment from the
federal reserve banks. The former secretary.
a man by the name of Houston, never could
understand why the farmers needed any
money to ﬁnance their business, or if they did
why the government should help them get it
Under the Houston regime speculative inter!
sets were supplied with unlimited credit, but
producing interests were forced to go a—beg—
ging. John Skelton Williams, former comp-
troller of the currency, made h'mself most
unpopular (with the treasury and federal re-
serve board oﬂicials by his insistence that such
a policy was all wrong, and most detrimental
to the welfare of the country. Recent events
have disclosed some of'the unhappy conse
quences that have followed. in the wake of the.
uncalled for curtailment of agricultural cred‘
its. Had the farmers been able last fall and
winter to secure what credit they needed to
hold their crops there would have been no
such drastic declines, no such tremendous
losses, and no such industrial depression as
now stalks the land. ‘ Though it may have been
unwittingly, the federal reserve board and the
secretary of the treasury, one Houston, played
directly into the hands of the speculators and
proﬁteers when they withheld and recalled ex‘

tension of credit to the agricultural intereses.

Judging from Mr. Mellon ’8 comments to date
upon farm credits, we may expect an entirely
different attitude in the future toward. the
men who are the real producers of the nation's

RECENT lane of the oﬂicial organ of the
Michigan Milk Producers’ Amoeiotion
gloriﬁes over the fact that all branehesjof the
dairy industry‘in this state are. receiving the
support of tire state through the Allied Dan-y
Association which is made up ofindependent—
1y organized units ~ representing producers,
distributors, manufacmr‘ers of dairy products,

We do not mean to infer by this that the
producers’ association should not play with
associations representing the buying side if it
can do so without unconsciously coming under
the buyers’ inﬂuence. But by the very nature

prive him of the inside track. The Allied
Dairy Association may be able to accomplish
something by way of raising the standard of
dairy pmducts, but it will assuredly do nothing
to help the farmer get a larger share of the
consumer’s dollar. It might on the contrary
be expected to oppose in a quiet way such of.
forts on the part of the farmer. So long as
there is open warfare between those, who pro-
duce milk and those who buy it for resale,“ it
would be well for the producers’ association
to avoid making'bcd-fellows with the latter.

 

To Investigate Agriculture I ,

EFORE, during and since the war there

has been a good deal of complaint against
the farmer on variowr grounds from the ig-
norant and unthinking. The farmer has been
called a proﬁtoer, a heartless wretch, a chronic
kicker, a seeker of class'legislation, and other
equally odious names. The farmer has taken
all this abuse in good spirit. His reply has
been: “You talk this way because you do not
know any better. We are willing at any
time for the government to make an investi-
gation of our business to the end that the
fullest publicity may be made of our costs.
our work, our manner of living, and our loss-
es or proﬁts.”

But for some reason or other the consumer
has failed to accept the challenge. The gov-
ernment has blundered on its way almost if
not quite oblivious of the farmer’s welfare,
until, so insistent has become the demands of
the farmer, it has in recent months given a
large measure of- attention to farm problems. '
More than that, congress seems on the point
of making the long-deferred investigation of
the industry so that the farmer may soon be
revealed as a truly abused individual or an
unmitigated liar. ' ' ,

Whether such an investigation is really.
conducted or not the farmer’s willingness
that it should be has gained for him a some-
what higher measure of respect from other.
folks. It has been asked, “What other in-
dustry employing capital would be willing t'
have its practices and proﬁts laid bare to a
curious public.” The answer is obvious. ‘

they are dead willing to renew on

there is nothing doing. '

The treasury department at Wash-

ier. Our own state is spending a big
sum each year for state police to

give somebody a soft snap. We
have to help pay them but have
never seen one of-them up in this

neck of the woods and don’t need
them anyway. What has been done

per cent of real estate and 40 per cent

bankers of Northern Michigan in any
other way we’ll have to have such a
law in Michigan. The farm loan act
which has been tied up in the courts for
nearly a year is again operative and

THE FARM BUREAU—HAS IT
FAILED _OR SUCOEEDED?

N YOUR issue of April 23 Mr.

Briley asks, "Why are more than

' 50 .per cent of our farmers, (and
the smartest too) disgusted with the
Farm Bureau?”

The writer is not familiar with
conditions in Otsego county but in
his experience has found that quite
thecontrary is the case. I ﬁnd that
the hardest kickers against the. F.
B.‘ are those who are not members
at all. The next in line are mostly
those who do not'read at all or, if
they do, they read. such important
items as_ “Sam Jones was in Hall-
fax last week,” or “Jake Nichols
owns a new Ford." These people
are simply unable to see anything
that is beyond the point of their
nose and to these two classes may
very properly be applied the Greek
saying, “Against ignorance, the
Gods battle in vain.” ‘

And now the question is, is the
F. B. really such a'dismal failure as
some claim? The writer holds no
brief for the F. B. and'he has no

Has the FLM. not accomplished
enough during its short existence?
Maybe not. I contend that the or-
ganization work done by the F. B.
in 42 states is something wonderful
even if it had done nothing else. It
took the labor unions of England
over '10 years before they accom-
plished anything of importance. So
we have 67 years for the F. B. to
make good. _

I have noticed that private elevat-
or owners and even some, farmers
are hollering about the number of
clerks employed at F. B. headquart-
ers“ at Lansing and they tryto make
us farmers think that this entire ex-
pense was taken out of our wool but
they don’t. tell us that in this same
building is also located the seed de-
partment, the sales department, the
fruit growers exchange and last but
not least the elevator exchange
which alone does a business of many
millions per year and requires many

clerks. Why do they not mention
the Chicago Board of Trade? The
writer has been to this “largest

gambling den in the world” about
twenty times and is willing to bet
his old hat that the expense of
running this institution is from 20
to 50 times more than the entire ex—
pense of the F. B. at Lansing.

Don't forget that there are prob-
ably 15 to 25 such places in the U.
S. although smaller. And now
brother farmer just ﬁgure for a
minute who pays for these buildings
which have cost million to build and
who supports them? There are sev-
eral hundred jobbers, brokers ”and
grain commission men in your state
“making their living with a lead
pencil." They have hundred of of-

‘

ﬂeas and hundred of clerks which.

you farmers are supporting.

In closing I will submit the fol-
lowing statement. If '15 per cent

THE FARMER IS NOT A QUITTER
no class of
people who have not been aﬂected
' by price declines during the past
year, and that there should be more
or less dissatisfaction is natural. But,
the farmers, who suffered most,
have shown the least inclination to
“lay down” on their jobs. While
other classes have struck and pro-
tested, thefarmers as a class have
gritted their teeth and gone to work
to raise another bumper crop this
year. They may have made some
wry faces over the bitter dose of last
year’s results, but they have never
for one moment considered going on
strike. There were many predic-
tions last fall that the farmers would
drastically reduce their acrage this
year, but Iobelieve these predictions
will prove untrue. There will be
some decrease, of. course, but noth-
ing nearly so great as has been
prophesied in some quarters.

There are several reasons why the
farmer has no intention of going out
of business. One of these is that
the cost of production is getting

back to normal. and it ‘was high pro-

duction costs, which accounted for
much of his loss last~ year. Then
there is a chanceof the foreign mar-
kets opening up and a prospect of
better prices through co-operative
marketing. And better still. not a

'few of, those largely responsible for

the-enormities of the Cummins—Esch
railroad «law are coming to a realiza¥
tion of the fact that railroad rates
must come down‘ and are evincing
a disposition to, join in bringing
about the necessary changes in that
law to insure reduction in rates. The
farmer never loses sight of the fact
that he is producing necessities, 'not

luxuries. . During times of , ﬁnancial
. stringency people may cut out .many
items from their monthly budget,

enough to stand by the term bureau
for a few years we can dispose of at
least ”one commission man with one
or more clerks for every additional
clerk employed by our F. B. at Lans-
ing and not only that, but we may
also be able to market our products
systematically in the near future.
We may also be able to get a few
cents more out of the consumer’s
dollar, which, according to govern-
ment reports is about 36 cents. 'In
Denmark where everything the farm-
ers raise is marketed .in a co-oper-
ative way the producer gets 68 cents
out of the consumer’s dollar.

Senator Ladd of North Dakota
says, "The American farmer can do
much to improve his condition thrn
co—operation and he is now ready as
never before to act in concert with
all in' his class.” How would we
ever get able to act in concert with
all farmers having such an organi-
zation as the Farm Bureaul—T-heo.
Bengel, Clinton County.

That's good stuff, Theo., right from the
shoulder. And every word of it is true.
Sure, the Farm Bureau has made some
mistakes; It made 'one ﬂagrant one
right at the start which the Business
Farmer told the farmers about, but that
has all been ironed out now. Of course,
it hasn't accomplished yet what it in-
tends to accomplish because it hasp't had
the time. C'oncede all that has been said
against the Farm Bureau by its enem-
ies; add to it all its errors of judgement;
call the wool pool a. complete fiasco in-
stead of a brilliant success if you want
to and add that to the pile. and the debit
will look like an ant hill compared to
the mountain of things to its credit, Un-
fortunately. you cannot estimate in cold
cash the enormous indirect beneﬁts which
farmers receive because of the mere ex-
istence of their farm organizations. If
co-dpcrative associations never earned a
penny for their members, they would
still be worth the price because the fact
of their existence makes selling prices
better and buying prices lower. You can-
not gct around that fact no matter how
hard you try. The Farm Bureau a fail-
ure? If it is we don’t know the mean-
ing of success.———Editor.

 

but the item of food always remains.
Until the people quite eating, the
average farmer is not going to quit
the farm because of an occasional
crop failure or a slump in prices.
But there is still another reason
why the grain belt farmers have
stuck to their farms—a reason that

' is as much a. credit to their patriot-~

ism as the above reason are to their
common sense. This reason was
pretty well expressed by C. Q.
Chandler, of the First National Bank
of Wichita, Kansas, recently in an
address before the Rotarians. He
said:

"It is a good thing for America. that the
slump in prices struck the producers of
The cattle man
and the farmer suffered from price de-
ﬂation first and hardest. The farmer is
complaining, and justly so, but he is not
organizing any Bolshevik plan to over-
throw the government because he has
lost a lot of money. The farmer and the
cattle man are too good citizens for that.
And that is why it is 3. 00d thing that
deﬂation hit us in the Mi dle West first.”

Without admitting that any other
class would have tried to overthrow
the government had they been the
ﬁrst to feel the full force of price
declines, I do agree with the banker
above quoted that the producers of
the grain belt were the safest citi-
zens on Whom the blow could have
fallen. The farmers as a class are
too good citizens to revolt because
of injustice, or to quite their work
in a pique when they do not get a
square deal. They are not indiffer-
ent to injustice, by any means, but
they realize that economic injustices
should be removed in an orderly way,

.and they have lately come to realize

that they must do the job themselv-
es through co-operation, econom-
ically and politically, instead of de-
depending upon the promises of

politicians. But meantime, it is their

task to. feed the world and they are

not going to shirk that responsibilty.

NOXIOUS W EEDS

HAT IS the use of trying to

use pure seed when the coun—
‘ try is overrun with noxious
weeds. I suggested to the local Farm
Bureau that they draft a bill and
submit it to the legislature empow-
ering the Farm Bureau, in each
county to take charge of eradicating
noxious weeds, and also to have
power to enter any warehouse, car
or other storeroom and condemn
any hay found there containing foul
or noxious weeds. Many men care
nothing about noxious weeds on
their farms. Unless some measure
of this kind is adopted we will go
on paying for high prices for select-
ed seed to no avail.—-—Layton Taylor,
Isabella county, Mich. '

 

Noxious weeds cost the farmers a lot *

of money every year. The absentee
land-owner is the worst offender. Our
present laws would be effective if prop-
erly enforced. The Farm Bureau could
do a lot in ridding the state of noxious
weeds by carrying on a campaign of ed-

ucation for a few years, but I doubt if ,

the state would give it any such author-
ity as you suggest. That authority
could only be exerted through a regular-
ly elected or appointed oﬂ‘icial.——-Editor.

The last war showed us all how
horrible warfare may become; the
poison gas, liquid fire and aerial
bombing of the innocents to say
nothing of the inhuman treatment
suffered by prisoners in the prison
camps. _.Will you do your share
toward stopping forever more this

horror which still hangs a black
cloud over the civilization of the
world? Then there is the other

side also to be much desired—re-
duction of taxes. Read the follow-
ing carefully and then write to your
congressman in Washington.

“Plans to organize the women of
America and crystalize their ex-
pressed sentiment for reduction of
armament into an effective nation-
wide meeting were launched in
Washington on May 25, when the
Committee on Reduction of Arma-
ment by International Agreement,
appointed by the National League
of Women Voters at its annual con-
vention in Cleveland, held its initial
conference.

“All parts of the country were
represented by prominent women.
The committee of sixteen appointed
by Miss Hauser, chairman of the
committee, have returned home to
begin immediate organization of wo-
men where there is no club nor
group which can express their senti-
ments.

“An especial effort will be made
to organize the women living in the
rural districts and on farms. The
sentiment and opinion of these we-
men, who in most cases belong to no
clubs, has been heard only in indi-
vidual expression of opinion and
women generally are learning that
effective action can be secured only
by united efforts.

"The B‘orah Amendment, which
passed the senate the same day that
the committee on Reduction of Arm-
aments met in ‘Washington, has stim-
ulated the women to push their
work with greater activity and a
resolution urging world-wide co-op-
eration of women for this principle
was unanimously adopted by the
committee. Leading women in for-
eign countries will be asked to or-
ganize the women of their nation
and both here and abroad a system-
atic campaign of education will be
carried on concerning armament and
its cost.

“There is a constantly increasing
burden of taxation on the people of
all countries to meet the military
and naval programs of their govern-
ments. It is a question in which wo~
men‘have as vital an interest as
men; We want to give women the
facts; we want to present the truth
to-them and let them form their own
opinions, then let them write their
representatives in congress and
parliament. Senators and congress-
men have told us they want to know
the sentiment of their constituents.
Let the women of_America and of
foreign countries inform themselves
‘of the present cost and future plans
of their governments toward arma-
ment. Then as citizens they have
the right to express their honest
opinions and convictions to those who
represent them."

S’l‘. JOSEPH’S HOME FOR
CHILDREN

S ONE OF the finest bits of phil-

anthropy existant in this state. A
__ very attractive and bright-eyed
little lady was telling me about the
home this week and one could plain-
ly see her heart and soul are in the
work. Last year they cared for 1,-
156 children and supervised 923 in
adoption homes. They will place
children permanently for adoption
or place them in homes for a speci-
ﬁed time, paying their board if nec-
essary. If a man loses his wife and

THE EGG CROP

HE U. S. Department of Agricul-

ture has taken up in all serious-

ness the egg crop and is send-.
ing out some valuable suggestions
regarding its handling. I will pub-
lish a few excerpts from the bulletin

Marketing the Egg Crop

When it is estimated that the an-
nual production of poultry and eggs
in the United States is in excess of
$600,000,000—equa‘l to the value of
the hay or wheat crop———and when it
is estimated that there is a total loss
of nearly '8 per cent of the eggs
marketed, the. importance of this
subject is evident. ,

This great, loss is due'largely ’to
improper handling betweenthe farm
and the market. Many farmers
look upon eggs as a by—product, and
thereturns as so much clear. gain.

' How to Cure Blackheads '

Thls'is one of the most common of.
complexion evils. In the majority
of cases, it is found that constipation
is at the root of the trouble. In such 7
instances, care as "to the digestibility
of food should be observed; a saline
enema is excellent. Attempt to re-
move the cause, then use local treat-
ment. Steam the face until skin _is
quite soft, or use a good cold cream
freely every night, rubbing" thor-
oughly into the face until the flesh
is well softened, then remove the
blackheads, after which apply " a
prepared facial‘ astringent ‘ 'or bathe '
the face in cold Water to close the
pores. Persevere in this treatment
and the blackheads will disappear.

I hopeall of you- boys and girls
will‘read. It is about club work in

:V'G‘en‘esee county and I am sure you

. will read it. with , interest whether

- you: belong to a ”club or not.

7 When I was small, and attended
‘theI-county school there were no
clubs like these, nor did we have any
studies on agriculture among our
lessons. ' All we learned regarding
farming we had to learn at home,
and,- as the parents of many of the
boys and. girls barely knew enough
about farming to make a living
.many of the children grew discour-

”. aged and decided to go to the city

when they grew up where they _bO~
lieved they could make more money
and, live better. Now the country
schools teach agriculture andkeep

, the children interested “in’ ‘that busi-

ness. The boys’ and girls' clubs go
still farther. .. You are taughtwhile
you are actually doing the work and
to make the work more interesting
prizes are offered to the ones who
are the most successful.” Then the
winner-s attend the agricultural col-
lege for a week .. during the summer
and learn more there. This plan
does not keep all members interest-
ed in the work as only the leading
ones receive prizes or have a good
time. In Genesee county they have
a plan whereby all members have a
good time together when the work
is over. Read about it and then talk
to your county club leader about it.

OUR B0¥S AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Nedz—I am a little girl 10
years old and in 'the 5th grade at school.
} am _in a sewing club called the “Will-
ng Workers." I will tell you about the
work. We have 21 girls as members and
make dresses, aprons, middle blouses.
bloomers, pajamas, princess slips and all
kinds of dresses. For my winter work I

made a. kimona, night dress, a. pair of
bloomers and an aprbn with ties. We
have club meetings with lunches and
frankfurter roasts in the woods and

marshmallow ‘roasts and each one takes
something tereat and we have a great
time. We have very long faces after we
have made French seams in the gar-
ments and have to rip them out again.
They have a boys' club too called the
‘Handicraft Club," which makes step
ladders, library tables, medicine cases,
milk stools, hall trees, chests of all kinds.
bread boards. necktie racks, and almost
everything. Then we have the “Canning
Club" of the girls in the summer months.

canned 140 jars of different kinds of
ruit, meat. chicken and vegetables and
ickles. .We enjoy the club very much.
iss Robb and Mr. Turner, the state
club leaders were at the Hemlock school
recentlyfor our club exhibit. We put all
our, garments and manual training work
on exhibit and had them marked. Several
prizes Were given us. Saturday was the
winding up day of club work and We all
went to Saginaw to have our pictures
taken. ‘I like the club work so much I
can hardly wait for the berries to start
to ripen. I have a sister in the club
work in the second year. I am in the
ﬁrst year. .I wish all the boys and girls
would join the club and learn to sew,
can, and raise pigs, poultry, calves, beans

corn," potatoes and popcorn.—Bernesten

Dear Uncle Ned:-——I hope you will get
~over and give me enough room for my
letter. I will write about a trip I took
Christmas, .with my two cousins. We
went to Iron River, Michigan. *We left
home on the four o'clock train Saturday.
Mytbiggsister came to the depot with us.

. 7 CHILDREN: Weill-re pub- ‘ We rode on the‘same train until we got
lishing a-story onpage 4 that I

On the Way there we pass-
ed many clearlngs. One was called Perch
and -we saw children sliding down hill.
We also passed where we were above the
telegraph poles and other places where
the poles were above us. When we ar-
rived at Nasstora. we had to change and
waited for a long time until our train
came._ Before the train came we went
out and"'looked around but it was dark
and we could not see much. We then
went back to the depot and when our
train came along we started to get
on and didn’t know which car to get on
and went into the smoking can but a man
told us to go through into the next car.
We had to change trains again at Chan-
ny. This train was very nice. When
We reached Iron River We could see all
over as there are electric lights there.
Two of my cousins and another boy met
us at'the depot. We went to a show. We
stayed in Iron River for three days and
then went out to our relatwes’ farm,
about 15 miles from there. We had a

to Nasstora. .

.very good time and on Christmas we ate

cand . peanuts and apples until we were
nearly sick. Coming back we left Iron
River early in the morning and came by
way of Channy. It was noon when we
reached there and we saw a part of the
town. We wtre there quite awhile and
got weighed. I weighed 85 pounds. Last
Sunday I got weighed again and I found
that I weighed 87 pounds. When our
train came I was very glad to get on as
I was anxious to see my Sisters, brother
and parents. I had a letter and a jew-
elry bag from Eathel Fay Sharp for
Christmas. Hope some of the girls an

boys will write to me.—-'Your M. B. F.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have just been
reading some interesting letters in the
Children's Hour., The boy who wrote
the elf story must have a great deal of
imagination. We had a ﬁeld day at our
school this week. In the state of New
York everyone above the Sixth grade
and through the high school has had to
take these physical ability tests. The
tests for the girls were a 50 yard dash,
volley ball serve and basketball ball tar
throw. We had to throw the basket
ball with only one hand. I was given a
basketball for my birthday and we have
lots of fun with it. We play the follow-
ing game at school most of the time.
Two people choose sides and one side

. tries to get the ball away from the oth—

The side that has it passes it back
and forth. It is good practice in throw-
ing and catching the ball. I think it
would be very nice if Harry Vernon’s
sister would send her poem to the Child-
ren's Hour. I am a member of the Vic-
tory Class. It is a class of Sunday
school girls from eleven to fourteen years
of age. Yesterday morning we went on
a May Walk and cooked our breakfast
outdoors. It was the ﬁrst time most of
us had ever had the experience of cu‘k—
ing bacon, eggs and coffee over. a real
campfire. Do you boys and girls have
gardens of your own? We have a fairly
large garden and lots of strawberries.
Sincerely yours—Margaret C. Hoxton,

oil in a tightly enclosed gear case. Friction and wear
are practically eliminated.

Any windmill which does not have the gears runningin oilisonly
half oiled. A modern windmill. like a modern automobile, must have
its gears enclosed and run in oil. Dry gears, exposed to dust, wear rapidly. .

BE PAST week has seen a de-

' dded improvement in connec-

"tion with the general industrial
activity and in all lines of retail
trade; department stores report a
satisfactory business during the
months. The last mentioned fact
- leans rather remarkable inasmuch
as it is well known that stores of
this grade are holding prices to
higher average levels than any oth-
er lines of retail trade. Midsum-
ma dullness has made its appear-
ance, rather early this year, in Job-
bing and wholesale lines but dealers
and their country repremntatives are
looking for an early opening in these

The textile and leather goods in-

that have recently cut prices and
many of them have already added to
the number of their employes.

The railroad situation seems to be
still somewhat badly mixed from the
standpoint of both wage and freight
reductions. From what the general
public had read in the newspaper
reports concerning the necewty for
acutinthewagesofrailroadem-
ployes, the impression had become
quite widespread that a cut in the
helm rates would immediately fol-
low the cut in wages; it has been
recently given out, however, by an-
thoritive sources in Washington,
that no general reduction in freight
rates can be made until the net op?-
erating incomes of the railroads of
the country equal 5 1-2 per cent of
their appraised value which for the

of rate making was placed
at $18,900,000,000.

A 5 1-2 per cent income on the
above amount would exceed one bil-
lion dollars; to earn this amount.
annually, the raihoads of the coun-
try would need to yield a net operat-
ing income of more than $87,500.-
000 per month. Railroad earnings.

The Chicago wheat market closed
bullish Saturday of last week. The
weather conditions were bearish ear-
lyand bullish later, a hot wave be-
ing predicted for this week, which
was regarded as unfavorable for
both winter wheat and oats, as they
are in the ﬁlling stage in many sec-
tions. Net gains on wheat were 2
1- 3@5 1- 4c.

Export business is good and many
dealers believe larger than most
people know. They say those in-
timately connected with the business
attempt to keep new business secret
in order to hold prices down. Cables
from Liverpool said buying from
England was not tobe expected for
a week owing to the millers’ confer-
ence In progress there.

The Detroit market closed the
week with the opposite tone domin-
ating and prices dropped. Early in
the week prices advanced 2 cents
but this gal; and 1 cent more was
lost Saturday.

On Monday of the present week
the Detroit market was bullish and
prices advanced. At Chicago the
trend was the opposite and prices
drop 8 cents. The weakness at
Chicago is believed to be only ten-
porary.

Corn prices were oil! 1-2@1c early
last Saturday at Chicago, with trad-
ing against the bids. In the last
hour they advanced, so that buying
against offers became active, July
sold from 61 1-3 to 64 3-80. There
was also active covering by shorts
in July and buying of September and
selling of July and vice versa, which
advanced the July to even with Sep-
tember. Country oﬂerings were
lighter and cash trade was slow. The
week’s receipts at primary markets
were the largest at this time in

The Detroit market closed the
week quiet and prices followed those

LIVE STOCK MARKET

The cattle trade had rather of a
rocky time of it, last week, but the
prices for steers and handy killing
cattle ﬁrmed up toward the close and
the ﬁnish was level with that of
last week. The top price, paid for
both mature steers and yearlings,
was $9. Last week’s receipts were
16,500 larger than these of the
week before which included. only
ﬁve market days; they were 14,000
larger than for the
week, last year.

It' is a system devised. en-
either

vantage and greater proﬁt.

When a farmer wants a loan, he
usually applies through his local
charges a
email fee of $5 or $10, but. if he is
able to make out his papers prop-
erly he can make his application di-
rect. As a rule, however, the board

prefers to place the loan through the

local bank, which is held responsible
for“ the handling of e money and
seeing that it is properly expended
for the purposes indicated in the
application. '

The system is so simple and effec-
tive .that if papers are made out
properly and there is no question in
regard to the title, it is possible to
make a loan in twenty-four hours,
but usually it requires a period of
about thirty days. 'No local farm
loan associations are required as in
the Federal Loan plan, and no guar-
antee of payment is demanded ex-
cept ﬁrst mortgage.

‘ The elimination of this cumber-
some feature is a big advantage.
Farm loan associations made up of
local farmers all jointly responsible
for any default of payment is copied
from European system's. Such a
plan is better suited to conditions
where the farmers have small hold-
ings and live closely together. Eur-
opean farmers, also, are more ac-
customed to form numerous small
organizations, but in this country
the farms are larger and each farm-
er 3 more independent, and as a
rule does not like the idea of guar-
anteeing his neighbor's obligations.
It is something of a hardship to form
these local loan associations and
very often farmers, rather than go to
all this necessary trouble, are apt
to get along as best they can with-
out the loan. By eliminating this
feature and loaning to the individu-
al farmer direct,_ the South Dakota
system is. a long step in advance of

all others based on the farm loan ‘

association plan. .

The Rural Credit Board of South
Dakota may loan to farmers up to
70 per cent of the value of their land
and 40 per cent of the insured value
of the improvements, provided the
improvements do not exceed 50 per
cent of the value of the land and do
notrexceed a total of $5,000; and
provided, further, that the amount
called for is not greater than $10,000
and'does not exceed the average as-
sessed valuation of the land for the
"three preceding years. Where the
loan is less than $10,000, a reap-
praisement may be permitted at the

. discretion of the Board .and such

additional loans may. be made as
the reappraisal may warrant.

.The- borrower has the option of
payingall orv'any part of the loan
“to: five years, but when a loan is
made'on a certain piece of land, it
stands there until the mortgage is
«excelled by payment. If the farm
changes hands the purchaser must
assume the obligation and keep up
the payments. In case his inability
to pay is finally evident, the policy
of the Board input to foreclose the
snort-gaze but rather help the man
sell out to someone'better able to
slums the obligation. In case of
ﬁtness, drought or other misfor-
tune, the Board shows every consid-
csﬂon possible. allowing ampla
be but cursing 8 percent mm.
ed on defaulted payments until
made good. But upto date there
has been very little trouble in this
connection.

the state Ttreasury; In short, . it
handles its own affairs and is un-
hampered by being tied up by other
institutions of the state. The inde-
pendence with which it operates
adds greatly to its effectiveness. This
immense farm loan business is band-

led in a conservative, businesslike
manner which avoids assuming
doubtful risks. ‘As a precaution

against loaning money on worthless
land, there are three inspectors who
pass ﬁnal judgment before loans are

placed in sections where there is any . .

doubt. .
Payment of the Loan

The method of repaying a loan is
unique and is known as the amort—
ization plan. Coming from Euro-
pean countries, it is but natural that
rural credit systems should be en-
cumbered by some objectionable

features and the word amortization

is one. On close examination it is
not dangerous when applied to debt.

The ﬁrst letter, “a," apparently
means, ”to,” and the remaining part
of the word comes from “mort,”
meaning death. Applied literally,

then, it means killing the'debt. ,The

end of this debt comes very gradu-
ally and by the South Dakota plan is
fully accomplished at the end of
thirty years. A small payment is
made annually in addition to the in-
terest; which is exactly enough to
clean up the loan in that length of
time.

In borrowing money at six per
cent by this plan the farmer pays
$7.26 annually for each $100, or
fraction thereof. Six dollars are
paid for interest and $1.26 applied
on the principal, leaving $98.74 un-
paid. The principal becoming less
annually reduces the amount of in-
terest and allows a greater payment
on the principal each year. When
ﬁfteen annual payments of $7.26
have been made, the principal is re—
duced to $70.55. The amount of
interest is $4.41 and the amount ap—
plied on the principal is $2.86. Up
to this point the payment on the
principal has been rather small, but
during the last fifteen years the per-
iod the principal is reduced more
rapidly. The thirtieth year it will
be noticed that $6.85 will be applied
on the principal with only $0.41 for
interest.

A Few Advantages

The farmers of South Dakota,
through their Rural Credit Board,
borrow money on their farms at a
greatly reduced rate of interest, and
by paying a small amount additional
each year cancel their debt in thirty
years. The annual payment at pres-
ent rates amount to 7.26 per cent on
a simple interest basis, which is

much less than former rates in the.

state before the rural credit law was
passed; and. in fact, less than is
paid at present on short time loans.

The payment of loans by this sys-
tem is so gradual that farmers are
afforded a sure foundation. With
any reasonable success in farming
they need not fear foreclosure. Then
can assume other necessary obliga-
tions, make more permanent im-
provements and formulate
plans with- greater assurance of the
future. With this gradual payment
of the mortgage debt, local banks
are glad to make short-time loans
with only a second mortgage as se-
curity or on the farmer’s own per-
sonal credit. The system stabilizes
ﬁnancial matters in general for the
farmer and is proving a great factor

in developing the agriculture ’of the

state. In view of the present break—
down of the Federal Loan System, it
is highly important that every state
“should have a rural credit system
of its own, and no better example

. canhe found than. the one already in

a considerable .sum of meney son‘-

county of the state the farm boys
and girls should not get together at
the fair grounds for a week or two
of healthful recreation and study,
under the proper guidance of older
people. We believe that an annual
outing of this kind, having a useful
purpose back of it, would be of im-
measurable .value inmaking boys
and girls more contented with the
.rural environment.

CARE' on CHICKS non JUNE
( Continued from page 4)
'soon- follows in the wake. It chicks
are 0 be artiﬁcially hovered in
brooders or under hens, keep them
not too warm nor too cold;

During the ﬁrst week of the
chicks life see to it that the temper-
ature under the hover stands at 100
degrees at all times both night and
day. We realize how hard it is to
maintain this temperature for dur~
ing the day the air of the room as
well as out of doors may reach 90
degrees. The doors and the wind—
.ows of the house may be thrown
open but the temperature under the
hover should be such that the chick
may ﬁnd a temperature that will be
normal to and for them.

If the chicks are to be reared by
hens. do not let the hen out of her
coop until the dew is entirely off.
No matter what the temperature is.
the hen is the hover, her body heat
reaches the 100 degrees and a little
better. .

If the chicks crave warmth, they
should ﬁnd it whether under a com-
mercial hover or under a hen. Next
comes the food and water problem.
During the ﬁrst week of the chicks
life follow the schedule mentioned
in the M. B. F. of recent issue.

Great care should be exercised in
looking after the drinking vessels
that supply the drink for the chicks.
Discard any drinking fountains that
will not permit the hand to enter to
wash and keep in sanitary-
tion. Keep the drinking water in
the shade. Keep fresh water before
the growing chicks at all times, ,

When June is ushered in and if

of age, separate the sex. Market all
cockerels. Take the pullets in their
colony house to the range. The
qualities of an ideal range are as
Hillside; (supplying succu-
lent grass), trees or shrubbery (for
shade), meadow (for plenty of in-
sect life), running stream (for wa—
ter supply), close prOximity to the
other farm buildings (for conveni-
ence of management and watchful
care.)——C. H. Burgess, Prof. Poul-
-try Husbandry, M. A. C.

COW FEED FROM SAWDUST NOW

Dry weather is essential for the

moisture control possible in that

unexcelled for alfalfa as a hay crop.

Despite the. report that Michigan
farmers were going to quit growing
beans because of the present price
depression. the demand for certiﬁed
beans has been exceedingly active.
Indications show that the cold
weather late this spring did not do
much amaze, says the seed depart-

ROM THE day the ﬁrst issue of The

Michigan Business Farmer went to press,

we have been, with your help, trying to
encourage, promote, and demand BETTER
MARKETS AND BETTER MARKETING
FOR THE FARMERS’ PRODUCT-S!

In that way only, we have repeated over
and over, can the producerhope to get his fair
share of the consumer’s dollar. Today, all
are agreed on this point and many indeed are
the worthy agencies which .are’working out
these selling problems-for the individual de-
partments of the farming business.

Grain Growers, Live Stock Markets, '

Wool Pools, Fruit Growers, all working
towards one end———THAT THE PRODUC-
ER SET THE PRICE ON WHAT HE
SELLS! ' ’

‘» STAND BY THESE MARKETING OR-
GANIZATIONS LIKE MEN! y Remember
the whole farming business, which means
YOUR PROFITS FROM THE CROPS YOU
ARE NOW WORKING SO HARD TO PRO-
DUCE, is right now at Armageddon, you lose
or you win exactly as you stand by the men
and the institutions which are standing for
you.

seeks to loosen your faith in the men or the
methods of your organizations—ninety-
nine out of every hundred you can bet were
started by PAID UNDERSTUDIES of the
old marketing gang, who are ﬁghting, just
as the old saloon interests fought, to protect
their fat necks and save their pocket-books!

this IS the day! If you stand fear-square, de-

mand your rights, turn a deaf ear to lies, mar- ,
: ket your crops as your organizationadvises,

read, think and thus mix a little brain-work
with your hand-work—————1 921 WILL BE THE,
DAWN OF A NEW ERA FOR THE FARM-

: ING BUSINESS!

The licking we took last fall when the
manipulators pulled the bottom out of the
markets, will be the most proﬁtable in history

. and the farmer will be the one who laughs

last!
* * * : _*

You and I may haVe agreed in past years

and past monthsthat the farmers of Michigan

needed this weekly to protect their business - f
and their interests———- -

——but I will tell yOu frankly today that
I am ﬁrmly convinced that this weekly will
mean more to YOU during the next six
months, than it has in all the years it has
been serving you! .

There 1s not a phase of the farming bus-

iness movements which we will not boil down * ‘

into few words so you can read it even if you
have only a little time in the evening or ,
Sunday.

No matter how many other papers you

receive, nOne will cover the business end of
your business like The Busmess Farmer——

«watch it and see if this is not true!

Two months ago, you and I might have
had good reason for being down-hearted, but
right now I Can see a glow inthe east'of better
times for the business farmers of Michigan,
which 1s going to rival the ﬁnest sun-riSe that
ever cast its revitalizing rays over our won-
derful state!---George M. Slocum, Publisher.
