VFRENCH CROP CONDITIONS
‘ POOR

CCORDING to seemingly au-
thentic information the wheat
crop of France has not suffer-
ed as much from the drought. as
.._;was at first supposed. The follow-
j-ing communication, dated August
, 17th, throws some light on the crop
Leituation in France. It was receiv-
' téd in reply to an inquiry sent by the

  
 
   
  
    
   
   
  
  
   
 
   
  
 
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
 
   
  
 
  
   
 
   
  

BUSINESS FARMER to the American
.~ ‘lC-onsulate at Paris:
“As far as wheat is concerned,

. this being nearly all winter sown,
; [little if any damage has been done,
[and the French government states
that the crop will be excellent both
5 in regard to quality and quantity.
1 The same remark applies to rye and
‘epelt which are also sown in the
fall. Oats are reported as very
' poor both in the head and the straw.
'_While barley will only give a medi-
um crop. Both of these are sown in
the spring and the drought prevent-
ed their proper development. Po—
‘V'tgatoes are also poor, and the hay
Crop was very much under the
normal. In respect to the latter, the
iFrench usually expect to gather a
,second crop in September, but the
drought ‘lII/lllOSt parts of the coun-
._ try, will render this an impossibil-
; ‘ :lty. The forage crop as a whole has
.' Buffered badly, and the situation is
:.sufficiently serious to induce the
7 -government to prohibit the exporta-
,( Jtion Of oil-cake in which a consid—
erable business used to be carried
on." Ernest L. Ives, American
Consul in charge.

BEET HARVEST TO START SOON
ARVESTING of Michigan beets
is about, to start. The acre-
age in Michigan is somewhat
' under last year’s acreage, and the
total crop will probably fall short
of 1920. A writer in Facts About
Sugar puts the total U. S. beet pi’o—
duction at slightly over the 1920
yield, but others declare that it will
be less. A good many Michigan beet
fields are badly affected by a blight
which has turned the leaves brown

 

 

 

 

 

 

and checked the growth of the root.
The yield per acre, it is declared
will be below last year’s.

Foreign beet sugar prospects are
not good, the drought in central
Europe having hindered the growth
of the plants. The extent of the
damage will not be known, however
until harvesting is completed and
slicing well begun.

From present indications there is
little likelihood that farmers will
receive more than the guaranteed
price of $6 per ton.

FARM BUREAU SEEKS PRICE
COMPARISON

OMPARISON of prices that the

farmer paid for his necessities

and what he got for his crops
and farm products during the years
of 1913 to 1921 are sought by the
American Farm Bureau Federation
in a price survey questionnaire which
the State Farm Bureau sent out to
every county farm bureau in the
state September 28. Comparative
tinformation obtained will be pre-
sented before the Joint Congression—
al Commission of Agricultural In-
quiry which is now investigating the
condition of the farmers’ business
and what is responsible for it being
in its present state.

The questionnaire seeks from 10-
cal authorities the price paid and re—
ceived 'for representative commodi-
ties on March 1 and November 1 of
each year as a key to general condi-
tions in Michigan throughout those
years and to show Where the farm-
er was standing at that time_ The
county farm bureaus are asked to
ascertain the price paid by the farm-
er for food, clothing, household fur-
nishing, production equipment
feeds, seeds, fertilizer and spray ma-
terial, fuel and lighting. On the
other hand the questionnaire would
have correct information on the price
received by the farmer for various
farm crops and products throughout
the same period, for the purpose of

 

comparison and presentation before
the Commission at Washington.
Every county farm bureau in the
nation is working on the price sur-
vey questionnaire in response to a
request from the Agricultural Com-
mission to the American Farm Bur-
eau Federation for assistance of that

nature. The

BEAN ADVICE '

HE BUSINESS FARMER can do a

lot to steady the bean business

‘ during the coming year. We
think it is about time the farmers
and dealers work more cLosely to-
gether. There is nothing to war-
rant lower‘ prices on this season‘s
crop of beans if they are handled
judiciously. The suggestion I make
is that your paper advise the farm-
ers not to put their beans on the
market at once but to sell them a
few at a time. This would make
much better markets, better de—
mand, and 1a better average price to
to the farmers for the year.

We have no more than enough
beans to go round this year in this
country, but we cannot expect to
market six months‘ supply in two
months’ time. Furthermore beans
are going to pick more this year
than for some time. This should
help steady the market. With co-
operation on the part of your paper,
the farmers and the dealers we
should be able to right matters.—

sociation, per F. G. Ferrin, Sec’y.

ROCQUEFORT CHEESE MADE IN
UNITED STATES

Almost the entire world's supply
of. Roquefort cheese comes from Av-
eyon, a department or county in
southern France. It is made prin-
cipally of sheep’s milk, and ripened
in caves. The steady demand in
this country for the green—mold va-
rieties of cheese, especially Roque-
fort, has led specialists in the Dairy
Division of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture to experi—
ment with the commercial manufact-
ure of a domestic Roquefort cheese.
As it would be impossible to obtain
a sufficient supply of suitable sheep’s
milk, cows’ milk has been used. The
chief effect is to give the cheese a
slightly yellower color. The tem-
perature, humidity and peculiar
ventilation of the Roquefort caves
which are favorable to mold growth
and proper ripening of the cheese,
have been approximated at Grove
City, Pat, in special curing rooms.
Considerable cows’ milk Roquefort
cheese of good quality has been pro-
duced and marketed, from this ex-
perimental plant. ”The Nights”

Michigan Crops Made Big Gains in September

Beans, Potatoes, Corn and Sugar Beets all Show Material Improvement Over Previous Month

HE IDEAL weather of September was

worth several million dollars to the
~farmers of Michigan. It improved potato
prospects by at least ﬁfteen per cent, insured
full maturity to the state’s second largest
corn crop, ﬁlled out the bean pods, increased
both the size and migar content of the sugar
beet, and gave fall-som1 wheat and rye an ex-
cellent start towards winter.

Such is the encouraging substance of re-
ports received from the Business Farmers’
corps of crop reporters throughout the state.
The improved condition is not conﬁned to any
particular section, but seems to apply to every
county, in varying degrees. Only one county,
and that in the southern tier, reports late
yields as below expectations. Most of the re-
ports breathe the same good news and opti—
misrn reflected in the following report from

our Arenac county correspondent:
“Beans going to market fast.

mated at 340,000 acres. Sept. lst it was esti-
mated the yield would be 65 bus. per acre or
about 22 million busier the state. It appears
that the average yield will be higher than this
Digging is in progress in most counties and
while some yields as low as 50 bushels to the
acre are reported, there are others which run
as high as 150 bushels. If the other com-
mercial potato states beneﬁtted as largely as
Michigan from the September weather, the
U. S. crop will probably be. somewhat higher
than the Sept. 1st estimate of 323 million
bushels.

Late beans have just about all been pulled
and threshing is in progress throughout the
bean growing districts. Yields reported run
from eight to twenty~ﬁve bushels to the acre.

As With potatoes, the early planted beans
were poor, but, the late planted crop is turn-
ing out somewhat better than average. Some

beans are being marketed direct from the ma-

is being

chine, but a considerable quantity
behaved

held for higher prices, which it is
will materialize before another crop.

The corn crop is by far the ﬁnest ever pro-
duced in Michigan and will be second in size
only to last year’s. In every county in the
state the crop has fully ripened and husking
has begun.

The condition of. sugar beets is fair to
good, but considerably spotted. In Shia-
wassce and adjoining counties some complaint
has been heard of :1 leaf blight which has
caused some damage. In general, however,
while the acreage is less the yield per acre
will be about up to last year’s. Some pulling
is in progress but in some Sections the crop
will be left in the ground as long as the mild
weather stays with us in hopes that it may
be “sweetened up” a bit more.

Most beneﬁcial results of ﬁne weather con-
ditions in September are seen in the large
amount of plowing which was
done and the rapid growth of

European Drought Stimulates Demand for American Dairy Products

NE Oli‘ the effects of the European

drought was to destroy pastures and
reduce the milk supply in the ﬁnest dairying
districts of France and England. As a con-
sequence Europe is again a large purchaser
of American dairy products. Exports of
condensed milk which had dropped from 25
million pounds in August of last year to 10
million in May of the current year, arose again
to over 30 million pounds the past August. The
thing that contributed most to the stagnation
in the dairy business was the accumulation of
manufactured dairy products as a result of the
stoppage of export business. Now that Eu-
rope has used her surplus supplies and drought
has cut short her current supplies, we may
well expect a steady revival in export busi-
ness and a consequent stimulation in domestic
trade and prices.

Other interesting export news 18 given in a.
report by E. G. Montgomery, chief foodstuffs
division of the Department of Commerce, in
the Commerce Reports for September. Chief
among these items is that pertaining to the
movement of wheat, about which Mr. Mont-
gomery says:

“The total wheat exports from the United States.
including flour as wheat, exceeded 66,000,000 bush-
els in August. 1921, as compared with 32,000,000
bushels exported in August of last year. The high-
est previous record for one month was made in

/

1920 when 43,000,000 bushels were exported in
()ctobe1. A total of 9(5,ooo.ooo bushels experted
since July 1 is nearly o11e~l121lf the estimated ex-
DOI‘tIlble surplus available from the new crop. This

ume, is more remarkable when it is considered
that the expmts of Argentina have been less in
ltl’l than in 19"() ), although Aigenliua is (*2'11rving
a rarhci huge suxplus, awoxding to otlicial 1eports.
It is probable that the ability of the United States

to finance the business is a large factor in this
trade.
“The exports of corn, including corn meal as

corn, which established a record export of over
15,000,000 bushels in July reached almost l4.000,000
in August, compared with 1,292.015 bushels in
August, 1920. The average pro—war shipments for
August were usually between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000
bushels.

Exports of Meat, Milk, and Dried Fruits

“Meat and meat products exports still continue in
relatively large Volume, the total exports for August
b-ing about three times the experts for August,
1 20, and are about twice the pre—war exports.
Lard, bacon, hams, and shoulders make up the bulk
of theSe exports.

“Dried fruits are moving well in the export
market as compared with last year, while canned
fruits show practically no change.

“The export value of agricultural products for the
first time this year equals or exceeds the export
value for the corresponding month last year. While
the total volume of exports has been larger. the
value from January to May was little more than
half the total value for the same period of 1920.
However, the increased volume of exports which
began in May this year has resulted in a total ex-
port trade in agricultural products actually ex—
ceeding in value the exports for August, 1920,
though the average price is‘only about half as
much.”

Republicans Denounce Fordney Tariff Bill

Declare American Valuation Plan if Adopted Will Destroy Foreign Trade

EADING Republican merchants and news-

papers are up in arms against certain
sections of the Fordney tariff bill, claiming
that its adoption in its present form. will ab-
solutely prohibit the importation of foreign-
made goods and destroy our foreign markets
for our surplus crops. An appeal has been
sent out to the farm press by the Chicago As-
sociation of Commerce urging it to (go—operate
to bring about the defeat of the bill. Among
the outstanding Republican papers which
have voiced their opposition to the Fordney
bill are the Chicago Tribune and the New
York Journal of Commerce.

’The principal objection to the bill is based
0n the “American Valuation Plan” which
provides for the levying of duties based “up—
on the wholesale selling price at which domes-
tic merchandise is sold in the principal mar—
kets of the l’nited States,” instead of upon
the foreign purchase price as has always been
the case in the past.

For instance. as pointed out
the Chicago Tribune:

“Under the present system, say. an item in
laces is imported costing $1 in the country of
origin. There is. say, a duty of 60 per cent and
transportation costs of 20 per cent. The im-
ported article goes on sale at the same price.
giving 4‘5 cents for handling and profits. Thus
things are equalized. They remain on a com—
petitive basis; this has a salutary effect on
pr1ces.

“Under the Fordney bill’s proposal, however.
it would work out, like this. The customs ot‘f'i-
cials would put the American valuation of $2.25
on the imported article. A duty of 42 per cent
would be figured on this amounting to 94 1—2

cents. Transportation charges of 20 cents would
run the cost of the imported article at the time
of unloading up to $214 1-2.

“The margin for handling and profits is so
small that it is prophesied the importer would
stop importing; foreign competition would van-
ish; up prices would shoot. Also by shovmg up
his prices. the American manufacturer would be
able to increase automatically the amount of
duty, because the rate is figured on American
value. He could advance his article from $2.25
to $2.50. This would make the customs on the
imported article $1.05 instead of 04 1—2 cents.

Held. Blow at: Farmers
"l‘hose who are opposing this kind of taritt-

by a writer in

making while i-eatlirming their faith in a, pro-
tectivoitaritl'. allege that: the .ltlordney bill
would shut off foreign imports and leave the
American consumer at the mercy of the
American manut'acturer. They argue that
adoption of the bill would at once increase
the. cost of living to a large extent. But the

direst. effects, they declare, will fall upon the

American farmer, for

“America is primarily an agricultural nation.
Our farmers and our crops lie at the. basis 'of
our prosperity. Our manufacturing industries

 

Watch for These Features

1. Co-operation in Norway and Den-
mark. The editor‘s travel stories will soon
bring him to the land where co-operation
was first cradled,—Dcnmark. He will in-
troduce the reader to the leaders of the co-
operative movement and take him through
the great establishments owned by farmers
for the finishing and marketing of their
products. These stories will be particularly
interesting because they will not. be based
on hearsay, but that the editor actually saw
himself.

2. The Consolidated School.
tion has aroused much interest and some
opposition among farm folks. In co-oper-
ation with the Superintendent of Public In-
struction we will shortly begin the publi-
cation of. a series of articles on this ques-
tion. These will be different than any oth-
er articles you have read along this line be-
cause they will take you right into the con-
solidated schools of Michigan and Show you
what they are doing.

3. Sunflowers for Silage. More, in-
formation about a crop which promises to

‘ take the place of corn in many instances as

America Wants Fair Tariff
The source of the opposition to the Fordney

bill is of singular weight and importance be-
cause it comes from men of Mr. Fordney’s
own political party and Who are committed to
a “protective” tariff. “The American peo-
ple” say these men, “want and expect a fair
protective tariff to be passed by Congress, en-
abling all industries to pay a fair wage com-
mensurate with our standards of living. But.
there is as great danger in a tariff too high as
too low. *‘* * it A just tariff is not only the
life of trade but a protection for all the peo-
ple. An excessive tariff which will obstruct
our foreign trade and hinder prosperity, 110w-
ever, will keep factories closed and people out
of work”.

_ The American farmer is asked to oppose the
Fordney bill upon the grounds above stated.
The matter is one of extreme importance to all
farmers and they should lose no time in get-
ting in communication with their senators and
congressman.

Farmers Borrow Through U.
S. Finance Corporation

HE WAR Finance Corporation has an—

. nounced further details regarding the
loan of $15,000,000 which the Corporation

has agreed to make to cooperative, associations
of grain dealers in Minnesota and South and
North Dakota.

The association is the Equity Cooperative

Exchange, a cooperative corporation with
gross assets of approximately $4,000,000,

which markets, on a cooperative
produced by its members.
The loan will be secured by registered ter-

basis, grain

minal warehouse receipts representing the
grain to be marketed, and will be in an

amount up to 60 per cent of the value of the
gain. The Exchange will agree to maintain
this margin until the lien is repaid.

The funds advanced by the \Var Finance
Corporation to the Exchange will be used by
it in making corresponding advances to its
members. After the grain is marketed by
the ltlxchange, the, proceeds will be devoted,
first towards repayment of the War Finance
(diorporation's loan, the balance being, pro-
rated among the farmer—members of the Ex-
tnange in proportion to the amount of grain
supplied by them.

The money will be advanced from time to
time as the grain treaehes terminal ware-
houses and all advances will mature not. later
than ninety days from the date of the ad "ance
and will be discounted at the rate of Six and
one half per cent per annum.

A Visit to Dalmeny Estate

During my stay in Edinburgh I was given
quarters at the, home of a Congregational min-
ister who kept a sort of boarding house for a
number of students in attendance at a local
theological college. One ﬁne evening the
reverend gentleman and his wife took me as
their guests on a. bus tour which took in. some
of the outlying districts around the city. The

roads in Scotland, as indeed all parts of
Great Britain, are from good to excellent

though exceedingly narrow. It is

Scotch singer, quite frankly dis

plain that they were never construct-

biles are few and far between. One
reason is the high price of imported
cars. a lt‘ord which sells in this
country for $450 being priced at
over $1,000 in Scotland. Another
reason is the high cost, of gasoline.

Scottish Agriculture

It was my intention while in
Edinburgh to visit some of the
nearby rural districts and learn something

of Scottish methods of agriculture. This I
was not permitted to do, however, to any ex-
tent owing to the limited time at my disposal.
Moreover, I learned that there were no typi-
cal farms within driving distance of the city,
most, of the immediate outlying lands being
devoted to golf links or large country estates,
or the soil being too poor to raise crops prof-
itably. The only “farm” which I visited was
really not a farm at all, but a country estate
comprising several thousand acres, belonging
to the Earl of Rosebery. Of my visit to this
place I shall speak later.

From an organization standpoint Scottish
agriculture is way behind the times. One of
the reasons for this is the comparatively small
number of people engaged in farming. The
total area. of Scotland, including the Orkney
Islands, the Shetland Islands and the He—
bridcs is only 29 million acres or about one-

The soil of the lowlands in the southern and

crops as wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes,

abundance.

The co-opc‘ative movement in Scotland so
far as it affects farmers is of comparative re—
cent origin, but I was told by the Secretary
of the Scottish Agricultural Organization
Society that the farmers are taking a great
interest in co-opcrative enterprise and that

Farmers Tell of Results Obtained Through Use of Better Sires

FARMER who keeps accurate tab on

the beneﬁcial effects which result from
the use of better sires as a, rule ultimately ex~
tends his improvement campaign to include
the purchase of better cows, sows, or ewes.
At least this is what has happened on 3,200
farms in the United States where purebred
sires are used.

The results obtained in the “Better Sires—
Bettcr Stock” driVe of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, cooperating with
the States, show that the cattleman who pur-
chases a purebred bull ﬁnally acquires on an
average 7 purebred cows besides the grade
cows which he keeps in his herd. In the case
of swine and sheep, for every purebred male
used there are about 8 purebred females, while
in the case of poultry the proportion is 1 to 13.
For horses the ‘atio is not so large,

larger animals, including cattle, horses. swine,
sheep and goats, a. total of 150,832 animals
have been enrolled by 3,243 owners. Of this
number 8,021 consist of purebred males and
30,213 are pedigreed females, while the bal—
ance consist of grade crossbred, and scrub fe—
males. A total of 238,122 chickens. turkeys,
geese. ducks, and guinea fowls haVe also been
enrolled. Of this number 12,346 are purebred
males. 150149 are purebred females, and the
remainder are poultry of grade, crossbred,
and scrub or n'iongrcl parentage,

urges. “Ascrub can not, be expected to produce
growihy and typy progeny.”

A Pennsylvania, dairyman who is a member of
a co»operativc bull association states in a letter
to the department. “I have been a member of
the Grove (‘ity Holstein—Friesian Bull Associa—
tion for 3 years and believe that membership in
such an organization is one of the best invest—
ments a small breeder can make. I do not be-
lieve I would ever have started raising pure-bred

stock had I not joined this association. I now
own 3 purebred females and sold one bull calf
for enough to almost pay for all my interest, in
the club.“ “l’se purebred stock. at least pure-
bred sires.” is the comment of a stockinan who
adds. “lusep less stock, give them better care,
and make twice as much money."

Developments in the lwttcr—sires movement
provide figures of relative number

 

being 1 to 2, yet the principle of
securing purebred dams to go with
purebred sires still holds true.
At, this time more than 3,250
live stock owners are co—operating
with the State Agricultural Col-
lege and with the United States
Department of Agriculture in a
country-wide campaign to improve
the quality of domestic live stock
by the use of good purebred sires.

Noozak was a thoughtful old mother of a bear who had reared ﬁfteen
or eighteen families in her time and she traveled very little this ﬁrst day
in order that Neewa’s tender feet might toughen up a bit. They scarcely
left the fen. except to go into a nearby clump of trees where Noozak used
her claws to shred a spruce that they might get at the juice and slimy
substance just under the bark. Neewa liked this dessert after their
feast of roots and bulbs. and tried to claw open a tree on his own account.

zak lay down for a nap. while Neewa. wandering about in quest of an
adventure of his own, came face to face with a ferocious bug.

The creature was a giant wood—beetle two inches long. Its two bat—
tling pincers were jet, black. and curved like hooks of iron. It was a rich
brown in colour and in the sunlight its metalic armour shown in a daz—
zling splendour. Neewa. squatted flat on his belly. eyed it with a swiftly
beating heart. The beetle, was not more than a. foot away, and advancing!
That was the curious and rather shocking part of it. It, was the ﬁrst living

could neither buzz nor click. A great exultation swept through Neewa.
Inch by inch he drew his paw in until the beetle was within reach of his
sharp little teeth. Then he smelled of him.

That was (“hegawasse‘s opportunity. The pincers closed and Noozak's
slumbers were disturbed by a sudden bawl of agony. When she raised
her head Neewa was rolling about as if in a ﬁt. He was scratching and

him over and saw ("hegawasse ﬁrmly and determ-inedly attached to her

began to feel the pleasing warmth of the red thing
and in spite of his nervousness he began to purr
in the glow of it. From red the sun turned swift-

once more into a warm and pulsating glory of
life.

he had only weighed twelve ounces
at birth.

From the day when Noozak set
off on her wandering trek Neewa’s
real adventures began. In the dark
and mysterious caverns of the for—
ests there were places where the
snow still lay unsoftened by the
sun, and for two days Neewa yearn-
ed and whined for the sunlit valley.
They passed the Waterfall, where
Neewa looked for the ﬁrst time on
a rushing torrent of water. Deeper
and darker and gloomier grew the
forest Noozak was penetrating. In
this forest Neewa received his ﬁrst
lessons in hunting. Noozak was now
well in the “bottoms” between the
Jackson’s Knee and Shamattawa
waterway divides, a great hunting
ground for bears in the early spring.
When awake she was tireless in her
quest for food, and was constantly
digging in the earth, or turning over
stones and tearing rotting logs and
stumps into pieces. The little gray
wood mice were her piece de re-
sistance. small as they were, and it
amazed Neewa to see how quick his
clumsy old mother could be when
one of these little creatures was re-
vealed. There were times when N00-
zak captured a whole family be-
fore they could escape. And to
these were added frogs and toads
still partly somnambulent; many
ants. curled up as it dead, in the
heart of rotting logs; and occasion-
al bumble-bees, wasps, and hornets
Now and then Neewa took a nibble
at these things. On the third day
Noozak uncovered a solid mass of
hibernating vinegar ants as large
as a man’s two ﬁsts, and frozen
solid. Neewa ate a quantity of
these. and the sweet, vinegary flav—
our of them was delicious to his pal-
ate.

As the days progressed. and
living things began to crawl out
from under logs and rocks, Neewa
discovered the thrill and excite-
ment of hunting on his own account
He encountered a second beetle, and
killed it. He killed his ﬁrst wood—
mouse. Swiftly there were devel-
oping in him instincts of Soominitik.
his scrap—loving old fataher, who
lived three or four valleys to the
north of their own, and who never
missed an opportunity to get in a
tight. At four months of age, which
was late in May, Neewa was eating
many things that would have killed
most, cubs of his age, and there
wasn’t a yellow streak in him from
the tip of his saucy little nose to
the end of his stubby tail. He
weighed nine pounds at this date
and was as black as a tar-baby.

It was early in June that the ex-
citing event occurred which brought
about the beginning of the big
change in Neewa’s life, and it was
on a day so warm and mellow with
sunshine that Noozak started in
right after dinner to take her at-
ternoon nap. They were out of the
lower timber country now. and were
in a valley through which a shallow
stream wriggled and twisted around
white sand-bars and between peb-
bly shores. Neewa was sleepless.
He had less desire than ever to
waste a glorious afternoon in nap-
ping. With his little round eyes he
looked out on a wonderful world.
and found it calling to him. He
looked at his mother, and whined.
Experience told him that she was
dead to the world for hours to come
unless he tickled her foot or nipped
her ear, and then she would only
rouse herself enough to growl at
him. He was tired of that. He
yearned for something more excit-
ing, and with his mind suddenly
made up he set off [in quest of ad»
venture.

In that big world of green and
golden colours he was a little black
ball nearly as wide as he was long.
He went down to the creek, and
looked back. He could still see
his mother. Then his feet paddled
in the soft white sand of a long
bar that edged the shore, and he
forgot Noozak. He went to the end
of the bar, and turned up on the

"green shore where the young grass

was like velvet under his paws
Here he began turning over small
stones for ants. He chased a

ious race with him for twenty sec—

onds. A little later a huge snow-
shoe rabbit got up almost under his
nose, and he chased that until in a
dozen long leaps Wapoos disappear—
ed in a thicket. Neewa wrinkled
up his nose and emitted a squeaky
snarl. Never had Soominitik’s blood
run so riotously within him. He
wanted to get hold of something
For the ﬁrst time in his life he was
yearning for a scrap. He was like
a small boy who the day after
Christmas has a pair of boxing
gloves and no opponent. He sat
down and looked about him quer»

ulously. still wrinkling his nose and ,

snarling deﬁantly. He had the
whole world beaten. He knew that.
Everything was afraid of his mother.
Everything was afraid of him. It
was disgusting—this lack of some-
thing alive for an ambitious young
fellow to ﬁght. After all the World
was rather tame.

He set off at a new angle, came
around the edge of a huge rock, and
suddenly stopped.

From behind the other end of the
rock protruded a huge hind paw
‘F‘or a few moments Neewa sat still
eying it with a, growing anticipation
This time he would give his mother
a nip that would waken her for
good! He would rouse her to the
beauty and the opportunities of
this day if there was any rouse in
him! So he advanced slowly and
cautiously. picked out a nice bart
spot on the paw, and sank his little
teeth in it to the gums.

There followed a roar that shook
the earth. Now it. happened that

like the grandmotherly peculiarit-
ies of old Noozak. Makoos was on
his feet fairly before Neewa real-
ized that he had made a mistake. He
was not only an old bear and a very
grouchy bear, but he was also a
hater of cubs. More than once in
his day he had committed the crime
of canibalisni. He was what the
Indian hunter calls uchan-a bad
bear, an eater of his own kind, and
the instant his enraged eyes caught
sight of Neewa he let out another

INFRINGEMENT ON PATENT

If A invents a farm implement and
has it patented has B the right to make
one for his own use? If not what is
the penalty if he does?—~A. M. R., La—

I believe the making for personal
use would be an infringement. The
damage would be the profit the own—
er of the patent would have made
had the infringer bought a manu-

amount of royalty he would collect.

PORTRAiIT COMPANY

ESPITE repeated warnings that
have been published in these
columns against the Chicago
Portrait Company the Collection
Box continues to receive innumer-
able complaints from people whc
have patronized them and got hit.
During the past thirty days agents
of this company have been working
in Gladwin and Arenac counties.
Their popular method of getting
“orders” is described in the follow-
ing letter from one of our subscrib-
ers:

CHICAGO

“Some time ago some agents repre-
senting the Chicago Portrait ("o., came

through here stating that they were giv-
ing free tickets in a thousand and if you
drew one you were to get a picture en—
larged free. My wife drew a lucky
number, of course, the Same as everyone
else. The agent requesting her to show
him two pictures which she did, he gave
her a credit voucher for $15 telling her
that as she had drawn a lucky number
it would not cost her anything to have
the pictures enlarged and handed her a
paper to sign which he said was a re—
ceipt to ShOW that she had drawn the
lucky number. She signed the paper and
he took the pictures and left. After he
had gone she discovered that instead of
signing a receipt she had signed a con—
tract to pay them $30 for enlarging two
pictures. What I would like to know is
can they make us pay this, and if there
isn’t any law which will take hold of
this kind of a company and their agents
and put a stop to their working in this
state and if there isn't it is about time
we have one to take care of such fei—
lows. We wrote the company the same
day and told them to cancel the order
which they refused to do. Am enclos-
ing copy of contract and the letter.”
The letter from the company is

a printed circular which it finds

necessary to send out to thousands
of its victims who try to cancel the
order after they have woke up. It
reads thus:

There is no truth in the statement
that Henry Ford expects to hold a

are idle gossip regarding Mr. Ford
and his activities and are not «mew.

“Replying to your request to counter-
mand your order in connection with which
you were fortunate in receiving the ad—
vantage of a special price for advertis—
ing purposes.

“We have found by long experience
that we cannot undertake to locate and
cancel an order among the thousands
that we receive daily. As a rule, before
we can locate a particular order, the
artist has completed his work on it, For
that reason our contract order blank
provides and plainly states: ‘it is under—
stood that this order cannot be counter-
manded.’ ‘

“We employ the most experienced
artists, use only the best materials and
our portraits are, therefore, the best that
can be produced.

“‘Kindly be prepared to accept any pay
for the order when it is delivered. As
your order was not taken subject to
countermand, we cannot cancel it.”

Every time the BUSINESS FARMER
learns of such shvyster concerns
sending their agents about the coun-
try hoodwinking the farmers we see
red and threaten d'ire things against
them. We agree that there ought
to be a way to put these fellows out
of business, and on several occasions
we have taken the matter up with
the Attorney General. Our last ad-
vice from him was as follows:

“It would appear to me from what you
state that these are proper cases to be
referred to the local prosecuting attor—
neys in the various counties where the
representatives of the company are op—
rating as it would seem that the general
law of the state relative to false mis—
representation aud pretense would be
sufficient if properly enforced to limit the
activities of such agents.

“In any case where the orders and
photographs were obtained from parties
under fraudulent representation and
pretense it would be a legal defense to
any action brought to recover upon the
order that the same was obtained thru
fraud and false representation.”

The BUSINESS FABMEB believes in
the inviolability of the contract, but
it does not believe in respecting a
contract that is obtained through
fraud and misrepresentation. Our
advice to our subscribers whohave
been deceived in the manner above
described is to borrow the ugliest
bulldog you can find. Let him go
hungry for a day or two before you

expect the agent to deliver your
picture, and when he comes into
the gate turn the dog loose. Of

course you won’t be responsible for
what the dog does. Then if the com-
pany threatens to sue you to collect
on the contract, let them sue. They
will never be able to collect if you
can show the order was obtained
through misrepresentation.

FENCE OVER LINE

I‘Vill you please give me some advice
regarding the fence line. A neighbor of
ours has put Up a fence 2 and a half feet

onto our land for about; 50 yards.

Is he allowed to p t up barb wire?

Please answer thi in the M. B. .—
Bellville, Michigan.

In rebuilding a line fence it muts
be placed on the old line and your
neighbor would not have the right
to place it an inch beyond the line.
I do not know of any statutory law
that would prevent the use of barb-
ed wire in a line fence but the
courts hold that one has not the
right to place dangerous appliances
where it may cause damage to oth-
er's property. Should your praper-

ty be damaged by reason of the
barbed wire I think you would be
entitled to damage to such an

amount as you could prove from the
one who constructs or maintains
such a fence—Legal Editor.

IVORMS IN SOIL ABOUT HOUSE
PLANTS
Whabean be done to kill little white
worms in the dirt around house plants?
They seem to breed little flies which
are, thick around the dirt in the winter.
v—D, E, Chippewa County. Michigan.

All soil used for house plants
would be much safer if it received
a heat treatment before being used
to pot plants. In this way many
ground infesting insects would be
exterminated before the soil is used.
This can be done by placing soil in
a shallow pan and putting it in a
hot oven, submitting to heat for
half an hour or more. Of course
this would apply only in a small way.
After the soil has been placed about
the plants or untreated soil, insects
may be exterminated by using tobac-
co water. Tobacco waste should be
allowed to steep for an hour or so
«and then applied. .If allowed to
steep longer, most of the nicotine
escapes and the killing quality of the
liquid is reduced—Eugenia McDan-
iel, Research Assistant in Entomol-
ogy, M. A. C.

years ago one of the men gave his share
away and since has filled with another
machine. Last year the company’s ma~
chine, needed repairing and the other
members notified him but he did not ap—

appear at the meeting so the rest of
them went ahead and had it repaired.
Has he any right to the filler? He will

not pay his Share of repair l)ill.—C. W..
Shultz, Michigan.

In the absence of any agreement
or by-laws of the company governing
the subject of repairs I would be of
the opinion that one of the owners
of the company would not lose his
title by non—payment of a repair bill.
The company might have given se-
curity on the machine for the re-
pair bill for which it might have
been sold and his interest in the ma-
chine been divested by such sale.
He would still own his interest un-
til lawfully divested.——Legal Editor.

allows the production of this standard
machine at such- an unprecedented price.
There’s no mystery in this plan. It is
simply a case of big business—standard-
ized, quantity-production and national
distribution.

The production of a good, medium-size
tractor so reasonably priced that every
farmer could afford to buy it—that was
the big Vision of the men who ﬁrst con-
ceived the Whitney plan. They organ—
ized a $5,000,000 corporation to ﬁnance
the undertaking. They worked out a

manufacturing costs to a minimum.

And they have succeeded in producing this
standard, time-tried tractor to sell ata price
as low as the cost of a good team of
horses! This is the story of the new—
price Whitney tractor.

And the prsce is all that is new. It in
the same sturdy, reliable Whitney that
has given such wonderful satisfaction on
hundreds of farms the past five years.

A staunch, slow-speed machine with power
a-plenty for any farm power job.

New Price December lst

The new Whitney price will be announced December 1. You can bank on a big surprise!
The Whitney is lowering the price on this popular machine to a point where, once
you know this dependable outﬁt, you’ll sav, “NOW I’ll buy a tractor.”

gate the Whitney. The attached coupon will bring you the complete facts on this

THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FAI‘RMER

PARADICHLOROBENZENE FOR
THE PEACH TREE BORER
HE FINDING of a prospective
treatment for the peach tree
borer to take the place of the old

practice of digging out the borers

in the spring or fall is awakening

much interest among the growers 01

this famous Michigan fruit.

If paradichlorobenzene does What
is claimed for it, it will not only
somewhat lessen the amount of la-
bor required to keep the peach bor—
er down, but it Wil also greatly re-
duce the danger of carrying disease
infection from one tree to another.
during this tedious operation. The
substance in question appears as
crystals, something like ordinary
granulated sugar, but with an odor
that is quite disagreeable and rather
unpleasant. It has the property of
vaporizing directly from the crystals
at ordinary temperatures and the
vapor which is given off freely at
about 80 degrees Fah. is_five times
heavier than air. When some of
the material is buried in a shallow
trench its vapors penetrate and per-
meate the soil round about for some
distance. This vapor is, fortunate—
ly, poisonous to insects and in ordi—
ary doses it does not injure peach
trees that. have reached the age of
six years. Sometimes younger trees
may be successfully treated but not
with the same assurance as in the
case of older trees, because the
younger trees do not seem to stand
the treatment well.

The tree is prepared for the appli—
cation of this material by the re.-
moval of the grass and breaking the
crust of the soil. No deep stirring
should be attempted. This cleared

space need not extend more than
six inches in each direction about
the tree.

If borers are working above th;
soil level it will be necessary tr
heap the soil up over their tunnels
as only the ones beneath the ring of
chemical will be affected. Then
sprinkle an ounce of the crystals in
a narrow ring around the tree at a
distance of half an inch or an inch
from the trunk. A few shovelfuls
of soil should then be spread over
the crystals and patted down with
the, shovel. In order for the gas to
penetrate freely and to accomplish
its purpose the soil should be dry
and porous. Furthermore the cry»
stuls will not vaporize at all well un-
til] the temperature becomes at least
64) degrees Fab. or above.

The limo of application seems to
be somewhat a matter of opinion as

yet. The New Jersey Station rec—
ommends that the application be
made the last week in August or at
any rate before September 10. Ap-
plications made in June and July

are very successful in killing the
summer brood but it is possible for
borers to gain entrance in the soil
after the gas has dissipated. It is
furthermore, not recommended, as
yet to apply more than one treat—
ment during a. season because of the
possibility of causing too great a
strain on the vigor of the tree. and

October 8, 1.921 ‘

in the case of very young stock, the
material should be pulled away from
the tree a few weeks after the ap-
plication is made in order to~avoid
injury.

In conclusion it appears to the
writer that the use of this material
is still something of an experiment
although pretty fairly uniform re-
sults have been obtained in most
cases when used against the pea-ch
borer. When carefully applied it
seems to be pretty fairly safe and
effective. However, we will be
more sure of the results after a
year or two of further experience

AGRICULTURAL GYPSUM AND
THE POTATO

T IS well known that the potato

uses a very considerable amount

of sulphur and that gypsum sup-
plies this material. It has been es—
timated that potatoes consume about
twice as much sulphur as phos-
phorus.

Gypsum and other sulphur sourc-
es are found to be very valuable in
connection with potatoes. Pro-
fessor Jacob Lipman, director of the
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station, states that he is getting
very large increases in the yields of
potatoes from the use of sulphur on
them. He is applying the sulphur
in the hill and finds that it pre-
vents scab. lncidentally the {sul-
phur is giving these increased yields
because it, supplies the needed food
to the plant. The horticulturist at
the Oregon Experiment Station said
he noticed the same effect upon the
potato. Larger potatoes and bet-
ter tubers resulted from the use of
sulphur.

Now, of course, gypsum supplies
sulphur in another form, in fact, in
an immediately available form. Dr.
Lipman states that he gets similar
excellent results from the use of
sulphur materials on tomatoes. This
plant belongs to the same family as
the potato. Tobacco, also a mem-
ber of the same family, has been
shown to be greatly benefitted by
sulphur materials. It is possible
that this whole family, all members
of the nightshade family, are high
sulphur users and would be bene—
fitted by gypsum.

In many potato regions it is cus—
tomary to roll the cut potatoes in
gypsum before planting. They say
out potatoes thus treated can be
kept for days without great injury.
When they are planted in the soil.
of course, the gypsum would be
handy for absorption by the roots
and will benefit the potato by sup-
plying sulphur.—Dr. William Crock—
er.

DISCONTENTED AN’ EV'RYTHIN’
TOOK A little trip out in the
I country a short time ago jest

'cause I wanted a little chang!
of air an’ a big change of diet an‘
I went out to my daughter’s——0ut
to the farm where we had a real
chicken dinner an’ vegetables out of
the earth an’ fruit off’n the trees an’
milk an‘ butter from real cows an’
bread made by hand an’ pies baked
in a stove with real fruit fer fillin’
Aeyes an’ we picked mushrooms an'
had fish caught out of the lake an'
eggs jest newly laid——I tell you I
had a real 01’ time an’ it wuz quiet
out there. an’ peaceful an’ I could
think of God an’ life an’ see the
beautiful sunshine an’ a lot of
nature's work—it wuz grand an'
glorious an’ I enjoyed it to the lim»
it—» while it lasted.

An’ now I am back
with all it’s noise an’
dirt where it seems God never
comes. an’ where avarice an’ greed
an’ graft is the all predominatin’
thing 311’ where men an’ women are
the only parts of the machines that

in the city
smoke an'

 

run an‘ make noise an’ confusion
an’ dollars fer the ones that own
’em

But it ain’t ’hout the city I want
to write but ’bout conditions as I
found ’em out in the green coun-
try with all its health an’ happiness
—it’s hard work an’ small profits—
it’s ample fields an’ beautiful woods
~its lakes full of fish an’ swamps
full of rabbits. Oh. I git to ramb—
lin’ in a. kinda foolish way when I
think of the country an’ all its
pleasures ’cause you see I wuz born
there an’ lived my happiest years'
there an‘ I love it today more than
ever before in all my life.

But out there. where all is so
peaceful, I found a good deal of dis-
content—prices oﬂ farm products
are low—ground hard to work an’
talk of high wages in the city has
reached out there an’ farmers——
young farmers ’specially—are long-
in‘ to git away from the farms and
into the factories where, as it seems
to them, life is just one sweet song.

Now I know what the hard work
means an’ is on the farm—J have
done it—commenced when I wuz
small an’ kept at it for a good many
years. I know what low prices
means to young fellers an’ their wiv-
es, who are jest startin’ in the bus—
iness; I know of the depriva‘tions an’
the longin’ fer better things. that
come to many of them an’ I know
how the stories of big wages an’
easy times in the cities excites the
fancy an’ how the young folks git
to thinking that farm life is dull
cheerless and unprofitable—and I’ll
admit that jest at present, it is dis—
couragin’. But I also know some—
thin’ about conditions in the city at

the present time an’ I know that
even young farmers in debt, though
they may be overworked an’ every—
thing, still have it all over the Vina—
jority of the fellers of sim’lar age
an’ conditions in the city.

Most of the farmers, in fact all of
'em have their livin’ grown or grow—
in’ on the farm. They can live well
an’ have plenty an’ its good an’
wholesome food. They have a house
to live in an’ no landlord comin’
round every week or month an’
pounding ’em up fer rent. They
have their work 'an’ their prospects
an’ ain’t afraid that some feller is
comin’ along to take their job—the
tharder they work the more they
make an' they are workin‘ now fer
small pay too. But my dear young
friends out on farms. you are bet—
ter off Where you are than you
could possibly be in any city or in
any factory at the present time.

If you doubt my word jest come
an’ go with me an’ I'll show you
hundreds of men right here who
have had no work at all in weeks an‘
some of ’em in months. I’ll show
you families that're jest simply ex—
istin’—livin’ from hand to mouth——
nothin’ in reserve. no coal for win—
ter, no job, no prospects of any an’
no nothin’——they’re simply waitin’
an’ they don’t know what. fer? I’ll
show you men who now have good
jobs and yet are worried because
they expect to lose ’em any day. One
is not sure of anything in the city
Ha cog in the most insignificant
wheel is a piece of machinery is no
more insignificant than the ordin—
ary worker in any large factory——
thinks he is indispensable let him
step out an’ see how quickly his
place will be taken by any one of
a hundred men who are lookin’ fer
any kind of- a job—wages have
been cut an’ will be out again an‘
again an’ folks will have the hard-
est kind of a time to pull through

this winter that has ever been
known.
An’ so let me say‘ to you again.

my dear young farmer friendsswl
know things don’t look very rosy to
you jest now but, on are better off
by far than most any of the young
men of your age, here in the city.
an’ Battle Creek is better off, so far
as unemployment goes, than almost
any city in the state.

As to the manufacturers an’ bus-
iness men with capital—well, that’s
a diff’rent story an’ requires an—
other chapter.

Stay on the farms boys jest a little
longer, join the Farm Bureau an’
things have got, to turn in your fay»
or soon. I believe this or I wouldn't
say it to you. Cordially yoursk

Time to Make a Change
I llE COMING unnual inccting of the

_ i\lichigiin Milk l’roduccrs’ Ass’n, which
will be hcld :it. 1.110 M. A. (3. October lSih,
will be :in important one in many rcspccls.
‘ Lust yczu‘ at His time the producers were
still muting war—limo prices; the Dctroit
(‘ommission was functioning us well :is it cvcr
functioncd; condcnsurics were still running
and paying fair priccs for milk. Farmers
wci-c gcncrully satisfied that they were faring
us wcll us could be cxpccicd. and their officers
were content to let thcm believe so.

Since thcn everything has changed. The
Commission rcfuscd long since to be dictated
to by the distributors and quit; the condon-
sarics are closed or running part time; prices
are way down below cost of production; and
dissatisfaction abounds on all sides.

(lommon sciiSo tells us that no state organ-
ization of farmers could have maintained
prices at their lcvcl of a year ago. The
causcs which brought about thcir dccllnc wcrc
intcrmiiionzil in thcir scope and ii’itcrnationul
in ihcir cffccis. But the blow might have been
cushioncd. it is noicworihy ilizit in localities
whcrc farincrs wcrc cngugcd in the actual
sclling of their dairy products priCe dcclincs
wore not. so drastic as clscwhcrc. A plaus~
ible explanation for this lies in the fact that
many distributing compunics having a mon-
opoly of thcir ficld took advantage of tho
world—wide dcflzition to unduly depress the
pricc to the farmers, who, fziccd with tho
couipctition of othcr farmcrs outside thcir
nrcu. wcro powcrloss to rcsist. Moreover. the
profits of manufacturing and selling have
helped mutcrinlly to reimburse farmers cn-
gngcd in those activities for their losses sus-
taincd in the production cud.

As it was in Michigan however, the sud—
den drop in prices found the producers’ as—
sociations wholly unpreparcd with not a sin-
gle plant in existence to take care of surplus,
with not a single dollar invcstcd in rccciving
stations, with not a single weapon of dcfcnsc
against those who controllcd the farmcrs’
markets.

The Business Farmer takes no pleasure in
criticizing the policies of those who have
guidcd the Michigan Milk Producers’ Ass’n.
It rccognizes that it is something of an achiev-
mcnt to create an organization of 19,000 mem-
bers. It is also an achievement to build a
bridge, but what a monumental waste of time
and labor if it is never to be used!

The rcasorx why the Michigan Milk Pro-
ducers’ Ass’n has accomplished so little of
permanent value for its membership is be-
cause its leaders lack the vision and courage
necessary to blazing new trails. They prefer
the beaten track even if it does lead right
back to the spot where it begins. They are

able enough men. They could if they would

THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER

make the Michigan Milk Producers’ Ass’n the
most successful dairy marketing organizatiou
in the United States. And they would and
they will if the 19,000 members stand right
up in meeting and tell them to do so.

We said that everything had changed since
a year ago. But we must Qualify that state-
ment. The policies of the producers’ associa-
tion haven’t changed, and the tactics of the
distributing concerns haven’t changed. The
Association is still at the old army game of
marking time and the distributors are still
taking the same old toll out of producer and
consumer. The. next meeting of the produc-
crs might wcll mark an epoch in the history
of the association if thc mcmbcrs would only
insist on the adoption of some new policies
which will put ihcm in control of Tho Detroit
situation and take into considcraiion the wel-
fare of the farmcrs outside of the Dctroit
area at the same timc. The opportunity
comes October 18th. How many producers
will be prcpm'cd to seize it?

Fall Thoughts

ihcsa cvcnings, with the lcavcs rustling about

the skurrying of tiny fcct to hiddcn dons,
turns your thoughts to cvcnings before the
fire. to apples. doughnuts jcllics. pancakes,
sausagcs, maplc syrup. and such things.
There’s a dcal of contcni'mcnt in the thought,
too. Wintcr has its compcnsziiions. It savcs

Crops and Prosperity

MOST fullucious theory is that huge crops

on: a suro indcx of prospcrity. The
ihcory is correct only whcn our surplus crops
can all be sold abroad. During the war it
sccmcd as if we could not producc cnough to
satisfy the 'insatinblc dcmnnds of Europe, and
a large surplus was movcd as l“21(llly us a
small one. But during normal iimcs. as cx—
pcricnce has provcn. :1 small surplus ovcr the
total of both domestic and forcign rcquirc-
incnts, raiscs havoc with the murkct and in
the majority of cuscs returns to thc furnicr
lcss moncy than a. smaller crop.

Thc Tiilcmi'y Digcst rcccntly rcprinicd an
article from the llusincss Enrmcr upon this
subjcct, and in his introduction to the article,
ihc cditor of that, cxccllcnt publication crron—
cously stated that “predictions of bumpcr
crops are being huilcd as a forcrunncr of
prosperity”, clc. The, statcmcnt was incor-
rect in that no bumper crops, aside from corn,
have bccu harvcslcd or are in prospect this
year. All crops are below last year’s, and
with the single exception of corn, all are be-
low the 191549 average. Those who are de-
pendent upon the farmer, and that means all

of us, should rejoice that production has been _

adjusted to the lowered demands, thereby in-
suring a sale for all our crops and a fair
price to the producers. The history of bump.
er crop years should be enough to convince us
that as a general rule bumper crops do not
pay. It is not more coincidence that the
largest crops in each ten—year period have pre-
ceded by one or two years nearly every finan-
cial disturbance in this country.

With Their Backs to the Wall

HE GRAIN trade is on the defensive

and ﬁghting for its very life. .Six
months ago it scoffed at the idea of a farmers’
national grain marketing organization. To
day that organization is a reality and the grain
dealers realize that they are up against the
real thing. Indicative of the alarm in the
grain dcalers’ ranks, is the following state-
ment published in a recent issue of the West
ern Grain Dealers" Journal:

“Without doubt the biggest problem before
the grain dealers of the country is the co-oper-
ative movement being fathered by the U. S.
Irain Growers, Inc. The Grain Dealers National
Association was the author and booster of the
plan to spread propaganda showing the faults
and imprac-ticability of the grain growers plan.
Further consideration will be given to the Grain
Growers scheme at the annual meeting and it is
of utmost importance to the organized grain trade
that propaganda be continued to discredit the
farmers movement.***** Every grain man who
has the interests of. the industry at heart should
give his support to the annual convention so
that its resolutions and its recommendations will
he backed by the largest gathering of. grain men
ever held."

No one knows bcttcr than the farch and
1hc mcn thcy have hired to put across this
marketing plan the obsioclcs that will have to
bc ovcrcomo bcforc the plan will be able to
justify itself. In fact. there arc some doubt-
crsg—among the, farmcrs. But no longcr
among tho groin mcn. Thcy scc in the U. S.
(lru‘n irowcrs' lnc., the possibilities of a
supcrior mcthod of murkctiug grziin. ~And
that is prcciscly the reason thcy are fighting.

Quality in Farm Products
6‘ ARMERS don‘t dcscrvc any sympa—
thy”, said a farmer to too the other
day. “if they would pay some attention to
the quality of their stuff they wouldn’t have
any trouble getting a good price for it”.

\Ve don’t; altogether agree with this senti-
ment, but coming from a mcmbcr of the pro-
fession it deserves some thought and comment.
The only way that a farmer may secure :1
premium price for a quality article is eithcr
by following it to the door of the consumer,
which most of thcm haven’t the timc to do, or
clsc pooling with other quality producers and
selling under a quality brand. But it is folly
for a. farmer to use extra care and cxpcnsc to
produce a high quality article if that article
is to go through the regular channels of trade
and lose its idcnt‘t; among other goods of in-
fcrior quality. Every l'Till man takes a (‘t‘l'<
min pride in doing something a little bcttcr
than his neighbor, but if his painstaking cf-
forts are not recognized and rcturn him no
compensatory rewards, he soon loscs intcrcst.

\Vhen quality products can go dircct from
tho farm to the consumcr without impairment
it will pay the formcr to produce thcin- ’nit
the present methods of mmkcting most farm
products discouragcs quality production, if
indccd, it docs not actually put a prcmium
upon mcdiocrity. Let the furmcrs of Michi-
gzin dcvisc a plan for putting their produce di-
rcctly into the hands of the consumer, and
quality will comc into its own.

 

New Credit for the Farmers

llE STATEMENT recently made in a

number of "farm pupcrs that the farmers
cannot bcncﬁt dircclly from. the \Var ll‘inuncc
Corrmration’s l’iillion-dollur loaning rcsourccs,
is only partly truc. They cannot go as indi-
viduals to the Corporation and borrow mon-
cy. They can go to their bankcr, and if their
security is good, borrow money which he in
turn may secure from the Corporation. But
more important still, every member of a co-
operative marketing association, who can give
crops for collateral, may have access to the
funds of the Corporation. Already some
millions of dollars have been advanced to
western co-operative associations which in
turn have apportioned the money out to their
members. Farmers in this state have not suf-
fered so greatly from lack of credit as their
western brothers, but those whoore having
difficulty borrowing enough to tide thcm over
until they sell their crops, can through their
(co—operative associations, secure relief from the
"War Finance Corporation.

Wht teh

 

 

 

TAXES AND EFFICIENCY
AM A constant reader of the M.

i B. F., and find it always inter—
esting and instructive. I am par~
t'icularly interested at the present

time in the discussion of the coun-
ty nurse proposition.

We had the proposition up in our
county. It has been turned down
so far but of course we will event-
ually have a county nurse because
the dear people do love to be hum-
bugged. I consider it an attempt
to add to the already large number
of parasites living off the people.
Everybody agrees that taxes are ex—
orbitantly high but, few seem to an—
alyze the situation and point out
Where reduction could be made.

I believe there are, many reduc-
tions that could be made without
detriment to the public service. For
instance, why should a county pay
$2,500 to an agricultural society or
a like amount to a county agricu»
tural agent with any more reason
than it, would subsidize a carpenter's
union or a. bricklayer‘s union?

\Vhy should me have a county
agricultural agent to help the Farm
Bureau in its work any more than
we should help the lrange or the
Gleaners or F. 0. id. or any other
organization that might apply. lie
cause we benefi by an action is it
less culpable?

One way to expend public money
is to send public servants to one or

more. conventions during the year
We send our fire chiefs to a fire-
men’s convention: our street com-
missioner to a convention of com—

missioners; our superintendent of
schools to a convention of superin»
rtendents and our commissioner of
schools applied for money to attend
a national educatinal convention.
We are a. long way from the max-
im of Thomas Jefferson that govern-
ment is the best that governs the
least. ,
Thousands of dollars were squan-
dered on roads during 1920 by pay-
ing war time wages to laborers who

wouldn’t work when every dollar
would have gone twice as far this
year. The spectacle of two county

commissioners combining to prevent
the third commissioner from doing
work the people elected him to per
form and the faculty of an agricul»
tural college engaging in a factiona‘
fight. instead of working to advance
the interests of the state and college

are two illustrations of the way
public business is done to excitt
comment.

Every new office we create adds

a booster for the present way of car-
rying on the public business, while
if we legislated a few officers out
of existence we, would get more ef-
ficiency from the rest.

Instead of adding to their satur—
nalia of waste and extravagance.
why not devise some way to get more
efficienCy from the outfit we already
thave. K. S. W., (Tliarlevoix County.

revolution

You've said a mouthful.
you want to do, cause a
among our office—holders? If you keep
on talking like that. you‘ll get somebody
mad at you, and the otticealioldcrs will
organize a union or something. No
doubt about it, though, friend. There
ARE too many holding office, and too
few earning their salaries. lint let's not
abolish the county nurs): lleiiltli comes
first, no matter what it costs. The
county agent, hired at public expense.
should be, and so far :is I know, is thi-
agent of all the fari‘ni-rs of a county re—
gardless of their affiliations. There is
‘no reason why the County agent should
.;be more active in the interests of the
' Farm Bureau than of any other farm or—
; ganization, unless the Farm Bureau pays
for his labor. Some day the taxpayer
lWill be relieved of the expense of. the
county agent, and it will be borne en-
tiely by those who accept his Services.—
Editor.

I CAVEMEN AND BRUTES

l HE RUSSIAN government did
not cause the drought, but it con-
ersses that it misunderstood con—
Distress has come
in human history to many nations,
including the Roman Empire, from
the same cause. When American
farmers read city dailies, they find

The ignorance is not without a
touch of prejudice or spite. Tht
prejudice vanishes when food short—
age threatens, as in war time. The
ignorance will persist and will
oblige farmers to take political and
economic responsibilities that they
would rather leave to others.

An editorial in the Chicago Daily
Tribune of August 30 is not ex-
treme; it is merely an example. The
editorial states that “\Vitliout tlu
city population the farmer would be
plowing with a stick. He would
not have the chilled steel plow. the
reaper, and the threslier. to say
nothing of the tractor. the anionic»
bile, the telephone, the trolley. the
railroad, the gramoplione. books
store clothes. the movie. the news,
paper, or any of those anieliorations
of the mere animal existence which
he enjoys in civilized countries.’
The editorial adds that the city man

includes the inventor. “lie labors
in the sweat of brain and sinew to

produce those useful and life on—
ricliing devices which the farmer
covets, which mitigate liis toil, and

'aise him above the level of the
caveman and brute.”

The credit for complex llly'l’il-
tions is commonly not ewsv to de-
termine. Probably the editor or
the Tribune does not have in mind
any particular city map as the in»
ventor of the automobile. My au-
tomobile suggests a name that has
someplace, in the automobiles his-
tory. and Henry Ford is not a pro-

duct. of the city. The telephone and
the grainophone remind me 0;
Thomas A. Edison. who is not. a city
product. A paper with relations tc
capital derived from McCormick
reapers should know that the inven—
tion of the reaper is credited to two
farmers. father and son. (‘i‘ty men
were not needed to raise Cyrus Mc-

Cormick above the caveman and the
brute or to keep a modern farmer
from plowing with a stick. The

city man is not the only inventor.

The newspaper and the movie are
not great parts of a fill‘lllf~‘l"s life
but. sometimes he reads a book. If

it is by a recent American author. it
can not be by anybody of better

standing than Mark Twain or \\'il~
liani Dean llowells. These were not
products of the city. They are

enough to suggest that the city can

not claim all of literary history
from Homer down. ‘

George \Vasliington and Abra-
ham Lincoln were from farms. Dan-
iel Webster and llenry (‘lay were
from farms. General Grant and
General Lee were from farms. The

sculptors
psalmist

greatest of cmitemporary
was a shepherd, like the
David. The fill'lllel’ has a rightful
share in civilization above more an
inial existence. He will keep it.

In older civilizations. nobility and

ness in which they can engage is
farming. Primarily they are farm»
ers. Kings have pride in their live
stock. in their crops, as George
\Vasliington had in his. Fact, is
against, the Tribune's editorial. Ems
erson, sometimes said to be the
wisest of Americans, has stated it:
“All historic nobility rests on pos-
session and use of land.” American
civilization needs what the farms
er sells; it needs also what. he does
not sell. the farmer himself—Cin-
cinnatus.

li‘iGl‘liES DON’T LIE

0U ASK some questions in the
last issue of the M. R. F. on our
) Jroad discussion which perhaps
you will consider sufficient excuse
for this response. You ask should
the state tax all the people to build
roads in \Vext‘ord county which will
never be used by people living in
other counties. I will answer this
by asking another: Do not the people
in this portion of the state contrib-
ute to the building of roads in all
parts of the state whether they ever
use them or not?
Some one said that figures never
lie but l notice they can be manip-
ulated in such a way as to hide the
truth. You say that \\'exford county

\VISII \VE MIGHT ALL ATTEND
N OCTOBER 24th, in co—ope‘z—
0 tion with the lonnecticut
League of XVomen Voters, Yale
University will open a citizenship
school for women. The classes will
be held in Yale buildings. The lect—
urers will be Yale professors.

So general has been the interest
manifested in plans for the school
that its scope has been extended be-
yond Connecticut, and
are now being received from other
states and countries. -

The school will last for one week
with lectures on the science of gov—
ernment. the methods of political
parties, social problems and the ser-
vice which the individual voting cit-
izen owes to the community, the
state and the nation.

The following article \‘as clipped
from the Review of Reviews for Sep-
tember:

Schools of ("itizcnship

“It. is interesting to note that the
national movement for uniting wo-
men’s organizations and colleges to
teach citizenship, of which Yale now
becomes a sponsor, has been inaugu»
rated not. in the West. where wo—
men have long been voters, but in
the East, where they are compara-
tive newcomers in politics.

“In July, 1919, more than a year
before the ratification of the feder—
al woman suffrage amendment gave
the ballot to the women of New
Hampshire, the New Hampshire
State (‘ollege and representatives of
the leading women‘s organizations
of every kind in the state united in
opening a week's citizenship school
at Durham. The college dormitor»
ies were opened to the visitors and
from all over the state there pour—

ed into the little town farmers’
Wives and city women. industrial
workers and professional women

suffragis‘ts and anti—suffragists, all
animated with the common desire
to make themselves into the best
kind of citizens.

“So novel was the venture that
correspondents were sent to the
school for metropolitan newspapers
to write up the amusing episode of
grown women going back to school.
One of the best known humorous
writers of New England was sent
with a cartoonist by one of the Bos—
ton newspapers. and after a morn
ing in the classroom he telephoned
his editor that he could not write a
funny story. It would be making
mockery of reverence. And the
professor of one of the large men's
colleges..who arrived in smiling mood
to make a speech, offered the facil—
ities of his entire department for
the next school the women should
undertake. So those who came. tc
ridicule remained to praise. And
the movement for citizenship train-
ing by colleges and women’s organ—
izations together receiWJd a {tre—
mendous impulse.

“Since that time the National
League of Women Voters has made
a vigorous campaign for citizenshir

training through universities, «col—
leges, normal, high and primary
schools.

“\Vhat the fresh vigor and enthu-
siasm of the women voters may ac—
complish in combination with men
voters who realize the importance
of such work must result in profit
for the nation, the state, the com»
munity, as well as the individual
citizen.”

 

STRICTLY DECORATIVE

URING the month of October
D take a couple of afternoons and

gather weeds for painting. They
make lovely and cheerful bouquets
for winter months when we cannot
gather fresh flowers from our gar—
dens.

Choose the milkweed pods, they
are attractive as any weed _ that
grows when all dressed up in hol-
iday attire. Stalks of mullen, gold-
en rod seed pods and even the dried
flowers themselves. Dill is pretty
and bearded wheat is lovely. In
some wet spot you may find the
lotus flowers and seed pods. These
bring a very high price in the cities,
a $1.50 for a single flower well dec—
orated. There is the teazle, looking
like a large burr, these are lovely

You will find the wild aster and

It is said among importers that.
Paris proposes but the American wo-
man disposes. In other words she
has the last word.

The very short skirt coming not
far below the knee is gone. Somt
women, in fact many, even among
the smartly dressed, did not take up
the extreme and can now stand pat
as far as skirt lengths go.

The long sleeve is better estab-
lished than the long skirt. For in
the most part sleeves are very short
or very long. although the loose
three—quarter length sleeve is use
by many dressmakers, the bell sleeve
with wide flare is very popular.
liodices are very plain. the neck may
be cut on the bateau or boat line or
a. very narrow V. The tendency is

 

to trim the skirt rather than the
waist. As a rule waist lines are still
wide and fairly low.

lapes which were so much worn
all summer will be good this autumn
and the one in last week’s issue is
good in every detail. Coat lines are
very straight and long with a long
shoulder line—a drooping line.

terials easy and still be a very pret—

are the very latest.

TODAY’S POEIVI

UR POEM today was written

by an I. W. IV. who was sent-

enced. among a hundred oth-
ers, for seditious activities during
the war and who still has five years
to serve in Leavenworth prison. He
is there today because he was loyal.
to Bill Haywood. The poem ex—
presses much fine feeling and true
beauty and the intense longing for
living. growing things is pitiful. How
sad that a man with such fine pos-
sibilities should be where he is. We
hope that, at the end of his sentence
he will be alive and well and able
to fill his soul with Nature’s own
beauty and loveliness. I am hereby
reminded of two stanzas. for many
years stored away in the back of
my brain of whose authorship I am
not sure:

Only on Nature's law
(‘an some men weep.
To ho-r beloved only
(lives she slccp.

Her sympa thy alone
Hath perfect touch,
Man gives too little
Or he gives too much.

 

HOME-MAKING HELPS
By \Vanda Barton

LD TABLECLOTHS may be cut'

up for breakfast and luncheon

napkins. the worn parts of the
cloth being sent to the emergency
piece bag. ~Instead of hemining the
napkins in the usual way. button—
hole the hems with old blue, mercer-
ized cotton floss. If the strength
of the linen warrants it. then finish
the edge with tiny crocheted scal-
lops of the floss. A square or circle
cut from another cloth, may serve as
a centerpiece, finished in the same
way. This makes a set which will
give considerable wear.

Napkins which are a little irreg-
ular in shape can be used for boiled
corn, biscuit or fritter service.

For making a long table runner,
cut the full length strip of border
from one side of the cloth. Finish
the edges as suggested with the
floss, then outline the large flowers
on the end. This treatment is of
fective for it brings up the flowers
into an ornamental design, which
takes away all idea of a makeshift
affair. Cross runners for plate. ser—
vice may be made from the rest of
the border left on the three other
sides. This way of using the cross
pieces (lees away with extra doilies.

The ends of large damask towels
which have worn centers, may be
made over into children’s bibs. The
bears are feather—stitched. and the
border is made of a simple outline
pattern.

For new materials the Italian
drawn—work is the fashion of the
moment. It is done on rather coarse
and unbleachedtlinen. Tirato, it is
called and strongly resembles the
Fayal work done in the Azores and
the Porto Rican drawn—work. The
designs used are cross-stitch, t’ilet

and many other patterns taken from
old museum pieces.

After the hems are put into the
pieces the threads are drawn from
the warp and woof at regular in-
tervals, and the cut threads are
bound or wrapped to hold until they
are taken up in the pattern. One
may buy the patterns, and direc-
tions come with them just how to
work them out in the linen.

Lovely linen panels for parasols
are worked out in butterfly and
floral patterns, and the panels are
joined by an openwork stitch. The
frame underneath is painted white
or the ribs are ribbon wrapped so
that they do not show through the
openwork stitches.

Table sets, after the threads are
drawn, have the pattern woven in
color, which makes the pieces very
effective. This is a period of color
and the table things are not im-
mune from its influence. Where an
allover cloth is done, the centerpiece
is designed right in the middle of
the cloth, and the border falls, but
eight or ten inches below the edge
of the table.

Gingham -breakfast sets are new
and the large, half-inch plaids are
used for their making, out the de-
sired size. The edges are ﬁnished
with rickrack braid. A border is
formed by working a cross—stitch in
the squares, blue or pink on White.
and white on the colors. A thin.
cotton flannel strip runs under the
gingham to protect the table.——De~

HOMELESS CHILDREN
HE MICHIGAN Children’s Aid
Society. with headquarters and
Receiving Home at St. Joseph. is
caring for more than four hundred
children. Some of them are to be
placed ou‘ permanently in adoption

homes. Others have living parents
who hope to regain their children
and re—estahlish their own family

life which is for the present brok—
en up. These the Aid Society is as-
sisting by giving temporary care to
their children.

 

 

 

 

The two boys in the picture above
are brothers who are in need of a
foster home where in time they may
be adopted. They are fine in every
way and deserve a high grade home.
Some good family in Michigan would
be made much happier by the addi-
tion of such a pair of boys.

There are also a brother and sister

waiting to go into a home where
both will be welcome. Then there
is a family of five brothers and a

sister, all attractive. Perhaps three
of ‘these can go into one home and
three into another. In addition to
such little groups as these there are

many boys and girls from six to
twelve years of age. Some can go
for adoption while others can be
taken for a period of a few weeks

or months while the natural parents
are incapacitated.

It ought.to be possible for any
good family in comfortable circum—
stances to make room for at least
one child. The home would have to
be high grade in order to meet the
requirements of the Aid Society, for
they are exceedingly careful of the

interests of these children. But
why should not every well-to-do
farmer who reads this paper be-

cOme interested in helping these un-
fortunate children? Money is scarce.
Many, very many parents are out
of work ‘and a great number of
boys and girls are brought to the
Michigan Children’s Aid Society for
care.

There are other ways of helping.
Provisions of all kinds will be wel-

THE"MICHIGAN BUSINESS FAKIVIEK

come at the Receiving Home: Sup-,
plies for the table and clothing, for:

the children, infants or older,
all be used to advantage. Aid‘ soci-
eties, classes, clubs and any other
kind of group could work in the iii-
terest of these children, while indi-
vidual families can help by opening
the doors of their homes and wel~
coming in for a longer or shorter
period one or more little child. Only
the family of high quality need ap—
ply.

Let’s all join hands with the

How Father Cured a Pig of Eating Chickens

BOUT SIXTY—FIVE years ago I

lived with my father on a farm

in southern Hillsdale county,
Michigan. There was very little of
the land cleared at that time and
there were woods on all sides of us.
My father had a lot of long—nosed.
razor-back hogs that lived mostly
in the woods upon acorns, hickOry
nuts and beach nuts. One of the
old hogs got into the habit of kill—
ing and eating our chickens and
father had to keep her shut up in
the pen so she could 'not get to the
chickens.

One moring father and I took the
gun and went to the woods after
the cows. On our way back we saw
a long-cared owl and my father shot

at it.
in; it but he hit it breaking its Wing
and it fell to the ground. He took
the owl by the wing and dragged it
to the hog pen and threw it to the
pig for her breakfast. The pig made
a Image to catch the owl as it was
thrown to her but. the owl seized
her by the nose with both claws.
When the old pig found she could
not make the owl release its hold
she began to run around the pen
and squeal. When the owl finally
did let go the pig 'nearly tore the
pen down getting away from it
Father let the pig out of the pen
next morning and she never offered
to kill any chickens from that time
on.——Ju1ian A. Palmer, one of the
old boys.

and now one ot’ them will stand on its
hind feet for candy. They also come
up on the porch when they want some»
thing to eat. like a cookie, cracker or

THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER

All Mich. Crops Show Improvement

Little Frost; Good Rains; Fine Weather; Late Crops Yielding Well-

HE LATE potato harvest is in
full swing in most sections of
Michigan, and the yield is much

better than anticipated. Early po-
tatoes, were, however, a virtual
failure. Prices paid to farmers
range from $1.10 per cwt. in Me—
costa county, to $3 and $4 per cwt.
in the more southerly counties where
most of the crop up to the present
time has gone directly to merchants
or consumers. Early last week
farmers were being paid from $3.25
to $4 per cwt. for beans. Since then
the price has dropped 25 to 50 eta.
per cwt. Corn prices range from
50 to 60 cents per bushel; wheat
from $1 to $1.15; oats, 27 to 42 cts.,
depending upon locality and whether
new or old; hay, $10 to $20 per ton;
rye. 70 to 90 cents per bushel; eggs,
30 to 40 cents per dozen. General-
ly speaking the lowest prices record-
ed are in the northerly sections of

the state and the highest in the
southern portions. Proximity to
market is a larger factor than ever

before in making the price to the
farmer owing to the high freight
rates.

 

WeJhtcnnW—Wheat is in and silo-ﬁll—
ing done. Everyone attending the Wayne
(‘mmty Fair at Northville. Farmers are
doing their road work and starting to
dig potatoes and husk corn—ll. C. R.

Mecosta (S.E.)——Corn husking well
under way. (Torn not. as good as ex-
pected. Potato digging well started; the

yield about 50 to 150 bu. per acre. Many
being rushed to market, and prices are
rapidly falling—P. A. .

Gratin—Beans most all threshed and
90 per cent of them marketed; the pick
runs from 4 to 14 lbs, and the yield from
5 to 20 bu. to the acre. Wheat all sown
and v'hat is up looks good. Some are
plowmg for next year. Farmers start
harvesting beets this weekr—G. M.

Lancer (South)——For the acreage of
beans pulled and not pulled there is an
average of half a crop, much colored and
heavy pickers. For the acreage of po-
tatoes planted and so far dug there in
a report of 75 bu. per acre. Most all
corn is ooh—Mrs. W. W. H.

Montcahm—Farmers are very busy
harvesting beans and buckwheat. put-
ting in grain and digging potatoes. The
soil is very wet from recent rains. We
have had no killing frost here yet. About
the only things farmers are selling are
potatoes, cream and eggs.——G. B. W.

Bonnie—Farmers are about through
filling silos and hay, about finished har-
vesting beans, and some are threshing
beans. Wheat is up and looking well;
it has been a good fall for wheat. Some
rye is being sown. Not much hay mov-
ing at present—A. B.

Kalamazoo (N. W.)——Worms in corn
are destroying the ears. Hog cholera has
started in around Hilliards; one farmer
lost 12, his entire herd, one night. Have
apt heard that it iguana-ending much. u

e armors near d their her m-
einated.-—L. B. M. as

Monroe—Wheat has averaged 16 bu.
to the acre; quality poor. Oats 13 bu.
Corn is a. good quality but ears

about as usual. Soil in good shape. The
farmers are well along with their work
for this time of the year. Not much go-
ing to market—G. L. S.

Leanne—Large crap of corn. Pots»
toes better than expected. but not half
a crop. Beets in this vicinity good as
to quantity. Practically no beans raised
for market near here. Lots of clover
and alfalfa hay. Hay market slow. High
freight rates making it hard for farm-
ers—C. H. S.

Jackson—Weather fine. Farmers are
busy sowing wheat and rye. The ma»
jorlty of farmers are sowing wheat this
year instead of rye. Corn nearly all
cut and promises a good yield. Bun-
poor. Late potatoes fair yield. Hay is
doing ﬁne and brings a high price as I.
shortage is predicted—G. S.

Oakland (“Cl—Late potato digging is
hardly started, going from 50 bu. up.
Beans all harvested but no threshing as
yet. The usual amount of wheat and
rye being sown. Apple crap is small,
hardly any for farmer-3' use, with none to
sell. The third cutting of alfalfa all
secured. The new consolidated school
1%, I-éartland township in full swing—J.

Alpenav—Sﬂos all ﬁlled. Lots of corn
left in ﬁelds. A good quantity of apples
here. Lots of hay being pressed. Pots»
to digging is just starting; potatoes are
averaging about 100 b118,, where closely
planted; some are not worth digging
while others are good. Beans are not
ﬁlled well. Heavy rains last week. Fall
plowing being done. Wheat is looking
good—O. H.

HillsdalHCorn is all cut; had been
damaged by the ear warm to a. great
extent. Bean acreage in this county
was not very large this year but those
that were grown were well podded. Late
potatoes are not as good a crop as they
were estimated. Buckwheat is being
cut and will. be a good crop. Plenty of
rain and the ground is too wet to work.
We have had no frost yet. The Met
annual county fair was held at the fair
grounds last week. The livestock exhib-
its were more than the regular build-
ings could accommodate and taxi: were
erected for that purpose.~.——R. J. F.

Tuscola—~that is looking good, and
Quite a large acreage is being sown. l’o-

tatocs are being dug. The yield is .as
good as was expected. Corn huskmg
has started, the yield is good. Some

beans have been threshed and the qual-
ity is poor: the pick is from 8 to 24 lbs.
to the hundred. Beets are not as good
as was thought last month.——W. H. C.

Calhoun—Late potatoes will turn out
fairly good. There are no early pota-
toes in this section. Hay not plentiful,
going to market slow. Corn husking
has commenced, turning out fairly good.
Garden trucking about over. Having
nice weather for fall work. Wheat about
all sown. Some rye being put in yet.—
G. H. S.

St. Joseph—Rye up and looking fine.
Farmers are finishing fall work. Potatoes
are doing very well and no frost here
Yet, although it has been quite chilly at
night. A few farmers who had buck-
wheat out are threshing now. Have not-
iced worms in corn; seem to be quite a
few and are doing considerable dam-
age.——Mrs. H. G. H.

Saginaw (S)—Fine fall weather; no
frosts to kill anything. Beans are about
all harvested and threshing has com—
menced with about 8 to 12 bu. to the
acre; quality fairly good. Late pota-
toes have made fairly good but W111 be
a short crop on account of poor stand.
Corn husking has commenced. Wheat
looks fine. G. L.

Wexi‘ord—Com cut and some husked.
Turning out ﬁne. Silo ﬁlling over With.
Late potatoes look good yet. Earlier
planted potatoes selling at 90c per bu.
Wind—fall apples at 750 to $1 bu; good
apples at $1.50 to $2. Veal at 11c
Cows are some higher this fall than in
the spring. Cutting buckwheat and
wood seems to be the order of the day
Beans are a good crop—W. A. J.

Emmot——Considerable rain. Farmers
busy between showers completing liar-
vesting. Silos all ﬁlled. Picking up-
ples, corn husking, etc... now being done
Plenty of cider apples and best ones are
bringing a fair price on market.
rye looking ﬂne. Fall plowmg under
way. Stock looking good, plenty ol
pasture.———Mrs. G. P. C.

Eaton (W.)-—Corn all in shock. Earli-
potatoes are a failure; late are nearly

and will yield 125 to 150 bushels per
acre. Beans all secured in very good
condition; early poor and late
nodded and filled. Farmers are sowing
what and rye with ground in fine con—
dition; plenty of rain.—-—-C. F. L.

Genesee (C)—-Beans are a light crop;
Most fields will yield about 10 bushels,
some not as good as that. Late pota-
toes have done ﬁne and are of good size
and quality; can be bought at $1.05 per
bushel. Sugar beets look good in most

 

places and a fairly good yield is looked ‘.

looking exceptionally wen—A . .
Midland (C)—No bean threshing has
been done in this vicinity; some beans
however, have been threshed in the
county and there appears to be a good
yield. Potatoes are not yet being-dug
but indications are that the crop Will be
fair. There were not a great many
sugar beets put in in this community,
but what there are are good; an extra
good yield is expected—C. L. H.
Shinwassee (ID—Seeding is well under
ways. in this part of the county, the late
rains having put the soil in ﬁne condi-
tion. The bean harvest is about all fin—
ished except some ﬁelds that were sown
quite late. Some ﬁelds of sugar beets
show evidence of leaf blight. Corn is
being badly damaged by what some ex—
perts call corn borers and others call it
com weevil; a large acreage of sweet
corn was planted for the canning fac-
tory and many ﬁelds are nearly a total
loss through the ravages of this pest.
The late potaato crop is very light and
the early crop in many cases returned
but little more than was planted in the
spring. Small fruits were abundant but
apples, peaches, cherries and pears as
a crop was a failure. Apple orchards
that last year produced hundreds of
bushels did not yield ten bushels this
year and a good share of the crop drop—

r. W. Austin Ewalt, editor

 

WVDeterinary Dep’t ll

 

TUBERCULOSIS

I have a cow 2 years old that has had
a. cough since early spring. She coughs
some every few days and coughs a lot
when you hurry her. She eats Well and
Seems hearty. But is real thin and
doesn’t. flesh up any. Would like to
know if this would be tuberculosis. If
I had the State Veterinarian examine her
what would it cost me or would the state
stand some expense?——Mrs. M. D., Blan—
ey. Michigan.

Get the State Veterinarian to test
if possible;
should he refuse, then have your 10—
cal veterinarian; the state will at
least furnish the tuberculin to make
the test and be sure you have a
veterinarian approved by the state
then, should she prove to be tuber—
cular the state will pay the apprais-
al on her which should be fifty dol»
lars.

CON TAG‘IOUS ABORTION

I have a. dairy of 6- head of cows and

last fall one of them lost her calf at
about sevon months. So far as I know
she has never received any injuries
which would cause her to do so.

month or so later another cow did thl
same thing at about the same. time. tha‘
is, at seven months. I then had two

‘——R(‘thll'l', llchll,

 

You undoubtedly have contagious
abortion in your herd and I would
advise you to take the matter 111
with the State Veterinarian at Lans-
ing, Michigan. You should get, some
help along the line of treatment and
the whole matter will be kept con-
fidential so the condition of your
herd will not be publicly exposed.

 

 

 

SIIEEI’ HAVE STORIAITII \VORl‘IS

I have lost several Slltwl) recently. A
swelling comes under the jaw and they
drink lots of water. Their eyes at
times looks as though they Were going
blind. Nearly all die that get in this
condition. What ails them?—H. A. St.

Midland, Michigan.

From the meagre description giv-
en I should judge that your sheep
are affected with stomach worms
and would advise that you take one
of the sheep or lambs that appear
to be in the last. ’stages of the disease
and either perform an autopsy or
have a veterinarian do so to make
sure of the cause of the trouble. The
stomach worm is found in the fourth
stomach from 1—2 to 3—4 of. an inch
in length and has the appearance of
a red and white thread twisted to-
gether, when it is full of blood.

The presence of Worms in a flock
is indicated by the lambs becoming
dull and listless, the wool dry and
.harsh, the skin which should be a
bright pink, becomes pale. and the
eyelids when turned back show the
membranes to be clear instead of a
network of blood vessels. In the
last stages, a dropsical swelling ap—
pears under the jaws. When worms
are present, the lambs should br
drenched with some vermifuge and
changed to fresh pasture. Copper
sulphate. commonly known as blue
vitrol, is an excellent remedy, bu‘
one that must be used with extreme
care owing to its poisonous nature.
Sheep to be treated should be kept
off feed for eighteen hours before
treating. Just before treating. diS»
solve one ounce of copper sulphate
in tWo quarts; of water and admin—
ister doses as follows: For a three
months old lamb, 24‘. of an ounce
of the solution: for a six months old
lamb, 1 1—3 ounces; for a yearling
two ounces and for a mature sheep

3 ounces. Any of the solution left
over should be destroyed, as it is
not safe to use unless fresh. A so—

lution can best be obtained by sus-
pending the ounce of copper sul-
phate in a cloth and lowering it into
the water only far enough to sub-
merge the copper sulphate.—-—-Geo.
A. Brown, Professor of Animal Hus-
bandry, M. A. C.

missioner of Agriculture, H. H. Hal-
laday of Lansing will alsobe mem-
bers of the delegation Which will do
its level best to secure next year’s,
dairy show for Detroit. It goes
without saying that all of the gen-
tlemen mentioned will be looking out
for tips that will add to the interest
of next year’s Michigan State Fair.

The secretary—manager and the
business committee of the State Fair
are working out the details of a plan
that will add 200 head to the stab—
ling capacity of the big cattle barn
at the fair grounds; this will make
room for 664 head of cattle in this
splendid building.
ing the structural changes will be
very small when the greatly increas-
ed capacity of the rearranged build-
ing is taken into consideration.

One of the most worthy exhibits,
in the Angus division of the recent
State Fair, was made by Frank
Perry, Davison, Mich. Mr. Perry is
not in a position to devote so much
time to the fitting of his herd as is
given by some of the exhibitors who
patronize the big show circuit but
the high average quality of his herd
is attested by the good showing it
made in competition with the strong.
est entry list ever shown in the
state. The three—ye'ar—old bull
Black Rosegay, which stood in third
place at Detroit with only Scripps
and Carpenter & Ross above him, is
one of the best Angus bulls the
writer has ever seen; he was senior
and grand champion aged bull at
Bay City and Davison. The Perry
herd also won third on two—year-old
bull and junior bull calf and fourth
on senior yearling heifer. It' was,
indeed. a very great honor to be “in—
side the money” in the cattle show
at the 1921 Michigan State Fair. At
Bay City the Perry herd was again
in competition with a part of the
Scripps herd. Black Rosegay win-
ning the grand championship over
Editor of Wildwood and taking first
on exhibitor’s herd. Mr. Perry also
won first on bull under six months,

heifer under six months and on calf ,

herd; he also won second on aged
cow.

CATTLE HIDES TANNED INTO

I see that a man in Thompsonville
wants to know where one, can get cat-
tle, hides tanned into harness leather.
There is a firm in Manistce that will do
the, work at 150 per square foot. I had
one horse hide and one, cow hide tanned
into leather and it is alright. The name

MAPLE SAP VINEGAR

A year {:0 last spring we made a
barrel of maple sap vinegar, boiled down
sap until we thought it about the right
sweetness and it has been out of doors
ever since. It; is same as vinegar but
stringy and rather light colored, Can
any one tell me what to do to make good
vinegar out of it as, it is worthless as
it is? J. G., Manton, Michigan.

 

 

 

 

 

Peach Hill Orion King, No. 152489.
heads the fine herd of Duroc Jersey swine
owned by Inwood Bros., of Peach Hill
Farms, Romeo, Mich. This boar is one
of the finest of the breed in liliehigan
and won 3rd prize in the 2 years or over '
class at the 1921 State Fair against stiff
competition from this and other states.
These enterprising breeders also won sev—
eral other prizes at the State Fair this
year with animals from their herd.

NEW YORK FUR SALES
OME 400 buyers from Chicago,
Detroit, St. Louis, Milwaukee
and other leading domestic mar—
kets as well as from Montreal, Tor—
onto, Canada also several from Eur-
ope attended the New York Fur
Auction Sales which were held in
New York City from September 19
to 24. The interest throughout the
sales was good "and prices on nearly
every article was higher than gener-
ally expected.
Quantities of the various articles

offered and sold were: Bear 851;
beaver 6,160; civet cat 45,700; coon
36,900; ermine (white weasel)

120,000; fisher 320: fox, cross 537;
fox, grey 11.000; fox, red 21.200;
fox, silver 169; fox, white 2.980;
house cat 20,000; lynx 1,048; mar—
ten 8,480; mink 20.600; mole 816,—
000; .muskrat 395,000; oppossum
261,000; otter 1,135; skunk 143,-
500; wild cat 15,000; wolf 35,000.

Results compared with the prev-

ious or April sale were: Bear 25 per
cent higher; beaver 10 per cent
higher; civet cat no change; 1‘an

coon, northern 20 per cent higher:
raccoon, southwestern 35 per cent
higher; ermine 20 per cent higher;
fisher 20 per cent higher; fox, cross
20 per cent higher; fox, grey 15
per cent higher; fox, red no change;

fox, silver fresh clear skins 30 per
cent higher; fox, white 20 per cent
higher; house cat no change; lynx

15 per cent higher; marten 10 per
cent higher; mink 20 per cent high-
er; mole no change; muskrat, brown
30 per cent higher: muskrat. south—

western 30 per cent higher; wild

wild cat, southern 10 per cent high-
er; wolf, northern 30 per cent high-
er; wolf, southern 25 per cent high«
er.
Other
Louis where

sales will take place in St.
about same quantity
will be offered. During the summer
some small sales were held at VVin-
nipeg, Canada and a few weeks ago
a sale of fair size was held at. Mon-
treal, Canada where best spring
muskrat from Michigan, Wisconsin
and similar sections ranged from
$1.75 to a little better,than $2.00.
Reccoon sold as high as $5.50.
Michigan best black skunk $5.50;
mink ranged from $7.00 to about
$20.00.

Trappers and small dealers must
remember that these prices are
gross from which selling charges
must be deducted and vary from say

5 to about 10 per cent. Thus a
skunk selling for $5.50 would
mean only about $5.00 to the ship-
per. Again remember that. the
prices mentioned are top and that
most pelts sold for much less.

AS the trapping season will soon
be here again many are wondering
what values will be. This is a ques-

tion rather hard to say in advance
but indications now point to very
satisfactory prices at least when

compared with most other farm pro-
ducts.
Results of the sales as given would

tend to show a good demand for
with the exception Of opossum no
article showed a decline and with

the exception Of red fox and civet
eat all advanced in comparison with
April when the New York Fur Auc-
ltion Sales Corporation held their
previous sale.

The general impression is that the
supply of raw furs is rather short
and that manufacturers are buying
for immediate needs. If business
conditions, in general, were good
there is no question as to raw fur
prices—they would be high—but

under present conditions no one
looks for “boom” figures but at the
same time probably higher than

present business" conditions would

indicate.

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
URTHIER improvement in the
general outlook is noted the
principal moving force being a
marked increase in the amount of
money in circulation the country
over. The marketing of crops has
been the cause of an increased vol-
ume of trade. Retail dealers re-
port collections rather slow, but do
not deny that since the beginning
of September the call for the staple
commodities and manufactured pro-
ducts of commerce has greatly in-
creased. Well-to-do manufacturers,
merchants and wealthy business
men in general throughout the coun-
try, are co-opcrating in the com-
bimd cil'ort to stimulate business
and reduce unemployment. This
movement, is already bearing fruit,
21 rcccnt report from the U. S. De-
partment of (‘ommcrce showing the
number of the cmployd puts the cs-
timatc at 3,500,000. A report on
thc 1111111loym11nt situataion. issncd
hour the 11nd of July by the U. S
Depart-111cm of Labor, showed nearly
(3.0001110 1111-11 out of employment.

The outlook for agriculture in
llﬁichig‘an is improving with every
day of the fall season; farmcrs arc
\vcll forward with their work and
many of tin-m are making: plans for
building's which will be carried out
late this fall or early next spring.
Au 11.11111111111011rnent of a 20 per cent
cut in thc sclling‘ price of variom
types of farm machinery will be,
greatly appreciated by the farmer
who had almost, given up hope oi
this stuff ever coming down to thc
lcvcl of the value of his crop sur-
plus.

As noted last week in this depart
mcnt, bank reserves are increasing
at the season of the y ar when the
opposite is usually thc fact. Sup-
piles of merchandise in the hands of
rctailcrs the country over are so

r-atly reduced that it is hard to find
an assortment to choose from in
many lines. Manufacturers of many
staple lines, aware of the fact noted
above, are discounting the future
by increasingr production; automo-
bile manufacturers arc an exception
to the above rule, thc latter only
building cars \vhcre the actual or-
dcrs arc in sight.

ised the co-operative association of
grain growers in these sections will
help them do this. If this flood of
corn to market can be checked and
the grain marketed in an orderly
way the market will tighten up and
prices go higher. That export bus-
iness is good is shown by the Iii-.111—
street report for the week ending
September 22111], which states there
wcrc 2.1tltil“’ bushcls exportcd dur-
ing that: period. 'i‘1111r11 is a bumpcr
crop of corn in the country but every
bushel is going to be needed before
another harvest, we believe, and we
are bullish on the future of the
corn markct. (in Monday of the 1'111'r11nt
week large receipts held the market
easy and prices were the same as
they were Saturday of last week.

RYE

There was a dull tone to the rye
market last week and No. 2 declin-
ed to $1 at Detroit and 96c at Chi-
cago. Rye felt the dullness in other
cereals last week but there is I
great future to it owing to the enor-
mous quantities needed by European
countries.

HAY

Receipts of hay continue to fall
off on all leading markets and the
movement is only about 60 per cent
of what it was last year at this time.
Smaller receipts and diminishing
stocks are causing the market to
become ﬁrmer and values in the
majority of both western and east-
ern markets show an advance over
last week. On the Detroit market
standard timothy is worth $19 and
$20 per ton with the best grade $1.00
higher. No. 1 clover is $14 and $15
and clover mixed $15 and $16.
Other markets outside the state range
$1 to $8 high-er than Detroit.

LIVE ST ()(‘1( MAI NETS

The tenth month of the year

are selling better, ranging from
$8.50 to $9.25, according to quality.
Eastern dressed beef markets are
weak because of the holidays men-
tioned above, prices declining last
weer: from 500 to $1 per cwt. on
everything except the highest grade
steer carcasses which just about held
their own. Eastern cities are flood-
ed with poultry and the steady mar
ket demand for all other meats is
a big surprise to the talent. Cooler
weather and improved business con-
ditions are assigned as the reasons
for a bulge in the meat trade that
few were looking for at this time.

Sheep and lambs were strong and
active all last week at steady prices,
the leading features of the trade be-
ing a marked improvement in the
demand for feeding stock of all kinds.
Aged sheep were active and steady
all the week, some extra wethers
selling for $5 per cwt. Packers, as
usual, were bidding 250 per cwt. un-
der prevailing market values. Can-
ner kinds were extremely poor in
quality and the price was 50 to 75c
per cwt.

Native lambs were active all the
week, with the small butchers pay-
ing $8.75, While the packers pound-
ed down prices to $8.25. Range
lambs were in liberal supply and
decidedly active with the best sell-
ing for $8.85. Best grades of feed-
ing lambs sold for $7.25;l the bulk
went for $6.75 to $7 per cwt. The
demand for breeding ewes continues
strong and active with the best
kinds selling for from $5 to $5.75.
The general outlook for live stock
in this department is considered
much better than heretofore.

In spite of the fact that the big
ﬁVe packers are doing their level
best to scale down values in the
market for live hogs, the situation
held last Saturday being 10c per
cwt. above the same day of the week
before. Last week’s hog receipts were
3,100 larger than for the week before.

Recently, the average quality of
the offerings in this department has
been decidedly common, the animals
on sale being either too heavy or too
light and grassy to be desirable.
Feeders, evidently anxious about the
future of the market, are sending
forward many hogs that have had
only a. moderate amount of green
corn and are entirely too soft to
make satisfactory yields; it is need-
less to remark that the packers are
buying this kind very cheap. Feed-
ers will ﬁnd that it will pay well to
feed their hogs until they are fin-
ished rather than to send them for-
ward only half done.

(Beginnirg next week the Bus-
iness Farmer will expand its
marketing department to include
trends and prices on all kinds of
vegetables and produce, making
this department the most com-
plete and reliable of its kind in
America.)

property or at least a residing place
of the great Gladstone. but now
owned and occupied part of the
time by Lord Rosebery, former prime
minister. The friend. who was a.
barrister. was very kind but some-
what garrulous as lawyers are apt
to be, and entertained me on our
ride out to the estate with stories
of Lord Rosebery’s greatness and
eccentricities. During the early
part of his discourse he conﬁded to
me the all-important fact that Lord
Rosebery never slept in the manor-
house when at Dalmeny but always
took his valet and spent the night at
Castle Bairnbougle by the sea.
Whether I failed to show the prop-
er amount of interest, awe, or what-
ever I was supposed to show upon
this recital of the Earl’s nocturnal
habits, I do not know, but anyway
my good friend repeated the story at
least three different times before
we arrived at the “lodge” where we
gained admittance to the estate.

The superintendent was a slow-
speaking Scotchman. who seemed to
know farming from A to Z. He told
us that he had been in the United
States once as a visitor to the In-
ternational Live Stock show. It
was with considerable pride that he

showed us about the well—kept prem-
ises and pointed out the herd of
pure-(bred Angus cattle, most of which
Were descended from a bull which
had been sold for a fabulous price at
Perth a few years back.

After looking through some of the
farm buildings shown in the picture
we drove about the estate. A mile
distant was the manor—house, a huge
square-shaped building which“ in
times gone by, I was told, has given
shelter to nobility from all over the
world. lit. stood a few rods distant
from the high banks which overlook—
ed the Firth of Forth and the sea.
AS we looked upon the old castle my
friend turned to me and said: ”You
know Lord Rosebery never sleeps
here. He always takes his valet
and goes down to the Castle Bairn—

bougle. Isn’t that so, Mr. Sinclair.”
Sinclair laughed, “Oh, sometimes,
he said.

My attention was called to a clump
of trees nearly surrounded by an
iron picket fence. “This is the
royal clump,” said Sinclair, and in-
vited me to read the legends on the
little iron placques which stood at
the foot of each tree. And this is
what I read:

“This tree planted by George V,
King of England.” “This tree plant-
ed by the Prince of Wales.” “This
tree planted by Frederich Wilhelm,
crown prince of Germany.” “This
tree planted by Wilhelm, Kaiser of
Germany.”

It called to mind the frequent vis—
itations which the Emporer of Ger~
many made to England during the
early part of his reign when he
formed the strong bonds of friend-
ship which he later so ruthlessly
destroyed.

Finally we passed by Castle Bairn-
bougle where Lord Rosebery was
wont to recline in royal slumber, as
my friend again reminded me. Skirt—
ing the Firth of Forth toward the
sun which was setting gloriously in
the west we came at last in sight of
the Forth bridge, which is over two
miles long and in many respects the
most wonderful bridge in the world.
Oult near the center of the river
could be seen the hulk of a great
vessel. It was the ruins of a Ger-
man warship which was captured
during the war and sunk in the
Firth of Forth. (To be co'ntinued)

CROP REPORTS

(Continued from page 17)

Ingham—Wheat nearly all sown, is
coming up line. Plenty of moisture to
put land in fine condition. Corn turn-
ing out good. Some late spuds are good
but most are poor. A few apples, $1.50
to $2 per bu. Stock looking ﬁne. Good
pasture and lots of it. No killing frost
yet (Oct. l.)-—C. I. M.

Crawford-Beginnlng to dig potatoes,
and report a fair yield. Beans are good.
Corn husking shows an excellent crop,
but oats and rye did not yield well. The
ﬁsh hatchery at Grayllng has been leas-
ed by the state and restocking of streams
with trout will be extended. The bad
weather makes farmers hustle.—A. W.

Bay—The farmers are all busy. Those
who have corn left from last year are
selling it all before putting in the new
crop. Some husking done and silos all
ﬁlled. Not much fall plowing done yet.
Beet harvest not started yet; they are a
fair crop. Pastures are good. No frost
yet; the weather warm and dry. Wheat
started nicely; late crop of potatoes is
better than the early crop. Other root
crops growing nicely. Not much of the
1921 crops sold yet. Some few having
hay baled. Not so much hay to sell
this year. J. C. A.

Kent—Wet weather
sowing of fall grain. Wheat about all
in and starting nicely. Beans harvested
except a few red kidney; the yield is
light and the picking large. Farmers
are marketing as fast as threshed. Corn
all cut and some farmers are husking;
not as good yield as was expected, many
short ears. Potato digging will start
in about a Week. need a frost to ripen;
average yield per acre small although
some ﬁelds are good. Apples being
picked, the crop is small, prices 500 for
cider stock and $2.50 for best.———C. A.

Livingston—\Veather has been ﬂnt
most of the week with slight frost Sun—
day night which did no damage. Silo-
ﬁlling will be ﬁnished this week as will
corn cutting. Some wheat to be put in
yet and also rye. Corn husking has
commenced with good ‘yield. Glad to
learn thru the M. B. F. that it is not
the European corn borer that is doing
so much damage to the corn crop as ]
reported last week. Corn growing will
become a liability to Michigan farmers
should the corn borer and the present
destructive worm remain unmolested
Trust our agricultural experts will ﬁnd
ways and means to combat both for
the good of corn growing in Michigan
Some potatoes being harvested and the
yield is fair, the late potatoes seem tc
have taken on a. new lease of life the

materially increased thereby. High

One million horsepower—

 

of “Z" engines have been bought to date by farmers everywhere. Why? Ex-
amine the “Z” yourself—point by point—at your local dealer’s and you’ll
quickly see why. Check these big points on the engine itself——they’re
your best evidence.

l—High tension ignition gives hot spark and quick starting—sim-
pliﬁes the engine by eliminating many small moving parts; 2— throttling
governor gives you the continuous power, steady speed and close speed
regulation you must have for your cream separator or buzz saw; 3~suctiou
fuel feed is simple and positive——no fuel pump; 4—convenient speed con.
troller enables you to change speed while the engine is running; 5—bearing.;
that are separate die-castings, so that if a bearing wears you can easily rc-
place it with another; 6-—positive lubrication from a single oil cup for piston
and cylinder, and grease cups for bearings; 7—automatic in operationrunning
on any load without adjustment of fuel valve—requires but little attendance;
8 ~uses kerosene as well as gasoline.

And With all this Quality in the ”2," it nevertheless sells at the following remark-
ably low prices. Do you wonder that the “Z” is the world’s leading farm engine?
