Potash for Swamp Land

  

DOES the corn grown on your
swamp or muck land look like
the largeear or like the small one? The
small one shows the kind‘of corn pro-
duced on potash hungry muck land.
When 100 to 200 lbs. per acre of
Muriate of Potash, or 400 to 800 lbs.
of Kainit, are broadcasted on potash
hungry muck, full yields of sound corn
are produced. *

For onions, on such lands,100 to 2001bs.‘
per acre of Sulfate of- Potash is the
right amount to produce full yields of
sound onions that ripen normally and
keep well. '

With potatoes and truck crops, like
. results are obtained. A '

Even at war prices potash gave a good proﬁt
on swamp lands. Now it can be bought for
very much less. It will help you reduce the _
cost of production, and greatly improve the ,
quantity and quality of your crops. There
is plenty of it if ' you will take the trouble to
insist on having it.

 affine principal points 0 an, 
. teresl; in French agriculture of

_ today is the reclamation of
fought—over soil. The area of the
devastated regions, which includes
ten of; the richest agricultural de-
partments of France,“ amounts‘to
8,246,000 acres of which 7,167,000

"acres had been reclaimed by Janu-

ary 1, 1922. «Thisarea though be-
ing ready for cultivation is not ac-
tually productive as «yet, due to the
lack of buildings and machinery de-_
strayed in war-time. The true in-
jury to farmers, however. was not
as severe, as might be expected as
many were enable; to salvage much
portable property,;j and these peas-
ants followed the recession of the
invading armies and at once started
the work 'of reclamation” 'and
throughout the war and for two years
afterwards, they received record
prices for their produce and thus
were enabled to restart with new
stock and up-to-date machinery. As
a result, farming in this region is
much more scientiﬁcally done than
before the war. The younger men
are especially interested in modern
machinery and fertilizers and deal-
ers ‘report an active trade in all
classes of American tools and imple-
ments.

The wheat crop of 1921 which
equaled 'a pre-war yield was har-
vested from an acreage of 8. out
3,000,000 acres less than the pre-
war average. The rye ﬁgures show
anincreased average yield but the
cultivation of rye is considered much
less important than wheat which ex-
plains the decreased acreage. The

rye cultivation as an! evidence of
agricultural progress as they are
much opposed to sowing rye on
‘land that is good enough to grow
wheat. The minor crops’ all show
a decrease from the pre-war acre--
age. The sugar beet industry still
shows a shortage of about 2-3 the
pro-war average production or! beets.
The area lies almost entirely in the
invaded territory and many of ,the
destroyed factories have not been
rebuilt, for last year only 72 were
in operation as compared with 213
before the war. The vineyards were
but little affected by the war but
through labor shortage the output
of wine in 1915 was reduced to less
than half the normal yield though
now production has approached nor-
mal again. The problem of the in-
dustry now is to ﬁnd a market.

The live-stock industry is recup-
erating rapidly. Cattle are ap-
proaching pro-war numbers as is
shown by comparihg the total for
1920, 13,217,000 with 12,250,000 in
1918 and $14,500,000 a pro-war av-
erage. Sheep show a considerable
decrease for in 1920, they numbered
only 9,405,000 as against 16,000,000
at the outbreak of the war. In pre-
war times 7,000,000 swine was a fair
(10-year preceding war) average.
This was cut to less than 4,000,000
by 1918 and in 1920, only 5,000,000
'were reported. .

 ‘ rim: is likely" the, ﬁrst organized effort to
‘ regulate, the acreage cf perishable crops in
 order to prevent "under and. over-production is be-
‘ mg undertaken by the Empire State’Potato Grow-
~ er's’i Co-op‘erative'Ass’n, of Rochester, New York.
This association has made an investigatibn into

other states to determine how much if any they
proposed to increase their acreage of potatoes
and cabbage over last year. ‘

“The acreage of these two crops,” reports Mr. -.

3L. J. Steele, general manager of the association,
“varies surprisingly from year to year. Esti-
mates of the U. S. Department or Agriculture
shows that the .total 1919 cabbage acreage of
the U. s..,_to be 87,497 acres which yielded. 47,023
cars. During 1920 the total acreage was
increasedto 115,838 acres or, 32 per cent and this
large acreage produced 82,373 cars or an in-
drease "of_71 per cent over that of the 1919 crop.
It is safe to say that as a result of such enlarge
crop and yield, at least one-third of the crop
never left the farms."
Two separate investigations were undertaken

: ' U in New York. one by the association and the-

‘ other by Mr. J. B. Shepard, agricultural statis-
tican for the state of New .York. A. total of 444
replies were received to questionnaires sent out
to farmers. These replies indicated that the
1922 acreage“wouldlexceed the 1921 acreage by
14.4 per centand the 1920 acreage by 16.4 per
cent. Theassociation concludes that if the aver-

. age for the entire state Should actually be as
large as indicated by the reports and the yield
was as good as in 1920, the state would produce
the largest crop in its history. Taking the entire

. , United States, a 14 per cent increase in acreage
would mean a total crop under normal growing

conditions of oyer 400,000,000 bushels which is
far too large acrop for this country to consume

under present conditions. ,

The" high prices of cabbage the last few months
have inspired the farmers to plan a very largely
increased acreage to this crop, as shown by re-

; . ' ports fr'om’227 farmers. These reports indicated

' an increased acreage of 35.8 .per cent over the

, 1921 acreage and of 23.5 'per cent over the 1920

 acreage. If this increase actually materializes

' . .‘New York will produce 4,000 more cars of cab—

bage in 1.922 than she did in 1920 when the farm-

' ers “served their cowswith so much potato salad

or drew so muCh cabbage cut of storage on the

manure spreader." ‘ I ,.

NEW ENGLAND PROSPECTS

The Agricultural Statistician of New England reports-

asﬂfollows:

The potato acreage seems likely, in most sections
to be above equal to that of last year, altho to date re-
ceipts of fertilizer in Northern Maine might seem to
indicate a small decrease. However, it is expected that
enough'fertilizer will arrive in time for an acreage
equal to last year’s in Aroostook.”

IMICHIGAN PROSPECTS

The Agricultural Statistician of Michigan writes as
follows:

“From the information I have to date, it is probable‘

that there will ‘be an increase in .the acreage of pota-
toes planted in Michigan this year. Indications seem
to pomt to a. considerable increase in the acreage of
cabbage this year. The excellent pric’e obtained in
1921 is the principal stimulus for the current season.”

WISCONSIN PROSPECTS
The Agricultural Statistican of Wisconsin. basing an

opinion upon conversations with leading growers and
upon his general knowledge of conditions, does not anti—
cipate any change in the potato acreage in Wisconsin
as compared with last year. The cabbage acreage how—
ever,‘he expects will be 12.5 per cent greater than in
1921. This proposed increase he states would not bring
the acreage quite up to the 1920 acreage. If Wisconsin
plants the sameacreage of potatoes as last year and
gets a yield per acre equal to the average for the last
ten years, she will produce 49 per cent more potatoes
 last year and more even than the big cron of

 

 

Nicol Heads Fruit Agency

AS. NICOL, president of the Michigan State
J Farm Bureau, was named president of the
temporary board elected at Chicago April 28th
to organize a National Sales Agency to market
fruit, under the name of the “Federated Fruit
Growers.” '

The establishment of this agency is the result
of the work of the Producers National Fruit
Marketing Committee appointed by the AmerL
can Farm Bureau Federation to develop an im-
proved marketing system for the fruit growers
of America. This committee, consisting of 22
men, has made a complete analysis of the various
factors affecting fruit marketing, has closely
studied the work of the various co-operative fruit’
marketing organizations and as a resul"~ has de-
veloped a plan for the correlation of these local
co—operatives into one national organization.

The new organization will open offices in Chi-
cago at once. The ﬁrst step 'will be the crea—
tion of a sales department. Application for in-
corporation will be ﬁled immediately.

.National standardization of fruit grades and

'an advertising campaign ,to increase consump—

tion of all fruit, will be two, of the jobs under-,
taken by, the Federated Fruit Growers.

COLORADO PROSPECTS

Mr. W. 0. Hood, Jr., manager of the Colorado Cab- -
bage Exchange, which handled over one-half o the» 
cabbage crop of that state last year and expec s to
handle a much larger proportion during the coming sea-
son writes that according to the County Assessors re-
turns last year, 3074 acres of cabbage was grown in
Colorado._ compared with 4,500 acres expected to be
grown this year.

The increasing prominence of the northwestern po-
‘ tato region 18 illustrated in the caSe of North Dakota ‘
\ which by March 18th had shipped nearly six times as

many carloads as last season to corresponding date.

A group of eight of the newer commercial potato
growmg states, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Colorado,
Utah, Montana. North and South Dakota show gains of
18,422 cars compared with the same period last. season.
This gam is equal to three—fourths of the season’s total
gain of potato shipments from all sections.

Potato acreages in North and South Eka‘kota Will be
doubled and the acreage in Northern 'innesota in-
creased 25 per cent this year,, Hugh J. Hughes. State
Director of Markets, predicted last week. Mr. Hughes
returned recently from a meeting of potato growers of
the northwest, conducted at Grand Forks. (From the
New York Packer, Saturday, April 15th. 1922) '

SUMIVIARY

“Therreports to date taken as a whole,” says
Mr. Steele, f‘indicate a proposed increase in acre- '»
age of both potatoes and cabbage. Probably these ~ f
’ expectations will shrink somewhat and then, with
the acreage in, the weather over the Northern
States will determine the total production. If the
acreage is increased as indicated, an unfavorable
season probably would preve/ over production.
A normal season and normal yield probably would
produce all and perhaps more, than the markets
could assimilate and weather and other condi-
tions favorable for these two crops probably
would result in serious over production.

“Over production and under production both
are to be avoided. Both result in great economic
losses; consumers, as well as producers suffer.
Production is determined ﬁnally by acreage and
the weather. We cannot control the weather but
by avoiding extensive ﬂuctuation in the acreage,
we can do much to stabilize the business of grow-
ing these two crops”,

It is not necessary to dwell upon the disastrous
consequences which will follow if this huge con-
templated acreage is planted. An enormous crop
of grain can be grown without permanent ﬁnan-
cial loss, but such perishable crops as potatoes
and cabbage, in the production of which Michi-
gan ranks so prominently, can easily be produced

and have set about to answer the questions asked
‘and to disprove the conclusions drawn. '
'The question of the relationship between bo-

.' wine and human tuberculosis and danger of in-
fection from the drinking of milk from tubercu—
losis cows is all—important. It involves on the
one hand the slaughter of tens of thouSands of
‘vprized dairy' cattle and huge economic loss to
governments and individuals, and on the other
hand the far more important consideration of
' human health and life. The questions we raise
today upon this subject are not new. They have
been asked many times before, not only by ig-
norant laymen, but by men of science. For years
science has wrestled with the question and hun-
dreds of experiments have been perfonned tend-
ing to prove or disprove the danger of bovine
tuberculosis to the human race. As recently as
1901 the eminent German scientist, Koch. “threw
a bomb-shell into the conference (British con-
gress on tuberculosis.) when he afﬁrmed that the
diﬁerence between the bovine tubercle-bacillus
and the human * * * * was such that one was
not contagious to the other species, or was so
slightly contagious that the number of cases of

' tuberculosis thus produced might be left out of
consideration without impairing statistics." In
1911, so wrote Jos. Walsh, A. M., M. 1)., physi—
cian to the Henry Phipps Institute and to the
White Haven Free Sanatorium for Poor Con-
sumptives, and recorded in the American En-
cyclopedia, “the question of the contagiousness
of the bovine bacillus for man is practically Still
under consideration." This authority further
wrote that the old theory that tuberculosis
was the result of ingestion with such food as
rmilk (because bottle—fed children seemed espe—
cially susceptible to the disease) has undergone
a change, because the “majority of clinicians of

quently simply because the intestine is more sus-

Therefore, it may be seen that up to 1911 the

‘HARNESS is a device by means of which
A power may be used‘to do useful Work. But
when most of us hear the word harness, we think
of the device or working gear used on a horse.
It is of the common horserharness that I shall
write. In order to make my comparison easier
to grasp, I shall let the farmer be represented
by a horse.

In pre—war days the papers and magazines
used to picture the farmer as a hump backed,
bow legged old codger with his trouser legs
hung up over his boot straps. He always had

grass or a corn cob pipe in his mouth. But late—
ly they are picturing 'the farmer as a big strong
robust youth. He is dressed as his city cousin
might be, or sometimes he is shown in overalls;
but they are always new and full of starch, not
baggy at the knees and covered with patches as
they mere often really are. But be that as it
may, I like the last representation better and so
will represent my farmer by a prancing young
colt. For what could be a more beautiful repre-
sentation of strength and vigor?

I consider the ﬁrst essential. of a good harness,
is a good collar; one that is neither too hard
nor too soft, too large nor too small. The col-
lar of my harness is made up of the farmers or.—
ganizations’, the farmers clubs, the gran'ge, the
Gleaners, the farm bureau, etc., all taken to-
, _ gether. The stufﬁng of thisycollar is made up of
i  the individual farmers and their families. When
'a collar maker makes a collar he is very par-
,‘ticular about the stufﬁng, he sorts it very care—

Farmer Writes ‘I-Ils Experienoe With ’1‘. B.

One of the purposes of our "editorial was to
stimulate thought and‘bring forth expressions
of opinions from ourireaders. Judging from the
letters that have been received this 'obiect was
attained. Among the” communications was the
following from Mr. R. A. Wilson, of Kingsley,
Grand ' Traverse county, Mich. ,Mr. Wilson
speaks from the bitter depths of experience and'
his letter presents a strong presumptive argu-
ment in favor of continued eradication. He'
writes: ‘ > ' '

“I have never knocked the policies of the M.
B. F. but your editorial ‘Bovine Tuberculosis’ in
your April 8-15th issue I cannot pass by without
comment and in view of the"inﬂuence of your
editorial I think you should’publish another
viewpoint. ‘ ,

“As to the ﬁrst point you make, while there
is no doubt a~very close relationship between
bovine and human tuberculosis I believe the best
authorities claim there is a slight difference in
the germs that cause the two. It does not fol-
low, however, that the bovine tuberculosis is not
transmissible to human beings. In fact a ma-
jority of the'tuberculosis children are apparently
afflicted with the bovine type.
get it? Your second thought. Should there be
a shadow of a doubt of this danger, the slaugh-
ter of reacting dairy animals is one of the great-
est economic crimes of the age, is open to ques-
tion from an economic point of view, as the
gain to the live stock industry through the eradi-
cation of tuberculosis is incalculable. But many
who value the lives of their children would pre—
fer to reverse this idea and say, “If there is a
possibility of murdering our children through
infection from milk from tubercular cows, de-
stroy every reacting animal, even though we
must suﬁer an economic loss,” which is very
doubtful.

“While the suckling child might not take the
disease from a tubercular mother, certainly if
the mother’s breast were tubercular the danger
would be imminent and .the milk glands are very
apt to be aﬁected in a tubercular cow.

HE estate of C. H. Prescott & Sons,   
TaWas- City, Mich., has come to be 7”“???
familiarly known, throughout the v ‘
United States and Canada, as. the
owner and developer or one of the
best'ﬁh’e'rds BfTShorthorn cattle on the
western Continent. The writer has
good reason to believe. however, that
~many who have an acquaintance with -
the Prescott family, here in' Michigan,
donot understand who are included in
the ﬁrm name, C. H. Prescott & Sons!
The almost universal opinion seems to
lie-that the elder Prescott, who resides
at Tawas City; is C. H. Prescott and
that, the sons mentioned in the ﬁrm
name, are Ge‘brge A., ~Jr., a'nd‘Charles
T. Prescott. 'C. H. Prescott was the
grandfather of~the young men men-
tioned above. The senior Prescott, so.
well known here in Michigan, answers
to the name of. Geo. A. Prescott, Sr. .’
He. is the oldest son of C. H. Prescott
and the senior member of~the partnership which
includes two younger brothers. Besides the real
estate and live stock interests here in Michigan,
the estate owns and operates the Saginaw Bay
Lumber Co., with ofﬁces and yards at Cleveland,
Ohio. I
At the bottom of this page are given illustra-
tions of the three wonderful herd bulls which have
for the last few years been in use in the Prescott
herd. Lorne, an imported bull, was purchased at
an auction sale in Chicago, a few years ago, for

$2,500; before the hull was settled for, the new,

owners were offered $500 for their bargain.
Showing how rapidly this bull gained in popular-
ity it _may be of interest to note, that before he
had been on Richland Farms a year, $6,500 was

offered for him and refused. The ﬁrst four heif—.

ers sired by Lorne are shown in the accompany-
ing cut; all of these and one more were sold for
an average of $1,900. The ﬁrst two bulls, from
this sire, averaged $700. __There is on the farm-a

Heifers the Get of Imported Lorne

In the main, Lorne has been a heifer breeder
, and there are still many females in the herd out
of him. On the occasion of a recent visit to the
farm by the writer, he was shown several young
calves, all closely resembling the animals in the
accompanying group of four. So uniform in
color and other physical characteristics, are the
animals sired by Lorne that the stranger, visit-
ing the farm for the ﬁrst time, soon learns to
identify them at sight. Lorne was grand cham-

senior yearling form; as a two-year-old he stood
in eighth place at the International with 30 won-

third prize at the International.

The white bull, Newton Champion, while he
has never been shown, has furnished many prize
winners, the ﬁrst four bulls-sired by him were

at present, is a White yearling bull by
Newton Champion and out of one of the *
ﬁrm’s best cows, registered under the
name of Richland Astronomer; he has
one of the ﬁnest heads the writer has
ever seen on a bull and a. wonderful ,
loin, rib and heart girth. 7:49
Sterling Supreme, now in active use '
in the Prescott herd, is ﬁve years old, a ‘
beautiful dark red and without excep-ﬁ
tion the “widest” bull for his'weight
that the writer has ever seen; this
bull is producing some wonderful
young Shorthorns .when bred to fe-
males sired by the imported bulls,
Lorne and Newton Champion. Some
of‘ the ﬁnest heifers ever produced
in Michigan were sired by Ster-
ling Supreme. The rich color and
matchless bloom of the calves sired by
this red bull, when crossed with the ‘
whites and roans produced by the
other two bulls in the herd, has probably’never - ‘
been surpassed in the annals of Shorthorn breed-
ing in America. The owners of this herd have -, ' V,
now gone far enough in cross-breeding the get
of these three sires so that the undertaking is
no longer an experiment. ’
The Prescotts are extremely proud of the re-
cord of Richland Kate, sired by Sterling Supreme
and out of the imported cow, Ocean Queen:
Richland Kate was the ﬁrst prize senior heifer
calf and reserve junior champion at the Michigan
State Fair, 1920; she won ﬁfth prize in compeé
tition with 40 others at the International of 1920.
She was sold in her senior calf form at the Inter-
national sale, of 1920, to Maryvale Farms,
Youngstown, Ohio, for $1,750; as a senior year-
ling she came strong the next year winning ﬁrst
position at Illinois, Ohio and Indiana state fairs
and fourth place in her class at the International,

SPOT ON PLASTER

Can you tell me what to remove a spot
of a plastered ceiling? There was nothing
spilled that could cause it. It looks like
grease an has come through wall paper

might be something in the plaster.-—Mrs.
0. N. J., Edmore, Mich.

It would‘be unusual it there was
anything in the plaster which would
cause such a spot. If this is the case,
that portion of the plaster should be
removed and new plaster put in. It
is more likely that the spot is caused
by a leak .from the water or waste
pipe, or possibly from a leak in the
roof. In case of a. leak in the roof
it should be repaired. Water and
waste pipes may be inspected and
repaired by removing boards in the

RENTING ON SHARES

A man has asked me to work his farm
this spring, he is to furnish team, im—
plements and seed. He said he would pay
me whatever I thought would be right,
providing it wasn’t toobig a price. What
would be considered a fair price to ask
of this man? I am to do all the work
on the farm as if'it were mine—R. Mc,
Benzie County, Mich. *

WHAT KIND OF BEANS SHALL
I SOW?

I am in a quandry to know just what

this year. Last year I raised the red
kidney but do not know whether it would
be good business policy to sow them

give me your views on the matter? What
does the outlook seem to be for that
variety?—W. N. T.. Pigeon, Mich. ‘

The outlook for red kidneys is not
quite as promising as two or three
years ago. The West Indies have al-
ways been the principal market for
this variety but the low prices of
sugar have decreased their purchas-
ing power and they are not taking
so many as formerly. However, with
continued improvement in the sugar
market they should again be fair
prospects for red‘ kidneys next fall
and winter. We probably won’t see
$10 red kidneys for some time to

ﬁt. The navy bean market is im-
proving right along and the acreage
will probably be large. Why not di-
vide your ﬁeld and plant part to red
kidneys and the rest to navies? —-

Light sandy-"soil is quite likely-to.

of sweet clover are very seldom, se-
cured enso'ils that have a~low lime
content. ' ' - i .
If you will sample the ﬁeld in

posite sample to your county agent;
he will test the soil for "acidity and
advise you as to the amount of lime
that should be applied. ' .

It the soil is found to be acid.
would not recommend the seeding of
sweet clover until either 2. tons of
ground limestone or its equivalent
in some other form of lime has been
applied. It the soil is not acid,
would recommend seeding the sweet
clover alone at the rate or 12 to 15
lbs. of scariﬁed seed per acre. An
application of barnyard manure
would be of considerable value.

Would suggest seeding Canada
ﬁeld peas with the oats for hay. Cow-
peas are an entirely different crop
than Canada ﬁeld peas and are not
adapted for being sowu with cats.
Would suggest a mixture of a bushel
‘of cats and a bushel of peas sown
at the rate of from 2 to 2 1-2 lbs.
per acre. '

Sand Vetch may also be sewn
with oats for hay.‘ When Vetch is
used, would suggest 2 bushels of
oats and 20 lbs. of hairy vetch seed
per acre. When sown in the spring
vetch should live over the winter,
if conditions are favorable—C. R.

: MOLDY SILAGE‘

I, would like to know through the ser-
vice Department whether or not mouldy
silage is poison to cattle or not.—A. 8.,
Paris, Mich. '

While silage containing a small

amount of mold has been fed in
many instances to cattle without
causingany serious results, it is
much more liable to cause injury if
fed to horses or sheep. Badly mold-
ed parts of the silo should not be
fed but Where a small amount of
mold is found the silage may be fed
to cattle without expecting any seri-
ous trouble if .given in ‘small
amounts at ﬁrst. If care is taken
to have the silage well-tramped and
that it contains suﬂ‘icient moisture
there is little danger that; silage
will become moldy—D. E. J. Ed—
wards, Ass’t Professor of Animal
Husbandry, M. A. C.

CONCRETE BARNYARD

I Wish to buuid a cement barnyard
and would like to know just what pro-
portions to mix "the cement and gravel to

have it hold up. Is it a beneﬁt to have .

the top of the newly laid cement oov~
ered with sawdust? Could you give me
an estimate of the number of yards of
gravel and barrels of cement it would
take for a thousand square feet of barn-
yard? What kind of a foundation is best,
sand or Cinders? Any information re—
garding the construction of a cement
barnyard. manure pit, etc. would be
greatly appreciated.——-C. F. E., St. Clair,
Mich. .

A test for cleanness may be made
by putting 4 inches of the gravel in
a glass jar, ﬁlling with water and
shaking until thoroughly mixed, aft:
er which it is allowed to stand. A
thickness of more than 1-4 inch of
clay or‘ silt on top would indicate
that it is. not clean.

To secure good concrete it is also
necessary that the gravel be graded
in sizes from ﬁne grains‘to coarse
and for _ careful work ,, engineers
usually specify a’three-part mix, as

“of probably to 6 or 7 would be

“‘ speciﬁed and the ﬂoor should be laid

not less than 4 inches thick and bet-‘
ter 5 or 6 inches. . .

The easiest way to construct this
ﬂoor would be to use one-course con-

‘ struction, that is\to say, a concrete

, well—drained sand‘ or

which “gives a good enough surface

so that it is not necessary to plaster
you a surface coat. '

It is of great beneﬁt to cover this
'iioor, especially if exposed to the
wind, .with sand or sawdust which
should be kept wet downfor a period
of at least two Weeks. Much con-
crete which is built would be of im-
mensely better quality if it were
supplied with enough ‘water to com-
plete the process of setting.

So far as foundation is con-
cerned, good drainage is the essen-
tial thing ,and it makes no great
difference so long as a porous ma-
terial is used whether it is sand or
cinders. ' '

In estimating the materials for
1000 square feet of barnyard, I
Would suggest using a 1:2 1-2:5 mix
with a ﬂoor 4 inches thick on a ﬁrm,

cinder base.
This ﬂoor of 1000 square feet of sur-
face would then be equal to 333
cubic feet of concrete. About 18 cu-
bic feet of cement for each cubic
foot of concrete would be required
or about 60 cubic feet of cement.
“Since one bag is counted as a cubic
foot this would mean 60 bags of
cement. Two and one-half times
this many cubic feet of sand would
be 150 cubic feet or 5 1—2 cubic
yards of sand and twice as much
gravel as sand would be 11' cubic
yards of gravel. ' -

It is customary to consider a cubic
yard as one load of gravel.

If a two-part mix is used, as ce—
ment and bank run 7gravel, then it
is comparatively easy to calculate
the amount of material needed.
which would be as much gravel as
cubic feet of ﬂoor—333 cubic feet—
and if the proportion of 1:6 mix
-were used, this would ﬁgure 1-6 of
333 cubic feet or 55.5 bags of ce-
ment. ~

A 1:6 mixture would be nearly
the same as 1:2 1-2:5 mix, using
3-part proportions—H. H. Mussel-
man,‘ Professor of Farm Mechanics,

‘ MOLES IN GARDEN
Can you tell us how to get rid of moles
in. our garden? For several years they
have proved a pest. and especially dis-
tructive to gas. We have used traps
and poison th of which have proved

 

ineffective. Any helpful information will

be received—Mrs. C. Si. Hess
peria, Mich.

We know of no easy and entirely
satisfactory method for ridding a
garden of moles. No poison nor gas
is effective and practically there are
but two things to do;~ namely: Use
mole traps such as may be found at
most hardware stores, or watch for

times they are close to the surface
and it is an easy matter to tramp
the ground hard behind the mole
and dig it up with an ordinary
spading fork. There are several
kinds of mole traps? but our experi-
ence does not show that any one is
superior to the rest.

If a lawn or gardenhas a strong
slope toward wet ground the moles
most often come in from the lower
wet side, often a foot and a half to
three feet below the surface and if
such a run-way can be located prob-
aby a good many moles could be
killed by dropping an ounce or two
of liquid carbon” bi-sulphide int-o this
burrow and covering quickly with
earth. This is of no use, of course,
in the shallow run-ways since these
are merely feeding burrows and oft-
en are used but once. Write the

show that all had not given the sub-

see the good results if there are any
to be found. '

Why. is it that business ﬁrms will
take our boys and girls out of the
farming country for their work in
the place of out of the city?,.If the

city has done so much for their .

youth, and raised them to so much
higher standard, why don’t they
keep them? Every one knows that
the city student cannot come on the
farm and make a success. There
seems to be two places where the
rural youngsters'can make good, in
spite of_ all the handicap they have
had by having unprepared teachers
to tutor them (as the commission-
ers refer to them).

What parent is there that wants
to put their little ﬁve-year—old ‘tot
in one of those busses with all sizes

to be bumped around for miles? '

And if they are the ones that live on
the bad road they can walk out to
the 'good roads, stand there in the
mud, snow, rain or whatever it
chances tobe until the bus comes
-——if a, moment too late they can go
home——and then the howl over at
the school house. The above has
been tried out somewhat in Eaton
county this. last winter, notwith-
standing the winter has been extra
good for the bus work.

Is it right to vote such an un-
merciful tax on the coming gene-
ration? They say when it gets to
going it costs no more to run it than
the rural school. If so why have so
many of them closed their doors?

It is high time the diggers of the
soil arise and let their voices be
heard. Let the hard manual worker
be not afraid to speak—Mrs. C.”V.

(Editor’s’notez- Some months ago an
article was published in the Detroit News
from tha'pen of the M_ B. F. editor set-

of light wine and beer in Norway. The
article brought to the editor a number
of 4 letters of both commendstory and
condemnatory natures. But the one
,_which impressed him the mostwas the

well-known fact that we fellows
in the northern part - of this

state close the doors on our autos
for four and ﬁve months every win-

them every .day in the year. There
is no different in the price of ii-

should get our tags for at least one-
third less than our southern friends.

ONE OF THE MISTAKES OF

one of them is our foreign policy

that is Within our reach.

Let us stop using Dice and sub-

in diameter and 8 inches long is
bought (a cardboard mailing tube
will do) and waxed or shellaced, buy

will be needed. ~ _ .
Beginning 3-4 inch from one end
of the cardboard tube wind it with
wire up to 3—4 inch of the other end,-
the wire should be separated the
same distance from each turn equal
to the thickness of the wire. This
is best done by winding a piece of
string at the same time as you wind
the wire and when you have the
single layer of wire on the tube and
the‘ends fastened, you can then un-
wind the string and each turn of
the wire will be separated from its
neighboring turn. Wind the wire
tight so that it .will not slip. A coil
may be made with the enameled
wire and each turn may be against
the next, turn but the ﬁnal results
will not be as good. Having wound
. the coil mount it between 2 pieces
of wood and then mount the com-
plete coil on a ﬂat piece‘ of wood

other end. With the screw that
holds one end of the rod fasten one

of the \loose ends of the wire and _

then to a' binding post set in the

be. attached to another binding post ,

touching it or the rod. See the
ﬁgure of a coil and you will have an
idea how your "complete coil should

To tune your set see that the cat’s’
whisker contact touches the crystal
lightlthhen put on your telephones,
and listen—in, at the same time slide
the movable sliding contact along
the coil one turn at a time and if
you do not hear anything place the
cat’s whisker on a different place
on the crystal and try again. When
you hear the radioph-one or any wire-
less telegraph signal, gently move
the cats whisker till you ﬁnd a place
on the crystal that brings in the
signals the loudest, and then move
your sliding contact" on the coil a
turn at a- time one way then the
other till the musicor signals come
in the loudest. This takes some prac-
tice and patience, and just because
you do not hear anything do not
get discouraged, try and try again.

A good time to make your test is
between 7:30.and 9:30 p. m. when
the Detroit News is broadcasting, as
well as Grand Rapids and other
stations. ’

In making adjustments be sure
that all contacts are tight, that
wherever a wire is attached to antith—
er part of the set or binding post
that the insulation has been taken
off that piece of wire at the point of
contact, otherwise you will not hear
anything. Wherever any wires cross
see that they do not touch and try
to keep them at least 1:2 in. apart;

Do not- drop your telephone re-
ceivers; you can jar the magnetism
out of them and so spoil them that
they will not do good work.

Beneat and careful in mounting
your set and every \time you are.
through see that the lightning switch
is connected to ground. '

e JAMES, OLIVER cunwoori *,
MichiganrOwn and Amorlce’mf’emgit of Wild Lil’s Romance

 

(Continued from last issue)

HEY werenot alone. A caribou
sped= past them with the swift-

. ness of the wind itself. “Fast,
fast, fast!”—Neewa’s instinct cried,
“but endure! For the caribou, speed-
ing even faster than the fire, will
fall of exhaustion shortly and be eat-
en up by the flames. Fast—but en-
dure!” .

And steadily", stoically, at his lop-
ing gait Neewa led on. .

A bull moose swung half across
their trail from the west, wind-gone
and panting as though his throat
were out. He was badly burned,
and running blindly into the eastern
wall of ﬁre. I

Behind and on either side, where
the ﬂames were rushing on with the
pitiless ferocity of hunnish regi-
ments, the harvest of death was a
vast and shuddering reality. In hol—
low logs, under windfalls,_in the
thick tree-tops, and in the earth it—
self, the smaller things of 'the wild—
erness sought their refuge——and
died. Rabbits became leaping balls
of ﬂame, then lay shrivelled and
black, the marten were baked in
their trees, ﬁshers and mink and
ermine crawled into the deepest
corners of the windfalls and died
there by inches, owls ﬂuttered out
of their tree—tops, staggered for a
few moments in the ﬁery air, and
fell down into the heart of the
ﬂame. No creature made-a sound——
except the porcupines, andas they
died they cried like little children.

In the green spruce and cedar
timber, heavy with the pitch that
made their thick tops spurt inrto
ﬂame like a sea- of explosive, the ﬁre
rushed on with a tremendous 'roar.
From it—in a straight race—there

of that world of conﬂagration there
might have risen one great, yearn-
ing cry to heaven: Water—Water—
WATER!‘ Wherever there was wat-
er there was also hope——and life.
Breed and blood and Wilderness
feuds were forgotten in the great
hour of peril. Every lake became
a haven of refuge.

To such a lake came Neewa,
guided by an unerring instinct and
sense of smell sharpened by the
rumble and roar of the storm of ﬁre
behind him. Miki had “lost” him-
self, his senses were dulled, his nos-
trils caught no scent but that of a
world in ﬂames—so, blindly, he fol-
lowed his comrade. The ﬁre was
enveloping the lake along its west-
ern shore, and its water was already
thickly tenanted. It was not a large
lake, andralmost round. Its diame-

yards. Farther out—a few of them
swimming, but most of them stand-
ing‘on bottom with only their heads
out of water—were a score of cari-
bou and moose. Many other short-
er-legged creatures were swimming
aimlessly, turning this way and that,
paddling their feet only enough to
keep aﬂoat. 0n the shore where
Neewa and Miki paused was a huge
porcupine, chattering and chuckling
foolishly, as if scolding all'-things
in general for having disturbed him
at dinner. Then he took to 'the
water. A little farther up the shore
a. ﬁsher-cat and a fox hugged close
to the water line, hesitating to wet
theirprecious fur until death itself
snapped at their heels, and as if to
bring frésh news of this death a se-‘
cond fox dragged himself wearin
'out on the shore, as limp as a wet
rag after his swim from the oppo-
site shore, where the ﬁre was al-
ready leaping in a ‘wall of ﬂame;
And as this fox“swam in, hoping to
ﬁnd. safety, an old bear twice as big
as Neewa, or bed panting from the
undergrowth, plunged into the wet--
er, and’swam out. Smaller things

and

was no*escape for man or beast. Out'

ter was not more than two hundred~

with these things which he would
have devoured so greedily running
' about him‘, Neewa waded slowly out
into ‘the water. .

Miki followed until he was sub-
merged to his shoulders. Then he
stopped. The ﬁre was close now,
advancing like a race—horse. Over
the protecting barrier of thick tim-
ber drove the clouds of smoke and
ash. Swiftly the lake became oblit—
erated, and now out of that awful
chaos of blackness and smoke and
heat there rose strange and thrilling
cries, the bloating of a modse calf
that was doomed to die and the’bel-
lowing, terror-ﬁlled response of its
mother, the'agonized howling of a
wolf, the terriﬁed barking of a fox,
and over all else the horrible'scream-
ing 'of a pair of icons whose home
had been transformed into a. sea of
ﬂame. ' '

Through the thickening smoke
and increasing heat Neewa gave his
call to Miki as he began to swim,
and with an answering whine Miki
plunged after him, swimming so
close to his big black brother that
his muzzle touched the other’s ﬂank.
In midulake Neewa did as the other
swimming creatures were doing ——
paddled only enough to keep him-
self‘aﬂoat, but for Miki, big of bone
and unassisted by a life-preserver of
fat, the struggle was 'not so easy. He
was forced to swim to keep aﬂoat.
A dozen times he circled around
Neewa, and then, with something of
the situation driven upon himhhe
came up close to the beer and rest—
ed his forepaws on his shoulders.

The lake was now encircled by a
solid wall of ﬁre; Blasts of ﬂame
shot ‘up the pitch-laden trees and
leapt for ﬁfty feet into the blistering
air. The roar of the conﬂagration
was deafening. It drowned all
sound that brute agony and death
may have made. And its heat was
terriﬁc. For a few terrible minutes
the air which Miki drew into his
lungs was like ﬁre itself. Neewa
plunged his head under water every
few seconds, but it was not Miki’s
instinct to do this. Like the wolf
and the fox and the ﬁsher-cat and
the lynx it was his nature to die be—
fore completely submerging himself.
‘ Swift as it had come the ﬁre
passed, and the walls of' timber that
had been green a few moments be-
fore were, black and shrivelled and
dead, and sound swept on with the
ﬂame until it became once more only
a low and rumbling murmur.

To the black and smouldering
shores the live things slowly made
their way. Of all the creatures that
had taken refuge in the lake many
had died. Chief of those were the
porcupines. All had drowned.

Close to the shore the heat was
still intense, and for hours the earth
was hot with smouldering ﬁre. .All
the rest of that day and the night
that followed no living thing moved
out of the" shallow water. And yet
no living thing thought to prey upon
its neighbor. The great peril had
made of all beasts kin. '

A little before dawn of the day
following the ﬁre relief came. A‘de-
luge of rain fell: and when day broke
and the sun shone through a murky
heaven there was left no sign of
what the lake had been, except for
the dead bodies that ﬂoated on- its
surface or lined its shores. The liv-
ing things had returned into their
desolated wilderness—and among
them Neewa. and Miki. , -.

CHAPTER TWENTY-sug.

OR many days after ‘the Great
Fire it was Neewa .who ,took
the lead. All their world was r
a black and lifeless desolation and
Miki would not have known which *
way to turn._ Had it been a local
ﬁre of small! extent he would have
“wandered” out of its charred mutt.

ing of the \second morning found

Miki more exhausted than the bear. ,~ e
There were many evidences now .

that they had reached. a point where

the ﬁre' had begun ‘to 'burn’ itself ; e 1
out. Patches of green timber were I “a ‘

left standing, there were swamps un- i; 1
scathed by the ﬂames, and here fend 
there .they came upon green patches 

 

 
 

 

   
   
 
       
     
  
  
 

0f meadow. In the swamps and tim-
ber they feasted, for these oasesin 5
'what had been a sea- of ﬂame 'were 1
ﬁlled with food readyito "be preyed 1
upon and devoured. For the ﬁrst 6
time Neewa refused to stop because ‘
there wasplenty- to eat. "The sixth ~-t
day they were a hundred miles from 
the lake in which they had'soug-ht ‘1
refuge «from the ﬁre. - 1’ v-'  r S
It was a wonderful oountr‘y‘pf I
green timber, 0f Wide plains and of I
many lakes and streams—~cut' up by a
a thousand usayow (low ridges), 12*
which made the best of hunting. f
Because it was a country of many d!
waters, with live streams running t
between the ridges and from lake
to lake, it had not suffered from the t‘
drought like the country farther 1“
south. For a. month Neewa and Miki d
hunted in their new paradise, and 1‘
became fat and happy again. a
It was in September that they ‘1
came upon a4 strange thing in the ‘5
edge of a swamp. 'At first Miki ‘1
thought that it was a-cabin, but it ‘1‘
was a great deal smaller than any ‘5
cabin he' had known. It was not 'W
much larger than the cage of sap- 83
lings in which Le Beau had kept C
him. But it was made of héavy legs, W
and the logs were notched so that ‘3'
nothing could knock them down. 9'
And these' logs, instead of lying W
closely one on the other, had open 3
spaces six or eight inches wide be—
tween them. And there was a wide-
open door. From this strange con- 15
traption there came a strong odor W
of over-ripened ﬁsh. The smell re- 5‘
pelled Miki. But it was a powerful 1C
attraction to Neewa, who persisted T
in remaining near it in spite of all M
Miki could do to drag him away. ' 19‘
Finally, disgusted at his comrade's 13"
bad taste, Miki sulked off alone to d
hunt. It was some time after that. a
.before Neewa, dared to thrust his ! L
head and shoulders through the ' 1"
opening. The smell of the ﬁsh made t‘
his little eyes gleam. Cautiously he 31.
stepped inside the‘ queer looking 1“
thing of logs. Nothing happened. ‘
He saw the ﬁsh, all he could eat, just 1-“
on the other side of a sapling against a]
which he ~mu‘st lean to-reach them. 9‘.
He went deliberately to the sapling, W
_ leaned over, and then! hi
, “Crash!” ~- ‘3‘
He whirled about as if shot. There d:
was no longer an opening where he / a
had entered. The sapling “trigger” ’ w
had released an over-head door, and 3‘1
Neewa was a prisoner. He was not to
excited, but accepted the situation ﬁ‘
quite éo’olly, probably ‘having no ‘
doubt in his mind that somewhere 5F
there was an aperture between the
logs large enough for him to squeeze
through. After a few inquisitive '—
sniffs he proceeded to devour the T]
ﬁsh. He was absorbed in his odori— _v
ferous feast when out of a clump e;
of dwarf balsams a few yards away t
appeared an Indian. He quickly took “I
in‘ the ,situation, turned, and disap-‘ . / tr
* peared. . K  H‘
Half an, hOur later this Indian ‘
ran into a clearing in which were 1’"
the recently constructed buildings of th

Challoner led the way, with an axé
in his hand, and with him came Na-
nette, her hand in his. Mootag fol-
loWed with his riﬂe,~prpared for an
einergeney. From the thick screen
of balsams Challoner peered forth,
.then made a hole through which
Nanette might look at the cage and
its prisoner. For a moment or two
she held her breath as she watched
Neewa pacing back and forth, very
much excited now. Then she gave
a little cry, and Challoner felt her
ﬁngers pinch his own sharply. Be-
fore he knew what she was about to
do she had thrust herself through
the screen of balsams.

Close to the log'prison, faithful

to his comrade in the hour of peril, ..

lay Miki. He was exhausted from
digging at’the earth under the lower
log, and he had not smelled or heard
anything of the presence of others
until he saw Nanette standing not
twenrty paces away. His heart leapt
up into his panting throat. He swal—
lowed, as thought to get rid of a
great lump, he stared. And then,
With a sudden, yearning whine, he
sprang toward her. With a yell
Challoner leapt out of the balsams
with uplifted axe. But before the axe
could fall], Miki was in Nanette’s
arms, and Challoner dropped his
weapon with a gasp of amazement——
and one Word: ' '

‘fMIKIl”

Mootag looking on in stupid aston—
ishment, sa-w both the man and the
woman making a great fuss over a
strange and wild-looking beast that
looked as if it ought to be killed.
They had forgotten the bear. And
Miki, wildly 'oyous at ﬁnding his
beloved mastr and mistress, had
forgotten him also.. it was a pro—
digious whoof from Neewa himself
that brought their attention to him.
Li]: .a. ﬂash Miki_was back at the
,pen- smelling of ‘Neewa’s snout be-‘
tween two of the logs, and withra
great wagging of tail trying to make
him understand what had happened.

slowly, with a thought born in his-

head that made him oblivious of all
else but the big black brute in the

pen, Challoner approached the trap.»

Was it possible that Miki could
have made friends with any other
bear than the cub of long ago? He
drew in a deep breath as he‘ looked
at them. Neewa’s brown—tipped nose
was thrust between 'two ,0f the logs
and Miki was licking it with his
tongue! He held out a hand to Na—
nette, and when she came to him
he pointed for a space, without
speaking.

Then he said:

“It is. the cub, Nanette. You know
——the cub I have told you about.
They’ve stuck together all this time
——-ever since I killed the cub’s-moth-
er a year and a haulage, and tied
them together on a piece'ot rope. I
understand now why Miki ran away
from us when we were at the cabin.
He went back—to the bear.”

A Sensible View

EP. PETER B. LENNON, of Genesee

county who is touring the state in be-

half of the proposed state income tax, takes a

most sensible view of appropriations and taxes
when he says:

"When I entered the Legislature in 1919, I
'went in with the intention of slashing every ap-
propriation in sight. I did not believe so much
money was needed to properly maintain our in-
stitutions. After my experience in two sessions
of the Legislature and becoming conversant with
conditions in all our state institutions, I say with-
out hesitation that not one of them has received
more than it needs. and some of them are getting
along on funds greatly inadequate. I have been
in quite a number of counties in Central and
Southern Michigan in the last few months. I ﬁnd
that the taxes run from twenty to sixty dollars
on a‘thousand dollars assessed valuation. The
time has come when it is not only a question oi!
keeping up our institutions but it is a question
of saving the homes of the great rank and ﬁle
of the people of this state.”

The tax payer does not seem to understand
that a large per cent of institutional expendi-
tures authorized by recent legislatures are for
improvements which should have been made
years ago. Institutions which were adequate
ten years ago have become so crowded that it
is a great problem to take care of new arrivals.
This is true of nearly every educational, penal
and insane institution in the state.

V of enlarging quartersto meet growing demands

nearly every legislature has pursued the short-
sighted course of “passing the buck” to the
succeeding legislature. Like taking a dose of
bitter medicine they have been putting it OE
from year to year until the time has come
when public safety demands action. We have
discovered these facts by personal observa-
tions, and while we urge the utmost economy
in state expenditures we realize, with Peter
Lennon, that many millions of dollars must be
spent in the near future to enlarge the over-
taxed facilities of our essential institutions.
But as Mr. Lennon also says these must be
ﬁnanced from a different source than taxes on
real estate. The farms of Michigan can stand
no greater load. A part of the burden must
be shifted. The state income tax is the logical
methods to gain the desired ends. '

with a maximum rate of 50 per cent on for-

approximately one-third of the national
wealth, is owned by 23,000 persons. Some of

The majority of these huge fortunes are the
result of the exploitation of the natural re-
sources or government subsidy in the nature
of free grants of land, exemption from taxa-
tion, tariﬂis, etc. In his kind indulgence Uncle
Sam has not only provided generously for fath-
er, mother sister, brother, aunt, uncle, niece
and nephew, but for their children and chil-
dren’s children “even unto the fourth and ﬁfth
generations.” These fortunes handed down
from one generation to another steadily in-

crease until no man knoweth what proportions '

they may some day reach unless they are taxed
and curtailed.

Wealth earned by the sweat of the brow is
often a blessing to the possessor and mankind
in general, but inherited wealth is nearly al-
ways a curse which blights the ambitiOn and
ruins the moral nature'of the beneﬁciary. Since
great wealth “cannot be made except by. spe-
cial dcspensations of the people, a large share
of such wealth should be returned to the peo-
ple when the possessor dies. 0‘

This the LaFollette bill would .do. When the *

owner of $100,000,000 worth oprroperty dies
40 per cent of it or $40,000,000 Would go to
the government and $60,000,000 to the heirs.
Think what such a tax would mean in revenue
to the government and what a tremendous
burden of taxation it would remove from the
shoulders of those least able to bear it. '

Opposition to conmty- agents by  dealers 2'-

and unfriendly farm organizations'hae reach-
.ed such proportions that Congress {is being
flooded with petitions for the» repeal of the
Smith-Lever act, under which the cOunty ag-
ent receives federal pay. The situation has be-
come so alarming that Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Pugsley ‘has issued a warning to
county agents to refrain" from doing taught

that could convict them of the» charge of us-_‘

ing government funds for the interest of one
class at the expense of another. H '

We cannot think of a single good reason why
the federal government should grant any lﬁnd
of a subsidy to farmersvwhich is, denied others.
But the {government is doing that yery thing
when ‘ it- pays the county agent {or actively

The county agent is a valuablefjtindividual.
The best test of the effectiveness, of his work

,. is the growing opposition among these 'who

have suffered from the competition of his or-
ganizing efforts. But the county agent'lives
in continual fear, of official rebuke and is con-
stantly hampered by" oﬂicious “yOu musn’t
do this” and “you musn’t do that”.
should be a free lance to work without fear or
favor for the advancement of agricuture. He
should, be cut loose from the Chains of govern-
ment dictation. But this cannot be done so
long as the government pays him. Let him
be paid by the farmers and made solely re-
sponsible to the farmers, and he will become a
doubly valuable person. ' v

 

Better \Times . » ‘
HE Chemical National Bank of New
"York notes, and rightly, that the farmer

‘ has received but a comparatively small bene-

ﬁt from the advancing prices on farm pro-
ducts. The. unthinking public is apt to be led
astray by these price increases and assume
that ,the farmer is receiving the major beneﬁt.
Times are. much better just now than they
were six months ago. Factories are starting
up, men are going back to work"; the farmers

“are buying again; But the truth of the mat-

ter is that the better business surge is not en-
tirely or even. primarily the result of an actual
increase; in the farmers’ purchasing powee but
the psychological eﬂf’ect which higher prices
have had upon his spending proclivitics. The
Chemical National Ban-k puts the...situation in
its proper light When it says: “The.

ment in the prices of agriculturalproducts‘.

That there are ,delinquent girls
ﬁa'n” immoral women goes without
they are
with. us-—that they have always been
with ue.’ With my bible open before
me an' readin’ from its pages, I
ﬁnd that even in 01' testament times
we had—-well we’d call ’em vamps
now, an? all, down through the pages
of that great book we read of the
immorality of women an’ occasional-
ly of men—when the Savior walked

sin was with us——-the woman who
was brought before Him to be stoned
was a delinquent ’ girl—’member
»what He said? Neither do I cb‘ndemn
thee, go thy way and sin no more!
Count back a hundred years ago, a
thousand years—back since the
world was young an’ you’ll ﬁnd we
had the same condition we have to-
day.

' Remember this—'—there can be no
immoral women unless there are
immoral men—no woman can be im-
moral by herself. An’ yet the shame
an' the disgrace-always falls on the
woman. In the discussions hereto-
fore I have referred to the present;
style of dress an’ it’s relation to the
morals of our youth.

I said then, an’ I say now, dress 

has absolutely nothin’ to do with the
matter—if a. girl or woman wants to .
go wrong, dress, long or short, will
not save her—if she wants to be
sweet an’ good, dress long or short,
will not keep her from it.

Common decency an’ common
sense keeps our girls good—they are
good. The majority of our girls are
jest as sweet an’ ﬁne as the girls
of any age has ever been. I ’mem-
ber well when I wuz young the older
folks were wonderin’ what would be—

'Well I’ve seen ’em grow into w‘oman-
h'ood—wifehood an’ motherhood ——
jest as ﬁne an’ good an’ splendid as
ever the world produced, an’ I be—
lieve in our. girls now jest as much
as I ever did in all my life.

' It may seem that there is more
delinquency now then in the years
gone by—you know we never; used

 

to have social service workers to
check up on every girl that made a
misstep. We didn’t read sex matters
in the papers as we read 'em‘now,
’cause it was not proper to print
such stuff in the back ages. But——
my dear friend we had conditions
then jest as we have ’em now—there
were, delinquent girls and immoral
There was everything we

standard that damns a woman an’

will we have delinquency in girls an’
we’ll have it in boys but we’ll pass
it by in the boys—“They must sow
their Wild oats” don’t chew know.
“They’ll be all right when they get a

Making the Hole _ '
 blasting stumps, the ﬁrst thing to do is to.
make the hole to receive the charge of dynamite.- . L

The hole is made by driving a crowbar or drlv: “
lug-iron, or boring with a soil auger, at an angle
to the stump, through its roots, to a depth of thirty
inches to four feet. Make sure that the charge is
placed directly beneath the most ﬁrmly ﬁxed-part
of the stump. '

i The subsequent step in stump blasting will be it

 

For utmost economy use Dumorite -tho new
Du Pont Farm Dynamite. It has the heaving '
action of 20% dynamite and the strength of “40%”
stick for stick. And at the price of 100 sticks of

40%”, you can buy 135 to 140 sticks of Dumorito.
This means that you can blast one-third more
stumps per dollar. Dumorite is non-headache
and non-freezing. Buy it at your local dealer’s.

ith us. in one form or another and
p qbably always will. Her predecescl
star was the dude of twenty years
go who was known in his commu—
nity by his loud clothes, his vacu-
(‘rus stare and his fresh remarks. He
5was the masher who stood upon the
street-corner not to be heard of men
but to be seen of women.

The ﬂapper may be bold, self—as-

knows nothing and cares less but
‘rbecause she is in industry today,
working hard. supporting herself
and spending her own meney, fool-

she feels her oats. We hope she
wiilcalm down and take herself and
‘the World more seriously, will learn

in time to seek the things of real
value.

Down deep in her heart every wo-
man or girl knows Whether she is

attention is not modest whether it

‘ be high or low, long or short. No
right-minded girl wishes to call at-

of so much worry to editors. A right

right living and right dressing. Does,
not that take us back to the inﬂu—

father and mother ﬁrst of all? The
old-fashioned home with the chance

cure for the ﬂapper. Can you blame
.'her for seeking the dance-hall, the
mavie and the street when she lives
in a tiny apartment with rooms so
~small that there is scarcely room to
live in comfort? She is the result
of economic conditions and over-
crowded population and she has my
1  sympathy.

third annual convention in
Washington, D. C. It has been
'_’international in character, with .rep—

South America was well represented;
V also the island republics such as
'Cuba, Haiti and Porto Rico. Canada
sent a large delegation. Her women
are taking a big interest in the civic
}and political life of the Dominion.
w such a convention of women could
‘not help but have an educative and
broadening effect on those attending
and should strengthen the ties of

to so many mothers. It is not taxes
so much we are worrying about as
it is the Welfare of our children.

Once more—we read and hear so
much about disarmament. Why, oh
why, do we see so many air—riﬂes,
little twenty-two’s and shot guns
parading all over the country in the
hands of boys no more than little
children? Can’t we mothers begin
early in life to instill a little horror
in regard to the taking of life? Why
not teach them that there is no real
pleasure in taking the lives of our
little friends of the woods. no mat-
ter how good a marksman they are.
Perhaps by so doing we can save
many an accident to life and eye-
sight among those we so dearly love.

May it continue to prosper and stand

HOW MOTHER CLEANS HOUSE
LLEANING time‘is here once more

We must have lots of air and light:
If we would do this cleaning right
It’s cleaning time,

Just take the curtains, pictures, books
All down from their accustomed nooks~
Take everything from ml! the wall
And move the stove out in the hall.
It's cleaning time,

’ Remove the things from of! the rug,

Then roll it up and lift and tux

Un l you’ve got the thing out door

My mother does this cleaning right,
She» moves out everything in sight,
Then father seeks the farthest fields
Does not come in except for meals.-
\ At cleaning time.

There’s furniture within, without
Our things are scattered all about,
While mother sweats and scrubs with vim
Befhre she makes our house look trim.-
At cleaning time.

To get a broom. a mop. a chair:
And there is source a place to meet
When it is time for us to out.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

wDear Uncle Ned—~The Children’s Hour
vis quite niCe and I would like to join it.
We have taken the M. B. F. for a little
more than a year. and we all like it
well. It seems everybody does. I like
all, the departments but especially the
story. “Nomads of the North." I think
it is just beautiful, and very interesting.
You should understand that I am always
interested about nature, and I think this
; tory has quite a lot about it. The next
est part is the Children’s Hour. I sup-
pose you might think I do not like it as
well as, the story, because I put it down
second. but you see I am a great story—
.lover and they always come ﬁrst in my
mind. I think if the children who have
any stories 'or- poems would send them
in (and I think there are many who have)
it would make this corner so much more
interesting. I enclose a poem that I have
composed. I have many others. I am a
.girl twelve years _old and in the seventh
grade. I remain your niece.—Milda Bara-
vyx, R. 2, Branch, Mich.
Signs of Spring

When pussy-willows wake from sleeping,

When the birds come back and sing,

.When the soft, green grass
creeping, '

‘Then we know it is spring.

When -the days are bright and sunny,
When it thunders with the rain.
When the bee starts search for honey,
We know it is spring again.

Dear Uncle Ned—I am a girl fourteen
'years old. my birthday was the fourteenth
of April. I live on a tWO-hundred-acre
farmul am in the seventh grade. We
have ten grades in our school. There

‘ are two rooms. My father. takes the M.

B. F. and likes it reabwell. This is the
ﬁrst year we have taken it and we like

i 'it so well we will try and take it right

along. We all enjoy reading

“Yeh, quit "and‘ play safe.’—Franc’es V.
Levin, Vicksburg. R. 4, Mich.

 

Dear Uncle Ned—I have written to .the
Children’s Hour twice‘ but the last time
.it was not printed so I thought I would
write again as I never get discouraged
because I know we have only a small
space for our letters. It is the same
,way with everything we do, never get
discouraged. Let these three words be
our motto and I think we will all succeed.
I think some kind of a. discussion would
be very nice.

I think the country is better than the
city, but maybe it’s because I have
never lived in a large city, although I
have lived in quite a large town. It may
be easier in the city but it doesn't hurt
us to work especially in the nice fresh
country air. In the country one is most
always sure of fresh, clean water which
is one of the great blessings to humanity.
It is usually better because it generally
comes from springs. One is not so
liable to get tuberculosis because the air
is more ‘fresh and pure. We once had a
debate at our school. “Which is best the
Country or City,” and the judges declared
the city had won. But I do not agree
with them yet because we all know where
there are many people the air is not near
so pure as it is where there is a small
population. The same way with disease.
There are usually more people about and.
they are liable to-bring disease germs.
I have had the measles, mumps, whoop—
ing cough and chicken pox, but it was-
while I went to town school. I am thirteen
years of age. With best wishes to Uncle
Ned and the cousins.———Margaret Rem-
nant. Chelsea, R. 2, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned—~I was nine years old
the 20th of February, and got lots of nice
presents. I wish the children had more
room for the letters. There are 15 chil-
dren in our school. I have been through
two readers this year and am in another
one. I have a pet hen. We have four
cows and a calf, and mamma has thirty-
two little chickens. Our neighbor moved
away but before they went they held a
sale and my sister and I went over to
the sale from school and we came home
crosslots. and we got in the water to
our waist and we were a long ways from
home. It happened right in February. I
have two big dolls. one had electric eyes.
I am going to have a garden and papa
has plowed it. I will close with love.—

.Hazel Potter, Penﬁeld. R. 1, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned—May I join your
merry circle? My father .take "the M.
B. F. and I like to read the Children’s
Hour. I have 2 sisters and 4 brothers.
I am 13 years old, my birthday is the
2nd of January. I have a twin brother
and sister. I live on an 80—acre farm.
We have 3 horses and) colt. and 7

- pigs. 10 cows and a calf. We have about
1 1-2 miles to go to school. I like my
teacher. I wish some of the girls and
boys would write to me. With love to
Uncle Ned and cousins.~——Mary Friend,
Glennie. Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned—I live in the town of
Remus. ,mostly, although we have an
80-acre I‘farm three and one half miles
from town. My-father is a rural carrier
on Route 3. He has carried mail since
1905. I am now his substitute carrier and
hope to take examination for regular car-
rier this summer. I do not go to school
any more as_I have passed the tenth
grade. My age is seventeen years and my
birthday is on Armistace day. Nov. 11.
Hope to hear from some of the boy and
girl readers of M. B. F.—-Carl E. Weeks,

Guardians of the Circuits

The telephone at your elbow seems so simple an instrument, it
does its work so quietly and quickly, that it is difﬁcult to realize the
vast and complex equipment, the delicate and manifold adjustments.
the ceaseless human care "behind the scenes" in the central ofﬁces.

Behind the scenes is the terminal of all the underground and
overhead lines on the streets and highways. Here are the cable
vaults; the great steel frames containing the thousands of separate
wires and fuses for the subscribers' lines; the dynamos and storage
batteries; the giant switchboards through which your telephone is
connected with the other thirteen million telephones in the Bell
System.

And here, in charge of this equipment, are the guardians of the
circuits—the wire chief and his assistants—master electricians and
experts in telephony. Their ﬁrst duty is the prevention of "trouble."
By day and by night they are constantly testing the central ofﬁce
equipment, the overhead and underground lines, the subscribers'
individual wires. And when. from some cause beyond control.
"trouble" does occur, nine times out of ten it is repaired before the
telephone subscriber suffers the slightest inconvenience.

It is the skill of the men behind the scenes, together with scientiﬁc
development and construction, efﬁcient maintenance and operation,
which make it possible for you to rely upon the telephone day
and night. ‘

FEEDING 0F BABY CHICKS
UCH of the success of our lay-
. ing pens depends upon the way

in which the chicks have been'

reared and grown. Good healthy ro-
bust chicks mean strong vigorous
layers capable of a. large and profit-
able Winter production.

The chicks should receive no set-
backs from the time they are
hatched until they are placed in the
laying pens. This can most easily
be avoided by practicing limited, or

retarded early feeding. The_appetite _

of the chick must be closely watched
and, the amount of feed fed, regu-
lated so that they will always be
hungry and keen for the next meal.

Nature has, provided the chick
with a. “bread-basket” containing
sufficient food to last three or four
days. Before the chick emerges
from the shell, the remainder of the
yolk which has been used for nour-
ishing the growing embryo is ab-
sorbed into the intestine. For this
reason limited early feeding should
be practiced until the yolk is com—
pletely assimilated by the chick,

FIRST DAY—After incubation the
chicks should be left in the incubator
to “harden off.” During warm weath-
er the incubator door may be opened
slightly to provide a good supply of
fresh air and reduce the tempera,-
ture within'the machine.

SECOND DAY—Remove chicks to
the brooding quarters which have
previously .been heated. Clean White
sand makes an ideal ﬂoor covering.
for the ﬁrst two weeks. The chicks
will 'pick at. and consume sufﬁcient
of these gritty soil particles Which
are essential in getting the digestive
tract in good working order and
ready for the ﬁrst feed. SOur, skim
milk, or buttermilk should be pro-
vided in shallow dishes.
of the milk has a beneﬁcial effect
on the digestiVe system of the chick,
having a tendency to control or re—
duce the development of Bacillary
White Diarrhea organisms. The food
value of the skim milk also stimu-
lates the chick, causing rapid growth
and developing strong resistance.

THIRD DAY—The initial food
given should be easily seen and nu-
tritious. The growing embryo was
developed on raw egg, so by using
the infertile eggs that were taken
out at the ﬁrst test and carefully

'preserved in a cool place we have an

ideal starter.

Mix two handfuls of clean bran,

two handfuls of rolled oats (break~

fast food) and one raW'egg. This,

proportion should give the proper
consistency and makes a. very palat-
able and nutritious chick food. Feed
ﬁve times, every two and one-half
hours apart.
able throughout the growing season.

FOURTH .DAY—’—-Feed commercial
chick feed twice. Feedegg mixture
three times at regular
throughout.

FIFTH TO FOURTEENTH~ DAY
—-Two feeds of commercial chick
feed, three feeds of » egg mixture,
one feed of green food, sprouted
oats preferred. Place bran. in. ﬂat

be Of utmosit interest, to poultry

raisers who" have had” serious losses

from White Diarrhea. We will let

Mrs. Bradshaw tell of her experience

in her own words: , '
“Gentlemen: I see reports of so‘

many losing their little chickswith

WhiteDiarrhea, so thought I would

tell my experience. I used to lose a A

great many from this cause, tried

many remedies and was about dis-

couraged. As-a last resort I sent to ‘

the Walker Remedy 00., Dept. 687, \

Waterloo, Iowa, for their We.le

White Diarrhea Remedy. I used two

BOO-packages. raised - 300 White

Wyandottes and never lost one or had

one sick after giving the medicine

and my chickens are larger and

healthier than ever before. I have .

found this'company thoroughly re-

liable and always get the remedy by

return mail.-——-Mrs..  M. Bradshaw,

Beaconsﬁeld, Iowa.’ ‘

Cause of White Diarrhea
White Diarrhea is 'caused by_
the Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum.
‘This germ is transmitted to the
baby chick through the yolk of the
newly hatched egg. Readers are
warned to beware of White Diar-
rhea. Don’t wait until it kills half
your chicks. Take the “stitch in .
time ’that saves nine.” Remember,
there is scarcely a hatch without
some infected chicks. Don't let these .
few infect your entire-ﬂock: Pre- "
vent it. Give Walko in all drinking v

 

’water for the ﬁrst ﬁve weeks and

you won’t lose one chick where you
lost hundreds before. These letters

, prove it:

Never Lost a Single Chick
Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share .
of chicks from White Diarrhea. Fin- -.
ally I sent for two packages of
Walko. I raised over 500 chicks and
I never lost a single chick“ from
White Diarrhea. Walko not only
prevents White Diarrhea, but it gives
the chicks strength and vigor; they”
develop quicker and feather earlier.”

Never Lost One After First Dose
Mrs. Ethel Rhodes, Shennandoah,
Iowa, writes: “My ﬁrst" incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, be-
gan to die by the dozens with White
-Diarrhea. I tried different remedies
and was about discouraged with the ‘ v 1
chicken business. Finally, I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo,
Iowa, for a box of their Walko White
Diarrhea Remedy. It’s just the only ~
thing for this terrible disease. We .
raised 700 thrifty, hbalthy chicks _._
and never lost a single chick after
the ﬁrst dose.”

You Run NoRiskz

‘ ‘WM’s Timon-Not a Poison.

Rats cost farmer-s over two, , hundred
millions of dollars a your. Waugh the
destruction of grain, poultry and build-
ings. Farmers need rid-longer  er this
loss because they   kl oi! all

Week's thus.  'ispossibl'e through the
remarkable-discovery of E. R. Alexander.

/ a Kansas City =.chennist, who has per‘

fected a virus which kills rats, mice and
gophers asthdug‘h ly'magic. This pro-
duct is not "a poison—311‘. can? be eaten
by‘ human beings or any animal on the
farm as safely as their _ regular food.

   

This wonderful rat virus, which is
lmo‘Wn as Alexander Rat-Killer, is mere-
ly mixed with bread or meat scraps and ,
placed where rats, mice or' gophers can
get to it. Within a few' hours after a.
rat has eaten Alexander Rat-Killer he
gets a high fever and suffers a terrible
thirst- He leaves the barns and nesting
holes and goes to the open ﬁelds in search
of pure air and running water. Rats and

mice aﬂected always die away from the _

barns and “houses so there is no odor.

It'is a scientiﬁc fact that one rat at-
fects others and soon the whole colony
leaves the buildings and dies. And though
this virus is absolutely deadly to rats——
chickens, hogs, cattle or any farm animal
can eat it and not be affected at all.

So conﬁdent is Mr. Alexander that

Alexander Rat-Killer will kill every rat
on your farm in less than a week's time
that he offers to send. .as an introductory
offer, a regular $2.00 tube for only $1.00.
Give it according to directions, and if at
the end of a week’s time you are able to
discover any rats, mice or gophers on
your farm, your money will be refunded.
A big Kansas City bank guarantees that
Mr. Alexander is'reliable and will do as
he says. '
' Send NO MONEY. Just write to E. R.
Alexander, Alexander. Laboratories, 263
Gateway Station. Kansas City, Mo., and
the tube will be mailed at once. When
it arrives, pay the postman only one
dollar and postage on the guarantee that
if not absolutely satisfactory your money
will be returned without question. Write

_ What should “be used dor spraying a
two-yearoid.ap§le, 'lum, pear and cherry
orchard? There is '0 scale at, present.
At what time' in the spring should
the straw. covering be removed from
overbearing strawberry plants. or‘ would
it'be advisable to leave it on and let
the plants grow up through it? .
Last year We set out seventy-ﬁve
blackberry and raspberry lants, the
Elder-ado, Golden Queen and umber-land.
During the summer  made a growth
of seVer‘al feet and la on the ground
instead ct standing upr ght. What is the“
best kind of a support for them?—E. R...
Arenao County.

Since there is no scab and the
trees. are not old enough to bear the
object of spraying is to protect the
foliage. Either Bordeaux 'or the 1
to 35 lime-sulphur solution as a fung-
icide, may be used on apple, pear,
cherry or European plums, but
should not be put on peach or Japa-
nese plum, as even a much weaker
solution will take off the, foliage.
This should keep the leaves free

from scab, shot-hole fungus and
others of the common fungous
diseases. “

For the beneﬁt of the cutting or
chewing insects, the worms and
beetles, arsenate of lead is added
to the solutions at the rate of one
pound of the powder or three of the
paste to 50 gallons. This will dis-
pose of leaf-rollers, tent caterpillars,
canker worms and several others in
their season. '

If there are no blossoms on the
trees the spray may be used at any!
time after the buds have opened“
Repeat in about tWo weeks and af—
terwards as often as insects appear.

Should there be any green aphids
on apple or pear, or black aphis on
the cherry, they should at once be
given a. nicotine spray and it should
be done before the; leaves have
curled. otherwise it is difﬁcult to
make an effective application. Black-
.leaf 40 is the remedy most common-~
ly used. One pint of it is sufﬁcient
for 100 gallons of water. Soap added
to it makes it more effective. Any
kind may be used, but ﬁsh-oil is
preferred. Four or ﬁve pounds are

of the nicotine solution. This is a
contact spray, which is the only
kind effective for aphids.

Uncover overbearing strawberries
when you' do the common, varieties.
If the cover is thin it need not be
removed, but ~there should not be
enough to interfere with the growth
of the plants. _

Perhaps as serviceable a support
as any is a wire stretched along the
row and 2 1-2 or 3 feet above the
gound. Cut back the cones and tie
up. g

 

THINNING STRAWBERRY

which was planted in rows, but is now
"a solid mass. They should be thinned,
but what is the best method of doing so?
When is the best time to set strawberry‘
plants?-—-—-A. J. M.. Saginaw County.

One method is to plow along the
old rows, leaving the new plants
between the rows. The furrows are
then cultivated smooth, making a
place for the runners next summer,
thus renewing the bed. "

Another way is to take a hoe or
spud, and go at it, chopping out the
old plants and thinning the others.
The result may be a smaller yield,
but larger fruit. Which method is
the more suitable to your case can
best be“told by one who has seen
the bed.

Strawberries may be planted at
any time after spring opens till‘the
middle of May, or some years even
later. But most growers prefer to
set them as early as-they can. '

“I had a cream separator
that I had been using and
thought was all right. I have
five cows and had been selling
cream and feeding skim-milk
to hogs as fast as separated. A
few days ago, I sold the hogs
and left the skimmed  in
the can. The next day I noticed
cream on it. I was so sur-
prisea that I skimmed it off
by hand, churned 'it and made
one pound and six ounces of
butter. ‘ .

' .“It took little figuring to
show' how much cream I had'
been feeding my hogs each
day. ,I figured I had paid the
price of a No. 15 De Lava
every six mon ." '

This letter is typical of many
letters we receive; ' ,

Perhaps this same thing is‘
happening to you and you
don’t realize it. If you are us-
ing an old or partly worn—out
separator, or are skimming by
hand, undoubtedly you are
wasting enough cream to pay
for a De Laval in a short time.
The waste of cream occuring
every day is criminal—more
than enough to pay for the en-
tire output of the De Laval

'Factory.  ‘ 

Most any kind of cream sep—
Tarator will do fairly good work
the first few months, when it
is new. But if it is cheaply 1
made, after the first few
months your trouble will begin.

And the worst of your ex-
perience with such a machine
Willino: be the fact that it
wears out. quickly or that it
runs hard, ’or that you are pil—
ing up repair expenses, but
that you are losing a lot of
butter—fat. '

Why take chances at all
when you can get a De Faval
Which-has won hundreds of
prizes, thousands of contests,,
and is used by millons. Ex-
perience has proved that it is
the best cream separator to
buy, and in the long run the
cheapest. * ~

and senior championship at the
Michigan State Fair and fourth place
at the Inter-national, of 1919.
While we frequently hear it said
that the bull is three-quarters of the
herd, the Prescott ﬁrm is not de-
pendlng ‘on bulls, alone, for they
have onset the ﬁnest herds of pure-
bred cows the writer has ever seen;
after studying the lineage of these‘
wonderful producers, the visitor no
longer marvels at what he has seen.
The 'familiar names of Duthie,
Cruickshank, Bruce, Marr, Willis
and Shepherd are to be seen 'fre-
quently, when studying the pedigrees
of the Prescott cattle; this ﬁrm is
safe in assuming. that breeding and
individuality, that was good enough
for the Shorthorn breedersof the
old world, is quite good enough for
them and for all. who in the future,
may see ﬁt to purchase their cattle.
A royal welcome and a delightful
experience awaitsthe inhabitants of
Michigan and neighboring states who

.love the fellowship of good cattle

and the companionship of a con—
structive breeder. George A Pres-

, cott, Jr., who directs the agricultural

and breeding activities of Richland
Farms, is never sovhappy as when
he is showing his Shorthorns and
explaining the system of selection
and the methods of cross-breeding
which have brought this herd to its
present state of perfection. ‘

Since the above was written, word
has come to this Office of the death

,ot‘ Sterling Supreme. The passing of

this wonderful bull must be regard-
ed, not only as a great loss to the
Richland-Farms breeding enterprise,
but to the Shorthorn interests of the
entire country.

TUBERCULIN TEST

Will you please explain how to read
the‘second tuberculin test where Kocho
Old Tuberculin triple strength is used.
Also how soon can this be used after ﬁrst
test?———E. J. P..Dowaglac, Mich. '

The bacillus of tuberculosis was
discovered by Robert Koch in 1882
and I doubt if any of his tuberculin
is on the market at the present time.
If it is I would advise you to use
something stronger than triple
strength. If the ﬁrst test to which
you refer was applied at that time
I believe you wo'uld be safe‘in ap-
plyink the second test at your ear—
liest convenience. The tuberculin test
came, into existence thru 'the most‘

«careful and thorOugh scientiﬁc ex-

perimentation. In practice it is ap-
plied by ﬂrst taking the. temperature}
of the animal to be tested, at inter-
vals of two hours, six of these tem-
peratures should'be taken to thor—
normal tem-
perature of the body under the or-
dinary conditions Of life. The proper
dose of tuberculin is then injected
under the skin with a «hypodermic
syringe. The injection is generally
made late in the evening, and the
temperature is taken every two
hours the followimg day, beginning
early in the morning and continu-
ing until late in the evening, if the
fullest information is desired. If the
animal reacts the rise of . tem-
perature begins about eight hours
after the tuberculin is .in-
jected, reaches its greatest height
from the sixteenth to the twentieth

' hours, and then gradually/declines,

reaching normal again byl?’the twen-
n sooner.
Cattle should be tested twice a-year

TRADE AND BUSINESS REVIEW
HE prediction that

' wide business revival would
materialize during the current
spring months has been frequently
made in this department during the
last 60 days; the revival is now a
fact and there is a fair prospect,
that before the season is over, some
important new records will be estab-
lished. Reports, concerning con-

“ ' struction work in April. show that

a start has been made on under-
takings that, in the aggregate. will
cost nearly $50,000,000; this is 10

V per cent gain over last month and

78 per cent larger than for April
of last year. Probably never before
in the history ..of this country, was
the demand for good reliable in-
vestments so imperative. With call
money at 3 1-2 on the New York
Stock Exchange, acceptﬂes easy
tending lower, we are reminded of
the'interesting fact that the country
is full of idle money the owners of
which are vainly trying to devise
some way to keep it working.
Reports from all of the great cen-
ters of population, show a decided
improvement in the unemployment
situation and there is now good rea-
son to believe that before the sum-
mer is over the American ‘em-
ployer of labor will be up against a
wage scale and a scarcity of skilled
men equal to the conditions which
prevailed during the late world war.
Activity is the watchword in con-
nection with the production of all
basic materials and ﬁnished pro—
ducts. Steel mills, iron foundries and
coke ovens and automobile plants
are dropping behind in their deliv—
eries. Prices for raw wool are gain-
ing strength every day and the goods

market is more active‘than at any,

preceding date since the armistice
was signed. There is ,on every hand,
a feeling that the American farmer
has passed the turn in the road and
that before the year is over he will
have his nerve all back and will be
functioning normally.

The activity on the stock ex-
changes of the country, which fea-
tured the early weeks of the spring,
still continue. All of the “dividend-
payers” are in demand at gradually
hardening values and the outlook for
the midsummer business on ’change
is very encouraging. The weekly
bank clearings made a. new record
fer the season; the ﬁgures are $7,-
690,931,000.

WHEAT,

May 10th—For a week back the
wheat market has been the victim
of very conﬂicting news and prices
dropped from a high on the Detroit
market of $1.43 to $1.37 the last
of the week. As we go to press the
feeling is better and the trade is

vival of demand and higher prices.
No matter how favorable may be
the growing weather from now ~on
in the wheat belt it is an assured
certainty that the total crop will
be less than 'a year ago. Acreage
in many other important countries
of both spring and fall wheat is a.

triﬂe larger and judging from pres—.

ent indications the total world crop
for 1922 will not be far, out of line
with the 1921 crop. This simply
means that we must live another
year from hand to mouth. with no
surplus to store away for future use.
That wheat prices on the- old crop
will vary between the present low
of $1.37 and $1.50 is the general
belief of the trade.

period in the corn market but on
Monday, May 8, the market de-
veloped ﬁrmness that continues in
evidence. Good weather in the

large acreage of corn owing to re-
stricted seeding of oats this spring

OATS

May Nth—Oats have reached a.
new high since over a year back. The
huge supplies which have glutted
terminal markets for months have
been gradually 'mov‘ed and the mar-
ket is responding accordingly. Oats
acreage completed and contemplated
indicates a decrease 4 of 4,576,000
acres or in excess of 10 per cent.
Seeding has been delayed consider-
ably in the southwest beeauSe of
the extremely wet weather. It is
noted that a delayed season usually
results in increased acreage and the
harvest is usually good.

RYE
The rye market has responded to
the better feeling in wheat and has
failed to suffer so much from sell-
ing pressure. Some export business
is being done. Prices are consid-
ered too low on this grain-and there
are prospects of a fair advance. be-
fore another crop. The condition of
the new crop is good, taking the
country as a whole, with very little
abandonment of acreage. The esti-

dressed a circular letter to the bean
trade in which this statement was
made: “We have a quantity of choice
Kotenashi beans. These beans run‘
very uniform in quality and will
soak and cook as good as Michigan
stock." While no doubt this or any
other company is perfectly justiﬁed
in dealing in Kotenashi beans, it
would seem that it is- pursuing a
most injurious policy when it seeks
to create in the minds of the bean
trade a belief that Japanese beans
are as good as the home—grown

POTATOES -

. “My boys saved exactly $400 on
their potatoes by taking the advice
of the BusineSs Farmer,”
man to the editor the other day.
“They insisted on selling just at the
time ,when prices were down to their
lowest point, but I urged them to
take the advice, of the M. B. F.
which they did. Today they can
get 30 cents a bushel more for their
when they
wanted'to sell.” ‘ ’ ' '

As ,Dr. Horner of the M. A. C.
says, “Ithis dangerous to prophesy. '
The correct predictions are soon for-
gotten, but a wrong one is remem-
bered forever.” -It pleases us im-
mensely to know that these boys
saved money [by taking our advice.
We hope many others did also. The
Michigan potato market has had a
wonderful come-back the last ten
days though it is slightly weaker
Opinions as to
the wind-up on this market do not
amount to much. Some expect to
see a strong, ﬁnish; others a weak
ﬁnish. Much will depend upon the
volume of new potatoes from the
south. Many farmers can sell now
at 90 cents or more per bushel,
which is a fair price.’ Whether a
man can afford to take a gamble on
the trend of ’the market the next
six weeks hoping for higher prices
is something he" must decide for him-
self without suggestion from us.
