f“ CHAPTER I
Was. an ,new—smo'st of it singu-
".}dramatic and even ailing
.to the woman who sat h ,the
l-g‘r‘ay veil drawn. closely about
her face. For eighteen hours she
been}, keenly attentive, wide-
”;andpartly frightened bit of
~ amenity in this onrush o_f,“the
,Orfdel" .She had heard a voice be-
. ind her‘spfeak of it as “the horde”
~25 d-eep,'thick, gruff voice which
aha knew without looking had ‘ﬁlt—
QM itsway through a beard:
agreed with the voice.
.rdﬂorde—that horde which ,has always

fbeaten the trails ahead for civiliza-’

‘ tion and made of its own ﬂesh and

.‘ blood the foundation of nations. For

ﬁrmOnths it had been pouring steadily
’.v-"l;:!t0 the mountains—Taiways in and
_'never out, a. laughing, shouting,
"singing, blaspheming Horde, every
ounce of it toughened sinew and red
,_ x» brawn, except the Straying Angles.
w _-0ne of these sat opposite her, a dark-
" ﬂayed girl with over-red lips and hol-
lowed cheeks, and she heard the
{bearded man say something to his
r-__companions about “dizzy dolls” and
the little angel in the other seat."
This same voice, gruffened in its
board, had told her that ten thous-
and of the Horde had gon‘e up ahead
of them. Then it whispered some-
thing that made her hands suddenly
tighten and a hot ﬂush sweep
through her. She lifted her veil and
'rose slowly from her seat, as if to
-~rearrange her dress. Casually she
looked straight into the faces of the
7 bearded man and his companion in
lithe seat behind. They stared. After
that she heard nothing more of the
Straying Angels, but only a widely
“mysterious confabulation about
f‘roc'k hogs," and “coyotes” that blew

;, up whole mountains, and a hundred ‘
. andorLe things about the “rail end.” _

' She learned that it was taking ﬁve
.hundred steers a week to feed the
Horde that lay along the Grand
Trunk Paciﬁc between Hogan’s

" ‘Camp and the, sea, and that there

were two thousand souls at Tete
'Jaune Cache, which until a few

“months before had slumbered in a

century-oldquiet broken only by the
Indian and his trade. Then the train
stopped in its twisting trail, and the
bearded man and his companion left
the car. As they passed her they
glanced down. Again the veil was
V .“drawn close. A shimmering tress of
hair had cecaped its bondage; that
was, all they saw.

The veiled woman drew a deeper

"Quite new—to this.”

The words, and the manner in
which they were spoken, made the
other glance quickly at her com-
panion.

“‘It is a strange place to go——Tete
Jaune,” she said. “It is a terrible
place for a woman." ‘

“And yet you are going?” _

“I have friends there. Have you?”

(IND-)9

The girl stared at her in amaze-
ment. Her voice and her eyes were
bolder now. '

“And Without friends you are go-
ing—there?” she cried. “You have
no hush." 1d——no brother ’V’

"What place is this? interrupted
the other, raising her. veil so that
she could look steadily into the
other’s face. "Would you mind tell—
ing me?" ‘ ,

“It is Miette,” replied the girl, the
ﬂush reddening her cheeks again.
"There’s one of the big camps of the
railroad builders down on the Flats.
You can see it through the window.
That river is the Athabasca.”

“Will the train stop here very
long?" _ —-

The Little Angel shrugged her
thin shoulders despairingly.

“Long enough to get me into The
Cache mighty late tonight,” she com-
plained. “Wewon’t move for two
hours.”

“I’d be so glad if you could tell
me where I can go for a bath and
something to eat. I’m not very hun—
gry—but I’m terribly dusty. I want
to change some clothes, too. Is there
a hotel‘here?”

Her companion found the ques-
tion very funny. She had a.giggling
ﬁt before she answered. '

“You're sure new," she explained.
"We don’t have hetels up here. We
have bed-houses, chuck-tents, and
bunk—shacks. You ask for Bill’s
Shack down there on the Flats. It’s
pretty good. They’ll give you a room,
plenty of water, and a looking—glass
—an’ charge you a dollar. I’d go
with you, but I'm expecting a friend
a little later, and if I move I may
lose him. 7 Anybody will tell you
where Bill’s place is. It’s a red and
white striped tent—and it’s respect—
able.”

The stranger girl thanked her, and
turned for’her bag. As she left the
car, the Little Angel's eyes followed
her with a malicious gleam that gave
them the strange glow of candles

which she unfurled to all seeking

was ﬁlled with an inward antagon-
ism that this stranger with the wond-
erful blue eyes had dared to see them
and recognize them. She stared
after the retreating form—a tall,
slim, equisitely poised ﬁgure that
ﬁlled her with envy and a dull sort
of hatred. A hand fell familiarly on
her shoulder, and a coarse voice
laughed something in her ear that
made her jump up with an artiﬁcial
little shriek of pleasure. The man
nodded toward the end of the now
empty car.

“Who’s your

She doubled over in the seat in a
ﬁt of merriment, and her companion
seized the opportunity to look out of
the Window.

The tall, blue—eyed stranger had
paused for a moment on the last step
of the car to pin up her veil, fully
revealing her face. Then she step—
ped lightly to the ground, and found
herself facing the sunlight and the
mountains. She drew in a slow,
deep breath between her parted lips,
and turned wonderingly, for a mom—

she had left the train since entering
the mountains, and she understood

that the hollow-cheeksd'girl wonder—
ed at thé strange change in him.
The train stopped at the edge of
the big ﬁll overlooking the Flats. It
was a heavy train, and a train that

' was helping to make history—a com-

bination of freight, passenger, and
“cattle.” It had averaged eight miles
an hour on its climb toward Yellow-
head Pass and the end of steel. The
“cattle” had already surged from
their stiﬂing and foul-smelling cars
in a noisy inundation of curiously
mixed humanity. They were of a
dozen different nationalitiesnand as
the girl looked at them it was; not
with revulsiongor scorn but with a
sudden quickening of heart-beat and
a little laugh that had in it some-
thing both of wonder and pride. This
was Horde, that crude, monstrous
thing of primitive strength and pas-
sions that was overturning mountains
in its ﬁght to link the new Grand
Trunk Paciﬁc with the seaport of
the Paciﬁc. In that Horde, gathered
in little groups, shifting, sweeping
slowly toward her and past her, she
saw something as omnipotent as the
mountains themselves. They could
not know defeat. She sensed it with-
out ever having seen them before.
For her the Horde now had a heart
and a soul. These were the builders
of empire—~the man—beasts who made
it possible for Civilization to creep
warily and without peril into new
places and new worlds. With a
curious shock she thought of the
half—dozen lonely little wooden cross—
es she had seen though the car Win-
dow at odd places along the line of
rail.

And now she sought her way back
toward the Flats. To do this she had
to climb OVUI‘ a track that was wait-
ing for ballast. A car shunted past
her, and on its side she saw the big,
warning rod placards Dynamite.
That one word seemed to breathe. to
her the spirit of the wonderful energy
that was expending itself all about
her. From farther on in the mount—
ains came the deep, sullen detona-
ions of the “little black giant” that
had been rumbling past her in the
car. It came again and again, like
the thunderous voice of the mount—
ains themselves: calling out in protest
and defiance. And each time she
felt a curious thrill‘undcr her not
and the palpitant touch of smm-il‘aing
that was like a comic bi‘Hfllll in her
ears. She found another track on
her way, and other cars slipped past
her cruncliingly. Beyond this second
track she came to a beaten road that
led down into the Flats, and she be-
gan to descend. "

Tents shone through the trees on
the bottom. The rattle of the cars
grew more distant, and she heard
the hum and laughter of voices and
jargon of a phonograph. At the bot-
tom of the slope she stepped aside to
allow a team and wagon to pass.
The wagon was loaded with boxes
that rattled and crashed about as the
wheels bumped over stones and
roots. The driven. of the team did
not look at her. He was holding
back with his Whole weight; his eyes
bulged a little; he was sweating, in
his face was a comedy of expression
that made the girl start in spite of
herself. Then she saw one of the
bobbing boxes and the smile from
into a look of horror. On it was
painted that ominous Word—Dyna-
mite!

Two men were coming behind her.

“Six horses, a wagon an’ old Fritz
-——blown to hell ’an not a splinter to
tell the story,” one of them was say-
ing. “1 was there three minutes
after the explosion and ther wasn’t
even a ravelling or a horsehair left.
This dynamite’s a dam’ funny thing.

Defeat of Old Guard Candidates Insure Continuance and Increased Power for Group of Farmer

O'matter whether the election returns this

Its. fall show up democratic or republican, the '

farmer will have little to worry about
Apparently, the country has gone “Farm Bloc".
It was farm bloc principles and farm bloc sup-
port that upset the stand~pat reactionaries in In-
diana and Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Iowa and
other mid~western primaries.

A year ago one of the leading manufacturers
and bankers on the Pacific Coast received a let-
ter from a big eastern banking house which read
in substance as follows:

“We bankers are getting up a fund to fight
the farm ‘bloc’ which seems to be developing
dangerous strength in congress. Please subscribe
liberally.”

This manufacturer—banker being an independ-
, ent sort of individual declined in the following
language: “I am opposed to ‘bloc’ movement of
all kinds, therefore cannot subscribe to your
fund”. 1

This outcry against the farm bloc received
strong impetus, however, and for a time even
many of its friends had strong misgivings and
doubts as to the desirability of such a group in
this democratic country. The metropolitan press
with but few notable exceptions, vigorously de-
nounced the bloc as a menace to democratic gov-
ernment. President Harding and Secretary
Weeks both berated the bloc in no uncertain
terms.

Now one of the biggest financial institutions
of the East, comes out with a lengthy statement
which amounts to a virtual endorsement of the
farm bloc. Their statement says:

“The Farm Bloc is essentially based upon an
economic idea. That idea can be simply stated in
a few words:

“The farmer believes that he does not receive

a large enough price for his products. He insists
that what he is compelled to buy has decreased
far less in price since the war than the thing he
sells. His contention is that he is unable to bor—
row money as advantageously as those engaged
.in other great industries—Hence the-Farm Bloc
in Congress”.
. It is true that the spokesman for this finan-
'cial institution goes on to point out the possible
evils of group action and he takes particular
,pains to show that any of the farmer’s prob—
’lems cannot be solved by legislation—all of
which is quite true—but he finds nothing to con-
demn and much to commend in the farm bloc as
it exists today.

More and more of the larger newspapers have
accepted the bloc as an expression of public opin-
ion rather than as a mere selfish group grab.
They now realize that this bloc is something dif-
ferent. It is not seeking to merely put across
some special concession or privilege. They may
still question Whether all the measures proposed
by the bloc are sound and give promise of prov-
ing effective, but they recognize it as an expres-
sion of the desires and needs of a very large
number, perhaps a majority, of the people.

i
The fact that this expression may be actually.

voiced by only a relatively small group of lead~
ers, does not change the situation. If this small
group does not correctly interpret the desires of
the many they soon cease to be leaders and the
program fails. Recent developments indicate
that these leaders have properly interpreted the
desires and needs of the many.

The particular thing the farm bloc can take
most credit for, from the public viewpoint, is the
fact that it furnished the rallying point around
which other progressive elements could group
themselves and force a general progressive
movement. Many a member of congress has for
years vsanted to do just the independent, pro-
gressive sort of things he is doing today but he
did not dare open his mouth or raise a finger so
long as the boss’ whip was held over him. But
once the break was made by the farm bloc bunch
others were anxious to take up the fight. It is
the reflection of this spirit of independence that
is sweeping the country.

Bernard M. Baruch was one of the first among
the big business leaders to recognize the desir-

in congress. At the time of the agricultural con—
ference at Washington last February Mr.
Branch expressed his approval of this bloc in the
following words:

“This is the first time that the

During the sixteen months that the agricultur?.Vi’vj...”.l_
al bloc has been in existence, it has won the con- " . ‘3

fidence of the public—the city conSumer as well _'
The legislative mea- ‘

sures propose , have all been in the public—interest,

when considered from a broad viewpoint, and . "

support or lack of support of the farm bloc has
come to be the measure of a man’s progressive-
ness along legislative and business lines. '

A mid— western congressman stood up on the
floor of the House and said: “I am a member of
no bloc.” Immediately he was flooded with tele-
grams and letters from the farmers of ‘his dist-
rict asking, “Why not?” It took. that congress- .
man several months to explain to the satisfaction
of his constituents that what he meant was that
he didn’t believe in blind group action but that
he voted regularly with the farm bloc.

A candidate for congress from Kansas wrote
in to Washington: “Give me the record of Con- ‘
gressman Blank’s vote on all farm bloc ques-
tions. I am going to run against him." Con-
gressman Blank, judging from the primary re-
turns, evidently had an interesting time trying to
explain to the folks [back home just why he fail-
ed to work with the farm bloc.

“Is my name written there?” was the question’
on the lips of a hundred congressmen when it be-
came known, this summer, that the American
Farm Bureau Federation was making up a list of
those whose records showed them entitled to be
considered consistent supporters of agricultural
legislation. Some who had been a little, late in
seeing the light felt nervous until they knew the
verdict. And in truth it was a serious matter; it
meant either reelection or defeat—without ques-
tion—in dozens of cases. »

The seriousness of the situation placed a spe-
cial responsibility upon the Farm' Bureau in
compiling this list and it was decided to make
the votes on four bills the test. TheSe four bills
were, the stockyards and packer control bill, and
the amendment to a bill retaining the fifty per
cent surtax on large incomes. These bills were
selected because itwas on these that'special pres-
sure had been exerted by both sides.~ The man
who stuck with the farmers on these bills could
be counted on in most any legislative emergency.
A few modifications of the list had to be made to
take care of special sets of circumstances but the
final count showed twenty-three members in the _
Senate, and in the less definitely organized
House, ninety—four men entitled to be called con-
sistent supporters of agricultural legislation. In
addition there were sixty—eight members of the
House who while not quite solid supporters,
could usually be counted on.

Commiséioner of Agriculture Prepos‘es Law to Curb Commission Firms

If the investigation discloses that the applicant
has been guilty_of any of the above transgres-
sions the commissioner may refuse to grant a

culture, has submitted to the Business Farm-
er the outline of a law which he hopes to have
passed by the next legislature which will provide
farmers with a greater degree of protection than
the present commission license law affords from
unscrupulous commission ﬁrms.

The state law, as it now stands, provides that
every ﬁrm or individual doing a commission busi-
ness in farm produce, shall procure a license
which is his authority to conduct such a business.
This license may be revoked at any time upon
the submission of conclusive evidence that the
licensee has been guilty of unfair or dishonest
practices. Experience has shown that the law
holds no terror for the “ﬂy—by—night” commission
,ﬁrms, who set up in business only long enough
to enable them to make a single killing. They
rent a “hole in the wall,” send out alluring cir-
culars through the mail offering higher prices
than the market will stand, receive and sell pro-
duce from farmers, and pocket the proceeds.

A lot of farmers under these circumstances

in disgust. If there be any who insist 'on making
a fuss the commission ﬁrm succeeds in getting
out of business before it is caught. Of course,
”it may lese its license, but what of that? It takes
out another license under a new name and starts
up again.

"‘i But the law which Commissioner Doelle has in

\

mind is based on the principle of locking the barn
before the horse is stolen. It is a counterpart
of the New York law which compels everyone ap-
plying for a license to do a commission business
to put up a bond in the sum of $3,000; which re—
mains in the custody of the department of state
having jurisdiction over the commission business,
and the proceeds of which may be used to in—
demnify all those who may sustain losses through
the dishonesty of the licensee. Here is how it
works.

Sammy Sammerstein wants to set up in the
cemmission business. He applies to the State De—
partment of Agriculture for a license. The De—
partment makes an investigation to ascertain, (1)
if a money judgment has ever been issued against
the applicant and upon which execution has been
returned unsatisﬁed; (2) if false charges have
ever been imposed by the applicant for handling
or Services rendered; (3) if there has been a fail-
ure to account promptly and properly or to make
settlements; (4) if there have been any false
statement or statements as to condition, quality
6h quantity of goods received or held for sale
on commiSSion when the same might be known
on reasonable inspection; (5) if there has been
any false or misleading statements as to market
conditions or service rendered; (6) if the appli-
cant has ever directly or indirectly purchased
goods for his own account without prior authority

therefor or without notifying consignor thereof.

\

license. Similarly he may revoke any license for

any of the practices stated above.

If the investigation discloses that Sammy is a
ﬁt person to engage in the commission businesss,

the commissioner requires that he ﬁle a ﬁdelity .

bond in the sum of $3, 000. When the bond is
ﬁled, Sammy gets his license and sets up in busi- '
ness. ,_

A few months later Sammy becomes a little
hard up for cash and “forgets” to make returns
to Farmer Jones on a shipment of poultry. Farm-
er Jones immediately appeals to the State De-
partment of Agriculture which ,ordersSammy to
appear and show cause why his bond should not
be forfeited. If Sammy fails to do so or does not ‘
make restitution to the aggrieved farmer, the
commissioner executes the bonds and pays over
to Farmer Jones and any others who have been

defrauded the amounts which are due them, up" '

to the full value of the bond.

The Business Farmer believes that such a law .
is needed here in Michigan and would not only 3‘
save farmers thousands of dollars a year, but_
would encourage a greater number of farmers to L
cultivate the city trade. The Business Farmer}
has pledged Commissioner Doelle its support in i,
securing the adoption of such a law at the next
session of the legislature. p *‘ y . a

V WHO IS THY NEIGHBOR?

NCLOSED ﬂiid ‘
one of my last week’s papers,
which “as you will note tells

sympathizing with the striking un-
ion men and are carrying food to
their suffering
to adk which‘is the best policy, to
turn the machine‘ guns on the strik-
ers or ‘do as the farmers did in
Texas;

Have not the railroad corporations
and coal kings, stript of their
sheep’s clothing, shOWed themselves
10 be raving wolves? Have not the
farmers and the laborer produced
their ill-gotten millions, and still
they are asking for more. ,

Gov. Blaine of Wisconsin show
in ofﬁcial ﬁgures that 25 per cent
of Wisconsin's soldier boys are in
prison. Why? Have. the million-
aires achieved their aim? Is autoc-
racy safe at last and democracy
destroyed? They agree with Van-
derbilt, “the people be damned",
and not one for soldier bonus. Gov.
Blaine statics the general charge
against all these soldier boys was
stealing ,something to eat or wear.
Must we not feel proud, this richest
nation on earth, and our president
is determined to veto the bonus bill
if it should pass.

Who is to be blamed for all this,
the millionaires or the government?
Who are the men who yield to the
will and wishes of the heartless pro-
ﬁteers‘! Our representatives who“ be-
lieve in Newberryism and supported
Newberry is the only kind which is
recognized by Wall Street.

The primary election is at hand.
Voters,.be sure to register, and be
sure to vote for men who condemn
Newberryism. Our own good old
Michigan will land the Newberry
bunch where North Dakota landed
McCumber.—C. H. A., Iosco County,
Mich. ,

You've painted the picture a. little
strong.vwe think, but conditions are such
as to warrant strong thoughts and words.
The eyes of the whole nation will be
upon Michigan. in the coming primary
election. What verdict will the verdict
be? Shall Newberryism be vindicated and
defended, or shall it be smote "hip and

thigh?" The verdict rests with Michigan.

MODERN DRESS A SERIOUS
‘ SUBJECT

BEG to disagree with you when

you call this discussion of styles

quarreling and haggling about
the length of woman’s dress. It is
one of the greatest and most vital
questions of the day for it concerns
the morals of our women and our
men. The present day feminine garb
is not conducive to good morals.

The old saying is, “The hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world,"
and tho it is no longer fashionable
to rock the cradle, woman, indirect—
ly, rules the world and doubtless
always will.
‘ A nation is judged by the dress
and mannerisms of its women at
home and abroad, There are \many
dear, good women, and beautiful
girls who always -modify the fash-
’ ions to meet good taste and their
innate sense of modesty and reﬁne-

their number increase. But there
are many, many more, thru ignor-
ance, indifference to criticism, in-
decency and a desire to attract the
male. sex, who not only follow the
extreme fashion but make it more
extreme as does the despised woman
of the underworld.

selves, allow their daughters‘ to go

freely today, don’t you think, Mrs. Rob- . \

have made much ado about nothing? I ';
am not talking about the extremes of j
fashion now nor the exceptionar cases
of misconduct, but of the prevoiling
fashions and the general department of ‘
our girls and women. It is well known ..
to all of us that the extremes of dress in . '
nearly every generation have been the ac-
cepted dress in the following. How shook-
ed and horriﬁed many good women were
only a. few years ago when the high collar
was discarded. for the moderately» lowd
neck-dress and the long untidy sleeve
was succeeded by .the elbow-length.’
Those simple changes were looked upon
then as radical departures and the moral »
break-down of our girls was freely pre—
dicted. How many of you mothers who ‘
are wading this were guilty of such ex- «

,"Cost of transpOrtation is a con-
tributing cause of the Wide gap be-
tween the producer and the consumer
and the farther who backs the Labor
Unions in maintaining wartime
wages and unreasonable working
rules and tieing up of industry on
the slightest pretext must expect to
pay in the lessened price for his pro—
.dﬁce and the increased cost of what
he buys. A clause in the Declara-
tion of Independence reads: “He

and are paying them much too high

If the “statement is true that the
members of the State Board of Ad-
ministration are using cars furnish-

. each, that alone should be sufﬁcient
to defeat everyone of them for re-
election.

It is estimated we must soon pro—
vide $5,000,000 per year to maintain
highways and provide for retiring
$5,000,000 of road bonds and when
the farmers protested such a large
road building program they received
very scant attention.

I don’t wish to be understood as
opposed to good roads or good
schools or good government but I
think all of these activities are much
overdone and to the direct deteri-
ment of the farmers.

Retrenchment all along the line
should be the demand of the farmer
before everything else. \

There’s a good deal of sound sense in
what you have to say, friend Wood.
though I 'cannot'understand Why you
attack working men wanting decent wages
and organizing to get them, and let the
proﬁts of industy go free of censure. High
wages for honest service rendered do not
hurt the farmer. They help him. They
increase the buying power of the wage
earners. The farmer is never more pros—
perous than when wages are high and
never so poor as when wages are low.
Let’s not object to a decent wage for an
honest day’s work. but do let’s go after
the fellows who are wringing huge proﬁts
from the public on watered stock, and

charging high prices from unnecessary
services—Editor.

TIME; DELAY CUTS CROP

; IKE is a bigger element today 111'
~ farm life than ever before. Few

realize its place in‘the" playing
and seeding cf crops for the biggest
yields. The Central (Experimental.
Farm of the Dominion of Canada,
at Ottawa, Canada; and the Okla-

homa Experiment Station have both ‘
gathered some ﬁgures that are start—-

ling and conclusive in bringing home
to farmers the necessity of being so
equipped with power and machinery
that the work can be done when it
should be done and in the shortest
possible space of time. A month's

"delay will cut the wheat crop over

half, while on barley and oats the

loss is nearly as great, the canadian‘

experiments show in the following
table: ' '

No. weeks de— Wheat Barley Oats
lay in seeding decrease decrease decrease

One ............ 20%. 24% 15%
Two .......... 40% 28% 22%
Three ......... 50% 40% 32%
Four .......... 58% 46% 46%

At the Oklahoma station, plowing
was done at three different dates:
July 19. whéii the ground was in the
proper state of moisture; August 1 ‘i
when it was hard and lumpy, and
September 11, when it was dry‘and
cloddy. Each plot was seeded Sep-
tember 15. The, yields were: July
19 plot, 31.3 bushels of wheat; Au—
gust 15, 23.5 bushels; September 11,
15.3 bushels. The station concludes
that “early plowing for wheat is
proﬁtable; and if Wheat follows oats,
the soil should be plowed immediate-
ly after the not crop is harvested.
Generally it is best to work down
the soilw'ell as soon as it is plowed,
and barrow or drag it after each
rain. In this way, weeds may be
kept down and the soil moisture con-
served."

In other words, the farm needs

more than ever a reserve of power

that can be thrown into the stubble
fields immediately after the grain is
of! for early plowing and prepara-
tion ofeseedbedtog'eta 100 per
cent foundation for his fall wheat
crop. This kind of work, to bring
best results, must be done at a time
when the farm labor supply is carry-
ing a “peak load,” and when it is
the hottest time of the year on the
farm. Farmers equipped with trac-
tors are fortunate in being able to
meet these “peak demands” of farm
work that brings seed-bed prepara-
tion close on the heels of small grain
harvest.

FIVE DIPORTANT WINTER —
WHEAT 3mm .,
HILE the Hessian fly is by no
means' the only problem in 'the
growing of winter wheat. he is
of so much importance that nowa-
days the entire winter wheat program
is mapped out with him especially
in mind. ,

There are five points which require
special attention. f. e., early plowing,
good seed, a well-prepared seedbed,
delayed Seeding, liberal fertilization.

, Hundreds of farmers follow such
a. system and find that it is very,
profitable to do so. The and time
again. it has been demonstrated that

.- early and thorough preparation of

the seedbed, alone, is responsible for
increases in’ylelds of from five to
ten bushels.

When seeding is delayed until
after the fly-free date, Hessan fly
damage is greatly reduced. The adult
fly lives only a few days after it
emerge: and if it does not find the
leaves of the young wheat plants up-
on which it can lay its eggs, it is un-
able to propagate the new brood
which does the damage to the crop.
However, when seating is delayed,
the crop must move along rapidly
after seeding, in order thatvit shall
pass through the winter successfully.
Prom two to three hundred pounds
of ”high-antlrsfs' fertiliser applied at
seeding will insure the , against
injury and give It a start the

"New York is calling!" says the operator in San Francisco.
And across the continent business is transacted as if across

a desk.

Within arm's length of the man with a telephone are
seventy thousand cities, towns and villages connected by a
single system. Without moving from his chair, without loss
of time from his affairs, he may travel an open track to any
of those places at any time of day or night.

In the private life of the individual the urgent need of
instant and personal long distance communication is an
emergency that comes infrequently—butit is imperative
when it does come. In the business life of the nation it is a
constant necessity. Without telephone service as Americans
know it, industry and commerce could not operate on their
present scale. Fifty per cent more communications are
transmitted by telephone than by mail. This is in spite of
the fact that each telephone communication may do the
Work of several letters.

The pioneers who planned the telephone system realized
that the value of a telephone would depend ‘upon the num-
ber of other telephones with which it could be connected.

‘7 They realized that to reach the greatest number of people
in the most efficient way a single system and a universal
service would be essential.

By enabling a hundred million people to speak to each
other at any time and across any distance, the Bell System
has added signiﬁcance to the motto of the nation's founders:
"In union there is strength." '

THAT LINE FENCE

Will you kindly inform me through
your valuable paper, which is the law-
ful line fence and also what part belongs
to each farm? I am a renter, and the
fence on the right side facing the fence
is of woven wire, and the fence on the

\ -left side is two strands of barb wire,

which allows my neighbors‘ unruly cat-
tle to destroy.my crops. They say the
fence on the left belongs to this farm and
will not try to keep their cattle off.
Have I the right to shut up thé'lr stock

and hold them for damage to crops?“ 4

Mrs. P. S., Middlevllle. Mich. .

Line fences are divided by agree-
ment of owners and may’be the right
or left half. There is nothing that
I can call to mind in the law that
designates which part either is to
take. If the owners cannot agree
they may call in the fence viewers
and their determination which part
each is to take shall .be binding.

If your neighbor’s cattle get onto
your premises through the fence that
is the duty of your neighbor to build
or keep in repair then you may shut
them up, if you follow the provisions
of the law for such purpose, and
require him to pay the damage and
penalty for the same before delivery
back to him. If the cattle get onto
your premises through the fence you
should build or keep in repair then
you would not be justified in shut-
ting them up as you would make
yourself liable for the costs of pro-
ceedings to retake them. The ques-
tion may be tested in such a pro-
ceeding to determine which should
build the fence. The division of the
line fence may be agreed upon and,
filed in the town clerk’s ofﬁce. You
may find in his ofﬁce which one is
to build each half of the fence. ~—

MUCK SHOES

Will you please inform me whore I can
buy muck shoes? C. E. B., Alpena. Mich.

The muck shoes are usually made
by a local blacksmith in the muck
regions of the state.

A Mr. Brigham of Decatur manu-
factures muck shoes in small quanti-
ties. I do not have at the present
time his ﬁrst initials but I am sure
you could get them byiwriting to
Dr. Bope of Decatur. If this does
not get results write again and I
will make further effort to get in
touch with the: proper party—Ezra.

tural Development.

 

 

PAYING TUITION

Will you please tell mo if I remove
from the district I am m-w rnsiding in
during August which (llSIl‘lCt must pav the
tuition of a boy attenti'ng H‘gh School,
or must I pay it myself, the said boy be-
ing 1‘7 years of :Ig)?—I‘.eetdcr, R'vscwm-
mon, Mich. '

The district where the parent or
legal guardian resides at the time
of making written application,
which is on or before the fourth
Monday of June, is the district that
must pay high school tuition for the
school year following, if the child
holds a county eighth grade diploma
or has completed eight grades in a
graded school and the parent or legal
guardian has made written applica-
tion for the payment of tuition on
or before said fourth Monday of
June. The fact that the parent or
legal guardian may move out of
the district after ﬁling application
does not release the district where
the application was ﬁled for the pay—
ment of tuition for that year, unless
the child becomes a legal resident
of a district that maintains a high
school and he attends that high
school.——W. L. Coﬁey, Dept. of Pub-
lic Instruction.

DISPUTE OVER SPRING
A and B own joining land. A has a.
spring of water about 6 rods from the
line between A and B. The water does
not ﬂow onto B's land. B's 'deed calls
for the water but A’s deed says nothing

about it. Can B go on to A's land and
,build a reservoir and take the water
without A’s consent—A. E. 8., Lowell,

C . .

If B’s deed was from A or from
someone who owned the spring then
he is entitled to what 'his deed called
for but if B‘s deed is from someone
who had no right to convey any in-
terest in the spring, then the mere
fact that he had a deed'narming the
right to the spring ittwould give
him no right thereto. If B’s deed did 7

It'is not possible to plow deep.

on .gravelly soil. Thorough culti-
vation is the only reliable method
for the complete eradication of this ,

NE of. the'most popular “skin
{games"'of the day is the tire
.game. It is now possible to

"3 make a tire by machinery which to

an outward appearances is as good
asaa‘ny tire ever made, and requires
an expert to detect its- flaws. There
have sprung up throughout the coun-

7 :try scores of concerns which make
"this type .of tire,‘ and advertise it

through the mails, offering to send

a set of them as an ”introductory”
oifer, and, guaranteeing them to run

'a far reater number of miles than

some _ the best makes can do. Their
literature is .appealing, their argu-

' ment strong, their price attractive,

and their “guarantee” convincing.
Farmers are their favorite victims.
They “bite” like ﬁsh after a summer
shower. And usually they get
“hooked.” The tires never run their

, guaranteed mileage. Usually they go

to pieces within a few hundred miles.

Out of the thousands of claims re—
ferred to this department scores are
against this type of tire concern, and
in the great many cases, we ﬁnd .too
late that the-crooks have “ﬂown the
coop.” They have sold enough “in—
troductory” tires to make a “killing,”
and never expect to receive a repeat
order. So they fade away and spring
into existence again some other place.

Mr. B., of Jackson county ordered
a set of “guaranteed” tires and
tubes from the Service Corporation

. of Kansas City, Mo. He drove them

a few thousand miles and they went

all 'to pieces. He wrote the com-

pany. The company told him to send
“them in for readjustment. He did.
A monthlater we wrote to them. The
letter came back marked “Service
Corporation out of business." And
Mr. B. is minus both tires and money.

At that Mr. B fared better than
Mr. A. S., of Imlay City who answ-
ered an ad of thewWebster Tire Corp-
oration which he saw in the House-
hold magazine. With a faith akin
to that of a child Mr. S. sent his
hard-earned cash to a ﬁrm he had
never of before advertising in a pa-
per that does not guarantee the re-
liability of its advertisers.» Mr. S.

'might as well haVe dropped his mon-

ey into Lake Huron. He never saw
it again and he never received the
tires. \VVe wrote the ﬁrm for him,
but our letter came back. It had
pocketed his money and probably
the money of thousands of others.
And the postal authorities are still
looking for the rascals. There is a
moral to.all these stories. Better
learn it and follow it.

VETERANS MUST FILE CLAIMS
FIVE YEARS
ITTLE attention has been paid up
to the present time to that sec-
tion of the War Risk Insurance
Act (Section 309 )Which deals with
the time limit for making claim for
disability incurred in the United
States services. Under this Section
of the Act it speciﬁcally states “That
no compensation shall be payable
unless a claim therefore be ﬁled,’ in
case of disability, within ﬁve (5)
years after discharge, or, resignation
from the service."

In plain language this means that
any man who has a disability which
is due to his service in the United
States armed forces must ﬁle a claim
for that disability within ﬁve (5)

5,...years after date of his discharge.

Any man discharged from the ser-
vice between April 6, 1917 and Oc-
tober 6, 1917, as an optional right,
can either apply to the Pension
Bureau or to the Veterans' Bureau.

, Any person discharged after October

6, 1917 must apply to the Veterans'
Bureau for his disability claim and
must do so within the ﬁve years
period; An example of this is: A
man diSCharged'from the navy De-
cember ‘1, 1917, on a disability dis-
charge, ﬁles a claim with the Veter-
ans' Bureau at Chicago District Of-
ﬁce on,December 10,. 1922. His

‘claim must necessarily be disallowed

because he has not applied for com-

pensation within the ﬁve (5) year
period.

All claims and information con-

“..Cerning same may be taken up with

The State Fair Is On

T is predicted that the State Fair this

year Will attract the largest number of
farmers in it’s history. There are several rea-
sons for this. One of them is that the enter-
tainment and the exhibits have been planned
to make a special appeal to the farmer. Then,
Too, the tourist camp Will bring many who
like to travel by auto and do not care to brave
the trafﬁc of Detroit’s congested thoroughfares
But probably the largest single event which
makes a special. appeal to the farmers this year
is the horscshoe pitching contest which will at-
tract the dcvotccs of the game from all over
Michigan. It is understood that delegations of
farmers will accompany champions from sev—
eral counties to witness the big tournament at
the Fair. _

Every effort has been. made to make the
farmers and their families feel right at home'
this year and to provide for their comfort and
welfare . The State Fair is on. All roads lead
to Detroit.

Bankers Back Farm Bureau

OME critics will be sure to look askance
upon the recent report of the agricultural
committee of the Michigan Bankers’ Ass"n,
asking the continued support of the banks to
the Michigan State Farm Bureau program. It
is not unreasonable to suppose, of course, that
The banking fraternity would like to dominate
the policies of the farm bureau and other farm
organizations. Indeed, it is heard in some
quarters that the banks do now control these
policies. To a limited extent an in certain in-
rtanccs this may be true, but V26 don’t believe
that the statement applies to the Michigan
State Farm Bureau or any of its locals. There
was a time when the State Bureau stood in
. danger of such domination, but it was warned
in time and has struck aside the chains‘ of all
cntangling alliances.

We prefer to believe that the banks of Mich-
igan are actuath by the most honorable mo-
tives in pledging its support to the Farm Bur-'
on program. Bankers as a rule are shrewd
men. It has not taken them long to learn that
their prosperity is indelibly linked up with
the farmers’ prosperity and that it is to their

. selﬁsh interest to aid the farmer to carry out
his economic program. ‘

 

Friday Shatters ”Farmers’ Hopes

HE hopes of farmers that prices of

. farm products are due for a come-back
were shattered by Pres. Friday of the M. A. C.
in a speech he recently made before the Mich-
igan Potato Growers’ Exchange at Cadillac.
Dr. Friday has gathered statistics to show
that the net value of manufactured and agri-

he really believe the farmers are using ”chumps"
as that? The farmers took their» losses and

than he is today and employing every economy went on producing because there wasn’t any-
in the production of his crops. “Fewer acres, thing else for them to do. _' They wantedte' _ 3
but more per acre,” is Dr.,Frid‘ay’s doctrine, strike, . they wanted to protest against the "

a doctrine which we have been preaching in.
thesecolumns for some time past. ” '

The ray of. hope in the situation at least for
the farmer of Michigan is the promise of Dr.
Friday that the agriCultural college is making
a. special study of the situation with a view to
rendering the farmers assistance that will en-
able thcm to produce slightly more economical-
lv than the farmers of other states, to produce
a higher quality of crops, to pack them a lit-
tle better and get them to market a little
cheaper than the farmers of the other states
can do. It maybe that the slight advantage
which the college may work out for the farmer
in the production and marketing of his crops
may mean the difference between success and
failure.

Be on your guard. If ever in your life you

FOREWORD

1921 legislature created the
State Department of Agricult-
ure for the purpose of central—
izing all state activities along agri—
cultural lines under a single head.
Although this department is suppos-
ed to serve the farmers and does,
few know the nature of its duties.
The following article is one of several
to be written by Mr. Doelle, the com-
missioner, describing the work of the
Department, to be published in the
M. B. F., and other papers of gener-
al circulation. Questions and criti-
cisms concerning the work of the

department are invited.-—~—Editor.

T is well understood that where
departments of government are
properly organized, they will be

(clothed with authority and embrace

all the activities necessary in order
properly to function.

'It is also a fact that in order to
have an emcient and economical
government, there should be no du-
plication of work or conflict of
authority in its different depart-
ments.

These facts were recognized by the
Legislature of Michigan during its
last session. It enacted a law creat-

' ing the Department of Agriculture,

and transferred to this Department

‘matters pertaining to animal indus-

try, the state food and drug com-
missioner’s department, work here-

' tofore performed by the Veterinar—

ian Board and Commissioner of Im—
migration. It also transferred and
placed in this Department the in-
spection ‘and regulation of orchards,
vineyards and nurseries, inspection
and regulation of apiaries, testing
of‘ agricultural seeds, analyses of
commercial stock foods, investigatiOn
and improvement of market condi—
tions, and matters pertaining to State
and county agricultural fairs.

It is the work of the Commissioner
of Agriculture to co-ordinate and
correlate the work of all these Bu—
reaus and agencies so as best to
serve the agricultural interests of
this commonwealth.

In order properly to determine

' «‘what line of action to pursue, the
.1 ﬁrst thing to do is to ascertain the
,_ 3 facts. ~ This is done by gathering-
..statistics in regard to all matters
attaining to Agriculture.

, _ Statistics
ﬁb‘lﬂd be obtained by those who.un-
sonata- their’value and who know

”commissioner
department, all of the information
obtainedby them is available. for all.

Perhaps one of the most far-reach-

71ng provisiOns in the Act creating

this department is the one which pro-
vides as follows: , ,

‘TIt shall be the duty of the State
Department of Agriculture to foster
and promote in every possible way
the agricultural interests of the
State of Michigan;~to cooperate with
agricultural agencies in the differ-
ent counties of the State and of the
Federal government; to foster di-
rect trading between the producer
and the consumer: and to prevent
and assist in preventing by all _a,vail-
able means authorized by law, the
sale of unimproved lands and lands
not suitable for agricultural devel-
opment within the State by fraud,
misrepresentation or deceit and the
publication of false or misleading
statements or advertising matters de-
signed to effect such sales.”

By the authority vested. in the
Commissioner of Agriculture by the
ﬁrst part of this section, he is able
to foster and promote all movements
that tend to better agricultural con-

—

~ .ditions in the State. 0 'He is always '
‘ in, a position to extend a helping

hand. 'In short, he is able to “keep
the home ﬂres burning” where all

those int'erested in bettering agri—

cultural conditions can gather around
and be sure of assistance, encourage-
ment and a welcome. By the author-
ity vested in him by the last part, he
is able to put the State stamp of dis-
approval upon misdirected or injuri-
ous activities, and evoke the strong
arm of the law where fraud or deceit
is practiced.

A majority of the activities of this

department are of the preventative

nature rather than the curative. I
think I could safely say that 80 per
cent of the activities of this depart-
ment are along preventative lines
and that 90 per cent of the beneﬁts
that accrue to the State of Michigan
by virtues of the operation of these
Bureaus come from the work done
along those lines.

The Legislature from time to time
has proceeded under their police
power to enact laws for the protec—
tion and safeguarding of the interest
of the individual. Judge Cooley
says, the police power of a State
"embraces ,its whole system of in—
ternal regulation, by which the State
seeks not only to preserve the public

order and to prevent offense against
the State, but also to establish for _
the intercourse of citizens with citi—-
zens those rules of good manners and ’
good neighborhbod which are cal-‘
culated to prevent a conﬂict of rights
and to insure to each the uninter-
upted enjoyment of his own so far
as is reasonably consistent with a
like enjoyment of rights by others.
" ‘ ‘ It comprises that portion of
the sovereignty of the State which
was not surrendered by the terms
of the federal constitution to the
central government. ‘ " ‘ Finally, it.
has been said that by means of this
power the Legisuature exercises a
supervision over matters which in-
volve the common weal, and enforces
the observance, by each individual
member of society, of the duties
which he owes to others and to the
community at large."

It is under and by virtue of legis-
lative authority, under the police
p0wer of the State, that a great deal
of the work of this department is
being carrried on. It may ‘be truly
said that we are honestly endeavor-
ing “to insure to each, the uninter-
rupted enjoyment of the rights of
others." At the same time, we seek
to “enforce the observance by each,

. WOMEN ARE DRY ‘
' 0U will be interested to read he-

, ’ low a few opinions expressed by

prominent women, of the coun-
try, on the wet and dry issue. I would
be glad to hear from readers of this
page on‘the subject. We need. not
become excited or angry, in fact, it
is the cool head that convinces. We
have a right to differ from one
another. That is what makes human
nature so interesting. If you want
my opinion, here it is: I believe we
must conform to ,any plan that
brings “The Greatest Good to the
Greatest Number."

“Women are dry, and don’t you
forget,” proclaimed Mrs. Harriet
Taylor Upton, head of the Republican
women. “They will stand united a
solid bulwark against attacks on
prohibition and will defend the
Leighteenth amendment with every
gmvailable resource."

“The mothers of the nation are no
more likely to wipe out the eigh-
teenth amendment than they are to
demand the cultivation of typhoid
germs *in the water which science
has puriﬁed.”

Thus Mrs. Maud Wood Parke,
president of the National League of
Women voters voiced the nation-
wide opposition to any relaxation in
the prohibition regulations by the
women of the country.

Both Republican and Democratic
leaders of women stand united on
the one issue of prohibition and are
constantly urging the women to work
for its upholding within their own
parties.

“The women vote is becoming
more powerful every year. It is
already strong enough to be a pow-
erful obstacle to the ambitions of
the wet forces. Women have the
welfare of the family too much at
heart not to realize the speciousness
of the arguments advanced by the

wets.”——Mrs. Newell Blair, Demo-
cratic committee women in Wash-
ington.

In Missouri, Texas, Ohio and in

Utah, the liquor interests are stand-
ing with one foot in the grave and
the other on a banana peel.

”In England,” Mrs. Parke ex—
plains, “there is a general feeling
that the United States adopted pro-
hibitiom not out of sentiment nor
because of altruistic motives, but
out of.a shrewd, cold blooded Yan-
kee conviction that a prohibition
country will outstrip drinking na-
tions in health, wealth, eiﬁciency
and power. My personal opinion- is
that this is wholly true and that
continuance of prohibition is assured
because it lays a sound economic
foundation on which permanent na—
tional well being can be built."

 

0N FREE SUGAR
(Not a discussion of the tariﬂ')

N a very interesting article writ-
ten by Dr. K. R. Gibson, who is
director of the Bureau of Dentis-

try and Oral Hygiene, a new light is
thrown upon the use of free sugar in
the diet of children. He says, that

“The feeding of sugar is warned

against whether cooked in foods or
used upon cereals. This will no
doubt occasion comment, as many
people believe that free sugar is a.
food and that more or less is neces-
sary to satisfy bodily requirements.
Nature has, however, furnished all
the sugar that the body needs in,
foods such as milk, fruits and some
of the vegetables, beside providing
that foods such as bread, potatoes
and rice be changed into sugar in
the digestive process.

Aside from free sugar, the frequ—
ent eating of fresh white bread, soft
crackers and light foods should be
avoided. These requir very little
effort in their masticatiomand tend
to form in sticky particles about the
teeth providing the most ideal con-
ditions for the beginning of dental
decay. In their place should be sub-
stituted the hard whole wheat
breads, toast, zwieback and foods,
which not only in themselves have a
cleansing and massaging effect upon
‘ the teeth and gums, but which stim-
ulate the normal development of the
jaws and face, at the same time stim-
ulating an active ﬂow of saliva to
'- begin digestion where nature intend-
Bligh-ill the mouth.

Calcium salt is the very founda-
tion of tooth structure; whether the
enamel of the tooth is to be hard
and dense or relatively soft and‘por-
one is regulated by the amount of
calcium available. During the; time

Some oi the more important of these
foods are milk, buttermilk, cheese,
spinach,'string beans, kidney beans,
celery, turnips, carrots, cabbage and
cauliﬂower.

That the contagious skin diseases
contracted during childhood bear a
direct inﬂuence upon the enamel of
the teeth is not generally known.
Such is the case however. The enamel
of the teeth and skin are formed
from similar cells, any eruption of
the skin is likely to aﬁect the for-
mation of the enamel. From the
standpoint of sound teeth, if for no
other reason, parents should take
every measure to prevent the child
from contracting measles, chicken,
pox, scarlet fever, etc., during the
enamel forming period of the two
sets of teeth—that is from birth to
17 years of age.

t'Yorkier. Perhaps B. V. S. would like to
ry t: .

One—fourth cup peanut butter blended
with 1-2 cup melted shortening. 1-4 cup
sour milk, 1 cup syrup. -1 small teaspoon
soda. about 3 cups ﬂour. Roll thin. .

Our recipe for buns is: Save a cape!
dough when making bread. About feur
o’clock add 1-2 cup of sugar. lard size
of an egg. 1 cup of warm water and mix
into a loaf. Mold into biscuits with
plenty of space between. about ‘bedtime.
Bake in the morning in a quick oven.
Makes about twenty. .

Perhaps this is recipes enough for one
letter and when I want some help I know
where to go for this and Rural New
Yorker family are tw0'friendly circles.

one. Yours for a better page—Mrs. Fred

Sweet Violet

I am writing this especially to you. To
thank you for making our Home Depart-
ment so interesting. I enjoy' it all very
much. But most of all. your talk at the
head of the page. You always say some-
thing good. That makes ,me feel glad
all day.

In compliance with your request I am
sending you a little verse of my own
composing:

Oh sweet violet perfume,
Mv allegiance I pledge to you.
Flowers gathered from the mossy dell,
Sparkling with the morning dew,
Oh give me the scent of the violet,
It’s the perfume I love the best.
It’s a joy to me forever. _
My favorite of all the rest.

Always keep in the house Epsom

E‘AR Modes and Nephews: I had
a pleasant vacation but am glad
to be back anwork. Many times

I am so busy and get so tired that
I wish I was wealthy and did not
have to work but, when I‘ take off
two or three days I am always ready
to return and thankful to know that
I am one of the little cogs in the
great machinery ofAthe nation, in-
stead of being as sand in its gears.
The United States is like a giant

the workers instead of a drone. The
man without a task to perform can
not be as happy as the worker, nor
will the future look as bright. I am
sure my nieces and nephews are go-
ing to be workers instead of drones.

Have you a pet? Will you write
and tell us about it, or if you have
several write about them all? I have
2 or 3 such letters written by my
nieces and nephews and I am pub—
lishing one=in this issue. Read this
over and see if you can then write
a story about your pet or pets.—
UNCLE NED.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS
Dear Uncle Ned—~I wish to thank you
very much for the needle book you sent
me. I am sure it will be a very handy
$11215 to have—Laura Lake, R. 4, Homer,

Dear Uncle Ned—Please may I join
your merry circle? My father takes the
M. B. F. and likes it very well. I enjoy
reading it, especially the Children’s
Hour. I live on a two hundred acre farm
of which my father works eighty acres.
the rest is rented. I go two miles to
school. I will be in the eighth grade this
fall. We had about thirty—six scholars on
the roll last year. We have a Dodge tour-
ing car which my sister and I both drive.
I am taking music lesssons this summer.
I am nearly through my ﬁrst book. I have
had quite a few instrumental pieces. The
one which I have now is “Dance of the
Hours." Last fall on my vacation my
father drove to West Branch which is
two hundred and ten miles from our
home. We enjoyed the trip very much.
On the way we saw about ﬁve acres of
sunﬂowers which looked very curious.
farther on we saw a ﬁeld of corn which
the army worms or something had taken
all the leaves off and left the bare stalks
standing. We had good roads all the way
except about 6 miles. We stopped one-
half hour in Bay City for our dinner. We
left our home at 7:10 a. m. and got to
my aunt’s. south and west of Wost
Branch eight miles, at supper time. We
had a lovely time while there. We went
fishing on a small lake called Tea Lake.
The country is very hilly. After eight

 

‘days we returned home and found mrr-rv—

body all 0. K. This year we are planning
on going to Detroit for the fair and from

i
ltherc to Pontiac. I was to Pontiac three

weeks ago Sunday. We took my grand-
mother to my uncle's cottage 10 miles
west of Pontiac at Union Lake.

I wish some of the older boys and
girls would write to me. I will close, hope—
ing to hear fr some of the cousins.—
Miss Mattie E , Yale. Mich, R. 4.

Our (‘at

I am going to write about a handsome
tiger cat of which we were the proud
owners for about six years.

As a. kitten he was the most playful
little fellow imaginable. He delighted in
hiding and suddenly springing out at the
feet of anyone walking past his place

of concealment. When we boys were
barefootcd, he made us jump.
He was an exceedingly well behaved

cat, never meowing for any reason. He
would sit patiently by the door in mute
appeal to be let out. In the summer if
the screen was not booked. he would
let himself out simply by pushing it open
with his head. He would also let himself

screen‘ and pulling it outward when
he would quickly drop to his foot and
dodge in. which was quite a feat on ac-
count of the stiﬁ? spring.

He never tried to steal any food even
when it was left on the table and he was
unintentionally shut in the house. At
meal time he would sit by my mother‘s
side and watch until impatient for a
morsel to be dropped. Then he would
place his front paws upon the side of
her lap and again wait. If she still took
no notice he would reach up and gently
touch her arm with one paw.

Sometimes my father. for mischief,
would reach across her lap and snap at
the cat’s nose with his thumb and ﬁnger.
{Teddy resented this and would lay back
his ears and cuff at those ﬁngers but
.always with claws concealed, altho look-
ing very fierce.

When we boys were outside and my
mother would call to us Teddy would
go to the window and put his paws upon
the. sill and watch for us.

When we wanted to make a raid on
[the mice in the granary we. took Teddy
[with us. routed out the rodents and he
would do the catching. I have seen him
with two in his mouth and one under
each front paw.

He often hid some food which he was
not ready to eat, covering it, up as a dog
would. One day a dumpy hen was killed.
He ate part of it and dragged the rest
across the barn yard to a fence where
he covered it with straw. He afterwards
uncovered it, ate some more and again
carefully covered it.

He was a very aﬂ'ectionate and intel-
ligent pet, a great ﬁghter and a skillful
mouser and we were all very sorry when
he came un' missing. one winter day——

Thousands of. tests Conducted at

Within the range of plastic mix-

and get his goods to the farmer at
less. cost. Already 'a few of the

cerns are putting more direct meth-
ods into operation- Some of these
inefﬁciencies can be corrected only
by close cooperation on the~part of
the farmer himself. So there ‘ is
every reason why the farmer ,, and
the business man should get closer
together and talk. things over to
their mutual beneﬁt. But in the fu-
ture the business man who supplies
the farmers' wants must think'of
himself more nearly as a servant 1 ' e r or”
than as an autocratic master, as he ~ l 1

has too often been ”the casein the
past.

"Thank you."

She went on. -

Behind her, the two men stood
where she had left them. .They did
not move. The younger man seemed
scarcely to breathe. 7

“I’ve a notion to tell her. I can’t

“Shucks!” interjected the other.

calmly and undisturbed in among

were halt a dozen lounging there,

was high. She was beginning to
understand that it would have been

come this far, and she was deter-

a little more vividly through the pure

Bill, leaning over his little counter.
In him she recognized the Brute. It

and leaned forward. One of them

COWS THAT FRESHEN‘DV, FALL
IARE BEST MZHIK'PRODUOERS
HERE are varying opinions as
to the best time to have cows
freshen, but after a thorough
study of the records of 10,870 cows
in 64 testing associations the United

found that cows dropping calves in
the fall produce more milk and but-
terfat. In the 64 associations fall
freshening ranked‘ first 29 times in
average milk production;
freshenlng ranked first 18 times;
summer freshening 10 times; and
spring freshenlng 7 times. In but-
terfat production fall freshening was
first 38 times, winter 13 times, sum-
mer 8 times, and spring 7 times. The
tabulated results and detailed explan-

Department Bulletin 1071, Influence
of season of Freshening on Produc-
tion and Income from Dairy Cows,
by J. C. McDowell.

On an average the cows that fresh-
ened in the fall, September, October,
and November, produced 6,689
pounds of milk, while those that
freshened in the winter, summer, and
spring produced 6,439, 5,941, and
5,842 pounds, respectively. These
fall cows produced on an average,
268 pounds of butterfat. Those that
calved in winter, summer and spring
made, in order, 258, 236, and 236
pounds. In spite of higher feed cost.
the fall—freshened cows made more
income over feed cost. The winter
ones were second, spring third, and
summer fourth.

On the basis of individual months,
the largest income over feed cost was
made by cows freshening in Dec-
ember, with October second, Novem-
ber third, and January fourth. The
cows calving in October ranked first
ill both milk and butterfat produc-
t on.

Although the evidence shows con-
clusively that fall or early winter
freshening is desirable in most parts
of the country. there are exceptions
to the rule. The dairyman who has
a steady market for milk at fair
prices during all seasons of the year
will usually find it to his advantage
to keep the supply fairly uniform
from month to month. The percent-
age of cows that should freshen each
month in the year will vary to some
extent in different localities and on
different farms in the same locality
At present in market milk districts
there is usually a surplus of milk
in the late spring and early summer,
and more cows should be allowed to
freshen in the fall.

The bulletin should prove to be a
valuable guide for solving the fresh-
ening problem or any farm. It may

WHOLE MILK AND EARLY MA-
TI'RITY

REVOLUTION in feeding meth-
ods that involves not only the
all important economic problem
of early maturity of market poultry
and pigs. but even the question of
reproduction and proliﬁcacy is in-
dirated in the results of a series of
experiments just announced by Prof.
T. J. Newbill of the National Dairy
Council.

Prof. Newbill’s work with pigs,
chickens, puppies and rats follows
closely the work he has been doing
the past few years at Washington
State College with the United States
Department of Agriculture, and later
with Johns Hopkins University in
ro-operation with Prof. McCollum in
their ﬁnding of the “vitamins" and
their place in nutrition of both ani-
mals and man. Not only can such
diseases as beri-beri, scurvy, pelle-
gra and opthalmia be done away
with in the human race by an under-
standing of these vitamins and their
cheap and available
foods as whole milk, fruits, greens
and grasses, but the placing of the
Sunday chicken dinner within reach
‘bf the average family is seen as an
immediate and practical result that
will quickly be assured by the- in-
troduction of whole milk into the
cereal diet of chicks.

The results of these experiments

With and without milk in their'dle'lflh "

Those getting milk are,three_to four
times as big as those receiving milk-
less rations. ,

“With chicks," Prof. Newbill ex-

plains, ‘TChicago could have saved .

and grown to maturity 1,800,000
Sunday chicken dinners out of the
2,000,000 baby chicks bought'this‘
past season if they had been fed a
small amount of whole milk with
their. cereal feed. As it was, nota
million of these chicks were alive
8. month after bought. Commercial
feed manufacturers have been watch-
ing our experiments, and are nowhe-
ginning to balance up these titan-a-

dard cereal rations somewhat by ad- .

ded tankage and whole milk. This
will mean a mature fried chicken
fully three weeks earlier with "a
cheaper growth of said chicken, as
these younger gains are put on
cheaper.” ' "

Director Guy H. Hall of the Na-
tional Institute of Progressive Farm-
ing, who is in close touch with the
live stock situation and the feeding
experiments carried on by Prof. New-
bill, states that the development of
earlier maturing pigs for market,
especially in the dairy districtsis
assured. Canny herdsmen of both
cattle and hogs have long known the
value of whole milk for getting early
and quick growth for their show
herds, and the use of “nurse cows”
in show herds to develop big calves
has been a standard practice from
time immemorial," he says, “while
the feeding. of‘whole milk is not
practical in beef production past/the
weaning stage, it is certain thatgthe'
ﬁndings of Prof. Newbill will stiﬁu
late the development of heavier milk-
ing strains of even the strictly beef
breeds in order to get the earlier de-
velopment of baby beef for the
market.

“Runts in pig families will be eli-
minated and larger families 0f pigs
developed. thus giving the consumer“
and producer added gains from these
findings," explained Mr. Hall. “When
it is understood that the average
number of pigs raised per mother
hog is less than 5. while many pro—
perly fed animals produce and raise
10 or 12, the great possibilities are
seen for the balancing of the feed
of both mother pig and the little
fellows at weaning time. . It isqthe'
all-corn diet that cuts down the size
of litters and brings weak 'runts'
into the hogi’amily circle to cut the
income per hog in half.”

the grooves with tar to seal it and draw
it up tight. but when I came to take the
silage out there were 8 inches spoiled
around the outside. The next year the
sam thing occurred. Also the doors are
not tight. all there is to hold them is a.
groove to set in and of course I have a
lining for them to lean against. Can
you tell me of some way to fasten and
,draw them up a ainst the silo?~—-J. F..
Traverse City. Mic .

The essential features for a silo
to preserve ensilage are: That it be
air tight, that the walls be smooth
and perpendicular, and that it be,
strong enough to stand the. spread-
ing pressure. ’

The ensilage spoiling next to the

silo wall would indicate that the -,

wall is not air tight. Although
you have not. stated, I judge that
the silo is a wooden one, and it is
difﬁcult to advise how to make it
air tight without seeing it.

The doors might be made air
tight by putting wooden bars across
the outside of the door ways and
keeping the doors tight to the frame
by the use of bolts and thumbnuts.

mm MILK FROM, REAR TEATS

I have a" cow that leaks milk out or her
there

 

hind teats, would like to know it
is any way to stop iL——O. I?" Coleman,
Mich. '

If thiscase is not too bad I would
advise you to let well enough alone,
hOWever, in. extremly bad cases a.
red hot stillett is inserted in the
teat, 'whe'n the" cow is dry. When
"the wound heals" the opening is us—
ually smaller. An old fashioned knit-
ting needle makes a very satisfactory
instrument’ for' the operation.

 

A SERIOUS OPERATION

I have a nice Jersey heifer call that
will be two years old in February. This
call! has two teats that are together as
per. enclosed sketch. Would like to know
whether I could cut an incision between
the teats and it so, what should I use
and how should I go about it? There is
no veterinarian in this locality, hence
my reason for undertaking it myself. Any
information will be appreciated—E. J.
L., Luzerne, Mich. .

I would suggest that you do not
attempt to perform this operation
yourself. It is quite a serious oper-
ation and requires the. skill of a good
veterinarian to perform it success-
fully—John P. Hutton, Assoc. Prof.

of Surg. and Med., M. A. C.

 

RUNNING SORE ON JAW

I have a 5-year-old horse that has a.
running sore on the point of the lower
jaw, about half way back. It has been
running for 5 months and smells bad.
Do you think it is caused from atooth
or broken bone? He can eat corn good.—
W B.. Carleton, Mich. n

This is due to a bad tooth or in—
jury to periosteum covering the bone.
In either case it would be necessary
to have a veterinarian examine this

horse. ,

 

HORSE SWEENEYED

Please advise me in regard to my horse,
He was sweeneyed some/time ago and
want to know if there is any cure for
him. and also how and when to use it.—
Subscriber, Alcona county, Mich.

The conditions can be cured in
most cases. The treatment, however,
would be rather dh’licult and unsafe
for the ownwr to apply himself. I
would suggest that you take your
horse to a competent veterinarian
for treatment and I bp‘icvo he will
bring the horse out all right for you
in the course of two or three months.
—John P—. Hutton, Assoc. Prof. of
~Surg. and Med., M. A. C.

 

NOSE DISCHARGES

My mare is eleven year old, and her
nose runs yellow pus. I took her to a
veterinary here and he treated her for
about six weeks. This didn’t seem to do
any good, and I used ten drops of carbolic
acid to four ounces. of water and sprayed
her nose with this three times a day for
about four‘ weeks. which didn't do any
good. Her nose bleeds some after every
spraying, otherwise she is in good ﬂesh
and has a good appetite. This veterinary
says her teeth are in good condition. Will
you please tell me What to do for her
nose?-—-B. E. D., Antrim County, Mich.

If the discharge from the nose has
an offensive odor and runs from only
one nostril, it is very symptomatic
of a decayed tooth.

If, on the other hand, the dis-
charge is from beth nostrils, it is no
doubt caused by catat'rhm condition
of the mucous membrane, and in this
case you will ﬁnd a very satisfactory
treatment, and in fact a. permanent
cure can usually be accomplished by
one dram each of dried sulphate of
iron and powdered nux vomica twice
daily. “This treatment must be con—
tinued until results are obtained.

Forty Acres
of Faith and Works

{Fl could have my wish, every man and woman who is
thinking of buying a motor car for use on a farm would
spend a day in Jackson seeing how the Earl is manufactured
in our three great plants.

You would not have to know all about high-grade mate-
rials and production methods to see where the Earl gets
the endurance, economy, beauty and ﬂexible power which
make it the most comfortable, dependable and economical
motor car sold at the moderate price of $1095.

From the huge hammers forging crank shaits and forty
other units out of ﬁve kinds of white-hot steel—through
acres of automatic machines—to the paint shop with its
sixteen ﬁnishing operations—your factory tour would im-
press Earl quality and craftsmanship on you at every step.

 

Touring Car, $1095
Cabn'ole, $1395
Custom Roadster, $1485

 

 

 

Backing up the car’s striking beauty, astonishing road
performance and economy, this visible, built-in quality
and durability are responsible for the enthusiasm of Earl
owners and the overwhelming demand which has kept the
factory working three shifts of men in many departments.

The Earl is on display in some near-by city. If you
can’t come to Jackson, go in and size it up. Ride in it.
Take the wheel yourself. I know it is the kind of motor
car you can aﬁord to Own and drive.

RATION FOR \VINTER EGGS
F you want Winter eggs, duplicate
spring conditions. Vm‘icty i0- "’1-
portant in the Winter ration.
Eggs cannot be produced unless the
feed contains the material from
which eggs are made. An egg is
about 10 per cent fat; 15 per cent
protein, 74 per cent water, and 1
per cent ash, chieﬂy lime.

‘3‘ Rip - . .

\\\\\\\\

-\
\T tein.
. . furnish

Don’t give too much grain in the
morning. Keep the hens hungry—'—
then they will be busy all day. Late
in the afternoon give all the grain
the hens will eat. A hen’s crop
should be full when she goes to roost.
Eggs cannot be produced unless
plenty of feed is given. One hundred
and twenty eggs weigh 15 pounds.
Considerable raw material must be
furnished to make 15 pounds of ﬁn—

~ ished product.

Mill Feed with Milk or Beef Scrap
————The winter laying ration should
contain mill feed with either milk or
beef scrap.

These contain the protein —— the
bone and tissue building feeds.
About 15 per cent of an egg is pro-
You can’t get eggs unless you
in the hen’s feed, the ma-

‘ terials from which eggs are made.

An experiment at the WestVir—
ginia station showed that a flock of

I hens fed a carbonaceous or corn ra-

\FAT' \ A”

Grain, especially corn, furnishes‘
the carbon and starch—the heat and
fat—making foods; mill feeds, with
milk or beef scrap furnish the pro-
tein. Some green food is necessary
in winter to furnish succulence and
bulk.

Give the hens all the wafer they
will drink; warm it, if possible.
Furnish grit to grind the foo. .wmt-
er shell for making the egg shell,
and charcoal as an aid to digestion.

Everybody/ gets eggs in the spring.
Why? Because spring is the natural
laying season. If we want eggs at
other times of the year we must
“fool” the hen by duplicating spring
conditions as nearly as possible.

Variety Important—Variety is im-
portant in the winter ration. A hen
craves and seeks different kinds of
food. In the spring and summer
when she ranges on the farm she
when there is no grass or clover, no
bugs or worms, when the water is
frozen over, when the snow is on the
ground so that she cannot pick up
bits of gravel and sand, these things
must be furnished in her feed.

A hen is different from most ani-
mals. She will balance her own
ration 'if given an opportunity. If
the following feeds or suitable sub—
stitutes are always within reach of
your hens, you can rest assured that
you are giving them the best pos-
sible winter ration:

Grain—Corn is the best poultry
feed there is. It is so good that
too many feed nothing but corn.
That is the trouble. A recent In—
diana investigation showed that one—
lialf of the farmers of that state feed
corn alone. '

About 10 per cent of an egg is
fat. Corn ‘contains carbon and
starch—the heat and fat—making
foods. Feed corn—the hens need it,
both for body maintenance and for
egg production, but bear in mind
that com alone does not contain all
the food elements necessary to pro—
duce eggs.

For the sake of variety it is a
good plan to feed wheat and cats
with the corn—that is, if these
grains are not too'expensive in your
section of the country. Equal parts
by measure, of corn, wheat and oats
make a good grain mixture.

These grains should be mixed and
scattered in a deep litter so that the
hens will have to. scratch for it. In
planning a laying ration, exercise is
as important a. factor as food. Th
busy herpis the laying hen. , -

\\

tion produced only 9,780 eggs in
seven months, while an exactly sim—
ilar ﬂock fed a nitrogenous ration—~—
that is, a ration containing bran with
beef scrap or milk—produced 17,—
459 eggs. .

The various mill feeds are rich in
protein and are ,easily digested.
Equal parts, by measure, of bran,
shorts and corn meal make a good
mixture. Put your beef scrap with
this, if you are feeding beef scrap
instead of milk.

This food group is so important
that we discuss it in the chart fol-
lowing.

Green Feed—Diiring the winter
the hens need some substitute for
the grass and clover and other green
food which they get in the summer.

Alfalfa leaves, either dry or
steamed, make as good a substitute
as you can ﬁnd. Feed stores catering
to commercial‘ poultrymen charge
from $18 to $25 for chopped alfalfa.
This is not as good as alfalfa leaves
alone, for both the stems and leaves
are used in making the chop feed.

Clover leaves may take the place
of" alfalfa. The Ontario Experiment
Station says that “One hundred hens
will eat from a peck to a bushel of
alfalfa or clover leaves a day.”

Cabbages, beets, kale or turnips-—
any of the root stocks—are good
green feed for your hens. if you
have a surplus of these in the ”all.
store them, and feed them to you.r
hens in the winter.

Water —About 74 per cent of an
egg is water. Often the single fact
that your hens do not have enough
water in the winter is responsible
for your getting no eggs. 3

It. is difﬁcult to furnish plenty of
water when the temperature is be-
low freezing. If you give buttermilk,
skim milk, or steamed alfalfa or
clover hay it Will help out on the
water proposition. At any rate,
some way or other, hens should be
provided with all the water they can
drink—4f it can be warmed a little,
so much the better.

Grit, Oyster Shell and Charcoal—
Keep a supply'of grit, oyster shell
and charcoal before the fowls in the
winter. The more you can coax your
hens to eat and to assimilate, the
more material they will have to turn
into eggs. , If we want our hens to

,lay, we must not only nourish.the

body, but they must have enough
material left over" for egg production..
Grit helps to grind the food; oys-
ter shell furnishes the (lime for the
egg shells; charcoal furnishes no
nourishment bpt aids digestion and
helps keep the‘ bowels in good: con-
diticn.
hogs. Don’t/forgetuthat a little of it
will be good tor'your hens. -

here had work. ' ,

I could tell of our splendid (1')

We all know this but we don’t ever

more work is done, there’s less
crime, more morality, more churches,
better citizenship, everything that
makes a city great an yet I don’ t tell
nobody ’bout it. I don’t have to
’cause the town speaks for itself,
an’ that in large numbers.

But, folks, ’ an I mean OUR folks
’at live near Battle Creek, my farm—
er friends, I’m talkin’ to you, do
you know ’at we’ve got jest ’bout

then “jest wait a minute.” Why folks
he wuz jest ’bout the busiest man

look at their books an’ this is what
I diskivered: “The Battle Creek
Farm Bureau is a purely business
affair. Organized by our farmers,

HIS is a time for investment in Titan 10-20 or

International 8- 16 tractor power. Make your choice
and get the complete outﬁt from the McConnick-Deering '
dealer. Every day, keep this efﬁcient power at work at
your fall plowing and other drawbar work, and tie it up
to all sorts of belt machines. By winter time you will
be enthusiastic about the all- around usefulness and
economy of International Harvester tractors. -

These tractors have enormous reserve power, as : ,
every owner knows. They pull their plows in all soils
with the greatest ease, and they have extra belt power
in proportion. They are famous for long life. As the
seasons go on you will ﬁnd them outlasting smaller,

inferior tractors, actually by several years. You will ﬁnd
also that they do their best work on kerosene and that
the expense of repair and upkeep is remarkably low.

These are the greatest of all power farming values——
bar none. Nearly a hundred thousand owners are
proving it. Be guided by their judgment. See the
McCormick-Deering dealer.

WHEN WRITING TO ITS ADVERITSERS


TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW

HERE is no use concealing the

fact that the immediate future

looks mighty dark to most
people. The partial settlement of
the coal difﬁculties have cleared the
atmosphere a little, but the public
is to be charged with the conse-
.;. quences of the strike through the
increased price of coal, and many in-
dustries are threatening to ,shut
down rather than pay the exhorbi-
tant prices which the operators are.
asking.

The agricultural outlook is. equal-
ly discouraging. Prices have drop-
ped all along the line the last two
weeks, but seemed to have found
bottom again. Thedownward rush
of wheat prices which started about
three weeks ago seems to have been
checked, and the tendency is again
upward.

As discussed editorially in this
issue, Dr. Friday, M. A. C. president,
predicts that farm product prices
will stabilize on a somewhat lower
level than they are today. The rea-
sons are explained in our editorial
on page 12. Farmers have suffered
severely already from the lower
prices and they don’t like to think
that the situation will get any worse.
When this stabilization is to take
place Dr. Friday does not say. It may
come about within another few
months but on the contrary it may
be deferred for another year. Per-
sonallywe shall be very much sur—
prised if the general level of farm
prices is as high three months from
now as at present. We think wheat
prices will recover at least partially
and perhaps wholly from the de-
clines of the past six months.
look for lower corn, cheap .pork and
certainly very cheap potatoes. Beans
will, we think, stay up to pretty
close to the September option of
$5.75, though they may temporarily
drop below that ﬁgure for a few
weeks immediately following the har-
vesting of the crop. We believe
bean growers should watch their
marketing very carefully and avoid
over—loading the market. We be-
lieve Mr. Drces is entirely correct and
sincere in his statement published
under the bean market in this issue
when he cautions the growers
against ﬂooding the market. Sugar
prices will, we believe, tend upwards.
But whether this will happen in time
to beneﬁt the farmer on the sliding
scale contract we are not in a posi—
tion to say. Our guess is that any
pronounced increase in sugar prices
will take place AFTER the period
forwhich the beet price is determ-
ined rather than BEFORE.

The great plen‘titude of farm crops
this year is not, singularly enough,
hailed by the ﬁnancial interests as a
forerunner of great prosperity. Or-
dinarily these interests hail large
agricultural production as an insur-
ance of prosperity for the farmer,
but they have recently learned the
fallacy of this theory. Farmers have
seen many worse winters than the
coming one is likely to be, but they
have also seen some better ones. We
think that just a good old—fashioned
winter, like we used to have before
the war which brought us most of
our foolish extravagant notions, is
just ahead of us.

 

  
 
    
 

 

WHEAT

Wheat actually touched the dollar
mark which we predicted it would
several weeks back, but both cash and
future grain are up a little from the
season’s low. This is really the one-
bright ray in the situation. The
crop is all harvested in this country
and threshing is about completed.
The speculators know approximately
What the supply is to be and they
must realize that it is none too great
for the demand. Any stiffening of
wheat prices at this particular time
is certainly encouraging. Export de-
mand has taken another slump de-
spite the lower prices, and there=is
plenty of cash grain on the market.
The rail strike is about the only
bullish factor in the situation and as
long as it remains unsettled prices
will stay up and may go higher.

to takes chances of not being able
to get it, and are consequently on the
anxious seat and taking grain rather
freely. Mills are also buying actively.

CORN

During the past fortnight prices
in the corn market have advanced
and declined but the' close of last
week found them at the same level
at Detroit that they were two weeks
previous. At Chicago prices were
slightly better than they were on
August 12th. The market showed
a ﬁrm tone much bf the time the
past couple of weeks and offerings
were taken about as fast as the
grain was put on the market. Re:-
ceipts were of fair volume. Reports
of crop damage come from the corn
belt.

BEANS

As the new crop period approaches
the price of beans begins to sag.
Prices have dropped nearly $2 per
hundred. in the last sixty days. There
are no more beans today than then;
the public is eating just as many;
and still the price is $2 less. We
wonder if this seeming phenomenon
Would have happened just the same
if the bean growers controlled the
marketing of their product?

A. B. Cook, master ’of the State
Grange, believes that the bean grow-
ers can and should control their
crop from the ﬁelds to the consumer.
He thinks that an organization could
be perfected among the growers of

*3 _

the six important states which could
legally and justly determine a price
year! in and year out below which
none of them would'dispose of their
crop. It has been tried before with
other crops, but without success.
Does human nature present unsur-
mountable difﬁculties to such con-
trol? Right in this connection, Mr.
Frank B. Drees, secretary Michigan
Bean Jobbers’ Ass’n, writes the
editor that he does not altogether
agree with a statement recently pub-
lished in these colunms that the bean
jobbers can dictate to a certain ex-
tent the price of beans. This letter,
which. follows, is interesting and con-
tains a good deal of the truth. Read
and proﬁt thereby: ‘

“I have read the ‘article on beans
in your issue of August 19, with a
great deal of interest and the sent—
ence, ‘The Michigan Bean Jobbers
are in a position this year to dictate
within a certain Wide range what the
price of beans shall be,’ leads me to
take issue with you on that subject.

“This year the bean growers in
Michigan are in better position to
inﬂuence the price of Michigan beans
than for years past. If the growers
force beans on the elevators faster
than the trade will absorb them,
it will undoubtedly result, in lower
prices than would otherwise be ne-
cessary.

“The efforts ofthe farm organiza-
tions to control the price of wheat
has been unavailing, but the ’situa-
tion in regard to beans. is very dif—
ferent as there are only ﬁve or six
states which raise beans commer—
cially and from all information we
can gather from sixty to sixty—ﬁve
per cent of all the white beans
grown in the United States will come
from Michigan this year.

‘_‘We ﬁrmly believe there will be
no over production even with Michi-
gan bumper crop, and if the farmers
will distribute deliveries through the

year, there is no reason why a fair ~

price should not be maintained.

“I have talked with many leading
bean jobbers and elevator managers,
and they would prefer to handle the
crop all through the year, rather
than to have to close their picking
rooms during several months in sum=
mer.

“The high prices which have ruled
during the past ﬁve months were
brought about strictly through law
of supply and demand and in no de—

strike against low prices. If pota-. ' " }f

everyone believes they will take the
growers of the leading states may," .
have to pursue some such drastic-

We predicted some few weeks ago
that the fall potato market would‘
not open above 75 cents. We do not
now see how it can open that high, ‘
in view of the extremely low prices ‘
which the early varieties are now
bringing. The Detroit jobbing price .
on New Jersey potatoes is less than; .-
$1 'per bushel which means that the
New Jersey grower did not receive
over 75 to 80 cents. The prospects
now are for a larger crop of pota-'
toes than the country can proﬁtably
use, but that is no reason for the
growers s-tampeding the, market and ‘ 3
making a bad situation worse. There 9
will be many potato growers as there

of exhultant satisfaction. The girl-

her blue eyes ﬁlled with the ﬂash of
lightning. She came down the single

out a hand.

“Don't take olence, girly," he ex-
postulated. “Look here——a.in’t it

He got no farther. The man in the
door had advanced, placing himself
at the girl’s side. His voice was low
and unexcited.

“You have made a mistake?" he
said.

clean-cut strangely attractive face,
his slim build, the clear and steady
gray of his eyes. ‘

"Yes. I have made a mistake—
a terrible mistake!” .

“I tell you it ain't fair to take
