value last year. Production lore-
casts announced Sept. 8th by the de-
partment of agriculture indicate this
year’s important crops will aggregate
approximately $6,600,000.000, calcu-
lating their value at September 1

$47,000,000 and peaches $36,000,-
000.

This year’s indicated crops will
have a value, calculated unofﬁcially
and based on September 1 farm
prices. as follows:

VVlwat. $720,600,000; corn, $1,-
801,900,000; oats, $404,100,000;

AN ECHO OF THE 1918 WOOL
DEAL
EMURRERS ﬁled by Messrs.
Brown & Adams and R. E.
Smith, wool dealers of Boston,
denying the right or the United
States government to collect excess
proﬁts on the 1918 wool clip have
been overruled by Judge Morton of
the United States District Court at
Boston. This is the third victory of
the government establishing the vali-
dity of the 1918 wool regulations.
The proceedings instituted against
the ﬁrm of Brown & Adams involves
the collection of nearly $300,000 and
the case against R. E. Smith involves
the sum of $32,000.'

plans in selling farm produce and collective buy-
ing of what farmers require for their home needs.
. t it

Pennsylvania farmers: however. are still away
behind the agriculturists of the Northwest in this
new marketing game. '

Of Minnesota’s 800 creameries, 600 are now
co~operative, that is too say creameries owned and
operated by the farmers themselves. Moreover,
the farmer who once railed at trusts now sees the
sense of economy in unity of'eﬂort and consoli—
dation of business.

Those 600 Minnesota farmer-owned creameries
have been organized into one big association. A
soap—box orator would surely call it a creamery
trust.

Anyhow, Minnesota farmers are proud of what
they have done and they boast more co—operative
creameries in that state than in all the other 47
states of the Union combined.

This wholesale method of doing things on the
farm set the city people in Minneapolis ,and St.
Paul thinking. ‘

“Why,” they asked,
milk wholesale?”

The sequel to that query is :1. Milk Consumers
Association. It buys milk wholesale from the
farmers association, and is able to sell it to city
consumers for about 9% cents a quart. That

“should we not buy our

 

BARUCH ADVISES FARM BLOC ON
RURAL FINANCES

HE most important business before Congress
today is to enact legislation that will put
the farmers on a acredit equality with other
lines of business. It makes little difference what
particular rural credit bill you enact to bring
that about. Amend it later if need be but enact
some credit measure at once that will rescue this
fundamental industry before it is too late.”

That is the way Bernard M. Baruch concluded,

his conference last Friday with the ﬁnance com—
mittee of the Senate farm bloc, which was attend-
ed also by a number of other senators. Mr.
Baruch was invited to give its members his views
regarding rural credits in general,
ticular regarding the Simmons, Norbeck, Capper
and Lenroot bills on that subject.

All four of the bills aim at giving agriculture
or live stock raising or both access to short time
investment funds through the issue of short time
notes or debentures with some sort of sanction
by the Federal government. The Lenroot bill
is supposed to follow the general lines of the
recommendation of the Joint Commission on
Agricultural Inquiry and provides that the Fed-
eral Land Banks shall create commodity loan de-
partments and issue short time debentures to ﬁ-.
nance its loans. It would appropriate a million
dollars for each of the twelve land banks. The
Norbeck bill would create a. special government
corporation with a capital of $200,000,000 to‘
take over the War Finance Corporation. The
SimmOns Bivll would create a similar corporation
with a capital of $500, 000, 000" and the Capper

bill would establish livestock loan corporations

and in par-I

allows for the dividend declared by the Milk Con-
sumers’ Association, because it was able to earn
a go'od proﬁt on milk at ten cents.

What also does the consumer get out of this
dual milk trust affair? The farmers insist that
the quality of their milk has gone up and that
Minneapolis gets its milk at the lowest “spread”
——which is the difference between the price paid
to the farmer and the price paid by'the consumer
——of any big city in America.

It is a curious fact that the Milk Consumers‘
Association which works so harmoniously with
the Milk Producers’ Association was the outcome
of a labor union strike. The milk—wagon drivers
did it and they are now the very hardest workers
in their effort to market the milk of Minnesota
at the lowest possible cost.

A great merit of the plan of reducing the sell—
ing price of milk to consumers in Minnesota has
been a decided increase in the quantity of milk
used. That is counted by farmers a great gain.

The ofﬁcial ﬁgures show that in eight months,
the sale of Minnesota milk in the Twin Cities,
due to a decreased price, had risen 60 per cent.
indeed, the farmers have considered an extensive
advertising campaign to further still more the
consumption of milk.

it t i

Nowhere else has co—operative selling by pro-
ducers gone farther than in California.

You cannot read any popular magazine today
without noticing the advertisements of “Sun-
Kissed” or “Sun-Maid” fruits. ‘

Raisin growers, orange growers, walnut grow—
ers, lemon, grape fruit and other orchardists are
all combined for purposes of salesmanship. They
know when it is best, to sell and how. Their pro—
ducts are marketed in bulk and not by indivi-
duals.

Those California fruit and
by advertisements popuarizod their products and
vastly increased their consumption. But they
have done most by combining to soil economically
what they have produced.

The Fruit G-rowors’ Exchange is almost as
much of an institution in California. as the Cotton

Exchange is in New Orleans. -

There still remains a great new field to be cul—
tivated before we reach a saner state in the mat—
ter of city distribution.

Some time in the not remote future you will
not see forty different delivery wagons visit a
city block in one day, any more than you now see
forty different vehicles hauling mail to yourself

and your neighbors.

Half a dozen rival bread wagons, as many com-
peting milk wagons, coal wagons, laundry wagons
and ice wagons, many of them working at less
than capacity, will not pass your door each morn-
ing as they likely do today.

The great economic boon which came from
railway consolidation was the elimination of du-
plicate service—covering the same ground two
or three times when once is sufﬁcient.

On the original small scale America would
now need 10,000 iron and steel mills to supply
our demands. What a fearful price the consumer
would pay for his' steel if we had that vast num-
ber of competing little mills doing the work now
accomplished by a hundred big ones!

In the matter of production there has been,
outside of agriculture, a swift tendency toward
bulk in order to obtain economies.

But \in the matter of city distribution we are
largely today in the primitive state of our great _
grandfathers except in this—~they usually carried
home their purchases whereas we now expect
ten or a dozen different delivery wagons to fetch
them to us.

Our ancestors knew neither the luxury nor the
heavy tax entailed when a spool of thread is car-
ried ten miles in a $4,000 delivery truck and
placed in the purchaser’s hand and probably sent
back next day by a similar vehicle and exchanged
gratis for another spool of thread.

Cash and carry home is one of the wholesome

,ways for consumer-s to reduce their cost of living. ..

 


Mlchlgan 1922 StateFalr Greatest ye

Fords $4,000,000 5‘Evolution of Agriculture” Exhibit and $300, 000 Coliseum Among Features Which

ORE than 300,000 people throng—
ed the Michigan State Fair
grounds September '1-10, and
saw what was, without the slightest
exaggeration, the greatest exhibition
of agricultural and industrial pro-
ducts ever held in Michigan.

In practically every department the

exhibits were more numerous and ex-
celled in quality those of other years.
Although additional room-had been
provided for what appeared ‘would
be a normal increase in exhibits, even
these facilities were taxed to the ut—
most and necessitated the use of
every available foot of space. It was
generally predicted that last year’s
exhibit of livestock, had about reach-
ed the limit, both’ in quantity and
quality, but there was an increase in
nearly every class of this department
this year. Plans that, were drawn a
few months ago for a new sheep and
swine barn must, be revised and en—
largcd providing the number of ani—
mals shown this year is any criterion
'of what may be expected in future
years.

As fairs go there is of necessity
considerable similar‘ty between one
year's exposition and anothcr’s. But
this year‘s state fair attracted sev—
eral remarkable exhibits which had
never been shown in bilichig‘an before.

Chief among these was the Henry
Ford exhibit showing the “evolution
of agriculture." from the. stage when
much of the farm work was done by
hand or with the crudest sort of im-
plements up through the various de—
velopments in farm machinery to the
efficient. and labor—savii‘g devises of
the present age. The Ford exhibit.
ccupied several acres of ground and
was without doubt the

the new discoveries which a visit to
this tent and that revealed in the
uses to which a tractor can be‘ put.
Another exhibit in the Ford show-
ing was that of a locomotive which
Henry Ford, acquired with his pur-
chase of the Detroit, Toledo & Iron-
ton road. This locomotive was re-
built in the Ford shops at River
Rouge and is supposed to be quite
the latest in modern locomotives.
Visitors were permitted to mount the
cab and examine the highly polished
mechanism of the giant engine.
Coliseum Wonderful Building

The Coliseum which was built this
year at arcost of about a quarter of
a million dollars was thrown open to
the public on Labor day. The struct—
ure has seating capacity for RiOOO
people. In the center of the building
is a great oval arena which served
as the judging stand for the cattle
and horses. The annual live-stock
parade which was formerly conducted
before the grandstand was put on
this year Lnside the Coliseum and was
witnessed by about 5,000 people.
Never has the Fair been able to
show its live-stock exhibits to such
good advantage and the importance
of live—stock .in the state’s agricult—
ure seemed to take on a new signiﬁ—.
cance as the hundreds of prize beaut-
ies, were led in single line of march
around the arena.

The State Fair Coliseum is one of
the ﬁnest buildings of its kind in the
United States and is certainly a
great credit to both the institution
and to the state. It is expected
that it will be used for all kinds of

large gatherings and made entirely.

,self- supporting.

Dairy Exhibits Excel

One of the cleverest pieces of
sculptoring ever showu. on the Fair
grounds was a life-size reproduction
of a boy pushing a wheel—barrow,
bearing a pumpkin, the entire set
done in butter by Sculptor Wallace of
LinColn, Neb. Last year Mr. Wal—
lace’s contribution was a life—sized
ﬁgure of a Jersey cow and milking
maid. The cheese exhibit contained
63 specimens of American, Swiss and
Italian cheeses, the majority of the
offerings being from farm—owned

cheese factories in the lower and, up--

per peninsulas. The M. A. C. exhibit-
ed one cheese which alone weighed
100 pounds.
Horseshoe Contest

Farmer devotees of horseshoe
pitching will be very much chagrined
to hear that the Business Farmer
cup was won by a city “feller,” Mr.
L. M. Wilks of Battle Creek. But
inasmuch as Mr. Wilks will have to
defend his title for three years in
succession there is plentv of oppor-
tunity for the. cup to be wrested from
his hands. The State Fair tourna—
ment was the ﬁrst state championship
meet to be held in Michigan and was

“participated in by pitchers from all

over Michigan, most of whom were
winners in the county farm bureau
tournaments. A total of 32, most of
them farmers, pitched in the prelim-
inary games. Owing to the lack of
facilities on the grounds, it was nec—
essary to hold the tournament on the
inside race track which excluded the

croWd. Next year, it is announced
by the management, a portion of the
grounds will be set aside for “1°C
horseshoe tournament.’ »

In the ﬁnals, Wilks won 19 games
and lost one, and Akers duplicated '
'the feat, Wilks winning easily, how— _
ever, in the play- off between the tWo. ‘ ‘
In one game Wilks threw 20 ringers. ;

Other prize winners in the horse-
shoe contest were, G. W. 'Akers,
Williamston;
son; T. L. Richmond, Detroit; John
Howe, Flint; B. D. Tuttle, Walled
I e“'e' Virgil Newman,‘Leslie; H. L.

Governor Opens Fair \
The ‘State Fair was ofﬁcially open- -
ed by Gov. A. J. Groesbeck who com-
plimented the managements highly
upon the excellent exposition and
voiced his desire and intention as
governor to help make the Michigan
State Fair the “greatest in the
world”. He promised his support to
replace the old frame structures on
the grounds. as time and money per—
mitted with modern buildings, and
expressed his belief that

Fair in point of hoth in—
terest and education.

was cut with a ﬂail.
Henry Ford and Geo. W.
Dickinson. the Fair man—
ager, threshed out a few
grains to show the
crowd just how it. used to be done.

Chief interest centered about the
collection of antique farm imple—
ments which was said to be the most
complete and valuable collection of
its kind in existence. This exhibit
contained more than a score of old—
fashioned plows, drags, binders, etc.
The oldest relic in the group was a
mould—board plow built in 1770, and
of the type which Geo. Washington
undoubtedly used on his Mount Vern—
on plantation. Other relics included
a tread-mill for churning operated by
a dog or a horse—driven tread—mill
which was used fifty or seventy—ﬁve
years ago 011 some farms to create
power for divers forms of farm work.

Another interesting display showed
the development of the Ford Motor
and automobile, including the first
machine which Henry Ford ever built
that actually ran under its own pow—
er. It is a curious-looking vehicle
compared with the modern automo—
bile and carries its “one~lung” motor
at the rear. Other automobiles were
shown which revealed the gradual de-
velopment of the Ford machine. In
connection with this exhibit was the
six millionth motor made by the Ford
people. Up to Sept. 2nd, 6,4,79,739
motors had been turned out by this
concern

Scattered about the Ford exhi bit
were several scores of trucks and
tractors performing almost every
conceivable kind of labor andva good
deal which the average man would
never conceive as possible for such
machines to perform. Visitors to the

take her position as a leader
in the affairs of the world. 'Dr.
Friday showed why he didn’t think
prices of farm products would be any

expressed his doubt that the middle-'
man was to blame.for the farmers?
poor returns and the consumers’ high
prices, which statement precipitated
an argument with a farmer in. the

somewhat.

1y of canvas. Now and then a struc-
ture of logs added an appearanCe of
solidity to the whole. The girl did
not look too closely. She knew that
they passed places in which there
were long rows of cots, and that
others were devoted to trade. She
noticed signs which advertised soft
drinks and cigars—always "soft
drinks," which sometimes come into
camp marked as "dynamite,” “salt
pork" and “ﬂour.” She was cons—
cious that every one stared at them
as they passed. She heard clearly
the expressions of wonder and curio-
sity of two women and a girl who
were spreading out blankets in front
of a rooming~tent. She' looked. at
the man at her side. She appreciat-
ed his courtesy in not attempting to
force an acquaintanceship. In her
eyes was a. ripple of amusement.

"This is all strange and new to
me—and not at all uninteresting,"
she said. “I came expecting—every—
thing. And I am ﬁnding it. Why
do they stare at me so? Am I a
curiosity?”

“You are,” he answered bluntly.
“You are the most beautiful women
they have ever seen.”

His eyes encountered hers as he
spoke. He had answered her ques-
tion fairly. There was nothing that
was audacious in his manner or his
look. She had asked for informa-
tion, and he had given it. In spite
of herself the girl’s lips trembled.
Her color deepened. She smiled.

“Pardon me,” she entreated.
seldom feel like laughing, but I al-
most do now. I have encountered
so many curious people and have
heard so many curious things during
the past twenty—four hours. You
don’t believe in concealing your
thoughts out here in the wilderness,
do you?”

“I haven’t expressed my thoughts,"
he corrected. “I was telling you what
they. think.” '

“Oh—h-h———I beg
again!” *

your pardon

“Not at all,” he answered lightly,

and now his eyes were laughing
frankly into her own. “I don’t mipd
informing you,” he went on, “that I
am the biggest curiosity you will
meet between this side of the moun-
tains and the sea. I am not accus-
tomed to championing women. I al-
low them to pursue their own course
without personal interference on my
part. But-—I suppose it will give you
some satisfaction if I confess it ~—
I followed you into ill’s place be-
cause you were more than ordinarily

 

: ing a mistake.

 
 

beautiful, and because I wanted to
see fair play. I knew you were mak-
I, knew what would
happen.”

They had passed the end of the
street, and entered a little green
plain that’ was soft as velvet under—
foot. On the farther side ‘of this.
sheltered “among the trees, were two
or three mute. The man led the
way toward these. .

“Now, I suppose I‘ve spoiled it
all,” he went ,on, a touch of irony
in his votes. “it, was,

‘ .

 

It was chief:

“I,

 

heroic of me to follow you into Bill’s
place, don't. you think? You probably
want to tell me so, but don’t quite
dare. And I should play up to my
part, shouldn’t I? But I cannot—not
satisfactorily. I’m really s bit dis-
gusted with myself for having taken
as much interest in you as I have.
I write books for a’livlng. My name
is John Aldous.” .

With a. little cry of amazement,
his companion stopped. Without
knowing it, her hand had gripped
his arm. ,

"You are John Aldous—who wrote
‘Fair Play,’ and ‘Women!’ s'he
gasped.

"Yes," he said, amusement in his

face.
"I have read those books-4nd I
have read your plays," she breathed,
a mysterious tremble in her voice.
“You despise women!"

“Devoutly.”

She drew a deep breath.
hand dropped from his arm.

“This is very, very funny," she
mused, gazing off to the sun—capped
peaks of the mountains. ”You have
ﬂayed women alive. You have made
them want to mob you. And yet ”

“Millions of them read my books,"
he chuckled. - , -

“Yes—all of them read your
books,” she replied, looking straight
into his face. “And I guess—in many

Her

 

ways—you 'have pointed out things-

that are true."

It was his turn to show surprise;

"You believe that?"

“I do. More than that—I have
always thought that I knew your so-
cret—the big, hidden thing under
your work, the thing which you do
not rcyeal because you know the
world would laugh at you. And so
-———you despise me!”

“Not you."

“I am a woman.”

He laughed. The tan in his cheeks
burned a deeper red.

”We are wasting time,” he warned
her. “In Bill’s place I heard you say
you were going to leave on the Tete
Jaune train. I am going to take you
to a real dinner. And now—I should
let those good people know your
name.” ’

A moment—unﬂinching and steady
—-—she looked into his face.

“It is Joanne, the name you have
made famous as the dreadfulest wo~
man in ﬁction. Joanne Gray,”

“I am sorry,” he said, and bowed -
If I am not mistaken _

low. “Come.
I smell new-baked bread."

As ~they moved on he suddenly
touched her arm. She 'felt for a
moment the firm clasp of his fing-
ers. There was a new light in his
eyes, a glow of enthusiasm. ' - ‘

“I have it! ” he cried. "You have
brought it to Inc—the idea. I have
been wanting surname for her—{he
woman in my new book. ‘ She n‘to
be a tremendous surprise. I haven‘t
found a‘ name, until now—one that
ﬁts. I shall call her Ladygray!”

He felt the girl ﬂinch. He was

surprised at the sudden startled look ‘

that shot into her eyes, the swift
ebbing of the color from her cheeks.
He drew away his hand at the strange
change in horn He noticed. how
quickly she—was brewing—4111a the

“They won’t hurt youg”. assured
Aldous. “They belong to Jack Bruce .
and Clossen Otto- the ﬁnest in ' __

Another moment, and a woman had
appeared in the door. “Ahd'thntln ‘

women had already met.‘ ' ' -‘ 5'.

Brieﬂy Aldous explained. whet had ~
happened at Quade’s, and that the
young woman was leaving on. the
Tote Jaune train. The good—hum- .
cured smile left Mrs. Ott’s‘ face ‘
when he mentioned Quads. . : .

“I’ve told Jack I’d like to pol’sougﬁf
that man some day,” she cried. “You I - 3

“What always means dinner in the *

“I’m not so hungry, but. I'm'~
tired—so tired," he heard the*gll‘lg”
say as she went in with Mrs; Otto,
and there was a new and strangely
pathetic note in her voice- 'fI.wa.nt ‘
to rest—until the train goes.” ~. _ 2 ~.

He followed them in, and stood fur "
a moment near the door. ‘ '

“There’s a room in there, m ..
dear,“ said the woman, drawing bad: .7
a curtain. “Make yourself at home,
and lie down on the bed until I:
have the tea. ready.” .. . ' ' " . 3

When the curtain -had' closed be-. i
hind her, John Aldous spoke'lnu
low voice to the woman. . . . s

“Will you see her safely to the, ‘. -‘
train, Mrs. Otto?” he asked. "It ‘
leaves at a quarter after two. I-must
be going.” , ,- , ' . .

He felt that he had sufficiently per- .
formed his duty. He left the tent, 1: :-
and paused for a moment outside to . .
touzle affectionately the tra‘mpish
heads of the bear dogs. Then he
turned away, whistling. He' had ,9

WHY WINTER WHEAT Is VALUA- Anon is requir'ed to kéep t

BLE IN THE ROTATION
ORN, oats or. barley, , winter
wheat, clover! Wherever this ro-
V tation is practicable it is the
basis of the most successful farming.

,There is a reason for each crop and ‘

for its place. in the rotation. The
plan is scientifically correct and- may
be made the foundation of profitable
agriculture through generations.

Corn usually makes a first-class
crop on good clover sod.

Probably there is no better seed-
bed for oats, than-good corn land.
0n fall-plowed corn land of about
medium fertility, oats yield excel-
lently both as to quantity and qual-

,,..-ity.

The rotation followed up to this
point prepares the land perfectly for.
winter wheat and the last crop in
the rotation—cloverﬁrarely fails
where seeded with the wheat. Clover-
is really the key crop. When it suc-
ceeds, the other, crops are almost
bound to do well. Thus the wheat
crop is valuable to the entire rota-
tion because of its direct bearing
upon the clover crop.

It has been demonstrated repeat-
edly that in order to obtain the full-
est benefits from fertilizers, a cor-
rect and suitable rotation is neces—
sary. It is common experience that
on good soil, manure gives best re-
sults when applied to corn. On poor-
er soil, it may be advisable to save
some manure, if possible, for the
wheat or clover. On wheat, 21 high-
analysis fertilizer is profitable not
alone because of the increased yields
of wheat, but also because of its ex-
cellent residual effect on the follow-

ing crop.

SWEET CLOVER WITH OATS

Will biennial sweet clover sown with
oats in the spring furnish much pasture
the following year?—_—-M. J., Pigeon, Mich.

Sweet clover makes an excellent
pasture crop the second year. In a
test conducted at the Michigan
Agricultural Experiment Station the
past season, sweet clover pasture
carried, an average of one cow per
acre and the cows on sweet clover
pasture produced as much milk on
the same grain ration and without
insilage as cows on June grass pas-
ture receiving grain and insilage.

Cattle should be turned on sweet
clover early in the season and before
the plants have made a coarse
growth. Some cows refuse to eat
sweet clover fora day or so but
when they receive no other rough-
age for a day or two, they soon be-
come accustomed to the taste and
no further difficulty is experienced.
Some of the cows in the test con—
ducted here the past season ate the
sweet clover from the start. 1

In order to secure a high yield of
sweet clover the seed bed should be
well ﬁrmed, the seed inoculated 'and
the soil should contain plenty of
lime.-—C. R. Megee, Associate in
Farm Crops, M. A. C. \
SOWING SUDAN GRASS AND SOY

BEANS

Would you please tell me if I can
broadcast soy beans and Sudan guess for
hay? What" time should it be cut?—W,
K., Omer, Mich.

Sudan grass and soy beans are

sometimes sown together and the
mixture used for hay. Experiments
indicate that there is not usually
much increase in the feeding value
of the hay.

The following table shows the
proportions of protein and ash in
Sudan grass when grown alone and
when grown with legumes. This test
was conducted by the Ofﬁce of For-
age Crops Investigations, U. S. D. A.

Sudan grass (alone) 6.63 per cent
protein, 7.46 per cent ash; Sudan
grass with soy beans, 7.30 per cent
protein, 10.46 per cent ash; Sudan
grass and cowpeas, 6.40 per cent
protein, 8.6 per cent ash.

The above table would indicate
that there was not a very large dif-
ference in the feeding value in the
mixture and the Sudan grass alone.

When sowing Sudan grass and soy
beans together would suggest using
12 pounds of Sudan grass and from
40 to 60 pounds of soy beans per
acre. This mixture could probably
be sown to the best advantage by
broadcasting.

Now should we plant? Well, the -

To be sure the area of new orch-

idly enough. This is true especially
'Sf peaches. They do not live long
usually and are fast weakening. Soon
there will be a shortage, unless
present indications are much out

The outlook for ‘the apple is
somewhat better. A limited number
of orchards are being planted eVen
with high-priced stock. But then,
again, the demand promises to keep
ahead of the supply for some time

HICRIGAN APRIOOT ORCHARD

”at 70 hearing trees, but is

-" apricot orchard we have thus far —
n able to locate in this state.

The trees are of half a dozen dif-

intent varieties and are from three

1'. Ito tWenty years old. In the begin-

“rang the owuer had little to guide

him in his selection of suitable vari-

‘ 7‘ Nodes, so has tried many kinds and is

” ‘ still looking for more. Nearly every

J year a few trees are planted. Last
spring more than 60 trees were set,
which should more than double the
production of fruit within a few
years.

.‘ Mi'. La Male has faith in the ap-
ricot, “There is no reason,’ ’he says,
“Why it should not have a place
almling Michigan fruits. The first
varieties begin to ripen about the
tenth of July, which is loug enough
beforethe peach to make sure of a.
market. But it is no trouble to
sell our home growu fruit when the

quality is known. It is not and will
not be a substitute for the peach, but
will always have a. place for itself. ”

». 1 For the benefit of those who are

" 7 ' ' interested in the fruit, Mr. La Male
has given us the following points
regarding" apricot culture:

“A good plum soil is best. The
apricot needs more moisture than
the peach. ‘

“The culture is similar to that for
the peach. The ground in a young
orchard should be worked till the
middle of July, then a cover crop put
in.

_ .“There is a leaf rust that some—

times affects the trees, but neither
that nor any other disease has caused

lithe tree is much hardier than

‘ the peach. Our tree on the place was
planted in 1898 and still shows no

‘ signs of old age. The symmetrical
top covers a circle more than 30 feet
in diameter.

“Apricots will endure neglect. Tree
will stand in sod for years and still
produce crops. But good care is
advised and the trees respond gen-
erously. ,

1 “The plum cucules is the worst en.
emy, but it can be controlled by
early and thorough spraying with
arsenate of lead.

Q “There has been no failure in a.

‘p crop since 1912 ‘and some years the

production hasbeen heavy. In this
respect it has done better than the
peach."

_ A COOPERATIVE
FEED BUYING PLAN

The dairyman’s biggest expense is his winter feed bill. By organizing
a. co—operative buying service at this time of the year and ﬁnding out what
quantities of feed farmers will need this winter, feedstuffs can be bought ahead
at favorable prices. Accordingly, we are announcing a

Michigan State Farm Bureau
(lo-Operative Feed Buying}, Service

Whereby farmers may contract now through their local co—Operative assoc-
itions their winter supply of dairy rations for delivery in equal monthly ship—

(ments during the Winter at summer feed prices. The Feed Buying Service is

on the perfect, 24% protein, open—formula, dairy ration

MICHIGAN FARM BUREAU MILKMAKER

Which is approved by the Michigan Agricultural College Dairy Department.
It is one of the bestrations for Michigan dairy herds. Michigan Farm Bureau
Milkmaker is a ration made up entirely from the milk producers’ viewpoint——
to get the most milk for the least investment in feed and keep the cow in the
best of condition.

, Public Formula Protects You
Every bag of M. F. B. Milkmaker from the State Farm Bureaus Feed
Buying Service will carry on.the regular analysis tag the EXACT number of
pounds of each ingredient in the feed! This is important because it enables you
to check up on the price. Here is EXACTY what you are paying for in M. F. B.

RENTER WANTS TO TERMINATE
LEASE

I [have rented a farm. Contract calls
for three years, to be paid by the year.
I gave my note with a backer. Contract
reserves the right to work on property
for mineral any time. Owner has privi-
lege of selling at any time by paying for
my work and at the end of three years
I am to leave 20 acres new eding. Now
I want to quit the place thi fall. Can
I do so without being liable to owner?
I have 15 acres new seeding and have
done a lot of repairiwng I have put up
a woven Wire fence around the house
and garden. Can owner make me leave
it as I have it fastened to the line fence
or can I take down the fence before my
year is up? I have a large quantity of
rye, oats and pea straw. Can I sell it
before I lealve? The contract doesn’t
mention straw and the man renting be-
fore me took it off the place when his
year was up. Owner has my note for
this years rent and owes me $20 for 1a-
bor amd board while working on barn

built on this place and refuses to pay me.

How am I to collect it?—C.
County, Mich.

If you contracted to work a farm
for three years you would have to do
the work according to agreement. If
you made any agreement about leav-
ing the premises by giving notice or
fixed. any way for tenminateing the
contract you 'may terminate it by ob-
serving the terms of the agreement.
Or if you agree with the owner upon
the terms of your leaving before the
time is up, then this agreement will
be binding upon your landlord as
well as upon you. If the wire fence
was placed on premises for your con-
venience and you did not make an
agreement to build and leave it there
then you :may take it away if you
remove it during the time you are in

H., Iosco

possession and control of the prem—

ises. You have the right to sell any
of the products of the farm and rye,
oat and .pea straw are products of the
farm, and can be taken as other .pro-
ducts before your time expires unless
you make some agreement in the
writing with reference to it. You
must abide by the agreement if you
:made one with reference to it. You
have the right to deduct fro-m what

you owe him the amount he owes-

you. You better let the note rim un-
til after it is due so he can not sell
it to an innocent purchaser.--Legal
Editor.

CANNOT TAKE DIRT FROM ROAD
Can I take dirt from my neighbors
side of the road and ﬁll in a ditch on my
side of the road if the county highway
(ommissioner gives me permission to do
it? And if I can’t get permission from the
county highway commision who has the
authority? What is the legal width of a
main highway?—~S. J., Bronson, Mich.

Please be advised that the pro-
perty owners would not have a right
to remove earth from the highway
without the consent of the highway
commissioner having jurisdiction ov-
er the highway in question as the
commissioner is under legal obli-
gation to keep the road in a reason—
ably safe and in condition for pub—
lic travel and should be consulted
by an abutting property owner be-
fore the removal of earth from the
highway as the law also gives the
right for taking the material from
the highway for making improve-
ments to the same as set forth in
Section 19 of Chapter 2 of the Gen-
eral Highway Law.

The above statement also answ-
ers your second inquiry. You should
get permission from the authorities
having jurisdiction river the highway
in question. The legal width of a
highway in this state is four rods,
as speciﬁed in Sec. 20, of Chap. 1,
of the Highway Law. —State High-
way Department.

PREIARY SCHOOL FUND
Please explain the source of state
primary school funds, how obtained, etc.
-—Miss M., Eaton County, Mich.
The language of the first State
Constitution is as f6]10ws:“The pro-

'ceeds of all lands that have been or

hereafter may be granted by the
United States to this State for the
support of schools, which shall here-
after be sold or disposed of, shall be
and remain a penpetual fund, the in—
terest of which, together with the
rents of all unsold lands, shall be
inviolably appropriatetd to the sup-
port of schOols throughout the
State.”

The “perpetual" fund above unen-

School fund. Later, in 1850, Cong-
gress gave hundreds of acres ,of.
swamp land to the state and an act

f

passed which placed the swamp land 1, .

fund upon nearly the same basis-as
the primary school fund by malking
the net proceeds of sales a fi1nd
upon which the State must .pay in-
terest to be used for educational
punposes only, the difference being
that the fund is not a Ipenpetual
one fixed by the Constitution, but a
statutory one and may be changed
by the legislature.

The State has thus become the
debtor to two funds. First—The Pri-
mary School Fund, derived from" the
sale of the sixteenth section in each
township, upon which the State pays
7% interest annually, more common-
1y known as the Seven Per .-Cent
Fund. Second—The ‘Swaimp Land
Fund derived from a sale of swamp
lands, upon which the State pays 5%
interest annually more commonly
known as the Five Per Cent Fund.

In addition to these two sources
of the Primary School Fund, there
is a third that amounts to 1more than
the two together. The Constitutibn
provides that the taxes paid on rail—
roads, telegraph, telephone, and ex—
press companies, and a few other cor—
porations, together with the inheri-
tance tax and money received from

OVVNER’S SHARE OF FARM PRO-
CEEDS

When a farmer rents a large farm to
a renter, the renter to furnish every—
thing and give the owner one-third of
everything that is sold and one-third of
all the increase in stock and the renter
sells anything when is the owner's one-
third due? Now this man comes on
without tools or money and the owner
signs with him to get them, can the
farmer in any way attach the stuff he
has to sell till he makes good to satisfy
the signer?_W. H. B., Dansville, Mich.

If the lease does not provide any
other time for payment of the own-
er’s third it will be due upon sale
of the ploceeds. The farmer can
arrange with the seller of the
goods who holds the notes to put a
purchase price lien upon such pro-
perty as he holds him and take the
property to pay the same upon an
execution issued upon a judgment
for their price—Legal Editor.

WIDOW’S PENSION
I am 1a widow. My husband had been
sick for a year and eight months and is
now dead. I am left with four child-

land and a lot of debts, doctor bills and .

funeral expenses and so on, and no one

let me know if I am eligible to a, Wid-
ow’s pension and if so, who would be the
proper authorities to apply for same?—

MUST PAY TAX ON AMUSEMENTS

Is it compulsary to pay war tax on
public dances and if so, why is it not en—
forced in every county?-—B. M” Blanch—
ard, ‘Mich.

The 1921 U. S. Revenue act pro-
vides that a tax of 1 cent for each
ten cents or fraction thereof of the
amount paid for admission to a
dance (and certain other places of
amusement) shall be paid by the
person paying for such admission;
but where the amount paid for ad—
mission is 10 cents or less no tax
shall be imposed. If anyone is con-
‘ductingva dance hall without collect—
ing and remitting such tax to the
government he is violating the law
and should be reported to the In—
ternal Revenue ofﬁce at Detroit. If
the proceeds of any such dance or
amusement are to- be expended
Wholly for charitable and religious
purposes they are exempt from the
tax.——Editor.

 

CUT-OVER LANDS EXEMZPT FROM
TAXATION

We purchased 80 acres of cut-over
land a year ago, moving on about April
1921. Shortly after I saw some articles
in the Farmers’ Service Bureau Depart—
ment of your paper, about cut-over
land being exempt from taxes. We wait-
ed.for the supervisor to come to assess
but he never came. I have been told he
never does as it is rather out of the
way, but guesses at the valuation. I
wrote to him about getting exempt and
he wrote back that I could not be
exempt for 1921 taxes as they were
turned in on the roll, but to meet the
Board next June and he would see what
could be done. Now as there is only a
branch line running in (here and I-would
have to go out in the afternoon and re-
main away two nights, with two small
chlldren, leaving only a 16—year-old boy
and one 11 years at home to milk and
care for things, I would like some in-
formatIOn if I really have to meet the.
Board; I gathered from the information
in the paper all I would have to do, is
speak to the supervisor and he would
bring it before the board. We put up
a lot of fence, cleared about five acres
or more and have a bank barn .raised
and partly closed in, and some other im—
provements done this last summer. Hope
to do more each year. I would also like
to know If there is a certain amount
can be taxed on the valuation of proper-
ty or can they put on what they like.
This was valued at $450. and my taxes
on it were $32.71. I understand other
years they were about $14.—~Mrs. E. L.,
Osrer, Mich;

'Sec. 4192, of the Compiled Laws,
prov1des for exemption“- from taxes
for 5 years in cut—over lands. It pro-
vides that in order to get the ex-
emption application shall be made to
the supervisor at the time the assess—
ment is made to be exempt. The
superv1sor shall put the description
on the roll in the usual way and re—
fer the matter to the board of re-
v1ew. If they find all the conditions
entitling exemption existing shall
write on the roll the proper entry.
They. shall enter each year the ex-
emptlon and mark the number of the

essary to be present, under the law
to have a consideration and I think

_ the supervisor might and should
have submitted to the board of re-
v1ew u-p0n your written application.
They may have rmar’ked you exempt

There Are Other Worlds Left Yet to Conquer

AVING subjected all nations within reach
H of his iron fist, Alexander the Great la-
mented that there were no more worlds for him
to conquer. And ever since men have pined for
larger fields of conquest and of service

Men’s visions are usually circumscribed by
the sky-line which encircles their horizon. Op-
portunities for service and success lie by the
pathways which all men travel, but they do not
see them. Occasionally someone stubs his toe
and his eye catches an opportunity by the side
of the road, which has lain there unnoticed and
untouched for generations. Then other men
who have passcd that way Shake their heads
and wonder why they too, weren’t born lucky.

Thcrc are just as many undiscovered op-
portunities today as ever before in the history
of the world. That may sound like an. extrav—
agant statement in view of man’s magniﬁcent
accomplishments up to the present age but
When it is remembered that opportunity is
largely the result of changing conditions, it
will be sccn to be 1ruc.

Men who live in small towns and rural com-
munities have the notion that opportunity is
conﬁned to the larger centers of populations.
But it is not so. There are just as many op-
portunities in the rural community and upon
ihc farm for making money, for achieving dis-
tinction, for being a friend to man and for
rendering service as there are in the largest
city in the world.

We do not believe that there is any ﬁeld of
endeavor in the world which offers ’such excel-
lent opportunitics in the above respects as in
the ﬁeld of farming. Farming next to hunting
is the oldest known vocation. But it is only
in the twilight of development. The average
man’s ignorance of the possibilities of farming
is appalling. The soil is not yet producing to
its maximum capacity. The road to the con—
sumer is altogether too long. It must be short-
.ucd. Existing farm credit machinery is still
loo often an instrument of extortion instead of
beneﬁt. in short, farming as a business, isn’t
much farther advanced than it was a century
ago.

Talk about the worlds to conquer! They are
lying at our very doorstep. Where are the men
of vision and unscifishncss to conquer them for
humanity ‘2

 

The League of Nations After Two Years

HE Atlantic Monthly publishes an in-

I formative article by Raymond Fosdick on
the League of Nations after two years of \op—
eration. Here are a few striking paragraphs:
“To.its enemies in the United States the League

of Nations must seem an unconscionabletime
a-dying. For more than two years it has tena-

 

of approaching demise. Occasionally indeed its

than that it shows assurprising vitality. ’In' spite
of hard treatment and some neglect it seems to
gain in strength and purpose.

which it is initiating and guiding, is a. far diff?
erent creature from the feeble offspring which
the Treaty of Versailles so laboriously brought
into the world. For one thing it has more
friends. Only a handful of the larger power
stood sp‘bnsor for it at its birth. It was! eye
with suspicion by the smaller nations." Today
theSe smaller nations are its warmest supporters,
and ﬁfty—one countries are now enrolled under

its 'standar'd, representing more than tour-ﬁfths '

of the world’s population, and nearly three—
fourths of its area.
the supporters of the League is more easily called
than the roll of its membership. Abyssinia, Af-
ghanistan, Ecuador, Germany, Hungary, Iceland,
Mexico, Russia, Turkey and the United States.”

The account which Mr. Fosdick gives of
what the League has actually accomplished is
an inspiring example of co—operating and
felicity between the member nations. In no
instance had the League sought to bring about
peaceful relations between warring nations or
nations threatening to war that it has not been
Successful, and even its enemies have been
forced to admit that there “might be some-
thing after all” to the notions that nations
can settle their disputes without ﬁghting.

Unfortunately, the views of the American
people are still very much colored by the prOp-
aganda they have read against the League in
strong anti-League newspapers and magazines.
Many newspapers and politicians still believe
that the people voted against the League in
1926. Having, as they thought, fooled the
people on the League issue, they must yet to
save their face, keep ’em fooled, and that’s
what they’re trying to do. It may take an-
other presidential election or two to bring the
anti-League press to its sense but that will be
accomplished all in good season

In the meantime, the United States will go.

its own sweet way while the rest of the nations
sit in harmony together discussing and settling
to a remarkable extent some of the world’s
great problems.

 

The .Evolution of Agriculture

ENRY FORD ’s exhibit at the State Fair,
“the evolution of agriculture,” might
perhaps have been better termed, the “revolu-
tion of agriculture.” The term evolution is
associated with slow-moving changes through-
out countless centuries, such as the develop-
ment. of modern man from the stoop—shoulder-
ed ape-visagcd Neanderthal of a half million
years or so ago. But while man’s stature and
intellect changed very slowly there was an al-
most immeasureable space of time when the
implements with Which he tilled the soil chang-
cd not at all. It took him several million years
to bring forth the crudest kind of a wooden
plow; but the steel plow is a product of but a
single century and less. For ages men sowed,
harvested and threshcd their grain by hand.
The seeding machine, the reaper and the thresh-
ing machine were all brought out less than 75
years ago So that it may truly be said that
the last century has seen a veritable revolution
in the methods of farming because of the mar-
velous inventions of farm machinery.

The most recent contribution to power fann—
ing is the tractor, which passed the experiment-
al stage a decade ago and is now recognized
as a labor and money-saving, device upon the
average farm. But the tractor has by no means
as yet reached the zenith of its development
and there are undoubtedly scores of uses for
such machines which the average mind has not
yet dreamed of, or had not at least until Mr.
Ford staged his exhibit.

The wonders shown in the Ford exhibit call
to mind Mr. Ford’s “synthetic cow” at which
the nation has poked a lot of good-natured
ridicule But laugh as we may at. Mr. Ford ’3
"notions” We are hushed into silence and seri_
ousness when we perceive the “impossible”
things he has done.’ Ford is a century or so
ahead of the rest of us, and he is dreaming,
dreaming all the time of a day when man shall
be, emancipated from slavish labor and wrthe

The Gasoline Tax ,

THE most. important subject. winch _-

is that of taxation. There has always: can
more or less complaint against taxes, but
dissatisfaction this year has become so great
and with such good reason that the legislatu
must act to either lower taXes or distribute
them more evenly. _ ' _' .

asked to levy a.» tax on gasoline. Opinion upon a

the gasoline tax is very much devided. . The

automotive industry is supposed to be a unit.» _ _

against this tax and even the farmers them-
selves are not altogether sure that it would be
a good thing. In the Business Farmer’s straw
ballot 190 farmers expressed themselves in fav_
or of such a tax and 42 against it. The ballot
did not disclose what percentage of those vot-
ing owned automobiles or were large users of, .
gasoline,

Although as stated, the automotive industry
is suppossed to be opposed to a gasoline tax,
the various manufacturers
commital or else very guarded ‘in their- 7
remarks on the subject. A letter dispatched
by the Business Farmer to the various manu-
facturers in this state failed to reveal a single
company which was ready to admit publicly
its opposition to the tax. Some merely said
they did not care to express an opinion; others
that the question of financing road building
and maintenance was of such magnitude that
ihcy had not vet found an answer. to it.

The farmers’ taxes must be reduced and it .
will be up to the next legislature to ﬁnd the "
way to do it. .

 

What Was It All About?

T HE coal strike has been Settled—for the

time being,——and the mines are running
again to the limit in an endeavor to make up '
for the precious time which was lost. The
average citizen is still pretty much in the dark
as to the causes of the strike and also the basis
of settlement The miners went back to work
at the same old wages, which is a good thing for
the farmer and the country. No matter who
won'the strike we can’t forget that thousands »
of men were out of employment for- ’ l

AVE‘just been reading yOur ed-

In our territory it has been dry

] now for two weeks and part oi? the

time very hot so it has lowered the
prospects for spuds
points and has shortened up the pos-
.sible bean yield fully 30% and per-
haps mere.

11 If I am any guesser the govern-
ment report on the spud crop will

read altogether different for Octo— ~

her and November 1st than their
estimate for August 1st did.
There are'a good many spots in
the late spud crop territory where
spuds have been greatly injured
since August lst by dry weather, wet
weather, leaf hoppers, late blight
and so on. ' -
Am sending you Snow’s lst of
August estimate on the spud crop.

, You will notice there is a big differ-

ence between his estimate and that
of the government.
' I have always found Snow’s re-

‘ port to be the most reliable of any

crop report. It is always a hundred
million miles ahead of the govern-
ment’s.

What I have written here will cor-
rect your reader’s ideas of the spud
crop. Also of beans if you publish
it. ——A. A. . Lambertson, Montcalm
County, Mich.

We surely hope, friend ,. Lambertson.
that you and Snow are right. But we re-
call that you aways predict higher pota-
to prices in spring than fall. Sometimes
you are right. but often you are wrong.
We quite agree that the October and
November 1st estimates will probably be
lower than the August. They almost al-
ways are. Yet potatoes haven't suffered
much in Michigan or any other potato

from the August still we repeat we hope
we are wrong and you are right—Editor.

BACK TO NORMALCY

Y Dear Uncle: I note

a recent issue of the

F., you ask some questions

pertinent to the present industrial

and political situation in this Land
of the Free.

Sustaining as I do, a more or
less intimate relation to our govern-
ment—by reason of paying taxes
—I may be able to give you a lit-
tle first hand information. 'First
off, I advise you to procure a copy
of Behind the Mirrors. No doubt
you will be able to get it at your
library, and should you never read
another thing in your life, you will
be a pretty well educated man when
you have finiShed the book. This
will give you a line on‘the situation
at Washington.

In the first place you ask if our
president has or has not power to
settle the strikes that‘ now disturb
this country. In his speech to
Congress Mr. Harding says he has
adequate power and authority to
settle both the R. R. and coal strike.
“But,” he adds, “there is no hur-
ry.” You must remember that
Rome wasn’t built in a day, Uncle
Rube. And What can you expect
in the way of legislation when we
pay our president only a beggarly
Seventy-five thousand a year, and

Congressmen have to feather their

that. in

‘nests like broody hens, to obtain a

As an afterthought Mr. Harding

CAUSES OFSTRIKES

WELVE years ago the billionaire
mine-owning interests of our
country had hired gun-men run
armored trains at midnight thru
the valleys of West Virginia, ﬁring
cannon and machine guns' into de-
fenseless tents full of sleeping wo-
men and children, killing and crip-
pling scores of these foreign people

‘who had been thrown out of the bil-

lioniare-owned shacks that day be-
cause they could not pay rent with
the mines not running because of
strikes.

That rich man’s wholesale murder
was never tried in court, yet we raise
the roof; some of us, because the min—
ers “got the drop” on the gunmen at
Herrin, 111.,

of outlaws are to go free in America
and only little boys are to be whipped
in school for bad behavior?

I am a farmer and I blush for my
calling when any farmer writes to

our papers trying to Whitewash high—'

up railroad and mining millionaires,
drawingrmore than Harding’s salary,
which they never offer to reduce, no
matter how low the farmer’s returns
get.

Get wise, Bro. Farmers, and in-
stead of knocking the section hand
and coal-digger, whose mining neith-
er you nor I would do for the price
of two good farms, let us work for
laws keeping these rich outlaws sal-
aries at least as low as Hardings’.—~
C. H. Merriﬁeld, Van Buren County,
Mich.

Don't blame farmers for taking the po-
sition they do on the strike Guestion. They
are the victims of a persistent propa-
ganda the sole purpose of which is to put
the employers in a favorable lkht and the
strikin.‘r employees in an unfznornhle
light. We cannot countenance all that
is done by strikers. Neither should we
countenance all that is done by employers.
We could judge better the respective po—
sitions of thetwo if the press would give
us more facts and less editorial opinion.

ABOI’T THE
COOK ER
ROM the deluge of inquiries I
have received since my article
about. my pressure cooker was
printed. I think the readers of the
M. B. F. must be very much inter-
ested in the subject. I have sat up
nights trying to aiiswer all the let—
ters but. thought perhaps a few more
items about it might be of interest.
A whole meal can be cooked on
one burner of the oil stove, as many
different kinds of food as can be
packed in the cooker. My husband
will not taste of cooked cabbage. but
is very fond of peas. A few days
ago I put my potatoes in the bottom
of the cooker with sufficient ,. water
to cover them. then placed the pt (4
in an alumium kettle with a little
water. then the cabbage in a small
pail set in the kettle of peas, and
made a custard and poured it into
a pound baking powder can, clamp—
ed on the cover of the cooker and
processed for ten minutes. The peas
nor custard had not the slightest
taste of the cabbage. In cooking so
many different kinds of food at the
same time, each must be put in a
dish by itself. Onions can be cook—
ed With other food in the cooker
and not have the other food flavored
by the onion.

ning vegetables for ourselves and
also for our neighbors. My daugh-
ter and I have an acre of garden

this year as a financial venture and
it promises well.

In cold pack canning peas. string
beans or corn, we only process forty
minutes after the pressure reaches
twenty pounds. Some have asked
me how long it takes to run the
pressure to twenty pounds. That all
depends on how much you are cook—
ing at once and how hot the cooker
or water are when the cover is put
on, but only a few minutes. I use
mine on the range during the win-
ter when I have a fire for heat, but

I like the oil stove better, as the
heat can be regulated better and
more evenly. They save a great

deal of fuel. I’ll gladly answer any
questions anyone wishes to ask, but
may not be able to answer all very
promptly—Mrs. Claudia Betts.

MAKING FRIED CAKES

I find so much useful information
through the columns of the M. B. F. The
recipes have been helpful to many I am
sure. I wish to ask some of the farm-
ers’ wives who are skilled in making
good fried cakes, the reason I cannot al-
ways. have them smooth instead of
cracking omen when frying. Occasional—
ly they will be just right. I try not to
get them too rich or to mould in too much
flour and use plenty of hot lard to fry
them in. I will appreciate any sugges-
tion through your column—K.

When fried cakes crack open and
are not smooth it is because the
dough was dropped in too hot fat.
They cooked on the outside before
the inside had a chance to cook.
When the heat reached the inside
and expanded the dough, it could
not expand evenly but cracked the
outside crust. The same rule will be
found to operate when baking cake
or even bread.

 

DYE FADED GARMENTS

Will you or some of the readers tell me
how to dye faded garments succssfully? I
have a number of babies’ and children's
cotton dresses. which are not badly
worn but which are too light colored to
be serviceable. All that I have ever eul-
ored have faded right out—Mrs. G. C.

There are cotton dyes that are
supposed to hold color. The Put—
nam Dyes for cotton are good. The

dye that is sold for wool should not
be used for cotton or silk, each has
its own peculiar quality. Follow
the directions carefully. Rit or Tin-
tex will fade in washing.

 

DRESS TO THE SHOE TOPS‘

I will also enlist in Dorothy’s com-
pany for short skirts. I like them wide
enough so one may take an ordinary
step comfortably. Not short enough' to
show the knee, about to the shoe tops is
a good length. Mother of Six.

”‘3ij Nathan's oar: 3mm.“ \xmwrm

Dear Uncle Ned—I thought I would
write to you and make a suggestion that

‘ I believe would help to make the Children’s

Hour more interesting to the children who
read the Business Farmer.. I suggest ,that
you establish a “Nature Study” depart-
ment as a part of the Children’s Hour. By
this I mean a department to which the
children may send questions about birds
and ﬂowers. There would be a picture
and description of one Michigan bird in
each issue. I think this would greatly
increase interest in the children’s depart-
ment. What do some of the boys and girls
think‘ of this plan?—Harold Oatley, Me-
sick, Mich. .

EAR Nieces and Nephews: What
do you think of Harold’s sugges-
tion? I think it is very good and

would be pleased to follow it were
it not for the fact that shortage of
space forbids my publishing a picture
and description of a Michigan bird
in each issue. However, I would be
pleased to establish a department to
which you could send questions, not
only about birds and ﬂowers but
about everything, and I would secure
answers to them if they were possible
to get. There are departments in M.
B. F. that your papas and mammas
write to when they have questions
they wish answered so why shouldn’t
there be one to which you could send
your problems? There should be and
as soon as I receive the ﬁrst question
I shall start it. Who will be the ﬁrst
to ask a question?

Harold has given me a new idea
for a contest. Here it is. You like
birds don’t you? Sit down and write
to me, putting down the names of
all the birds you know, tell which
one you like the best and why, de-
scribe it, its habits and write. any—
thing else about it that you think
will be of interest to your cousins and
Uncle Ned. There will be two prizes
given away. One to a boy and one
to a girl. The girl that sends in the
longest list of names and most inter-
esting description will receive a need-
le case containing about 50 needles
of various sizes, a .very useful article.
And the boy sending in the longest
list and best description will receive
a pencil case containing 4 pencils, a
penholder and a pen point. It is
just like the ones I gave away in our
story contest a couple of months ago
and the winners express themselves
well pleased so it is worth working
for. The contest closes at 12 o’clock
noon, September 30, and all letters
received after that date will not be
counted in the contest—UNCLE

NED.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Nedz—I am writing.this
to thank you for the needle case which I
received today. It is a nice case and
will certamly come in handy. Well, Un-
cle Ned, what are you doing these hot
days? It certainly is nice on the farm
now. I live on a farm about 3 1—2 miles
from Elsie. I have six brothers and
two sisters. Their names are Erma,
Blanche, Harold. George, Frank, Earnest,
Willis and Kenneth. I am 15 years old
and will be a Junior in high school this
year. .

needle case, I am, your lovmg niece.“

Dear Uncle Ned:———I read with interest
the story of John O. Roberts' pct crow;
had often heard of their antics and Wished
I had one. Will tell you a few th1ngs
about In et ig.

How ll’er? narme came to be Nathanuel,
I just don’t remember. About a year
ago her mother died and left her one
day old. We had a great time learning
her to drink milk. She wouldn't drink
out of the dish at first. so we would place
a little cloth down in the milk. She
would suck on that and ﬁnally‘ learn«
ed to drink. She grew nicely and soon
became a real bother around the door—
yard. She seemed aways under foot and
would come in the house whenever she
got half a chance. She was real cute
and we all thought so much of her. One
day we thought her time had come. She
found a crock of milk that my mother
had given the chickens and drank so
much that she was nearly dead when we
found her; she was bloated up and
round just ab0ut like a ball. MyOfather
was away back in the field working, so
my mother took a, long—necked bottle and
put some sodaxwater and peppermint in
it and poured it down her throat, and in
a few minutes, pig like, was looking for
more sour milk. .Now although she
weighs 260 lbs. and is the proud mother

. ‘of eight baby pigs, she is no less a pet.

. Would\like to hear from some girl or

boy that has tried raising pigs for pets.

Dear Uncle Nedz—May I enter your
merry circle? I love to read the letters
of the boys and girls of the M. B. F. I
like to roam and wander around in the
woods and get butterflies and bugs. Did
you ever watch the caterpillar make his
nest for the winter? It is like a cofﬁn
and is called a cocoon. In the spring he
comes out a beautiful butterﬂy or
moth. He lives a gay life but only for
a few days. Do you boys and girls like
to watch, nature's wonderful works?
How beautiful everything comes (LII, in
the spring after its white blanket of
snow is laid aside. Fall is very pretty
too and I like to watch the leaves change
from green to their beautiful colors.

I have lived here in Michigan about
four years. I came from the State of
Washington, from the wonderful west.
We lived about 24 miles from the sea-
shore. It is wonderful to go and see the
tide go out and see some of the sunfish
that are left behind. They are a very
lazy kind of fish. Their mouth grows
around to one side because they are too
azy to swim straight, and some are left
on the shore because they are too lazy
to swim out with the tide. There is an—
other kind of fish called Star Fish. It
is shaped like a star and its color is
brown. It does not look like a fish, you
cannot see that they have eyes or a
mouth. I cannot explain how they look
very well. They can be dried and they
will keep a long time. I must close with
best wishes for the future success of the

Your loving niece. P. S.—I
would like to have some of the boys and
girls write to me and I will answer all
letters I reeeive.——-Ilah Hemminger,
Blanchard, Mich.. R. 1'.

. 'Dear Uncle Ned and Cousinsz—May I
Jom your merry circle? I just finished

reading the letters from the boys and
gIrls which I like very much. I lived
in the State of Washington until about

four yearsago. The west is a very beau—
tiful country. We lived about a mile
from the Skagit River. It is a. very large
_ It is fed from the
mountains and when the Schnook winds
blow they melt the snow on the moun-
tains and sometimes cause the river to
overflow its banks causing floods that
are very destructful to homes. One day
we crossed the river on a ferry boat and
saw a large kingfisher catching fish.
He would fly to a tree with his fish
and h1t the head of the fish against a
knot on the tree to kill it. There are
some giant trees there also. Some of
the stumps are so large that campers
can stay overnight in the ones that have
been hollowed out. It is fun to be in a
western logging camp and watch the
donkey engines pull the big logs to the
saw Illlll. It is fun to go to the beach
when the tide is out, and dig clams and
f1nd all kinds of curious fish and shells.

There was a mountain near our place
that.had Washington’s hatchet on the
very peak. We could .see Mt. Baker
from where we lived. It had snow on it
the year around. It was also a volcanic
mountam that smoked most all the time.
We had a nice tri coming to Michigan.
We crossed the ocky Mountains. and
when we got above the clouds and looked
down 1t looked almost like a lake. There
are many wonderful things in Washing—
ton but there is just as many wonderful
,thmgs in Michigan. I could write lots
more but I am using so much space. I
would like to hear from the boys and
girls. I.will answer all letters I receive.

Made of America’s Finest

Wheat

This grain is Michigan Red Winter——
the best ﬂavored wheat grown in
America—properly blended with the I
choicest grades of hard. The wheat
is thoroughly washed, cleaned ﬁve
times and secured three times before
going to the rolls for the ﬁrst break.
Thus every particle of dirt is elim-
inated from the grain and doesn’t get
into the ﬂour or interfere in any way
with the color or ﬂavor of the bread.

VEAL IS CONDEMNED

Would like to have your opinion about
the Detroit Beef 00.. commission merch-
ants in regards to honesty. Looks to me
they were crooked will state the case to
you as clear as I can.
3 dressed veal calves, the first one weigh-
ed 104 pounds and I received 311. 23 and
was satisﬁed. The second one weighed
84 pounds and I received 86. 77. The last
one weighed 94 pounds. They sent me a.
slip from the Department of Health stat~
in}: it was sour. The slip hows it was
delivered the next day an I know of
three farmers near here that received
slips stating their calves were sour Am
sending the papers and a. check for 4
cents for the last calf.—W J B., Le Roy.
Mich.

The company you mention is one
of the most reliable commlsswn ﬁrms
in Detroit. The fact that they sent
you the Department of Health’s con-
demnation slip would seem to be a
proof of their honesty. The calves
might not have been in prime con-
dition when shipped and mlght have
encountered some hot weather be-
fore reaching Detroit. You must
remember that weather rcond1t10ns
in Detroit are different than they
are in Le Roy, and that it might be
very hot in Detroit on the same day
it was moderately warm in your sec-
tion.

The Detroit Health Department
has issued some regulations to gulde
farmers in shipping meat carcasses
which it will pay all shippers to ob—

serve. They are as follows:
“(a) All trucks, wagon beds,
containers, receptacles, wagon cov-

ers and food products therein shall
be kept clean, sanitary and well pro—
tected.

“(b) Carcasses of cattle shall be
accompanied by the hearts, livers and
lungs and tongues with their glands
intact and so numbered or arranged
that the parts can be identiﬁed with
the carcass from which the parts
have been removed:w This pertains
to carcasses brought into the city
from the country either by the farm-
er in person or through the Rail-
way Express.

“(0) Sheep carcasses shall be ac-
companied by the hearts, livers
and lungs attached by their natural
attachments. The entire pelt of
sheep including skin (stockings) on
the extremities shall be removed. ,

“(d) Calf carcasses shall be ac;
companied. by the hearts, livers and
lungs attached by their’ natural at-
tachments or in separate receptacles
and so marked 01' labeled that they
may be identiﬁed with the carcasses
from which they have. been removed.
The entire intestinal tract shall be
removed 'and the thoracic cavity well
drained, with the umbilical cord in-

clean. This also pertains to car-
casses shipped into the city from the
country.

garded as a misdemeanor under:

that all calves shall be at least four
weeks of age before being slaughto

“(h) No retail market

Meats are condemned which, when
offered for sale are unwholesome,
diseased, loathsome or otherwise un-
ﬁt for human food; or are immature
or undeveloped, contaminated by an

excessive amount of dirt, manure,
etc. .
The inspector makes a. physical

examination of all carcasses and if
any of.the above conditions are
found, condemnation of the entire
carcass or parts effected is necessary.
If the inspector is in doubt regard‘
ing a disease condition, the carcass
is retained and a pathological ex.

made..—-H. H. Sparhawk, Chief Vet-'

THINGS TO BE DONE IN SEPTEM-
BER

Fill the Silm—When two-thirds of

the-kernels are dented. Tramp well,

seal the doors tightly with paper,

cover the top with cut straw or stover

and wet down. Keep out of a. partial— '

ly ﬁlled “silo until after the blower
has started.

mentation is dangerous. Start feed-

ing silage immediately if pasture is’

short. .
Pick the‘Seed Corn—Well dented
ears from healthful stalks should be
selected. Dry them, in the shade with
good circulation of air.
Hogging Down Corn—~Hogs make

faster and more efﬁcient gains when ,

turned into a cornﬁeld to harvest the
corn than when it is thrown over the
fence to them.

‘Green Feeds Make Milk—Green
corn fodder,.alfalfa, Sudan grass or
other green crops fed to the milk
cows daily will do much to prevent
the usual decrease in dairy produc-
tion at this time of the year. Cows
that receiVe a green succulent ration
will produce more milk than those
kept on dry feed or short pastures.
Some farmers make it a practice to
sow certain crops in the spring at
such times as to give them continu-
ous and liberal supply of green fresh
feed from the ﬁelds in late summer
and early fall. Try the corn cure for
short pastures.

White Beauty: Light colored, flesh
and skin nearly white, sweet, best

These varieties begin. to bear
when from five to seven years old,

except the Alexander, which waits

till about 12. This is the one seri-
ous objection to the Alexander, but
it is then so productive that it is well
worth waiting the extra years.

Mr. La Male’ s experience has gone
far to prove that the apricot can be
grown profitably in Monroe County.
He has the trees, he has had the
fruit and has excellent prospects for
the future. The conditions with
which he has had to deal are not
exceptionally good. Many localities
are better protected against late
spring frosts and have a soil as well
fitted for the purpOse.

While this is the only orchard we
have found, an occassiOnally tree is
not uncommon. On our farm in
Oakland county there are six which
have stood for more than 30 years
and are still bearing. They are on a
hill, -When the atmospheric drainage
is good. The soil is a heaVy clay.
These trees. the owner says,
annually, while one season in three
there is a heavy crop. Generally, the
tree seems to be long—lived and fairly
productive if set in the proper kind
of a place.

To be sure the wise ones shake
their heads and say the apricot is not
suited to our climate, but that has
happened before. Granted that the
tree be too tender for the climate.
If it is thirty or forty years in dying
and all the time bearing fruit, what

more should it do?
0

Apple maggots or railroad worms
are a serious pest in New England.
They are not yet common in Michi-
gan, though reported at several
places in the state. It tunnels about
in the ﬂesh of the fruit, ruining it
for food, except for those who can
stand it to eat worms and all. The
insect stays in the apple till it falls
then crawls out and into the ground,
when it propates and remains till
the following summer. Spraying
does no good. The best remedy is

to destroy the pest before it has left

the fruit, preferably by feeding to
animals. Fortunately, it is not eas-
ily distributed. It may be limited
for yearsto one tree in an orchard.

Once in a. while some one would
remark that girls are about the same
from one generation to another but
the talk kept right on.

An’ then Elmiry an’ me got to
thinkin'. The ones that had the most
to say about bangs an’ ear rings had
such scraggly hair they couldn't
wear bangs ’er else their ears was
so big they couldn’t wear ear rings.
An’ ii! you’ll notice it’s the same way

the most to say has bow legs or
skinny legs an' they have to cover
’em up or gitlaughed at. A11 so they
watch the pretty young girls with
short skirts an’ bobbed hair an’ they
turn green with envy an then they sit
down an’ write to Mr. Editor about
the shameless short skirts. It’s like
ﬂy time, the buzz don’t amount to
much if you can keep away from the

The Grange Patron republished a. car-
toon in its last issue from a. Chicago paper
which well illustratesthe point you have
made. It showed the daughter of a home
being ﬁtted with a new gown, the neck
of which reveals a shameless display of
the young lady's neck almost as far down
as the adam’s apple. The other members
of the family stand around viewing the
dress with critical eyes and commenting
upon the’neck display. Mother is of the
opinion that the neck is too low but the
young miss remonstrates, and says that’
all the girls of her Endeavor class are
wearing' em even lower. And, of course,

'HAVE you A SILO?

HE above question, of course, is

T addressed to the stock-keeper. If
given in the-negative his answ-

er would show reasons as varied as
the country is wide. ’

There are in round "numbers ﬁve
,hundred thousand silos on farms in
the United States. They are found
in every state in the U11 and in
nearly every country. T is proves
that the silo can be used successfully
in practically all parts f the coun-
try. The man who is eeping live
“stock can well afford to devote some
thought and study to this silo ques-
tion.

The silo is most numerous in the
leading dairy states, but many states
and communities are backward in
taking advantage of this economic
means of feeding cattle. Wisconsin
ranks ﬁrst as a si-lo state with close
to eighty-ﬁve thousand on one hun-
dred and ninety thousand farms. New
York is second with ﬁfty thousand
on about the same number of farms.
Still those familiar with conditions
in Wisconsin and New York admit
that they are less than half supplied,
and that even three times more silos
could be put into valuable and econo-
mic use. Great dairy states like
Minnesota, Iowa and Ohio are very
short of silos compared with Wis-
consin and New York. Then there
are many other states east and west,
north and” south that do not have
one Where they really need ten.

Silage has been so thoroly tested
cut from an economic feeding stand—
point that most of our Experiment
Stations have considered it a closed
question. The‘re are few states in
the Union that have not printed bul-
letins and feeding tests all of which
show that silage is an economic feed
for milk, beef and mutton. As to
the amount it saves the feeder, no
deﬁnite ﬁgures can be given, for
prices of feed, labor and commodi-
ties vary with each year and in every
state. It is safe, however, to con—
clude from the tests that have been
made that at least ten cents can be
saved on a pound of butter, forty
cents on one hundred pounds of
milk and one dollar on one hundred
pounds of beef. Withsuch a sav-
ing surely this subject is a live one
for every steak-keeper in this coun-
try.

Silage for young stock and grow-
ing animals is quite as valuable and
important as it is for those that are
producing milk or beef. Horses at
rest, brood mares, colts and mules
can be‘fed silage with economy. The
ﬁve hundred thousand silo users of
this country are perhaps the best ex-
periment relating to the value and
economy of the silo, for they have
tested out its worth and know of its
value and advantages on the average
farm. The dairy industry has pros-
pered during the past few years, and
many farmers are increasing their
herds. They will ﬁnd the most ex-
pensive part of the business is that
invested in the feed bill; in other
words, to feed a c‘ow is the most ex-'
pensive item connected with the busi-
ness and the silo is one of the ﬁrst
matters to consider for economical
production and to give a succulent
nutritious ration that can be drawn
upon any time during the year.

The silo plays an important part
in the process of turning the cheap
forages of the farm into condensed
marketable produce; and especially
at this time of high transportation
costs wenwill do well to engage in
a line of farming that will condense
our raw materials. We are. espe-
cially interested in shipping a ﬁn-
ished product, especially if the mar-
ket demand is favorable. The silo
has come and is still coming to the
farmer who aims to utilize his pro-
ducts to the best advantage, who
wishes to get the most from his
acres and prevent a. waste of rough-
age which has been so expensive in
past years.

The silo is answering the pasture
problem, for silage is thecheapest
source of pasture. It is a 1abor~sav-
ing device, for it offers at all sea.-
sons 8. supply of
hand. It can be easily and quickly

 

 

  

transported to bunk or manger, and
is relished ,by practically all classes

of stock. It is rich in carbo—hy—
drates, it. is succulent, and makes a
balance for high protein feeds or
fodder. ' '

The stock-keeper will do well to

ﬁgure carefully the answer of the
question “Have you a silo?” He can
secure plenty of information from
silo owners. Our Experiment Sta-
tions can furnish him volumes of
data, and there are many other
sources from which to draw reliable
ﬁgures. Too often the man who is
considering this subject listens to
the man who does not own a. silo.
From an investment standpoint it
will ﬁgure out close to a hundred
per cent under many farm conditions.
Even if it ﬁgured ten would it not
be a wise move?—A. L. Haecker.

COW LEAKS MILK

We have a cow that leaks milk from
all teats long before milking time, espe-
cially when she walks. She can only hold
about ﬁve quarts in her udder. Is there
anything we can do for her to stop this?
—F. W. W., Charlevoix, Mich.

It may be‘ advisable to milk the
cow three times a day if the quan-
tity of milk that she gives will pay
to do this. On the other hand, the
matter can be helped considerably
by applying a drop of collodion to
the tip of each teat after milking.
This forms a skin like clot over the
end of the teat and will help to
hold the milk in the cow’s udder.
Collodion may be purchased at any
drug store.—~—J. E. Burnett, Asso-
ciate Professor of Dairy Husbandry,
M. A. C.

 

 

CALL VETERINARIAN

I have a Holstein cow four and one-
half years old that hais a. cluster iof
warts on one of her teats, and it start-

ed small about the size of a nickle, w’hen '

we purchased her about five m nths
ago, and now it is the size of a Silver
dollar and seems to keep her from giv-
ing much milk out of the same teat. Al-
so notice a ring of single warts coming
around her neck and in line down her
back—R. C. D., Rose City, Mich.

I cannot prescribe a treatment for-
the above case Without seeing the
animal and making a thorough ex-
amination. I would advise that you
call a competent veterinarian to
make a diagnosis and take charge of
the case.——Edw. K. Sales, Asst. Prof.
of Surg. and Med., M. A. C.

 

RECTUM TROUBLE

I have a three—month-old sow pig which
has a portion of the rectum protruding
about 2 inches. What may I do to remedy
this condition? For some time I have
noticed that this pig had considerable
difﬁculty in stooling but gave the matter
no serious attention. Have been feeding
her plenty of will with lots of mlddlings
added. The rectum protruding looks very
similar to cases of piles in the human
where the same symptoms are present.
The pig has only been in this condition
for four or ﬁve days now. Hot weather
with files present are liable to bring in-
fection unless something can be done to
return the rectum to its proper place.
It is now quite irritated. Am trying to
keep pig in a very clean place so as to
prevent infection. May I have your ad-
vice as to best method of treatment at a.
iii-Ti. early date?——H. D. G., Burlington,

ic .

This is a very troublesome condi-
tion, in recent cases, before the mu-
cous membrane of the gut has be-
come rlable and easily" torn. The

be set on a rack to dry, but they
should be protected from ﬂies and

WHY FOLKS PREFER. CLOSED
.. CARS

“ HE old De Witt Clinton railroad
train had open cars. but who
would think of traveling on to-
day’s railroads in open cars,” accord-
ing to Colin Campbell, General Sales
Manager, Chevrolet Motor Company.
“Closed automobiles are instantly

. adaptable to changes in weather or

_, to the comfort of the paSsengers..
They are cleaner. have a home—like

atmosphere, ﬁner appearance, and in
general make th most practical
means for passenger ransportation.

“Conﬁdent'that the _correction of
the price differential would produce
the volume to justify it, Chevrolet
Motor Company priced its1922 line
accordingly. The results have prov-
ed the wisdom of this policy. The
proportion of our closed car business
to our total sales has been increasing
so rapidly, that we anticipate it will
represent more than ﬁfty percent
within a year.”

ﬁance cattle feeding and marketing,

co-operate with the

new—"instrumentality.

Mr. Baruch gave it as his opinion
that any of the four bills would give
a substantial measure of relief, but
was of the opinion that the measure
ﬁnally decided upon should provide
three sorts of loans and correspond-
ingly three sorts of short time »de-
bentures from the sale or which
would be obtained the funds for

carrying the loans, which might a-'

mount to a great. many times the
capital ”or the proposed institu-
tion) viz: (1) Loans for facilitating
the marketing of agricultural pro-
ducts in an orderly-manner and at
discretion, (2) livestock loans, and
( 3) loans for production purposes.
The last, he thought, should be based
on the united credit of local associa— ‘
tions of farmers, .so that all the
members of the group would indorse
the notes of each. He was conﬁdent
that there would be a wide and ready
market for debentures or notes run-
ning from six months to three years
because the security would be un‘
surpassed. Not only would the mon—
ey centers readily absorb such in-
struments but he was convinced that
there would be a wide market for
them in,the rural communities them—
selves. Regarding the proposed Fed-
eral Reserve Act amendments Mr.-
Baruch while favoring some of them

to give farm paper a longer maturity
period than six months which is the
Accommodations be-
yond six months could come from de-
benture funds.

The trouble with agricultural ﬁn-
ancing at present, Mr. Baruch told
the committee. was that it was so
precarious and short—timed that it
left the farmer entirely at the mercy-
of the money lender or credit giver
and deprived him of freedom of ac—
tion in marketing his crops in an
orderly and sagaci-ous manner. Ade-
quafe storage facilities and impartial
grading and inspection were import-
ant adjuncts to a suitable credit
system; and storage could be provid-
ed by public agencies it private agen-
cies did not come forward. which
they likely would do once credit was
provided. Mr. Baruch also reminded
the committee that it was not pro-
posed to ‘do away with any of the
pressent factbrs in rural ﬁnancing
but merely to, create a supplemental
ﬁnancial agency which would assist
them to function efficiently and might
possibly so inﬂuence existing facili-
ties that they would be found sufﬁ-
cient to provide the farmer with em-
ple working capital at reasonable
rates of interest and for suitable
terms without much activity by the
proposed governmental agency. But
the main thing Was to create some
such agency and do it at once.

‘Exonerated by Coroner’s July for Death of Mary June Reed

  

Roy Snyder, Studebaker Sales
Agent of Howell, Michigan, in com-
ing from South Bend with a new
car, came through Battle Creek on
Thursday, August 10. He was meet-
ing a street car on Maple avenue
when Mary June Reed, seven years
of age, ran back of the street car
directly in the path of the Snyder
automobile. He turned his car
quickly to the right but as the child
was only a foot and a half from the
automobile he could not avoid run-
ning over her. She lived half an
hour without regaining conscious-
ness.

'Mr. Snyder went to the police do-
partment and asked for an investi-
gation and notiﬁed. the Howell In-
surance Company who had a repre—
sentative in Battle Creek before
eight o’clock. Witnesses were inter-
viewed and the facts presented to the
police department so they released
Mr. Snyder.

However, an attorney started suit
for $25,000 but they did not get ser—
vice upon Mr. Snyder. The evidence
brought was so clear that Mr. Robb
and Mr. Howlett concluded that Mr.
Snyder was not needed at the in-
quest and by staying outside of the

Mr. Snyder was greatly relieved at
this verdict and he has expressed
hlS appreciation for the service re-
ceived from the insurance company.
Under the present conditions no one
can tell when he will have an acci—
dent and even though one is inno-
cent of any blame it requires an in—
vestigation and much expense. The
insurance company has an organiza-
111011 to assist its policy holders and
to giVe them service that is appre-
mated when those serious accidents
occur.

The regular policy covers not only
ﬁre and theft to the value of the car
not exceeding $1,000, but it also cov—
ers liability, damages not exceeding
$5,000. By liability is meant the
damage that you do to the property
of other people, like running into
another automobile or buggy, or
breaking a plate glass window, or
the injuries that you do to other
people, by running them down with
your automobile, causing personal
injury or death.

Up to date every case that the
Howell Company has been interested
in has been settled for less than
$5,000. All of its agents, adjusters
and attorneys are at your command
in case of serious accident.

IMPROVED METHOD OF PACKING
EGGS
SAVING of from 50 to 75 per
cent in damage to eggs in tran-
sit amounts to a very' large sum
in one season, particularly if several
hundred cars are involved When
this saving can be created at an ad-
ditional expense of only a few cents
to the case, entirely by proper pack-
ing, the egg,producers of the coun-
try should immediately be interest-
ed. Damage to egg shipments is
preventable to such a large extent
under the best modern conditions
that experiment stations, the great
shipping companieseverywhere and
the farmers generally are co-operat—
ing with the railroads in a nation-
wide effort to shut off. the
which have been a source of so much
expense and irritation in the past.
The American Railway Association
through its freight claim prevention
department believes that the answer
to the egg breakage problem 'has
been found in the excelsior pad. This
is not a trade name. The pad. as
its name indicates, is made of ordin-
ary excelsior but in such a way that
it is very nearly perfect in prevent—
ing damage as contrasted with loose
excelsior. Egg damage and subse-
quent claims for losses have grown
to such proportions that specialists
were assigned to provide a remedy.
It was determined that the chief
cause of breakage of eggs in transit
was the loose pack which allowed the
ﬁllers to shift and shuffle about in
the case, then bending or breaking
the tips of the ﬁllers and permitting
the eggs to come in contact with
the sides and ends of the case. Ex-
periments have shown that six pads
used in each case, three in each of
the two compartments, produced just -
enough pressure to hold the eggs
ﬁrmly in place and relieve the pres—
sure on the ﬁller tips. One produce
company in Michigan reports that its
damage claims in 1920, while loose

excelsior was used for packing,
amounted to $600, while in, 1921,
when the pads were used, these

claims were reduced to $23.40.

The excelsior pads cost the ship-
per about one cent a piece or six
cents to the case. Produce com—
panies in all parts of the country
are reporting a saving from 25 to
80 and even 100 per cent when the
six excelsior pads are used, one at
the bottom, one at the top and one
under the top layer in each side of
the case. Some shippers report
handling from one to two hundred
cars of eggs without any damage
whatever under this system of pack-
mg.

To insure against the breakage of
eggs in transit the American Ex-
press Company and the American
Railway Association recommend
these simple rules:

(1) Use only new standard ﬁll—
ers. A ﬁller is strong enough for
one trip only, hence there is no such
thing as a “good” second—hand ﬁller.
The use of second—hand ﬁllers is pro-
hibited by both the freight and ex—
press regulations.

(2) Use 6 four—ounce excelsior
pads to the case, one on top, one on
bottom and one under top layer of
each side. Best results are obtained
by not inserting a ﬂat where a pad
is used. Do not use loose excelsior
in cushioning eggs. More damage oc-
curs in eggs packed with loose ex—
celsior than with any other method
of packing. Six pads give much

 

by a simple way at home.

because the latter do not hold ﬁll-

DAIRY CATTLE AND POULTRY

‘ IN DUAL EXPOSITION

N the steady march toward na—
0 tional prosperity two farm ani—
mals are making the journey
together.

They are the (dairy cow and ‘the
hen.

On the small farms the casual
rural visitor cannot help but see
that the major part of the income
supporting the average family
comes from the barnyard flocks and
a few good dairy cows.

Although profits from dairying
are much larger with respect to
land, labor, feed and year round
production as compared to the farm
flock, yet as an incidental farm 0p—
eration, producing a good return,
poultry keeping has become prom—
inent in all sections.

When the“ National Dairy Exposi-
tion opens its gates Oct. 7th on the
Minnesota State Fair Grounds, the
first National Poultry Exposition
will be held at the same time, un—
der the management of the Nation-
al Dairy Association, with Geo. W.
Hackett as managing director.

Poultry fanciers and dairymen

will join in a common effort to
bring before the American public
the message of well bred poultry
and dairy cattle at this dual exposi-
tion. Hens with high egg produc-
tion records are being entered from
all parts of the United States and
Canada. Separate classes are ar—
ranged for the principal breeds.
More than 3,000 birds will be on dis-
play. .
The decision to hold this poultry
show and make it international in
scope was reached after many con-
ferences were held in the Twin Cit-
ies between poultry leaders of the
industry centering in the North—
west. .

Agitation for an international
show has been evident for a year,
but definite action to unite the dif—
ferent poultry interests of the
Northwest remained dormant until
the possibility of holding a show in
connection with the Dairy Exposi-
tion became imminent. After that.
the great dairy institution was re-
turned to the Twin Cities for 1922.

Boys’ and girls’ club work will re-
ceive special attention under the di—
rection of Prof. T. A. Erickson,
Minnesota State club leader, who
will have junior club teams demon-

strating various phases of their
work daily.
The Minnesota State Fair board

has placed at the disposal of the Na-

same low fifty cent admission price
will hold for both expositions and
in addition will admit visitors to
“Healthland,” the $10,000 health
exhibit occupying one entire build-
ing, which is being arranged by the
National Dairy Association and the
National Dairy Council in co—opera~

tion with 12 other national health
organizations and government
boards.

good-bye,” she said. “Won’t you let

me thank you—a last time?”

Her voice brought him to himself
again. A moment he bent over her
hand. A moment he felt its warm,
ﬁrm pressure in his own. The smile
that ﬂashed to his lips was hidden
from her as he bowed his blond-gray
head.

“Pardon me for the omission,” he
apologized. “Good-bye—~and may
luck go with you!”

Their eyes met once more. With
another bow he had turned, and was
continuing his way. At the door
Joanne Gray looked back. He was
whistling again.

seemed to come to her in the breath
of the mountains. And then she,
too, smiled strangely as she re-ent—

CHAPTER III

F JOHN ALDOUS had betrayed no
visible sign of inward vanquish-
ment he at least was feeling its
effect. For years his writings had
made him the target for a world of
women, and many men. The men he
had regarded with indifferent tolera-

‘tion. The women were his life—the

“frail and ineffective creatures” who
gave spice to-his great adventure,
and made his days anything but mo—
notonous. He was not unchivalrous.
Deep down in his heart—and this
was his own secret—he did not even
despise women. But he had seen
their weaknesses and their frailties
as perhaps no other man had ever
seen them, and he had written of
them as‘ no other man had ever
written. This had brought him the
condemnation of the host, the ad—
miration of the few. His own per-
sonal veneer of antagonism against
woman was purely artiﬁcial, and yet
only a few had guessed it. He had

' built it up about him as a sort of

protection. He called himself “an

' adventurer in the mysteries of femi-

nism,” and to be this successfully he
had argued that he must destroy in
himself the usual heart-emotions of
the sex—man and the animal.

How far he had succeeded in this
he himself did not know—until these
last moments when he had bid good-
bye to Joanne Gray. He confessed
that she had found a cleft in his ar—
mour, and there was an uneasy thrill
in his blood. It was not her beauty
alone that had affected him. He had

' trained himself to look at a beautiful

woman as he might have looked at
a beautiful ﬂower, conﬁdent that if
he went beyond the mere admiration
of it he would ﬁnd only burned—out
ashes. But in her he had seen some-
thing that was more than beauty,
something that for a ﬂashing mo-

L ment had set stirring every molecule

in, his being. He had felt the desire
to rest his hand upon her shining
hair! ‘
He turned off into a winding path
that led into the thick poplars, re-
straining an inclination. to look back

L during the past few years and I think is». with fresh tobacco, and began smok-

ing. ‘ As he smoked, his ups wore a
quizzical smile, for he was honeSt
enough to give Joanne Gray credit
for her triumph. She had awakened
a new kind of interest in him—only
a passing interest, to be sure—but a
new kind for all that. «The fact
amused him. In a large way he was
a humourist—few guessing it, and
he fully appreciated the humor of
the present situation—that he, John
Aldous, touted the world over as a
woman-hater, wanted to peer out
through the poplar foliage and see
that wonderful gold-brown head
shining in the sun once more!

He wandered more slowly on his
way, wondering with fresh interest
what his friends, the women, would
say when they read his new book.
His title for it was “Mothers.” It
was to be a tremendous surprise.

Suddenly his face became serious.
He faced the sound of a distant
phonograph. It was not the phono-
graph in Quade’ s place, but that of
a rival dealer in soft drinks at the
end of the “street.” For a moment
Aldous hesitated. Then he turned in
the direction of the camp.

Quade was bolstered up on a stool,
his back against the thin partition,
when John AldOus sauntered in.
There was still a groggy look in his
mottled face. His thick bulk hung
a bit limply. In his heavy—lidded
eyes, under-hung by watery pouches
of sin and dissipation, there was a
vengeful and beastlike glare. He
was surrounded by his friends. One
of them was taking a wet cloth from
his head. There were a dozen in the
canvas—walled room, all with their
backs to the door, their eyes upon
their fallen and dishonored chief.
For a moment John Aldous paused
in the door. The cool and insolent
smile hovered about his lips again,
and little crinkles had gathered at
the corners of his eyes.

“Did I hit you pretty hard, Bill?”
he asked.

Every head was turned toward him.
Bill Quade stared, his mouth open.
He staggered to his feet, and stood
dizzily.

“You—damn you!” he cried husk-
ily.

Three or four of the men had al—
ready begun to move toward the
stranger. Their hands were knotted,
their faces murderously dark.

“Wait a minute, boys,” warned Al—
dous coolly. “I’ve got something to
say to'you—and Bill. Then eat me
alive if you want to. Do you want
to be square enough to give me a
word?”

Quade had settled back sickly on
his stool. The others had stooped,
waiting. The quiet and insolently
conﬁdent smile had not left Aldous’
lips.

“You’ll feel better in a few
minutes, Bill,” he consoled. “A hard
blow on the jaw always makes you
sick at the pit of the stomach. That
dizziness will pass aWay shortly.
Meanwhile, I’m going to give you
and your pals a little verbal and
visual demonstration of what you’re
up against, and warn you to bait no
traps for a certain young woman
whom you’ve lately seen. She’s go-
ing on to Tete Jaune. And I know
how your partner plays his game up
there. I’m not particularly anxious
to butt into. your affairs and
the business of this pretty bunch
that’s gathered about you, but I’ve
come to give you a friendly warning
for all that. If this voung woman
is embarrassed up at Tete Jaune
you’re going to settle with me.”

Aldous had spoken without a tre-
mor of excitement in his voice. Not
one of the men noticed his speaking
lips, his slim hands, or his careless
posture as he leaned in the door.
They were looking straight into his
eyes, strangely scintillating and
deadly earnest. In such a man mere
bulk did not count.

“That muchwfor words," he went
on. “Now I’m going to give you the
visual demonstration. I know your
game, Bill. You’re already planning
what you’re going to do. You don’t
ﬁght fair—because you never have.
You’ve already decided that some
morning I’ll turn up missing, or be
dug out from under a fall of rock, or
go peacefully ﬂoating doWn the Ath—
abasca. See! There’s nothing in
that hand, is there?” ‘

He stretched out an empty hand
toward them, palm up.

' “And now!”

. WHEAT

There is very little in the present
wheat situation except the lowness
of the price to warrant a belief in
higher values. The government’s
last estimate is distinctly bearish,
showing as it does that the total
world crop is only slightly less than
one year ago but still far above th

' pre—war average. Earlier estimates
by both government and private re-
port much larger production, and
it begins to look as if some-
one had undershot the mark by

‘ a good many thousand bushels.
But now we are suddenly ad-
vised that the world’s export-
able surplus is probably larger
than'the world’s estimated needs.
Is there any wonder that farmers
are beginning to question all crop
estimates? Inasmuch as nearly ev-
ery estimate issued the last few
months has seemed to bring into
question the accuracy of the preceed-
ing estimate we know of no reason
why the one recently issued should
be accepted as correct. Whether
or no the crop is too large one thing
is perfectly obvious to all, the price
is too low, and will cause great fi-
nancial less to farmers and every-
body concerned. The financial in-
terests and the speculators seem to
realize this, and that is one of the

reasons why we do not expect to see-

wheat values drop much further.

CORN

In the last issue of the Business
Farmer we reported corn quiet and
by the time that issue was off the
press the market turned weak and
prices took a slump. At Detroit the
decline amounted to 2 cents but be-
fore the week closed the market was
back to 68 cents for No. 2 yellow.
on the opening day of the week end-
ing Saurday, September 9, corn took
the leadership in the grain markets
and trading was active with higher
prices prevailing. Crop damage com—
plaints stimulated the buying side of.
the market. Serious losses are re-
ported in many sections of the corn
belt due to the hot and dry weather.

Complaints of. poorly ﬁlled ears
and of barren stalks cam , from most
sections and the trad, las come to
the conclusion that the crop wil be
materially lighter than last year. Re-
ports indicated that that best ,pros-
pects are in lowa, but even that state
will not raise as much corn as last
year. There has been heavy con-
sumption of corn in the past year and
for this reason the amount carried
over at the close of the season will be
less than last November. Many of
the bulls ﬁgure that the amount of
corn available at the start of next
season. old and new crops. will be at
least 400,000,000 bushels smaller
than a year ago. The market closed
last week at Detroit inst one cent be-
low what it was two weeks before
and the tone of the market was quiet.
At Chicago prices were from 1c to
1 1/40 higher than two weeks previous
and the market was steady.

POTATOES

We may yet expect some surprises
in the potato deal before it is over.
Our optimistic friend, Mr. A. A. Lam-
bertson of Kent county, says the
government is all off on its potato
estimate, and While we have express-
ed our disagreement with him else-
where in this issue, at this particular
writing it begins to appear that he
may not be altogether wrong.
ports received by the Business Farm-
er within just the_last few days in—
dicate that the crop has suffered se-
verely in Maine, Minnesota and Col—
orado. A Minnesota correspondent.
avers that the crop in the northwest
has been over—estimated by 20,000,—
000 bushels, while a Colorado writer
says the crop in ‘many sections will
not be one-half of what it was last
year. Add to these statements the
fact that the far western states are
virtually shut out from the big east-
ern markets by reason of the low
prevailing prices and the high freight
rates, and the Michigan shipper may
yet be able to find some gleam of
comfort in the situation. The rate
on potatoes from Idaho to Chicago is
$1.12 per cwt. The Chicago market
closed last week around $1.10 per

Re- -

cwt., or two cents less than the
freight. When you add’to this cost
of bags, handling, etc., it is plain to
be seen that the Idaho shipper isn’t
making any money, or not much,
anyway, You cannot exclude the
millions of bushels of western po-
tatoes from the eastern markets for
a very long period of time without
a local shortage developing. For
this reason, if no other, we expect
to see the potato market stiffen up
a bit before very long. Buying of
the late varieties has begun in many
parts of the state, but the prices of-
fered are ridiculously low. Be-
cause of the low opening market it
is unlikely that there will be any
drastic declines when the bulk of the
crop is harvested, which fact, we
believe warrants the grower in bid—
ing his time and wait for the devel-
opments which will take place the
next sixty days. '
Prices

Detroit—731.42 per cwt.

Chicago—$1.20 per cwt.

New York—$1.33 per cwt.

Prices one year ago—Detroit, $1.00
per cwt.

BEANS

We would like an
answer to this question:

“Why have beans_dropped $4 a
hundred in the last sixty days when
there hasn’t been an increase of a
single bean in the supply and the
consumption if anything has been
larger?” Oh, We know, there is that
“prospect” of a fair sized crop, but
the prospect isn’t any bigger if it is
as big as it was 60 days ago. Does
anyone thing for a moment that there
would have been any such drastic
declines in prices if the farmers had
control of the marketing of the crop?
There was a reason why the bean
market should have slumped some
from the high of July, and there
would be a reason if it should slump
a bit at harvest time, especially if
the farmers were eager to sell. But
there is no sound, legitimate reason

FEEDING CATTLE

Don't'buy too many stock cattle
this fall, in other words, do not bite
of! more than you can masticate. This

gmaxim is worthy of Contusius him-
self. A year‘ago it was possible to
buy cattle blind without the least
danger of losing _a dime; two years
agopurchase made loss inevitable.
‘. ' This is a season \for caution.
f - Above all things give heavy cattle
a wide berth, as they are a gambling
» ,', proposition at the best, and the av-
“ erage farmer-feeder cannot afford
to gamble with cattle. It is less la-
1" borious to speculate on the board of
trade. More money .has been lost
‘ ,5- a during the past ten years feeding
~'. l heavy cattle than would have been
'1 , possible had the same operators spec-
‘ ‘7‘ ulated in corn.

Buy‘ light cattle and get a growth
on them. Calves are a safe proposi-
tion ll! you know how to handle them,
but remember they are babies and
must be. treated in the same manner
as a yearling. ,

Cattle feeding as a speculation is
notoriously dangerous, but as a means
of cenverting roughage and corn into
marketable product. Buy light cat-
, tle, increase the weight 30 to 40 per

i u , ‘ cent while in your pasture with as

little outlay for commercial feeds as

possible and give them credit for the
' manure, always, that beef—making is

, a no short-cut to wealth—The Round-

up.
