CLEARING T0 START-FEB. 19

~ seams of forty-one land clear-,

ing , meetings arranged for
northeastern Michigan by N. A.
Kessler, assistant land clearing spec—

' ialist of the Michigan Agricultural

College with the co—operation of the
Northeastern Michigan Development
bureau, will. start at Midland Feb—
ruary 19. As with the land clear-

‘ ing schools conducted by the college

last fall, the Michigan Central and

Detroit & Mackinaw railroads are co--

operating in this project.

The program at each meeting will
consist of movies and a talk on land
clearing by L. F. Livingston, land
clearing specialist, of the M. A. C..
and a discussion of the dairy busi-
ness in northern Michigan by E. J.
.Loonhouts, assistant agricultural
agent for the New York Central lines.
A part 01 the land clearing talk
which will e of vital interest to the
farmers wil be that on how explos-
ives, both government and commer-
cial, may be obtained at a lesser cost
than heretofore.

Allof the meetings will be held
in the big white demonstration car
which has a seating capacity of o
hundred people, and is admirably
equipped for the showing of moving
pictures. It is expected that this car
will be taxed to its capacity at the
various places listed in the itinerary.

FARMERS OPPOSE DAYLIGHT
SAVING

FFICIALS of the Michigan State
' Farm Bureau state that the bar-
reau’s questionnaire distributed
recently among the farmers of the
state, clearly shows the attitude of
the Michigan farmers as regards var-

ious problems affecting rural life.

The majority went on record on
opposing the proposed sorta-n time
for the state, the abolition of the
primary school fund, and the creo-
tiou of county 89.880011.

The questionnaire shorted that the
farmers favored a. state income to:
law calling for a $4,000 exemption
limit, and sprogreseive rate, the ro-

' moval of the existing corporation tax
limits, 8. minimum two—cent gasoline

tax, the primary election law, state
and federal laws to abolish- tax-ex-
empt securities, and the state regu-
lation of motor busses, and commer-
cial operating over state highways.

POTATO GROWERS Am FOR
GREATER EFFICIENCY
EANS of bringing about greater
efﬁciency in Michigan potato
production were brought out
before the meeting of the Michigan
Potato Producers Association at M.
A. 0., Farmer Week.
- Thomas Buell, of Elmira, presi-
dent of the association; Hal B. Ful—
lerton, director of agriculture for the
Long Island Railroad, Redford, Long
Island: and J. W. Weston, extension
specialist in potato work with the H.
A. C. crops department. were head-
liners on the program.

Increase in the use of certiﬁed
seed potato stocks of high quality
was discussed by Mr. Buell, who also

pointed out the large amount of’

Michigan seed stock which is going
outside of the state each year. F‘ul—
lerton told of disease control work
being carried out amongthe Long
Island potato growers.
Recommendations that Michigan
potato growers aim in 1923 for bet-
ter seed, better culture, better grad—
ing and better storage were contain-
ed in J. W. Weston’s address. Wes-
ton told of the ways in which the

college extension department is en-

deavoring to bring about greater ef-
ficiency "in the state‘potato industry.

'  “5060’? ’ sugar Beet Contract Arrives %

Owosso  Company irst to. Meet Growers" Fight for Square Deal  Years Ago—Big
Meeting at Durand Hears Good News

, MITRER milestone in the pro-
v gross of the business of turning

in Michigan was passed last
week. when it was announced that
 had  b! a
mitten representing the growers,

' with the president of the Owosso

Sugar Company whereby that com-
pany shes the growers the “50-50”
contract as long desired. _

Host gnomes: in Michigan will well
remember the organization of the
Michigan Sugar Beet Growers Asso-

ciation three years ago and the vall-

ont efforts made by that small body
of enthusiasts, led by The Business
Farmer, to sconce recognition and an
equitable contract from the beet
sugar manufacturers.

At that time the manufacturers,
condemned the efforts as “radical,”
hinted that the men behind it ought
to .be deported as “undesirables” and
returned point—blank to contaminate
themselves by exposing themselves in
any meeting, open or secret in which
the representatives of the organized
growers were present.

Since that time a lot of water has
run under the mill! Sugar prices
have been down in the basement,
along with the farm prices of wheat,
earn “and a few other staples that
fall with a sickening thud when old
man Hers Was tumbled over.

Emily in the fall of 19.22., A. B.
Cook of Owosso, head of the Michi-
gan Grange, who has long been a

opened negotiations with C. D. Bell,
Vice—President and General Manager

. of the Owosso Sugar Company, who

had indicated an interest in the pro-

‘ posed "50-5-0" contract, if he could

be assured that the growers would
be willing to run the risk of a split
in losses, as well as a split in proﬁts.
Mr. Cook assured him that the farm-
er was calloused to taking the whole
loss and possible prospect of having
to split the loss for a season would
not drive the boot growers panicy.
Negothtions from this point pro-
gressed rapidly, because Mr. Bell,
represented a sensible company
which recognized that the future suc-
cessful operation of their factory,
depended pretty largely upon a satis—

problems of the growers.

Beet Raising Conditions

Mr. Cook spoke on the beginning
and growth of the ,sugar beet in-
dustry in Michigan from the experi-
ments conducted by the late Dr. Ked-
zie, of the Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege. How this earnest professor
convinced that the beet sugar in-
dustry was a promising one for Mich-
igan, and after much effort interested
capital in the beet sugar manufacture
in the state. From a ﬁrst factory
at Bay City, the industry has grown
rapidly to the present time at which
there are 17 factories in the state.
Some seven years ago the growers
became dissatisﬁed with the prices
they were receiving for their beets
and sponsored by the Grange and
Gleancrs, the present state Growers
Association was formed. At that
time it was ﬁgured outthat a “50—
50” contract was the most just price
arrangement between the manufac-
turers and growers. During the
seven years since, the Association
has worked toward this contract as
an ideal. Finally the Owosso Sugar
Company has granted their growers
the long fought for “50-50” contract.

The contract is fair, continued Mr.
Cook, just what the growers wanted
and they should come across with a
good acreage. Backed by the “50'-
50" contract, sugar beet raising is
sure to be a. permanently proﬁtable
industry. The “50450” contract is
the best one out, better than $100
atonwlthii centsugar “11131.00
3 ton mine, for each cent raise in
sugar price.

Mr. Cook concluded by
‘ﬁhe the "50-50" .

saying.

turer, hence the name “50—50” con-
tract.

It is the simplest form of contract.
The grower can follow market quot—
ations and ﬁgure his own price as
well as can the manufacturer. To
insure fairness on the part of the
manufacturer, the Owosso Sugar
Company has oﬂsred to have a'certi-
ﬁed public accountant audit their
books at the end of the seasons and
furnish the Growers Association with
a report of the tonnage of boats
bought and the yield of sugar. The
Growers Association also has permis—
sion to station men in the factories
during the campaign to tally the
sugar production.

Mr. Ackerman explained how it

was decided seven years ago. that a ~

‘50-50” contract would be most just.
The grower and manufacturer have
about equal investments. To grow
a ton of beets, however, requires six
times as much labor as is required
to manufacture them. On the other
hand, the manufacturer takes much
greater risk than the grower. He
cannot turn his equipment to other
uses as the grower can, and he has
no other enterprises to fall back on
in case the sugargbusiness proves un-
proﬁtable. The factory has the
by-products, which are sometimes,
however, so low in price that it hard—
ly pays to handle them.

The increase in price to the grower
under the “60—50” contract over that
under the old contract was pointed
out. The old rate was $7.00 a tan
with sugar at 6 cents, and a raise of
$1.00 a. ton for each rise of one cent
in the price of sugar. The “50-50”
rate for 6 cent sugar, assuming the
sum yield to ire-average, 250 lbs
per ton, the sugar from a ton of beets
would be worth 6 times 250 or $16,
of which the grower gets one half
or $7.60, an increase of 50 cents, a
ton over the old rate. Should sugar

interest rates to pay for labor if they
wish to hire their own.

Mr. Ackermon spoke of the possi-
bility of other companies coming
across with a "50-50" contract. The
Association should work for state-
wide "50-50" contracts for growers.
The Continental Sugar Company, op-
erating three factories in southern
Michigan, have already offered a “45-
55'” contract.

Mr. Ackerman doubts if the Mich~
igan Sugar Company, operating seven
large factories in the state, will come
across with a “50-50” contract. The
company is said to be controlled by
eastern capitalists whose holdings
are largely cane interests, and Mr.
Ackerman believes the trust will dis-
pose of its holdings in beet sugar
factories and conﬁne its capital to
cane sugar rather than meet the
growers demand for a “50—50” con—
tract.

Since the Owosso Sugar Company
has taken the lead in offering “50—
50” contracts, it is hoped other com-
panies will follow.

Mr. C. D. Bell, Vice President and
General Manager of the Owosso
Sugar Company, told the meeting of
the manufacturer’s side. Mr. Bell
spoke of the efforts of the Associa—
tion to get a ‘50—50" contract. "It
seems to me that Mr. Cook or Mr.
Ackerman have interviewed me seven
times a day every day for the last
seven years in behalf of a “50-50”
contract, until we have ﬁnally given
it to them." Mr. Bell, who is re-
sponsible for the “50-50” contract
offer of the Owosso company, ad—
mitted that it seems to be the fairest
basis for a growers contract. The
manufacturers will proﬁt in that the
growers will try to raise better beets
with a higher sugar content, for they
will be paid for the sugar which the .
factory gets out of their beets. A
factory must be equipped with efﬁc-
ient machinery which will recover
all the sugar from the beets before
it can aﬁord to offer the growers a
"50-50" contract. The Owosso Sugar
Company spent $350,000 last year
for better machinery before they
could offer a, “50-50” contract. They
now recover from 30% to 40% more
sugar from the beets than by the old
process. Mr. Bell concluded with the
statement that the “50-50” contract
will not the grower higher pay for his
beets than any other contract out.

Mr. N. C. McBride, of Burton
spoke on “Industrial Relations.”
For farmers and manufacturers to
make a satisfactory bargain, there
must be a proﬁt for each. Mr. Ms-
Bride believes that sugar beets is
one of the most proﬁtable crops at
the present time. There is prospects
of a sugar price rise, the “50—50”
contract assures the growers a square
deal, and the tariff is satisfactory.

'Hichigan consumes more sugar than
she produces, so a market is assured.
High freight rates will act only as a
protection.

A grower of grain or other crops
takes a, chance of losing  his pro-
ﬁt by selling- when the market is low,
but a best grower with a "50—50"
price
fluctuations; With .s. “50-50” con-
tract, the growers and manufacturers
will have the best industrial rela-
tions, their interests will be thesame,
and they share equally in the proﬁts.
Beet growers with the the new con—
tract now have the best assurance of . , J
a proﬁtable crop they have had for =
years. Beets are a. money making

crop at present prices, and the pros— _  '

posts are that the prices  to
higher. Mr. McBride concluded by .
assuring the growers that they Md ,

DR. DAVID FRIDAY

President Mlchigan Agricultural College and acknowledged as one‘
of the foremost economists in United States.

LTHOUGH the fountain of youth
has never been discovered.
about four thousand farmers of

Michigan found a fountain of inspir-
ation and. new ideas in the 1923
Farmers’ Week at M. A. C. The
Farmer’s .VVeek visitor this year
found himself in the predicament of
a; spectator at a three ring circus.
there was so much to see and hear
that it was impossible to take in
eyerthing. ,

.The outstanding idea impressed
upon the Farmer’s Week throngs
Was the necessity for lower cost of
production of farm products. Pre-
igdent David-»Friday, who needs no
~ ﬁtroduction to Michigan farmers, in
[s opening address predicted that
there will be a steady decline in
prices for at least a few years. His
prediction was seconded by Dr. G.
F. Warren of Cornell, the noted farm
managment expert, in an address
later in the week. If the farmers of
Michigan hope toprosper, they must
produce their crops, liVestock, poult—
ry products, milk, and fruit at a
lower cost than now prevails. Mr.
Friday believes there are wonderful
opportunities for cutting the produc—

tion costs of fanm products in Mich—

ijgan. - _

An idea new to many farmers, that
Of a policy for agriculture for the
state a'nd‘nation, (see page 6 this
issue) was the subject of President
Friday‘s ﬁrst address to the Farmer's
Nit-ck audience. Michigan’s policy
for agriculture should be to lower
(50st of production by better methods
and by the use of better seeds and
livestock; to make farming sufﬁci—
ently renumerative and attractive to
keep an intelligent and highly cult—
‘ured class of people on the farms. A
thorough survey‘of markets is also
needed, Reclaiming of waste land,
in President Friday’s opinion, is a
great waste of time and energy at
{the present time when land can be
bought within ten miles of most of

 

the cities of the state for
the value of the improv—
ments on it. He also
brands agitation for a
“back to the farm”
movement as foolishness.
There are enough people
on farms now. '
The vital importance
of " tuberculosis eradica-
tion was impressed on
the livestock men by Dr.
\V.. J. Kiernen of the Bu—
reau of Animal Industry,
Washington. This mat-
ter was also discussed at
several of the live stock
association meetings. and
resolutions were passed

tion by the legislature to
make possible the im—
mediate resumption of
this, work which is now
halted in Michigan for
lack of funds.

Rep. \Sidney Anderson
of Minnesota, an agri—
cultural leader in Congress, gave
marketing

some good advice on

farm products. Produce what the
consumer wants, standardize your
products, and market as near
home as possible was Mr. And-
erson’s word to the farmers of
Michigan.

Dr. Friday Discusses Taxation

Dr. Friday gave his viewpoint on
that vital question of the hour, tax—
ation, in' a talk before the Michigan
Press Association at the close of
the week. We cannot hope for a
lowering of taxes, in Mr. Friday’s
opinion, for we will continue to de—
mand public improvements at the
same rate as in the past. Mr. Fri~
day’s plan for a more just placing
of the burden of taxation provides
for the removal of the upper valua—
tion limit in the corporation tax, the
enactment of the gasoline tax, and
a reduction in the general property
tax of about 25%.

Regarding the gasoline tax Pres—
ident Friday said “I believe that the
gasoline will :pass, although it is not
entirely equitable.”

Dr. Eugene Davenport, formerly
Dean of Agriculture at the Universi-
ty of- Illinois, told of the conditions
necessary to a permanent agricult—
ure. If the farmers of our country
are to be land ownersha farm must
yield a su‘ﬁiCient income-to provide
the farmer a comfortable living and
a large enough surplus to enable him
to pay for the farm in twenty years.
If farm incomes prevail below this
level, the land will revert to a land-
owning class and will be farmed by a
tenant or peasant class.

How Russia, through changing
conditions in the Black sea area, has
lost her supremacy amongnations
for world export of wheat and other
cereals, and how it has resulted in
making the United States the great—
est exporter of these products; was
explained by Louis G. Michael, for—
eign agricultural economist for the

requesting an appropria?

‘fWhen the countries ‘of the world

economics of agriculture, then pros-
perity for the world can be assured
and the present state of unrest ﬁnd
an end,” said Signora Oliva Agresti
of Italy, in an address to some 5,000
farmers Thursday afternoon,

The annual meeting of. the Michi-
gan State Farm Bureau was held at
the College during Farmer’s Week,
there being 126 voting delegates pres
ent» The only changes made in the
ofﬁcials of the Bureau Were in the
president’s ofﬁce, where Walter
Phillips’ of Decatur succeeds James
Nichol, and in the election‘ of one
new member to the Board of Direct—
ors, V. Gormely of Newberry.

The Housewives Congress for farm
women was an important feature
of the week. Several prominent wo—
men addressed the Congress on home
making, clothing, and nutrition. An
interesting talk by Bess Rowe, Field
Editor, revealed the fact that most
farmer’s wives in Michigan are sat-
isﬁed with their lot. The results of
a contest Miss Rowe has recently
conducted show that a large percent—
age of farm women of Michigan are
willing to have their daughters
marry farmers. Milinary, clothing,
and nutrition exhibits in the W0—
men’s Building of the College were
an additional source of interest and
information to the women visitors.

The annual meetings of most of
the livestock breed associations
Were held during Farmer’s Week
this year for the ﬁrst time.

The County Agent’s Conference
boosted 100% attendance, this year.
Talks by members of the agricultural
faculty and of the research depart—
ment, gave them the latest informa—
tion on college and experiment sta-

Grain and Potato Shows
Two new Farmer’s Week features

s

V this year were the grain show ofthe
Michigan Crop Improvement AsSOci—.

tion, and a potato show. Both were
well supplied with entries by state
growers, and were prominent points
of interest to the farmers.

The Horticultural Show displayed
an even greater collection of. apples
than usual; thirty-eight varieties
were entered. Allegan County won
ﬁrst place in county collections. The
Round—Up Poultry Show attracted
considerable interest. and a‘ large
number of entries from breeders of
the state. ,

The central idea running through
all exhibits this year was lower cost
of production. The Michigan exhibit

    

 

     
 

at the International Livestock and
GrainShow atChicago' last fall were
re-assembled by the Farm Crop De'-'
partment as their exhibit for" Farm-
er’s Week. A large wall eXhibit
showing how Michigan cheape'ns pro-
duction by growing alfalfa, it'proved
one of the-most attractive Of the ex-
hibits. ‘ ' ' ’ "

NA pig feeding exhibit showing the
value of skim milk, by the Dairy De-
partment attracted much, 'rinterest.
Two pens of pigs, oneyfed‘on corn
alone and the other on Corn and skim
milk were of such’ great differenCe in"
size that it was almost unbelievable
that they were from the same litter.

A record attendance viewed the
campus parade, Thursday afternoon,
when the student body and all mov-
able equipment‘and live stock ap-
peared in a. procession which ex-
tended for more than a mile and a
half. The parade was the biggest
and most impressive ever put on by
the college, M. A. C. ofﬁcials'said. -'«

Educational exhibits by every de—'
partment of the college ﬁlled all
available space. All the engineer-
ing shops, and’ laboratOries were open
to the visitors throughout the' week.
and student guides were ready to
show arid explain the equipment. All
machinery was kept in operation
most of the each day. ‘

That Michigan ‘ranks foremost
among the several states of‘ the
union in agricultural education was
plainly demonstrated, it was agreed
by numerous leaders of agriculture
who visited M. A. C. during the ﬁfth
annual Farmer’s Week. At the ﬁnal
check of the total registrations of
visitors at the college during the
week, it was reported that close to
4,000 names had been recorded.

The drop in attendance at the
1923 Farmer’s Week of about 20%
from‘ that of last year’s, due to the
almost impassable roads in the cen-
tral part of the state during most
of the Week, is by no means discour—
aging when we consider that the
next largest Farmer’s Week held
this year, that of IoWa, had an at-
tendance ranging from 300 to‘800.

Had road conditions been more
favorable in the central part‘of the
state, it is believed the total registra—
tion this year would have far ex-
ceeded that of any previous year. The
heavy registration of the ﬁrst two
days was attributed to the fact that
the early comers are usually depend-
ent on railway transportation while
the attendance during the last few
days is swelled by motorists who
drive 40 or 50 miles to the exhibits
and return the same day. It was a
cut in the latter class of visitors
which has tended to keep the total
ﬁgures. for attendance about equal
to a year ago. , " _

The Michigan Farmer’s Week is
by far the largest and best annual
state wide convention of farmers

ever held; and is yearly becoming of
greater beneﬁt to Michigan farmers
as a source of new ideas, broader
views, and a better understanding of
farming conditions. I -

An Agricultural Programfaian' 

IT NO LONGER interests people
greatly to be told that the farm-
er is dissatisﬁed. That fact has
been beat in upon the public mind
during the last eighteen months
through. both. the spoken and the
written word until we feel a little
like an audience that has been list-
ening to a snare drum solo The
farmer has had abundant cause for
dissatisfaction. His prices have
fallen more than the average. Hie
ﬂmis it diﬂicult therefore, to main-
tain his customary standard» of liv-
ing. to say nothing of meeting the
debts he may have incurred in the
optimistic days when Europe was
ruining its monetary system and its
ﬁnancial standing to pay him, as
well as other producers fabulous
prices for the things it wanted.
What the country wants to know
now is how the farmer is to be got
out of his present situation and re-
stored to prosperity. Not the pros-
perity of wartime, for that comes
only several times in a century, but
a stable and dependable state of
well-being such as he enjoyed from
1&98 to the outbreak of the war in
1914. American agriculture suf—
fered more seriously during the de-
pression of 1894 to 1896 than dur-
ing these last two years. Yet in
the spring of 1900 Ray Stannard
Baker, who knew the agricultural
situation well, opened his book Our

New Prosperity with these para-
graphs:
A witty Western writer, sum—

ming up the marvels of growth, ex—
pansion and prosperity of the year
1899 in the United States, made
this telling climax: “And every
barn in Kansas and Nebraska has
had a. new coat of paint."

As anyone who knows the great
unpainted West of 1896 and 1897,
with its bare, weather-stained hous-
es, its dilapidated barns, its farm
machinery standing out in the rain,
its ruinous boom-towns, its discon-
tented inhabitants crying out for
legislation to relieve their distress
this bit of observation raises a pic-
ture of improvement and smiling
comfort such as no array of ﬁgures,
however convincing, could produce.

Nor did agricultural prosperity
cease with 1900. During the next
ﬁfteen years the gross value of farm
products more than doubled. In
1899 they amounted to $4,700,000,-
000; by 1914 they stood at $9,800,-
000,000. The number of people on-
gaged in producing'this product had
increased by only 10 per cent, while
the volume of farm products had
increased by more than 30 per cent.
Prices of farm products ,had' risen
more than 50 per cent, while the
wholesale prices of other commodi-
ties had increased less than 30 per
cent. If the 'farmer was prosperous
in 1900 he must have been well of!
indeed by the outbreak of the Eur-
opean war. The problem that in—
terests the public is how this march
of agricultural prosperity can be re-
stored.

The Farmer as Exporter

There are those who believe that
agricultural improvement will come
through political action. But the
fact that the increase in well—being
which preceded the ﬁfteen years be-
fore the war came about without
any political action whatever, casts
doubt upon the efﬁcacy of the legis-
lative measures that politicians have
been willing to enact for the farm-
er’s beneﬁt. It is dawning upon the
rural community that political re-
lief can aid him but slightly. In
the long run some beneﬁts will un-
doubtedly accrue from the legisla-
tive measures that have been pass-
ed, but immediately they will avail
the farmer little. Neither badger-
ing speculators, nor regulating pack-
ers, nor providing credit 
that enable the farmer to borrow

 money to be repaid in the far-dis-

tant future, will help him material-
ly. f

The root of the farmer's imm'edi-
ate Moulty is not to be found in

present trouble arises rather out of
the disheveled industrial situation
in those foreign countries that have
bought his product heretofore. It
was the foreign situation which

brought about the fall in prices in

1920 and. 1921.. Almost simultane—
ously industrial depression struck
our home industry. The consequent
fall of productive activity and of
purchasing power among our indus-
trial groups accentuated the down-
ward movement of agricultural
prices.

Nor does production for the for-
eign market promise the farmer
much for some years to come. In
the disheveled state of European in-
production is
more. nearly normal than are manu-
facturing and mining. Agriculture
differs from other industries in one
important respect: Business depres-
sion always reduces the output of
manufactures. mines. industrial con—'
struction and building operations,
but it has practically no effect upon
the acreage of crops planted or upon
the average yield. We have seen
again during the last few years that
the farmer does not lower either his
acreage or his activity when prices
are falling and times are hard. At
such times he tries to make up
through increased production for the
fall in prices. Those of us who liv-
ed through the depression of the
’90’s as farmers flouted the idea so
commonly put forth during the win-
ter of 1920-21 that agricultural
acreage and output would be reduc-
ed because of the price decline. Noth-
ing of the sort happened; it never
does.

European agriculture is not dif-
ferent from ours in this respect. The
war and proceeded, with their fam-
ilies, and with their sons who had
returned from the armies and from.
the disturbed industrial centers, to
till their ﬁelds. These were not so
fertile as they had been in 1913 and
1914; the work animals were poor-

er; the quality of the seed had been‘

deteriorated but the farmer pro-
ceeded to utilize his labor and re-
sources to the full. The result is a
more nearly normal state'of produc-
tion in agriculture than in other
lines of industry. Europe is not so
well supplied with agricultural pro-
ducts as she was before the war or
as she would like to be. But she
is better supplied with these pro-
ducts than with the manufactures
she must send us in payment if she
is to buy farm produce in America.
Europe is in. no position. to buy
large quantities of American agri-
cultural products at high prices. We
produce a surplus for export which
must be sold on the European mar-
ket, and that portion of the product
sold at home will not bring a high-
er price than ‘that which'ugoes abroad.

In view of this situation,~ome'of
the was for getting the farmer
out of trouble is. to take "him as far
as possible off the international mar:-
ket. For through the home 
entered from the business disam-
sion that mended. from the latter

another twelve months. The pro-
duction; of automobiles defeats all
previous» records and industry gen-
erally is enjoying a revival of pros-
perity. Though this may slum
somewhat after the building boom
has spent itself, there can be no

question of its existence at present,

Large production, complete employ-
ment of labor, rising proﬁts, wages
and prices are the order of the day.
The best evidence available indicates
that the total wages and salaries
paid by government and by indus-
tries other than agriculture amount-
ed to $38,000,000,000 for the year
1920.‘ They felt in 1921 to» $30,-
000,000,0‘00. They cannot be less
than $33,000,000,000 for the year
1922, and will probably be larger in
1923. It is doubtful whether these
payments were ever as large as $18,-
000,000,000 in any prewar year. The
purchasing power of the inhabitants
of our cities and towns is, therefore,
adequate to absorb a large volume
of agricultural products at prices
materially higher than those of the.
prewar period.

Purchasing Power of Home
Markets

Nor do wages and salaries consti-
tute the. entire income of the people
living in cities and towns who: buy
and consume the products of our
farms. They are less than three-
quarters of that income. fonts, in)»
terest and proﬁts make up another
$12,000,000,000 of income for the
urban dwellers. When this is: add-
ed to the wages and  we hm
a total spending power in our citlnv
and towns of “5,000,000,090 for
1922. If prosperity continues for
1923 it will amount to even more.
As a consequence of this revival 0f
purchasing power amongour people
the gross value of the farmers' pro-
duct will be almost ﬁfteen billion
dollars for 1922 as against twelve
and one—third billions in 1921,, and
less than ten billions in 1914.

Our towu dwellers have, there-
fore, $7,000 of spending power for
each of the six and a half million
farms in the United States. No oth-
er agricultural population in the
world has within its own nation any
market remotely comparable with
this in purchasing power. In states
like Michigan, which have, become
predominantly industrial during the
last decade, the urban purchasing
power is even larger. Though the
UnitedStatesasawholehas two
and one-third persons living in town
for every one on the farm. Michi-
gan has three and one-third. The
townspeople of that state have a net
income which morn-nos to more than
$11,000 for’every one of its 196,000
farms. m  they have ac.

The product of Michigan’s vine-
yards was ﬁve or six tons of grapes
an acre. The price was sixty dol- .

The hope of our Michigan: farmer
must lie, then, in the developement
of production for his home markets.
Thus will he escape at once both the
ruinous competition of an tmpovu- ,

almost eleven persons in cities and

maining states there are, on me IV-
era-ge, only one and- one-ﬁfth: towm-

Thirteen states have more people
on farms than in cities or towns.
Adjustments mucus, ' '
This situation is of such recent-
development—in the Great Lake
basin at least—that agriculture has
only partly adjusted itself to the new
conditions. Twenty years ago the
population on farms and. in urban v
communities in Michigan almost
evenly balanced. The towns ind
one and a quarter persons for every .
one on the farm. In 19:10 the ratio ' ’
had risen t6 one and three~quarters
and now it is three and’a third. We.
have had an industrial revolution in
the Middle West since 1901), and
Michigan has enjoyed more. than its
share of it. The wages and salaries
paid by manufacturers in the state
have multiplied by ten (1th ' g the
last two decades. Twenty years ago' ‘ ‘ v
the income of the total population of . J L
the cities and towns of the state ‘
amounted to less than. 82.000 ~mr
each farm ;. in. 1910 it‘had‘ become al-
most $4,000 and today it is, $11,000.
Yet during these twenty years the
acreage of a crop like strmsberriies
has fallen 20- per' cent, when it should
have doubled. . . v ;

' is one of the chief facts that underlie ‘
What is commonly mu as the agri-
cultural problem. _ It is the principal
' reason for- the failure of agriculture 1
to reduce its output in times of de-
 pression and falling prices. When
‘ “curtailment of demand has reduced
the price of manufactured products
to the point where they ne‘longer
cover the cost of labor and materials
and leave a proﬁt, the manager
ceases hiring labor and purchasing
materials until the curtailment in
the output of commodities has raised
their prico once more above cost, or
until wages and material have fallen
.far enough to make production at a
‘ proﬁt possible once more. But the
farmer is'at once capitalist, manager
and laborer. He cannot dismiss him-
self without a net loss. He pur-
chance few materials produced by
‘ 0th” than  His farm is
quite as much a tool which he util-
u p _ iza to sell his labor as it is a capital
~ ‘ ' investment which might yield its
‘ owner a living without working.
7 Diversity of Output
4 , It is clear that the individual farm-
er canndt undertake any adequate
analysis of the market situation
which will keep him informed of the
varying opportunities it aﬂords. Our
state contains cities that have grown
from 13,000 people to more than
90,-000 during the last twenty years.
It is small wonder that production
has not adjusted itself to the chang-
j ed demand tint this growth has
‘ brought. The co—operative market-
. ing organizations in the agricultural
ﬁeld have grown largely out of this
f « necessity for adequate market anal-
_ 1 ysb. They perfirm their most use—-
! ful function in keeping this analysis
up to date and in combining the pro-
, ducers into a compact organization
such that the volume of output may
be adjusted he needs. ‘ The Depart-
 ; meat of Agriculture and the exten-
« 1 sins divisions of agricultural colleges
, must assist in this task in all our
F f industrial states.
 The inﬂexibility of agricultural
. production which grows out of the
nature has been supplemented by an-

heights. Even at these high prices
Europe stoo‘d ready to take all we

half the labor, there was no necessity
for adjusting production to the

The car for the Woman
On the Farm

. Cheerlet

The country woman needs her
own car.

When the farm has onl one car it
is usually in use on the usiness of
the farm, just when the wife or
daughter needs to go to town or to a
meeting or church or to make calls.

The Chevrolet Utility Coupé is
an ideal car for the purpose, as it
has full weather protection, a high—
grade Fisher Body upholstered in
gray whipcord, plate glass windows,
which can be instantl lowered or
raised to any desire position, a
mammoth rear compartment for

' luggage, bundles, a jar of butter, a

crate of eggs, or even a trunk.

The inside of the car can always be
kept clean, because all packages can
be carried in this rear compartment.

The Utility Coupe is comfortable,
easy to operate, and has ample

power to handle bad roads.

(Continued from Feb. 3 issue)

“ E doesn’t know Whether he
buried his wife or left her
her lying on the sand

ﬂoor of the cave. He doesn’t know

how he got out of the mountains.

But he did, and his mind came back.

And since then, Joanne—for a mat-‘

ter of forty years—his life has been

spent in trying to ﬁnd that cave.

All those years his search was un-

ayailing. He could ﬁnd no trace of

the little hidden valley in which the
treasure-seekers found their bonanza
of gold. No word of it ever came
out of the mountains; no other pros-
pector ever stumbled upon it. Year
offer year Donald went into the

North; year after year‘he came out

as the winter set in, but he never

gave up hope.

“Then he began spending the‘win-
ter as well as the summer in that
forgotten world—forgotten because
the early gold rush was over, and the
old Telegraph trail was travelled
more by. wolves than men. And al-
ways, Donald has told me, his be—
loved Jane’s spirit was with him in
his wanderings over the mountains,
her hand leading him, her voice
whispering to him in the lonliness
of the long nights. Think of it,
Joanne! Forty years of that!
Forty years of a strange, beautiful
madness, forty years of undying
love, of faith, of seeking and never
ﬁnding! And this spring old Donald
came almost to the end of his quest.
He knows, now; he knows Where
that little treasure valley is hidden
in the mountains, he knows where
to ﬁnd the cave!”

“He found her—he found her?"

she cried, “After all those years—he

found her?”

“Almost,” said Aldous softly.
“But the great ﬁnale in the tragedy
of Donald MacDonaldls life is yet
to come, Ladygray. It will come
when once more he stands in the soft
white sand of that cavern ﬂoog, and
sometimes I tremble when I think
that when that momentt comes I will
be at his side. To me it will be terri—
ble. To him it will be—what? That
hour has not quite arrived. It hap-
pened this way: Old Donald was
coming down from the North on the
early slush snows this spring when
he came to a shack in which a man
was almost dead from smallpox. It
was DeBar, the half breed. .

“Fearlesst McDonald nursed him.
He says it was God who sent him to
that shack. For DeBar, in his
feverish ravings, revealed the fact
that he had stumbled upon that little
Valley of Gold for which MacDonald
had searched through for forty
years. 01d Donald knew it was the
valley, for the half-breed raved of
dead men, of rotting buckskin sacks
of yellow nuggets, of crumbling log
shacks, and other things the mem-
ories of which stabbed like knives
into Donald’s heart. How‘he fought
to save that man! And, at last he
succeeded.

“They continued south, planning
to outﬁt and go back for the'gold.
They would have gone back at once,
but they had no food and no horses.
Foot by foot, in the weeks that fol-
lowed DeBar described the way to
the hidden valley, until oldest Mac-
Donald kneW‘mt‘ he 
‘ ' t'“ ,.

  

   
 

When they reached Tete Juane he
came to me. And I promised to go
with him, Ladygray—back to the
Valley ofVGold. He calls it that;
but I—I think of it as The Valley
of Silent Men. It is not the gold,
but the cavern with the soft white
ﬂoor that is calling us.”

In her saddle Joanne had straight.-
ened.
her lips were parted, and her eyes
shone as the eyes of Joan of Arc
must have shone when she stood
that day before the Hosts.

“And this man, the half-breed, has
sold himself—for a woman?” she
said, looking straight ahead at the
bent shoulders of old MacDonald.

“Yes, for a woman. Do you ask
me why I go now? Why I shall
ﬁght, if ﬁghting there must be?”

She turned to him. Her face was
a blaze of glory.

“No, no, no!" she cried. “Oh,
John Aldous! if I were only a man,
that I might go with you and stand
with you two in that Holy Sepulchre
—the Cavern If I were a man,
I'd go:—and, yes, I would ﬁght!”

And Donald MacDonald looking
back, saw the two clasping hands
across the trail. A moment later
he turned his horse from the broad
road into the narrow trail that led
over the range.

CHAPTER XV

From the hour in which she had
listened to the story of old MacDon-
ald. a change seemed to have come
over Joanne. It was as if she had
risen out of herself, out of whatever
fear or grief she might have pos-
sessed in her own heart. John A1—
dous knew that there was some deep
signiﬁcance in her visit to the grave
under the Saw Tooth Mountain. and
that from the beginning she had been
ﬁghting under a tremendous mental
and physical strain. He had expected
this day would be a terrible day for

 

her; he had seen her efforts to
strengthen herself for we approach—
ing crisis that morning. He be-

lieved that as they drew n<~arer to
their journey’s end her suspense and
uneasiness”. the fear which she was
trying to keep from him, would, in
spite of her, become more and more
evident. For these reasons the
Change which he saw in her was not
only delightfully unexpected but
deeply puzzling. She seemed to be
under the inﬂuence of some‘new and
absorbing excitement. Her cheeks
were ﬂushed. There was a different
poise to her head; inher voice, too,
there w s anote which he had not
noticed before. '

It struck him all at once, .thbt this
was a new Joanne—a Joanne who,
at least for a brief spell, had broken
the bondage of oppression and fear
that had fettered her. In the nar-
row trail up the mountain he rode
behind her, and in this he found a
pleasure even greater than when he
rode at her side. Only when her
face was turned from him did he

, dare surrender himself at'all to the

emotions which had transformed his
soul. From behind he could look
at her, and worship without fear of
discovery.

dangerous. When he assisted her into

of a hundred yards, she was panting

from her exertion, and he felt the

sweet thrill of her breath in his face.

f‘ For a space hishappiness obliterated

all thoughts of other things. It was

I “They might—follow?” she asked.
I He shook his head.
I “No danger of that,” he assured
I» her. .
L MacDonald had dismounted, and
now he lay crouched behind a rock,

i ’ with his telescope resting over the
. 1 top of it. He had leaned his long
; riﬂe against the boulder; his huge
I forty-four, a relic of the old Indian
days, hungat his hip. Joanne saw

these omens of preparedness, and her

: eyes shifted again to. Aldous. His

waist was the heavy automatic. She

smiled. In her eyes was understand-

ing, and something like a challenge.
: She did not question him again, but
I under her gaze Aldous ﬂushed.

A moment later 'MacDonaId closed
his telescope and without a word
mounted his horse. Where the de-

4 scent into the second valley began he
i paused again. To the north through
the haze of the morning sun gleamed
the snow—capped peaks of the Saw
Tooth Range. Appargntly not more
than an. hour’s ride-distant rose a
‘huge red sandstone giant which
seemed to shut in the end of the
valley. MacDonald stretched forth
a long arm in its direction.

“What we’re seekin’ is behind that
mountain,” he said. “It’s ten miles-T
from here.” He turned to the girl.
“Are you gettin' lame Mis’ Joanne?"

Aldous saw her lips tighten’.

“No. Let us go on please.”

She was staring ﬁxedly at the som-
bre red mass of the mountain. Her
eyes did not take in the magnificent
sweep of the \valley below. They
saw nothing of the snow—capped
peaks beyond. There was something

. ‘ .wild and unnatural in their steady
gaze. vAldous dropped behind her as
they began the gradual descent from

. the crest of the break and his own

heart began to beat mare apprehen—
sively; the old question ﬂashed back
upon him, and he felt the oppression
that once before had held him in its
grip. His eyes did not leave Joanne.

And always she was staring at the

mountain behind which lay the thing
they were seeking. Her face had

; not paled. Its conloli- was like the

g hectic ﬂush of a fever. Her eyes
 , alone betrayed her; their strange in-
v tensity—the almost painful steadi-
ness with which they hung to the
distant mountain and a dread, jofa

. tions which he could not answer.

' Why had Joanne not conﬁded more

grave, and of her mission in the»
mountains?

Down the narrow Indian trail they
passed into the thick spruce .timber.

Aldous guessed its effect 'upon ‘Jo-
anne, and he determined to put an
end to it. Again he rode up close
beside her.

“I want you to get better ac-
quainted with old Donald,” he said.
“We’re sort; of leaving him out in
the cold, Ladygray. Do you mind
if I tell him to come back and ride
with you for a while'?”'

“I’ve been wanting to talk with
him/"she replied. “If you don’t
mind ”

“I don’t,” he broke in quickly
“You’ll love old Donald, Ladygray.
And, if you can, I’d like to have you
tell him all you know about—Jane.
Let him know that I told you.”

“I wil-l,"»she Said.

A moment later Aldous was telling
MacDonald that Joanne wanted him.

Donald~“her nerves are ready to
snap. I know it. There’s a mighty
good reason why I can’t relieve the
strain she is under. But you can.
She’s thinking every minute of that
mountain up there and the 'grave
behind it. You go back, and talk.
Tell her about the ﬁrst time you ever
came up through these valleys—you
and Jane. Will you, Mac? Will
you tell her that?” .
MacDonald did not reply, but he
dropped behind. Aldous took up the
lead. A few minutes later he looked
back, and laughed softly under his
breath. Joanne and the old hunter
were riding side by side in the creek
bottom, and Joanne was talking.
He looked at his watch. He did not
look at it again until the ﬁrst gaunt,
red shoulder of the sandstone moun-
tain began to loom over them. An
hour had passed since he left Joanne.
Ahead of him perhaps a mile distant,

up.

voice. “We’re a’most there.” ,

He cast his eyes over the western
peaks, where dark clouds were
shouldering their way up in the face
of the sun, and added:

“There’s rain in that. I’ll trot
on ahead with Pinto and have a tent
ready when you come. I reckon
it can’t be more’n a mile up the
canyon.”

“And the grave, Mac?”

Is right close to where I’ll pitch
the tent,” said MacDonald, swing—
ing suddenly behind the pack-horse
Pinto, and urging him to trot.
“Don’t waste any time, Johnny.”

Aldous rode back to Joanne.

NOTIFY HIGHWAY COMMISSION-

ER REGARDING CULVERT

Who should I notify if a. culvert
in a quarter line is out, making the
road unﬁt to travel? same has been
out all summer. I have notiﬁed the
Highway Commissioner of same but
he fails to repair same.—-C. E. R.,
Sanilac, Michigan.

——-The statute provides that it is the
duty of the Highway Commissioner
to see that the road is kept in rea-
sonable repair, safe and ﬁt for pub—
lic travel and in case he neglects
this duty, after receiving your notice
you should then bring this matter
to the attention of the township
board—H. H. Partlow, State High-
way Department.

PAYING TUITION

Does the district have to pay the
tuition for a child if the application
was ﬁlled out and ﬁled with the
director on or before the fourth Mon-
day of June and the child remained
in the district until November 16,
1922? At this time the parents
moved to Lake View, Michigan, but
the-child was attending Owosso high
school.-—J. W. S., Lake View, Mich.
“The question apparently arises be.
cause the parent is now living in a.
school district that maintains a legal

 

home no tuition would be chargeable.

Section 1 of the tuition law, which

i is Section 5380 of the compiled Laws
inf 1915, found on page 320 of the
.1921 school laws, provides in part
5 as follows: .
g “The district board or board of
{education of any school district
which does not maintain a high
ischool shall have authority and is
J hereby required to vote 3‘ tax sumo-
ient to pay the tuition to any high
school which is approved by the sup-
erintendent of public instruction of
any children of school age residents
of said district'at the time of giving
notice as hereinafter provided.

The parents of the child in this
case were living in a district which
did not maintain a legal high school
at the time of making application
for tuition. The statute quoted pro—
vides that if that is the case the dist-
rict must pay the tuition for that
school year. The fact that the par-
cut may move into a district that
maintains a. high school would not
relieve the district where the appli-
cation was ﬁled from the payment
of high school tuition, if the parent
continued to send his child to an—
other high school.

This construction of the tuition
law is in accordance with justice
both from the standpoint of the child
and the district. If a child has
entered high school it might cause

 

 

v an interference with his work if he

were required at anytime if the par-
ents moved into a high school dist-
rict, to change high schools. It
might, be also that the child could
better attend some other high school
than the one in the district where
his parents had moved. There might
be several reasons Why this would
be true. Further, if the parent is
living in the district at the usual
time of making application the
child’s name is on the census list of
the district and that district will
draw primary money for the follow-
ing year, regardless of where the par—
ent may move. If the parent has
any property in the district it would
be on the assessment roll and sub-
ject to tax. You will see, therefore,
that there is no hardship to the dist-

 

* rict because it is obliged to.pay~ the

tuition—W. L. Coffey, of,

Public Instruction.

LINE FENCE DISPUTE

I own a farm along the corpora—
tion line of the village of Portland.
There, is no street laid out along the
line. I and the man I- bought of, had
the County S.urveyor,,, survey it out.
There are corner stakes at each
end one-half mile apart. It is on a
section line.

plowed to the line. Now he has
grub'bed out the extra land, and
claims the fence is the line, and has
cut the trees the wire was fastened
to, has planted corn right up «to the
fence so that my stock can reach
through the wires and eat it. Would

those wires be called a line fence?‘

How long would it have to be there
to be an established line fence? I
have ﬁlled in between the trees

with- stakes and posts to held stock. .

I put the wires all along the cor-
responding line. \ Would I have to
deal with the party on the place or
the man that holds the deed‘l—C.
V. P., Portland, Mich.

—You do not state in which one
worked and claimed the rod of fence
to the corporation line. To gain title
by adverse possession to the rod strip
of landit requires something more
than just laying idle and growing up
to weeds. If your title by deed goes
up to the section line it would re-
quire some overt act claiming title
to the strip adverse to the title by
deed and it must be continuous and
without interruption for 15 years. A
two strand wire fence may be a line
fence but not a lawful fence. A
line fence is the line between two
properties and may be marked by
any line even though that line may
not stand the test of a lawful fence.
If you claim to own the strip of one
rod of land and another has taken
possession and not necessarily with
the man who owns the adjacent land.
His contract to the purchase of one
acre may not include the strip'but
only to the section line. I think you
will need to consult with a good at-
torney to explain to him just what
the facts are so he can tell you what
your rights area—Legal Editor.

MUST BUILD SHARE OF LINE
FENCE

I own an apple orchard and it is
open on two sides to public high—
ways that is no fence. There are
two forms that join to my famn on
the two sides. I have no stock and
no need for a. fence. Does the state
require me to share the expense of
fencing?—~J. Ii, Holland, Mich.

-—-Chapter 68', of the compiled laws
of 1915 provide a method whereby
abutting property owners of improv-
ed lands may compel you to con-
struct and maintain your portion
of the line fence between your or—
chard and the adjoining property
owner. There is nothing‘in the law
however that requires you to con-
struct highway fences on the two
sides of your orchard abutting the
public highwayL—H. H. Partlow,
State Highway Dept.

COMMON LAW MARRIAGE

I understand that if a couple
live together as man and wife and
pass for the same, it is called a
common law marriage after a few
years say 10 or 12 years. In case
such couple should separate, does a
divorce have to be obtained before
the parties are free same as in a
lawful marriage? Can a common
law wife claim any of a man’s prop-
erty if he has no other heirs?—C.
D. H., Muskegon, Mich.

“The law is that if a couple live
together for a period of two years
or more and hold each other out to
the world as man and wife, it is
a common law marriage and it would
be necessary for either of them to
secure 'a divorce; their children
would be legitimate and the wife
could inherit property from the man,
or the man from the woman—C.
DeL.

ANYONE KNOW WHERE TITUB
GHAULKLIN IS?

Some time ago We published a re-
quest from Mrs. Bergman, R. 1, Gull-
iver, Michigan, in this department.
She desired information regarding
her nephew, Titus Chaulklin, whose
home'address is Ensign, Mich. In
June, 1922, he worked for a motor
company in Musliegon. She received
a letter from him at that time and
he advised he was about to move.
Since that time none of his relatives
have received a word from him.
They are afraid something has hap~
pened to him. He is 5 feet 5 inches
tall, 21 years old, and dark complex-
ioned. His mother is nearly heart
broken and any word from a reader
who knows anything about where the
boy is will be appreciated. Address

{Mgrtim set 'to work to  ﬁnd;
;.d;ﬁaiifegthodjjof doing it.. This they did
by§:5piacing the point of the cone to
one. side, so' that the defect was
‘oea'ted on the spot where a two
inch hole had to be drilled for the
valve seat. Production Was started
:- u'nder this method, but another de-
*loiy‘..was experienced because of the
slow method of outting the tubes.
rEmde set to work again and de-
signed and built a shear to be used
instead of a steel saw. The re-
sult‘was that 4,000 cylinders a day
wereproduced. In other plants the
valve housings, intake and exhaust
were acetylene welded to the top
_'of the, cylinder. Emde with a com-
'pan'ion,- (Riemenschneider, worked
outs method‘of butt welding which
',»made a superior weld and saved
much time. This «method was sub-'
sequently‘adopted by other makers
of the Liberty meter. .Inall 511,854
cylinders were made by the, Ford
company. ‘Approxi‘mately 125,000
were used at the Ford plant and
the remainder delivered to the gov-
ernment for other Liberty engine
makers.

The company also turned out
700,000 bearings for the Liberty
motor, and these were so superior
that the govermment had placed or—
ders with the company for all the

‘Liberty‘motor bearings made in
this country. Up to the day of the
publication of the Hughes state—

ment 400,000 of these hearings had
been delivered.

., Another important war-time
achieVement of the Ford company
was in the making of caisson axles.
The problem was to get away from
the solid axle forgings, as these re—
quired the drilling of a‘ three and
one—half inc-h hole for seventy-six
incihes through ‘s'olid metal. The
Ford :company made the axles from
' ,1 ftubing‘ at one-sixth the cost.
\ 1 every axle passed the govern—
menttest. '

',--‘}'But Mr. Pipp vknew much more
about the achievements of the Ford
company. It had delivered 2,000,-
000 steel helmets, 8,000 caissons,
more than 8,000 trucks and 25,000
Ford'cars and 6,000 ambuiances,
several hundred of which were
given free. Nor 'was that all. Much
experimental work- had been done
on three-ton tanks and a smaller
two-man tan‘k. More than a million
fdo'llars’ worth of work had been
'[do’n'eiin producing special devices
_ :for.:.the ‘British navy, and the, Ford
chemical department had co-oper-
Iated,‘in the making of gas masks.
Motion picture reels for the Lib-
erty‘gLoa-n, the Red Cross (and other
patriotic uses were madeby the
company» and sup-plied tot-he gov—
ernment in suﬂicient.quantities to
be used all over the country. Other
motion pictures were sent to the

i HoW' much of this information
he would be warranted in publish—
ing as, an answer to the Hughes
criticisms: Was the problem that
{confronted Mr._ Pipp. However,
iti-me pressed and he set to work,
and" a, statement was completed on
“Menday rmorning. Just as he ﬁn—
ished his labors (Mr. Ford, who was
jin'the room, started to the tele-
iphone. “I want to get Eunde,” he
explained. “I want to tell him not
to worry." Emde, it is true, was
‘born'in Germany, but he had been
a naturalized citizen of the United
States for many years.

“Let-me read this statement to

When Mr. Ford had ﬁnished his
Mr. Pipp
induced him to' read the statement.
Mr. Ford a'ppr0ved it and 'Mr. Pipp
sent it to the neWSpapers. It was
too late; the Monday noon papers

had gone to press and it was these

editions that the Ford managers
had relied upon to undo the harm
wrought by the Hughes statement,
for they circulated throughout the
state. The statement did get into
the night editions, but these have
little country circulation, and the
papers that reached the rural dis-
tricts on election morning carried
the Ford statement tucked away
where comparatively few saw it.
It is probable that many who read
the Hughes statement never saw
the Ford answer.

This was as follows: _

.“Our policy is to ma'ke men, not
to break them. In times of panic
great injury and injustice are often
try to keep our heads.

“We would not allow injustice, to

be done to an old, trusted and valued

employee, even though he was born
in Germany. The results speak for
themselves. «Mfr. Ermde, referred to
as the special example in the Hughes
report, has been .with us a little over
twelve years, and he is a most able
and excellent engineer and has' al-
ways giVen perfect satisfaction. Not
one word could be found by Mr.
Hughes or anyone else with‘regard
to ‘Mr. Emde’s actual work. We in
the (plant 'know that he gave valu—
able assistance and many suggestion-s
with regard to the development of
the Liberty tmotor cylinders, which
are being furnished to all the man—
ufacturers, with a saving of three
hundred and forty-ﬁve thousand
dollars a month to the government
over former orders.

From the beginning of the war
we have taken the greatest precau-
tion. * * * We have had no inter—
ference with our work that could
be in any way traced to enemy
aliens. * * * The United States
Marshall can speak for himself as to
our organization and work with re—
gard to that. Mr. Ford was a witness
before Mr. Hughes, but he was not
asked a single question with ref-
erence to enemy aliens, Mr. Emde or
anyone else.”

Under the Ford reply was printed
a statement from the United States
Marshal:

“We have had ‘less trouble with
enemy aliens in the Ford plant than
in any other large plant. If there
is any blame with regard to the
Forn plant, it should be on the

' marshal’s ofﬁce and not on the Ford

people. The Ford company did not
employ a single German alien with-
out a permit of the marshall’s ofﬁce.

Friends who dropped in to see
Mr. Ford that day still expressed

conﬁdence that he would be elected,,

but as he and Mr. Pi’pp left the
campaign headlquarters together
Mr. Ford said to his companion,
“I noticed that you did not join
with the others when they were
insisting that I would win tomorrow.

“No,” replied Mr . Pipp. “I
think you have plain sailing. I
think you have a fair ﬁghting

chance, but only a fair one.”
“But that wasn’t what you said
Saturday.” -‘

“No; if the election had been
held Saturday you would have Won.
But today is Monday and it’s a

different story." ‘ .
“Do you mean that you think

the Wilson letter'——” « .

“In \my estimation,“ interrupted
Mr. Pipp, “the Wilson letter cost
you ten thousand votes. You could
spare that many. There were peo-
ple in Michigan who had forgotten
all about party lines; they only re-
membered that you were a candi-
date and they wanted to pay you
the highest honor they could. The
Wilson letter jerked them up. It
reminded them that they were Re-
publicans and that you are running
as a Democrat. I would wager that
letter cost you their votes. You
could spare ten thousand votes, but
you can’t spare many more.”

Up-state and in the" rural districts
they won’t see tomorrow’s papers,
but you can be perfectly sure that
they’ll get word of the Hughes
report. If they don’t see it them—
selves some one will pass it along.
The gossip that you’re keeping a

ing from a ‘man of Mr. Hughes'

I know ‘that last minute rumors
often turn the tide. In 'my opinion
you have a fair ﬁghting chande.
You may pull through, by .a narrow

margin. You probably will lose by

votes.”

The ﬁrst election reports gave
the state to Commander Newberry
by 7,567 votes. The ofﬁcial re-
count, some eighteen [months later,
changed the ﬁgures somewhat, but
not the result. fM‘r. Pipp had been
right. -

The -results of that contest were
far reaching. If Henry Ford had
won there would have been an
equal number of Republicans and
Democrates in the .Senate and the
Vice-President, a Democrat, would
have cast the deciding vote where
there was a tie. Moreover, the Re-
publicans would not have had the
chairmanships of all the commit-
tees. Finally, but for the Repub-
lican (majority of two in the Senate
the League of Nations might have
been endorsed.

|The many good Americans who
are opposed to the League feel that
it 'was fortunate for the country
that Commander Newberry was
elected. Many others, ﬁnm be-
lievers in the League, regard the
outcome of the Michigan campaign
as a defeat, not alone for Henry
Ford but for the hope of penmanent
peace.

was not until a short time ago, on

This proved that Henry Ford, in
his own ﬁeld, had done all that any
living manicould do for his coun-
try. Without doubt he had been
the medium of saving the lives of
many soldiers. -.
The strangestgthing about this
Senate race ;was that Mr. Ford" was
not a Democrat. He was and is a
Republican. He made the. race for

Senator because he belived ;.in.._ the‘

principles for which Prelsident-_»~Wil-
son was standing. With the"ex—

ception of that one campaign, and.
the time, When he votedfor the‘re-r

election of .Woodrow -.'Wilson, he
has always voted the Republican

battles that ever has been waged.

fending papers,
were printed.

, At length 'Mpr. Ford and his aid--
visors decided that in defense of

his good name he must act. The
leading paper among the group that

A more absurd charge probably
never was brought against a well
known man than the allegation that
Mr. Ford was an anarchist. At his
great plants in Detroit an Ameri—
canization school had been main—

himself, had done great things for
his country in the critical days of
the _war and the beneﬁcial results of
his example and inﬂuence were far-
reaching. He 'Was a member of the
Episcopal church, attended services
regularly and was by instinct as
well as by training a champion of
law and order, of patriotism and
truth. He ‘knew little andcared
less about history, although he

concerned himself with what could
be done today for the good of his
fellow men, rather than with what

well equipped ﬁnancially for a long

and expensive struggle in the

Elaborate preparations for the

the case.‘ The case came to trial
in the summer of 1919 at Mt. Clem—
ens, where it was sent on a change
of venue from Detroit. Among the

attorneys for the Tribune was El—~

liott G. Stevenson, who had been
counsel for the Dodge brothers in
their suit against Mr. Ford a. few
years before. Mr. Stevenson is an
expert in cross examination, adept
in the ridiculing of a witness, catch—
ing him off his guard and discon-
certing him with sudden and unex-
pected questions. Report reached
Mr, Ford and his lawyers that Mr.
Stevenson had boasted that he
would force Mr. Ford to read aloud
in court long documents and ex-
tracts fro'm books with which the
inventor was unfamiliar. Mr. Ford
was determined to do nothing of
the kind. Upon the day when he
was on the witness stand he care—

one such refusal that Mr.
son, with profuse apoligies,
1y said to the witness:

“Mr. Ford, I dislike to ask you
this questiOn, but I have heard that
you cannot read or write. Is it
true?”

Counsel for Mr. Ford were on
their feet instantly with vigorous
objections to the question and the
argument was sharp and bitter. To
say that a. boy who had grown up
on a Michigan farm under home
conditions such as had marked the
childhood of Henry Ford, was illit-
erate was, of course, absurd. Mr.
Ford’s friends believed that the
sole purpose of the question was to
supply a basis for a sensational
newspaper story that would be
widely circulated and thus further
wound the inventor. _

“ '1‘ takes no prophet to scan these facts-
and foretell an early collapse of the
present city prosperity unless the farm-

er soon gets his equitable share. This pres-

ent prosperity is a sham, because it is the
opulence of some at the depletion of others,

the proﬁts of unfair and therefor ruinous ,

trade. Half this country cannot long run

riot in plenty abstracted from the capital of
the other half. The source will run dry.

The way out? Only the slow integration of

farmers into powerful economic‘ groups

and a recasting of the whole system of agri-

cultural ﬁnance and marketing. 1 This is a

national need and a national duty."—Gray

Silver, Washington Rep. American Farm

Bureau.

A TEST FOR LEGISLATORS

F‘ we had been consigned to Lansing in either
the house or senate by the voters of our dis-
trict, which we will assume was largely rural

we would set for ourselves a sort of laboratory-
test to which we would put each bill that came up,
for our vote. Perhaps we would even have it
printed up on cards so that we could hand them
out to the persistent lobbyist, male or female and
thus save ourselves many an ear—full of absolute-
ly meaningless information or advice.

We would print in two colums and under heads

as follows:

VOTE "YES"
Lower Taxes
Lower Salaries
Lower Expenditures
Less Jobs

VOTE “NO”
Higher Old Tax
Any New Tax ‘
Higher Salaries
More Jobs
Less Oiﬁcials More Ofﬁcials
Less Legislation More Legislation

And under these classiﬁcations we believe we
could easily arrive at a sane answer for any bill
which would come up in Lansing during the pres-
ent session.

Only, last week nearly ﬁve hundred business
men, representing practically every industry, came
to Lansing as a. “committee-in-boots" to beg for,
insist on or ﬁght to a ﬁnish for—EXACTLY
WHAT THE FARMERS OF MICHIGAN ARE
DEMANDING— LOWER TAXES! Thus, for
once, are the people on both sides. of the town
line demanding the same thing.

Every man in Lansing who has been sent there
by popular vote has promised to lower taxes—-
every man among them from Governor down, has
premised on his word NOT‘to increase state ex-
penditures. Pretty soon, the people of Michigan
are going to call a “show-down" and they are
not going to be satisﬁed with anything but a
hard-boiled proof that these pro-election promises
have been lived up to.

The Busineslesrmel-‘hopes that before another
issue goes to press we will be able to announce

at least. -

We importuno the: beet-growing farmers to
stand, by the word and the; spirit of this contract
to the letter. When a man: shows you he is will-
ing to work with you, that is your opportunity
to show what you are made of. There is no
indication but what this will be a proﬁtable year
for the, manufacture of sugar, but if by any
chance this contract should: not' prom as wont-
 bocause of a slump in the sugar—market or
some other unforseen reason, let the beet-growers
show the stuif they are made of—it will bbe an
object lesson for big business who now make the
easy claim that farmers are "good ﬂair-weather
sailors!" _ ' .

There are a dozen branches of the farming
business that ought to be operated on a. 50-50
basis—perhaps this will. be an opening wedge in
that direction. _

we are more than happy that The Business
Farmer played its part in getting the producer
and the manufacturer of beet-sugar  working
harmony—now let’s make it unanimous!

 

THE DEATH PENALTY IN MICHIGAN

. S often as the legislators meet at Lansing
comes forward from its depths the skeleton
of “capitol punishment.” We thought this

had been the subject of enough school-room de-
bates to settle it, pro and con, for all time to come,
but like Abel’s ghost it haunts us always!

When that crazed criminal, “Gypsy Bob," al-
ready serving a. life-sentence for two terrible
murders, jumped from his pew in the prison-
chapel and stabbed the warden pf Marquette
prison to death, inﬂicting almost fatal wounds on

the warden's son and a guard, we said: "‘that '

man should be killed!" and the state echoed with
the demand that such a dangerous member of
society had no place among living men.

When, within the past fortnight, a man was re~
leased from Jackson, who had by mistake of just-
ice, been serving a. sentence for a crime which he
did not commit, we said “how fortunate that he
was not hanged for the crime!”

That seems. to be the whole answer to this prob—
lem of society’s right to take the life of the mur-
derer. If we know that a man or a woman is
guilty of a. murder which has been planned and
executed in cold blood as was the warden’s
slaying by “Gypsy Bob", then why should we let
that being live as a constant menace to others?
But, if there is any possibility of innocence, what
right have we to take that which no power on
earth can replace——lifef

FARMEBS’ WEEK AT EASE LANEING
HATEVER has been your own personal

opinion of the annual Farmers' Week at -

the Michigan Agricultural College in
former years, prepare to change" it for unless
your opinion was formed this year, you are draw-
ing your conclusions regarding it from the days
before Dr. Friday was brought to head our
institution. ,

Not that other Farmers’ Weeks have not been
ﬁlled with worthhwhile meetings and worth-while
speakers, but this year's Farmers' Week, showed
the guiding hand of a man who was determined
that the farmers 'who braved the February ele-
ments to come to East Lansing should have some
insight into what was going on in the world to
inﬂuence their business.

On one program Dr. Friday, introduced a man
who was the avowed representative of “big busi-
ness,” as represented in the ownership of the great
railroads of these United States. This man dre-
fended present-day freight rates and apologised
only because they had» not kept pace with the
high-prices of farm produce during war-times,
nor had they come down when prices hit the
toboggnn. A great many farmers and others who
heard all or part 'of this talk criticised Dr. Friday
for his allowing such a speaker. Cornered, how-
ever, by‘ the thinking business farmers in attend-
ance, these critics had to admit that what the

HE Billion» dollar mark in» loans to- farmers
through the federal farm loan system B in
sight. At the close of business December 31.

1922,. the total of loans closed by the federal land
banks and joint stock land banks since orgmisa-
ti'on was “90.506382. More than 250,000
farmers have borrowed. at. these banks. The fed-
eral land banks loud in every one at than forty-
eight states, while the joint stock land banks ep-
erate. in thirty-nine states. '

The federal land banks, cmoperstivelyomd,

’ furnished the farmers of‘ the country more than
$081,000,000- of credits, while the joint stock
land banks supplied $209,000,000.

While the ﬁrst loans made thrOugh the system
were placed in 1917', it was in 1922 that it ex-
perienced its largest growth, when. nearly #350.-
000,000 of loans were made, of which nearly
$230,000,000 were through the twelve federal
land banks and over $120,000,000 through the
joint stock land banks. The great volume. of
business since organization justiﬁes the expecta-
tions of the farmers of the farm roan. act, and is
evidence that. the farmers use. extensively both
branches of the system.

 

THE JOINT STOCK LAND BANK
ROM the published reports of the total loans
made by both branches of the Federal Farm
Loan System. it is. appth that Michigan
has been laggard in. its use of the facilities. oner-
ed by the Joint Stock Land Banks.

Out of a total of gamma borrowed by
farmers of Michigan‘from the inception of the
system to December 31,1922, only 859,0“ had
been borrowed from the Joint Stock Laud Miss,
altho in states like Iowa. and Illinois, the some
report shows that more money has been borrowed
from these than from the Federal Land Banks,
altho they are both operated under control of
the same act. » _

There aresdvantages, which were. well planned
by the framers of the Farm Loan System to both
divisions of this service. It is obvious that the

farmers of Elohim are not acquainted macient- -
)3 with both systems, to judge between them. 1,
We will be, glad to answer questions- oi our read—

 

ers who are contemplating- loans from either
branch.
The appointment of’ Honorable L. Whitney

Watkins of Manchester, to be commissioner of the
state department of agriculture, ﬁlling in the un—
expired term of John A. Doeile, who leaves to be-
come associated with the Federal Land Bank at

N a recent issue of M.-“B. F. you
published an article on the whole
milk situation of Detroit district

[7.111 which you made reference to Dr.
Friday‘s decision which gave “the

producers $3.00 per cwt. for milk
Sudh advance in‘ price was not
only fair and Just but lent encour-
agement to many who had, become
discouraged. M
‘ Recent reports would indicate
that he favors a cut of 50¢ per cwt. ‘
to the producers in order to give De-

. , troit consumers milk at 120 per ht.

Dr. Friday allows that in several .
districts producers 7 are receiving
$8.40 to $3.60 per cwt. whilst con-
sumers pay but 12c. Knowing as he

.unust, what conditions of laboring

classes are better. in Detroit than any
other industrial center of the U. s.
(Men as .a whole boasting of high
‘wages received.) -

We fail to understand why he
chooses to ﬂavor Detroit dealers and
consumers. at the expense of the
farmer who is struggling against
great odds to melke ends uneet.

If D'r. Friday is really interested
in the welfare of farmers, we feel
conﬁdent he will use his good ofﬁce
in our behalf that we also may be-
come something more than mere ser-
vants for Detroit consumers—J. B.
Younglove, Monroe County, Mich.

—’l‘he inference that some city paxp-

' ers gave, that Dr. Friday would give

the consumers 12c milk at the ex
pense of the producer was not cor-
rect. Dr. Friday, represents the farm-
ers of Michigan ﬁrst and in his pres-
ent investigation, he hopes to prove
that the cost of distribution is un-
justiﬁed and should be split in a sav-
ing to the consumer, which would in-
crease the demand for milk and a
greater price to the producer, which
Would increase the production.

MANISTEE BEEIS STILL IN
GROUND

sugar beet question is again
I about to get another airing out.
I wish to inform' you that the
farmers of Manistee township had,
the pleasure of growing sugar beets
last year and some of them made
barrels of money and others are go-
ing to make barrels of money when
they dig their crop in the spring.
One of my neighbors contracted-

' one-half acre and he raised one full

wagon load which netted him $5.00
and some odd cents, others did
equally as well. Another tamer
done his weeding with a spring teeth
barrow and planted corn for a nurse
crop. The 'best ﬁeld of sugar beets
thatwasgrorwnhereisleftinthe
ground for the company 'to come and
get them, but the company has not
come; $5.50 per ton was their price.

dependently rich in growing beets
_ and now they didn’t lsnow what they
wanted. so I had to tell him what
the growers wanted and when they
got it (a fair deal, 60-50) to come
and see me. He bid me good bye and

we shook hands over a barbed wire '

fence. -

I wish to ask one question: “Are
the beet growers organized?” The
reason I ask is because I talked the
matter of growing sugar beets with
our county agent as he was in favor
or having them tried out here at
$5.20 per ton. He insisted the
growers were not organized and said
that he .wonld organize them here,
but there’s one thing I am sure of
when it comes to organizing the
sugar beet growers here he will have
toget out a bench warrant to ﬁnd
the growers.——Joe Switalski, Menis-
tee County, Mich.

PAY EACH WHAT HE EABNS
WOULD like to say a word in
behalf of "Mr... Warnock" of
Presque Isle county. I think he

has struck the nail on the head.
When everything is run economical-
1y. and for the beneﬁt of all not for
a few, then the people in general
will have some heart to work. Let
everyone get paid for what they
produce. If it's $6 or $10 per day
let it be that and no more, and
those that do not work with hand
or brain, that is, those that are able
to perform a day’s work, and those
that will not work, shall not eat.
'Not let a few "stalwarts" be the
means of impoverishing the many,
same as our system is composed to-
day. A few rides the backs of the
many, get their living by the sweat
of some other one’s brow. You can
call it what you are a mind to but
that is the only remedy.——S. H.
Slagle, Harriette, Mich.

—-Over in Russia right now they are
having an interesting experiment
right along the line which Mr.
Slagle suggests in his letter above.
Everything was usurped by the rev-
olutionary government. The rich
class on so—called aristocray of
Russia was driven penniless into the
streets from their homes and pal-
aces. The czar, his family and many,
many thousands of men and women
and children were murdered in cold
blood. The government took over
all industry and incidently, demand-
ed .of the peasants, who ﬁlled the
sell, a part of all they raised. All
men were supposed to be equal.
The government took all and provid—
ed all. Incentative, ambition and
success are unknown in Russia. How
has this Utopia worked out?

The communists have killed more
people in their ﬁve years in power
than the czars did in ﬁfty. Russian
money is valueless. America has
been feeding 11,000,000 starving
Russians and more than that num-
ber have died unfed. Conditions in
Russia can hardly be described.
Many hundreds of misled persons,
who believed everything was wrong
in these United States, left here and
got into Russia one way or another.
Once in awhile one of these deluded
persons escapes out of Russia or
smuggles a letter home to friends.

SOME“"NEW APPLES
HE Delicious may still be class-ed}
among the new , varieties,
though it ls. now widely known
and deservedly popular.
de'mandfor the trees which nurseries
have reported make it evidentthat
within a brief time the fruit will be”
one of the common apples in the
Great Lake district, but that need
It is impossible
that the supply will equal the de-

mand for years to come.. ‘ '

While the fruit has received most
attention as a dessert apple, it has
other uses as well. It is not trat
enough for sauCe and pies, but for
baking it has few equals. Indeed.
if anything can bring the baked
apple intd the place it, deserves on
the American table it will be this
variety,

The tree is a good grower when
on heavy soil, but not one of the
early bearers. However, if one has
thrifty stock of any kind he need
not wait long, for the Delicious re-

sponds generously and quickly when»

top worked. This is something that
has not received the attention it do-
serves. Large trees of undesirable
varieties. so long as the wood is
sound, can by grafting be changed
into proﬁtable members of the or-
chard in three or four years. There
are many such trees. The coming
spring will be a good time to begin.
Golden Delicious

The Golden Delicious is correctly
named, in so far as the apple is con-
cerned, but names so nearly alike
for two distinct varieties are liable
to cause confusion. The apple is a
golden yellow and the ﬂavor ﬁne.
Really, it seems as though it might
have stood on its own merits, in—
stead of borrowing from another
variety by having ‘Delicious’ tacked
upon it.

To most persons the Golden Delic-
ious is known as a highly advertised
possibility. Those who have really
become acquainted with it have
found the fruit at high quality and a
good keeper. The tree is a wonder-
ful grower and an early and abun-
When top—worked on
strong stock it has produced apples
the second year of grafting.

The value of the tree for a com-
mercial orchard is still in doubt.
Such a rapidly growing and early
maturing tree may be short lived,
or it may be a poor bearer as it
grows older. Too much should not
be expected, but it may fall far short

be a desirable variety. That it will

take the place of the time tried

Grimes Golden remains to be seen.
Whitten

The Missouri Agricultural Ex-
periment Station has brought out a
new apple, the result of cross fertili—
zation 13 years ago by Dr. J. C.
Whitten, using pollen of the Delic—
ious upon Ingram blossoms. The
variety has been named the Whitten.
It is said to possess“the size and
shape, sweetness and aroma of the
Delicious, also the ﬁrmer and jucier
ﬂesh of the Ingram, a combination
which is hard to improve upon. By
some special freak of fortune, late—
b‘iooming is added to the other de~
sirable qualities.

The Whitten is a promising var-r
lety, but is not to be recommended
for commercial planting until further
test has been made, for which pur-
pose scions or to be distributed
among the apple growers of the
state. The results of the coming

terest.
valuable addition to the list of ap-
ples, or it may develop weak points

three good crops, then were'killed
by a severe winter.. , After standing
seven or eight years. they were pulled
out. No galls Were found on‘ the
roots. .

A similar test was made by a Mis—
souri nursery. Two rows of apple
trees were planted, one composed of

badly diseased specimens, the others

being clean. After twenty years
there was no diﬂerence between
em.

A pioneer nurseryman of Michigan
stated that when he began business
in the early ﬁfties, trees with
bunches of ﬁbrous roots were at a.
premium. Nobody had heard of
gall in thosa days.

Infected trees had been planted
that had developed into thrifty, pro-
ductive orchards that 'had stood fer
60 or 70 years.

Against this evidence the orchard
Some of
his trees have been weak, sickly or
have died, the ﬁrst or second year
after planting. On digging them up
he found galls on the roots, some—
times many and large, so that it is
hard to convince him that they are
harmless. '

From the evidence thus far sub-
mitted it may be concluded that the
gall may kill a tree or it may not.
If it'can easily be cut or broken
clean -. from the root and the tree is
otherwise healthy and viborous it
will probably overcome the disease,
but it is not safe to plant a tree with
a large gall at the crown or on a.
main root, which has become inspar-
able from the wood. Such trees are
liable to die the ﬁrst or second year.

It is unlawful for nurserymen to
send out trees with galls on them
and pay for such stock cannot be
collected. But these much abused
gentlemen should not receive too
much blame. Reputable ﬁrms care-
fully guard ag‘ainsf sending out un-
desirable stock. Nevertheless, some
trees will be overlooked by the best
of sorters.

The nurseryman has many trour
bles of his own, so it is no more than
fair to suppose that the poor fellow
is doing the best he knows how. If
anything is wrong with his stock he
should be treated honestly and given
a chance to make good.

YOUR FARM?

INCE last November we have had

under investigation the Warren
McRae Farm Agency, of Logans-

port. Indiana, who judged by the
number of‘inqhiries that have come
from our readers, must have been
carrying on extensive advertising,
principally by mail, to the farmers

of

Michigan. .

When the ﬁrst of his circulars was
sent us by a reader, we read them,
saw that they resembled a class of
so—called "farm agencies" who us-

pally

advertise under assumed

:names as."farm buyers," so we Wrote
asking for their references and also
the names and addresses of Michigan
farmers who had sold farms through

their agency.

Some weeks passed and a letter
ﬁnally arrived from Mr. McRae, in

which he stated,

“this is a new

agency and has only been operating

a few weeks.

We have not made

any sales as yet, but have several

very good, prospective buyers.”

A

bulletin of farms offered for sale was
enclosed and we wrote the four Mich-
igan farm owners who had, presum~
ably accepted Mr. McRae’s proposi-
tion and sent him $10 each, to have
him list their farms.

One answered: ’

my

farm, nor had any prospective

buyers from. the Warren McRae
Farm Agency, however it was late
in October when’I listed with him.”

Another:

“I have not heard a word

from Warren McRae since the list-
~ings were given, nor of any of his
so—called buyers he writes about!”

‘The third answer said in part:
was

“I

overloaded and needed the

money badly, therefore the ridicul-
ously low price, as it was cash that

I wanted and still do want,

asI

must sell this property to save some

other property.

So he sent me a

special delivery letter asking me if
I still 'had the 880 acres and if so

he would send me a buyer.

going to be one of the lucky
ones act at once.”

Mr. McRae certainly 'lets no grass
grow underhis feet, for when our
reader did not rush his hard-earned
ten-Spot back by the next mail, he
received. this letter dated only three
days after the ﬁrst.

“Dear Mr. Blank:—

“Mr. M. A. Brown is very
much interested in Michigan
farm lands and is doing to take
a trip with his car some time
within the next couple of weeks
through your section.

“Mr. Brown is a well—to-do
farmer living in the Northern
part’ of Cass County, Indiana.
His son and a couple of friends

will go to Michigan with him.‘

Mr. Brown does not want to buy
a farm for himself, but will help
the other “boys select a good
farm home. He also informed
me that there are other men in
his neighborhood that are look-
ing for farms in a cheaper sec—
tion. I will call on these men
at once and try and get them in-
terested in your section as the
land is a great deal cheaper
there than it is here.

“Some of the people that I
have interested in 'Michigan
farms were under the impres—
sion that most of the farms that
I‘ have listed were misrepre-
sented because I did not person—
ally inspect them myself, but
when I explained that I charged
a listing fee and that no one
would pay a listing fee unless

But read our’ 

' ,scribers letter:

We would be interested to know if .

any of the readers of The ‘Business
Farmer, have sold their farm thru
the McRae agency, to Paul Paulinski,
of Logansport, Mr. McRae’s home
city. As recently as January 11th,
Mr. McRae wrote one of our readers:
“Mr. Paulinski of this city
has just recently sold his farm
for $400 per acre and we have
him interested in Michigan as
hewants to buy where land is

cheaper than it is here and
where land will increase in
value. Mr. Paulinski is mostly

interested in a well improved
farm with good buildings and
will pay cash for anything that
suits him. He also will con-
sider a couple of small cheap
farms that can be bought right
for speculation. Mr. H. L.
Skinner has also just sold his
farm and will be leaving for
Michigan within a few days.
We have several renters that
’will be buying Michigan farms
between now and March 1st.”
But the most recent disclosure,
vouched for by one of our readers, is
that Mr. McRae is so determined not
to loose his postage, that if you do
not send him $10, he gets impatient
and cuts his regular listing fee to”
-$5, and then—becoming desperate
at your lack of appreciation of his

“I am a subscriber of your:
paper and like it very much.‘
I'would now like to asks favor;
of you. Could you ﬁnd out for I
me if the Warren McRae Farm
Agency, Logansport, Ind;,’. is' a ‘
swindle or are they wdrking in
good faith. I received a letter 1
for them last Sept.'. claiming;
they had been in this locality"
and were, delighted with condi-‘
tions here, etc., and with a list-
ing fee of $10 would guarantee
a sale within 90 days, for which “
they charged 259% commission.
The $10 to be taken out of the
commission at the time of sale.
I ﬁlled out the blank for listing-
but told him I would deposit the
$10 here in the bank in his
name. If he sold the farm with- “
in 90 days I Would give him the
$10 besides the commission, and
if he sold it within 60 days I
would give him $15 besides the
commission, but I could not
send him the $10 as I must pro-
tect myself from fraud.

“They did not answer this let-
ter. After a little while I re-
ceived another letter saying that
for a certain number of days
they had cut the listing fee to
$5 and urged me to act. quickly
as they knew of men with means
who wished to buy farms. I did
not answer this letter. After a
while I received another letter
saying that for a certain-time
cut the listing price to $2.50.

I ﬁlled out another blank tak-
ing more pains and telling
things I neglected in the former.

.Mr. McRae’s letters, which many
of our readers have sent in are really
very clever. -. One letter starts off,
with the address and Dear Mr. Blank,
'ﬁlled in by a typewriter on an imi—
tation typewritten letter, signed in
ink, supposedly, by none other than

Warren McRae himself: '

“Dear Mr. Blank:—
“The writer had the pleasure
of visiting your section a short.
time ago and was very much
impressed with your farming
community; also the low price
that farm land was selling for.
“Upon his return to this
State he got several of our
good Indiana farmers interested
in your neighborhood. These
.are all good farmers and hard
wprkers, but want to get away
from the high—priced land. Most
[of them have several thousand
dollars to invest and will be
ready to do business within the
next sixty days.
“If you are looking for
good, quick sale, kindly ﬁll out
the enclosed listing form and re-
turn to me with the regular list-
ing price of $10 and I will send
the buyer direct to you and noti-
fy you when to expect him so
you can meet him at the station.
In case the ﬁrst one does not
buy, please let me know and I
will keep on sending you buyers
until you do make a deal.,
“I do not care to charge'this
listing fee, as I make my proﬁts
on commissions, and would not
have to do so if every one was
'on the square and meant busi-
ness, but as we do not have, a
representative in your section

«selves against triﬂers, curiosity

agriculture within the state are di-
recting their efforts. When the pro-

gram has been carried out the indust- .

rial cities and towns of, the state
should be more abundantly supplied
with food products of a higher qual-
ity than they have ever enjoyed be-
fore. These should be furnished to
them at prices that are reasonable

' and that will pay the farmer a proﬁt

far greater than he could make by
producing for the foreigne market.
This is Michigan's program for tak-
ing her farmers 01 the international
market. , r

The other source of relief for the
farmer is to be found in his costs of
production. These are, upon the
whole, far larger than they need be in
view of the advance which scientiﬁc
agriculture has had and of the meth-
ods which our best farmers are prac-
ticing. An industry may prosper,
even when prices are falling, provid-
ed it can reduce its costs. The auto-
mobile industry is a good example;
it is selling its product at less than
prewar prices, yet is is one of the
most prosperous lines of business to-
day.

Though it is impossible to prove
absolutely that the prices of agri-
cultural products may fall during the
remainder of this decade, it would
be the sheerestfolly to base any ag—
ricultural program upon an assump-
tion of rising prices. Even now
prices of agricultural products are
twice as high as they were during
the ’90’s, and 60 per cent above the
decade of 1900-09. They are 38 per
cent higher than they were in the
ﬁve-year period of 1910—14. The
gross value of agricultural output
in 1922 is 65 per cent higher than in
the half-decade 1910—13. Though the
prices of farm products may attain
a level slightly higher than at pres-
ent, there is no reason to expect any
pronounced or constant rise during
the remainder of this decade. Prof-
its must be increased, if at all,
through the reduction of costs.

Checking Up Hens and Cows

Fortunately this is quite within
the! mounds of possibility To any-
one unacquainted with the technic of
scientiﬁc agriculture and with the
practices of our best farmers, it is
startling to learn the wide range of
difference that prevails among the
productive units with which the farm-
er carries on his business. An ordi-
nary ﬂock of one hundred hens norm-
ally contains thirty that lay no eggs
whatever. A man trained in poultry
can discover these by inspection. If
these hens are segrated the seventy
remaining ones will lay as many eggs
as did the one hundred. The average
production of such a ﬂock will be
about 600 dozen eggs a year. Obvi-
ously the webs elimination of the
coils has increased the average pro-
duction per hen from six dosen to,
almost nine? and it has decreased the
cost of prodiction by approximately
one-third. Furthermore, your poult-
ry expert will ﬁnd ten hens out of
the ﬂock whose everage egg produc-
tion is around twelve dozen. If these
hens are segrated and supplied with
a cockerel of a high—producing strain
the chicks from these eggs will not
contain more than 10 to 16 per’cent
of culls. If this process if culling is
repeated during a period of three
years the average. production of the
ﬂock will increase from six dozen
to more than ten dozen can. and the

I cost of production will be correspond-

ingly reduced.

Thu-e are further important eco-
nomic (inferences between the output
of an ordinary flock of hens and of

cess of evolution. A hen that «lays

loge faculty one of the ablatnultry-
men in the world.
son why a like number of hens should
not be p ' 100,000,000 dozen
eggsby the'end of three years. To
accomplish this we must bars a tre-
mendous campaign ‘ of education
which shall aim to reach practically
all the 196,000 farmers in the state.
This will cost $60,000 a year for the
next three-years; and the legislature
will be asked to appropriate this
amount within the next few months.
Surely there can be no question
about the wisdom of the expenditure,
for if the program succeeds in ac-
complishing only half what is hoped
for, it will increase the income. of the

farmers from this source alone more ‘

than $6,000,000 3, year.

At this point someone is sure to
raise the objection that such a cam-
paign of efﬁciency in production is
self-destructive for the farmer be-
cause it will increase production to
the point where the decline in price
will offset the decrease in cost.
Though this will beneﬁt the consumer
it does not necessarily help the poult-
ryman; indeed his last state may be
worse than his ﬁrst. And this might
be the case if this were a program
for the whole United States ; but we
are formulating a program for only
a single state. Besides this, the
methods here outlined will probably
be applied quite universally within

. the next decade. The road to success

for any one state in such a situation
is to enter upon the program ﬁrst
and to push it more vigorously than
anyone else, for ageneral improve-
ment in the methods is bound to
lower prices. Proﬁts can be main-
tained only if the reduction in costs
proceeds as rapidly as the fall in
prices. Time is of the essence in this
situation, so that those who start
earliest on a campaign for cost re-
duction will ﬁnd that their proﬁts are
increased. Those who reduce their
costs only when they are forced to do
so by competition will suffer a de-
cline in proﬁts.\

The situation in the dairy industry
illustrates well the possibilities of
reduction in costs. The State of Mich-
igan has 800,000 dairy cows N two
years old and over.
3,600 pounds of milk, on the average.

The total output for the state, there- ,

fore, is somewhat under 3,000,000,-
000 pounds. This average of 3,600
pounds is made up ofcows that give
20,000 pounds of milk a year, and of
others that give 16,000 and.12,000
respectively. There are large herds
in the state that average 10,000 to
12,000 pounds of milk a cow. No
man is considered 3. successful com-
mercial dairyran unless his output
averages 6,000 pounds an animal.
And yet it must be quite obvious
that if there are many cows which
produces 6,000 pounds of milk or
more, at least half of all the cows of
the state must yield less than 8,000
pounds, in order to bring the average
down to 3,600. These cows that give
so low a yield are being fed and cared
for at a loss. Much could be accomp—
Iished to increase production and de-
crease cost through better feeding;
but no phenomenal decrease in the
cost of milk can be obtained until
400,000 scrub cows that are now
grafting upon farmers’ lame and ef-
fort are eliminated and replaced by
animals of superior breeding.

Raising the Average of the Herd

To accomplish thm is undoubtedly
a slow process. for it involm testing
all our dairy herds with a view to
discovering the unﬁt inddsiduals. Two
hundred thousand «cows are so poor
that they am be eliminated simply
by inspection. If ,we can induce our
farmers to sell these for beef during
the next year or We, and to practice
better tending, we shall «mobs.ny pro-
dsoeas. much milk with the 600,000
cows remaining as we are now get-
ting from the larger number.

But the great improvement must

heme drum superior selection and

breeding. It is nothing more or less

[than exproblmn in eugenics. These

nated within the next year or two
and replaced by pane-bred dairy ﬁres
of good kneading, an immense step
will have been taken toward as. re-
duction in the cost of producing dairy
products in the future. The Agricult-
ural College. through its extension
department and the county agents of

. the state, has, for some time past

been planning -a state-wide series of

bull funerals for these scrub sires. v ‘

The plea is to have these animals
brought to the market and sold to:
sausage meat, and to leave in each
community at least one puredmed
sire of good lineage. There—amber
there must be an intensive campaign
for the elimination of scrub cows and
for better seeding. Such a campaign
should increase the net proﬁts-of the
dairy business by $15,000,000 a year

' during the next two years, and by

twice that amount in four years. i
The crux of these programs for the
lowering of production costs is the
fact that the efﬁciency of the individ-
ual" productive unit varies so widely.
This is a. stubborn physical fact, the
economic implications of which are
of tremendous import. The product-

, ive capacity of hens varies from 300

eggs down to zero. Even the ordin-
.ar.y flock will vary from 180 eggs to
zero. .
This variation is by no means con~
ﬁned to the animal kingdom. It
holds for seed quite as truly. The ‘
necessity for selection there is just
as great and the possible results are
just as striking as in the animal king-
dom. The situation prevails even as
between two crops. There are more
than 1,600,000 acres on old and es-
tablished farms in the state of Michi-
gan which do not produce crops worth
ten dollars an acre, but which should
produce annually thirty dollars'
worth of alfalfa. Besides producing
a proﬁtable forage crop these old and
run-down soils would be renovated
and restored. At present there are
only 350,000 acres of alfalfa in the
state. . We must have an aggressive
program directed to the sowing of
400,000 acres a year for the next
four years. Michigan can raise alfalfa
proﬁtably at a price that is no great-
er then the cost of freight and hand—
lingchanges from the points where it
its supply us now grown to the point
of consumption within the state.

No doubt the reader has questioned
before this why it is necessary to
formulate programs and legislate
public money to put into effect prac-
tices that are so obviously to the ben-
eﬁt of the individual farmer. If the
question is one of defending the use
of public money for the promotion of
more economical production of agri-
cultural products the answer must be
that an abundant food supply at a
cheap price is a matter of public in-
terest for Which it is» quite legitimate
to spend public revenue. It must al-
ways be in the public interest, too,
that the production of public necessi—
ties thatgo to make up the standard
of living? whether food, clothing or
shelter, shall be eﬂe‘cted with the
minmnm of toll and labor.

If the problem is not that of de—
fense, but of explaining why the
farmer has neglected to do of his own
initiative what .is so obviously to his
own self-interest the answer will be
found in the nature of the organiza-

ready to sell their services to those
who desire the latest advances of
science incorporated in the art of
manufacture. Ordinary commercial
motives. move the individuals coucern—
ed to avail themselves of the services
of. these men. ‘

But in agriculture, where the tarm-
er is not only manager of the estab-
lishment.‘ but constitutes its chief
laborer as well, and where the gross
money income is less than $2,500, it
is apparent that the individual farmer

will'not hire the services of sci’ent-'

fats and other professional experts.
Something can be done in this direc—
tion by co—eperation, but for the
most part ordinary commercial pro—
cesses, under the urge of self-inter-
est, will not. insure that the advances
made by scientiﬁc agriculture are in-
corporated in the every-day processes
of farming. If they are to be so in-

? corporated this must be accomplished

in pursuance of public policy and at
public expense. Ou’r agricultural
colleges are not only institutions of
research and learning; they, through
their extension departments and the
county agents, must render to the
agricultural industry a. professional
service comparable with that which
the manufacturer hires upon the mar-
_ket. No industry organized on the
small scale that prevails. in agricult—
ure will. keep pace with the rapid

progress of our modern world unless,

this public service is rendered it.

In the past the knowledge of the
scientist. and the practice of the best
farmers have been incorporated into
the‘industry all too slowly. The rea-
SOn has been that the various insti—
tutions charged with this duty have
used almost exclusively the methods
of education. They have printed bul-
Ietim and sent them to those. who
wrote in concerning, their problems.
If no: bulletin answering the inquiry
was available the technical expert in
whose ﬁeld the problem lay wrote to
It the problem was new
and oil sufﬁcient interesteﬁeld men
were sent out" to- conduct research
on the spot. In this manner only a.
very small number of, the managers
and opera-tors at our farms have
been reached. The average farm
s'tm lags far behind the best practice,
and has availed itselzf to. a. disappoint-
ing degree of the best that is known
about agricultural production.

Cooperative Eﬂort

Of late the Department of Agricult-
ure and the colleges have supplement.
ed; these methods of education by the
methods of publicity and propaganda.
Michigan expects to rely upon these
methods to a. large extent in carrying
through its program for taking the
farmers. of the. international market,
and for reducing their costs of pro-
dution. They must have skilled as-

BEAVER CUIA‘URE
LTHOUGH the practicability ‘of
beaver farming has not been
fully demonstrated, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture believes
that the business of raising beavers
for their fur may develop, under
proper control measures, into a
proﬁtable branch of fur farming.
With as small beginning, the enter-
prise seems to promise an advance
to good returns and even greater
possibilities.
A fertile ﬁeld for beaver culture
may be found in connection with
projects for the reforestation with

time considered almost worthless.
Over much of the northern border
of the United States and still larger
areas of Canada where such land is
found it is generally unsuited for
agricu‘ture and would not pay taxes
until covered by valuable forest tim-
ber, but would supply ideal food. for
beavers, and if stocked with them
could be made to yield an income
while the process of reforestation is
going on.

The animals should not be intro-
(lced or uncontrolled into places
where their activities may menace
irrigation or power ditches, import-.
ant road or railroad grades, or ag-
icultural districts. A suitable food
supply and permanent water should
be assured—Dakota Farmer.

 

THOSE WHO FAIL

The farmer who takes everything
out of the soil, and gives but little
back to it; the one who neglects to
make the home attractive to the
young folks, gradually driving them
to the city—all these, and then some,
are but examples of farmers who
fail to render a maximum they
they must give—A. F. Sheldon.

You can not do wrong without
suffering wrong.

in the book if put into practice
would certainly make many people
happier, and as the author says
eVen richer, according to the author.

Anyone and I believe that means
every one who fears for his health,
his family, or his business, who fears
the future, who fears to live or fears
to die and who reads this book,
with an open mind, will receive some
beneﬁt from it.

I am going to print a bit from
the ﬁrst chapter but to give an ade—
quate idea of his philosophy would
not be possible in this column. We
are neither selling nor advertising
the book—I am just passing a good
thing along. ‘

“When I say that most of my life
I have been a prey to fears I take it
for granted that I am expressing the
case of the majority of people. I
cannot remember the time when a
dread of one kind‘or another was not

. in the air. In,childhood it was fear

of going to bed, of that mysterious
time when regular. in life was going
on down stairs, while I was buried
alive under sheets and blankets.
Later itrwas the fear of school, the
first "contact of the tender little
soul with life’s crudeness. Later
still it was the experience which all
of us know of waking in the morning
with a feeling of dismay at what we
have to do on getting up; the ob-
vious duties in which, perhaps we
have grown stale; the things we have
neglected; those in which we have
made mistakes; those as to which
Iv we have wilfully done wrong; those
zw-hi'ch we weary. or bore or annoy or
ediscourage us. Sometimes there are
more Serious,;.th,in,gs still; bereave-
ments, or frightfully adverse condi—
tions, or hardships We never expected
brought on us by someone else.

It is unnecessary to catalog these
situations as we at all times in our
lives have to face them daily. Fear

, dogs one of in one way and another,

L but jBYﬂl‘YODGﬂII some .way.

' iLo'ok at, th,e,p'eo‘ple ~you,,run :up
against in the course 0113 few hours.

Everyone is living in .fear. ‘The
mother is afraid,for her. children.
The father is afraid for his business.
The clerk for his job. The worker
is afraid of his boss or his competitor.
There is hardly a man who is not
afraid that some other man will not
do him a bad turn. There is hardly
a woman who is not afraid that the
thing she craves may be denied her,
or what she loves may be snatched
away. There is not a home or an.
ofﬁce or a factory or a school or a

_church in which some hang-dog ap-
prehension is'not eating at the hearts
of the men, women and children who
go in and out.

If, therefore one has the feeblest
contributions to make to the defeat
oféri‘sujchwa; foe it becomes difﬁcult to
withohi it.”.‘ . ,

BRINGING UP CHILDREN

HIS subject is as old as life itself,

T animal or human. The dumb

animals of the wild train their
young and the hear of today is the
same in nature as a hundred years
ago. ,

But in the human, well, we hear
parents make the remark. I don’t
know where my children or child
got such ideas, I never was that way,

- showing that there are inﬂuences in

human life not met with in animal
life, or rather these inﬂuences are

not dealt with in the human as in -

the animal.. A story will illustrate.
Preacher No. one, proud father of a
little boy called with his wife and

boy on preacher No. two who had two '

children, boy and girl. When bed
time for the children came preacher
No. two said to his children, it’s your
bedtime now, put away your play-
things and get ready for bed. They
immediately complied without any
resistance. Whereupon preacher No.
one remarked to preacher No. two.
will they always do that? to which
preacher No. two replied “Will they.”
We furnish the will,
rest. The point is parents do not
furnish the will while the child is
yet too young to judge and use his
will correctly. We furnish, them a
home, clothes,,food; watch over them
and guard them against injury, why
not furnish them the Will while they

Dear Madam:-—- , '  M

We are in receipt of your "ifaipl"

ity of the letters published in Mr.

Pilate.” We beg to advise you that
the letters are not authentic but are.
the creation of the late Mr. Schuyler,
based on historical documents which
came into his possession. We believe-
they are authentic as far as the de-

cerned, but they are not translations
of actual letters. Very truly,—Funk:

‘ .v . Canning Sausage ,

I will give my way that I have used
for years. Having never lost a quart,
I clean small casing’s and ﬁll with
sausage, usually the day after but-
chering. I ﬁll pans and skillets and
ﬁll-my oven. Then I have my jars
sterilized and ready. I cook meat
just enough to get the water out, do
not bnown, fill the cans, use the cook-
ed out liquid to pour over the saus-
age in the cans. Adding lard if the
liquid runs short. I put on rubbers
and caps and boil 30 minutes in my

To remove rust stain—Make a

brushing out as much as possible
and covering the spot with a mixture
of salt .and ﬂour, let stand several

To remove tar—Rub the spot with

To ,remove axel grease—Put sweet
cream on white goods, leave until

To remove mildew—Mix two tea-

To remove perspiration stain—If
the spots are of recent origin, rins—

goods for some time, treat the stain
with oxalic acid and rinse in water.

WHAT IS YOUR MILEAGE?

HE inspiration for the motion

picture was ﬁnished by a Tired
Housewife to whom her hus-
band remarked one evening. “You
have nothing to do but housework.
I don’t see why you should always
be so tagged out at night.” ,

The wife decided that she would
prove to her husband some reason
for being tired. In order to do so
she purchased a pedometer, hooked
it to her belt, gaged to the length
of her step, to measure the steps
she took about the house.

In one average day’s work she had
taken 27,840 steps. They covered
a. distance of nearly eight miles. At
the rate she was going she could
have walked around the world in
less'than ten years.

This, of course, did not include
the “labor of heart or hands," but it
was suﬂicient to call the attention of
her husband to the amount of actual
physical energy which was being con—
sumed in her housework and to in-
duce him when he made an addition
to the house to include in his plans
a model kitchen that would save
steps. 7

 

A FABLE

Having slept for three months, a boa
constrictor woke up with an appitite that
respected neither weak nor strong, friend
or oe.

As a ﬁrst victim he caught a rabbit
which he devoured in his usual way. poor
bunny being but a. mouthful. Having
whetted his appetite with this tidbit, the
boa. constrictor started out on the quest
of further victiials. Presently he came
to a rail fence and started under it. But
the undigested rabbit made a lump which
could not pass through the fence.

Too stubborn to backout, the reptile
remained m that position until another
ra-bbit came along and was also sWallowed
by the boa constrictor.

This rabbit went down as far as the

other "side ,of' the fence formed a, perfect

development of both sow. end litter.

‘ The amount or fattening (nods such

as corn and barley should be regu-
lated largely by the condition of the
sow.

Good rations are: ‘ 1. Equal
parts by weight of corn and barley,
oats and ulddlings. 2. Nine or
beeper-tsch withonepartof
disaster tankage. By seeding ﬁne
alfalfa hay in a rack, bulg and grow-
ing constituents are added and a
hrger proportion of corn or barley
can he need in these retloee. A
small amount of roots add variety

and new as a conditioner. Provide v

plenty of ﬂesh water.

If the saw was in ﬂair condition
when bred, she should gain from 5:0
to 75 pounds before narrowing. The
amount to feed cannot be stated

definitely as much depends upon tho__
individual, but one and one-quarter

pounds of teed per 100 pounds live
weight is a. guide to follow for ma-
ture sows. Gills should have about
two pounds per day for 100 pounds
live weight.

- Do not allow thegeow to become
overly fat but keep her in em
healthy condition. She should gain
steadily throughout the period of

gestation, but especially during the’

last six or eight'wesks.

Give the sow a small amount of
w ashes, charcoal or soft coal
ocassionally.

If your sows in the past have far-
rowed hairless pigs, add 10 grams
of potassium iodide to each 100
pounds of feed given during preg-
.nancy.

Exercise is very essential. Give
the sow a fair-sized lot to run in.

Provide a clean, dry, well-venti-
lated, welbbedded pen. This need
not be very warm. If the sows are
steaming in the morning, they are
being kept too warm. A portable
cot gives excellent results and exer-
cise can be induced by feeding at
one end of lot and placing cot at the
other end. .

Do not keep more than three aver-
age—sized sows in one regular sized
cot (6 feet by 8 feet) especially near
far-rowing time. They are liable to
trump on one another and cause
abortion or kill the unbornplgs.

Do not allow the sow to become
infested with lice or other parasites.

causes the death of. large numbers or '  
» pigs. Control this by regulating the» ‘ 

feed rather than by drugs. A small ‘ " 

amount of oil meal daily‘is a good

laxative.

The sow should be watched at tar- »
rowing time and assistance gluon;

if necessary. If the weather is we.
put weak pigs in a basket with a
covered bottle of warm water or a.
warm brick for a short time. See
that each pig nurses as soon as pos-
sible after being dropped. Do not
disturb the sow even to feed, for at
least 12 hours, but provide fresh
water slightly warmed if weather is
cold. Feed very- lightly with a thin
slop at ﬁrst; Gradually increase the
amount as pigs consume mere milk.
Be very careful to not overfeed at

4‘ this stage as it will cause digestive

troubles in the pigs and may injure
the sow’s urred.

As the pigs develop, feed the sow
more liberally as feed fed through
the sow will make larger gains in
the pigs than the same amount of
feed given direct to the pigs after
being weaned. A good ration at
this stage is 100 pounds each of
ground corn or barley, oats and mid-
dlings with 20 pounds of oil meal.

As soon as the pigs begin to eat,
start feeding them, in a separate
trough, where the sow cannot molest
them. They may be fed as much
as they will eat twice a day of the
following mixture: 20 pounds of
middlings, 10 pounds of ground cats,
10 pounds of ground corn, barley or

rye with sumcient skim milk to make ,

a. fairly thin slop. If skim milk is
not available, 11/2 pounds of 60%
d’igester tankage or 2% pounds of
oil meal should be added to the
above ration. , If ground cats are led
in fairly large proportions, the hulls
should be screened out, as they are
apt to cause digestive disturbances.
Remember that s brood sow worth
keeping is deserving of close atten-
tion. Catering to the individual
needs is what spells success with any
class of live-stock.—W. E. Edwards,

‘ .  Nieces and Nephewsz—I do

not know what to write this

week. My brain does not ap-
pear to be working just right I seem
to be suffering from a popular di-
sease which quickly spread over the
world about two years ago. I am
all right during the day at the of-
ﬂco but as soon as I gethome I sit
down andsit for hours and hours
in one spot. My loved ones talk to
me. but I hear them not and then be-
coming vexed they call in loud tones
but still I do not hear and they are
obliged to touch me to attract my
attention. And still all of this time
there are sounds, passing into ears—-
beautiful music, songs, talking and
also strange noises that are not so
pleasant to hear. I contracted the

disease from the bite of an in—v

sect and while it is said that while
one may get better they will never
become the same as before. One
that contracts this disease desires
to sit up until all hours of the
night, bed having no attraction for
them until around three o’clock in
the morning: that is if the disease
has secured a good hold upon you.
Yes, I was bitten by an insect, a
bug in fact, the “Radio Bug,” and
I have a small receiving set. I am

sure all of you girls and boys who'

have radio sets in their homes know
just how I feel. I hope that some
day all readers of the Children's
Hour will own radio sets so that
they can hear the interesting and
educating lectures, ﬁne music, songs,
and stories, that are in the air near-
ly all hours of the 'day and night.
Maybe when that time comes we can
call each other up just like we do
over ’the‘ telephone. .It’s about time
for a Detroit broadcasting station
to open one of their programs so I
am going to sign off and listen to
it.—UNCLE NED.

 

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Ned and Cousins:—
We still take the M. B. F and like it
very much. I enjoy reading the
Children’s Hour. I am in the eighth
grade at school and hope I will pass.
I thought I would tell you of a day’s
outian I had in the summer. One
nice summer’s day mother, sister and
I took our lunch and went out in the
woods. We stopped by a spring and
ate our lunch. After lunch we
gathered a large basket full of beau-
tiful ﬂowers and walked through the
woods. It certainly was wonderful
scenery, trees growing on the slop-
ing banks and ﬂowers growing on the
mossy banks along the cool rippling
stream. And our cows were lying
under the shade of the large maple
We also
saw many beautiful birds such as the
robin, canary, bluebird and many
others. Their melodious voices were
delightful to hear. It was about
four-thirty when we reached home.
Somewhat tired, but pleased with
our day’s outing. I will close, with
love to Uncle Ned and Cousins.—
Eleanor D. L. Stovel, Hubbard Lake,
Michigan.

Dear Uncle Ned and Cousins:——I
suppose you will be very much sur-
prised to hear from me as I have not
written in so long I expect you have
forgotten me. How are all of you?
I hope well and enjoying this lovely
It is snowing this morning.
We’ve had a lot of snow this winter.
I wonder how many of the cousins
have ever gone to a spelling match
and for a sleigh ride. I mean go to
another , school and spell against
them. Well we went last Thursday,
January 18. We went to a school
six miles from our school. We just
went a little ways off the main road

Pthough when we had to get off the

sleigh and walk a ways, it was thaw-
ing a little and the sleighing had
all gone off and left the mud so we
would have had a mud ride instead
of a sleigh ride if we hadvstayed on
the sleigh, don’t you think so? Well
we got to the school at last but they
were not expecting us and I\ guess
they got afraid and they didn’t want
to spell very badly so we played a.
few games and came home. We had
a good, time, though. Nellie ,Inman,

_hope not, you know you have not

written since I sent it to you. Well
I will be taking up all. of the space
if I don’t stop. Won’t some of the
cousins please write to me? I am a
girl 14 years old and I am now sick

in bed and would like to hear from-
you. :Goodbye everyone. 'Fromyour,

niece and cousin.—'—Audrey Conlin,
R. 4, Bay City, Michigan.

Dear Uncle Nedz~I have never

written before and I only saw one-

letter from around here, so I thought
I would write. What is the matter
with our page, is it going to sleep?
Lets' wake up cousins and write some
nice letters. Well I will describe
myself. I am 63 inches tall, have
dark brown hair and light brown eyes
and a light complexion. How many
of you cousins wish summer was
here I do. We have a big ditch
near our place but the ice is no good,
there is too much snow on it. This
is my ﬁrst letter and it is not very
good but I will write again‘and that
will be quite soon. What! Am I
hearing you sigh Uncle Ned? Oh,
I did not intend to write a story

book. Will Myrtle Baress of Owen-
dals please write to me. Oh,'I for-
got to tell you my age. I am 14

years old. Please cousins, boys and
girls, write to me and I will try and
answer everyone—Alma Holland
R. 2, Qwendale, Michigan. ‘

Dear Uncle Ned:——May I join hand
in hand in the circle of letter writ—
ers? This is the ﬁrst time I have
written to you or any of the rest. . I
am a farmer’s daughter, 13 years
old. We have a farm of 40 acres
and also took a contract for pickles
so this means work. I am attending
Hemlock High School now and am
in the ninth grade. Some mornings
when my partner and I go to school
there is ice on our coat collars so
you may be sure it is cold. I often
wonder why we don’t have school
in summer and not in winter, be-
cause in winter it is too cold to go
to school, while it would be warm
in summer. Your niece.-——Catherine
Baker, R. 4, Hemlock, ,Michigan.

P. S.——I think it would be a nice
thing for you to put a umber of
words on our page for us to see who
can get the most words out of it, if
the rest will second the motion.

‘ Dear Uncle Ned:——I am a girl 15
years of age and live on a farm of
800 acres. We came out here from
Michigan over three years ago and
all want to go back in the spring as
we do not like it out here. I am
in the second year of high school,
and I like my school and teachers
very well. I think I will have to
close now. I enjoy reading the let-
tors in the M. B. F., from the ‘bther
boys and girls very much. Will

Nielsen, Coral, R. 2, Box 4, Mich.

Once upon a time some boys were
playing at the edge of a pond in
which lived a family of frogs. The
boys amused themselves by throwing
stones into the pond so as to make
them skip on top of the water. Th

stones were flying thick and fast-

and the boys were enjoying them-
selves very much; but the poor

frogs in'the pond were trembling p

with fear. '

At last one of the frogs, put his
he‘ad out of the water and said, “Oh
please, dear children, stop your,
cruel play! Though it may be fun
for you, it means death to us!”

Always stop to think wether your
fun may not be the cause of an-
other’s unhappiness.

~—~Yes, I have coasted and it sure is
great fun—that is if you don’tgtip
over and get a lot of snow down
your neck. Your story led-he.—

 CARE AND REPAIR OF THE -
FARM TRACTOR

 V, ‘ CERTAIN amount of time regu-

larly employed should be given

_ to the care and repair of the

farm maeh'inery. It is now the ac—‘

' oeptable time to investigate the ills

of the iron family and remedy them

‘V for their maximum efﬁciency in the
spring.

The tractor, of all modern farming
tOOlS;/lS perhaps the least under-
stood and will be considered ﬁrst.

‘.The rtractor‘, after each, year’s use,
shoul'djbe given a thorough examin—
admirer wear and defeCtive parts.
In ‘or'dinary 'usage, connecting rod
bearings, piston pin bearings, rings
and pistons will show signs of wear,
which should be attended to at this
time. A competent repair man is
desirable" for this work as a job
poorly done is worse than no job at
all. A manufacturing company
should be‘better able to furnish com-
petent help at this season than any
other time.

However, for the owner mechanic-
ally inclined, the following is a sug-
gested procedure for the adjustment
of loose connecting rod bearings.
Remove lubrication oil and necessary
covers to make connecting rods and

crank shaft accessible. With spark
plugs removed, place crank shaftso
that pistons are about one—half way
on their strokes. Grasp the lower
end of the connecting rod for one
piston and move up and down and
also sidewise in a direction parallel

to the crank shaft. The up and down’

motion Will indicate the extent of the
looseness which requires adjustment.
The looseness will be evident. Do in
like manner with the rest of the rods.
Assuming that all rods are loose, re—
move cotter keys and loosen nuts,
holding caps of bearings to the body

' HUBAM CLOVER

As we would like to try some of
the Hubam clover seed would like to
have your advice on this. Whether
it 'is necessary to inoculate-and is
it advisable to sow it with the grain?
Does it withstand the Winter? Also
about what time to cut it for hay and
can‘ clover seed be threshed from
this and is it a good soil builder?
We have a clay and sand mixed soil.
+J. S. Y., Burr Oak, Mich.

——Hubam may be sown with a grain
crop or, when used for pasture and
the land is comparatively free from
weeds, may be seeded alone. The
soil should be well supplied with
lime, the seed bed should .be well
ﬁrmed, and the seed should be in-
oculated.

Hubam is an annual and does not
live through the winter. Seeds
scattered on the ground during the
late fall usually germinates and pro-
duces a crop the next season.

In tests conducted here at the
Agricultural» Experiment Station
practically the same yield has been
secured from Hubam as the biennial
white sweet clover when sown on
the same day. The root system pro-
duced by the biennial white sweet
clover the ﬁrst season is much more
extensive than that produced by
Hubam. ' r

iSweet clover should be cut for
hay just before the blossom buds
appear, and if cut at this stage the
Hubam is not likely to produce a

of the rods. Adjust one by one by
ﬁrst removing' cap  then ..-r.emov—
ing liner on both sides of-t‘liefbear‘i-ng.
The cap is replaced with the‘remain-
ing liners fastened rigidly .to the rod
by means of the bolts and nuts.
Considerable care should be exercis-

ed'in making sure that the nuts are -

drawn tightly against the cap and
the liners properly placed. Turn the
starting crank and note its ease in
turning. If it turns too easily, it is
an indication that not sufﬁcient lin—
ers have been removed. Remove
more until, when assembled in place,
there will be considerable effort re-
quired to turn the shaft. The ad-
justment is now too tight. Again
remove cap, add a thin liner and re-
adjust. This should be the correct
setting. If not, repeat the operation.

Now unscrew the nuts (by: about
one turn and proceed to the next
connecting rod‘ until all are adjusted.
tighten all caps, replace cotter keys

 

add the required amount of new
lubrication oil. Where there are no
liners betweenthe bearing halves,
it will be necessary to carefully ﬁle
the cap to eliminate the looseness.
When thick liners are used, apply the
ﬁle to the liner for adjustment.
Bearing adjustment is not difﬁcult.
It requires a little patience but is
worth while.

Just as the tractor will require
attention from time to time, so will
the various other farm machinery.
Proper housing is a great factor in
preserving machinery. At least a
week each year should be set aside,
know as farm machinery week,
when each farmer can give his im—
plements the attention that means
better service and longer life—«E.

H. E. C., Secord, Michigan.
—Hairy vetch may be sown with
rye and used for seed, pasture or

Hairy vetch is also used with oats
for hay in 'eh case it should be
sown during the early spring, using
approximately two bushels of oats
and twenty pounds of hairy vetch
seed.

Monroe County, lVIichigan, has been producing one strain of
Alfalfa seed for thirty-seven years. The farms on which this
Alfalfa has been grown are mostly heavy clay with poor drainage.

    
   

 
  
  
 
  
  
 

These conditions are commonly considered the most difficult for

Alfalfa production. .f‘ \

1100 lbs. The same strap with buckles will break at the
buckle at about 350 lbs. pull. Ordinary harness has 68
biickles._ Walsh Harness has no buckles. Easy to see why
Walsh is three times stronger than ordinary harness.

' EMBERS oi' the
try association met in contor-
ence three days atM. A. C. Formors’
Week. '
‘ Judge Chas. Gibson, Ellwood, Ind;
spoke to the association Wednesday
on the general care of rabbits, while
scientiﬁc selection for egg produc-
tion was taken up by Professor E. .C.
Foreman of the M. A. 0. Poultry de—
partment. , Proﬁessor W. R. Graham

of the Ontario Agricultural College I
told of experimentsin poultry nutri- ‘

tion .cnrried on at the Canadian
college. '

On Thursday, 0. M. Ferguson, M. v
A. C. Poultry Extension Department '

discussed. how invironmeut aﬂected
egg production. Professor W. R.
Graham, 0. A. C., told of Canada’s
National Egg Policy. Different kinds
of poultry feed and the feeding were
taken up by D. E. Hale, Chicago, who
judged the Poultry Show.

At the meeting on Friday, Protes- ,

sor E. C. Foreman outlined various
forms of poultry house construction.

This was [allowed by a caponlzing' '

experiment conducted by C. M. For-
guson of the college Poultry exten-
sion department.

Over 400 entries were made tor -

the annual poultry show. The larg-
est entries were found in the classes
White Wynndottes,
Rocks and Dark Barred Rocks "mak-

ing the competition exceptionallyf

strong here.

One of the attractions of the show j

was a four-legged pullet exhibited
by the college. This bird caused
much comment among the visitors.

Judging in the various classes was
done by Judge D. E. Hale, of Chicago,
one or the best known poultry ex-
perts in the easily.

POTATOES AS POULTRY FEED

OTATOES should be boiled or
steamed before being fed to
iowls and are fed to best advan-

tage when mixed with mash. Since
potatoes are quite tattening,‘ they

' should be ted in limited quantities to
laying hens or growing chickens, and-

should be used in connection with
other feeds. One hundred hens will
consume about 10 pounds 01 cooked
potatoes daily, and these potatoes
can be used to replace cornmeal in
the poultry mash. It so used, an
equal weight of potatoes and mash

may be mixed together-m A laying ,-

rnash for this purpose may be made

of 1 part meat scrap, 1 part mid-_

dlings, 2 parts bran, and 4 parts

potatoes,‘ by weight—Colorado Agri-

cultural College. "

PROTEIN FOR LAYING FLOCK

I want to know what would be the
'best and cheapest way to furnish
protein for chickens. How about

for winter feed?’——Mrs. G. M.
‘——-Al‘falfa leaves steeped, but more

i able protein. Steamed alfalfa leaves
are somewhat bulky for a chicken to
properly handle. Alfalfa leaves help,
of course, but as the only source of
protein they fall somewhat short. I
would keep on feeding steamed alf-
‘alfa leaves and in addition would
supply protein in some other form.
In the winter, pieces of raw meat,
, such as a dead rabbit, or portion of
any animal that did not die of some
Idisease can be kept hanging in the
poultry house where the chickens
can pick at it. The probabilities are
that with alfalfa leaves and fresh
meat together with soaps from the

' ﬁcient protein. Another good way to
supply alfalfa is by using it as litter
in place of straw.

The egg production of a. ﬂock is
almost entirely governed by the
amount of protein fed. If a suﬂic—
‘ient amount of protein is not fed
the chickens cannot be proﬁtable egg
producers, therefore under average
conditions it seems only wise to feed
protein in an excessive rather than in
a scanty manner. A good ration for
laying hens consists of either one
_ quart of oats or one quart of barley
fed as scratch feed, that is, it is
thrown in the litter as a morning
feed. One quart is usually sufﬁcient
grain for from 12 to 20 birds de—
pending on the breed. The evening
,meal consists of one quart of corn
for every 12 to 20 birds, then in ad-
dition to the scratch feed they should
;have before them at all times in a

self—feeder the following dry mash
’mixture: Equal parts ground oats,
ground corn, bran, shorts and meat
[scrap andtankage. Under average
farm conditions it is necessary to
‘buy the shorts and bran and it is
.always necessary to buy meat scrap
. or tankage, however an. investment
, in these ‘feeds will usually prove pro-
fitable in that your chickens will pro-
,duce eggs in such quantity as to
make an investment, in such feeds
proﬁtable.

 

ROUP

General Discussion—This disease
resembles in its nature colds in man
‘ and higher animals. It is not, as far
as our present knoWIedge goes,
. caused by one. specific organisms.
Roup is not, etiologically related to

disease. On up-to-date farms where
chickens are kept under hygienic
conditions and are properly fed this
disease is seldom seen except under
exceptionally bad weather conditions.
On the other hand it is rather com—
mon where chickens are poorly 'fed
and kept in small, damp, ﬁlthy or
poorly ventilater coops.

smartest  the r disease has '
_deﬁiive¢rr”the name swelled-head. The
, nostrils «being closed the bird is.
forced to breathe through the mouth.
This will dry [the tip of the tongue
which becomes brownish and hard,
a condition commonly called “Pip,”
which may be observed in any
disease causing the bird to breathe
through the mouth. Other symptoms
egg production and occasionally
are dullness, sneezing, suppressed
diarrhea. ' '
’l‘reatment_—As~ improper feeding “
and unsanitary conditions are largel

isolated and treated as follows: Re-
move dried exudate covering the nos-
trils and using a medicine dropper, or
syringe wash out the nasal cavities
with a 20 per cent solution of baking
soda. B. F. Kaupp, North Caro-
lina Experiment Station, recom—
mends forcing this solution through

" the nasal passages into the mouth.

He then suggests the use of hydro-
gen peroxide in like manner, the
former solution dissolving the mucus
and the latter cleaning the cavities.
Following this treatment he recom-
mends injecting a small quantitv of
the following mixture: oil of .thyme
1 dram, oil of eucalyptus 20 drops,
oil of petrol 2 ounces. It may sufﬁce
to remove the crust ever the nostrils
and by applying pressure ovor the
sinuses force the exudate out thru
the nasal openings. Theheads of
the fowls may then be dipped in the
same solution and in the same man-
ner as suggested under chicken-pox.

Immunization—Knowing as little
as we do about the role played by
microorganisms in this disease and
having abundant evidence to show
that feeding and sanitation may de-
termine its seriousness it seems that
one should feel fully justiﬁed in con-
demning the use of vaccines or bac-
terins the value of which no one
knows.

J. R. Beach of the California Ex-
periment Station reports a disease
which as to external manifestations
resembles roup very closely. This
disease has een proved to be due to
faulty nutiﬁ and may be easily
distinguish “ 2 ‘post mortem exam-
ination. I. Small, deeply penetrating
pustules are found on the base of the

 

J tongue andin the sides of the pha-

rynx. The kidneys and sometimes

the liver and heart will be found to '
be marked with a ﬁne network of

‘white. lines which probably represent

tubules ﬁlled with urates. Change

of diet will correct this malady.

How to Prevent Recurrence

When no new cases haveappeared
“for some time and the diseased ins -
dividuals seem well, a general clean-
ing of all coops with burning their
litter and thorough disinfection of
the interior of the chicken-houses
should be undertaken. This includes
thei‘isolation quarters. To'disinfect

 

‘ -;pr.operly one should spray- (soak) the

walls, 'roosts, ﬂo’ors, inclosed runs,
eating, drinking "and other utensils
with a 3 per- cent solution of some
reliable disinfectant such as com-f H
pound solution of cresol or a similar 

desired. In the poultry yard "(Nicki

» lime maybe used and whenever it is

possible to'do so the ground should
be turned over by plowing or spad-
ing. The isolated birds should, be
kept from mingling with the rest
of the ﬂock for at least one month
after recovery of the last case.

How to Make Per Cent Solutions

Per cent means parts per hundred,
e. g., 2 per cent potassium perman-
ganate, 2 parts pt. perm. to 100 parts
of water. 1 level teaspoonful 4
grams. 1 level tablespoonful 16
grams. 1 heaping teaspoonful and 1
heaping tablespoonful 5 and 20
grams respectively. 1 full quart
milk bottle 1000 cubic centimeters.
1 cubic centimeter 1 grain by weight.
20 grams of a solid or liquid to 1000
grams of water, 2 per cent solution.

':,:‘MOISTURE FOR HATcmNG EGGS

ROB‘ABL‘Y no. question concerned
with the" incubation 0f eggs has
called forth the comment and con-
troversy that the moisture question
has. Whether it shguld be supplied
to hatching eggs during. the incu-
bating period or not, is 'one of the
favorite topics for an annual spring
argument among poultrymen and
hatchery operators. .

.There can be no doubt but that
where the incubation of eggs takes
place under hens that there is more
or less an application of moisture to
the eggs thrOugh external sources.
This is responsible, more than any-
thing else, for the currency given the
idea that moisture ought to be ap-
plied externally from time to time
during the incubation period-

We are not absolutely opposed to
the application of moisture, for we
recongnize that there are times when
this is desirable, but, in the majority
of cases, it is unnecessary and will do
more harm than good. If good, fresh
eggs are set—eggs that have not-
been held more than two‘ or three
days and not over a. week, if possible,
no application of moisture will be
necessary unless you are using a very
unsatisfactory type of incubator. Na—
ture makesample provision for the
moisture content of an egg suﬂlcient
to supply all the needs of the de-
veloping embroyo chick during the
process of incubation provided rea-
sonably fresh eggs are set. But as
an egg ages the moisture content
evaporates and the chance of hatch:
ing a good, strong chick diminishes.

Many people advocate sprinkling
the eggs with lukewarm water from'

time to time during thehatching pe—. ‘

riod. We are absolutely. apposed to
this direct application 01' mQJ‘st‘ure. to
the shell of the hatching egg because
We have tried that method time and
again and have convinced ourSelves
thatlit affects the size of the chick
hatched adversely. The more mois-
ture applied to the shell of the egg,
the smaller the chick hatched. This
is due to the fact that the moisture
drying off the surface of the shell

rapidly, as it is bound~to do, draws.

further on the natural moisture con-
tent of the egg and thereby decreases
the size of the chicks hatched. Of
course, the plan of dipping all eggs.
in. lynkeyrar‘rn"water is to be discour-
agedi fer; the‘ same ,. reason. .

‘ Where- meisture. must be added in
the incubator we feelithat; the plan of

moisture as it warms up and unless it
comes from some such source, ,itis
bound to come from the. eggs placed
in the machine. Incubators that have
stood idle in a dry place for a whole
season will absorb more moisture
than those that have been running-
several hatches. .

The‘moisture question is taken
care of by automaticarrangements
on many incubators, more particu-
larly on the large . mammoth - ma—
chines used in ‘hatcheries for the
large ﬂocks. Some of the smaller
machines provide sand trays which
are to be kept «moist all the time. We
see no objection to these provided
the sand is kept moist. ~'If'it,hapr
pens to dry out overnight or during
theday it will, in turn, absorb moist-

harm than can‘berepiedied. If you
have such a mOistureZ-lt'ray, be sure

tions all the time for'thebestrss, f i

due largely to the difference in the
moisture content of the eggs. Abso-
lutely fresh eggs. set in machines
which do not and cannot absorb the

natural moisture content, such as in
.metal machines or other machines

having automatic moisture control
do not require the addition of any
moisture at all. ‘

The safest nule to follow is to keep
in mind that the less moisture ap-
plied to the eggs the better the re-
sults. If you want to test the truth
of our contention, it will be simple
enough to apply moisture to eggs in
one machine and not apply it in
another, but use saucers or other
means, keeping all moisture .off the
eggs themselves. The results will
prove the case.

THE HUNT'ED WOMAN
(Continued from page 9.)

they drench you in a jiffy. Donald
is going ahead to put up a tent.”

By the time they reached the
mouth of the canyon MacDonald was
out of sight. A little creek that was
a swollen torrent in spring trickled
out of the gorge. Its channel was
choked with a chaotic confusion of
sandstone rock and broken slate, and
up through this Aldous carefully
picked his way, followed closely by
Joanne. The sky continued to dark-
en above them, until at last the sun
died.out, and a thick and almost
palpable gloom began to envelop
them. Low thunder rolled through
the mountains in sullen rumbling
echoes. He looked back at Joanne,
and was amazed to see her eyes shin-
ing, and a smile on her lips as she
nodded at him.

“It makes me think of Henrik
Hudson and his ten—pin players,” she
called softly. “And ahead of us—
is Rip Van Winkle!”

The ﬁrst big drops were beginning
to fall when they came to an open
place. The gorge swung to the
right; on their left the rocks gave
place to a rolling meadow of buffalo
grass, and Aldous knew they had
reached the basin. » A hundred yards
up the slope was a fringe of timber,
and as he looked he saw smoke rising
out of this. The sound of MacDon-
ald’s axe came to them. He turned
to Joanne, and he saw that she un-
derstood. They were at their jour—
ney’s end. Perhaps her ﬁngers grip-
ped her rein a little more tightly.
Perhaps it was imagination that
made him think there was a slight
tremble in her voice when she said:

“This—is the place?"

“Yes. It should be just above the
timber. I believe I can see the up—
perbreak of the little box canyon
Keller told me about.”

She rode without speaking until
they entered the timber. They were
just in time. As he lifted her down
from her horse the clouds opened,
and the rain fell in a deluge. Her
hair was wet when he got her in the
tent. MacDonald had spread out a
number of blankets but he had dis-
appeared. Joanne sank down upon
them with a little shiver. She looked
up at Aldous. It was almost dark
in the tent, and her eyes were glow-
ing strangely. Over them the thun-
der crashed deafeningly. For a few
minutes it was a continual roar,
shaking the mountains with mighty
reverberations that were like the ex-
plosions of giant guns. Aldous stood
holding the untied ﬂap against the
beat of the rain. Twice he saw Jo-
anne’s lips form words. At last he
heard her say: -

“Where is DOnaId?” '

He tied the ﬂap, and dropped
down on the edge of the blankets
before he answered her.

“Probably out in the open watch-
ing the lightning, and letting the
rain drench ’him,” he said. “I’ve
never known old Donald to come in
out of the rain, unless it was cold.
He was tying up the horses when I
ran in here with you.”

He believed she was shivering,
yet he knew she was not cold. In
the half gloom of the tent he wanted
to reach over and take her hand.

For a" few minutes longer thew
was no break in the steady downpour
and the crashing of the thunder.
Then, as suddenly. as the storm had
broken, .it began to subside. Aldous
rose: and ﬂung back the tent-ﬂap.

‘ “It is almostover,” he said:_“‘Y'Ou
had‘ better remain in the tent a little
longer, Ladygray. \ I will'goout and

United States and those prevail-
ing in several European countries
could hardly be imagined, and are-
training from getting mixed u h
the controversies over there “has
saved us from all kinds of em.
Furthermore, not only  our home
trade showing marked improvement
over that of last year, but we are still
exporting a great deal rot 
As to the intone, mm are m-
ardoms perhaps, but bankers. manu-
facturers and  believe m
sufﬁcient credit willbe 'mnnged to
admﬁ of large «smarts of mood mod
other necessities. The railroads re—
port the largest movement of height
ever :seen at {this season of the year,
recent shipments running far ahead
of the previous week. as well as far
above the corresponding weeks of
the last two years. There is a con-
tinuance of easy money conditions,
and the Chicago banks are making
loans on collateral at 4% to 517.4 per
cent. Liberty bonds have sold at
ad’vanced prices, while government
bonds of leading European countries
have sold oﬁ sharply, French issues
going down materially, with British
ﬁnances much better than those of
continental war countries and prom-
ise of an early settlement for pay-
ment of the huge loans made by the
United States to Great Britain.
While the home trade of this country
is active and on sound basis, there is
no disposition upon the part of mer—
chants to load up heavily with com—
modities, and farmers should not
look for any boom. It is encourag—
ing to know that savings in the banks
of this country have shown a large
increase during the past year. Lab-
or is well employed at high wages,
and this means large consumption of
meats and other food. Despite the
greatly increased marketing of hogs
this season, the stocks of lard and
hog meats in this country are un—
usually small, the prices are higher
than last year.

Large Sales :of Grain

Only a short time ago it was very
generally expected that a renewal of
war in Europe would bring about
much diminished exports of the sev-
eral grains and ﬂour, but thus far
this has «failed to take place, and
such shipments have been running
much ahead of a year ago. Besides
liberal exports from North America
of wheat breadstuffs, Germany and
Norway have been large buyers of
rye, and other countries have taken
a good deal of rye, which is much
cheaper than wheat. Exports of
corn and cats are smaller than they
were a few months ago, and price
ﬂuctuations in cats are usually with-
in muuwow limits, sales being made
at an advance of several cents shove
the prices current a year ago.
Wheat, while advanc'img in price

bear out this statement, supplies
running far ahead of .a short time
ago and a year ago. The Chicago
packers, in common with those of
other packing centers, want a great
many hogs 'to conmt into imsh pork
products and lard and cured menu,
and there is a very large call in the
Chicago market for hogs to ship to
eastern packing points, but the large
receipts have put prices much lower.
The bulk of the hogs sell within a
range of about 50 ,cents per 1:00
pounds, with prime light bacon hogs
‘going highest and the best heavy
butchers are selling 35 cents below
them. Hogs are selling at much
lower prices than in recent years,
and so long as this keeps up
it will be difﬁcult to check the down-
ward tendency of prices. The mar—
ketings are largely of well matured
hogs, Weights being much heavier
than in past years, causing killers to
pay a good premium her the lighter
offerings. Looking ahead, it may be
said that all the indications are that
large numbers of hogs will continue
to be marketed, forcing prices grad-
ually lower, and the best authorities
advocate marketing hogs averaging
from 200 to 250 pounds, as corn
valued at feeding points at 60 cents
a bushel makes rather dear feed.
Provisions are having a large con—
sumption in this country, as well as
abroad, exports continuing much
heavier than a year ago. Stocks of
lard in western packing centers are
much less than a year ago, but stocks
of cured hog meats are far heavier,
while prices for provisiOns are high-
er. Recent hog sales on «the Emissago
market were made at $6.85 to $8.;7fn,
comparing with $8 to $10.15 .a your
age.
Beef Cattle Plentillnl

Farmers are feeding many more
cattle than usual, and they are ship—
ping them to market after short
feeding, the shortage on the coinage
and other markets including an rm-
usually small proportion (of long-fed
steers and fat yearl'ings. Much of
the time supplies are too large, calm-
ing declines in prices, but quite re-
cently they have been on 1 *mm
curtailed scale, and this mused .azn
upward tum in Chicago prices for
fat hooves. ll‘lre choicer steers sold

for $710 to $11 per 100 pounds, with-

=a good class at $9 and upward, the
bulk of the stems crossing the sales
at {7.77:6 to 1111225, and common
to medium at 3336.410 to $7.50. Most

Rye remains unchanged with little

a rut and there is no indication as to
whether it will leave the rut and if
it does which way will it go, up or
down. The future trend or this mar-

:3 ‘Week of February 18‘
e; ' HE week beginning February 18
:B' » . promises to be quite cold for
w the season in Michigan.
at The Warmest period of the entire
week will occur about Wednesday
ant possibly again at the close of
.  week, while the coldest period
3: ~ of the seven days in question will
’ " cone during the very early part of
‘v the Week. .

During Sunday and Monday and

probably Tuesday the weather is ex- E

 'pscbed to be fair in Michigan but
;  during these latter days the temper-
‘ suture will be rising. These condi-
‘ti'Ons will be due to the eastward ad-
vance of a southwestern storm that
" will bring with it’ much rain, sleet
or snow according to latitude and
particular portion of any stated town
‘ . in relation to the storm center.
' ‘, 3 We expectthat this will be one of
l V' i the greatest moisture carrying storms
9 . of the month and Michigan will re-
it ‘ ceive its share of the burden‘as the
, , passes which will be during middle
9 -- , part of week. Locally there will be
' ' severe winds, sleet, ice storms and
, _ billiards.
.t No sudden change to colder is ex-
1, . “peeled immediately following in the
' wake of this storm although the
; ,- temperature will drop and live stock
L ‘ K, should not lack attention.
There is a probability that storm—
}. ‘ meal will again effect Michigan about
8 Saturday with more rain, sleet or
*- snow andstrong winds.
’-- Temperatures Below Normal
1 During the next three or four
weeks the temperatures will average
colder than normal and during this
same period there will develop some
severe sleet and blizzard storms.

Week Ending February 25

The opening days of this week
‘ promises to bring Michigan at decid-
.'ed rise in temperature. ‘
 The weather will have become
'Wthreetening, the winds increasing and
. before Wednesday general-rain or
' . ,snow may be expected in the state.
During the storm there may also be
.some sleet but in any-event we ﬁg-
' p: are that storminess will be severe
penough to cause delays or hinder—
,v’ances to tra’ﬂic and business in at
* least parts of the state, .
' Following ' gloss, on the heels of
, g»  Storm, he e will be a cold wave.
