Answered only by improved Business Methods
By WILLIAM D. mo

Farming, generally speaking, is not
paying. A recent report of the
United States Departmé‘nt of Agri-
cal-tare shows that in a survay of
6, 0’60 ropfos'eritatrVe farms these
farmers received an average return.
of $917 for the use of an average of
$16,400 worth of capital and the
labor of themselves and their {amid
lies in 1922. They received less
than 6 per cent on their investment
and Worked tor nothing. Similar or
even more discouraging records have
boeniound in thousands of farm-
management surveys made by indi—
vidual States. Compare this with
the wages of from $12 to $20 a day,
With no investment of capital, being
paid to laborers in
trades and other occupations all over
the northernth oi! the country.

It makes little diacrence Whether
the tat-merit purchasing power, in
terms or his products, is 69 per cent
or 102 per cent as compared with
1913, as given by two diam-cut gown
crumcnt agencies. This is purely a
matter of statistical method. The
important fundamental thing is the
relative deﬂation of agriculture as
compared to other industries. Farm
products are being sold below the
cost of production, and farmers can-

not aﬂord hired labor even though it

can be secured. Many farmers have

been unable to pay their taxes out of '

a year’s production. Thousands have
lest their farms. The rural exodus
will probably continue until a better
balance is established.
Business Farming the Answer
There is but one answer and only
one way to correct these tendencies.

of M. A. C. There was no overwhelm-
ing popular sentiment demanding a.
change in the administration of the

college, and the newspaper comment ,

which has been provoked. has been
far from complimentary. It is evi-
dent that the underlying motive, of
the Board could have, been a desire
to Win either popularity or cheap
publicity.

Considerable unravorably and
seemingly unfair comment has been
made upou the' action or the Board
in holding a smoallecf “Secret meet—
ing” at which Dr. Friday’s admin—
istration of the college was discussed.
It seems strange that. it should be
regarded as out of the Way for the
body elected by the people to have
control of M. A. (1., and speciﬁcally
charged with the none too pleasant
duty or "hiring and ﬁring” the col-
lege president, if that body shOuld

TO OUR CHIEF

There must be developed a more of.-
ncient agriculture. We must get on
to a basis of business farming.
Secretary Hoover recently stated
that many farmers individually, are
more efﬁcient- than formerly. More
of them must become so. There is
little in the world agricultural situa-1
tion which would go to show that
prices for staple products will be
much in excess of those now being
received. Most of the attempts at
“quick cures,” “short-cut” methods,
“artiﬁcial temporary reli<f meas-
ures" are pr0ving to be failures.
These are now costing the country at
large millions of dollars annually.
Legislation, laws, and more credit
for those who are already producing
at a loss are not permanent solu-
tions. Farmers’ organizatiOns will
help some, but after all each farm
must be made into a Self-sustaining
unit and each farmer a self—support-
ing, self-reapecting individual.
There is no new formula to sug—
gest—just plain “horSe sense” ap-
plied as never before to practical
farm-management problems. Crops
must be adapted to soil conditions
and available markets; lands unﬁt
for proﬁtable production must either
be turned to pastures, or other pur-
poses, improved, or given up; soil
acidity and toxic conditions must be
corrected. All good and approved
farming methods must be applied.
Adequate equipment must be provid-
ed, but this does not mean on all
farms, more expensive machinery.
High priced gasoline on average
farms may not be more economical
than cheap feeds for farm power.

Why It Happened

ative to the successes or shortcom—
ings of the president’s administra-
tion. And most of us, if we Were the
president under discussion, would
not care to be present at such a
meeting.

And it further seems evident that
the action of Mr. L. Whitney Wat—
kins in standing for the dismissal of
Dr. Friday was not prompted by a
desire to increase his personal
chances for politiCal preierment.
Since Mr. Watkins has been ap—
pointed by Governor Groesbeck as
Commissioner of Agriculture he has
shown a desire to support the gov-
ernor on most important issues. He
withdrew his support of the gas tax
and after the Veto of this measure it
is reported that be exerted himself
strenuously to secure votes for the
governor’s pet. measure, the Smith
Weight tax bill.

It is now reported that in standing
for the dismissal of Dr. Friday, Mr.

 

 

An able men from ofﬁce they have driven.

ﬁnd to the world no reason for It given.

No great man's ever harmed by such a crew:

It Is to us apology is due;

no damage to our Friday have they done:

Ours are the faces they have spat upon.

What Is our bitter loss may be his gain.

than 25 per cent of the total term
production, due to preventable in-
sect pests and diseases and othef
leaks, must be stopped. Unproﬂt-e
able, animals and acres must be dis»
carded. Improved strains of seeds
of high producing power, certiﬁed
when practicable, should be used.
Land and labor must be used for the
largest production per unit.

Producing Power Must Be. Increased

But more than all of these things,
the producing power of the soil,
(farmer’s plant or factory) must not
only be maintained but increased.
Production costs-are ﬁrst looked to
by the successful business man in
other lines. Low costs per bushel-
or per animal, with high yields and

high quality, afford the opportunity,

to sell in competitive markets. The;
margin above costs of production,
which farmers measure as proﬁts
(since they do not usually market
their own products) along with
those other things already mention-
ed, is to be obtained by the adequate
feeding of crops. At least as much
plant food must be put back by some
method as has been taken out. Land
has been the cheapest thing we have
had in the past, and soil fertility has
been wasted and exloited.

We are rapidly growing away
from an agricultural nation toward
one leading in industry. An ade-
quate food supply must be produced
by fewer people and perhaps on few-
er farms and fewer acres. The farm-
er who neglects to inject into his
business and adopt the same princi-
ples which those in other lines have
long recognized as being necessary
to success, is doomed to failure.

By STANLEY M. POWELL

Lansing Correspondent

Watkins has lost the standing which
he has been trying so hard to secure
with Governor Groesbcck, in the
hope, it is stated, that the Governor
would swing the Wayne delegation
in case Watkins should run for gov-
ernor in 1924. So again we come
back to the same old place-there
must have been some strong reason
for getting rid of Dr. Friday just at
this time. Various observers have
different opinions as to just what
issue determined the Board in reach-
ing its decision to ask for the res-
ignation of Dr. Friday.

The theory is advanced by some
that Dr. Friday, although undoubted—
ly a most brilliant man, is not well
ﬁtted either by nature or experience
to be a college president, certainly
not the president of an agricultural
college.

1
Mr. Friday is not an ordinary man.
He is a genius, and a genius is a
hard man to get along with. No one
can co—operate with a genius. A
genius does not wish to be troubled

with details, or be bored with facul- -

ty meetings, such as had been ens-
tomary at M. A. C. under previous
administrations. If a student com-

intendent and from the school di-
rector’s reports of the districts.

It will be noticed that a comparis—
on is made in each case between an
ordinary graded district and a con-
solidated school district, that is,
Suttons Bay is compared with Bear

.Lake and Mason with Grand Blanc.

The assessed valuation} number of
children on the census list, number
of teachers employed, and types of
schools are practically the same at

Bear Lake and Suttons Bay. Mason
has a larger nonresident enrollment
and employs more teachers than
Grand Blanc but they are very sim—
ilar in other respects.

In making comparisons between.

schools as to costs it is just as es-
sential to take into consideration the
size of the district and the character
of the courses offered as it is to com—
pare the costs of farm management
betWeen farms that are of about the
same acreageand that are carrying
on practically the same lines of
farming. We would not compare
the cost of overhead in general run—
ning expense of a forty-acre farm
with that of a one hundred sixty
acre farm but would make our com—
parison in the case of a forty—acre
farm with that of another forty-acre
farm and of a one hundred sixty
acre farm with that of another one
hundred sixty acre farm. So in
making comparisons as to school
costs we .should compare the twelve
grade school of a consolidated dist-

 

cational subjects. Just
as it costs more to man—
age_a one hundred sixty
acre farm than it does to
manage a forty-- acre

 

And here Is the old one-room country school,

‘farm, likewise it costs more to mains .
-tain a good up-to—date twelve grade!“
school in which vocational,‘education'
is given special consideration than it
does to maintain a one—teacher ele-'
mentary school for the entire eight'
grades. ~ , 12

In' the second place, in making.
comparisons'there are a few addi—

tional factors that should be taken' ‘

into consideration. Among there»
would the number of courses oﬂer: ‘
ed; the amount and character of the ” '
equipment; number of special teach-
ers employed, if any; and whether
the plan of organization and ecurse
of study is well adapted to the type
and use of the school. The small ,
school district should not attempt to.
provide the variety of courses that
are possible in the larger school sys-
tem. Both in the small graded dist-
rict and in the ordinary consolidated
school, we should avoid duplication
of courses and of equipment and ad-
here quite closely to the essentials.
This [can readily be done by alternat-
ing certain courses; by \conserving
the teaching force through choosing

CAN COLLECT AMOUNT OF NOTE

Twelve years ago I backe " a
' man’s note for $100 which he ne-
glected to pay. He worked for me
which amounted to $25.00, which I
' payed on the note. But since there
7’ , is $5.75 back interest which has
7-, - been addedon the note. The note
.. §‘_ now is $80.75 at 7 per cent interest.
I got a new note Dec. 29, 1922. The
» new note reads that beginning Feb.
15, 1923, he is to pay me $10 semi-
' monthly until it is payed. This man
. has worked at Ford’s factory for
three years, and pays no attention
to the note. In the meantime he
received $1,000 from his father’s
estate and he promised to pay it
then, but didn‘t. The man the
money was borrowed from refused
to carry him any longer and the new

The Improved Binder of Today

Every year the-old binder falls 03 a bit more
in eﬁiciency. The owner hardly realizes the
gradual declinér‘Fiiially comes a'time when
the risk is too great. Poor cutting, faulty
binding, Clogged elevators, heavy draft,
delays, emergency repairs, lost bushels and
loss of temper— these are incidents of the
harvest with a worn-out binder.

In the meantime the new McCormick,
Deering or Milwaukee binder goes into
neighboring ﬁelds and surprises and pleases
its owners in a hundred different details.

If you haven’t seen the perfected binder

of 1923 you can’t realize what a vastly
improved harvester it is. You will ﬁnd
it a marvel of skill and good workmanship,
simpler, better made, easier to handle and
ready for many years of good service.

Harvest is the critical time when all your '
plans and labors come to a head; go at it
with trustworthy equipment. Will your
binder stand the test this season? If any
doubt is in your mind, invest in the crop-

the judgement is satisﬁed they can seize and

In Detroit in the month 01" April eighteen
people were killed by automobiles. Only in
ﬁve cases, according to the police records, was
the automobile driver to blame. In eighteen

Cain says: f'Kin yam- fellow/-

"Love them." If our enemies art-
to be conquered, it must be by bleed-
rather than bloody
swords. And Sh‘eerod Eddy writes
just this is going 011 now in India
under the leadership of Gandhi, who
now lies silent and lonesome in the
enemy’s prison. When will we in
America believe that it is time to
non-cooperate With evil and pay the
extreme sacriﬁce for the good? Sure-
ly, it is the business of the church
today to feed, and heal, and brother
our err‘ing world. The church has
been humiliated in permitting the
world War and it will be to her in-
creasing shame ii she permits an-
other. Her supreme law is that of
love. ,

Again, the Blood says: The
church must return from the “Nod”.
to its unique and divine mission of.
preparing. tor a reign of Gospel
peace. No ostensiable pleas for na-
tional honor and justice can change
her mission. It is her solemn duty
now, to strike hard, to bring in that
newer, brighter Kingdom that is not
at this world. She must rise her
ideals, ﬂoat the banner oi pease, and
establish the authority of. the Spirit
and not 01 the sword, lest she be‘
come a disappointment both to her
Head and to the World, whose spirit-
ual hunger is daily increasing and
must look to her for a ﬁlling.

*At any cost the church must pay
the price in priestly function of bear-
ing the world back into the presence
0: Jehovah, its Invisible King.

(Continued from May 26 issue)

E began pacing back and forth in
his room clouding himself in the
smoke of his pipe. Frequently

Joanne’s mind had ﬁlled him with
an exquisite delight by its quickness
and at times almost magic percept-
iveness, and he realized that in these
things, and the ﬁneness of her wo-
man’s intution, now lay his greatest
menace. He was sure that she und-
erstood the meaning of the assault
upon her that night, though she had
apparently believed what he and
Blackton had told them—that it had
been the attack of irresponsible and
Yet he was cer-

that Quade had been responsible.

He went to bed, dreading what
questions and new developments the
morning might bring forth. And
when morning came, he was both
amazed and delighted. The near
tragedy of the previous night might
never have happened in so far as he
could judge from Joanne’s appear-
ance. When she came out of her
room to meet him, in the glow of a
hall lamp, her eyes were like stars,
and the colour in her cheeks was like
.that of a rose fresh from its slumber
in dew.

“I’m so happy, and what happen-
ed last night seems so like a bad
dream,” she whispered, ashe held
her close to him for a few minutes
before descending the stairs. “I
shall worry about Peggy, John. I
shall. I don’t understand how her
husband dares to bring her among
savages like these. You wouldn’t
leave me among them, would you?”
And as she asked the question, and
his lips pressed hers, John Aldous
still believed that in her heart she
knew the truth of that night attack.

If she did know, she kept her
secret from him all that day. They

left Tete Jaune before sunrise with.

an outﬁt which MacDonald had cut
down to six horses. Its smallness
roused Joanne's question, for Aldous
had described to her an outﬁt of
twenty horses. He explained that a.
large outﬁt made travel much more
diﬁ‘icult and slow, but he did not tell
her that with six horses instead’ of
twenty they could travel less con-
spicuously, more easily conceal
themselves from enemies, and, if
necessary, make quick ﬂight or swift
pursuit.

They stopped to camp for the
night in a little basin that drew from
Joanne an exclamation of joy and
wonder. They had reached the up-
per timber- line, and on three sides
the basin was shut in by treeless and
brush— naked walls of the mountains.
In the centre of the dip was a lake
fed by a tiny stream that fell in a
series of ribbonlike cataracts a sheer
thousand feet from the snow-peaks
that towered above them. Small,
parklike clumps of spruce dotted the
minature valley; over it hung a sky
as blue as epphire and‘under their
feet was a carpet of soft grass spray-
ed with little blue forget~me—nots
and wild asters.

“I have never seen anything a half
so beautiful as this!” cried Joanne,
as Aldous helped her from her horse.

As her feet touched the ground -

she gave a little cry and hung limply
in his arms.

“I’m lame—lame for life!” she
laughed in mock humour. “John, I
can’t stand. I really can’t!”

Old Donald was chuckling in his
beard as he came up.

“You ain ’t nearly so lame as you’ll
be to— —morrow,” he comforted her.
“An’ you won ’t be nearly so lame to—
morrow as you 1’1 be next day. Then
you ’11 begin to get used to it, Mis'

' Joanne.’

“Mrs. Aldous, Donald,” she cor-'
rected sweetly. “Or—just Joanne.”

At that Aldous found himself hold-
ing her so closely that she gave a lit-
tle gasp.

“Please don't,” she expostulated.
“Your arms are terribly strong,
John!”

'. MacDonald had turned away, still
chuckling, and began to unpi‘ck.
Joanne looked behind her, then
quickly held up her softly pouted
lips. Aldous kissed her, and would
have kissed her again but she slip-

ped suddenly from his arms «and go-

ing to Pinto began to untie a dish-,3
pan that was fastened to the top of ‘

his pack.

“Get to work, John ‘Aldousi” she

commanded.

MacDonald had camped before in ’1
the basin, and there were tepee poles ,
ready cut; as light and dry as match- “

wood. Joanne watched them as
they put up the tent, and when it
was done, and she looked inside, she
cried delightedly:

“It’s the snuggest little home I.

ever had, John!”

After that she busied herself in a
way that was a constantly growing»

pleasure to him. She took posses-
sion at once of pots and pans and
kettles. She lost no time in im-
pressing upon both Aldous and Mac-
Donald the fact that while she was

laughing, joyous and happy. Mac-

obeyed her like a boy, and once Ald-
ous caught him looking at her in a
way that set him thinking again of
those days years and years ago, and
of othervcamps, and of another we-
man—like Joanne.

MacDonald had thought of thiS'

ﬁrst camp—and there were porter-
house steaks for supper, which he
had brought packed in a kettle of ice.
When they sat down to the meal,
Joanne was facing a distant snow-
capped ridge that cut the Skyline,
and the last of the sun, reﬂected
from the face of the mountain on the
east, had set brown and gold ﬁres
aglow in her hair. They were part-
ly through when her eyes rested on
the distant snow~ridge. Aldous saw
her looking steadily. ~ Suddenly she
pointed beyond him.

“I see something moving over the
snow on that mountain!" she cried
excitedly. “It is hurrying toward
the summit—just under the skyline!
What is it?”

Aldous and MacDonald looked to-
ward the ridge. Fully a mile away,
almost even with the skyline now, a

small dark object was moving over‘

the white surface of the snow.

“It ain ’t a goat, ” said MacDonald,
“because a goat is White, and we
couldn’t see it on the snow. It ain’t
a sheep, ’cause it’s too dark, an’
movin’ too slow. It must be a bear,
but why in the name 0’ sin a bear
would be that‘high, I don’t know!”

He jumped up and ran for his tele—
scope. .

“A grizzly,” whispered Joanne

tensely. “Would it be a grizzly,
John?”
“Possibly,’ he answered. “In-

deed, it’s very likely. This is a
grizzley country. If we hurry you
can get a look at him through the
telescope. ”

MacDonald was already studying
the object through his long glass
when they joined him.

“It' s a bear, ’he said.

“Please—please let ‘me look at
him," begged Joanne.

The dark object was now almost
on the skyline. Half a minute more
and it would pass over and out of
sight MacDonald still held his eye
to the telescope, as though he had
not heard Joanne. Not until the

moving object had crossed the sky--

line, and had disappeared, did he re-
ply to her.

“The light’s bad an’, you couldn’t
have made him out very well, ” he
said. “We’ll show you plenty o’
Grizzlies, an' so near you won't want
a telescope. Eh, Johnny?”

As he looked at Aldous there was
a strange look in his eyes, and dur-
ing the supper he was restless, and

- ate hurriedly. When he had ﬁnish~

ed he rose and picked up his long

. appearance. In New York State, you

can find,“ within twenty-ﬁve miles,

V ' families who would reluctantly ac-

cept the gift of Ben Davis apples,

and families who, in the market,~
;would invariably pick the same ap-
ple first.

. Appearance partly ex-
plains, undoubtedly, interesting hap-
penings in apple history. -

The past ﬁfty years has witnessed
the introduction of many new apple
varieties. Through tests, both pro-
duction and marketing, many have
been eliminated, some have staid.
Note, however, what powerful inﬂu-
ences apples predominantly of a
certain color—red—have had in
their favor.

For the mass of people, there can
be no argument—red .is the peer-
less apple color. Back in the days
when America was largely rural, ap-
pearance was of far less importance
in determining an apple’s popularity.
Then two other colors had equal em-
inence with red—russet, and green.
Those coldrs were associated with
mighty valuable qualities in apples.
There was no cider like Russet cid-
into the
spring like Russets. Today, you can

_.ﬁnd people readily who never tasted

a Russet‘apple in their lives, pos-
sibly even never saw one.

Color has a great deal to do, un-
questionably, with this condition.
Red apples appeal most to the eye.
They sell most readily in the market,
other things being equal. In the
war for survival with them, russet,
green, yellow apples, all have a stiff
handicap at the start. a .

The proportion of red apples go-
ing to market—this is a prediction
——will be greater twenty—ﬁve years
from now. Salability is a big virtue
in an apple, and a popular color con-
tributes much to it.

A RIP VAN WINKLE VISIT TO
COUNTRY STORES
HERE are two things which Rip
Van Winkle, visiting country
stores of today, would ﬁnd dis-
tinctly different. They are changes
which have come about largely with-
in the past thirty years. Both rep-
resent steadily accentuating condi-
tion.

One is the one-price system. The
old folks can recall the time when no
country stores at all sold on a one-
price basis. The best buyer was the
most industrious haggler. The store-
keeper believed there was no other
practical way to sell; justly as ﬁrm-
ly, the buyer believed there was no
other practical way to— buy. The
onecpriCe system came into use as
merchants got a vision of the possi-
bilities in volume, and a true idea
of the relative unimportance of the
individual transaction.

The one-price system wins conﬁd—
ence, and saves tremendous amounts
of time consumed when merchant
and customer wage a battle of wits
over small transactions. ‘

Not all country stores, yet, are
one-price stores. Some stores which
set up to be, in practice are not. But
the number ofkinﬂexibly one-price
stores grows greater year by year.

«Farm people, in particular farm
women, are known as excellent buy-

with merchants than formerly,
“shopping around,” always good

a comparison of goods and prices, is

growing easier all the time, owing
to the second great change alluded
to above. That is the sale of adver-

DR. FRIDAY RESIGNS

NCE again the Michigan Agricultural College
ﬁnds itself without a president. Most of
' our readers are familiar with the decidedly
unpleasant odor which will permeate the .campus
for some time to come. It will not be as easy
to secure a man who has axmind of his own to
head the oldest farmer’s school in America. The
late unpleasantness got far too much publicity.

for the beneﬁt of the college.

g Our Lansing correspondent, Mr. Powell, who is
a graduate of M. A. C. and who has given a sum-
mary of the events leading up to the acceptance
of the resignation of Dr. Friday, on page three
of this issue, admits that Dr. Friday is a genius,
but hints that a genius is quite apt to be temper-
mental and headstrong. Colonel Roosevelt was
credited with these same attributes. A man with
new ideas is always a genius and a man who

 

 

 

tells.

 

 

 

makes his ideas into realities is always head-4

strong, he must be to get them done.

Dr. Friday was the ﬁrst president of the Mich-
igan Agricultural College who ever took a direct
and militant interest in the marketing problems
of the farmers in Michigan.

We challenge any enemy of Dr. Friday to dis—
prove this statement.

For this interest in the producer's problem he‘

was throttled, just as every man or institution
which seeks to tread on the sacred toes of the
“middle-men” are bow~beaten, lied about and
thus, ﬁnally put in a bad light before the very
producers they are seeking to aid.

We are not concerned about Dr. Friday per-
sonally. We know he has resigned to accept a
position which pays him nearly double his pres-
ent salary and gives him a greater opportunity
for personal gain.

What The Business Farmer is seriously con-
cerned about is the fact that whenever a man or
institution appears, seeking to solve the
greatest of all the problems of the farmer—that
of marketing—wthey become at once the target
for an attack, which may be aimed from any
strategic point, wheather it bathe ﬁnancial credit
of an institution or the personal character of an
individual but always with the sole object of an-
nihilating the intruder. .

Look at the record of the co-operative selling
organizations which have been fostered in Mich-
igan for the beneﬁt of the farming business. How
many have lived? None, that we know of, which
are old enough to prove that they are a perman—
ent success, strong enough to stand this contin-
ued onslaught. -

And the farmers enemies have found the sure
point of attack.

Destroy faith in the man or the institution and
it crumbles into nothing. During the war we
were taught to call it “propoganda” which is only
a newer name for ‘ﬁlicing gossip.” How easy it is
to start! Likes pebble tossed into the pond, its
waves reach in every direction until they beat
upon the shore. Yet how gullible we all are.
How quick we are to believe the untruth about
the very thing we love or respect.

“My countrya-vright or wrongs—my country!"

That is the answer for the patriot. And that is
the answer for the farmer who believer that there
‘ is a future in the farming business through the em
ganized co-operative marketing of his produce.

roads-appropriation of 191’? It would appear to
have been better practice for any one trunk line
to have been completed by the best known meth-

_ ed before proceeding with the next.

It also occurs to us that with the natural re-
sources presented in certain districts of Michi-
gan where Portland cement factories are in oper-

'ation that the State of Michigan could well have

afforded the purchase of such a site and the man-
ufacturer of its own cement. if it could ‘be done
as- we assume,- at a lower cost than purchasing it
on the competitive market. In our opinion it
would have been possible to use the State, Prison
labor for this purpose to good advantage, and the
State could have had a sufficiently large output
of cement to take care of all of its building activ-
ities, not only of roads but of buildings.

We are not entirely discouraged with the road
building program to date. We do not belive’ that
graft has played a large part in the construction
work, but we do know that much of the
road built has 'éost the State more than it should,
and because we need more highways and must at
the same time lower the tax burden that we are
carrying, a problem is presented which can be
solved-only by greater efﬁciency and a lowered
cost per mile of construction.

The farmers of Michigan were right when they
asked for a gasoline tax. The legislature was
right when it voted the enactment of such a law,

, and the Governor was wrong when he vetoed it,

in the face of this strong ‘endorsment. The gaso-
line tax was a painless method of raising an im-
mense amount of money, and securing a large
part of it from those who are directly using the
highways most. The collection of this tax was
simple so long as no exemptions were made, be-
couse it was to have been made from the dozen
or so importers of gasoline into the State. We
never yet have understood why the gasoline tax
was opposed by the automobile clubs.

Michigan has too many miles of road to be
completed, which are really the “missing links”
in our chain of good roads, for curtailment of the
building program, at this time.

”mo MANY LAWS

' NE of the strangest political tendencies of our
time, is the suddenly increased faith of legis-
lators in the power of laws to enforce them-

selves once they are reduced to writing. No
belief has been so continuously and thoroughly
discredited, yet none is soalarmingly alive. Every
political philosopher from Montaigne’s day to
this hour has recognized that the best govern-
ment is that conducted with the least law and
machinery.

A multitude of evils attend the naive faith of
legislatures in the auto-enforcement capacity of
law as represented for a government on a piece
of paper. One is an inevitable weakening of re-
spect for a government born of a disregard for
its more outlandish aspects. Another is the un-
interrupted encroachment oi government on the
governed. A third and most distressing evil is
the appalling expense attending the creation of
multitudlnous new bureaus and oﬂlce’s provided
for. .

The time may'come when a- candidate pledging
himself to nothing but the repeal of two laws for
every one created will be generally supported.

A name's runner a'r HOWELL

NE of our readers advises us that Howell.
Michigan, offers an excellent location for a
farmers’ market, such as we suggested in the

story of the successful market at Bloomington.
Illinois, in the last issue. We have therefore ap-
pealed to Mayor Fishbeck, the newspapers and
County Agent of Livingston County, to aid in the
establishment of a farmers' market at that city.

Howell has a population, according to the last
census, of approximately 3,000 and has shown
considerable gain in the past three years, because
of the rapid‘progress of several local manufact-
uring institutions. There are one hundred or
more cities the size oi Howell in Michigan which
would be equally justiﬁed in establishing tat-ma
ers’ markets and thus bringing to their cities the
trade and iriendship 'of the tumors tor many
miles around.

It is not necessary temperate a daily market.
A Saturday morning market will serve the pur-
pose in the small city tor some time until it is
toned proﬁtable to open. it on other days. We

.hope that the city or .chell will establish a

market duties the present Busch, and we hope
our readers will. suggest other towns and cities

’ BOVE all things we detest‘a hypocrite. The

cheap politician who plays to the aim. '-

and particularly the man who claims to be
working in the interests of the farmer and who is
only camouflaging, deserves more words of con-
demnation than we have in our vocabulary.
It seems as though the farmer particulary has.
been the innocent recipient of this sort of “help"
during the past two years. ’

If We judge the present frame of the farmerg- -

mind rightly, it is : that all he asks is a square
deal, .that he believes his business is as legiti-
mate, and a little more so, than most other busi-
ness, that he wants a fair price for what he

grows, and demands that those who are telling
most about how they are going to help him go to ‘

work at some other job.

The farmer will work' out his 'own problems
and do it much better than the so-called “leaders
of agricultural thought" if they will just go back
to their jobs, whatever they were, and leave us
alone.

What the farmer has suffered from most is an
over-production of would—be Moses, each pointing
in a different direction to lead the farmer out of

ROAD DANGEBS

1TH the number of automobiles being multi-

. plied daily it is. little wonder that the prob-

lem of traﬂic congestion and. regulation is
spreading into the rural districts.

The accidents from collisions and carelessness
in country towns are much higher in proportion
to the number of cars in operation than those
in our larger cities where the drivers become
accustomed to congestion and have. thier cars.
at all times under control, watching out always .
for the other fellow who may be a “fool driven"-

A: suggestion or two on rural safety-first may ‘
therefore be ﬁtting at the advent of the road
congestion season. First we would urge our
readers not to drive any vehicle on the road at
night without a white lamp showing to the front
and a red light to the rear.
this precaution is risking your life in a manner"
most toolbardy. Many a man or woman who
would die from iright at the idea of walking
over Niagara Falls on a tight rope will drive '
on a country road on a dark night where auto-

. mobile drivers racing at ﬁfty miles per hour

come within the distance of their own headlights 5
before they see the vehicle without a rear ‘ond
light for protection. Accidents from this cause
are most common. g . -

The Michigan Business Farmer

McBAE AGAIN!

In your Saturday’s paper I notice
on page 15 you say “The man who
does business thru the United States
malls must be honest. Uncle Sam
is your attorney without cost when
you have been defrauded thru the
malls.” Now if that’s true, what
can one do about Warren MeRae? I
too sent him $5 and his letter to me

stated the same to others “that he'

would send the prospective buyers to
my farm, and in case these people
do not buy please let me know and I
will keep on sending you buyers un-
til you make a deal. ”

So, I have recently written him to
make good his agreement. he has
had lots of time to send buyers here

and its been a splendid winter. I
also told Mr. McRae that if he didn’t
send us any buyers as per his agree,—

An inventor who could develop an automobile, a railroad car or any

~untry the best American methods
1‘ home canning. They are to spend
-' ee months abroad as the guests of
American Committee for Devast-
ted .France. . .
The girls united at Chicago, Mon-
ay, May 14th. They departed May
_ th for Washington to call on the
{President and the Secretary of ‘Agri-
' ulture. They went from that city
to New York and sailed on May 23
(for France.
. - The girls make an unusual quar-
"‘tet‘of national champions, but .they
well earned their honors. First
"they won their state contests; then,
last fall at the international live-
stock exposition here, when nine
states sent up teams to the ﬁrst na-
tional canning competition, they be-
came champions among 30,000 girls
hailing from every state.

To Spread Club Idea

‘ Beulah Rodgers and Katherine
,,B_elibaugh, who came from Eddy-
}ville, 1a., with a population of be-
tween 900 and 1000, constitute the
Iowa team that won ﬁrst place, and
(their companions on the trip are
Bertha Roger and Elaine Hendricks
of Burlington, 001., who composed
the team qualifying for second prize.
With them goes Esther Belibaugh,
who as local leader has the credit of
training the primier canners of the
country, and who looks no older
than her sister. The heads of the
expedition are Miss Josephine Arn-
quist, agent in charge of girls’ club
work in Iowa, and Miss Maude E.
Sheridan, state club leader in Colo-
rado.

Whatever novel fruits, vegetables
or meats France may offer these
slender girlish tutors, they are un-
' dismayed at the prespect. They
stand ready to can anything that can
be canned by the cold-pack method.
Elaine and Katherine have been can-
ning for seven years, Bertha for six
and Beulah for ﬁve. Demonstrating
proper canning methods is an ‘old
(story with them. These farmers’
daughters are going to France to
work, and they expect to expound
this bit of better home—making
wherever the American committee
, or the Minister of Agriculture may
send them.

Canning is but one phase of the
boys’ and girls’ club work fostered
‘ by the extension departments of the
. state agricultural colleges. Six
hundred thousand boys and girls are
enlisted in this potent agricultural
movement. The girls’ side of it is
devoted to home-making. It trains
,them as it did the prize-winning
girls to take a half bushel of apples
and in an hour turn out something
"like 17 jars of baked apples, apple
1 sauce, sliced apples for pies and ap-
.' ple juice for jelly. It also teaches
these farmers’ daughters bread-mak-
ing, cooking, making of clothing,
f house furnishing and poultry rais-
in . .

ing, forward to two weeks in school

ports that the food question was a
great problem in those days. They
did not have the canned vegetables
and fresh fruit that gave the system
the lime juices that it needed so
much. All these tales of horror
were told of the anaemic, scurvy
bodies that were aboard these ships.
This is just another form of ezcema
only worse and too much cannot be
said about the care of ones bodies in
making it healthy. We all know
how well the animals of the ﬁeld are
taken care of so why not give a little
of this attention to ourselves. It
seems to me that with eating a great
deal of the fresh vegetables and
fruits in summer‘and canning all of
the different kinds for winter use
and with a lot of good drinking wat-
er you will soon erase the trouble at
its source. I cannot help but write you
women. about this, because it is up
to us to watch our table and what is
put upon it for the family. This
spring I received so many letters
asking for a cure for ezcema that I
have reprinted in the personal col-
umn a cure that came to my desk
last spring. It makes me think that
this dreadful disease comes after a
winter of eating the wrong kinds of
food.
KEEPING HOME SWEET

To have harmony in the home—-

1. Think before you speak.

2. Respect others feelings.

3. Don’t nag or ﬁnd fault.

4. Don’t feel superior to your
companion.

5. Do unto him or her as you
would like to be done by.

6. “Ours” should be the home
pronoun.

7. Let there be no boss rule.

8. Keep respect for each other’s
feelings.

9. wDon’t decieve each other.

10. Don’t speak crossly when
your companion is angry or vexed
about something.

A little love and affection will pre-
vent petty quarels. The whole secret
depends on love and respect. Keep
this in mind and you will never dis-
agree nor quarrel.

THE CANNING BUDGET
ET your GOAL before you start
your season’s work. If pos-
sible make it to ﬁt the needs of
your family rather than to achieve
only the actual project requirements
for your age or year of work. We
should all try unselﬁshly to measure

' all home-making projects in terms

of the family rather than the indi-
vidual.

We should plan for at least one
serving of fruits and one serving of
vegetables other than potatoes for
each day of the eight months when
fresh products are not readily avail-
able. -

The budget outlined here, approv-

 

 

ed by the nutrition specialist of the
College, is based upon that principle.
In this chart you will notice that one
column is given overto the needs of
a single person. THIS WILL HELP
YOU SET YOUR'GOAL. It will help
you, too, in planting your garden.

Mothers Problems

 

 

READ FOR THE CHILDREN
LL children love stories. It mat-
ters little to them whether the
story he told to them; all they
ask is that they may hear a story.
Where it is possible, it is ﬁne to set
aside the hour between the evening
meal and bedtime for a story hour,
but in every family, that hour can-
not be taken. Must, then, the child-
ren go without stories? Not neces-
sarily.

There are few mothers and fath-
ers so busy that they cannot snatch
a few minutes each day to glance
though» their favorite magazine, to
dip into a book for a chapter or so,
or to persue the daily paper. All
three of these sources are rich in
story-material for children. Inter-
esting bits of information, thrilling
adventures, glimpses of wild life—-
all these are constantly being “run
across” in reading, and, retold in
language easily understood by the

BEWARE on THE SUGGESTIVE ~
WARNING

KNOW a mother who, as she
I started to leave the house on an
errand to a neighbor’s happen-
ed to remember that children some-
times are guilty of poking beans and
things up their noses with disastrous ,
results. The children had never
heard of nor thought of doing such a
thing, but the mother turned and,
in a few words, cautioned them: .
“Now Bobbie and Katie, whatever
you do, don’t put anything up your :
nose!" The children promised with .;
blank faces, the mother shut the l.
door and hurried across to the ‘
neighbor's house. As soon as she ;
was gone, Katie turned to Bobby:
“What did Mamma mean?" she ask- '1
ed. “1 don’t know,” replied Bobby.
“Come on, let’s do it and see what
happens!” Of. course, they did it,
and, of course, they found out what
happened. The mother, on her re- '1
turn, found two frightened little
children. A hurry call to the doct- .
or was necessary to remove the '
beans lodged in the children’s noses. 5
Had the mother not made that
suggestive warning, the children
would never have thought of trying .
the “stunt." She didn’t understand '
what curious little animals children
are. She didn’t realize how strong "
the power of suggestion is in people,
but especially in children. They are
always wanting to ﬁnd out “what
will happen if.” Therefore, if there
is anything you especially want "
children to avoid doing, be very,
very careful how you word your
warning, and be sure that it does not
take the form of a suggestion.
Explain why to children. If that
mother sometimelwhen the children ’
had been playing with buttons or

some such small articles, had said: “I ~

heard of a little girl oncewho put a
button up her nose and it stuck
there and the doctor had tocOme ,
and take it out. It hurt the little
girl a lot, and I’m sure she never did
such a thing again. It is dangerous
to put things up one’s nose. You’ll >
remember never to do it, won’t f
you?" her children would never
have come to grief as they did. Be- »
ware of the suggestive warning!— ‘;

Dear Friend—Please tell me how to use

Please give recipes for some kind of crui—

also the poem “The Arbutus” I will pay‘

Potato Cakes—Shape cold mashed po-
tatoes in small .cakes, and rolls in ﬂour
Butter hot omelet pan, put in cakes,
brown one side, turn and brown other
side, adding butter as needed to prevent
burning; or pack potatoes in small but-
tered pan as soon as it comes from the

stable, and set aside until ready for use.
Turn from pan, out in pieces, roll in
ﬂour, and cock as potato cakes.

Creamed ~Potatoes—-Reheat two cup of
cold boiled potatoes, cut in dice, in one
and one-half cups white sauce.

White Sauce—ero tablespoons .butter,
two tablespoons ﬂour, one cup milk, one-

“ fourth teaspoon salt, few grains pepper.

Put- butter in pan and stir until melted
and bubbling; add ﬂour mixed with sea-
sonings, and stir until thoroly blended:
then pour on gradually while stirring
constantly the milk, bring to the boiling
point and let boil two minutes. If a
wire whisk is used, all the milk may be
added at once.

Potatoes Au Gratin—Put creamed po-
tatoes in buttered baking dish, cover with
buttered crumbs, and bake on center
grate until crumbs are brown.

Delmonico Potatoes—To potatoes au
gratin add one third cup grated mild
cheese, arranging potatoes and cheese in
alternate layers before covering with
crumbs. ' , '

Cruuers—One-fourth cup butter, one
cup sugar, yolks two eggs, whites two
eggs, four cups flour, one—fourth tea-7
spoon grated nutmeg; three and one-half
teaspoons baking powder, one cup milk,
powdered sugar and cinnamon.

Cream butter and add sugar gradually,
yolks of eggs well beaten. and whites of
eggs beaten stiﬂ. Mix ﬂour, nutmeg,
and baking powder; add alternately with
toss on ﬂoured
board, roll thin, and out in pieces three
inches long by two inches wide. Make
four one—inch parallel gashes crosswise
at equal intervals. Take up Jny running
ﬁnger in and out of gashes, and lower
into hot deep fat and fry.

Flys Kept away from the Baby—I
would suggest that if the baby is out
doors and sleeping use cheese cloth or
mosquito netting by. putting a stick up
the front and back of the crib or basket
and throw the netting over it. Try and
keep the ﬁles out of the house entirely.
Remove all food as soon. as the meals
are over as this attracts them, and put
garbage as far away from the house as
possible. If the baby is kept sweet and
clean, I cannot see why the ﬂy will be
with themany more than the grown-ups.
The ﬂy is our worst enemy and too much
cannot be said about the disease they
carry into our homes. They breed around
the barn and it pays to ﬁght them every
day. ' , ‘

A Cure for Salt Rheum—3 tablespoons
of sulphur; 2 tablespoons of cream of
tartar; 1 tablespoon of nitrate of potash
Mix, and at night put
1 teaspoon of this mixture in a little
milk, water or syrup and drink.

Use this Wash for the Affected Parts—-
8 tablespoons epsom salts, 1 teaspoon of
carbolic acid in one quart of water, boil
ii minutes and use by washing the spots
aﬂt‘ected. .

cumbers, some sweet corn. some onions,
radishes, carrots, and beets. I sold all
I could spare and could have sold more

‘ so this year I am putting in more. There

is never much trade in the forenoon but

lots in the afternoon and evening. Some

days I would Sell six or seven dollars
worth in a few hours. There are quite
a few wild berries near here and they
always sell geod, then I always raise
quite a. few chickens. They always grow
fast and bring better than a dollar apiece
in the fall. I am also enclosing some
of my, recipes that I know. to be good.

To “A SUBSCRIBER" ,

It seems to me you have condemnation
in your heart for your husband which
needs be eliminated. “Neither do Icon-
demn thee" were the Omnipotent words
you know. Its keeping a man down when
he’s down. ' ‘

Its the beautiful uplifting thoughts he
needs.

Search out his true and redeeming
qualities and hold him to this incessantly
every moment your thought is with him,
and you will ﬁnd your self far happier,
and your unsatiaible desire will cause you
to forget yourself and life will take on
an added charm. Only Love, (not con-
demnation) can ‘awaken him. “Love
never .faileth.”

This error is not unlike any other, is
not surmounrtable, and the thing that
now appears ﬁxed, will detach itself lik‘e
ripe fruit and fall. ,

' This is both ethical and practical.
When husband is away remember with—
Emerson, Thou art not gone being gone,

Where e’er thou art,

Thou Ieav’st in him thy watchful eyes,

,In him thy loving heart.

When husband returns home, forget
all appearances of evil and see the per-
fect man, and let the real of you, the
Truth of you, shine forth in all its ef-
fuigent beauty, and you will~attract unto
yourself your mate as of yore, when boy
and girl together.—L. Baker.

 

Wild Hairs—Will you please ask the
people if any one can tell how to get rid
of wild hairs in ones eyes. I am nearly
blind with them and if some kind friend
will tell you so that you can put the
remedy in your paper I will be thank-
ful.-——G. C.

 

About Sale of .Rabbits—I saw by your
paper lots of things of beneﬁt to all,
also Mrs. E. W. B. that wanted to know
about selling rabbits, etc., back to the
companies in New York and Kansas City,
Missouri.

I will say We bought two pairs of rab-
bits of the Standard Food and Fur Asso-
ciation of New York a few years ago and
they were $7.00 apiece and they were to
buy back all that we raised. So we
raised some and after awhile they bought
one pair for $7.00 and were to pay us
as per contract and said they would buy
the rest if I would let them know how
many I had so I did and they said they
were not ready to receive them. I wrote
different times and also only recieved
$6.00 for the pair sent them. They were
better stock than we received but they
claimed they were under weight and I
had a. time to get‘ the money from them.
They are just frauds to our opinion.
They ﬁgure on selling. stock to you for a
big price and get out of buying yours
back. I have been waiting to advertise
them to folks so they will not be fooled
by them.—A Subscriber.

 

Cement for Mending Broken Chinoo—
Stir plaster of Paris into a thick solu—
tion of Gum Arabic until it becomes a
viscous paste. Apply it to the fractured
edge and draw parts closely together.—

 

_To Remove Rust Stain—~Make a paste
of cream of tartar and water, cover the
spot and hang the article in the sun,
when dry brush off, repeat this until the
spot is removed.

 

A Rose to the Living—I am sending a
verse to you, a favorite of mine taken
from “American Motherhood" published
about 1915 or 1916.

“A rose to the living is more

Than sum-ptous wreaths to the dead:

In‘ﬁlling love’s inﬁnite store,

A rose to? the living is more,

If graciously given before

The hungering spirit is ﬂed—

A rose to the living is more

Than sumptous wreaths to the dead."
Mrs. Paxton.

 

Would like to hear from readers who
would like crooheting done. -Will accept
cash or anything useful for myself or
family—Box 18, Turner, Michigan.

”Dear Uncle Ned—7A3 I u' my let-

'again. - I’ have bind-eyes, medium
brown hotbed Entire“ on light
complexion“. I passed the eighth
grade when? I was ﬂteen.- I out not
going to school this year. I have
given up going to high school. I! live
on a (loo-acre farm. _'0f course you
., can’t term it all. We farm some of
.- it and the rest we pasture for (mittle
and horses. The back part of the
place is too hilly to terms.,There are
quite _big hills, but not so big but
that I have been on top of them.
There are blackberries, raspberries
and gooseherries in the pasture.

the fire ran thru- and burned them
, all up. There is some strawberries,
too, but they are tame. I just like
to ”pick straWberrl-es so I can eat’
them. Don’t you, Uncle Ned? I
like to pick the wild ones, too. We
have quite a lot of fun picking Wild
berries as we have a large place to
ramble OVel‘. There are some cherry,
plum and apple trees on this place.
There used to be peach trees but
they all froze. It is too cold here
for peach trees. I think Stella Vio-
let Nowak had a long interesting let-
ter in feet week’s M. B. F. It has
been rainini today. We had a
snow storm ‘ere last week. In same
places a» foot of snow fell. We have
. been having: Quite nice weather only
the Wind is quite cool. It is awml
cold at night. It Eds’been so cbld
that the crops don’t grow any. ere
aren't many crops Moshe here. We
have our garden, onions and sweet
corn in and have a ﬁeld nearly Val-
\ ready to plant to early potatoes. We
are going to put in some buckwheat,
beans, ﬁeld Corn and .late potatdes.
I would like to correspond with some

will send me some patterns I Will

CARE OF DAY-OLD CHICKS
care for day-old chicks brought from
a. hatchery? . What shall I' feed
them? Will you please give me a
good feeding formula that will bring
them up to the broiler stage the
quickest. How shall I care for' a
ﬂock of hens to make them lay? Is
it better to have the ﬂock shut up’ in
a chicken yard or to have them run
at large? Which induces the great-
er egg production? Is grit good for
little chicks? ‘ How about oat meal?

»-—Mrs. D.- W. J., Fowlerville, Mich.

It is important that limited and
retarded early feeding be practiced.
Practically all chicks sent to the Col-
lege so far this year, for postmort-
em examination have shown unab—
sorbed yolks. The yolk that the
chick absorbs just prior to hatching
is sufﬁcient food for seventy two
hours. It is generally a good prac—
tice to leave the chicks in the in-
cubator for twenty-four hours after
the hatch is completed. The second
day after the completion of the
hatch the chicks are removed, to the
brooder house that has been prepar-
ed and ready for them. A coal burn-
ing brooder is the most satisfactory
because of the surplus heat that is
necessary for hatching at this sea-
son of the year and the additional
factor of safety. ‘ The brooder then
should be so regulated that the ther—
mometer reads 90 degrees at the
outer edge of the deflector.

Sand usually makes a good cover—
ing for a board or cement ﬂoor, in
addition to providing gritty material
that is necessary in getting the di-
gestive tract in working condition.
The second day after the hatch is
completed the chicks should receive
some skim milk. This should not
be fed in galvanized dishes because

~

released. It should be fed only in
glass, earthenware, or wooden
dishes.

On the third day the chicks should
receive their ﬁrst feed. This con-
sists of one raw egg mixed with two
handfuls of bran and three. of rolled
oats. The raw egg is a natural food
there fore no dietarw disturbances
should result. The bran is highly
laxative and high in mineral matter
and the rolled oats are very nutri-
tional. This mixture could be given

vals of two and a half hours.

From the fourth to the’fourteenth
day three of the egg mixture, two of
commercial chick feed, and one feed—
ing of green food should be given.
After the fourteenth day the chicks
can be placed on commercial chick
food and buttermilk meshes, leaving
it before them at all times. Chick
feed can be given in the morning
and at night and green food at noon.

For the laying ﬂock I would sug-
gest following the standard two
ounces of scratch feed per bird daily,
containing equal parts of cracked
corn and Wheat. The dry mash
should be available at all times con-
taining equal parts by weight of
bran, middlings, corn meal, ground
oats and meat scrap. By regulating
the amount of scratch feed given the
hens will consume approximately
two ounces of mash, thereby balanc-
ing the ration. This ration is used
by all laying contests and experi-
ment stations and has been proven
more economical than the commerci-
al mashes. The ﬂock can be conﬁn-
ed if plenty of green food is supplied
daily, otherwise they should be per-
mitted free range. A slightly high‘-
or production can be secured under
conﬁnement if the birds are properly
fed—E. C. Foreman, Associate
Prof. of Poultry Husbandry, M. A. C.

-. elation .has i at ﬁnished
its ﬁrst four months :of testing
in its second year and some

gratifying results have been obtain-
ed. The work for the, second year

was started January 23, 1923,, and

at the time there were twenty-seven
members, with an addition of two
shortly after, which more than com-
plete the number required. ,

The very ﬁrst .month, twenty—sev-
en of these members agreed to weigh
each cow’s milk separately and keep
a daily record of each cow’s milk
production, giving them a much
more accurate record than if only an
average of the one day that the test-
er visits the farm is taken for the
entire month. Also greater pains
were taken in feeding according to
production and this, with the daily
check up on each cow, is responsible
for the wonderful showings some of
these cows have made.

There are about 380 cows being
tested each month in this association
and of this number about 85 percent
are pure bred Holsteins and the rest
are grade Holsteins with the excep-
tion of one splendid pure bred Jer-
sey herd. Every member has a pure
bred sire at the head of their herd,

and at the present time a County'

Bull Aesociation is being organized.

The average per cow for the four
months of this year is 33.43 lbs.
butter fat per month. The highest
herd average for this time for butter
fat was 53.99 lbs. High cow hon-
ors go to Eamonon’s Butter Maidie,
a pure bred Jersey cow, in the Smith
and Parker herd, having 339.50 but-
ter fat with a feed cost of $36.04 in
120 successive days. A pure bred
Holstein owned by C. S. Heeg & Son,

' made a record of 270.09 butter fat

in 90 days, with a feeding cost of
$28.34. ’

Another interesting feature is the
record of Bessie Beauty Walker, a
cow owned by J. B. Tooley. In the
month of March she producted over
2,000 lbs. of milk and 82.64 lbs. of
butter fat. Her daughter, Bessie
Kalmuck, a Junior three-year—old,
made over 2,000 lbs. milk and 90.24
lbs. butter fat in the same month,
after completing a seven day record
of 501 lbs. milk and 25.04 lbs. but-
ter fat. The registered herd owned
by Merle Crandell brought him $122
above cost of feed per cow, which
we consider very good for a herd of
ﬁfteen head.

The average production per cow
in the United States is 3,527 lbs. of
milk. The average per cow in 120
cow testing association in the United
States is 6,077 lbs. of milk, which is
double the amount of a cow not in
the association.

Michigan is just awakening to the
fact that better dairying is absolute—
ly essential to bigger proﬁts and bet-
ter living conditions in- this state.
The last ofﬁcial reports show that
Netherland leads the world in milk
production with 7585 lbs. per cow.
Denmark is second with 6,950 lbs.
and Switzerland 3. third with 5,666
lbs. milk per cow. These facts
plainly show that Michigan has not
yet reached the highest of its abil-
ity in dairying, but with the present
good prospects we expect to be one
of the leading dairy communities in
the World—Yours for better Feed—
ing, Breeding and Weeding. Carl

Maladjustment in prices if persisted in, brings cessation in demand, causing
a slackening in busines which may devel0p into depression. It is clear that the
construction industry has been getting out of hand. Compared with a year ago
building material prices are 31 per cent higher and metal and metal products
prices 36 per cent higher. Farm prices for the same period show a gain of

it is‘ fortunate, therefore, that thg brakes have now been applied for the

The more substantiallthe, adjustment, if not so extreme as to constitute a deer
sion, the longer the continuance. .

~

'LABOR', RAILROADS AND BANKING: ’
The biggest obstacles to proper adjustment lie in the labor and railroad
situations. In the one case there are advancing wages and a tendency to decreas-

ing productivity per man.

In the other, there is little likelihood of immediate .

reduction in rates and always a possibility of congestion.
' The most stabilizing inﬂuence is the favorable money and banking situation.
In summary, it may be said that recent events which have emphasized the
need of caution and have led to some curtailment of production will correct to
a degree the labor situation and should make.more possible the expansion of
needed railroad facilities at lower costs. Adding to this the banking position
as a'positive constructive factor, it is difﬁcult to belieVe that another business

depression is now starting.

PROSPERITY INCOMPLETE:

Agriculture can hardly talk about prosperity as long as the price relation-
ships remain so unfavorable to it. Even with the third largest crop in 1922, the
position of the farmer in purchasing power, in terms of volume multiplied by
price, is only three-fourths of pre-war. With both agricultural and industrial
output at high levels, this means that the industrial groups are receiving the
larger shares of the total stock of goods produced. The quickest way to change
this is for farmers to shift to the other groups. This they are doing as shown
by the reports of a net loss from farms during 1922 of 1,120,000 persons, 3.6
per cent of the agricultural population at the beginning of the year.

Fem-es MARKET LETTER,

BY W. W. FOOTE

WROVED FARMING CONDI-
‘ , TIONB '

HE mail order ﬁrms report much
increased sales to farmers, but
smaller sales of farm imple-

ments have been made than normal,
although they exceed those made a
year ago. Accepting the mail order

' business as one of the traditional

barometers of business, good times
are coming. Railroads are crowded
with freight, and leading lines are
getting ready to expend vast sums
for much needed equipment.

Farm Women Combining

There was a conference in Chicago
last week of farm women from ﬂi-
teen states with reference to co-oper-
ation in marketing their eggs. Grad-
ing and packing were discussed, and
it was planned to establish state egg
selling exchanges in the different
states. It was pointed out that pro-
ducers must look after the storing of
eggs in the flush season and carry
them over to the winter season.

' Claims were made that the pooling

plan would save consumers from
ﬁve to ten cents a dozen and cause
triple proﬁts for the owners of the
hens.
The GrainMarkets

There has been a marked falling

off in speculation in grain on the
Chicago Board of Trade since the
recent federal legislation controlling
speculative trading, and this is at-
tributed by leading speculators to
the new law. This is brought for-
ward as one of the principal reasons
why wheat prices have failed to
move up in response to a number of
bullish inﬂuences, recent prices hav—
ing been much lower than a year
ago and far below those paid two
years ago. The exports of bread-
stuifs have been much smaller than
early this year, and recent exports of
corn, oats and rye show marked re-
ductions from those of a year ago.
Corn is in a strong position, howev-
er, with materially lessened market-
ings by farmers and much smaller
stocks in sight than a year ago. The
same is true of oats, but the visable
rye supply is much larger than at
this time in 1922. Rye has been sell-
ing so much below corn prices that
several cars were shipped from Chi-
cago to Indiana recently to be
ground up into feed for hogs. The

; agricultural department announces
' that the increased American produc-

tion of rye comes at a time when re-
sumption of normal conditions in
central and eastern Europe‘and the
stabilizing of prices in Europe
point to a time when much of the
hitherto large foreign demand for
American rye will cease. This would
undoubtedly bring about Iowa rye
Rye has been selling far
ago for many
weeks, and recent sales were made
at the loWest prices of the year, go-

. ing of! over ﬁve cents a bushel in a

single week. On the same day May
corn advanced 6% cents. Sales of
July wheat are made in the Chicago
market around $1.10, comparing
with $1.18% a year ago; July corn
at 79 cents, comparing with ,62 cents
last year; July oats at 41 cents,
comparing with 99% cents a year

g Good Proﬁts From Cattle

In the issue of this paper of May
12, it was stated that better prices
At that
time only a few prime steers were
selling as high as $10.25, the bulk
of the steers going at $8 to $10.
There has been a marked improve-
ment since then, and the advance
has been much quicker than was ex—
pected. Prosperity makes larger
call for the ',higher-_priced cuts of
beef, and this means much larger
premiums paid for choice corn-fed
steers and heifers. Other kinds of
cattle have shared in the rise, how-

, ever, and prices have ruled far high-

er than one and two years ago, the

market being much better than was ,-

expected a month or so ago. Top-

i‘notchjershave sold for 8-11 per 100
r-pounds, these being long-fed heavy,
steers, and prime yearlings sold up ,

to $10.85, the better demand center-
ing on heavy steers. One of the farm-
ers who made, an especially good
showing on the Chicago market
was Lee Wadleigh of Iroquois
County, Illinois, who was so fortun-
ate as to sell 112 head of prime fat
steers, with weights running from
1417 to 1659 pounds at $10.65 to
$10.95. These cattle were bought

as feeders in the Chicago market

last October, when they averaged in
weight 1042 pounds and cost $7.68.
The margin of proﬁt was $3.19, with
a gain of about 500 pounds in
weight. They were bred on the
Bartlett—Frazier ranch‘ in New Mex-
ico. It is noteworthy that recent
substantial advances in prices have
taken place in the face of very large
receipts of, cattle. The week was
broken by the Memorial Day holi—
day, and there was an advance on
the following day, with the top. as
high as any day since January, and
the general average the highest
since last October. On the other
hand, the many ordinary cattle sold
lower, and there has been a marked
decline in prices for butcher cows
and heifers. Top beeves at $11

stood $1.65 above the high point of-
, May last year.

Recent sales were
made in the Chicago market of the
better class of steers at $10 to $11,
the greater part of the steers going
at $8.50 to $11.85 and down to $7.-
50 to $8 for the commoner lots.
Grassy cattle are arriving, and the
range of prices is widening out, with
most of the light weight steers 50 to
75 cents loWer than a week ago.
Stockers and feeders of desirable
quality bring $7.50 to $8.85. A year
ago the best beef steers~ brought
$9.25.
Hogs Markctcd’ Rapidly

According to all accounts from
farming districts, plenty of hogs are
left, and these reports are conﬁrmed
by the greatly increased marketings
in western markets over those of a
year ago. On Monday last week
Chicago received 74,491 hogs, the
largest number ever marketed in a
May day, and this started another
downward mOVement in prices, hogs
accumulating rapidly from day to
day in the stock yards, as many
thousands were carried dyer unsold
daily. Sales Were made far below
prices of one and two years ago, and
it cannot be said that there is a very
bright promise for a change in the
market trend of prices. Eastern
shippers are fair buyers, and this
helps prices some, but continuous
reduced receipts are necessary to
bring about better prices. The ex-

tremely large consumption of lard ’

in this country, and abroad makes a.
big demand for heavy hogs, and the
best heavy butcher lots have been
selling nearly as high as the highest
priced light weights. At the same
time it will not pay owners to hold
their hogs after they reach maturity,
and buyers are not particularly an-

xious to buy hogs weighing over 250 -

pounds._ Our experts of lard and
cured hog meats are all the time far
larger than a year ago, and lard ex-
ports from North America for ten
months of the ﬁscal year ending with
April aggregated 794, 8 3 7 , 4 7 6
pounds. The largest shipments to
foreign countries for a full year-
were 868,942,000 pounds in 1921,
Late sales Were made of hogs on the

.. market at $6 to $7.40, comparing

with $8.85 to $10.70 a year ago.
Marketing Spring Lambs
Increasing receipts of spring lambs
from California and the middle west
in the Chicago Stack Yards. have
caused his reductions in prices from
those paid at the ,start.

continue scarce, but they have weal:-
ened in values, and heavy ewes are
almost unsalable. There is an act-
ive demand for feeders in the Chi~
cage market, and good sized lots
have gone to the country, Californ-
ia .feeding lambs fetching $12.50,
while California killing lambs
brought $15.50 to $15.76. Clipped
yearling wethers have gone out to
feeding , districts costing $11.25.
Quite a number of good sized ship-
ments of. California feeder spring

lambs averaging arOund 60 pounds

have been sent to Michigan.

 

_ WHEAT

The Detroit wheat market has had
a weak time of it during the past
couple of weeks. The ﬁrst Week
prices did not change to any extent
but last week declines totaled 3%
cents. The weakness of the market
during the forepart of last Week
Was hard to understand as the out-
look seemed to show that the 'new
crap was in bad condition and the
country apparently was confrented
with a shortage of supplies. Many
thought it was smallness of export
demand that was causing it; how-
ever, ever the holiday export busi-

ness became good but this had no '

effect on the trend of prices. To-

,Ward the close of the week the mar-

ket developed still more weakness,
owing to estimates by leading crop
exports that placed the 1923 yield
above all dealers’ expectations. Ex-
port demand also showed a decline
at the close of the.week. Although
there are many bearish features in
the market right. at the present time,
the belief is general on the market
that this grain is in a ﬁrmer position
than it has been for several weeks.

~ CORN
‘ The general tendency of corn was
to follow the trend of wheat, but
price changes were less frequent._
There were several attempts by deal-

were plentiful enough to cause sell-
ers to rush for cover. Demand as
a whole is only fair while receipts
are small to nothing. The Detroit
market is %c higher than it was
two weeks ago.

from.“ Kiddsnxh that the presi-
dent had never seen, 'and resented
still more asking Dr J’ridsv about
any question only to have him turn
to Miss Middaugh to ask about it
before replying.
\ Michigan farmers have been un-
decided as to what attitude to take
toward Dr. Friday. He has outlined
a program which is fundamentally
sound in so tar as It goes, no doubt,
but he has stopped short just where
most farmers are convinced he
should begin—with the promotion of
(ac-operative marketing and reduc-
tion of the spread between the price
received by the producer and that
paid in the consumer, so that the
former might receive more than
about 33 cents of the consumer's
dollar.

Speee hes made by President Fri-
day at mealtime and at the Michigan
State Grange ct Kalamazoo lost him
many former friends and were a. keen
disappointment to may who were
hoping that Dr. Friday would prove
to be the Moses who would lead the

farmers of Michigan out o! the des- ,

crt of economic depression and into
the promised land at economic sat-
istactlon.

Fear that plans favored by Dr.
Friday and Governor Groesbeck rel-
ative to the control of the Extension
Division of the college and the
county agent system would render
the extension work a polical foot-
ball and entangle it in the meshes
of a political machine probably was
one of the factors actuating the
Board in its dicision to come to the
parting of the ways with President
Friday.

Friday is gone, but M. A. C. re-
mains. The master hand of Dean
Robert S. Shaw is at the helm guid-
ing that splendid institution through
the troubled waters until a perman-
ent president is selected. The State
Board of Agriculture is still the gov—
erning body. The advice of Govern-
or Greenback has for once been dis-
recnrded. Perhaps anyway this cent-
ralisation of state government has
gone tar enough and the people’s
elected representatives charged with
a speciﬁc duty should go ahead and
carry out as their wisdom and con-
science dictates with the full assur-
ance that they will haVe the moral
