When they found their

problems for the Michigan Fruit
Growers, Inc.

Officers of the Exchange are: Pres-
ident, James Nicol. South Haven;
vice—president, M. D. Buskirk, Paw
Paw; secretary and treasurer, F. L.
Bradford. The ofﬁcers and Henry
Weltman, Stevensville, and Herbert
Nafzinger, Millsburg, constitute the
executive committee.

Mr. JamesNicol, former head of
the Michigan State Farm Bureau ex-

‘ pressed himself as very enthusiastic

over the new organization.
To Fight Competitors

“We found it necessary to organ-
ize,” said Mr. Nichol, “because there
are problems with which we cannot
deal through the national organiza-
tion. We shall continue to make
use of the national organization
wherever our interests are identical
with those of other sections of the
country. We are Willing to agree
with the national marketing agencies
not to dump our products into mar-
kets already supplied, or we are will-
ing to accept aid in promoting the
interests of our industry in a nation-
al Way, such as by advertising or in
the opening up of new marketing
areas. .

“But We have problems which we
cannot expect the national organi-
zation to help us in. We cannot
hope that the national organization
will take sides with us in sectional
questions, for it is the function —of
such an organization to represent
the industry as a whole.

“But the Michigan fruit growers,
having come into' the markets more
Elegantly, ﬁnd that the fruit growing

' lots which have long been or-
ganized have things pretty much
their own way.

Total Assets $16,200,000
The total of the General Fund as-

sets is $16,200,000. The liabilities
of the General Fund are about $10,-
000,000, the largest item being be-
tween !6,000,000 and $7,000,000 of
legislative appropriations made in
1921 but not paid out.

“The utmost of our energy will be
exerted to improve the quality of the
Michigan fruit output. In this re-
' spect Michigan is at a disadvantage
as compared with such highly or-
ganized fruit—shipping districts as
California and Florida. Those states
ship only their best fruit. They can
not afford to let poor stuff go to mar-
ket. In consequence of their sys-
tems of grading the quality of their
output is always uniform, and the
reputation of their product is estab—
lished in every market.

“We want Michigan fruit to be as
favorably known wherever it is offer-
ed for sale, and the only way to at—
tain this is to grade the output and
offer only articles of approved stand-
ards.

Not Against Retailers

“It is no part of our plan to cur-
tail production or to increase prices
to the consumers, or to do away with
retailers. We recognize that the
men engaged in retail trade perform
a valuable service. We want to in—
crease the demand for our products
by making them more desirable, for
that is the only effective way to
build business.”

The fruit growers already have
taken an advanced step toward im—
proving the condition of their prod—
nets on the market by establishing
Dre—cooling stations. These are
plants having cold storage equip—
ment in which the fruits are chilled
and reduced to the proper moisture
content before packing in refrigerat-
or cars. It is said that fruit so treat—
ed can be marketed in perfect condi—
tion anywhere in the country. The
fruit growers’ exchange now has
four of these stations in the fruit
belt and expects to increase the num-
ber perhaps to 20 01‘ more.

Associations which ratiﬁed the by—
laws of the Exchange are located at
the following shipping points: St.
Joseph, Stevensville, Bridgeman,
Millsburg, Sodus, Lawrence, Bangor.
Fennville, South Haven, Paw Paw.
Decatur, Grand Haven, Hart, Shelby.
Onekama, Kibbie, Grand Rapids,
Saugetuck and Benzonia. Delegates

from the Byron Center and Coloma
associations were present but lacked
home authority to vote. Associa-
tions at Sawyer, Hartford, Fremont,
Brunswick, Scottville, Dowagiac and
Frankfort, are expected to afﬁliate
with the EXchange later in the sea-
son.

Don’t Worry About Money, Michigan Has $10,000,000, Says F ullcr

Commissioner George Lord, of the

tax board—the equalization board is
composed of the three tax commis—
sioners, Commissioner L. Whitney
Watkins, of the State Department of
Agruculture, and Auditor-General
Oramel B. Fuller—being a resident
of Detroit, has been given the work
of looking after Wayne County’s
valuation. All of the 83 counties
are grouped in three lots with one
tax commissioner looking after val—
nation's in each group.

A table compiled by Commissioner

Lord shows that of the $5,622,913.-
389 assessed valuations reported this
year by the 83 counties, about 80 per
cent is real property and 20 per cent
personal, the exact ﬁgures being;

Real, $4,490,284,601; personal, $1.-
132,628,788. Last year the SLate'
was equalized at $5,000,000,000. ’

HE. Dairymen’s League Cooperat-
ive Association, Inc., has just
., cempleted its second successful
 year as a commercial organization.
We, who are,managing your af-
“fairs are conscious of the great
handicap under which you men are
laboring. We know that there has
never been a time in the history of
this country when the purchasing
power of farm products, including
milk, was as low as it has been for
the past few years. This condition
has been with us so long that our
patience is very apt to give way. We
are worried about our 'investments
.and our future and those who have
been most progressive are the hard-
est hit. For many, many years farm-
ing including dairying, has been ex-
tremel discouraging and for two gen-
erations we have watched the boys
and girls leave the farm because of
the many unattractive conditions. I
say unattractive when compared _to
'the more attractive environment of
the cities, for the cities have taken
the best youth in the land and have.
prospered. Why? Because they
have had the beneﬁt of the wonder-
fully fertile farms of America and
the low prices which the consumers
have paid for farm products. City
groups have ‘ organized, country
groups have tried to work as individ-
uals. We cannot help but observe
our great disadvantage.

These are all facts which you
haVe known. You all know we have
hit bottom, therefore, I could have
easily passed them over, but I be-
lieve it is better for us to face the
facts, ﬁrm in the conviction that the
way we are following leads to the
only logical solution of our economic
problem.

Look Into the Future

The turn of the tide is here, so
let us look for a moment into the
future. Although during the past
two years we have been burdened

' with a great milk surplus, which has
brought about ruinously low prices,
it is perfettly evident that right now
we have one of the most active milk
markets that we have knowu since
the war. At the same time every
other business is prosperous. Our
slogan “Cost of production plus a
reasonable proﬁt” is now within the
realm of possibility, and I ask this
question, “Why are we not getting

Why? Because some farmers still
believe in going out alone or in com-
peting groups.

Review Progress

Your organization has proceeded
along lines always progressive, and
at the same time conservative,——con-
servative in that it still refuses to
plunge into new and untried ﬁelds
without careful consideration and
preparation.

The adoption of a ﬁxed marketing
program is decidedly a progressive
move. FIRST came the development
and expansion of our ﬂuid business.
New plants have been built, or ac-
quired, plants have been improved
and put under the New York Board
of Health. A year ago we had only
400 cans of direct ﬂuid trade, while
today we have over 8,000, and of
this only 2,000 were obtained by
purchase. On June 13th, this reach—
ed a new high level, when our own
plants shipped into New York City
10,257 cans of milk and 110 cans of
cream.

SECOND, the development and ex-
pansion of our evaporated milk bris-
iness. During the past year our
plants have been brought up to the
highest point of efficiency in produc-
tion and sanitation with greatly in-
creased capacity. Our policy is to
turn out the best evaporated milk
in the world. It was upon this plan,

permanently ﬁxed in'our minds that
our new selling and advertising cam-
paign was based, putting Dairylea
milk on the same price level with
other leading advertised brands of
evaporated milk.

Fluid Milk First, Evaporated Second
We ‘have selected these two lines

of production in which your associa-

tion has a distinct competitive ad-
Vantage. Fiuld milk always ﬁrst,
and evaporated milk second. This
does not mean th’at‘ future changes
in marketing conditions may not lead
us into other endeavors. For this
coming year, however, our whole ef-
forts are being thrown into selling
these two leading products.

In having these great evaporating
plants, our farmers are kept con-
stantly under the New York Board of
Health supervision and a great vol-
ume of class one milk is available
for shipment on a moment’s notice
and at times, when it is. not needed
for ﬂuid consumption, we are divert-
ing this high grade product, not into
butter and cheese, but into the much
more proﬁtable by—prod'uct, evapor—
ated milk. In the selection of the
new trade name “Dairylea,” we have
a diﬁerent idea with but little
change. This name is unique, and
all our oWn.

Subject to Attack

During the past year, cooperative
associations have been subject to at-

v Expert Explains What is Happening in the Sugar Market

By SIMON G. PALMER, Sugar Statistician, Washington, D. C.

HE recent spectacular rise in the
price of sugar, the second with-
" in the past three years has at-
'tracted universal attention and con—
demnation. Responsibility for such
perpendicular market movements us-
ually is traceable to the parties who
have most to gain'by them. Nor-
mally, all of our sugar comes from
two sources; domestic, including
beet, Louisiana cane and insular, and
foreign sugar from Cuba. Inasmuch
as the domestic crop had all been
harvested and most of it marketed
befOre the rise came, most of the
domestic producers had nothing to
gain, however high prices might go.
The reverse of this condition existed
in Cuba, which had just started
grinding a crop estimated at about
4,000,000 long tons, of which only
343,663 tons had been made and ex—
ported. when the rise began.
From late in December and all
- through the ﬁrst three weeks of
January while domestic beet sugars
were being marketed the N. Y. price
of imported raws and of reﬁned
imade from them was falling, the
total amounting to 1%;c per pound.
All of a sudden the price of both
. raw and reﬁned shot upward, raws
,advancing‘ $3.19 and reﬁned $3.33
per hundred. 1 I
One of the reasons which our sea-
board reﬁners assign for the rise is
that the tariff on sugar was increased
ate last year. _
“the steady decline which preceded
' "'is'e,fnor do they explain how an
asset duty of sixteen one—hun-
Vth's, of one cent per pound could

 Hr" hundred in the price of

  

  
 

They do not allude: '

  
  

board reﬁners is that one of the four
leading sugar statisticians of Cuba
reduced his earlier estimate of the
Cuban crop now being harvested to
3, 670, 000 long tons. ‘The three
other statisticians adhere to their
estimates of 3, 725,000; 4,000,000
and 4,119,000 long tons, respectively.
It is worthy of note that during all
this sugar shortage excitement, VVil—
lett & Gray our most reliable sugar
crop statisticians have not reduced
their Ouban crop estimate of 4.000,-
000 tons and on the world crop, their
latest ﬁgures show an increase of
513,182 tons over‘last year‘s crop.

It thus would appear that both rea-
sons given are mere camouﬂage, used
for the purpose of fooling the Ameri-
can people.

Present Price and Production Cost

Nor does it appear that the present
high price of sugar bears any rela-
tion to the cost of' production. At
the time the sensational perpendicu-
lar rise began, Cuban sugar was sell—
ing at prices more than one-third
higher than the average price Cuba
had received for her sugar for 10
years prior to the war and hence it
is to be assumed that her producers

was, appraised at. $10.25

  

  

experiments ‘ '

 

already were making a handsome

proﬁt. Sugar has gone up consider-

ably over 3c per pound and since

the rise set in Cuba has exported

2,108,000 tons, on which a rise of

30 would net her producers an extra

proﬁt of $126,000,000. But, this is

only beginning. On May 19, the

port warehouses of Cuba were bulg-*
ing with 812,000 tons of sugars, on

which 30 a pound represents an ex—

tra proﬁt of over $49,000,000. In -
addition to this, on May 19 there

were 532,000 tons of manufactured

sugar at plantations .and in transit

to shipping ports, on which an extra

proﬁt of 30 per pound means an ad-

ditional $32,000,000. '
this, based on the lowest crop esti~

mate yet made by any sugar statis-

tician, they will produce another

248,000 tons before they cease

grinding, on which an extra 3c per

pound will yield them still another

$15,000,000. So that altogether,

the 3c rise wii‘l have cest the Ameri-

can people the enormous sum‘ of

$222,000,000 and will have addeda

like, sum to the net proﬁts of pro-

ducers of sugar in Cuba.

Itlis not to be assumed however, ..
that this $222,000,000 of extra proﬁt
bled from the American people goes
to enrich the people of the Island
of Cuba, for the Cuban sugar in-
dustry is no longer Cuban. Ever

1 Will you please tell me a reliable

—-—I believe that you could market
this through the wool pool of the
State Farm Bureau to excellent ad-
vantage. The Secretary of the
American Angora Goat Breeders'
Association is C. E. DeGoif, Reed
Springs, Missouri, and he could no
doubt give you valuable information
as to mills which are purchasing mo—

hair. The value of mohair per
pound varies a great deal, even
more than sheep’s wool. Where one

takes excellent care of his goats and
produces a ﬁrst class quality of mo—
hair, it brings a higher price per
pound. On the other hand, where
the goats are not well cared for and
properly handled, it is worth very
little more than wool.———Geo. A.

TAXIN G CATTLE

On the 7th day of May of this

year I had 300 steers shipped here
to graze. Will sell and ship them
out this fall. Will I be compelled
to pay taxes on them here? At that
late date would they not be assessed
where I bought them, near Bad Axe,
Michigan? How long would cattle
have to be in a township before they
can be assessedT—J. Gaylord,
Michigan.
——Uuder the provisions of. the Tax
Law of the State of Michigan, it is
presumed that all property will be
assessed. Section 17 of the General
Tax Law provides that “no change
of location or- sale of any personal
property after the first day of May
in any one year shall affect the as-
sessment made in such year”, yet
this does not mean that the assess-
ing oﬂlcer is limited to the ﬁrst day
of May in making his assessment.
It only provides that a change in
location or sale of property after
the ﬁrst day of May shall not af—
fect the assessment.

Some years ago we requested an
opinion‘from the Attorney General
as to whether or not an assessing
ofﬁcer could add to his assessment
roll personal property brought into
the assessing district after the sec-
ond Monday in April. In his opin-
ion, the Attorney General said that
“assessing ofﬁcers are not obliged
to assume that property which comes
into their assessing district after the
second Monday in April, or even
after the ﬁrst day of May, has been
assessed for taxation in some other
district. In a good many cases de—
lays in transit occur, or delays in
the actual work of assessing in the
district from which the property
came, or in other cases property
coming in from some other state
where the time of assessment is dif-
ferent from that of Michigan, might
vitally aﬂect the question. Where,
however, the owner of the property
feels he has been wrongfully as-
sessed. he should undoubtedly make

igan State Fair’s race not ‘only
1 to hold supremecy but to win
 international su’premecy is predicted
by” Secretary-Manager George W.
Dickinson for this year’s exposition
which will be held in Detroit from
August 31 to September 9.

The Michigan State Fair is now ,a
$5,000,000 project. ,The premiums
, will go over $100,000 and $50,000

worth of free attractions will be of-
' fered' for the entertainment of visit-

ors in addition to the many exhibi-
tions and the twenty—two .big shows

 

f ;_ on the “Midway.”

The live stock and. agricultural
exhibits are constantly growing and
the fair ofﬁcials are struggling with
the problem of accomodating them.
Within the next year, however, spac-

~.ious new buidings will be erected
under the latest $1,000,000 bond
issue, which was authorized by the
legislature this year.

These exhibits this year are ex-
pected to excel in quantity and qual-
ity the exhibits of former years.

An interesting action of the fair
management this year is the increase
in accomodations and premiums for
horses. Horse lovers and horse
breeders have felt that this subject
had not received enough attention
in years past so the fair board decid—
ed to do everything possible from
now on to encourage the breeding
of ﬁne horses of every class.

Mr. Dickerson is now In corres—
pondence with the state and federal

» ' governments in an effort to bring on

even more extensive exhibits this
year. The federal government has
already pledged an excellent dairy
exhibit which should, prove of great
value to every dairyman.

The 1923 dog show should be a
“thriller.” Dogs of all kinds will be
exhibited but the big attraction will
be the demonstrations by trained
‘PolIce Dogs. They will show how
they guard property, ﬁnd lost ob—
jects and catch ﬂeeing criminals.

Cat show, poultry show, domestic
science and manual training exhibi-
tions, gardening exhibit, apiary ex-
hibit and many others have been
arranged. The electrical and me-
chanical exhibits are expected to be
quite complete and very interesting.

“All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy” is something Mr.
Dickerson believes in. As a result
he has arranged an entertainment
program that will be without equal
in the nation. ~

On the “Midway” where there wil
be twenty—two snappy shows, life
will be one round of pleasure. In
selecting these shows Mr. Dickerson
and members of the business com-
mittee made a special trip to Indiana
in order to make sure that the shows
were not only real high class, worth
while attractions, but also that there
would be nothing in any of them
that .might'offend the wives and
children of fair visitors. ,

The shows, which have been high-
ly praised by the press in many cities
passed the Michigan State Fair’s in-
spection with ﬂying colors.

_The entertainments classed as free
attractions include many of the best
acts in the country. There will be
horse races featuring the famous
trotter, Peter Manning, driven by
America’s P r e m i e r reinsman,
Thomas W. Murphy.

Peter Manning will race against
the Michigan State trotting record of
1:59% and Mr. Dickerson predicts

, that a new mark will be set.

Three great bands have been en-
gaged for concerts and other musi-
cal numbers. The 91st Highland
band of Canada, an organization that
made an enviable reputation before
and during the war will appear und-
er the direction of Lieutenant Star es.
Cervonis concert band and a military

. hussar band also have been engaged. *
There Will be auto polo matches,
thrilling balloon and parachute
races, a girl will ride a horse in a 40-
foot dive and there will be a number
of tumbling and exceptionally good «
aerial acts. Two great ﬁreworks
demonstrations have been arranged.
One will Lbe given twice daily during
the fair. The burning of Smyrna
will be. depicted the ﬁrst three days
and from then on the spectacular

income.

The rates ﬁxed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission are intended to be such as will enable
the railroads as a whole to earn at least 5%% on
the value of their properties. Out of this net in-
come they must meet interest on debt, pay divi-
dends to the stockholders and build up a surplus
as required by prudent business management.

The railroads earned 3.31% in 1921, and 4.14%
in 1922. This year they hope to do better. They
must do better if necessary new capital is to be
attracted to railroad development.

It was only during the period of Government
operation thatrailroad net income was guaranteed.
That income was based on pre—war earnings, and
averaged 5%??? on the value of railroad property.

If any railroad fails to earn 5%% on its invest-
ment, the Government doesn’t make up the
difference; and the law provides that anything
earned above 6% must be equally divided with

the Government.

As stated by the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission in a recent decision, the rate provision
of the Transportation Act “carries with it no
guarantee”, but “it is, instead, a limitation”.

DOESN’T LIKE WORK OF HIGH-
WAY DEPARTMENT

.WOULD you like to know some-

thing about Branch Trunk
Road No. 57, Boync Falls to
Boyne City and then to Walloon

Lake? Why has thest'ate beenvover
ﬁve years on "part of this road? Why
does the state spend money on road
across private property which has
not been condemned but Which must
be before they can get title? Why
do they abandon. good road along
settiml and cleared farms which has
been used and kept up at a cost of
$1,800 per year by state and county
for years for an almost impossible
route through swamp for three miles
with no family on same and one-half
mile longer-'2' Why ﬁght? Court
battled over three years and they
started work before the outcome of
the court proceedings. Have they
the advantage of pro—court decision?
Do you think it is right for private
money to have to foot the bills for
those proceedings? Whenﬁnished
it will be just a gravel road but it
has already cost enough to have
made the old road a 20—ft. cement
driveway. The building of this
road is in a sinking swamp. Rebuild-
ing it this spring and again next
spring as will be necessary will cost
more than the entire old route
would. Rogers turned this route
down and it was given up invfavor of
the old route before the war, but two
men were powerful enough to have
it reconsidered. So at last Rogers
said in letter that he would build on
proposed new route if right. of way
Was got and they are still ﬁghting
for that right of way. But they have
fooled Rogers into thinking they
had it, so he let contract. He knows
now that one of the many suits that
have been brought is pending in the.
Supreme Court and also some talk of
investigation. - He has, for awhile,
at' least, quit work on road and re-
fused to gravel but the powers—that-
be here in county regardless of state
actions are going ahead on the two
most disputed farms so as to get
travel on it this summer. The two
tar-ms are ruined by road as was
promised they would be if owners
fought the road. Nearly $100,000
has been wasted so far. WOuld 'you
like all the facts or history of this

But simplicity touches all phases
of living and is meant to be both a
personal and a social asset to the,
world. It has to do with our home a
life, our pleasures, and our business. ,
But one cannot be simple in the de— ‘
tailed outa' life until simplicity ;
touches one’s thinking and one’s re—
solves; the aspirations and loves of
one's heart. So again, the secret is
discovered in Isaiah 26: 3, “Thou Wilt
keep him in perfect peace whose
mind is stayed on thee”.

“The mind is its own place and can
make a heaven of hell or a hell of
heaven”. And says the Inﬁnite Pur—
pose, “Asa. man thinketh in his heart
so is he”. With a mind stayed on

and ﬁne prospect. Ideally, with this
man, there should be no worry about
what io—morrow might bring forth-
“Snﬁicieut unto the day is the evil
thereof.” This is the secret of simple
living. ,

Day after day you have gone to your
ﬁelds and your kitchens depending .
upon our own right arm, our own
strength; in a. word, self-conﬁdent.
You did it yesterday and succeeded.
Why not today? Yoda-day your body
was strong, brain was clear, and foot
was sure. You depended on our OWn
self and was not disappointed. Why
not today? And so it happens that
today again you easily cope with all
the daily demands. And why not to-
marrow?

Well, tomorrow comes with the
ﬁrst illness, the ﬁrst gray hair. the
ﬁrst revelation of the low of
strength. And What disappointment!
You had not seen yourself before as
becoming enfeeble ' You had stayed
Your mind on what you supposed to
be a perfectly able self. Now, your
support is going, your life is shrink—
ing, occasioning a bitter surprise.
Your house is beginning to fall. And
are you’still anxious for tomorrow?
Learn the secret of simple living,
which is a God—reliance instead of a
self-reliance. “Come now, ye that

into the city and spend a year there,
and trade, and get gain; whereas
ye know not what shall be on the
marrow- What is your life? For
ye are a. vapor that appeareth for a

“all each glut-yin; ls evil" when God
is left out of our plans. '

.. ii“ .  .. when m, waited
1 atient'l'y’ iitil‘ e returned. He mo-
V tiOned Aldous ‘to’lseat himself close
' at his ;;side. Both men lighted their
pipes before the amountaineer spoke._
“We can’t both sleep at once to-
night, Johnny,” he said. “We’ve got
to take turns keeping watch.”
_ “You’ve discovered something to-
' day?” ' I
“No. It's what I haven’t discov-
ered that counts. There weren’t no
tracks in this valley, Johnny, from
mount’in to mount’in; They have-
n’t travelled through this range, an'
that leaves just two things for us to
ﬁgger on. They’re behind us—or
_DeBar is hitting another trail into
the north. There isn’t no danger
ahead right now, because we’re get-
tin' into the biggest ranges between
here an’ the Yukon.‘ If Quade ands.
Rann are in the next valley they
can’t get over the mount’ins to get
us. Quade, with all his ﬂesh, could-
n’t climb over that range to the west
of us inside 0’ three days, if he'
could get over it at all. They’re
hikin’ straight for the gold over an—
other trail, or they’re behind us, an’
mebby both.”

“How—both?” asked Aldous.

“Two parties,” explained MacDon-
ald, pufﬁng hard at his pipe. “It
there’s an outﬁt behind us they were
hid in the timber on the other side
of the snow-ridge, and they’re pretty
close this minute. Culver Rann—or
FitzHugh, as you. call him—is hust—'
ling straight on with DeBar. Mebby
Quade is with him, an’ mebby he
ain’t. Anyway, there’s a big chance
of a bunch behind us with special in-
structions from Quade to cut our
throats and keep Joanne.”

That day Aldous had been turning
a question over in his own mind. He
asked it now.

“Mac, are you sure you can go to
the valley of gold without DeBar?”

For a long half minute MacDon-
ald looked at him, and then his
voice rumbled in a low, exultant
laugh in his beard.

“Johnny,” he said, with a strange
quiver in his voice, “I can go to it
now straighter an’ quicker than De-
Bar! I know why I never found it.
DeBar helped me that much. The
trail is mapped right out in my brain
now, Johnny. Five years ago I was
within ten miles of the cavern—an’
didn’t know it!”

“And we can get there ahead of
them?”

“We couldf—if it wasn't for
Joanne. We’re makin' twenty miles
a day. We could make thirty.”

“If we could beat them to it!” ex-
claimed Aldous clenching his hands.
“If we only could, Donald—the rest
.would be easy!”

MacDonald laid a heavy hand on
his knee.

“You remember what you told me,
Johnny, that you’d play the game
fair, and give ’em a ﬁrst chance?
You ain’t ﬁggerin’ on that now, be
you?" I

“No. I’m with you now, Donald.
it’s "

“Shoot on sight!"

“Yes.”

Aldous rose from his seat as he
spoke.

“You turn in, Mac,” he said.
“You’re about hushed after the work
you’ve done to-day. I’ll keep ﬁrst
watch. I’ll conceal myself ﬁfty or
sixty yards from camp, and if we
have visitors before midnight the
fun will all be mine."

He knew that MacDonald was
asleep within ﬁfteen minutes after
he had stationed himself at his post.
- In s'pite‘of the fact that he had had
almost no sleep the previous night,
he was more than usually wakeful.
He was ﬁlled with a curious feeling

that events were impending. Yet the
hours passed, the moon ﬂooded the
valley again, the horses grazed with-
out alarm, and nothing happened;
He had planned not to awaken old
Donald at midnight, but MacDonald
roused himself, and came to take his
place a little before twelve. From
that :hour until four Aldous slept
like dead. He was tremendously re-
freshed when he arose, to ﬁnd that
the candle was alight in Joanne’s
tepee, and that MacDonald had built
a ﬁre. He waited for Joanne and
went with her to the tiny creek near
the camp, where both bathed their
faces in the snow-cold water from
the mountain tops. Joanne had
slept soundly for eight hours, and
she was as fresh and as happy as a
bird. Her lameness was almost
gone, and she was eager for the
day’s journey.

As they ﬁled again up the valley
that morning, with the early sun
transﬁguring the great snow-topped
ranges about them into a paradise of
colour and warmth, Aldous found
himself mentally wondering if it
were really possible. that a serious
danger menaced them.. He did not
tell MacDonald what was in his
mind. He did not confess that he
was about ready to believe that the
man on the snow—ridge had been a
hunter or a prospector returning to
his camp in the other valley, and
that the'attack in Tete Jaune was
the one and only eﬁort Quade would
make to secure possession of Joanne.
While ,a few hours before he had al—
most expected an immediate attack,
he was now becoming more and
more convinced that Quade, to a
large extent, had dropped out of the
situation. He might be with Morti-
mer FitzHugh, and probably was—a
dangerous and formidable enemy to
be accounted for when the ﬁnal set-
tlement came.

But as an immediate menace to
Joanne, Aldous was beginning to
fear him less as the hours passed.
Joanne, and the day itself, were sub
ﬁcient to disarm him of his former
apprehension. In places they could
see for miles ahead and behind them.
And Joanne, each time that he look-
ed at her, was a greater joy to him.
Constantly she was pointing out the
wonders of the mountains to him
and MacDonald. Each new rise or
fall in the valley held fresh and de-
lightful surprises for her; in the
craggy peaks she pointed out castle-
ments, and towers, and battlement—'
ed strongholds of ancient princes
and Kings. Her mind was a wild
and beautiful riot of imagination,
of wonder, and of happiness, and in
spite of the grimness of the mission
they were on even MacDonald found
himself rejoicing in her spirit, and
he laughed and talked with them as
they rode into the North.

They were entering now into a.
hunter’s paradise. For the ﬁrst time
Joanne saw white, moving dots far
up on a mountain-side, which Mac-
Donald told her were goats. In the
afternoon they saw mountain sheep
feeding on a slide a half a mile
away, and for ten breathless minutes
Joanne watched them through the
telescope. Twice caribou sped over
the opens ahead of them. But it
was not until the sun was settling to-
ward the west again that Joanne saw
what she had been vainly searching
the sides of the mountains to ﬁnd.
MacDonald had stopped suddenly in
the trail, motioning them to ad-
vance. When they rode up to him

he pointed to a green slope tw
hundred yards ahead. ‘

“There’s yo’r grizzly, Joanne,” he
said. . , . ‘

A huge, tawny beast was ambling
slowly along the crest of the slope,
and at sight of him Joanne gave a
little cry of excitement.

“He’s hunting for gophers,” ex-
plained MacDonald.
he don’t seem in a hurry. He don’t
see us because a b’ar’s eyesare near-
sighted, but he could smell us half
a mile away if the wind was right.”

He was unslinging his long riﬂe ”

as he spoke. Joanne was near
enough to catch his arm.

“Don’t shoot —— please don’t
shoot! ” she begged. “I’ve seen
lions, and I’ve seen tigers—and

they’re treacherous and I don’t like
them. But there’s something about
bears that I love, like dogs. And
the lion isn’t a king among beasts
compared with him. Please 'don’t
shoot!" .

“I ain’t a-goin’ to,” chuckled old
Donald. “I’m just gettin' ready to
give ’im the proper sort of a hand-
shake if he should happen to come
this way, Joanne. You know a
grizzly ain’t partic’lar afraid of any-
thing on earth as I know of, an’
they’re worse’n a dynamite explos-
ion when they come head-on. There
———he’s goin’ over the slope!”

“Got our wind,” said Aldous.

They went on, a colour in
Joanne’s face like the vivid sunset.
They camped two hours before dusk,
and MacDonald ﬁgured they had
made better than twenty miles that
day. The same precautions were
observed in guarding the camp as
the night before, and the long-hours
of the vigil were equally unevent-
ful. The next day added still more
to Aldous’ peace of mind regarding
possible attack from Quade, and on
the night of this day, their forth in
the mountains, he spoke his mind to
MacDonald. ,

For a few moments afterward the
old hunter smoked quietly at his
pipe. Then he said:

“I don’t know but you’re right"

Johnny. If they were behind us
they’d most likely have tried some-
thing before this. But it ain’t in
the law of the mount’ins to be care-
less. We’ve got to watch.”

“I agree with you there, Mac,” re-
plied Aldous. “We cannot afford to
lose our caution for a minute. But
I’m feeling a deuced sight better ov-
er the situation just the same. If

’we can only get there ahead of-
them!”

“If Quade is in the bunch we’ve
got a chance of beating them,” said
MacDonald, thoughtfully. “He’s
heavy, Johnny—that sort of heavi-
ness that don’t stand up well in the
mount’ins; whiskey—ﬂesh, I call it.
Culver Rann don’t weigh much
more’n half as much, but he’s like
iron. Quade may be a drag. An’
Joanne, Lord bless her!~——she’s fac-
ing the music like an’ ’erp, Johnny!”

“And the journey is almost half
over.”

“This is the fourth day. I ﬁgger
We can make it in ten at most, meb-
by nine," said old Donald. “You
see we’re in that part of the Rockies
where there’s real mount’ins, an’ the
ranges ain’t broke up much. We’ve
got fairly good travel to the end.”

On this night Aldous slept from
eight until twelve. The next, their
ﬁfth, his watch was from midnight
until morning. As the sixth and the
seventh days and nights passed un«

Joanne extinguished the candle in
her tent. He found that he could

not sleep, and he relieved MacDonald ‘- 

at eleven o’clock.

“Get all the rest you can, ,Mac,” he
urged.
morrOw—at about sundown.”

There was but little moonlight
now, but the stars were clear. He
lighted his pipe, and with his riﬂe
in the crook of his arm he walked
slowly'up and down over a hundred-
yard stretch of narrow plain in
which they had camped. That night
they had built their ﬁre beside a fal-
len log, which was now a glowing
mass without ﬂame. Finally he sat
down with his back to a rock ﬁfty
paces from Joanne’s tepee. It was
a splendid night. The air was sweet
and cool. He.leaned back‘until his
head rested against the rock, and
there fell upon him the fatal tempt-
ation to close his eyes and snatch a.
few minutes of the slumber which
had not come to him during the
early hours of the night. He was,
in a doze, oblivious to movement and '
the softer sounds of .the night, when
a cry pierced the~ struggling consc-
iousness” of his brain like the sting of
a dart. Inan instant he was on his
feet. ‘

In the red glow of the log stood
Joanne in her long white night robe.
She seemed to be swaying when he
ﬁrst saw her. Her hands were
clutched to her bosom, and she was
staring—staring out into the night
beyond the burning log, and in her
face a look of terror. He sprang to-
ward her, and out of the gloom be-
yond her rushed Donald MacDonald.
With a cry she turned to Aldous and
ﬂung herself shivering and half-sob-
bing into his. arms.‘ Gray-faced, his
eyes burning like the smoulderin
coals in the ﬁre, Donald MacDonal
stood a step behind them, his long
riﬂe in his hands.

“What is it?” cried Aldous. “What
has frightened you, Joanne?”

She was shuddering against his
breast.

“It—~it must have been a dream,” .

'she said. “It—Alt frightened me. But

it was so terrible, and I’m—I’m
sorry, John. I didn’t know what I -
was doing.”

MacDonald had drawn very close.
Joanne raised her head. I '
“Please let me go back to bed,
John. ,It was Only a dream, and I’ll
tell it to you in the morning, when
there's sunshine—and day.”
Something in MacDonald’s tense,
listening attitude caught Aldous’
eyes. .
“What was the dream?" he urged.
She looked from him to old Don-
ald, and shivered. .
“The ﬂap of my tepee‘was open,”
she said slowly. “I thought I was
awake. I thought I could see the
glow of ﬁre. But it was a dream—
a dream, only it was horrible! For
as I looked I saw a face out there in
the light, a white, searching face—-
and it was his face!”

old hunter had disappeared. It was
.ten minutes before he came in from
.out of the darkness. He went

 , straight to Aldous.

“Johnny, you was asleep!”

“I’m afraid I was Mac—just for a
minute.”

MacDonald’s ﬁngers gripped his
arm. A
“Jus’ for a minute, Johnny—an’
in that minute you lost the chance of
your life!" '

‘fWhat do you mean?”

“I mean”—-and old Donald’s voice
was ﬁlled with a low, choking trem-
ble that Aldous had never heard in it
before—“I mean that it weren't no
dream, Johnny! Mortimer Fitz-
Hugh was in this camp tonight!”

CHAPTER XXV

ONALD MacDONALD’S startling
assertion that Mortimer Fitz-
Hugh had been in the camp,

and that Joanne's dream was not a
dream, but reality, brought a gasp
of astonishment and disbelief from
Aldous. Before he had recovered
sufﬁciently from his amazement to
speak, MacDonald was answering the
question in his mind.

“I woke quicker’n you, Johnny,”
he said. “She was just coming out
of the tepee, an’ I heard something
running off through the brush. I
thought mebby it was a wolverine, or
a bear, an’ I didn’t move until she
cried out your name an’ you jumped
up. If she had seen a bear in the
ﬁre-glow she wouldn’t have thought
it was Mortimer. FitzHugh, would
she? It’s possible, but it ain’t like—
ly, though I do say it’s mighty queer
why he should be in this camp alone.
It’s up to us to watch pretty

then.

Joanne slipped from his arms and

ran into the tepee.

In MacDonald’sface was a grim

and sullen look.

found where a horse was tied out

WHAT’S COMIN’ NEXT?
’8 gettin’ to be a pretty lively 01’
world, now, ain’t it? We’ve
pretty night got to go armed
even to go up town. Well mebbe it
ain’t so bad as that here in my home
tOWn but when I read of the things
that're goin’ on in other places I’m
gettin’ scart just a bit—I’m takin’
not so many chances an’ go out in

daylight an’ not very far then.
When I read the papers and learn
that 15 year old girls have commenc-
ed shootin’ ol’ tellers, killin’ ’em
deader’n a door nail, I’m just lettin'

' lots of daylight shine between me

an’ all kinds of women.

.Anna Daidoue, age 15, shot an’
killed her suitor, Frank Loranto,
aged 40. At 15 Anna should not
have had a suitor—she should be
playin’ with her dolls an’ livin’ like
a girl of that age ort to live.

At 40 Frank Loranto ort to have
known better’n to be foolin’ around
with young girls of 15 years of age.
. Killin’ a man like that mebbe is
helpin’ society some—~any way we
can git along without men like that,
but it ain’t always Frank Loronto’s
that’s bein’ killed. '

You know it’s gittin’ to be rather

4 TES Around the World with ONE DILING

100,000 Miles Without Stopping for Oil!

‘ , :. c An inventor who could develop an automobile, a railroad car or any
 ﬂ    other conveyance on wheels which would perform such a feat would
- ’ "’ l_  be considered a wonder. But such is the record of regular
, -:-.:- accomplishment by the Auto-oiled Aermotor during the past
"" ’f‘i’ eight years in pumping water.

  Did you ever stop to think how many revolutions the wheel
of a windmill makes? If the wheel of _an Aermotor should roll along the surface
of the ground at the same speed that it makes .when pumping water it would
encircle the world in 90 days, or would go four timesaround in a year. It would
travel on an average 275 miles per day or about 30 miles per hour for 9 hours each
day. An automobile which keeps'up that pace day after day needs a thorough
oiling at least once a week. Isn’t it marvelous, then, that a windmill has been
made which will go 50 times as long as the best automobile With one oiling?
The Auto-oiled Aermotor after 8 full years of service in every
part of the world has proven its ability to run and give the most reliable service
With- one onling a year. The double gears, and all moving parts, are entirely
enclosed and ﬂooded with oil all the time. It gives more service with less attention than
any other piece of machinery on the farm. To get everlasting wind-mill satisfaction buy the
Auto-Oiled Aermotor, the most efﬁcient windmill that has ever been made.

STATE TREASURY FLUSH
’ BQUT the most welcome news that We could
hope to spread from this page is the report
from Mr. 0. B. Fuller, Auditor Gemnl,
that the state of Michigan closed the ﬁscal year
on June 30th with nearly 3103003000200 in cash
in its state funds.

Farmers. are going to begin. to wonder right.
away if it is not possible to reduce the tax burden
which has. been around their weeks for the past.
.few years, and The Business. Farmer wants to go
right on record that this is no time for the state
to accumulate a cash reserve when the farmers
of the state have been suﬂering, from. so long, a
depression.

Mr. Fuller issues. another Will We in that
the 1923 state tax is; likely to: be, $16,000,006
which would represent a reduction of $1,300,000
from the 1922 levy. During the past few months
Wayne», Maconb, and! St. Clair Counties ham
been tlulllixirely,n reassessed and it is said that this
magnum assessment in: Wayne County alone
amounts to $200,000,000, which indicates in a
small way, at least, the growth. and. prosperity of:
Michigan’s. metropolis.

With the- iucreased’ valuation and the) lowering
of state expwditures which Governor Groesbeek
has worked: so. diligently on, it is tn be hoped
that the yoke may be lightened at least somewhat
during this year. There is abmlutelly’ mt the
slightest question but what increasing taxes. were
arriving at a point. where agriculture in tinsstalte
could not hear the load which it. was asked: to
carry. The new of lowmd taxes is therefore
most gratifying and will do much to rebuild a
sound agriculture in Michigan.

 

NEW YORK DAIRY 1182531712 A SUCCESS
you are a [hde shipping in the:
Detroit. area. you ought to be interested in. the
president’s report which is. practically a. sum—
mary oi the second successful year at the New
York Dairynen’s lasagna which has gone into the
milk situation in America‘s greatest milk market.
in a manner that is strikingly commendable.

Nearly one-tenth of all the men, women and
children in the United States of America live in
the New York Mills: area, and each morning must
ﬁnd on their doorstep iresh milk tor their 
food requirements. The problem of producing
this milk and getting it to them fresh and econ-om-
ically is one which staggers the imagination, and
that the-dairymen themselves, after years of un-
successful dealings through middlemen, in this
market, should have come to the solution of op-
erating their own business and providing a means
of outlet for their by—products is an object lemon
ion the dairymen oi Michigan.

Our milk-producers must not overlook the fact
that Detroit is now fourth city and that other
metropolitan districts of Michigan are increasing
in population more rapidly than any other simi-
lar section of the United States, The“ problems
of New York state are or will be identical with
our own. Our ‘dairymen might as well be pre-
pared for the inevitable.

Like every other cooperative marketing asso~
elation, the Dairymen’s League has beensub—
jected to a consistent attack which is aimed (as
all other similar attacks are aimed) at the
. morale of its members. It the enemy of coopera-

W B mo 10 SUGAR. ms:
you have been wondering what is going to
happen to the: sugar beet industry now that.
the agar mmch once again have in. their

control the: m a: sugar in these United States. .

you will be interested in the arm by Simon G.
Palmer in this issue.

The heat sugar industry in America. is facing
a. citing Not that the. crick- is. any more acute
today than it was ﬁve years age, but it is: more
apparent. As has been pointed out, the United
States, which could raise all the sugar needed. in
the world. in its own beet ﬁelds, now supplies less
than two-ﬁfths of its owu consumption, and de-
pends on the cane growers of Cuba and other
foreign cmtries for the principal supply at one
oi it greatest necessities. Ellen. this 
is protected it is easy tn proﬁt-t that within: he
years bats will be ﬂying through factories in
Michigan, Colorado and California, and the tow"-
ering smoke stacks will be only monuments to
an industry which once promised so much to both
the producer and the consumer.

 

M. A. o. POT sum. Home:

WE predicted. that the. ousting at Dr. Friday,
former president of the Michigan Agrixml-

utxall College, would  clean: the at-
mosphere or move to. be a step in. the; right
direction unless; it be that his martyrdom. should.
markthe ending of politics in the administration
all our college.

New reports tell us that the state 
tive board has withheld all extension funds un-
til the college authorities give the board the in,—
fmmtiom in desires regarding the. connection: be
tween the extension turd madmws and activi-
ties of the Michigan State Firm  This
order withholds approximately Macaw approp-
riated tor the maﬁa by the last legislature, and
means that so long as this horn-locking, con—
threes  mm work at the college will have
to cease. ‘ ’ '

Some time: 1gp the state administrative board
decided to investigate the claim that the partial
payment of the; county agent by the State Farm
Bureau» was leading to a virtual  by that
 examination. The, See-return of State
was empowered toinvestignte and ~Iris claim new
is, that he has not. been able to get the interma—
tion which n claim from Farm  Metals.
‘01! course all of this is a petty squabbte, in which
the innocent hay-stander, which hummus in this
case to be our on agricultural millage, is the only
one that will particularly Met. Right now, at
a time when extension work is most important?
in a' season of the year when the farmers of
Michigan most need its unions and when they
are beginning to cash-in on. the work which the
extension department can. do for them. there
arises a political squabble which makes this de-
partment entirely inactive and impotent.

Over in Oklahoma. as you will note by reading
"This Week’s. Editorial” they are having the
same kind of trouble where partners has crept
into the administration of the state's‘agricnitural
college. If. you get any consolation out at
others’ troubles similar to your own, you can
read that with some satisﬁaction.

In the meantime news item tell. us of the
weakening oi the excellent faculty which M. A.
C. was building up. Today we read that Profes-
sor C. A. (longer. acting head of the department
of zoology and physiology has- resigned and is
leaving for Wesleyan University. How can. they
expect the farmers of this state tube patient
in the face of such conditions? .

 papers under the heading. “Young

$2 to $ 3 for each young rooster that

some information. ’

In the first place,‘ Mr. George

Beuoy, is the manufacturer of instru--.

ments for caponizing poultry, and in
the letter which. he sends in answer
to your reply as to how many roost-
ers you have ready or shipment,

and of what—breed, he tells you that,

he. will send a complete caponz-ling
outﬁt for $5, that is, if you order
within two weeks. We have no

izing is s_ound,and the instruments
valuable, but there is no excuse ior
a manufacturer stooping to advertis-
ing which misrepresents the facts in
order to get inquiries, and it is up
to the publisher who accepts this ad-

You can let your young roosters

REGARDING THE ANNEKA JANS
BOGARDUS ESTATE
,VERY day our readers are send-
ing in , additional information
regarding the Anneka Jans Bo-
gardus Estate, which as we under
stand it, Owns the lower part of New
York City. They tell us it only re-
mains for a few shrewd lawyers to
properly present their claims and the
courts will return a fortune to the
estate which will make Mr. Henry
Ford’s ready-cash look like a Sunday
school collection.

We learn, for instance, that there
is an Anneka Jans Bogardus Society
in Michigan, of which L; C. Teﬂ't, of
Leslie, is president, and Ethel Kels-
ey of Iackson is secretary and treas-
urer. We_mention in particular the
fact that this society has a treasurer,
and dues, which we understand for
the state society is only 50 cents, but
for the national society is ﬁve dollars
“for registration” $2.00 per month
forever afterwards. This ought to
build up a considerable estate for
someone, if there are enough direct
or indirect descendants, and it
should not be hard to prove at this
price per head that there are a great
number. For instance, if there
were ﬁve hundred descendants who
paid in $2 per month, not to mention
the original $5 registration fee, this

‘ not notice that they were particular-

"would‘crieate a fund of $1000 per
.monthyor it'there are 5000, which
we would more readily expect, this
would create a fund “$120,000 per
year, which wouldin time, if proper-
ly invested, create a nice little nest
egg for those who are piloting th
destiny of, the society. _ -

In a printed circular which comes
to our hands, we notice—that what
the National Committee is most wor-
ried about, is that their plans are
getting some publicity, and they beg
of each member of this society to
keep as quiet as possible as to the
amount they are paying ‘in and what
they are doing.

Perhaps we haven’t taken this
matter seriously enough, but recent-
ly we were in New York and we did

ly worried down on Wall or Broad
Street, in fact they seemed to be con-
tentedly going ahead building thirty
and forty story buildings on proper-
ty which, if we are to believe the
letters We get, belong to folks scat—
tered all over Michigan.

Apparently the investors in these
sky-scrapers are taking a long
chance on the faulty title which the
heirs of one Anneka are about to
prove! «

ies during the past few weeks from
farmers who have recently been ,

advice is, to ascertain at what price I
these stocks are being quoted on the
Detroit market. Most of them are
selling way below par, as you wil'
notice for example, in a special l‘u»
port just received regarding one at
them, which we believe to be reli—
able. ,

their dividends since the organization
of the company but we believe there
has been a delay of from 10 to 20
days in mailing the checks. The com—
pany is well managed. and we feel
that at the present market value the
stock is quite attractive.”

If you are thinking of buying any
loan or mortgage stock we will be
glad to get you a special report re-
garding the company and the price
at which the stock is being sold on

card and there will be a new deal
all around.

This sort of thing has been hap-
pening right along. There have been
ﬁve presidents at the Oklahoma Ag-
riculture College within 11 years.
The longest term of service of any
director of the experiment station
since the- college was founded has
been three years. The average form
of service of other faculty members
has been scarcely longer. _. -

A condition like this is not good
for the school. Teachers like to stay
put. They want to be measured in
terms of usefulness, not of politics.
For many years it has gradually he-
.come increasingly harder to get'good
teachers to come to the college at

can itself has been steadily declin-

thousands of dollars to ﬁnd out
things about farming. No experi—
ment can be proved in less than ﬁve
years. No director of the station
can do much in the three years
which is his maximum term of of—
ﬁce. It is a safe bet that, regardless
of the best efforts of the teachers
and experiment station workers
themselves, half of the annual ap-
propriation has been wasted every
year by the frequent changes of
plan and method. Neither can any
man do his best work when he lives
under the shadow of a sudden dis-
missal without cause.

I am quite willing to assume that
every man who takes a. job there
goes in with high ideals of service
and a desire to do his best for the
farm boys and girls of Oklahoma.
But noneof them, from the president
down, gets very far toward a realiza-
tion of his ideals. The college is
too much the football of politics for
that. Educators in either agricul—
tural colleges speak of it as a. sort
of a joke. They know that no col—

CANNING THE “COLD-PACK”

HE last issue told how to use a
boiler for the new cold-pack
method that is being used by all

the modern housewives and I am go-

ing to give you a few simple rules to

* follow.

' Points to Remember:

Use absolutely fresh products
‘only.
To prepare preserved peaches,

pears, apricots, plums, strawberries,
raspberries, etc., follow the general
directions for canning fruits.

' 1. Wash the fruit in cold water.

‘2. Blanch—that is, scald in vboil—
ing water, from ﬁve to ten minutes,
or steam from ﬁfteen to twenty min—
9' 'utes.

‘ 3. Plunge
two minutes.

4. Peel or skin—as needed.

 ‘ 5.. Remove seeds, stems and blos-
som ends according to common
sense. ' .

6. Pack as much as possible into
absolutely clean scalded jars.

'7. Cover with a heavy syrup
~ made of the following proportions of
"sugar and water—two and a half-
-pounds of granulated sugar to three
, quarts of water—boiled together for
* ﬁve minutes.

' . 8. Place a new rubber on each

jar, and partly close down the cov-

 PB.

Te 9. Place the cans in the boiler,

fcoverwith cold water until the jars

are submerged at least two inches.

,1 ‘ 10. Put on boiler lid, bring to

“boiling point, and boil steadily the

length of time allowed in the can-

' ning table.

- Then remove, close perman-
‘i‘fently without opening, no matter
ow- much the material in the can

may have shrunk. If more conven-

ent, cool in the water.

12. Turn upside down on a
cloth and cool, away from draughts.
.~~If the jars leak, new rubbers Will
have to be put on and the process
‘ "sated.
rep Store in a dark place, moder-
ately cool.

‘ Various blends of ﬂavoring may be

preserving, as a little stick

innamon or a few whole cloves in
hQIgyrup for citron, apples, pears,

«peaches, currants, or fresh ﬁgs; lem-

on or. orange rind with that for

' pineapples, prunes, ﬁgs or

rice, etc. Sometimes in pre-

 ng, it is possible to blend fruit

' rs by using a contrasting fruit
instead of water in making the

Spiced Wild-Apple Jelly—To mak

this jelly, cut up any desired amount
of wild apples or tame ones. Put in
a kettle and add cold water and vin-
egar (three-fourths water to one-
fourth vinegar) until you can just
see the apple, boil until a mush, stir-
ring and mashing. Strain through
jelly-bags, measure. Allow three-
fourths cup of sugar to each cup
of juice. The pectin test may be us-
ed if desired. Boil the juice with a
muslin bag of mixed spices very rap-
idly for twenty minutes; then add
sugar which has been heated and
boil ﬁve minutes or until it sheets
from a spoon. Pour into sterilized
glasses, cool, seal the glasses with
hot parafﬁn and cover.

Monadnoc Blueberry Pudding—
For this puding, stew one quart of
fresh berries—or same amount of
canned ones—~sweeten to taste, and
ﬁll a mold with alternate layers of
berries and sliced buttered bread;
pack closely, ﬁtting the bread into
the mold so that it may be perfect
when turned out. Be sure that the
bread, berries and juice are so pro-
portioned that the bread may be well
soaked. Stand over-night, if pos-
sible. Eat cold with whipped cream.

OKLAHALIA HOUSEWIFE JEIAIJI-
ED WHOLE CHERRY ORCHARD

UST as the cherries were ripe a
J severe hail storm came up and so
damaged the entire crop that it
was not worth picking, so far as the
general market was concerned. The
wife of the owner of the cherry orch-
ard had witnessed a demonstration
of concentrated fruit pectin and
knew that with its use cherry juice
could be converted into pure, delic-
iOus cherry jelly. So she gathered
the entire crop, promptly made juice
of it and little by little, as she found
time, she converted the cherry juice
into jelly. The cherry is a fruit so
deﬁcient in pectin arrived to help out
the housewife, she was unable to
make a single glass of cherry jelly,
much less “jell” an entire orchard.
———Pectin, as'you know, is the gel-
atinizing principal of certain ripe
fruits and it is on the market now
for use in making jellies from fruit
that never would jell without it.

CANEP COOKING
OR cooking, the following utens-
ils are necessary. 'Be sure to
take a large fryingpan, kettle for
cooking vegetables, a coffee-pot, and
a knife, fork, spoon, plate, cup and
bowl for each person. If you are to
camp in a rocky country, it is better
to take plates , cups and bowls of
aluminum or heavy' tin, for enamel

ware will chip if dropped.
When you go into camp, take
enough supplies with you to last sev-

‘ eral days so that, although‘you may

be near enough to town to ’run in at
any time, you do not have to do so.
The relief from the necessity of pre-
paring the daily schedule for mark-
eting is wonderful. The fact that
you do not have to. make a deﬁnite
effort -to go somewhere and talk to

. people adds more than you think it

does to the rest and repose of camp
life and the beneﬁt that you will re-
ceive from it throughout the year.
You can take a far greater variety
of canned vegetables and fruit‘into a

camp near home than is .possible,

when the camp lies at the end of a

_ long day's paddle through the wild-b- .

erness lakes with so ethiffportages"

 

or “carries’ﬂbetween. There every
ounce counts, for you carry your en-
tire supply of food aswell as every-
thing else on these lake and forest
camping trips—The Designer.

CLOTHES TO TAKE ON A CAMP-
ING TRIP
. MOTHER packs a knicker suit
if she has one or bloomers and
middy. She needs also a warm
skirt and sweater, a rain-coat and
hat, rubber boots or storm rubbers,
and comfortable shoes and sneakers.
Don’t forget the favorite sunburn
remedy. A bottle of iodine, a pack-
age of gauze, a roll of bandage and a
spool of adhesive plaster practically
complete the ﬁrst-aid kit.

The men of the family will take
what-ever outdoor clothing they
have, including khaki and wool
trousers, a ﬂannel as well as cotten
shirt, a sweater and a rain outﬁt. It
is entirely practical to dress both
the younger boys and girls in boys’
khaki suits of “shorts” with ﬂannel
shirts and woolen trousers if it is
cool in summer in your part of the
country.

Every one should have a complete
rain outﬁt. Do not allow any mem-
ber of the family to go about in wet
clothing. It is just as easy to be
comfortable in camp as it is at
home—The Designer.

 

 

Mothers Problems

 

 

DAD LOVES THE CHILDREN, TOO

ON’T forget that Dad loves the

children, too! They are not his

alone to punish and sc'old, and
yours to love and enjoy. All day
long you have them—when they are
good, when they are. naughty, when
they are mischievous: Dad sees them
for a much shorter time each day,
and he ought to see them at their
best. But do you let him? Many
mothers do not. For Dad they store
up every childish misdeed that has
occurred; they “ﬁll him up” with
stories of how naughty his boys and
girls are, how mischievous, how
saucy, how disobedient,’ till Dad’s
idea of his children becomes sadly
warped. Perhaps he becomes “Lord
High Executioner”, punishing the
oﬁenders till they learn to fear him;
or perhaps he remains silent, regard-
ing them with such a stern eye of
authority and disapproval that they
shrink-from him and endeavor to
keep out of his way.

When Dad comes in from the ﬁeld,
let him ﬁnd his children happy and
glad to see him. Let him take them
as they are, and get acquainted with
them with an unbaised mind. There’s
time enough after the little folks
have been tucked in bed to talk over
their various misdeeds—and Dad
and Mother should talk them over,
for the children belong to both par—
ents and two heads are required to
solve the problems that arise in the
raising of children. You, the mother,
have seen them so much and have
become tired by the care of them,
you cannot think clearly the best and
the proper means of overcoming
some fault, some habit, some actual
misdeed, but Dad, whose mind all
day has been on diﬁerent matters,
can give a clear, unwearied mind to
child problems. \

Sometimes, it' is true, Dad must
punish, but never, never let him be-
come, .“The Punisher." It destroys
‘ his happiness in his children; it des
trays their happiness in» him. '

milk by tinting it delicately with
pure vegetable colors.

Pasting a pretty picture 'on the
bottom of the glass (outside) for her
little girl to see when she had drain-
ed the glass was the ingenious meth-
od employed by another mother. A
piece of hard candy dropped in the
glass, or a stick of gum, has served
the same purpose: the child would
drink the milk in order to obtain the
“sweet.”

No tea or coffee should ever be al-
lowed children, but cocoa and cereal
coffee are beneﬁcial. These can be
made entirely of milk, except for the
small quantity of water needed to
dissolve the powder.

Such “en‘couragements” need us-
ually be used but a short time. Soon
the habit of drinking milk in one
form or another will be res-establish-
ed, and, with a little care on the part
of the mother, it never again need
be broken.———Margaret Bartlett.

Remedy for Removing Wild Hairs—-

tants until I was in despair. One day

The Runner’s Bible

(Copyright by Houghton-Miﬂ’lin Co.)

Be Ye Thankful: Col. 3:15~— Begin to
give thanks even before you open your
eyes in the morning. As consciousness
creeps over you, follow it with a thank-
ful prayer for life, that a new day, an-
other chance is yours, and be glad in
your heart of hearts that you have faith
in God, and at least a partial under-
standing of devine law. Be thankful for
the beauty of the morning, that you have
eyes to see it and the faculty to enjoy it,
and'as the day advances, forget not' to be
grateful over the small joys as well as
the large ones,-——-the new ﬂower, the book,
the letter, the meeting with friends, the
kindly word; be thankful for knowledge,
for the, lessons that come through mis-
takes and misfortune; be glad that the
misfortune is no worse; in fact be thank-
ful for everything. The least you must
give is a. thankful heart, and a thankful
heart is a fertile ﬁeld; the Lord plants
the seeds of his richest blessings in just
such a ﬁeld.

Dear Uncle Nedz—May I join your

‘ it went in the wast—paper basket. My

father has taken the M. B. F. for several
years. I have brown bobbed hair and
gray eyes. But I'm not very ﬂeshy. I

 have ﬁve sisters and three brothers, Mae,

Grace, Gertrude, Edna and Thelma, Ar—

»; thur, William and Thomas. The ﬁrst

four mentioned are married. I am in the

. seventh grade. We had a picnic the 25th
_ of May at Sand Lake about 9 miles from
' here. We took our dinner and had a

good time. I went in Freeman McCrory’s
car. Coming home we came around by
the Hemlock Road and up through Reno
to Halo. There was Grace Graves, Aud—
rey Harris and my sister Edna and I in
Freeman's car. I live on a farm of ﬁfty
acres. We have 12 cows, 9 calves, 11
pigs, and about 85 chickens. I will close
by asking some riddles. What is the
most beautiful piece of furniture? What
reaches from New York to Boston with—
out moving. Will close, your niece,
-——-Erma White, Hale, Michigan.

-My, I’ll bet you had a ﬁne time at your
picnic. I often think that I would like
to hold a. picnic and have all the mem-
bers of the Children’s Hour attend it.
It would be some jolly crowd wouldn’t it?

Dear Uncle Nedz—Mav I join your
merry circle? Have been a silent reader

‘ for some time, so thought I would write.
- But I’ll bet my letter will never escape

the waste basket. I will describe my-
self: I am 10 years old, four feet seven

-inches tail, light complexioned. brown

eyes and brown hair. I live on the 10500

V, County Farm, of which there is 160 acres

 

of land. We will be here two years this
coming year. We have all the conven-

‘; iences like they have m the city. We
{-yhave thirty head of cattle, two horses
and one sheep. The sheep belongs to my

brother Herbert. For a pet I have a dog
named Rex. I have three sisters and
three brothers. My two youngest b1 others
and myself are going to school. Our
school let out May 12th. We liked our
teachers real well. Their names are
Mr. Curry and Miss Iiietz. I have a nice
home, Uncle Ned. You ought to see it.
My mother and father are both good to
us children. They give us anything we
want. My sisters are all good to us. We
can stay with them any time. I like
birds, Uncle Ned, and I wouldn’t harm
them on a bet. I must close. Will some
of the nieces and nephews write to me?
I will answer all letters received. We
like your paper. Your niece, Floreen Mil-
ler, R 1, Tawas City, Michigan.

, P. S.--—I don’t know your address so
am sending it to the Michigan Business
Farmer. Hope you get it. Would you
state your address in the paper.

——You must be a happy girl with every-

'. one so good to you. I am sure you ap-
_.preciate it and do everything'to show
' that you do. My address is: Uncle Ned.

Dear Uncle Nedt—I have been a silent
reader of your merry circle for, some
time and enjoy reading it very much.
May I join your merry circle? I am 5

—-Surely you may join the Children’s
Hour. I hope you are going to attend

_Dear Uncle Nedz—I thought I would
try my luck in writing again. I suppose
everybody is wondering how old I, am.
We'll I am going to tell. I was 17 the
eleventh of January 1923. Have I a
twin? If so I wish they would write me
a letter. Uncle Ned you said maybe

‘ we could hold a draWing contest, now

would we draw anything we wanted to
or everyone draw the same thing?» I
would like to have a. drawing contest.
Uncle Ned do you like cherries and rasp-
berries? If so, this is the place to get
them. I am your Nephew,'——Lawrence
Chapman, Alma. Mich, R. F. D. No. 1.

-—Well, well. Lawrence, I am glad to
hear from you again. Yes, I think we
will be able to hold a. drawing contest
in the near future. According to my
present plans you would all make a draw-
ing of the picture on the front page of
the issue in which I announce the con-
test. More details soon.

Dear Uncle Nedz—It’s raining to-day.
We haven't had rain up here for so long
that I think the swamp must be drying
up and the ladyslippers are surely look-
ing rather sad. You can see from this,
Uncle Ned, that I must live up in north-
ern Michigan where they have lakes and
swamps. In fact I can claim a mile of
beautiful lake shore and arbuius and
ladyslipper beds for my very own and a
ramshackle old dock with one redeeming
featureba spring board. My home is on
the edge of the resort region and a little
to the northwest lies Lake Michigan with
its chain of beautiful summer colonies——
Charlevoix, Petoskey, Roaring Brook and
Harbor Springs, the little Indian town
where Father Marquette erected a cross
and where later. a. convent was built,
is not unattainable. A road winding in
and out among the maples along the
shore connect it with Harbor Springs.
Right here in our own little lake is an
island where the Mormans held the Feast

 

o

of Fruits. If you have ever been'.here’
you know how ‘wonderful it all is. I
seem to'have gotten this letter a little
mixed up. Perhaps you would like to.
know something about who is writing
this but I won't say much except that
I am sixteen, a. senior .in high school
and swim. Sometimes I amuse myself
by making baskets. I shouldn't like to
hays an Indian see them though. They
might bob my hair a little too close to
my head and I don't want it bobbed. at
all. I bayon't any brothers or sisters
and so sometimes I get just a wee bit
lonesome and I would like to have some
of the other boys and girls write to me.
Do you suppose they would? ' Your niece,
Virginia Lehmann, R. 2, East Jordan,
Michigan. ‘

-—_—My, what a very interesting letter. I
hope you will write often. I like to read
your letters and know that the members
of our circle will too and will want to
hear more about the country around your
home.

 

 

 

\

Dear Uncle Nedt—Here I am again.
I'm rather lonesome so thought I would
write to you for pastime. It’s certainly
fun to write letters and I enjoy it. The
last time I wrote to you I mentioned my
sister who wanted the girls and boys to
write to her, so they did but never
thought about me. She received over
three-fourths of the letters. That wasn’t
hardly fair, was it Uncle Ned? I go in
swimming quite often and enjoy the
water very much. Diving bothers my
nose but. I dive in spite of it, although
it chokes me. Next month my brother
Leander is going to take our family to
Ann Arbor when he gets a cast for his
back. He has tuberculosis of the spine
and the doctors order him to wear a cast.
He suffers driving this terrible warm

.weather, I wish it could rain. If any

of the cousins have the words to "Star

I of the East” would you please write them

and send them to me as I’d like to know
the words when my sister plays the
piano? With love to Uncle Ned and all
the cousins—Iris Arnold, R. 4, Box 474,
Mt. Clemens, Michigan.

———So your sister get nearly all of the
letters. Well, that did not seem ex-
actly fair. But you never can tell,‘ may-
be you will get all of them the next time.

trils with your ﬁngers when going into

RADIO DEPARTMENT

VACUUM TUBES THAT OPERATE
ON DRY CELLS

You say the radio to" the farmer is
a Godsend. You probably can im—
agine what it is to an invalid farmer
conﬁned to his home, isolated from
his family. I have an outﬁt, my
problem is the storage battery. Can
you give me more information about
the improvement you mention in
your editorial in the issue of June
ninth or tell me Where I can get all
details and oblige—M. I. T.,' Birch
Run, Mich. ,

-———The improvement referred to in
the editorial in our June 9th issue is
vacuum tubes that operate on dry
cell batteries instead of a storage
battery. One new tube is called
UV-201—A or C—301—A according to
the company that makes the tube.
This tube is a ﬁve volt tube and can
be worked on a six volt storage bat-
tery if you wish but I ﬁnd it better to
use three dry cell batteries, making
4% volts. It is possible to do this
as the tube draws only one-quarter
ampere, so three dry cells on one
tube last for about a month if set is
used two hours a day. The tube
ﬁts the standard socket and you need
no vernier on your rheostat; howev-
er if your rheostat is the vernier type
you need not change it. Also you
do not need a potentiometer as the
tube is not sensitive to plate voltage.
There is a slight difference in the
hook-up but this is explained in the
literature that comes with the tube.
With a one—tube set using this tube I
had very good results last winter, re-
ceiving from Georgia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama, N e b r a s k a,
Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey: and I also had Texas and
Cuba—only once though.

Another tube is the WD-11 or
“peanut tube” as it- is called. This
tube requires a special socket so if
you already have your set built you
would have to get an adapter. The
WD-12 tube operates the‘ same, "the

only difference is that'it is'meZde to .‘

  

ﬁt a standard socket. The “peanut
tube” draws only one—quarter am-
pere and is designed to operate on a
single dry cell battery of 11/; volts.
One dry cell will operate one of these
tubes intermittentily from 60 to 90
hours depending upon the length of
intervals the tube is used. I have
used one of these tubes with very
good results and at the present time
am using a. WD-12 tube for a. detect-
or and a UV—201—A tube for an am-
pliﬁer. .Of course the ﬁrst tube is
operated by one dry cell while the
other is operated by three. With
the WD—11 or WD-12 a \ernier on
your rheostat is very useful but
there is no advantage gained

through using a potentiometer. You _

will ﬁnd with this tube that a slight
turn~of the rheostat or vernier will
make a diﬁerence in your receiving
while with the UV—ZOI—A or C-3OI—A
the signals or music come in just as
strong when the ﬁlament current is
juét turned on as when turned on in
full. The “peanut tube" does not
light up like the other tubes. When
the current is ﬁrst turned on youcan
not see that the ﬁlament is burning
but when current is turned on full it
shows a, slight glow.

A new tube on the market is the
UV-199 made by the General Elec-
tric company. I have never tried it
but many experts say the tube works
ﬁne. This tube requires so little
ﬁlament energy that an ordinary dry
cell battery will operate one tube for ‘.
a long time. The tube seems to be
very delicate and needs to be handl—
ed With care.

All of the vacuum tubes I have
discussed can be used as detectors
or amplifiersL but the UV—201-A tube

.is declared to prove the best ampli-

ﬁer of the three kinds. All of these
tubes sell for $6.50 each and you
should be able to secure them from
yOur local dealer in radio supplies.
Information on the difference in\
hook-up comes with theitubcs. If
we can furnish any other informa-

‘tion write us: we are always at our

readers’service. “ k

for three years or more and have never

wait another three years before writing

again. .

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have been reading
the Children’s Hour and I liked it. May
I join your circle? I am eleven years old,
my birthday is September 19th. I have
bobbed dark brown hair. I am in the

and take music lessons. I have 'been

and had her letter put in the Children’s
Hour and is corresponding with a girl.
I have a pet kitten, its name is Snipp’y.
We have seven cows. I milk one. We
raised a nice lot of chickens. We have a.
pet colt, its name is Ruby. We have
another colt named Pansy. I feed and
water them. I would like to have some
girls write to me.——-Mlss Edna Brown.
R. F. D. No. 2, Carson City, Michigan.
———You must have a. great time with the
two little colts. You have given them
very nice names. ‘

Dear chle Neck—I have been reading
the Children’s Hour and I found Sumo
pretty interesting letters. Myrtle Taylor,
Watronzville, Michigan; suggested having
a. drawing contest. I think this is a good

suggestion and that it would be u. lot of

fun. I for one, love to draw and will
send in some drawings if you will have
the contest. I am ﬁfteen years old and
will be a sophomore when school begins.
I have dark brown eyes. I am writing
this letter just to let you know that I
am very much interested in the drawing
contest, but I hope to write a longer one
the next time. Will some of the boys
and girls please write to me? I will try
to answer all letters. Edna. Weifenbach,
Box M, Beulah, Michigan.

“Another young artist who wants us to
hold a" drawing contest. We will soon.
so begin practicing in real earnest.

Hello Uncle Nedz—May. I join your
merry circle? I have been a silent mem-
ber for quite a while. I have written a

.few times before, but only one of my

letters was in print. LastSunday it was
my birthday, the tenth of June. My age
is between ten and fourteen. Who ever
guesses my age will receive a. card or
letter from me. Uncle Ned, I certainly
would like you to hold a drav'ving con-
test. I like to draw veryinuch, and I
will Surely join the contest. It seems
as though we were going to have plenty
of tame and wild strawberries this year,
our pasture is \vh tc wiih strawberry
blossoms. I love to pick strawberries
or any kind of berries. Don’t you want
to come over and pick strawberries with
me? Well I see that Waste waste paper
basket eyeing my letter. and I am afraid
he will catch it. I enjoy reading the
children’s Hour. Your niece,——Dorothy
Postma, R.‘ 1, Rudyard, Michigan.

-—I guess we will have to hold a. draw-
ing contest sometime soon. If I can not
come and help you pick strawberries how
Would it be if I help you eat them? I
like that kind of a job.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I always enjoy read-
ing the girls and boys letters and thought
I would write too. I am sixteen years
old, am I too old to join the merry circle
Uncle Ned? I am 5 feet and 1 inch tall.
I have medium brown hair and it is
bobbed and I have a fair complexion and
wear "specks". I have three sisters and
two brothers. I will be a junior in High
School next year. I am going to take the
following subjects: English III, French
I, Modern History, and Book-keeping. I

mum demands for ﬂuid milk ‘at any

On March.31, 1922, the’associa-
tion was operating eighty—four
plants, of which " number forty-six
_ were shipping milk or cream or were

   

in position to dose. Eleven were»

manufacturing case goods, twenty-
iive were making butter or cheese.
on March 31, .1923, the association
was operating one hundred and elev-
en plants and out of this number
eighty-three were under board of
health inspection, either shipping or
ready to ship ﬂuid milk into New
York City at a moment's notice.

And the Test Game!

Probably never again in the hist-
. cry of the association will there be
so remarkable an example of the
possibilities of organisation and
plant control as was furnished, when
on April 1, 1922. a considerable
group of the dealers who bad form—
erly bought of us refused to sign the
association contract. ‘The produc-
tion department was called upon to
divert and handle through its own
operation a million pounds a day
more on April 1 than was handled on
March 31. But with the aid of ﬁeld
men the emergency was successfully
met so that less than one tenth of
one percent of all the milk with-
drawn was left on the farms to be
hand skimmed or otherwise disposed
of.

Five veterinarians have been em-
ployed by the association during the
past year and have been kept very
busy making the required examin-
ations of dairies and dairy barns
throughoutthe territory.

The great increase in our selling
activities, especially in view of the
stress the League has put upon the
high quality of its products, has
made our central laboratory at Utica
one of the most important parts of
the organization. The laboratory has
kept a. daily check on the character
and quality of every product that
has been put upon the market. No
consignments are released for ship-
ment from any plant until an analy‘
sis has been made, not only at the
plant but at the central laboratory at
Utica .

Advertising and Selling “Dairyiea‘”

All sales and advertising activities
have been planned with a view to
increasing the farmers' net return
per hundredweight on raw milk de-
livered. To accomplish this, two
distinctive objectives have been set
up; ﬁrst, better marketing facilities
for ﬂuid milk, and second, better
merchandising of by—products. Grad—
ually, we have been working toward
the time when we will sell a maxi-
mum proportion of our milk directly
to the channels which serve the con-
sumer. By adopting “Dairylea,”
which is applicable to all our pro-
ducts, as our new brand name we
have emphasized our transition from
the bartering stage of collective bar-
gaining into the ﬁeld of propriety
brand merchandising. Because we
know that unbranded merchandise
never commands more than the bulk
market price. we have already taken
steps to co-ordinate our manufactur-
ing and-sales effort so that we pro—
duce nothing but the highest quality
of merchandise worthy of bearing
the League’s brand.

Heretofore, the League has sold
from ﬁfteen cents to seventy cents
below the market due to lack of ad-
vertising and sales snort.-

Ice cream has been advanced ﬁf-
teen cents per gallon above other
dealers within the last few weeks
without loss of business, and it is our
belief that it is only a question of
time when all other by-products of
the association will bring the highest
market price to which their high
quality entitles them. In order to
get the full value of our cheese oper-
ations, however, it will be necessary
eventually, We believe, to manufac-
ture a high grade package article
under Our own brand.

The export department has made'
distinct improvement in' its ﬁeld. of
operations during the past six
“months. Over 100,000 cases have
been sold since the ﬁrst of January.
A large part of this has been shipped
to Germany, which netted from ﬁve
cents to ﬁfteen cents per case above
' League milk is
now on sale in Germany, England,
South Africa, West Africa, Palestine,
Syria, Cuba, and Panama.

During the coming year we will
have a man in England who will be
in close touch with our heaviest ex-
port markets. and will be in the clos-
est possible touch with the situations
which may be turned to our advant-
age in the above mentioned coun-
tries.

15 Schools Feed Milk Gladly

The bureau of nutrition has been
mainly occupied the past year in in-
augurating in several schools of the
city the program of milk feeding.
The children in ﬁfteen public schools
in the city are now drinking from
one-half pint to one pint “of milk at

. recess time every day.

The results are already beginning
to show that the children thus fed
are better and stronger both physi-
cally and mentally and that the-con-
sumption of milk in the homes of
these children has been increased.

Milk in Tank Cars.

The trafﬁc department has been
experimenting during the past
year with the transportation of
milk in tank cars. If these experia
ments ﬁnally prove successful, it will
probably revolutionize the transport-
ation of uid milk to consuming
centers. The tank which we have
used is built on the idea of a thermos
bottle and requires no ice and it
would do away with the present
method of handling these thousands
of heavy milk cans every day.

Our legal department has seen a
very busy year and has been success—
ful in every stand it has made for
the association. You are» all famil-
iar with the several court decisions
made during the year establishing
the League’s right to do business as
a co-operative association and rec-
ognizing the fairness of its methods.
You are also familiar with the decis-
ions ot the courts establishing the
legality of your pooling contract.
Every suit in which the legality of
the general operations of your asso-
ciatiOn was involved has been decid-
ed by the trial courts in your favor,
and while some of these cases are
now pending in the appellate courts,
your directors have entire conﬁdence
that the judgments already will be
afﬁrmed.

During the ﬁscal year just closed
the gross sales of milk and milk
products made by your association
amounted to $82,130,‘902.17. The
total deduction for certiﬁcates of in—
debtedness for the year amounted to
$4,622,579.76, or ﬁve and three-
ﬁfths percent of the total sales. The
total amount‘of deductions for ad-
ministrative expenses. for the year
was $2,335,192.63, or two and four—
ﬂiths percent of the total amount of
sales.

In the history of mankind are
certain milestones that denote the
time and the place where humanity,
as a whole, took a forward step to-
wards better living conditions, some-
times towards better understanding
of spiritual matters, and sometimes
toward better economic conditions
that vitally aﬂ'ect us. Such a for-
ward step towards better economic
conditions is now being taken
throughout this entire land in the co—
operative marketing movement. We
have been leaders from the start and
we shall never falter.

HOLSTEIN MEN PLANNING
‘ TOURS .
REEDERS of Holsteins are plan-
ning a series of. tours to start
July 24th and to cover 25 of
the main Holstein counties of the
State.T_he.plan is to spend one
day in. each county visiting farms
where matters of Holstein interest
are to be found—a 'boy’s calf, a
prominent sire, a well arranged
barn,‘77a.--iiroﬂtable cow testing associ-
ation bunch, a herd of good individ-
uals, cows with creditable A. R. C. or
semi-ofﬁcial records, etc. The tour—
ists will halt at noon for basket
lunch and a speech or two. Amongst
the corps of speakers secured for the
several counties are D. D. Aitken,
Ex-President of the National Hol-
stein Rsociation; Earl Cooper,
Calf Club leader, and C. M. Long,
manager of Field Work, both of the
Extension Service of the National
Holstein Association; E. L. Smith,
President, and H. W. Norton, Secre-
tary of the State Holstein Associa-
tion; A. C. Anderson, former head
of the Dairy Department ofM. A. C.,
etc.‘ The tours are being arranged
by the local Holstein oﬂicials and the
County Agents in co—operation with
J. G. Hays, the Holstein Field man
for Michigan. Full details will be
announced later, meanwhile Holstein
fans should start grooming the old
ﬂivver for the chase.

MICHIGAN SHORTI—IORN BREED-.
ERS’ ASSOCIATION TOUR
HE three day tour arranged by
the Michigan Shorthorn Breed—
ers’ Association; covering parts
of Ingham, Eaton, Calhoun, Branch,
Hillsdale, Lenawee and Wayne
Counties, proved to be very valuable
to the breeders Who made the trip
and deepened the interest in the
breed along the entire route.

The tour started from the Mich-.

igan Agricultural College, where
their ﬁne herd of Shorthorns and
other breeds of live stock were in-
spected with considerable interest.
The remainder of the day was spent
in Eaton County, visiting the follow-
ing herds: I. P. Zimmerman, Dimon-
dale; Wm. Geisenhafer, Dimondale;
L. P. Otto, Charlotte; and Simpson
Brothers, Charlotte.

The last stop was made at Simp-
son Brothers, Charlotte, where lunch
was served and a number of short
talks given by the breeders and oth-
ers present. The Eaton County
breeders are a live bunch, there be-
ing over twenty cars out and about

eighty people present at the last
stop.
The next morning the hikers

gathered at the Branch County Farm
where a good herd of Polled Short-
horns has been maintained for sever—
al years. From here, J. E. Sander-
son’s herd at Goldwater was inspect-
ed after which the following Hills~
dale County Herds were seen: Ralph
Wheeler, Quincy; Ed. Franks, Mont—
gomery; Wm. ossius, Hillsdale.

During the afternoon a short time
was spent at J. R. Rogers & Sons,
Morenci, dispersal sale of their herd
of Shorthorns. This herd has for
many years been developed along
dual purpose lines and while many
of the cows offered had records of
from eight to eleven thousand
pounds of milk yearly, they, also
showed a blockiness and thickness of
ﬂeshing that was very commendable.
The prices realized were not high,
but good cattle sold where they can
be raised at a proﬁt. R. J. Bidwell’s
herd, Tecumseh, was visited the
same evening, where their sale cat-
tle, sold a few days ago, were in-
spected with considerable interest.

The third day was devoted largely
to Washtenaw County herds. Calls
were made on the following breed-
ers: Ferman Clemens, Saline; Adam
Knapp, Manchester; M. P. ’Ale,
Manchester; Jay Smith, Ann Arbor;
H. W. Hayes, Chelsea; Tl'os. Smith,
Ann Arbor. . _

“ A picnic dinner Was served on the
lawn of Mr. Hayes, after which a.
short meeting was held and talks
given by. Prof. W. E. J. Edwards, An.

Wm. Kelley, Plymouth; , ,
Kelly, Ypsilanti. A great deal of
enthusiasm was shown, fully 140 be-
ing present. During the day more

than thirty cars were in line at one

time. This made quite an impress-
ive array and elicited considerable
comment along the route. Later in
the afternoon, the cavalcade‘ direct-

farm at Dearborn.— On the way a
stop was made to see L. C. Kelly &
Son’s herd at Ypsilanti, who main-
tain herds of Shorthorn and Polled
Shorthorns.

The visit to Ford’s farm was of
particular interest. Mr. Ford pur-
chased the' DeGarmo, Highland,
Michigan, herd, last fall. Practic-
ally all of these cattle are of Duchess
breeding and it is understood that
Mr. Ford plans upon developing this
herd still furthur along dual pdrpOse
lines.

Many ﬁne individuals and herds
were seen on this tour, so many that
space will not allow of particular
mention.

The hospitality exhibited by the
breeders visited and the enthusiasm
shown by the large number who
took in the trip demonstrated that
they still have great conﬁdence in
the reds, whites and roans and that

and L. C.‘

solid stones for building the found-
ation of a permanent agriculture.

 

FEEDING TOO “TIDE A RATION

We have a ﬂock of sheep and fed
them all the ensilage they would eat
and cornstalks and hay (clover and
timothy mixed). When the lambs
came they would get the scours
when a’ few hours old and die in two
or three days. What was the cause?
——H. S., Harrison, Mich.

—The trouble which you are having

with your sheep is due to the fact
that you are feeding too wide a. re-
tion, that is, one containing too
much carbohydrate material and not
enough protein material.

With all. the silage they would eat,
cornstalks and mixed hay, the sheep
would eat larger proportion of silage
and would take only a very small
ialmount of the clover from the mixed

ay.

The amount of silage fed to breed-
ing ewes should be limited to not
to exceed two and one—half pounds
per head daily and in addition they
should receive a good amount of
clover or alfalfa hay and a. small
amount of grain for the last thirty
days preceding lambing.

As a grain ration, there is noth-
ing better than oats, which should
be fed to the extent of one-half
pound per head daily.—Geo. A.
Brown, Professor of Animal Hus-

bandry, M. A. C.

CRSE OF MASTITIS

I have a cow which came in about
one week ago. From the ﬁrst there
was something wrong with one of
her front teats. When milking this
teat gave only two or three squirts
at a time. In about ten minutes she
would give a little more. Her teat
does not seem to be soft and spongy
like the rest and a hard tube has
formed inside of the teat. There is
also a small bunch where the tube
goes up into her bag. The bag is
also a. little bit caked‘ in the quarter
where the sore teat is. She gives
about twelve quarts of milk from the
other three. I have tried a milk
tube but it doesn’t help. Will be
much obliged for any information on
what to do for hen—W. G., LeRoy,
Michigan.

—I am very much afraid that the
cow will lose the teat. You have
a case of mastitis where treatment
will do very little good. When the
teat canal becomes thickened pad the
quarter gives but little milk treat-
ment is usually very unsatisfactory.
The milk glands of the attested quar-
ter change into connective tissues
so that they do not function any
more and there is no treatment that
will restore them to a normal con-
ditlon again. The best thing per—
haps that you can do is to dry the
quarter up as soon as possible.
Should you decide to try treatment
I would suggest that you put the case
in the hands of a. competent veterin-
arian who can give the case his per—
sonal attention—J. P. Hutton, As-
sociate Professor of Surgery and
Medicine, M. A; C.

FARM MECHANICS

 

‘

STORING DYNAMITE

NE of the most serious problems
to the farmer who is anxious
to make use of dynamite as a
labor-saving device on the farm is
the question of the safe storage of
his explosives and accessories.
Where only a small amount of ex-
plosives is used from time to time,
and where a dealer is conveniently
located who has storage facilities, it
is probably best to buy only the
quantity of explosives required for
the day's work. Of course, the
dealer charges a proﬁt on his ex—
plosives sales so that the farmer in
this case has to pay part of the deal-
er's storage charges. If the farm is
large enough to support a magazine
of its own, the farm owner can save
a considerable amount on his explo-
sives by building a small magazine
at a safe distance away from roads
and'dwellings where the dynamite
can be kept under lock and key and
where'it will be protected from fire
and ﬂying bullets.

Neither dynamite n‘or detonators,
which latter term includes both
blasting caps and electric blasting
caps, should be kept in any dwelling
house whatever. Neither should the
blasting caps or electric blasting caps
be stored in the same building with
dynamite. It must never be forgot—
ten that it is in the combination of
the two that the greatest storage
hazard exists. It dynamite alone
is set on ﬁre, it generally burns up
peacefully without exploding. and
While the caps would explode if they
were in a burning building, the dam-
age that they would do is relatively
small as their action is very local.
However, if dynamite and caps stor-

, ed together should take ﬁre, the ex-

ploding caps would detonate the
dynamite which would do an im-
mense amount of damage. The only.
other way of exploding dynamite is
to ﬁre a. riﬂe or pistol bullet into it.
Therefore the dynamite should be
stored in a. place where a stray bullet
cannot penetrate. '

Dry storage is necessary for both
and explosives. Moisture is
bound -’to spoil dynamite in time.
Therefore dynamite should never be
stored in a dug—out. cellar, or under-
, our room at any kind.

_  line-ﬁeld injunction
. to heap  powder dry applies With
equal force to twentieth century
high explosives and blasting caps as
it'dld to the black powder or Crom-

It is hardly necessary to add that
dynamite anddetonators should be
kept under lock and key at that. as it

gives one an. uncomfortable feeling ’

to have dynamite stolen, and it is
certainly not a safe plaything for
children. _
Care should also be taken to keep
dynamite out of the reach of cattle,
as it has a sweetish taste which cat-
tle seem to like, but dynamite should
be labeled “for external use only”.
Taken internally, it is decidedly
poisonous—Arthur LaMotte, Mgr.

EXPERT EXPLAINS WHAT , IS
HAPPENING IN SUGAR MARKET
(Continued from Page 4)

Cuba exceeds one billiOn dollars and
that they own four and one—half mil-
lion acres of cane land capable of
producing 11,000,000 tons of sugar
annually when all of it shall have
been planted. The Sugar Trust
alone now producing 180,000 tons of
raw sugar in Cuba, owns no less than

32,000 acres of virgin tropical cane .

land. It thus will be seen that the
bulk of the proﬁt arising from the
present sugar gouge is ﬁnding its
way to the plethoric pockets of our
seaboard reﬁners who would not dare

unduly to increase the margin be-,

tween raw and reﬁned for fear of
our anti-trust and trade regulatory
laws.‘ But owning sugar estates in
Cuba they can without fear, raise
the price of raw sugar at will, mak-
ing their inordinate proﬁts out of
production instead of reﬁning in

America and snap their ﬁngers at‘

our Department of Justice.
Cuba Produces Sugar at Lower Cost

By reason of various local condi-
tions which prevail in Cuba, that is-

land produces sugar at a lower cost ,
than it can be produced at home. in .
our insular possessions, or elsewhere ‘
in the world and hence a reasonable ‘
duty must be maintained on sugar .
if the domestic industry is to con- :
The removal of this 1'
duty is the measure for which the E

tinue to exist.

reﬁners have been persistently work—
ing for more than 20 years. With
the removal of this duty the sea—
board reﬁners would be able to
“dump” Cuban sugar onto our mar-
ket, at so low a price as to destroy
the domestic industry in one season,
after which with no competition to
fear, they could raise the price at,
will. The price the American people
would have to pay for sugar can be
judged by the price which now pro-
vails and the price which prevailed
in 1920 when they pegged the price
of raw sugar at 2c per 1b. f. o. 1).
Cuba.

In the United States we have suf—
ﬁcient sugar beet area from which
to produce the sugar of the world
but we produce at home only about
two-ﬁfths of the sugar we consume;
importing the balance from Cuba
which is beyond the reach of our
trade regulatory laws.

The extra $222,000,000 which the
present sugar gouge is ’costing the
American people is a sufﬁcient sum
with which to erect nearly 200 one-
thousand ton beet sugar factories
with a capacity of producing 2,000,—
000 tons of sugar at year. Not only
Would this insure the American
people against future sugar gouges,
but under normal conditions of 6c
sugar and $6.00 beets the 17,000,000
tons of beets required to make this
2,000,000 tons of sugar would an—
nually turn $102,000,000 into the
pockets of American owners instead
of its going to the exploiters of Cuba
who never miss an opportunity of
robbing the American people.

However, much or little sugar we
produce at home, American produc—
ers, dealers and speculators all are
amenable to every United States law
which has been or which may be
enacted to protect consumers from
extortion. The solution of the sugar
question would appear to be plain.

HENS GET LAME AND nnoorr.
AND THEN DIE

My hens get lame and droopy and
then‘ die. I, thought you could print
in the Business Farmer what would

be good for them.-——Mrs. M. S., Har-'

risenville, Mich.

——Lameness and droopiness are com-
mon manifestications ofvarious dis-
eases. For this reason it is difﬁcult
to make an accurate diagnosis on-the’
basis of symptoms alone. The— fact
that there are a. number so involved
in the ﬂock would indicate the
once of disease.

Lameness is one of the clinical,

symptoms of Tuberculosis. Fowls may
have this infection for a long time
Without showing any external symp-
toms. The following symptoms,
however, are present in SE) aﬁected
birds: Emaciation, leg weakness, or
lameness, pale comb and ,wattles,
ruffled feathers, and ﬁnally droopi-
ness. The appetite of the fowl us-
ually ’remains good until shortly be-
fore death. Upon opening the af-
fected birds, the liver in many cases
will appear "spotted with white no-
dutes or areas. The fact that les—
ions are present, however, is not al-
ways an indication of Tuberculosis
and for‘ this reason it sometimes re-
quires a laboratory examination to
make sure of diagnosis.

Practically all domesticated birds
are more or less susceptable to this
trouble and the healthy birds should
not be exposed to the affected stock.
The germs are disseminated thru
droppings which contaminate the
premises, food, and drinking water,
thus communicating the infection to
other birds. .

In preventative treatment, the
houses should be maintained in as
sanitary a condition as possible.
Dropping boards should be used and
plenty of light and ventilation sup-
plied. It has been the writer's ex-
perience on many extention trips
throughout the State, that this dis-
ease prevails more commonly where
dirt ﬂoors are in use and Where drop-
ping boards are absent.

Thorough cleaning and disinfect-
ing is of course, necessary in control-
ing this disease. Sunlight should be
made possible in the yards and
houses and lime should be liberally
used in the runways in the cleaning
up process. The young stock should
be raised away from the parent ﬂock
because this disease is not transmit-
ted thru the egg and if a high 111 -
tality results in the parent ﬂock" he

young stock can be raised, a. new
soil absolutely free from this
trouble. '

It may be necessary to dispose of
the entire old ﬂock and‘allowing the
poultry houses and yards to remain
unused until the disease is thorough—
ly cleaned up. A reliable disinfect-

ant used in a three or ﬁve per cent,
solution should be liberally applied.

The drinking utensils, roosts, ﬂoors,
hoppers, etc., should also be thor-
oughly soaked with disinfectant. The
young stock can be introduced after
a thorough disinfecting of the house
and yards, with the assurance that
further trouble will seldom break
out if sanitary conditions prevail.—

HOW TO. SET A TRAP FOR
- \VEASELS - .
AST year during my dinner hour
a litter of weasels attacked and
killed about half my ‘ﬁock of
turkeys and this is the way we
caught them: ’

We shot two and ﬁve of them we
caught in a. trap. 'I found three of
the little dead turkeys after they had
made their raid and one I used for
bait and two I tied in a sack. This
is the way I set the trap: I saw a.
weasel in an old smoke house where
I had a hen setting in a box. There
was a hole under the sill that they
used for a runway so I drove a. stick
about eighteen inches long in the
ground near the sill and set my trap
between the stick and sill and tied,
the little turkeys feet to the top of
the stick, allowing the head to hang
eight or ten inches above the ground.
The weasel will rare to get his prey.
Hens cautious not to get in the trap
when he goes up but When he comes
down he is not watching where he
lands. Of course the trap ustbe
set on the side of the stick Where the
head hangs down. With the three
little turkeys and a. sparrow I caught»
four in this place. I placed a. loose
coil of old barbed wire around the
stick to keep out the poultry. The
seventh one I caught in the chicken
house. Upon noticing a commotion
among the chickens at roosting time
I went out there.
house I saw a dead chicken and
caught the scent of a weasel. I us-
ed just the head and all' the neck and
set the trap same as before except
that I leaned boards up around the
trap leaving spaces at the bottom
for weasels to get in.—M. M. 0.

FRUIT and O‘RCHAR

EDITED BY FRANK D. WELLS
' a i —
NOTES AND COMMENTS
Some good varieties of black sweet
cherries are wanted for Southern Michi-
gan. Of all fruits suitable to this cli-
mate, the black cherry is the hardest
tree to grow. It persists in dying at the
slightest provocation, or with ap-
parently no excuse at all. No better
service could be done the horticulture
of this section than to discover some
variety that will be satisfactory. Who
knows of some seedlings that are proud-
ising?
II I. t
The peach may be budded on either
peach or plum stock, and grow. At one
time the plum was used because it was
supposed to be hardy, so was a point
for the tree agent with an easy con-
science. But the tree is slow in growing
and never really does well, so most nurs-
erymen have abandoned the plum for this
purpose, the peach stock being so much
more desirable. But‘ it still remains a.
talking point for some salesmen.

O U 0

There is a. small demand for plum
grafted on peach stock. _-For orchards on

. light soil that are to. be grown in a. r
hurry this kind of a tree may be of usc,,_ f-

but is short-lived. On heavy soil, which
is best ﬁtted for the plum. a. tree on

Wheat is a sore spot with agriculture and has been constanﬂy growing-
. .wol'se since the termination of the war. Wheat prices, this spring, have been
" averaging close to $1.20 compared with $1.35 for the corresponding months a'
_ yearago and $1.70 two years ago. '
, Acreage this season was reduced ﬁve and one-half per cent from last year
’and June forecasts indicate production ﬁve per cent under 1922 and two per cent
less than the 1917-22 average. '

Of the 1920 crop, 44 per cent was sent abroad; the 1921 crop, 34 per cent;
and by June 30, 1923, the exports of the 1922 crop will probably show about
26 per cent. _

The coming crop will face moreserious competition abroad if Broomhall’s
prediction of increased EurOpean production (Russia included) this year is
correct. 'Canada’s output also promises to be as large as the record of last

season. lndia has produced an exportable surplus of ﬁfty million bushels over

1922. I
Eﬂ'orts are under way to stimulatedomestic wheat consumption which has

been declining. Per capita consumption around 1840 averaged 3.8 bushels;
around 1880, 4.9 bushels; and 1910, 5.6 bushels. From this high point it has
fallen to 4.8 bushels for the four year average 1919-22 and 4.5 bushels for 1922.

Exports to the extent of 20 per cent of the crop and per capita consumptl

Fat hogs are now around $7.00 compared with $10.50 a year previou‘
There is a surplus of about 12 per cent above last year's production to '

the pork output, are now running 40 per cent higher than the corresponding:
months in 1922. ' ' 1' 3

Per capita consumption of pork for four post-war years averages 71 pounds
compared with 72 for four pre-war years. Per capita consumption of beef, "
however, has been declining, the average since the war running at 59 pounds
compared with 75 pre-war. The livestock industry has laid plans for a campaign

Prices of farm products are 5 per cent higher than a year ago and food '7
prices 4 per cent higher. This compares with an increase of 15 per cent for
clothing; 28 per cent for metals; and 26 per cent for building materials. The .
purchasing power ﬁgure for farm products in terms of all commodities is 70,-

which is 5 less than the corresponding month last year.

BY W. W. FOOTE.

 Advertising Michigan mu
‘_ roman: Agricultural College
is planning a campaign to
bring .the famous fruits and

  

'well known and highly regarded in
this part of the country. Its near-
ness to Chicago, Milwaukee and
other. cities and Lake Michigan
steamers render the peaches, straw-
berries, plums, cherries, etc., easily
obtainable; to say nothing of the
delicious Michigan grapes, which
since the prohibibtion amendment to

the UnitedStates constitution have,

been even more» popular than hereto—
fore. Michigan’s need is to identify
its products, and a campaign of ad-
vertising may be expected to be of
material help.
Duluth Rye in Chicago

A cargo of 240,000 bushels of Du-
luth rye has been unloaded in Chi-
cago, and another cargo of 280,000
bushels .was shipped there a little
later. A large acreage was devoted
to rye in the United States last year,
the main object in view with most
farmers being to meet the expected
big European demand. Unfortun-
ately, the foreign outlet failed to
equal the surplus supply, and prices
July rye
selling a short time ago 26 cents be-
low the high time of the season.
The tall in prices started up a fresh
foreign demand, and Norway bought
in a recent day 500,000 bushels at
a very low price. Rye is now being
substituted for corn as stock feed,
it being cheaper than corn, with the
visible corn supply of insigniﬁcant
proportions, while rye stocks in sight

~ a short time ago aggregated 15,420,-

000 bushels, comparing with only
2,580,000 bushels a year ago. The
while the visible corn supply at the
same date was down to 3,165,000
bushels, comparing with 31,326,000
bushels a year ago. Germany is the
principal buyer of our surplus rye,
but up to a short time ago that coun-

‘ try had imported 70,000,000 bushels

'= less than we expected.

Bye for July
delivery sells in the Chicago market
at 63 cents, comparing with 851/2
cents a year ago.
The Fall in Wheat
Extremely sensational declines
have taken place in wheat prices in

7 recent weeks, sales for July delivery

in the Chicago market being made

1 close to $1 per bushele—the lowest
, prices touched in a very long time

and too low a ﬁgure to. make grow-
ing this cereal at all proﬁtable for

farmers. A marked falling off in

speculative trading is generally un-

. derstood to be the main cause of the

cheapness of wheat, sales being made
at much lower prices than in recent
years. It has gone well below. the
prices of one year ago, while it is
far OK as compared with other years,
[having sold a little more than two
years ago around $1.33. _ Naturally,
crop conditions exert their inﬂuence
in establishing prices for wheat. nut
the prospective foreign demand 13
probably a more powerful factor.
Owing to the fluctuations in foreign
money values and other conditions
abroad, Europe is to buy a month 3
supply of wheat at a time, instead

of two months’ as of late. This will

cut out purchases of around 50,000,.-
000 bushels per month in the world’s
markets, it is estimated, and it prom-
ises to be a highly important factor
in depressing prices. Little that

’ was not already known was brought

out by the recent wheat conference
in Chicago. Wheat harvestlng 1S

were made of July wheat at $1.02,
comparing with $1.14% a year ago;
July corn at 7 8% cents, comparing
with 02 cents last year; and July
oats at 40% cents, comparing..wifh

Hogs Go Up and Down

Fluctuations in hog prices of late
have been greater than usual, with
rather sharp advances at times when
the receipts fell off materially, fol-
lowed by as severe declines when
higher values brought in much larger
supplies. According to all accounts,
plenty of swine are left in feeding
districts, and the tendency is to get
them marketed whenever prices un-
dergo ~ any considerable advance.
Eastern shippers are large buyers on
some days, thus far their operations
have not been large enough from one
week to another to maintain prices
on a higher level. In short, exist-
ing conditions show no marked
change, with the average quality of
the Chicago market receipts much
poorer than several weeks ago and a
consequent widening out of prices,
the bulk of the sales showing a
spread of 75 cents per 100 pounds.
Consumption of fresh and cured hog
products continue on an extremely
large scale, with especially heavy
sales of lard, stocks of which are far
from large. Still, prices of lard are
lower than last year, and cured hog
meats are far lower, with weekly ex-
ports of provisions greatly ahead of
a year earlier. Grass hogs are com-
prising increasing proportions of the
marketings, and they sell at a big
discount. _ The recent appearance of
cool weather meant a great deal to
farmers who were marketing their
hogs, as the previous extremely .hot
spell was hard on hogs in transit,
large numbers of dead hogs being
taken from the stock trains arriving
in the Chicago stock yards. Chicago
received last week 215,096 hogs,
comparing with 184,713 a week!
earlier'and 177,493 a year ago. Com-
bined receipts in twenty markets for
the year to late date aggregate 21,-
707,000 hogs, comparing with 16,-
956,000 for the same time last year.
There were late sales in Chicago of
hogs at $5.80 to $7.25, the top be-
ing 20 cents lower than a week ear.
lier and comparing with $11 a year
ago. Light hogs sold highest, with
the best heavy butchers a dime un-
der them.

Grass Cattle Go Lower

As the season advances grassy
cattle comprise an increasing propor-
tion of the receipts in western mar-
kets, and Chicago is getting its share
of these, the result being the usual
decline in prices. The cattle receipts
have been reaching generous propor—
tions, and the declining percentage
of good corn-fed beeves has made
them sell very well, although they
had to go at generally lower prices
than during the previous ‘ week.
Even prime cattle sold lower as a
rule, hile yearlings of all kinds
sold 11: terially lower. Weather con-
ditions had a great deal to do with
the market, the terriﬁc heat of sev-
eral days causing a great falling off
in the consumption of beef, followed
by increased consumption afterit
turned cool. The week’s top price,
$10.40 was paid on Monday for
being a dime
lower than ' the highest’ price paid.
during the previous week. Fat",
butcher stock was sold much better
than grassy cows and heifers, being
in good demand, While the latter
were away off, undesirable cattle,‘

  

including steers, being as much as
75 cents lower. There was a small
stocker" and feeder trade, most lots
selling much lower, with the bulk
going at $6.25 to $7.75. The best
beef steers sold after Monday at
$11.10 to $11.20, the bulk of the
steers bringing $8.65 to $10.85 and

good to choice steers being 25 to 40 _

cents lower. Common steers sold at
$6.50 to $7.50, and cows and heifers

brought $4 to $8.50, while canner-

and cutter cows went at $1.50 to
$3.50. Calves brought $4 to $10.75.
A year ago the best beef steers sold
at $10.10 and two years ago at $8.85.
Lambs Scarce and High

The meager. supplies of native
lambs offered on the Chicago mar-
.ket last week sold readily, the desir-
able flocks selling much lower, how-
ever, than a week earlier, while or-
dinary lots sold badly. The main
trouble with the lamb market is the
serious check given to the consump-
tion of mutton because of its dear—
ness. The southern lambs have
been mostly marketed, and western
range ﬂocks have hardly started to
move freely, the season being very
late. A few feeding lambs sell at
$11.75 to $13, and breeding ewes
are taken as fast as offered at $5.50
to $10, yearlings going highest. The
lamb market was ﬁrm at $9 to
$15.75. I

WHEAT

The weakness in the wheat mar-
ket increased during the two weeks
ending June 30 and prices declined.
At Detroit the market closri 9c be-
low what it was on‘the opening a
fortnight before. During the last
week at one time a ﬁrmer tone came
because of the taking of a couple of
million bushels for future export and
for a short time it looked like an end
of the long slump. Probably a ma-
jority of dealers favored higher
prices and the little advance was
well received only to prove a ﬁzzle.
There was not enough buying power
behind the talk‘ of strength to hold
the advance let alone put prices
higher. The market lacks invest-
ment buying and there is not enough
demand to take care of the sales of
new wheat from the southwest. Ev-
erything favors an easy market ex-
cepting the fact that prices are al-

ready too low to give the producer a

proﬁt on his work. New wheat is in
the market competing with the
carry-over from last year’s crops and
oﬂerings are heavy. Other export-
ers are selling to Europe under Am-
erican prices and the market lacks
life. Dealers are greatly discourag-
ed by the long slump and are afraid
it may be a great deal longer. ' The
new winter wheat crop is being har
vested and threshed under favorable
conditions while the spring crop is
growing well with the best of weath—
er. Some of the winter wheat is of
ﬁne quality, but the southWest will
have a great deal of light grain ac-
cording to recent reports from Kan-
sas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. The
new rules under which the grain
trade is to operate have been pub-
lished and appear to amount to noth-
ing much aside from the fact that all
dealings are to be reported and this
is expected to make people a little
more careful about speculating in
case they do not wish their identity
to be known.

- BEANS

The present market for beans is
hard, to understand. In spite of all
indications. that prices should go
higher the Detroit market was con-

tinuously headed downward during

the past two weeks and the total
loss amounts to 90c. Conditions in
the market are practically the same
as they were two weeks ago. Im-
portations continue to come in but
they are not getting the attention
they commanded a few months" ago.
Many of the large dealers of the
state are of the opinion that Michi-

gan beans at $7 or less per hundred- ,

weight are a good buy and state if
price does not go above $7 the old
crop will be well taken care of bo—
fore the harvest this fall. If the
price should go above, and stay
above $7 per hundredweight for a
time they anticipate a carry-over in-
to‘the new crop. While we can not
tell what the trend of the market
will be for the next few weeks we
feel that prices cannot remain at the
present low level for long and we-
hope to see them return to at least
$7 in the near future.

WOOL MARKET

Apathy still characterizes the wool
situation in the West. according to
reports received by the United States
Department of Agriculture from its
ﬁeld representatives. During the
two weeks ended June 23 only a few
small sales have been reported in
Montana, where producers apparent-

. iy are holding ﬁrm or are making ar-

rangements to consign. The same
period has seen practically no sales
of importance in California, either
by growers or dealers, the former be-
ing unwilling to release holdings at
the prices offered while the latter
are not active.

Reports from Wyoming indicate
the existence of a practical dead-
lock, with buyers altering around 43
cents while growers are holding for
45 cents and more. Advices from
Texas report little trading at 40 to

r 45 cent oﬂfers. The various reports
' show that approximately 18 per cent

of the Montana clip, 45 per cent of
the Wyoming clip, 75 per cent of the
California clip, and practically all of
the Washington, Arizona and Utah
clips have been sold or shipped.

IN OKLAHOMA T00!
(Continued from Page 13)

dent of the board is a party candi-
date elected by the people and must
play the game in order to keep in
good standing with the party work-
ers. So whenever a new administra—
tion comes in the resulting political
earthquake is felt to the uttormost
conﬁnes of the appointive power.

There is a general feeling in Okla-
homa, especially among the hamlers,f
that all educational institutionsi
should be taken out of politics. The;
thought is especially strong in regard?
to the agricultural college. But it
cannot be done without amending
the constitution. It is strictly with-
in the law to make a political play-
thing out of‘the seeped job of edu-
cating the boys and girls.

The only remedy is an amendment
to the constitution of the state of
Oklahoma. It should provide that
the governing boards of educational
institutions shall be appointed for
terms so long that a majority of the
members will never go out of oiﬁce
during the administration of any one
governor, that no governor shall
have power to remove them except
with the consent of the legislature
itself, and that these board members
shall have no job except that of mak-
ing good schools.

The wording of the amendment is
immaterial. Its purpose 8 "n o u l d
be plainly to take the schools en—
tirely out of politics and keep Uigm
out.

If such a result can come, the
present upheaval in the administra-
tion of the state schools in Oklahoma
will be thoroughly worth while.—
The Oklahoma Farmer-Stockmztn.
