. JUDGE AT DAIRY SHOW'
T the recent National Dairy Show
held at Syracuse, New York it
was a Michigan boy that proved

* to be the best college student judge

of dairy cattle. Competing against
87 of the best college student judges

'in the country, Charles D. Miller, of

Eaton Rapids, stood ﬁrst with both
Holstein and Jersey cattle and rank-
ed high enough with the other
breeds to win ﬁrst place with the
highest percentage ever turned in at
The Michigan Agricul-
tural team. of which Miller .was a
member, ﬁnished in seventh position.

While M. A. C. teams have stood
high before in the national. competi-
tion, this. is the ﬁrst time“ that the
premier honors among individuals
have been brought Back to the state.

The Michigan club boys judging
team also won high laurels at the
big show ﬁnishing third among 20
teams from states scattered all over
the country, Illinois and Connecti-
cut won ﬁrst and second places, re-
spectively.

The Michigan team was composed
of James Gallup of Gaastra, Iron
county; Starr Norﬁup, Northville,
Wayne county; Rolland Stein, Ann
Arbor, ‘Washtenaw county; and
Glenn Livermore, Romeo, Macomb
county. A ﬁtting team at the same
show was composed of Wayne Clark,
of Sand Creek, Lenawee; and Har-
land Andrews, of Adrain, Lenawee
county. , '

Michigan Dealer Reviews Trend of Prices On 1922 Crop and Declares Conditions Warrant
Opposite Trend This Year

ERY few business men manifest
an interest 'in the past of any
commodity except in so far as
what has happened may have an in-
ﬂuence on, or contain a basis for,
drawing an opinion as to what to
expect in the future. Accordingly,
before we make any statements as
to market conditions for the present
and future, we. think it advisable to
hurriedly review what happened in
a marked way on the 1922 crop.
The 1922 acreage showed consider-
able increase over 1921; growing
conditions were favorable right up
until harvest time. In fact, a small
percentage, possibly 15 per cent of
the crop, was harvested under ideal
conditions. Then, covering the period
between September 1 and September
19, we had intermittent heavy rains.
The rainfall at Saginaw, approxi-
mating 5 per cent, during this period
is typical of the entire state. There
were not long enough dry periods
between the rains to enable the
farmers to take their crop off the
ﬁdd; after the 19th there were no
rains and it was then that the beans
were harvested.

With the ﬁrst few deliveries the
market declined very rapidly; prices
to 'the grower reached as low as
$3.75 and prices to the trade as low
as $4.50. The trade “tasted blood"
of the new beans, and accordingly
demand started. Everything was
held up during. the period of rains,
and for three weeks .virtually no-
thing was sold; by that time de-
mand, particularly for high price
futures and due to the fact that the
old stocks had been reducedeto the
minimum by the buying trade on
account of the extremely high prices
of the summer of 1921., was extreme-
lyheavy.

Elevators Over-paid Growers

The Michigan elevators overpaid
the grower; that is, they paid the
farmer more than the market would
warrant on the particular day that
they bought the beans. The only
way, therefore, that they could real-
ize a proﬁt on their purchases was to
force the market higher. Accord-
ingly, we experienced a decided ad-
vance up until the ﬁrst of the year.
By January 1, 1922, prices averaged
as high as they did any time during
the year. Of course all of the ele-
vators, and farmers remember what
happened a year previbus, when dur-
ing June and July prices advanced

By, B. A.

to approximately $101in Michigan.
Elevators, accordingly, carried more
beans than they should have, and
the growers in turn retained on the
farm a large percentage of the beans
which they raised, in hopes that the
spring and summer of 1922 would
show a repetition of 1921. What
happened?

Prices being forced so high early
reduced consumption of Michigan
beans and invited the importation of
Romanians and Kotenashis. These
were brought in in large quantities
and offered at a price suﬂicient un-
der Michigan to get-the business,
particularly along the Atlantic Sea—
board. A good many cars of Dan—
ubians were consigned to interior
markets where even when they were
not sold acted as a club over con-
sumption and caused the buyers to
purchase domestic beans very cau-
tiously. As the season progressed
and the Michigan shippers com-
menced to realize that beans were
not moving out fast enough to clean
out the old crop before the 1923
crop would be ready, price cutting
started and we had just as marked
a decline as we had an advance
earlier in the season. The whole
situation could be attributed to two
factors; ﬁrst, elevators paying more
to the growers than the beans were
worth on the day they bought them;
second, elevators and growers both
holding for an anticipated advance
in the spring, which was made im-
possible by the reduced consumptibn,
foreign competition and too many
beans.

Whenever a situation like this
arises certain Michigan interests and
brokers start, the cry of manipula—
tion. It is only at times like this

, when you hear of need of advertising

to market the Michigan crop, or of
sales agencies, or some proposed re-
form or another. There was no
manipulation; it simply was due to
the short sighted policy on the part
of the Michigan interests.

Possibilities of 1923 Crop

We now ome down to where we
can view the ossibilities if the 1923
crop more intelligently.

The average acreage is approxi-
mately 23 per cent larger than the
1922, whereas the 1922 acreage was

.—

suck”:

in turn approximately 63 per cent
greater than the 1921. Yields per
acre this year will average no higher
than last year, but the increase in
acreage will give us a million and a
half or two million bushels more
this year as compared to last, or,
reducing this in terms of Michigan
cars, we ought to have this year
around 2,250 to 3,000 cars more
than a year ago.

A number of factors inﬂuencing
this crop can be contrasted to con—
ditions as they existed when the 1 22
crop started to move.

First—~There were not as many
future beans sold this year as there
were a year ago; whereas beans for
September last year were sold at
around $6.50 to $7, this year they
Were sold at $5.50 to $6. Elevators
having them sold, therefore, feel
more like sitting back and waiting
for decline rather than to jump in
and buy hurriedly as they did a year
ago, for then they could even ad-
vance the market over what it was
during September and still have a
handsome proﬁt in their futures.

Second.——-The old crop of beans
in Michigan this year were not
cleaned up as they were last season.
Stocks in the terminal elevators were
not as light this year as they were
last. In addition there were several
hundred cars of imported beans ly-
ing around in different markets
waiting for a sales opportunity and
in addition, the same as last year,
new crop foreign beans, particularly
Kotenashis, are being quoted at at-
tractive prices for deferred shipment.

Third—Demand for beans has not
started as heavily as yet as it did a
year ago, and if beans are delivered
freely by the growers in Michigan
now we could not help but have
considerable decline, for there is
hardly enough demand to take care
of the few beans which have been
delivered to date.

Fourth—Last year over a period

' of approximately nineteen days we

did not have ﬁve consecutive drying
days; this year we had ﬁve consecu-
tive drying days from September 13
to 17 inclusive. During this period
a good percentage of the Michigan
crop was taken care of.-
Fifth.-—-—-This year as contrasted to
last, both the elevators and growers

realized that there is an extremely
big crop of beans, and notwithstand-
ing the damage from dry weather
during the summer and damage
from rains during harvest we will
have a big crop of Michigan beans
to market.

Sixth—Both growers and eleva-
tors also realize that if prices get
above $5.50 to $6 we will again be
inviting heavy importation of import-
ed beans, which will naturally re-
sult in reducing the consumption of
domestic varieties.

Seventh—Last year there were
substitution of White beans in agood
many markets (which prefer to use
pintos) on account of the extremely
short pinto crop, and resultant high
prices on the Colorado and New Mex-

ico product. This year pintos in-

Colorado and New Mexico have been
growing under almost ideal condi-
tions and the shippers there believe
they will have approximately three
times as many beans as they did a
year ago.

Eighth—Michigan bean men, par-
ticularly the jobbers, realize that
there is considerable big acreage of
white beans being raised this year in
Idaho and Montana. They also real—
ize that the production of small
whites in Colorado is approximately
the same as it was a year ago, where-
as there is a considerable increase
in the production of large whites.

Ninth—The elevators realize that
the quality of the Michigan beans
this year will approximate that of
last.

As we sit down and review the
above contrast we cannot help but
believe that the trend of the market
this year will be just about the 0p—
posite of what it was a year ago.
In other words, we look for lower
prices to rule between now and say
February 1, and higher prices after
that date. We are hesitant, how-
ever, about making any deﬁnite pre-
dictions, for there are approximately
40 to 50 per cent of the Michigan
beans still unsecured, and weather
will have considerable bearing as
to the condition in which these are
harvested. We believe ﬁrmly, how-
ever, that the trade would not rush
in and buy beans on an advancing
market; on the other hand, we be-
lieve that if Michigan prices are held
at a reasonable basis there will be
absolutely no difficulty in marketing
our bean crop at fair prices. By
fair prices we have in mind $56
5.50 Michigan.

Price Fixing By the Government Holds No Hope for Wheat Farmers

EMAND has developed in some of

the Wheat sections for the Unit—

ed States Government to set a
ﬁxed price for wheat. In the minds
of those who desire it, this usually
means a guaranteed minimum price.
If the natural price set by supply
and demand was below the guaran-
teed price, the Government would
purchase and store enough wheat to
bring the natural price up to level
of the guaranteed price. If it was
necessary for the Government to dis-

pose of its purchases at a loss, the-

deﬁcit would be met out of taxation.
The guaranteed price, according to
its proponents, would be based on
cost of production plus .a proﬁt.
Costs of production vary. If m
age costs were used as a basis,
only a little over half of the farms
would receive a fair proﬁt. Pre-
sumably the price would be adequate
to cover the costs of the bulk of the
producers, say 75 to. 80 percent.
.. z  producers would be

ﬁxed price, namely, the Dakotas and
Minnesota. They are among the
states where cost of production per
bushel are likely to be high because
yield per acre is likely to be low.
Yield per acre is the biggest factor
in determining costs per bushel.

The guaranteed price might be put
Just high enough to induce the grow-
ing of the proper volume of wheat.
This would yield a proﬁt to the low
cost producers but would not satisfy
the high cost producers who are the
ones demanding the ﬁxed price.

A guaranteed price to be of any
beneﬁt to those who want it, would
most certainly be higher than the
present price a (1 would cause addi-
tional planting en it is generally

_ agreed that there is already excess

production and 'that_there must be a
readjustment of farming which will
include a smauer wheat acreage.

Penalty for Over-production
Some proboscis meet the certainty

of overproduction by including a pen-
cers in», the form of a

  
 

the carryover. One such plan pro-
poses:

1. A minimum or base price cal-
culated in advance of each crop sea—
son for the four crops-wheat, corn,
oats and cotton—according to the
ﬁxed formula: -

Average general price index num-
ber 1906—1914 divided by average
price of crop 1916-1915 equals.

Average general index number in
year of production divided by X
(base or minimum price).

2. A corporation chartered by the
Federal Government for the purpose
of buying any amount of each com—
modity offered for sale to it at the
base price.

3. A tariff adjusted to prevent
the import of each commodity to sell
below the base price.

4. All sales for export to be made.
or controlled by the corporation.

5. The funds to ﬁnance the opera-
tions of the corporation to ,be ob-
tained by a loan or tax contributed
pro rate by each bushel orbale, etc.,
of each crop when and as sold by
 »

  
  

 

 

6. The tax. to be collected under
and required by federal statute and
the collections to be turned over to
the corporation by the Government,

7. The size of the tax to be an-
nounced before planting season of
the crop on which it will be as—
sessed and to depend upon the size
of the carryover from the previous
crop. '

Another plan, in the words of the
proposer, is stated as follows:

“Granting that we need 600,000,-
000 bushels of Wheat 3. year to take
care of our domestic requirements

     
 
      

   

and possibly a small exportable sur— .

plus, I have ascertained that about
45,000,000 acres will, one year with
another, produce this amount. ’1
“Now my idea is to have, the Gov-
ernment say that it will buy what-a
ever surplus there is from this acre-
age a... let us say for illustration,
$1.75. I Then for every 200,000 acres

 Members of Maple River Parish Could Not Afford to Hire Pastor So They-Purchased Radio

EVERAL different times we have
read articles regarding radio in
which ministers have been

noted as saying that radio was the

services over their radio

ministers are rather
short—sighted and I
think they would admit
as much if they visited
some Sunday a little

southwest of
Owosso, Michigan.
The Maple River
church was organized
eight years ago on the
community basis under
the control of the Ma—

ﬁle out. However, in spite of the few '

shortcomings, the Maple River Par-
ish claim they
were well pleased
' with what they
heard. At the con-
clusion of the ﬁrst
radio sermon one
of the members
was asked by an
outsider how the
congregation liked
it and he replied,
“We enjoyed the
service very much

and I shouldn’t
wonder if we’d
continue. It costs

awhole lot less to maintain a radio '

set that to hire a good minister."

E: HEN will the dollar be worth

That was the problem for the
solution. of which I went to George
E. Roberts, vice—president of the
-National City Bank of New York.
; formerly Director of the United
States Mint under ﬁve administra—
 tions and internationally famous as
"'5 an economist.
5,, I put my question to him in this
i‘ fashion: “According to the ﬁnancial
hauthorities the dollar is now about
60 points above pro—war par or, in
, other words, it takes $1.60 today to
 buy what you could buy for a dollar
3 in 1914. When is a dollar going to
be worth a dollar again?”

Must Produce
“When We produce enough goods
to restore the balance,” replied Mr.
Roberts promptly. “Money is sim—
ply a measure of production and the
answer to high prices is simply- pro—
duce more goods.”
“‘13 there not a limit? Is there not
a point at which we reach over—pro—

“Well,” I persisted, “what do peo-
ple mean when they talk about over—
production?" »

“They mean that production is
not properly balanced, that labor is
not properly distributed. They mean
that too many people are engaged
in one industry and too few in an-
other. During the war prices of
everything went up fairly evenly be-
cause there was a huge demand for
practically every commodity. But
prices have not come down evenly
because the demand for some things
has been greater than that for oth—
ers. The farmer has suffered be-
cause agriculture was the ﬁrst in-
dustry to get back on its feet in
Europe and that was at once reﬂect—
ed in a falling off in demand for
American farm products.

bright. Her cheeks showed two little
red spots. She carried herself with mani-
fest importance.

“If you'll just excuse me a. minute,"
she apologized to Mr. Smith, as she swept
by him and opened a door across the
room, nearly closing it behind her.

ctly then, from beyond the imper-
fectlycloseddoor,cametotheea.rso:f
Benny and Mr. Smith these words. in
Mrs. Blaisdell’s most excited accents:—

"Mellicent, it‘s Carl Pennock. He
wants you to go auto—riding with him
down to the Lake with Katie Moore and
that crowd.”

"Mother!" breathed an ecstatic voice.

What followed Mr. Smith did not hear,
for a nearer, yet more excited, voice de-
manded attention.

“Gee! Carl Pennockl" whispered Benny
hoarsely. "Whew! Won’t my sister Bess

pressive glance toward the hall, Mr,
Smith tried to stop further revelations:
but Benny was not to be silenced.

“They're rich——awful rich—the Pen-
nocks are,” he confided still more husk-
ily. “An' there’s a girl—Gussie. She's
gone on Fred. He's my brother. ye
know. He’s seventeen; an’ Be is mad
’cause she isn't seventeen, too, so she

does. She'll be madder‘n ever now, if
Mell goes auto—riding with Carl, an’~—"

“Sh-h !” So imperative were Mr. Smith's
voice and gesture this time that Benny
fell back subdued.

.At once then became distinctly aud-
ible again the voices from the other
room. Mr. Smith forced to hear in spite
ofhknselthadtheairofonewhoﬂnds
he has abandoned the trying pan for the
ﬁre.

“No, dear, it's quite out of the ques-
tion,” came from beyond the door, in
Mrs. Blaisdell’s voice. “I can’t let you
wear your pink. You will wear the blue
or stay at home. Just as you choose.”

“But mother, dear, it’s all out of date,“
walled a young girl’s voice. ‘

"I can’t help that. It's perfectly
whole and neat. and you must save the
pink for best.“

_“But I’m always saving things for
best, mother and I never wear my but.
I never wear a thing when it’s in style!

Don't you think I want you to be as
well—dressed as anybody, if we could
afford it? Cane. I’m watmig. You must
wear the blue or stay at home. What
shall I tell him?‘

There was a pause. then there came
an inarticulate word and a choking half-
sob. The next umment the door opened
and Mrs. Blaisdell appeared. The pink
spots in her cheeks had deepened. She
shut the door ﬁrmly, then hurried thru
the room to the hall beyond. Another
minute and she was back in her chair.

“There,” she smiled pleasantly. “I‘m
ready now to talk business, Mr. Smith."

And she talked business. She stated
plainly what she expected to do for her
boarder, and what she expected her
boarder would do for her. She enlarged
upon the advantages and minimized the
discomforts, with the aid of a word now
and then from the eager interested
Benny.

Mr. Smith, on his part, had little to
say. That that little was most satis-
factory, however, was very evident; for
Mrs. Blaisdell was soon quite glowing
with pride and pleasure. Mr. Smith was
not glowing. He was plainly ill at ease,
and, at times, slightly abstracted. His
eyes frequently sought the door whidl
Mrs. Blaisdel! had closed so ﬁrmly a
short time before. They were still turned
in that direction when suddenly the door
opened and a young girl appeared.

She was a slim little girl with long-
1ashed star—like eyes and a wild—rose
ﬂush in her cheeks. Beneath her trim
hat her light brown hair waved softly
over her ears, glinting into gold where
the light struck it. She looked excited

and pleased, yet not quite happy. She.

wore a blue dress, plainly made.

“Don‘t stay late. Be in before ten.
dear," cautioned Mrs. Blaisdell. “And
Mellicent, just a minute, dear. This is
Mr. Smith. You might as well meet him
now. He’s coming here to live—to board,
you know. My daughter. Mr. Smith."

Mr. Smith, already on his feet, bowed
and murmured a conventional something.
From the starlike eyes he received a
ﬂeeting glance that made him suddenly
conscious of his ﬁfty years and the bald
spot on the top of his head. Then the
girl was gone, and her mother was

meshing again.

“She’s going auto-riding—Mellicent is
with a young man, Carl Pennock—one of

eighteen, for all she’s so small. She
favors my mother in looks, but she's got
the Blaisdell nose, though. Oh. and t’was
the Blaisdells you said you were writing
a book about, wasn't it? You don't
mean our Blaisdells, right here in Hill-
erton?"

“I mean all Blaisdells, wherever I ﬁnd
them,” smiled Mr. Smith.

“Dear me! What, us? You mean we'll
be in the book?" Now that the matter
of board had been satisfactorily settled.
Mrs. Blaisdell apperently dared to show
some interest in the book.

“Certainly.”

"You don't say! My, how pleased
Hattie’ll be—my sister—in-law, Jim’s wife.
She just loves to see her name in print-—
parties, and club banquets, and where
she pours, you know. But maybe you
don't take women, too."

"Oh. yes. if they are Blaisdells, or
have married Blaisdells."

"Oh! That's where we'd come in, then.
isn’t it? Mellicent and I? And Frank,
my hquand, he’ll like it, too,—-—if you
tell about the grocery store. And of
course you would. if you told about him.
You'd have to—‘cause that's all there
is to tell. He thinks that’s about all
there is in the world, anyway,—that gro-
cery store. And 'tis a good store, if I
do say it. And there’s his sister, Flora;
and Maggie— But there! Poor Maggie!
She won’t be in it, will she, after all?
She isn't a Blaisdell. and she didn't
marry one. Now that's too bad!"

“Ho! She won't mind." Benny spoke
with conviction. “She’ll just laugh and
say it doesn’t matter; and then Grand-
pa Duif'll ask for his drops or his glasses.
or something, and she'll forget all about
it. She won’t care."

"Yes, I know; but—Poor Maggie! Al-
ways just her luck.” Mrs. Blaisdell
sighed and looked thoughtful. "But
Maggie knows a lot about the Blaisdells,"
she added. brightening; "so she could
tell you lots of things—about“ when they
were little, and all that."

"Yes. But—that isn’t—er" Mr. Smith
hesitated doubtfully, and Mrs. Blaisdell
jmnped into the pause.

“And, really, for that matter, she
knows about us now. too. better than
'most anybody else. Hattie’s always
sending for her, and Flora, too, if they’re
sick, or anything. Poor Maggie! Some-
times I think they actually impose upon
her. And she’s such a good soul, too!
I declare, I never see her but I wish I
could do something for her. But of
course, with my means—But. there!
Here I sin running on as usual. Frank
says I never do know when to stop, when
I get started on something; and of course
you didn’t come here to talk about poor
Maggie. Now 11! go back to business.

"To—marrow. if I may." With some
alacrity Mr. Smith got to his feet. “And

now we must he go and I.
I'm at the Holland House. With your
permission. then, Mrs. Blaisdell. I'll send

up my trunks to-morrow morning. And 

now good-nigth thank you."

"VVhy——but Mr. Smith!" The woman.
too, came to her feet, but her face was
surprised. "Why, you haven't even ‘seen
your room yet! How do you know that
you'll like it?"

“Eh? What? Oh!” Mr. Smith laughed.
There was a quizzical lift to his eye-
brows. “So I haven’t, have I? And
people usually do, don’t they? Well—er
—perhaps I will just take "a look at—
the room, though I’m not worrying any,
I assure you. I've no doubt it will be
quite right," he ﬁnished, as- he followed
Mrs. Blaisdell to a door halfway down
the narrow hall.

Five minutes later, once more on the
street, he was walking home with Benny.
It was Benny who broke the long silence
that had immediately fallen between
them.

“Say, Mr. Smith, I’ll bet ye you'll
never be rich !" ,

Mr. Smith turned with a visible start.

“Eh? What? I’ll never be——W'hat do
you mean, boy?”

Benny gigled cheerfully.

“ ’Cause you paid Aunt Jane what she
asked the very ﬁrst time. Why, Aunt
Jane never expects ter get what she asks,
pa says. She sells him groceries in the
store, sometimes, when Uncle Frank’s
away, ye know. Pa says what she asks
ﬁrst is for practice—just ter get her
hand in; an' she expects ter get beat
down. But you paid it, right off the bat.
Didn’t ye see how tickled Aunt Jane
was, after she’d got over bein' sur—
prised ?”

“Why—-er——really, Benny," murmured
Mr. Smith.

But Benny had yet more to say.

“Oh, yes, sir, you could have saved a

V lot every week, if ye hadn't bit so quick.

An’ that’s Why I say you won't ever
get rich. Savin’ 's what does it, ye know

She says a penny saved ’9 good as two
earned and better than four spent."

"Well, really. indeed!" Mr. Smith
laughed lightly.
there wasn’t much chance for me, doesn't
it?"

“Yes, sir." Benny spoke soberly, and
with evident sympathy. He spoke again,
after a moment, but Mr. Smith did not
seem to hear at once. Mr. Smith was,
not a little abstracted all the way to
Benny's home, though his good—night was
very cheerful at parting. Benny would
have been surprised, indeed. had he
known that Mr. Smith was thinking; not
about his foolishly extravagant agreement
for board, but about a. pair of starry
eyes with wistful lights in them, and a
blue dress, plainly made.

CHAPTER IV

In Search of Some Dates

Very promptly the next morning Mr.
John Smith and his two trunks appeared
at the door of his new boarding~placa
Mrs. Jane Blaisdell welcomed him cor-
dially. She wore a high-necked, long-
sleeved gingham apron this time, which
she neither removed nor apoliglzed for
—-unless her cheerful "You see, mornings
you’ll ﬁnd me in working trim, Mr.
Smith," might be taken for an apology.

Mellicent, her slender young self en-
veloped in a similar apron, was dusting
his room as he entered it. She nodded
absently. with a casual "Good-morning.
Mr. Smith.” as she continued at her
work. Even the placing of the two big
trunks, which the shuffling men brought
in, won from her only a listless glance
or two. Then, without speaking again,
she left the room,» as her mother entered
it.

“There!” Mrs. Blaisdell looked about
her complacently. "With this couch-
bed with its red cover and cushions, and

. all the dressing things moved to the little

room in there, it looks like a real sitting-
room in here, doesn’t it?"

"It certainly does, Mrs. Blaisdell."

"And you had 'em take the trunks in
there. too. That‘s good,” she nodded.
crossing to the door of the small dress—
ing-room beyond. “I thought you would.

Well, I hope you‘ll be real happy with
us, Mr. Smith, and I guess you will.
And you needn't be a mite afraid of
hurting anything. I’ve covered every-
thing with mats and tidies and spreads.”

“Yes, I see." A keen listener would
have noticed an odd something in Mr.
Smith’s voice: but Mrs. Blaisdell ap-
parently noticed nothing.

“Yes, I always do—to save wearing and
soiling, you know. Of course, if we had
money to buy new all the time, it would
be different. But we haven’t. And that's
what I tell Mellicent when she. complains
of so many things to dust and brush.
Now make yourself right at home, Mr.
Smith. Dinner’s at twelve o'clock, and
supper is at six—except in the winter.
We have it earlier then, so's we can go
to bed earlier. Saves gas, you know.
But it's at six now. I do like the long
days, don't you? Well, I'll be oh now,
and let you unpack. As I .said before,
make yourself perfectly at home, per-
fectly at home."

Let alone, Mr. Smith drew a long
breath and looked about him. It was
a pleasant room,, in spite of its cluttered
appearance. There was on old-fashioned
desk for his papers, and the chairs looked
roomy and comfortable. The little dress—
ing-table carried many conveniences, and
the windows of both rooms looked out
upon the green of the common.

"Oh, well, I don't know. This might '

be lots worse—in spite of the tidiesi”
chuckled Mr. John Smith, as he singled
out the keys of his trunks.

At the noon dinner-table Mr. Smith
met Mr. Frank Blaisdell. He was a

portly man with rather thick mutton-‘

chop whiskers. He ate very fast. and a
great deal..yet he still found time to talk
interestedly with his new boarder.

He was plainly a man of decided
opinions—opinions which he did not hesi-
tate to express, and which he emphasized
with resoimding thumps of his ﬁsts on
the table. The ﬁrst time he did this,
Mr. Smith. taken utterly by surprise,
was guilty of a visible start. After that
he learned to

W1920.buDoobbdan.Pm&Co,-

ONTAGUE SILVER, the ﬁnest
street man and art grafter in
the West, says to me once in
Little Rock: “If you ever lose your
mind, Billy, and get too old to do
honest swindling among grown men,
go to New York. In the West a
sucker is born every minute; but in
New York they appears in chunks of
roe—you can’t 00th ’em!"

Two years afterward I found that
I couldn’t remember the names of
the Russian admirals, and I noticed
some gray hairs over my left ear; so
I knew the time had arrived for me
to take Silver's advice. .

I struck New York about noon one
day, and took a walk up Broadway.
And I run against Silver himself, all
encompassed up in a spacious kind of
haberdashery, leaning against a
hotel and rubbing the half-moons on
his nails with a silk handkerchief.

“Paresis or superannuated?" I
asks him. I

“Hello, Billy," says Silver; “I’m
glad to see you. Yes, it seemed to
me that the West was accumulating
a little too much wiseness. I’ve been
saving New York for dessert. I
know it’s a low-down trick to take
things from these people. They
only know this and that and ‘pass to
and fro and think ever and anon. I’d
hate for my mother to know I was
skinning these weak—minded ones.
She raised me better.”

“Is there a crush already in the
waiting-rooms of the old doctor that
does skin grafting?" I asks.

“Well, no,” says Silver, “you need-
n't back Epidermis to win today. I’ve
only been here a month. But I’m
ready to begin; and the members of
Willie Manhattan’s Sunday School
iclass, each of whom has volunteered
fto contribute a portion of cuticle to-
ward this rehabilitation, may as well
send their photos to the Evening
Daily.

“I’ve been studying the town,”
says Silver, “and reading the papers
[every day, and I know it as well as
1 the cat in the City knows an O’Sulli-
1van. People here lie down on the
ﬂoor and scream and kick when you
are the least bit slow about taking
money from them. Come up in my
room and I'll tell you. We’ll work
the town together, Billy, for the sake
of old times.”

Silver takes me up in a hotel. He
has a quantity of irrelevant objects
lying about.

“There’s more ways of getting
money, from these metropolitan hay-
seeds,” says Silver, than‘ here is of
cooking rice in Charleston, S. C.
They’ll bite at anything. The brains
of most of 'em commute. The wiser
they are in intelligence the less per-
ception of cognizance they have.
Why didn’t a man the other day sell
J. P. Morgan an oil portrait of
Rockefeller, Jr., for Andrea del Sar-
to’s celebrated painting of the young
Saint John!

“You see that bundle of printed
stuff in the corner, Billy? That’s
gold mining stock. I started out
one day to sell that, but I quit it in
two hours. Why? Got arrested for
blocking the street. People fought
to buy it. I sold the policeman a
block of it on the way to the station-
house and then I took it off the mar—
ket. I don’t want people to give me
their money. I 'want some little
consideration connected with the
transaction to keep my pride from
being hurt. I ‘want ’em to guess
the missing letter in Chic——go, or
draw to a pair of nines before they
pay me a cent of money. _

“Now there’s another little scheme
that worked so easy I had to quit it.
You see that bottle of blue ink on
the table? I tattooed an anchor on
the back of my hand and went to a
bank and told ’em I was Admiral
Dewey's nephew. They offered. to
cash my draft on him for a thous-
and, but I didn’t know my uncle's
ﬁrst name. ,It shows, though,'what
an easy town it is. As for burglars,
they won't go in a house unless
there's a hot supper ready and a few

upper part of the city and I guess,
taking the town from ’end to end, it’s
a plain case of assault and Battery.”
“Monty,” says I, when Silver had
slacked up, “you may have Manhat-
tan correctly discriminated in your
perorative, but I doubt it. I’ve only
been in towu two hours, but it don’t
dawn upon‘_ me that it’s ours with a
cherry in it. There ain’t enough
rus in urbe about it to suit me. I’d
be a good deal much better satisﬁed
if the citizens had a straw or more
in their hair, and run more to velvet-
een vests and buckeye watch charms.
They don’t look easy to me."
“You’ve got it, Billy," says Silver.
“All emigrants have it.

and it frighten's a' foreigner. You’ll
be all right. I tell you I feel like
slapping the people here because
they don’t send me all their money
in laundry baskets, with germicide
sprinkled over it. I hate to go
down the street to get-it. Who
wears the diamonds in this town?
Why, Winnie, the Wiretapper's wife,
and Bella, the Buncosteerer’s bride.

than a blue rose on a tidy. The only

thing that bothers me is I know I’ll '

break the cigars in my vest pocket
when I get my clothes all full of
twenties.” ‘

“I hope you are right, Monty,"
says I; “but I wish all the same I
had been satisfied with a small busi-
ness in Little Rock. The crop of
farmers is never so short out there
but what you can get a few of 'em to
sign a petition for a new post ofﬁce
that you can discount for $200 at the
county bank. The people here ap-
pear to possess instincts of self-pres-
ervation and illiberality. I fear me
that we are not cultured enough to
tackle this game."

“Don't worry," says Silver. "he
got this Jayville—near—Tarrytown cor-
rectly estimated as sure as North
River is the Hudson and East River
ain’t a river. Why, there are peo—
ple living in four blocks of Broad-
Way who never saw any kind of a
'buildlng except a skyscraper in their
lives! A good, live hustling .Western
man ought to get conspicious enough
here inside of three months to incur
either Jerome’s clemency or Law-
son’s displeasure.”

“Hyperbole aside," says'I, “do you
know of any immediatesy‘stem of

buncoing the community out of a.

dollar or two except by applying to
the.Salvation Army or having a ﬁt
on Miss Helen Gould’s doorstep?”
“Dozens of ’em,” says Silver.
“How much capital have you got.
Billy?"
“A thOusand," I told him.
. “I‘ve got $1,200," says he. ,We'll
pool and do a big pipes pf, business.

and stirred within kind of silent 50y.

“We’re to meet J. P. Morgan this
afternoon," says he. “A man I
kno'w in the hotel wants to intro-
duce us. He’s a friend of his. He
says' he likes to meet people from
the West.” '

“That sounds nice and plausable,"
says I. “I’d like to know Mr. Mor-
gun.”

“It won't hurt a bit,” says Silver,
“to get acquainted with a few
ﬁnance Kings. I kind of like the
social way New York has with
strangers.”

The man Silver knew was named
Klein. ' At three o’clock Klein

brought his Wall Street friend to

see us in Silver’s room. “Mr. Mor-
gan” looked some like his pictures,
and he had a Turkish towel. wrap-
ped around his left foot, and he
walked with a cane.

"Mr. Silverand Mr. Pescnd," says
Klein. “It sounds superﬂuous,"
says he, “to mention the name of,
the greatest ﬁnancial—" p

“Cut it out, Klein,” says Mr. Mor-
gan. “I'm glad to know you gents;
I take great interest in the West.
Klein tells me you’re from Little
Rock. I think I’ve a railroad or two
out there somewhere. If either of
you guys would like 'to deal a hand
or two of stud poker 1—"

“Now, Pierpont," cuts in Klein,
“you forget!"

“Excuse me, gents!” says Morgan;
“since I’ve had the gout so bad I
sometimes play a social game of
cards at my house. Neither of you
ever knew One-eyed Peters, did you,
while you was around Little Rock?
He lived in Seattle, New Mexico."

(Before we could answer, Mr.
Morgan hammers on the ﬂoor with
his cane and begins to walk up and
down swearing in a loud tone of
voice.)

“They have been pounding your
stocks today on the Street, Pier-
pent?" asks Klein, smiling. .

“Stocks! No!” roars Mr. Morgan.
“It’s that picture I sent an agent to
Europe to buy. I just thought about
it. He cabled me today that it ain't
to be found in all Italy. I'd pay
$60,000 tomorrow for that picture-—
yes, $75,000. I give the agent a la
carte in purchasing it. I cannot
understand why the art galleries will
allow a DeVinchy to—-”

“Why, Mr. Morgan,” says Klein;
“I thought you owned all of the De
Vinchy paintings?" " »

"What is the picture like, Mr.
Morgan?” asks Silver. “It must be
as big as the side of the Flatiron
Building." '

“I’m afraid your art education is
on the bum, Mr. Silver," says Mor-
gan. “The picture is 27 inches by
42; and it is called “Love’s Idle
Hour.’ It represents a number of
cloak models doing theitwo—step on
the bank of a purple river. The
cablegram said it might have been
brought to this country. My col-
lectio wil never be complete with-
out t at picture. Well, so long,
gents; us ﬁnanciers must keep early
hours.”

Mr. Morgan and Klein went away
together in a cab. Me and Silver
talked about how simple and unsus-,
pecting great people was; and Silver
said what a shame it would be to try
to rob a. man like Morgan; and I
said I thought it would be rather im-
prudent myself. Klein proposes a
stroll after dinner; and me and him
and Silver walks down toward Sev—
enth Avenue to see the sights. 'Klein
sees a pair of cuﬂ links that instigate
his admiration in a pawnshop win-
dow, and we all go in while he buys
’em.

A fter we got back to the hotel and
Klein had gone, Silver jumps at me
and waves his hands.

“Did you see it?” says he.
you see it, Billy?"

L “What?” I asks.

“Why that picture that. Morgant
wants. It’s hanging in that, pawn-
shop. behind the desk. ,I didn’t say
anything because Klein was there.
It's the article as sure as you live.

TO BUILD ROADS
EAR EDITOR—I was much in-

tereted in the article in your ,

issue of the Business Farmer of
September 15th, on the subject of
the use of convict labor on the pub-
lic highways, and your editorial com-
ment thereon. The plan is a good
one, and it has been in successful
use in Colorado for a number of
years. I was surprised that no ref-
erence was made to Colorado's ex—
perience since that state was a pion-
eer in that particular method of us-
ing its convict labor.

For many years I have had a very ‘

ﬁrm conviction that every state
should provide work on highways, or
elsewhere when conditions are such
that work on highways cannot be
done, for all men who are without
employment and in need of ﬁnancial
assistance. The state in such cases
should pay a wage that would make
it possible for the men to provide
for themselves and their families the
absolute necessities of life when
used in the most economical way,
but the wage should be much below
that paid by private enterprise so
that every laborer would seek a
position with a private employer and
get ed the public payroll just as
soon as possible. With this provi-
sion made for the unemployed char-
ity in other forms should be discon-
tinued. The man who would refuse
to work should be refused food and
clothing. If he had a family and re-
fused to work to provide for them
under this plan, he should be placed
under arrest as a vagrant and dealt
with as such.

I realize that this plan would not
meet with favor with organized la-
bor, but I have no sympathy what-
ever with the idea that a man must
have work in a particular selected
trade at a wage ﬁxed by a union,
or ﬂot work at all. My idea is that
every man should be required to
earn what he gets, and if he gets
charity he should pay for it in the
one way in which he can pay—with
his labor. But labor provided as

charity should not compete with pri-g
.vate enterprise in point of wages.

I believe this is good common
sense, and that is the kind that
should guide us in all business trans—
actions, and especially in matters of
a public character. We must not
allow ourselves to get into such pos-
ition as England ﬁnds herself today.
That country is paying out millions
to maintain men who are doing
nothing, and many of whom want
to do nothing. There are those in
this country who will force this sit-
uation upon us if possible, and we
cannot afford to permit it.

And I want to say that I enjoy
your publication, and I am sure you
are giving your readers much of
value in each and every issue. Very
truly yours—W. E. Menoher, Lake
Worth, Fla.

TWO WIDELY DIFFERING
ACCOUNTS

f SERVANT of the proﬁteers
' writes in his letter of Septem-

ber 15th: “Here, we are busily
laying up enormous sums of money
for rainy days—the American farmer
is enjoying the best period in the
history of agriculture."

The above are undoubtedly samp-
les of the new formula now being
given to the farmers by the press
agents of monopoly in an effort to
arrest the discontent that prevails
in the rural districts. Evidently
the special interests are already be-
ginning to feed the public such cam-
paign food as shall, if possible, save
the Esch-Cummins law and the Ford-
ney—McCumber law from being re-
peated at the next session of Cong-
ress. To the above excerpts from
the market letter we desire to sub-
join one from a Minneapolis editor
of September 18th:

“We are aware of the fact that the

, farmers in the Northwest are not so
‘prosperous as before.

Many have
not made anything the last two or
three years. Some have gone bank-
rupt, and others are p on the verge
of bankruptcy. That is why they
have meetings all over the country

prosperous country like ours the
farmer producing the foodstuffs
should be brought to such a position
that he cannot make a living. It is.
of course, self-evident that there is
something wrong with the distribu-
tion of the wealth of the nation.
Someone is receiving too_ much for
his] services, and others too little.
We cannot place the blame on
Europe and foreign countries and
say it is because they cannot and do
not buy our products. Government
statistics show that the aver-age an-
nual exports of 15 food products
before the war amounted to 9,203,-
056,874 pounds, the ﬁscal year of
1923 shows an export of 25,053,~
036,160 pounds. The farmers are
selling more than ever in the for-
eign market, and there is no reason
why there should be such a spread
between what the farmer sells and
Somebody must be
juggling with the prices and discrim—
inating against the farmer and inter-
fering with the law of supply and de-
mand. While we have plenty of coal,
sugar, and gasoline, the prices have
remained the same, except on gaso-
line, which recently was forced
down. There has been too much
price- ﬁxing by private corporations.
It may be possible that the central—
ized control of money and credits
and the ﬁxing of the discount rates
may have considerable to do with
the prices in the open markets. It
is beyond the power of the govern-
ment to give rain and sunshine, to
make the shiftless and indolent pros-
perous, but it is within the power
of the government to protect the
people against excessive proﬁteering
and so to control the distribution of
the nation’s wealth that the produc-
ing class and the honest laborer re—
ceive a fair share. Farmers, small
town bankers, professional men, and
merchants in the Northwest are
unanimous in demanding some kind
of relief for the farmer, for the basic
industry of the nation.

What has been said in the state—
ment from the Minneapolis editor
about the Northwest applies equally
as well to the farming sections of
Michigan—A. J. Raftshol.

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS

AVE been a reader of the M. B.

F. for a long time and have

seen many good things that
were of’interest to the farmer. I
am a farmer. I was raised on the
farm but I live in town. Have lived
in Gratiot county all my'life which
is over ﬁfty years. Have seen Grat-
iot county in its good old pioneer
days, when farming was not what it
is today. Wheat was around a doll-
ar. I have gone with my father to
mill and would get about forty
pounds of ﬂour for a bushel of good
wheat. Why can’t we now? Wheat
is as good today as it was ﬁfty years
ago. Well, the comeback is: It costs
more to build the grist mill today
than it did the old stone mill. I
will admit that. No argument there
but this is what I don't understand
why the farmer don’t have anything
to say. He cannot go to the grist
mill and get his wheat ground and
get his ﬂour and bran and middlings;
it is all one-sided. The miller will
pay, suppose, one dollar a bushel,
and sell his ﬂour for $1.15 for 24%
pounds, when wheat should make
from 36 to 40 pounds of ﬂour and
have some bran and middlings, and
his sack back, which my father did
not sometimes. I have attended lots
of mass meetings and have never
heard it Spoken of. Must be a graft
somewhere. Somebody says the
millers’ association. It may be so, I
don’t know.

I should like to hear from some
of the other farmers as to their
views of this little talk. This should
be given consideration as a serious
proposition and not as a joke.———- J.
E. H., Ithaca, Mich.

BLUD‘IG GUN BARREL
Will you be kind enough to'tell

me how to blue a gun barrel? I-

want to blue the barrel of my shot--
gun and thought you could help mm?
—M. E., Shiawassee County, Mich.

——The parts you intend to . blue
should be carefully cleaned and pol-
ished, using a very ﬁne emery cloth
for polishing and ﬁnishing with
crocus cloth. Great care should be
taken to see that no ﬁnger marks
are left on the steel. The barrel
bore and magazine bore ‘should
then be plugged with cork so that
the acid cannot get inside and injure
the 'parts. Next dip the parts to be
blued into nitric acid, taking care to
keep the acid off hands and clothing.
Leave in the acid until the proper
remove,
rinse with clear water and oil to
prevent rusting. Do not expect a
ﬁrst class job the first time you do
this as it is really quite difﬁcult to
produce a good ﬁnish.

RIGHT TO GARDEN

I would very much like your ad-

vice concerning small matter that is
troubling me at the present time. We
have rented a house and lot by the
month here for over a year and have
a very ﬁne garden. Recently we
bought a place and expect to move
soon and I wonder if I am entitled
to my garden that I have cared for
until it is near maturity or if I give
up possession of the house I lose
control of my garden—Mrs. M. 1-1.,
Ann Arbor, Mich.
—If you are renting the house on a
monthly basis, I am of the opinion
that after you have once given up
possession you could not re-enter for
the purpose of harvesting your gard-
en, unless you can make some ar—
rangement with the next tenant
whereby he would allow you to do
so. Asst. Legal Editor.

 

HAVE RIGHT TO CHANGE ROAD

We have a State Reward Road
which goes through our farm and
now the road authorities want to
make this road wider and cement it.
It is 18 feet gravel ‘and 30 foot road
bed. It is gravel and dirt now.
They want to change this road in
some places and make it on an old
stage road. Some of this road is
closed now, most of it has been for
years. '1 he road authorities claim
they have the right to go where they
like and make roads and we as land
owners have nothing to say nor get
any pay for our land. I understand
a road must be four rods Wide. Most
of them are not that wide. We hear
we must give land enough to make
this road 100 feet wide and if we
refuse to give it they have the
authority to take it and we have
nothing to say about it.——Wm. 8.,
Portland, Mich.

—The authorities having control and
jurisdiction over this highway have
the authority to change its location.
Whether the "old stage road" may
now properly be used for highway
purposes Without compensation to
the adjoining landowner depends
upon whether the old stage road has
ever been abondoned for highway
purposes. If so, the adjoining land-
owners is entitled to compensation
if it is to be taken for public use.
The question might also arise as to
the width of the-road. Assuming
that the old stage road has’not been
abandoned but that it is less a1tha.n
100 feet wide, and assuming also
the correctness of the statement that
it is proposed to make the new road
100 feet wide, then the adjacent
landowners are entitled to compensa-

 

tion for the value of the land to in-
crease the width of 100 feet—State

 

Highway Department.

 

LARGE WHITE GRUBS

What will destroy those large,
white grabs that work on both
strawberries and potatoes? We plow-
ed over an acre last fall and replow-
ed it this spring and ﬁtted it up and
set to strawberries. It was heavily
fertilized with home; fertilizer, but

those grubs have worked in the

planisandinsomopla‘ceshancut

 

 

than out completely... no plants-

  

were worked and cultivated and
weeds kept down. The grubs are
also working in the potatoes, this
ground before plowing had [been in
corn, quite heavy land and the
plants that are left are looking ﬁne.
Would also like to ask if lime is
good to use on strawberry ground
and if so, how much?———Mrs. E. N.,
Charlevolx, Mich.
-—The large white grub that ,works
in strawberries and potatoes is the
larva of the June beetle. These
creatures take three years in the
ground and, therefore, the beetles
appear every third year in numbers.
Now, the damage is done by the
white grubs the year after the
beetles ﬂy since that is the year the
white grub gets most of its growth.

The beetles lay their eggs in grass— ~

sod and in strawberry beds by
choice, and it is therefore good
policy to avoid putting strawberries,
potatoes or corn or anything that is
very susceptible to white grub at-
tacks on land that was in strawber-
ries or grass-sod the year previous,
provided that was a year in which
the beetles were numerous.

If one studies this statement care-
fully they will ﬁnd the Whole matter
explained. One may have to read
it carefully two or three times to
get the meat out of the nut but the
whole principal of white grub con-
trol is stated in this paragraph.

Unfortunately it is impossible to
kill the white grubs when they are
in the soil. Fertilizers have little
effect and there is rally almost noth—
ing that one can do to improve the
situation except by so managing his
rotation as to avoid putting crops
likely to be attacked in land that
was in strawberries or grass—sod the
year previous.

Another unfortunate feature of
the White grub situation is that the
white grubs seem to appear every
third year and one gets conﬁdence in
between attacks and forgets that
they are due again three years from
the last attack. With this explana—
tion it is usually easy to get by and
to put in something not likely to be
injured. Land that was in grass-
sod the year the bettles ﬂew can be
utilized for raising small grains be—
cause small grains get by pretty
well in spite of the grub. There are
also many natural enemies of the

IV— . __ r l V . v . ’

white grub which gradually "thinks

them down so that in a few years
time they will .be.well weeded out.
—R. H. Pettig Professor_of Entom-

ology, M. A. .

MINOR’S WAGES

I would like to know if an orphan
past eighteen can draw his own
wages or must he be twenty-one. I
have one working for me and the
people who adopted him claim the
money. I would like to know if I
payone party would I be compelled
to pay the other party?—A Sub-
scriber, Harbor Beach, Mich.

—If the boy has been legally adopt-
ed, the adopting parents would have
a right to collect his wages—Asst.
Legal Editor.

LAW WILL COMPEL PARENT TO
SUPPORT CHILD

Can you tell me if there is any
way to make a man give his daught-
er, who is not 18 years old, enough
money to clothe herself. This girl
gets two dellars a week in the sum-
mer from him to'b'uy everything she
has, but at least six months out of
the year she has nothing. He is not
a poor man but owns a productive
farm of some hundred or more
acres. Has $1,660 in bank, besides
bonds and other money not on de-
posit. Can there be anything done
about this matter and what are the
rights of a girl 18 years of age? She

' does all his housework on his farm

as her mother isn’t living, also he
has no one but her to support—A
Subscriber, Deckerville, Mich .

—The law will compel a parent, who
is able to do so, to support his child—
ren until they reach the age of
majority. I would advise you to
consult your local prosecuting at-
torney in regard to your case—Asst.
Legal Editor.

KILL CABBAGE LICE
Could you tell me how to kill cab-
bage lice? My cabbage is just cover-
ed with lice and I have tried differ-

ent things but nothing helps—H.

M., Utica, Mich.

—-Cabbage lice are diﬂicult to kill
although they may be killed by a
strong spray of nicotine and soap
suds at this season of the year. We
have also been successful in controll-
ing them in the past by a spray of
one ounce of pyrethrum, or Persian
insect powder, to a gallon of water.
This is a little expensive and each
louse must be hit to be killed in any
case—R. H. Pettit, Professor of En-
tomology, M. A. C.

FUR DEPARTMENT

 

TRAPPERS “TUNE UP"

EN a man puts his riﬂe away

in the spring, not to be used

until fall, he coats it heavily
with grease and lays it up in a safe
place. Then when the good old
snap gets back into the air, and he
gets the itch to be shooting again,
he gets it out and cleans away all of
the heavy grease and inspects every
moving part and the inside of the
barrel to see that it is in true ﬁght-
ing trim—not a speck of dust or rust
or gummy grease anywhere.

He shoots it a few times to get his
hand in—and usually learns that it
is surprising what strangers he and a
gun have become through the inact-
ive months. That’s inevitable.

Take trapping now. Just as a
man loses the "feel" with a riﬂe he
does with the woods and the habits
and doings of the animals that wear
the money-making pelts. And this
is time for the trapper to be unlimb-
ering for the season.

Get out into the woods where your
trap line will soon be. You will
ﬁnd that there have been a lot of
little changes that you ought to
know about before you get down to
business. Where you knew of such-
and-such a fur-bearing family last
season. there’s an entirely diiferent
one today. You’ll want to remem-
ber that. Creeks that were full last
year may be pretty dry this year.
Runways, slides, dens, that you
knew about may be deserted. Tim‘s
to be spotting the new ones.

Another thing. The smell, the

; feel, the looks of the weds, issuing

to tune you up format- tho right
start.‘ ~‘A-r‘ecord year!" -   ~'
Overhaul your traps,and see that

       

they are working smooth as grease.
See that your supply of stretchers is
complete for every kind of pelt. And
the baits. It you make your own,
it’s high time to be about it. Or, if.
like most trappers, you have been
successful with the prepared baits,
lay in a supply of fresh, strong ones.
The paste baits are meeting with
favor, owing not only to their pow—
ers of attraction, but to the conven—
ience and safety with which they
may be carried.

Watch your favorite magazines
for new hints and shortcuts. Be
loaded for bear, this year, the min-
ute the season opens.

From present indication your best
efforts in preparing furs will be well
worth while. Already the mogra-
tory birds have been moving south
for several weeks. Blue birds were
seen on their way back south far
earlier than usual. Reports from
the great lakes region told of return-
ing ducks as early as the nineteenth
of August. The fur market has a
husky look to the wise ones. It
ought to have when we remember
the shortage in certain lines, and the
general prosperity that always
makes the fur business good.

The stores that sell women’s ap-
parel also tell a mighty encouraging
story. Fur collars predominate on

women’s cloth coats. Fur trim- -.

ratings for gowns of all sorts. Even
veils with mink tails on them! Can

this, sitting with me in the great
state convention of Sunday school
folks of Pennsylvania,—well, you
would have a renewing of mind. I
hear Dr. Fisher now on“Our Edu-
cational Ministry.” He is telling us
that the outstanding emphasis of the
church today should be on Christian
education. And the aroused, living
Church is seeing that not only the
Sunday school, but the vacation
church school, and week-day relig-
ious instruction, are needed adjuncts
of the church.

I am sitting in an arena among
multitudes of witnesses, listening to
some gladiators of Christ instructing
how to strip for the Christian race,
how to lighten up the weights, and
how to lay aside sins by keeping
one’s eyes on Jesus, the Author and
Finisher of our faith. And under the
inspiration you are “pressing on to-
ward the mark.”

Well, just to think of it, words
are signiﬁcant things, aren’t they?
By words thou shalt be justiﬁed, or
condemned. By reading the words
of the Book we may know its heart.
By considering your words, we know
your heart. Words carry with them
the imprint of character. “The Word
became ﬂesh and dwelt among us.”
And we behold the character of
Jesus} life and the “stamp of His
genius.” Aye, day by day, in this
convention. “Quiet Folks” Gordon
has been assuring us “softly,” that
“The Master is here;” that we shall
quietly slip our hand into the Un-
seen Hand, knotted and torn, to
know that our Lord “lived again,”
and “lives.”

And so, these words of the Cov—
enant in our text, are saying that
life must have deﬁniteness of aim.
All the fabric of life goes to pieces
without this. All aims are shabby
aside from the incarnating of the
words and spirit of Jesus. And
then the race track of life is laid
out. And by whom? Then again,
we must run with “patience,” with
steadiness.

But now, I am looking at the great
and challenging motto of the con-
vention. Greatness! Do I want it?
Well, in the spirit of this motto lies
the way. Will I pay the price?
Aye, listen, “Not to be ministered
unto, but to minister.” This is the
motto. Here is the mystery of great-
ness. This is why the Countryman of
Galilee was, and is forevermore,
great. But there are other mottoes
and I am reading. “They shall grow
who believe they can.” “Only dead
ﬁsh ﬂoat with the tide.” “It is not
the leap at the start, but the steady
going-on that gets there.” “Service is
not so much a thing to be talked
about as it is a thing to perform.”
And so on.

.Now, I hear Dr. Gordon‘on “The
Ministering Teacher.” Yes, that is
what the motto said. And, incident—
ally I hear these words, a too “closely
mortised theology” today; and “what
a man really is, is what he is when
it is dark and the lights are out;”
and again, “You scratch the skin 'of
the usual skeptic and you’ll ﬁnd a
dirty sinner underneath.” Right
here we go into a short Wanamaker
memorial service. And who was
Jno. Wanamaker? A great merchant.
Yes, but listen. Someone is just now
reporting that when Jno. Wanamak-
er was a boy he bought a Bible and
paid for it on the installment plan.
“This,” said Mr. Wannamaker, “was
the greatest investment of my life."

Well, all this is mountain-top in-
spiration. We have been soaring
“as on eagles’ wings.” But someone
is just, now saying, “It {is not so neces-

,___,,sﬁary._for the church ,to be ﬁttedwith

A SERMON’BY REV. DAV-ID F. WARNER

again, “That the church is a labora-
tory rather than a place for oratory.”
Really, M. B. F. folks, does that in-
terpret our task? Is it true that
the church is not close enough to
men? That we are not ministering
to our neighbor as we do to our~
selves? Well, I am now hearing
Mr. Herman Eldredge, of Erie, re-
late this incident. The tide in the
bay of Fundy had gone out and had
taken with it a 'little girl. Many
men saw her struggling in the surf.
They gathered on the shore. But
they said that they dare not go in.
And suddenly, there~ rushes up a
young high school athlete. He
throws one end of the life line down
at the feet of the men, and the bony
'out into the tide. He strips and
plunges in and gets the bony to the
little girl; then—ah, then, but the
men forgot to pull. The brave swim-
mer, with the little girl, went down]
The monument to his heroism is
standing there today. But, men of
the church of the living God, are
you forgetting to pull.

It is now evening, and three thou—
sand people are hearing Dr. Marion
Lawrence of Chicago, emphasize
“Cooperation” in his characteristic
manner. Do you believe him when
he says, “Denominationalism does
not reach to heaven?” And that we
must cooperate more intensely if we
are to get every boy and girl. And
that canvas in front of me is telling
a sad tale, thisz—that ﬁfty-seven
per cent of the population of this
great state is not in any church.
Here is a clear challenge to friendly
and urgent cooperation.

And now, the music of.our heart
is carried along with that of the
soloist in the “Ninety and Nine.”
Then there followed Dr. Hugh Ma—
gill, of Chicago, who, it seemed to
the writer, struck the living notes
that go to make up the symphonic
challenge of Christian life. “Under
an adequate program,” he said, “We
are on the eve of a great religious
awakening.” And broadened and
intensiﬁed his appeal by reporting
favorable attitudes on the part of
representative Jews and foreigners,
and ﬁnally quoted Harry Lauder as
saying at a Rotary banquet, “Who
leans his head on the breast of etern—
al truth and hears the heart—beats
of the Son of God, he is the man of
vision who can lead the way.”

And to-night there is to speak
such men as Frank B. Willis, U. S.
Senator from Ohio, and Dr. Chas. L.‘
Goodell of New York City. And I
am sure they will- sound' again the
call to girdle ourselves to lead the
world out into a knowledge of and
devotion to God as revealed in Jesus
Christ. But, it is a matter of
strength for our weakness to know
that the church is making a progress
in Godward vision and manward
sympathy. But, said the late presi—
dent, Warren G. Harding, we must
hurry.

“The Farm Paper of Service”

CHILD LABOR 1N BEET FIELDS

the last issue we pointed out the obligation

which was placed ,upon the beet growers of

Michigan to clear their skirts of the charges
which are being given wide publicity that child—
ren are employed‘in the beet ‘ﬂelds of Michigan
and constitute a national scandal which is com-
parable only to the employment of child labor in
the cotton mills of the south. Mr. A. B. Cook,
master of the Michigan State Grange, and a mem-
ber of the state board of agriculture, issued a
long statement in Lansing last week in which he
indicated that the charge was being made
against the Michigan beet-grower himself for the
employment of his own children in this work.

What statements we have read were largely
directed to the employment of the children of
imported labor, and the facts which Mr. Cook
brought out that the illiteracy of children be-
tween ten and sixteen years of age in Saginaw
County was only four and three—tenths per cent.
did not. we believe, take into consideration the
fact that it is impossible to keep a check on the
children of labor imported to do this work and
who migrate from one point to another during
the season.

Otherwise the statement by Mr. Cook is to be
commended, and it would be fortunate if other
beet growers would come forth and state the
facts. We offered in our last issue to publish
these facts in Tm: BUSINESS FARMEB because we
believe they are of vital interest and should be
giVen publicity. We would like to hear from beet
growers themselves as to conditions in their own
neighborhood, because this is a matter which
must be brought from under cover and we
consider it a direct aspersion at the state of
Michigan. a state which has maintained a repu-
tation for being one of the foremost agricultural
states in America in the point of culture and ed-
ucation. Certainly the state which founded the
first agricultural college on the American conti-
ent cannot afford at this late date to be blem-
ished by a charge such as that now made regard-
ing the employment of, child. labor in our beet
ﬁelds.

THE “SEVENTEEN YEAR” WAR

we went to press daily we might keep

IF our readers informed as to the status of the

open war between the state board of agricul-
ture and Governor Groesbeck.

As it is, we can only report the latest news
from the front which is, that Herman H. Halli-
day, secretary of the board and of the Michigan
Agricultural College, was instructed to make
formal requisition upon 0. B. Fuller for $75,000
of the $150,000 appropriated by the last legisla-
ture for extension work of the college.

As the auditor general cannot issue a voucher
without the approval of the administrative board

' which will undoubtedly be refused, a is expected

that the next move of the state board of agricul-
ture will be to force this into the supreme court
of the state and decide for all time the issue in-
volved, which is, as we have stated many times.
based on whether the county agents can be paid
in part by organisations or other than the state

A or federal governments. The Governor claims

they cannot be, and severely criticizes the former
plan under which the Michigan state farm bureau

A , has largely contributed to the salaries of the var-

ious county agents.

morn-(moses murmured

NLY this week in the great pavilion at Chi'-'

cage where are held the International Live-
stock Shows, we“ listened with some fourteen
thousand others to the remarks of a distinguish-

.ed visitor to this country and one of the truly

great men of our generation, Mr. David Lloyd-
George, wartime Prime Minister of Great Britain.

His message to the American people was. one
which gave small credit to the present occupa-
tion of the Rhur district by the French and Bel-
gians, and he stated clearly England's position
in opposing this drastic action against which he
is very bitter. ' .

He thoroughly approves the suggestion of our
Secretary of State, Mr. Hughes, that a committee
composed of_ all the Allies, including the United
States, he organized to meet and formulate a
fair amount of reparation which Germany could
and would pay.

He pointed out that previous to the occupation
of the Rhur district, which contains all of the
iron and coal deposits which were left to Germ-
any under the Treaty of Versailles, that Germany

had paid in actual gold to the Allies for reparar

tions and occupation expense over two billions of
dollars, and this in addition to the thousands of
tons of ships, of railroad material, and other
merchandise which she had delivered to France
and Belgium.

The present drastic action, he said, could only
force upon all classes of the German people a
bitter resentment which at this very hour is fom-
enting into a red wave which may sweep, sup-
ported by the temperamental mass of Russians,
the whole of Europe into a wild abyss.

No one could listen to the Honorable Lloyd-
George and not be impressed with the broad vis—
ionand the sincereity of this little Welshman,
who‘has held the fate of the world in his very
ﬁngers and has had kings and queens at his call!

WANTED: MORE EGGS FROM MICHIGAN l

LTHOUGH Michigan has made an enviable
reputation in the production of baby chicks
and altho they are largely frOm egg-pro-

ducing breeds does not seem to bring up the
average of egg shipments from this state, if we
are to take the record of the number of eggs
received in New York during the month of Aug—
ust, when out of a total of 527, 751 cases only
7,867 cases came from the state of Michigan,
while Illinois supplied 95,371 cases and Iowa
supplied 94,782 cases. Either of these states sup-
plying more than ten times as many as came
from Michigan, and even far away California
shipped 35,566 cases over three thousand miles to
place them on the New Yorker’s breakfast table!
There ought to be a lesson in this. Can it be
that the growth of the metrOpolitan cities in
Michigan has taken our supply of eggs so that
we are no longer exporters? It would be inter-
esting to see‘ the ﬁgures on egg receipts for the
city of Detroit. It is our prediction that Mich-
igan poultry men are supplying only e small
proportion of the eggs consumed in this market.
There is no excuse for any farmer in the state

.of Michigan not producing a generous quantity

of eggs for market in view of the price which
this commodity has maintained and from all in—
dications will maintain, over a long period.

Eggs and dairy products are the two, surest
cash producers on the farm today, and with the
rapid development of Michigan’s metropolitan
sections and our proximity to the great centers
of population in this country there is no reason
why either Illinois or Iowa should surpass us in
the number of eggs produced for the New York
market. ’

No one can produce eggs at so low a cost as
can the farmer who supplies most of the feed
from by—products or from his fields. There is
of course a limit to the number of hens which
should be kept on each farm, but it is our pre-
diction that not one Michigan farm in a hundred
is overstocked with poultry at this time, and not
one in ten is keeping half as many as could be
maintained at 'a profit.

HELPFBOM ARGENTINE

THIN the past week it has developed that
leaders in a radical movement can be of
beneﬁt; but to some other country than

their own. Argentine, that great proressive
country south of the Equator, has passed a price
ﬁxing law which it is expected will redound to
the direct beneﬁt of the livestock producers in
the United States. - . ' ' ' ' .

In years,the Argentine with its 
(AW

  

     

  

  
  

 

coil in 

 
  

product of ~ our *7 own land and "has Seriously in-

. financed our prices. A . v " r a ' ,  .
This recent bit of radical legislation has forced

the, price. of these products upward to the direct ‘

beneﬁt of the producer in the United States, and
already the Chicago packershave gone on record
that they will buy no product from the Argentine
until the present law is repealed. ‘ There must

’ therefore, follow an immediate period when the

United States will be called upon to supply the
meat needs of the greater part of the world’s
market. a

The world is getting smaller all the time. Per-
haps ometday the producers of all lands will get
their heads together in a sort of a league of
nations and then they can fix prices which will
allow a fair proﬁt above the actual cost of pro-
duction, but until that day arrives there is no
proﬁt to be gained by price fixing except to some—
one else than whom it was intended to beneﬁt.
The result of price-ﬁxing ' in Argentine would
seem to demonstrate this as a fact.

MHWVERANDMILCHAPLH

O distinguished gentlemen well known to

most Americans arrived on the same train in

Detroit the other morning. The one has
been decorated by every nation engaged in the
Great War for having accomplished valiant serv-
ice in feeding the unfortunate; since the War
he has been a member of the President's Cabinet
and is at the present time. The other gentleman
had only one decoration—that was “Champion
Laugh Maker of the World!”, for probably
Charlie Chaplin from the silver screen has made
more people laugh than any other man who ever
played jester to the masses. .

On arrival, it is said, Mr. Hoover, had a dif-
ﬁcult time to ﬁnd a porter for his luggage and
he passed unnoticed through the great station.
while all manner of folks from lowly porters to
a distinguished committee of Detroit citizens wel-
comed with open hearts, Charlie Chaplin.

The very progress of the comedian through the
streets of Detroit was a demonstration such as
has been accorded few men in this generation.
Bald-headed men and grey-haired grandmas
argued with the children of all ages for points of
vantage from which they could see "Charlie"
in real life.

There is a moral in all of this. ~

The world loves a man who can make it laugh.
Mr. Hoover, was here to tell us of those in
trouble and how he was helping them. The world
and all the struggling mass of humans on it have
troubles of their own. We need our Hoovers, but
no less do we need our Chaplins!

The world has been changed a lot during the
last century but there is an older adage which is
as true today as the day it was spoken:

“Laugh and world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone!"

HUNDRED CENT DOLLAR COMING BACK

CCORDING to George W. Roberts, Vice Presi- .

dent of the National City Bank'of New York,

better known as the former director of the
United States.Mint, and an economist of inter-
national‘fame the present day dollar which is
worth only sixty cents is coming back to a hun-
dred cent valuation, and the time is not far dis-
taut.

A complete interview with Mr. Roberts begins
on page 4‘of this issue which you hold in your
hands and ‘is worth the reading of every farmer
who has been puzzling to find out how he is go-
ing to adjust his own purchases with the dollar
he receives from his crop.

There is every indication these days that a
change is not only certain but may come sooner
than the average farmer has suspected. There
is_every indication that farm prices are on the
upward trend, and one need not be a wild—eyed
optimist to predict that before a year from now
those who have remained on the farm will be
glad they have stayed there and many ofglhose
who have gone into the cities to work will be
sorry they did not stay on the farm and wait
for the readjustment to come.

As it is, we don't 'want too many of those who
left the farm to come back until those who re-
mained have' had a chance to recuperate!

Even our daily mail has taken on a brighter
atmosphere. We hope that every farm commune

_ity is planning on having a harvest festival and

home-coming this year, the like of which they
havenot had in, many past years. The outlook

deserves it. _

so good a paper as the
, "Lansing State Journal,"'falls
circulation scheme employed
by the ‘Tam Journal", a national
mm paper published at Philadelph-
ia, it is high time that something
should be said about it,"and although
we mentioned the scheme in a recent
issue we did not mention this vener-
able publication and its agents' con-
nection with the scheme involved.

We do not believe that any legit-
imate subscriber to TB]: Bvsmnss
FABMEB who is ﬁt to bear that title,
would fall for these slick subscrip-
tion agents' schemes, but when a
well known state newspaper pub-
lishes a long editorial article headed,
“Farm Journal Circulating Unique
Petition Among State Farmers," we
think it is high time to set them
right. ,

The “Farm J ournal” agent, we
understand, presents a petition which
asks for a lowering of taxes. This
scheme is not unique. It has been
worked over and over and is almost
as old as this venerable farm paper

itself.
The “Farm J ournal" has been
workin this scheme in all parts of

the country for two or three years.
We have never seen nor heard of the
petitions going to Washington, as
promised, and if they have been sent
there, they certainly did not cause
very much of a ripple.

They are based on the barest kind
of a platitude. Asking a man to
sign a petition to have taxes reduced
is exaer the same as asking a hobo
to sign a petition for no work and
sure pay.

Can you reasonably expect any
number of signatures to such a peti-
tion is going to have. any eifect on a
sincere and well meaning represent-
ative or congressman, especially
when he knows it has been collected
by a farm paper in connection with
its solicitation of subscription?

If any reader of THE BUSINESS
FABMER has ever been presented with
a “Farm Journal” petition and HAS
NOT been asked by the agent pres-

enting it to subscribe or renew his‘

subscription to the “Farm Journal"
we would like to hear from him.
This petition scheme is a subscrip-
tion scheme, pure and simple. and
the agents who handle it make big
moneys—more than the average
farmer can make. A good place to
make your mark when such a peti-

THE OIL IEEATER

our last issue we asked from this

page for our readers’ experience

with the Oliver oil burner and
others of similar make, because we
are daily in receipt of inquiries re—
garding these heaters which are be-
ing entensively advertised and large—
ly purchased by people in rural dis-
tricts who have not the facilities of
natural or artiﬁcial gas.

In the Experience Pool below you
will ﬁnd a number of letters selected
from those that have been received,
some of which are favorable and
some unfavorable to this method of
heating. We will have to leave it to
our readers to gather from this ex-
perience the “respective merits of
these machines.

I cannot help but believe that this
is one of the most valuable services
which we can render to our many
thousands of readers, and the Ex-
perience Pool should be one of the
largest and best read departments 'in
this weekly, because if you will bring

,your problems in we will publish

them where not less than 100,000
people, most of them farmers on
farms in Michi '11, will read and if
they have ha experience pass it
along to you.

This ought to help take some of
the gamble out of farming and farm-
ing methods. _The Experience Pool

is a wide open department. You-

can askany kind of a question and

get the experience of other farmers,’

their wives or families without any
cost to yourself. On the other hand,
when you see a question in the Ex-

" . patience Pool which concerns some-

   
 

thing that you have had experience
with yen ought to. be just as willing
to take ‘  time to give your exper-

tion that cannot help but pay all
concerned. We hope our readers
will make more and more use of the
Experience Pool department.

 

‘ are better than this.

  

 

; THE EXPERIENCE POOL

 

 

You asked about the Oliver Oil
Gas Burner. ~ We bought a No. 10
Burner and put it in our Renown
cook stove last November and have
used it every ‘day since. Like it ﬁne
for cooking and baking. Perhaps it
would not work well in all cook
stoves. Would notcare to have one
in the heater in the living room as it
makes too much noise. Wish to say
they give a lot of heat. Even heats
the water in the reservoir. Only
light one burner unless I am in a
hurry.-—-Mrs. Theo. Bulgrin, Marine
City, Mich.

It will give plenty of heat in a
cook stove or range but to bake with
it you must remove the back wall.
The worst feature is the tremendous
noise. You cannot hear anyone at
the door nor hear the telephone
while the burner is in operation.
These are objections which they are
silent on. We have had one but
have discarded it, Respectfully, G.
Sprang, White Pigeon, Mich. '

I have one of the burners and use
it in my cook stove and will say it is
the worst fuel eater known. It
takes at least four gallons every ten
hours to run it if you use it for heat
and then keep it turned low just so
it don’t smoke. I tested it out and
found it took ﬁve times the oil they
said it did. I only use it in summer
now to bake with. It makes the
best heat to bake with that can be
found, but a dirty smoky, greasy
thing, hard to generate but after you
fuss a long time and get it going it
bakes ﬁne. That is all I care for it.
It is no good to use in coal stove or
furnace as they recommend. It
would smoke the glass black. If I
had not bought it I would not have
it in the house. I hope this will be
of beneﬁt to your readers. Respect-
fully, Mrs. A. G. McDavis, Oxford,
Mich. _

We sent for two burners, one for

the range and one for the heating i

stove. We gave them a thorough
trial and found they were not what
we wanted or would not do what
they said they would so we created
them up and sent them back. We
had paid for them in advance and
understood that if they were not
satisfactory we would get our money

, back, which I think was $19.00. I

won't be sure about the price but
that was it or near it, and we have
never heard from them since. That
was ﬁve years ago. They were not

honest then so I don’t believe they »

are now. We are now using an oil
burner called "The Gloria.” I have
a burner in the range and one in the
furnace. The one in the furnace is
for summer use only, to heat the
water in the tank. That is not hot
enough for winter use, but the one
in the range is ﬁne for heating or
baking or boiling clothes. Have had
it nearly a year. Respectfully, Mrs.
W. H. Buskirk, Grandville, Mich.

We have lots of wood, so will burn
the Oliver only in hot Weather but
will say the burner is all right and
does just what they claim it will do.
I have it in my range and can bake
anything I have ever tried to. If
we had to buy our fuel I believe it
would be as cheap as anything. We
have had so many beneﬁts from your
valuable paper I though it would be
nice to pass some along. Mrs. J. L.
Pratt, R4, Ionia, Mich.

We purchased one this spring and
can’t afford to burn it because it uses
so much oil and is dirtier than soft
coal. If one writes anything about
it to the company they have some ex-
cuse that we do not understand run—
ning it. We had to take it out of
the stove "entirely and they won’t
take it back as they agreed. I We in-
stalled it as they directed and could-
n't get any satisfaction. Yours sin-
cerely, W. P. Fender, Lake Odessa,
Mich. - w

I have one, them-st summer it did
all right but the next summer I only
used it a short time and it wouldn't
burn well. ‘There are other oil burn-

CHILD WELFARE WEEK
'HE health of the American child
has at last become recognized
as one of the most important
problems the nation has to deal with.
The women interested in childwel-
fare have been ﬁghting for this rec—
ognition ever since we had a chance
to speak for ourselves.

This last week in Detroit the an-
nual convention was held and those
of you that have radio receiving sets
must have heard Mr. Herbert Hoov-
er, Secretary of Commerce and Dr.
Geo. E. Vincent, President of the
Rockefeller Foundation give their
splendid talk on what is being done
to help save our babies for better
manhood and womanhood. If I am
not mistaken the funds laid aside
for this work by the government is
$350,000.00.

 

CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS

HERE are now over 12,000 con-

solidated schools in the rural

districts, tOWns, and small cities
of the United States. They have
taken the place of approximately
50,000 little one-teacher schools.
During the year 1919-20 over 1,000
new consolidated schools were estab-
lished. This is truly a hopeful Sign
for the future.

Consolidated schools equalize ed-
ucational opportunities. Those of
standard type are rapidly becoming
the strongest schools in our educa-
tional system. They are all the re-
sult of an attempt to equalize from
the bottom up. They have been cre—
ated by concentrating the wealth and
energy of areas that before consolid—
ation dissipated their efforts on very
poor kinds of schools.
draw nothing from the top of the
school system. On the contrary,
they have added much to it. They
equalize by bringing the poorest
schools up not only to the average
but to the best. .

The consolidated school prov1des
for children in the rural districts,
large, new, modern buildings, With
auditoriums, g y m n a s iums, and
rooms for science, agriculture, shop
work, cooking, etc., in addition to
classrooms, and good modern heat—
ing plants. Large consolidated
schools offer to all boys and girls in
these small districts, no matter how
poor they may be, the privilege of
an accredited four-year high school
when they have completed the
grades.

The larger schools, too, do not de—
prive parents of the help, comfort
and companionship of their boys and
girls during the high school age, the
age when adolescents can be most
useful about the home; the age when
parental protection and guldance
are most needed.

In strictly rural communities con—
solidated schools generally offer
every educational advantage known
in our well—graded city schools. We
need more of them if we expect ‘to
give our country boys and girls a fair
. chance. The consolidated school of—
fers not only the usual standard
course of study and book knowledge,
but alsoa social training impossible
in the one-teacher school. Literary
societies and debating clubs vitalize
the program of studies. Team work

life’s greatest lessons of fair play,
the “golden rule,” cooperation, and,
ﬁnally, success.

The consolidated school provides
school buildings and grounds de—
signed to safeguard and promote
the children’s health, supplies them
with an abundance of mechanical
means necessary for Work and re—
creation, and develops in them an
idea of the aesthetic. In this re-
spect, the consolidated school of the
country has many natural advant—

ages over the best of the c1ty
schools. More room for play space,
gardens, and outside laboratories

may be' had for less expense.

The consolidated school gives a
considerable choice of subjects, in
addition to the essential ones, so
that the child may follow the lines
of his own interests or necessities. It
provides a group of professionally
trained, experienced, and superv1s-
ed teachers with whom he may be-
come acquainted.

The services of a physician or
nurse, or both, are sometimes pro-
vided to prevent or stop in its in—
ception and sickness among the
children. The school is the means
of interesting the community in the
betterment of its own life to keep
pace with the ideals set before the
children.

Transportation, sanitary and safe,
to and from school is furnished for
all children residing any great dis—
tance from the school plant.

The consolidated school may cost
more because it is necessary to trans-
port the pupils from their homes to
the school. If, however, We count
costs in terms of better schools and
happy children, we certainly receive
much greater returns for the money
we spend. Would the patrons of
these consolidated schools go back to
the old way? .In Iowa 1,400 farm-
ers living in 56 consolidated school
districts were asked this question,
and 9 out of every 10 answered
I‘NO‘!’

186,000

There are one-teacher

 

 

schools in the United States and
some of them are so small that only
two or three pupils were in regular
attendance. In one of the States dur-
ing the school year of 1922 over 1,-
300 of these small schools had an
enrollment of 10 pupils or less per
school, and over 2,200 more of the
same small schools had an average
enrollment of not more than 11 to
15 pupils. To maintain a school for
only 15 pupils is a very expensive
proposition for the taxpayer.

It is a poor investment and a
waste of public-school funds to pay
a teacher a good salary and then
provide them with only one-half the
number of pupils he can easily in-
struct.

Of course, no one would for a
moment think that the 186,000 one—
teacher schools could or even should
all be consolidated in a short time,
but ultimately the one—teacher
school must give way in most cases
to the consolidated school.

look at the good-looking farm.
The ﬁelds were yielding large crops;
the stock was in ﬁne condition. Well-
made sheds housed the newest and

an auto for travel.

“How many pigs have you?” ask-
ed the traveler.

“Just a hundred and nine,” said
the farmer. “That boar over yonder
took ﬁrst prize at the country fair.
He’s a full—blooded Duroc.”

“You certainly know how to raise
pigs, Mr. Farmer.”

“I ought to; I’ve sure made a
study of raising hogs. You have to
get good stock and then raise them
right.”

“Your corn looks ﬁne, too.”

traveler. ' ' ' “ ”

“Anybody that’s a' mind to learn

to know how to raise corn; you have
to. know about the soil, and the seed,
and how to raise the crop. I’ve got
is h e b e s t machinery anywhere
around; and it pays. 'A. man can’t
afford these days to buy inferior
stock or tools; and then he’s got to
keep everlastingly on the job.”

A child came running out into the
yard, brown as a berry, but thin and

' sleepy looking.

“How many children have you?"
asked the traveler.

. “Nine!” replied the raiser Of prize
pigs. “Some family, eh?”

“And I suppose you and your wife
have made a study of how to raise a.
prize family of children?” -

“Now you’re kiddin’ me! I reckon
what’s good enough for their dad is
good enough for them.”

“But is it? You don’t expect your
small pigs to eat what your big hogs
eat. You don’t make prize hogs
that way. When you’re, growing a.
prize pig you don’t say ‘It’s going to
get no more than its mother had,’
but ‘what does this pig need?”—
and that pig won’t get it unless you
give it to him. You know every
point of a prize hog; do you know
every point of a prize 6-year old
girl or boy? Or a 10-year old? Or
a 2—year old?”

“ ’Pears as if it’s goin’ to rain,”
said the farmer. “I’ll have to be
getting the cultivator under the
shed. It’s new this year and I don’t
want it to get wet and rust. If you
want to keep good machinery you
just have to take care of it."

 

 

Mothers Problems

 

 

HOBIE-WORK

0 sooner does a child start in

school than he wants to bring

his book home. He wants to
show Mamma and Daddy his lesson,
and, if he is ambitious, he wants to
be helped a little on his lesson so
that he may have a perfect recita-
tion the next day.

Such an attitude is highly com-
mendable. Help at home has sent
many a child skipping through the
grades. But home-help must be
wisely and carefully given, else it
proves detrimental, rather than ben-
eﬁcial, to the child.

Ascertain ﬁrst of all the methods
your child’s teacher uses in the dif—
ferent studies. If she does not
teach the alphabet, but instead
teaches reading wholly by sounds, do
not tear down her good work by
laboring with your little child over
the alphabet. She’ll never thank
you for such hindrance to her sys-
tem,rand, worst of all, your child
will not be benefitted.

However anxious you are for your
child to get ahead, do not do his
work for him. As he gets into the
higher grades and is confronted by
real problems in arithmetic and by
compositions to write, do not, in
your eagerness to help him, do his
work for him and expect him to re—
ceive a 100 per cent grade’ when ex-
aminations come. .

I know a mother who cut and
made a bungalow apron for her little
girl who was supposed to cut and
make one as home-work in her sew-
ing class. The girl took the apron
to school, expecting to receive full
credit for the work she hadn’t done.
The teacher, however, was suspic-
ious. She didn’t accuse. Instead,
however, she asked this little girl to
demonstrate the cutting and making
of an apron to the class! The child
was all at sea. She ended up in a
tearful confession. It was not her
fault she had been dishonest; it was
the fault of her mother who had
easily persuaded her that she could
make the apron and the child would
receive her credit.

Home—help properly given is of
untold value to both the ambitious,
and the backward child—but it must
be both properly and conscientious-
ly given.

TIIE DOG'S CHOICE

N the early days, the Earth was
I divided by a chasm. On one side
lived Man, the Animal Who Thinks,
on the other side lived the Animals
Who Do Not Think. It did not oc—
cur to any of the animals, not even
the Wise Elephant, to try and jump
across the chasm.

Except one.

Dog sat‘ on the edge of the chasm,
ears cocked, and'whined. He crouch-
ed as though to leap. The other an-
imals paid no heed.

“Come!” cried Man.

The chasm was very Wide. Yet a
look of answer came in Dog’s brown
eyes, and he lept. Too wide was
the chasm! Only Dog's forepaws
struck the further side of the abyss.

But Man stooped down, lifted Dog
ﬁrmly and placed him on the hither
side of the chasm, among the Ani:
mals Who Think.

A daring attempt for a. good ambi-
tion will always have some success.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Nedz—May I come in? I
wrote to you once before but it was not
in print. I am ten years old. My birth-
day was the let of January. Have I
a twin? I have a big brother in Green-
ville, Pa. I have been through the state
of Michigan from north to south and it
was sure a nice trip. I have one sister
and two brothers. We have 80 acres of
land, and for pets I have a. cat named
Tom and a calf named Polly. There is
no school this week as we have best
vacation. I wish some of the cousins
would write to me for it is very lonesome.
Well as my letter is getting long I will
close with a riddle. What cats and cats
and never gets full? The one who guesses
it I will write to. Your loving niece—
Onahlee Lockwood, Pompeii, Michigan.

Dear Uncle Ned :-—-It is said that when
the nest becomes crowded that some of
the birds are pushed over the edge, but
I hope that I won't be the one that is
pushed over the edge this time. I had
one of my letters published when I was
about ten years old. I have written
several times since but I guess I was
pushed out of the nest each time. Isn't
the weather getting cold? All of the
ﬂowers are frosted and it seems so lone-
some when the leaves fall from the trees.
My sister younger than me likes autumn,
but I suppose it’s because her birthday
is in October. but I love spring. Don’t
you, Uncle Ned? I guess I'd better de-
scribe myself. I am ﬁve feet two and
one—half inches tall, have brown hair,
black eyes and am dark complexioned.
I was ﬁfteen years old on the 11th day
of May. Have I any twins? I know of
one. Her name is Cora. Spaelma. We
have been corresponding since August
We have sent each other our pictures, so
we nearly know each other even though
we haven‘t seen one another. Now.

I like to go to school and‘winh every-r.

like the idea? I graduated from the
tenth grade this June, but as we haven‘t
a twelfth grade here I quit, for I didn't
want to go away from home, much as I
wanted to go through the twelfth grade.
Then my mother needs me at home as
my father is working on a dam at Bam-
ﬂeld. I was reading Eleanor Stovel’s
letter, Where she was telling about her
visit to the Niagara Falls. I also have
seen the Falls, but I was only ﬁve years
old when I was there, so I don’t remem-
ber it very well. Two years ago this
summer my mother and two of my sis-
ters went out to Kansas and Missouri.
They went for one of my sisters’ health,
as she has been sickly since she was
ﬁve years old. I stayed with my mar—
ried sister. Oh! but I was lonesome.
Well, Uncle Ned, I must close or you

surely won’t print my letter, Your lov-
ing niece,—Gladys Corbin, Stanwood.
Michigan.

-——Yes, I guess we can spare some space
for one or two pieces of poetry each
issue if the cousins want us to. Maybe
some of the girl and boy poets who are
members of the Children's Heur can
send some original poems. Who will be
the ﬁrst one to do that?

I hope I pass. There are six incur class.
There are «16 in our room: six 6th grad-
ers, eight 8th graders, and two 7th grad-
ers. Our 7th graders are dumb. They

and four horses, three cats, one dog. Well
I guess I will give room for other letters.

Jump over the waste paper basket.

 

Dear Uncle Ned:-—I was surprised to
see my letter in print, so after all the
waste paper basket did not catch my
letter. Gladys Carlson and Edna. Mc-
Intyre did not guess my 88‘s right, so
they better try again. For two weeks
my mother went for a visit with my
brother and his wife, her sister and bus-
band, in an. auto. Cora Spartons, sent
in the .words of “Star of the East.” for
Iris Arnold, and you, Uncle Ned said she
had them, would you please send the
words to me? I know the tune, but not
the words. I like that song den't you
Uncle Ned? I also have been taking
music lessons, but I stopped taking them
because my teacher was so busy. But
I will take them again after a. while.
Just think Uncle Ned, I have three nieces,
their names are Goldie, Ethel and Doris.
My one sister is married and two brothers.
they each have a. baby girl. Ethel calls
me Dusty, and Doris calls me Dot—ta. I
will have to ring off and let some of the
other cousins use the line once. I am
getting rather selﬁsh. Good~bye. Your
loving niece_,_—Dorothy Postma, R. 1,
Box 8, Rudyard, Michigan.

 

Dear Uncle Ned:-——Here \comes another
jolly farmer girl of eleven years to join
your merry circle. I have read the Chil-
dren’s Hour many, many times. I have
a girl friend who wrote a letter over four
years ago to the M. B. F. asking the
boys and girls to write. Several wrote
and she is now corresponding with four.
So I am going to ask the boys and girls
to write to me and see if I can do as
well. I will be in the 5th grade when
school starts. We are getting a new
state trunk line past our house so there
is lots of work around here for men.
Don’t you’want a job? Ha! Ha! It has
been terribly hot and dry up here for
some time but it is raining tonight and
we are all very glad. We have some nice
lakes up this way to go bathing in. My
two girl chums and I went swimming
yesterday and we had a glorious time.

Dear Uncle Nedz—Your delightful
Children’s Hour interests me so much
that I have decided to join your merry
circle. I am just a small town girl of
the northern part of Michigan. I am a
lover of the woods and I enjoy many
tramps and (stamping trips in the woods.
The spring of the year seems so fresh
looking. It seems like everything is
coming to life after being dead all winter.
In the fall of the year, the woods are
so pretty and deligth Just like a kid.
I love to drag my feet in the fallen
leaves. The spring and tall are my few
orite seasons, I am also a. lover of read-
ing and I read a lot. My favorite au-
thors are Zane Grey, Harold Bell Wright,
and ,Henry Khibbs. Those who have
read "Rambling Kid", how did you like
it? Didn’t you fall in love with the
“Kid”? I did, and I thought the whole
story was just fine. Another story I
like very much is “Heart of the Desert.”
If any girl between the ages of sixteen
and twenw who lives in Mesick. Michi-
gan, would care to write to me I would
appreciate it very much. Also other
members who would write to me, will
receive an answer to their letters. Best
wishes to Uncle Ned and all the cousins.
Sincerely yours—Josephine Damon, Box
86, Sidnaw, Michigan.

Dear Uncle Ned :—May I join your
merry oh‘ole? We take the M. B. F. and
away it Very much. I have read the Chil-
dren’s Hour for over a year. I am in the
8th grade at school. My age is between
18 and 17. Who guesses my age will
receive a long letter from me. My birth-
day is on the 7th day of September.
Have I a twin? My home is 2% miles

one," he went on after a pause,
“but the labor unions have been
very shortsighted in their policy of
trying to restrict the numbers in in-
divilual organizations. I believe in
the American working man. I her
lieve in his patriotism and in his de—
sire to be fair and generous. but he
does not understand and the result
is that he too often acts in deﬁance
of his 'own best interests.

“The average American worker
cent‘ers all his attention on a strug-

Agle for higher wages. He thinks

that money is something that is of
value in itself and does not realize
that it is only a convenient means of
exchange and is worth only just he
much as the goods behind it. It
ought to be easy to see that n is bet—
ter to get $20 for which you can get

$20 worth of goods, than to receive

$30 which can be exchanged for only
$15 worth of goods.

A new oil lamp that gives an amazingw

ly a g g  'Fwerse for them-
selves. They have forced wages up.
it 'is‘true, but they have also forced
up the expense of living for not only
themselves but for everyone else.
this kind of artiﬁcial and false pros-
perity in one industry means depres-
sion in other industries,‘ which
means in turn a. falling off in pro-
duction and a lessened value for the
dollar. If the building industry could
command all the workers it needed
wages might not be 80 high, but they

Awould buy more and that would

bring prosperity to a hundred other
industries.

“The same thing holds true in the
coal industry. The anthracite un-
en policy of the building trades bod-
ice with the result that there is a
shortage of 'labor in the anthracite
ﬁelds and a great surplus in the soft
coal regions. That kind of thing is
happening all over the country with
equally disasterous results. We can
never get'the proper balance in pro-
duction until there is a free inter-
change of labor so that men can
move without restriction in those
directions where their services are
most needed."

- The Russian Way

“Can the Government offer any
help in solving that problem?" I
asked.

“No,” said Mr. Roberts, with un—
ions havefollowed the same mistak—
usual emphasis. “This is the kind
of thing that has happened in Bus—
sia. People are always wanting to
lay all their troubles on the Govern-
ment and think that a law will rem—
edy anything. You can not dictate
to a man What kind of Work he is to
do and where he is to -do it. He
must be given a free choice."

“Then what is the remedy?”

“Education. The fundamental
principles of economies are very sim-
ple and do not require any great
mental ability to grasp. The ﬁrst
thing Americans have got to learn
is, the meaning of money. This

L foolish idea that high wages mean

prosperity must be gotten out of
their heads. The only real prosper-
ity is spelled production and every-
thing that interferes with production
interferes with prosperity. That
ought to be easy to understand but
apparently it is not. Before a man

‘ is elected head of a labor organiza—

tion he should be required to take an
examination in the ﬁrst principles of
economics. The Government might
help by making simple economics an
obligatory subject in our schools.”

and began to look at watch—chains.

“That’s a voilent specimen of a
chromo you’ve got up there,” re-
marked Silver, casual. to the pawn—
broker, “But I kind of enthuse over
the girl with the shoulder-blades and
red bunting. Would an offer of
$2.25 for it cause you to knock over
any fragile article of your stock in
hurrying it off the nail?”

The pawnbroker smiles and goes
on showing us plate watch-chains.

. "That picture," says he, was
pledged a. year ago by an Italian
gentleman. I loaned him $500 on
it. It is called,‘Love's Idle Hour,’
and it is by Leonard de 'Vinchy. Two
days ago the legal time expired, and
it became an unredeemed pledge.
Here is a style of chain that is worn
a great deal now.”

At the end of half an hour me and
Silver paid the pawnbroker $2,000
and walked out with the picture.
Silver got into a cab with it and
started'for Morgan’s ofﬁce. I goes
to the hotel and waits for him. In
two hours Silver comes back.

“Did you see Mr. Morgan?" I asks.
“How much did he pay you for it?"

Silver sits downvand tools with a
tassel on the table cover.

“I never exactly saw Mr. Morgan."
he says, “because Mr. Morgan’s been
in Europe for a month. But what’s
worrying me, Billy. is this: The

HINTS ON MARKETING TURKEYS
RKEY time’s spooning! If you
want top prices for your birds,

, here’s a few tips from the Unit-
ed States Department of Agricult-
ure. ’

Range fattening is more satisfact-
ory than pen fattening, the depart-
ment says. Begin fattening about
three weeks or a month before mar-
keting, and proceed gradually by
feeding lightly on corn in the morn-
ing and again in the evening a short
mno'before the turkeys go to roost.
Increase the quantity of corn fed
gradually until the birds are getting
all they will eat. Be careful not to
feed new corn too heavily until the
turkeys have become accustomed to
it, to prevent digestive troubles.

Good sized, well matured birds in‘

good condition for fattening can oft-
en be marketed to best advantage at
Thanksgiving. Small, immature
turkeys should be held until Christ-
mas, for further fattening, but if the
birds are unthrifty market them at
once. Sales outlets to raisers with-
in express shipping distance of good
markets are local consumers, local
buyers and dealers, more distant
buyers or dealers and cariot shippers,
and receivers or commission merch-
ants of live or dressed poultry in the
large cities.
available outlet stu‘y shipping
charges and keep in touch with both
local and distant buyers as to price.
Distant buyers will mail quotations
on request. .

Most producers market their turk-
eys alive. Shipping dressed turkeys
to markets is justiﬁed only when
making local sales or there is an
unusually favorable outlet for the
dressed product. Shipping coops
should be high enough to enable the
birds to stand up. A coop three
feet long, two feet wide and twenty
inches high will accommodate ﬁve
or six turkeys. Overcrowding may
result in bruising which detracts
from the market value; overcrowd-
ing may also cause death and com-
plete loss. -

If the birds are on the road only a
few hours, do not feed before ship-
ping. If they are on the road a long-

er time water and feel liberally to.

prevent shrinkage in weight. Ship
in time to place the turkeys on the
market a day or two before the hol—
iday. Late arrivals may reach on
overstocked market, and arrival aft-
er the holiday usually means lower
prices.

Killing and dressing , birds is
simple when properly done. Hang
up the turkeys by their legs and with
a single stroke push the point of a

j sharp knife up through the roof of

the mouth into the brain. When
properly done this operation paral-
lyzes the bird and loosens the feath-
ers so that they come out easily
Then sever the veins in the throat
just beyond the skull for bleeding.
The turkey should be dry picked,
and plucked clean. Thoroughly cool
the carcass after plucking, inasmuch
as failure to remove all animal heat
promptly will result in early spoil—
age. Cool either by hanging outdoors
if the temperature is between 30 and
45 degrees, or by immersing in cold
running spring water or ice water.

When thoroughly chilled, the car-
casses are ready for shipment. A
barrel is a convenient shipping con—'
tainer. Place a layer of cracked ice
in the bottom of the barrel, then a.
layer of turkeys, followed alternate-
ly by layers of ice and turkeys, and
topped off with a. layer of ice. Tack
burlap over the top of the barrel.

Caution! If you are building up
a permanent turkey business be sure
to retain as many of the ﬁnest, larg-
est, quickest growing young birds
needed to rear the next year’s ﬂock
and send the rest to market.

QUALITY OF EGGS
W many eggs does your dock
averaﬁe? ,What wasihe highest
‘ indivi nal production?

_ How much do your eggs weigh per
dozen? How shapely are they? Is
their color uniform or hit a bit un-
certain?

The foregoing are turo sets of
questions worthy the consideration

includes much besides

To determﬁne the best'

     
 

tom; mandarin:

of any poultryman. The former set
usually receives the bulk of thought,
and hens are bred with a view to
number of eggs rather than size,
shape and color. Quality of course,
size, shape
and color, but these are prominent
points and go a long way toward de-
terming the market value.

It is exceedingly common to ﬁnd
small eggs in the nests along with
the medium and large. It is just as
common to ﬁnd eggs with certain
very noticoable characteristics that
render them unattractive for the
market. For instance, among the
white eggs there is one that shows
distinct touches of brown. There is
one that shows a. tendency toward
being speckled—a shower of little
brown spots on it. There is one with
a rough, unﬁnished point to the shell.
Among the brown eggs there are
pales and darks; eggs with even col-
oring or uneven. -

Now it may be plain prejudice on
the part of city folks that use our
eggs, but they want uniformity. They
want a white egg they want it beaut-
ifully white. If they like the brown
they want it uniformly colored.

Likewise, they want eggs that ﬁll
the little compartments of the car-
tons reaSc. .bly snugly. Every pur-
clnser of eggs at the grocery store
feels that he is cheated if he can feel
and hear the eggs roll about in the

carton; even one loose egg gives an~

uncomfortable feeling.

, The point at issue is that number
of eggs is not the only. evidence of
a valuable hen. The producer of
200 eggs in a year that grade No. 1
or fancy is worth more than the pro—
ducer of 210 or even 225 that grade
low.

Therefore, is it not time for more
attention to be paid to the second
set of questions at the head of this
article? Is it not time for the
poultryman to become as careful
about the size, shape and color and
general quality of the eggs laid by in-
dividual hens in his breeding ﬂock
as about the number of eggs they
lay? -
As stated before, quality includes
much more than size, shape and
color, but the other elements are
more easily controlled. Feeding and
care of the eggs after laying are out-
standingly important in the matter
of getting quality. The feeding is
more of a scientiﬁc matter than the
care, perhaps, but plenty of fresh
water, plenty of green. feed, a grain
and mash ration balanced and fed,

"according to the many- experiment

station recommendations, and char-
coal, grit and oyster shell are the
fundamentals of feeding. Gare means
among other things, frequent gath-
ering during warm weather, keeping

in well—cooled quarters and early de-

livery to market. .
Did you ever break an egg into a
saucer and try to pick it up with the
thumb and ﬁngers of one hand? Try
it. You Can not pick up a saucerful
of water that way. If you can lift
the entire egg, leaving only a little
moisture in the saucer, the likeli-
hood is that it will qualitfy as a ﬁrst-
class egg. At least, the cook in the
high-class restaurant or hotel de-
ponds to a large extent upon this
test when considering an offering of
eggs. But you may depend upon it
that an egg that has been held a
long time and become stale will not
thus pick up. Neither will it if it
has remained in the nest several
hours after being laid. Nor does
quality hold up when improper feeds
are given, though usually a hen goes
on a strike- and will not lay at all if
she gets feed that is lacking in some
essential in the production of good
e . Hons do not cheat you; they
not put poor material in their
products if there is a chance to avoid

on American farms. This is a direct

mannered by the individual farm-‘

or, although in many cases he has
not been aware of it because he was
not thoroughly conversant with tho
fertilizing value of manure, and con-
sequently did not take the proper
precautions to conserve it. But
through the work of agricultural ex-
periment stations and agricultural
colleges, the enormity of this loss
has been deﬁnately established, and
,lack of information is no longer a
valid excuse for a farmer losing
large sums'of money on his manure.

The Indiana Agricultural Experi-
ment Station estimates that one-
third of all the manure is wasted. In
the opinion of this institution In-

diana farmers alone lose more than
$24,000,000 a year in fertilizing ele-
ments of farm manure. This loss
comes from the failure to save the
liquid content;
mentation of the manure; and leach-
ing, or the washing out of soluble
plant food. Pound for pound the li-
quid content is worth more than the
solids ‘and the greatest single item
of loss is the liquid content. Where
the manure is thrown outside the
barn, with no protection, the liquid
content soaks into the ground, the
plant food is washed out by the rain,
and uncontrolled fermentation large-
ly destroys the value of the remaind-
er. The New Jersey Agricultural Ex»
periment Station found in a test case,
that over half of the fertilizing value
of barnyard manure was lost by ex-
posure, while in Maryland a test of
eighty tons of manure showed a loss

uncontrolled fer- ,

of two-thirds of its value in one
year.

To give proper protection to barn-
yard manure, leak-proof pits are a
necessity. Frequently farm work
makes it impossibleto haul manure
out on the ﬁeld daily, so such a pit
is required tovproperly store it. ‘If
thrown on the ground, liquid con-
tent is lost, but if kept in a proper
pit this valuable part of the manure
is saved, and may be kept indeﬁnite-
ly.

Concrete pits will not leak. A
simple and inexpensive form of con-

crete pit may be built like a ShalIOW'

enclosure alongside the barn, locat-
ed so that it is easy to throw manure
out of barn windows into the pit and
ilkewise easy. to load from the pit in-
to the manure spreader. As it is us-
ually not practical to use enough
bedding to absorb all liquids, a cis-
tern should be built near the pit .to
hold the unabsorbed portion. For
the cistern and pit ﬂoor use concrete
mixed. in the proportion of one sack
of portland cement to two cubic feet
of pebbles. The proportion for the
walls should be 1:215 :4. The walls
of the pit should be built ﬁrst. When
.the' ﬂoor is placed a one-half inch
space should be left around the edge
which is later filled with tar to make
a watertight joint. For ten cows a
pit 16 feet long by 16 feet wide and
4 feet deep is large enough. For 20
cows the pit should be 24 feet long
by 20 wide and 4 feet deep..——-W. G.

DAIRY and LIyESTocK

BREEDS OF DAIRY CATTLE
EGINNING with this issue The
Business Farmer will publish a
series of articles on the ﬁve
breeds of dairy cattle that have at-
tained considerable prominence in
the United States. These articles
are prepared by a specialist in dairy
husbandry of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and were recently is-
sued in bulletin form. The ﬁrst to
be discussed is the Holstein-Friesian

cattle. Watch for these articles.

Origin and History

In the low countries bordering on
the North Sea, especially in the
northern part of Holland, Holstein-
Friesian cattle have been bred for
centuries. The land is rich and feb-
tile and pastures are exceptionally
good. Different names have been

used to designate the breed, both in .

Europe and America, among which
the following are the more common;
North Hollander, Holland, ‘Nether—
land, Holstein - Friesian, Dutch.
Dutch-Friesian, and Holstein. The
last is the name usually used in this

~ country, although Holstein—Friesian

is the ofﬁcial name.

Importations and “Distribution

The Dutch settlers in the State of
New York probably were the ﬁrst to
import individuals of the Holstein-
Friesian breed, but the ﬁrst importa-
tions of which records exist were
made between 1867 and 1862 by W.
W. Chenery, of Massachusetts, and
many of our present-day animals are
descended from these importations.
For a time the trade in imported
Holsteins ﬂourished, but in recent
years very few animals have been
imported, owing largely to the
quarantine which, on account of con-
tagious animal diseases, has been in
effect a large part of the time
against continental European coun-
tries. -

Holsteins have grown greatly in

numbers and popularity in recent

years, owing in a great degree to the
increased demands of large cities for
market milk. Cattle of the breed

Middle Western and Paciﬁc sections
next in order. With the exception
of the Jersey, there are more Hol-
stein cattle in the United States than
of any other dairy breed.
Characteristics

A universal characteristic of the
Holstein—Friesian cattle is the black
and white color of their coats. The
sharply deﬁned and contrasting col-
ore of jet black and pure white give
them a very striking appearance. Al-
though either color may predomin-
ate, black below the knees is ob-
jectionable. Purebred animals with
any red or gray in their coats are in-
eligible to registry.

In disposition Holsteins are do-
cile, even tempered/and not excit-
able; in fact, they are rather lazy in
general habits, as shown in their
poor “rustling” ability in grazing
scanty pastures. They are large
consumers of feed, especially rough—
age, and do best when plenty is read-‘
ily available. .

The Holstein is the largest of the
dairy breeds. It has a large, bony
frame, which often is smoothly cov-
ered over all parts. Cows at matur-
ity vary in weight from 1,100 to
1,800 pounds (average about 1,250
pounds); bulls range from 1,500 to
2,500 pounds (average about 1,800
pounds). The calves are usually
thrifty and vigorous at birth and

make rapid growth. The birth
weight varies from 7 0 to 1 1 0
pounds, in some cases exceeding

even the latter ﬁgure. Heifers reach
maturity in frame at about 4 years,
although increases in body weight
occur up to 6 or 7 years of age. As
a breed the Holstein shoWs good con-
stitutional vigor.
 Production

From the point of view of quanti-
ty of milk produced, Holsteins aver—
age higher than any other breed.
The percentage of butterfat, howev-
er. which averages lower than that
of any other dairy breed. tends to
counterbalance the advantage of a
greater milk production. The but—
terfat of - Holstein milk is,» in the

FALL DAIRYING

CCASIONALLY we hear objec-

tions urged against dairy farm-

ing due to the fact that it is a
year—a—roun’d- job. While this is in
a sense true, it is offset by the fact
that the income is as continual as
the labor. To make fall dairying
successful, there are a number of
things that must be taken into con-
sideration. If fall dairying is looked
after at this season of the year, a
splendid opportunity for proﬁtable
production is offered during the lat-
ter months of the year. Now is a
good time to get everything ready
in the way of stable quarters and the
food supply. It is also a good time
to get together the late fall and wint-
er herds. Keep the cows now com—
ing fresh in the best milking condi—
tion and they will be the ones of
greatest proﬁt during the next nine
months. -

If you have not enough cows look
about for more and be careful to se—
lect those that will freshen soon.
Feed them well until they calve and
then give them all the food they
want. This is a good time of the
year to test the cows and ﬁnd out
what they are doing in the way of
production It does not pay to keep
a poor cow in the herd if a good one
can just as well take her place.
Neitherydoes it pay to carry on Wint—
er dairying with a lot of strippers un-
less they have been good milkers all
spring and summer, and you. are
keeping them out of respect for what
they have been.

This is a good season of the year
to look around for a good dairy sire
if you are needing one. You Will
have him to use in December and
January, the best time for breeding:
cows intended for milking. Get, if
possible, a sire out of a very good
miIker as he is more likely to trans-
mit the qualities of his dam than his
sire.

At this season of the year it is a
good time to get together the winter
feed for the stock. Provide plenty
of good hay and fodder. The silo
should be ﬁlled. Have plenty of
good straw close at hand. It can’t
be put to better use than under the
milk cow often during the winter. A
good warm stable with plenty of
windows for light and ventilation is
necessary Where cows are kept for
winter dairying and it is quite as
necessary to have a good ﬂoor in the
stall so that the animals can be kept
in comfort and in a clean condition.

Plan a yard close to the barn
where the cows can be kept to them-
selves and not be bothered by colts
and steers In this yard have water,
salt and hay always on hand So that
the cows can get at it when they feel
so inclined.

We have suggested a pretty good
program for one season. There is
no danger that it will all be done,
but there are some things that can
be done this fall. which will make
fall dairying a successful undertak-
ing. .

WASTE BY POOR STORAGE

RE is a fearful waste in this
country caused by poor storage

of grain on the farm. The
principal loss is caused by moisture
and rodents. 01d makeshift bins
and cribs that have long passed their
usefnlness are still housing valuable
gain. By water and snow leaking
in much grain is damaged by mould,
m and decay, and little holes on
any cane: admit rodents that des-
uw great quantities of grain every

the market speculators which tends
to lower the price. '

Sheet metal bins and cribs have
been tested out for several years and
are giving splendid satisfaction.
They have the advantage of being
fire, rat and moisture proof, and
grain housed in them can be used as
collateral on loans or advances.
Nothing is safer than good grain
housed in a safe place. These bins

,can be locked up and the key turned

over to the banker or party who
makes the loan. The renter can di-
vide his crop with the land owner,
and each can hold his share in a
safe and secure place until it reaches
the market. The time has come for

‘better and more permanent build-

ings, and we will see more of these
metal storage bins used in the fut-
every re-
quirement.———A. L. Haecker.

RAISING THE SIGMMJLK CALF
OOD results in calf raising re-
G quire that the milk fed be fresh.
One of the common causes of
indigestion, and its most \pronounced
symptom, scours, is feeding stale
milk. It is possible to use sour
milk successfully if the calf is once
accustomed to it and if it is fed in
the same condition regularly. Feed-
ing milk that has been standing 24
hours, or even 12 hours, is danger—
ous. Milk that is not really sour
but old and stale is far more danger—
ous than milk that is soured with a
pure acid taste. The younger the
calf the more sensitive it is to the
condition of the milk.

Fortunately the farm separator
has solved the problem of getting
good milk for calf feeding wherever
cream is sold.

Another cause of sickness in hand
raised calves is feeding from dirty
pails or cans. Every utensil that
comes in contact with milk which is
to be used for calf feeding should be
kept as clean and scalded as thoroly
as tho. the food was to be used by
the family. We have seen a farm-
er take a can of skimmilk out to the
calf lot, take the pail off the top of a
post and proceed to feed the calves.
When he was through the bucket
was again turned over the post.
Feeding a bunch of calves in a pig
trough is sometimes done. Sooner
or later calves compelled to drink
milk under such conditions will be
sick with a bad case of scours and
the owner will probably say he never
did have any luck with skimmilk
calves.

It is just as important to keep the
pen clean in which calves are kept in
the barn. Experience has taught
many men that calves will not do
well in a damp, dirty pen or stall.
Under such conditions pneumonia is
almost certain to give trOuble. The
calf needs all the sunlight it can get.
In arranging the barn do not put the
calf pen in a dark corner because
the space is‘ difficult to use for other
purposes. The calf pen,...should be
given the sunniest place in the barn.-

comfortable by allowing access to a
"darkened stable during the day
time. Breeders of valuable pure-
bred calves ﬁnd it a good practice to
inclose a small pen with fly scree
.for the very young calves. ’

If there is any other good use for
the skimmilk, the skimmilk calf
should be ‘weaned at the age of six
months. If the milk is needed es-
pecially for other purposes it may be
cut out of the ration at ﬁve months.
When the calf reaches this age it is
capable of eating enough grain and
hay to continue its growth uncheck-
ed after the milk is taken out.
Weaning should be made gradually.
‘The milk allowance is cut perhaps
one—fourth, then after three or four
days to one-half, and ﬁnally elimin-
ated. The grain ration should be
continued for some time at least aft-
er the milk feeding is discontinued.
The mistake is sometimes made of
cutting off both the milk _and grain
at once and turning the calf out to
pasture to shift for itself. This is
too great a change to be made at
once and results in the growth of
the animal ‘being checked for two
months or more.

 

JEST T0 RESUME

ES, an’ mebbe to presume, or

whatever the word is—I ain’t

writ anything in some little time
’cause my pen wuz out 0’ order an’
I didn’t have any ink an’ my mind
wuz—well you know what it wuz.
With all the bootleg’ stuff goin
’round, a man’s mind might be any—
thing but a swill bar’el. You know
there’s nice things ’bout hogs ’sides
jest bacon an’ hams? They won’t
drink bootleg whisky. All right,
class me with ’em if you like, but I
won’t drink either. An’ I ain’t hol—
lerin’ for no ﬁve per cent stuff to
take the place of the lick‘er we used
to have neither.

:But, while you’ve been readin' zmy
letters right along, I ain’t been writ-
in’ so often. You see I am like the
ol’ Methodist preachers—when the
“sperrit” calls say somethin’. Oh
yes, the sperrit has called but bein’
out of ink I couldn’t answer the call.

But now that a kind friend has
given me part of a bottle 0’ ink I’m
at it agin. It won’t be much to brag
of ’cause I want to save my ink. But
folks, there’s a lot of things goin’
on that riles me an’ mebbe riles you.
In Oklahoma the Klu Kluxes are
tryin’ to run things. So is Gov. Walt—
on—they’re hevin’ a hot time of it
taken altogether. Well, that ain’t
all—Detroit an’ Wayne County kinda
wants to run the state of Michigan
—ain’t it? An' they say child labor
ain’t used in the sugar beet ﬁelds—
look up the records of these men an’
mebbe you’ll ﬁnd they’re interested
in the sugar beet bizness—ets allus
wise to know a man ’fore you place
too much faith into ’im. In Ken—
tucky convicts are holding a jail—a
siege is on an to a day or two
ago the convicts Were havin’ the best
of it.

Farmers are at the mercy of spec-
ulators an’ are losin’ money on most
everything they raise.

Two thousand people are killed in
a year by poisoned hootch—if they
didn’t drink it they wouldn’t be
killed but that’s neither here nor
there so we’ll say nothin’ ’bout it.
45 or 50 thousand are killed by
automobiles every year——some of our
able statesmen, preachers an’ such,
want to amend the liquor laws an'
make the stuff easier to git, but heve

neither do you or I. We had lots of
’em when s’loons wuz runnin’ wide

the country was ﬂooded with ﬁve per

any other so—called light stuff. An’
the congressmen are talkin’ of pass—
in’ laws to help the farmer—some-
thin’ like ﬁxin’ a price for his out—

ish such talk is? As soon as a price
wuz ﬁxed by law to make a thing
prof’table everybody would be rais—
in’ that commodity an’ the world——
or government would be swamped.

I work and deem it an honor to
work for the largest food factory in
the world. When the supply ex-
ceeds the demand they immediately
cut down the supply. If the farmers
would do the same there would be
no call for help from the gover’ment
or from any other source—supply
never has an’ never will create de‘

work——give it a couple years’ trial
an' see how you come out. ‘

An’ even that ain’t the worst—
marriages are exceedin’ births—

to stop gamblin’. The laws won’t

bet on a horse race for mebbe two

men to bet millions on your wheat

that make the nation rich an’ honest
and great. Yes they do it every day
——they ain’t no law agin’ that so in
conclusion I say—if you’re goin’ to
be a thief be a big one—or if you’re
goin’ to be a big’mist get 15 or 20

a hot dog to keep your baby from

prisonment—if you have a penknife
onto you or a corkscrew it’s life an’
mebbe more. Now ain’t it the fact?

An’ yet farmers ask fer farm loans

, Foors’s MARKET LETTER

BY W. W. FOOTE

Improved Business Outlook
EPORTS from business houses,
manufacturers and bankers
show a hopeful feeling, and were
it not for the extreme diﬂiculty ex-
perienced in lifting the price of
wheat to a level allowing a living
proﬁt for owners, the situation
would be fairly satisfactory. Every-
where it is recognized as a matter of
the greatest importance that farmers
should abandon the one—crop policy
which is so dangerous to those who
practice it, and it is fortunate that
so many Michigan farmers are en-
gaging in other lines, such as fruits,
berries, grapes, poultry, etc. Huge
shipments of apples are being made
from Benton Harbor to Chicago, and
a few days ago a train of thirty-ﬁve
cars of apples, the largest that ever
left Michigan, reached Benton Harb-
or on its trip from Bangor, Michigan,
to Chicago, each car containing from
three hundred to four hundred bush-
els of choice apples. Some of the
enterprising farmers of northern
Indiana are accomplishing great re-
sults from onion culture, and a farm-
er of Kosciusko County has grown
8,000 crates of onions on thirteen
acres, which are worth $3.20 per 100
pounds delivered at the railroad.
The muck land thereabouts is admir-

ably adapted for growing onions.

A Chicago grain man who has
been over the northwest says that
the corn crop in Minnesota and
South Dakota is in fairly good shape
to move. There is a large yield
there, and Minnesota is becoming a
dairy state to an extent that will ab-
sorb the greater part of the coarse
grains. Farmers in Minnesota, he
says, are doing well where they have
diversiﬁed their crops and gone into
dairying. In North Dakota where
they have followed this rule they are
also doing better.

Advanced Farming Methods

The National Geographical Maga-
zine for October has an intensely in-
teresting article showing the meth-
ods that are revolutionizing farming
operations. It contains a picture of
a “combine” at work on a Canadian
farm. This gigantic machine cuts,
threshes and delivers to the wagon
alongside more than one hundred
acres of wheat a day. Many elder-
ly people can remember the time
when it would have required the lab-
or of about three hundred men to ac-
complish the work in the same time,
to say nothing of twenty-eight
horses to haul the grain. Even the
binder and threshing machine would
call for about sixty men and forty
horses for cutting, hauling in and
threshing a hundred acres of wheat
in a day. Another picture of bonan-
za farming in Canada shows work on
a seven-thousand-acre farm, illus-
trating the character of the competi-
tion the American farmer must meet
in the future. One tractor and six
men do the work of twenty—eight
horses and fourteen men, with horse-
drawu binders. The article points
out that the high cost of labor will
do more than any other agency to
bring about lower production costs
on the farm by necessitating an in-
creased substitution of machines for

hands. .
The Grain Markets
It is evident that putting wheat on
a higher price basis cannot be done
by applying the law of supply and
demand, the farmer being out of all
oportions, and after waiting for
oped for outside help, prices lost
much of their recent advance.
World’s avail-able stocks of wheat
increased nearly 53,000,000 bushels
in September, and are now estimated
at 215,000,000 bushels, or 38,000,000
bushels more than last year. Europe
shows no disposition to buy freely,
and exports are still running far be-
low a year ago. Minneapolis mills
are grinding at 62' per cent of their
capacity, against 68 per «at last
year, and mill feed in that market is
off $1.50 to $2 a ton. Excellent crop
reports are coming from the south-
west, plenty of rains having fallen.

United States is up to 66,000,000
bushels, comparing with 33,411,000
bushels a year ago. It is obviously
impossible to tell just what the fud-
ture will develops, but perhaps it
would be a good plan to hold back
part of the crop and see what takes
place. The bears place much stress
upon the appearance of Russia as an
exporter of wheat. With rye selling
as much as 37 cents below wheat, it
fails of a good export movement.
Late sales were made in the Chicago
market of December wheat at $1.05,
comparing with $1.12% a year ago,
showing a marked recent decline.
Farmers Sell Corn

Old corn is a mighty scarce article,
but the new crop is a big success,
and there is a growing tendency
among farmers of the corn belt to
sell as much old corn as they can
spare, the prevailing impression be-
ing that market prices are good and
worth taking. While predictions are
fallible, it seems not unlikely that
corn will settle later on a lower
price basis. At any rate, the coun-
try shows more disposition to sell
new corn to arrive. Not long ago
yellow corn was sold in the Chicago
market at $1.14 a bushel, being 11
cents higher than during the previ-
ous week, and the highest price paid
since September, 1920. In recent
years it sold as high as $1.85 to
$2.36. Oats are not selling very
high, and much is being fed on
farms. All the grains are exported
much less freely than a year ago; yet
the visible oats supply is but half
that of last year. On the other hand,
that of rye aggregates 15,880,000
bushels, comparing with 9,555,000
bushels a year ago. ,December corn
sells on the Chicago market at 75
cents, comparing with 67% cents a

year ago, while December oats sold '

at 42 cents, or the same as a year
ago. .

“Corn is selling above a proﬁtable
feeding basis as compared with the
price of hogs," said Herbert J. Blum,
“Government reports show that in
September the ratio of the number
of bushels of corn required to buy
100 pounds of live hog was 8.5 to 1,
the lowest for that month in over
fourteen years. In July the ratio
was 7.7 to 1 and in June 7.51 to 1.
The annual average for thirteen
years is 11.2 to 1, and it is usually
ﬁgured that when the ratio drops
below’lo to 1 that feeding is not
proﬁtable. I look for farmers to
sell both corn and hogs unless there
is a marked widening of the diner--
ence, and corn will probably have
to decline."

The Hog Problem

T0 feed or not to feed is the ques-
tion which is bothering many stock-
men owning young hogs, and a short
time ago an Indiana farmer wanted
to know whether he should mature
his bunch of 40 youngsters averaging
in weight 150 pounds. Much de-
pends upon whether the farmer is
well equipped for fattening his hogs:
and it is always easy to make mis-
takes, but where the farmer has
plenty of corn and other feeds and
the pigs are healthy, and thriving,
most experienced farmers, it would
seem, would feel like taking a chance
and wait until they tip the scales at
around 200 pounds at least before
marketing. If feed must be bought,
it is another matter. Of course,-the~
farmer must do a little ﬁguring, set-
ting down the probable cost of the
corn consumed and the probable
price the hogs will bring when sold.
It is well to consider the enormous
hog supply in the country, and lower
prices for the remaining months of
the year are looked for. Last week's

   

 

‘

Chicago receipts were overwhelming,
and prices fell with a vengeance,
large numbers being carried over
nightly, with a poor eastern" ship-
ping demand. Light weights sold
much lower than the heavies. The
week’s hog receipts were the largest
since early in July, and prices were
the lowest since then, closing sales
being at $6.15. Heavy butchers
sold highest, being 20 cents above
prime bacon lots. A year ago the
best hogs brought $9.65. Combined
receipts in twenty markets for the
year to date amount to 33,148,000
hogs, comparing with 25,802,000 a
year ago.

Excessive Cattle Receipts

Last week’s Chicago cattle re-
ceipts were enormous, and after
early sharp advances in prices due
to moderate supplies, the later big
runs sent values down at a rapid
pace. Last week’s receipts reached
81,600_cattle, the largest of the year,
and prices were 50 to 75 cents lower.
Steers sold largely at $8.75 to $11,-
75, the week’s top being $12.85 and
closing top $12.25. The better class
sold at $11 and over, with pretty
good lots at $9.50 to $10 and com-
mon kinds at $6.75 to $7.50. Stock-
ers and feeders were off largely 25
to 50 cents, selling at $4.50 to $8.-
25, good lots being taken mainly at
$5.50 to $7. The best calves sold
at $11 to $12.25 and cows and heif-
ers at $4._50_.to $9.

Large Sales of Feeding Lambs

This has been a great year for
the sale of range feeding lambs, and
in addition to the large purchases
made in the Chicago and other mar-
kets, extensive buying has been car-
ried on in the range country. These
purchases do not show up in the
market receipts, so that the pub-
lished statements of shipments of
lambs from western markets are
misleading. Michigan is a heavy
buyer and feeder of lambs this year,
the big corn crop raised this season
acting as a stimulus, while Indiana
and Illinois are going to feed heavily.
The recent government report on the
feeder sheep and lamb business for
the year up to October 1 shows 33
per cent more gone to the country
during July, August and September
than last year. The present indica-
tions are that the far west will feed
less lambs this year and the corn
belt more. Colorado is expected to
feed the usual number of lambs. and
it is now thought that the aggregate
number fed in the country will be
much the same as last year. Feed-
ing lambs going to the country cost
less than a year ago. Breeding ewes
have had a large demand all the
fall, with nowhere near enough to
go around, and high prices are paid,
a few yearlings going as high as $12
per 100 pounds. There is no danger
of eyer-doing the sheep business at
present. The number of .sheep in
the United States on January 1 was
only 37,209,000 head comparing
with 61,504,000 in 1900, while our
population increased 30,000,000.
Last week’s Chicago lamb market
showed a decline of $1 to $1.50 sales
being the lowest since a week earlier
and the lowest since August. Late
sales of lambs were at $9 to $12.80,
feeder lambs fetching $12 to $13.

World’s Potato Crop Short

The world's production of pets-
toes this year was more than 5.000,-
000,000 bushels exclusive of Russia.
The ﬁfteen countries reporting to
date the crop this *year is 79 per
cent of last year’s. Northwestern
Europe produces the largest crops
of potatoes, the soil being especially

that the government intends to do
something to help the farmer but the
buyers who loaded up during the

for the last two weeks the price at
Detroit has advanced a total of six
cents. Buyers expect large receipts
this week as they believe that farm-
ers are willing to sell at present
price levels. ‘

BEANS

The bean market at Detroit be-

fortnight and prices declined. Now
the market seems to be again on
the road to recovery. Demand has
improved and the price gained on
the closing day at Detroit last week.

.The market appears to have con-

siderable strength. Reports reach
us from the bean growing sections

of the state that the new crop is'

yielding well, the high yields being
from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre.
As to the future trend of this market

ference temperature will be a little

above normal and precipitation
(rain or snow) will be a little below.

Wind currents will be such during
the ﬁrst part of this week to induce

that the most part of the ﬁrst half
will be fair with cool nights and
mornings.

About Wednesday the weather
will become unsettled and the temp-

will intensify during Thursday at
which time we expect showers and
high winds. These conditions will
be general during the greater part
of the remainder of the week but the
showers will be mostly light in

will be general but mostly light.
Winds will also be strong, rapidly

There are several Oliver burners
in this vicinity—some in ranges,
some in heating stoves and-some in
big heating stoves in stores, and the
owners think they are
would not think of exchanging them
for coal or wood now. Some have
had trouble with their burners but
have found that it was through their
owu fault—that the tank was not
water tight where the outdoor tank
was used, or the tank was not high
enough above the burner, etc., but
Whenever one follows directions
carefully I think he or she will like
the burner very much. Of course a
change to something new is harder
for some than for others and if
things do not go just right all’the
time some get discouraged, but if
they will use patience and judgment
and especially the Oliver directions,
I believe the burner will be entirely
satisfactory. Sincerely, Mrs. Nor-
man Moyle, Mattawan, Mich.

PRICE FIXING HOLDS NO HOPE
FOR WHEAT FARMERS

(Continued from Page 3)

to make sure that the acreage called
for was not exceeded."

If the price of wheat were ﬁxed,
it is natural to assume that the
prices of ﬂour and bread would be
controlled. It is also logical to as—
sume that demand would develop
for a proﬁt to be guaranteed pro-
ducers of other commodities; cotton,
tobacco, and dairy products. An-
other step, and price ﬁxing would be
carried over into the industrial ﬁeld.
Where will it end? There is no line
that marks a deﬁnite stopping place.

Economic Solution

The American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration has considered the wheat
question an economic problem call-
ing for an economic solution. Legis-
lation can help and has helped by
laying the foundation upon which to
build the economic solution. The
Farm Bureau took the leadership in
demanding storage and credit legis-
lation at Washington that would per-
mit farmers to store their products,
if in their judgment that was the
proﬁtable thing to do and ﬁnance the
selling of them over the consumptive
period instead of “dumping” them
at harvest. The Farm Bureau has
been instrumental in the passage of
laws removing the legal obstructions
in the path of co—operative associa—
tions. Thus, through legislation, the
way has been opened for farmers to
use their own initiative and intelli-
gence in making farming proﬁtable.
The responsibility for success rests

o_n them and not on political repre--

sentatives. The American Farm Bu—
reau believes that the responsibility
is resting where it belongs.

The situation might be illustrated
thus: The Government builds the
concrete highways upon which mer-
chants, bankers and farmers may
operate their automobiles but it does
not presume to operate the automo—
bile of any of these individuals. It
maintains the highways and enforces
the traﬂic rules equitably to all. The
Government also builds the economic
highways along which the business
.of the merchant, the banker and
farmer is carried. The responsibility
of the Government is to see that the
business of each may be transacted
on a basis of equality. There its
responsibility ends.

A price, ﬁxed by the Government,
is here taken to mean a guaranteed
minimum price. ‘

If the supply was so large that the
natural price, set by supply and de-
mand, would be lower than the guar-
anteed price, the Government would
buy in the surplus.

It the Govenment had to dispose
of its purchases at a loss, the deﬁcit
would be met by taxation.

A price satisfactory to the high-
cost producers would be high enough
that theseproducers would continue
to produce wheat and the low-cost
producers would plant additional
acreage when/it is generally agreed
that the world supply of wheat is too
large to sell at a proﬁt to large num-
bers of farmers. .

Acreage which ought to be devot-
ed to other purposes would be used
for wheat and higher taxes would be
necessary. ' r '
Some proposals-include provisions

 

just ﬁne. ,

 

expected from it. On farmers, and
'not on political representatives, rest:

putting penalty’for excess supply up;

.on prOducers. ’ This is proper if.
workable. It may be pointed out that
under the, present arrangement,
without a ﬁxed price, the penalty for
overproduction falls upon the grow-
ers.

Price ﬁxing, once started, would
naturally extend. to numerous com-
,modities. There is no logical stop-
plug place. Heretofore, price regu-
lation in the 'Jnited States has been
held in the ﬁeld of monopoly as in
th ecase of railroads or has been
subject to voluntary arbitration as in
the case of milk (war measures ex-
cepted.)

Price ﬁxing would subject eco-
nomic relationships to politics. Pro-
duction and distribution would be
controlled by government commis-
sions. We would have a kind of
socialism. With prices under polit-
ical control, the farmer would ﬁnd
himself outvoted three to one.

The American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration considers the wheat question
an economic problem that can best.
be solved by economic measures.
Legislation can and should be and
has been used in removing obstruc-
tions in the way of the economic pro—
gram. This is all that should be
