vised to diversify, or in other words,

a! it was. Now. I .do not wish to

discourage anyone from trying to

solve our economic problem, in fact
the more people think along this
line, the sooner a possible solution
may be found. But I am inclined
to offer a word of warning to those
thinking persons who no doubt are
honestly trying to solve the farmers’
problems. If you have a plan, think
,it clear through. What would the
result be if any large number of
persons would do as you suggest?
Let‘s analyse a few remedies for ag-
riculture given by many as advice.

Advice No. 1. If the farmers
Would go home and go to work in-
stead 0f riding around in their auto—
mobiles, they would solve their own
problems. ,

Answer. The farmers’ job is to
produce. Now extend a little more

of your advice and inform them what 7

to produce. Perhaps they might
produce wheat, pork, beef and hides,
or potatoes, all of which we are told
ans already over—abun, nt.
it might be possible for you to hit
upon some special product that
might pay the cost of production,
plus a proﬁt. But then if this great
army of automObile—riders would go
to producing this specialty, they
would only add another item to
@036 already listed in the surplus
column.

Farmers Deserve Good Things

Advice No. 2. The cost of high
living. The farmers don’t live as
they used to. They buy automobiles,
go to moving pictures and wear good
You can hardly tell a
farmer from a successful business
man.

Answer. Agriculture is the source
of 86% of the wealth of our country.
ﬂow if there is something inherent
about farming or agriculture that
places it below any other business,
or industry, or in any way makes it
degrading, then our would-be advis-
ers had better center their energies
in trying to adjust our economic
structure so as to let agriculture

sumo its rightful place along side

\of our other industries.

Advice No. 3. The auto is a
curse to the country and is killing
agriculture.

Answer. The internal conditions
of our country have gone a long
way toward relieving a serious con-
dition which was inevitable follow-
ing the great war. With many of
the countries of the world nearly
banckrupt and unable to buy or pay
for our surplus products what would
if our automobile
factories had not been running full
time and employing thousands of
men at a good wage? This has made
it possible for laboring men not only
to buy and pay for the largest

HARDLY a day passes but What we read of some new
plan to help out the farmer, by some “Moses” who has
kindly consented to lead the farmers out of the darkness.
many of the plans are impossible, many sound good on the

surface, and a few contain real sound sense.

Mr. Bennett

has picked out a few samples of the over-production of ad-
vice offered the farmer, and then proceeded, after much

ployment to other thousands of
workers who in turn bought farm
produce. So I am inclined to think
that the auto craze has saved our
country from a great economic dis—
aster.

Advice to the Wheat Grower

Advice No. 4. To the wheat farm-
ers who have 140, 000, 000 bushels
surplus comes the advice to diversi-
fy and feed wheat.

Answer. Diversiﬁcation means to
produce other products. The wheat
grower might raise potatoes, but we
remember that during the last two
years there have been more pota-
toes growu than ever before and the
price, considering the cost of pro-
duction, plainly shows too great a
production. He might «produce
meat, but I have before me a gov-
ernment report which shows that
meat has increased one billion and
one~half pounds over last year. The
result at this time of diversifying,
would only tend to lower the gener-
al price level of all commodities or
bring all products to a point of sur-
plus.

Self appointed and well meaning
advisors also urge us to feed Wheat,
as wheat has nearly the same feed-
ing value as rye, corn, oats or bar-
ley. This suggestion has some val-
ue, but we must remember -that by
feeding wheat, we would place this
product in competition with these
other grains and, of course, this
would tend to low their" price, so
you see as a general means of
helping agriculture these proposed
remedies fail to accomplish what is
claimed for them.

The difﬁculties of our present sit-
uation are very real. The situation
Our national
leaders realize it. Following is an
extract from the Secretary of Agri-
culture’s speech before a body of
economists: ”In times such as these
good farm management on most
farms is reduced to the simplest
terms and can be.stated very brief—
ly. For example: Produce as much
as you can as cheaply as you can of
what you can produce best; spend
as little as you can; work as hard
as you can, make your Wife and
children work as hard as they can.
Having done this, take what com—
fort you can in the thought that if
you succeed in doing what you set
out to do, and if most other farmers
also succeed, you will have produc-
ed larger crops than can be sold at
a proﬁt and still be under the har-
row. Nevertheless, the average
farmer is forced by unhappy cir-

’cumstances to adopt exactly that
policy.

It is not good for the farm-
er, not good for his wife and child:
ren, not good for the Nation. ”
Was the Far-inci- to Blame?
Some say that during the depres-

sion of the last-- three years, the

turner found himself exactly where

do better.
wouldmet be satis’ded just to make

ways follow wars, and the farmer
should have known this and set his
house in order; that those farmers
Whose foresight was not as good as
their hindsight must take the con-
sequences—~work hard, keep cheer—
ful and if they survive take comfort
in the thought that the next time
they will know in advance what is
going to happen.

Advice No.5. (lo-operative mar-
keting will solve our problems.

Answer. (lo-operative marketing
is good business practice and should
be encouraged. Thirty—seven cents
is not a just share of the consumers’
dollar to be returned to the person
who takes the chances of the ele—
ments such as rain, Wind, hail,
drought, etc, and we have proved
that by marketing co-operatively a
larger per cent of the price paid by
the consumer for products is return-
ed- to the producer.

We do believe that it is good bus-
iness to eliminate just as much ex-
pense as possible in transferring
produce from the producer to the con—
sumer in the way of freight, handl-
ing, profits, etc. But, in general,
could the co-operators sell our sur-
plus at a proﬁt? Or with an unlim-
ited supply of any or all products,
could they market it so as to re-
turn as a, price which would cover
the cost of production?

Or if the economic relations be-
tween this and other countries
should make it possible for foreign
countries with cheap money, cheap
labor, and cheap transportation to
produce and sell in our markets for
less than the cost of production
here, could the co-operative market—
ing save us? You may say that is-
n’t possible, but the Government re-
ports that our agricultural exports
were less last year than our im—
ports, and how do we know that it
will stop there? We have no assure
ance that the agricultural imports
into this country may not keep on

. increasing.

Is Efﬁciency the Remedy?

Advice No. 6. Better farming,
namely, better seed, better soil, bet-
ter stock and better methods.

Answer. In reply to these sug-
gestions that increased efﬁciency of
production is the real remedy we
would say that these things are all
essential and by all means should
be the aim of every farmer. We ad-
mit freely that it is the adoption of
better business practices that makes
it possible for one individual or
corporation to compete successfully
with others in the same business,
especially if others do not apply
good practices. For instance, if all
auto manufacturers built and sold
as many cars as the Ford Company,
the entire industry would be ruined
in a short time.

The natural incentive of every
farmer is not only to do well, but to
He, like every one else

a living and pay his over-head ex-
pense. So if by better farming, he
could make a small profit, he would
try to expand this business untilhe
could have on hand a comfortable
bank account laid by for a rainy
day. Then again if a great number
of farmers adopted the advice given
and still retained that great natur-
al desire to do better, we might not
only have a surplus but a super-sur-
plus. So again generally speaking,
agriculture as an industry might not
be any better off.

After carefully thinking over and
analyzing the effect that would re-
sult by the application of these
programs, given as advice, especial-
ly if such programs were followed
by any great number of farmers, we
are convinced that the serious con-
dition in which agriculture has
found itself in the last three years
was not brought about by any in-
dividual action of the farmer him-
self, nor can any individual effort on
the part of the farmer correct the
condition.

A Look at the Real Problem

Question No. 1. In an attempt to
analyze our present situation, one
of the ﬁrst questions that we might
well ask ourselves would be, “Is
there anything the matter with agri-
culture? If so, when did it happen,
what were the circumstances at the
time and what remedy should be
applied?” In answer to the ﬁrst
question, I would say that farm
values have decreased $13,000,000,-
000 from Jan. 1, 1920 to March 1,
1922. Also in some of the agricul-
tural states from 42 to 62 per Cent
of the farmers are bankrupt, and
these bankruptcies in agricultural
districts have caused more bank
failures in the year 1922 than in
any other year since the panic of
1893. For further information, ask
any farmer who is trying to meet
his overhead expense and at the
same time keep his farm buildings,
fences and machinery up in order.

Question N0. 2. When did it hap~
pen? In order to establish the time
we, of necessity, have to consider
the relative condition of agriculture
to other industries over a period of
years. After agriculture had recup-
erated from the crisis of 1893 to
1896, caused by an inﬂated currency,
there was an increased circulation
of from $28.00 per capita in 1896
to $35.00 per capita in 1900, so in
the year 1900 agriculture found it-
self in a normal growing and thriv-
ing period which continued on with
a few minor exceptions until 1920 ‘
when something happened. The
bankers of the Federal reserve sys-
tem in order to stop this crazy in-
vesting in not only things contain-
ing real wealth but in questionable
stocks and bonds resorted to a de—
ﬂation of the currency as a means,
by ceasing to loan on what they
termed speculative enterprise. This
move accomplished its original pur-
pose, but it did not stop there. In
doing so it has nearly ruined our
great essential industry—agricul~
ture.

The Farmer’s Little Dollar

In 1920 the purchasing power of
farm products was 86, in 1921, 67,
and 1922 as low as 64. It gradual-
ly began to revive until in October,
1923, it had reached ‘75, but in Nov-
ember it started .downward and
reached 73. Where will it go from
here? During these times the
farmer suffered from every element
of increase in cost of production in-
cluding wages, interest, taxes and-

freight rates. ’
Now I am going to ask any 11011..

that the farmer did or did not do '
that brought about this crisis in agi—

Dress Up Your Home and SurrOundin is

A Few Dollars Invested in Paint and Lumber Plus a Few Hours work Will
Make You Feel, Look and Work Better
By L. FOWLER

HE psychologists tell us that we
are greatly inﬂuenced by our
dress and surroundings, and all

who have had experience along
these lines seem to agree with this
deduction.

Have you ever been feeling as
blue as the best tinted indigo, and
just as you seemed to be sinking
still deeper into the blue clay, you
found that you must skip into town
for repairs to some balky machinery.
Then you decided that the limit had
surely been reached, did you not?

But by the time you had changed
and combed a little of the clay and
grass out of your hair you were feel—
ing fully ten per cent better, and as
you whizzed along the road behind
old Molly or in the wheezing old
"Lizzieﬁ’ you seemed to feel just a
little better every minute.

That was because you were dress-
ed neatly and thinking about some—
thing different. Neighbors crops, or
new buildings were before you in—
stead of the same old yard and dirty
barn.

If old clothes have such an effect
upon you don’t you think that the
old things your buildings wear
might affect your farm and crops.

Did you ever see a farmer who let
his buildings tumble down, and his
fences sprawl across the ﬁeld and
still rejoiced in good luck? If his
tools g0 unpainted and ﬁnd shelter

in odd corners you usually ﬁnd that
his crops are full of weeds and ev-
ery thing seems to be going wrong
for him. His neighbors say “He
never seems to get along.”

Did you ever look at a neat place
such as the “Sunny Lawn Farm”
and not think, “Well, that fellow is
surely getting along ﬁne?”

Mr. Stewart, the owner, will sure-
ly testify to the fact that neat, well-
kept buildings build up the morale
of the people who work around
them. They mean better crops and
better results in every way.

But even the best buildings soon
become an eyesore if their sur—
roundings are not kept in an orderly
condition, while very old buildings
often look well, because they are
kept in good repair with well-kept
yards.

If you cannot at ﬁrst afford such
good buildings, you can clean up the
yards, pile unsightly rubbish out of
sight and make everything clean
and neat.

You can clean up the dooryard
and fence out the stock so the good-
wife can plant some shrubs and
ﬂowers which will do more toward
brightening up the .old place than a
great house with untidy yards.

You can put the hog house out
behind the barn,‘and plant a beauti—
ful hedge of some quick-growing,
wild plant or tree to hide unsightly
buildings. The common thorn-ap—
ple makes a good hedge and is a
“Queen of Shrubs” when it is in
bloom. It’s fragrance'and beauty
is almost unequaled.

A few trees will make a desert-
like place look like home. A coat
of fresh paint will change an old-
house into a new one to the passing
eye. A few field stones, laid, with
cement for the corner posts of the
porch and also for the gate posts,
will make an unbelieveable change.

There are so many things that

edly lazy when we hear some farm-
er saying that he cannot afford to

New England Dairymen To Have Central Milk Marketing Agency

By GEORGE HERBERT

HE most important move in the
New England milk industry in
many months was made at

Bellows Falls, Vt.. on March 13,
when the initial steps were taken to
unite all New England milk coop—
eratives in a single central coopera—
tive sales agency.

The step was taken under the
pressure of the recent “price war”
on the Boston Market, which is still
on, and working heavy damage to
the producers. The Boston market
is the natural price regulator for all
New England, milk prices being set
monthly there by the city dealers
and the New England Milk Produc—
ers’.Association, the famous “NEM—
PA,” which is the most powerful
cooperative east of New York. Each
of the other larger cities has a sim-
ilar bargaining body, which follows
NEMPA’S lead. Milk is sold in two
classes, ﬂuid and surplus, with a
wide margin between the two in
favor of ﬂuid, and the “war” is the
logical result of several factors, all
operating on the perfectly natural
and justiﬁable desire of the more
dis t a n t independent cooperative
creameries, especially in Vermont
where no large city markets'exist,
to get their share of Boston’s high
ﬂuid price.

1 One of these factors is the device
of certain city retailers, selling
,mostly ﬂuid milk, who pass by
‘, MPA with an oﬁer to an inde—

   

pendent creamery to. take all its
in k at one “flat price;" a price
; w'iéh cuts the NEMPA- ﬂuid ﬁgure,
but still boosts the creamery’s prof—

its by cutting out the low priced
surplus. The price cut is operated
also by various other well worn con-

trivances such as rebates, bonuses.
etc.

The immediate cause of the
“war,” however, seems to have

been the aggressive action of the
John T. Connor Co., a Boston chain
store system, to work up a cash and
carry trade in ﬂuid milk. To insure
its supply, the Connor Co. brought
heavily into the Bellows Falls Co—
operative Creamery, and improved
the plant; the more readily that
this concern had vainly tried, as it
claims, to sell through NEMPA in
the Boston market. Entrenched
thus at the country end, the Connor
Co. cut its cash and carry ﬁgure to
4 cents below the regular retailer’s
for residence delivery. These re-
tailers, and NEMPA of whom they
buy, conside1ed so heavy a cut un—
fair; they Could grant 3 cents, but
4 cents threw too big a fraction of -
their milk out of the ﬂuid into the
surplus class. The Connor. Co.'
made it so hot .for the retailers

_- (and for NEMPA also, 'since' much .
‘of their loss on surplus they pass ,
at once to

NEMPA) that NEMPA
felt ﬁnally compelled to get into the '.

to. hold its ﬂuid market. .The Con-

was on.

.It made so great an outcry among .

game by cutting its two rates also, 7

       

on so long with little sign of let up,
that the New England Homestead,
through its editor, Glenn C. Sevey,
issued a call for all hands to get to-
gether in the cause of peace, and
the meeting at Bellows Falls was
the result. It was largely attend-
ed, 200 and more being present, the
call having included all the New
England farmers’ organizations and
representatives who would natural-
ly be interested. The selection of
Bellows Falls, the chief country
center of disturbance, and near
many of the smaller creameries hit
hardest by the “war," gave evidenCe
of fairplay, as did the general con-
duct of the meeting, and a spirit of
harmony pervaded the affair which
was remarkable in the circum-
stance.

A broad picture of the situation

our railroad» had promised one a

caught me, and/ from the looks of
some at them, Lent-pact theyvconld
have carried out their threats.
One day I admired a pretty white
stone my landlady was wearing on
a small chain. She said I ought to
have one—4t was a lucky stem.
When I inquired where she got it.
she produced an old booklet which
described in detail how a famous

   

explorer had found some stones in '
These stones were used by ,

the natives to ward off all evil, and
whenever a person carried one in
their pocket, they had good health
and good fortune.

Altho the booklet had been print-
ed many years ago, it stood up till
I had copied out the wording. I
changed the names a little and de-
cided that this was something every
one wanted. A small print shop
came, to my aid again. More books
were printed, and the marvels of
the East Indian Lucky Stones were
set forth. In order to make these
things sound good, I put a lot of
unusual testimonials at the bottom
of the pages, which I wrote myself.
I told of how many had these stones
set in rings and others had them
made up into watch-charms.

Not only were the stones carriers
of wonderous magic, but they were
really valuable as‘ gems. I further
described them—how they were
gotten and how the importers had
arranged with a Bombay dealer to
furnish a. supply of them.

These stones were sold at the
small price of one dollar each or
three for two dollars. The usual
literature with order blanks was
sent out and a nearby stream furn-
ished a goodly supply of stones. I
never knew how many people be-
lieved in such charms and long aft-
er I had stopped ﬁlling orders, let-
ters would come addressed to me,
asking for the stones. That deal
kept me in spending money one
winter, and I have often thought I
missed a good business opportunity
by not sticking to it regularly. But
I ran out of booklets, and didn't
want to spend time waiting for a re~
print.

Having a-little time and some
money, I decided that a trip to
Europe would be good for me, as I
needed a rest, and my experience
with the law was such that I didn’t
want to take any chances.

The old saying that “birds of a
feather ﬂock together” holds good
as far as I am concerned. I got
back from my European tour pretty
hard up, but on the boat coming
back I met another fellow who was
interested in promotion work. He
had an ofﬁce in New York, and
wanted me to work for him. As I
said before, being broke is no joke,
so I hired out at a fancy price. Har-
rison T. Henry was the fellow's
name I was working for, and we
dealt in stocks. Henry dealt in all
kinds of stocks, but catered to the
smaller trade; that is, we would
get a line on people who had a little
money to invest and who did not
know much about stocks. Not
knowing much, it was easy for us to
sell them most anything.

Frequently we would ﬁnd people
that had a few share of good secur-
"ities that had been left them by a
departed relative. Of course, they
wanted to make a killing, and were
always looking for a chance, and
the Harrison T. Henry Company
was out to give them that chance.

We had a list of people we had
gathered who had such investments,

and my job was to call them
on the phone. The line we used
was as follows:

“Is this Mrs. Smith?" I would

ask when the phone was answered,
and of course it was, and I would
, proceed to tell her who I was and
lay emphasis on the name of the
. ﬁrm.
“I believe you are the owner of
ﬁve hundred shares of Nutty Chips.
' the new breakfast food," I would
say. _
“No, there’s some mistake," re-
". plies Mrs. Smith.
“I beg your pardon,” I would
say. “I was going to give you

. that invariably followed, and all I

Chips" had started to soar in value
and that fortunes would probably
be made in that stock in a week or
so. Naturally, in a short time the
victim would follow this tip and
call at our ofﬁce and,it didn’t take
long to get her to trade in her good
stocks for shares, in the company
that were soaring in value. Fre-
quently, money came in,

woman found out she had been

rested, but I had taken my depart-
ure and gone west. At least my
earnings gave me a start, and I de—
cided to try a better ﬁeld.

While I was working in New
York, I met a fellow who had a
soft game. He didn't get a lot, at
once, but it came easy. I had the
literature, and so I opened an oillce
in St. Paul and turned my attention
to the fortune telling game, or as—
trology. 'I had a lot of literature
printed that looked as if it was
typewritten, and started a lot of
ads in some of the various weekly
papers thruout the country. The
ads read about as follows:

“Can you stand the truth? Let
me tell your fortune free. Some-
where in your past, present or fu-
ture you have had some startling
experiences which- if taken at the
right time might be a fortune to
you. Astrology, the oldest of sci-
ences, will help you in your busi-
ness. Write your name, date of
birth, and enclose ten cents in
stamps for a conﬁdential reply.” ,

It wasn’t long till a lot of people
began to send in the dimes. I there-
fore sent them a chart that looked

Of course Henry was ar-p

very mystical and which had a lot
of the signs of the vodiac on it. On
the back they would ﬁnd a lot of
stuff that would arouse their curi-
osity, and toward the end a chance
to get real stun on their future” was
offered for the price of two dollars.

Needless to say, I got a lot of
money on this scheme. All I had
to do was to keep it going out, and
the way folks bit was good. It was
while I was working this scheme
that a fellow named Reilly, who. I
had known in Californa in the gold
mining stock desk-met me.

He had the lists of all the stock-
holders in the old Cripple Creek.
company, and when I told him what
I was doing. he made this sugges-
tion. (He was to go to Denver and
wait till I had sent out circulars to
his mailing list. I was to be the
astrologer, and was to say some-
thing like this: _

“The stars which control your
destiny show that you have made
investments in the past which so
far have proved unproﬁtable. How-
ever, I ﬁnd that these same stars
have good tidings for you, and if
you will send-a dollar the informa-
tion will be sent.” The people who
answered, and a lot of them did,
were advised that their investments
would start to pay very soon, and
they had better look them up. Of
course a lot of other stun was put
but they saw that investment
stuil.’ ﬁrst.

It was then that Reilly, of the
Cripple Creek company, started to
work. He would send out a pamph-
let telling the stockholders of the
recent success of some of the [old

glad for-he had’played me dirty in
California. ' " . '

I went to North Dakota after that

deal. I wanted to hide and rest up
till things quieted down.

While I was there I noticed the
big business in the potato industry.

It appealed to me and I tried to ﬁgs ,

ure how a fellow could get in on the
business and still make money. Ky
earnings as an astrologer had been
pretty good but I was afraid to
start out again as Reilly‘s arrest
brought home the fact that the
postal department was a dangerous
gang to have on a fellew’s trail.

It wasn't long after I had located

   

 

 

in the small town of Bonner that I '

discovered the farmers were dis-
custed with the manner in which
they sold their crops. After all the
work they turned it over to some
company for sale and took just
what they handed them in payment.
I decided here was a good chance to
get easy money. 80 early in the
following summer I opened the Lib-
erty Produce Company. The Liber-
‘ty was announced as the friend of.
the farmer. I put a little of my
money in the local banks which
gave me a standing with them and
started out among the farmers and
bargained for their crop of pota-
toes. I would cut down the cost of
the middleman in selling them and
they fell for my line in a hurry.

A few trips-to Minneapolis and
Chicago on my part impressed them
a lot and I arranged for selling the
potatoes. When the ﬁrst few cars
Were sold to me I paid a good price
for them at once and made a lot of
moles about how that was the real
price they should receive for the
crop. Of course I sweetened the
checks a bit out of my account but
that sugar drew, the business. I

had so many calls to buy potatoes, ‘ 1

that I couldn’t get around to check
them all as they were loaded. 0r-
dinarily I paid by check when the
car was loaded but due to the busy
season on my part and my many
trips to market, I fell behind in
But these farmers
never worried. ,They were so sure
of my oil'ers that they said it was
all right and I could leave their
checks at the banks and that would
save them trips to town. .
However, I worked it pretty
good. I managed to check out all
but a few dollars of my deposit in
the local banks but they didn’t care .
as ”my returns. should be coming in
shortly 'and the banks ﬁgured I
would leave a nice sum with them
to use during _the winter.
" The Liberty Produce Company
sure had a big business and along
toward the close of the season I had
thirty cars of spnds lined up. I
announced that I was going to take:
them to market personally, and
away we went.’ I did take them
“personally" and. when the con-
m‘ission iirm I was dealing within

TO RECEIVE 2mm SIGNALS
I wish to receive time signals
tram the Arlington Station. Can I

do this by adding loading coils to a

broadcast receiver, or do I have to
get a honeycomb coil?—A. _.B .,

' North Branch, Mich.

———Yes, you can add loading coils in
your present set to get Arlington
time signals. Look up honeycomb

, coils of equal wave length and place

one in the aerial lead and one in the‘
secondary and, one in the tickler cir-
cuit (if your set uses one). I can not
tell the size to advise as I do not
know what your set now consists of.
You must bring up your present
wave length to 2650 meters which is
the wave that Arlington transmits

‘up.on

The tickler coil can be of about 22$
the value of the ones that you place

in the primary and secondary cir-.

cuits.

You can wrap cardboard tubing
with No. 24 Cotton covered wire and
make your owu loading coils, tho
the honeycomb coils are more eﬂic-
ient and take up less room in your
set.

FOUR TUBE REFLEX CIRCUIT

Will you put the diagram of a
three or four tube receiving set that
will receive any place on the face of
the earth, runs from dry cells, and
operates a loud speaker.—-—B. D.,
Ionia, Mich.

--—In a future issue we are going to

publish a diagram of a 4 tube reﬂex
circuit that will come as near ﬁlling
your requirements as is possible. It
is out of the. question to build a set,
no matter what the price that will
reach any place on earth. There is
not any set that can do it, or has
done it. The meat expensive sets,
and complicated will only reach reg-
ularly about 2000 miles, and then
there are days that some nearer sta-
tions cannot be heard. Other times
5000 miles can be covered. The set
that we-are going to describe will
not require an outside aerial and
will work a loud speaker. The parts
alone will cost about $75. 00.

WANTS TO RECEIVE DISTANT
STATIONS

Could you tell me where I can
ﬁnd out how to build a radio re-
ceiving set that will receive from
broadcasting stations 1500 to 2000
miles away and less? Can the one
in your Feb. 2 Busmnss FARMER be
added to so it will do it? Thanks in
advance—E. W., Benton, Mich.

-——The set described in our issue of

'Feb. 2nd, will enable you to hear

from over 1080 miles and at times
from greater distances. A 'set as
described has broughtin music for
me from Springﬁeld, Mass, to Dal-
las, Texas, and Denver.

There is no advantage in trying
to listen to the stations that are so
far away, they come in weak and
the near stations are so much better
and clearer and you can get them
easily. In our future issues we will
in turn describe how to build dif-
ferent types of sets and how to oper-
ate them.

It will be much better to start on
a simple set and learn how to oper-
ate it than to try with the much
more complicated sets and ﬁnd that
you do net get any results, or not
as good results as expected.

 

TO GET LONG LIFE FROM
BAl'I‘ERIES

Don't short circuit your battery
to test it, that will use more current
than over hours listening in will
use.

Don’t forget to turn off the battery
switch as soon as you are thru list-
ening in, or if you leave your set
idle even for a few minutes. The
longer. the rest that dry batteries
get the better the service they give.
It you have no switch, disconnect'
your battery Wires.

Don’t turn the rheostat up as far

' as it will go, but use only as little

cumnt as is necessary to make your

. tube detect the incoming signals. The

less current you use the longer your
supply will last.

Don’t expect one battery to do the
ask or two or titree, always use-

has changed. The day of the

any Saturday afternoon, standing in
the sun in front of a grocery store,
complaining of the hard lot of the
farmer. In a few years he will be
extinct. You will ﬁnd him mingling
with the great mass of factory
. workers.

There are those of the old tarm-
ers who have made a. success of
farming. These people are not
moving to the city. You will see
their nicely painted barns and
houses as you pass by. These farm-
ers are the ﬁrst business farmers.
Their success was due to their abil-
ity to organize their labors on a
paying basis. Then there are the
young graduates from college who
have studied the best business
methods of farming. These will be
the farmers of the future who will
put farming on the basis it belongs.

A county agricultural agent is the
best thing that has happened to the
business farmer. He can be com-
pared to the eﬁiciency eXpert of big
business. He is ‘better
than the average farmer of. today,
and the national and state depart-
ments of agriculture keep in touch
with him. .

If. your farm isn't more than pay-
ing for itself, consult your agent,
his advice is valuable. The busi-
ness farmers appreciate this man
just as big business goes by the ad-
vice of its expert.

Don’t listen to people who tell
you farming doesn’t pay. Make it
pay. Be a business lumen—Doro-

INCREASE DUTY 0N SUGAR

EAR EDITOR: The United
States Tariff Commission has
just completed an exhaustive

investigation of~the cost of. produc—
ing sugar in continental ‘United
States, in our insular possessions and
in Cuba. The preliminary report of
the CommiSsion, recent y issued,
leaves no doubt about the duty on
sugar being an agricultural and not
an industrial tariff.

This report shows that in 1922

Cuban farmers received an average

of $1.16 for each 100 lbs. of extract-

able sugar in their cane, whereas

American farmers received an aver-

age ct $3.37 for each 100 lbs. of ex-

tractable sugar from their beets.

In other words American tarmers re~

ceived asmueh- (or 100 pounds as

Cuban tumors received, for 890

.poundaof sugar. In addition to re-

ceiving as much (or 100 lbs. of lunar

in the world and to expect to main-

American farmers grow beets for
proﬁt, not from patriotic motives
and unless they can make a proﬁt on
beets they will devote their ﬁelds to
the production of other crops, such
as wheat, oats, barley, beans, etc,
where as the Cuban farmer, produc-
ing nothing but cane would go hun-
gry if he did not accept the price
offered by the mill owner. ‘ ’

A slight lowering. of the duty on
sugar would close American beet
sugar factories and thus deprive
100,000 American farmers of a mar-
ket for $63,000,000 worth of boots
annually, while a slight increase in
the duty soon would mean the
erection of enough new factories to
supply us with all the sugar we con-
sums and of the $380,000,000 we
thus would keep at home, over 8200,:

HUNTING wrrn manure

EAR EDITORz—Some years ago
D it was lawful to hunt with ter-

rats, but the sportsmen of the
city have been successful enough to
have the law passed that it is un-
lawful to hunt With ferrets and new
rabbits are becoming such nuisance
that it, is impossible to grow an ap-
ple tree longer than 4 years, and
that for the beneﬁt of the sports-
men. You hear so much now days
about raise more, but let me tell
you it is very discouraging to plant
trees and then have rabbits come
and kill them.- If you ask for a per-
mit to hunt with a ferret, you will
got none, but they will tell you to
fence the rabbits out. Just think of.
fencing rabbits out with snow banks
10 feet deep. Some job, I would
say.

Can this law be recalled, or at ‘

least' adjusted so the farmer boys
can hunt these pests, say from Nov-
ember 15th until the season. closes
in February? Then there wouldn‘t
be so many, at least, to do damage,
or must it come to the compulsory
violation of the law to protect your
own property? But at present it
seems the state has the right to die-
tate to the individual owner what
he can, or what he cannot do to pro-
tect his own property. .

I am not the only one that feels this
way, but I think at least 99 per cent
of the people in the country feel the
same way about'it. Someone might
say, shoot them. I would like to
ask who is the person after he
works all day, likes to stand guard

,in the cold at night to protect his
orchercbfrorn

these posts. I would
liketosee thosesnortmenbethose

guards. or be compelled to pay the

demazo the rabbits do. I think
they would soon soy. “Hunt with
ferrets.” ,

ing season open November 1,“): end

EQUALLY WITH
CHILDREN

We, being subscribers to your ral-
ub‘lo paper would like to ask you
' a few questions which have been on
my mind for some time. A man

  
    
  
   
 

vowed, and marrying again, with
than children by his present wife.
what share of property would the
ﬁrst boy get, it any? Also the other
three and wife at the father’s
death? And would the property,
farm and personal, have to be sold
in order to pay the ﬁrst boy his
sham! He is not now, nor has, ex-
‘ coating during school vacations, liv-
ed with his father. He is nearly ‘16.

And what share of all property is a -

wife entitled to 11 a. division is made
while both are living? This proper-
ty having-a legacy of $500.00 paid
with the ﬁrst ,payment from the
father's tather.——-Mrs. M. A. H.,
Otisville, Mich.
—The boy by the former wife would
share equally with the other three
children. Two thirds of his prop-
erty would be divided equally
among the {our children and the
widow would receive the other one
' third. Their share of the iarm
could be divided equally among the
recur. orit could be sold and the
proceeds the so divided. according to
the wish of the majority. There is
no provision for the division of
property by a husband and wife
who amatlll living together. Such
. a division would depend upon
‘ ‘ agreement of the amount of pmper-
ty each owned separately. In no
case can the wife he deprived of her
right of dower.-——Asst. Legal Editor.

——It the matter of drainage is nec-

of the highway, the matter -is within
the discretion of the Highway Com-
missioner and the Township Board;
but it the drainage is only desired
for the beneﬁt of the adjoining

taken up with the County Drain
Commissioner, with a view to estab-

" ' VERYTHING’S the matter,” snap-

ped Jane. “And positively a. more
. ungrateful set of people all around
I never saw. To begin with, take the
church. You know I’ve 'never been
able to do anything. We couldn’t afford
it. And now I was so happy that I
could do something, and I told them so;
and they seemed real pleased at ﬁrst. I
gave two dollars apiece to the Ladies’ Aid,
the Home Missionary Society, and the
[Foreign Missionary Society—and, do you
know, they hardly even thanked me!
They acted for all the world as if they
expected more—the grasping things!
And, listen! On the way home, just as
I passed the Gale girls, I heard Sue say:
‘VVhat’s two dollars to her? She’ll never
miss it.’ They meant me, of course. So
you see it wasn’t appreciated. Now,
was it?"

“Perhaps not.”

“What’s the good of giving, it you
aren’t going to get any credit, or thanks,
just because you’re rich, I should like to
know? And they aren’t the only ones.
Nothing has been appreciated,” went on
Mrs. Jane discontentedly. “Look at
Cousin Mary Davis—you know how poor
they’ve always been, and how hard it’s
been for them to get along. Her Carrie—
Mellicent’s age, you know—has had to
go to work in Hooper’s store. Well I
sent Mellicen't’s old white lace party dress
to Mary. ‘Twas some soiled, of course,
and a little torn; but I thought she could
clean it and make it over beautifully for
Carrie. But, what do you thinkih—iback
it came the next day with a note from
Mary saying very crisply that Carrie had
no place to wear white lace dresses, and
they had no time to make it over if she
did. No place to wear it, indeed! Didn't
I invite her to my housewarming? And
didn’t Hattie, too? But how are you
going to help a person like that?”

“But, Jane, there must be ways—some
ways.” Miss Maggie's . forehead was
wrinkled into a troubled frown. “They
need help, I know. Mr. Davis has been
sick a long time, you remember.”

“Yes, I know he has; and that’s all
the more reason, to my way of thinking,
why [they should be grateful for anything
—-—anything! The trouble is, she wants
to be helped in ways of her own choosing.
They wanted Frank to take Sam, the boy,

But I couldn’t do either. Frank hates
relatives in the store; he says they cause
all sorts of trouble with the other help;
and I certainly wasn’t going to ask him
to take any relatives of mine. As for
Nellie—I did ask Hattie if she could'nt
give her some napkins to do, or some-
thing, and she gave me a dozen for her
——she said Nellie’d probably do them as
cheap as anybody, and maybe cheaper.
But she (told me not to go to the Gay—
lords or the Pennocks, or any of that
crowd, for she wouldn't have them know
for the world that we had a relative
right here in town that had to take in
sewing. I told her they weren’t her re-
lations nor the Blaisdells'; they were
mine, and they were just as good as her
folks any day, and that it was no dis-
grace to be poor. But. dear me! You
know Hattie. What could I do? Be-
sides, she got mad then, and took back

I didn’t have anything for poor Nellie.

her, they wouldn’t have appreciated it.
I know. They never appreciate anything.
Why, last November, when the money
came. I sent nearly all of Mellicent’s and
my summer things—rand if little Tottie
didn’t go and say afterwards that her
mamma did wish Cousin Jane wouldn’t
send muslins in December when they
hadn’t room enough to store a. safety pin.
on, of course, Mary didn’t, say that ‘to

,me, but she must have said it somewhere.

else Tottie wouldn’t have got hold of it.
‘Children «and fools,’ you know,” she ﬁn-
ished meaningly, as she rose to go.

Mr. Smith noticed that Miss Maggie
seemed troubled that evening, and that
she started off early the next morning
and was gone nearly all day, coming
only for a. hurried luncheon. It being
Saturday, the Martin girls were both
there to care for Father Duff. and‘the
house. Not until some days later did
Mr. Smith suspect that he had learned
the reason for all this.- Then a thin-faced
young girl with tired eyes came to tea
one evening and was introduced-to him
as Miss Carrie Davis. Later, when Miss
Maggie had gone upstairs to put Father
Duff to bed, Mr. Smith heard Carrie
Davis telling Annabelle Martin all about
how kind Miss Maggie had been to Nellie,
ﬁnding her all that embroidery to do for
that rich Mrs. Gaylord, and how Wonder—
ful it was that she had been able to get
such a splendid job for Sam right In
Hooper’s store where she was.

Mr. Smith thought he understood then
Miss Maggie’s long absence on Saturday.

Mr. Smith was often running across
several cases that she had not helped.
Then he did not know exactly what to
think.

His ﬁrst experience of this kind was
when he met an unmistakably "down-and-
out” on the street one day begging cloth-
ing, food, anything. and telling a. sorry
tale of his unjust discharge from a. local
factory. Mr. Smith gave the man a dol-
lar, and sent him to Miss Maggie. He
happened to know that Father Duff had
discarded an old suit that morning—and
Father Duff and the beggar might have
been taken for twins as to size. On the
way home a little later he met the beggar
returning, just as forlorn, and even more
hungry-looking. .

“Well, my good fellow, couldn’t she ﬁx
you up?” questioned Mr. Smith in some
surprise.

“Fix me up !” glowered the man dis-
dainfully. “Not
didn’t fix me up ter nothin'—-—but chin
music !”

And Mr. Smith had thought Miss Mag-
gie was so charitable!

A few days later he heard an eager-
eyed young woman begging Miss Maggie
for a. contribution to the Pension Fund
in Behalf of the underpaid shop girl’s in
Daly’s. Daly's was a Hillerton depart-
ment store, notorious for its unfair treat-
ment'of its employees.

Miss Maggie seemed interested, and
asked many questions. The eager-eyed
young woman became even more eager-
eyed, and told Miss Maggie all about
the long hours, the nerve-wearing labor.

; their age.

TEXTS: “And when‘even was
come, he was there alone.”
Matt. 14:23b. He “withdrew
again into the mountain him-
self alone.” Jno. 6:15.

EVER has there been a man, in

all ages of the past, who wand- .

ered over this earth and was so
much alone as was the man Jesus.
What, you ask, did Jesus, one who
was so great and good, so kind and
loving, so pleasant, so Winsome, and
so self-sacriﬁcing, not have friends
without number? rYes, Jesus had
friends, but his friends and assoc-
iates, his comrades and helpers,
were so far beneath him, that, after
all, he was alone. Then too, those
who lived nearest him, those who
had the best opportunity to know
him and endear themselves to him,
absolutely rejected him.

When the babe Jesus was born,
no friendly door was opened to re—
ceive him. People from all over
the country ,were pouring into the
town of Bethlehem. They were
hurrying back and forth attending
to business. Amidst this hustle and
bustle, in "a lonely corner of a stable
the child Jesus was born in sorrow,
poverty, and humility.

“Jesus came into a dead world.
He, the one living man, alive in
body, soul and spirit, alive to God
in the world.” “The world into
which he entered, by his human
birth, was veritably dying, dead in-
deed unto God. We realize very im—
perfectly the distress, the conﬂict
of‘disgust and pity which the fact of
being in such a world as this, and
belonging to it, caused in the na-
ture of Jesus Christ, in a soul that
was in perfect sympathy with God.
Never was there loneliness such as
his.”

Jesus was a Jew. He was a pro-
duct of his age and nation; and yet
he was so far above his own people
that we can scarcely think of him
as a Jew. Jesus had no one who
could sympathize with him in his
life and thought. He stood head

i and shoulders above those around
"him. They could come to him for

but where
To God
and to Him alone was he driven for
strength in his trying hour.

True, we can ﬁnd no one who is
more Willing to carry our burdens;
but how many of us. go to God ﬁrst
when trouble and trials come? We
are all human, we all have our con—
ﬁdental friends, those who are our

advice and sympathy,

equals or superiors, and it is . to
them that we ﬂee. Many an ach1ng
brow and weary soul has been

soothed by the gentle hand and

. sympathizing word of a true Christ-
« ian friend.

Still closer than any of
our friends is another to whom we
always go ﬁrst. vThat, you say, is
mother.

Was Jesus able to receive counsel
and sympathy from his mother aft—
er he grew to manhood? As we
search our Bible we ﬁnd at different
places the statement, “And Mary
kept these things and pondered
them in her heart.” Mary certainly
did not understand the greatness of

’7 A SERMON BY» MRS:,DAVI'ﬁvr;gvVAaNER. “ " i

after preaching at a place, he was

driven out and left at the mercy of
strangers, or was obliged to depart
secretly because his life was in
danger. In, all these struggles he

.. was obliged to ﬁght alone. . No one
understood, as did he, the condi—
tions in which he was placed. We
sometimes want to question the idea
that Jesus longed for companion-
ship. But we should remember the
fact that Jesus did lament his con-
dition when he said, “The foxes
have holes, the birds of the air have
nests; but the Son of man hath not
where to lay His head.”

Can anything be more sad to the
human mind than the fact that
some child has been cast out of its
home and is obliged to wander
from place to place, with no one to
love it and no one to give it a home.

Jesus' mother did not forsake 'him,

but his own brethren did. His
apostles, even, had such a faint
conception of who Jesus was, and
what he was trying to do, that they
did not know at times whether they

wanted to follow him or not. Jesus
lived With- them, travelled with
them, and taught them. He tried

to explain to them his mission, but
it seemed they could not under—
stand. Time and again they left
him alone when difﬁculties stared
him in the face.

During the last week of Jesus'
life the very best of his nature was
brought out. He held up boldly the
sorrowing disciples, but was in the
depths himself. Do you know what
it is to comfort hearts while your
own is breaking? This was true
with Jesus many‘times, but now,
that we come down to the last week,
the last evening of his life, we can
not help but feel that the heart of
this humble Nazerene was breaking.
On that evening of the great crisis
Jesus and his disciples walked
quietly along the Jerusalem streets,
out of the gate leading towards the
brook Kedron. Then they went ov-
er the brook towards the enclosed
spot in the garden. The night was
dark. It continued to grow darker
and darker. He left the,disciples
alone and went farther into the
garden, to his favorite praying
place. He longed for fellowship,
for a warm hand«touch, but none
could help. If they followed they
Would hinder. How black the night!
The weight of sinful humanity was
upon him. Death stared him in ,the
face. But alone! No human heart
in all the worl'd_could help him.
Jesus hardly thought the cup would
be so bitter. He was tempted to
shrink from it. It seemed as if the
moon and stars, even, shrank from
looking upon this scene of agony.
To the “Only One” that was left,
Jesus lifted his heart in prayer, and

“he prayed until the sweat like
drops of blood stood upon his
brow.”

Could it be possible that Christ is
lonely today? Do we, at times,
wander so far from him that he
is in agonizing intercession for us
today as during the night in the
garden. He has been admitted to
some doors but we take no time to
visit with him, we have no time for
communion with the one whom we
have invited into our houses. I
fear that Christ gets very lonely and
longs for fellowship.

Jesus wants us to come to him
all alone and tell him all. He is
ever ready to give us the very best
that he has. May we then, invite
Jesus in and take him into our con-
ﬁdence, make him a personal'friend,
and spend much time in his pres-
ence, that it may not be said of us
that we pierced those tender hands,
broke that loving hen!i and ﬁnally
hung upon the cross "I e one who
truly loved us.

The more zinc on the wire, the longer the wire fence will last,

Wires used in Zinc Insulated Fences receive
more than DOUBLE the usual heat treatment
in the zinc bath—the proper and only way to
give a heavier coating of galvanizing with
lasting quality.

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
   
  
 
 
 
   
  
  
   
   

This better process not only applies more
zinc to the wire, but makes the coating uniform
and inseparably a part of the steel. It insulates
the wire with more zinc and with no cracking,
ﬂaking or peeling off.

" The Farm Paper of Service "

STRAIGHT TALK

0W often after you have read an article do

you sit back and wish that the author might

have stated clearly and directly what he
was trying to get at.

This has probably been particularly true dur-
ing the past year or so when so much advice has
been passed out gratuitously to the farmer, and
the thought from Mr. Bennett, who expresses
himself fully on page 3 of this issue, will, we
believe, ring true with a great many farmers in
Michigan who have many times had the same
thoughts that he has put on paper in this article.

We have contended right along from this page
that the farmer was getting too much advice and
not enough real help, that there were too many
politicians in the ﬁeld who were living 01! the
farmer, and that matters would have to adjust
themselves in the natural course of events rath—
er than by any radical move which could be
made to relieve the present situation;

This may not sound as you would like to have
it sound, but it is at least the plain, unvarnish-
ed truth as we see it. There is plenty of room
on the farms for every good farmer and his son
in the United States, and with the aid of ma-
chinery they can supply the food products of
this country in competition with the cheaper
labor from any. part of the world. They can
live and with their families enjoy life, surround-
ed by the same comforts which men in the Amer-

, ican cities enjoy and with luxuries which the

farmers of no other country in the world enjoy.

There is no question but what the advent of
modern machinery has lessened the number of
men needed to work the farms of America, and

‘ with the ourtailment of foreign export the pres-
, ent adjustment had to come, yet we ﬁrmly be-

lieve the conditions which forced the present
situation are rapidly passing and those farmers

_ who have held to their trade are going to be the
1 winners in the end. _

MICHIGAN THIRD IN SUGAR BEETS

« FINAL reports of the 1923 United States sugar

crop, received late in March by the United
States Department of Agriculture from the
sugar beet factories, show that 7,006,000 short

,‘ tons of beets were harvested and that 6,565,000

tons were sliced for sugar. This is the third

; largest crop on record, being exceeded ‘only by

; the unusually large crops of 8,538,000 tons in

"'258,800,000 to growers,

1920 and 7,782,000 tons in 1921. More beets
were produced per acre in 1923 than in any other

‘ year since 1915, the yield per acre being 10.66
‘ tons in 1913, compared with 9.77 tons in 1922

and 9.55 tons in 1921. The 657,000 acres har-
vested in 1923 were less than the acreage har-

. vested in ﬁve of the preceding ten years, but
. larger than the average of 655,000 acres for that
. 10-year period.

The 1923 sugar beet crop was worth at least
the department says.
Some factories reported that additional payments
under the contracts may be made to the growers

: later, if warranted by sales of the sugar made.

In the 1922-1923 campaign these late payments
amounted approximately to 9 per cent of the
total amount Bushy paid.

mom FOREIGN MARKETS

BILL introduced by Representative Ketcham

of Michigan, authorizing innovations in. the

department of agriculture designed to in—
crease the market for American farm products
has passed the house and is now ready for the
senate, where it is assured of a favorable hear-
ing. The bill would direct the secretary of that
department to gather and disseminate more in-
formation that would be of value to the farmer
in planting and selling his crops.

The outstanding feature Of the bill is the
authorization of agricultural attaches to the legs.-
tions and embassies of the United States in for-
eign lands, charged with theeduty of collecting
this information. These aﬁcials would have the
same standing as other diplomatic agents, and
Secretary of State Hughes has already indorsed
the proposition.

The bill was indorsed also by Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wallace and practically all the farm or-
ganizations.

The bill would promote American agriculture
by making more markets available and expand~
ing the service now rendered by the department
in gathering information regarding agriculture
in foreign ﬁelds. The additional information
would include all data pertaining to the agricul-
tural production, competition and demand for
American farm products that would'assist in pro-
moting the sale of such products abroad. The
secretary of agriculture would thus be able to
get information for the American farmer that
would better enable him to adjust his operations
to world conditions.

PAINTING UP
N investment in fresh paint for the farm
buildings is not altogether a matter of per-
sonal pride or a desire to show on to the
neighbors.

“Save the surface and you save all” is the
slogan chosen in the present paint campaign in
the country and yet that is literally a fact, for
well painted wood is protected from the weather
and may last indeﬁnitely.

The very sight of clean, well painted buildings
helps build up a community, keeps the farm
family in better spirit, encourages the boys and
girls to stay on the farm, and, incidentally,
makes it a lot easier to borrow “money at the
banks when it is necessary.

We remember an old farmer friend of ours
who would himself have made a good promoter
because in an emergency once he was practically
“busted” from an unfortunate investment and
needed the help of his‘local banker. The banker
told him he must come out to look over his farm
before making any additional loan so-he and
the boys in the next two days, working into the
evenings, painted up all the farm buildings, so
that When Mr. Banker came out there was little
question in his mind as to whether or not this
farmer was a success in his calling.

It is true that the paint job has been neglected
on a. good many thousand farms in Michigan
during recent years and this ought to be a good
season to look over the buildings and plan to do
the necessary work.

Good paint is considerably cheaper than it was
two years ago and rightly applied we consider
it one of the best investments any farmer can
make. .

We have discovered this too, that where one
farmer. in a community starts to p t up his
buildings, the neighbors follow like p and in
a few weeks the whole locality looks and feels
prosperous and contented. Why not utilize the
time in between planting and cultivating for this
job? You do not need to hire professional
painters if you and the boys are handy with the
brush and not afraid to look at the ground from
the top of a ladder.

The dairy producers of Denmark are not to
be blamed for the present situation. Commod—
itles naturally ﬁnd their way to the best marksm.

The only .way the the dairy interests of America.

can protect themselves is a higher duty on im-
ported butter. The present rate is 8 cents per
pound and it is proposed that an exam-gem
measure be passed at once, raising the duty to
15 cents per pound, which would at least raise
the price that much to the American consumer
whether the American producer got- the beneﬁt
of it or not! (Depending on whether you be‘
lieve in the beneficial results of a protective tariff
or not.)

It is our opinion that the present. situation is
short lived. This represents only a temporary
set-back to the dairy market which will soon re-
cover. In the mechanic there ought to be some
way to stem the tide of dairy imports which are
competing with our own products.

THE BABY CHICK INDUSTRY

ECOND only to the automobile industry, at
least in its record of phenomenal growth, is
that of the baby chick industry in Michigan.

No state has a better reputation or is produc-
ing more baby chicks for shipment outside of its.
own territory than is the State of Michigan. This
spring the hatcheries have been working day and
night, literally turning out millions of baby
chicks, which are placed in parcel-post boxes
tagged for all parts of the United States. Ship-
ments are ,mode as far as Texas, Florida, eastern
coast points, and” far west as the Rockies, and
amateur and professional poultry raisers alike
are depending on these mammoth hateherieo for
their chicks.

The incubator and old mother hen herself are
having a hard battle in the face of this modern
and efﬁcient motherless system.

We are glad to say that a strong baby'ohick’
organisation in the western part of Michigan has
made it possible for the legitimate and honest

butchers to help clean out the fakirs who always '

get into a new business of this kind, which prom-
ises extraordinary returns. One . of their
schemes was to advertise baby chicks which they
did not hatch; then go out and make arrange-
ments with individual operators of large hatch-
eries to make their shipments for them. Of
course, this placed responsibility nowhere and
the customer was very often dissatisﬁed because
the shipment was poorly selected or not made on
time. ThiS/practice, has been largely cleaned
out, due to the efforts of the baby-chick associa-

tions and the good farm papers which have re- , , W

fused to carry advertising of this type.

THE BUSINESS FABMER has, from the beginning,
done everything in its power to encourage the
baby chick industry in Michigan because we be;
lieved in it, and we are-just as anxious to con-

OUT OF THE FBYING PAN!

Dear Mr. Slocum—J own quite a
large block of stock in. the Detroit
Packing Company and agents keep
coming to me asking me to ex-
change it for one thing or another.
Right now there is an agent in this
vicinity asking Detroit Packing
stock-holders to exchange their
stock for stock in a mining company

. in Montana that seems to have ex-

cellent prospects. He is altering
$12 a share in exchange which
seems pretty low, don’t you think
so‘I—Mecosta Co. ‘

have exprmed our opinion

W of the Detroit Packing C‘om-
- pony many times in this de-
partment. We believe. the build-
ing or this modern packing plant
will be of. great, permanent value to
the live-stock industry in this state.
The fourth city in America should
certainly be able to support a gi—

gantic packing plant many times‘

the size of the present one.

The same men who organized the
packing company are still at. the
helm, which proves that they believe
in its future. It has not been an
easy task to steer the course, nor is
it ever for a new compan tackling
a great undertaking wiLic ‘ must be
perfected in the multitudinous de-
partments employed.

Naturally the old line packers,
particularly in Detroit, do not relish
the coming of this competitor and
inasmuch as the stock is so largely
held by farmers in Michigan, it is
not hard to weaken its position
among its stock-holders by inference,
gossip and propaganda oi a sinister
sort. ,

We would not attempt to decide
for any man whether he should hold

orsell at a sacriﬁce the stock for

’ ost

pany. Our» Opinion of this company,
its ﬁeld and the men behind it‘are
entirely personal and therefore not
by any manna- of means, We.

‘ AT Government oﬂeers say is ,

one oi'the-greatest mail .fraud
cases in the history of Detroit was

revealed April 12th. when 8 equal of :
United States marshals, headed by -

Francis E. Shea, Postoﬂce inspector
from Washington, raided the oﬂices
of the Detroit Show Card School, at
405 Gratiot Avenue.

According to Shea, who has been
in Detroit for a month investigating
the case, the “schoo ” operated on
a wholesale basis, collecting $50
each from several hundred victims.

and without making any ei‘lort to .

fulﬁll its many promises.

Advertisements, he said.
placed. in publications,
follows:

Anyone can make $15 to $50

gy our new lettergraph method.

0 canvassing, experience un-

necessary. We show you how,

you live. Write for illustrated
booklet.

Also that ﬁctitious letters of rec-
ommendation appear in the booklet,
and that reproduced checks, pur-
ported to have been paid to satisfied
correspondents, also were ﬁctitious.

Shea, in investigating the case,
wrote to the school, and asked for a
list of customers and also a list of
students and graduates. The lists,
excepting the graduates, were re—
ceived by him, and he immediately
got in touch with the companies
listed as having had work done by
the Detroit‘Show Card School.

Many of the names on this list

were

. are thought to be fictitious, he said,

and many companies answered that
they knew nothing of the “school.”
Approximately one per cent, Shea
said, of, the companies referred to
admitted any connection and in
these cases, they replied they never
placed orders with the “school” for
more than $5 or $10.

The list of students was also
found to be irregular, including em-
ployees oi the company had ﬁcti-
tious names, Shea said.

The school’s guaranty, signed by
Miss Master, promised to supply the
necessary outﬁt free to enable com-
municants to start to work at once;
to furnish steady work when appli—
cants became proﬁcient; to advance
students, ,with proper application
and practice, far enough in 10
weeks to enable them to start to
work for themselves, and to turn-
ish engraved diplomas to graduates.
None of these guarantees were ful-

ﬁlled, Shea said.

The defendants are also charged
with maintaining an ofﬁce at the
same address and advertising under
the name of “The United States
Health and Strength Institute,” and
representing that by means of their
method they could cure nearly all
kinds of illness. The fee in the in-
stitute was $28.

Another charge is that the same
group of defendants used the mails
to promote the “United Detective
Training Institute,” which had the
same group oi instructors as the
“Health Institute” and the “Show
Card School.” The tuition in the
detective school was, $20, recently

~reduced from $120.

The oﬁices a? (05 Gratiot avenue,
scene of the raid, showed about 30

’girls‘ industrionsl’y answering mail.

These girls, according to Shea, an-
swered communications with print-
94 81198 of. paper. The “school”

has been in. operation more than -

SHORT CU TS TO SPRING
CLEANING

(Prize Winning Letter)

1 S I enjoy reading letters from
people telling how they do
their work thus getting new

ideas and suggestions, I hope some-

one may ﬁnd a helpful hint in mine.

In regard to short cuts in spring
cleaning, I think the shortest cut of
all is to have as many odd jobs as
possible done beforehand. For in-
stance: the window drapes, cushion
covers, table runners, etc, may be

. laundered now, and if new ones are

needed have them made. I like to
add a few such articles to each
weekly washing rather than to do
them all in one. Last week we had
extra: three pairs of lace curtains,
and the draping from the baby’s bed
and screen. , '

To avoid bareness which there-
moval ‘of such things may cause,
hang up some plain draw curtains

' at the living room windows and ar-

range upon the library table, buffet
and dresser, some of those pretty
paper doilies you buy at the ten
cent store.

' Some nice bright day let us go to
the store room and empty all the
trunks, bags, and boxes,—air,
brush, and pack all winter clothing
that we do not need any longer, sort
out all cast-off clothing and cut into
desirable sizes, and‘have handy for
cleaning purposes. Also those old

stockings should be put into a cov- ’

ered can with a few drops of oil, so
that they will be saturated and
'ready to use to dust with. Look
over the summer clothing that has
been packed away and some even-

ing supply the missing buttons,
draw strings, etc.
There is that “catch all” under

the sink that might be renovated
most any time, and the medicine
chest, the sewing machine, ' and
kitchen cabinet,—so many drawers
.and so many corners to clean out.
If I clean the bookcase before long,
I may have time to look up that half
forgotten poem and show sonny the
wonderful pictures in the big book.

Ammonia in hot water applied.by
clean clothes in the mop stick will
clean and brighten that velvet rug
amazingly.

When at last the warm day
comes when doors and windows can
be opened prepare a boiled dinner,
as a time saver, or a baked one. Try
Cooking potatoes and parsnips right
in With that beef roast, and don’t
you like slices of ham baked in the
scalloped potatoes? My husband
discovered steel wool to be the best
agent to make a “short cut” on that

dish the potatoes were scalloped in,

1—38 it is for all aluminum ware
and the zinc table top.

A FEW IIINTS ON CLEANING

DON’T know of any short cuts to
housecleaning, but am trying
not to have it all come at once.
I wipe down the walls of the down-
stairs rooms, wash all the wood-
work, clean the built-in dish cup-
board, and all the dishes, pictures
on wall, and last the congoleum rug
in dining room is cleaned and pol-
ished. When weather is warm
enough to permit, I can air bedding,
rugs, and clothing, clean the up-
stairs rooms in a few days work.
Whitening on a damp cloth rub-
bed over the windows and mirrors,
and allowed to dry before wiping
Oh will clean and polish the glass so
much nicer and more clear, than
kerosene, which always leaves an
oily or shiny look. It also cleans
white paint easily and without
damage to the paint. A rather stiff
dough mixed from water and bread
ﬂour will clean wall paper very

nicely. When dough gets soile’d,
mix it over and use again. Rub it
gently on paper in downward
.strokes.

A large paint brush is the nicest
thing to use in dusting the wood-
work, also in cleaning it, as it will
clean the crevices and carvings
which are so hard to get at with 'a
cloth or a ﬂoor brush. If you have
2 brushes you can oil one and use as
a dustless duster. Make a bag to
ﬁt over the broom of old cotton
socks. You will need 1 pair. Then

sew 2 pairs on the bottom of the‘

bag. It makes a good dust-away
mop, easily cleaned. Use it on
walls, on ﬂoors, windows, etc.—
“Molly B.”

 

SPRING CLEANING MADE
EASIER

. AM a farmer’s wife, having lived
I on a farm for eighteen years,

and these helps are for the farm ,

sisters.

The ﬁrst thing I do toward clean-
ing is to get my oil stove in good
working order, as it has been idle
through the winter, having the
range in use. If that is done, so
many times the supper or the rest
of the meals can be prepared in
quick order.

Next I clean all drawers in every
room, put clean papers, and con-

‘ necessary.

A__

tents back in good order.
saves time and patience. The clothes
press comes next. Air all the
clothes, and clean. To keep the
woolens and things from the moths,
and dust, make a large bag of news-
papers, glue the top, and the moths
will not bother where there is
printers’ ink.

The ﬁrst room I clean is my
kitchen, so as to get that done be—
fore it gets too warm. It seems as
though there neveh was a room so
hard to clean when it is hot, as a.
kitchen. »

Next I clean all rooms upstairs,
then the living, room, dining room,
and the cellar is my last. If it is
hot, I have a good cool place to-
work. Of course all vegetables that
have decayed are removed right
away, so that there is nothing in
the cellar to smell.—Mrs. A. H. S.,
Tipton, Mich.

 

VALUABLE HINTS FOR THE
HOUSEWIFE
10 clean rusty knives, drop them
into thick sour milk and let re—
main overnight.‘ In the morn-
ing they can be cleaned very easily.

The secret of removing a grease
spot from silk, without any ring or
shadow remaining, is to rub French
chalk on' the wrong side of the
goods. Put away for a few hours,
then brush off the chalk and apply
it again on the back of the spot if-
The powder absorbs
the grease and leaves the surface
of the fabric as good as new.

When you wish to mend a slight-
ly worn table—cloth, use an embroid-
ery hoop. In this way it can be
nicely darned by using threads
drawn from the linen itself.

To mend hot-water bottles, clean
the torn place with gasoline. Place
a piece of
the hole with glue on it. Then put
a hot iron on the rubber and let re-
main overnight. This will make
your bottle like new.

Never pick up tiny pieces of glass
with the ﬁngers. Wet a woolen
cloth and pat it over the glass par-
ticles which will then cling to the
cloth. Burn the cloth.

When making lemon pies, let
the ﬁlling get cool before putting in
the pastry shell and you will ﬁnd
that it will not run as it does when
it is put in hot. ,

Never leave a metal spoon in any-
thing you wish to heat quickly as
the heat runs up the spoon, thus re-
quiring a longer time to heat the~
food.

To remove fresh shellac from a\
brush, rub a small quantity of bor-
ax well into the bristles. Then wash
in soap and water. The same
treatment will remove shellac from
the hands.

 

 

PLANT A TREE ARBOR DAY, MAY SECOND

OVERNOR GROESBEOK has issued a proclamation designating
Friday, May 2nd, as “Arbor and Bird Day” throughout the state

Michigan before the spring is over.

He says: “If every schdol

.M'USIO WEEK INVADES mm.
COMMUNITIES

OR the ﬁrst time, we are to have
this year a national music
week. It will be observed

throughout the country from May 2
to 10. Rural districts, especially
rural schools, are-expected by the
promoters of the plan to form one
of the strongest links in the chain
of music week. National farm or-
ganizations, such as the American
Country Life Association, the Amer-
ican Farm Bureau Federation, and
the Granges, are cooperating and
helping to stimulate rural participa-
tion. The committee in charge is
distributing a guide for the organi-
zation of local music week which
contains special suggestions for the
participation of rural schoOls and
rural communities. It may be ob-

.tained without charge from C. M.

Tremaine, Secretary, National Music
Week Committee, 105 West 40th
Street, New York City. Community
song books with music or word leaf-
lets may be had also from the Com-
mittee.

They are suggesting a music hour
in every home, community songs in
schoolhouse, church, or a. farm
home, which may be the center of
communal life and in which a piano,
organ, or other musical instrument
is available. In some cases families
that have a radio receiving set may
invite their neighbors to join in
listening to the special music week
programs which will be provided
over the radio.

Since music week comes so near
the end of the school term in many
rural communities the preparation
of special programs may proceed in
connection with the preparation for
the regular closing exercises and
provide a natural climax for the
year’s musical work. Indeed it is
hoped by the committee that music
week in 1924 will be but the be-
ginning of the observance of a re-
curring anniversary which will be
celebrated as naturally as Thanks-
giving, Christmas, and other holi-
days. Music week should be more-
ly an intensifying during one week
of the habitual use of rmusic
throughout the year. In the schoOI,
as well as in the home, every day
should be music day.

Earning Money at Homo.—--I see many
inquiries as to how a woman can earn
money at home, and wonder if my ex-
perience would help someone. When we
moved in the country four years ago, I
got a loom intending to weave for my-
self and family only, but after a few
months on the farm decided we could use
any extra money it was possible to make.
so I started to weave for others. Had
a chance to sell some rugs by having
them made up of rags I had on hand,
and ﬁnally started buying goods purpose-
ly to make into rugs. Have a good bus-
iness now in both rugs and quilt mak-
ing. I bought new cuttings from factory
by the hundred pounds, and as so many
were too small for strips ofany length,
started piecing ﬂocks of different patterns
and there is very little waste on them.-
Also sewed and made up rugs on shares
when one had worn out clothing and no
time to sew the carpet rags themselves.
I do these things beside raising turkeys,
geese, and chickens, and still ﬁnd time
for some good reading—Mrs. J. V., May-
ville, Mich. . .

Ammonia. Used in Cookies.—-A number
of years ago I quite often made ammonia
cookies. I «bought 5 cents worth of car-
bonate of ammonia .or baker’s ammonia
as they are the same. I think 5 cents
worth was an ounce, and I used one-half
of this for a recipe, the size given by “a
subscriber". The remainder can be kept
until another, fbaking, by putting in a
glass can with tight cover. Dissolve in
’the milk after grating. Try using the
grated rind of a lemon instead of oil of
lemon.

A lOOO-Mile Shoe——

Every man knows what it is
to dry out wet shoes. The leather

the Rouge Rex shoe dries out after
any soaking as soft as new buck-
skin. This amazing shoe stays
soft. No other shoe made like it!

nears no Hibernian
ANY laud their praises.
In bits of fancy rhyme.

But I” just put my poorer strength,
To match it for this time.

I think it is the grandest state,
For its beauty and its worth,
Salt and coal and gypsum,

Are taken from its earth.

Lansing is the capital

Its beauty is quite a part, /~
0f the capitol building with its host:

Of old and painted art.

Detroit is also growing fast.

It ranks the ﬁrst in size

And Belle Isle with its pretty views.
Is ﬁrst and second for a prize.

The state it is surrounded

By a wondrous chain of lakes,

To say nothing of the thousand others,
Which in all its total makes.

The upper part of Michigan,
Has wealth not used as yet.

' But when it gets into the game;

You’ll know it you just bet.

Will just mention a few of the cities,’
Where education is advanced,

I mean the college and normal schools,
Which we may well enhance.

The normal schools at Marquette,
Mt. Pleasant and Kalamazoo,

Ann Arbor has the U. of M.

M. A. C. at Lansing, too.

Marquette and Jackson has the pens,
Owned and used by the state.

The school for boys at Lansing,
At Adrian for girls of fate.

I fear my poem is OVer long,
But still there’s more to tell,
Three cheers! for good old Michigan.
And may you love her well.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Ned:—-—Just a note this
time. I have been sick‘this past week
and while sick thought of this story for
The Children’s Hour, as you said we
could send in poems, stories or drawings.
(One thing sure, I’ 11 never send in a draw-
ing fit for anything, as I can’t draw
descent). Today is the ﬁrst day I am
able to be up around and write. To-
morrow I am going to start making up
my school work, so I’ll be up with my
class when I return to school. Hoping
you receive enough letters from readers
of The Children’s Hour to convince you
that we want 8. “Correspondence Scram-
ble”, I am, sincerely—Muriel Fray, Cale-
donia, Michigan.

Our Feathered Friends

There was once a little girl named
Madge, who lived on a big farm with a
beautiful wood lot. On one side of the
woods was a pleasant grove of maples,
where also somethnes took her little
schoolmates for picnics in the summer
time.

There were birds of many kinds that
lived in these woods—blue birds, wood-
peckers, robins, quails, and wrens. She
rad made friends with the birds, especial-
ly the «nails and wrens. The quails
would answer her when she called “Bob
White" and she had bought a little wren
muse and hung it in the woods to pro-
tect a mother wren from the birds that
preyed on her.

One day a little neighbor boy named
Roy, was given a gun for a birthday
present. After he had his gun for a
while, he began to brag about how few
shots it took to bring down a bird. Madge
was sad because he killed birds, and one
time when they were playing together.
she told him how she wished he wouldn't
kill birds because it was wicked. He

told her it was fun, and that she had.

“girls ideas” and boys were brave like
men. She said it wasn‘t brave to kill
innocent birds, and almost convinced him
that she was right.

Just the same he went to the woods
hunting that afternoon, and trudged
around until he was tired looking for a
bird in a position where he could hit it
sure. He had seen birds many times that
afternoon that he could have killed, but
he would say to himself "I’ll wait until
I ﬁnd one real close tome.”

It was a hot, sultry,. afternoon, and

ﬁnally ‘Roy sat down under a big elm'

tree to rest. He was thinking about
,Madge’s silly girl views, (as he called
them). Finally he saw a. bird close by.
He pulled his gun, aimed carefully, and
ﬁred. He saw he hadn’t killed the bird,
but had wounded it, so it just sort of
ﬂuttered along. He followed it, and saw
it drop to the ground He picked it up
and found it was now dead. He heard
a noise and looked around, and there was
a nest full of little birds. They were
sticking out their little heads and open-
ing their mouths for food, because their
mother had been on a return trip to them
fm hunting food. When Roy realized
thialtmdehimneslsad. Heknewths
poor little ﬁning would stem now that
their mother was dead. and Mt m

  
 

» and it 'a piano to:
them, and try to nine them, neonates he
felt real wicked and miserable.

Just then a blgdropot rain splashed
on his forehead follov'ied by another, and
another. He started up quickly, looked
around for the birds, and then realized

that he had dreamed this while asleep

under the big elm He was so relieved
that it was a dream He jumped up
quickly, and ran home because it was
raining quite hard now, On the way
home he vowed to never kill any more
of our little feathered friends. but to try
his skill on real pests or targets.

So“ much for conditions with
which we are all more or less
laminar. Now what about the rem-
any? It is common knowledge that
it is comparatively easy to criticize
alnlost any program presented by
another. But to outline a remedy
as a program to be. carried out, is
entirely another problem. The
complex condition of our economic
relationship between Industries and
governments of the world makes
the problem so great that to date
we have been able to discover no
one person who is able to outline a
course of action that Would solve it.
I ﬁrmly believe that the task will
require the best efforts of many
men, honestly and earnestly inclin-
ed, without the handicap of selﬁsh-
ness or prejudice, seeking just and
fair means for an equitable distri-
bution of wealth. Therefore I sub-
mit the following for consideration.

Taxes Must Come Down

Many things have happened in
the last few years. Therefore many
adjustments will have to be made,
among which I will mention only a
few which I think most important.
m, taxes. The cost of Govern-
ment should be equitably spread up-
on real property, including live
stock and machinery, intangibles
such as money, bonds, mortgages,
etc., also upon all citizens, because
all enjoy the beneﬁts and protection
of Government without which they
could not exist. Due consideration
of course should be given their abil-
ity to pay, for any tax that becomes
conﬁrmatory is little short of. rob-
bery. -

And in the second place freight
rates should be established with
more consideration given to the act-
ual value of the commodity shipped.
For instance most farm commodi-
ties are heavy and bulky. In many

- cases the freight bill nearly eduals

the entire cash value of the ship-
ment. This situation should be
premptly and effectively remedied.
In our opinion no solution of the
problem would be complete which
did not give an important point to
the subject‘ of co—operative market-
ing. The chief reasons why the
farmers are trying to develop co—
operative marketing are economic
in nature and have to do with the
problem of lowering the cost of dis-

j tribution of food, which, of course,
, is' good business for our entire so-

cial structure. Our Federal and

«. State Governments should do every—

thing possible to assist by pointing
the way and by other means when
necessary.

Good farming is good business]

applied to farming, meaning good
soil, good seed, good stock and good

‘ business methods, and I am glad to

say that our Governments, both

‘ state and federal, are doing every-

thing that they can do to help along
this line.
Inﬂation and Deﬂation
The 'writer- remembers when a
hey, it he was to enjoy coasting
down the ,hill he: must by some

0 , means get back up the hill again.

Now it agriculture is to enjoy its
former relationship with other in-
dustries it must get back to the, pos—
ition it occupied in 1919. During/

V this time when money was easy to

get, debts were contracted to the
largest extent ever recorded in his-

tory and we all expected to pay
thee. W with our commod-
e cash value of

Simmons will hasten to say that
we have the some money unit today
that we had in 1919.1 will reply
by saying that value only means so
much of one thing is given for so
much of" another. So the value of

 

 

any given thing. including money._

depends upon the amount‘avallable
and the demand for it. So when
money is plenty and cheap everyone
is trying to exchange money for
things, and when‘ money is scarce-
the conditions change and every one
is trying to exchange things for
money. Therefore money. becomes
dear.

Tax Exempt Bonds and Securities

The cruy desire to go in debt
was not conﬁned to indiviuals, they
only follow the example set by our
governments and our municipali-
ties. Some of the astounding ﬁg-
ures are given below. The debts

' carried by governments, National,

State, County, cities, etc., in 1912
was $6,814,955,000. This had
grown in 1922 to $32,.786,716,000.
The increase represents 381 per
cent. The per capita debt in that
period rose from $70.20 to $301.56.
That the reader may see what is
meant by the unparalleled increase
of public debts, the division of re-
sponsibility is given as follows:

National Debt ......$22,525,775.000
State Debt ............ 1,162,648,000
County Debt ......... 1,366,636,000
Cities and others... 7.731,858,000

The interest is more than one and
one-quarter billion dollars a year.

This great indebtedness was
largely augmented by tax exempt
bonds and securities, a condition
made possible by legislation and
capable of being corrected only
through legislation.

Thereiore I am convinced that
the only means by which agricul-
ture‘ can relieve the serious condi-
tions which it is in, is by thorough
and complete organisation, and
with its numerical strength, support
such men as have a knowledge of
the reel conditions enacting agri-
culture, and who are earnestly try-
ing to enact a cum. Possibly the
greatest results may he obtained by
organised support of beneﬁcial laws
or rulings and a careful analysis of
all measures, so that we may be
able to combat harmful measures.

impossible for any girl to live decent-1y
wwages whose meagemess sent many a
girl to her ruin.

Miss Maggie listened attentively, and .

said, “Yes, yes. I see,” several times.
But in the end the eager-eyed young wo-
man went away empty-handed and Mr.
Smith frowned again.

He had thought Miss Maggie was so
kind-hearted! She gave to some fairs-—
why not to this one? As soon as pos-
sible Mr. Smith hunted up the eager-eyed
young woman and gave her ten dollars.
He would have given her more, but he
learned from unpleasant experience .that
large gifts from unpretentious Mr. John
Smith brought comments and curiosity
not always agreeable.

It was not until many weeks later that

Mr. Smith chanced to hear of the complete .

change of policy of Daly’s department
store. Hours were shortened, labor light-
ened. and wages raised. Incidently he
learned that it had all started from a
crusade of women’s clubs and church
committees who had ”got after old Daly"
and threatened all sorts of publimy and
unpleasantness if the wrongs were not

‘righted at once. He learned that the

M. A. C. WILL. LIST SUPERIOR \
_ COWS '
ECOGNITION of superior ani—
mals in Michigan cow testing
associations will be given with
the establishment of an animal
“blue book" for the highest pro-
ducing cows, beginning with this
year, according to an announcement
by the Dairy Husbandry Depart-
ment of Michigan Agricultural Col—
lege. -.
More than 2,000 cow testing as-
sociation records were examined in
order to arrive at a standard of pro-
duction, in accordance with the top
12 or 15 per cent of the association
cows will be allowed to quality. All
cows in regularly organized associa-
tions will be eligible for entry in
the new record of performance upon
meeting the required standards.- .

The new plan will establish a sys-
tem of permanently recording the
State’s best cows and will stimulate
interest in better feeding, better
breeding and better “weeding,” ac-
cording to Department ofﬁcials. It
also will aid in enhancing the value
of superior cows and their off-‘
spring, and will emphasize the val—
ue of a bull according to the produc-
tion records of his daughters.

Certiﬁcates of production will be
granted for all animals that quali-
fy for the record of performance,
besides their inclusion in the annu-
al year book.

Requirements for certiﬁcation in
the record of performance year
book will be as follows for the var-
ious classes during the association
year:

1. Heifers starting record under
three years old must produce 280
pounds or more of butter fat.

2. Cows starting record under
four years old' must produce 310
pounds or more of butter fat.

3. Cows starting record under
«ﬁve years old must produce 350
pounds or more of butter fat.

4. Cows starting record when
ﬁve years old or over must produce
400 pounds or more of butter fat.

5. When age is not known, cow
is to be classed as mature, and must
produce 400 pounds or more of but-
ter fat.

TAKING SHEEP ON SHARES

What share should I have to give
for sheep furnished me to raise on
shares? I would like to get about
50 head. I have 120 acres of cut-
over land with briers and brush. .Do
you think that to work up to 100
head'in three years would be more
than I could pasture in good shape?
I am sowing mixed grass seed as
fast as pastured off.——C. G., Karlin,
Mich.

——There are'many' different systems
used in letting sheep out on shares
to Michigan farmers. However, the
oldest and most common one is for
the sheep to double to the owner in
three years; that is, the man tak—
ing the sheep stands all the death
loss and returns to the owner twice
as many sheep of about the same
average age and breeding value as
the Ones he received at the begin—
ning of the three-year period.
Whether or not you could carry
one hundred head of sheep on your
one-hundred and twenty acres of
cut-over land would depend ﬁrst
upon the productiveness of your

soil and second upon the amount '0!
open grass not thickly covered with
briars and brush and the kind of

grass to which it is ,seeded.‘ They

sheep will not do well :if con-ﬁned
closely enough ,to make them clear
on? very great quantities of the
briars and brush, and you will have
better results if you start with a
smaller number than your pasture

will carry and increase the ﬂock as V

you see that you have plenty of
pasture.

A smaller number of sheep well
fed and taken care oi." are much
more proﬁtable than a larger num-
ber poorly fed and cared for, par-
ticularly on the share plan, because
the death risk is usually entirely as-
sumed by the man who takes the
sheep.———V. A. Freeman, Extension

HYDROPHOBIA OR RABIES

Could you tell me how a dog acts
when he has hydrophobia and the
cause'f Would any other animal
get it without the dog biting them?
Had a two year old dog in good
health and suddenly went mad and
would very much like to know the
cause—E. E. R., Wixom, Michigan.

——There are. two commonly des-
cribed types of hydrophobia, or
rabies; ‘ the “Furious” and the
“Dumb.”

The “furious” type is the ' type

which attracts the most attention
and represents the greatest danger
to animals or persons. Probably
the ﬁrst represents the greatest
danger to animals or persons. Prob-
ably the ﬁrst noticeable symptom is
a change in behavior. The animal
later becomes very excitable and
other disturbances of a nervous
nature are in evidence. Frequent‘
1y a morbid appetite is exhibited;
the animal refusing favored food
and attempting to partake of indi-
gestable objects in preference. Ex-
cessive salivation may then make
its appearance and the nervous
symptoms become aggravated. Af-
fected amimals frequently attempt
to get away from their usual sur-
roundings and, once they escape,
may or may not return. If other
dogs are encountered during the
journey, they will probably be at-
tacked without cause or
Human beings are less in danger, as
rabid dogs mostly avoid them and
usually only attack when irritated.

In the “dumb” rabies the change
in behavior may pass unnoted. The
period of excitability will be very
short, to be followed almost~immed-
iately by paralytic symptoms; par—
ticularly paralysis of the muscles of
the jaw and throat, followed by

body. In this form of the disease
the patients are usually weak from

Allame

ing White Diarrhea

 

n... following letter will no doubt

be of utmost interest to poultry rah

ers who have had serious losses
from White Diarrhea. We will let
Mrs. Bradshaw tell of her experé
ience in her own words:

“Gentlemen: I see reports of so
~ many losing their little chicks with

White Diarrhea, so thought I would
tell my experience. I used to lose a
great many from this came, tried
many remedies and was about dis-‘
couraged. As a last resort I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Dept 687,
Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko
White Diarrhea Remedy. I used two
50c packages, raised 300 White Wy-

‘ ~andottes and never lost one or had

bne sick after giving the medicine
and my chickens are larger and

'. healthier than ever -.before I have

found this company thoroughly re-
liable and always get the remedy by
return mail. —-Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw,

Beaconsﬁeld, Iowa. "

 

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by the
Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum. This
germ is transmitted to the baby
chick through the yolk of the newly
hatched egg. Readers are warned
to beware of White Diarrhea. Don' t
wait until it kills half your chicks.
Take the “stitch in- time that saves
nine." Remember, there is scarcely
a hatch without some infected
chicks. Don’t let these few infect
your entire ﬂock. Prevent it. Give
Walko in all drinking water for the
ﬁrst two weeks and you won’t lose
one chick where you lost hundreds
before. These letters prove it:

Never Lost a Single Chick

Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share
of chicks from White Diarrhea. Fin-
ally I sent fer two packages of Wal-
110.1 raised over 500 chicks and I
never lost a single chick from White
Diarrhea. Walko not only prevents
White Diarrhea, but it gives the
chicks strength and vigor; they de-
velop quicker and feather earlier."

Never Lost One After First Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoad'es, Shennandoah,
Iowa, writes: “My ﬁrst incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, he-

' gun to die by the dozens with White

Diarrhea. I tried different remedies
and was about discouraged with the
chicken business. Finally, I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo,
Iowa, for a box of their Walko
White Diarrhea Remedy. It’ 3 just
the only thing for this terrible dis-
ease. We raised 700 thrifty, healthy
chicks and never lost a single chick
after the ﬁrst dose.”

eggs are dirty don’t wash them,

is the advice oﬂered egg 9170-.

(hosts by the United States De-;
partment of Agriculture. Washed
eggs deteriorate more ‘ rapidly than
unwashed, and detection of a few
washed eggs may cause buyers to
penalize the entire lot.

Unusually large quantities of
washed eggs are reported this
spring.‘ the department says. Al—

though dirty eggs are discounted in
price, washing eggs will generally
cause producers a greater loss.

Only clean, unwashed, high-
quality eggs bring top prices. Pro-
duction of clean eggs is accomplish-
ed by keeping hen house ﬂoors and
nests clean, gathering eggs. daily
and keeping the laying hens during
muddy weather in dry quarters un-
til atternoon when most of the eggs
will have been laid. Producers will
ﬁnd it more proﬁtable to use the
soiled eggs on the farm, and to mar-
ket only the best quality product,
the department says.

FEEDING KENS SKIM MILK

Does skim milk take the place of
meat entirely for chickens? We
have about 50 hens and I feed them
one and one-half’peck daily of one-
half barley and one half buckwheat.
They have all shells they want and
nearly all the skim milk they want.
I haVe one window 2 feet<by -3 feet
covered with burlap and three vent-
alators of one and one—half inch
pipe which comes about 21/2 inches
from the ﬂoor and 18 inches out of
the roof. They all look healthy.
What do you'think is lacking to
make them lay?———W. R., Elkton,
Mich.
-,—A very satisfactory production
can belsecured when the hens have
skim milk available at all times.
Ordinarily, however, a slightly high-
er production will follow the addi‘
tion of meat scrap in the dry mash,

at the rate of ten per cent. as a sup- -

plement to the skim milk. A 312
egg record was made' by a Barred
Rock at the Ontario Station that
was fed a ration consisting of
skim milk always available, ground
oats in the dry mash ' hopper
and a scratch feed twice daily con-
sisting of two parts corn and one of
wheat, in addition to oyster shell,
grit, and sprouted oats.

More complex rations are being
recommended at this time. The
most popular rationused in practic-
ally all laying contests, would in-
clude a scratch feed containing
cracked corn, and wheat, and a dry
mash available at all times compos-
ed of the! following ingredients: 20
per cent bran, 20 per cent corn
meal, 20 per cent ground cats, 20
per cent middlings, 10 per cent
meat scrap. The protein content
can be increased. by giving skim
milk, buttermilk, semi-solid, or
powdered milk.

The laying hen will ordinarily
consume four ounces of feed daily.
Duringthe winter months a slightly
higher percentage of scratch feed

should be supplied and after May

ﬁrst the day's ration should consist
of two ounces. of scratch and two of
mash.

It seems to me that you would
ﬁnd your hens in a more responsive
mood if the laying house was re-
modelled, including more window
space, and a more effective ventila-
tion system. The outlet ﬂue should
be atleast twelve inches in diamet—
er, preferably ﬁfteen or eighteen,
and should come within eighteen
inches of the ﬂoor, and extend be-
yond the-highest point of the roof.

Approximately one third ’of the
south side should be lighted. —E. C.
Foreman, Professor of Poultry Hus-
bandry, M. A. C. ,

Chicks Dying

How to stop it in 48 hours

White diarrhea kills half of all the
chicks hatched, yet this loss is easily
prevented, easily stopped. For years,

thousands of poultry raisers have
stamped out the trouble almost entirely, by
putting Avicol in the drinking water. With-
in 48 hours, the sick ones are lively as
crickets. Mrs. Wm. May, Rego, Ind., says:
“I was losing 15 chicks a day before I re-
ceived the Avicol. I haven’ i; lost one since. ”
Avicol costs nothing to try. Readers are
urged to write to Burrell- -Dugger Co., 312
Allen Ave Indianapolis, Ind., sending 50c
as a deposit for a package by mail pre aid
(or $1 for large size holding nearly 3 t mes

dangerof poisoning them by leav-z
ing the buttermilk stand; in milk

cans, if so how long can it be left

standing in the code before there is
danger? What kind of dishes are

best to feed buttermilk in?—H. D. 7

M., Jackson, Mich.

——_—Disastrous results sometimes at-
tend the feeding of liquid milk pro-
ducts in galvanized dishes. 1 The

lactic acid of the mllk‘reacts chem--

ically on the galvanized metal, r‘e-
leasing lead impurities which poison
the chicks. Ordinarily this reaction
can be’ noted by the change of color
of the galvanized dish which will
have a dark area wherever the milk
came in contact with it. The but-
termilk could be retained in kegs or
stave barrels for a long period with—
out seriously interfering with its
feeding value. \There should be no
danger attending the holding of
buttermilk in the ordinary milk can
for several consecutive days, but

-when fed to chicks, glass, earthen-

ware, or wooden receptacles should
be used—E. C. Foreman, Professor
of Poultry Husbandry, M. A. C.

DAIRYMEN TO HAVE CENTRAL
MILK MARKETING AGENCY

(Continued from Page 4)

that the central sales agency pro—
posed would be able to hold single
distributors in check, and negotiate
fair margins for cash and carry,
with uniform prices for each serv-
ice.

Some form of pooling plan for
equitable harmonious ' tribution
of returns to producers, as clearly
in the minds of various speakers.
The sharp division in the ranks of
New York dairymen, due to their
pooling plan, was referred to re-
peatedly, but there seemed to be
general belief that such troubles
could be avoided. Manager Clifford
Hough of the Connecticut Milk Pro-
ducers’ Association offered his or-
ganization as an instance. It is go—
ing forward under a somewhat sim-
ilar pool with increasing efﬁciency,
prosperously and harmoniously, fair
play bringing fair play and uniform
prices.

Manager Bradford of the famous
Turner Center system favored the
central sales proposal, but caution—
ed against over-ambition and too
Wide a, “spread” between ﬂuid and
surplus prices; “ﬁrst aid” now is to
keep that spread narrow enough to
avoid over—temptation to milk man-
ufacturers.

President Little ﬁnally put his
idea in the form of a resolution,
calling for “action toward the es—
tablishment of a common market-
ing agency covering New England,
on a basis of equalizing returns to
a11;”—a broad wording intended to
allow wide latitude in formulating
the ultimate plan. This resolution,
after full debate, was adopted by an
overwhelming majority,‘ everybody
present being allowed to vote. To
study the question and carry the
plan forward a committee was elect-
ed.

To the writer the outstanding
phenomenon of the meeting was the
speech of Manager Richard Pattee
of NEMPA, now become, since the
lamented death of Secretary Mann-
ing of. New York, the senior and
dean of eastern cooperative dairy
leaders. Considering the size of
the brain producing it, this speech
was out of all comparison the brief-
est, the simplest and the quietest of
the meeting—as unruffled as a.
Mediterranean calm. It voiced the
deep and undisturbed conviction of
the speaker that the cooperative
movement is certain to go on, what-
ever temporary obstacles
encounter, until its service to pro-
ducer and.consumer has been fully
rendered. Mr. Pattee has an un-
shakeable faith, he said, in the
foundation common sense of the
farmer, and in his ability to work
out his ow‘n problems as they con-
front hlm. “We are up against a
calamity,” he concluded, “whch
that, common sense cannot solve.
When we have determined what we
ought to do. we shall so forward to-

A Remarkable

H om e Treatment
Given by One Who
Had It.

In the year of 1893 I
was attacked by Mus-
cular and Sub—acute
Rheumatism. I suffered
as onl . .
thus a fllcted know, for
over three fyears. I trled
remedy a ter remedy,
but such relief as I ob-
tained was only tempor-
ary. Finally, I found a.
treatment that c'ured
me completely, and
such a pitiful condltlon
has never returned. I
have glven 1t to a num-
ber who were terribly
afflicted, even bedrid-
den, some of them sev-
enty to eighty years
old, and the results
were the same as 1n my
own case.

I want every sufferer
from any form of mus—
cular and sub - acute
(swelling at the joints)
rheumatsim, to try the
great value of my im-
proved “Home Treat-
ment” for its remarka-
ble healing power. Do
not send a cent; simply
mail your name and ad-
dress and I will send it
free to try. After you
have used it and it has
proven itself to be that
long-looked—for means
of getting rid of such
forms of rheumatism,
you may send the price
of it, one dollar, but un-
derstand, I do not want
your money unless you
are perfectly satisfied
to send it. Isn’t that
fair?
longer when relief is
thus offered you free?
Don’t delay. Write to-

Spring Has Arrived

PBING is usually pretty late in
arriving in Michigan and the
surrounding states, where re-
turns temporarily to cold days and
nights are likely to happen at a y
time, but we have now reached t e
period of the year when farmers are
out in the fields in preparation for
the coming months of growing and
reaping. They have learned the
lesson of the danger of putting all
their eggs in one basket furnished
by the last year’s wheat crop, and
there is no probability that the
many tillers of the soil who have
made sharp reductions in wheat
acreage will have cause to regret
doing so. In a short time the pas-
tures will be green once more and
ready for cattle grazing, but there
Is danger of turning in stock before
the grass has had a fair start and

ﬂthereby injuring its growth. This

‘ on farms

year there has been a slow move-
ment in stocking farms with thin
cattle for grazing and feeding, but
it is getting late, and at any time a
starting up in the demand for stock-
ers and feeders ‘is likely to take
place. These cattle have been sell-
ing below their real values in many
instances, and they are bound to go
higher before long. It is not an
easy matter to ascertain approxi-
mately the number of brood sows
in the corn belt this
spring, but from all that can be
learned it appears that the number

~ is much less than a year ago, and

there arereasons for believing that
the Department of Agriculture falls
short of the facts in estimating that
there are but 13 per cent fewer

' sows this spring than a year ago.

ply of 1923-24.

Probably enough hogs will be rais-
ed to satisfy requirements, but
there promises to be a marked fall—
ing off from the enormous over sup—
It is diﬁcult to pre-
dict the future course of prices, but

: conditions point to higher prices for

hogs, an advance of at least $1 per
100 pounds over last winter appear-
ing not unreasonable. In some
states there is a movement to raise
alfalfa and soy beans, and it is un-
derstood that the Wisconsin farmers
are going to double their alfalfa
and soy bean acreage. In most
farming districts efforts are being

. made to intensify production to the

acre, and many farmers are giving

‘ their land a good dressing of lime.

Light Trade In Wheat
Judging from the trend of prices

. in the wheat market for several

weeks, there is little in the sur-

, roundings which is encouraging to

holders, and many owners have

' closed out their lines either in part

‘ than in former

or wholly. ‘It is noticed that spec-
ulators are much less in evidence

175,000,000 bushels left over there
for shipment. A reduction is re—
ported in the area devoted to spring
wheat in the United States, but the
winter wheat acreage is regarded
as too large for these times. In fact,
some well-informed authorities be-
lieve there is danger that the aggre-
gate wheat crop of this country will
be larger than that of 1923 if the
crops turn out all right. A short
time ago wheat for May delivery
sold at $1.08, comparing with $1.26

a year ago.
Less Demand for Corn

Conditions have changed mater-
ially in recent months,
for corn have gone much lower un-
der larger sales by owners and a
slower demand from various quart-
ers. Recent sales have been made
a few cents lower than at this time
in 1923, but around two years ago
May corn sold on the Chicago
Board of Trade as low as 59 cents.
The prevailing belief is that the
corn acreage planted this spring_
will be as large as usual.
cattle and hogs are being fed than
a year ago, and it is predicted by
close observers that less corn will
be fed to swine for the coming half
year than a year ago. The demand
in the Chicago and other markets
for corn to ship to eastern points
has fallen off materially, but very
fair amounts have gone to western
and southWestern districts. .Sales
in the aggregate of cash lots of corn
have fallen off a good deal, while
farmers west of the Missouri river
sold freely, but Illinois farmers
were light sellers. Oats seeding has
been in progress and a good acre-
age is claimed. Oats have been
selling at about the same prices as a
year ago, but about two years ago
May oats sold as low as 37 cents a
bushel. The visible supply in the
United States is about 14,000,000
bushels, comparing with 26,900,000
bushels last year. May corn sold a
short time ago on the Chicago
Board of Trade at 79 cents, or
about the same as a year ago. May
oats sold on the same day at 47%
cents, comparing with 45%, cents
last-year; and May rye at 55%
cents, comparing with 86% cents a
year ago. Recent selling of Sep-
tember corn was based on expecta-
tion of an increased acreage and on
reports of reduced consumption on
farms.

Prime Beef Cattle Advance

Most of the time there are salic-
ient beef cattle offered on the Chi-
cago market to meet trade require-
ments, although fewer cattle are re-
ported in feeding districts of the
corn belt than a year ago. But
there are not many strictly prime
long fed heavy steers in the country
and the percentage of choice to
fancy steers and heifers offered on
the market is very small most of
the time. Now and then there are
larger supplies of prime fat weighty
steers than usual, and several days
ago Nebraska was handsomely rep-
resented with about 375 head of fat
steers weighing from 1325 to 1500
pounds, which sold at $12.25 to
$12.35, with a sale of 28 of the lot
which averaged 1549 pounds at
$12.60, the highest sale in a long
time. On Monday when these sales
were made the cattle receipts ag-
gregated 22,618 head, and the gen-
eral market was at least 25 cents
lower. Last week’s cattle receipts
were much larger than a week ear-
lier, but thelocal and shipping de-
mand was surprisingly large for
Holy Week, and prices advanced
after earlier declines. The bulk of

canner and cutter cows at $21510

There is only a moderate de-

$6.25 to $2.50. Combined cattle
receipts in twen. markets for the
year to late date amount to 3,565,-

a year ago. A r ago common to
prime beef stec. sold at $6.65 to
$10.35 and tWO years ago at $6.25
to $9.25. Late sales last week av-
eraged 25 to 40 cents lower than a
week earlier.
Hogs Still Plentifnl

Now and then there is a marked
falling off in the marketing of hogs
in Chicago, but most of the times
there is no scarcity, although small-
er numbers showed up last week.
Weakness in prices developed at
times last week, and eastern ship-
pers bought much less freely than a
few weeks ago, while local packers
held back, claiming a loss at pre-
vailing prices for hog products. The
general quality of the hogs offered
showed a marked falling off, and in-
ferior lots sold badly. The bulk of
the hogs sold within a range of 20
cents, with heavy butchers » at the
top and selling 10 cents above the
best light bacon weights. Recent
receipts. of hogs averaged 234
pounds, being ﬁve pounds lighter
than a year ago and the same as
the ten-year average for correspond-
ing weeks. 14,517,000 hogs, com—
paring with 13,755,000 for the cor-
responding period last year and with
10,202,000 two years ago. Hogs
are selling much lower than in re-
cent years. A year ago they sold at
$6.60 to $8.50 and two years ago
at $9 to $10.70. Recent smaller re-
ceipts in the Chicago market check-
ed the downward course of prices.
and late sales were made of hogs
at $6.65 to $7.65.

Chicago Lamb market

Despite continued meager receipts
recently, there was a big tumble
from the previous time, prices hav~
ing reached almost a prohibitory
level when prime handy weight
lambs sold for $17.10 per 100
pounds. However, there is no kick
coming from sheepmen, their proﬁts
being extremely large. Hang on to
the docks and market only prime
lots. Unshorn lambs have been sell-
ing at $13 to $16.50 and feeding
lambs at $14.25 to $15.75. A year
ago top lambs brought $14.60 and
weight years ago $11.85.

, Early Lamb Situation

Because of the embargo on east-
ern shipments of California lambs
and the continuation of the very un—
favorable conditions during March
in Kentucky and Tennesee the
market supply of early spring lambs
before June 1 will be very much
smaller than usual according to a.
report made by the United States
Department of Agriculture. These
three states furnish most of the,
spring lambs marketed before June
ﬁrst.

While the indications are that
the market supply of sheep and
lambs during April and May will. be
the smallest in some years,“with fed
stock making up an unusual-per-
centage of the total, the market
supply in June. and July may be
somewhat larger than) that of last
year because of the delayedmore-

BEANS

Prices in the Detroit bean market
during the ,last two weeks have
worked a little nearer to the $4.50
level predicted by some of the buy-
ers and there is a quiet tone to the
trading. The New York market is
inactive. Trading is not enough to
cause the price to advance and
dealers are not willing to sell at low-
er prices so the price remains un-
changed. In event the $10,000,000
appropriation for relief of German
children passes at Washington, it is
believed that this huge fund released
for the purchase of food stuffs will

 

\

have a tremendous bearing on the "

Michigan Bean market and upon the
acreage for this year. _Several well
known men interested in Michigan
beans are working to see that Michi-
gan beans will be considered as one
of the ﬁrst foods to be purchased.

POTATOES
’ The Detroit market has been
steady with - demand moderate.
There is a fair supply'of old stock
on the market at present. The Chi-
cago market is weak on whites but
firm on reds with demand and trad-

 

ing very slow. A steady demand is

noted at eastern points.

HAY . .

The hay markets shbw some effect
of the seasons dullness but the very
small offerings of the better sorts
keep these prices very firm and there-
fore bnoy up the situation as a
whole. .

There is also the seasonal inﬂuence
of bad country roads which are re-
stricting shipments to, some extent
this week. On the other hand the
large proportion of low grade and
unsound stock keep this end or the
market dull and weak.

Let’s Bring the
Buyers to Michigan
There is no doubt of their eager-
ness to come or of the splendid

prices they are ready to pay for
Fine Pelts;

 

The Black Fox Magazine for January says editorially:

During December, particularly the latter part,
the Charlottetown newspapers were full of ad-
vertisments soliciting furs. Numerous buyers
from the United States visited ’the province, in-
cluding representatives from the big fur houses
of Alfred Eisenback, Jaeckel & Sons and Roy
Pines, of New York, and several buyers from
Quebec, while the consignment houses of Fred-
erick Huth & 00., C. M. Lampson & Co., and
the Canadian Fur Auction were actively solicit-
ing consignments for their auctions.

Mr. Geo. B. Herzig, of New York, well known
to Silver Fox breeders, particularly since the
National Live Fox Exhibition at Milwaukee,
where he was one of the judges, spent two
weeks with Mr. W. Chester S. McClure buying
Silver'Fox skins. Mr. McClure’s ofﬁce on those
days would certainly cure any pessimist or any-

one who doubts the possibilities of Silver Fox-

farming. It was positively thronged with Fox
farmers carrying large and small bundles of
Silver Fox Furs. And in the two weeks it was
estimated that over $270,000 was paid out in
cold cash. This included .the purchases in Sum-
merside, Prince Ed. Isles.

It is estimated that the industry will bring
into the province this year a total of $1,500,000,
of which over a million will be for skins. As
the agricultural products had to be sold this
year at a comparatively low level, the activity
in the Silver Fox market has been a distinct
boon to the island.
