and everything is about two
weeks behind the Armada Agricul-
tural Society, Armada, Mich., re~

 

cently held the most successful and

best fair of its 52 years existence.
On the opening day, September
16th, and every day to the close,
September 19th, a record crowd
was in attendance. Directors of the
fair estimated the daily attendance
averaged around 4,000 people, with
the top day around 6,000. Exhibits
were the best ever seen at that fair
and some expressed the opinion,
“Never seen better at any fair." The
farm crops display was unusually
good and the feature of this display
was fruit. E. D. Wiemaun, Armada,

arranged for a big dairy and alfalfa
campaign for Ionia county. Present
plans call for eight meetings each

A SANITARY CODE FOR BEE-
KEEPERS
T the ﬁfth Annual Summer meet~
ing of the Michigan Beekeep-
ers’ Association at Cheboygan
a sanitary code for beekeepers was
adopted as follows: (Honey should
not be extracted or stored in build-
ings or houses frequented by ani-

mals. (2) The extracting room
should be well lighted. (3) Honey
should be strained before being
placed in a storage tank. (4)

Utensils shoul be kept thoroughly
clean. (6) ackages in; which

-_._honey is to be placed should be

washed. (6) The beekeeper should
be neat, clean and sanitary of per.
son. (7) The use of tobacco in the
honey-house is to .be discouraged.

is a strange and contradictory
- trait of human nature that while
~. r‘we are all prone to tell of the
ifgood old days” and pay tribute to
the traditions and precedents of the
best, yet we are ever anxious for
change and supposed improvement.
Perhaps it is for the best that
these conditions and relationships
which were productive of such bene-
ficial results in ages past are not re-
garded as good enough today. Out
of this constant unrest some actual
and constructive progress emerges.
Yet, despite this fact, we all realize
that because an idea is new or dif-
ferent does not guarantee that it is
totally good and should be adopted
forthwith.

Now lest confusion arise in your
minds as to what we are driving at,
let us state the matter briefly and
then discuss it more in detail.

During the recent session of Con-
gress a resolution was passed by
the necessary two-thirds of each
branch, providing for the submis-
sion to the legislatures of the sever-
al states, of a so-called “Child Lab-
or" amendment to the federal con-
stitution. This amendment if ap-
proved by the legislative bodies in
three—fourths of the states, will be-
come the Twentieth Amendment to
the constitution of the United
States.

Inasmuch as the acceptance or re-
jection of this amendment will be
a matter to be settled, as far as
Michigan is concerned, at the regu-
lar legislative session this coming
January, it is none too early to be
giving thoughtful consideration to
the issues involved. The following
is the text of the amendment:

“Section 1. Congress shall
have power to limit, regulate,
and prohibit the labor of per-
sons under eighteen years of
age. - .
“Section 2. The power of the
several States is unimpaired by
this article, except that the op-
eration of State laws shall be
suspended to the extent neces-
sary to give effect to . legisla-
tion enacted by Congress."

An amendment to the national
Constitution is presumed to be urg-
ed only by ”overwhelming necess-
ity". The pending proposal, through
its designation as the “Child Labor”
amendment, makes a peculiarly
sympathetic and disarming appeal.

- History indicates that representa-

tive institutions have often been
imperilled by popular rulers before
whom the people’s vigilance relaxed.
So, too, power is likely to be reck-
lessly bestowed in response to a
plausible appeal to the heart which
dime the reason. Perhaps those who
analyze and reﬂect will ﬁnd lurking
beneath a touching sentiment a de-
termined endeavor to obtain a grant
of power from the people, revolu-
tionary in its effect upon their pri-
vate life and government, and en-
tirely unnecessary to accomplish an
object which all desire. As the
Dearborn Independent recently re-
marked, "About the only way to
mislead an American is to appeal to
his humanitarianism.- It is the sur-
est way to mislead the American
woman”.

Analysis of the proposed ament-
ment demonstrates that it is not a
“Child Labor” amendment, but an
exclusive grant of power to the
Congress, which directly and by im-
‘ﬁlication confers control over the
labor and education of all persons
under eighteen to an extent not
now possessed by any State of the

Union.

In the Name of Child Labor, What Is This?

Shall We Approve of Proposed Twentieth Amendment to U. S. Constitution?

By STANLEY M. POWELL

(Lansing Correspondent of The Business Farmer.)

merit further study and investiga-
tion. The Supreme Court having
twice declared unconstitutional fed—
eral “child labor” laws, Congress
now seeks to have conferred upon
itself powers which no state has ev-
er presumed to exercise over its
own citizens, for it is not open to
dispute that no state possesses the
power to prohibit the labor of all
persons under 17, much less under
18 years of age.

The power to prohibit carries
much more than the right to pre-
vent the acceptance of employment.
It includes of necessity the author—
ity to ﬁx the conditions under which
any person under eighteen may be
permitted to engage in any occupa-
tion. It necessarily includes the
power to say to such persons what
hours they may work and at what
employment, the wages which must
be paid, the education or training
preliminary to work.

It has been said that the proposed
amendment does not contemplate
the early enactment of legislation
aimed at the control of farm labor.
This gratuitous assumption respect-
ing future regulation is met not
only by the fact that Congress is to
be granted exclusive control over
the labor of all persons under 18
years on the farm and elsewhere,
even to the point of prohibition
against any direction or request of
the parent, but most signiﬁcant,
every effort to exclude horticulture
or agriculture, or any form of out-
door work, from the terms of the
amendment was opposed and de-
feated by its proponents. Moreov—
er, the National Child Labor Com—
mittee, the chief proponent of the
amendment, distributed to every
Congressman prior to the vote on
the proposal, booklets which carry
the plain implication that labor up—
on the farm now needs legislative
attention.

The pamphlet points out that,
under-the census of 1920, 647,309
boys and girls between 10 and 15
years of age inclusive are engaged in
agricultural pursuits. Again, the
booklet states “agriculture” is the
only important ﬁeld of work entirely
uncontrolled “by legislation". Again,
“the South, because of its agricul-
tural character, still leads in child
laborers. " and “investigation shows
that there are many of these at
work in eugarbeet fields, cranberry

bogs, cotton plantations and other
agricultural pursuits throughout the
country.”

The ﬁgures of the Federal census
for 1920 show that 88 per cent of
those under 16 who are partially or
occasionally, as well as constantly,
employed at any farm task, reside
in the home, and work they perform
is on the farm of their parents. Is
it to be conclusively presumed, that
Federal legislation and a Federal
bureau is essential to protect suc
children against their parents? On
the day Calvin Coolidge became
President of the United States his
14—year-old son received $3.50 for
his labor in a neighbor’s tobacco
ﬁeld.

Of course, we would be the last to
approve or countenance undesirable
employment conditions for the
youth of this or any other state, but
an impartial survey of the situation
shows that this matter of child labor
is being quite well taken care of by
the several states. Perhaps, this is
being done just as efﬁciently and no
doubt more cheaply and intelligent~
1y than would result were this mat-
ter in the hands of a far-off super-
bureaucracy at Washington.

Progress of State Regulation

Have the states been neglectful of
their great obligation in regard to
the control of child labor? Let the
record of their action in the decade
from 1910 to 1920 provide the an-
swer, and let the recapitulation be
made, not by a biased critic, but by
the Children’s Bureau of the Depart-
ment of Labor.

“The census of 1920 records a
considerable decrease since 1910
in the number of children reported

at work. Although the total child
population 10 to 15 years of age,
inclusive, increased 15.5 per cent

during this period, the number of
working children reported decreas-
ed almost half (46.7 per cent). A
corresponding decrease took place in
the proportion of all children of
these ages who are employed in
gainful occupations from 18.4 per
cent in 1910 to 8.5 per cent in
1920.” (Child Labor in U. S. 1924,
Children’s Bureau Pub. 114, p. 9.)

In other words, the census of
1920 discloses 1,500,000 more
children between 10 and 16 than in
1910, but 900,000 fewer at work:

Again the Children's Bureau in-
forms us:

Motorist Pays Quarter of Cent a Mile

O‘TORIS’IB of the country pay
in the form of gasoline taxes
and registration fees an aver-

age of only a quarter of a cent a
mile according to the Bureau of
Public Roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture.

That is what the fees paid in a
year amount to when divided by 6,-
000 which is believed to be the aver-
age motorist's annual mileage. The
average license fee per mile travell-
ed is one-ﬂfth of a cent and the gas-
oline taxes paid make up the differ-
ence of one-twenty—ﬁfth of a cent.

The motorist or truck operator is
assured of a good return from the
taxes he‘pays since the receipts are
very largely devoted to road con—
struction and maintenance. In 1923,

' 81 per cent' of the motor vehicle 1i-

cense revenues and 58 per cent of
the gasoline taxes were turned over
to the state highway departments
for expenditure under their super-
vision and a considerable portion of
the remainder was expended by the
counties for road nmoees.

Consideration of the gasoline tax
is of special interest to the motor
vehicle operator. Thirty-ﬁve states
now have this form of tax, the rates
ranging from one to three cents
with the exception of one state
which has a four cent tax. A one
cent gasoline tax increases the cost
of operating the average vehicle by
less than a tenth of a cent per mile.
On a trip from Washington to Phila—
delphia the tax would amount to
10 cents. The trip over the Lincoln
Highway from New York to San
Francisco would be taxed $2.50. It
it interesting to compare these
rates with the toll charges which
motorists formerly had to pay on
toll roads. On six different turn-
pikes in Virginia and Maryland tolls
amounting to $5.05 were charged
for a total of 187 miles which is
equivalent to 2.7 cents a mile. If a
state attempted to charge this same
rate for the use of the public high-
ways by automobiles it would have
to establish a gasoline tax of 36
cents per gallon

 

“State standards relating to the
employment of children where also
raised in a number of States during
this period. Laws ﬁxing the mini-
mum age for going to work were
strengthened in at least one-half the
States, either by raising the age or
by increasing the number of occupa-
tions .to which the law applied, or
in both ways. In many States these
measures were supplemented and
the number of child workers conse—
quently reduced by raising the edu-
cational, physical, or other require-
ments which a child must meet be—
fore being permitted to go to work.
The number of States ﬁxing a maxi-
mum working day of eight hours
for children under 16 in any consid-
erable number of occupations in-
creased from 7 to 28, and the
number of those having no prohibi-
tion of night work of such children
fell from 23 to 7 during the decade.
The possibility of adequate enforce-
ment of these various regulations
was increased by both legislative
and administrative action. More-
over, the standards of compulsory
education laws were generally rais-
ed so that fewer children could
leave school for work. "* A new
type of legislation, providing for
the part-time education of employed
children during their working
hours, was passed during the de-
cade in 22 states.”

While we all agree that too long
hours of arduous toil which inter-
fere with the child’s proper mental
and physical growth and education,
is indefensible and should not be
tolerated, we may well guard
against going too far in the other
extreme and forbidding all useful
employment until our young men
and young women are 18 years of
age.

As William Godfrey of Winthrop,
Maine, says, writing in the new
England Homestead:

“Of all the fool stuﬂ.’ called legis-
lation that I have ever heard of, the
proposed 20th amendment to the
national constitution takes the cake.
A ﬁne thing when parents have
brought children into the world and
are going to no end of trouble and
expense trying to raise them into re-
spectable manhood and womanhood
of whom their country may be
proud, for Congress to step in and
say they shall not do any work——
that to help father and mother is a
crime and a curse to children and
country!"

The Woman Patriot, Washington.
D. 0., adds:

"The youth of the Nation up to
18 years would be outrageously
wronged by national prohibitions of
the right to work for their parents
or for their owu self-support and
higher education.”

Another interesting phase of the
problem is brought out in the fol-
lowing quotation from the New
York Commercial:

“A nurse in the home of one of
those Chicago youths who murdered
the Franks boy says that until he
was fourteen years old he did not
even lace his own shoes. He was
pampered and petted and made to
think that his mission in life was to
have other people do things for
him. He is credited with being a
brilliant student in college, but a
moral idiot.

“We cite the foregoing statement
of the nurse to call attention to the
fact that the greatest danger con-
fronting the young people of this
country today is idleness and spend-

money unearned. And yet there
is a widespread belief in the wisdom
of amending the Constitution of the
United States after a manner to per-
mit any state to legislate ‘no work’.

I made arrangements to go with the
American Agricultural Editors As-
sociation on their convention trip—-
“to study agricultural conditions in
Europe.” Just the thing.

I would go with the editors and
I would study agricultural condi—
tions. The situation was a little dif-
ferent from the original plan. In-
stead of having one tried but tested
partner I would have a dozen or
more; instead of going over second,

that, as it actual-
ly turned out, I’m
afraid the study of agriculture suf-
fered and I spent more time visiting
with Pat and Niels and having a
good time with the folks by the side
of the road.

To go abroad! To cross the ocean!
To go to Europe and see those fam—
ous old places of history, literature
and war, the land which everyone
dreams of visiting some day. To see
London, mighty London, Paris and
Berlin; to see the strange people of
the old world and not on the movie
screen, to eat in their restaurants,
to wonder at their languages, and to
watch them at work and play.

The night after my passport ar-
rived from Washington, bravely
marked “All Countries”, I dreamed
that William Tell sailed out of

First, and last, impressions are al-
ways the most important. In order

of importance perhaps ﬁrst impress—V

ions come ﬁrst, but last impreSsionsjt

are the more lasting after all.

My ﬁrst impression of Europe was a

foreshadowed and perhaps a bit dim-
med by three last and powerful im-
pressions of America and her great-
ness which I received just before
reaching England. They were Ni-
agara Falls, New York City, and the
United States Ship Leviathan.

On the train coming into New
York with me were two aspirants
for the American Olympic team on
their way to the ﬁnal tryouts in Bos-
ton. They were from my home town
and neither had ever been in New
York City before. My old partner,
Jim Wilson, was at the Grand Cen—
tral Station when we arrived about
six o’clock and we decided to spend
the rest of the evening seeing the
city. Apparently our decision was
also the “Judgement of the ten mil-
lion” for there seemed to be that
many doing the same thing.

First, we must eat and since most
of the biggest cabarets had been
closed and padlocked just previously
for alleged violation of the alleged
liquor laws, we naturally went to
the next most typically New York
eating place, an Automat.

“Reminds me of the old home—
stead days, Jim/{Icouldn’t help ob-
serving when I saw the people sit—
ting at the little tables with their
hats on, eating only what they could
carry in their hands. But I didn’t
have time to continue insulting the
New Yorker with any more such
odious comparisons to provincial
Wyoming homesteaders, for the
mechanics of getting our supper de-
manded full attention.

Three sides of the big room looked
like the little windowed letter boxes
in a post ofﬁce lobby, except that in-
stead of bills and monthly state—
ments inside there reposed bowls of
steaming hot soup, beefstakes, little
plates of mashed potatoes, salads,
and everything to eat. Instead of
turning the knobs, a nicklc is the
combination that unlocks the door,
and the rest is up to you.

Red Layton, the big Olympic
hurdler from Nebraska’s barnyards,
eased up to the milk spout with his
empty glass and ask the man ahead
to “Hist’.”

“You’ve got to put a nickle in
that cow, Red,” we told him, and
the impolite New Yorkers laughed.

Red inserted his nickel and the
milk ﬂowed into his glass. .lt rose
rapidly to the top—and there seem-
ed to be no way to shut it offl. “So,
boss, so there, Whoa!”.Red yelled in
his desperation, but just before” it.

CAN CAIJILSPECIAL MEETING

At our last school meeting the
vote carried that we add eleventh
and twelfth grades to our school
and remodel school building by re-
moving certain partition to meet
the requirements. Now we ﬁnd that
by removing partition the building
would be seriously weakened.
Would it be in order to call special
meeting to reconsider the vote!!—
C. H., Riverdale, Mich.

HE statute with reference to the
T establishment of a high school

is found in Section 5736, page
61, General School Laws for 1923.
The second paragraph reads in part
as follows:

“It shall be the duty of the board
of education in any graded school
district to establish in such district
8. high school when directed by a
vote of the district at any annual or
special meeting ‘ " ‘."

A district can reconsider a vote
of this kind at a special meeting
called for that purpose.—B. J.
Ford, Asst. Supt. of Public Instruc-
tion.

 

WATER RUNS ONTO FARM
FROM ROAD

I would like to know if in build-
ing a new state road (Federal Aid)
they have the right to change the
course of water that before the road
was graded ran in a ditch along side
of the road, to cause it to run on my
land and injuring the best ﬁeld I
have?—H. S. F., Tipton, Michigan.

HIS is a good illustration of that
T class of inquiries concerning

no definite advice can be given.
The general rule is undisputed and
not even the public authority has
any power to engage in any work,
the result of which will throw more
water upon land than would ﬂow
there in a state of nature, without
compensating the land owner. To
attempt to decide any given case,
however, would necessitate a sur-
vey of the lands in question and the
answer is wholly dependent upon

expert engineering testimony—H.
Victor Spike, Assistant Attorney
General.

eran, in 1869 said husband gets kill-
ed, in 1890 woman remarries, second
husband dies, also a. third and the
fourth and last husband left her and
has a divorce now. Under the pres-
ent law is this lady entitled to a
pension? If so would you refer me
to a good reliable man to go after
it for her. Lady is 74 years old
and needy. Have been a reader of
your best paper in Michigan for 5
or 6 years. Hence come to you for
help—W. R. S., Mesick, Mich.

HE widow would be entitled to
make application for pension

band for no fault of hers.

I know of no one in your district
to take care of this matter for you.

of it.——Asst. Legal Editor.

STORAGE BATTF”V ON A
2-VOLT TUBE

HOSE of you who have been us-

ing the WD-ll or 12 tubes with

dry batteries and are fortun-
ate enough to have a 6-volt storage
battery, can use the storage battery
for your 1% or 2—volt tubes.

All you have to do is to connect
onto one cell at a time and after
using one of the 3 cells for a few
days, change over to the next cell
for the same length of time and
then change again to the last cell.
repeating this again and again. In
this way your battery is run down
uniformly and can be used without
injuring it in any way. A hydro-
meter for testing each cell is useful
and will absolutely insure that you
do not use one cell more than the
other.

The 2 volt WD—12 tubes only use
1,4 amper and will run for many
hours on a single cell of a storage
battery, nor will you have the
noises that are common with the
use of worn out dry cell batteries.

RADIO EQUIPMENT GIVEN

ADIO station WKAR, Michigan
Agricultural College, East
Lansing, will soon join the

ranks of the best broadcasting sta-
tions in this country, thanks to the
Detroit News and James H. Foote, a
graduate of the college with the
class of 1914. Not long ago the De-
troit News installed new equipment
in its station WJ and it turned its
used apparatus over to the M. A. C.
All of it was in good condition. Mr.
Foote. new manager of the Jackson
oﬂice of the Consumers Power Com-
pany, presented the college station
with four steel towers. ' Three of
the towers will be placed on the
roof of the woodshops and a triang-
ular base will be made for the
fourth. This will give a total
heighth of 150 feet, providing
splendid broadcasting facilities.

MORE FARMERS USING RADIO
APID increase in the use of
radio on farms during the past
year is shown in a special sur-

vey made by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. It is esti-
mated that there are now more than
870,000 radio sets in use on farm
as compared with 145,000 a year
ago. .
The survey was made among
county agricultural agents. Reports
from 833 county agents placed the
awegate number of radio sets ,in

their counties at 108,710. or an av“-

tural counties in the United States

country as a whole compared with
a similar estimate of 145.350 sets a

The radio market news service of -

the United States Department of

idly during the past three years un-
til now it is possible for farmers in
practically all parts of the country

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
INCOME TAX. AMENDMENT
EAR Mr. Editor.——On behalf of

the farm organizations of Michi-
gan, and the Michigan Feder-
ation of Labor, all of which have of-

ﬁcially endorsed the Income T x

amendment and by whose activi es

over twice the necessary signers
were secured to put the proposition
on the ballot on November 4th., we
are going to ask you to print this

. communication in full that such of

your readers as have not already
done so. may become familiar with
the provisions of the Amendment
and the arguments for its adoption.

We do not command millions as
does a metropolitan trust company

' which is placing thousands of dollars

worth of paid advertising «together
with editorial suggestions in opposi-
tion to this Amendment. We ask
you, as a fair minded citizen, to pub-
lish this article which represents the
opinion of many of your readers in
the spirit of fair play and justice.
And along with the paid advertising
of the few we believe should be
printed the opinions of the many.
Copy of the Amendment:

Section 3. The Legislature shall
provide by law a uniform rule of
taxation, except on property paying
speciﬁc taxes, and taxes shall be lev-
ied on such property as shall be
prescribed by law. The legislature
shall provide by law a scheme of
taxes upon the net gains, proﬁts and
incomes of all citizens and inhabit-
ants of this State, from whatever
source .said gains, proﬁts and in-
comes are derived which tax shall
he graduated and progressive as
follows:

There shall be an exemption of
$4,000 per annum of all incomes.

Incomes of from $4,000 to $20,-
000 per annum shall be taxed at the
rate of 5 per centum.

All incomes above $20,000 up to
and including $40,000, shall be
taxed at the rate of 6 per centum.

A11 incomes above $40,000 up to
and including $60,000, shall be taxe
at the rate of 7 per centum. '

All incomes above $60,000 up to
and including $80,000, shall be taxed
at the rate of 8 per centum.

All incomes above $80,000 up to
and' including $100,000, shall be
taxed at the rate of 9 per centum.

All incomes above $100,000 shall
be taxed at the rate of 10 per
centum.

The Income Tax Law, herein au-
thorized shall be administered by a
Board of State Tax commissioners.

All monies paid to a Board of
State Tax Commissioners under the
provisions of this Amendment shall
be paid into the State Treasury and
shall then be credited to the general
fund of the State, and shall be used
for defraying the general expenses
of the State Government and for
the payment of principal and interest
on State Bonds.

On or before the ﬁrst day of Sep—
tember of each year, the Auditor
General shall deduct from the total

amount directed by the Legislature-

to be included in the State Tax, for
that year, the amount of money re—
ceived under the provisions of this
amendment and credited to the gen-
eral fund of the State for the cur-
rent year and the balance if any
shall be deemed to constitute the
State Tax to be apportioned among
the various counties of the state in
accordance with the provisions of
the general tax law.

Real estate constitutes 35 per cent
of the wealth of this State and in
equity should pay 35 per cent of
the taxes.

It pays 80 per cent of the taxes.

Thus do we penalize the home owner '

in city or country. Our home own-
ing citizenship is an asset of tre-
mendous value and should not be
discouraged by an unjust levy. A
carefully planned assault on our
home owners could not be more ef-
fective in discouraging real estate
ownership than our present taxation
system is.

Only those with net incomes of
over four thousand a year will have
any income, tax to pay. Anyone in
that class can stand a. small increase
of their tax and deprive no member
of their family of any essential. No
one without a. good high .class liv»
ing anywhere in Michigan will be

 

taxed a cent under the" provisions of
this Amendment. ‘

By the Federal Income Tax re—_

turns, we learn that there are 33,000
people in/‘Michigan in the fortunate
class who will be called upon to pay
under the terms of this Amendment.
Their net'incomes as sworn to by
themselves was over 331 million dol-
are. '

Their annual payment to the Gov-
ernment is over thirty-ﬁve million.
As far as known none have ever left
the country on that account.

Under the terms of the proposed
Amendment, they will pay the State
which furnishes them their oppor-
tunity, twelve millions annually.
Surely no dieester lea rmlted to
the Government or to them in tak-
ing the 36 million. Is twelve million
to the State an unfair proposition?

Not a dollar of the tax from any

one who has not averaged eleven
dollars a. day not for every day in
the year. The result twelve million
off of sorely burdened real estate.
This is a. condensed statement of the
case as any one who carefully reads
the Amendment will see. Of course,
the owners of sixty-ﬁve per cent of
the property who now pay 20 per
cent of the taxes will not quietly
submit to this levy, absolutely right-
eous as the proposition is. They
have enjoyed the milk fresh from the
cow so long that anything approxi-
mating average pasture looks dis—
tasteful. They will unlimber their
heaviest artillery but keep the real
issue clear in mind, which is the in—
troduction of a system of taxation
based an ability to pay.

AlWays keep in mind that every
principle involved is an old one and
that an Income Tax never resulted in
conﬁscation of property or compelled
anyone to draw on their principle to
pay their taxes.

The objectors outline the dire re-
sults but their objections are abso-
lutely without foundation. They ob-
ject to the proposition being in the
Constitution because they know that
the ople will not trust the legisla-

e to work out the terms of an In—
come Tax. The people refused this
bya tremendous vote two years ago
so when they object to the Constitu-
tional provisions, they object to the
only possible avenue to an Income
Tax. Also they knew they cannot
jockey the proposition or make it
ridiculous as would be possible were
it left to the mercies of the legisla—
ture.

The objectors say we are ”soak-
ing the rich”. No, we are trying
to get away from soaking anybody by
introducing the principle of taxing
on ability to pay.

If the larger per cent of the people
receiving eleven dollars per day live
in the cities, that is their good luck.
It absolutely is not class legislation.
Men in every class would be assessed
Income Tax but it. would be the man
who has been unusually successful
the year the assessment was made
and is in a position to pay from the
proﬁt of that year. The beneﬁts ac—
crue to real estate everywhere, city
or country. The objectors say they
can ”pass it on".

The Amendment provides for a
personal Income Tax and that is a.
very diﬂicult tax to “pass on". In
fact, experience proves that it is not
passed on. If it could be passed on,
the objectors would be far less ac-
tive. This is not a corporation tax.
If it were, it could be passed on.

Other objections are raised with
a view of constructing a smoke
screen but we are not going to tree-
pass further on the good and gen-
erousness of the Editor of this paper
whom we are asking to give us this
space.

All the sponsors of this Imend-
ment ask is a careful, thoughtful,
understanding reading of the Amend-
ment by the voters. If, after that,
with the condition understood and,
the avenue for material relief open,
a majority vote to continue real
estate in its present intolerable
position, we submit.

However, we anticipate that the
voters will avail themselves of the
opportunity of correcting a grave in-
justice inﬁicted byfjour taxation sys~

’Added Strength and safety 7
With All—Steel Bodies

Overland has adopted all-steel
bodies on open and closed models
alike. ,Steel provides far greater
strength and safety than wood.
Steel outlives wood many times

over. Steel is 30 times stronger
than wood.

Most motor car bodies are skele-
tons of wood with thin sheets of
steel nailed outside. Overland
is all-steel—a frame of steel cov-
ered with steel—welded into one-
piece solidity. Only an all-steel
body can take a baked enamel
ﬁnish. In ovens that would char
wood, Overland’s ﬁnish is baked
into the very body itself—a, ﬁnish
that deﬁes mud and dust, heat

The new all-steel Overland pos-
sesses all the famous Overland
qualities—big power, reliability,

All the Overland economy—in
gas, oil, tires,. fewer repairs and
slower depreciation. All the
virtues that have made Overland
known everywhere as “the most

automobile in the world for the

“TANE, Jane, Maggie’s met him!”
cried, breathlessly bursting into
kitchen where Jane was paring

apples that she would not trust to

maid’s more wasteful knife.

“Met him! Met who?”

“Mr. Fulton. She’s talked with him!
She wrote me all about it.”

“Our Mr. Fulton?”

llYeS.’)

“Flora!” With a hasty twirl of a now
reckless knife, Jane ﬁnished the last ap—
ple, set the, pan on the table before the
maid and hurried her visitor into the liv-
ing—room. ”Now, tell me quick—«what
did she say? Is he nice? Did she like
him? Did he know she belonged to us?”

"Yes—yes—everything.” nodded Miss
Flora, sinking into a chair. “She liked
him real well, she said, and he knows
all about that she belongs to us. She
said he was real interested in us. Oh.
I hope she didn’t tell him about—Fred!”

“And that awful gold-mine stock,”
moaned Jane. “But she wouldn’t—I know
she wouldn’t!"

“Of course she wouldn’t,” cried Miss
Flora. “’Tisn’t like Maggie one bit!
She’d only tell the nice things, I’m sure.
And, of course, she’d tell him how pleased
we were with the money!”

“Yes, of course, of course. And to
think she’s met him—really met him !”
breathed Jane. "Mellicentl” she turned an
excited face to her daughter, who had
just entered the room. “What do you
think? Aunt Flora’s just had a letter
from Aunt Maggie, and she’s met Mr.
Fulton—actually talked with him !"

“Really? Oh, how perfectly splendid!
Is he nice? Did she like him?”

Miss Flora laughed.

“That’s just what your mother asked.
Yes, he’s real nice, your Aunt Maggie
says, and she likes him very much.”

“But how’d she do it? How’d she hap-
pen to meet him?” demanded Jane.

“Well, it seems he knew Mr. Tyndall,
and Mr. Tyndall brought him home one
night and introduced him to his wife and
Maggie; and since then he’s been very
nice to them. He’s taken them out in
his automobile, and taken them to the
theatre twice.”

“That’s because she belongs to us, of
course," nodded Jane wisely.

“Yes, I suppose so," agreed Flora.
"And I think it’s very kind of him.”

"Pooh!" sniffed Mellicent airily. “I
think he does it because he wants to.
You never did appreciate Aunt Maggie.
I’ll warrant she's nicer and sweeter and
—and, yes, prettier than lots of those
old Chicago women. Aunt Maggie looked
positively handsome that day she left

she
the
the
the

here last July. She looked so—so ab-
solutely happy! Probably he likes to
take her to places. Anyhow, I’m glada

she’s having one good time before she
dies.”

“Yes, so am I, my dear. We all are,"
sighed Miss Flora. “Poor Maggie l”

. “I only wish he’d marry her and—and
give her a. good time all her life,” avowed
Mellicent, lifting her chin.

“Marry her!" exclaimed two scornful
voices.

“Well, why not? She’s good enough
for him,” bridled Mellicent. “Aunt Mag—
gie’s good enough for anybody!"

“Of course she is!” laughed Miss Flora.
“Maggie’s a saint—if evor there was one."

“Yes, but I shouldn’t call her a marry-
ing saint,” smiled Jane.

“Well, I don’t know about that,"
frowned Miss Flora thoughtfully. “Hat-
tie always declared there’d be a match
between her and Mr. Smith, you know.”

“Yes. But there wasn’t one, was there?"
twitted Jane. “Well, then, I shall stick‘
to my original statement that Maggie
Duff isla saint, all right, but not 8. mar-
rying one—unless some one marries her
now for her money, of course.”

“As if Aunt Maggie’d stand for that!”
scoffed Mellicent. "Besides, she wouldn’t
have to! Aunt Maggie’s good enough to
be varried for herself.”

“There, there, child, just because you
are a lovesick little piece of romance just
now, you needn't think everybody else is,”
her mother reproved her a little sharply.

But Mellicent only laughed merrily as
she disappeared into her own room.

“Speaking of Mr. Smith, I wonder
where he is, and if he’ll ever come back
here,” mused Miss Flora, aloud. “I wish
he would. He was a very nice man, and
I liked him.”

“Goodness, Flora, you aren't getting
romantic, too, are you?” teased her sister-
in-law. ,

“Nonsense, Jane!" ejaculated Miss
Flora sharply, *buttoning up her coat.
“I’m no more romantic than—than poor
Maggie herself is!”

Two weeks later, to a day, came Miss
Maggie's letter announcing her engage~
ment to Mr. Stanley G. Fulton, and say-
ing that she was to be married in Chi-
cago before Christmas.

CHAPTER XXVI
Reenter Mr. Stanley G. Fulton

In the library of Mrs. Thomas Tyn-
dall’s Chicago home Mr. Stanley G. Ful-
ton was impatiently awaiting the appear-
ance of Miss Maggie Duff. In a minute
she came in, looking charmingly youthful
in her new well-ﬁtting frock.

The man, quickly on his feet at her
entrance, gave her a lover's ardent kiss;
but almost instantly he held her off at
arm’s length.

“Why, dearest, what’s the matter?" he
demanded.

“W-what do you mean?"

“You look as if—if something had hap-
pened—not exactly a bad something, but
— What is it?"

Miss Maggie laughed softly.

“That’s one of the very nicest things
about you, Mr. Stanley-G.—Fulton-John-
Smith," she sighed, nestling comfortably
into the curve of his arm, as they sat down
on the dvian ;—“that you notice things so.
And it seems so good to me to have some-
body—notice.”

“Poor lonely little woman! And to
think of all these years I’ve wasted!”

“Oh, but I shan't be lonely any more
now. And, listen—I’ll tell you what made
me look so funny. I’ve had a letter
from Flora. You know I wrote them——
about my coming marriage.”

“Yes, yes,” eagerly. “Well,
they say?”

Miss Maggie laughed again.

“I believo—J'll let you read the letter
for yourself, Stanley. It tells some things,
toward the end, that I think you’ll like
to know,” she said, a little hesitatingly,
as she held out the letter she had brought
into the room with her.

“Good! I’d like to read it,” cried Ful-
ton, whisking the closely written sheets
from the envelope.

“My dear Maggie" (Flora had written):

Well mercy me, you have given us a
surprise this time. and no mistake!
we're all real glad, Maggie, and hope
you’ll be awfully happy. You deserve it,
all right. Poor Maggie! You’ve had such
an awfully hard time all your life!

“Well, when your letter came, we were
just going out to Jim's for an old-fash-
ioned Thanksgiving dinner, so I took it
along with me and read it to them all.
I kept it till we were all together, too,
though I most bursted with the news all
the way out.

"Well, you ought to have heard their
tongues wag! They were all struck dumb
ﬁrst, for a minute, all except Mellicent.
She spoke up the ﬁrst thing, and clapped
her hands.

“There!” she cried. "What did I tell
you? I knew Aunt Maggie was good
enough for anybody !”

“To explain that I’ll have to go back a
little. We were talking one day about
you—Jane and Mellicent and me—-——and
we said you were a saint, only not a
marrying saint. But Mellicent thought
you were, and it seems she was right.
Oh, of course, we’d all thought once. Mr.
Smith might take a fancy to you, but
we never dreamed of such a thing as
this—Mr. Stanley G. Fulton! Sakes alive
—-I can hardly sense it yet!

"Jane, for a minute, forgot how rich
he was, and spoke right up real quick—
"It's for her money, of course. I knew
some one would marry her for that ﬁfty
thousand dollars!" But. she laughed
then right off, with the rest of us, at the
idea of a man worth twenty millions
marrying anybody for ﬁfty thousand
dollars.

Benny says there ain't any man alive

Yet '

a,

 

know she always did insist we were going

to have the rest of that money it he ‘

didn’t show up. But she told me Just
Thanksgiving Day that she didn't know
but ’twas just as well, after all, that
they didn’t have the money, for maybe
Fred’d go wrong again, or it would strike
Benny this time. Anyhow, however much
money she had, she said, she’d never let
her children spend so much again, and
she’d found out money didn’t bring hap-
piness, always, anyway.

“Mellicent and Donald' are going to be
married next summer. Donald don’t get
a very big salary yet, but Mellicent says
she won’t mind a bit going back to econ-
omizing again, now that for once she’s
had all the chocolates and pink dresses
she wanted. What a funny girl she is—
but she's a dear girl, just the same, and
she’s settled down real sensible now.
She and Donald are as happy as can be,
and even Jane likes Donald real well
now. Jane’s gone back to her tidies
and aprons and skimping on everything.
She says she’s got to, to make up that
forty thousand dollars. But she enjoys
it, I believe. Honestly, she acts 'most
as happy trying to save ﬁve cents as
Frank does earning it in his old place
behind the counter. And that’s saying a.
whole lot, as you know. Jane knows
very well she doesn’t have to pinch that
way. They’ve got lots of the money left,
and Frank’s business is better than ever.
But she just likes to.

“You complain because I don’t tell you
anything about myself in my letters, but
there isn’t anything to tell. I am well
and happy, and I’ve just thought up the
nicest thing to do. Mary Hicks came

good enough for his Aunt Maggie, so if
Mr. Fulton gets to being too high headed
sometimes, you can tell him what Benny
says.

"But we’re all real pleased, honestly,
Maggie, and of course we’re terribly ex-
cited. We’re sorry you’re going to be
married out there in Chicago. Why can’t
you make him come to Hillerton? Jane
says she’d be glad to make a real nice
wedding for you—and when Jane says a
thing like that, you know how much
she's really saying, for Jane’s feeling
awfully poor these days, since they lost
all that money you know. .

And we’d all like to see Mr. Fulton,
too—“Cousin Stanley,” as Hattie always
calls him. Please give him our congratu-
lations—but there, that sounds funny,
doesn’t it? (But the etiquette editors in
the magazines say we must always give
best wishes to the bride and congratula—
tions to the groom.) Only it seems funny
here, to congratulate that rich Mr. Ful-
ton on marrying. Oh, dear! I didn’t
mean it that way, Maggie. I declare,
if that sentence wasn’t way in the middle
of this third page, and so awfully hard
for me to write, anyway, I’d tear up this
sheet and begin another. But, after all,
you'll understand, I’m sure. You know
we all think the world of you, Maggie,
and that I didn’t mean anything against
you. It’s just that—that Mr. Fulton is
——is such a big man, and all— But you
know What I meant.

"Well, anyway, if you can't come here to
be married, we hope you’ll bring him here
soon so we can see him', and see you,
too. We miss you awfully, Magma——
we do, especially since Jim’s folks went,
and with Mr. Smith gone, too, Jane and
I are real lonesome.

"Jim and Hattie like it real well where
they are. They’ve got a real pretty
home, and they’re the biggest folks in
town, so Hattie doesn’t have to worry
for fear she won’t live quite so ﬁne as
her neighbors—~though really I think
Hattie’s got over that now a good “deal.
That awful thing of Fred’s sobered her
a lot, and taught her who her real friends
were, and that money ain’t everything.

”Fred is doing splendidly now, just as
steady as a clock. It does my soul good
to see him and his father together. They
are just like chums. And- Bessie—she
isn’t near so, disagreeable and airy as
she was. Hattie took her out or that
school and put her into another where

. she's getting some real iearningand less,
society and frills anddancing. Jim is.

and I think Hattio's real

doing well,
when We first

happy. Oh, of course,

heard that Mr; Fulton" had got back, I »
thing shewas kind of disappointed. 'You;

 

and she’s been here at my house ever
since. Her own home ain’t no place for
a sick person, you know, with all those
children, and they’re awfully poor, too.
So I took her here with me. She’s a
real nice girl. She .works in a depart-
ment store and was all played out, but
she’s picked up wonderfully here and is
going back next week.

“Well, she was telling me about a girl
that works with her at the same counter,
and saying how she wished she had a
place like this to go to for a rest and
change, so I‘m going to do it—give them
one, I mean, she and the other girls.
Mary says there are a dozen girls that
she knows right there that are half-sick,
but would get well in a minute if. they
only had a few weeks of rest and quiet
and good food. So I'm going to take
them, two at a time, so they’ll be com—
pany for each other. Mary is going to
ﬁx it up for me down there, and pick out
the girls, and she says she knows the
man who owns the store will be glad
to let them off, for they are all good help,
and he’s been afraid he’d lose them.
He’d offered them a month off, besides
their vacation, but they couldn’t take it,
because they didn’t have any place to go
or money to pay. Of course, that part
will be all right now. And I‘m so glad
and ,excited I don’t know what to do.
Oh, I do hope you’ll tell Mr. Fulton
some time how happy he’s made me,
and how perfectly splnedid that money’s
been for me.

“Well, Maggie, this is a long letter, and
I must close. Tell me all about the new
clothes you are getting, and I hope you
will get a lot. Lovingly yours,

Flora.
'P. S. Does Mr. Fulton look like his
pictures? You know I’ve got one. F.
P. S. again. Maggie Duff, for pity’s

sake, never, never, tell that man that I
ever went into mourning for him and put
ﬂowers before his picture. I’d be morti-
fied to death!”

“Bless her heart!” With a smile Mr.
Fulton folded the letter and handed it
back to Miss Maggie.

”I didn’t feel that I was betraying
conﬁdences—under the circumstances,"
murmured Miss Maggie.

"Hardly!”

“And there was a good deal in the
letter that I did want you to see," added
Miss Maggie.

“Hm-m; the congratulations,
thing, of course,"
“Poor Maggie !”.

“I wanted you to see how really, in

for one
twinkled the man.

much harm.- after all,” asserted Miss

WHEAT STILL SOARING

HOSE calamity bowlers who have been label-
ing the spectacular rise in wheat prices this
fall as Republican campaign propaganda

wiB soon have to ﬁnd a new subject. Within the
past seven days, wheat jumped more than twenty
cents a bushel, reached $1.51 on the Chicago
market, and still reached no higher proportionate
prices than were being offered in Winnipeg,
Canada and London, England.

It is our opinion that no political party or
group of ﬁnanciers have the means, if they had
the inclination, to so greatly inﬂate the world
price of the greatest single staple food com-
modity.

The present price of wheat is directly respons-
ible to only one cause and that is: A short
world crop. There are other inﬂuences which
have tended to raise it, such as the more staple
condition of Germany's money, which makes her
an important buyer again of white ﬂour,.but the
fundamental reason is unfavorable growmg con-
ditions in some of the great wheatyproducing
countries.

Never before in times of peace has wheat ever
sold at this price during October! It comes as
a God-send to not only the farmers of the great
northwest who depend almost entirely on wheat,
but to the farmers of states like Michigan, where
the increase in the past seven days will amount
to more than $3,600,000.00.

Where will the price go now?

Who knows? If one did know, he might make
in a single month what it has taken Henry Ford
years to accumulate. But for the individual
farmer a pretty safe rule in marketing is to sell
during the harvest period only part of his pro-
duct, unless conditions beyond his control make
this procedure impossible.

The higher price of wheat is being reﬂected in
other crops, rye having made a spectacular rise
and the prediction is now current that with the
great German market opened there is not nearly
enough rye in this year's worlds crop to supply
the demand and that the high point may not yet
have been even approached. The more favorable
weather through the whole corn belt has weak-
cned somewhat the price of this commodity, but
it is pretty sure to take another rise when the
frosts come.

Altogether the farmers of America are several
hundred millions of dollars better olf than they,
were a year ago at this time and this does not
take into consideration the higher value of their
farm lands because of this very change in their
economic condition.

Well, neighbor, it Was about time we had a
change. wasn't it?

NOTSOGOODINTHECITES

RE are many idle men in Detroit and other
i leading manufacturing cities and they will
probably take less money when they go back

to work.

This means that when you come to buy the
articles which they manufacture you will have
to exchange less of your products than you did
a year ago because then, farm products were

5 selling way below par and city labor was selling”

well above. This year that condition is somewhat
.IW' ' - .’
had yet there were those who preached to us

. Where , . .
their line .of‘reasosing'commence and where does
it ﬁnish?
men would have the farmers support them "in
their demands for a continuation of'high wages,
butwe question whether they would'be any more
aggressive in helping the farmer get a fair price
for his produce than they have in the past four
years. . ,

The farmer does not need to afﬁliate with any
group, either labor or capital. His-problems are
the problems of his neighbors only. And there
are enough neighbors and enough problems, so
that he will not lack for either company or a
place to expend his energies where they will
count!

THE CHILD LABOR LAW

0U will, unless you have given the matter

1 some study, probably be surprised to learn

that the farmer must oppose the child labor

law as it is now proposed, if for no other reason
than his own protection.

The question is not only whether a. child shall
be allowed to work in factory or sweat-shop, but
if the parents themselves shall be allowed to
demand a certain portion of their children's time
to help them in the ﬁelds. This sounds strange
to most of us who have come up through the
school of hard knocks that started way back
when we got up before day-break to milk the
cowa or worked after school until it was dark,
but times do change and we must keep abreast
of them!

In Mr. Stanley Powell's article on page three
of this issue you will ﬁnd some food for thought
and discusion that ought to keep the meetings
of your farm local livened up this fall and winter.
Don't miss it, because the facts it discloses will
probably be as new to you as they were to us.

 

THEY SHALL NOT PASS—UNGUARDED!

UR appeal from this page for better guarding
of the railway crossings in Michigan was

' hardly in the mails, when the news of the
derailing of the Michigan Central express at Battle
Creek, by hitting a stalled automoble was being
heralded by the daily press. .

Had there been a guard at that crossing the
loss of life, the mocking of a train, the tearing
up of track and the stoppage of service on the
main line of our greatest railway system would
have been avoided. Our assumption is, that the
actual loss to the railway from this crossing ac-
cident would have guarded many important cross-
ings for all time.

So it is not only the traveling public—on the
highways, whether by automobile or bus, but the
travelers by rail as well whom we insist are en-
titled to every human precaution for their safety.

We want our readers to send us pictures or
tell us of unguarded crossings in Michigan which
should be protected by one means or another. We
are going to get the cooperation of automobile
clubs, other publications, the farm organizations
and even the railways themeselves to thwart the
appaling loss of life and destruction of property
at our crossings. .

It has been eliminated in England and on the
continent and i. can be here in enlightened
America!

“UNOFFICIAL" STABILIZATION

HE reparations program worked out by the
unofﬁcial committee of experts, and now
agreed upon at the Reparations Conference,

owes its great success to the fact that all the
work done was unoﬁ‘icial and unpolitical.

For months a committee of the- most able
American ﬁnancieres and practical business men
labored in Europe to work out a program to re-
store European stability, but disconnected from
the government of the United States.

International cooperation and application of
business principles had to be employed because
there were divisions of opinion in both political
parties and powerful factions opposed to any par-
ticipation by our country in European affairs.

The reparations program had to be worked
out on ﬁnancial and economic lines, with a plan
so wise, clear, strong and practical that it could
afterwards he put into operation and carried
through over a period of years by any adminis-
tration that might be in power in any of the
countries directly interested.

It so happens that men very prominent in the
Republican and Democratic organizations partici-
pated in this unofﬁcial, non-governmental expert
committee and the agreement reached during the
international conferenceis entitled to the sup-
port of public opinion in all political parties to
bring about the desired economic results.

The biggest men in our country, regardless of
your. are «read. mt-twwuﬂm. of the eco-
nomic life of Europe on ”and business principles

 

Right now, we assume, these gentle?

 

 

  
 

  
  

  

’ [Fake the simple. fact thatEurope‘ bought-‘80

per cent of ourlfarm' exports, making fa‘ market '

for the surplus products of' our farmers, making
business for our ships, railroads and factories-r:
and then realize that that market was destroyed
by the war. '

After the armistice, four years were spent in
ﬁghting over political theories, '
names like the League of Nations and the World
Court,
strife and prejudices and racial antagonismﬁ

The recent London conferences that have ._

reached an agreement on the reparations plan
were not conducted on political lines—the new
labor premier of England presiding, American
statesmen participating without injecting politics;
Germany and France for once burying the hatchet
and all subscribing to the ﬁnal agreement—the
greatest step toward international peace along
business lines that has ever been taken.

Much remains to be done to carry the repar-
ations plan into full effect. Berlin and Paris
advices show a strong desire to work for peace
and friendship between the people of the world.
France and England were about as far apart as
France and Germany and the ﬁrst steps are taken.
for the evacuation of the Ruhr. “Peace hath
her victories no less renowned than war."

 

SOUND FARM PROGRAM

NORTH DAKOTA AGRICULTURAL COL;
LEGE shows that the state has reduced its

grain acreage 2,733,000 acres since 1919,
last year’s total being 8,402,000 acres. The
College survey shows that diversiﬁed farming
has absorbed almost all of the decreased grain
acreage; dairying, hogs, ﬂax, potatoes, corn,
tame hay, food crops. The College reports say
that this is the result of a determined start of
the farmer to better his condition, and that it is
markedly successful. Without national wheat
legislation, the farmers are solving their own
problem of better returns and are doing it on a
business basis rather than on a legislated make-
shift foundation.

 

JUST A com

E confess to a love for a dog, in fact for all

dogs. We like to point out to our friends
that no matter where one may roam on this old
world, he will ﬁnd the dog faithfully following
some human or guarding his property.
‘ .A great cartoonist once drew a picture, in
which man is shown leaving the rest of the an-
imals and jumping over a chasm, to the other
side which is marked “civilization". by his side
and jumping with him is his faithful dog and it
is literally true that the dog can be found the
faithful companion of men from the furthermost
stretches of the attic to the jungles of the
equator.

The following poem pleased me and we are re-
printing it for the beneﬁt of other dog-lovers and
We know there are an overwhelming majority
among our readers:

THE DOG

I’ve never known a dog to wag
His tail in glee he did not feel,
Nor quit his old-time friend, to tag
At some more inﬂuential heel,
The yellowest cur I ever knew
Was to the boy who loved.him, true.

I’ve never known a dog to show
Halfway devotion to his friend,
To seek a kinder man to know
Or richer; but unto the end
The humblest dog I ever knew
Was to the man who loved him true.

I’ve never known a dog to fake
Affection for a present gain,

A false display of love to make
Some little favor to attain,

I've never known a Prince or Spot

That seemed to be what he was not.

But I have known a dog to ﬁght
With all his might to shield his friend,
And whether wrong or whether right
To stick by him unto the end,
And I have known a dog to lick
The hand of him that men would kick.

And I have known a dog to bear
Starvation’s pangs from day to day,

With him who had been glad'to share
His bread and meat along the way.

No dog, however mean or rude,“ ,'

Is guilty of ingratitude. -- ‘ ,-

A GUARANTEE

 

ﬁnd that many individuals, .
in making purchases, do not‘

realize that a guarantee isan
agreement, and that an agreement
must involve two or more persons.
A guarantee not only implies an ob-
ligation on the one side but an obli-
gation also on the side of the pur-
chaser. For example, if a farmer
buys a piece of farm machinery on
a guarantee that his money will be
refunded if he is not satisﬁed and
returns the implement within 30
days, he has no right to claim a re-
fund in 31 days. His obligation,
which is just as enforceable against
him as against the company, is that
he may use the implement for not
more than 30 days if he is to claim
a refund of his money. This ought
to be clearly understood. To ask
for a refund in 31 days on a 30—day
guarantee is merely to ask for gen-
erosity on the part of the seller.

There are two sides to the guaran—

tee.

 

RAISING FOXES FOR. PROFIT

Please give me some information
on fox farming. I would like to
try it if I thought I could make it
pay like some say it will. I want
your advice and opinion as to- how
long they will continue to be in de-
_mand and as high in price as they
are now.—A Subscriber, Genesee
County. ' ’

VEN the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture is at sea
regarding the full facts of fox

farming, and in our own case, we
are trying to make an investigation
for the beneﬁt of our readers.

'There is no question but what
much money has been made the
past few years in this industry, and
answering your question regarding
their hardiness, it is my opinion
that the animals may be insured
against loss of this kind.

My suggestion is that you go and
talk with men who are raising foxes,
and who have purchased from the
larger ranches, then form your own

opinion.
STUDEBAKER COMPANY SELLS
STOCK

 

“The enclosed letter from Col.
Geo. M. Studebaker came to me a
few days ago and looks like fraud
to me. If you wish you might in—
vestigate and state the facts to the
family of business farmers through
your paper.”

' HE Studebaker Brothers, well

manufacturers of the Studebak-
L' er wagon and Studebaker auto-
mobile are owners of the South Bend
Watch Company, South Bend, Indi-
ana. This company sells watches to
all of the jewelers, and as I under—
stand it, the watch is thoroughly
reliable.

A short time ago they decided to
start a mail order business to sell
this watch under the name of Stude-
baker Watch direct to the public,
and their efforts met with success
from the start. They had many re-
quests for diiferent kinds of jewelry,
so they decided to add jewelry as one
of their lines. They did not want

to manufacture them, so decided to -

arrange with some large jobber in
Chicago to supply them, and they
advise they made connections with
some ﬁrm that always has on hand
a stock of around two million dol-
lars. They advise that they are
handling reasonable priced jewelry

and also the most expensive, and that
their business is increasing rapidly.

They have now decided to sell
stock in their company and that is
the reason you received the invita-
tion from Col. Geo. M. Studebaker.

 

ANOTHER LOSER

“I would like to know if you could
help me out a little with a deal which
I had last winter and spring with a
mail order seed house. It is the

'Chicago Wholesale Seed Company.

They wanted me to represent them
in my territory and take orders for
grass seed and in the deal I gave
them my order for clover seed
amounting to some $45.00 and about
$35.00 worth of this seed wasn’t ﬁt
to sow. I had it retested and one
lot was condemned for sale in this
state. I wrote them about it and
they have not made any reply con-
cerning the seed. They owe me
some $9.00 commission and say they
haven’t money enough to pay up all
their debts and want to give note
to run two years at 7 per cent. They
sent me the note to ﬁll out and I
wrote them again to see what they
considered they were owing me and
they have made no answer. I re-
ceived a letter sometime ago from

D. D. Lyons Post Ofﬁce inspector of"

Chicago, Ill., wanting to know if I
had any dealings with this company,
if so to send him all the literature
I had and all the information about
them. I did but have not heard any
more from him. Now if you think
you can get this for me I can give
you the exact ﬁgures of what they
owe me.”

0U are very much “out of luck”
Y as the ofﬁcers of the Chicago

Wholesale Seed Company were
indicted on May 29th, 1924, for us-
ing the mails to defraud farmers and
agents. The principal ofﬁcer is Ed-
win L. Rosenberg, who formerly op~
erated the World Seed Company of
Milwaukee, the St. Louis Seed Com—
pany of St. Louis, Mo., the Lawrence
Seed Company of Kansas City, and
other seed companies at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. He has been in this
business for a number of years, and
the Banks at Milwaukee suffered a
tremendous loss several years ago
because of his manipulations. For
years he has been defrauding farmers
and agents through his seed com-
panies.

 

AGENTS DHSREPRESENT

“Last winter two stock salesmen
came to see me wanting to sell me
some stock in a certain company. I
told them I was not interested and
they said I shouldn't be afraid,
that the stock was then worth $20 a
share and was going up right along.
They induced me to sign for $100
worth of shares telling me I could
buy more later it I wanted to. I
signed a note for the money and
later found that I had signed for
$1,000 worth of shares. When they
sold me the stock they guaranteed
at any time to sell it in 90 days if I
wanted them to and get $30 a
share. Also they were to pay in-
terest and now they will not sell
my stock for me."

OU should see a lawyer at once
because you have a serious
case and you must be able to

prove fraud in court. If the agents
of this company misrepresented in
selling the stock to you and you can
prove it you will not have to pay
for it. You need the services of a
good lawyer immediately.

ceived the amount due me from

By Edgar A. Guest

“Were you a failure today?"
I heard a voice ask. 1

And I hurried to say:

“I completed my task.”

"Not enough, not enough i"
Said the voice speaking low.
"You were overly rough
With a. boy that I know.

"Your work you performed
In a suitable way,

But you raved and you stormed
At a youngster today.

“You were cruelly curt,

And a girl hung her head
And she went away hurt

By the things that you said,

“Did it enter your mind
When they blundered and fell
That you could have been kind
And succeeded as well?

"That day brought its gain
And the task is complete,

But must you give pain
To make victory sweet?

“And what do the boy
And the girl now declare?
Do they praise you with joy,
Or pronounce you unfair?

“You got, as you say,
What you set out to get,
But what of- today?
Is it free from regret?

“You call it success,
But now what of those two?
Do they think more or less
Of a fellow like you?”

Tim. PANTS DIOTTIER MAKES

is the custom among mothers of

growing children to cut down

and make over garments for the
boys and girls. Girls are usually more
easily pleased with a made over gar-
ment than is the little man of the
house. To the small girl a new dress
is a new dress even if it is the result
of careful planning and the best parts
of big sister’s old skirt, but if the
coat or pair of trousers which moth-
er makes does not conform to the
style of the coats and trousers worn
by older members of the family
there will be scowls and expressions
of dissatisfaction every time the
suit is put on.

Somebody with a sense of sym-
pathy has in these lines very aptly
described the small boy’s feelings:

The making of boys’ trousers is
apt really a diﬂicult task if one

hows the right way to go about it.

ceed as follows: After ripping, clean
the cloth by washing or sponging,
Then press un—

Mark exact position of the pocket
opening. Cut two strong pieces of
lining one 5 inches deep and the
other 7 inches deep and each about
1 inch wider than the pocket open-
ing. Make the welt or ﬂap of a
piece of material 2 inches wide and
1 inch longer than the pocket open-
ing. To the lower side of opening
haste a piece of material about 2
inches wide and 1 inch longer than
the opening. Machine stitch over
these tacking threads but not over
the ends of opening. Tie the
threads securely; cut the opening;
take out bastings and turn edges.
Baste the ﬂap dowu in place. To
the upper side of pocket haste larger
piece of lining and run a line of ma-
chine stitching along seam on right
side of ﬂap. Stitch the other part of
pocket lining to the lower facing of
pocket. Then stitch the two pieces
of the pocket together down the
sides and across the end. Tack the
corners and press. When making

without the ﬂap use a piece of ma—
terial for the upper as well as for
the lower facing of the slot.

Next baste a facing to the left
front ﬂy portion of trousers; stitch
into place; turn and press. Then the
ﬂy is made and put into the left
front portion. Be sure to match the
notches at the. lower end of ﬂy.
Make the buttonholes in the ﬂy be-
fore basting it in place. These are
made from the cloth side. The edge
of the ﬂy should be a triﬂe back of
the edge of the front of the trousers.
Stitch about one—quarter inch back
of the buttonholes running in a
curved line at the lower; edge. Tack
ﬂy and front facing with strong
twist between each buttonhole. The
underlapping piece for the buttons
on the right front should be faced
with lining; then seam the cloth
edges together and press seam open.
Let the facing cover seam; stitch
ﬂat on right side and press. Sew on
buttons.

The side pockets come next. These
are inserted in the side seams. Cut
a strong piece of lining of the s12e
required. Stitch a piece of mater—
ial about 7 inches long to one Side
of the pocket. Face the pocket open~
ing on the front side of trousers
with material, stitch and press fac—
ing; stitch outside leg seam and ad—
just pocket‘ as» shown. Round off
one corner of the pocket inSide and
stitch the edges. Turn the stitched
side seam towards the front, tack
down, stitch on the right side and
press. Finish each end of pocket
with a strong bar tack. Stitch and
press open the inside seam of each
leg.

The two leg portions may now be
joined beginning the seam \from the
waist at the back and extending it
to the notches in the lower edge of
the ﬂy pistes. After stitching, press

seam open; strengthen with a piece
of linen tape basted on the inside
and stitched down on each side of
the outside seam. Turn the end of
the tape over and fasten.neat and
ﬂat at the end of the ﬂy stitching.
On the outside at the end of the
ﬂy stitching make a strong bar or
tack to prevent ripping. At the top

edge of the trousers turn down a
hem and face the waistband with a
piece of lining. Hem the lower edge
of each trouser leg with invisible
stitches. Press the whole garment.

The trousers should look almost
like “boughten ones, but to really
carry the whole thing out well with
the boy, it would be best to wrap
them up in new brown paper, tie
neatly with twine, paste a store
label on the outside, put them in the
back of the buggy and send Sonny
out to bring them in: That is, if
you want him to be perfectly satisfi-

cheese can be made in the farm

is available. Cheese is not only a.
very valuable food in the family

be found for it. The equipment for
making cheese is very simple and

most of it could be made at home.

Time-Tested
Securities

The old fashioned ﬁrst mort-
ue has been in such general
use that the average person
has a fairly clear conception
of its form, purpose and

importance.

In a small mortgage there is

but one note, held by one in-

dividual. In a large mortgage

the indebtedness is repre-

by a number of notes

or bonds] all equally secured ,

the same mortgage or trust

deed.

Thus in buying a ﬁrst mort-
gage gold bond you are
purchasing a type of security
with which you are thor-
oughly familiar and one
which has proved to be one
of the safest and most tangi-
bleoiall formsoiinvestments.

ready for another contest?
Well, you better be because we
have one in this issue. I am asking

and be sure to sign your name and
address at the top of each sheet.

The prizes will be: The writer at

“’hat the School Clock Saw

The bell rang at exactly nine o’clock.
Thirteen children ﬁled into the school-
room, and sat down.

The teacher rapped on her desk with
a ruler, and said, “Time for Work,” then
looking around the room she saw Johnny
Geiger pretending to study very hard.

“John Geiger, did you or did you not
run away from school last Friday?" she
asked.

Johnny looked up, "No, mam,” he re-
plied.

“Then what did you do I should like
to know” she asked quickly, looking over
her glasses at Johnny.

“I walked, all the way home" he said
picking up his book. Of course the school
couldn’t help laughing, but Johnny could
not understand the joke at all.

Miss Jones only turned her back on
Johnny, and began to wipe her glasses
wih a small silk handkerchief. At half
past nine the third and fourth grade
spelling class was called to recite.

"Ernest. well ﬁsh,” Ernest spelled
‘N-i-n-n-o-w."

“No. goodness no,”
can you spell it right?"

Carl sloyly spelled, “w-h—a—l-e.”

With an impatient stamp of her foot,
she sent them to their seats to study.
Every one got their lessons after that
until after noon when there was quite
a lot of noise in the room. Miss Jones
looked up from her book.

“Harold."

"Yes Mam."

"That tin box makes too much noise.
It’s a regular rattle box, throw it in the
stove."

III—I'll

"Throw it in the stove I say. I’m not
going to listen to its noise any longer."

“But it's got—"

“Never mind, put it in the stove," she
said, rising ﬁom her chair. .

Harold walked to the stove,
the box in.

If you had been there ten minutes later
you would have seen a very queer sight.
Miss Jones was rushing to the scene with
a broom and dustpan to sweep up the
ashes that were scattered all around the
stove. The small boys and girls were
all in the furthest corner of the room.
Harold picked himself up from the ﬂoor,
Valeria Geiger was standing on a desk,
and Ethel Davis. and some others were
standing in front of the stove laughing.

You see the box had been ﬁlled with

am 13 years old. My birthday is Jan-

have been a silent reader of the Children's

and answer their letters. I live on a

for; any person inside its borders
under eighteen years of age. Con-
gress has granted the state permis-
sion to ~make such a constitutional
amendment. ‘

‘..‘We hear much about the crime
of child labor, but always the statis-
tics- of the matter are ignored.

“0!! the other hand, tlke country
is cursed by young criminals who
never worked when they were
young. The habit of idleness and
irresponsibility ﬁxed in youth has
cursed them in maturity. We think
they would have been blessed by
toil. What do you think?”

There are plenty of people and
organisations who are in favor of
strict child labor regulation who do.
not favor the proposed amendment.
That grand old farmers’ organiza-
ion, the Grange, goes on record in
m oﬂlclal organ, the National

' Grange Monthly, as follows:

"The Grange has always been on
record as opposed to any exploita-
tion of child labor. Batit is to be
regnetted that a way has not been
found to so word a child labor law'
as to protect the nation from evils
of a vicious system and yet not com-
mit a still greater wrong, both to
the nation and to the children them-
selves. Because the pending Feder-
al measure does not meet these re—
quirements, it will be a serious mis-
take if it is written into our Con—
stitution.”

Thomas R. Marshall, former Vice-
President of the United States, writ-
ing in the Washington, D. C. Star,
August 24, 1924, summed up the
situation in a few words when he
said:

“The child labor amendment un-
doubtedly was designed to protect
children from dangerous and vicious
occupations; but it doesn’t say so.
It is not restricted to children, to
manual labor, nor to hurtful and im-
moral occupations. Under it Con-
gress could prevent any person
under 18 years of age from doing
anything manually or intellectually
for compensation. Congress could
even prevent a father from ordering
his boy to pick strawberries for his
breakfast. Yet representatives of
the people with knowledge of this
fact submitted the amendment to
the legislatures of the several
States, and defend their act on the
ground that Congress would never
use it power foolishly. Unfortun-
ately, records of the Congress do
not uphold that contention.”

It is evident that new and revolu-
tionary powers cannot be granted to
any government ofﬁcialsgat Wash-
ington without the surrender of
some of the parental control which
parents have previously enjoyed and
exercised. Right Reverend Warran
A. Candler, a leading Bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church recent-
ly declared:

f‘This ‘Child Labor’ amendment
proceeds on the absurd assumption
that, Congress will be more tenderly
concerned for children than their
own parents, and that from the dis-
tant capital congressional tender-
ness and wisdom will do better for
them than their affectionate fathers
and mothers, watching over them in
their homes. This assumption ap—
praises congressional government
far below its value.”

Just how far the effects of this
amendment may extend is indicated
by the following words by the wife
of Zinoveiv, president of the Young
Communists Internationale, whose
American section ﬁrst proposed and
is backing the so-called Child Labor
amendment. In discussing the “des-
irability” of having the government
assume all care of the children of
the nation, which they desire just as
stronglyfor the United States as for
Russia, she remarks: .

“We must nationalize the child-
ren. We must remove the children
from the pernicious inﬂuence of the
family. We must register the child—
ren, or—let‘ , us speak plainly—we
must nationalize them. Thus they
will from the very start remain
under the beneﬁcial inﬂuence of
c o m m u n is t: kindergartens and
schools. Here they will grow up to

A 'be real communists. To compel the

mother to surrender her child to us,
to the soviet-State, that is the prac-
tical task before us."

Another ,_phase of the situation

 

(Continued tech as. a)":

 

“infringement of what we have come

to consider as state rights. Regard-
ing this point, Francis D. Patterson,
M. D. of Philadelphia declares:

“This proposed amendment to the
Federal Constitution if ratiﬁed by
the necessary number of States, is
but an entering wedge for a long
series of other amendments which
Would so change and alter our Fed-
eral Constitution as to make the sev-
eral States of the United States but
provinces under bureacratic control
from Washhgton."

v Miss Nila F. Allen, former head of
the Child Labor Tax Division, Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue, declares
that the present system of control
by states is successful and adequate.
She writes:

“There is no child-labor condition
in any State that cannot be handled
easily by the Mate upon the demand
of its citizens. There is every in-
dication that all the States are now
well informed on the subject of child
labor, a porogress which is more
remarkable in view of the possibility
of a constitutional amendment which
would effectually destroy all the re-
sults of State initiative.”

Among the many direct and in-
direct results of the adoption of the
proposed amendment which we
should carefully consider, is its ef—
fect in complicating our already in-
tricate governmental machinery,
with a consequent increase in tax
burdens. When we consider these
things, the voice of Jefferson from
the past sounds a moderate note
when he warns us. “"‘were we
directed from Washington when to
sow and when to reap, we should
soon want. bread. It is by this par-
tition of cares, descending in gradu—
ation from general to particular, that
the mass of human aﬂairs may be
best managed for the good and pros-
perity of all.”

Of course, there are those who
say that Congress would never use
the full limit of the power which
this amendment proposes to bestow
upon it. Let us not be too sure
about this point. Congressman Ram-
seyer, of Iowa, has well said:

“Why should we confer a power
on Congress that nobody ever ex-
pects to exercise? In other words,
we never confer power upon Con-
gress unless we expect Congress to
exercise that power, and heretofore
Congress has always proceeded to
exercise all power conferred.”

Popular institutions represent not
merely an endeavor to establish gov-
ernment, but to protect the people
against the agencies they create.
Thomas Jefferson, in a famous state—
ment more than a century ago, dis-
posed of the suggestion that grants
of political power could be safely
made, on the assurance that they
would not be abused. He said:

“It would be a dangerous delusion
if our conﬁdence in the men of our
choice should silence our fears for
the safety of our rights. Conﬁdence
is everywhere the parent of despot-
ism. , Free government is founded in
jealousy, not in conﬁdence. It is
jealousy and not conﬁdence which
prescribes limited constitutions to
bind down those whom we are
obliged to trust with power. Our
Constitution has accordingly ﬁxed
the limits to which, and no further,
our conﬁdence will go. In questions
of power, then, let not more be
heard of conﬁdence in man, but bind
him down from mischief by the
chains of the Constitution."

BIBLE THOUGHTS

OWE NO MAN ANYTHING, but to
love one anqgher for he that loveth
another hath‘ fulﬁlled the law. Love
worketh no ill to his neighbor: there-
fore love is the fulﬁlling of the law.
——Romans 13:8, 10.

OF A TRUTH I percieve that God is
no respecter of persons: but in every
nation he that feareth him, and
worketh righteousness, is accepted
with him.—Acts 10:34,35.

Hts: THAT LOVETH SILVER shall
not be satisﬁed with silver; nor he
that loveth abundance with increase:
this is also vanity. When goods in-
crease, they are increased that eat
them: and what good is there to the

g owners thereof, saving the beholdlng

The most important development since the
cord tire itself—that’s what they’re saying of
SUPERTWIST, the remarkable new cord fabric
perfected by Goodyear! The superiority of .
this enduring material lies in its greater elas— ,
ticity—it far o-u-t—s-t—r-e-t—c-h-e-s the breaking ,
point of standard cord fabric. Hence it affords
Goodyear Tires extreme protection against
stone bruise and like injuries. SUPERTWIST
is used only by Goodyear, and is built into
Goodyear balloon tires of both kinds—to ﬁt
new wheels, or the wheels now on your car.

DAIRYMAN’S TEN COMMAND-
MENUS

I. Thou shalt not slumber late
in the morning, but shalt rise early
and deliver thy milk to the factory,
for he that goeth late causeth the
buttermaker to use profane lang-
uage.

' II. Thou shalt not cast all the
dirt thou canst brush off the cow
into the milkpailu

III. Thou shalt not take any
cream for thy tea or coffee, for
When thou gettes't thy dividends one
shall say to another, “Why taketh it
more milk here for a pound of but—
ter than at any other creamery?”
Then shalt the buttermaker arise
and hold thee up to ridicle with the
Babcock rotary test.

IV. Thou shalt not mix water
with thy milk, thou nor thy man
servant n'or hired girl, for so surely
as thou doest this thing thy name
shall be Dennis over the length and
breadth of the whole milk route.

V. Thou shalt not feed thy cows
too much potatoes, onions, horse—
radish, mustard or bad cabbage, for
these things, though they may be as
cheap as all outdoors, cause the but—
termaker to gnash his teeth exceed-
ingly, and the butter cater to- buy
his butter somewhere else.

VI. Thou shalt not set thy can
of night’s milk in the cellar with
the cover off in order to use it as a
trap to catch rats and mice therein,
neither in the woodshed as a tempt—
ation to thy neighbor’s cat.

VII. Thou shalt not carry away
more milk or buttermilk than thy
share, lest someone will say con—
cerning thee: “For a. wonder, onc
hog carrieth food for another.”

VIII. Thou shalt not use unclean
cans, but shalt cause thy cans to be
washed every day, for a ﬁlthy can
is an abomination in the biitl‘orma‘r-
er’s sigth, and he will visit his wrath
upon him that bringeth it.

IX. Thou shalt not trouble the
buttermaker, saying: “When shall I
receive my pay?" for verily I say
unto you, he knoweth not nor car—
eth a little bit.

X. Thou shalt not say unto an-
other, “Lo, behold, have not these
milk handlers a soft snap? They re—
ceive much pay and work not very
hard at all.” Verily I say unto you
this is a Whopper. They rise early
and toil much, and peradventure the
board of directors refuseth to buy

another separator; they will be
obliged to toil Sunday morning
when other people are fanning

themselves within the gates of the
synagogue—J. B. Ford Co .

HIGH LIGHTS IN YEAR’S
TESTING WORK
ETWEEN the dates July 1,
1923, to July 1, 1924, ﬁfty-ﬁve

year.
The Oceana County C. T. A., L. D.
Leisenring, cow tester, had the

highest butterfat production aver-
age per cow of all Michigan Cow
Testing Associations. One hundred
and sixty—six cows produced an av—
erage of 342.6 lbs. butter fat and
7058.8 lbs. milk for the association
year.

The West Allegan C. T. A., Leslie
Wilcox, tester, stood second in but—
ter fat production per cow. This
association averaged 335.9 lbs. fat
and .7170 lbs. milk.

The Kalamazoo, Newaygo and
Macomb No. 2 C. T. A.’s ranked
third, fourth and ﬁfth, respectively,
in highest butterfat production per
cow.

The Clinton-Shiawassee C. T. A.,
H. V. Armstrong, tester, had cthe
highest milk production average per
cow of all Michigan Cow Testing

Associations. This Association av-
eraged 9101.7 lbs. milk and 317.2
lbs. fat.

0. E. Burke of Dimondale, Mich-
igan, a member of the South Eaton
C. T. A. (Hans Kardel, tester),
owns the herd having the highest
average butterfat production in the
ﬁfty-ﬁve Michigan C. T. A.'s. This
honor stamps the Burke herd as the
best among 1436 herds representing
15.491 cows. Burke has seven
purebred Holsteins in his herd.
These seven cows’ averaged 513.6
lbs. fat and 1.44724 lbs, milk.

 

A hard of six" purebred Jerseys

_ grade Guernseys

T. A., ranks second in butter fat pro-
duction. This herd produced 488.85
lbs. butterfat and 9,198.3 lbs. milk.
Wm. Knobloch of the East Allegan
C. T. A. had 18 purebred and grade
Jerseys that averaged 465.5 lbs
butterfat and 8,752.7 lbs. milk. .

The Newaygo C. T. A.—oldest in.
the U. _S. A.——had two herds that
ranked in the select circle ofithe
ﬁve highest producing Michigan C.
T. “A. herds. A. 0. Nelson and 'E. E.
Price of this Association ranked
fourth and ﬁfth respectively. Nel-
son’s ﬁve purebred and grade
Jerseys averaged 464.48 lbs butter-
fat and Price’s six purebred and

a
lbs. fat. veraged 460.55

T. C. Tiedebohl’s purebred Hol-
stein cow, Community Inka Queen
De K01, six years old, was the high-
est individual butterfat producer of

TEST CATTLE BEFORE
SHIPPING

We are going to move to Wiscon-
sin this fall, and we wish to take 3
cows and two young heifers with us.
How would be the best way to go
about it? Would they have to be
tuberculin tested? Could we rent a
car and take ﬁve head of stock. and
what little furniture We have?—J.
B., Croswell, Mich.

THE cattle to be moved to Wis-
consin should be properly tu—
berculin tested by an approved
veterinarian before shipment is
made. There would be no objection
to shipping the cattle in the same
car with the other material that is
to. be moved. The Wisconsin m u—
ations permit the immigrant cattle»
being shipped, subject to the tin; rc-
ulin test at the destination. or in a
public stock yard enroute, provided
it is impractical to apply the test at
point of origin. It would not be ad-
Visable, however, ’to follow such a
procedure for in the event of a re-
actor being located, the state indem~
nity would be lost to the owner.
Sometime within 60 days of the
date of the proposed shipment. the,
owner should make application to
the State Department of Agriculture
for a permit to cover the test of his
cattle, indicating therein the number
of cattle to be tested. the veterinar-
ian selected for the work and the
reason for having the test made. A
permit will then be issued and. if re-
actors are found as the result of the-
test, the state indemnity will be»

CATTLE GO LAME WHEN
CLOVER BLOSSOMS

I have a ranch of over six bun-
dred acres and have three hundred
cattle. l have trouble with lame—
ness when clover comes in blossom
and would like to know the cause
and what to do for it.-——J. C.,
Crump, Mich.

HE lameness is probably due to,
certain fungi which infest the
clover. The principle indica—

tion in treating this condition would-
be to remove the cattle from the in—
fested ﬁeld by placing them in a.
feed lot for a few days. As a rule.
the animals rapidly recover when
they are removed from the infected.
pasture and, after a few days, can
again be turned back into the pas-

the great conference round
"l’tabl'e under'ivvhich willlgo two thous-
-'~aild" feet-*"_and"'more at' Columbus,
Ohio, November 7 to 11 in the
rig‘reatest coéoperative house clearing
x-“discnssio‘n ever held between repres-
m‘entatives of the agricultural com-
}‘=munities and the champions of re-
ligion in the United States.‘ '
’ The force that will gather at Col-
iaumbus for this epoch—making con-
~. ference will, be marshalled in great
regiments—The National Grange,
The Farm Bureau Federation and
Mother farmers’ organizations have
'agreed to send ﬁve hundred able
.'representatives of the farmer’s com-
munity life—most of them dirt
I'iarmers themselves. The forces of
.‘religion will ﬂank this movement
with ﬁve hundred rural preachers
and lay readers, men who are very
.-close to the soil indeed. To the
same conclave will come further
:hundreds of students from all over
the United States—young men and
twomen who are the future leaders
’in agricultural ﬁelds who will join
.in discussion between the ministers
and the people.

'When the conference is over,
.there will be pretty clear pronounce—
.ments agreed upon by this great as-
semblage on such questions as:

What kind of religion will meet
:the farmer's needs?

What qualifications of religious
leadership will be required there-
for?

What is the religious message of
the countryside?

What of a rural church that is
equipped for service?

What is the plan and program of

~ a great national cooperative move-
ment in behalf of the country
church?

Dr. C. J. Galpin of the United
States Department of Agriculture
says: "It has been estimated that
twenty millions of America’s thirty
millions of landworkers are without
resident pastors, without much of a
church organization, and yet subject
to intense sectarian consciousness.
This is truly a situation of the most
stupendous waste of spiritual power
in all America’s wasteful history.
i'l'he springs of religion are being
-'squandered at the very source. The
'headwater hills of God, whence
come the cool waters of religion to
"the thirsty cities, are suffering fear-
ful neglect if not exploitation.”

Indicative of the nation-wide in—
terest that has been taken in such
"questions as the vital issue of the
9farmer and religion, there have been
‘scheduled several months in ad—
vance such men as the following to
'speak at our conference: Bishop
Francis J. McConnell, Dr. K. L. But-
terﬂeid, Dr. C. J. Galpin, L. J. Tab-
er, Master of the National Grange,
O. E. Bradfute, President of the
‘Farm Bureau Federation and Dr.

An estate near Cleveland has offered
a $3,000,000 farm as a permanent

bound and well illustrated. A book of
brief and popular advice on the.care and

OH, MONEY! MONEY!
(Continued from page 11.)

Maggie, with some dignity, shaking her
head at him reprovingly. “I thought
you’d be glad, sir!"

“I am glad. I‘m so glad that, when
I come to make my will now—I shouldn’t
wonder if I remembered them all again—
a littleb—that is, if I have anything left
to will,” he teased shamelessly. “Oh, by
the way that makes me think. I’ve just
been putting up a monument to John
Smith."

"Stanley!” Miss Maggie’s voice car-
ried genuine shocked distress.

"But, my dear Maggie, something was
due the man,” maintained Fulton, reach—
ing for a small ﬂat parcel near him and
placing it in Miss» Maggie’s hands.

"But—oh, Stanley, how could you?"
she shivered, her eyes on the words the
millionaire had penciled on the brown
paper covering of the parcel.

Sacred to the memory of John Smith.

"Open it," directed the man.

With obvious reluctance Miss Maggie
loosened the paper covers and peered
within. The next moment she gave a
glad cry.

In her hands lay a handsome brown
leather volume with gold letters, reading:

Start“ in to give double the regularly
prescribed dose for a week or ten days,
until the bowels move freely (physio) .

Make sure that each hog gets its share.
Mix it with the feed, or swill, or drinking
water. That will bring the worms.

Then give the Tonic regularly as di-
rected—two tablespoonfuls to every 500

Cured His Rupture

I was badly ruptured while lifting a.
trunk several years ago. Doctors said
my only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got
hold of something that quickly and com-
pletely cured me. Years have passed and
the rupture has never returned, although
I am doing hard work as a carpenter.
There was no operation, no lost time, no
trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will
ive full information about how you may
ﬁnd a complete cure without operation.

Carpenter, 44L Marcellus Avenue Manes-

tured—you may save a. life or at least

HEN DIZZY-IIEADED

I have a one year old hen; a
Rhode Island Red, pure-bred, fat,

fect health but is dizzy headed.
Head is draWn down between her
feet, her neck looks to be stretched
out several inches. If she is excited
she throws herself and can not get
her balance. You pick her up and
you ﬁnd she is all of a quiver.—
Mrs. W. 8., Bear Lake, Mich.
HE symptoms described are not
quite sufﬁcient for diagnosis.
If the neck appears paralized it
may be suggestive of botulism. If
the neck is tense it is indicative of
so—called wry neck. The former is not
curable in advanced stages while the
latter may be relieved by suitable
treatment. Usually a dose of epsom
salts may accomplish a cure.
However, the bird may be suffer-
ing from other diseases than the
ones mentioned and should be ex-
amined by a veterinarian.—-——H. J.
Stafseth, Res. Assoc. in Bacteriol—
ogy, M. A. C.

 

RATION DEFIClE-NT IN
ANMAL PROTEIN

Last year at about this time or
earlier my ﬂock of 12—weeks-old
chicks became sick and I lost a
great number and now I am notic—
ing a. few With the same symptoms.
The comb starts to turn black and
there is looseness of the bowels. At
the present time I am feeding equal
parts of corn, new wheat and oats
ground and mixed at each feeding
with just water enough to hold it
together, twice a day and new wheat
once a day, as I do not have milk
they get only water to drink. Part
of roosters weigh 2 or nearly 2
pounds—E. B. R., Manchester,
Mich.

T may be advisable for you to for-
ward one or two affected speci-
mens to Doctor Stafseth of the

Bacteriology Department of the M.
A. C., in order to get an accurate
diagnosis of the disease or ailment
now affecting your stock. Ordinar-
ily, late hatched chicks that are not
roosting at this time, are extremely
susceptible fall colds, and I am of
the opinion this condition is the re—
sult of either faulty brooding, or
faulty feeding, rather than the pre—
valence of a diseased condition
among the ﬂock.

I would suggest giving the entire
ﬂock Epsom salts at the rate of one
quarter pound to each hundred
birds, and feeding them liberally on
grain which should include about
half cracked corn, and Whole wheat.
The mash you are now feeding
should have added to it about ten
per cent meat scrap in the absence
of skimmed milk, or other milk by—
products. The colony house or
brooding quarters should be kept
in a dry and clean condition, espec—
ially if the chicks are roosting on
the ground or ﬂoor. The present
ration is deﬁcient in animal protein,
and the chicks will seldom make a
satisfactory growth where meat
scrap, milk by products, or some
other form of animal protein is not
included in the ration. This slow
growth is usually associated with a
general run down condition which
makes the stock susceptible to colds
or a diseased condition at this time
of yearr—E, C. Foreman, Professor
of Poultry Husbandry, M. A. C.

 

CRATE-FAT’J‘ICNING POULTRY

N crate—fattening poultry, if the
I crates are arranged one above
another in tiers there should be
tray bottoms, which can readily be
pulled out and cleaned. If only one
layer of crates is used, ﬂatted or
Wire bottoms, which permit‘the
droppings to fall through are sufﬁc-
ient. By putting crates one above
another many-birds can be cared for
in a small building and every bird
be Within reach and sight. Food is
kept in troughs in front of. the
crates.

To accommodate a half dozen
birds, the crate 30 inches long 18
inches deep and 16 inches high will
take care of them nicely. For farm
use—crate may be 6 feet long, a
foot and a half deep and 15 to 18
inches high, divided into three com-
partments, each of which will hold

 

 

ﬁve or six birds.

laying, looks bright and is in per—‘

i

‘1‘; '

            

The only essentials are a. slatted
front which will permit all the
birds to get 'at the trough at the
same time, and an open bottom to‘
let the droppings through. The
crate should contain"as many birds
as it will hold without crowding.
Treat the birds for lice before being
placed in the crates. The ration
should be light for a couple of days
until they become accustomed to the
new surroundings. Thereafter food
maybe kept constantly before the
birds for a fortnight during which
crate fattening is continued. The
feed should be a mixure of such
ground grains as wheat, oats, bar—
ley or buckwheat; a small amount
of shorts or middlings, and some
alfalfa meal if available. Mix to a.
consistency of batter which will
readily pour from pail to trough.
Buttermilk or sour milk is more di—
gestible than sweet milk in making
this batter. The alternate use of
sweet and sour milk will very quick-
ly cause indigestion. If milk is not
procurable, a beef broth may be
substituted. All raw feed is prefer-
able to cooked. Salt should be used
very sparingly if at all.

FRUIT and ORCHARD

 

RASPBERRY CANE BORER

Please tell me what ails my red
raspberries. The tips of the new
shoots die. I just set them out last
year.—O. B., Millersburg, Mich.

HE symptom which you describe
T seems to indicate the presence
of the raspberry cane borer.
This insect makes two girdles or
rings around the stem and deposits
an egg in the stem between the two
girdles and then the egg hatches the
larva or grub, works down through
the pit and if allowed to remain
sometimes works down to the base
of the stem.

The wilted tips should be cut off
below the rings which you notice,
removed from the patch and burned.

Horticulture, M. A. C.

MICHiGAN CROPS__

FERTILIZER ON RYE

Would you please let me know
what number of fertilizer for me to
use on sandy soil for Rosen Rye and
how many pounds to the acre?———J.
W., Auburn, Mich.

UR many experiments on the
use of fertilizers on sandy soils
of Michigan lead us to conclude

that the rye crop should receive
from two hundred to two hundred
and ﬁfty pounds of a 2-16—2 fertiliz-
er, provided the crop is not follow-
ing a mixed meadow or the land has
not been manured, otherwise, we
would advise two hundred pounds
of 16 per cent acid phosphate.

If it is planned to seed one of the
clovers in tho'ryc in the spring, it
is advisable go add a 2-12—2 in the
ﬁrst case an a 0—12—6 where man-
ure has been used or where the
crop is following a mixed meadow
of some sort.—M. M. McCool, Pro-
fessor of Soils, M. A. C.

NEW LAMP BURNS

Beats Electric or Gas

A new oil lamp that gives an
amazingly brilliant, soft, white
light, even better than gas or elec-
tricity, has been tested by the U. S.
Government and 35 leading uni-
versities and found to be superior to
10 ordinary oil lamps. ‘lt burns
without odor, smoke or noise—no
pumping up, is simple, clean, safe.
Burns 94% air and 6% common
kerosene (coal oil).

The inventor, A. R. Johnson, 609
W. Lake St., Chicago, 111., is offer—
ing to send a lamp on 10 day’s
FREE trial, or even to give one
FREE to the ﬁrst user in each loc-
ality who will help him introduce it.

Amazing Results Secured In One Day
By Use of Virex Formerly Known; '
As Rattle Snake Oil "1

'zi

Deafness and Head NoiSes need n’otibev'

dreaded any longer since the discovery? of
a. widely known physician. Now:~it is.
possmle for some of the most obstinate
cases of deafness, to be relieved in a day’s
time by the application of a prescription
formerly known as Rattle Snake Oil. This
treatment is meeting with wide success
all over the country,

Mr. D. Dey, a Nebraska resident, 67
years old, says, “I have used the treat—
for only two weeks and my hearing is
restored perfectly. The relief was al-
most instantaneous and now the head
nOiscs have disappeared. My catarrh, a
case of many years standing, is improv-
ing wonderfully.”

Mr. Ben Jackson, who lives in Indiana
says, “Before I used Virex I could hear
nothing. After ten days I could hear my.
watch lick." \

Angeline Johnson, a Mississippi rosi-
dent had been stone deaf for eighteen
years. She says, “Virex has stopped my
head nmses and I can hear the train
whistle 31/2 miles away."

Roy Fisher, Iowa man, says, “I hadn’t
heard a watch tick for eleven years—
now I can lay my watch on the table
and hear it plainly." '

.. Mr. W. .A' Lumpkin, of Oklahoma, says,

After being deaf 38 years, I used your
treultyi’nent only a few days and hear fairly
we .

Mr. Anthony Chapman, of Michigan,
says, “The terrible head noises have stop;
pcd entirely and my hearing is practic-
ally back to normal.

Deaf Baby Now Hears

Mrs. Ola Valentine, of Arkansas, says
“My little boy, now 5 years old, had bcori
deaf since about 4 months of ago. Now
itienhears very well and is learning to
a {.' ..

Mr. Mather Pelleys says, “My young
son, deaf for years, has used Virox for
only three days and he hears almost as
well as ever before.”

Sucli_amazing reports come from all
over this country and Canada. The pre-
scription which is known as Virex is
easily used at home and seems to work
like magic in its rapidity onpeople of
all ages.

So conﬁdent are we that Virex will re-
store your hearing quickly, and to intro—
duce this remarkable treatment to a mil-
lion more sufferers, we Will send a large

“I suppose when you get back
home. you'll go up to the cow with
a buéketful of nickels instead of a
milksitool now, Red,” we told him.
And I believe he would have just as
good results that way as the young
man'Wearing gray spats who laugh—
ed at him, would with the milkstool.

'Finally -we had gathered up all
our little dishes and were enjoying
the meal. At several tables about
the room the women were smoking
cigarettes. Red’s eyes bugged out
and be none too quickly remarked,
“I thought they kept all that kind
of women in one end of town.”

The rest of the evening we dash-
ed arOund New York from one sub—
way to another stopping now and
then only long enough to get some
more money changed into nickles,
the open Sesame for everything in
New York. Like ﬂocks of unherded
sheep the people of New York
swarm down the subway stairs, drop
their-nickels into the slotted turn-
stiles and grab one of those mighty
electric trains that dart about he—
neath the city all day and all night.

The train comes to a sudden stop
from.: its sixty mile gait, the electric-
a1 loud speakers in the car announce
"Times Square”, the doors automat-
ically open, half the people hurry
out and hundreds more are on the
:platform ready to jump in and take
their places in the scant minute of
stop. Half of the people who left
that train dash for another and in
ﬁve or ten minutes have been whisk—
ed away off to the other side of the
island, where there are just as many
people and just as many trains, and
all hurrying. .

We visited the Bowery, Second
Avenue, Greenwich Village, Brook—
lyn Bridge, and rode down Fifth

Avenue on top of a bus, and after
a very'few days I was ready to go
back to somewhere in the middle
west where we can keep up with the
times without so much hurrying,
where the women have not traded
off their feminine charm for the to—
bacco habit, where you can speak to
your neighbor, where there are a
few American, and where the barb-
ers and waiters don’t have to beg.

Although New York City ﬂies the
United States ﬂag, and is a part of
our constitutional government, 18th
Amendment and all. and is an able
representation of the power and en-
ergy and enthusiasm and general
vigorous greatness of America, still
it is so “foreign” in many ways and
is so vastly different from that great
bulk of our country which really
makes, and is, “The United States of
America" that it seems as though
you begin your experiences in for—
eign lands as soon as you strike New
York.

In my middle western mind there
is as much between “America,” and
all that that name means to me, and
New York City as there is between
New York City and London. Amer-
ica means to me, as it does to all

r it «3 Us ~

real Americans, and to" those mil-i

lions of foreigns who look forward
to some great day when they can
emigrate to America, in spite of our
new immigration law, it means a
land of freedom and of room, of
happy families and green grass, and
education for every one, and com—
fort and house-to-house democracy
and more than an even chance to be-
come independent, a promised land
where poverty and crime and drink
and uniformed ofﬁcials and class dis-
tinctions all are little known——
“America” means all of these to me,
but New York City means none of
it! '

New York City is not American;
it is an island off our eastern coast.
and on that island of Manhattan, is
the city of New York, there are more
Italians than there are in Rome,
and more Greeks than there are in
Athens, the capital cities of their
own countries. There are more Rus-
sians than there are whiskers in
Trotzky’s beard or bolsheviks in his
army, and there are more Jews than
there are in all Judea. In fact, the
minority of New York’s population
are Americans—and inany of these
must be off-color Americans or they
wouldn’t live in such a foreign city.

A visiting English Editor once
told me———in Iowa, by the way—that
our all—powerful Congress should
pass a law forbidding visiting journ-
alists and other travelers from for-
eign lands to return to their own
countries after having seen New
York City until they had at least
been west of the Appalachian moun—
tains to see some of America also,
to prevent their going back and giv-
ing false and mistaken impressions
of what they might have thought
was the United States.

There is no denying the greatness
of New York. It is the center of all
things—on this continent at least——
art, music, the theatre, industry,
banking, commerce. It is the larg-
est city in the world. (Of course,
London is, too, but London ﬁgures
it one way and New York another.)
It has perhaps more something-or-
other—est things in the world than
any other city. It is the great nerve
center of a great nation. It is rich.
It is beautiful in its grandeur and
in its sheer incomprehensible mass.
Sophisticated, indeed, would be he
who would get no “kick” out of New
York City, .the doorway to the
United States.

But I had been down on the dock,
and I’d seen the Leviathan, the big-
gest ship in the world, the ship that
was to take me to England, and I
was anxious to leave New York, and
see a foreign city on foreign soil.

(The next installment will tell of
the great Leviathan and the trip
across the ocean.)

Wheat

 

Prices Go Above $1.50 at Chicago

Small Receipts of Live Stock Send Prices Higher
' By w. w. FOOTE, Market Editor.

ESPITE all the talk about
“presidential years” being bad
for business, it cannot be de—
nied truthfully that the general
business of the country has under-
gone a marked improvement, and

I this includes farm products, all the

grains having shared in the upward
movement. Wheat leads off, in the
rise of prices, with rye bringing
prices which a year ago would have
seemed fabulous; while Within a
short time all the live stock markets
have had a genuine boom in prices
due to greatly lessened receipts and
active buying. Many other farm
products are embraced in the ad—
vances over prices paid a year ago,
and all this has come about legiti—
mately, without legislation. Our
foreign trade is getting back to
normal, and there is every reason to
look for large gains in trade with
Germany as a result of the accept-
ance of the Dawes plan for repara-
tion settlement. The banking sitau-
tion of the country is very strong,
as was shown by the reports made
during the recent convention of
bankers in Chicago, and it was
brought out by leading bank-
ers that the country is accum—
ulating suﬂicient capital for a vast
amount of development work and to
supply anticipated foreign wants.
But, even leaving out anticipated in-
creased trade With foreign coun—
tries. there is a largely increased de-
mand for all sorts of products for
consumption by our oWn fast grow-
ing population. Much space could
be ﬁlled by enumerating the ad-
vances which have been made by
various farm products, but in all
probability further advances could
take place before the paper was in
the hands of the army of subscribers.
Briefly, it may be said that when
this was written wheat had made an

advance of 31 cents in five weeks,

which is going it some, While the
advance in VVinnepeg was 35 cents.
Rye has come into unusual promin—
ence as a fast advancing grain, with
a great export demand, while corn
has lost much of its advance, which
was partly speculative, based upon
fears of damage from early frosts.
The change in the hog market has
been phenomenal, the late remark-
able falling off in the receipts in the
Chicago and other western markets
having forced prices to a level which
probably few, if any, had expected.
Cattle have joined in the boom, and
lambs too have advanced to prices
which make glad the hearts of
sheepmen.

Wonderful Boom in Wheat

Months ago when farmers had
hopes of better times in the wheat
trade any one who dared to predict
that in early October May wheat
would sell on the Chicago market at
”.5156 a bushel would have been
regarded as much too hopeful, yet
this has taken place, and nobody can
tell where the boom is going to
stop; although such an upheaval is
usually followed by at least tempor-
ary reactions. Recent prices were
the highest for wheat, rye and bar-
ley reached on this crop, and they
were the result of large buying by
exporters. Immense proﬁts were
taken by holders of wheat and rye.
while foreign news was largely re-
sponsible for the wild wave of spec-
ulation which swept over the grain
rggrkets. On the boom May wheat
Gold at the highest price touched
since May, 1921, and the highest
known in the month of October,
with the exception of 1916. Rye
joined in the wild market, selling
25 cents higher in less than a week,
rye being the chief bread grain ‘in
all eastern European countries. Oats
sold at the highest price for May de-
livery nr. this crop, and corn had a
sharp advance. Based on the De-

partment of Agriculture estimate
that United States has only 20,000,-
000 m of "star export, it is

ﬁgured by the trade that this coun—
try has already sold more rye than
it theoretically has to spare. An
immense business has been trans-
acted in wheat by exporters, and in
the last few days heavy buying ord-
ers from Germany, France, Italy,
Greece, Austria, the United King-
dom, Latvia, Sweden, Norway and
Denmark were ﬁlled; The good old
times have returned, and it seems
strange to look back and recall that
several months ago May rye was
selling at less than 80 cents a bush—
el. These big advances add many
millions to the wealth of American
farmers, and many farmers may be
expected to store their crops for
still higher prices. The uncertain
element in the situation is the wheat
crop of the southern hemisphere.
Unless exporters in Argentina and
other countries below the equator
ship enormous quantities to Europ-
ean markets, Chicago traders be—
lieve that prices may advance to $2
a bushel.

Yearling Cattle Sell Higher

Because of moderate cattle re—
ceipts in the Chicago market last
week and a good local and shipping
demand for light weigths and year—
lings of the better class, such offer—

ings moved upward most of the time,.

averaging 50 cents higher. Choice
heavy long fed steers, which had sold
until quite recently at large reduc-
tions in prices because there was a
very limited demand for them, ad-
vanced as much as 75 cents on
smaller offerings and a larger de—
mand, but the sentiment of the trade
was that any marked increase in
these cattle would bring about re-
newed breaks in values. The bulk
of the beef steers sold for $8.75 to
$11.50, with the best class of year—
lings bringing $11 to $12 and the
best heavies going at $11 to $11.75.
Sales were made down to $7 to $8
for the commoner light weight steers,
with no good lots of steers selling
below $9.75, while good heavy cat-
tle sold as low as $9.25. During
the latter part of the week some
declines took place in prices. Butch—
er stock had a good outlet at sub-
stantially higher prices for desirable
lots, cows and heifers selling at $3.75
to $10.75, while canner and cutter
cows sold at $2 to $3.50, bulls at

$3 to $6.25 and calves at $6 to $13,.
the calf market advancing 75 cents

to $1. With smaller offerings of
stockers and feeders than of late,
they were in fair demand at advances
of from 25 to 50 cents, country buy-
ing orders being ﬁlled at $3.75 to
$7.75, with good lots selling mainly
at $5.50 to $7. One year ago beef
steers were selling at $6.75 to $12.-
75, nine years ago at $5 to $10.50
and sixteen years ago ot $3.10 to
$7.60. Combined receipts in twenty
markets for the year to late date
amount to 10,198,000 head, compar-
ing with 10,553,000 3. year ago and
10,002,000 two years ago. Pros-
pects look encouraging for the
future.

Hogs Scarce and Higher

Judging from the great falling off
which has taken place in the mar-
ketingof hogs in Chicago and other
western packing centers, the crop of
hogs has been pretty largely dis-
posed of, and the great boom in
prices is easily explained by the law
of supply and demand. Eastern
shippers took an unusually large pro-
portion of the hogs offered last week,
and there was an unusually large
rise in prices, with prime light hogs
selling highest of all. Farmers own-
ing healthy growing young hogs
should give them the very best care,
for they are going to be worth high
prices. Present prices are away up,
sales a year ago having been made
at $6.70 to $8.50 and nineteen years
ago at $4.35 to $5.25. Fresh and
cured hog products have shared in
the upward movement in hogs, but
experts of lard and cured hog meats
every week are very heavy, although
less in volume than a year ago. Re-
cent Chicago receipts of hogs have
averaged in weight 242 pounds, or
seven pounds more than the ten-year
average for this season of the year.
Combined receipts in twenty markets
for the year to late date aggregate
31,034,000 hogs, comparing with
31,434,000 a year ago and 24,529,-
000 two years ago. Last week’s re-
ceipts in the Chicago markets were
the smallest for any week since Oc-
tober, 1920, and the advance for the
week amounted to $1, the top being
$11.35. Meager receipts and higher
prices are expected.

High Prices for Lambs

Despite greatly increased receipts
of western range lambs in the Chi—
cago market recently, prices under-
went a big advance under the inﬂu-
ence of an extremely large local and
eastern demand, sales ranging at

Crops Moving Quickly

Conditions for marketing the
wheat crop are favorable, according
to Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing di-
rector of the war ﬁnanCe corporation,
who has submitted a memorandum
to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.

“Regarding the adequacy of the
machinery in the west for handling
the marketing of the crops,” said
Mr. Meyer, “I am glad to be able to
say that the reports are most opti-
mistic, and that, in fact, the railroad
transportation seems to be adequate-
to the task. .

“Practically no substantial ear
shortages are reported, railroad em-
clency in moving the crop being al-
most Without precedent. Adequate-
ﬁnancial support is being provided
all along the line.

“A full supply of ocean tonnage
is moving the surplus to export mar—
kets with all possible promptness."

“It is a matter of much satisfac-
tion that this year’s great wheat
crop, grown as it was on a 10 per
cent smaller acreage than last year’s,
is bringing the farmers a billion
dollars cash at country point.”

 

WHEAT

Last week after going the highest
it has ever been during the month
of October in peace time the wheat
market failed to show any weakness
and continued upward, making :-
two-cent advance at Detroit on the
closing day of last week. The mar-
ket is vory’strong and advance: an
expected from time to time. The
lmofcropslnmampeismgmt
that buying must continue active.
according to the genera: belief. In
order to secure enough food to carry
the people through to another har-
vest it will be necessary that the
European countries purchase large
quantities of grain, and present in-
dications are that America is about
the only country that will have any
amount to export. Foreigners have
been taking the cash wheat as fast
as delivered by the farmers, and at
the same time buying heavily for
future use and it. is felt that the fill-
ing of these contracts Wili’ﬁlake it
impossible for wheat to decline, ev-
en should the foreigners quit buy-
ing for a time.

 

CORN
The corn market did not share in
the strength enjoyed by wheat, and
as a result the market remains on-

believe that rye is in a better posi-
tion and more limited inclined t
advance in price than wheat, due to
the fact that when Wheat reaches a

certain point the foreigners always

turn to rye. Many of them are more
mod to eating bread made from rye
than wheat. Farmers are being ad-
, vised by market experts to hold
Mr rye if it is in good shape. and
Will remain that way in their bins
until a little later, because the for—-
’ ‘ are going to need it, and
they will pay a good price if neces-
sary.

 

BEANS ,,

Now that farmers are threshing
their beans and a few of the beans
are ﬁnding their way to market the
speculators are working the price
down", but we doubt very much if
many of the farmers are going to be
frightened into unloading for fear
prices for this year's crop have seen
ﬂair high point. Growers are look-
ing to the national advertising cam-
mgn on Michigan grown beans to
are the day. Most of the buyers
ﬂavor the campaign also and state
m a plan was tried out a few
years ago and met with big success
but was not followed up through the
succeeding years and the stimulous
died out. Our readers will remem-
ber that the plan this year, which
was put into operation October 1st,
is to charge the grower 1 cent on
each hundred pounds of beans sold.
and to this the buyer adds an equal
amount and the total goes to the
general fund to defray the advertis-
ing cost. Growers are approving of
the plan. There is a general feeling
throughout the state that the yield
this year will be considerably under
last year and the majority of farm-
ers are planning on holding for bet-
ta- prices. Threshing so far shows
the crop to be of better quality than

    

 

Week of October 12
heaviest rainfall of the week
will occur in Michigan during
very ﬁrst part and again about
Thursday. However, for the week
as a whole it is not expected that
the rainfall will be above the av-
erage; to the contrary, there is ex-
pected to be considerable sunshine.
At very beginning of the week
the temperatures will be rising and
it will remain more or less moder-
ate throughout the greater share of
the week in this state. ,
Another rain storm will affect
Michigan about Saturday of this
week combined with more or less
wind of gale force. This storm will
run into next week.
- Week of October 19

Rain and wind will be the main
characteristics of the weather dur-
ing early part of this week in Mich-
igan. By Monday or Tuesday the
temperature will make a sudden
drop to readings very close to freez-
ing unless there should be another
storm center closely following it.
In this case the greatest cold will
probably be retarded until after the
second storm center, which will
gﬂng it about Wednesday or Thurs-

ay.

Fair, cold weather will follow for
the last days of the week although
the temperature will begin warming
up about Saturday. The week ends
with cloudy, theatening and windy
weather.

Many Temperature Extremes

The balance of' this month will
bring numerous storms that will
produce many and constant changes
in the temperature. High readings
for a few days will be followed by
low reading: for several days. This
alternate changing will continue un-
til early part of November. From

then. until near close of that month.

the average trend. of the tempera-
g Jars will be’dqwnward. " ,_

 

Market experts .

pom ‘A'rons
A fair demand existed in the De-
troit potato _market last' week, al-
though there was an over-supply. At
Chicago the market seemed weaker,

. and trading was only fair. The sup-

ply_ exceeds the demand in New
York. Reports come into our ofﬁce
that potatoes are a fairly good crop
in Michigan this year, and if prices
are right the potato grower is going
to make some money.

 

KAY

The markets for the last week
was as a whole quiet. This was due
partly to light demand and partly to
quantities of low grade offerings.
The western markets are in better
shape as inquiries in this section
have been more noticeable while the
east is lifeless with scarcely any
change from a week previous.

BUTTER
Trading in the butter market is
fair with supplies more than enough
to take care of the demand. Prices
show little change.

EGGS
Eggs are in demand and the mar-
ket is ﬁrm with supplies, at most
points, fair. Fresh eggs are the
ones that are selling best but demand
for storage eggs is improving daily.

 

 

 

WOOL

The Commercial Bulletin of Bos—
ton, Mass., on Saturday, October 4,
had the following to say regarding
wool:

“Wool has easily maintained its
strong position during the past week
and, if anything, is against the buy-
er, despite the fact that London has
declined about 5 per cent from the
high point of a week ago. London
still is the highest market in the
world, however, due to the European
demand for spot wool for which a
premium has been made. The for-
eign primary markets all keep very
ﬁrm and demand is excellent in Aus-
tralia, with good clearances con-
stantly.

“The strongest feature of the local
market is the decided improvement
in the demand for good.

CROP REPOR’IB

Ottawa—First carload of champion
grapes shipped. Does not appear that
concords will ripen. Most of wheat sown,
some up and looking good. Corn coming
along nicely except where frosted. This
county W111 have considerable ripe com
and farmers with quality corn will save
lots of seed. Silo ﬁlling begun—C. P.
Milham.

Shiawaucr—Clear cool weather. Farm-
ers are very busy in the bean harvest.
Very little wheat seeding has been done
as yet but if weather conditions are
favorable a large acreage will be put in
this week. Corn is well cared and out
of frost danger but will not be ripened
as the season was unfavorable for ma—
turing. Apples are a light crop but pears
and grapes are yielding well. Potatoes
will yield well and free from blight.—
D. H. M.

St. Clair—The rain fall the ﬁrst of the
week was very beneﬁcial to all pastures
and new seeding. The weather the last
of week very favorable for harvesting
crops—C. M. Kidmarzi County Agent.
