main Holstein States. A special at-
tempt to insure the quality of the

iting the number to half the usual
total by setting up high entrance
requirements as to proven produc-
tion, and by demanding rigid inspec-
tion by good judges of the Holstein

 i  1 Important Road Laws Passed By Legislature

' , Lawmakers Realize That Highways Are Vital Problem and Pass Many Note-worthy Bills

’ HE 1925 session of the Michigan
State Legislature is now his-
tory. Be‘fore,.‘we either com—

mend 'or condemn it' ,too’ much for
its doings it is ﬁtting and proper for
us as citizens of a self-gaverning
democracy to pause fer a few mo-
ments to analyze briefly a few of
the moreimportant laws enacted by
our duly elected lawmakers. As
law abiding citzens who realize that
the safety of our homes and proper~
ty——-yes, and of our very lives is
dependent on respect for law and
order, we have a. certain duty to
familiarize ourselves‘with the pro-
visions of recent legislative enact—
ments which have alread, . or will
soon, become effective.
Enact Highway Finance Program
The ﬁrst important legislation
considered and enacted at the 1925
session was what was called the
highway ﬁnance program. In its ﬁn—
al form this program took the form
of two companion bills—the two
cent gas tax and the weight tax. This
latter levy took the place of the old
auto license which had been based
on a combination of weight and
horsepower. The ‘new basis result—
ed in a more equitable scale of ll«
censes and generally considerably
reduced the fee to the owners of
light or. medium weight cars. The
rate on passenger cars was ﬁnally
set at 55 cents per hundred weight
while a levy of from 65 cents to
$1.25 was imposed upon commercial
vehicles, including trucks, the heav—

 

ier vehicles coming under the high- .

er brackets of the weight tax.

The weight tax law provides that
from its revenue $6,000,000 shall
be returned each year to the coun—
ties in proportion to the amount
collected from each. From the bal-
ance the following appropriations
are speciﬁed: not less than $1,200,-
000 for interest and sinking fund
for the state highway bonds; $2,-
000,000 for maintenance of state
trunk line, Federal aid and non—
trunk line highways; $1,000,000
for building trunk line bridges, in—
cluding grade separations; $500,—
000 for non-trunk line highway
maintenance and .non-trunk line
bridges; and $300,000 for operating
expenses of the State Highway De-
partment. Any weight tax revenue
in excess of these speciﬁc appropri-
ations would be used- for opening,
Widening and improving state trunk
line and federal aid, highways.

The two cent gas tax law was
equally speciﬁc as to the use which
was to be made‘of the millions of
revenue which it is producing. To
meet deﬁciencies in appropriations
for the payment of net amounts ow—
ing the several counties on state
award highways, not less than $1.-
500,000 for the current year and
$2,000,000 annually hereafter is set
aside until such delinquent awards
shall have been paid in full. The
law further provides that $3,000.—
000 at least of gas tax revenue shall
go for principal and interest pay-
ments on the state’s outstanding
highway bonds. ~It is further pro—
vided that the balance, it any, shall
be used for the general construc-
tion, improvement and betterment
of the public highways of the state.

Users of Roads to‘Pay

Probably the most signiﬁcant as-
pect of this highway ﬁnance pro—1
gram is that by the passage of these
two companion bills, the Legisla—

ture has deﬁnitely 'agknowledged'
W V and provided thatin the future the-

vided whereby visiting tourists
driving their cars over Michigan
highways will make their proper
contribution to construction and
maintenance ---cost.

Before these two laws were pass-
ed the state’s exhausted $50,000,000
highway bond issue and its $6,000,-
of delinquent highway rewards
owed to the several counties con—
stituted a virtual ﬁrst mortgage on
all of the taxable general property
of the state. Somebody stood to
pay these bills. If the motorist had
not been compelled to meet them,

the general taxpayer would have
‘been left holding the bag.

Many inﬂuential individuals and
organizations favored a high auto

weight tax and no gas tax, but the
farmers of the state and their pow-
erful organizations and publications
presented a united and unwavering
front and advanced the cause of the
gas tax with such logical and irre-
futable arguments that ﬁnally the
opposition yielded and the gas tax
was agreed to and consequent ma—
terial reductions were made in the
weight tax rates from the scale or-
iginally advocated. This compro—
mise meant dollars and cents to cv—
Undcr its
terms they Will pay less, for com—
mercial travellers and tourists will
through the gas tax pay a consider-
ably larger amount of the total
amount‘ than would have been the
case under a high weight-tax un—
supplemented by a gas tax.
Atwood, Ming and Kirby Bills
But it should not be supposed
that these two revenue producing
bills were the only, important road
laws enacted by the 1925 Legisla-
ture. In even a most cursory sur-
vey of the subject mention must be
made also of three other bills of the

HE government’s recent hear—
T ings on the proposed federal

grades for beans revived the
question: “Why do Michigan beans
undersell California's product?”

About a year and a half ago this
newspaper proposed an investiga-
tion should be instituted to ascer-
tain the answer to this question.
It was suggested this work should
be undertaken by either the state
department of agriculture or the
markets department of the Michigan
Agricultural College. But as far as
is known no action has been taken
by either agency.

In the meantime, assuming the
government reports are correct,
Michigan farmers have continued to
take about $5,000,000 a year less
for their crop.
based on statistics compiled by the
United States department of agri—

culture, Which . show Michi'gan'
farmers received $1 a bushel less
/for their beans than California

growers were paid for their crop
on corresponding dates. 'Michigan
produces more than 5,000,000 bush—
els.

Some question exists whether the
government ﬁgures are safe to use
for comparative purposes. It is
known, they apply largely to white
pea. ‘beans‘fin. Michigan, but it is
not known ,whether the California
DPICBSC.[are“_ on white beans . or all
beans. “This? newspaper  raised this
issue six months ,' ago, .but the de-

as
rts.

 
 

 

This estimate 18'

.to easy

m0st outstanding importance. The
ﬁrst of these measures is Senator
Atwood’s bill which authorizes the
State Highway Commissioner and
the State Administrative Board to

lay out and establish not "to exceed

500 miles of additional trunk line
highways on routes to be determin-
ed by them.

Represehtative Ming’s bill further
increases the control of the state
over the, trunk lines by providing
that on January 1, 1926 the state
will take over the entire charge of
their construction and maintenance
and will relieve the counties of any
responsibility, ﬁnancial or otherwise
in connection therewith. Somewhat
the opposite of the Ming bill is Rep—
resentative Kirby’s bill which per-

«m‘anently repeals the sections of the

old law under which the state shar—
ed ﬁnancially in the construction of
county roads.

‘ . New Township Road Law

Another important highway meas-
ure sponsored by Representative
Kirby and enacted into law was his
bill to allow for the construction,
improvement and maintenance of
township roads by boards of county
road commissioners in certain cases.
Sectidn 1 of this act provides as
follows:

“The board of county road com-
missioners of any county that is
operating under the county road
system, is hereby authorized to take
charge of all the highway funds
raised in all of the townships of said
county and whose township boards
consent to the provisions of this act
and to expend such funds in the
townships where raised in the con—

struction, improvement and main—
tenance of township roads. Consent
given by any township board may

be withdrawn by resolution adopted

0 Figures Show Bean Growers Lose $5,000,000

stand investigation if either the col—
lege or state decides to act.

Many growers are inclined to
feel the Michigan bean market is
controlled by the canners. A. B.
Cook of Owosso, master of the
state grange, shares this opinion.
At the government’s hearings Mr.
Cook said he had been informed
the canners buy 60 to 80 per cent
of Michigan’s bean crop and he
argued that whoever controls 00
per cent of the outlet of any com—
modity‘is in a position to domi—
mate and control the market on
that product.

Mr. Cook also stated there are
certain practices among Michigan
bean jobbers and elevator men
which the growers believe will
stand correction. He made this
statement when he objected to a
motion made by W. I. Biles, Sag—
inaw bean jobber. which sought
the growers’ blanket endorsement
of the jobbers’ methods.

Beans are grown in only a few
states and the industry lends itself
investigation. The need
for some sort of probe is indi—
cated in the following farm prices
supplied by the government as of
the ﬁfteenth of“ each month.

by such board, provided that notice
thereof be served upon the board
of county road commissioners not
less than ninety days before the
annual township meeting.” .

The amount to be raised for high—
way purposes in any township decid—
ing to come under the provisions
of this act would be determined by
the electors of the township at the
annual township meeting. Support—
ers of this bill declared that the
board of county road commissioners
had engineers and equipment much
superior to that which the town-
ships could afford and so were in a
position to do highway work better
and more ecenomically than could
the separate townships.

Representative Howell successful—
ly sponsored a bill which makes it
unlawful for any person to display
or permit to be displayed on his or
her motor vehicle any emblem or
insigna of any organization, associ—
ation, fraternity, lodge, clubor or-
der unless the owner of such motor
vehicle be a member of the organi-
zation the emblem or insigna of
which is so displayed. The law
does not apply to the use of such
emblems solely for participation in
any public parade, or at any public
fair, exhibit or carnival.

Vchiclcs Must l'lzu‘c Lights

One of the lzuvs passed at the
1922 Session which it will be difﬁ—
cult l‘or the average farmer to ob-

serve perfectly was Senator Martin’s
bill requiring all vehicles travelling
011 any public highway between one
hour after sunset and one hour be—
fore sunrise lo display a light. In
the past vehicles have been required
to carry a light only when travelling
on trunk line highways and village

streets. — The Martin bill also con—
siderably stiffens the penalty for
failure to provide proper lights,

raising the maximum sentence to a
line of $25 or 30 days in jail or
both.

Because of its relation to the pro—
tection of our improved highways
against the rapid and costly deteri—
oration which results from the un—.
restricted use of excessively heavy
trucks, probably no bill was or
greater importancc than Senator
Hinkley’s measure which regulates
the maximum weight and speed of
the larger types of trucks.

This bill makes it unlawful to
operate any vehicle upon the public
highways of this state, the gross
weight of which, including load, ex—

ceeds fourteen tons. For the pur—
poses of this act, trucks, tractors.
trailers and semi—trailer are each
construed to be separate units. The

maximum speed limit pcrinitted for

the various sized trucks ranges
from 15 to 30 milcs per hour. Any
person operating a. vehicle longer
than 40 feet would bc forbidden to
drivo closer than 1000 feet to any
similar vehicle moving" in the same
‘dirclction. For violations of this
act the operator’s license may be
suspended for a period of not to

exceed one year by the Secretary of
State upon the recommendation of
the trial justice or judge.

The above summary gives a brief
bird’s-eye view of the more import—

ant legislation relative to highway
construction, maintcnacc, ﬁnance

and use which were enacted during.
the 1925 session. Because of the
vital and intimate relation which
improved roads have to the daily
life of every farmer and citizen, We
have seen ﬁt to give these measures
the amount of space and emphasis
accorded above.

other important types of legislate

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
 


  
     
  
  
  
   
   
 
  
  
  
   
    
 
  
   
   
   
  
   
   
  
    
  
 
  
  
  
 
  
   
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
   
   
  
 
 
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
  
   
  
    
   
  
 
  
   
 
   
 
 
 
   
 
   
 
 
  
  
 
   
    
    
   
     
   
     
     
       
   
     
     
     
   
    
    
    
 
 
 
  

   

. V. in the issue of March 28 of
THE BUSINESS .FARMER asks,
“Why is it ._w_ithv using a peach

twig to "locate a vein of water that

it will work with some people and
at with others?” '
To answer the Question another
question must be asked‘and answer—
ed. The question isz'Why does the
peach twig work? To answer how
and why it works for some people
w'will lend itself in answering why the
peach twig or divining rod will not
work for others.

The most interesting thing about
the divining rod is that it works!
Many valuable wells have been locat—
, ed by» the useof the rod, but inﬁn-
' itely greateris the number of wells
,that have come into existence with-
‘Out the aid of the rod.

The writer had an opportunity a
' few weeks ago to witness the rod in
operation. A prominent farmer’s
‘ son obtains a very marked degree of
success with it. Also his neighbor
', possesses the occult power, for aban—
doning a well after driving it 190
feet, he resorted to the peach twig
and located a vein of water 15 feet
below the surface and not over ten
feet from the deep well. The father
is unable to receive any response
from the rod.

It is interesting to watch the son
or the neighbor as they are walking
across the ﬁeld with a peach twig~
held ﬁrmly in their hands. As they
hear a certain area the twig begins
to slowly but surely turn and point
toward the ground, when the right
place is encountered the twig is

l |' j
.i- ‘

 

 

 

 

 

According to J. A. Dextcr this is the way
to hold the twig to locate water.

(Mr. Flood's thirteenth article of his
series on European travels is devoted to
his trip into Denmark.)

' F one is a Dane he can boast that
his country stands today as the
foremost country of the world
in the scientiﬁc organization of her
agriculture, both in producing and
in marketing—and if one is not a
Dane he must admit it.

pecially in this particular section

Two Readers Declare Twig  Work One'Believes It   

 

,_

_..- ——_J

 

IN our March 28th issue we published a question sent to us by one of

our readers which read- “Why is it with using a peach twig to
locate a vein‘of water that it will work with some people and not

with others ?"

The three letters

published he“! ' are answers to

our reader’sinquiry. Can you give any more information? .

 

pointing straight downward. Sev-
eral trials were made with no vari-
ation. No success was obtained by
other members of the party. ‘

Two distinct areas could be map-
ped out running diagonally but paral-
lel across the ﬁelds. One area was
running towards a neighbor’s well
and the other including the farmer’s
well that is placed in the kitchen.

Since water existed in one vein as
is proven by the well in the kitchen
it is reasonable to suppose water to
exist in the other vein. It was con-
clusive evidencethat some relation
exists between the water in the
ground, the rod, and the operator.
But what is it? It wasn’t bec use the
operator willfully caused t e twig
or rod to turn as no apparent effort
was used except to ﬁmly hold it in
an upright position. Often the twig
would crack and break near the op-
erator’s hands in its endeavor to
turn.

Many trials and checks were made
to ascertain the force, though the
operator seemed to think that the
water in the soil lent magnetic inﬂu-
ence upon the twig for no physical
sensation could be felt except the
twisting. The suggestion was made
that the operator should ﬁrmly place
elbows against his hips and carry
the twigs as before. Also, since it
was convenient, the operator’s elbows
were placed ﬁrmly upon a table
which was moved toward the well in
the kitchen.

In both of these trials not the
slightest movement of the twig took
place. This was repeated many
times but without success as long as
the elbows were ﬁrm against the

. body or table.

Why should the placing of the el-
bows ﬁrmly against the hips or on
the table have any effect 'on the divin-
ing rod? The operator seemed to

think that the elbows on the table,

shut off the “electricity” thus pre—
venting the rod from working. But
with the check of having his arms
ﬁrmly at his sides as he was carry-
ing the rod in the ﬁeld was made,
no explanation was forthcoming
other than “it won’t_work that way".

To establish a correlationthat ex-
ists, recall how many acurious and
hectic evening that has been spent
around an Ouija board. Many ques—
tions are answered and futures fore—
told when the operators ”have their
arms free and at ease ’with their
ﬁngers lightly touching the indicator
which will go ~to “yes” and “no” or
to some letter. Of course some of
the answers have come true and we
marvel at Ouijas intelligence. Ouija
had to have the full free swing of
the arms in order that force of the
operators muscles, that were directed
by the subconscious mind, could be
effective in moving the indicator ere
the conscious mind is aware.

Likewise, the subconscious mind
plays the all important part in the
divining rod. Give the ideal condi-
tions for the subconscious mind to
direct the muscles of the arms and
the twig will turn ere the conscious
amind is aware. To take away the
conditions that allows the uncon-
scious movement the divining rod is
a total failure. It is this psycholog-
ical factor that makes it possible for
some people to be successful oper-
ators of the twig while others can
not.

To come back to speciﬁc trials
made. The operator by viewing the
neighbor’s wells determined that the
water should be at a certain place,
or knows it to be present. He pro-
ceeds to test it out. He gives his
subconscious mind and twig full op-
portunity to perform and they do so.
While others will not permit the sub-

440 pounds of butter per year from
each Danish cow. -

But with all this staggering dairy
production from so small a country,
Denmark’s chief claim to distinction
in the ﬁeld of dairying and other
forms of agriculture lies in the fact
that the Danish farmers face the
markets of the world as one uni—
ﬁed body of sellers instead of 200,—
000 individual farmers competing
with each other in price rather than
in production. The Danish farmer
produces efﬁciently on his own farm,
as an individual, but he meets the
demands of the markets in a solid
mass organization, business part—
»ners with his 200,000 fellow—farm—
crs, careful salesmen of their wares.

The agricultural societies of Den-
mark. promoting the technical. sci—

entific, and educational interests of
agriculture, enroll approximately 90
per cent of the Danish farmers——
that’s for‘eﬂiciency in production,
The cooperative associations, deal-
ing more particularly with the busi—
ness of marketing their products,
buying their supplies and insuring
their credit, enroll fully as many——
that’s for efﬁciency in taking care
of what they’ve produced.
than 85 per cent of the farmers of
Denmark are members of butter
and bacon cooperative associations,
selling to their more industrial but
less agricultural neighbors, England
and Germany.

Cooperation

Dane does without fences and,teth—
ers hi's cows out in rows. They grad-
ually work their way across the pas-
ture and eat it clean as they go.
By the time the cows have worked
their way across the pasture, the
original side has growu up again,
and is ready for the “second cut-
ting”.

When a man from Wisconsin by
the name of Robert M. LaFollette
visited Denmark a few years ago
he was being shown around the
country by the same man who had
charge of our merry party of edi-
tors, Mr. Holm, of the Danish de-
partment of agriculture. ,

Mr. Holm told us that when Mr.
LaFollette ﬁrst saw these cows lin--
ed up in rows across the unfenced
pasture, eating it'clean as .they
went, he was too far away to notice
the ropes. He stopped, surprised,»
and then remarked, “I had heard
that this is a great country for
agricultural cooperation, but I did-
n’t know that you had even train-
ed your cows to cooperate with you
like that!”

A County Fair

Mr. Holm took us to visit What
we would call a county fair. We
saw American-made machinery on,
display—and we saw other farm-
machinery standing right next to it
that had been made in Germany and
bore the name of Krupp. machinery
that appeared to be practically

- identical with the American patents“

and yet sold considerably-cheaper.

SOILS AND CROPS

Edltod by C. J. WRIGHT

NEEDS MORE RAY
I will need more, hay than I have
to harvest this season and would
like to have you suggest a substi-

 

tute crop. Soil is sandy loam, fair.
drainage. Have about seven acres
corn stubble and about same of

beet ground. Will appreciate your
suggestion and pointers on growing
the crop you advise. Will it be best
to plow the corn stubble?—L. E.
B., Swartz Creek, Michigan. ,_

NDER the conditions mentioned,

would recommend sowing half

the land to soybeans and half
to a mixture of oats and peas. The
oat and pea mixture should be
sown as early in the spring as pos~
sible using 1 bushel of oats and 1
bushel of peas and sowing the mix—
ture at the rate of 21A bushels per
acre.

Soy beans should be sewn the
latter part of May and may be sown
in 28 inch rows or drilled in solid.
If sown in 28 inch rows, 35 pounds
of seed per acre is sufﬁcient but if
drilled in solid, 90 pounds of seed
per acre would be required.

The corn stubble should be plow-
ed. The oat and pea mixture will
be ready to make into hay during
mid summer and the soy beans will
be ready to harvest during early
September. '

Soy bean hay has much the same
feeding value as alfalfa and clover
hay. The yield secured tram soy
beans has much the same feeding
value as timothy hay but is not as

desirable for cattle and young stock:

—C. R. Megee, Assoc. Prof. of Farm
Crops, Michigan State College.

TRY SOY BEANS OR PEAS

I have quite a large herd of cat—
tie and have no hay land for next
winter’s hay. Others have tried
clover on this farm but without suc-
cess. Kindly advise what kind of
clover I could sow with cats this
spring from which I could cut a
crop ’next fall for winter feeding,
if any. If not, what could I plant
with oats that will make bay for
next winter?-—G. D., Linwood, Mich.

’ITris likely .that your land is too

acid for clover. If this is the case

~neither alfalfa nor sweet clover
would be successful until some form
of lime has been applied.

too, for
such a belief. Among other things,
they argue that if one makes a spe—

best thought and concerted effort
will be given to that business. They
contend specialization allows one to
lower overhead expense by adopting
production methods which one could

They say a farmer should have
some special crop, and put his best

Soon after reading some article

farmer there is only one sure way-

of success in any line, and that is,
a great volume of production, prov-
ing that a farmer should have some
large production in one line, in-
stead of small production in many
lines.

Soon after the farmer has read a
few articles with the above “facts”
strongly set forth, along comes
some farm paper containing an art
ticle by some other noted writer.
He sets forth the argument that
farmers ~ should diversify their
crops; should not tie to one special
crop, etc., and shows where, if a
farmer makes a. specialty of one
crop, and that crop fails, the loss

is too severe. \

Just lately I read an article writ—
ten by one of,the greatest ofﬁcials
of a great steel company. He found
fault with the farmers who special~
ized on some one crop, because it
did not keep him busy every day
in the year. He took as an illus—
tration the wheat grower of the

year’s work could be spent in wheat
production. Lets see. It a farmer

If the farmers would band to-
gether and not work ,more than
seven or eight hours a day. I am
thinking our city friends would sit
up and take notice quite suddenly.

But, really, why should not the
wheat farmer, for his six months
of sixteen-hour days be entitled to
the same consideration and remun—
eration as the steel worker with
his twelve months of eight hour
days? Is this country going. to
have two codes of living, one {or
the men who work in the city and
one for the men who work in the
country?

If this man of the steel industry
would have explained in his article
Why a farmer now pays as much for
one plow point as he once did for

jointer point as he did pay for a
plow point; if he will explain why
when we bought three points for a
dollar, our old points and other iron
was eagerly sought and bought by
junk dealers at twenty to twenty—
ﬁve cents a hundred pounds; and
why now, with the great scarcity of
iron there is no sale for our old
iron, and junk dealers say it is
not worth drawing to town; it he
will explain some things like this,
it might help us to understand a
few things that now look quite con—
founding. ‘ -

Not long ago, while attending a
state meeting of potato growers who
were in convention at the same
time and in part of the same build-
ing with the State Implement Deal—
ers’ Association I was privileged to
make the acquaintance of the presi—
dent of one of Michigan’s leading
implement factories. Not knowing
I was a farmer, he had something
to say about the implement busi—
ness, and much to say about the
farmer. He said that all other lines
of industry were soon reorganized
and adjusted, after the world war,
-to meet the new conditions which
the war had caused. Said the farm~
er had been very slow to readjust
his business, since the war, and get
to going on a readjusted basis.

He said farming was the ﬁrst
industry to readjust itself and get
to going, after the Civil War and
all previous wars. Said he‘was at
a loss to understand the present
condition of thetarmers.
conversation began to wane, I in—
formed him I was a farmer and
that I regretted I couldn’t see con—
ditions just as he did and that if
he would put himself in a farmer's
place for a year or two, he would
more clearly understand the stag-
nation of the farmers’ adjustment
to new conditions.‘ ‘

Why is it we are deducted 87 cents

Beans are quoted today at $5.16.
If » we took our beans to the eleva-
tor today, they would tell us we
would be paid on the $4.60 per cwt.
basis but We would get only $4.22
cwt. That would make $2.53 a

bushel. It cost us 20 cents a bushel
to have thém’ thrashed besides

bearding the threshers and buying
the coal, that leaves as $2.33. Now
what margin of proﬁt are we allow—
ed when the work 01'50 acres of
land is deducted from that? There
were so many wasted in threshing
and'harvesting that we averaged 10
bushels to the acre and we could

not help it.

We paid one-third share for rent
of the land; so that was $15.64: At
a dollar per acre for seed would
leave $14.64. Do we make 87 cents
per cwt. proﬁt when the plowing
dragging,.cultivating six times, pull-
ing, hauling, bagging and taking to
market are deducted? And then
when we get there we are told we
have to pay for the new sacks to
ship them in, the cost of picking
(when they do not pick anything)
the freight down to the city and a
“margin of proﬁt” for the handler.
Why can we not ﬁgure a small
proﬁt before we sell? Why have
men in the cities the right to say
what the price of beans shall be?
Why can't the farmer say “I have
got to have 50 cents a cwt. proﬁt
before I sell”? But we have to
take just what price someone else
says. Is it right? Is it good busi—

{LAN crossed to the library and seated
A himself in the chair Where his father
had been accustomed to-sit. Wassa-
quam brought him the single small cup of
coﬁee, lit the spirit lamp on the smoking
stand and moved that over; then he went
away. When he had ﬁnished his coffee.
Alan went into the smaller connecting
room and recommenced his examination of
the drawers under the bookshelves. He
could hear the Indian moving about his
tasks, and twice Wassaquam Came to the
door of the room and looked in on him;
but he did not offer to say anything, and
Alan did not speak to him. At ten
o’clock, Alan stopped his search and went
back to the chair in the library. He
dozed; for he awoke with a. start and a.
feeling that some one had been bending
over him, and gazed up into Wassaquam'a
face. The Indian had been scrutinizing
him with intent, anxious inquiry. He
moved away, 'but Alan called him back.
“When Mr. Corvet disappeared, Judah.
you went to look for him up at Manis-
tique, where he was born—at least Mr.
Sherrill said that was where you went.
Why did you think you might ﬁnd him
there?” Alan asked.

“In the end, I think, a man maybe goes
back to the place where he began. That’s
all, Alan.” ' -

“In the end! What do you mean by
that? What do you think has become of
Mr. Corvet?"

“I think now—Ben’s dead."

“What makes you think that?”

“Nothing makes me think; I think it
myself.” '

“I see. You mean you have no reason
more than others for thinking~ it; but
that is what you believe.”

“Yes.” Wassaquam went away, and
Alan heard him on the back stairs, as-
cending to his room.

When Alan went up to his own room,
after making the rounds to see that the
house was looked, a droning chant came
to him from the third ﬂoor. He paused
in the hall and listened, then went on up
to the floor above. A ﬂickering light
came to him through the half-open door of
a. room at the front of the house; he went
a little way toward it and looked in.
Two thick candles were burning before a.
cruciﬁx, below which the Indian knelt,
prayer book in hand and rocking to and
fro as he droned his supplications.

A word or two came to Alan, but with~
out them Wassaquam’s occupation was
plain; he was praying for the repose of
the dead—the Catholic chant taught to
him, as it had been taught undoubtedly
to his fathers, 'by the French Jesuits of
the lakes. The intoned chant for Corvet’s
soul, by the man who had heard the
Drum, followed and still came to Alan,
as he returned to the second ﬂoor.

He had not been able to determine, dur-
ing the evening, Wassaquam‘s attitude
toward him. Having no one else to trust,
Alan had been obliged to put a certain
amount of trust in the Indian; so as he
had explained to Wassaquam that morn-
ing that the desk and the drawers in the

little room off Corve't’s had been forced,

and had warned him to see that no one,
who had not proper business there, enter
the house. Wassaquam had appeared to
accept this order; but now Wassaquam
had implied that it was not because of
Alan’s order that he had refused report-
ers admission to the house. The develop-
ments of the day had tremendously al-
tered things in 'one respect; for Alan, the
night before, had not thought of the in-
truder into the house as one who could
claim an ordinary right of entrance there;
but now he knew him to be the one ,who
—except for Shcrrill—might most natur-
ally come to the house; one, too, for whom
Wassaquam appeared to grant a certain
right of direction of affairs there. So.
at this thought, Alan moved angrily; the
house was his—Alan’s. He had noted
particularly, when «Sherrill had showed
him the list of properties whose transfer
to him Corvet had left at Sherrill's direc-
tion, that the house was not among them;
and he had understood that this was be-
comes "Corvet had left Sherrill no discre-
tion as to the house. Corvet’s direct,
unconditional gift of the house by deed
to Alan had been one of Sherrill’s reasons
for believing that if Corvet had left any-
thing whlch could explain his disappear-
ance, it would be found in the house.
Unless Spearman had visited the house
during the day and had obtained what he
had been searching for the night before—
and Alan believed he had not done that—
it was still in the house. Alan’s hands
clenched; he would not give Spear'man
such a chance as that again, and he him-~
self would continue his search of 'the
house—exhaustively, room by room, art-
icle of furniture by article of furniture.
Alan started and went quickly to open
the door of his room, as he-heard voices
now somewhere within the house. One

. of the, voices he recognized as Wassa-
.‘quam’s; the other indistinct, thick. ac—

cusing—was, unknown to him; it certainly
was mots-.Spearman's. He had' not heard
Wassaqua'm go down-stairs, and he had
not heard... the gdoonbell. ,so he ran “first

and found Wassaquam standing in the:

front hall, alone. ,

."Who was here- Judah?", Alan de—
manded. r . ‘r ‘ q

“A man," we‘lndian. answered stolidly.
"He was drunk; Input him out.” 

“What did he come here for?" ’

“He came to see Ben. I put him out; ’1

he is gone, Alan.”

Alan ﬂung open the front door and
looked out, but he saw no one. _

“What did he want of Mr. Corvet.
Judah?"

“I do not know. I told him Ben was
not here; he was angry, but he went
away.” _

“Has he ever come here before?"

“Yes; he comes twice." "

“He‘has been here twice?”

“More than that; every year he comes
twice, Alan. Once he came oftener."

“How long has he been doing that?"

“Since I can remember." - -

“Is he a friend of Mr. Corvet?"

“No friend—no!”

“But Mr. Corvet saw him when he

x came here?” -

"Always, Alan."

“And you don’t know at all what he
came about?’-’

“How should I know? No; I do, not.”

Alan got his coat and hat. The sudden
disappearance of the man might mean
only that he had hurried away, but it

might mean too that he was still lurking '

near the house. Alan had decided to
make the circuit of the house to determine
that. ‘But as he ca/me out on to the
porch, a. ﬁgure more than a block away
to the south strode with uncertain step
out into the light of a. street lamp, halted
and faced about, and shook his ﬁst back
at the house. Alan dragged the Indian
out on to the porch.

“Is that the man, Judah ?” he demanded.

“Yes, Alan."

Alan ran down the steps and at full
speed after the man. The other had
turned west at the corner where Alan had
seen him; but even though Alan slipped
as he tried to run upon the snowy walks,
he must be gaining fast upon him. 'He
saw him again, when he had reached the
corner where the man had turned, travel-
ing westward with that quick uncertain
step toward Clark Street; at that comer
the man turned south. But when Alan
reached the corner, he was nowhere in
sight. To the south, Clark Street reached
away, garish with electric signs and with
a half dozen saloons .,to every bleek.
That the man was drunk made it prob-
aable he had turned into one. of these
places. Alan went into every one of them
for fully a half mile and looked about,
but he found no one even resembling the
man he had been following. He retraced
his steps for several blocks, still looking;
then he gave it up and returned eastward
toward the Drive.

The side street leading to the Drive
was less well lighted; dark entry ways
and alleys opened on it; but the night
was clear. The stars, with the shining
sword of Orion almost overhead, gleamed
with midwinter brightness, and to the
west the crescent of the moon was hang-
ing and throwing faint shadows over the
snow. Alan could see at the end of the
street, beyond the yellow glow of the
distant boulevard lights, the smooth, chill
surface of the lake. A white light rode
above it; now, below the white light, he
saw a red speck—the masthead and port
lanterns of a steamer northward bound.
Farther out a second white glow appear-
ed from behind the obscuration of the
buildings and below it a green speck—,—
a starboard light. The information he
had gained that day enabled him to recog-
nize in these lights two steamers passing
one another at the harbor mouth.

“Red to red,” Alan murmured to him-
self. “Green to green—Red to red. per-
fect saftey, go ahead !” be repeated.

It brought him, with marvelous vivid-
ness, back to Constance Sherrill. Events
since he had talked with her that morning
had put them far apart once more; but
in another way, they were being drawn
closer together. For he knew that She
was caught as well as he in the mesh
of consequences _of acts not their own.
Benjamin Corvet, in the anguish of the
last'hours before fear of those conse-
quences had driven him away, had given
her a warning against Spearman so wild
,that it defeated itself; for Alan merely
to repeat that warning, with no more
than he yet knew, would be equally
futile. But into the contest between
Spearman and himself—that contest, he
was beginning to feel, which must
threaten distruction either to Spearmari
or to him~she had entered. Her happi-
ness, her future, were at stake; her fate,
he was certain now, depended upon dis-
covery of those events tied tight in the
mystery of Alan’s own identity which
Spearman knew, and the threat of which

at moments appalled him. Alan winced .
as there came before him in the darkness

lot the street the vision of Constance in

'H’ades; for'if the .mighty works had been

‘ Matt. 11 :21,23.

F course, these words were lun-

expected, Pastor Brown has
’ been a greatly loved man in
your community for these years.
You have known his ministry to be,
not condemning and rebuking, but
comforting always. “Come unto
me all ye that labor and are heavy
laden,” and similar texts were al-
ways on his lips. You- have gone to
his church to be soothed in theat-
mosphere of prayer and worship.
Ah, yes, just so. And you go again.
But this morning, the wise pastor’s
patience has its limit. He is‘pro—
voked and disquieted. You throw
yourself into the'pew as little more
animated than a bag of 'saw dust.
You are ~tagged out and listless.
The pastor knows why- Then why
should you be disappointed at the
earnest call to repentance?

the Jews. It is an insult for you
to make us out worse than those
ancient and loathesome cities of
«Sodom and Gomorrah.” “0,” says
Jesus, “those cities did not have me
to feed their hungry and heal their
sick. If the mighty works had been
done in Sodom which were done in
thee, it would have remained un-
til this day. And by the same fair
reasoning it may be said. that if
the mighty works of Christian tri—
umph and progress had been done
in Capernaum, which have been
done in many an American com-
munity, that city would have re-
pented in “sackcloth and ashes.”
Why don’t we? Capernaum was
not antagonistic and violently had.
'She 'just “repented not.” She was
apathetic and indiﬁerent. She did
nothing. But that was enough. Do-
ing nothing is an impregnable bar-
rier over which the blessings of
Christ cannot climb. Neglect food
and die. Neglect Christ and lose.

Truth. Judgment is according to
the scope and nature of our oppor-

said recently that every young and'
innocent girl, who had not openly
mnfessed Christ, would have to
spend hell with the vilest of men.

    
  

What a reckless and merciless
preacher! And what unf‘orgiveable
ignorance! And again Jesus says,

“He Who knew his Lord’s will, and
made not ready, shall be beaten
with many stripes; but he that
knew not shall be beaten with few
stripes.” The logic of this teaching
is, that judgment is to be measured

DIPORTANT LEGISLATION

OW that the “legislative war” is over and

the lawmakers have returned to their

homes it is time for us to consider the im—
portant laws enacted. There are new laws and
more new laws-«over 300 of them—and many
are of great importance to the farmers of Michi—
gan. The reader friends of Stanley M. Powell,
our Lansing correspondent, will be pleased to
know that he is preparing a series of articles
explaining these laws and the ﬁrst one appears
in this issue. You can follow this series with
conﬁdence because Mr. Powell’s hobby is legis-
lation and he has studied these bills carefully.
If there is anything you don’t understand about
these laws send in your questions.

CONCRETE ROADS COST LESS

IGURES on the cost of maintaining trunk

F line roads in Michigan, recently released

by the State Highway Department, can he
studied with interest.

Last year there were 6,606 miles of trunk line
roads maintained in the state at an average
cost of $503.18 per mile, or a total cost of $3,-
324,105.87. The costs of the different types of
road per mile are graVel, $522.71; cement con-
crete, 555.53; earth, $221.85; water bound mac-
adam, 657.83; bituminous macadam, $726.09;
asphalt concrete, $610.94; and stamp sand,
423.44. This cost covered all work done.

The most interesting ﬁgures, however, are
those showing the cost per vehicle mile. Gravel
roads were the most expensive in that case, re-
quiring 4.1 mills. Stamp sand came next on the
list requiring 3.8 mills. Earth required 3.6
mills; water macadam, 3.1; bituminous maca-
dam, 2.0 mills; cement concrete, 1.1 mills; and
asphalt concrete was last with 0.9 mill.

These ﬁgures would indicate that concrete
roads are the most economical in the long run.
costing about the same as gravel to maintain
and accomodating four times as much travel.

BEFORE YOU INVEST — INVESTIGATE

SHORT time ago we were riding with the
A county agricultural agent through one of

the rich fruit producing counties of south-
western Michigan. The road was lined with
splendid homesteads and unquestionable evi-
dences of prosperity and progress. Imagine our

warfare on every type of fraudulent investment

MOTOR COMPARISONS

N comparing prices it has become customary to
I use those of 1913, the last year when they
were not affected by war, as a basis. The
National Automombile Chamber of Commerce
makes some interesting comparisons in a book—
let just issued, the general tenor of which is to
show that we don’t want to go back to the good
old times before the war so far as motor vehicles
are concerned. The average automobile in 1924
cost $825, or 29 per cent below the average cost
in 1913. Then the average car cost 1,482 bush-
els of wheat, 2,521 bushels of corn, 6,214
pounds of wool, 21,400 pounds of beef cattle
and 17,074 pound of hogs. On January 15 of
this year an average automobile cost 506 bushels
of wheat, 732 bushels of corn, 1,910 pounds of
wool, 14,565 pounds of beef cattleand 8,800
pounds of hogs. That is a right good way to
ﬁgure on. automobiles or anything else, includ—
ing taxes. How do they cbmpare in bushels" or
pounds with 1913?

 

MEET A. BRAVE MAN

HERE was one Michigan lawmaker who at-

tended the last session of legislature and

did not introduce one single bill. That-is
hard to believe but, nevertheless, is true. Three
cheers for Jesse E. Fuller, of Gratiot county,
undoubtedly the ﬁrst solon in the history of
Michigan to win such an honor. He should re-
ceive a medal.

“I believe there already is too much legisla—
tion," Mr. Fuller told reporters when asked
why he had not introduced any bills. We agree
with Mr. Fuller. There are many petty laws
that have taken up valuable time of both the
House and the Senate that have never been used
and never will be.

WHAT IS IT? we

NEW YORK millionaire has a stock farm.

In his income'tax return for 1919 he re-

' ported a loss of $24.97 5 in the Operation of
the farm. The Commissioner of Internal Rev-
enue refused to allow the loss and now the
wealthy stock farmer has taken an appeal from
that decision. It would be interesting to know
on what grounds this loss in a livestock enter-
prisevvas disallowed. Did the Commissioner re—
gard the millionaire’s farm enterprise as a game
of chance, a luxury or What? Evidently it was
not regarded as a business enterprise. What is

'a rich man’s stock farm anyhow?

A MERE QUESTION

NE of the advocates of a government-bossed

marketing scheme says: “For'the tenant

farmer there is little hope or opportunity
of becoming a home owner under existing mar—
keting conditions. Land prices have gone beyond
his reach.” It might be pertinent to ask why
land prices are beyond reach if the present mar-
keting system is ruining farmers and destroying
agriculture as he asserts. The present market-
ing system is not perfect, in agriculture or in
other industries, but it would be wiser to con-
sider improving it rather than destroying it or
legislating into existence an untried substitute
for it. ’

A RESERVE FUND

:NE problem which cooperative organizations
may study is the accumulation of a re-
serve fund for emergencies. In theory such

an organization has no need of a reserve fund,
for all its members are to share alike its good
and ill fortune. Morover its membership is con-
stantly changing, and all members are entitled
to all the earnings at the time'they are contribut-
ing to them. Yet a reserve is a mighty handy
thing in any business enterprise, in fact is ofteh
the salvation of it.
continued success

Members who desire the ‘
of their organization will‘

waive their right to a complete distribution, so ’

that a reserve may be built up if it has not been
provided for in the original plan. No large re—
serve is needed by a cooperative body, but none
at all may be a great inconvenience sometimes.

from a New Yorktarm‘ paper that
reads as follows: . -

Loom Works is promoted by the
former proprietor of the Steber Ma-
chine 00., of the same city. The
sales plan of the loom is very simi-
lar to the work-at-home scheme
which sells knitting machines. The
advertising matter represents that
women can earn as high as $2,250
per year weaving rugs—the Lan-
sing Loom Works agreeing to buy
all rugs woven on the loom. If any
large numben of women bought
these looms and were able to oper-
ate them as easily and rapidly as 18
represented to them in the circulars
we fear the rug market would soon
be glutted. We are reliably inform—
ed the loom or rug weaver is a new
device but similar to other looms
on the market selling for about $10
each. The Lansing Loom Works
asks $.72 to $80 for the loom and
the difference of these amounts rep-
resents the sucker bait injected into
the proposition in connection with
the workeat-home scheme. It is es-
timated by rug weavers that a wo—
man working ten hours a day would
not be able to make more than ﬁve
rugs for which the Lansing Loom
Works agree to pay 250 each. Out
of the. proceeds the worker has to
pay postage and the company re-
serves the privilege of rejecting any
rugs that do not come up to its
standard of qualification. The prop-
osition is the same knitting ma—
chine fraud all over again with one
of the same promoters at the helm.
This class of advertising must now
look to the mail order papers to
give publicity to these schemes. A
number of the better class of pub-
lications have discarded the knit-
ting machine advertising and this
loom scheme is the same sort of an
alluring fraud to get up to $80 from
poor women for a. loom worth only
a fraction of this amount as com-
pared with other looms in the
trade."

We are anxiously waiting to hear
it any of our subscribers who have
had any experience with the com.-

pany.

one of our subscribers received
and sent on to us with the re-

marks “Wonder if the country is
being ﬂooded with such a letter, and
do you suppose they will ‘rake in’
the ten-spots?”

We do not doubt that many a
“ten—spot" will change hands
through the inﬂuence of this letter
and it will be what is called a “long
shot" if any of them ever ﬁnd their
way back. We are willing to grant
that the promoter may be honest
and sincerely believesin his propos—
ition, but just because this piece of
property is surrounded by produc~
tive oil wells is no indication that
he will discover a gusher. It, strikes
us that if this land promised to pro-
duce oil in paying quantities the
companies leasing or owning adjoin-
ing land would have secured con-
trol long ago. We have never gam-
bled in this way and never will be-
cause the chances are that the
other fellows know more about the
game than we do, and money does-
n’t grow on trees. When we have
any money to invest we prefer to
invest it in something substantial,
something that we can dispose of at
any time and get at least most of
our money back. And the paper
you would get for your “ten-spot"
would not sell for even one penny,
if the well was a failure.

THANKS -

to thank you for what you
arevdoing. We ﬁrst took the

and after investigating
they stated they could not ﬁnd
enough evidence to charge the com~
pany with using the mails to de-
fraud. I then told the wife to write
to THE BUSINESS FABMER about it
and we sure appreciate what you are
doing for us. A few days ago a
post ofﬁce inspector was at our 10—
cal post ofﬁce and when my wife
told him that you were handling our
claim he said, “Oh, well; if there
is anything that any dishonest com-
pany hates it is to have THE BUM-

they go up one side and down the

A DAY’S MEALS FOR THE
GROWING CHILD

HAT is your- plan for feeding»

Do you think

our child?
y indigest-

only about keeping
ible foods away from him? If so,
you are behind the times. Or do
you think ﬁrst about servmg him
the foods his body needs? If so,
you are modern and up to date.
Below are some bills of fare.for
children suggested by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
These bills of fare contain all the
things needed for their develop-
ment. Why? _
Well, ﬁrst there is at least a pint
of milk in each day’s ration. Many
children want more and can taken
without leaving out other essential
foods. Under these circumstances

' they ought to have more.

Second, there is an egg in the

.ﬁrst bill of fare and a little meat

or ﬁsh in the others. This is for

iron which milk lacks.

Third, there .is fruit in two meals
out of three. This is a good rule
to keep in mind all the time.
Fresh fruit is best—juice or pulp
for very young children. If fresh
fruit can not be obtained, dried
fruit may be used at one meal and
either a little tomato juice or a raw
green vegetable such as lettuce 1n
the other. These foods are the
watch dogs of the diet. They help
to keep off disease.

Fourth, every meal in these ra-
tions provides for “roughage”. in
some meals it is supplied by po—
tatoes. In others it is supplied by
whole-grain cereal breakfast foods
of whole-wheat bread. This means
that the food will have enough bulk
to prevent constipation.

Fifth, at one meal there is a veg-
etable other than potatoes. .

Sixth, every meal contains a little
butter or cream. Something very
'much needed by children is in but-
ter fat and it is well to give them
a little of it besides that which they
get in the milk. 

Make a list of the foods your

 child eats and see if all six of these

different knids of foods are includ—
ed each day: Milk, eggs, vegetables,
fruit, whole—grain cereals, and but-
ter or cream.

For Child of Two

Breakfast: Juice of '1/2 orange; whole—
grain cereal mush; milk 2/3 cup, or more
if wanted; toast; butter,

Dinner: Coddled egg; baked potato;
spinach;- bread; butter; pulp of cooked

Supper: Milk, 1-1/3 cups, or more if
wanted; whole—wheat bread; butter.

For Child of Five

cereal mush; milk, 1/2 pint, or more if
wanted; bread; butter.

MOTHER SAYS—
ON’T put salt in the tomatoes
until ready to serve. It makes
them sour to cook the salt in.

Boil eggs in shell 20 minutes to
make them mealy.

Always parboil navy beans in
weak soda water (soda the size of
a bean is plenty) for 15 minutes.
They will then cook more quickly
and not cause gas on the stomach.

Always put cold water in cooking
utensils as soon as they are emptied.

Always wash the glass ware ﬁrst.

Always have two dish towels, one
for glass and china and the other
for pans and kettles.

Don’t ‘put the silverware in the
bottom of the dish pan and rattle

WHOLE GRAIN \‘ CEREALS GOOD
FOR CHILDREN

among other necessary foods,
the frequent use of whole—grain
cereals in the diet, especially in
families where there are growing

A New Way To Use

N order to have good light and
I a pleasant view from a window
while working at her kitchen
cabinet, a farm woman living in
Chesterﬁeld County, Virginia, had
the top part removed and fastened
to the wall at the right side of one
of the kitchen windows. The lOWer
half, containing bins and drawers,
was set directly in front of the win—
dow and its top surface was extend—
ed on each side with a shelf mak-
ing a counter reaching two corners
of the room. These extension piec—
es were carefully‘ ﬁtted into the
availbale space and joined to the
top of the cabinet. The entire
counter was then covered with lin-‘
oleum matching that on the ﬂoor,
and varnished to resist water, heat

children who need the vitamins and
mineral substances.

For this reason such foods as
whole-wheat breads,. (not hot
breads) or breakfast foods, brown
rice, corn meal made from the en-
tire grain, and oatmeal, should ap-

‘pear on the table at frequent inter—

vals The whole-grain cereals can
be prepared in a variety of ways.
A suggested way of making whole
wheat very palatable is to cook it
in the steam pressure cooker. This
makes an excellent breakfast cereal
rich in ﬂavor and food value.

To prepare it, sort theﬂg'fa'ffi',
wash it thor-oughlynthen cover with
about two and one—half times its
volume of water, add salt, and cook
under 15 to 20 pounds pressure for
a half hour or longer if needed to
make the grains soft. A generous
dish of these thoroughly cooked
whole wheat berries with milk or
cream, and a serving of fruit, makes
an ideal breakfast, lunch or supper.
The germ and the outer layers of
the wheat grain are rich in vitamins
and minerals, while the rest is such

and grease. A little shelf was put
in under the counter on the left
hand side of the cabinet and a hole
made in the counter just above it.
When the garbage pail was set on
this little shelf it was easy to dis-
pose of vegetable parings or other
food refuse without leaving the
place where one was working. A
high kitchen stool was provided, the
wood-box was ﬁtted with casters,
and all small utensils that would
hang up were put on hooks on the
left side of the window. These im-
provements were made in connec-
tion with a kitchen contest carried
on in the county under the direction
of the extension agents of the Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.

To’LGet Rid of Ants.—-—The small ants

you. please tell me what to do to get rid
of them?—Mrs. W., DeWitt, Michigan.
--About the best way to get rid of ants
is to spray their nest' with petroleum.
The common oil is better than the reﬁned,
and usually two thorough sprayings will
do the work. Boiling water is deadly to
ants, and so is carbon disulphide injected
into the nest with- a large syringe. SOme
claim an emulsion of petroleum and water
(oil, 1 part; water, 3 parts) poured on,
the earth is an effective remedy when
plentifully used (say from 1 ounce to 3
ounces to the square yard. A friend of
mine declares she prefers to use a weak
solution of corrosive sublimate, because
it not anly kills the ants eventually, but
it seems to craze them before death, so
that ants of the same nest, after coming
in contact with the poison, will attack
each other with the greatest ferocity. If
one remedy is not successful in your case
try another.-—'Mrs. A. T.‘ ’ ‘

 

Game for-the Kiddies.—-’-Here is a game
our children enjoy that anyone can make
in a few minutes. Take a small board,
about 12 inches square, drive a small
nail in each corner and one in the center.
Then paint a number near: each nail. .It
does not matter what the ‘numbersare
just so the total of' the ﬁve; nails make
100. Now lean the board against the
wall and stand some 8 or 10 feet-away
and toss 12 can rubbers, 'one at a time,
at the nails, ringing as many as possible.
Each rubber over a nail counts the pitcher
the number painted beside that nail.
After pitching the 12 a count should be
taken and the total remembered so that
when the next player pitches a compari-.
son can be made to decide the winner,
the one getting the most points being the
champion—Mrs. D., Isabella County.

Feminine Prerogatives.‘——1. It is the
girl's—never the man’s—prerogative to
say when she and the man who has
brought her shall leave a dance. He must
wait until she gives the signal. '

2. It is a girl’s prerogative—whether
a man’s feet ache and he is breathless
or not—to refuse'to stop dancing until
the dance has come to an end.

3. It is a girl’s prerogative to sit out
a. dance rather than dance it, if she so
chooses. ' '

4. It is a girl’s prerogative not'to hunt
up her hostess and say farwell at a large
formal dance. At a small affair, when
she is near the hosteSS or passing her
and opportunity offers, it is rude not to
say a word of farewell and appreciation.

5. It is a girl‘s prerogative to refuse a.
dance to one man but (unless the dance
has been reserved by previous arrange-
ment) she cannot dance the same dance
with another man.

6. A girl has a right to look forward A

to some courteous expression of the pleas-
ure the fox-trot her partner has just
danced with her has given him. His
silence, however, does 'not necessarily imo
ply discourtesy. Her partner may be
bashful or tongue-tied. The girl may
with perfect propriety .make some tenta-
tive remark showing her own judgment
of the dance.

7. While a girl has taken the privilege
of refusing to dance with'a man, she must
always motive that refusal courteously:
“Thanks, but I think I’d better sit out
this one,” or “My card is ﬁlled—I’m so
sorry,” or “Mr. VVallcott has already put
down his name for this dance. I’m so
sorry,” should cover most cases.

8. Every girl is entitled to an apology
from a partner who arrives to claim a
dance after the music has begun. ‘

9. It is a girl’s prerogative to compel.

a man to give up his whole evening at-

a dance to her—but she is making'a very
unwise use of her prerogative by exer-
cising it. The unwilling captive will warn.
his male companions of what is-in Store
for them. ‘ 7

The Peep-Show Elam—By Padraic CO-
lum, author of “The Children’s Homer”,
“The Island of the Mighty", “The Chil-
dren Who Followed the Piper”, etc. Long
before there was a moving picture in any
town in Ireland, long before there was a.
magic lantern, or a. wax works even, here
and there a man went along the roads
carrying a box upon his back that was a
Peep-show. The children handed over a
penny fr the privilege of looking through
the peep—hole and seeing the wonders that
were shown in it. In this book there is a
Peep-show Man. He was a man who had
travelled all the roads of Ireland and who
knew many remarkable things. To one
boy he told stories that were as wonder—
ful as the scenes in his box, and he told
them in a language so remarkable, that

the boy who heard them remembered'

them for many a day. So here you have
the stories of The Princess Swallow-heart.
of The Twelve Silly Sisters that the Pooka
carried away with him, of the White
Blackbird. You have a story for Mid-
Summer Day, a story for Halloween, a
story for Easter. They are very magical
stories. such as only a far-traveled Peep—
show Man could tell you. Published by

decide to write a good letter the girls
have to hustle to beat them. Isn’t that
true boys? And Ernest’s letter is a very

A Wise Boy,

There was once a little boy named
Loraine Black. He was nine years of
age and going to school. He liked to
go to school because he loved his teacher.
He was very smart. Loraine lived in a.
beautiful country. He loved it alL the
year. In the spring he would like to go
ﬁshing. In the summer he liked to work
for his father. In the fall he liked to
gather nuts. In winter he liked to take

One day when he went to school his
teacher asked him “Loraine, would you
tell a lie for one dime?" .
“No ma‘nm,” answered Loraine.
“Would you tell a lie for fifty cents"
asked his teacher.
“NO ma’am,” Loraine replied.
"‘Would you tell a lie for one thousand
dollars?” said the teacher. ’
Loraine hesitated. One thousand dol-
lars was a great sum. He thought, he
could buy many things with 0,110 thou—
sand dollars. Then he said “No ma’am."
“And why not?” inquired the teacher.
“Because,” said Loraine “‘thn the one
thousand dollars was gone the lie would
still be there.”

~«Odeal says that she composed the above
story in bed one night after one of hr-r
playmates'had told a lie in school that
day. I think it should have ﬁrst: prize
because it contains such a good lesson.
Once we tell a lie we can 'never undo the
harm we have done—Uncle Ned.

ed. That appeals to reason as well
as faith. But we are not to forget
the emphasis of our text, that right-
eous judgment is inevitable. The
Judases are to know a hell of re—
morSe, and the one, also, who wraps
up his talent in a napkin and does
nothing is to hear, “Woe unto you."

But our chapter does not end in
darkness. All around is'the white
light of mercy. Jesus’ last words
are “Come unto me.” Find your
life in repentance. “Today, if thou
shalt hear his voice, harden not
your heart.”

 

DANISH FARMERS SHOW “'ORLD

of the tinsel of a street carnival.

The Red Danish cattle and the
Jutland, the two equally popular
dairy breeds of Denmark. were on
display. The original Red Danish
cattle before the re—organization of
agriculture were of the type that is
easily satisﬁed with any kind of
care and feed and would always
give “some milk”. They were later
built up through careful feeding.

and through breeding with cattle

from Slesvig, until now the dark
red cows, averaging about 1100
pounds in weight, make up about
half of Denmark’s “famous dairy
herd. The Jutlands are the black'
andwhite, wide, and deep—framed
cows that look much like our own
Holsteins. Most of the beef cattle
are Shorthorns. ”
“filming of Ribbons

The winning of ribbons is an im-
portant event in the life of a Dan—
ish bull. When one buys a bull in
Denmark the common practice is
to pay a certain cash sum at the
time of the sale and then to pay an
equal amount depending upon his
winning certain prizes at the next
district or “county” fair. For in-
stance, a certain bull sold near Pe-
derstrnp. $1,422 Was paid in cash
and a few weeks later when the an-
nual we ﬁrst prize at the fair an
equal am unt was paid in addition.
This bill was an exceptionally good
one, of course.

It is interesting to note that these
bulls are not Judged. and these val-
uable ribbons are not given accord-
ing ’to the ability of the ownerof
the bull to makehlm arch his back

at a certain angle or curl his hair
' with a certain wave, but accord-

in; to his actual record. The. gov,

Did Hamlet Exist?

Hamlet, the Prince oi- Denmark,
described so effectively by William
Shakespeare, is believed by many
of the Danes actually to have lived,
moved and had his being in years
gone by. Some say he is a legend
and some say he is a real corpse.
At any rate, the Grave of Hamlet,
whether he is buried there or not,
stands on a hill near “Helsingore”,
or Elsinore, which overlooks a strait
on the other side of which lies
Sweden.

Doctor Bereman looked across
the narrow body of water at the
little Swedish village on the other
side and remarked "It looks just
like Minneapolis, doesn't it—except
for'the ﬂour mills.”

Here the Danes used to hold up

the ships of other countries and
make them pay tribute to sail
through, until the Swedes in that
neighborly manner of war so com-
mon among European countries,

' made them sorry -for it.

We explored the dungeons and
mighty underground passages be—
neath this great castle where alter-
nately Danes and Swedes held their
prisoners and treated them rough.
In those damp chill, narrow cells
these Danes and Swedes were, ac-
cording to the fortunes of war,
either the lordly keepers or the un—
fortunate prisoners. And here the
victims remained with only a slit in
the wall for light, only rats and the
chill damp for company, and with
poor, hard fare to keep them barely
alive until they had time to die of
starvation, pneumonia, rheumatism
and psychology.

answering cries; but the weight and
strength of the other was hearing him
down again to his knees; he tried to slip
aside from it, to rise. Then another blow,
crushing and sickening, descended on his
head; even hearing left him and, uncon-
scious, he fell forward on to the snow
and lay still.

when NEVER CHANGED

We adopted the present Larro formula after long-time feeding
tests under .practical dairy conditions had proved the milk—
producing, condition-building qualities of its six ingredients, when
uniformly mixed in exactly the right proportion.

Every one of the millions of sacks of Larro manufactured since
that time has been made from the same six ingredients—of the
same high quality, combined in exactly the same proportions.

Every sack of Larro made in the future will contain exactly the
same proportions of these same six materials, unless experiments
and feeding tests (which we are constantly carrying on) should
prove some other combination more effecrive in the production of
milk and proﬁt for dairymen.

There never has been and never will be, in Larro, a reduction in
the amount of any ingredient and an increase in another simply
to reduce costs.

Larro isn't merely a name on a bag or tag.

It is the symbol of

unchanging high quality in feed. It is a pledge and a guarantee
that every sack bearing our trade mark may be depended upon
to be the same and to produce the same- resrzlts, no matter
when or where it is purchased. -

._ UNDER-WAY “
' HE Record ,Of

Performance,

which has been instituted by‘ 

the Dairy Department, Michi-
igan State College, is now under
way. The distinction and honor of
having the ﬁrst certiﬁcate in this
Record of Performance goes to Mr.
E. -B. Loehne, Central Lake, Michi-
gan, member of the North Antrim
Cow Testing Association.

The total -of.838 applications have
been (made for Record of Perfor-
mance Certiﬁcates with the Dairy
Department. These certiﬁcates are
a step forward in giving recogni-
tion to cows that have done well in
the Cow Testing Association work.

Information listed on the'certiﬁcate‘

of Record of Performance is valu-
able. For example, the information
on the ﬁrst certiﬁcate which goes to
Mr. E. B. Loehne shows that the
purebred cow, Bennett’s Ruby, pro-
duced 8442 pounds of milk and 484

pounds of butterfat with an average-

test of 5.74 for'tlie Association year.
This cow was more-than nine years
old at the beginning of her record
and the requirement for her age in
the Record of Performance was 400
pounds of butterfat.

In addition to the production re—
cord the certiﬁcate also gives the
pounds of feed consumed by the cow
during the Association year. Ruby
consumed: 6003 pounds of silage,
600 pounds of corn refuse, 2679
pounds of alfalfa, 577 pounds of
corn stalks, 600 pounds of potatoes,
738 pounds of corn, 457 pounds of
oats; 565 pounds of bran, 77 pounds
of rye, 159 pounds of cottonseed

meal, 95 pounds of oilmea}, and she _

was on pasture for a total of 168
days. .

Further, there are descriptive re-
marks made regarding the color,
weight and markings of this parti-
cular cow. The dates of the last
two calvngs are also given, which
will indicate whether or not the an—
imal is a breeder. From this in—
formation it is possible to determine
the proﬁtableness of_each animal.
The prospective buyer may be in—
terested and in turn he could :figure
the value of the product produced
by the cow and the cost of the feed
consumed by her from the facts
stated on the certiﬁcate. Also he
might ﬁnd in the facts given on the
certiﬁcate information why the par—
ticular cow did well in some other
owner’s hands but not so well in
his own hands in that the feeding
conditions were not as good as those
of the previous owner’s.

Similar certiﬁcates are being sent
out to many other Michigan dairy—
men. Over 400 of these certiﬁcates
have been completed and mailed.
These certiﬁcates are signed by 0.
E. Reed, Professor of Dairy Hus-
bandry and A. C. Baltzer, in charge
of Cow Testing Associations.

A booklet is also being drawn up
which will list each cow that is in
the Record of Performance. In ad-
dition this booklet will list herd
where more than 50 per cent of the
cows have made the Record 0" Per-
formance requirements. These herds
will be given special recognition in
this booklet. A further point of
value will be the listing of purebred
sires that have ﬁve daughters which
have qualiﬁed in the Record of Per-
formance. These sires will be list—
ed as proven sires.

Additional entry blanks are being
received from time to time by the
Dairy Department from Cow Test-
ing Association members whose cows
have made the requirements for
butterfat production. _

The age requirements are as fol-
lows:

1. Cows starting record under 3
years of age must produce 280
pounds of more of butterfat.

2. Cows starting record under 4
years of age must produce 310
pounds. of more of butterfat.

3. Cows starting record under 5
years of age must produce 350
pounds of more of‘ butterfat.

4. Cows starting record when 5'

years of age or older, or‘when age
is not known, must produce 400
pounds of butterfat.-——-A. C. Baltzer,

gan State College. . .

 lots of ten calves each have
boon fed experimentally for six
months to determine the most eco-
nomicalwmethods of fattening calves

 
 

Lot one has been self fed on
grain, with oilmeal as a protein
supplement, and corn silage and al-
falfa hay ad libitum. Lot two re—
ceived a lighter grain ration with
the same amount of oilmeal and
more silage and alfalfa. Lot three
was fed the same as lot two except
that no oilmeal was fed.

Swine Experiments

Two series of pig feeding experi—
ments are well along in progress
and will be studied. One series of
ﬁve lots of pigs is being used in
searching for the best method of
feeding rye proﬁtably. Also the
value of yeast in the ration is be—
ing studied.

In the other series, of ﬁve lots,
the pigs are receiving different
amounts of cull beans as the pro—'
tein supplement to corn.

Horse Feeding Experiment

One years work has been com—
pleted in feeding corn and alfalfa.
to work horses. For the past sea—
sin corn has been a short crop, and
barley is more plentiful. In feed—
ing alfalfa as a roughage, a grain
high in carbohydrates and fat
should be used. Twenty work hors—
es are being fed as follows: Seven
are receiving barley and alfalfa,
seven are receiving oats and alfalfa,
and six are receiving oats and bar—
ley with alfalfa.

The program will begin promptly
at 10:30 A. M. Eastern Standard
time, with a trip to the piggery,
when the swine feeding trials Will
be studied. From there a short trip
to the horse barns for a look at the
stallions, mares and foals, and back
to the work horse barn for a dis—
cussion of the rations on trial.

Immediately after lunch, the calf
feeding pens will be visited and the
results presented.

At 2:30 P. M. Dr. Shaw, Director
of the Agricultural Experiment Sta—
tion will discuss experiments in
progress in the various departments
of the College, and their practical
application on the Michigan farms.

Professor J. T. Horner, of the De—
partment of Economics, will con-
clude the program with a talk on
“How the farmer can study market
statistics and their relation to price
ﬂuctuations”.

BEARING EARLY CHICKS
By C. G. CARD

Acting Head, Department of Poultry
Husbandry, M. A. C.

HERE has been an increased in-
terest lately, in the problems in—
volved in feeding young chick-

ens. A number of investigators have
been experimenting with chickens
reared indoors, under artiﬁcial con—
ditions, and the result of their work
has great value for poultrymen who
must hatch and feed chickens at sea-
sons when the young birds can not be
sent out of doors. Their chief con—
clusion is that the problems of indoor
rearing is very largely a problem in
feeding. Almost everything of which
the chick is deprived when kept in-
doors can be supplied him in his ra-
tion.

Early broilers always sell at a high
price because the available supply is
less than the market demands. This
is 'true because they are produced
out of season, when all the opera-
tions attending their production are
rendered mor'e difﬁcult and expensive
than during the spring and summer
months. Hatching eggs are scarce
and high priced, and they are likely
to be, low in fertility and hatchabil-
ity. '

It requires ten to twelve weeks
to grow broilers so they will average
one and a half to two pounds,._the
weight. that seems to be desired on
the market. To‘obtain this weight,
at a time when the maximum price
not pound is paid, means that the
hawks:th be hatched during the

‘ instants: J‘snuary;or the month, or

they should hatch.

ture of 103 degrees F., and for the
ﬁrst four or ﬁve weeks after hatch-
ing warmth is one of the most essen-
tial requirements. Perfectly hatched
chicks plus perfect rations will not
insure success unless the tempera-
ture conditions are satisfactory for
the comfort of the chick. The brood-
er stove should be regulated for sev-
eral days so that it will maintain a
temperature of 90 degrees‘xF. when
the bulb of the thermometer is plac-
ed on the ﬂoor at the outer edge of
the hover.

The ﬂoor of the brooder heuse
should be covered with litter of cut
straw, shavings, alfalfa leaves or
similar material, to a depth of one
inch. Placing an inch or two of sand
.on the ﬂoor is often helpful in early
season brooding, in holding the tem—
perature more uniform, and will also
.make the cleaning of the house
somewhat easier.

The' chief differences in the diet
and environmental conditions of the
indoor as contrasted with the out—
of—door chicks, as usually fed, con-
sist in the food which the out-of-
door chick ﬁnds for itself (greens,
roughage, dirt, bugs, etc.), the great-
er amount of direct sunlight to which
it is exposed, and the greater oppor-
tunities for exercise which it has.

Experiments by Halpin at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, Card, Univer-
sity of Illinois, and others, show that
the ﬁrst two factors, i. e., elements in
natural food, and sunlight, are the
chief causes of the superiority and
better growth of the out-of—door
chicken. When these are supplied to
chickens growing indoors, they can
be reared to maturity with no more
exercise than that allowed in an en-
closure providing one to two square
feet of ﬂoor space per bird.

The problem of the man who pro—
duces early broilers or who must
rear chicks in conﬁnement is to ﬁnd
out and then to supply the necessary

chick is usually deprived.

The old viewpoint on animal feed-
ing, emphasized only heat and total
protein as the necessary factors. The
modern View is that a ration to be
adequate for growth and reproduc-
tion, mustcontain an abundance of
heat (digestible carbohydrates and
fats) proteins of the right quality, a
suitable mineral mixture, some bal—
last or indigestible material and in
addition, the vitamines. '

A practical ration meeting these
requirements, has been prepared by
Halpin at the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture, and has given unusually
excellent and uniform results. This
ration consists of 80 parts of yellow
corn, 20 parts of wheat middlings, 5
parts of raw bone,. (about 50 per
cent calcium phosphate), 5 parts
of pearl grit (calcium carbonate), 1
part of common salt, and skimmed
milk used freely. This ration is fed
as a dry mash with the milk as a
drink. No water is allowsd. With-
out the water allowance 3. more gen-
erous amount of skimmed milk will
be consumed. There is no scratch
or green feed provided.

Direct sunlight plays an important
part in animal life including the
chicken. The rays that are effective
in the prevention of rickets are those
of short wave length. Ordinary win—
dow glass absorbs these rays and
consequently a room well lighted
through ordinary windows is about
as effective as an underground cellar
so far as its ability to prevent rick—
ets is concerned. It is the direct sun:
light of the out—doors and not the
fresh ground or green grass that are
the effective preventativeso Vof leg
weakness in chickens. The above
ration plus direct sunlight is a com—
plete ration for chick rearing. It
needs no further supplement, not
even eggs, cod liver oil, or green ma-
terial.

Increased Corn Acreage Planted’l‘hisSpring  '5.22.1.2?diff‘i’ivl'ﬁi‘hé‘h“1133.20

Every Farmer Should Ou'm Flock-of Sheep  .
By w. W. rooms, Market Editor. a

ARMERS are as busy as a hive
of bees, and spring work will

‘ keep them so until the corn
planting time is over. There is dif-
ference of opinion as to the corn
acreage of course, but without
doubt it will be large, particularly
in the numerous corn districts
where the crop turned out poorly
last year». In the corn belt states
farmers depend mainly on corn and
live stock, and greatly on hogs, and
it is essential therefore that they
should grow their own feed and not
buy from other farmers, as so many
had to do this season. Exports of,
corn do not cut a very important
ﬁgure at any time, being approxi—
mately 20 per cent of the corn
grown. and to feed our fast growing
population, farmers are obliged to
prepare more pork, beef and mut—
It is Well

= to remember that the population of

the United States is now 113,500.—
000, according to ﬁgures based on
census returns. Since the census of
1920 the increase is estimated at
over 1.500.000 a year, a total gain
of 8,000,000. pointing to a home de—
mand for upward of 8 per cent. more
food than in 1920. The poverty
throughout Europe. resulting from

v the war causes decreased exports or
, food from this country, but the ag-

gregate is still large. On the other
hand, it is well to note the fact that
there has been a decrease in the
number of people engaged in the
production of food in this country.
Our Michigan farmers are very
largely interested in the production
of wheat, beans and potatoes, as
well as in beet root sugar, grapes
and fruits, and in the long run these
are important sources of proﬁt. it
may be added that many of our
farmers are more than ever before
making it their aim to produce as
much as possible of food used by
their families. Another matter of
interest is the extensive develop-
ment of the highly proﬁtable sheep
industry. If a word of advice is ac-
ceptable. I would say, if you are
owning no well-bred sheep, get, busy
and buy some good hardy ewes and
bucks.
The Wheat Outlook

The winter wheat crop this year
Will total 444,833,000 bushels, com-
pared with 590,037,000 bushels last
year, according to the estimate of
the department of agriculture, the
rye crop will yield 57,698,000 bush-
els, against 63,446,000 bushels last
year, according to the department’s
report. Despite the abnormally
small winter wheat crop this year,
its value to the farmers on the basis
of present farm prices is greater
than the relatively large crop last
year. This year’s crop at present
prices is worth $632,000,000, com-
pered to $565,000,000 for last
year’s crop. Stocks of hay on farms
May 1 are estimated at 15,679,000

tons, compared with 12,835,000
tons on May 1, 1924.
As every wheat farmer knows

from his personal experience, prices
this year have been largely the re-
sult of speculation. covering an ex—
tremely wide range, soaring early to
around $2.07 a bushel and falling
later to around $1.40. Recently
prices have undergone marked im-
provement, the statistical showing
and bad crop reports causing good
up-turns and active buying. Where
prices will ultimately land is hard
to tell, but good authorities regard
wheat as worth at least $1.60, if
not more. The other grains follow
wheat in its ﬂuctuation, as usual,
but speculative interest is still in
wheat. Not only wheat sells at far
higher prices than at this time in
1924, but all the other grains except
oats sell away higher, the price of
oats being depressed by the exces-
sive marketing by farmers. A short
time ago the visible oats supply in
the United» States aggregated over
44,000,000 bushels, comparing with
481.082.1109. “Jimmie: a

 

k earlier. :-.

and only 9,280,000 bushels a year

ago. At the same time visible wheat

supply Was 43,464,000 bushels, com-
paring with. 48,120,000 ‘bushels a
year ago; that of corn 21,158,000
bushels, comparing with 17,454,000
bushels a year ago; and that of rye
11,500,000 bushels, comparing with
19,717,000 bushels a year ago. *Ac-
cording to the government report,

the three big southwestern states,

Kansas, .Nebraska and Oklahoma.
are expected to harvest only 162,—
000,000 bushels or wheat, a short-
age of 101,000,000 bushels from
last year. The carry over of wheat
to the next crop year is expected to
be less than that of last year, and
the world’s carry over will show
a large falling off.

“You would think that America
has lost its business sense trying to
market its old and new wheat crop
as cheaply as possible,” Julius H.
Barnes is quoted as saying in a re-
view of the world’s situation. “The
whole world’s basis is ready .to re-
spond to any advance in prices and
strip us of our crop anyway.” Mr.
Barnes refers to the estimate of the
U. S. department of . agriculture
showing that the world’s carry over
may be reduced to 125,000,000
bushels on July 1, which he thinks
is the lowest on record, and indi-
cates that last year’s crop was con-
sumed in spite of economy and high
prices, plus 160,000,000 bushels
from the previous year’s surplus.
Wheat is passing
hands at the highest premium of
the crop and American mills will
feel that the exports are stripping
us within four weeks.

Late sales were made for May de-
livery of wheat at $1.71, comparing
with $1.05 a year ago; corn at
$1.12, comparing with 76 cents a
year ago; oats at 46 cents compar—
ing with 47 cents a year ago; and
rye at $1.22, comparing with 65
cents a year ago.

Wild Hog Market

Such wildly excited and variable
hog markets as those of recent days
are extremely unusual, being due
mainly to meager oﬁerings at ﬁrst,
followed by excessive supplies later,
these being the natural result of
early booms in prices. In a single
day the Chicago hog prices broke
from 50 to 70 cents, and in two
days prices were of! more than a
dollar. This is certainly going it

into exporters’ ”

   
 

marked gains over-those ter. recent
weeks, while" smaller than one and
two years ago. But despite the se—
vere ,declines in prices, hogs still
sold for higher than in recent years,
having brought. $0.60 to $7.60 one
year ago and 30.20 to $7.95 two
years ,ago. Butcher hogs weighing
from 180 to 250 pounds topped the
market, selling 20 cents above the
best light bacon boss. .The best
hogs sold at the week’s Close at
$12.25, comparing with 312.6511
week earlier.
Spring Pig Crop

The Chicago Evening Post says:
“Early reports from hog raisers in
the corn belt indicate a good crop of
pigs this spring. Several Iowa and

‘Illinois farmers here with stock this

week state that they are having un-
usual luck with their pigs this sea-
son, which they'attribute mainly to
the favorable weather. The mortal-
ity thus far has been exceptionally
small. Government reports made
last fall showed that soWs had been
marketed so closier that fewer were
bred and it was predicted that the
crop of pigs this spring would be at
least 25 per cent short of last year
on that account. It is believed that
good weather this spring will mod-
ify that estimate considerably.”
The Cattle Market

How near the Department of Agri-
culure was to forming a right state-
ment in its ofﬁcial report of the large
falling off in the number of cattle in
feeding districts is a matter in’which
opinions differ widely, but there is
no doubt as to the super abundance
of supplies marketed in western
packing“ points recently, and the re-
ceipts in seven western markets for
the year to date aggregate 3,444,000
head, comparing with 3,531,000 for
the corresponding time last year and
3,542,000 two years ago—mot such a
large falling off. There have been

*recent sharp declines’in prices in the-

Chicago market, with the bulk of the
beef steers selling for $8.75 to $10.50,
the extreme range of sales being
from $8 to $9 for the common lots
to $10 to $10.75 for the better class
of heavy steers, with sales of the
choice kinds of yearlings at $10.25 to
$11.25. A few inferior little steers
sold for $5 to $7.75, while butcher
cows and heifers brought $4.60 to $11,
and a short time ago prime Angus
yearling heifers brought $11.40. Bulls
sold at $4.25 to $8.25, canner cows
and cutters at $3.25 to 4.50 and
calves at $5 to $11 per 10 pounds.

. The stocker and feeder trade was ac-

tive to the extent of the moderate
offerings at $6 to $8.25, sales being

The growth of thev‘oarlyffsxiring

lamb crop during April continued ex-"
ceptionally good and: in nearly? up,

areas the May 1- condition ,‘was the
best in some years; according to the
report of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Except for the

last week, theweather during April

was unusually mild, with much sun-
shine. Pastures made good growth
everyWhere

plentiful. The market. movement

from all important areas will prob- .

ably be nearly two Weeks earlier than
last year. In California feed condi-
tions remained excellent and the bulk

of the early lambs is,ymaturing,’trap- '

idly.
unusually large, and 'to May 1 about
130,000 lambs, live and dressed, had
been shipped east. Shipments dur—
mg May are estimated at around
200,000 head, with the peak loadings

during the second week--- The total '

eastern movement will probably be
larger than the ﬁrst estimate of
around 300,000 live and dressed.
The early Arizona lambs have moved
freely and total shipments may reach
50,000 head. In the southeastern
states weather and feed cOnditions
were usually good during April. In
Tennessee the—condition of the early
lambs is the best in some years. An
exceptionally good lot of market
lambs is expected due to better care
as well as to have favorable weather
and feed. Marketing in volume will
start early in May and the total
shipments from the state are esti-
mated at around 175,000. The lambs
in Kentucky and Virginia also gained
rapidly during April and an early
movement is anticipated. The
weather to the endzof April in .Mis—
souri was the  'favorable for
raising lambs in some years. Losses
have been light andthe percentage
of lambs saved is large. Consider—
able shipments will be' made "the lat-
ter part of May and the June ship-
ments will be large. Other early
lambing areas in the corn belt report
an exceptionally favorable season ond
recent rains forecast a continuation
of the good pasturage conditions.
The lamb crop is everywhere reported
as large and the conditions high.
In the far northwest, rains in April
improved range feed prospects ma-
terially in the dry areas and good
feed for the next two months seems
assured. In Idaho the early lamb
crop made excellent growth and if
present conditions continue, the mar—
ket movement may beearlier than
last year. In Washington needed
rains have greatly improved range
conditions, but early lambs are not
quite as good as on May 1, last year.
During the last days of April a cold-
spell accompanied by snow andrrain

_ prevailed over large areas of the

Mountain states. The storm_ was
hard on late lambing ﬂocks and con—
siderable losses of young lambs are
reported from some of these sec-
tions. Indiana wool prices are 20
per cent lower than a year ago, as

shown by the recent survey made by ~-

the Indiana Sheep Breeders’ Asso-
ciation.

WHEAT

The Detroit market opened easy
the ﬁrst of last week but before the
close on Saturday it was strong and
prices higher for the week. There
is some talk' of $2 wheat but belief
that the price will again reach that
level before another crop is not
very general. The new crop needs

rain in many sections.

A slight improvement in the tone

and more optimism is being shown
among the trade, though prices con—
tinue normal. Manufacturers seem
to be taking more of an interest in
the market and inquiry is fair.

Week of May 24
1TH a rather extensive and
high barometric pressure ex-
pected over most western,
middle west and lake states
at beginning of this week, we see a
few days of fair but cool weather.

On or immediately after the mid—
dle of this week, temperatures will
have returned to more normal (3011-.
ditions and as a result cloudiness
will increase followed by mere or
less general and plentiful precipitav
tion.

These rains will cease before Sa-
turday allowing the week to end
with fair days and clear nights and
close to normal temperatures.

Week of May 81

The last storm period of last
week may stage a reaction at very
beginning of,this week in which
event there will be a day or so of
rains but if this does not transpire,
look for generally fair weather up
to about the middle of this week.

All during central days of this
week there will be numerous show-
ers in many parts of the state. Tem-
peratures during any part of the
week are not expected to be high
but after, this storm area passes
east of Michigan, readings will be
even lower, ranging below normal
near the close of the week.

“RAISE MORE BEETS" SAYS COX

UGAR beet acreage in Michigan is
likely to be less this year than
last according to Prof. J. F. Cox,

head of the farm creps department
at the Michigan State College. Prof.
Cox however believes that economic
conditions are favorable to the plant-

ing of sugar beets and asserts that —

beets are usually a safe crop if some
study is given production and mar-
ket factors.

“In spite of the fact that this year
has been an unusual year for the
preparations of seed beds for sugar
beets”, says Professor Cox, “It is ap—
parent that the acreage will not
quite equal that of last year, unless

' more farmers in the next week or so

conclude that beets are a safe crop.

“Apparently some have been de;
terred from planting due to an—
nouncement, of large reserves of
sugar abroad and comparatively low
prices prevailing at the present time.
It should be kept in mind that the
per capita consumption of sugar has
increased in the past ﬁve years in the
United States from 85 to 126 pounds
per person, and also that sugar beet
acreage in the great western sugar
producing states is much less this
year, due to serious inroads of nema—
todes and beet diseases in western
states last year. The European
acreage is also reported to be lower.
Present reserves will rapidly melt
away.

“Contracts are being offered Mich-
igan farmers for sugar beets this
year similar to those of the past
year, with a minimum of $7 a ton
assured growers, and increases above.
that based on sugar prices. Great
elements or risk that occur to other
ﬁeld crops do not exist in the case of
beets. Labor conditions have im—
proved, and there will be plenty of
labor available to sugar companies
to fulﬁll their part of the contract
in growing the beet crop. as well as
more labor for the farmers. Should
we have another cold, wet summer
and fall, the beet crop would thrive
,under such conditions, while corn
and beans would be injured.

“Beans, beets, and potatoes have
been a great three-horse team for
Michigan farmers. Best results will
be secured if they kept pulling even-
ly in the harness; in other words,—,
it is not advisable to plant too large
anvacreage of beans and potatoes at

the expense of the beet crop where

   

these crops compete. . Just at present

You farmers know, better than anyfclassof - f  l
people, the financial'security of real estate investment! " ' . i

Almost every farmer in Michigan sorrowfully
whines, “If I had only bought this, that or the other piece of
Detroit real estate!” . . ‘

Many thousands of investors 1n Amerlca «are
turning to the Glover Watson organization with their Amoney .
because we are the largest holder of Dearborn property except- i
ing Henry Ford himself! 4 ‘

Dearborn IS the center, heart and core of Mr. \
Ford’s gigantic industrial activities! It is the site of his execu-

tive ofﬁces and home of his $2,000,000.00 engineering laborator- ,

ies; the place where he has located the ﬂying ﬁeld around which

he will develop commercial aviation; Dearborn, the scene of his
inventive enterprise oflers the'ﬁnest real estate investment in . ~
America to-day.

There are upwards of 60,000 people working .
for Mr. Ford now within site of this property and that plant is . I;
but half completed! x , . 3

You are offered, here, a real opportunlty and it
is now squarely your responsibility to learn the whole story. A‘
postal card telling us of your interest, will receive immediate at-
tention and will not obligate you in any way. , '
