“ OT more potatoes——but better '

Western Michigan Potato As-

Perhaps too much attention has been
devoted to increasing the acreage and

So, in the future, as in the past, Michigan
crops and products will ﬂow out and suppli

EXPERT ADVISES FARMERS TO
TAKE CARE OF'WOOL

ETTER care in the production

and preparation ' of wool for

market on the part of farmers
of this country would bring them
thousands of dollars of additional
revenue every year. This is the
conclusion of J. F. Walker of the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, who
has just completed a trip of investi-
gation through a large number, of
woolen mills in the eastern part of
the United States.

“Sorters at mills are paid 'on an
average of about a cent a pound
more for handling wool produced in
this country than they are for sort-
ing those from ,Australia or South
America," says Mr. Walker. "‘On
these imported wools practically all

eign matter is eliminated before it
is offered for sale. Onelarge mill
visited has ceased to buy Ohio wool

-. and is buying all imported wool

because of the saving in waste."

,WILL HANDLE 50,000 BALE

UR (thousand bales of cotton.
have already been delivered to
the Louisiana Farm Bureau
Cotton Growers Association. Hun-
dreds of bales are coming in every
day. G. L. Wooley: secretary mana-
ger, estimates that the association
will handle 50,000 bales this year.
To date the deliveries are prac-
tically double that or the same per-
iod last season. Fifteen cents has
been advanced immediately on all
shipments of cotton.

and a business concern familiar with
marketing in the selling of the pro-
duct

We feel that, estimating conserv-
atively, had 75% instead of about
40% of the Great Northern beans
grown in Southern Idaho been sold
through the Association the net to
the growers would have been at least,
25c per cwt more, or added to their
proﬁt $3.00 per acre, or increase the

' value of the bean crop of this section

by approximately $100,000.00.

We thoroughly believe that sens-
ible, sane, enduring, (not ﬁtful) co-
operation will eventually prove a
cure-all for our troubles-and that
for a cooperative organization to be
a success it must be willing to grow
gradually to the larger accomplish-
ments it desires to attain and have
honest, intelligent and efﬁcient man—
agement. We do not feel that we
need federal aid except to safeguard

our business transactions and enable
us to ﬁnance ourselves on terms sim-

ilar to those of other business organ-

izations.
“Interested in Michigan
I am very much interested in the
cooperative efforts of the Michigan
bean growers and I know, from the

four years experience of the South—'

ern Idaho Bean Growers Ass’n, that
these efforts are along proper lines.

Now, because we have made some
mistakes and met with a fair degree
of success. I am sure some of our
conclusions as to what is proper
and what not proper in the workings
of a cooperative bean growers asso-
ciation would be, at least, of inter—
est to our Michigan friends.

We are convinced, ﬁrst of all, that
the agreement between the grower
and the association must cover a
period of three or more years and
that it must include a provision re-

 

 

FEDERAL GRADES FOR BEANS

HE Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the U. S. Department of

’ Agriculture has issued tentative U. S. standardsfor bcans.

The

grades are somewhat differ-cut than those submitted at the meet-
ing of Michigan bean interests in Lansing last April, having been re-
vised to include constructive suggestions made by the trade, both
privately and at public hearings, and they are designed to give the

most accurate and equitable basis of determining- quality.

Fact 01's

are deﬁned and their limits are dcﬁnitcly ﬁxed so that the grades may

be rigidly applied.

This eliminates ﬂexible

tolerances which when

i left to the individfial judgment of inspectors or others intcrprctjng

the grades permit wide variations in the results.

‘ beans are as follows:

The grades for pea

No. 1, shall be well scrccncd and good natural color and appear-
ance, containing not more than one and one-half pcr ccnt total split
and damaged beans with not over two hundredths of one per cent

of foreign material.

No. 2,.shall be, well screened and may be slightly off color, contain-

’ ing not more than one tenth of one per cent of other beans, and not
more than one tenth of one per cent of foreign material.

No. 3, may be dull or of poor color, containing not more than ﬁve

per cent total split and damaged beans, not more than one half of

one per cent of other beans, and not more than one half of one per

cent of foreign material.

quiring the delivery of all the mem-
ber’s beans to the association, A
satisfactory organization cannot be
maintained for a shorter period and
it is very necessary that we know
to ,a reasonable degree of certainty
the quantity of beans to be stored,
cleaned and sold during a season.
From our experience, I do not be-
lieve the plan of members selling
a part of their beans for cash and
pooling the balance through an as—
sociation would work out succsss—
fully. The volume of association
beans must be large enough to be a
real factor in the bean market. We
consider that we should control at
least ﬁfty per cent of the Great
Northern beans produced in this dis—
trict.

Our success thus far, we feel, is
largely due to the arrangement we

have with an established business
organization experienced in the
handling and selling of beans. The

association members grow the beans
and our selling agents store, clean,
insure and sell them under a deﬁn-
ite contract price and under the
close supervision of the association's
directors, who are in all matters
supreme. These selling agents han-
dle and sell only association’s beans
and, where possible, under an asso—
ciation brand. Though our present
contract does not so require, I feel
that all correspondence in reference
to sales should be on association

stationery.
Advanoc to Members
Under the conditions which pre-
vail here, we consider that an ad—

vance must be made to our mem—
bers of at least one cent per pound
on delivery of their beans and fur-
ther advances made as fast as the
sale of beans will justify. \Ve have
usually paid three cents by Decem—
ber lst and made a ﬁnal settlement
by March 1st. To make the early
advances we secure the necessary
funds by short time loans from our
local banks; longer loans from the
Federal Intermediate Credit 'Bank
and by discounting bills of lading.

ately $1,000.00 in interest on these

- A Few Remarks on Michigan’s New Fruit Grading Laws

By HERBERT NAFZIGER

‘3 ’ 0L DING it! Now I’ll have to
buy a peck measure full of
rubber stamps and learn the

law all over again. These fruit
grading laws are just like them pet
lizards that change color every so
often. Every time you look at ’em
they’re different.”

Having gotten all this off his
chest, my neighbor, Ed McIntosh,
cheerfully bought the necessary

stamps and proceeded to obey the
law to the letter.
_ Ed McIntosh was wise. He knows,
as does every intelligent fruit grow-
ver, that an adequate, well enforced
grading law is the _very life blood
of his business.

George F. Waldo, of Cornwallis,
Oregon, said: ,

. ‘.‘Throughout the Northwest the
various Grower’s Cooperative Asso—
ciations have long maintained local
men for inspecting packing houses,
and fruit coming into storage for
grade and condition.

“These associations through their
inspectors, tried to keep their
grades‘uniform for their entire pack
throughout the season. Fruit leav-
ing the-storage for eastern ship-
ment was also inspected for condi-
tion and to recheck the grade.

“Some associations at the present
time issue certiﬁcates to buyers up-
on . such, inspection. This service
has in many cases been veryeﬂici-
out. The grading rules of most as—
sociations are higher than those
laid down by the States. It has been
largely through the efﬁciency of
this system that the western boxed
apples have built up a reputation
for uniformity ofwgradeand quality
in eastern markets.” '.Notice that

q vertising Michigan fruit. ..
{icing-v is undoubtedly essential to

laws but they even go them one
better.
Ultra strict grading laws are

sometimes a source of regret to a
grower who has a large lot of all
kinds of fruit to sell. However, as
business farmers we must look the
facts in the face. We must improve
or revise our cultural practices in
such ways as will enable us to grow
a high percentage of the better
grades of fruit and then we must
grade and pack our fruit as well as
or better than our stiffest competi-
tors. '

To sayvthat Michigan apple grow-
ers are up against strong and ever
increasing competition from the
Northwest is perhaps a trite render-k
but trite sayings are usually true
ones and if we are going to hang
onto the best apple trade against
the Northwest we must do as they
do. This" also holds good with our
grape growers as regards competié‘
tion from California and New York,
and maﬁy other branches of the in-

one cent is spent for advertising,
before a single line of publicity is
printed, We must be certain that we
are offering goods which will re-
ceive and merit the approval and
admiration of our customers.

To glowingly advertise an infer-
ior article would be to deliberately
establish a reputation as cheats and
liars and an enormous eﬁort would
then be necessary to eradicate the
sour taste from the mouths of our
customers. '

Don’t you think then that my

neighbor, Ed McIntosh, is right in
his belief that an adequate and well
enforced grading law is the life
blood of his business?
‘ Changes in grades are naturally
irritating and inconvenient for the
grower and sometimes the reasons
for the changes are hard to under—
stand. However, we must remem-
ber that no man—made thing was
ever perfect and undoubtedly many
future changes will be needed be-
fore our grades are right.

Any fruit grower who has not
seen a copy of the new grading laws
can. obtain copies for the asking by

' ity of last year’s record yields
the recent Michigan wheat
'arvest has brought with it much
formation which should be worth
hile at planting time.
vThree varieties have apparently
stablished themselves in the esteem
. f the farmers of Michigan. Those
haying fertile soils of the heavier
type are doing best with Michigan’s
famous leader, Red Rock. David
‘Kﬁiker, of Palmyra, had a 22 acre
field of this variety yield 36 bushels
per acre and a smaller one 27%,
despite Southern, Michigan’s dry
spring. ’Dry weather is particularly
adverse to Red Rock, too, because
of its large kernel, but on soils Well-
drained, yet retentive of moisture,
this wheat apparently has yet to
“ﬁnd its equal for consistent yielding
ability.

, The new Berkeley Rock wheat, a
bearded hard red winter variety, is
'also destined to become popular in
Michigan. Berkeley Rock is the re-
'sult of a cross between Red Rock.
a soft red winter wheat and Berke-
ley, a hard red winter type. The
late Professor F. A. Spragg, selected
out a pure line of Berkeley Rock
having the short dark red berry of
hard wheat, the winter hardiness of
its Berkeley parent, and with it the
stiff straw and productivity of Red
Rock. He had in mind the low—lyv
ing heavy soils of the Thumb dis—
trict when he bred this variety and
red wheat growers of that section
and the Saginaw Valley have found
it very satisfactory.

In bringing out Berkeley Rock
Wheat the plant breeders incident—
ally developed with it another very
desirable characteristic. This new
wheat is apparently smut proof. Dr.

G. H. Coons of the plant pathology-

department of Michigan State Col—
lege has tested it for stinking-smut
resistance three years. The seed of
several varieties Was thoroughly in—
fected with smut spores and planted
side by side. Nearly all wheats were
badly smutted except Berkeley
Rock. This had only two or three
per cent smutted heads when other
varieties similarly treated were sev-

nty to eighty per cent diseased.
Dr. Coons states that for practical
purposes Berkeley Rock .,wheat is
essentially immune to stinking
smut.

Field inspectors for the Michigan
Crop Improvement Association‘ e-
lieve that Berkeley Rock is also im—
mune or at least quite resistant to
loose smut, the disease that black—
ens the heads just as they are form—
ing and leaves only bare stems. In

the three years the Michigan Crop
Improvement Association has been
inspecting and certifying this wheat

hardly a head of loose smut has'

been found. Herbert Mueller, Sag-
inaw farmer, has this‘to say ‘of Ber—
keley Rock, “Berkeley Rock wheat
is no longer in the experimntal
stage and may be recommended to
Michigan farmers entirely on its
merit. My ﬁeld is entirely, free of
smut while other wheats in‘this lo-
cality are badly infested.”

Brown Brothers, of Ithaca, have
had unusual successwith the Berke—
ley Rock variety. In 1924 their
yield was 45 bushels per acre. This
year a ﬁve acre ﬁeld did better than
30 bushls per acre. Spring drought

frenzy of the wildest night life and
most reckless dehaucheriewthat old
wise, wicked city of Paris will pro—
vide for it all.

Our experiences in driving our
own car, the Old Gray Goose, in rur—
al England and in London had been
so completely satisfactory that our
editorial party discussed the advis—
ability of repeating the stunt during
our two week’s Visit in Paris, buy—
ing a second-hand jitney and then
selling it again just before leaving
town. But everywhere the people
who had been .in Paris advised
against it.

“You don’t know Paris,” they
said, and we admitted that. “You’d
never be able to get around—you
wouldn’t know where to go and you
couldn’t drive your car there if you
did; you wouldn't be able to handle
it." I took that last remark per—
sonally when two American ladies
that we had met in Amsterdam scof-
fed a: my suggestion of driving a
car in Paris and said that I couldn’t
handle a car there.

“Why, I’ve driven a car in most
of the big cities of the United States
including Los Angeles, San Fran-
cisco, Chicago and New York City,”

I told them, “and. I ’ve been through
the most congested districts at the
hours when street traﬁic was at its
height, and I’ve never scratched a
fender. I herded the old rGray
Goose through the maze of London’s
left-handed trafﬁc with my passen—
gers going to sleep in the seat be—
side me. Listen. Have you ridden
in automobiles in all of those cities
yourself?” I asked them.

“You ain’t seen nothing yet!”
This was the emphatic opinion of
them all, and we couldn’t under-
stand it—until we had seen it. And
then we all decided that until one
sees the trafﬁc in the streets of Paris
he has never really seen busy street
traﬂic at all. He may have seen
streets so crowded with cars that
there was not room for another one,
but in Paris all of these cars, crowd-
ed as they are, are tearing along at
breakneck speed and making room
for more. It is a fright!

When we ﬁnally landed in that
much-touted city at the Gare—du—
Nord, we piled the most of our bag—
gage in one taxicab with “Dean”
Hopkins to guard it, then Colonel
Cobb, the leader of on); party, and
most of the other men climbed into

Probably no variety of wheat has
added more new followers recently
than AmericanBanner. This is a
bald white wheat of long standing
but its prominence has been more
recent, coming up with the demand
for white winter wheat on the part
of food products companies and pas-
try ﬂour millers of ,this state.

American Runner" is the light land
wheat growers’ friend. It does not
require the great supply of nitrogen
and organic matter needed to devel—
op the harder red wheats, though
of course, the better the land the
better the yield. In '1925 American
Banner has led other varieties in the
tests because it has been‘better able
to withstand the adversities of the
season. W. E. Eckerson, Route 4,
_Jackson, Clarence Heinlein, Vassor,
and ,R. E. Hebeler, Burt, all secured
better than 30 bushels per acre with
American :‘Banner this year and their
wheat all tests over 60 pounds per
bushel, an unusually good weight
for White wheat. The average yield
for all American Banner wheat
growers in the Michigan Crop Im—
provement "Association this year is
29 bushels pertacre, while Floyd
Walworth, of Corunna, reports an
Almerican Banner yield of 39 bush-
e s.

Growers of white wheat in Mich-
igan need no longer feel that their
product will be discriminated against
on the market. [In ‘ most places
white Wheat is bringing the same
prices as the better grades of red
and for the past two or three years
there has been a tendency to even
'pay a premium of two or three cents
per bushel for good pure soft white
wheat like American ‘Banner.

American Farm Boy Decides Paris is the “Capital” of Europe

the next cab in line and Cobb gave
to both drivers the name of our ho-
tel where reservations had been
made—rand their ﬁrst taxi ride in
Paris was on!

Doctor Bereman and I got into
the next taxi in line and when the
driver asked us in French, “Where
to?” which didn’t sound like any-
thing I’d ever heard in the class
room where I’d “learned” the land:
guage, we suddenly realized that
neither of us knew the name of the
hotel. And all the rest of our bag»
gag, was already disappearing in
the midst of a Paris trafﬁc jam. If
we should lose sight of them we
would be stranded in that unholy
city without our baggage and with-
out our friends with no chance at
all of ever ﬁnding them.

It was one of those great mo«
ments!

I completely smothered that poor
driver with language. I snapped all
the French at him that I knew, and
the doctor seconded with all the
German and Swedish that he
thought he knew. We told him to
“beat it” and “go get ’em” and “va-
and “skidoo”, and the doc.-
tor in his excitement even tried him
on some Pawnee Indian words he
had picked up in South Dakota. We
motioned toward our departing
friends, and ﬁnally I was inspired.
I pointed to them like a small‘ boy
points toward a ﬂeeing cat and yell—
ed “sic ’em!” He got the idea.

We were off! And it was a wild
ride. It is hard enough to keep up
with a Paris taxicab starting from
scratch, while we had a 50-yard.
handicap to start with. It is no won~
der that Joffre was able to save
Paris with his‘taxicab army in 1914.
There seem to be no trafﬁc rules in

- Paris except to get there and do that

in the quickest possible time. Every
driver is his own traﬂic oﬂicer, and
the ‘right-of—way belongs to who-
ever gets there ﬁrst. The streets
are crooked and they cross at all,

CAN SHOOT DOG

ilege of running at large unaccom-
panied by his master, or any one?
Has he legal right to run over any-
one’s premises as he pleases? Has
a. licensed dog such a privilege? Is
it lawful to shoot either licensed or
unlicensed dog when on your farm
unaccompanied?—X. . .

N reply will call your attention
to section 19 of Act No. 339 of
the Public Acts of 1919, which

provides as follows:

“Any person may kill any dog
which he sees in the act of pursu-
ing, worrying or wounding any live
stock or attacking persons, and
there shall be no liability on such
person in damages or otherwise, for
Any dog that enters
any ﬁeld or enclosure, outside of an
incorporated city, unaccompanied
by his owner, or his owner’s agent
shall constitute a private nuisance
and the owner or tenant of such
ﬁeld or enclosure, or his agent or
servant, may kill such dog while it
is in the ﬁeld or other enclosure,
without liability for such killing.
Except as provided in this section,
it shall be unlawful for any person,
other than a police oﬁicer, to kill
injure or attempt to kill or injure
any dog which bears a. license tag
for the current year. —-Clare Retan,
Deputy Attorney General.

MARRIAGE NOT LEGAL

Will say John Doe was married
but this marriage wasn’t legal-and
It was never set aside when he mar-
ried again. He died. The last wo—
man is living and also his father.
Which is entitled to his pension?
He left no children.

If a water company comes in and
puts down wells and drained our
well could we sue them for dam-
ages?—S. M., Clare, Mich.

F the ﬁrst marriage is illegal, the
I second wife would be entitled to
the pension. However, I would
advise you to see a lawyer as to the
legality of the ﬁrst marriage.

From the facts you give me, I am
of the opinion you would be entitled
to damages. Before proceeding it
would be advisable to see an attor-

 

 

ney as the circumstance of the case
would have an important bearing on
your rights—«Legal Editor.

DIVIDING STRAW

Will you kindly tell me if I rent
a farm for cash does the straw be-
long to me or the oWner of the
property? Also kindly inform me
as to renting on shares (1,5 of crop)
does that include one-half of straw?
What share of expense does owner
carry on grain such as seed, twine,
fertilizer and thresh bill? Also on
a corn crop on one—half share what
part of the expense does owner carry
in regard to seed and twine? Am I
obliged to harvest his share for him
if he has already sold or disposed
of it before harvest time without
giving me a chance to buy it or
husk it for the fodder? Has he a
right to sell without giving me ﬁrst
chance?—J. B., Ann, Arbor, Mich.

TRAW is considered the same as
grain and in the above case
belongs to second party if rent-

ing for cash. It is to the interest
of the landlord to have the straw
remain on the farm. However, this
should be covered in the agreement.

The landlord and tenant bear, un-
der the ordinary farm lease, the
same proportion of such expenses as
seed, twine, fertilizer and thresh bill
as they receive in income. That is,
if the landlord reCeives one-half of
the income he bears one-half of the
expense on the above items. .

The method of sharing corn crop
expense between landlord and ten-
ant will vary greatly under digerent
conditions, depending on productiv-_
ity of soil, etc. Generally, where

the tenant furnishes all the labor;

and working caplta1,he receives
one-half of the crop, The landlord
has a rightto do as he pleases with
his share of the crop and the tenant
will not be fulﬁlling his part of the

" agreement by only caring for the

crop in part.. However, this point

SUEING FOR MONEY

Supposing B and son rent a. farm
of A and buy . stock and tools
amounting to $1,400 and A takes as
collateral security a second mort—
gage on a farm which belongs to B
to keep until said debt to him be
paid. Can A come on to B and son,
who own stock and tools together,
for said debt so long as he holds
that mortgage, which is $1, 600?
He also has their note for the debt.
A has nothing against the son, as
his name is not on any papers—J.
S., Minden, Mich.

IF the property was sold to B and
.son together, A could sue either

or both of them for their share
of the purchase price and collect
from their property. A could also
sue B on the notes or foreclose the
mortgage. —-Legal Editor.

ILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN is

dead. Thru sheer ability, this

man had compelled the world
to look into his face for a quarter
of a century. And now that he is
gone, a. pious temper makes us re-
ﬁect on his sincerety and his stub-
born persistency in teaching", thru
the years, matters of politics and
religion that he believed were vital.
He had already set the stage at Day-
ton, Tennessee, for the big ﬁght of
his life in behalf of what is known
in these days as “Fundamentalism."
Then the Lord took him. But fund—
amentalism survives.

Dayton may sink into oblivion, but
not the history made at that place
in recent days, for it was really a
controversey in religion. History
has preserved all such great contro-
versies. Nineteen hundred years ago
we read of a critical hour in the his-
tory of religion. The scene was
staged at Jerusalem. The contro—
versey was over circumcision, which
was then considered fundamental by
the church. Her conservatism rigid-
ly ﬁxed her doctrines. Loyalty,

“Follow after love.” 1 Cor.

.then, meant adherence to this system.

No one should differ. No matter
about the heavy yokes and the sub-
verting of souls. Yet, not all. Peter.
the rock, stood up for Jesus.
Paul, the invincible controversalist
of the early church, stood up for.
the wonders of Grace among the
Gentiles. Peter and Paul are dead.
So is circumcision. Will fundament-
alism die when the champions of this
faith pass on?

No, real fundamentalism will not
die. So, our only purpose in this
brief discussion is to‘inquire, what is
fundamental in religion? It raises
passions and tends to dissension.

permitted to come up for discussion
such a matter as wearing the-beard;
One brother says that it should be
worn. God made us that way and
therefore we should not cut the beard
off. This is fundamental t9 him.
Another brother replies that God also
made us with an appendix and we
would be in a “quandary” sometimes
if we should not cut it off. No,,w
what is all this? Is it discussion,
conference, or controversey? — But
does it matter what we call it so long
as we are on the way of ﬁnding out
what is fundamental? Some of the
great church councils of the past
have been marked with the pulling
of hair and of beards and other wild
scenes; and yet, in the commotion,
a deposit of Truth reached the top of
the waves to sail on to wider con-
quests.

But what 'is fundamental in— re—
ligion? It was a. class of high
school boys and girls. The writer
was the teacher. The lesson was on
Jesus’ temptation in the Wilderness.
The devil said so and so. Was it a
personal devil? What did he look
like? But, said one young man, “It
was not a personal devil, but an evil
spirit that was tempting Jesus.”
Was this.young man right? Which
belief is fundamental? And do you
believe that a. resurgence of old
creedal attitudes and legalistic wea-
pons in the church will reach what
ails modern life? Where are the
enemies
trenching themselves? Darrow is an
agnostic, as per reports. He doubts
the existence of the Christian’s God
and takes a cynical attitude toward
immortality. He is a wily enemy of
the Christian religion. But there
are others. They interpret life ma~
terially rather than spiritually. What
is a materialist? One who holds
goods above human goods. Do you "

“Broad-scope Farm:-
- . . Edited by L. ;w.,,Me

Fair Time -

AIR dates are .here again—and
while the writer enjoys attend-
ing fairs as much as anybody,

the approach of fair days, is, to him,
just cause for some regrets. It
seems to be a
polite and rather
pleasant “way of
announcing the
departure of
summer and—ad-
vent of fall,
frosts are about
to make them-,
selves evident by
killing , all the
beauty of the
growing ﬂowers,
plants and vege-
tation.
the “melancholy'
days” are ap—
proaching—in fact, are just around
the corner. 'Do not misunderstand
me—I love the fall season, but, oh,
the summer time! There never
was a summer quite long enough to
meet my approval. Never was one
long enough to enjoy the ﬂowers and
trees as IOng as I would like. Never
a summer long enough for the
Broadscope Farm folks to accomp-
lish half what they would like, in
work and play. There are count-
less things we would do if summer
would only linger a little longer.
However, much as We appreciate the
summer time, when it has to end
we are very glad there is a fall
season to follow. What a calamity
if winter stepped in as soon as sum-
mer had made its exit.

I don’t know when fair dates
could be any better inserted in the
calendar notwithstanding the fact
fair times are very busy times with
us. ‘ There is the wheat ground ﬁt-
ting to ﬁnish; wheat to sow, corn
to cut, and the spraying of potatoes
must not be neglected and the fairs
only perplex us by coaxing us to at-
tend them—and when we would
heed their call, we discover just
how busy we are on the. farm!

Every farmer in the state seems
ready to admit that his adjoining
counties have good fairs, but neVer
half as good as his own county fair. ~
Well, the farmers are right—their
own county fair is best. We Hills-
dale county farmers think the same,
and, like all the other farmers, We
have just cause to think so, and are
never too busy to to see our own
county fair! In picking fair dates
Hillsdale county alwalys seems to
grab the last dates of the season. It
is so late it does not have much
competition, the dates this year be-
ing Sept. 28 to Oct. 3.

Club Work

Hillsdale county enjoys the "honor
of being in the ﬁrst rank in boys’
and girls’ club work. At fair time
one is reminded of the vastness of
club activities as the club workers
are, in most instances, completing
their projects. It was my privilege
to witness the ﬁnal loading of the
club workers cars as they were
about to leave for the state fair at
Detroit. There were’ ﬁve car loads
of live stock, and another car of
equipment and supplies. These cars
contained sixteen Guernseys, thirty~
two Jerseys, and twenty-four Hol-
steins, making seventy-two head of
cattle. There were forty-ﬁve hogs,
eighty—six sheep and several crates
of chickens. Fifty boys accompan—
ied the stock and ﬁfty happy boys
they were! I suppose ﬁve hundred
dollars would have been a small sum
to offer them for the smallest calf
in the shipment! -.

' The boys were all dressed in work
shirts and overall. The \freight cars
were all’large ones, of the automo-
bile type, and a. second 'ﬂoor W83-

‘ [Clover Seed; - ,
_ As has been mentioned in a for-
mer article,the second growth on
clover meadows Was extra ﬁne, and
blossomed very profusely. It looked
like a wonderful crop of clover seed
in the making but for some reason

it did not ﬁll well in many ﬂeldm.

and a greater portion of this second
growth was cut for hay——and it
made extra nice hay, containing
timothy or' alfalfa too. The prac—
tice of mixing some alfalfa seed
with the cloverat seeding time
seems quite general—often this a1-
falfa does surprisingly well and
quite as often it gets two or three
inches high and disappears, the
clover evidently crowding it out.
~A nearby neighbor, in whose
wheat the seeding failed this spring
thoroughly dis‘ked the ﬁeld after
harvest, and sowed alfalfa. A disk
, drill was used, and the seed sown
as deep as wheat or oats. The
weather conditions at this time of
moisture were ideal, very warm
with plenty of moisture and seed
sown on Monday was up nicely the
following Saturday. The ﬁeld is
quite green now as the plants are
about two inches high. This is a
very unusual happening. What a
picnic, we would have if we could
always reseed after harvest, and
with such success! This ﬁeld is in
a high state of fertility and I be-
lieve the alfalfa will be large
enough when winter comes to With-
.stand its freezes.

ﬂogging Down Corn
Mention was made in a former
article of a ﬁeld of corn we planted
for hogging down. The fodder was
needed, so we went through the ﬁeld
and knocked off the ears and then

cut the fodder with the corn binder?

before turning the hogs in. This
corn made a. good crop, and was
lready for feeding in ninetypdays
from time of planting. This is the
ﬁrst time in several years we have
had mature corn ninety days after
planting. Years ago that was all
the time a'corn crop needed. Late
years it has needed one hundred and
twenty days, and generally several
more——which, often, it did not get.
This corn is of the Pony Dent va-
riety, one of the earlier sorts. ‘It
seems good policy to plant at least
one ’ﬁeld to. some early sort. One
objection to this, often heard, is
that these early sorts do not gener-
ally yield as high as later varieties.
This objection is partly overcome in
our ﬁeld this year as'we planted'it
only three feet apart each way. This
gets about One third ‘more hillsvon
the ﬁeld: ‘ .
‘ However, granting the later corn
yields more per acre, there are other
things which offset the. yield. The
earlier corn furnishes feed for
starting the hogs two or three weeks
earlier and this may be the differ-
ence between proﬁt and loss at the.
time the hogs are sold. This early
corn is quite sure to , mature a.
sound crop, ,Where the larger later
corn‘ frequently gets frosted and
makes poor Quality teed. ‘
If one does not want the crop' for
hog ‘feed, the earlier corn spreads
out the corn harvest over a longer
period [by enabling one" tonotgonly

ﬁrst manufacturer of. automobiles with mod—
‘ern sliding gear transmission to reach this
tremendous production.

This achievement has been made possible be—
cause Chevrolet has met the great public de—
mand for a quality car at low cost.

Chevrolet has a construction typical of the
highest priced cars: powerful, economical
motor that carries you over any. road; disc
clutch; bodies of beautiful design; closed models
by Fisher; Duco ﬁnish whose color and lustre
last indeﬁnitely; interior of cars beautifully and
substantially upholstered and fully appointed.

Be sure to see these cars that have achieved so
great a degree of public favor—and learn how
much automobile you can really get for little

(Continued from Sept. 12th issue).

“ muffler in the box was your

’ father’s,” she told him. , “He had it

on the day he disappeared. The—

other things,” her voice choked a little.

,“are the things he must have had in his

pockets. They’ve been lying in water and
sand—”

He gazed at her. “I understand," he
said after an instant, “You mean that
they prove his death."

She assented gently, without speaking.
As he approached the box, she drew back
from it and slipped. away into the next
room. She walked up and down there,
pressing her hands together. He must be
looking at the things now, unrolling the
muffler. . . . What would he be feeling
as he saw them? Would he be glad,
with that same gladness. which had
mingled with her own sorrow over Uncle
Benny, that his father ~was gone—gone
from his guilt and his fear and his dis-
grace? Or would he resent ’that death
which thus left everything unexplained
to him? He would be looking at the
ring. That, at least, must bring more
joy than grief to him. He would recog—
nize that it must be this mother’s wedding
ring; if it told him that his mother must
be dead, it would tell him that she had
been married, or had believed that ”she
was married!

Suddenly she heard him calling her.
“Miss Sherrill!" His voice had a sharp
thrill of excitement.

She hurried toward the sun room. She
could ‘see him through the doorway, bend-.
ing over the card table with the things
spread out upon its top in front of him.

“Miss Sherriil!” he called again.

‘iYeS.’l .

He straightened; he was very pale.
“Would coins that my father had in his
pockets all have been more than twenty

years old?"
She ran and bent beside him over the
coins. “Twenty years!" she repeated.

.She was making out the dates of the
cains now herself; the. markings were
eroded, nearly gone in some instances but
in every case enough remained to make
plain the date. “Eighteen-ninety—1893—
1889,” she made them out. Her voice
hushed queerly. “What d0es_it mean?”
she whispered.

He turned over and examined the art-
icles with hands suddenly steadying,
“There are two sets of things here," he
concluded. “The muffler and paper of
directions—they belong to my father.
The other things—it isn’t six months or
less that they’ve lain in sand and water
to became worn like this; it’s twenty
years. My father can’t have had these
things: they were somewhere else, or
some one else had them. He wrote his
directions to that person—after June
twelfth. he said, so it was before June
twelfth he. wrote it; but we can’t tell
how long before. It might have been in
February, when he disappeared; it might
have been any time after that. But if the
directions were written so long ago, why
weren’t the things sent to ‘ you before
this? Didn’t the person have the things
then? Did we have to wait to get them?
Or—was it the instructions to send them
_,_that he didn’t; have? , Or, if he had the
instructions, was he waiting to receive
word when. they were to be sent?”

“To receive word?” she echoed.

“Word from my father! You thought
these things proved my father was dead.
I think they prove he is alive! Oh, we
must think this out!”

He paced up and down the room; she
sank into a chair, watching him. “The
ﬁrst thing that we must do,” he said
suddenly, “is to ﬁnd Out about the watch.

What is the phone number of the tele-
graph ofﬁce?” -

She told him, and he’ went out to the
telephone; she sprang up to follow him,
but checked herself and merely waited
until he came back.

“I’ve wired to Buffalo,” he announced.
“The Merchants’ Exchange..1f it is still
in existence, -must have: a. record of the
presentation of the watch. At any rate,
the wreck of the Winnebago and the name
of the skipper of the other boat must be

time.” ’ ' '

“Then you’ll stay here with us' until
an answer comes." . ’

‘_‘If we get a. reply by to-morrow morn—
ing; I’ll wait till then. If not. I’ll ask ..
you to forward it to me. I must see

about the trains and get back to "Frank: ’ .

fort. I can cross by boat from there to
Manitowoo—that will be quickest. We
must begin there, by trying to ﬁnd out
who sent, the’ package.” «

“Henry Spearman’s already sent to have ,

. that investigated.”

Alan made no reply; but she saw his
lips draw tighter quickly. “I must go
myself as soon as I can," he said, after a.
moment.

She helped him put the other articles
back into the box; she noticed that the
wedding ring was no longer with them.
He had taken that, then; it had meant
to him all that she had known it must
mean. . . . ,

In the morning she was up very early:
but Alan,- the servants told her, had risen
before she had and had gone out. The
morning, after the cool northern night,
was chill. She slipped a. sweater on and
went out on the veranda, looking about
for him. An iridescent haze shrouded the"
hills and the bay; in it she heard a ship's
bell twice; then another struck twice——

.then another—and another—and another.

The haze thinned as the sun grew warmer,
showing the placid water of the bay on
which the ships stood double—a. real ship
and a. mirrored one. She saw Alan re-
turning, and knowing from the direction
from which he came that he must have
been to the telegraph ofﬁce, she ran to
meet him. '

“Was there an answer?” she inquired
eagerly.

He took a yellow telegraph sheet from
his pocket and held it for her to read.

“Watch presented Captain Caleb Staf-
ford. master of propeller freighter Mar-
vin Halch for rescue of crew and passen-
gers of sinking steamer Winnebago 011!
Long Point, Lake Erie.” 1

She was breathing quickly in her ex-
citement. “Cale‘b Stafford!” she ex-
claimed. “Why, that was Captain Stat-
ford of Stafford and Ramsdell! They
owned the Miwaka!”

“You asked me about that ship—«tho
Miwaka—that ﬁrst morning at break—
fast!”

“Yes.”

A great change had come over him

since last night; he was under emotion
so strong that he seemed scarcely to dare
to speak lest it master him—a leaping,
exultant impulse it was, which he fought
to keep down. /
‘ “What is it, Alan?” she asked- “What.
is it about the Miwaka? You said you'd
found‘some reference to it in Uncle Ben—
ny’s house. rWhat was it? What did
you ﬁnd there?”

"The 1nan——” Alan swallowed and
steadied himself and repeated—”the man
I met in the house that night mentioned

“The man who thought you were a.
ghost?”

“How—how did he mention it?"'

“He seemed to think‘ I was a ghost

" , ' ' 'WHAT THE NEIGHBORS SAY

‘BELIEVES WIDE SLEIGHS —
' ARE BEST

EAR EDITORz—I would like to
D answer Mr. F. 'W. Fenton, Sag-
inaw, Michigan, who wrote in
“What the Neighbors Say” January
17th. _ ‘
«I am past ﬁfty and have drove

‘ team winter and summer ever since I
could harness a horse by standing on
a box placed at their side, so should
know something of. conditions of

, . winter roads in Michigan.

— While it seems that the law to

' regulate the wide or standard

width of sleighs fell through or, is

not being enforced, it would be a

geod thing for heavy sleighs as well

, ‘ as light and narrow sleighs and cut-
ters. , ‘

In the ﬁrst place, wide, heavy
sleighs carrying heavy loads would
be but a triﬂe heavier in construction
and would not be noticed in draft
carrying a heavy load. They would
operate better in eVery way on rough
ground or on the road before it was
packed. By packing a wide or “stan-
dard” track it gives the hauling team
a better chance to work. or course
the law for wide or standard track
sleighs would not affect owners of
light sleighs carrying less than a cer- '
tain tonnage or other light passenger
sleighs or cutters. Also this kind of
a track would give the automobile
owners a chance to get out on the
roads and use their cars it they wish-
ed. However they would not always
stay in the track and the next car or
horse-drawu vehicle . would perhaps
atollow it in that way making the road
wider and this would lessen the dan-
ger of light sleighs or cutters tipping
over. .

Certainly automobile owners and
rural people should not be deprived
of the use of their autos in winter as

' they need them as much in the win-
ter as in the summer. They certainly
pay as much as the Saginaw owners

There’s as much difference between

is between salt—water and rain-water.
En-ar-co is softer than velvet. It ﬁnds its

widen out the average heavy sleigh.
Wide sleighs would be serviceable.
Il‘hey would help to break the track
for automobiles. As I stated before
a wider track would be better for all.

As for “mixing things all up" I
don’t really know to whatJle refers.
Some things are better for being mix-
ed, apple pie and other things I
might name, so we will let that
statement stand.

Wide sleighs for hauling would
make better-roads in every way, as
they work better in deep or light
snow andare easier for the teams to
draw. In that way they would pay
back to the farmer all he paid out
to have them Widened to the stan-
dard track width. Surely no one
need to be deprived of the use of
their property as lots of the sleighs
now in use need new sleigh beams
and rollers anyway.

Regarding his remarks about mo—
torists, I think he is entirely wrong
as after all they are only Michigan
citizens who have bought and paid
tor their cars and in some cases have
bought the right to drive' over their
own roads. ' ‘

In closing I would liketo ask Mr.
Newton what they do to make travel—4

thing they have done is to bring

"The Farm Paper of Service"

 

HOLD THOSE BEANS

URINIG a recent talk we had with an eleva-
tor man who is located in the bean growing
district of Michigan he pointed out to us

that if the bean growers of Michigan would
hold on to some of their crOp instead 01 rushing
it all on the market as soon as it was threshed

that they would save themselves thousands of '

dollars. He further suggested that he could see
no reason why the growers of Michigan could

not get 5%c or 6c per pound for their beans as

last year California growers were getting much
more than the growers of Michigan.

We have always pointed out to our readers
that they harm themselves more than anyone
else when they unload their beans onto the
early market. Everybody seems to want to sell
at that time and as a result the price declines
rapidly. Dry beans can be stored very satisfac-
torily in the farmers’ own bins and if all of
them would market just what part of their crop
they absolutely had to in order to take care of
their immediate ﬁnancial needs and then market
the rest of it on a real businesslike basis, we be—
lieve there would be little complaint about the
price received.

USING MORE RADIOS

VER 550,000 farms in the United States are

equipped with radio according to the esti-

mate of the United States Department of
Agriculture after a. nation wide survey conducted
through the county agents. This cpmpares with
365,000 farms last year and 145,000 farm in
1923, ‘meaning there has been an increase of
over 400, 000 farm-owned radios during the past
two years.

It is estimated that 19, 000 farms in Michigan
are radio equipped and comparing this to the
number of acres under cultivation we ﬁnd that
there is one set for around every thousand acres
of used land. We fully believe that the inter-
est in radio during the next several months will
pass anything in the future. This summer there
have been numerous reductions in the prices of
sets and of the accessories, bringing a good set
fully equipped down within the. reach of almost
every family.

Many farmers reported that they installed
their radio sets primarily to receive weather and
market reports. To these farmers the radio was a
business asset and at the same time they pur-
chased something that would 'give the entire
family a great amount of pleasure and entertain—
ment, especially during the long cold winter ev-
enings. 'We should like to see a radio set in ev-
ery farm home in Michigan, because through the
radio the farmer will come in closer contact
with the world at large.

Generally speaking, it has not the soil, but it
has same advantages that should enable the
farmer there to be even more prosperous in
some respects than we may be. Michigan is a
great- industrial state. The automobile industry
clone gives employment [to millions of capital
and thousands of men. This gives the Michigan
farmer his own market; protected from the com-
petition of other states by thecost of transpor-
tation. This far more than Offsets some of the
disadvantages the Michigan farmer meets in pro-
duction. Too, the diversity of crops aﬂords for
the Michigan farmer one of the ﬁrst essentials
of a proﬁtable agriculture. '
The value of Michigan ﬁeld crops last year
was about $275,000,000. Hay led at about.$60,-

“MEMORY DAY”

C not forget that September 30th is “Mem-
ory Day” and has been set aside as a day to
be devoted to caring for the cemeteries

within the state and beautifying the graves of
our loved ones. The Michigan legislature set
aside this day at the instigation and request of
J. T. Danielle, of Clinton county, working with
the State Association of Farmer’s Clubs and the
State Grange, who felt the need of sucha days
Decoration Day was. already set aside for the
same purpose but it came in the spring and it
was urged that a. day in the fall also be observed.
Commenting on the day Mr. Danielle says:

“As a people, are we not bowed down to
Mammon, while forgetting, seemingly, the nobler
attributes of our being. The condition of many
of the graves of our dead, give back the answer.
And shall the condition be permitted to remain,
and with your consent and approval, which will
be true, if you put forth no earnest, active effort
for better conditions. ”

ually. If no organized efforts are put forth each

' WHAT’S YOUR IDEA? The gradual improvement of agricultural con-

ditions in Michigan is comparable to- what one
ﬁnds almost everywhere. The value of agri—
cultural produzfs in that state increased about
50 per cent during the last three years, and the
purchasing power of the farmer’s dollar advanc-
ed from approximately 75 cents in 1923 to 90
cents in 1924. This strengthening of economic
conditions is reﬂected in a much'happier and
hopeful state of mind among farm folks.

Day at the Michigan State College. The weather
was most unfavorable—it “rained all day. Del

KNITPING MACHINE‘ COMPANY

the Gearhart Knitting Ma-

Pennsylvania, has been declared
bankrupt and placed into the hands
~of the receivers. This company was
one of many throughout the coun-
try selling knitting machines and
promising to purchase all of the
work turned out by the ones who
OWned machines. The proposition
has been discussed so many times
.in Our columns that .it is unneces-
sary for us to go into details again,
and our readers will remember we
have always advised against it. The
chances for its success were few

. even if honesty played an important

part in all of the dealings.

“BURN ’EM” POLICY 0F BURN-
IIAM CHEMCAL COMPANY
OLKS who “invested”, good mon-

ey on Burnham Chemical Com-

pany’s promise to pay 340 fo1
one, are now being canvassed by
oﬁicers of the company to send fur—
ther remittance by telegram, as the
mails have been closed to the com-
pany since June 20th, a fraud order
being issued at that time by the
postoﬁice department.

Hundreds of thousands of circu—
lars resembling newspapers, entitl-
ed “Lake of Treasure”, “Desert
Gold”, etc., were sent to people, in
city and on farm, all over the Unit-
ed States by this company. The pa-
pers described how the company ex-
pected to net $34,000 for each 5100
invested therein by, reclaiming the
potash in a dried- -up Western lake
bed Although the company stated
that no money was used for promot‘
ers’ fees, evidence tended to show
that approximately $200,000 had
been devoted to that end. E. G.
Lewis, an oﬁicer of the company,
had earlier been acquitted of a
charge alleging use 'of the mails to
defraud at St. Louis, M0.

The Better Business Bureau of
Detroit, in cooperation with other
Bureaus, assembled and forwarded
this company’s advertising to - the
authorities about a year ago. It has
just recently reported to the proper
authorities the company's attempts
to evade the Postoﬁlce ruling.

“Chemical and Metallurgical En—
gineering”, a well known technical
paper, classiﬁed Burnham Chemical
Company as f‘Over-Invented and
Under-engineered”, in a sweeping
arraignment of the project, and
suggested that ”investors are well
advised to scratch the Burnham
-Chemical Company off their list.”

CST of you will remember our

report that the promoter of

the Nile Art Company, of Fort
Wayne, Indiana, had been arrested
and charged with using the mails
to defraud the public. You will be
glad to hear the latest report on
this company.

Glenn D. Fryer, of Fort Wayne,
Indiana, founder of the Nile Art
Company, was found guilty in fed-
eral court on a charge of using the
mails to defraud. The jury was
out ﬁve minutes. The govelnment
alleged that Fryer had defrauded
hundreds of persons throughout the
country. His proﬁts in a few
months were alleged to have been
more thanI $175, 000.

Persons who bought art outﬁts

would be repurchased and resold by,

sided cypress or white pine casks.
The college gives directions for
making kraut, as follows: Cut the
heads 'of cabbage from their stalks
just above the loose outer leaves,
trim the heads, and cut them in
halves from top to bottom. Remove

the cores with a sharp knife, and
cut the cabbage into long, ﬁne
shreds on a kraut—cutting board.

Place a layer of shreds from 4 to 6
inches deep in the bottom of the
jar, and sprinkle it lightly with
table salt. One pound. of salt should
be used to each 40 gallons of kraut.
Tamp or bruise the layer of cabbage
with a large, clean piece of wood
until the cabbage appears to be
juicy. Add layers of cabbage,
sprinkling them with salt and bruis-
ing or tamping them, until the jar
is completely ﬁlled.

Cover the top of the cabbage with
loose cabbage leaves that have been
thoroughly rinsed, ﬁt an earthen-
ware or wooden cover inside the
container, and place a clean stone

'on it to weight down the contents

as the curing progresses. Tie sev-
eral layers of cheesecloth over the
jar as a protection against the dust
and ﬂies.

Store the jar where the tempera—
ture is 55° F. or slightly above.
From four to six weeks will be
needed for curing kraut at, this tem—
perature. If the temperature aver—
ages from 70° to 75° F., less time
will be needed, usually two or three
weeks. Kraut is completely cured
when bubbles cease to rise to the
surface of the liquor, and is 'ready
for use several days or a Week later.
The cabbage leaves with a thin lay-
er of softened kraut from the top
of the jar must be discarded. When
properly cu1ed,kraut is rich yel—
low in color and may be taken from
needed, if sufficient li-
quor is left to keep the rest cov-
ered.

MANY GOOD USES FOR GREEN
TOMATOES

WVHEN the ﬁrst hard frost leaves

a large supply of green toma—

toes on hand, some of them
will undoutedly be made into pick-
les, but they are also good to use
in many ways. Green tomatoes cut
into half—inch slices, sprinkled with
salt, dipped in ﬂour or ﬁne bread
crumbs, and fried till slender in a
little fat, are excellent. They may
also be fried with sliced onions. The
following recipes for using green
tOmatoes have been tested by the
Bureau of Home Economics of the
United States Department of Agri—
culture:

Stewed Green Tomatoes

8 large green tomatoes, 11/2 tea-
spoons salt, pinch of pepper, 2
tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons

sugar, 4 tablespoons bread crumbs,
scraped onion for seasoning.

Scald the tomates and remove the ‘

skins. Cut into small pieces, boil
until tender, season, and thicken
with bread crumbs which have been
browned in the butter.

The other day I had a talk with the editor and
he expressed great concern over the home work schemes that
are being advertised very extensively through . the mails and

through publications that are not looking out for the best interest

He showed me ﬁles of letters from readers, mostly

women, who had either tried some scheme and wanted help to get

their money back or they wanted to know what we thought of the
companies they mentioned in their letters.
the writer mentioned the need of extra funds to help make both
ends meet being the cause of their interest.

onion, out ﬁne, pinch of pepper and
curry powder

Boil the tomatoes with the water
until tender, and pht through a
strainer. Saute onion, pepper, and
curry powder in butter, remove the
pieces of onion, then add the flour,
and later the milk, to make a white
sauce. Add the soda to the hot to-
mato pulp. When the white sauce
is thoroughly cooked, blend the two
mixtures and serve at once.

' Green Tomato Pie ‘

4 or 5 medium-sized green to-
matoes, 1/2 lemon, sliced very thin,
14 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon
salt, 11/2 tablespoons cornstarch, 19.1
cup sugar, 1 tablespoon butter.

Slice the tomatoes and heat slow-
ly in a saucepan with the sugar,
lemon, salt and spice until the t0-
matoes are tender. Add the corn-
starch and cook until the cornstarch
does not taste raw. Take from the
ﬁre and add the butter. Line a pie
tin with pastry and bake the low.
er crust for 12 minutes in a moder-
ately hot oven until a delicate color
begins to appear. Put the tomato
ﬁlling in this prebaked pie crust,
cover with an upper crust, and bake
about 12 minutes in a hot oven, or
until the upper crust is done.

If there is insufﬁcient liquid in
the tomatoes to cook them, a small
amount of water may be added
when stewing them. It may be ne-
cessary to use more or less corn~

starch, according to the amount of
tomato juice present.
Green Tomato Marmalade
6 pounds green tomatoes, 6 cups
sugar, 1% teaspoons salt, 6 lemons.
Wash and trim the tomatoes and
cut them into small pieces and add
the sugar. Cut the lemons into very
thin, slices and boil for about ﬁve
minutes in one cup of water to
which the salt has been added, and
add this to the tomato and, sugar.
Heat this mixture slowly, then cook
rapidly, stirring constantly, for
about one-half hour or until the
marmalade has the consistency of
thick heavy jam. These proportions
will. make about three quarts of
marmalade. ,
Green Tomato Mincemeat
4 quarts sliced green tomatoes,

2 quarts pared and sliced tart ap-_

ples, 1/2, pound seeded raisins, 1/;
pound currants, 4 tablespoons minc—
ed citron, 4 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/1,
teaspoon allspice, 1/1, teaspoon
cloves, 5 cups brown sugar, 2 cups
vinegar, 2 cups water or more water
and less vinegar if the latter is very
acid.

Chop the tomatoes and the apples
ﬁne. Add the other ingredients and
boil the mixture slowly until the
tomatoes are tender and the mince-
meat is thick and not watery.~ Stir
it occasionally to prevent burning.
If desired this may be sealed in
scalded jars for later use. The

Marriage—Before the bride stands at
the alter with the man of her choice
there are many small but important de-
tails which have to be considered. First

of all, if you are the brides mother, you ‘

begin to prepare for an elaborate, formal
wedding at least two months in advance.
and at least one month in advance fOr a
simpler one. So much has to be thought
of, decided on and attended to that the
question of enough time is vital. The
matters which call for attention before
your wedding invitations are sent out are
the following.

1. Prepare lists of the relatives, and
friends who are to be invited, with their
addresses, as well as of all those who
are only to receive an announcement;

2. The bride’s mother in consultation
with her daughter, should make out a
list of the wedding details to be attended
to, and place opposite each detail the
name of the person responsible. This.
does away with duplication of orders or
misunderstanding later.

3. Make sure (if it is a church wed-1

ding) that the clergyman has marked the
day in his calendar as reserved for the
purpose, and that he and his church will
be available for the time set. This is
the time (unless your own service staff
attends to the breakfast dinner or lunch-
eon combined with the'wedding reception)
to write or see your caterer in order that
he may synchronize church and refresh—
ment programmes with regard to time.

4. Make up your mind now (and decide
deﬁnitely, in order to regulate the mim-
ber of your: invitations properly) how
many people will you ask to the church
ceremony—never ask more than the
church will hold comfortably—how many
will you ask to the reception, and how
many shall receive announcements. You
may ask a few persons to the church
ceremony and a number of people to the
reception or vice versa, just as you choose.
Either is correct. \

5. This is also the time to settle the
day of the week (as well as the month)
on which the wedding. is to take place.
Even though you yourself mayAnot be-
lieve in "unlucky” days, avoid them. No
sailor (and many who have never been
to sea as well) would like to marry on
a Friday. Certain church seasons, too,
are not appropriate. in nearly ”all
churches, denominational and other, there
is a Lenten season or its equivalent. It
is associated with self-denial, fasting and
an avoidance of worldly things. And for
all that marriages are popularly supposed
to have been made in heaven, 8. wedding
is a secular affair. In general a week-
day is preferable to a Sunday for a wed-
ding. Wednesday, Thursday, _ and now-
adays in particular, Saturday, are favor-
ite days, and the Saturday noon or “high
noon" wedding is very fashionable.

6. When all this has been done see
your stationer and order your wedding
invitations, church and house, as well as
your announcements. ,

. She. won ﬁrst prize on a motto

for our jolly family, and now ' the.

1 judges declare she wrote the best
song using our motto "Do Your
Best.” Shall we have to_bar her
from competition _ in future con-
tests? My! ‘My! I hOpe not. But
you can not blame "Uncle Ned for
the decision on the‘wsong because it
was too big a job for him and .he
turned allot the songs ever to pro-
fessional musicians to pass judge-
menton. After hours of work the
contest for ﬁrst place had narrowed
down to two, Eathel Fay Sharp.) of
Akron, and Mildred Brassgalla, of
Mullet Lake, and it seemed impossi-
ble, themusicians told me, to decide
which of the two had written the
best_song. Finally, it was decided
that the song Written by Eathel had
more in it about the motto and
page than the one composed-by Mil-
dred. so Mildred had to be contented
with second prize. Both songs were
written to the tune of “America.”
A very appropriate "tune for our
song, I think. We are doing our
best to be good Americans and I am
glad our song was written to this
tune. Aren’t you? .

self. I am ﬁve feet four inches tall and
weigh about 85 pounds, my age will be

The one guessing my correct age will get
one of the longest letters I have ever writ—
ten’. I have brown hair and grey eyes.

Well I guess that is enough for the sub-
ject, will tell about something else. I do
not live on a farm. My father has a
small garden every year. We have 15
chickens, a dog and a cat, we call the

Uncle "Ned do you get a pin for having
your letter in print? If this letter hits
the waste basket I wish it would hit so
hard it would ﬂy up on your desk again.

.Dear Uncle Nedz—I live in Nashville,
Michigan. This is near Hastings which
is the Barry County seat. There is a

vﬁne fair there each year. ‘The most in-

teresting thing this year was the auto-
mobile races. Four cars lined up for the
start.
two was yellow, number three was grey.
and number four was white. These were
all good racing cars. The race Was to
be twenty laps .or ten miles. It was
started with a. great racket, and the cars
were soon going their full speed. Nun-

’ber one came ahead. There was great

excitement in the crowds. But the block
car had.engine trouble and had to (no
out. Then number three forged ahead
with number two a close second. The
three cars were now very. close together.
The engine of number two got so hot
it caught ﬁre. This held the crowds at-
tention till the ﬁre was put out and then
the race again held the crowds interested
gaze. Number three was now the‘leader
and number four close behind. There
was only one more mile to race. The
crowd in the grandstand arose to see
the 'winner’s happy smile as he drove
number three the winning- car across the
line. This was the end of the best part
for the crowd but not for the winning
driver. For him the best part was yet
to come. He quietly walked to the
judges stand ‘where a roll of bills was
presented to him.

I also enjoy the horse races but like
the automobile best. Your friend.~Helen
Brumm, Nashville. Michigan.

I was listening to Dr. -——————. a.
noted preacher. All the ministers in
the congregation were invited to-.a
banquet that was to close the church
drive'that Was on. But, said the
speaker, you had better not come un-
less yoii believe as we do. And he
read to us their declaration of faith,
emphasizing the physical and threat—
ening aspect of Christ’s second com-_
ing. Thiswas fundamental to him
and he felt it must be to all else
there could be no fellowship at the
banquet. I left the church that
night'wondering Whether the preach—
er had ever caught the persuasive
and charitable spirit of the Master.
I did not go to the banquet.

But a question is not settled until
it is settled right. And biased opin-
ions of church leaders and groups
can not do this. Let us consult uni-
versally recognized authorities. Paul
is up again. He speaks out of a
broad experience in world ﬁelds. He
compels ' attention. “Follow after
love”, says he. ”If one has not love
he is nothing." He may be ever so
eloquent, so prophetic, so learned,
so correct in faith, and he may go ..
to the extremes of self-devotion; but,
says the apostle, if he has not love
he is nothing. Have we discovered
anything fundamental here? Have-
n’t we struck something ﬁnal and
ﬁxed? After all, isn’t love the ﬁnale
of religion? And again, “If any man
have not the spirit of Christ he is
none of his.” “As many as are led
by the spirit of God are the sons of
God.” Verily, fundamentalism in
religion lies in the realm of the
spiritual rather than in the realm of
dogma. - . ~

But we are yet to hear the ﬁnal

it. “By this shall all men know ye
are my disciples if ye have love one
for another.”, This is substantial
religion. What was the matter with
Dives? Didn’t he have an orthodox
belief? Well, the record does not
say. Why doesn’t it say? Would it
But '
’what was the fundamental reason
that Dives was consigned to hell?
He had a selﬁsh and unbrotherly
spirit. Recall the scene at the last
judgment. Some are going into
eternal life.~ What is the sole test
applied? The spirit in which life
has been lived. “Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least
of these ye have‘done it unto me."
Christian doctrines and forms are im—
portant, but dare we say they are
vital to life? The substance of
Christianity is spirit rather than
form.

. Whatrthen, is fundamental to the
life of God in the‘soul of men and
in the heart of society? The spirit
of love even asJesus loved. The
only unpardonable sin is to deny the
Spirit of- Jesus. We can be nominal

Thousands of cows die mystericiusly every year. Tens

out of ten the real cause is probably something in the feed

This is no reﬂection on the manufacturer. No matter

PREPARE FOR GREAT SEASON
IF you are a real radio fan your

receiving set has gone thr ugh

hundreds of hours of opera
during the past nine monthsa “pd has
received little attention. he B

batteries have no doubt delivered

a great deal of current. since they
were looked after; The antenna
has“been subjected to the wear and

tear of the elements as well as be-'

ing covered with coal smoke, etc.

The solder connections on the re-.

ceiving set have plenty of fars and
rattles to shake them loose.

There are really four primary
causes for a set not functioning ‘pro—
perly—tubes that have been abused
electrlcally (by this we mean burn-
edtoo bright) or mechanically bat-
teries down, faulty conditions of the
set, and weather conditions. Very
often the falling off of signal
strength and noises In the broadcast
receiver is caused by something be-
ing loose in the set itself.

It must be borne in mind that
summer radio was ushered in after
the radio set had gone through a
long winter season of nightly oper-
ation for hours at a time and is very
much in need of replacements and
a general overhauling.

Radio housecleaning starts with
the antenna and ground, or the
wave reception part of the radio
set. The ﬁrst thing that should be
done is to overhaul the ground con-
nection. Thisds done ﬁrst by re-
moving the ground connection,
whether it be on the water pipe or
otherwise, scrape the wire ground
clamp and pipe or rod driven into
the ground, whichever it may be,
and securely replace the clamp. Of
course if the connection is soldered
well this will not be necessary. '

The second step is caring for the
antenna. This is accomplished by
taking down the aerial and looking
it over thoroughly. See if the in-
sulators have any cracks in them—
a crack in an insulator will cause
a. great deal of trouble, especially
in damp weather, as it will cause a
leak which will partially ground the

system. It the wire used is bare
scrape it with a knife to remove

.the coating cf oxide and dirt that

has formed during the time of its,
lnstallation. Look ’over the joints
to see that they are well soldered.

When putting the aerial back up be

sure. that it does not touch any
trees and see that the lead- in is
well insulated from any part of the

house.

The next thing to look after is
the -receiver. This includes many
things: First. the heart of the set-
the tubes. Take them to some re-
liable radio dealer and have them
tested. They should test at least
one milliamper on a regular tube
checker and if they donot test this
high you need new tubes. The
next thing to go after is dust—dust
is very easy to get out of a set but
causes much trouble while there.
The place where it does the most
harm is on the condenser plates.
Dust can be removed from conden-
ser plates by means of an ordinary
pipe cleaner. Bend the cleaner in-
to an oval using the two ends as a
handle and run the rounding part
through the plates which will re-
move the accumulation very nicely. '
A" new cleaner should be used on
each condenser, however.

Other parts of the set will ac:
cumulate ,dust which will in turn
absorb more or less moisture and
thereby cause the set to be noisy.
These are the panel places between
binding posts, the base-board or the
sub-panel and in some cases the re-
sistance wire on the rheostats gets
corroded badly. Dust is removed
from the base board or sub panel by
means of a dry cotton cloth; corros—
ion is removed from the resistance
wire by scraping with a knife blade
or a ﬁne emery cloth.

The last thing to round into
shape is the battery system. The
solution in a storage battery should
test between 1, 250 and 1, 300 when
the battery is fully charged, 1,200

_ at half charge and at 1,150 it is dis-

charged and should be recharged
before further use.

VETERINARY D EPARTM ENT

 

PIGS COUGH

I have twenty pigs two months
old. They weigh about seventy-ﬁve
pounds each. They grow and seem
healthy but a. few began to cough
and now several more are cough-
ing. If they run they cough as if
they were choking. What can I
do for them and what causes it?
Sometimes they cough when’ they
eat. I feed them middlings and
milk, also oats—G. R., Hastings.
Mich.

THINK these pigs are suﬁering

from intestinal parasites. The

history sounds very much like
they are suffering from the belas-
caris marginata. The sucking pig
usually gets the egg of this parasite
from the teat and udder of the
mother. It is swallowed and in the
stomach and intestines hatches in.—
to the larva state, then migrates to
the liver, lungs, the spleen and oth-
er organs. The worms ultimately
get into the lungs, liver, the blood
making their way up the bronchi,
stream and enter the air passages
trachea and pharynx and then pass
down the esophagus into the stom-
ach and intestines where they de—
velop into mature worms and pass
out with the feces or. emain for

vent this trouble is under the Me-
Clean County System of Swine San-
itation as developed in Illinois un-
der the supervision of the Federal
Bureau of. Animal Industry. By
this method sows are thoroughly
washed and scrubbed just before
farrowing and placed in farrowing
pens which have been thoroughly
cleaned with hot water, soap and
lye. Within ten days after farrow-
ing the sows and litter are hauled
in crates by wagon or sled to a
clean ﬁeld and kept there until the
young pigs are at least four months
old. By this time they have ac-
quired resistance to infection with
ascarides and to the effects of in—
festation. By this system the losses
among young from pulmonary and
intestinal ascaridiasis are avoided.
The saving and increased growth
of the pigs amply pays for the in-
volved expense ,and trouble—John

A Lamp that Burns 94% Air.

A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly
brilliant. soft, White light, even better
than gas or electricity,- has been tested
by the U. S. Government and 35 leading
universities and found to be superior to
10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without
odor, smoke or noise—-no pumping up, is
simple, clean, safe. Burns 94% air and
6% common kerosene (11031011).

LINIB BREEDING

I am writing you in regard to a
call I would like to keep. We had a
regular Holstein-Friesian bull that
sure was a good one. I had a cow
from a pure Holstein-Friesian bull,
then I bred her to our own bull and
got a heifer calf. Then I bred this
hei'ler calf to her father and I have
a dandy bull calf. *Now I would
like to keep this bull/and use him
to what would be his mother’s half
I was talking to a veterin—
arian about it and he called this
bull calf are bred, and he said it
was all r ght to inbreed that once
and now to keep this call and use
him back would bevllne.breeding.—-
L. 1%., Whittemore, Mich.

N the'ﬁrstplace, there is no doubt
but what the bull calf himself
is an inbred calf as he contains

75 per cent of the blood of his sire.
Now when this bull is bred to his
mother’s half-sisters, it —-the‘ result
is the intensifying of the blood of
his own side beyond the 75' per cent,
it would indeed be approaching the
questionable point, inbreeding. If,
however, these half-sisters of his
mother did not contain any of the
blood'of the original sire, or in
other words, the father of this calf,
then no particular harm should re-
sult in such use.

We should remember that in in-
breeding we ﬁx very closely the
characteristics of the sire and the
dam. If the characteristics so ﬁxed
are superior, then the use of the bull
“gets
us ahead" faster than from the use
of an ordinary bull. Of course, in
inbreeding we ﬁx undesirable char—
acteristics as well.

I should think in advising this
case, it would all depend on whether
or not the original sire used, ap-
proached the ideal, as closely as pos—
sible, which this breeder has as to
type and breeding. If such is the
case, then using this calf in the way
you-mention should ﬁx these good
points. The use of the bull as indi-
cated by you Would indeed be line
breeding as you suggest providing
of course the females to which he
is mated contain none of the blood

'of the original sire.

about a nickle when we‘were there.
The easiest thing in the world is to
calla Paris taxi because the streets
are so full of them, and the next
easiest thing is to pay the bill after
riding half-way across town. And
one of " the hardest things in the
world is to ﬁnd one’s way about
town on foot. Hence, everyone
takes a taxi.

[But nearly everything side in Par-
is is cheap also. We saw Faust at
the French Opera, certainly one of

the ﬁnest theatres in the world, and ..

our good box seats coSt us about '75
cents or a. dollar each even after
paying the scalper’s commission,
which is about the only way that
one can buy tickets to most of the
better Paris shows. The Follies
Bergere, L’Opera Comique, and all
the other shows are.equally low-
priced. One pays almost as much
in tips to the taxi-driver, the man
who opens the taxi door, the man
who opens the theatre door, the W0—
man who leads one to his seat; the
woman who hangs up the coats and
hats, and all the other tip-takers
with which Parisis so infested, as
for the ticket of admission itself,
especially if one is an American, for
they are especially imposed upon.

The Parisians devoutly believe that,

every American tourist is 3. ”mil»
lionaire” and it is useless to argue
to the contrary. / .
Visit Cathredral of Notre Dame
We visited that old old cathedral
of Notre Dame whose hideous stone
gargoyles have grinned .down upon
the pomp and majesty as well as
the poverty'and misery of Paris
since the time when it was built in
1180 A. D. We would be proud
today of a building in the United
States of any size that is 300 years
old, and yet that cathedral was a
little over 300_years old when Col-
umbus discovered America; it was
600 years old at the time of the Re—
volutionary War—and it“ is still in
good repair and will probably still

be standing when many of our great-

buildings have been “replaced."
Two American girls and I went to
church there one beautiful Sunday
morning, partly to see the great
cathedral, :partly to hear the fa-
mous pipe organist of Notre Dame,
and partly, in fact, because it was
Sunday morning and time to go to
church.

Services were going on when we
arrived. We were met at the door
by some women carrying plates for
us to deposit the inevitable gift, a
few francs perhaps. A franc is only
a nickle, but it is a very respectable
little tip at that.
trance to the main aisle were .men
in elaborate robes in little box-ofﬁce

, \
enclosures who also expected and

saw to it that they received another
little gift from the visitor. Halfway
down the aisle a woman usher took
us in hand, led us to a seat and, de—
manded pay for her services. I
ﬁgured that I had paid enough and
told her so. She persisted and I
bade her begone.

Arguing in church over a tip for
an usher may sound a triﬂle sacri-
ligious and uncouth, but I had al-
ready learned from experience and
from advice of old residents that
the American is constantly imposed
upon by the Parisians who will ar-
gue for a little larger tip, no matter
how large it is in the beginning, be—
cause they know that an extra half-
franc makes no difference to the
Yank at all, and it means so mucn
to’them. The American will usual—
ly give them that much more to get
rid of them; and the Parisians have
learned it. If the American girls
who had not been in Pariﬁ even as
long as I had, had not insisted that
I pay her off, we would probably
have been arguing over that half-
franc yet. And that was several
months ago! ' m

it seemed to me, and my friends
had to drag me away. '

From the Place de la. Concerde .-
with its old Egyptian obelisk dating
back to 200 B. C. which marks the :
'spot where the old guillotine once
stood and snipped off the heads of
so many hundreds of French people
whose only crime was the fact that ,_
they happened to be lined up «with
the side out‘ of power, we rode in
a horse-drawn hack up that grand—
est avenue of them all; the Champs-
Elysees, over a mile long and majes-
tic in its width, up to the great Arch
of Triumph that I had heard so
much about. 'Buried beneath this"
great arch lies the, Unknown soldier
of France and a torch is kept burns
ing continuously at the head of the
tomb. On some days, we were told,‘
it is necessary to haul away several
truck loads of ﬂoral offerings that
are deposited over this unknown
grave by.visitors_from all over the
world. -

We mounted to the very top of
the famous Eiffel Tower whose ﬂag
pole reaches up into the clouds for"
a. little over 1,000 feet above the
ground and even at that dizzy height
there are little shops selling souven-
iers and refreshments to the bewil-
dered tourists. We paid homage to
the tomb of Napoleon and did ev-
erything that a respectable tourist
in Paris is expected to doe—but af-
ter two weeks it was time to come
home, back to the United States of.
America, and we sailed on the good
ship Veendam, a neat little trick of
15,000 tons or just a little over one-
fourth the size of the Leviathan on
which I'had sailed from New York
two months before. '

'Took Ten Days To Cross "

It took the Veendam ten days to
cross from Boulogne to New York
and it had taken us just ﬁve days
going over on the Leviathan. But
in spite of the fact that some of the
passengers nick-named the little
boat the “Slodam” on account of its
speed, everyone, except those very _..
few who were a little sick, enjoyed
the whole trip—the Dutch crew and .
the German waiter, and the cosmo-
politan passenger list and all.

Traveling, like virtue, need not be
its own, and only, reward. For with
all its glamor, thrills and pleas—
ure, it. seems to me that one "of the
richest gifts of travel rests in the
fact that the more we see of other
lands, the better we like our own
home town, and this is true of some
places in particular.

I have written nineteen articles
in this series on my observations in '
Europe, and the most pleasant task
for me to do now Would be to sit
back and reﬂect upon that trip, not ’
for the purpose of enjoying the "
memories of what Isaw abroad, but
for 'the greater purpose of getting
a far greater enjoyment quiz of it
all by comparing these foreign
scenes with the common, everyday "
scenes of my own America, with
which there is really no comparison
after all. . -
g I have never been dissatisﬁed
with this great country of ours, and
after having a standard of compari:
son to judge it by in the future I
certainly never shall be. ’There is' J
really only one country in the world‘
in which I would be satisﬁed to live
and that is the, “United States of
America. And to those who do not
like it here and Who are constant-
ly ﬁnding fault with our govern- l
ment or our laws, or any other “of
the many things which all operate .
together to make our country great,
i would simply say to them go overs- ,

Future of Farming Looks Very Bright

Livestock Man Advises Purchasing Stock Cattle Now

By W. W. FOOTE, Market Editor.

»

RMING interests are, certainly

looking up. and at no time

since the war have farmers felt
in such good spirits. Farms are held
at full prices in the middle west and
farther east, and values are higher
rather than lower. Farmers are
getting out of debt, fewer mort—
gages are being made, and debts
are being paid off. One of the most
important developments of the pres—
out time is the wonderful increase
in road building, this country spend-
ing money at the rate of. a billion
dollars a year for its improved high-
ways. By this means farms are

brought much nearer markets than

in the past, and farmers are utiliz-
ing trucks in place of shipping by

‘ rail in a fast increasing degree. In

many farming districts farm values
are beginning to respond to the
growing demand for small tracts of
fertile land, and within a few weeks
farms in Nebraska have changed
ownership at from $150 up to $325
an acre, depending on the improve-
ments. In the two Dakotas values
are climbing, and sales show ad-
vances of 25 per cent in North Da:
kota within two years.~ In‘the Illi-
nois corn belt few farms are be—
ing sold, not many owners wanting
to sell. In Iowa high—class farms
have been bringing from $200 to
$250 an acre. In that state the
state census is indicating a small
decrease in poulation on the farms,
but through the increased crops due
to increased efﬁciency brought about
by machinery and better methods
of farming, fewer farmers are pro—
ducing more stud. Everywhere the
general use of the radio on the
farms has brought farmers into
close touch with the daily markets
and the government reports on the
weather, the crops, and other things
of interest. In short, farming me—
thods are being revolutionized
throughout the United States and
in the future work on the farm may
be expected to be less strenuous and
earnings surer, making due allow—
ance for the right kind of soil and
the right way of working the acres.
Our lilxports Growing

According to a recent government
report, the value of all exports from
the United States in the year ending
June 30. 1925, was $544,000,000
greater than in the preceeding year.
At the same time agricultural cx-
ports increased $403,000,000. Thus

.agriculture including forestry while

contributing 51 per cent of the to-

tal exports of the United States also
'contributed 73 per cent of the in-

the preceeding year.
in agricultural ex-
may be more than

crease over
This increase
ports, however,

{accounted for by increased exports

of wheat, cotton, rye, and barley.
The values of other important agri-
cultural exports either were lowwr
than in the preceeding year or show-
ed only slight increases. The value
of bacon exports in the year ending
June 30, 1925, was only $34,000,-
000 as compared with $51,000,000

in the preceding year. Other pork
products showed decreases below
1923—24..

The “Theat Problem

Many advisers are ready to tell
the farmer what to do about fixing
his wheat acreage,
plenty of Michigan farmers who pay
no attention. to the outside world
and simply go on cultivating the
same number of acres, no matter
what the wise ones say. The1e

_ always danger of being carried awaly

by big crops and cutting down the
wheat acres too much, as there is
of. sowing too much wheat when
.the price is away higher. At the
a greatly excessive

and provided there is a

Pric-

 

but there are.

supplies and large requirements.
Within certain limits the farmer is
a speculator, and he can never know
how his ventures will turn out ul-
timately. At the same time it is
best teJearn what other farmers are
doing, and some time ago the gov-
ernment reported that it looked
like an increase of 9.7 per cent in
the winter wheat acreage of the
country over last year, which was
6.5 per cent more than the acreage
of the autumn of 1923. Andiur-
thermore, it is learned that farmers
in nineteen countries of Europe
have been raising up to 92 per cent
of the pr'e-war acreage, while the

area devoted to wheat in Canada;

Australia and Argentina is 53 per
cent above the pre-war average.
,As for the present crop of wheat
it may be said that it looks like a
maintenance of the price
$1.50 per bushel. According to the
late government crop report, the
wheat crop is approximately 700,2
873,000,000 bushels harvested last
year. The estimated oats crop is
1,462,000,000 bushels, comparing

.with 1,542,000,000 bushels grown

in 1924. The corn crop is estimated
at 2,885,000,000 bushels, comparing
with 2,437,000,000 bushels last
year. The tame hay crop is given
as only 81,000,000 tons, comparing
with 98,000,000 tons last year. The
potato crop is reported at 344,000,-
000 bushels, comparing with 353,-
000,000 bushels last year. The bean
crop is given as 17,600,000 bushels,
comparing with 17,500,000 bushels
last year. Good crops of apples,
grapes and peaches are reported. ‘
Late sales for September delivery
were made on the Chicago Board of
Trade of wheat at $1.52, comparing
with $1.29 a year ago; corn at 94
cents, comparing with $1.16 a year
ago; oats at 39 cents, comparing
with 48 cents a year ago; and rye
at 87 cents, comparing with $1.03
a year ago. ‘The visible supply of
wheat in this country is much less
than a year ago; that of corn about

normal; that of oats far larger than
a year ago, and that of rye much
less.

Prime Cattle Sell Higher

J. A Huber of Washington County,
Iowa, was so fortunate as to sell 15
head of prime 1364- —pound Hereford
steers on the Chicago market a few
days ago at $16. 35, a new high top
for the year. On the same day he
sold 27 head of superior 1357-pound

above -

Her-stores at $16.25.
of steers were purchased in south—

western Kansas last October and.

were tattooed on 'a ration. of corn,

clover hay and -molasses feed. 0n"

the same day a stockma‘n from ,Mis~

souri had a shipment. of 55, choice
- Whiteface yearling's" on the market .

which averaged 972 pounds. and sold

for $15, the top for the day. for.

little cattle. These steers were
bought on the range last fall, when
they cost $7.50, having been origin-
ally New Mexico Herefords.. They
were fed largely on crushed corn and
molasses. Prime heavy cattle are
selling far. higher than yearlings.
Unusually large offerings of cattle
last week caused a sharp decline in
prices near the close, the bulk of
the steers going at $9 to $14. 50, with
common‘ to prime steers selling at
$7 to $16. 35 and the best yearlings
at $15 to $15. 25. Butcher cows and
heifers sold at 8.4 to $13, Canner and
cutter cows at $2.50 to ($3.95, buﬂs
at $3.50 to $7.50 and calves at $6
to $15, calves of the better class sell—
ing unusually high. Stockers and
feeders were active and 75 cents to
$1 higher than two weeks earlier,
with sales at $5.25 to $8.75, largely
at $6.50 ct $7.50, whilestock and
feeder heifers sold at $3.50 to $6.
A year ago beef steers were selling
at $6 to $11.40 for common to prime
grades, and thirteen years ago they
brought $4.65 to $8.35.
Time to Buy Stock Cattle

“Revival of pastures by- recent
rains and the fact that new corn is
ready to cut and feed should prompt
feeders to take the present opportun-
ity to lay in stock cattle, and Chicago
is a good place to buy at the present
time, ” says Everett C. Brown, presi-
dent of theNChicago Live Stock ex-
change. ,

“Whatever damage may have been
done to the corn crop as a result of
drouth, the fact remains that it is
close to a 3,000,000,000 bushel crop
and that its value will depend large—
ly' on cattle and hog feeding. It is
deﬁnitely known that the hog crop
is short and will be throughout 1925-
26 and the number of cattle acquired
for fall and winter feeding so far this
season has been considerably below

normal, and, if present beef con-
sumption is maintained, which is
probable, far below the ‘country’s
needs.

Potato Crop Further Reduced

The Department of Agriculture re-
ports that drouth and other ﬁeld
troubles reduced the estimated po—
tato crop about 8,000,000 bushels
during August, so that the present
indicated total of 344, 400,000 bush-
els is 24 percent or 110, 000,000

“TREAT

-A quiet and steady tone prevailed
in the wheat market last week. Most
of the dealers are inclined to be
bearish believing receipts will soon
show an increase. So far Michigan
growers have not shown a desire to
sell, there being quite a feeling that
prices should go higher. Canada has
a good crop this year but not much
of it is expected to ﬁnd its way into
the states. All wheat received on
the Detroit market to date has
found a ready market going mostly
to local millers.

 

CORN '

The corn market is dull and easy
with demand very light. There

are plenty of sellers and few buyers.

 

OATS
Oats are ﬁrm but 'quiet.
are running light, but stocks at
many points are heavy. Prices on
futures are lower, December and

' May being at new lows for the sea-

son. The new crop is selling 5c‘
and 6c under old oats.

RYE -

Following the trend of wheat dur? ‘

ing. the past week rye is slightly
lower in price and the market is
quiet and steady.

BEANS
Due to reports“ of crop damage
the price of beans at Detroit ad—
vanCed some last week. Whether

demand improved or not makes lit»

tle difference at this point as the
price is apparently pretty well con-
trolled.

ern Idaho Bean Growers Association

A GLANCE AT THE ’ MARKE'I‘S
(U. 8. Bureau of Agricultural Economics)

Washington. D. 0.. for the week ending
September 19.

The height of the market season draws
near with the outlook for cash returns
fully as good as last season. There is
perhaps a little more cotton this year at
about the same price. and more com
which will be turned into meats at higher
prices. There is quite as much spring
Winter wheat
is light but bringing high prices and
there was large production of the other
grains. Potatoes are less in quantity by
one—fourth but twice as high in price and
there is an average crop of apples of bet—

 

, ter quality at about the same price.

*Dairymen, stock feeders and poultrymen
will have plenty of feed and their pro-
ducts are not low in price. Perhaps the
hay shortage is the worst general feature
but even that does not apply to all sec—
tions. Except in districts that suffered
most from drought and Winter kill, the
situation is considered good. Demand is
ﬁrst class and should stay so as long as
business of nearly all kinds continues
good. Export trade promises to take care
of most lines having a surplus over the
needs of the home market.

WHEAT

Prices lately have responded somewhat
50 latest crop conditions Wheat is off
a. little on better reports for spring wheat
production. It appears that the world
wheat supply may be six percent more
than last year, but our wheat market this
season is likely to be less affected by the
foreign market situation. Wheat has been
coming to market slowly. Corn is held
less ﬁunky despite reports or further
drought injury. Oats are plentiful this
season and as one of the cheaper grains
are being taken by feeders.

 

 

 

 

 

Week of' September 27
S the week of September 27 be-
gins in Michigan temperatures
will be rising and the sky cloud—

ing up. Then will follow storms of
rain and wind that will probably
last until Monday. During Tuesday
and Wednesday there will be a con-
tinuation of warm temperatures with
rain and probably wind.

There will be a. change to clearing
weather in this state about Thursday
but the last two days of the week
will see more rains. About Friday
temperatures will take a sudden drop-
in the state and the weather will re-
main moderately cool throughout
most of Saturday.

- Week of October 4

The cool weather that started last
week in Michigan will be rapidly
moderating during the early part of
11111 week but will again take a fall
about Monday or Tuesday.

The weather during the greater
part of this week will be fair. The
exceptions will be about Sunday and
Monday and again during the last
two days of the week.

Temperatures during the day time
will be warm» and the nights refresh-
ingly cool. The characteristic rain-
fall during the storm centers will be
light and scattered showers.

October Weather

Temperatures in Michigan for the
month of October will average about
normal. During the ﬁrst half of the
month they are expected to run be-
low the seasonal normal but will be
the reverse during the last two
weeks.

duction. .
. ,an CORN

New corn b‘egan to arrive at Chicago
a month earlier than last year. The
corn market is fairly steady but not set-
tled as yet. Mill feeds, except corn pro-
ducts. have worked a. little higher; on
good demand and limited stock at hand.
Good hay is selling well but trade is slow
for the poorer grades.

LIVESTOCK
‘ Market supplies of livestock are mod-
erate and price tendency slightly upward.
Demand for feeder stock continues active.
Lightweight hogs sell readily at top
prims. Fat lambs advanced about 50
cents. Demand good for fresh meats with
a slight upward turn of prices.
BUTTER

Butter markets ﬁrm. Prices are fairly
blah but drought has cut into pasturage
and impaired the prospect of heavy fall
production while hot weather has injured
quality. Storage stock is less than last
year but more than the average. Current
supplies are not accumulating. Prices are
about steady but holding with some dif-
ﬁculty under slack demand from the trade.
Foreign marks-ts - show little change.
Cheese prices bold easily and tend slightly
upward in response to a demand from
consumers. no great surplus in storage
and conditions recently not very favor—
able to heavy production.

PRODUCE

The produce season nears its height.
Shipments of leading fruits and vegetables
exceed 20.000 cars a week which is one—
third more than the year-round average.
Earliness continues a feature of the sea—
son to the last. also rather light pro-
ductlon. A further decrease of 9.000.000
bushels of potatoes and fully as much in
sweet potatoes were main items of the
September report. Since the report was
issued the weather has continued too dry
in various_ southern and western potato
sections, and some damage was caused in
northern districts by hard frosts. Prices
of green produce in general have slanted
downward since midsummer but have held
better in September than in August. The
level is still above last season for potatoes,
peaches and cabbage. It is about the
same or slightly lower for apples, pears,
cantaloupe, onions. celery and sweet po-
tatoes.
