FORM STORAGE AND MARKET
ASSOCIATION

HERE is considerable feeling
throughout the state that been
prices should be higher than at

present and more stable. Conditions
are such as to warrant such con-
clusions. With this in mind Jas. N.
McBride, well-known farmer living
near Burton; A. B. Cook. Master of
the State Grange, of Owosso, and
-Chas. B. Scully of Almont, have or-
. ganized the Michigan Bean Storage
and Market Association and hope to
assist in maintaining the price. We
have been informed that contracts
have been made with leading eleva-
tors whereby the grower can re-
ceive ﬁfty per cent of the market
price of his beans and storage cer-
tiﬁcates for the remainder. These
beams will go into a modern ware-
house fully insured and sold at such
time as will not break the market.
These certiﬁcates are transferable
and can be used for collateral ad-
vance. This plan is complementary
to holding beans at home until the
adequate price is reached and also
provides an outlet for those who de-
sire to sell their beans Without low-
ering the market. Working arrange-
ments are being made along these
lines with New York, California and
Idaho bean growers, so that prices
may be maintained. It might be
maintained.

“We are asking growers to in-
sist on not less than $5. 00 per hun-
dred weight for beans." declares
Jas. McBride. “It is tne opinion of
the very best elevator operators that
this price is reasonable and can be
maintained. When beans are $5. 00
per hundred, market them up to the
needs of the trade. When the mar-
ket begins to sag below this price,
hold beans back or make arrange-
ments for storage under the plan
outlined, with full details which
can be found at local elevators. This
seems to be the best advices and
concensus of opinion among those
which have the good of the interest
at heart. Threshing should be de-
layed on damaged beans."

Over 2,000 Attend Top 0’ Michigan Potato Show

Boys Run Their Dads Close Race For Prizes At Third. Annual Exhibit At Gaylord

HE third annual Top 0’ Michi-
gan Potato and Apple Show
held at Gaylord’s municipal

‘ auditorium, Nov. 4, 5 and 6 has
passed into history as the! greatest
show ever held in Michigan.

The greatness of the show did not
necessarily lie in the excessive num-
ber of entries, but it did excel in
quality of exhibits, interest express-
ed .by exhibitors and visitors and its
educational features. Over 300 en-
tries of potatoes and 185 entries bf
apples were made and the auditori-
um was crowded to capacity.

This was the ﬁrst time that apples
have been included in the contest
and Northern Michigan once more
surprised the world with her qual-
ity products of the farm and soil. To
have fully appreciated the apple
show one must have seen the dis-
plays which were banked upon the
wide stretch of the auditorium stage
and shown upon table around the
main ﬂoor.

Attendance Over 2000

The attendanEe at the show _in
previous years was always con51d-
ered excellent. However, this year,
in spite of the fact that many of
the farmers were busy with the har-
vesting of their crop which had been
delayed by inclement weather, more
than 2,000 people attended the
Show, viewed the exhibits, attended
the lectures, banquets and special
meetings.

Kings of former years were de—
throned and a new one crowned.
By virtue of his wonderful entry of
Rural Russets in the peck class, Mr.
Frank Wyrwick from Cheboygan
county was proclaimed “King of the
Spud.” Unbeatable in its own class,
this entry was also awarded the
sweepstakes of the Show. Mr. Wy-
rick also won the blue ribbon in the
60—1b. seed class over 17 other vari-
eties.

To select the “runner—up” for the
championship is a more difﬁcult
task. It lies between Mr. Peter Mc—
Vannel of Gaylord, who won three
blue ribons on his White Rurals,
his son, Edward, and Elmer Brudy,
14 year old boy from Wolverine,
Cheboygan county. In fact, were it
not for Messrs. Wyrick and McVan-
nel, the boys would have outclassed
their adults completely. In the be-
ginners class, six out of the ﬁrst ten
places were won by these youthful
farmers and one of them, Elmer
Burdy, even ventured into the so-
called “professional” class and car-
ried away second honors. What
these boys will do to their elders
next year is a—plenty. _

“In the Apple Division, Antrim
county growers were the outstand-
ing winners, although the sweep-
stakes tray was won by Mr. M.
Smiloski. F. H. Hemstreet and
Sons were the most consistent win-
ners but their entries would have
been a credit to any apple show in
the country.

Excellent education exhibits put
on by the State College and the
State Department of Agriculture at-
tracted a great deal of attention
and should prove of great beneﬁt in
spreading the gospel of “better and
bettter potatoes”. Mr. H. C. Moore
was in charge of the College exhibit.
and Mr. E. C. Mandenberg was in
charge of the State Department Ex-
hibit.
~~~There were many interesting class-
es and contests of all kinds to take
care of everyone. A grading con-
test provided for by the State De-

partment of Agriculture proved very
educational. - The baking potato

never showed before, brought out 70
entries, while the regular peck class
of Russet Rurals had 74 contestants.
An essay contest, fostered by the
Bloom Company, Detroit, among the
school children in northern Michi-
gan was participated in by over 200
children and Miss Ethel. Wixson of
Crawford county was proclaimed
the winner of the $15 in gold. 320
slogans were submitted by growers
and others for the slogan contest
fostered by the Bloom Company.
Judging contests among adults and
children aroused a great deal of in-
terest.

The crowning event of the show
when the win-
ners, in the essay contest (three
from each county) all the potato
club members and many others of
the coming generation were the
guests of the Show Association. On
that day the club contest, program,

, banquet, etc., took place and youth-

ful optimism reigned supreme.

One of the outstanding features
of the show, from a Visitor’s stand-
point, was the participation of the
Gaylord merchants. Every bit of
window space was taken up with
displays which informd the passer-
by that these merchants were sup—
porting to the limit anything that
affected favorably their biggest in—
dustry—-agricu'1ture. All business
places were closed Thursday and
Friday forenoon and the merchants
attended the show in a body. Hos—
pitality was the keynote throughout.

Many interesting speeches were
presented during the educational
programs. Prof. E. V. Hardenberg

of Cornell also serving as judge of
the potato show, said “Propaganda
will not make people eat more pota-
toes. Quality is the only factor
that we can depend upon for bet-
ter prices on the average. We are
inclined toward handling potatoes
too roughly but this roughness in
handling is largely a factor in the
price we receive on the consuming
market.”

“The potato is not an old show, it
is a good product and its appear-
ance is an item ”considered by the

buyer. Western apple growers have
capitalized on “good looks” and
they have even our editorial writers
asking “why the difference?"

“My gleanings are simple: an
increase in the yields per acre and
to decrease the losses sustained
through inferior grades.” Professor
Hardenberg concluded.

Our 0Wn Mr. H. C. Moore of the
Michigan State College gave a thor-
ough discussion on “hollow heart”
and also on the “Justiﬁcation of
Certiﬁed Seed.” ,

The leading speakers on the ap-
ple program which was held on
Wednesday afternoon were Prof.
H. A. Cardinell of the M. S. C. and
Mr. R. W. Rees, horticulturist for
the New York Central Lines. Mr.
Rees, who has recently made a com-
plete survey of all the important ap-
ple producing territories in the U. S.
and Canada, very clearly and con-
cisely outlined his opinions as to
the possibilities for apple produc-
tion in northern Michigan. He said
in part, “Northern Michigan has a
number of advantages over many
other apple producing centers. First
cheap land and comparatively low
taxes; second, produces apples with
good color, ﬁne texture and splendid

ﬂavor; third a large and rapidly
growing industrial territory within
a very short shipping distance."

Farmers’ Representatives Give Valuable Information to Both Producer and Distributor

tribution. Also the farmer repres-
entatives have learned that every
milk distributor is not a rascal.
They have learned that there is hon-
esty in the milk business and that
there is a justiﬁcation for some of
the practices which Seem unjust to
one who is not familiar with the
business side of milk distribution
and the factors which have a hear—
ing on the market. An intimate
knowledge of market conditions and
direct dealings between the distribu-
tors and the representatives have
brought about a feeling of conﬁ-
dence between the two groups.
Suspicious of Distributor

In the earlier stages of the devel-
opment of cooperative milk market-
ing, farmers were, as a general rule,
of the opinion that the milk dis—
tributor was a scoundrel and that it
was the duty of every farmer to
abuse and berate him. The men who
were selected to represent the farm—
ers in dealings with the distributors
usually held these views. It was not
long, however, until these farmer
representatives found out that more
could be accomplished by dealing on
a business basis with the men who
were handling the distributive end
of the milk business than by ﬁght—
ing and heaping abuse upon them.
Those farmers who soon found out
more about market conditions could
see that there were many sides to
the problem of marketing milk, and
that they had been mistaken in some
of their views.

While the farmer representatives
found out some things about mar—
keting milk which they never knew
before and they soon learned to look

upon the milk distributor in a. dif-
ferent light, cooperative organiza-
tion has had a very marked inﬂu«
ence upon the attitude of the milk
distributor. There were some abus—
es which the ,middleman had been
imposing upon the farmer. They
had felt that they had the market
all their own way. However, they
soon learned of the poWer of organ-
ized farmers and were more ready
to take action to see. that the
farmer. got more nearly what he
was entitled to.

Not All Satisfactory '

I do not want to leave the im—
pression that when the farmer be—
gan to take a hand in the matter of
marketing milk he found every—
thing just as it should be. He did
ﬁnd that some abuses existed and
immediately set forth to eradicate
the evils. However... the broad-mind-
ed farmer representative was equal-
ly ready to recognize that the milk
producers had been mistaken in tak-
ing some of the views they had
about the market.

A great many farmers have been
very narrow in their attitude toward
the whole problem of the milk mar—
ket. As soon as their representatives
began to learn about the market
conditions and did not continually
attack the distributors some farmer
members Charged these representa-
tives with disloyalty. This charge
of disloyalty usually had no other
foundation than that the accused
one did not eternally and forever
condemn and abuse the distributor.

The history has been about the
same in every market area. These
men who charged their representa-

We travelled all of the following

passing Mount Robson, highest point
in the Canadian Rockies, crossing
Yellowhead Pass into Jasper Park,
and stopped at the town of Jasper.
Here we found autos ready to take
us up to Jasper Park Lodge, on the
shore of Lac Beauvert, an Alpine
chalet built for the accommodation
of visitors to the park. This is an—
other wonderful spot in the moun-

tives with disloyalty have been in-
vited to come to the market and
learn of conditions for themselves.
In many cases they have done this
and found out that they were mis-
taken. Then they, in their turn
have been charged with selling out
to the so-called milk combine.

Farmer organization has accom-
plished much and the future stabil-
ity of the market depends upon the
continuance of a strong organiza-
tlon to keep in touch with market
conditions and continually look af-
ter the interest of the milk produc~
er. But this will never be possible
unless the members of these organ-
izations have conﬁdence in their
own representatives and give up the
childish practice of charging lack of
loyalty whenever some one disagrees
with their own prejudicial views.

Cooperation has brought about a
relationship between the buyer of
milk and the ofﬁcers of the produc-
ers’ organizations. These two groups
are working on the problems of the
market as they affect both the dis-
tributor and the producer. The pro—
ducers representatives have learned
about the problems of the market
and see things in a different light
than when they knew nothing of
these conditions. The working re-
lationship between organization of-
ﬁcials and the distributor group is
on a sound foundation of under-
standing and conﬁdence. The big
problem before these organization
ofﬁcials is to bring the information
they have to every member of the
association so there will be a well
informed membership. This is the
problem which is confronting every
cooperative organization in the
country today. A well informed
membership is essential to coopera—'
Much though must be
given to this problem of member-
ship relationship because it is so vi—
tal and so diﬂicult to handle.

rThe man who can come to the city
market and become acquainted with
the distributors and the problems of
the market usually takes a sensible
view of the situation. However, it
is obviously impossible for every
member to do this. Therefore, there
must be some way in which those
who do not get this viewpoint can
send the message back to those who
can not come. Until the mass of the
membership is well informed about
market problems and conditions, the
cooperative drganization w h i c h
hopes to remain on a democratic ba-
sis will never survive.

who was willing to admit the idea
had been his or hers. Remembering
how I used to ride the horses to pas-
ture when a small boy I thought it
would be a simple matter to ride one
again. And, after watching how
graceful the guides sat their mounts
as they walked or trotted about, and
was more than anxious to show my
skill as an equestrian. There were
several different trips that we could
take, one of them being only eight
miles but this was decided as being
too short and one 10 miles long was
chosen. It was sort of a “wonder-
ful” trip—~I wonder if I will ever
get over it, and I wonder if the horse
will ever get over it. Several others
of the party had their “wonder”
also. It seems that I had a horse
that was not gaited like myself, so
to speak, I invariably was coming
down in the saddle when he was go-
ing up, and results were very unsatis«
factory. I attempted to explain mat—
ters by telling various members
of the party what a poor horse I
have been given, and learned to my
chagrin, that the guide had informed
several that I had the best horse of
the lot.

FURNISIIE ALL AND GETS

I am renting a farm on shares.- I
am furnishing everything and giving
them one-third. "Now what I want
to know is this, do I have to pay all
the threshing bills, twins and fer-
tilizer used on the grain, and does
all the hay and grain that I feed
go in the barn and is it fed out of
my individual share for the year?
My daughter and I live with them.
There is only two in my family and
three in his. Now if I furnish one-
half of the living and fuel would
this be right? I live with them
and I help him to do his work and
he helps me. If there is fodder and
grain to buy to feed the stock dur-
ing the year do I have to pay for
it all? If there is anything more,
tell me about itf—H. C., Bancroft,

HE common practice where the

landlord furnishes everything

(i. e., land, buildings, stock and

tools) he will receive two—thirds of

the income and the tenant one-third
for his labor.

Such expenses as thresh bills,
twine, fertilizer, purchased seeds.
etc, are borne by both parties in

the same proportion as income re-
ceived.

Livestock owned in common that
come under the provisions of the
lease can be fed out of the undivid-
ed feed in a very satisfactory man-
ner, thus avoiding many complica-
tions that might otherwise arise.

Relative to the household ques-

LAW ON DOGS AT LARGE

Has a man any right to keep a
female dog and let it run at large at
all times? Has be any right to
shoot any male dogs that run on
his premises and are not doing any
harm? A farmer hired a man to
shoot a valuable dog; what steps
can we take to make him pay for
it? This man was seen when he
shot the dog—E. R., Bay County..

OMPILED Laws, 1922, Section
C 7284 (19) provides as follows:
“Any dog that enters any ﬁeld
or enclosure, outside of an incor-
porated city, unaccompanied by his
owner or his owner's agent shall
constitute a private nuisance and
the owner or tenant of such ﬁeld or
other enclosure, or his agent or ser-
vant, may kill such dog while it is
in the ﬁeld or enclosure without lia-
bility for such killing.” This stat-
ute applies to female as well as male
dogs—Legal Editor. ,

BANK WOUND COUPLER '

The Radio Department is what I
read ﬁrst in M. B. F. and it is al—
together too short to suit me. I
want to ask some questions. What
is a bank wound coupler? What is
the wave length of the Arlington
station? Also the meaning of the
dots that precede the dash in the
time signals? Could a receiver be
built so as to cover the broadcast-
ing and Arlington wave bands? How
are the elements of a vacuum tube
put in and sealed up?—A. D, Bea.-
verton, Mich

BANK wound coupler is one in
_,_ _ which the wire is wound on the

form in such a wuy'as to con-
serve space. It is started by wind-
ing two turns of wire on a form.
Call these turns 1 and two. Turn
3 now is wound between 1 and 2
but on ~top of them. Turn 4 now
takes its position along side of turn
2. Turn 5 is wound along side of
turn 3. Turn 6 is wound along side
of turn 4 and so on. This particular
example is two layer bank winding.

The Arlington station broadcasts
its time signals on a wavelength of
2500 meters. The dots represent
seconds.

A receiving set could be built to
do the work you mention. It would
be much better, however, to use a
“honeycomb coil” receiver. In such
sets various cells are used for dif-
ferent bands of wavelengths.

The glass bulb is placed around
the elements, sealed, and then the
air is pumped out.

FARMERS LIKE RADIO COURSE

LTHOUGH the courses being of-

fered by the radio school of the

Michigan State College through
broadcasting station WKAR are not
strictly » agricultural and include
such subjects as English, “botany,
forestry, history, sociology and zo-
ology, the college is receiving nu
merous letters principally from
farmers praising the course and the
way it is being received from the re
cently improved college station. The
course began Nov. 2 and will contin- ‘
ue until Dec. 19.

In January it is planned to offer
another course which will be strict-
ly agricultural. Although non—
farming subjects are being offered
in the present work, lectures on ag-
riculture dominate the program with
especial attention being given to
marketing, agricultural engineering.
These subjects are discussed on
Tuesday and Thursday evening.

Monday evenings the history, En-
glish and sociology departments
have charge of the program. Wed-
nesday zoology, entomology and for-
estry are taught, and Friday botany,
English and forestry lessons are
broadcast.

The entertainment features of-
fered last year are being continued
with a musical program Wednesday
evening from 8 to 9 o’clock, enter-
tainment features provided by de-
partments of the state government
Friday evening at the same time
and the Paciﬁic Coast dance pro-

J. B., Davison, Mich.

UCH items as threshing, silo-ﬁll-
lag and corn-bushing are gen-
erally stated separately in a

lease; no one of them covering the
entire group.

Threshing means threshing the
the small grains including beans.
Thus husking corn would not come
under thrash bill unless so stated
and agreed upon by both parties.

There is no deﬁnite rule relative
to sheep shearing, however. if the

ﬂock is of any size, it will require‘

extra iabor of a skilled nature and
must be done at a deﬁnite time,
thus coming under the same class of
labor a hired machine work. M

Sheep shearing, ' 3110 f l l l i n g,

PRIVATE PRAUI‘ICE FOR THE
PROSECUTING A’l'l‘ORNEY

Can a prosecuting attorney be a
private attorney for any person
within his jurisdiction as prosecu-
tor? When a person is recorded in
the Probate Court as insane and has
a life estate, can the Judge of Pro-
bate give anyone the right to take
them from their home, before they
have a guardian?——G. J., Lap-oer
County.

HE statute does not prohibit a
prosecuting attorney from rep-
resenting clients in civil cases.

The probate court could give anyone
the right to take an insane person
from their home if they were deem—
ed in such a. condition as to be a
menace to society—Legal Editor.

Is it the duty of the prosecuting

CAUSED BY INJURY OR

NEGLIGENCE?
A company bought a threshing
machine. They got incorporated

this spring. There were three men
working on it. One man was hired
to take care of the separator and
just look after it, one man to run
the engine and one to haul water.
They were moving from one job to
another and the clutch on the en-
gine wasn’t working so the man on
the engine asked the separator man
to come and put sand on it, and
while he was putting it on and had
his hand in the wheel the man on
the engine started it and caught

the separator man’s hand in the

wheel and hurt his arm. It didn't
look bad, it didn't bleed hardly
Where it was cut. The next morn-

ing he got up and went right back
to work, didn’t go to see a doctor

until Saturday, and he\got hurt on

Monday. The doctor examined his

arm and put medicine on it and

told him to keep perfectly quiet, but

that same night he went to a dance, _
the next day he got in a. Ford car

arm was so bad that they came home

and went back to the doctor and he

A New Experience
'HE scarcity of help was the
cause of our having a new ex-
perience in potato harvesting
this year. A near—by neighbor, who
never raises more than an acre or so
’ - Of potatoes, con-
ceived the bright
idea last spring
that potatoes had
been cheap long
enough and that
1925 was the
year to plant
heavier than
common, because
.vmost farmers
wouldn’t plant
even their usual
amount. He ac-
cordingly plant-
ed eight acres,
and the wisdom of his reckoning is
very much in evidence. He has
considerable help of his own, but no
potato machinery, so he suggested
furnishing his help to harvest our
crop and we could furnish the dig-
ger, crates, etc., to harvest his. This
same proposition has been put up to
us many times by farmers, generally
having only one or two acres to har-
vest and we have had so many in—
vitations we have had to decline
them all—but this fall with every-
thing shaped as it was, we conclud-
ed to try, for once, this changing of
work in potato harvest, and it work-
ed out quite satisfactorily. But such
a time as we did have with rain,
snow, and frozen ground. We av-
eraged only about one day’s digging
during a week, so it took us some
time to get both ﬁelds cleaned up,
and November was well started when
we had ﬁnished. _
* * It
Potato Buyers I
We have grown potatoes commer-
cially for twenty years, and have
had potato harvest seasons when
scarcely any buyers put in appear-
ance. Then, when high prices and
crop shortage were chief topics of
conversation, buyers were more or
less numerous, but this fall is the
limit. There have been four buyers
here, where there is generally only
one. And how interesting some of
They can explain
the potato situation as it exists all
over the country, and strange as it
may seem, prices are nearly always
certain to be lower! They explain
that a “bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush;” how much the in-
terest from the cash from the spud
crop would be by next spring; they
tell about the awful shrink, etc. I
am often relieved when they accept
my ﬁnal “no” and hit the trail
again. ' “
No, not all buyers are this way.
Many are quite the reverse. They
are busines men and meet a farmer
as though he, too, was a business
man and knew what he was doing.
Some of these buyers have become
our personal friends, and even
though we have never sold them
anything, they occasionally chance
to be in our vicinity and take the
time to call on us. Some of these
telephone us from long distances to
ask of the potato situation in our
section, etc. I.

Rather Late

Never have we seen the weather
so unfavorable for farm work as it
has been the last six weeks. There
was considerable clover cut for seed,
and here is November well started,
of it hulled. Yesterday
a neighbor asked us to help him
thresh his “buckwheat today, as It
had just become dry enough so they
thought it wouldvgo through a sep-
arator. Well, it rained nearly all
night and all this morning and the
buckwheat has another soaklng. A
day or two ago a man came to en-
gage our bean harvester to pull
twelve acres of beans! .. He says he

,bean’ prices are too low. The writer
expects to see choice beans sell for '

eight dollars a hundredweight be-
fore spring. They may not get that
high, and they may go higher—cer-
tain it is, we should think twice be-
fore selling any choice stuff at pres-
ent prices. ' ‘

The Storage 'House
No, the, potato storage house isn’t
done yet. The weather has been so
sobby we couldn't work at cement
work, and when by chance a fair
day did get wedged in, we had to

ing deal.
but at noon it cleared off quite nice-
ly. This gave us hope, and we got
our carpenters and helpers to come
this afternoon, and what a ﬁne lot
of work we have accomplished!
Another day’s time'with eight men

in the gang, and the cement work

will be about done and that is the
work requiring themost time. It’s
with this storage house as with
many other things, a farmer has to
do. He has often never done, nor
built a similar thing before, and if
he could do the work a few times
he would learn some short cuts and
labor saving ways. For instance,
we drew a large amount of stone to
put in the walls, unloading them
on a clay soil. They have lain there
several weeks, and it has rained so
much they have settled more or less
into the clay, and of course cannot
be used in cement work. There
was a bunch of weeds which were
cut, and a fork full of them were
covered up with stones. These stones
are clean and nice, and I can easily
see what a ﬁne thing six or eight

.fork fulls of straw would have been

on which to put the stone. This is

one of the several little things a

man ﬁnds out when it is too late.

A Sweet Clover Question

“In one of Mr. Meek’s articles he
mentioned sowing sweet clover at
the last cultivation of the corn he
intended to hog down. Did he think
it was a success?—Young Ruralist.”

NO, the sweet clover seeding of
which I wrote was not successful
Conditions Were quite fa-
vorable for its germination and
growth, and I was quite enthused
with its prospect. The soil was
loose and I believe this is one thing
sweet clover doesn’t like. It seems
to want a ﬁrm, solid soil—an old
roadside for instance. This sweet
clover was ﬁne when the hogs were
turned into the ﬁeld, but someway
it disappeared—slowly at ﬁrst, then
faster—only after a careful watch
was the cause of its disappearance
discoyered. The soil was loose and
the clover plants were quite strong
and tough, and the hogs simply
learned to pull the plant up, root
and all. When the hogs were sold,
there Were very few sweet ”clover
plants remaining. I am inclined to
think we cultivated our corn too late
that'year. 'Next year we shall try
sowing sweet clover in the corn
earlier, and of course, necessarily
stop cultivation earlier too. I some-
times think we cultivate our corn
more than is proﬁtable anyway. The
experiment stations seem to be com-
ing to the same conclusion, some Of
these tests showing only one culti—
vation. Just surface hoeing with a.
hand hoe, to remove the scattering
weeds produced just as much or
even more corn than the ﬁelds which
were thoroughly cultivated seven or
eight times. We are going to try
cultivating our corn more before we
plant it, and less afterwards. We
did this on a ﬁeld this year. It was
plowed early and worked more than
common before planting. It was
only cultivated twice,~ and I believe
it is th best cr‘op we ever had. -- It
isn’t altogether how many times you
cultivate a crop that counts,‘ it's
when and how you cultivate when

you are, at it. ' I am, quite certain.

  

we do not work ﬂeidsas lunches.

MONEY IN BERRY PLANTS

We have a small fruit farm and
would like to} sell plants. Would
you please give us information
about selling them?—Mrs. W., Da-
vison, Mich. ‘

KNOW of several cases where a
I very nice business in berry

plants and grape plants was
worked up from small beginnings
and in each instance it was done by
persistent advertising and by giving
the customers good stuff for‘their
money. The ﬁrst thing to do is to
put up a good legible sign in front
of your place telling what you have
to sell. Be sure the sign is easily
read and neat in appearance. If
there is a main road near your place
put a sign on the corner with an
arrow pointing towards the farm.
If you have a fairly large quantity
to sell, by all means advertise in the
classiﬁed section of the local news-
paper and in the farm papers. When
you advertise remember “the more
you tell the quicker you sell.” Don’t
just say “For Sale—Berry plants."
‘Such and ad is a waste of money.
Try something like this—“For Sale
—Cumberland Raspberry plants of
(finest quality. We aim to please.”
Another thing to remember is never
to advertise poor stuff. It you
have some poor stuff to get rid of
sell it to someone who can come to
the place and see what he is buying.
Send only good stuff to people who
answer your ads.

(Continued from November 7th issue.)
HAT could have brought back that
moment of recollection to Corvet,
Alan wondered; the ﬁnding of the
things which he had sent? What

might bring another such moment? Would
his seeing the Sherrills again—or Spear—
man—act to restore him?

For half an hour Alan paced steadily
at the bow. The storm was increasing
noticeably in ﬁerceness; the wind-driven
snowflakes had changed to hard pellets
which like little, bullets, cut and stung
the face; and it was growing colder.
From a cabin window came the blue ﬂash
of the wireless, which had been silent
after notifying the shore stations of their
departure. It had commenced again; this
was unusual. Something still more un-
usual followed at once; the direction of
the gale seemed slowly to shift, and with
it the wash of the water; instead of the
wind and the waves coming from dead
ahead now, they moved to the port beam.
and Number 25, still pitching with the
thrust through the seas, also began to
roll. This meant, of course, that the
steamer had changed its course and was
making almost due north. It seemed to
Alan to force its engines faster; the deck
vibrated more. Alan had not heard the
orders for this change and could only
speculate as to what it might mean.

His relief came after a few minutes

more.

“Where are we heading?" Alan asked.

“Radio.” the relief announced. “The
H. C. Richardson calling; she’s up by the
Manitous.”

“What sort Of trouble?"

“She’s not in trouble; it’s another ship."

“What ship?“

“No word as to that.”

Alan, not delaying to question further,
went back to the cabins.

These stretched aft, behind the bridge,
along the upper deck, some score on each
side of the ship; they had accommoda-
tions for almost a hundred passengers;
but on this crossing only a few were oc-
cupied. Alan had noticed some half dozen
men—~business men, no doubt, forced to
make the crossing and, one of them, a
Catholic priest, rcturnihg probably to
some mission in the north; he had seen
no women among them. A little group
of passengers were gathered now in the
door of or just outside the wireless cabin,
which was one of the row on the star-
board side. Stewards stood with them
and the cabin maid; within, and bending
over the table with the radio instrument,
was the operator with the second Ofﬁcer
beside him. The violet spark was rasp—
ing, and the operator, his receivers strap—
ped over his ears, strained to listen. He
got no reply, evidently, and he struck
his key again; now, as he listened, he
wrote slowly on a pad.

“You got ’em?” some one cried. “You
got ‘em now?”

The operator continued to write; the
second mate, reading, shook his head, "It's
only the Richardson again.”

“\Vhat is it?" Alan asked the officer.

“The Richardson heard four blasts of
a steam whistle about an hour ago when
she was opposite the Manitous. She an-
swered with the whistle and turned to—
ward the blasts. She couldn‘t ﬁnd any
ship." The ofﬁcer’s reply was interrupted
by some of the others. “Then . . . that
was a. few minutes ago . . . they heard
the four long again . . . They‘d tried to
pick up the other ship with radio be-
fore. . . . Yes; we got that here. . . .
Tried again and got no answer. . . .But
they heard the blasts for half an hour.
. . . They said they seemed almost be-
side the ship once. . . . But they didn’t
see anything.» Then the blasts stopped
. . sudden, cut Off short in the middle
as though something happened. . . . She
was blowing distress all right. . . . The
Richardson's searching again now. . . .
Yes, she's searching for the boats.”

"Any one else answered?” Alan asked.

“Shore stations on both sides.”

“Do they know what ship it is?”

“No.”

“What ship might be there now?”

The ofﬁcer could not answer that. He
had known where the Richardson must
be; he knew of no other likely to be
there at this season. The spray from the
waves had frozen upon Alan; ice gleamed
and glinted from the rail and from the
deck. Alan’s shoulders drew up in a
spasm. The Richardson, they said. was
looking for boats; how long could men
live in little boats exposed to that gale
and cold?

He turned back to the others about the
radio cabin; the glow from within showed
him faces as grey as his; it lighted a
face on the opposite side of the door——
a face haggard with dreadful fright.
Old Burr jerked about as Alan spoke to
him and moved awayalonc; Alan follow-
ed him and seized his arm.

“What’s the matter?” Alan demanded,
holding to him. ‘

“The four blasts!” the wheelsman re-
peated. “They heard the four blasts 1”
He iterated it once more.

“Yes,” Alan urged. “Why not?”

“But where, not ship ought to be; so

they couldn’t ﬁnd- the ship—they couldn't ,
‘ ﬁnd the ship !" " Terror, of awful-abject-

the crew, where night‘lunch for the men
relieved from watch had been set out, and
took a seat at the table opposite him.
The louder echoing of the steel hull and
the roll and pitching of the vessel, which
set the table with its dishes swaying,
showed that the sea was still increasing,
and also they were now meeting heavier
ice. At the table men computed that
Number 25 had now made some twenty
miles off its course, and must therefore
be approaching the neighborhood where
the distress signals had been heard; they
speculated uselessly as to 'what ship
could have been in that part of the lake
and made the signals. Old Burr took no
part in this conversation, but listened to
it with frightened eyes and presently
got up and went away, leaving his coffee
unﬁnished.

Number 25 was blowing its steam
whistle again at the end of every minute.

Alan, after taking a second cup of
coffee. went aft to the car deck. The
roar and echoing tumult of the ice against
the hull here drowned all other sounds.
The thirty—two freight cars, in their four
long lines, stood wedged and chained and
blocked in place; they tipped and tilted,
rolled and swayed like the stanchions
and sides Of the ship, ﬁxed and secure.
Jacks on the steel deck under the edges
of the cars, kept them from rocking on
their trucks. Men paced watchfully be—
tween the tracks, Observing the movement
of the cars. The cars creaked and groan—
ed, as they worked a little this way and
that; the men sprang with sledges and
drove the blocks again or took an ad-
ditional turn upon the jacks.

As Alan ascended and went forward
to his duty, the increase in the severity
of the gale was very evident; the ther-
mometer. the wheelsman said, had dropped
below zero. Ice was making rapidly on
the hull of the ferry, where the spray,
ﬂying through the snow, was freezing as
it struck. The deck was all ice now
underfoot, and the rails were swollen to
great gleaming slabs which joined and
grew together; a parapet Of ice had ap-
peared on the bow; and all about the
swirling snow screen shut off everything.
A searchlight which had ﬂared from the
bridge while Alan was below, pierced
that screen not a ship’s length ahead.
or on the beam, before the glare dimmed
to a glow which served to Show no more
than the ﬁne, ﬂying pellets of the storm.
Except for the noise of the wind and
water, there had been no echo from be-
yond that screen since the shore signals
were lost; now a low, far—away sound
came down the wind; it maintained itself
for a few seconds, ceased, and then came
again, and continued at uneven intervals
longer than the timed 'blasts of Number
25’s whistle. It might be the horn of
some struggling sailing vessel, which in
spite Of the storm and the closed season
was braving the seas; at the end of each
interval of silence, the horn blew twice
now; the echo came abeam, passed astern,
and was no longer to be heard. How far
away its origin had been, Alan could only
guess; probably the sailing vessel, away
to windward, had not heard the whistle
of Number 25 at all.

Alan saw old Burr who, on his way to
the wheelhouse, had halted to listen too.
For several minutes the Old man stood
motionless; he came on again and stopped
to listen. There had been no sound for
quite ﬁve minutes now.

“You hear ’em?” Burr’s voice quavered
in Alan’s ear. “You hear ’em 17”

“What?" Alan asked.

“The four blasts! You hear 'em now?
The four blasts!”

Burr was straining as he listened, and
Alan stood still too; no sound came to
him but the noise of the storm. “No,"
he replied. “I don‘t hear anything. DO
you hear them now?”

Burr stood beside him without making
reply; the searchlight, which had been

pointed abeam, shot it’s glare forwardr”

and Alan could see Burr’s face in the
dancing reﬂection of the‘ ﬂare. The man
had never more plainly resembled the
picture of Benjamin Corvet; that which
had been in the picture, that strange sen-
sation of something haunting him, was
upon this man's face, a thousand times
intensiﬁed; but instead»of distorting the
features away from all likeness to the
picture, ‘it made it grotesquely identical.

And Burr was hearing something—
something distinct and terrifying; but
he seemed not surprised, but rather sat-
isﬁed that Alan had not heard. He nod-
ded his head at Alan’s denial, and, with-
out reply to Alan’s demand. he stood
listening. Something bent him forward;
he straightened; again the something
came; again he straightened. Four times
Alan counted the motions. Burr was
hearing again the four long blasts Of dis-
tress! But there was no noise but the
gale. “The four blasts!” He recalled
old Burr’s terror outside the radio cabin.
The Old man was hearing blasts which
were not blown!

He moved on and took the wheel. He
was a good wheelsman; the vessel seemed
to be steadier on her course and, some-
how, to steam easier when the Old man
steered. His illness of hearing could do
no harm, Alan considered; they were of
concern only to Burr and to him.

Alan, relieving the lookout at the bow.
stood on watch again. The ferry thrust
on alone; in the wireless cabin the ﬂame
played steadily. They had been able to
get the shore stations again on both sides
of the lake and also the Richardson. As
the ferry had worked northward, the
Richardson had been working north too,
evidently under the impression that the
vessel in distress, if it had headway,
was moving in that direction. By its
position, which the Richardson gave, the
steamers were about twenty miles apart.

Alan fought to keep his thought all to
his duty; they must be now very nearly
at the position where the Richardson last
had heard the four long blasts; searching
for a ship or for boats, in that snow, was
almost hopeless. With sight even the
searchlight’s beam shortened to a. few
hundred yards. only accident could bring
Number 25 up for rescue, only chance
could carry the ship where the shouts—
or the blasts Of distress if the wreck
still ﬂoated and had steam—would be
heard.

Half numbed by the cold, Alan stamped
and beat his arms about his body; the
swing of the searchlight in the circle
about the ship had become long ago
monotonous, purely mechanical, like the
blowing of the whistle; Alan stared
patiently along the beam as it turned
through the sector where he watched.
They were meeting frequent and heavy
ﬂees, and gave warning Of these by hails
to the bridge; the bridge answered and
when possible the steamer avoided the
ﬂoes; when it could not do that, it cut
through them. The windrowed ice beat—
ing and crushing under the bows took
strange, distorted, glistening shapes.
Now another such shape appeared before
them where the glare dissipated to a.
bare glow in the swirling snow, he saw
a vague shadow. The man moving the
searchlight failed to see it, for he swung
the beam on. The shadow was so dim,
so ghostly, that Alan sought for it again
before he hailed; he could see nothing
now, yet he was surer somehow. that he
had seen.

“Something dead ahead sir!” he shout—
ed back to the bridge.

' The bridge answered the hail as the
searchlight pointed forward again. A
gust carried the snow in a ﬁerce ﬂurry
which the light failed to pierce; from the
ﬂurry suddenly, silently, spar by spar, a
shadow emerged—the shadow of a ship.
It was a steamer, Alan saw, a long, low-
lying Old vessel without lights and with-
out smoke from the funnel suanting up
just forward of the after deckhouse; it
rolled in the trough of the sea. The sides
and all the lower works gleamed in
ghostly phosphorencence, it was refraction
of the searchlight beam from the ice
sheathing all the ship, Alan’s brain told
him;' but the sight of that soundless
shimmering ship materializing from be—
hind the screen Of snow struck a tremor
through him.

TEXT: “For unto every one that hath
shall be given. and he shall have abund-
ance: But; from him that hath not, even
that which he hath shall be taken away."
Matt. 25:29. ‘\

UR text is found in an impres-
sive setting. Get your Bible and
ponder it. The application is
apparent. Our Master has gone into
another “country". Before he went

' he gave each one of us a part of

“his goods.”
he returns and “maketh a reckon-
ing” with us. To the one who has

‘ been faithful in the use of his ap-

portioned capital, he gives in abun—
dance. But, from the unfaithful, he
takes away even that which he had
given him. Verily, some day, when
all the transactions of life are in,
the books will be balanced in favor
of the diligent and faithful use of
talents given. “For Jehovah know-
eth the way of the righteous, but the
way of the wicked shall perish.”
First, then, every one has been
natively endowed. Every one has
natural powers and capacities that
constitute his stock-in—trade. This

' equipment is to be used day by day

to spiritual ends, for we live and
move and have our being in God.

corresponding absorbing power. That
is. if we do not have the fulness of
the spirit of God in our lives, we
have not surrendered; we would not
receive him. John had great native
capacity for a scientiﬁc farmer, but
he would not surrender to this gift
of nature. He wanted to be a doc-

direction. So he buried his natural

life which will give us no end
of trouble at the balancing time. We
live to moral ends. The gage of
battle is on and every one on the
side lines is a shirker in humanity’s
struggle upward.

This parable makes life celestial;
an opportunity to accumulate im-
perishable possessions. Do we act
that way? We have a certain kind
of admiration for the big man in in-
dustry, or for the man who has suc-
ceeded in adding something to the
world’s material wealth'.’ But the

life and the creative forces of man
will rebuild it. The capital of your
community is not in its big farms
and ﬁne herds, but its soul. How
big is its soul? Look at 'your
school houses and churches. Be-
hold the color of your politics. Ob-
serve the character of your young
people. There is no self-redemptive
spirit in material wealth.

But the teaching of the parable
has in view the ﬁnal reckoning time.
Then, “unto every one that hath
shall be given.” Both the ﬁve talent
and two—talent servant come with
rejoicing to tell their lord that they
had increased his capital. We may
have a like joy when the balance of
life is struck. Our Lord does not
care about our different capacities.
He judges us on the basis of our
life’s purpose. Have we been dili—
gent in using our powers in promot-
ing the highest good in life? How
much hardship and sacriﬁce have we
endured for the general good of all?
The Great Assessor measures not
according to the sum of our activi-
ties. Most folks feel they have fail-
ed in quantity of deeds. Character

motive. That you have been “suc-
cessful” or “popular” will not
count. How often have we seen a

selﬁsh striving after these things
throw our moral system into chaos!
But have you been faithful in using
your natural and accumulated ben-
eﬁts to the proﬁt of all? Then we
are to hear praise and promotion
from our Lord’s lips. “Well done,
good and faithful servant.” What
high value placed upon even little
things faithfully done! “I will set
thee over many things.” Everfaith-
ful is lifted up into high position.
“Enter thou into the joy of of thy

are ﬁnally reckoned with. On what

answer for their life. They are un—

their motives. And What shall they
say? One man, in his desperation
said that‘he was afraid he could not
be good enough to suit his Lord.
He profaned God by telling him he
was not a fair judge. This was the
reason given for not improving his
talent. What will be your reason?
God gave you power to bear fruit.
He lavished gifts upon us all that
we might scatter for him. How do
we know? Ah, we know it through
his self—revelation in the Cross. Can
we say anymore it is not more bless—
ed to give than to receive? Do you
reject this high-calling? You shall
know some day how this slothful-
ness has been charged against you.
You have lost. The talent is taken
from you because you would not use
it, and given to him who has shown
himself Willing to use it. Your fate
will leave you naked, but more.
“Cast ye out the unproﬁtable serv-
ant into the outer darkness.” What
does that mean? Nobody knows.
But it is sad knowledge of black
doom that awaits the slacker in life.

Each one must invest wisely one’s
own allotment of capital, else the
account of life will be balanced
against one. Was there ever a great-
er slacker than he Who refuses to
add his bit to the spiritual forces of
the world? He evades Christian
duty and repudiates Christian prin—
ciples. The beneﬁts of Christianity
accrue even to his own selﬁsh ad-
vancement, to the protection of his
property, and to the culture of his
children, yetrhe will carry no moral
or ﬁnancial responsibility for the
maintaining of a Christian program.

Do most men belong to this class?
Then when will “Thy will be done
on earth?" But there must be an
answer to this prayer. And it will
be found when we consider life a

HATS OFF TO THE POTATO GROWERS!
you want to sell something there is nothing
that will help you more than advertising—~—
providing that something is as good or a
little better than what the other fellow has for
sale. The farmer realizes this more and more as
time goes on, and he sees examples right near
home. Michigan has a mighty ﬁne example in
the potato growers of this state. During the
last week in October there was held at Green—
ville the West Michigan Potato Show and the
entire state was represented in the entries. Then
during the ﬁrst week in November there was the
third annual Top 0’ Michigan Potato Show at
Gaylord, with over 300 entries and an attendance
of over 2,000. Last week the third show within
as many consecutive weeks was held at Mayville,
in the Thumb district, and here too were found
entries from all sections. On top of this comes
the announcement from the Michigan State Col—
lege that a committee composed of men repres—
enting all the potato growing sections of this
state has been appointed to have charge of a po—
tato show to be held in connection with Farmers’
Week at the College next February. As quality
production and not quantity production is the
idea back of these shows and in the leading talks
is it any wonder that potatoes from Michigan are
shipped into nearly every state in the Union?
Just as competition at the county and state fairs
encourages farmers to produce crops or animals
that are better than their neighbor, so do these
shows beneﬁt the potato industry of Michigan.
Our hats are off to the potato growers of
Michigan.

MORE ABOUT BEAN ADVERTISING FUND

NE of our friends, an elevator man in the

central part of Michigan, read our editorial

about the farmers having refunded to them
the money they contributed to the Michigan bean
advertising fund that fell through and has writ-
ten us to the effect that the farmers should not
be obliged to ask for a refund of the money they
contributed. He states that as soup as the ad-
vertising money was returned to his company
they mailed to all of the farmers who sold them
beans, checks covering the amount they con-
tributed to the fund Without any deduction or
any expense of any nature. We quite agree
with our friend. No farmer should be obliged
to ask for a return of his money. It should be
returned to him just as soon as possible after
the elevator man received it and we hope that in
no case will any of our readers be obliged to ask
their elevator man for their money.

THE INTERNATIONAL AT CHICAGO
HE greatest live stock show held in the Unit~
ed States annually, the International, opens
at Chicago November 28 and continues until
December 5. As in years past this “Supreme
Court of the Live Stock Industry" will be crowd—
ed with the choicest animals of the land, to be
exhibited from individually up to carload lots.
Live stock from every section meets here in com-
petition and our own state, through individual
breeders and its agricultural college, always
brings home a liberal number of the awards in

in connection with the Live Steel:

\

 

 

In the Hay and Grain show, held

for getting the blue ribbons. Last” year s Mich-
igan man was crcTWned “Hay King" winning
sweepstakes for the' third consecutive year, as

  

well as several other; prizes, while other farmers.
from our state succeeded-in securing most of the

other awards in the .hay classes. ~0ur showings
in the soft red winter wheat, oats, rye. ﬁeld
beans, and soy beans classes were unbeatable in
many instances.‘and.much of the prize money
came to Michigan. This year our farmers who
exhibit annually at Chicago declare they are go-
ing to do better than ever and we hope you are
planning on attending the International to see
their exhibits. There isn’t a state in the union or
a province in Canada that produces better live
stock or better hay or grain than Michigan, and
it is at the International that oneﬁgets/af chance
to see how it looks in competition with that
from other states or Canada. If you attend this
year you will return feeling more than ever that
we have the best state in the Union. Remember
the dates, November 28 to December 5, and see
your railroad agent about reduced rates.

CROP REPORT ON POTATOES AND BEANS

’CCORDING to Verne H. Church, in his crop

report of November 11, the loss on Michi-

gan’s potato crop caused by freezing will
amount to about 10 per cent of the total crop of
26,300,000 bushels. Also there was still nearly
a third of the crop in the ﬁeld. From the re—
ports we receive we are inclined to believe the
estimate of damage is rather low.

The damage to the bean crop in this state may
reach 20 per cent. according to the report, while
the amount of beans still in the ﬁeld is estimated
at 30 per cent. The Michigan Agricultural Eco-
nomics Committee. after a, careful study of re-
ports and personal experiences, declared the loss
would be about 25 per cent and we are. of the
opinion that his ﬁgure is not too high. If there
is 30 per cent of the crop still in the ﬁelds it
would seem that the percentage of loss would be
at least this high because the former has had no
opportunity to harvest these beans and by this
time a. large per cent of them are not worth the
time. it would require to get them stored and
threshed. And it must be remembered that mony
acres of beans that are now stored were in poor
condition when hauled and may pick heavily.

the night in safety without any expense to them.
At one time the Michigan State Fair was con—
sidered one of the leading annual expositions in
the United States. and proper stops should be.
taken to again establish it among the leaders.
Frankly, we believe. that Michigan can havc a.
state exposition that, is second to none and we
hope the new ofﬁcials will share this view with us.

HAVE YOU PUT AWAY THE MACHINERY?

AVE you put away the machinery for the

winter yet? The piece of machinery that

stands in the ﬁeld or under a tree all Winter
will not Operate efﬁciently next season when
every minute counts. One winter in the open,
exposed to the rain and snow, is harder on a tool
than years of wear, as has been proven in thous-
ands of instances. If you have no tool shed build
one, even if you have to borrow the money, be-
cause it will be a proﬁtable investment, and get
your valuable machinery under cover. Many
tools a, farmer owns tie up considerable capital
and are used only a short period of time in the
year. ‘~‘Phey will prove rather expensive in the
long run if left for rust to get in its work, but
with proper housing and care will last years to
pay for themselves many times over. ' When put-

uoe of grease, oils and points, is also money prof-

, crops.

more agreeable, but it is stood business to take 5

and we read many suggestions on which

taxes should be cut or abandoned. Taxes
are, foremost in the minds cf the people at, pres-
ent and without question will occupy the atten-
tion of Congress when it convenes next. month.
0f the many plans advanced all have merits and
by picking the best from each one there is no
question but a good program of reduction can
be workedout. One part of most plans that we
are not in favor of is to lowerthe income tax
and exempt incomes of $5,000 or less. There
are millions of people in the United States who
would not be paying one per cent of what they

should towards the support of the government if *

it was not for 9 income tax: It is not fair to
expect the property owners to supply all of the
money and the others share the same beneﬁts.
And the man who contributes toward the sup-
port of his government feels a certain amount
of responsibility as to the proper functioning of
that government, he is interested in voting for
the best ofﬁcials and in the observance of the
laws of his country. It is an unusual hired man
that takes a real interest in a. farmer’s business,
but if he becomes a partner, perhaps only in a
small way, his.» outlook and feeling toward it
change. Once it becomes partly his own busi-
ness he feels a certain amount of responsibility
as to its success or failure. The same is true in
the business of government in our estimation,
and we believe the income tax should stand, while
any reductions should apply to taxes that bear
heavily on the property holder who many times
can not make enough money on his inVestment
to provide an income to pay a tax on.

WHAT NEXT?

RECENTLY we received a little booklet and
across the ﬁrst page was “Farming by Wire-
less”. Reading into the booklet we found

that it was not what it had ﬁrst seemed, being
the radio program of an agricultural college, but
it set us to thinking if the statement, “Farming
by Wireless”, would ever happen in our time, or
was it possible. I
let us consider what has been done with radio
within the last two or three years. Aeroplanes
went into the air pilotless, ﬂew about and re-
turned to the earth, and all the time they were
directed by a man with a radio who remained
on the ground. Not long ago there appeared in
the daily press a story about a. driverless auto-
mobile traveling the streets of New York City,
during a time of heavy traﬂic, and it was control-
led by a man with a radio in another automobile
following at some distance in the rear. Experi-
ments have proven that radio can be used to
stop motors of aeroplanes in the air and cause
them to crash to earth. Right here in Michigan
3. test was conducted recently to prove that a.
train can be operated by radio and the test Was
very successful, the train being under perfect
control at all times. Most of you have seen
pictures in the _daily press that were sent by
radio, and it was recently stated that motion pic-
tures had been sent for some distance and it
would not be long before the owner of a radio
receiving set could sit in his favorite chair in his
own home and enjoy a moving picture with the
characters speaking their parts. Who dare say
that we may not farm by wireless some day?

THANKSGIVING

ApAlN Thanksgiving is but a. few days off, and

we have visions of the bountiful feedt that

most of us will sit down to on that day.
We will not Whet your appetite by naming over
the many dishes that Mother will serve, but it
is sufﬁce to say that most of us menfolks will
be in a. stupor all of the rest of the day. We
will marvel at the capacity of our stomach and
express regret that we can not eat more, all in
one breath. But let us not forget the purpose
of Thanksgiving Day and its feast, and let us

kneel down and thank our Heavenly Father for-

this year of prosperity and plenty.

 

_, WISE SPENDERS
government bulletin which relates the story

of the organization and management of 160- ‘

acre farms in a typical Corn-Belt section
says, “Financially successful 160-acre farmers
are generally wise spenders." They have com-
fortable homes with modern conveniences, eﬁlcientv
machinery for housekeeping as well as for raising
crops. The tendency is to regard money spent
for such improvements as an investment rather
than an indulgence in personal comfort It raises
the standard of living and shows the children
that farming is more than raising and selling

LAIIONTAN VALLEY SUGAR
"In 1921 some men» came here
selling stock in the Lahontan Val-
ley Sugar Compgny, of Nevada, and
as it looked like agood proposition
my idlke bought about $1,500
worth. For a while they received
letters but for a long time now they
have been unable to ﬁnd out any-
thing about the company. Can you
tell us anything about the com-~
pm?"
Lahontan Valley Sugar Com-
pany is a defunct company hav-
ing failed to pay its 1923-24
license tax and in accordance with
the law, its charter has been tem-
porarily revoked. So it cannot le—
gally carry on business within the
state of Nevada. The company may
be reinstated by paying its back
taxes and penalties.

CROOKED AGENT

is human nature to be selﬁsh
but wouldn't this be a most un-
interesting old world if every-
body took no thought as to the wel-
fare of the other fellow. If our
only interest in life was self, with
no thought of love or sacriﬁce for
your neighbor, we would have a
world most undesirable. It is the
little sacriﬁces people make for us
or we make for other folks that
makes life worth living. During the
past week we received a letter from
a subscriber who was victimized by
a shyster magazine agent and he
wrote to us giving the whole story,
asking that we publish it so that
other readers might learn about this
agent thus preventing their losing
money. That is a real sacriﬁce, be-
cause many of us are victimized at
some time but pride prevents most

of us telling anyone about it.
Our subscriber was approached by
a young man claiming to represent
the "Home Comfort Magazine of
Birmingham, Alabama" and was
urged to subscribe to that publica-
tion. As an extra inducement the
. agent carried a box of toilet goods
‘and a sample sauce dish offering
each one who subscribed the choice
of a 26-piece set of dishes or the
toilet goods—to be delivered within
a few days. The magazine and pre-
mium cost the victim $1.50 right on
the spot and he received a receipt
from the agent showing he had
“paid in full" for “Home Comfort
Magazine' ’for one year and was to
' get a premium of “28—piece set
'dlshes." Sounded like a real bar—
n to our subscriber so he handed
over $1.50, got his receipt and then
awaited delivery of the dishes with-
in a few days———but none showed up.
Then he wrote to “Home Comfort
Magazine of Birmingham, Alabama"
ng a complete history of his
(Kiteﬂal with their agent, and a
few days later his letter was return-
ed to him and across the front the
post ofﬁce department had stamped
“Not in Directory." So watch out
for this fellow or any other who
wants to sell you "Home Comfort
Magazine of Birmingham, Alabama.”

iery that 'reader would do well to
accept with caution. It is a chain
scheme, a woman buying a ticket

'for $1.00 and then selling three

more tickets .to other women, and
for the $4.00 thus remitted to the
company, ﬁve pairs of silk hose, said
to be worth $5.00, are obtained. A
few years ago we knew of a ﬁrm
selling silk petticoats by this method
and the postoﬂice authorities stop-
ped it.

“Chain selling is nothing new. It
has been tried out a number of
times with diﬂerent articles. In the-
ory it may appear legitimate but
there are always some investors who
will lose, for the success of the plan
will depend upon everyone carrying
out his part of the agreement even
though the articles sold are worth
the money. To those who have ask-
ed for our advice, we say we can
not recommend the chain selling
method."

REFUSE ADVERTISING

MATEUR “eye doctors", who

have had no experience or the

proper training for testing eyes
and ﬁtting glasses, are today sell-
ing glasses to farm folks all over the
country. There are companies that
make cheap spectacles and employ
agents to sell them at a nice proﬁt.
Only last week we received an ad‘
vertising order from one of these
companies. The advertisement read:
“Agents: No competition selling
spectacles, guaranteed to satisfy,
Only $3.98. Pay daily. We deliver
collect. Nearly everybody buys.
$10.00-$25.00 daily easily." We
have no space in our columns for
advertising of this type, so back it
went in the next mail.

It is absurd to think that glasses
can be ﬁtted by any person who has
not had the proper training or has
not the proper equipment. Nine
chances out of ten the spectacles
you purchase from one of these
agents are just the same as the ones
your neighbor got from him. They
are ground so that they magnify,
and when things look larger and
plainer through the glasses than
with the naked eye one is apt to con-
clude that their eyes have been ﬁt-
ted properly. It is not true. There
are many reasons for eye trouble
and no two cases require exactly the
same kind of glasses if the trouble
is be eliminated. Do not trust an
agent with your eyesight; go to a
qualiﬁed and established optomet-
rist with the latest scientiﬁc instru-
ments and be properly ﬁtted.

we received a letter from Mrs.

L. regarding a deal she had
with a Chicago company, purchasing
a self-heating iron which arrived
with the handle broken. She ad-
vised the company returning the
handle and they sent here another

it and received still another that
failed to ﬁt. Needing an iron real
badly she went to town and pur-
chased one, then returned the one
she had purchased from the Chicago
company requesting that they re-
fund her money. They refused to
do this, so she wrote us and we got
in touch with them. The above lct-

NEW IDEAS FOR THANKSGIVING
' , DINNER -
DD to your oldrstandbys a few
' different dishes and also a few
frills and you will give your
Thanksgiving dinner a new note of
up-to-dateness that is desirable.

If you stuff your Thanksgiving
bird, use a new kind of stufﬁng for
»a change. Or perhaps it would be
best not to stuff it at all and have
the meat retain all its savory juices.
serve the turkey then with cro-
qnettes, such as sweet-potato, oys-
ter or nut croquettes. Stuffed and
baked vegetables are also nice to
serve with the roast if stuffing or
dresing has not been. used‘in the
bird.

Serve the cranberries in a salad,
ice, spiced or as dessert cranberry
Bavarian instead (If the jelly or
sauce. If you prefer the jelly, serve
it in some novel form. Candy some
cranberries. They are nice to gar-
nish with and to serve with grape-
fruit as the ﬁrst course. Add a ta<
blespoon of the thick cranberry syr<
.- up to each grapefruit half and gar-
nish the top with the candied cran-
berries.

I Use them in an apple appetizer.
Cut large tart apples into slivers the
length of the apple; to a pint of

" these add a half—cup of sweet cider
or bottled grape-juice and one-half
cup of sweetened cranberry—juice;
the juice of an orange or two or a
little pineapple-juice may be added
also if desired. Let the apple stand
in this juice for a While and serve
in sherbet—glasses with a candied
cranberry or two on the top.

If pumpkin pie is served, why not
add a few frills to it such as bits of
preserved ginger added to whipped
cream and piped around the edge
of the pie before serving, or cream
cheese whipped in with cream and
piped in roses over the pie, or per-
haps just a little shredded coconut
sprinked over it?

Try a butterscotch pie in place of
a plain apple pie, or some fruit
tarts. Mince pielets are nice if a
special mince is used of candied
fruits mixed with apples and nut-
meats. Moisten with fruit—syrup or
jelly. Top these pielets with a mer-
ingue or marshmallows melted if
you like and you have something
different.

Here is something new in the way
of entrees or salads. Instead of the
usual mashed and creamed vegeta—
bles add a baked stuffed vegetable
of some sort. Boiled turnips form-
ed into cups will hold buttered peas,
beans or creamed corn. Boiled beets
may be formed into cups which hold
pickled walnuts or prunes—~these
to be served with the roast.

Stuffed onions and tomatoes are
always nice, and also stuffed egg-
plant. Diced carrots, potatoes and
turnips combined with a few peas
are nice baked en casserole, mois-
tened with a cream sauce or stock.

For a heavy meal nothing is nicer
for dessert than a frozen fruit ice
or a Bavarian cream made of fruit,
especially if the dinner has com-
menced with soup or canapes in—
stead of a fruit appetizer. If you
have a fruit appetizer at the begin-
ning of the meal and a fruit salad
or cranberries, it would be all right
to have for dessert a heavier pud-
ding with a sauce.

The ﬁsh is stuffed with a mixture
made of boiled blanched chestnuts,
sliced sweet potato, onion and one
apple combined. Just before remov-
ing this from the oven, cover with
slices of tomato or lemon, sweet
red and green peppers, and minced
parsley. Have the oven very slow
and let remain until these vegeta—
bles are tender. You can use the
broiler for this.

The celery salad may he made by
combining th apple or part of the
apple that has been removed with a
ﬁnely chopped celery and some chop-
ped nut meats, and dress with may-
onnaise before ﬁlling into the apple
cups. Choose large red apples if
you can obtain them, and leave the
skins on to give color to the table.

SELECT COLORS SUITED TO
TYPE

OMEN are often tempted to

wear colors unsuited to their

type because of the popularity
of those colors. Extension special-
ists in clothing suggest these com-
binations for various types:

1. Black or dark brown hair,
brown, gray or blue eyes can usually
wear blue of all shades, cream,
ivory, golden and tan in browns,
dark red, blue gray, all other shades
of gray and mustard and amber yel—
low.

2. Olive skin, brown or black
hair, blue or gray eyes: black, only
when worn with cream collar or a
touch of color; chestnut and gold-
en brown, navy blue, warm shades
of gray, crimson, old rose.

3. Dark sallow type. She must
wear the dark and dull shades with
touches of bright colored trimming,
as rose, ﬂame, orange.

4. Auburn hair with blue or
brown eyes takes black, especially
in thin materials, rich shades of
brown, dull and dark greens, violet,
pearl and dove gray, navy, peacock
or dark blue.

 

some; , .d,
. some paste and a clean dustcloth

 

5. Sallow blondes must be care-
ful in choosing their colors, but they
can wear soft gray combined with
rich tones, as rose or burnt orange;
dark red, navy blue, creamy white,
rose.

6. Black hair, brown eyes and
dark skin takes golden brown, black
with touches of color, dark green,
pale or dark blue, clear red or crim-
18011, coral, pale or old rose, any yel-
ow.

7. The golden haired girl with
fair skin and blue eyes wears black,
white, very dark brown, all shades
of blue, delicate yellow, pale pink or
old rose, warm shades of gray and
green.

,8. The elderly woman with gray
hair should choose for her colors,
black, if trimmed in color, creamy
white, dark blue and violet.

The ﬂeshy ﬁgure ought to wear
“retiring” colors, as blue greens,
blue, brown, gray and black, while
thin ﬁgures need the “advancing"
colors, red. yellow, orange, rose and
bright bl. as to increase the size.

AN HOUR FOR LITTLE THINGS
QUEAKY doors, windows that
stick, a missing castor, drawers
that won't pull out—any num-

ber of little things about the house
need just a moment or so of atten-
tion, yet no one seems to have any
time to give it. The squeak annoys
everyone, each time the door opens,
but who gets the oil can and puts a
few drops of oil on the hinges? An
hour probably would be time enough

to take care of every one of these,

small sources of annoyance. Get a
small supply of castors, an oil can,

Remove Grease Stains from Felt—On

you tell me how to take grease stains
out of feltff—Mrs. T.
—We would recommend the use of ab-
sorbent substances—blotting paper, ful-
ler’s earth, brown paper, French chalk.
powdered magnesia. or white talcum pow
der for felt or ﬁne materials; corn meal
or salt may be used for carpets. rugs.
and other coarse materials.

The use of absorbents generally is ob
fective only on spots of grease or oil un-
mixed with particles of dirt or metal.
The advantage of using them are that
the fabric is not wet and there is no
danger of leaving a ring, as in the ease
of grease solvents. In using unglazed

 

. brown paper, lay it on each side of the

stain and apply a warm iron. The grease
is melted and is absorbed by the paper.
To use the absorbent powders, lay the
stained fabric upon a ﬂat surface and
spread a layer of the absorbent over the
stain and work it around gently so as
not to pull the ﬁbers. As soon as it be-
comes gummy, shake or brush it off and
repeat the process until the bulk of the
stain is removed. Then apply another
layer of the absorbent and allow it to
remain over night, or longer if necessary.
This removes all traces of the stain, and
in case of slight stains the preliminary
treatment is unnecessary. Then dust or
brush off the absorbent thoroughly. 11
it is not convenient to let the stain stand
over night, place a. layer of cloth or
brown paper over the absorbent and apply
a. warm (not hot) iron for several min-
utes. In the case of stains made by
solid fats, which must be melted before
they can be absorbed, the use of the
warm iron is necessary—Carrie L. Wil—'

Wants Recipes.——Will someone send a
recipe for grape pie and one for a cooked
frosting made with the yolks of eggs?
Also one for fipsting made with marsh-
mallows? I guess everyone knows m
to make angel food with two egg whites
and a cup of hot milk, but can anyone
send a recipe for a cake made with the
hot milk only using two whole eggs? It
is very light and will be yellow. I an
anxious for the recipes as I know they
are nice. Thank you.—-—Mrs. E.

Types of Weddings.—Simple Wedding!
——The simplest wedding is that in which
bride and bridegroom, nearest relatives
and a few intimate friends take part. Of
this type is:

1. The "Dawn Wedding," 2. very per-
sonal innovation which brings together
the members of the wedding party just
before sunrise at some spot of great
natural beauty. to be united just as the
dawn touches the hills with its rosy ﬁn-
gers. The thought of nature thus irradiat—
ing the ﬁrst day of the new life with the
golden light of promise is a very charm-
ing one.

2. Simple garden weddings or spring
weddings in a. blossoming orchard are
variations of. the “nature” wedding al-
ready described.

3. The simple house or church wed-
ding, with only members of the family,
few or no guests present and decorations,
etc” reduced to a. minimum.

Weddings Between Elaborate and Sim-
ple.~—This type of wedding includes every
one of the many variations in which sim-
plicity in some respects is combined with
elaborations in others. The weddings
which represent a medium between ex-
treme simplicity and the lavish are in
the great majority.

Elaborate ,VVeddings.—1. The formal
church wedding which unites hundreds
of guests, and every possible elaboration
in the way of clergy, ritual. costume.
music, and attendance (bridesmaids.
maid-of—honor, ushers, pages, etc.)

2. The formal house wedding where
the solemnity of a parallel church func-
tion is secured by special decoration (the
use of wooden standards with bouquets
and white ribbon to make the bride’s
path to the altar, an actual temporary
altar with altar-cloth, musis, etc.) and a
great number of guests. '

Salt Rising Bread.——-—-At noon set the
rising as follows: One cup mashed pota-
toes, four level tablespoons corn meal,
two level tablespoons sugar, one teaspoon
salt, one quart boiling Water. Place where
it will keep warm (this is very essential)
in the morning pour off the liquid only
and blend with it one pint of sweet milk
heated and cooled to luke warm, add one
and one—half teaspoons salt. two table-
spoons shortening and enough ﬂour to
make a soft batter a trifle thicker than
cake batter. Stir lightly, do not beat.
Set in warm place to get light about one
and one—half hours. When risen to double
in bulk stir in warm flour to make a
dough that can be kneaded. Knead ﬁf-
teen to twenty minutes then mold into
loaves at once. Let rise to double in bulk
and bake in quick oven. If ﬂour browns
in ﬁve minutes in the oven it is all right
to bake. Remember warmth is necessary.

THANKSGIVING AT GRANDMA’S

HERE'S turkey, of course, on the
table,
With\ cranberry sauce standing

near;
One can eat Just as much as he's able
Without hearing, "You'll be sick, dear.”

For Grandma believes at Thanksgiving
One can eat lots of turkey and cake;

She don’t make one tired of living
V'By hintinr one‘s stomach will ache.

I can't see the reason of roasting
And making things spicy and sweet,
If, when they are done, folks keep boast-
ins
They're too rich for people to eat.

My Grandma is, sure when she's cooking
The things that she cooks can be “ct,”
She isn’t a woman that's looking
For trouble from good things, you bet.

She says that our stomachs. like rubber,
Can stretch to a wonderful size;

So she’s never stingy with ”grub”——ner
Don’t stint folks in cookies and pies.

So she makes Thanksgiving just splen—
did-—
There's plum pudding, turkey and cake,
Nuts. apples and mince pies, all blended,
Till there isn't-room left for an ache.

“3m t9 the netlu'e of the ruling

 

EAR EDITOR: The recent in-
stances in twp of our southern
states in which men of the. ne-
gro race were murdered by mobs of
the white race demands more than a

passing notice.

In the ﬁrst place a negro who had
attacked a white woman was taken
from the ofﬁcers who had arrested
him and burned at the stake by a
mob. In the second instance an in-
sane negro who had killed one of
‘ the female attendants in the Asylum
where he was conﬁned was taken by
a mob and chained to a tree and
then beaten to death.

In the ﬁrst instance the negro did
not have murder in his heart while
those who took his life did have
murder in their hearts and in the
second case the insane negro was
not responsible for killing the wo-
man while those who killed him in
a cruel manner were responsible
and it would appear that our nation—
al government has a duty to do in
this matter, the constitution requir-
ing that no person shall be deprived
of his life or liberty without due
process of law.

The writer of these lines was ear—
ly taught that the color of the skin
does not and cannot determine the
character of the person and it may
be right to call the attention of
those murderers of those negroes to
the fact that in the days of African
slavery it was members of the white

male slaves and later sold the pro-
duct of their lust on the auction
block. And it was the ofﬁcial act
of the lamented, noble President
Abraham Lincoln Who freed the
slaves and prevented the repetition
of such crimes—J. T. Daniells, Clin—
ton County.

MORE ABOUT PLANTING
“IN THE MOON” '

EAR EDITOR: In reply to Mr.

Standish, Mason county, in re-

gards as to why we planted our
corn in the Full Moon; we aim to
do so three days ere the Full, if
right sign for quick strong germina—
tion. We had to take April 28th,
fruitful sign, in ﬁrst quarter of New
Moon, less strength, longer germin-
ation, but the fruitful sign gave the
required quick germination to ma-
ture in this northern climate ere
frost, with Mars (planet) ruling of l
slow growth and draughty.

Alfalfa and sweet clover, July

' Potatoes planted April 23rd. New

J‘DCUS were ascending for top growth
we caught the big, strong semi-fruit-
ful sign, it not so large a crop more
goes over the screen‘ than a huge
crop of smaller sizes.

We had to take this sign as the
other signs from full moon were all
of slow growth and barren. Planets

not to lie there and rot. Our po-
tatoes were harvested and in mar-
ket two weeks before snow, stocks
dead, potatoes well matured, also
corn all would have been harvested
earlier, but were busy with other
work.

“And the signs shall be for the
days and for the seasons.’.’

The moon’s inﬂuence on the earth
is marvelous when the apparent
manifestations are the phenomena
of the rising and falling of the tide.
The earth under the moon’s inﬂu«
ences, acts as though breathing, ex-
panding and contracting. If it were
not for the effect of the moon’s in-
ﬂuences, coal and other minerals,
metals would not develop and»
change in size, weight, color and ap-
pearances.

tor, not alone for the sun, but for
all the other planets, and produce

Ciii‘cd His Rupture

I was badly ruptured while lifting a
trunk several years ago. Doctors said my
only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got
hold of something that quickly and com-
pletely cured me. Years have pziSSed and
the rupture has never returned. although
I am doing hard work as a carpenter.
There was no operation, no lost time, no
trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will
give full information about how you may
ﬁnd a complete cure without operation, if
you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Car—
penter, 82M Marcellus Avenue, Manus—
quan, N. J. Better cut out this notice
and show it to any others who are rup—
tured—you may savo a life or at least
stop the misery of rupture and the worry
and danger of an operation.——(Adv.)

ERS’ ASSOCIATION
(Continued from Page 4)

All of this does not mean that the
membership should not always be
alert to see that their officials do
not betray the interests with which
they have been intrusted. ’ This is a
duty of the member just as it is the
duty of the citizen to know about
the honesty of his public ofﬁcers.
But distrust should not be founded
upon ignorance nor upon hearsay.
There are sources of authoritative
information and the membership of
any cooperative should go to the
place where reliable information can
be secured.'

Two Sides to Question

There are two sides to this mem-
bership relationship question. It is
surely, the duty of the oﬂ‘icials to
inform the members of the activi—
ties of the association. 0n the other
hand, it is the duty of the member
to go to the proper sources for in—
formation about the activities. Not
long ago, I learned that in a. certain
section of the country some mem-
bers of a cooperative milk market—
ing organization charged that, its
ofﬁcers held stock in one of the
large distributing companies which
was buying their milk. These ru-
mors, I am informed, spread broad—
cast over the territory and did much
to cause some of the farmers to lose
conﬁdence in their ofﬁcials. The
member in this instance failed to do
their duty to the organization to
which they were obligated—through
virtue of their membership—by per—
mitting these false reports to go
unanswered. It is not difﬁcult to
ﬁnd out who owns stock in any cor—
poration.

Another report which I knew to
be circulated was that the vice-pres—
ident of another association was
drawing a salary of $15,000.00 3.
year. As a. matter of fact, this man
was paid only for the actual days
which he worked for the association
and this pay was very nominal. This
rumor could have been stopped—-
and it was the duty of the member-
ship to stop it—if a letter of inquiry
had been written to the secretary of
the association asking for informa—
tion on the matter. Or, if the se-
cretary could not be trusted to give
the facts, a demand could have been
made to inspect the records.

The ofﬁcials of any cooperative
have a big job to perform the du-
ties with which they are charged
and keep the membership informed
about the things which are happen—
ing and about market conditions.
The members should be very dili-
gent in studying the market pro—
blems and what the ofﬁcials are ac-
tually doing in their interests. EV-
ery member should remember that
there are certain persons who are
interested in breaking up farmers’
cooperative organizations and that
in most instances rumors about the
disloyalty of ofﬁcers, enormous ex-
penses, and exhorbitant salaries are
spread by those who have an axe of
their own to grind.

In going back over the history of
farmers’ organization we shall ﬁnd,
I think, that in most instances it is
best to take the word of the farm-
ers’ own representatives rather than
that of some self—appointed benefac—
tor. If, after a fair investigation,
these ofﬁcials are found to be dis-
honest, inefﬁcient, or not working in
the interest of those they represent,
they should be replaced without de-
lay.

USOLE has a tendency to grow

for the ordinary methods of feeding

FTER the change from pasturage to
the heavier, drier winter feeds four
cows out of ﬁve fail to fully digest

and assimilate all of the milk-making
values in the food they consume.

You can stop this waste and add extra
quarts daily to the production of your
cows by giving them the aid of Kow—Kare
in their regular diet. This all-medicine
invigorator has a wonderful stimulating
and building—up effect on the entire set of
milk-making organs. Kow Kare rescues
many feed dollars that otherwise would
be wasted.

Do not confuse Kow—Kare with highly
stimulating concentrates and so-called
stock feeds. It is not a. food, and provides
none of the elements of forced feedin .
It is a. medicine that the average cows
system urgently needs to convert nature’s
foods into a. paying volume of milk,
especially in winter. ;

Several years ago there were a
number of herds known as the Vic-

of these hogs for several years, how-
ever, and know of no herd in the

can I ﬁnd a name of any organiza-

00W ‘SLOBBERS l

, \I have a cow which slobbers bad.
When standing in the barn over
night will slobber about two gallons.
She is worst in rainy weather. The
cow is in good health in all other
ways—F. S., Wheeler, Mich.

0U would likely ﬁnd what the

trouble is with your cow if you
, would have some one hold her
mouth open while you made an in-
spection of it. It is to due to one
of two things most likely and they
are a split tooth or to a wooden
tongue or lumpy jaw. If it is due
to the last named her tongue will be
large and stiff and she will have
difﬁculty in handling it. If you will
examine her and then let us know
which it is we will send you infor-
mation as to how best to handle it
to the best advantage. If it is due
to a bad tooth then you must have it
removed by a veterinarian. It is
not often that such a condition is
due to other causes such as an in-
timation of the saliva producing
glands, hence our asking you for
more information. There are how-
ever other causes of slobbering but
they would not last any length of
time and would no doubt be easily
recognized.

Efﬁcient dairy cows will return a proﬁt

keeps up the milk ﬂow and builds up the
cow for the winter. A light mixture of

In Western Canada With Farm PaperEditors‘

boast of my ability as a horseman.
The trip into the mountains was up
hill and I managed it fairly well, ex-
cept when the horse trotted. Re-
turning it was all down hill and my
horse knew it was nearly time to
eat, making a bad combination be-
cause he insisted on keeping up a.
stiﬁ-legged trot the entire ﬁve miles.
It was a trip that shall linger long
in my memory because I was so
strongly impressed with it, both
physically and mentally.

After dinner that evening a dance
was held for our special beneﬁt and
some danced while others tried to.
The ones who “tried” to dance were
the folks who had gone on the ride.
We had to be brave and pretend we
enjoyed the dance, or we never
would have heard the last of it. Late
that night we returned to our train

‘ to continue our return trip,

the
next stop to be Edmonton, the far-
thest point north we visited.

It was raining when we arrived in
Edmonton the next morning and the
roads were so muddy that we could
not take the long ride into the
farming sections the citizens of that
city had planned for us. However,
luncheon was to be served at Fort
Saskatchewan so our special train
was moved to that station where we
were met with autos and transport—
ed to the hall where a bountiful
spread greeted our eyes. Several
speeches were made and the pres—
ident of the editors’ association, C.
A. Cobb, from Georgia, made about
the best one of the entire trip. Mr.
Cobb declared it was because his fa—
vorite dish, fried chicken, was
served. It was relished (I mean

the‘ch‘icken) by" all, I Scan assure

you. Although roads'weré very slip- .

pery several of us were determined
to see some of the farms about here
so citizens took us out in their cars
for an hour’s drive. On this drive
we saw wheat that when threshed
this fall no doubt yielded 50 bush-
els to the acre. We talked with one
farmer whose wheat last year went
48 bushels to the acre and he de-
clared he was sure it would do con—
siderably better this year as the
heads were much larger.

Our party returned to Edmonton
in the afternoon and was taken on
a tour of inspection of the Alberta
University Agricultural College farm
and a visit to the Parliament Build-
ing. We were entertained at dinner
that evening by the board of trade.
Edmonton is the capital of the pro-
vince of Alberta and has a popula-
tion of about 65,000. The farming
land around this city is declared to

were sorry that the weather pre-
vented Our making a tour of some
length.

Buffalo National Park is located
at Wainwright, our next stop, and
we arrived there the next morning

i

to stay for three hours to give all '

an opportunity to visit the. park.

The Buffalo National Park 00111er ‘

es, in the neighborhood of 100,000

acres, is the largest wild animal en- ‘

closure and contains the largest
pure-bred buffalo herd in the world.
There are nearly 8,000 head of but-
falo within the 9-foot fence that
surrounds the park. Other animals
living in the parkinclude about
three hundred elks, 1000 mule door,
a small herd of yak, and several
head of moose and antelopes.

We continued our way eastward,
arriving in Saskatoon, in the pro-
about the
middle of the afternoon. From the
depot we were taken in cars for a

ride about the city and out to the"

University of Saskatchewan Where
we heard interesting talks on agri-
culture in the province and saw
some of the livestock owned by the
University. Green feed is very pop-
ular with the farmers in this pro-
vince and their favorite silage is
sunﬂowers.

Saskatoon has a population of
about 26,000 and is an educational
center as it possesses the University
of Saskatchewan and
tural College, a provincial
School, Collegiate Institution,
Theoogical Colleges,
large schools costing from $120,-
000 to $150,000 each.

The citizens committee entertain-
ed us with a ﬁne dinner after which
we again boarded our train and
were off for Winnipeg. It was
nearly noon when we pulled into the
station and we had until 4 o’clock in
the afternoon before we left for the
border and the United States, and
the majority of us ’spent the time
sightseeing. We again changed
railroads when we left Winnipeg go-
ing back to the Canadiani'Paoiﬁc
which carried us safely to the bor-
der and the 1800 Line, over which we
travelled to Minneapolis and St.
Paul in Minnesota, where some
members of our party left us, and
then on to Chicago where the re-
maining members went their several
ways, but all arriving at the same
place—home. ‘

It was a wonderful trip to me,
this tour of western Canada, and I
have enjoyed immensely writing
about it because I went back in
memory and took the trip over
again when putting it down on pa-
per. It is a trip that I shall always
remember and recall often because
of pleasant memories connected
with it. It gave us an opportunity
to learn that the border between
our countries is only an imaginary
line and our
side of this line have the same
problems that we have. And we
found that many of our own coun-
trymen have migrated to Canada
because of its opportunities, while
men from Canada have come to the
United States to make their home.
The ﬁne way we were all treated by
our hosts, the Dominion Govern-
ment, the Canadian Paciﬁc and Ca-
nadian National railways, as well as
the wonderful hospitality Extended
to us on every hand, can not be for-
gotten. Yes, it was a wonderful
trip.

Below is quoted an extract from an article
by a Well versed poultry experb—its message
is of prime importance to all poultry raisers.

' ' have chanied since father was a
boy. e do not ta e so much for granted
now but we investigate ﬁnd out just what
effect certain foods have on poultry and of
late years we haVe learned that milk is a
great food for poultry. old or oung. Our
lawn ex rience has led us to helieve that
much 0 the bowel trouble in chic can be

"One reason for this delay of recognition of
the value of milk has been due to the diﬁi-

digestive disturbances unless the dishes are
kept sanitary. With the introduction of dried
buttermilk this objection is overcome as the
dried milk is dmply'mixed with the mash.
Poultrymen ve no excuse now for not

FEEDING FOR EGG PRODUCTION
HE problems of poultry feeding
require good judgment and
keen observation. Hens fed
for egg production should have ra-
tions high in food elements, which
are found in eggs. A balanced ra-
tion for laying hens is a combina-
tion of food stuffs into the proper
proportion to produce the desired
results. While grains form a large
proportion of the hen’s diet, it
should be remembered that one of
the ﬁrst principles of poultry feed-
ing is, that the hen can not do well
if fed on a strictly grain ration.

Corn is the most popular and im-
portant grain. On farms where
corn is raised, it is probably best to
feed it whole, and shelled from the
cob. If your corn crop did not ma-
ture sufﬁciently to make it possible
to shell, use it with caution.

Mash is a mosture of ﬁnely
ground feeds made largely from mill
by-products and animal by-products.
It carries the bulk of the protein
of the ration, provides for the re-
building of worn out body tissues,
and the White of the egg. It is not
as palatable as the grain, and if fed
dry, is seldom over eaten. This per-
mits it to be fed in an open hopper
available 'to the fowls at all times.

20 per cent corn meal, 20 per cent
ground oats, 20 per cent bran, 20
per cent middlings, 20 per cent meat

EASY TO MAKE
‘ ‘ HENS LAY

Says Poultry Expert

 

t-Triplcs Egg Production During
Moult and Winter Months

, Mr. W. B. Mack, the widely known poul-
try specialist,‘ says: “There is no reason

or three times as many eggs during the
moult and winter as they do.”

Mr. Mack says, “the reason hens lost
during the moult and winter is because
certain elements are missing in the feed
at this time of year which are needed to
keep the generative organs in a healthy
laying condition.”

Last winter more than ﬁfty thousand
poultry raisers proved that Mr. Mack is
right in asserting that the missing ele-
ments can be supplied by simply adding
certain mineral elements to the fowl's
drinking water, thus insuring a, plentiful
supply of eggs at highest prices. Many
who used Mr. Mack's system reported get-
ting two and three times as many eggs
as ever before. For instance, Mrs. F. Gas-
well known Texas poultry raiser,
writes. “Mr. Mack's system and secret
mineral compound sure makes them lay.
Instead of getting no eggs I now get 17
to 20 eggs 9. day from 24 hens."

Mr. Mack is glad to help all poultry
raisers and will send any reader of this
ager full instructions for using his sys-

and two regular $1 packages of his
secret mineral compound for only $1 and

stage by collect on delivery mail, on 10
, ys' free trial.

Don’t send any money, but just your
name and address. and the two packages
will be mailed at once. You can sell one

e to a. neighbor and get your own
ee,‘ as one package should be sufﬁcient
for your ﬂock. Furthermore, after using

livelier, healthier and laying at least twice
as many eggs simply send back the un-
used part of the mineral compound and

ur money will be returned. This offer

at once by every progressive poultry rais-

Green feeds act as a tonic, aid di—

an appetizer, and as a laxative.
Sprouted oats probably prove most
satisfactory, for this type of feed.
The oats should be soaked in water
for 24 hours, and then spread out
about two inches deep, in trays or
boxes. They should be kept in a
warm place near the stove or fur-

this time, they should be kept slight—

Export Demand in Grain Market Light

Heavy Receipts of Cattle Are Causing Prices to Decline

E are nearing the winter sea—
son,» and before we know it
we will begin another new
year. Farmers are getting their
crops stored away, and preparations
are being made for carrying live
stock along for the long period that

. will not terminate until the spring

opens in earnest, so that planting
can be started. Most of our Michi-
gan farmers have steered clear of
depending upon one or two crops,

' realizing the great importance of di—

       

versifying their productions, and by
this means they are generally com-
ing out very well. The growing small
ﬂocks of hardy breeds of sheep
shows that Michigan farmers are
awake to the substantial proﬁts de-
rived from mutton and wool, and
high as prices for good breeding
ewes have been, they are in much
greater demand than supply, and in
all probability in another year they
will sell in as large numbers as can
be supplied. As for feeding range
lambs it is reported that the indus—
try is on a smaller scale than usual,
and whenever prices go lower the
country demand becomes lively.
Michigan farmers are well provided
with feed, and, unlike too many
farmers, most of them are avoiding
the serious blunder of returning the
lambs to market after a short feed,
which usually means less of. money
on the “collie—backs.” The hog
question is not so easily answered,
for the country is large, and taking
a reliable census is difﬁcult, it not
impossible. However, it seems to be
advisable to keep back healthy pig's
and young hogs that are doing well
on feed, and corn may be counted
upon to sell too low in price to prove
proﬁtable unless used for feeding
live stock. Fortunately, thin cattle
on the stacker and feeder order can
still be purchased at low enough
prices to make conservative invest—

ments. Short hay and potato crops
are hard on the farmers who have
partial crops, but ﬁne for those
Whose yields are normal, good ad—

vances in prices having taken place.
Potato prices,
because of damage from bad weath-
er, have resulted in bringing in
Canadian potatoes to the Chicago
market, despite the duty of 50c per
hundred pounds. A short time ago
two cars of these potatoes brought
$3.50 per 100 pounds. Butter,
poultry and eggs are selling at
very high prices. and high prices for
turkeys are assured.

November Corn Crop Report

A corn crop of 3,013,000,000
bushels for the United States is es-
timated by the department of agri-
cutre in its report given out late yes-

terday. It is the ﬁfth crop in excess
of the 3,000,000,000 bushel mark
this country has raised. It is 95,~

000,000 bushels larger than the Oc-
tober returns and is based on husk-
ing reports. It is 576,000,000 bush-
els above last year’s ﬁnal returns
and 78,000,000 bushels more than
the ﬁve year average.

In the nine surplus corn states,
which raised more than two-thirds
of the crop, there are 2,052,000,000
bushels, a gain of 510,000,000 bush—
els over last year, which is nearly
equal to an average quantity that
leaves the farm annually. There is
also an increase of 214,000,000
bushels over the five year average.

An outstanding feature in the
corn crop returns is the big showing
in Iowa, 477,000,000 bushels or
172,000,000 bushels over last year’s

short crop, and 45,000,000 bushels
above the average. Illinois, the
second largest corn state, increased

its yield 90,000,000 bushels over
last year, having 395,000,000 bush-
els, or 82,000,000 bushels above the
average. Indiana has the largest
crop in twenty—ﬁve years, 95,000,000
bushels more than last year, and 42,.
000,000 bushels above the average.
Minnesma and Nebraska have large

is the shortest in years, and practi-
cally a failure in some sections.

Total available supply of corn for
the 1925-26 season, as suggested by
the government’s preliminary esti-
mate on the yield. is 3,076,000,000
bushels, including a carry-over of
60,952,000 and the visible supply of
2,000,000 bushels. Last year there
was a total available of 2,546,000,-
000 bushels, including a carry—over
on farms of 102,000,000 bushels and
a visible supply of 7,000,000 bushels.

The short crop of corn in 1924
was used up more thoroughly than
in a majority of years, as reserves
on the farms Nov. 1 were only 60,—
952,000 bushels, the smallest since
1917, when there were 34,448,000
bushels, compared With 102,000,000
bushels last year.

The ﬂax seed crop is 22,332,000
bushels, a decrease of nearly 10,—
000,000 bushels from last year, and
an increase of 5,600,000 bushels
over the preceding year. Estimates
on the potato crop were increased
2,000,000 bushels last month despite
the early freeze, and the total is
346,503,000 bushel, against 455,-
000,000 bushel harvested last year.

Potato Imports Restricted

The department of agriculture an-
nounces that there is no basis what-
so ever for the rather persistent ru-
mor that it intends to remove or
modify the restrictions on the entry
of potatoes from countries invaded
by the potato wart disease. The de—
partment has no such intention. The
potato wart is widespread in Europe
and has always been recognized as
one of the most dangerous of pota—
to diseases.

The existing regulations restrict—
ing the entry of foreign potatoes on
account of this disease provide for
entry of potatoes from any country
which has been determined by ﬁeld
inspection satisfactory to the depart—
ment to be free from potato wart
and other injurious potato diseases
and insect pests new to or not widely
prevalent or distributed Within and
throughout the United States, under
the further condition that such
country has an effective quarantine
to prevent the entry from other
countries of such diseases and pests.

The department has no informa-
tion which makes it appear that any
European country can comply with
the conditions of freedom from wart
and maintenance of quarantine pre—

scribed in the regulations. Under
these regulations potatoes may now
be imported into the United States
from Canada, Bermuda, Cuba and
certain states of Mexico.

Small Export Demand for Grain

The restricted European import‘

demand for wheat and other grains
from the United States and other ex—
porting countries continues to be a
depressing factor in the grain mar-
kets, with wheat showing the most
underlying ﬁrmness, and late sales
of old wheat for December delivery
on the Chacago Board of Trade
around $1.55, comparing with $1.55
a year ago. The prevailing opinion
is that Wheat is actually worth as
high as it has been selling, it not
more. Sales for December delivery
have been made of corn around 76
cents, comparing with $1.14 a year
ago; oats at 39 cents comparing with
54 cents a year ago; and rye at 81
cents, comparing with $1.40 a year
ago. Hardly any rye is being ex-
ported, and the milling demand is
restricted. A year ago speculation
in rye was active, and there was a
good export demand. Within a short
time rye has sold about 69 cents be-
low wheat, r‘hile a year ago the dif-
ference was only 16 cents. A little
more than two years ago wheat was
sold for December delivery not much
over $1.

Excessive Cattle Receipts

So long as this great rush to get
cattle to market is kept up in the
western packing points there will be
a poor show for maintaining prices
for the main part of the offerings.
During the latter part of last week
good and choice beef steers sold in
the Chicago market at the lowest
prices paid since last June, the bet—
ter grades showing a loss of from
$1 to $1.50 since Monday, while the
cheaper grades valued at $8 and
lower were fairly active and ﬁrm.
Steers sold during the week largely
at a range of $8 to $12.75, the best
lots selling early at $12 to $14, and
the closing best prices being $12 to
$13.50, long yearlings selling high—
est. The commoner light steers sold
at $7 and $8 and good steers at
$9.25 and over, and sales of steers
worth $9 and upward were slow late
in the week. A year ago common
to prime steers sold at $6 to $13,
ten years ago at $4.25 to $10.55 and
fourteen years ago at $4.50 to $9.20.
Butcher cows and heifers have been
selling at $4.10 to $10.75, canner
and cutter cows at $3 to $4, bulls
at $3.50 to $7.25 and calves at $5
to $12. Stockers and feeders had
a fair sale at $5.50 to $8, gomg

mainly at $6.25 to $7. Stock and
feeder cows and heifers sold at $3.75
to $5.75. Butcher cows and heifers
advanced while steers declined.

Hogs Sell Irregularly

Depending mainly on the volume
of the oﬂerings, prices have ﬂuctu-
ated up and down in the Chicago
hog market for still another week,
With too many received some days.
although the total receipts for the
week continued to run greatly below
one and two years ago. For the
year to late date the combined re-
ceipts in seven leading western pack-
ing points amount to only“ 21,802,-
000 hogs, comparing with 25,912,-
000 one year ago and 26,810,000
two years ago. A good eastern ship-
ping demand has been quite a help
in checking declines in prices. Re-
cent Chicago receipts have averaged
in weight 241 pounds, the lightest in,
nearly four months, but .11 pounds
above the ﬁve-year average. Late
sales were made of hogs at $9.35 to
$11.80 or nearly the same as a week
earlier. A year ago hogs sold at
$7.75 to $9.70 and two years ago at
$5.60 to $6.95.

WHEAT

Buyers were real plentiful in the
wheat market last week,'although
most of the news was bearish. Mill-
ers especially seemed to want all
they could get but receipts did not
increase. A short time ago reports
were that Russia would be able to
supply most of Europe with wheat,
but since then contracts have been
cancelled and buyers have had to
look elsewhere. A report from Arg’
entine indicates that government
will have over 150 millions of bush-
els for export this year.

CORN
A steady market for corn with re-
ceipts small encouraged higher
prices last week.” Dealers report

their stocks very low and the weath-
er has delayed delivery from the
farms. Old corn is pretty well clean-
ed up all over the country, while a
lot of the new crop contains consid—
erable moisture.
()ATS

Oats have held ﬁrm in spite of
the fact that there._are heavy stocks
in commercial channels. One feat-
ure about the present market is the
smallness of receipts, being consid-
erable below a year ago.

RYE
This grain has followed the trend
of. wheat and as a result the price
is higher.

BEANS

Everyone was set for a bumper
crop of beans last August but rainy
weather came along and changed the
outlook entirely. Only about 60
or 70 per cent of the crop has been
put up to date and it is still storin-
ing sufﬁcient to prevent any harvest
work. Conditions are such that the

price should be as high today as "it'

was a year ago, at least- The Michi-
gan Elevator Exchange predicts that
during the winter months the price
will go to from 50 cents to $1.00
above what it is today. This would
indicate that if your beans are dry
and you can hold them it would be
proﬁtable to market a couple of
months from now instead of at pres-
ent.

POTATOES

It seems that potatoes hit the high
point the ﬁrst week in November and
turned downward. -Speculators sent
the price to an unreasonably high
level and it has now reacted. Farm-
ers are holding back their market-

COMMITTEE GIVES OUT ADVICE
ON BEAN CROP

HERE was convened at Lansing

on November 2nd, a body of

men representative of agricul-
ture in this state to organize the
Michigan Agricultural Economics
Committee to consider agricultural
needs. At this meeting the commit-
tee, composed of A. B. Cook of
Owosso, M. L. Noon of Jackson,
Clarence DiehT of Lanaing, Jas. Mc—
Bride of Burton, Prof. J. T. Turner
of East Lansing, Chas. B. Scully of
Almont, R. Waterbury of Detroit,
Rep. Bird Vincent of. Saginaw, Mrs.
Dora Stockman of Lansing, C. H.
Bramble of Lansing and Milon Grin-
nell of Mount Clemens, studied the
critical condition of the 1925' bean
crdp. The report they gave out was
that there would be about the same
amount of marketable pea beans
this year as there were last, owingr
to heavy damage by rain during the
last month. Although the govern-
ment report of October lst indicated
a larger crop the damage had been
very serious since that date, the loss
being estimated at about 25 per

 

cent. Reports they had from other
states indicated there would be
about as many marketable pea

beans in other sections as last year.

 

 

 

 

 

\Veek of November 22

HIS week in Michigan is expect-
T ed to open with the skies gen—
erally clear and temperatures
rising. About Monday cloudiness
will increase and more or less gen-
eral rains will fall in many parts of
the state. There is a possibility of
rains turning to snow in sections of
the state about Tuesday.

During the middle part of the
week temperatures will be low and
the skies generally clear. This
weather will last until about Friday.

On Friday will begin in Michigan
another general storm period with
rain or snow in most all counties.
This storminess Will last over Satur-
day. A change to much lower tem-
peratures will follow.

Week of November 29

The general storminess that will
have started during the latter days
of last week will run over into this
Week. With the changing temper~
atures the rains, that will be more
or less general during early part of
this week with possible exception of
Sunday will probably turn to snow

not later than Tuesday, December
lst.

During Tuesday and Wedne.:l.1y
the precipitation will be locally

heavy but not as general as on pre—
vious days. Rains will give way to
probable snow and some sleet and
wind "f
Temperatures will range general-
ly below normal for a day or two
but at the end of that time another
storm inﬂuence is expected to cross
the state. As a result the weather
will become warmer, more unsettled
and With scattered rain 01' snow
storms during end of this week.

Average December \Veather

With moderate precipitation dur-
ing ﬁrst part of the month and a
slight increase during last part and
with temperatures averaging nor—
mal to a little below, we believe De-
cember this year will run about an

Rheumatism

A Remarkable. Home Treat-

Muscular and SuhaAcute Rheumatism. I
suﬂ'cred as only those who are thus af-

remedy after remedy, but such relief as
I obtained was only temporary. Finally.

I found :1 treatment that cured me com-
pletely and such a pitiful condition has
never returned. I have given it to a

          
     
 

number who were terribly afflicted; even
bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty
years old, and the results were the same

 
   
  
 
    
   
    
   
  
  
   
  
   
 
 

as in my own case.
