Vital Improvements ~

Attractive New Colors

Absolute smoothness and quietness of engine oper-
ation characterize the improved Dodge Brothers
Motor Car. '

Decreased weight gives it a surprising new snap
and elasticity. '

The loWer and more graceful closed bodies are
ﬁnished in rich and attractive colors.

Vision from within is increased to an almost in-
credible degree.

Reduction of bulk was accomplished by further
notable advances in all-steel body construction, in
which Dodge Brothers have led the world from
the very beginning. Naturally there is a propor-

tionate gain in operating economy—with

increased safety and durability.

Any member of the great Dodge Brothers Dealer
organization—the ﬁnest and most aggressive in
the world— will gladly give you all the inter-
esting details.

g ‘ rnment than 1a r h
summary‘ot’ that department tor th 
past year. ‘ The following. is;a~‘br’ief“ ;

tiesties, as prepared by the depart-v,
m’ent oificials;
From Jan. 10 ,to Nov. 1 last year

eral aid road and bridge and reward .
bridge construction amounted to '
$14,792,645.’ Of. this amount $5,-

road's, $1,400,000 on trunk line and
federal aid bridges, $5,000,000 on
reward bridges and‘ $7,900,000 on.__
trunk line roads. The mileage and
types oi! roads built through this ex-
penditure was 248 miles of concrete.
11 miles of macadam, 186 miles of
gravel or a total 01445 miles for
the season. During this period 82,-
188,163.15 was, received. as aid
money from the federal government.

Construction has been retarded to I
some extent this year and will. be 5
held in check during the year 1926’
unless by legislative action more
money is made available for this pur— .
pose—it is true that during the cal-
endar year 1925 approximately $21,-
t'000,000 were collected by means of I
the weight and gas tax measures but ,
it is interesting to know how little
of that money collected is made
available for the construction of state
trunk line roads. -

Speciﬁc appropriations made by
the legislature for purposes other
than for the use of the state in trunk
line road construction and to be paid
from the revenue» received through
the weight and tax measures totals
$15,629,000 leaving for highway con-
struction by the state the compara—
tively small sum of $3,871,000 and
for bridge maintenance, grade separ—
ation and trunk line and non—trunk
line bridge construction the sum of
$1,500,000. se appropriations in
part inclu e 3 ,000,000 to counties
as their share of the weight tax rev-
enue. $1,500,000 reward payments
to counties, $3,000,000 for payment
of interest and principal on high-
way bonds, and $2,829,000vfor pay-
ment of interest. and to create a I
sinking , fund for state highway '
bonds. Two million was also ap—
propriated for trunk line mainten-
ance while it will require $3,000,000
as a minimum in view of the fact ‘
that beginning Jan. 1, 1926 the
state takes Over the handling and
payment of all trunk line construc—
tion and maintenance, thereby re— '
leiving the counties of any cost,
which has heretofore been partially
borne by them.

Another important activity of the
department at this time is the secur:
ing of additional right-of~way. The 3
rapid ’traﬂic increase in the past few »
years and anticipated future increase
has made it essential thatthe plans 1
for the future development of our

.1

_highways not only incorporate de-

signs and details of construction, but -
also widths of right of way. -

With this in mind,, the department
has in the past year acquired by don-
ation and purchase over 700 miles
of wider right of way, and has de-
signed various widths ior all of the
trunk line and federal aided high- '
ways in the state, varying tram 100
feet, which is the usual width to
204 feet in the vicinity of large i
cities.

 

CH ERRY PRODUCTION oosm

E controversy over cherry pro— ’
duction costs may be settled in
special studies instituted by the
horticulure department of Mulligan .

The state board of agriculture hns r
employed A. J. Rogers‘of Beulah,
owner of Thrushwoed orchards and
former president of the Michigan
State Horticultural Society, to make
a special investigation of this pro-
duction problem. How much it costs
to produce cherries is a ‘question that
comes up every spring and the ﬁg-

by others? ' .  ‘,

~ 7' * I . .Cooperat‘ice School and Dedication of New Horticultural Building Are Features

ORE than 5,000 are expected
to attend the annual Farmers’
Week program- at Michigan

State College from Feb. 1-5. This
been reached in the past
few“ years, and it is predicted that
this year will see a larger number
of Michigan farmers present. 1,

Features of~this year’s program
will ‘include the dedication 'of the

, new $400,000 horticultural building

at the college, and a school of co-
operation, given under the direction
of Prof. J. T. Horner, in charge of
the department of agricultural eco-
nomics at the'college and the author
of a book, “Agricultural Marketing”,
used‘as a text by the college. This
course was prepared following a re-
quest by members of the board of
directors of-the Potato Growers Ex-
change, and was ﬁrst‘put into effect
at the Oklahoma Agricultural col-
lege._ The course will extend over a
period of four days, and will take up
problems of vital interest to farmers
of the state.

While all the speakers have not
been secured for the co—operative
school, it is known that among them
will be Chris L. ChristenSen, agri-
cultural economist, bureau of' agri—
cultural economics, Washington, J).
C., and Walton Peteet, secretary of
the National Council of Farmer’s
Cooperative Marketing Associations,
Washington, D. C. Both of these
men are authorities on co—operative
marketing lines. These men will
lecture on Monday, the ﬁrst day of
the course. On the second day mem-
bership problems in cooperative as—
sociations will be discussed by men
familiar with uch work, from the
standpoint of he central organiza-
tion, of the local, and from the stand-
point of the member.

The program Wednesday will in-
clude a discussion of local problems,
including member and manager re-
lationships, oﬂice management and
accounting, organization and ﬁnanc-
ing, and several methods of handling
members produce, including buying
outright and pooling. Sales methods
will come in for discussion Thursday.
Fundamentals of selling will be the
subject of one lecture, with the
others taking up sales by locals and
sales by through a central.

The general evening and afternoon
program for Farmers’ Week will in-
clude addresses by several other an-
thorities on agricultural problems.
Among\these speakers will be Dr.

r“farm crops fair” day.

By FRANK S. PRITCHARD

Liberty Hyde Bailey, formerly dean
of agriculture at Cornell university,
and a graduate of Michigan State
college, and J. T. Willard, director
of’exte'nsion work at the Massachu-
setts Agricultural college.

TueSday has been designated as
live-stock day at the college. Col—
lege livestock will be shown, and the
general program will lean toward
educational work of interest to the
livestock breeder. In addition to
these meetings more than 30 agri—
cultural associations will meet on
this date. 'These associations in—
clude the Michigan State Farm Bu-
reau, the Michigan Crop Improve-
ment Association, and the Michigan
Press Association, an organization
whose members represent more than
half of the Weekly newspapers of
the state. ‘ . .

State and county fairs will be dis-
cussed Wednesday, designated as
Ofﬁcials of
state and county fairs from outside
the state will talk on this subject,

and Governor Alex J. Groesbeck and _

A. W. Watkins have been invited to
~deliver addresses pertaining to fairs
and fair management.

Dedication of the new horticultur-
al building will be the leading event

U

Thursday. National authorities on
horticulture will speak on fruit cul-
ture in the state. A colorful ﬂoral
exhibit will be part of the horticul-
tural show.

A 'parade of college animals, farm
machinery, and the college military
department, with moving pictures
and musical entertainments in the
gymnasium, will also serve to enter-
tain the visitors, and give them an
idea of the operations carried on by
this institution.

Exhibits and shows at the College
will include a state potato show,
with entries from all over the state,
and the°Crop Improvement Associa-
tion competitive show. There will
be an exhibit on the European corn
borer, prepared by the department of
entomology, and a poultry and egg
show, 1) sponsored by the Michigan
Poultry Breeders Association. It is

expected that more than 1000 fowlsp

will be shown.

With the exhibits and lectures on
farm problems by men of national
reputation, it is hoped by college
ofﬁcials to make this farmers' week
program at least one of the best in
this country.

TO EXTEND MICHIGAN FORESTS

'NNOUNCEMENT of the establishment of a 616,960-acre reforest-
ation project on the Au Sable river is the ﬁrst attempt of the
federal government to acquire cutover lands west of the Appa-

v lachian mountains.

If sustahned by the courts it will lead inunediately to extension
of the Michigan reserves to more than a million acres and establish-
ment of 'a 500,000-acre reserve in Minnesota.

The Towns and Mic divisions of the Michigan national forest, sit-
uated in Iosco, Oscoda, Alcona, Ogemaw, Boscommon and Crawford

counties, are to be acquired at once.

These consist of 84,860 acres

of public land and 49,749 acres of private land already acquired and
an additional area of 482,351 acres of private and state land adjacent.
These lands lie in the watershed of the Au Sable river, over which
has been transported 4,250,000,000 feet of timber since 1867.

The second tract of land to be acquired if the courts approve is be-
tween Manistique and Munising invthe upper Peninsula. It comprises
641,000 acres in the watersth of the Sturgeon, Whiteﬁsh, Rapid

and Escanaba rivers and the west fork of the Manistique.

How Canadian Government Helped Ontario Apple Growers Market Crop

By WILLIAM BANKS

PPLE growers of the province
of" Ontario, Canada, have ex-
perienced the most practical
example of government cooperation

= in the disposal of their crop that
‘ they have known. ‘ '

An initial move was an intense

5 campaign for spraying and greater

care of orchards generally, under-

! taken by the fruit branch of the

government’s department of agricul-

ture. ,
Aided by an excellent early season

and this campaign, the crop promis-

' ed to be so big that apple growers

  

“  ,m‘s‘ promptly

 
  

feared they would not be. able to
market a large portion of it. The
fact that in quality also it surpassed
those of many former years, was but
. little consolation. - 1

While the prospects were under

*7  discussion the governinent» made a_
 Wizhopos‘itiOn for cooperation which
‘ accepted, and! which

carried out: for gileast' one

  
 
  

‘ very

provinces, extolling the excellence of
the Ontario apple and urging the
people to buy it in preference to im-
ported fruit, and a plan to guaran-
tee a minimum price per barrel on
certain classes of apples shipped to
the British market.

Advertising in the home market-

was chieﬂy conﬁned to daily news-

_ papers and to the agricultural week-

lie, but effective posters, with ap-
ples in colors, and carrying very lit—
tle reading matter were also used. A
favorite phrase for these as for the
newspaper displays was "Eat On-
tario Apples.” The posters were'dis—
tributed- to the trade, to hotels, rest—
aurants and to any one who would
display them in store or oﬂice. It
is not possible to say in actual ﬁg-
ures Twhat the» ﬁnancial returns to
the growers have been. But they’i-e-
port-".that the home demand has been
steady the prices, reasons

  

3‘

suitable. These and the guaranteed
minimum prices per barrel were
Northern Spy and McIntosh, $5.00
for ﬁrsts, $4.00 for seconds; Bald-
win’ and Greening $4 and $3 for
ﬁrsts and seconds respectively; King
and Russet $4.50 for ﬁrsts and $3.75
for seconds.

The government, working in con—
junction with the large growers and
the cooperative associations, under-
took that its experts should super-
vise the grading and the packing of
the apples. Boxes and barrels of
apples thus supervised bore the
stamp of government approval. ‘

All shipments were made by the
growers individually or the cooper-

.ative associations tortheir agents in

 doe

Britain, and all the business ar-
rangements connected with the ship-
ments and sales‘ were carried out
through the regular channels. Ap-

When all returns are complete it.
is believed that the prices obtained
in Britain will be found to have covv .
ered all the expenses of transporta-
tion and handling, and to have re-
turned a proﬁt to the growers, thus
obviating payment of any part of the
government’s guarantee. The losses'
in the overseas shipments were con—
ﬁned to one or two cars, and were
comparatively light. They were more
than covered by the ﬁne condition in
which the major portions of the
shipments reached the British Imar-
kets‘ and the prices they brought.
Government ofﬁcials estimate that
the cost to the public treasury for
the advertising campaign and the
work of their experts in connection.

and all incidentals, will be under'_'
$20,000. This is considerd a veryj

BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOL“

I would like to know if it is law:
in] to read a chapter of the Bible in
the public school, or if it can be
stopped?———J. O. D., Dorr, Mich.

HERE have been so many ques-

tions asked recently relative to

the use of the Bible in ,the
schools that I wish to call attention
to the following facts:

First, I sent out a letter some
time ago calling for the placing of
the Bible, preferably the King James
Version, in every public school in
the state. This is to be for refer-
ence and library purposes.

Second, the use of the Bible in ad—
dition to this is optional with the
local board of education. The board
may direct its reading if it so de-
sires. Anyone'objecting to it may
be excused during the reading upon
an excuse from the parent or legal
guardian. No comment of a doc-
trinal nature should be permitted
and selections about which there is
doctrinal difference should be avoid-
ed.

Third, the State Teachers’ Associ-
ation has prepared one bulletin and
is preparing two others on Bible
study. They are suggesting that the
work be done outside the school by
an approved teacher and that after
satisfactory examination credit be
given as is often done now for work
outside the building as for example,
in music. These bulletins may be
obtained through this ofﬁce—T. E.
Johnson, Superintendent of Public
Instruction.

WHO OWNS STOCK?

I mortgaged my farm for $5,000

OWNERSHIP OF LAKE

Who owns the bottom of a lake,
that is a lake called a government
lake? In the event that the lake
drys up, would the land belong to
the government? And if the land
is public property where is the divid—
ing line betWeen a person’s land, and
the government land?

These are some questions that
have been hotly disputed recently
by a. number of sportsmen and
landowners.—H.S., Fentpn, Mich.

F the lake belongs to' the govern-
ment, the government would
own the land where it was sit—

Imported Clever Seed

It surely is very disconcerting to
ﬁnd so many ﬁelds of clover seed all
lying in the swath or bunches, en-
tirely spoiled. I doubt if there ever
was a time when this clover seed
was needed more, than it is now, or
will be in the spring. _There is not
only the usual seeding to be done,
but practically allof last year's
seeding must be seeded over. This
will mean about twice the demand
for clover seed over normal years,
and practically no seed with which
to supply the demand. There will
no doubt, be a vast amount of im-

lported seed put on our markets.

Much of this seed will not produce
a crop in this country. It would be
a great boon to farmers if all this
imported seed was marked “Import—
ed” and I believe the sale of it would
be so small it «would nearly discour-
age importation. '

It would be far better not to seed
any clover at all than to sow seed
which would not produce a crop. In
this case a farmer Would plant some—
thing which would, in a measure,
take the place of clover; but when
clover is seeded and no crop results,
then it is often too late to sow any-
thing else. ,

On top of all this clover seed
shortage and minus clover meadows
for next year is the sad fact there
is no doubt less hay in the country
today than there has been in many
years. It means there will be very

little, if any, hay carried over next.

summer.

I was talking recently with a
thresherman who generally hulls
more clover seed than any, other
thresher in this section. He ’said he
only hulled seventy ﬁve bushels a1-
together this past season. This in-
cluded the June and Mammoth vari-
eties and one lone bushel of alsike!
Imagine I hear some one say, “Don’t
sow clover, sow alfalfa!” Quite so,
alfalfa and sweet clover are “Gold
Dust Twins” and no mistake—but
for some reason I am just old fash-
ioned enough to feel dismayed at
the thought of entirely giving up
common clovers, yet I believe this
is what we are coming to. We shall
have to .gradually ﬁt alfalfa and
sweet clover into our rotation where
we have used com 11 clovers and
I believe the sooner we do this the
better off we will be. The prejudices
against sweet clover will change to
admiration when we are ready to
fully appreciate it.

But sweet clover (where did it get
its name?) will never be a. great
success on manyfarms until lime is
I sometimes think sweet
clover is more particular about the
lime content of its heading ground

. ly Iwas talking with a man Who has.

aIWays known this' farmer and his
farm, as well as all the other, farms
and farmers in that neighborhood. I
asked‘ him if 'the reason_ for this
farmer's better crops as due ,to a.
naturally better soil than the neigh-
boring fhrms, and he replied; “No!
His farm is not one bit better na-
turally than any Other farm, but he
is a better farmer." This I knew

.before I asked the question, but I

wantedhis opinion. V
I have never known this farmer to

sell hay on" grain on his farm. 1’ -
‘ have seen him pasture down Wonder—' ' '

ful crops of corn, etc.‘ His barn
yard will hardly hold his straw
stacks, and Ihave known him to _be
cgmpelled to set stakes and make
his barn yard fence higher to keep
the stock in, because he had thrown.
so much straw from the stacks for
the stock to wallow down into yard
manure, that the yard was full half
the height of the fence. This system
of farming can not long be followed
without the results showing in every

crop and the knowledge travelingx

far and wide. .

I might add that in the beginning
I think it was quite easy for him to
start such a system of farming. While
such a system would have been an
impossibility with many of us' when
we began, can’t we grow'into it? It’s
a pleasing anticipation at least, and
one not altogether impossible.

But in the beginning it was LIME
and with the most of us it will .be
LIME too, if we ever get the results
he does. ,

While talking with an English-
man the subject of lime was brought
up. He had been in America only
four or ﬁve years and marvelled that
the American farmers 'did not use

more lime. He told of the crops he‘

had helped produce in England, and
said he could not see that the soil
was, by nature, much different than

most of our soils here, only there —

was lots of. limestone there, lime-
stone rocks of great size being often
just below the surface, the plow

striking them frequently. “Of courSe "

then you don’t have to sow lime/T I
said; he replied, “You bet we do.
Just because there is limestone in
the soil is no proof but what the soil
needs ground lime, and we sow it
regularly, as a matter of course, be-
cause it pays.” ‘ ‘ '

The Pasture Field

One of the perplexing problems
for next summer is to ﬁnd a solutibn
for the pasture question. The clover
meadow shortage is no worse a prose
pect than the minus‘clover pastures.
We have watched other farmers in
years gone by try different kinds of
crops for pasture when \their clover
was ‘short, and have come "to the

conclusion oats’are as satisfactory -

as any. 1- , 7,

Tm a neighboring farm, where we
work the ﬁelds, there was a short-
age of [pasture two years ago, and a.
corn stubble was disked quite thor-
oughly real early in the spring. We
sowed three bushels of oats per acre,
and a liberal quantity of June and
Mammoth clover. When the oats
were ﬁve or six inches high the stock
were pastured on it and it was sur—,
prising how the" cats continued to
grow and furnish feed. The clover
grew ﬁne, and the next year a very
good clover pasture resulted. We
expect to try, this out this spring on
our home farm. I also want to try

a vine too much you are reducing
your crop accordingly and losing

the vine is going to overhear, which
will weaken the vine so that it will
fail to grow enough wood for the

vine to bear a light crop to recuper-

“leave new wood.”

But then, we had already known
that the church is not taking seri—
ously our text. Here is emphasis
upon religious education. And the
end to be reached is the training of
the disciple for service and the
Christianization of the community
life. The motive power back of a
successful church school is a pro-
found belief that the teaching func-
tion of the church is the greatest ac—
complishing ﬁeld in existence today
for the propagating and nurturing
of Christianity, and the transmitting
of Christian doctrines and church
ideals to the rising generation.
Home has ceased to function in giv-
ing religious instruction, and the
preaching service of the church in
the average American community, is
not Well attended by Children and
young folks; (and anyway, the chief
purpose‘of the pulpit is to inspire
rather than to instruct) therefore, it
remains for the church school to im-

make us believe? Don’t we know
that the children and youth of this
country that are receiving no religi-
ous nuture, outnumber those that

are? Isn’t youthful crime alarming
you? Well, we have known that
the traditional attitude of the

church is none too favorable to the
nurture of child life. Too many folks

“yet believe that boys and girls must

have their swing at_ sowing ‘iwild
oats” before they will amount to_
anything in after life. Naturally,
these folkswill have no reaction t0'
the ideals and processes of religious
education. ‘

But, again, there is a lingering
feeling that the building up of the
church, as an institution, is the sole
end toward which all Christians
should strive. But the church, as
a corporate institution, is but inci-
Jesus placed emphasis upon
human life, upon redeemed person—
alities. Some of us will just tolerate
the Sunday school because we be-
lieve it feeds the church institution.
But we need more than tolerance;
more thangpulpits, pews, and serv-
ices for adults. The teaching func-
tion of the church must not be han-
dicapped. The old-time religion
that stressed the evangelization .of
the adult, and that shouted over the
reformation of an old and wasted
life, must-give way to a truer evalu-'
ation of the teachings and methods
of the Christ, who placed a child in
the midst. To have a vital church
school, we must believe that child-
hood is the hope of the future thru
teaching it morals and religion.

' young disciple?

*many general boards, each pleading
_vfor‘ loyalty to a different society or
organization.’ It seems this is con—
fusing and disheartening to the
young Christian. And here we may
have a'large contributing cause for
the present—day youth movement

' l :gwhich is here and there at work for-

mulating new and distinctive plans

. , . for the Christian weal of the world.

. So, we are led into a sympathetic

attitude to the belief of religious.

educators, that for efﬁciency in re—
ligious education we should bring to—
gether into one all the essentials of
all the organizations in the church
that have to do with the training of
the.young. This one organization is
to be the 'church school. "This
school reaches every age group and
uniﬁes and centralizes the loyalty of
the youth, and simpliﬁes the service
program. This plan would organize
the church school, not only for class
instruction, but tor group expres—
sion, devotionallyand socially.
Verily, this calls for a new type
of leadership. A few months ago
I heard a prominent preacher say to
a large audience that the great busi—
ness of the church was to preach the
GOSpel rather than establish schools
and colleges for religious education.
This man is an inspiring preacher
and has rendered great service to
. the church, but his belief in the pri-

,macy of the pulpit is out of propor- .

tion to the urgent needs of our
youth. Pulpit messages cannot help
absent youths. Of course, these
church leaders believe in the church
school in a way, but they do not
give it a place of emphasis. They
say prayers for it but do not give
it a whole heart. They are hesitat—
ing and reserved and thus neutral-
ize an apparent support. The church
school must fall into the hands of
thise Who have educational ideals
and believe that our Lord’s great
commission can best be carried out

” through the special agency of teach-'

mg. .
Moreover, a peculiar famine of re-
ligion in the home emphasizes the

importance of the church school.

We are‘told that in the early New

England days, every home was re—

quired to teach the beginnings of the

“three R’s” before the child could

enter school. Now, all is turned over

to the public 'school. Similarly, the

home then taught morals and reli-

gion. But the years have brought

changes, and the modern home has

vacated the child’s heart of religious

things and surrendered all rights

and responsibility to the church

school. This is unfortunate, and

there must be recreated in the home

a religious atmosphere around im-

pressionable youth. The church has

a heavy task to inspire parents to

cooperate in teaching the children

the materials and spirit of religion.

Finally, the church school is not

a “lean-to” or mere appendage of

the church. We must wake up to the

“fact that the welfare of our boys
dud girls demands putting them
ﬁrst. There is yet hope of a regen-

erated earth, but it lies in the reli-

gious nurture of the boys and girls

of all nations. ' '

"‘ hat isit, Henry?”

' * V His muscular reaction, as he read,
had drawn the sheet away from her:

he recovered himself almost instantly and

gave the paper to her;. but, in that in-,

stant, Constance herself was "prepared."
She must have deceived herself the in-
stant before! This bulletin must be
something dismaying to what had re-
mained of hope.

“8:35 a. mi,’ Manitowoc,i*Wis.," she/V

read. "The schooner Anna ,S. Solwerk
has been sighted making fer thisiport.
She is not close enough for communica-
tion, but two lifeboats. additional“ to _, her
own,

less, so is unable to report. Tugs rare
going out to her.” ' ' ' g I
"TWO lifeboats!" Constance cried.‘

“That could mean that-they all 'are saved
or nearly all; doesn’t it, Henry; doesn't
it?"

He had read some other signiﬁcance in
it, she thought, or, from his greater un-
derstanding of conditions in the storm, he
had been able to hold no hope from what
had been reported. That was the only
way she could explain to herself as he
replied to her; that the word meant to
him that menmwere saved and that there-
fore it was dismaying to him, could not
come to her at once. When it came now.
it went over her ﬁrst only in the ﬂash
of incredulous question.

"Yes," he said to her. “Yes.” And he
went out of the room to the outer ofﬁce.
She turned and watched him and then
followed to the door. He had gone to
the desk of the girl who had brought
him the bulletin, and Constance heard
his voice, strained and queerly unnatural.
"Call Manitowoc on the long distance.
Get the harbor master. Get the names
of the people that the Solwerk picked
up.”

He stayed beside the girl while she
started the call “Put them on my'wire
when you get them,” he commanded and
turned back to his ofﬁce. “Keep my
wire, clear for that. -

Constance retreated into the room as
he approached. He did not want her
there now, she knew; for that reason—if
she yet deﬁnitely understood no other—
she meant to remain. If he asked her
to go. she intended to stay; but. he did
not ask her. He wished her to go away;
in every word which he spoke to her, in
every moment of their silent waiting, was
his desire to escape her; but he dared
not—dared not—go about it directly.

The feeling of that ﬂashed over her to
her stupefacation. Henry and she were
waiting for word of the fate of Uncle
Benny and Alan. and waiting opposed!
She was no longer doubting it as she
watched him; she was trying to under-
stand. The telephone buzzer under his
desk sounded; she drew close as he took
up his receiver. '

“Manitowoc?” he said. “I want to
know what you’ve heard from the Sol-
werk. . . You hear me? . . . The men
the Solwerk picked up. You have the
names yet?”

“The Benton?"

All from the Ben—

“Oh, I understand!

names. How about Number 25?
ing more heard from them?"

Constance had caught his shoulder
while he was speaking and now clung to
it. Releasewrelease of strain was going
through him; she could feel it, and she
heard it in his tones and saw it in his
eyes.

“The steamer Number 25 rammed

had abandoned her in the small boats.
and the Solwerk picked them up before
the ferry found her." Y

He was not asking her to congratulate

him upon the relief he felt; he had not
so far forgotten himself as that. But it
was plain to her that he was congratulat-
ing himself; it had been fear that he was
feeling before—fear, she was beginning

to under'stand, that those on the ferry‘

had been : saved. She shramk -a little
away from him. ,Benjamin Corvet had

trouble; but nothing which she had un-

minutes ago she had still thought “of
these 'words as spoken only for Alan's
sake and for Uncle Benny's; now she
could not think of them so.
of news from the north could not be for
their sake; it was for Henry's own. Had
an 9the warnings been for Henry’s sake
oo. -

Horror and amazement ﬂowed in upon
her with her realization of this in the man
she had promised to marry; and he
seemed now to appreciate the effect he
was producing upon her. He had tried
obviously to pull himself together; he
~cou1d not do that fully; yet he managed
a manner assertive of his right over her.

“Connie,” he cried to her, "Connie!"

She drew back from him as he ‘ap—
proached her; she was not yet consciously
denying his right. " What was controlling
him, what might underlie his hope that
they were dead, she could not guess; she
could not think or reason about that now;
what she felt was only overwhelming
desire to be away‘ from him where she
could think connectedly. For an instant
she stared at him, all her body tense;
then, as she turned and went out. he fol-
lowed her, again calling her name. But,
seeing the seamen in the large office, he
stopped, and she understood he was not
willing to urge himself upon her in their
presence.

She crossed the ofﬁce swiftly; in the
corridor she stopped to compose herself
before she met her mother. She heard
Henry’s voice speaking to one of the
clerks, and ﬂushed hotly with horror.
Could she be certain of anything about
him now? Could she be certain even
that the news which came through these
employees of his would not be kept from
her or only so much given her as would
serve Henry’s purpose and enable him to
conceal from her the reason for this fear?
She pushed the door open.

“I'm willing to go home now, mother,
if you wish,” she said steadily.
Her mother arose at once.

he more news, Constance?”

“No; a schooner has picked up the
crew of the ship the ferry rammed; that
is all." 1

She followed her mother, but stopped in
the ante-room beside the desk of her
father's private secretary.

“You are going to be here all day.
Miss Bennet?" she asked.

"Yes, Miss Sherrill."

“Will you .try to see personally all
messages which come to Corvet, Sherriu
and Spearman. or to Mr. Spearman about
the men from Number 25. and telephone“
them to me yourself?"

“Certainly, Miss Sherrill."

MANY COMBIENT ON RADIO
, ,MARKET SERVICE

» Was a very happy moment when
on the evening of January ,4th
. we broadcast thréugh radio sta-
tion WlGHP, of Detroit,'our ﬁrst pro—
gram of market reports and farm
news. For a long time we had
dreamed of a. last minute serv1ce
like that for our subscribers and it
was then that our dream came true.
It meant, as Mr. George M. Slocum,
publisher of THE BUSINESS FARMER,
said in his short talk, that through
this .modern genii our farmers would
receive last minute market quota-
tions and news but a few hours after
the market’s close. “The Farm Pa—
per 8f Service” has adopted the most
modern invention to serve its read-
ers. , .
That we were not aloneun the
thought that Michigan agriculture
needed and was ready for such a.
service is indicated by the letters
and telegrams we received from
leading men of the state after they
learned of our plans. «Some of their
comments are as follows:
Gov. Groesbeck Approves

“I have been advised that it is the in—
tention of THE BUSINESS FARMER to
to broadcast through Station WGHP of
Detroit, beginning early in January. farm
market reports and other information that
will be of value to the Michigan farmer
in disposing of his products.

“This service will prove of exceptional
value to the producers of Michigan be-
cause 6f the fact that it will enable thou-
sands of them to receive timely informa-
tion pertaining to market conditions that
could be secured in no other way. -

“You are to be commended for the valu-
able service that you are about to render
to the farmers in this part of the coun-
t-ry.”——Alex J. Groesbeck, Governor of
Michigan.

From M. S. C. President

“It is easy to see that your proposed
daily broadcasting of market reports and
farm news can be made of almost im-.
measurable value to the farmers. Know-
ledge of market conditions and of produc-
tion tendencies becomes more important
every year. This ought to mean a. very
big ﬁne piece of work as I am sure it
will.”—Kenyon L. Butterﬁeld, President,
Michigan State College. -

Valuable Addition to Service

“I am pleased indeed to be advised by
Mr. Milon Grinnell, Managing Editor of
THE BUSINESS FARMER, that your paper
will broadcast market reports and farm
news from Station WGHP, of Detroit.

“This will make a very valuable addi--
tion to the agricultural service of the
state of Michigan, and the Department of
Agriculture thoroughly appreciates and
endorses your move in this direction. We
bespeak for the great farm audience of
Michigan great and lasting benefit there-
from."—L. Whitney Watkins, State Com-
missioner of Agriculture.

Progressive Step .

"I wish to congratulate you for the
progressive step taken in broadcasting
market reports and farm news. This is
a distinct service to farmers, which I am
sure will be appreciated by them. The
radio brings them into daily contact with
the rest of the world, and your particular
service will aid them in their marketing
and other farm problems without un-
necessary loss of time or effort on their
part.

“Wishing you the best of success in this
undertaking, I am.”—V. H. Church, Ag-
ricultural Statistician, U. S. Dept. of Ag-
riculture. .

Looking After Farmers’ Interests

“We were greatly pleased at Michigan

.State Farm Bureau headquarters to read

in the December issue ‘of THE BUSINESS
FARMER, that you would broadcast mar-
ket reports and farm news through Sta-
tion VVGHP, Detroit.

“This strikes me as one of the most
valuable services that can be rendered
the farmer, as the information -will reach
him in time to be of the greatest possible
beneﬁt. So many of the ﬁrms with whom
he deals have, in the past, secured in-
formation regarding market changes con-
siderably in advance of the time that the
farmer has gotten it in the newspapers.

Why “Red Strand” Fence
Is the Kind to Buy

There are several features that
make this product entirely dif-
ferent from all others, such as:
the copper- bearing steel that
goes into this new fence; the
patented “Galvannealed” proc-
ess which applies a 2 to3times
heavier zinc protection than or-
dinary galvanized Wire; the
knot that cannot slip; the full
gauge wires; the stiff picket-like
stay wires that make fewer
posts necessary ;the well crimped
line wires that retain their ten-

GAS TAX RECEIPTS EXCEED ESTEIATES

read with a. great deal of pleasure the re-

U‘ cent statement of Secretary of State De-
Land that on December 1st, 1925, the total
amount of money the state had received from the
2-cent gas tax had far exceeded the estimate of-
ﬁcials had made for the entire year. When the
law was enacted by legislature it was estimated
that receipts for a year would be around $6,000,—
000, and many thought these ﬁgures too liberal,
but when the state closed its books on Novem—
ber’s receipts it was found a total of over $7,500,-
000 had been collected up to that time. The
weight tax yielded around $13,500,000 in 1925
so it is believed the total revenue from the two
taxes on automobiles for the year will be well

over $21,000,000.

With a normal increase in the number cf cars
and in gas consumption ofﬁcials state the gas
tax will yield at least $900,000,000 in 1926.

And the line thing about it all is that each of
us have contributed only as we used the roads.
Let's have a higher gas tax and do way with the
weight tax and the annual license plates.

HORSE RACle G AT STATE FAIR

HAT the Michigan State Fair will cater to
the farmers of this state from now on is
indicated by the announcement that harness

horse racing will again be a feature. This state-
ment was given out by Walter Palmer, newly ap-
pointed director of exhibits and entertainment,
who was in Detroit recently for a short visit
preliminary to opening ofﬁces on the fair grounds
February ist.

Further, Mr. Palmer stated there were no
strings tied to him, that he had no friends to
favor, or enemies to punish, and he was going to
do all he could to make a Michigan Fair for
Michigan people, a great industrial and agricul—
tural exposition that will compare favorably with
any in the United States.

If that is the way he looks at his job we are
for him and want to cooperate in every way we
can. We feel that he has taken a proper step in
the right direction by again putting harness
horse races on the program, because there is no
other sport that a farmer enjoys quite as much.
Horse races are the main attraction of the county
fair and will draw farmers to the Detroitexposi—
tion if conducted without gambling, as Mr. Pal-

.mer has declared they will be.

ATTEND FARMERS' WEEK

RMERS’ Week at the Michigan State College

is not until the ﬁrst week in Februar but

it is none too early 'to make your plans to
attend. If you attend regularin you will need
no urging to go' this year, but if you have never
attended this wonderful annual event you do‘ not
know what you are missing.

, We were talking with a farmer the other day"

about Farmers’ Week and he declared he. would
not miss it fox-$50 in cash. “The ideas I get
during the week are worth many times that
amount of money to me eachyear," he said. And

Alsop-rm , .
' HE agricultural census Of; 1926 shows that

during the me years» since the latest decen— -
nial census the number of- horses on farms.

declined from 19,767,161 to 16,535,759. a de-
crease of 16.3 per cent. 'Young herses. those-less
than two years old at the beginning of 1925.
decreased 11 per cent as compared with with
the latest regular census. Mules increased 5.6
per cent during this ﬁve—year period, leaving the
net decrease in present and prospective animal
power on farms 1.1.6 per cent. The census ﬁgures
do not tell the whole story, however. Investiga-
tions here and there show that the average age of
farm horses is well advanced, and that replace-
ments are not equal to current losses. It’s about
time to raise a few good colts. The more the
other kind decrease the better off we will be.

THANIHNG OUR. FRIENDS

E wish to thank our friends for their ready
response to our request to renew expiring
subscriptions during the last few weeks.

The response has been all that we could expect .

or ask, and indicates that we are succeeding, in
a small way at least in giving you the kind of a
farm paper you believe in. Many .were so busy
with Christmas plans that they undoubtedly
overlooked renewing and we now urge them to
take care of the matter by an early mail so as not
to miss a copy. Remember for the small price of
a year’s subscription the editors of Ten Bounvnss
FARMEB will continue to be your hired “men for
another twelve months, and they are at your
service at all times.

 

ABARGAININLAND

QEVERAL inﬂuences now affecting the price of f
k, farm land are not likely to be permanent.
One of them, is the scarcity of labor and ten-
ants, which keeps men who are not farmers from
investing in farms. Another is the reaction from

‘ the high prices of a few years ago, which has

forced some land on the market. Another is the
fear of still higher taxation, or the fear that
the corn borer or some other pest may reduce the
value of the land or increase the cost of raising
things on it. These things should not deter the
man who knews how to handle land, and can do it
himself, from picking up a bargain in a farm. The
industry of agriculture is going to continue. Land
is not going to keep on selling for less than it is
worth to good farmers. All the-productive land
will he wanted by somebody some day at a price
commensurate with its capacity to produce.
Shrewd farmers are now , ﬁnding bargains in
farms, and their example might well be followed
by tenants who are competent ‘farmers but not
landowners. Both prices and terms are favors.

I

able to the buyer, and whenever his equity is :

sufﬁcient he can ﬁnancehis farm easier than over

'ECENT‘pre ‘publ hed an ar-
in‘ this department on

- chain selling of hosiery as
worked in Indiana; There now comes
to ourattention evidence that there
are several companies working the
scheme in Michigan. ‘

H The scheme involves the sale of
“contracts” for $4. To each con-
tract there are attached 3 coupons
which are to be sold to others at $1
each. If and when these others
bring in the coupon purchased for
$1, plus 33 additional,_ and them-
selves contract, the ilrst purchaser is
,entitled to $10.00 worth of mer-
chandise for $1. If he sold three
coupons but none of the persons
whom he sold. disposed of theirs he
might advance $6, which with the 84
paid by him and his friend would
make the amount of $10.

You. will notice this is a reversal

. of the ordinary way of doing busi-

ness; the customer extends credit to
the company. .

A case was recently put before At-
torney General ‘Da-ughtery and he
cited the case of Hubbard vs. Frei-
berger where the Supreme Court
ruled:

“This represents the question ﬁrst
as to whether this undertaking of
Anton is against public policy. It is
somewhat similar to the Bohemian
oats scheme. It is a scheme which
upon its face shows that it cannot
be worked without ultimately leav-
ing parties with these so-called cou—
pons on their hands possessing no
value and is well calculated to de-
ceive ignorant people. This en—
gagement of Auton’s, furnishing as
it does the only consideration for
this note and being in itself against
public policy, is as thought no con—
tract existed and furnishes no con-
sideration whatever.”

The attorney general added: “The
contract you have submitted must,
therefore, be held void as against
public policy. As was said in the
Hubbard case some parties under
this arrangement will get $10 worth
of goods for $1 and a little work,
while ultimately some one will be
left with coupons on hand of little
or no value.”

“W. W. WRIGLEY"

HE Wrigley Pharmaceutical Com-
pany, formerly of Florida and
now of Atlantic City, is circu-

larizing Michigan investors. This
concern trading on the popularity
and good will of the well—known
Wrigley Chewing Gum Company,
purports to manufacture “Spearmint
Tooth Paste.”

There is no connection between
the toothpaste manufacturer and the
gum manufacturer, although the
presidents of both companies bear
identical names. The pharmaceuti—
cal company letter head gives the
cable address "Spearmint" and the
signature "W. W. Wrigley" appears
in script almost identical to that
used on Spearmint chewing gum.

The Future Off/26.77616ﬂ720ﬂ6

 

(‘Ir WAS ﬁfty years ago that Alex. 
lander Graham Bellvinvcnted the
ltelephone, and yet this anniver-
sary is but a milestone in- the
progress of telephone develop-
ment. As the giant oak with its
complicated structure grows
from the acorn, so a nation-wide
system has grown out of Bell’s
single telephone instrument.

The interconnection of mil-
lions of telephones throughout
.the land, regardless of distance,
‘has not come about easily. It has
resulted from a series of scien-
tiﬁc discoveries and technical
achievements embodied in a
telephone plant of vast extent

and intricacy. Great econOmies
have already been gained by
such technical improvements
and more are sure to follow for
the beneﬁt of telephone users
everywhere. ,

There are still to come many
other discoveries and achieve-
ments, not only in transmission
of speech, but also in the material
and construction details of every
part of the network of plant.

The future of the telephone
holds forth the promise of a
service growing, always greater
and better, and of a progress
--.-the end of which no one can
foresee.

BAD FOOD MAY MAKE BAD
TEMPER

pers, listlessness, or apparent la-

ziness and poor school ‘work are
often caused by poor food instead. of
“pure cussedness” say child specml-
ists at South Dakota State College.

The well nourished child is stur-
dy, has a rosy, clear, skin, and ﬁrm
ﬂesh. His hair is glossy and his
eyes are bright; he stands erect, has
straight bones, a ﬂat back and a well
rounded chest. His teeth are strong
and white. He is enthusiastic, ac-
tive and energetic without being
nervous. .

Listlessness, nervousness, and_1r-
ritability are apt to be signs of im-
proper nourishment, or poor food.
Poor standing in classes goes With
malnutrition, and both physical and
mental development may be retard—
ed. Bow legs and knock knees are
sure symptoms, says the college.
Narrow ﬂat chests, and shoulder
blades that stick out like Wings
show that bone building foods have
been lacking in the child’s food.
Such a child is usually thin and his
ﬂesh will be pale and ﬂabby. His
eye may have dark circles around
them, and his expression is probably
dull. ,
Plenty of fresh fruits and veget—
ables and milk are good insurance
against faulty feeding. When these
are included in generous quantities
in the regular diet, the child runs
little risk or suffering from improper
nourishment.

“’hat the Bridegroom, Best Man and
Ushers \Vcar—Formal Dress.—-The Bride-
groom.——There is one generally accepted
rule of dress for the bridegroom at any
wedding (church or house) which takes
place during the day, before 6 P. M.:

A “morning” or cutaway coat, with
black waistcoat, dark gray stripped trous—
ers; a stiff white dress shirt (a silk
shirt is never worn at a weddnig), a wing
collar; either a black or white Ascot or
a black, white-tripod four-in-hand; grey
suede gloves, black silk socks (plain),
black patent leather or low black calf
shoes (spats are optional) and a high
silk hat. Necessary accessories 'are a.
cane and an elaborate white buttoniere.

This is the generally accepted formal
wedding dress for a bridegroom, whether
he is married at nine in the morning or'
four-thirty in the afternoon. Innovations
such as detail changes in arrangement of
white and black in the tie, or substi-
tution of a. White for a black waistcoat
"represent individual exceptions which
prove the rule.

The only correct dress for a bride-
groom at any wedding celebrated in the
evening, is formal evening dress. His
dress clothes should be of vicuna .wool,
black and dull-faced. A plain White
pique waist, white kid gloves, 3 white
handkerchief, and a white boutonniere,
with plain black silk socks and black ox-‘
fords or patent leather pumps, should be
worn.

It is well to remember that while the
formal rules anent the bridegi'oom’s
clothes are usually strictly adhered to in
the city, they are often suspended in the
country and the smaller town. There he
may be married in a dark business suit
(preferably black or blue) or white
trousers and dark coat in summer, and
it will not be regarded as out of place.
The bridegroom always presents their ties,
gloves and boutonnieres to his best man
and ushers.

Informal Dress. The Bridegroom.——It
might be said that since even an informal
wedding is formal (if not in the social
sense, at least because of its solemn and
binding nature)’ that “informal” clothes
should never be worn by the bridegroom.
There may be good practical reasons for
a man to be married in a neat business‘
suit (at least let it be of some dark ma-
terial), but there is no social warrant
for it and from the standpoint of eti-
quette it is not correct. Still worse, how-
Iever, from the point of view' of correct-
ness, would it be to wear a Tuxedo.

The Best Main-The only point if dif-
ference in dress between the bridegroom
and best man at a wedding is the bouton-
niere. The best man’s should be a little
smaller. If you feel you must be married
in a businses suit then your best man
should not wear formal clothes. '

The Ushers.—The ushers wear the pro-
per formal afternoon or-evening clothes,
like the bridegroom and best man; and
they should all wear exactly the same
style of collar, tie, gloves, socks and
shoes. v

What applies to bridegroom, best man, ‘
ushers, etc., is also the rule, for male
relatives of bride and bridegroom. They .
wear the formal afternoon or evening.
clothes demanded. ’ v

{EAR girls and boys: I am pub-
lishing a. letter from Jeanette
Olson, ’of Northport, the girl

who has never walked, and ,I am
sure all of you who w wrote her will
be very happy to read her letter and
learn, how she enjoyed the many let-
ters and gifts she received from the
members of the Children’s (Hour.
All of you are going to receive a per-
sonal letter from her in time but
over a hundred girls and boys wrote
her and it will take some little time
to reply to all, so she asks you to be
patient with her.

I too want to thank you most
heartily for responding so quickly
to the appeal.
your best to make Jeanette happy
and I am more prOud of you—if
that is possible—than I ever was.
No appeal in the Children’s Hour
goes unheeded we can proudly say.

In the next issue we may be able
to spare space for another contest,
at least I hope so.-—-UNCLE NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

 

Dear Uncle Ned:-—-I am well and hope
you and everybody else are the very same.
The reason I am writing to you is because
I want to give every boy and girl a chance
to do something for Jesus. There is a
room in the north-west corner of the chil-
dren’s home, where a little girl is suf-
fering but is always cheerful. The doc-

‘ tors really do not know what is the mat—

ter with‘ her. She has a papa and mama,
but her papa left when she was three days
old and never came back again. Her
mother was poor and she asked them at
the children’s home to take her family of
four children. I will ask a favor of you
to send her letters and Christmas pres-
ents, if your mama and papa will let you.
Send her cheery words and not a whole
lot of junk she will not be interested in.
Her address is Laura May Rodgers, in
care of the Mennonite Children's Home,
Millersville, Pennsylvania. Uncle Ned,
please print this letter in THE BUSINESS
FARMER. I do hope Old Mr. Letter Gob-
ler don‘t eat my letter for his dinner.

I have ﬁve brothers and dye sisters.
There are ﬁve scholars, in our school. Our
teacher’s name is Miss Rachel Ellen Ever—
ett.

Well, I must describe myself. I am
twelve years old, have a. light complexion.
am ﬁve feet tall and the last time I
weighed, .I weighed eighty-two pounds.
Every girl, not boy, who writes to Laura
May, please write to me too if your mama
and papa. will let you, and please do not
forget. . I

Uncle Ned, I know what kind of a con-

test you should have, you should tell the
boys and girls to make up a. Christmas
song with any tune they'wish to have it
sung by, and give small prizes, but not
money if you choose. You may do as
you like. I am your friend, Marie Sudcr-
man. Box 32, Comins, Michigan.
—As we could not publish Marie's letter
before Christmas it is rather late to play
Santa Claus to Laura May Rodgers. but
I am sure any letters or small gifts will
be appreciated just as much now as at
Christmas time. At least write a. letter
to her to show there are some girls in
Michigan who think of her. Marie sug-
gests that only girls write but I'believe
that Laura would enjoy hearing from all
of you. ‘

We are going to have more contests
soon, Marie, and I hope you will enjoy
them.

Dear Uncle Ned:—-This is -the second
time I’ve written to you. We’ve been tak-
ing THE Busmnss FARMER for quite a.
while and I am very much interested in;
the Children's Hour. I read every letter
that is published on that page. For pets
I have at home a gray cat Whose name

is Grace. six rabbits 'and ii: yellow
chicks. I live two miles from school. I
like my school work very well. Everybody
should if they go «to school. Am I not

right, Uncle Ned?
Now I will describe myself as the other
cousins do. Lam four feet and seven

Dear Uncle Nedz—I received my pin  7:,

about six months ago and also your letter.
I like the pin very much. I think that
the children who chose it have‘wery good
ideas. My last letter I wrote was not
published, but I hope Mr. Waste Basket
has just had his till. '-

Well, I guess I will describe myself.
I am five feet tall and I am not fat or

skinny, I am just right. I .am twelve _
years,old and in the seventh grade. I ._

have dark brown hair and brown eyes.

Well, Uncle Ned, I hope that you will
let me join your merry circle. I tried to
join before but I failed. I hope you

Won't say that I cannot join your circleA

Well. Uncle Ned,‘ don’t you think that
this year has gone fast? I do. Christ-
mas will soon be here, but still I am
glad for Christmas is my favorite holi-
day and I guess it is everybody el’se’s
also.

I take music lessons every Wednesday.
I like music very muchmbut I don’t like
to practice so well. My music teacher’s

name is Miss Margaret Hartwickk I like '

her very much.

I do not live on a farm. I live in a.
restaurant which I like quite well, be-
cause I seldom have to wash dishes.

I like THE BUSINESS FARMER very
much and I also like the Children’s Hour.
I only wish that it came as a. daily paper.
I can’t hardly wait to go and get the
mail because I know that there is 3.

it was raining, but it was very nice. If ~

been a lot better, but we cannot help the
weather, can we, Uncle Ned?

Well I must leave room for someone
else. Godd-bye. From your .want-to-be
niece—Margaret Underwood, Om’er. Mich.
—Yes. time has wings, and a year passes
rapidly. I have had the pleasure of
seeing the Niagara Falls by the light of
the sun and the moon. both, and it is
beautiful at any time. It is indeed a

wonder of the world and worth traveling;

many miles to see. Other sights you
would enjoy the the Rocky Mountains
and the Grand Canyon.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have just written
to Jeanette Olson. I hope many other let-
ters may reach her, as she said she would
be glad to hear-from the readers of TH!

Just a few words about the Euro-
pean corn borer. -Many.of our farm-
ers think the worm that bores in the
ear is the dreaded European Corn
Borer. I have a brother living in
Kent county, Ontario, and could our
farmers see the work that European
Corn Borer does it would be an eye
opener. I believe one of the best
methods to combat the European
Corn Borer would be the method our
forefathers empfoyed to combat the
coddling moth. Before the advent
of spraying, they used an open ﬂame

   

warm nights when the moths com-
menced to ﬂy~about. A moth with
burned wings does not go far. It
will take every knewn device to get
the upper hand of Mr. Borer.—R. J.
Bowman, Huron County.

AGAIN 91‘ WIDE SLEIGHS

EAR EDITOR: As for Wide

sleighs, they may be all right

in logging camps where they
have iced roads. 'My opinion is
they are only horse—killers up north
here where we have lots of snow.
I have interviewed several farmers
on the subject and failed to ﬁnd one
in favor of wide sleighs. Mr. Fran-
cis G. Smither in the October 24th
issue expressed my opinion to. per-
fection—O. G. Barth, Leelanau
County.

EAR EDITOR: Have been think-
ing of writing to you for a
long time and now I am at it.
I like everything in THE BUSINESS
FARMER. The weather forecast is
ﬁnewcan’t be beat. Don’t ever cut
that out. Up here in Osceola county
the weather is exact day for day
right along. I could farm right up
to date if I could get the Weather
for one year ahead or the six months
in the summer. Another part is the
Fruit and Orchard, and I would
want it for Michigan only. I have
taken fruit papers but they take in
all the states. What will do for
other states won’t do for us. I would
like to see a whole page written on
fruits and gardening—great, ,I’ll say.
—H. Loomis, Osceola County.

DO NOT RUSH CROPS TO
MARKET

' EAR EDITOR: I“ have rented a

farm near Millington, and have-

n’t received my good old M. B.
F. It seems lonesome without it.
It would be a lot of goodto all
farmers if they would read it. I have
been farming seventeen years and
read THE BUSINESS FARMER about
eight and ﬁnd it the best service
farm paper. In the market lines it
is sure the best. I think if farm-

AND

keting their crops and not ﬂood it
too fast we would receive much bet—
ter results. I have learned, for in-
stance, the potatoes this fall Were
not marketed very fast and just see
the prices—W. G., Millington, Mich.

nnioMANoE on MINERAL 

v y ~’.l.‘lilN'1‘ DE 80118 ‘ r

HAT the mineral content of the'
soil plays a very important part
in the development of/ various
breeds of livestock cannot be denied
by the thinking student of live stock
development. With practically no
exceptions the world’s most famous
breeds~of all kinds of farm animals
have originated and are now found
in those regions that are rich in
those elements that are most often
deﬂCient in the animal’s~ ration.
Limestone regions have particularly
contributed to the best we have in
live stock. A review of the sections

.of the world from which our best

animals come will invariably show
that these are hard water regions,
and that as this hardness of the wa-
ter and the generous amounts of cal—
c1um or lime gives way to a Soft wa-
ter region and a' lack of calcium or
lime, that the quality of the animals
produced in the soft water region
became inferior to the others. It is
a well known fact that in most in-
stances low boggy wet peaty lands
are not suitable for the raising of
live stock. On the other hand we
ﬁnd in many sections of the world
where the climate is arid or semi—
arid that the stock produced there is
of very ﬁne quality. This can be ac-
counted for in this manner: The
dryness of the atmosphere permits

of vegetation containing large
amounts of minerals.——-Dr. George
H. Gonn.

BALANCED RATION

Will you please inform me how to
make up a balanced ration for milch
cows? Have corn, oats and barley»
for grain and will purchase bran
and oilmeal. For roughage have ﬁrst
cutting alfalfa, shredded corn stover
and bean pods—T. J. Akron, Mich.
I sisting -of 300 pounds ground

corn, 250 pounds ground oats,
200 pounds bran, and 200 pounds oil
meal (old process), together with
about one pound of alfalfa hay to
a hundred pounds- of live weight
for each cow and‘ what shredded
corn stover and bean pods the cows
care to clean up.

You do not say what kind of cows
you have, but for high testing cows,
such as Guernseys and Jerseys, I
would feed the above ration at the
rate of one 'pound of grain for each
three pounds of milk produced. For
lower testing cows, such as Hol—
steins, I would feed the grain at the
of one pound to each three and one-

WOULD suggest a mixture con—

half to four pounds of milk pro-
duced—«J.- E. Burnett, Associate
Professor of Dairy Husbandry,

Michigan State College.

FEEDING SPEIIDS S'l‘R'AW
Will you please inform me as to
the value of spelts straw for horse
feed? I have been told that the
beards cling to the throat of the ani-
mal impossible of dislodgement.-——
W. S., ‘Moddersville, Mich.

OUR question is an exceedingly
diﬂicult one for me to answer,
inasmuch as I am unable to de-

termine where spelts straw has ever
been used as a horse feed.

In my opinion it would give some—
what the same results as barley
straw. Horses like barley straw but
are caused some discomfort through
the fact that the beards cling to
their cheeks and throat. I imagine
that spelts straw would have the
same effect. Any _straw is not very
valuable as a feed for horses doing
heavy work, .as they contain such a.
small percentage of nutrients.\ How-
ever, they fnay be utilized to advan-
tage for horses doing light work or
for animals that are idle. I would
hesitate before feeding spelts straw
as a sole roughage in any consider-
able quantity.—R. S. Hudson, Farm
Superintendent, M. S. C.

Last March I wrote you in regard

A few days after writing for Book,
she kicked over a box stall door
and caught and bruised the leg
badly. She was very lame and
two small openings near the hock
' joint developeu which matterated.
I used several kinds of treatment
and ﬁnally decided on “Save-The-
Horse" Remed . Your ointment
stopped the ischarge and the
"Save-The-Horse” completed the
cure. I farmed with her all sum-
mer, and she is now working on a
thirty mile mail route.

‘ .  DOESN’T BARK
» We have a collie dog about six or
eight months old and would like to
know if there is anything wrong
with him as he never barks. He
hears all right, because whenever
there is any noise or anyone knocks
up goes his ears, but he never barks.
Can you tell us what is wrong? Our
neighbors say he will bark after he
grows older, but it seems strange for
a healthy dog not to bark—~Mrs. K.,
Coloma, Mich.

healthy dog that could not bark

this would be possible; give him
time. .Most dogs as you know, bark
too much. Following throat trouble
some dogs 'do not bark'tor some
time but as a general thing this
comes all right. Possibly this dog
will come alright in time.

HORSE‘COUGHS
I have a horse 7 years old that
started coughing last spring and we

have tried most everything but with-
out results.‘ The horse eats very

or breathes heavily. The doctor said
he nearly had pneumonia -last
spring. Please send me a recipe for
the medicine if there is anything
that can be done—B. W., Mayville,
Mich.

0U should be as careful as possi-
ble with ,this horse and do not
permit him to overeat, especi-
ally of hay. This will bring on this
heavy breathing and nothing but
careful feeding will prevent it. For
the cough you might try the follow-
ing: Have your druggist dissolve 2
drains of potassium dichromate in 1
pint of fowlers solution of arsenic.
Give 1 tablespoonful of this night
and. morning on the ground feed for
one month. Discontinue for one
week and then continue as before if
necessary. Water and feed often'
but not in great quantities.

The Trouble Maker.—=By E. R. East-
man. The milk strike in New York State
in 1916 which resulted in the formation
of the Dairymen’s League is the rather
unusual subject of this story. The novel
is full of life and action and the court
scene at the trial of the hero—“the
trouble-maker"-—is both dramatic and
amusing. There is much homely fun and
entertaining talk. throughout the tale,
there are comical incidents at the'circus
and the county fair, and in addition the
author succeeds admirably in his purpose
of showing the real importance and sig-
niﬁcance of thé‘ co-operative movement
by his lively story of the Dairymen’s
Loague fight for fair prices. Price $2.00.
Published by The Macmillan Company.

Rheumatism.
A Remarkable Home Treat-
ment Given by One \Vlio Had It

In the year of 1893 I was attacked by
Muscular and Sub—Acute Rheumatism. I
Iuﬁ'ered as only those who are thus af-
ﬂicted know for over three years. I tried
remedy after remedy, but such relief as
I obtained was only temporary. Finally,
I found a 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 sevsnty to eighty
years old, and the results were the same
as in my own case.

BLACK HEAD

DEAR EDITOR: In the poultrync.

partment of almost every farm
paper, we”often see letters from
turkey owners complaining of a’disi

ease called “black head.” The‘aymp-E

toms vary a little, but the results are
about the same—turkeys die. The
disease spreads, and no, wonder
those who love to raise these beau-
tiful' birds get discouraged. No

breed seems to be immunedg, It at!

tacksall varieties. - 
. I believe I can help.someb_ody a
little. In years past I raised. turkeys
and chickens. This trouble’caused
the loss of some of my ﬁnest.tur-
keys. At last I seemed to conquer
it. I would like to
home remedy that cured some very
Slck turkeys for me. The birds were
nearly mature, but I would keep "108-
mg. ‘
I took a half teaculpful of souri’?
buttermilk, put into it two table-i
spoonsful of charcoal taken from!{
wood ashes in the kitchen range,?
and pounded ﬁne so no pieces were
larger than grains of corn. I added:
a generous sprinkle of red pepper,

and enough bread crumbs to make‘

a soft mash, easily swallowed. The
turkeys were very weak and had
eaten nothing for days. I could

easily catch them. They seemed past r

cure. I handled them gently and
put this dose down their throats
carefully, at small mouthful at a
tlme, three times a day. I placed
them in a. fenced lot by themselves,
and placed clean water so they could
get it.
look around for food. Then I dosed
them but twice a day and gave the-m
bread crumbs and a little corn. As
they grew better I dosed them butt
once a day. At the end of a‘we‘ek‘
they seemed well, only very thin in
ﬂesh. They grew to be thrifty, ﬁne
blrds, never had the trouble again
and lived many years. It costs very
little to try this—no poison and no
danger at all. . ,

Turkeys should never be allowed
to roost in closed buildings nor with
chickens. Little shelter isxneeded
except when they are small, and
then shelter should be airy. Just
shelter enough to keep them dry it
a rainy time comes. A fenced or—
chard is ﬁne during the breeding
season. If quills of one wing are
shortened about half they will not
ﬂy, but low roosts should be pro-
vided so that they can not get hurt
coming down mornings. I believe,
too, that if a mash feed mixed With
sour buttermilk, some charcoal and
pepper, is given them three times a.
week it will go far toward prevent-
ing disease. Never over feed. Give
just about as much as they can clean
up in twenty minutes. Do not make
a sticky mash that will pack into a
solid mass, and make them crop
bound. The same rules applies to
chickens also. Let all birds have
clean water at all times, and scald
out the drinking dishes often., _

Turkeys are ﬁne insect destroyers.
No food is better for them than
crickets and grasshoppers. When_
these are» plentiful you need not;
bother about other food. Mrs. Flo-i.
rence Howard.

" Appreciate Service ,'

"The" proper "distribution and marketing
of agricultural products is as necessary
to ﬁnancial success of the farmer of to-
day is his efficiency in production, con-
sequently he is demanding the latest mar-

ket information at the earliest possible

moment. I am sure our Michigan farm-
ers and live Stock producers will appre-
ciate the radio service that one of our
leading. agricultural publications is in-
augurating tonight by broadcasting cor-
rect market information over Station
WGHP each evening."—E. A. Beamer,
President, The Michigan Cooperative Live
Stock Exchange.

' Largest Measure of Service

"Kindly accept my heariest congratus

lations and best wishes for your epoch-
making venture in still further extending
the scope of the policy of THE BUSINESS
FARMER of providing the largest measure
of service to Michigan agriculture.

“Your most progressive action in,broad-
casting timely market information and
farm- news should receive the enthusias-
tic approval of your- readers and of the
other farmers of the state as well.

-“As you pioneer in this new field of
business farmer activity may you have
demonstrated most convincingly the truth
of the motto of the Rotary Clubs, “He
proﬁts most who serves best."—Stan1ey
M. Powell. ‘ ,

“Congratulations” -

"Congratulations! We are sure that
farmers of Michigan and neighboring
states will use and appreciate your new
radio service in their interests. Call on
us for any assistance we can give you.”
——-L. E. Osmer, Manager of Michigan Ele-
vator Exchange.

, Big Task

“I am indeed pleased to know that THE
BUSINESS FARMER is undertaking the task
of broadcasting to the producers of this
territory a. comprehensive report on the
market conditions and prices of farm pro-
duce. To assemble this information ac-
curately on the right crops, the right
grades and from the right markets, to
properly take care of the needs of~ Mich-
igan producers primarily, is indeed a big
and expensive task, but I am sure you
will not attempt to slight in any way a
complete program of market information
becauSe of that fact.

"I am particularly pleased that you are
going to broadcast at a time when the
average farmer can be in his home to
receive it. He needs the information tre-
mendously, and as the number of receiv—
ing sets in farm homes increases, this
service should be of constantly increasing
value as an aid to him in solving one of
his most troublesome problems—that of
disposing of his products to the best ad-
vantage. -

“The Municipal Bureau of Markets of
the City of Detroit will gladly cooperate
to the fullest extent in this work.

"With cordial good wishes for the un-
qualiﬁed success of your new service pro-
ject, I am.”—G. V. Branch, Director.
Municipal Bureau of Markets.

Ahead of Times

“On the eve of the installation of
Radio Service by THE BUSINESS FARMER,
for the beneﬁt of Michigan farmers, allow
me to extend two congratulations, one to
the farmers of Michigan that they have
in their state a. farm paper owned and
edited in Michigan, with interest enough
in" the welfare of the Michigan agricul-
turalists to institute a practical radio
service for them, and a congratulation
for the management of THE BUSINESS
FARMER that they have the loyal support
of so many thousands of Michigan farm-
ers so that it is possible for them to con-
tinually forge ahead and keep the “Farm
Paper of Service” just a little ahead of
the times.”——L. W. Meeks.

Welcome Service

“In no branch of agriculture are up-
to-the-minute market reports of more
vital importance than in fruit growing.
The fruit market is notoriously erratic
and many an ill-informed fruit grower
has been taken in by a well informed
buyer.

V“In certain sections, last fall, many
apple growers who delayed picking their
apples in order to get'more color suffered
heavy loss from an‘ unexpected freeze.
Adequate warning of this cold spell might
have saved a, considerable portion of their
crop.

“Warning of the movement and prob-
able arrival of, rainstorms during the
spraying season should also be of great
help to the fruit, growers in ﬁghting fun-
gus diseases. >

“As a. fruit grower I welcome this valu-
able service and am proud of the paper
that makes it possible."——Herbert Naf-
ziger.

Splendid Thing

“Your radio broadcasting program is a
most splendid thing. It will add char—
acter and usefulness to the paper. I can
well believe that the farm folks will
look upon this as a very attractive fea-
ture of your.organized plans to help
them.”——Rev. David F. Warner.

A.  Speculators Continue Active in Wheat Market

Cattle in Demand and Bullish Tone To Hog Market
By W. W. FOOTE. Market Editor.

new year, 1926, has started

I, I happily for most of us, follow-

.1.

ing a twelve month period that
was an improvement on the year
1924. The daily papers have print-
ed page after page of information
about the great achievements of city
and farm folks, and the one great
point made is the country is the
most prosperous one in the world.
Undue prominence has been given to
the bad luck of some of the Iowa
farmers, and leading banks have
gone on record as stating unequiv-
ically that banks in most part of
that state are ingood shape and are
prepared to do their full part in
helping their farm patrons by mak-
loans at comparatively
low rates of interest. Our Michigan
farmers do not need to be remind-

.ed that within a short time wheat

has made a ﬁne record by selling not
far below the $2 mark, an achieve-
ment extremely satisfactory to all of
them, and even corn has at last un—
dergone a good advance, brought
about very larger by the eﬁo’rts of

. legislators to take government meas-
‘ ures for the purposes of reducing the
. supply in sight and helping the farm-

" farmer

ers to‘ dispose of their too large sur—
plus after feeding their live stock.
It seems probable that the average
in planning his acreage of

' the different feed grains will try to

arrange for feeding the most of

, these crops and have less for sale

' than heretofore.

The Winter wheat
acreage has been estimated by the
Department of Agriculture as 1 per
cent smaller ‘than a year ago, but
there seems to be no need of restrict—

‘ ing the Wheat area, although. no one
‘ can tell What other wheat producing

countries will do in seeding wheat
and the other cereals. Our rye acre—
age has been estimated at 3,426,000
acres, sugesting a reduced crop. Hay,
potatoes, butter and eggs are bring—
ing good prices, and poultry is sell-
ing well. During the Christmas and
New Year holidays prime turkeys
sold in the retail Chicago markets
as’ high as 60 cents a pound.
Gross Values of Grain
Ofﬁcial estimates of values of farm
crops by the Department of Agri-

 culture, show that despite increased

production of grain crops in the
United States during the past year,

t the gross value was $708,000,000
' less in 1925 than in 1924.

The gross value of grain crops
for 1925 is placed at $3,810,713,000
compared with $4,518,716,000 in
1924. The largest deﬁcit is in corn,
of which 2,900,581,000 bushels was
produced the past year compared
with 2,312,745,000 bushels in 1924,

i but the gross value of which is esti—

demands of

mated at $1,956,326.000 for 1925,
compared with $2,270,564.000 in
1924.
Speculation in Wheat

Speculators are big traders in the
Chicago Wheat market, and this im-
portant grain continues to attract
far more interest than the other ce-
reals on the Chicago Board of Trade.
As is usual when trading is on a
large scale, ﬂuctuations in prices
are correspondingly wide, and week-
ly spreads in quotations areextreme-
ly large. Wheat has been selling
around prices not much different
from those paid a year ago, being
much higher than several months
ago, when the price hung about
$1.50, but $2 wheat nbw looks some
time off, despite the bullish statis-
tical showing of crops and promised
importing countries.
New wheat has been selling around
$1.81, while sales for May delivery
were made of corn at 87 cents, com-
paring with $1.28 a year, ago, talk
of proposed legislation having put
prices higher. High grade wheat

cents during the last two weeks of
December, and ultimately much
higher prices are expected. 'Canada
has liberal amounts of exportable.
wheat, but the supply in the United
States is light. May oats sell around
46 cents, comparing with 62 cents a.
year ago, and May rye at $1.13, com-
paring with $1.54 a year ago. Low
prices for feed grains tend to bring
about larger consumption on the
terms; than usual. Cold weather has
improved corn grading, and Missouri
River market report a good demand
for corn to move south, southwest
and west. Because of the injury to
the wheat crop of Argentina, Europe
will have to import Canadian wheat
extensively.

cent weeks, and are in fair demand

Country buyers looking
around for good feeders have to
face IiVe‘ly competition from the
packers who are buying good steers
carrying a moderate amount of beef,
and numerous good “feeders are 'be-

ing slaughtered, thereby cutting into

the “future beef. supply. Recently the

demand has shown a marked pre-‘

ference for yearlings and - light
weight steers, and at times when
prices were lower these sold off less
than weighty steers. Calves have had
a. good outlet at $7 to $13.50 ‘per
100 pounds, and milkers and spring-
ers are having a good sale at $50
to $100 per head, buyers making
their purchases mainly at $65 to
$80. ’

Good Demand for Cattle

Average cattle prices in the Chi-
cago stock yards are remunerative
for stockmen, although the extreme-
ly high sales in November and De—
cember are no longer seen. On the
other hand, the common to fairly
good cattle are selling quite well
most of the time, and prices for beef
steers have been at a much narrower
range, with the bulk of the sales
lately at $8.25 to $10.50 per 100
pounds. The choicer lots of heavy
corn—fed steers and fat“ light weight
yearlings have sold of late at $10.25
to $11.50, with good steers selling
for $9.50 and upward and ordinary
to fair light steers at $7.25 to $8.25.
A year ago beef steens' were sold for
$6.40 to $12, ten years ago at $5.60
to $9.85 and fourteen years ago at
$4.75 to $8.55. Stockers and feed-

year’ssubs'tantial proﬁts. To begin
with, the new year started off with
a serious shortage of young hogs and
pigs, and in addition to this, the de-
mand for lard is so great that stocks
of that important staple decreased
in western packing points last month
3,039,000 pounds. Then there is a
great call for fresh pork products,
and increased consumption of pork
chops and roastsgo far to offset the
increase in December of 23,473,000
pounds of cured hog products. One
of the big strengthening factors in
the hog market is found in the un-
usually large demand in the Chicago
market for the choicer class of hogs
of the lighter weights to ship to the
eastern packing points. On a recent
Monday around 60,000 hogs arrived
in the stock yards of that city, and
purchases made for eastern ship-
ment aggregated 20,558 hogs. Re—
cent good advances in prices have
occurred, placing quotations on a far
'higher level than in most recent
years, and looking ahead, it may be
said that further up-turns are ex-
pected. Receipts are running much
smaller in numbers than a year ago,
and there is every encouragement for

Lambs and Radio ‘

Here is~a warning to ’sheepmen
that should be heeded. It comes
from the Wool Growers CommissiOn ,,
Company of Chicago: “We believe i
our friends located tributary to this
market are m‘aking a seriousmi‘s-
take by loading stuﬂ on information
they get over the radio. For in—
stance, last Monday the government
estimate was only 9,000 for Tues—
day. This was broadcast about noon.
Now it is dollars to doughnuts that
over a hundred shippers, hearing of
the light estimate,
lambs on cars and sent them in. The
result was a run of 20,000 here 4
Tuesday instead of the estimated
9,000.
ing well and guessing it pretty
closely, yet mistakes are made, and

you shippers are only making it I" 

worse by trying to get here whenzthe
estimate is light. It would be better -
to call up your commission man  .
get in touch with him rather than
trust the radio. The radio is all
right for market information but ’
when it comes to supplies, cut it
out.”

Bull Corn Item ' ‘

The International Harvester com--
pany oﬁers to trade implements to
farmers for their corn.

Alexander Logger president, an—
nounced that in the belief that com; _ 
will go to or above $1 a bushel with-5 
in the next six months, and in. the 

. hope that his organization’s action 
will help to restore conﬁdence 7
throughout the corn belt, the Harves— . '
ter company has authorized its deal- I ‘
are all over the country to accept any
merchantable corn in payment for I
farm implements on the basis of No. ‘
2 corn at $1 a bushel, Chicago
market. . - 

If corn goes above $1 a bushel be- -
fore the farmer is called upon to de-
liver it next May, June, or July, he
can sell it elsewhere and settle for
his implement purchases in the reg—
ular way. I i -.

According to Mr. Legge’s plan, the
corn is tobe delivered either at the ’
local'elevatorsfor. Le. b. cars at the »
dealer’s station. The farmer will be .. . 
given thirty days’ notice of the time .
when he is to deliver theeoi‘n.

  *EEANS I
i '/ We are very 'much disappointed
with the way the price of beans is
going but .it is no more than can be
exepected as long as reports con-
tinue to go out advising we have a
large increase over a year ago. We
do not believe there is a great in—
crease in the total crop and feel sure
a close investigation would bear us
out in this statement. It must be
remembered there were many acres
of beans that Were not harvested,
bad weather preventing, and this is
'true in other states besides Michi-
gan. Then there were acres and
acres of beads stored that were wet
and the owners had to rush them to
market as soon as they were thresh-
ed to prevent them from spoiling on
their hands. In fact wet beans have
been coming to market at such a
rate that elevators, in Michigan at
least, have had a real problem to
handle them. Of course these beans
are heavy pickers and this helps to
bring down the total crop of good
beansfor the year. Choice Michigan
beans should be bringing 5 cents a
pound today.

POTATOES

There is a fair.demand for pota—
toes at Detroit and the market is
ﬁrm at a recent advance. Potato
growers in this state are not selling
potatoes veryreadily at present and
many are putting their crop in stor—
age to sell later. The growers near
Traverse City are turning down of-
ters of $2 per hundred pounds, it is
said, and are holding feeling they
can get more in the near future.
There is some feeling that prices will
continue to work higher during this
month. February will be uncertain
and after that a. decline will set in.

Week of January 17

BE week of January 17th begins

with a day or two of generally

fair weather and more or less

cold temperatures but rapidly mod-

erating. About Tuesday we look for

quite a mild' period for the season,

misty and foggy weather, as well as

general rains or snows in combina-
tion with sleet.

All of these conditions may not
effect any one place in the state
between Tuesday and Thursday but
according to the topography of the
country and other local conditions
these various phases of the weather
for this period will be manifest in
one way or another. Generally
speaking, we are of the opinion that
most parts of the state will receive
plenty of precipitation during the
above mentioned dates.

‘About Friday or Saturday look
for a sudden change to much lower
temperatures, possibly a cold wave
being ushered in by high winds and
ﬁne sleet or snow.

Week of January 24

Cold, fair weather over most parts
of the state of Michigan is the gen-
eral rule to expect during opening
days of the week of January 24th.
This condition we expect will be es-
pecially true immediately after the
middle of the week but by Friday
there will be a general moderation
of temperature and increasing cloud-
iness.

There will be general precipita-
tion in most parts of Michigan at
end of this week as the result of the
low pressure area that is expected
to move across the northern part of
the United States at this time. The
state will hardly escape some high
Winds during latter part of week;
however, this may be of a more 10—
cal character than general.
