As stated in a previous article, the
Buffalo Stock Yards Company has
granted the use of one end of the
sheep barn, which location was se-
lected by a committee of federal and
state oﬂlcials interested in the plan.
These accredited cattle will there-
fore be entirely segregated from the
other cattle in the yards. The breed-
ers of dairy cattle for eastern ship-
ment will be greatly beneﬁted by
this new system of marketing tub-

be bought in the country, but each
farmer will deliver to his shipping
association. cows satisfactory to the
eastern trade, which he may wish to
sell. Where there is no shipping as-

semble a carioad of cattle at certain
intervals and consign same to his

tion of receiving satisfactory prices.

Regulations

Class of cattle eligibler—l. Cattle
from fully accredited herds; 2. Cat-
tle from accredited counties or other
accredited areas.

WA]! cattle consign?
ed to the segregated section in the‘
Builalo Stock Yards must be accom-
panied by individual test charts for
each animal. Such test charts shall
be certiﬁed by the live stock ofﬁcials
of the state of origin, Or by a duly
authorized state or federal inspector,
or by an approved veterinarian, and
shall show that said cattlej)’ 'nated
in accredited herds or modiﬁ ac-
credited areas, and that such cattle
have been tuberculin tested within
one year prior to date of shipment.
Such test charts must be forwarded
by mail in suﬁicient time to reach
consignee at Buffalo in advance of
the shipment. Registered or special
delivery mail should be used.

All classes of cattle from accred—
ited herds and areas where all be-
vine animals, including steers and
bulls, have been tuberculin tested
may be included in shipment. Dairy
animals in such shipments will be
placed in the “Accredited Dairy Cow
Area" of the Buffalo Stock Yards
and the remaining animals yarded
in the regular cattle pens. Mixed
shipments of accredited dairy cows
with bulls and steers can not be
made from modiﬁed accredited areas
where all bovine animals have not
been tuberculin tested.

Outgoing shipments—A11 cattle
shipped, from the segrated section at

:1: 150 Attend Second Annual-Conference to Discuss Problems of Fighting Pest

AR was declared on the Europ-
ean Corn Borer. some time ago
and much'good work has been

accomplished to date, but we have

just begun. our 1, ﬁght. This seemed
to, be the general, opinion of about
150 entomologi'sts,agronomism, agri-
cultural college deans, county
agricultural. agents, bankers, farm
paper editors, representatives of the
censors and can manufacturers, and
farmers, who gathered at Detroit
Saturday, Sept. 25th, attending the
second annual international corn
borer conference, following. a tour
of two days through the infested
areas of Ohio, Michigan, and on-
tario, Canada. Practically e ver y
state in the Union where corn is an

important crop was represented.
Canada also had representatives
there '

The tour started Thursday from
Toledo, Ohio, and plans were laid
to visit several farms in Ohio and
Michigan where infestation is severe,
but-rain upset these plans, ﬁelds be-
ing in such shape that it was prac-
tially impossible to get into them.
A visit was paid to the laboratory at
Monroe and some machines built by
three leading farm machinery manu-
facturers were demonstrated as well
as possible without taking them into
the muddy ﬁelds. All appeared. to
be very practical- ,

It was at Monroe where they had
“an opportunity to study at close
.range two parasites that are being
bred to combat the corn borer.
Michigan this year has bred and re-
leased 75,000 of them, known as
"exeristes” and “habrobaoon”. The
ﬁrst is a wasp-like insect that attacks
the borer by stinging it through the
stalk. It has a long stinger which
it thrusts through the side of the
stalk and into the borer ,which it
paralizes, then it proceeds, to lay
eggs on the helpless pest, and within
36 V hours the tparasite’s larvae
hatches and begins feeding on the
borer. The second parasite is an ex—
tremely small ﬂy that follows the
borer into the stalk, and it stings
the borer paraliizing it, just as the
ﬁrst parasite does.

The following day. Friday, the in-
fested areas of Essex and Kent conn—
ties, Ontario, Canada, were visited
and close inspection made of three
ﬁelds. Many had expressed sur-
prise over the fact that the infesta-
tion in Ohio and Michigan at some
places runs as high as 75 per cent.

- but in Canada ~they saw ﬁelds of
from ﬁve to ten acres where the
stalk infestation was 100 per cent
and 95 to 100 per cent of the ears
infested. There the borers aver-
aged from 14 to 45 in a stalk.

It is only natural that the acreage
devoted to corn is being rapidly re-
duced in Canada, and in its ’place
sugar beets, wheat, alfalfa, tobacco
and grapes are being grown. The
Canadian farmer at present is ﬁnd-
ing that one acre of grapes pays as
well as three- acres of corn, but of
course they must look out that they
do not increase the grape acreage
to such an extent that the produc-
tion over-balances the consumption.

At the experiment station at Chat-
ham further study was made of the
parasites,

Saturday Meeting

At the opening of themeeting Sat-
urday morning the report of the
committee was read, followed by Dr.

partment of Agriculture research

Also the expert has sent to this coun-
try 10 different parasites that feed
on. the borer. .So far they have
found ﬁve of them will live in this
country, but “there are only two
speCies being used in this section.
Work along this line is being pushed
vigorously but the parasites do not
propagate rapidly enough to be con-
sidered a serious means of control-
ling the spread of the pest, for
several years at least. v

It was pointed out that there are
ﬁve times the number of borers in
this country that there was ‘one year
ago. Moths can ﬂy at least 20 miles,
he said. .

H. L. Worthley, national adminis-
trator of the corn borer control,
stated that during the last year they
discovered the borer in 111 new
townships in New York, 100 town-
ships in Pennsylvania, 147 in Ohio,
49 in Michigan and 37 in Indiana.
The inspectors maintained on the
main highways in these states during
the green corn season took over 11,—
000 dozen ears from cars this year.

Estimates of cost per acre and per
territory of a plan to maintain a safe,
practical clean-up of borer infested
territories; or to affect a thorough
check of the insect's spread west-
ward, were taken up by Prof. C. 0.
Reed, of the agricultural engineering
department of the University of Ohio.
Following this there” was a general
discussion.

General Discussion

The clean-up plan included the
burning of stalks not fed, at the end
of each season, and one man made
the suggestion that instead of burn-
ing the stalks they could be put
through a special process to kill the
borer and then made into fertilizer,
by using a fermentation process they
could be made into very proﬁtable
feed. Another’ suggested that ex-
perts be placed by the government in

countries where the corn borer has
made it impossible to continue corn
growing to study what crops they
have turned to. Many of these coun-
tries have soils and climatic condi-
tions similar to our own.

That all of the corn belt states be
invited to contribute funds to ﬁght
the spread of the borer was suggest—
ed by Dr. G. I. Christie, of Purdue
University, Indiana. In his estima-
tion they should be just as much in-
terested in this ﬁght now as later,
when the borer has invaded their
respective states. He also stated his
belief that we should have more fav-
orable laws regarding the enforce-
ment of the quarantine.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Dunlap then assured the delegates
that if more federal funds were
needed than has been planned that
he believed Congress would act fav-
orably on their request, but they
must determine in the immediate
future just how much they want.

A resolution was then offered that
a public relations committee be ap-
pointed and Dean C. F. Curtis, of
Iowa State College, chairman of the
meeting, was instructed to appoint
this committee. He chose G. I.
Christie of Indiana, C. V. Trans of
Ohio, L. E. Call of Kansas, C. B.
Woodbury of the American Canners
Ass'n of Washington, D. 0., Arthur
Gibson of Ontario, Canada, Sam
Thompson of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, and L. J. Taber
of the National Grange, and L. H.
Worthley who is in charge of the
corn borer control work. Dean
Curtis is ex—oﬁicio chairman of this
committee, and they are to take up
with the law bodies, state and na-
tional, the matter of ﬁnances. They
will also work for more favorable
laws.

C. 0. "Reed 1,710,294 acres of in-
fested corn in Western New York,
Pennsylvania, northern Ohio, and
Michigan would be especially covered
for the borer. The acreage would
be divided up, 193,413 acres in New
York, 146,379 acres in Pennsylvania,
876,150 acres in Ohio, and 494,352
acres in Michigan, with special work
being carried on in the badly infested
areas of Michigan and Ohio. The
plan included that a check belt 50
miles Wide maintained near and pos-
sibly parallel to the western bound-
ary of infestation in Ohio, Michigan
and Indiana. Prof Reed stated that
the plan was laid out on the basis
that 40 per cent of the farmers
would be both willing and able to
make a proper clean up, and the state
and federal authorities, working un-
der 2. single dictator, would have to
do the work for the other 60 per
cent. _

Each county in the infested area
would have one dictator or super-
visor, probably one ﬁeld foreman or
inspector for each two townships,
ﬁeld operators, ﬁeld laborers in sea-
son, and sufﬁcient equipment accord-

‘ ing to the normal acreage.

Nine different methods to be fol—
lowed in the ﬁght against the borer
with the 60 per cent, where the au-
thorites would have to do a part or
all of the work, were discussed by
Prof. Reed, and he also described the
machinery that would be required.
The special machinery was a "corn
harvester combine”, stubble pluver-
izer or heater, low cutting corn
binder, and a machine burner to burn
over the ﬁelds. Tractors would be
used to haul these machines.

Costs were taken up, based on
those of Seneca county, Ohio, where
a similar plan of control has been in
operation. In his estimation the
ﬁrst cos. of equipment in the check
belt of 674,654 acres would be $1,-
740,608, and the operating cost
slightly over $450,000 a year. In
Seneca county the ﬁrst cost or in-
vestment in equipment averaged
$2.58 per acre with an operating ex-
pense of 7 1,4, cents per year for three
years, and it is considered that this
is fairly representative of the entire
area taken up in the plan.

State Regulations

To make any plan of operation a
complete success farmers must coop-
erate fully by observing the methods
of suppression suggested by the all-
thoritieo. It has been admitted that
we cannot eradicate the borer entire-
ly, but by all working together we
can prevent it from spreading rap-
idly. We lnust do it if we wish to
save America’s corn crop.

Many fail to feel alarmed about it
and some even say that the European
corn borer has been with us for years
and has never done much damage.
This is not true. There are ﬁve
other worms working in corn that
resemble the European corn borer
very closely, in fact it takes an ex—
pert to tell them apart from appear—
ance alone, but their work is entirely
different. Farmers living in the in-
fested areas Will testify to that.

Not only are the farmers of On—
tario, Canada, ﬁnding it necessary to
cut their corn acreage and plant
other crops but they have found
their land decreasing in value be—
cause of this pest. Ontario land has
declined $25 per acre since the in,
vasion of the corn borer. Have we
any reason to believe that our Mich"-
igan lang will not drop in value once
the borer invades the entire corn
growing sections of the state?

culture has issued regulations gov-
erning the suppression of‘the 
borer in this state and we are pub-

Michigan’s Exposition Draws Criticism as Wellas Praise from Pioneer

HE editor asked my impressions
of the State Fair. I was pres—
ent on Thursday and Friday

and looked over most of the exhibits
and saw the races and the horse
show Friday afternoon.

I found a good show of live stock
in nearly all breeds and classes. In
cattle the quality was excellent. Beef
breeds were much better represented
than last year.

Herefordclass was not as large as
it should be in Michigan which has
now so many good herds. The Angus.
much less in numbers in the state,
exceeded the Herefords at the Fair.
Milking Shorthorns made a ﬁne
showing and are evidently ﬁnding a
place among cattle breeds. I not-
iced some of the ﬁnest Ayrshires I
have ever seen. The state institu-
tions showed some high class Hol-
steins. .'

The horse department had a ﬁne
show of draft horses, a majority
owned in Michigan which is grati-
fying. Apparently light harness
horses are ‘not being bred in this
state. The standard bred class had
but one exhibition. There should
have been a much larger show of
draft teams.

The sheep and swine departments
were both well ﬁlled and the qualtity
was high. Several breeders of sheep
from other states: but Michigan
breeders were out in force. An in-
novation in the sheep department
was the wool exhibit. I think this

' a useful exhibit and could be greatly
elaborated by description of the
class of goods made from the wool
of the diﬂerent breeds, or better yet
an exhibit ofwoolen goods shown in

I connection with the ﬂeeces.

I did not see the evening horse
show and therefore cannot speak of
its quality. The section shown in
front of the grand stand Friday was
very light but of good quality. With
the great interest in horseback rid-
ing and its number of riding clubs
there should be no trouble in hold—
ing excellent horse shows at the fair.
= The races on Friday were well

He has attended nearly every fair held since 1854,

It was the facts

contested and good time made but
the ﬁelds were small. They were
handled in ﬁne shape by the veteran
starter, Frank Walker. .

The attractions in front of the
grand stand were of the usual va—
riety and kind and no doubt inter-
esting to spectators but I would
raise the question whether something
more in,1ine with an agricultural
fair could not be put on that would
interest the grand stand quite as
much and cost far lees.

Missed Pulling Contest

I missed the horse pulling contest
which has proven a great feature at
several of the county fairs. It was
a mistake to omit it. I would sug-
gest some country games of barn-
yard golf, and even‘ recognize the
Izaac Walton league by demonstra-
tion of ﬂy casting as I see some fairs
notice.

The new agricultural building add—
ed additional interest to the Fair as
an indication of more interest in
farm products. It is a magniﬁcent
building and a great addition to the
plant. It gave space for the state
department of agriculture and the
state college both of which have'
much of interest to show to visitors.
The Upper Peninsular made a ﬁne
exhibit of its products—4minera1 and
agricultural—space was given to the
farmers organizations, the Farm Bu-
reau and the Grange having head-
quarters there. Also the farm papers
of the state. I should like to have

these farm organizations make ex-
hibits of farm products, the differ-
ent counties showing typicalgspeci-
mens of their leading products.
The farm crop and horticultural
departments were housed in the new
building and were a disappointment.
The fruit show leaving out the two
county collections was small and the
vegetable show was light indeed.

. Mr. Peterson, manager of the ﬂow?

er department had a ﬁne show of
ﬂowers.

The art department was almost a
farce. It should be abandoned or
restored to its former importance

at the state fair. The Michigan build“

ing was given over to the women’s
department and made very satisfact—
ory quarters.

Boys and Girls Taken Care Of

The Boys and Girls Clubs were
well cared for and the various di—

visions had good exhibits. 'Here is
a great opportunity in developing
the interest in farm life. The boys

fair school continues to be a useful
feature.

The show of farm implements was
not large but the most important
of modern machines and implements
for farm ,use were in evidence.

Henry Ford’s transportation ex-
hibit was very interesting as were
all the new designs of automobiles,
farm trucks and other lines of motor
vehicles.

The poultry show was not as good

as Michigan deserves. I do not mean
to say that it was a failure but was
not equal to represent the large
poultry interest of the state. It was
well arranged by the superintendent
and I admired the‘ new pens for the
exhibit of production ﬂock. The best
I have ever seen. Outside of White
.Leghorns the pen shows of the lead-
ing breeds were light. ‘

The State Conservation Depart-
ment has the credit of the ﬁne show
which I hope may be continued in
the future.

I am lothe to criticize the Fair as
I am aware that the board of man-
agers made an effort to have the
best possible but I, was not impress-
ed with the‘ lunch and dining places.
I may not have found. the best but I
passed a number of rather sloppy
lunch stands before venturing to
stop and then did not fare very well.

Objects to Midway

In years past objections have been
made to the midway at the Fair. I
have never felt that the modern mid-
way had a place at an agricultural
fair and I hope that when the State
Fair was taken over by the» state the
midway would be left out. There
may be a difference of opinion in
this matter but I know of two of the
great fairs of the country that have
abolished the midway to the satis-
faction of the public and the manage—
ment. ' . .

I must praise the good order main-

tained, evidently the police are ef-

ﬁcient or the people who attend the
fair are orderly.

I would suggest more music. I
missed the band in the grove in the
afternoon. I

I could mention

items which

-migh-t add to the interest and in-

struction of fair patrons which
would not indicate any criticism but
sugestions of added interest for in
these days we" must be looking for
new things to' keep people interested.
It won’t do to have people say “It’s
the same old fair that I saw las
year.” -

What Is the Future of the Poultry Industry of Michigan?

’ HE future of the poultry in~
dustry of Michigan is similar to
many of the other great indust-

rice for which our state is noted. It

is similar in the respect that its fu-

7 ture and success depend upon sever—
: al/ variables.
a which the poultry industry are has-

The variables upon

"ed, and. upon which its growth de-
pends are three in number and may
be classiﬁed as follow: proper selec-
tion, proper feeding and proper hous-
ing. Of course we are taking for
granted that our market will be

FRUIT JUIOES

We are contemplating the sale of
fruit juices such as, grape, cherry
and apple juice and wish to know
how to process it so that it will keep
without fermentation and can be sold
in bottles and jugs through the fall
and winter. It is our intentions to
heat the juice enough to preserve it,
add sugar as necessary and dilute
with water to proper tastes—R. 3.,
Berrien Centre, Michigan.

presume that this pertains
more particularly to the meth-
od of preserving than to the
legal requirements in connection
with the marketing of such drinks,
or to labeling requirements, and we
therefore hesitate to recommend any
particular procedure because of our
limited» experience in the practical
side of the manufactureing and pre-
serving of such commodities. Our
work, being of a regulatory nature,
deals almost exclusively with sani-
tation and the character of drinks
that are pl ed on the market for
consumption. ,.

There are a number of publica-
tions available dealing with the‘ques-
tlon of preservation of fruit juices
which can be obtained; we regret we
have no copies of these to send you,
but cite the following: Farmers’
Bulletin No. 1264, U. S. Department
of Agriculture; Bulletin No.
Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Depart-
ment Of Agriculture; Bulletin No.
118, Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.

Aside from the addition of per-
missable preservatives under the
food laws, which involve more or
less technique in control of the ﬁn-
ished product, the simplest method
of preserving fruit juices is by pas-
turization.

A simple process is as follows:

Sterilizé glass top jars or bottles
by boiling for ﬁfteen minutes. Fill
them with freshly made cider or
fruit juices and seal. Then place
them in a wash boiler, on a wooden
rack to keep them from touching
the bottom; cover the jars with cold
water and heat slowly to 17 5 degrees
Fahrenheit. Keep pint bottles ’ at
this temperature for ﬁfteen minutes;
quart bottles for twenty minutes;
one-half gallon bottles for twenty-
ﬁve minutes. Allow them to cool in
the water bath and then store them
in a cool, dark place—W. C. Geag-
ley, State Analyst.

TAXABLE PERSONAL PROPERTY

Can you tell me just what is tax-
able in personal property? Must all
small tools he itemized and can the
owner set his own price on things
or is that up to the supervisor? In
this case, last year, the supervisor
set down his own estimate of cattle,
horses, machinery, even the worn out
cultivators and such, and spread the
tax on good and thick. After kick-
ing about it to the board of review
they lowered it some.—-—K. B., Wellsa
ton, Michigan.

LL your personal property is sub—
ject to assessment except the
householder’s exemption, and

household goods, also personal prop—
erty to the value of $200.00. The
assessment is made according to the
assessor’s appraisal, subject to re-
view by the board of review in cases
where it assessed too high—Legal
Editor.

PLANTING. WINDBREAK

I am engaged in raising onions,
but of late years windstorms in the
spring of the year nearly destroy the
whole crop. I am now planning on
planting trees for a hedge or wind-
break but would like to know how
far I should stay from my neigh-
bor’s field for some space and there—
fore be of some harm to him.—
R. N., Byron Center, Michigan. 7

v E ideal place, of course, to set
the windka would be on the
property line. Inasmuch as the

prevailing winds are from the west

a windbreak set north and.south

would do very little damage as to

shade. An east and west windbreak'
of course, would shade most of the
day. An evergreen windbreak would
notcastashadeoverﬁveortenfeet
the ﬁrst 20~years and at 40 years

it would cast a shade of perhaps 20

feet. This would be during the hot-

est part of the day.

The muck growers in Barry and
Van Buren counties are contemplat-
ing setting out windbreaks this com-
ing spring for the purpose of pro—
tecting their onion and other crops
which hare been subjected to wind
injury. All of the farmers who ex-
pect to cooperate are going to put
the windbreaks on the property lines
and also at intervals through the
onion ﬁelds. '

I [would suggest if you do not care
to place the windbreak on the prop-
erty line that you set it for about
ten feet from the line—R. F. Krood-
sma, Extension Forester: M. S. O.

The State Fair ,

just sixty days. Think of the roof
alone being built in such a brief
time. not to mention the rest of the

est one of its kind in the world.
“Surely a monument to Michigan
Agriculture" some one said. Yes.
perhaps it is a monument but that

Dead! Anyone ‘visiting the Fair

‘ would realize Michigan agriculture

was very much alive. and such a
building will be an inspiration to
Michigan agriculturists. In fact, all
the buildings on the ground are the
last word in their line, ~and any
farmer visiting the fair can be for-
given if, for once in his life he feels
a little too big for his hat!

A few booths were allowed in the
new Agricultural Building and here
it was the M. B. F. held forth.
Wonderful orchestra music ﬁlled the
vast hall and was seemingly hard to
locate. But who comes here? Why,
it is L. Whitney Watkins. There is
President Butterfield of the Michi-
gan State College, and that vener—
able old man is Mr. I. H. Butterﬁeld,
the father of Pres. Butterﬁeld. Mrs.
Dora Stockman is also present. They
have come to dedicate this building.
To the strains of “America” played
by the now visible orchestra, as
palms and ﬂowers are pushed aside,
and with ﬁtting remarks and cere-
mony, the great building was given
over to the farmers of Michigan.

* a” an
“The Impossible”

It would be almost liké achieving
the impossible to have a State Fair
that was entirely agricultural but
the Michigan State Fair comes as
near to it as any, and if manufactur-
ers for other industrial lines want to
take advantage of a State Fair crowd
to show their products, why not let
them? But you will notice the State
Fair buildings are occupied only by
those of interest to farmers. I some-
times~ think I would broaden out
the annual affair, and call it the
“Michigan State Agricultural and In”
dustriafl Exposition.” Located in De-
troit, the. most talked of industrial
city of the world, it could and would
develop into an enterprise of vast
importance, and yet not detract from
the agricultural standpoint.

. Couldn’t Help But Wonder
A farmer visiting Detroit is im-

i pressed by the fact that-real estate

dealers are a very numerous and

' progressive bunch, and even if his
; farm be a hundred miles from the

famous City Hall (Detroit's center),
he will wonder how long it will be
before some realtor' will be giving
him a fancy price for it and plot it

into city lots. advertising else-x
tricity, sewers and hourly bus serv-
ice- The road we traveled was prob-
abiy similar to at! others lending 'in-
to "the city and the ﬁrst term home
was twenty miles out» 'Eiidently,
from there in, the farms have ’all
been bought and most of them plot-
ted, comm set out, a few ce-
ment walks constructed. Many-signs, '
telling otthe wonderful opportunity
“this section” offers, greet your eyes.
and at once one begins to speculate
in his mind, just how long it..will._be
before homes are‘built on all these
lots. Nearer the city, signs, ane'
nounce that “All the lots are sold."
It doesn’t. say how many of those

' purchasing the lots intend to build

on them. But from conversation
with some of these buyers, it would
seem that a large percentage have
bought, simply to hold for a higher
price. Many fortunes have been
made in Detroit real estate, and to

the writer it looks almost as if a

good thing had almost been ever-
done. a '

t I .

Pleasant Task

If picking large, yellow, red
checked peaches from trees one has
set out and cared for, is not about
the pleasantest task on the farm,
please tell me what is.

The writer has Just gathered ﬁve
bushels from three medium sized
trees, and, as many were just a little
hard, they are left for a day or two
longer. The wife says four or five
bushels are plenty to have to can at
one time any way, thank you, es-
pecially when the stove is in use
boiling grape jelly and tomato cut—
sup! We farmers talk of our rush
season, and how we have to jump
from one job to. another as the work
piles up, but I am here to announce
to the World the good farmer's wife
has her rush season too, and if
Broadscope Farm is as goodka bar-
ometer as I think it is, their rush
season is on! And they seem to like
it! Seemsthere is a. satisfaction in
carrying canned fruits and vegeta-
bles down cellar, and looking at
them as they shine from the shelves,
row upon row. And, what’s that?
“I’ll dry what I can't can.” Well,
all right, nothing nicer than dried
peaches made into a pie. Then too
it seems there is a satisfaction in
telling “how many quarts I have
canned and how many I had left over
from last year.” '

If I were a nursery agent, I think
I should try and call on every farm-
er in my territory this coming week.
Every farmer who has peach trees
Would want more, and those without
them would surely order some. .

“What’s the use setting out peach
trees? They'll all die and the money ‘
is thrown away," said one man to
me when I was planting the trees,
which I have just relieved of their
load of fruit.

Well, it must be admitted, many
trees do die, and in nine cases out
of ten it is because they were just
stuck in the ground and not given
any other attention.

Plant them where they may be
cutivated, and treat them something
like you would a pal, and in a. year
or two you will have to spend some
more money. Not for more trees, but
for more fruit jars and preserving
kettles! And the satisfaction if it
could be cashed in, would more than
pay for trees, cans, and all. To the
uninitiated I extend a call to try it.

' Herbert New.”

' has been “leave. ’em in sod.” Leav-
ing the trees in-sod will no doubt
increase the color of the fruit, but
in most cases it will do so ‘at the
expense of small crops, small fruit,
and irregular hearing.

The apple’s. magic rouge-pot is the
sun. The combination of bright sun—
shiny days and cool nights is an
ideal condition for the creation of
red color on apples. Sunlight how-
ever can do no good if it does not
reach the fruit. Trees which are
snaking a heavy late growth will
seldom bear well colored fruit be-
cause the growing foliage will shade
the fruit and prevent the sun from
getting in its work. Here are a few
colorful rules for colorless apple
growers. 1. Trees should be far
enough apart in the. orchard so they
will not shade each other. '2. The
tops of the trees should be kept
thinned by proper pruning, to al-
low the sun’s light to ﬁlter through
the tree. 3. Cultivation and fertil-
ization should be attended 'to early
in the season. Stop all cultivation
in. about midsummer so as to allow
the tree to ripen its wood and to pre-
vent a late growth of the foliage. In
a dry season cultivation can be pro—
longed a triﬂe while during a wet
season it is best to stop cultivation
earlier than common. If fertilizers
are used they should be applied very
early in the spring! and should be a
quickly available kind so that its ef—
fects will have disappeared by the
time cultivation is stopped.

It has often been noted that ap—
ples grown on light soils are apt to
color more readily than those grown
on dark loamy soils. The reason for
this is simple. The light soils dry
out during the summer and foliage
growth is stopped. The dark loamy
soils, being more retentive of moist-
ure, cause the foliage growth to con-
tinue later in the season, thus shad—
ing the fruit and causing poor color.

Cultivation should be stopped ear-
lier in orchards growing in heavy
soil than those growing in light soil.
The lighter types of soils are per—
haps more desirable from a. color
standpoint, because in these soils,
tree growth can be more easily
checked by stoppage of cultivation
and the sowing of a cover crop. In
years when rainfall is plentiful it is
sometimes a difﬁcult matter to check
the trees at the proper time in heavy
loamy 'soil.

CONCORD GRAPES ARE LATE

HE concord grape crop is ab-

\normally late this year. Grow-

ers are hoping for warm days

and freedom from early frost, so the

leaves 'can ripen the fruit and give

it the preper sugar content. Grapes

cannot ripen when the leaves are
,ikilled.

(Continued from Sept. 25th issue.)
PART SIX ,
The Showdown
0 say the boys were stupeﬂed .by
Mort’s statement would be putting it
mildly. They were paralyzed. Terry
recovered his poise ﬁrst.
. “For outright, downright meanness that
fellow takes the candied cake l" he ex-
claimed.

“Ought to've been shot long time ago."
agreed Mort, “and for one, I'm in for a
shootin’ party any time.” '

“Make bad matters worse," said Mr.
Muir.“ “We’ll have to ﬁght him legally.”

“Legally!” snorted Mort. “You can't
Win a case like that in a million years.
Possession in a case like this is a lead
.pipe cinch."

“Well, we can do without the land if
we have to. There is four hundred acres
in this place. That ought to be enough."

“But we lose the water right!” ex-
claimed Mort. “Without water you can’t
grow enough hay to feed an undersized
Jenn ."

“What’s to be done, then?" said Doug.

“We're going to thresh that grain first.
that’s what's going to be done,” declared
Terry. “Then we’ll see about the land."

“Separator’s all set ready to go." Mort
informed him.

“We’ll make her hum tomorrow," said
Doug. “That engine will pull anything."

With the exception of Kord every man
was on hand next morning.

Doug had the engine set. belt up and
ready to go before daylight. The Wild—
cat spun that little twenty-four inch cyl-
inder like a toy and more grain went
thru it that day than in any day perhaps
in its history.

Over six thousand bushels—that’s
threshing grain for a twenty-four inch
cylinder, if anybody should ask you.
They ﬁnished next day at two o’clock.
The grain tally told them they only lacked
seventeen bushels of having a round ten
thousand bushels.

“That’s done,” said Terry. with‘ a sigh

of relief. Doug ran out and threw off
the belt.

“And there she sets until next year,”
he said.

At the late dinner Mary Seemed to
burst with news of importance.

“How long,” she asked, “will a. sign
like Kord put on that land hold it?”

“Sixty days,” replied Mort.

“Then it expired yesterday,” she re-.
plied. “I went up there this morning
and read it.”

“Then we’ll put up one of our own,”
said Terry, “and if Kord ever steps on
it again I'll shoot him dead as a door
nail sure as he is a red—headed hound.”

“Look here l” Mary spread the local
paper on the table. “Here is some land
opened for entry in the White River Na-.
tional forest.”

“Let me see that,” said Mort, and read
the location. “That’s it, boys; you’d bet—
ter get to town and ‘ﬁle. If Kord has
seen the paper, and he's probably been
looking for this notice, he’s on his way
now.”

As Terry and Doug prepared to mount,
Mr. Muir came out and handed Terry a
thin envelope.

“Notice from the bank," he said, “that
payment on the place is due tomorrow.”

/

Terry caught his breath as he took it.
remembering Anderson's warning the day
they arrived. “

“See if you can put it off a few weeks."
said Mr. Muir, “until we can dispose of
the grain. Here’s a statement that gives
you power of attorney for me.” ’

"‘Do theabest I can.” said Terry, and

read the notice. {‘Must be met.” was writ-

ten. across the bottom.

As they approached Kord's ranch. a "

rider came out and sped down the trail
at a dead run.

“That's Kord," exclaimed Doug. “He's
seen that notice, too. Let’s go !" ‘

“Take it easy,” cautioned Terry. “It's
a long thirty-ﬁve miles to town. We'll

trail him until we get within a mile or so
of town; then we’ll see who has the fast-
est horse."

So they trailed Kord all the way over.
Just before entering town, there was a
mile or two of level road. When they
reached it, Terry said; "Let's go I” and
sunk his spurs.

Blutch had been resting for several
days and was fresh. He snorted and
stretched out to run. Behind pounded
Doug.

Kord saw them coming and began ply-
ing both quirt and spur. But they drew
up and passed him easily, continuing on
to the courthouse, where they learned
that the oﬂice was closed until eight
o’clock the next day. '

“It's supper-time," announced Doug.
“Let's get something to eat and a bed.
We’ll be ﬁrst in the morning if we have
to tie that feller up.”

After a meal at the town" eating house.
they secured a room. at the hotel and
were preparing for bed when they heard
steps ascending the stairs.

Doug threw the door wide in response
to a. knock, and a. heavy set, heavily
moustached man stepped inside. On his
breast shone a star. Behind him followed
Kord. '

“This them?" asked the ofﬁcer.

“It’s them," said Kord.

“You’re under arrest,” said the oiﬁcer.

."What for?" demanded Doug, belig-
erently, seeing the plot in a. moment.

“Killing big game without license."

“How do you know we haven’t a li-
cense?” asked Terry.

“ he records would show it if you had
any."

“I suppose this low-down dog furnishes
the evidence?” Doug’s voice vibrated with
anger and his ﬁnger shock as he pointed
to Kord. 4

“Nobody else. Come along.
two blocks down.”

“You can't put us in jail!” said Terry.
aghast.

“Can’t huh? I .put a. whole lot bigger
and a. whole lot better men than you in
jail, kid." V.

“Take us before the judge !” demanded
Doug. “We can pay the ﬁne.”

“Judge’s in bed. He don't get up till

’ nine o’clock in the morning. You can see

him then. Come ahead.” The ofﬁcer
took an arm of each and propelled them
toward the door. ,
The ’boys didn't recover their faculties
until a barred door clanged behind them.
“Now what do you think of this !” Terry
spoke wildly. ,; ‘

church. Mr.
is a trustee. One day a

week he worships here. Seven
days a week he protects the brothel
keepers and gamblers." These words
with the picture of a popular church,
appeared in a yesterday’s city daily.
The trustee has for ‘long been a
prominent churchmen and professed
believer in Jesus Christ. Is he in
Christ Jesus and therefore uncou-
demned? '

The Christian world has been
shocked by an excessive and corrupt-
ing use of money in Pennsylvania’s
recent primary elections. Disting—
uished churchmen were directer in-
volved. Will these -men go uncon—
demned? But suppose they continue
going to church, as they will do, and
avail themselves of church sacra-
ments; will that help any? Will it
give them standing with Christ?
Here one hears the condemnatory
words of the prophets on the unso-
cial leaders of Judah, and the same
“who come and stand before me in

‘.‘ HISis the

 

 

name, and say, We are delivered
that we may do all these abomina-
tions." “When ye spread forth
your hands I will hide mine eyes
from you; yea, when ye make many
prayers I will not hear." The old

prophets are pleading for a moral
awakening; for the presence of God

in the affairs of the state. This was
plain righteousness then. Is it yet?
What we want to know is, Is right—

eousness something/real and positive,

or something solely imputed? Does
it minimize or maximize good_ works?
Is it a state of essential goodness and
imparted from'within, or just imput-
ed from without?

"Who walk not after the ﬂesh.”
These‘words are left out of later re-
visions, but we shall leave them
stand as in the old version. These,
with verse two, ﬁll up the meaning
of the “in Christ Jesus" of our text.
They make plain that justiﬁcation
is not conferred upon one without
certain moral essentials in oneis
character. Good works do injure
the theory of a gratuitous imputa-
tion, but they are essential in a
practical Christianity. This type of
faith is here described negatively in
"Who walk not after the ﬂesh.”

In the seventh chapter of Romans.

Paul reminds us of a law that im- .

perils life and puts one under bond-
age to sin. He speaks out of pers-
onal experience. He had found that
this law of sin was so overpowering
as to cheat him out of his highest
aspirations and to hold him captive
in a region of death.

This law has its social expression
everywhere. Canton, Ohio, may be
looked upon as a conspicuous in-
stance. The underworld of our cit—
ies is a realm where reigns the ﬂesh-
ly law of lust and greed.~ The dance
of life goes on until the victims fall
in shame and death. This walking
after the ﬂesh has a way of showing
itself in business which is yet run
on the basis of beat or get beat. It
breaks out in politics and govern-

.ment so as to corrupt some of the

most sacred traditions of American
democracy. All group and personal
expressions in evil but indicate the?
iron dominion under which all men
are struggling, a dominion which
promises fair and splendid things
but which slays in the end, Believers,
who live after the ﬂesh, are not un-
condemned, They presume too
much on the merit of love of Christ.

“But aft/er the spirit.” “But if
any man have not the spirit of Christ
he is none of his.” This is a way of
deliverance discovered by the apostle
Minself. A divine energy had‘enter-

ed' his life which had nulliﬁed the .

law of sin and freed; him from its
power of control and death. Until

had met Christ,“the_ on religion .' '

"Wretched man that I am who shall
deliver me out of the body of this
death?"

“It is the spirit that giveth life."
These words of Christ came to be so
true to Paul at all times and in all
circumstances that he lays down the
law, “For the law of the spirit of
life in Christ Jesus made me free
from the law of sin and death.” But
this is yet such a hard saying to
many of us that we violate the princ-
iple without any sensation of pain
or loss. A blind ﬁdelity to sacra-
m'ents and churcth correctness is
the opiate that is stupefying many.
In our chapter Paul argues, “If God
is for us, who is against us?" This
is obviously true. But it must be

” . mammoa‘é- , y . _
' Christ's teaching andof Paul’s other

 

     

in» the light '. of: the

statement that we 'haVe life “thru
his spirit that dwelleth in us.” God
cannot be for us if he is not in us.
No mere sacramental religion; no
mere getting hold of the horns of
the altar, will save. Christ’s right-
eousness is imparted unto us only
when it is inworked in us.

And it is inworked thru faith.
This is a mystical communion set up
that charges life with LIFE and spir-
it with SPIRIT. The inevitable end
of faith is, that the soul that is in
Christ shall triumphantly live. The
sap must be in the plant to grow
and develop it. This is a parable.
Christ in us releases life and power
that otherwise would be dead.

But this demands a growing and
progressive faith. Christianity knows
of no such thing as a static faith,
a back-pew religion. It gets folks
up in front where the altar ﬁres are
hottest. Christ cannot baptize you
with ﬁre until you get where it is.
Yes, this-will hurt some. The Christ-
ian life is npt without pain. But the
world hounded Christ day-by-day un-
til her sin—ﬁends nailed him to “The
old rugged Cross,” Christ in you will

   

<} it

give you growing pains. _~. But you
'cannot attain to perfection without
growth. This calls for continuous
faith and effort. "I press on if so be
that I may lay hold on that for
which also I was laid hold of by
Christ Jesus.”

So, our text deﬁnes the source
from which life is imparted ,rather
more than imputed. And this im-
partati‘on of life will lead us on in
the ways of practical morality and
social righteousness. This is to be
Christ Jesus and therefore uncon-
demned.

TAKE A SHORT COURSE

0NDAY, October 25th, has been set as the
opening date of short courses at Michigan
State College. The General Agricultural
courses, ﬁrst and second year, begin on that day
to continue through to March 4th. Most of the
courses begin on January 3rd.

Many of our readers are making plans to take
short course work this fall. Some of them will
take one of the sixteen—week courses beginning
this month, others will take shorter courses of
from one to ten weeks during the ﬁrst three
months of 1927, but regardless of which ones
they take they will proﬁt and return to the farm
a little better equipped to make their farming
operations pay than they were before.

The average young farmer who is unable to at-
tend the regular courses at M. S. C. cannot make
a better investment of his time and money, one
that will pay greater dividends, than taking these
short courses. There are several of them of in-
terest to any general farmer and one or more
can be taken up during the season, according to
the time and money he can spend. Then the
next year he can take others, and so on for sev-
eral years, until he has taken all he cares to.

To progress one must keep abreast of the
times, regardless of what his business may be.
Methods that were proﬁtable a few years ago
are entirely out of date today. Young men, take
advantage of such opportunities to progress.

 

FEDERAL BEAN GRADES

E understand many of the bean jobbers of
the state were somewhat surprised with
the U. S. standards of beans, made effective

September lst. In opposing the federal grades
idea last spring one of their arguments was that
they would not be able to buy from the farmer
and be certain of grading the beans properly,
also there was much concern apparently over the
cost to growers.

A study of the grades recently made public
reveals the fact that they are broader and more
lenient than the grades of the Michigan Bean
Jobbers Ass’n. The Association grades number
four, Choice Hand Picked, Prime Hand Picked,
Fancy Screened, and Choice Screened. Choice
Hand Picked, must be “bright, sound, dry, well
screened, and must not contain more than one
and one—half per cent 'of discolored or split beans
and not more than seven per cent of large or
medium beans.” Prime Hand Picked, must be
“fairly good average color of crop year, sound,
dry, well screened, and must not contain
more than 3 per cent 'of discolored and split
beans and not more than 10 per cent of large or
medium beans." Fancy screened is deﬁned as
“bright, scund, dry, well screened, and must not
contain more than 3 per cent discolored beans,
splits or foreign substances ’and not more than
10 per cent of medium beans." Choice Screen-
ed, must be of fairly“ good average color of crop
year, dry, well screened, not containing mere
than 5 per cent of discolored beans, splits or

foreign substances and not over 10. per cent of-

medium beans. H

“Sample Grade” and is for beans which do not ,.

meet'the requirements for any ‘of the numerical
grades or “which contain» over 1‘? per cent moist-<-
ure, or have any commercial objectionable Vader.
or are heating, or we'evily, or otherwise of dis-
tinctly low quality." . -
The term “hand picked" which ,has caused so
much contention i not mentioned in the federal
grades you will notice. Jobbers have laid much
stress on “hand picked” beans, declaring that
this grade is accepted by the trade as the best,
and with the adoption of federal grades it would
be necessary to educate the trade regarding them.
If the Association’s grades were lived up to in
every way perhaps there would be no need for
federal grades, but it has been stated that many
cars are misrepresented, being shipped as choice
hand picked when they are only machine picked.
Buyers commence .to discount the “hand picked'f
feature once they know of such a deal. v
we fought for federal grades because we be
lieved in them, we believed that every bean grow-
er would be better satisﬁed to have a disinter-
ested party determine the quality of his beans,
which in turn helps determine the value, rather
than leave the whole matter in the hands of the
buyer, and we are'glad that they are now estab-
lished. But we doubt if they ever are used to

.any extent in the state unless the grower-3 de-

mand them, or they are made compulsory. Cer-
tainly the jobbers appear to take a biased view of
the matter, but one thing is sure, they will have
to ﬁgure out a new. argument as their old one
will no longer be of value.

FIGHT THE CORN, BORER

WE wish that our readers might have gone
through the corn growing section of Kent

and Essex counties of Ontario, Canada, with
us on the 24th of last month. Then they would
have fully realized what the‘European corn borer
will do once it gets well started.

The most heavily infested section of Michigan
averages less than two borers to the stalk, while
over in Canada they average from ten to forty-
ﬁve to the stalk and in many ﬁélds all of‘ the ears
are infested. Some ﬁelds were of no value what-
ever, the corn being so far gone that-there was
nothing of value left to even make silage. They
are turning to other crops which include grapes,
grain, tobacco and sugar beets, but that is not

Fomrs FIVE-DAY WEEK

FTER a trial covering a couple of months
Henry Ford has announced a 6-day week for
his factories. There will be no more work

in the Ford plants on Saturday and Sunday, but
workers are to receive the same ampunt of money
for the ﬁve days of work that they did for six,
full days, we understand. Discussing it he said,
‘fShorter heurs and higher pressure production
pays for the increased demand/ will bring im-
proved methods."

There is no doubt but Mr. Ford will proﬁt
from his decision, but we wonder if he considered
seriously the effect the announcement might have
on the general public. Naturally one of the ﬁrst
thoughts that came to the mind'of the average
worker in a factory where he was employed full
six days was, “I'll quit and try tol.get in at
Ford's,” or “Why can't our boss do that?"*That
is the beginning of a‘ dissatisﬁed feeling 'with his

‘present job, because all of us enjoy leisure and

we envy the other fellow his job if he has more
time to himself than we do. This dissatisfaction
spreads until there is general unrest, and event-
ually other factories may have to follow Mr.
Ford's example to keep labor contented. But
what about the farmer who averages at least
seven Or more eight-hour days each week at his
factory trying to make it pay? A ﬁve-day week,
eight hours a day, looks mighty good to him com-
pared to the hours put in on the farm, so he
could hardly be blamed for becoming discontented
and looking longingly cityward. . Young men are
hard to’ keep'on the farm under present condi-
tions, but with a universal five-day week we are
inclined to think that for a time some folks
would go hungry, 'but thoseywho remained on the
farm would reap their reward in prices that
would soar to heights never- reached before.

GOING onnzy ON THE FARM

ONE often hears a resident of the city remark,
“0h, I‘d go crazy if I had to live on a farm."

Many of them seem to think that the rate
of insanity among farm folks must be higher
than among people in other occupations. To

. these folks ﬁgures shoWlng the. result of a‘cen-

sus taken in 1923 by the Department of Com—

merce of the patients in hospitals for mental_

disease will be a surprise. The census revealed
that the number of insane per 100,000 popula-
tion was 78.8 in urban districts and only 41.1 in
rural districts. For males the rate in urban
districts was 89.6 against 46.4’in rural districts.
For females the rate Was 67.8 in the urban and
35.6 in the rural territory. We are all a little
crazy, they say, but facts indicate that farm folks
have a smaller chance of getting into an” asylum
than the city men and women; '

READY FOR TIIE PIOI‘URE
' AGENT
OUR papery saved me from being
victimized by an agent repre-
senting 'Bhe Chicago Portrait
Company. He said he was doing a
little advertising. Then he showed
me a picture of Mr. Bell and the
artist's little girl enlarged and in
colors, very beautiful pictures and
'he said their price was $30.00, but
he offered to let me draw a ticket
and it I got a lucky number I would
get the picture for one-fourth price.
Well, I remember reading about
such a scheme in The Business Fann-
ersowitboutsaylngawordlwcnt
and get the July‘sla issue and read
what it had to say about the Chicago
Portrait Company. well, he did not
argue but left very quickly. I told
him that everybody took The Busi-
ness Farmer between my place and
Beaverton and. he turned his car
around and went back the way he
came from.

He had his wife with him and I
wish to say that .she could tell lies
just as well as he could. she told a
neighbor that she was a very lucky
person when she drew the lucky
ticket for very few drew a lucky
one and she told that same story
wherever they went and the people
would try their luck.

you to tell you about a new kind at

Two men came out from Detroit
two weeks ago and bought about
$800 worth of chickens from ﬁve
farmers in Addison township, Oak-
land county, giving us all checks on
the Central Savings Bank of Detroit.
The checks all came back to us as
he had no money in the bank, and we

RETURNING MONEY IN
TEN YEARS
NE of the real estate selling
schemes we _heard of being
worked in Florida during the
“boom” was that of selling lots at
a certain ﬁgure with the selling
agents reserving the exclusive right
to resell the property at twice what
’was paid for it.‘ Also each buyer
received with his deed a certiﬁed col-
lateral trust note for the amount of
money he originally invested, re-
deemable in ten years if the property
was not sold. In addition/purchas-
ers were to keep the property. .
This sounded pretty good to a lot
of folks and they swallowed the bait,
hook. line and sinker, without fur-
ther investigation, while others were
skeptical and upon investing found
that the company never intended to
try to sell the lots the second time.
They put a percentage of the money
received in a bank, and this, with
compounded interest, at the end of
ten years, would equal the amount
of money originally invested. After
getting their money and making the
required deposit they had no further
interest in the property. It was up
to the buyer to do the worrying
thereafter.

THE HALLOWE’EN PARTY

OU ask, what is new for Hallow-
Y'e’en? Well, ever since last

October we have been on the
look-out for good ideas to help you
plan this Hallowe’en party and we
hope you will not be disappointed.

This night when the ghosts and
spirits are stealing around and ling—
ering at their old places, when mis-
chievous elves and gnomes are play-
ing their mysterious games on the
visible and invisible world. Hallow-
e’eu the oldest relic from pagan
times, who was the effector of these?
No one knows and no one can tell.

From tradition we know that hu-
man safety and protection on this
night is only obtained by burning
those marauding phantoms, and this,
in olden days, and in many places
today, is done by building bonﬁres.

Fuel for the bonﬁre was gathered
months before Hallowe’en. In the
old countries of Europe, wood was
carried to the highest hill or mount-
ain nearby, to frighten the spirits
away if they had not already ar-
rived, while if they had arrived at
the time of burning of the bonﬁre.
it meant destruction to them.

That the children were not safe
from an old rhyme from “Tales from
Scotland,” which translated from the
old Gaelic runs:

"Hallowe’en will come, will come;

Witchcraft will be set ageing;

Fairies will be at full speed,

Running free in every pass,

Avoid the noad, children, children."

What in the old days, was the
real belief, is today, a game with us.
To walk into the house backward
that n'o evil spirit could mark your
face, and many other little customs

frbm superstitious times are en-
tertaining games which are much
sought for.

Mystery is the kye—note of success
which may be carried out thru the
evening’s entertainment. The fol-
lowing verse will make an attractive
invitation printed on a square of
white cardboard, with a gummed
sticker of a spooky ghost, at the
center top. These stickers may be
purchased-at any art or department
store.

"The ghost will bid you welcome

At the hour of eight
Ring the bell three times

And don’t be late.

Come masked and if in witch-craft

You believe—

F‘un will await you on Hallowe'en eve.
Address.
Date.

The guests should be received at
the door by a grotesque ghost, who
holds out a kid glove ﬁlled with wet
sand or sawdust. The ghost never
utters a word, only opens the door
and the hostess does the welcoming.

Black and orange are the colors
long ago decided upon for this oc-
casion, and there are so many clever
and beautiful things designed by the
paper manufacturers that the deg-
orations for both rooms and table
Never
overldok the branches of autumn’s
leaves, corn; stalks, and real pump-

kins when it is possible to provide

them. . This is' one occasion when we
have it all over our city: friends, or it
is seldomconvenient for them to ob-

   

 

 

If you are fortunate enough to
posess an archway or double door.
get two rolls of crepe paper with
suitable design, using for portieres.
Then borrow or sew a ball of black
carpet rags and make a big spider
web over one side of the door, and
suspend a large black paper spider
on a thread. You" will want many
black cats, owls, witches and bats
but if you get a few of each for a
pattern and buy the sheets of black
card board you can soon cut out as
many as you wish. This is a splen-
did chance to develop your original-
ity; put up the streamers of yellow
paper wherever they will look best.
A few black cats and autumn leaves
may be pinned on the streamers.

The presiding spirit at a Hallow-
e’en revel is the witch. The cus-
tumes may be made of paper camb-
ric or of crepe paper, using an ordin-
ary underslip for the foundation of
the paper gown, without spoiling it
in the least. After the party is over
simply rip the paper rufﬂes off. Of
course the ghost plays an important
part, also, as well as the gypsy so
make your costume as wierd as pos-
sible.

Table Decorations and Favors

Use orange and black table run-
ners, alternating, and laid over a
white cloth or paper cover. A ruf-
ﬂe of the two papers may be car-
ried around the edge, and held at
intervals with rosettes of the same,
At each place may be a witch light,
the candlestick made of black paper,
and the candle of a thick stick of
candy wrapped in parafﬁn paper with
an orange paper ﬂame. A bow of
orange ribbon may tie the place card
and a “fortune” to the handle of the
candlestick.

There are many other Hallowe’en
charms on sale at this season, which
may be used, or again you may use
your ingenuity, and fashion your
own cups or boxes from the crepe

' paper, in which to serve candy, nuts
’ or olives.

Entertainment

The "Trouble Pot" may be distri-
buted out in the yard if so desired
or in the house. Have a pot hanging
from three stakes with something
to suggest ﬁre underneath it. Have
the pot full of little packages, and
let a witch stir them around with a
long stake. Let each one of the party
come and pick their one package
from the pot of trouble and let the
witch keep on stirring troubles un-
til the last package is gone. This is
supposed to dispose of trouble for
the next year. ~

If one does not hide the “fort-
unes” in the favors placed for each
guest at the table as we earlier sug-
gested, the following idea. may be
helpful. A hostess who is well ac-
quainted with her guests can ‘make
up all kinds of funny prophecies, hit-
ting good-naturedly at little fads and
fancies“ It is not necessary they
should rhyme, but to assist her here
are a few brief lines which can be
used: 7 ,

You’ll travel fast and far in a hand-
some motor car,

And some day in the movie world
you'll feature as a star. -

For fame and fortune you’ll have to

Don't lose courage,

Light footed, light hearted and light

You will likely come before the pub—
lic frequently, and will be a
leader; ,

Most likely in leaving a street car or
crowded building.

You are of irritable disposition, and
will do considerable stewing
Over tough meat.

You have a very pleasing manner
with you and can brighten things
up wonderfully for your friends——
especially silverware, providing you
have a good kind of polish.

You’ll love someone of the right
sort, although in stature will be
small, but, “Better to have loved a
short than not to have loved a tall!"

Good’ luck will follow you through
your life,

And you will make a true and happy
wile-

Here is one way these may be
used, but if there are more guests
the hostess will have to grind out a
few more. The fortunes are each to
be put in a small orange colored en-
velope, sealed and marked with a
number from one up in black. Hang
these with orange twine around the
room. Need not hide them. Out as
many small sticks as there are en—
velopes, about the size of lead pen-
cils. Sharpen one end, slightly split
the other and insert a cat, hat or
owl cut-out, and on this mark in
white color numbers matching those
on the envelopes. Have a pan of
sand and in this set the sticks. The
future seekers take hands and circle
around the pan and when a whistle
is blown stop and each take the stick
that is nearest, then all must hunt
up matching envelopes and fortunes.

Even the old eat my be called
upon to furnish her part of the en-
tertainment. Cut four pieces of paper
three inches square. On each piece
write the name of a good friend. 'l‘ie
each piece of paper around the paws
of a cat and let the cat go free. The
cat will start to dance and the piece
of paper that stays on the longest
will be the truest friend. '

There are always various games
which are favorites in different com-
munities which help to make a happy
time,for all.

Menus and recipes for the Hallow-
e’en refreshments will be found in
the regular recipe column.

Street Oonrtesies (Oontinued).—9.
Ladies do ,not chew gun, and gentlemen
in the company of ladies do not smoke.
‘ ' 10. One need not let his manner to-
ward young women in the street adver-
tise the fact that, she is his dance. The
‘ presumption is that the engagement has
been announced to all entitled to know
or it, and blazoning the fact by a prop-
rietary manner or an ostentatious show
of aﬂeetion is very vulgar. '

11. A man's arm is mustered into the
service of courtesy in the street only
when it is very necessary; and that, as a
rule, is when “the going is had". A man
would naturally offer his arm to help a
young girl convalescent ascend a ﬂight of
steps; but might not do so otherwise.
‘Older people of either sex, it feeble, should
always be oﬂered a masculine arm.
though care should be taken not to of-
end; the offer should be made in a tact;-
tul’ manner. Daytime procedure may
vary. but at night a gentleman invariably
ottershisarmtotheladyinhiscom-
pany.

.12. The slang phrase advising those
who speak too loudly in public “to hire
e. hall" is the outcome of the instinctive
popular feeling that the street is a public
place. and that no public place is the
proper place to ’advertise one’s individual
personality. A quiet voice. unaffected
mannerisms and the omission of proper
names are indispensible to proper street
conversation . .

13. It a woman, through ignorance, is
guilty of some little breach of street
etiquette, a man's rudeness in correct-
ing her is a thousand times worse than
her ottense. ‘

14. A simple “Thank you". leavened
with a smile, is a sumcient acknowledg-
ment on the part of a woman for any
little thoroughtare courtesy.

15. Always omer to escort a woman
who seems at a loss, or a blin dman,
across the street. Tipping the hat and
ottering the arm with a “Permit me" or
"May I’ Madam" will sufﬁce to show your
intention.

16. No woman speaking with two men
in the street (or elsewhere, for that mat-
ter) should ask one to visit her and omit
asking the other. To do so is unpardon-
ably rude.

A JOKE CONTEST

EAR girls and boys: Do you

know-cl anyone Who does not

enjoy a good laugh?
I would like to hear about that per-
son. I never knew or/heard of any
one, old or young, who «lid not, ex-
cept one. That exception. was a. man
who made his livingby not laughing.
That sounds odd but-it is true. He
was a real attraction, and large
stdres paid him lot's of money to
come to their stores for several days
at a time. Then they would publish
advertisements in the papers telling
about him and his reward of ‘fone
thousand dollars to anyone who
could make him laugh.” My, I would
hate to be like him, wouldn’t you?
I enjoy, a good laugh too well to

Our Boys and Girls

 

 

Dear Uncle Ned2—I would like to get
one of your buttons although I never
wrote before and would like to become
one of your nieces and hope the W. P. B.
is asleep and its mouth is shut. Well, I
will describe myself. I am ﬁve feet tall
and weigh 77 pounds. I am fourteen
years old and I passed the eighth grade
this year.

Now I will tell you of my trip to Lake
Huron. we live on a farm ten. miles
west of Lake Huron. We went to Port
Sanilac one night about seven o‘clock
and stayed for a week and while we were
there we went in swimming and ﬁshed
and cooked to pass the time away. There
were ten of us and we had a. merry time.
At night we had a tent to sleep in and
when we were going home we had two
flat tires.

Well, I believe this is all for this time.

Your want-to-be-niece.—-Irene Diem, R2,
Carsonville, Michigan.
-——Mr. W. P. B. often goes to sleep but
he never closes his mouth. Of course he
shores, like anyone who sleeps with their
mouth open.

Dear Uncle Nedz—May I join your
merry circle? This is the ﬁrst time I
have written so I will describe myself.
I am thirteen years of age and am about
ﬁve feet tall and weigh 93% pounds.
My hair is light brown, I have blue eyes,
and light complexion. I live on a 120
acre farm._ Do you live on a farm or in
a city? I have three sisters and one
brother. I hope Mr. Waste Basket is
asleep when this letter arrives.

For pets I have a dog and a cat. The
dog’s name is Fanny and the cat’s name
is Freddie, named after one of our friends
because it looks like him. I 'read the
Children’s Hour every time the paper
comes.

Next time I will write on our trip
through Northern Michigan and try to win
a pin. I must close now. Your want-to—
be niece—Mildred Irene Greenﬁeld, R4,
Box 65, Bellevue, Michigan.

-—Now be sure to write us about your
Northern Michigan trip soon. 1r live in
the city at present, but it is a. small'city.

 

Hello Dear Unclez—uls the story books ,

‘you think", cousins? . . ._ ' ~

I I hope every one will second Winnie
Clark’s metion that We have, a, Short story.
contest. for me, I'm 'all anticipation.
You see, I'm real anxious to win, one
of those pretty buttons. If Uncle Ned
should 'take the trouble,to look back in
his old ﬁles, he would probably ﬁnd my
name there some place. I “used to” be-
long to our happy circle. 1- Am I welcome
once more? ‘ ~ ,

(Uncle Ned, I must congratulate you and
my cousins on the progress our page has
made. It has gone from one improvement
'to another by leaps and bounds. I al-
ways read the letters from the boys and
girls, and watch for new contests. I like
to hear about the trips the cousins make
to “distant parts of .the state. They are
following the motto. "Know your own
country ﬁrst.” It is agood one, boys
and girls. We have more wonders in
_thls grahd old country of ours, than all
Europe. .

I am glad Uncle Ned.did not print a. ‘
new contest this week. It is rather. dif- ‘
ﬁcult to get settled down into the» cut
and dried,i'outine ofvschool after a sum-
mer crammed with good times. The first
week is always the longest for me. I
.am supposed to be a digniﬁed senior this
year, but my; it is almost impossible to
keep my face straight all the time and
act superior. I’m Irish with blackhair,
bobbed, and blue eyes, and I just feel
the laughs coming on. .

What do you say, cousins, let's ask our
wise and jolly Uncle Ned to print his pic-
ture. If he is young or doesn’t want us
to know what he looks like he can put on
some long white whiskers and his most
pleasing smile and we’ll try to be antis-
ﬂed, won’t we? . Come now, dear Uncle,
you'll do it won’t you?

I want Winnie Clark to write to nae.
We certainly _will_get along ﬁne. because
I’m a. book-worm. It’s a, pretty good
trait to own up to, though, don"t you
think? I liked her letter to the Children's
vI-Iour very much. Somehow it was dif-
ferent. '

When I graduate from Business College
and am secretary to one of the big
business men in Mount Clemens, I’ll come
and see you, *Uncle Ned. I know I’ll
like you if you’re anything like your let—
ters; and I hope you’ll return the com-
pliment.

Well, Ive talked about everything but
politics and I detest them, so I guess I’ll
sign off. My letter is real long but I
know it would choke that ravenous wolf,
Mr. Waste Basket, so please print it,
Uncle Ned. .

Here’s to all possible success for a.

merry circle and I hope many of the
cousins will write to me. I remain faith—
ful as long as Old Glory waves.—-Ma.rion
E. Weeks, Lowell, Michigan.
—4Glad to have you back again, Marion,
and I hope we hear from you more often
in the future than we have in the past.
Also I will expect you to drop in and
visit me-when you become secretary to
one of the big business men in Mt. Clem-
ens. How many years off is that?

Dear Uncle Neat—I have read the
Children’s Hour for three years and I
would like to join your circle. I are four-
teen years old, have light brown hair,
bobbed, gray eyes and a light complexion
and am in the seventh grade.

I live on a forty—acre farm. We have
three big horses, two colts, two cows and
a calf and for pets I‘have a. dog named
Duke and two cats. They are called
Blacky and ‘Whitey. ,I think I will have
to quit ‘and leave room for the other boys
and girls. I forgot to ask something.
Can I have one of the buttons «of the
Children's Hour because one of my friends
has a button so I would like to have one
too. I hope the children will write to
me,.‘too. Your cousin and friend—Helena.
B. Schults, Box 196, Richville. Michigan.
-—If you will write a nice long story for

us you may have a button.‘ How does
that suit you? '

'HGS TO  ONNEW ~(JOHN

 -  who have been holding
back their Spring pigs with the
idea of ﬁnishing them on new

them in November have been follow-
ing an expensive practice, according
to ﬁgures worked out by W. E. Car-
roll, chief of swine husbandry at the
College of Agriculture, University of
Illinois; According to his ﬁgures,

last ten that would show a proﬁt for
light—fed, late-marketed hogs. The
only time,that light feeding of pigs
on pasture is likely to pay is during
a year when summer corn» is very
high priced and there is a rather def-
inite assurance of much cheaper new
corn and not too much diﬁerence in
early and late markets for ﬁnished
’hogs.

“It is true that new corn in the
fall usually is cheaper than can
during the summer months. Last
year, for instance, the October-No-
vember price i corn was from 8 to
32 cents a bushels lower than the
monthly price frm April to Septem-
ber. Average ﬁgures for the past
ﬁve years Show that summer corn
was from one cent lower to six cents
higher with an average of about two
cents a. bushel higher than October-
November corn. On the other hand,
average hog prices during the past
ﬁve years have been from 56- cents
to $1.40 a hundred higher in Sept-
ember than in November, the aver-
age being 85 cents.

"Let us assume now that one
bunch of March pigs is to be full-fed
on pasture for the September mar-
ket and another will be carried along
more slowly on less daily feed and
ﬁnished on new corn for the Novem-
ber market. Under some conditions
the total concentrates required to
bring the two lots of pigs to market
weight may not be greatly different.
Usually, though, the lot carried on
the light ration will take somewhat
more total feed because the pigs are
maintained for a longer period. They
will always require more‘pasture.

“Light-fed March pigs usually will
weigh approximately 125 pounds by
the time the new corn is available.
The new corn which would be requir-
ed to bring them to market weight
of 225 pounds would, according to
the average ﬁgures cited,‘represent
an approximate saving of 14 cents
(seven bushels at two cents) over
the summer corn fed to the full-fed
pig for his last loo-pound gain. On
the other hand, the full-fed pig mar-
keted in September will, under the
ﬁve-year average ﬁgures, bring $1.91
more than his light-fed mate which
was ﬁnished on new corn and mar-
keted in November. Thus, by this
method of reasoning, waiting for
cheap corn is an expensive practice
to the extent of $1.77 a head."

BEET TOP SILAGE

UGAR—BEET growers in all parts

of the country have long been

feeding with success this valu-
able by-product, and beet top silage
has passed the experimental stage.
The problem, however, of making
the tops and crowns into silage is
still a matter of discussion. We have
sufﬁcient data to safely conclude
that the best and most economical
method is to make it into silage
when the beats are dug, because this
is the only way to keep it in the
best of condition over a period of
several months or years. '

A letter from Mr. W. J. Ccoutt of
Kearney, Neb., repotrs the sucCessful
feeding of beet top silage which was
carried over one year. He found the
silage in excellent condition when
two years old and obtained fully as
good results by feeding it as he did
the year old silage. .

The growing of sugar basis is still
an infant industry but it is making
rapid progress, and the best grower
is ﬁnding it advisable to utilize the
boot tops in order to obtain the
greatest proﬁt from his crop. The
objection to feeding beet tops direct~
ly from th eﬁeld is the problem of
fall and early winter. When made
into silage the crop is placed where
it can be utilized in the future and
rod out “in a (systematic way. The

peas and beans, and few canners
now attempt to carry on their busi-
ness without silos. ' ' ‘

The best grower has found from
experience that in order to grow the
largest and best crops he must have
a. libe suppb' of,barnyard manure.
and to reason he is inclined to
also re 9 livestock to furnish fertil-
izer and diversify his ﬁelds and
crops—A. L. Haecker.

REMEDY FOR IMPAOTED PAUNCII

EAR EDITORz—I saw 0. H. F.’s

inquiry regarding cow suffering

from impacted paunch. A year
ago we had this same experience
with one of ours and the same cow
had another attack this last winter.
We gave her about four or ﬁve
pounds of melted lard last year and
in a few hours followed with a quart
of salts and in less than twenty-four
hours she was eating again and was
soon all right. This last winter we
gave her two pounds of lard in the
late evening and followed with a.
pound of salts in the morning and
this dose worked equally as well.
The idea is that the melted lard
softens the impacted mass and rend-
ers it movable, then the salts carry
ltoff. I got this remedy from my
neighbor’s doctor book and it saved
the cow both times. I wish I could
have come to your assistance sooner
in time to save them both but am
writing so if you ever have another
such case you will know what to do.
Melt the lard slowly and have it in
a liquid form' but not hot enough
to burn—Wm. N. Lawrence, Eaton
County.

Salt should be given horses separately

from their feed, and they should be able .

to get it at all times.

 

If we must be prepared for those b‘tl"
ties with which we are threatened at
least let us be well feds—Cerventes.

 

Silage keeps up the milk ﬂow of dairy
cattle in winter and the time to prepare
for having silage is during early summer.

 

The young calf should be kept of! pas-
ture until about three months old. ﬁnd
dairy investigators. Fresh pasture and
a. milk diet will cause stomach disorders
in the young animal

There is a Difference
Between Good and Best'

Between good and best usually lies the difference
l between breaking even and making money.

  

Good chickens eat as much as the best ones; but
they don’t lay as many eggs. Good feed may
get good results, but it doesn’t make the eggs
that the best feed does. And egg production

determines proﬁts.

You know all this—we aren’t telling you any-
thing new or asking you to believe anything
unreasonable. ‘

But when we ask you to believe that Larro Egg
,Mash is the best feed of its kind, you naturally
want to be shown.

We can show you—show you enthusiastic letters
from users—show you how carefully we select
the ingredients we put into Larro—show you the
special equipment we have for mixing it._show
you why every sack of feed is exactly alike, but
-after all, the quickest and best way to prove our
statement that Larro is the best feed and that it
will make you more money than just good feed, is to

TRY IT:

Ask the hens. We’ll be satisﬁed with their

verdict and so will you.

.more economical producers. also~ "
has to do ‘with the cullm‘g. of

the laying birds during the ‘months
of July and August. If. the founda-
tion stock for the poultry ﬂocks are
not properly selected and the ﬂocks
scientiﬁcally culled it is a certainty
that the results will be unsatisfact-
ory, for no cull, no rmatter how good
her housing conditions, or how regu-
lar and well balanced her feeding
ration, will produce a proﬁt.

When we look at the poultry in-
dustry of Michigan from this angle,
it appears to be very evident that
the poultry judge is a very import—
ant factor in its welfare. It should
also be borne in mind that poultry
plays quitepa large part in our Mich-
igan agriculture. Ninety—two per
cent of the 196,000 farms in Michi-

' gan have farm poultry ﬂocks. Over

$20,000,000 is invested in poultry
and buildings. In 1920 the eggs
produced from this investment were
valued at $12,000,000. When these
ﬁgures confront us, and when we
also learn that the average Michigan
hen produces slightly over 60 eggs
per year when she should produce
twice that number, the value and
practicability of the poultry judge
is brought even more vividly to our
attention.

It seems in order to properly solve
the problem that there must be sev—
eral thousands of trained judges ov-
er our state and other states to
judge and cull the farm ﬂocks. The
idea may look absurd to the average
Michigan farmer, but thanks to the
foresight of some of our great ag-
rucultural leaders and teachers this
is exactly what is being done. Not
only are there thousands of boys be-
ing trained in the Agricultural Smith
Hughes High Schools in Michigan to
judge poultry and aid in building up
the poultry industry, but they are al-
so being taught to judge and grow
better stock and grain and to live
better lives. The poultry ﬂocks of
Michigan, are bound to be betterbe-
cause this state has more young
trained poultry judges than any
other state. Supervisor of Agricult-
ural Education, E. E. Gallup, an—
nounces that over 1,200 agricultural
students from the- Smith Hughes
High Schools met at the state con-
tests at M. S. C. to compete in the
State Judging Contests. These boys
came from nearly every community
in the state and can be relied upon
to judge and cull poultry. They are
also'taught the two. other variables
of proper feeding and proper hous—
ing. _

These young judges are taught to
judge mostly for production. They
must have excellent memories, the
ability to properly evaluate the va-
rious sections of the bird, the pa-
tience and care to examine all parts
of the birds, and the mental alert-
ness to make decisions, and be able
to back up their decisions with good
evidence and scientiﬁc reasons.

An entire book could be written
on Judging and Culling of the
poultry ﬂock, and all the information
given would prove valuable and in-
structive to the poultryman or to
the farmer.

In order to present to the farmer
of Michigan in a brief and concise
manner the more important and
practical points of judging and cull—
ing, I have asked Stephen iSlezak of
Owosso, State High man in the
poultry judging contests, also a
member of the winning team from
the Smith Hughes High Schools, to
write an article on this work. This
article will ,prove to be a source of
valuable information to the amateur
poultryman, "and will present train-
ing to the Michigan farmers and tax—
payers a sample of a part of the
training the boys are receiving in the
Agricultural High Schools of the
state. I am adding the article of
this boy judge as a conclusion to
my own article which reads as fol-
lows: ,

“The ﬁrst and one of the most im-
portant points in judging a high lay—
ing hen is the head. Hens like peo-
ple have diﬁerent types of heads.
They are classiﬁed into six different
types as follows: reﬁned, over re-
ﬁned, ,befy, masculine, crow head,
and the lacking-character-type. Each
type "has" certain characteristics
which-identify it in~«judgi-ng. ,yThe

ity. The nails should show signs of

considerable information on,-produc-
tion in the late summer Orpfall. The
hen has ten feathers in her primary
wing. Each time she goes broody
or takes a vacation she loses one of

these feathers beginning with the

index feather and going outward. As
these feathers grow rather slowly,
a glance at her wing will denote the
number of times she has. taken a va-
cation. A broody henis undesirable
and is marked down inﬂjudging.

position at all times.”

POULTRYMEN TO TRY MARKET-

OOPERATIVE marketing of eggs
' is'going to betried out in Mich-
igan, according to plans dis-
cussed at the annual convention Of
the Michigan "Poultry Improvement
Association at M. S. 0., September
17 and 18. Farmers in Hillsdale,
Jackson and Branch counties are the
ones ﬁrst intended to try out the
plan, but poultrymen all over the
state will be following the project
closely. Their present idea is to
workthrough a successful marketing
association in Ohio. " ﬂ ' %
That the poultry interests of Mich—
igan, long unorganized, are attain-
ing a group consciousness at last,
was evident on the 17th when the
members of the Association express-
ed in on uncertain .terms their dis-
pleasure at the inadequate facilities
for poultry research at the college.
. Dr. Butterﬁeld assured the, poul-
try men that the College will en-
deavor to meet their demands, but
pointed out that the decision really
lies with the Legislature, which con-
trols the purse strings.

Goodme are Paying Propositions
from,the.FIVe-Standpoints of ECON-
OMY, SERVICE, PROTECTION, APPEAR-
ANCE and GOOD CITIZENSHIP. \

‘ i. ECONOMY

A—A good fence is a permanent
fence; a permanent fence is a pag-
ing investment by: 1. Increasing t e
permanent and market value of the farm.
2. Helping to insure and increase credit
with the town's business men. 3. Sub-
stantiating the idea that the owner is
progressive and successful. .

B—Agood fence expresses thrift on
the part of the owner by: 1. Making
more mOney for him. 2. Saving time,
labor and expense Of- replacing poor

fences. 3. Lowering depreCiation. 4. Sav- ~

ing the eater cost of delayed fencing.
5. Stan ing up and looking better and
remaining stockproof for many years.
6. Eliminating possibilities for lawsuits
caused. by loose animals on highways
and neighbors’ premises.

C—Agood fence is a time-saver be-
cause: 1. N 0 time is wasted hunting for
lost farm animals. 2. Or notifying a
neighbor that his cattle are in your ﬁeld,
helping him chase them out, and repair-
ing fences. 3. Well-planned barnyard
fences keep the cows near home at night,
saving time in the morning.

2. SERVICE

A—A “horse-high, bull-strong and
pig-tight” fence is the best “hired
man” a farmer can have because:
1. It saves time and effort caring for the
livestock. 2. It is possible to properly

fertilizer evenly over the farm. 3. Live-
stock can utilize what might otherwise
be wasted feed in comfields and mea-

pigs need fresh lots so they may not

It gives the farm an air of
dignity, stability, beauty
and pride. 2. The ﬁelds and
livestock appear to better
advantage. 3. An ornamen-
tal lawn fence will “dress
up” the farm home and add
a welcome to visitors. 4.
Fences give an air Of distinc-
tion and individuality. 5.
An all-steel fence permits
burning of weeds along fence
lines so snow will not gather
and block the highways. 6.
A good fence is a credit to
both farm and highway. 7.
It keeps the yards cleaner as
straw, paper or cornstalks
cannot blow from place to
place. 8. Well-defined drive-
' ways and paths or walks
will prevent unsightly“short
cuts" across grassy lawns.

5. GOOD CITIZENSHIP

A—SAFETY FIRST. A
good fence: 1 . Keeps the vicious bullfrom
breaking out and injuring strangers and
children. 2. Prevents loose animals from
causing automobile accidents. 3. Keeps
loose animals off the railroad tracks. 4.
Around the lawn makes a safe play-
ground for little children.

B—HONESTY. 1. Afarmer is not honest
who deliberately allows his livestock to
feed on his neighbor’s haystacks and
grain ﬁelds. 2. Good fences do away with
disputes over ownership of stray stock.

C—COURTESY. Good fences: 1. Foster
respect for your property among the
neighbors and vice versa. 2. Prevents
quarrels and ill-feeling among neighbors.
3. Aided by “No Trespassing” signs,
keeps out the careless hunter.

Wports have improved, although re-
ports about the corn crop vary ac-,

cording to locality, more than .50
per cent of the crop being safe from
frost, it is reported. Illinois farmers
are making remarkable progress in
increasing the acreage of legume

gains, but the increase would be

greater if farmers could have scour;

much. doubt farmers will have plenty
of feed for all the mttle, hogs and
sheep they carry into the winter

be. considerable sort corn in late

frosts. Already early frosts have
caused much damage to. corn and

In the famous Berrien county,
Michigan, fruit region there IS a

splendid peach crop, and many of the -

trees are bending over with the
Weight of the delicious fruit, while
many young peach orchards are com—
ing into bearing. There is also an
enormous crop of purple grapes fast
ripening, and they are being mar—
keted, largely in Chicago. The pro—
duction of grapes in Michigan, as
well as in California and other
states, has increased wonderfully in
the last ten years, but not faster
than warranted by the demand.
Michigan farmers would like to get
higher prices for their new crop of
beans, and they are helping some
by eating baked pork and beans :1:
least once a week. Seventy—ﬁve per
cent of the white varieties of beans
grown in United States are raised in
Michigan, and its crop is over eight
million pounds. There is a good
Michigan sugar beet crop, and its
oats crop shows a good gain over

1325.
The Wheat Market
Much of the time this autumn
aim the winter wheat was harvest-

.ed the speculators have held back

and showed by their somewhat re-
striaed operations that they thought
that so long as the farmers kept on
hurrying their wheat to market the
bear side of the market had its at-
tractions. A short time it was shown
by ﬁgures compiled by the Daily
Trade Bulletin that the world’s
available supply of wheat increased
over $7,000,000 bushels in August,
comparing with a decrease of 4,694,-
000 bushels in the same month last
year, and at a recent date total
world stocks aggregated 48,000,000
bushels, in excess of 1925. Prices
are quickly responsive to reports or
crop damage, however, and there
have been times when reports from
the Canadian northwest of wet
weather causing further injury to
the new crop caused quick advancos.

: although at the same time farmers

of the three Canadian provinces were
reported to be delivering large
quantities of new wheat to interior
elevators. 0n the Whole, there has
been impr vement in the undertone
of the mar ~et, and while wheat still
sells at considerably lower prices
than a year ago, the dilference is

; 'much smaller than it was not long

short time ago aggregating “74,173,-
000 bushels, comparing with 44,822,—
000 bushels a "year ago. Farmers
are largely disposed to sell part of
their, wheat on rallies in prices, and
many of them regard late prices as
worth accepting. It should not be
forgotten that speculators are far

smaller traders than formerly, and

regulations by «the government have
tended to check their operations. vA
short time ago charges were made
that the Armour Grain Company had
attempted to manipulate the market

year, while December rye has gone
up to $1.02, comparing with 79 cents
a year ago.

Extremely large numbers of lambs
have reached western markets re-
cently, and the movement of sheep
and lambs for the year shows a big
gain over 1925, the increase in sup—
plies of Late being especially great.
The Chicago market has been get—
ting a very fair share of native
lambs, not many sheep, but extreme-
ly liberal supplies of range lambs
from Idaho, Washington, Montana
and Wyoming, and these lamb
mostly graded poorly,
ﬁnish making them suitable for feed-

ing rather than killing. Accordingly, ~

great numbers went back to feeding
districts, and, as usual, many feed-
er lambs sold bigher than the best
killers. There is an extremely wide
spread in lamb prices, with recent
sales at $9 to $13.85in the Chicago
market, the top price comparing with
$15.50 a year ago. Many farmch
desire to engage in the sheep busir
ness, and there is a large call for
breeding ewes at $7 to $13.35 per
100 pounds, including yearlimgs, but
nowhere near enough to go around
are to be had. Feeding lambs have
been selling for $12 to $13.75. The
wool market begins to show life at
last, and prices are well maintained.

The owners of rat cattle are get-

their poor\

hem have gone to market than in

recent years. Result can of year-

lmgs and light steers were at the
highest prices of the year. -
The Hg Scarcity

The hog scarcity is acute, the re-

ceipts in seven western” packing

‘points for the year to late date

amounting to Only 16,668,000 hogs,
comparing with 19,220,000 3. year
ago. Recent Chicago supplies were
much smaller than usual, and prices
underwent some good advances,
heavy hogs going sharply higher,
with the general average prices the
highest since last July.
cage receipts averaged only 259
pounds a year ago and 242 pounds
two years ago. Pigs and under-
weights showing the effect of too
much feeding of soft corn were a
drug in the, market. A year ago
hogs were selling at $10.80 to
$13.40; two years ago at $8.90 to
$11.15 and 26 year ago at $4.35 to
$5.27%. Late sales of hogs were at
$11 to $13.90, and the top was 30
cents high-er than a week earlier.
Further advances in good hogs are
expected.

.Wet weather has stepped into the
bean market and prices have taken
several jumps upward during the put
fortnight. _ Reports come to m that
many ﬁelds in Michigan are being
abandoned, the crop being too far
gone to hoof enough value, to pay
to harvest. Few got-their crop har—
vested hetero the heavy rains set in,
others get them up between show-
_ ers and some are now threshing and
hauling to market. Excessive moist-
ure in many of the new beans is ‘re-
ported. We need some good, dry
weather very badly right now.

POTATOES ,

Although the potato market is
not showing much activity indica—
tions are that prices are due to go
higher before long. Real good pota-
toes do not appear to be very plenti—
ful this fall and many are predicting
a very active future for this market.
