After the regular meeting, a com-
mittee of grape growers from Ber-

rien County met with a similar com-

mittee from Van Buren county and

agreed to ask the legislature for cer-
tain changes in the grape grading
laws. The changes agreed upon
were substantially as follows. In
the Fancy Table grade the use of
the words “well formed" instead of
the word “compact” was asked, as
was abo a deﬁnition of the words
“well formed" as follows: "Well
tea-med means that the bunches
must be well filled for the variety,
bat.does not mean that they must
be closely united, solid, or tight.”

Mr. Farley begins thinning imme-
diately after the June drop. He
likes to employ boys 14 to 16 years
ef age for this purpose because he
believes they are not as hesitant as
older men about taking oi! enough
fruit. All defective fruit is re-
moved, one fruit is left on a cluster,
and the apples are spaced about 4
inches apart. The thinning is done
by hand without shears, and care is
taken not to loosen the remaining
apple in the cluster. After a tree
has been properly thinned it may
look as though it has been thinned’
too much but results at harvest time
will prove that this was not the case.

and are inst as detrimental to this
crop as weeds in a corn ﬁeld are de-
trimental to the corn crop, said Mr.
Farley. Some of the beneﬁts of thin-
ning were given as, earlier ripening,
better flavor, better size, better
color, better quality, and better
price. Mr. Farley is a strong be-
liever in the growing 'of high quality
fruit and said, “I prefer to class
everything below the A grade as
culls." In response to a question as
to whether it pays to aim Baldwin
apples on old trees, the speaker
said, “If you can afford to spray a
tree and harvest the apples, you can
afford to thin."

“Trying is believing," said Mr.
Farley.

Mr. Raymond C. Hitchings of
Rochester, N. Y., is also a strong be-
liever in quality production and
thinning. Mr. Hitchings thins his
apples 7 inches apart and said, “The
only successful way to grow good
fruit is to properly thin it. No grow-
n has nerve enough to thin too

Balmy Weather Speeds Legislative Machinery

ByBl'ANLRYLLPOWHLL

081' of the legislative measures
of particular interest to farm-
ers made

serving the habits of Michigan law-
makers, I feel fairly safe in predict-
ing that the balmy days of Spring
which we have been enjoying will
speed up the legislative machinery.
Spring fever in the Legislature takes
the norm of increased activity so that
the members may complete their
legislative labors and return to their
homes.

Thus far during the session most
ef the important decisions have been
made in the committees, but from
now on an increasing number of
measures will be coming up for ﬁnal
action on the ﬂoor and some lively
debates are in prospect. However,
we couldn't ask for anything more,
either in the form of audience or
eloquent debates than was provided
when Rep. Armstrong’s capital pun-
ishment bill, proposing the death
penalty by the electric chair, came
up for ﬁnal vote in the House. I
thought the whole matter had been
pretty those-gth thrashed out in
the Senate Chamber the day previous
in the ' public hearing which
lasted all con and evening, but

fully who spoke and what they said,
he wouldn't have room for anything
else in this issue of the paper. The
measure has now been sent to the
Senate and referred to the Judiciary
committee where it is reported to be
in a somewhat unusual situation.
The majority of the Senate Judiciary
committee are known to be opposed
to the bill.

The most interesting issue loom-
ing up on the horizon is in regard to
what is to be done with the pro—
posed amendments to the gas and
weight tax laws. A big public hear-
ing was held last Thursday by the
Honse Roads and Bridges Commit—
tee at which all the various measures
dealing with this subject were dis—
cussed long and lustily. While con-
siderable diﬂerence of opinion was
manifested among those who testi-
fied, still all of them seemed to be
agreed that nothing should be done
to retard Michigan's road building
program andpractically all of them
voiced their aprpoval of an increased
gas tax if any change were to be
made from the present arrangement.
The representatives of the bus men,
the owners of the ﬂeets of heavy
freight trucks, highway commission-
ers and spokesmen for other inter-
ests were on the job. However, the
farmers were not urn-represented by
any means. A whole row of agri-
cultural leaders sat in front of the
audience and the agricultural view-
point was ably presented by two

hers—M. B. McPherson of .Low-
and Floyd Walworth of Corunna
who testiﬁed on behalf of the Mich-
igan State Farm Bureau. r
They declared that the Town and

much." According to this speaker
a great deal of the work of grading
can be done in a preliminary way by
thinning. Said he “The best place
for undergrads stat is on the
ground, under the tree at thinning
time.” Mr. Hitchings has his ap-
ples picked into padded picking bas-
kets and carefully emptied into ﬁeld
crates. The grading is all done by
hand, directly from these crates,
thus giving a minimum of dumping
and handling, and preventing much
bruising.

Mr. Hitchings also made a plea for
the regulation of roadside stands
and stated that the practice of a
few stands of selling poor stuff at
high prices is blackening the repu-
tation of all roadside stands.

Talks on “Spray Dape”

Prof. W. C. Dutton, Michigan’s
well known “spray dope” expert from
M. S. 0. spoke to a very attentive
audience on the subject of spray ma-
terials and times of application
The pear psylla was called out of
the worst fruit pests in the State.
For this insect the speaker recom-
mended a very thorough early dor-
mant spraying with oil emulsion, to
prevent the psylla from laying its
eggs. The spray material should be
a 3 per cent lubricating oil emulsion
made with heavy oil. If this spray
fails to completely control the psylla
then a summer follow~up with nico-
tine spray is necessary. As fungi-
cides for pears, bordeaux, dry mix,
or sulphur dust were given prefer-
ence over lime-sulphur solution.

For apple aphids Prof. Dutton
again recommended a delayed dor-
mant or “green tip” spray with
lime sulphur and nicotine sulphate,
and stated that regular yearly spray-
ing for this insect is a better prac-
tice than trying to hit the bad years.
The much discussed summer oils
were not recommended for Michigan.
They were said to cause foliage in-
jury and have not proved to be a
sure control for codling moth.

Dry lime—sulphur, when used
strong enough, was said to be
equally as effective as the regular
liquid lime-sulphur. Four pounds
of dry lime-sulphur were said to
equal one pound of liquid lime-sul-
phur.

To satisfy a strong demand --for
spray materials for apples that will
give satisfactory control of fungus,
give a good ﬁnish, and at the same
time avoid foliage injury, Prof. Dut-
ton made suggestions as follows;
use lime-sulphur solution for fungus
in the prepink, the pink and the
calyx sprays, and, thereafter use
either dry~mix, wettable sulphur, or
dust.

A number of resolutions were
adopted by the Society, among them
being one that legislation be passed
to stop the "bad-check" and “check-
stopping” evils, whereby unscrupu-
lous buyers have, during pas. years,
swindled many fruit growers out of
the proceeds for their fruit. An-
other resolution adopted was one
that the grape growers’ desire for
amendments in thir grading laws be
heeded by the passage of the neces-
sary legislation.

Mr. H. D. Hootman and Mr.
Gorge Friday made eloquent pleas
for greater membership in the lich-
igan State Horticultural Society and
announced the beginning of a
drive for more members in this great
society, which might ilttingly be
called “the fruit growers’ guide and
champion." .

Another announcement was that‘-
the annual summer tour of the,

The Past,

were looking forward to a good

summer and fall came and passed.

Markets were bad, and left many

cattle feeders who had heavyweight

stock on hand in a state of despera—

.‘tion, but apparently not without

" ', hope for a better year in 1927. Cat-
tle feeders and sheepmen both were
going through a period of great
anxiety then, watching the markets

'and hoping that they might be for—
tunate enough to strike One which
would at least pay the board bill for

fftheir stock. Many of them, how—
;ever, fared worse than this. '
J ‘ If it had not been for Mr. Hog,
who went through the entire year
,with banners ﬂying high, there
"would have been more digging of
.the toes deep into the bottom of
boots by cattle feeders. But the hog
came to market in a peaceful frame
of mind, untroubled concerning his
value after arriving. He always
brought a good price. The pig fol—
cattle in the feed lots fre—
y converted slim cattle mar-
into proﬁts and when steers
{failed to even pay the market price
for the corn they ate. the busy
worker salvaged the wasted and un-
digested grain. and went to the vari-
 markets at handsome proﬁts and
little cost.

Good shredders kill ninety-eight

also destroys those put through it.
T‘iese machines are of service in
getting the worms now in shock corn

do more to get these than all others
combined is the plow.

Plowing Is Satisfactory

plowing is efficient since most

Marked changes have occurred in
the cattle market during the past
two or three months, and for the
most part they have been very ac—
ceptable changes to the cattle feeder.
The big weight steers which sold at
such relatively low prices all sum-
mer and fall have staged a grand
“come—back,” and are now selling at
substantial margins over light—
weights of similar quality and ﬂesh.
They are now commanding the top
prices at all of the, markets and es—
pecially at markets contributing to
the large eastern consuming centers.

Many feedersof heavy cattle last
year forgot to remember their ex—
perience of 1924 when heavy steers

all of the leading cattle markets
from $2.00 to $3.00 per cwt. below
prices paid for light weight cattle
of similar ﬂesh and because it was a
good market during the summer and
fall of 1925 for weighty stock, they
again glutted the 1926 market with
heavy beeves. The consequence was

many months of low prices for big

stock.

This apparently inﬂuenced them
to specialize in yearlings for the
1927 crop, the great bulk of stock
cattle last fall going to the pasture
and corn ﬁelds as calves or light-
weight stocker steers. A few long
headed beef producers slipped out a
few loads of strongweight feeder

sold on the Chicago market and at steers with their calves. and now

ble to the discing alone method in
the preparation for spring grain. The
one successful way of plowing which
will kill enough corn borers la chan
plowing. ' . '

Clean plowing means one hundred
per cent without stalks, shacks or
other debris on the surface. The ﬁt-
ting process must not drug any to
the surface. This means a rest for

the springtooth harrow in most
cases.
When corn borers are plowed

under either‘early in the fall or in

the spring, they come immediately to '

the surface. When plowed under
late in the fall so that freezing
weather follows right away, they
spend the winter under the ground
in the stalks, but emerge as soon as
the ground thaws out in the spring.
In experiments they have come out
after having been buried below thir-
teen inches of soil. But when on the
surface, if noidebris of any kind can
be found after a trip of about thirty—
ﬁve feet, the greatest possible for
them to take, the elements kill the
borer. They can adapt themselves
to any kind of cover, if any is left
after plowing, but if the surface is
absolutely free of every shuck or
leaf, then the sun, birds, shrews, or
some other natural enemy of worms
destroys them. The whole success
of plowing comes not in killing the
worms by burying them, but in tak-
ing away the shelter upon which
they depend for survival.

"*" -  Early‘and Late Punting

Most observing farmers in infested
districts have observed that their
early corn was most damaged. This
has caused many people to bet on
late planting as a means of combat-
ting the borer. The" moth does pre—
fer to lay her eggs on a plant com-
parativer well advanced toward ma-
turity, but if she does not ﬁnd one
of right maturity she does not hesi-
tate to lay them on a less matured
individual. Late corn escapes as
long as there is early corn about.
The planting of a trap crop of early
maturing/corn about a later matur-
ing ﬁeld does give the later ﬁeld

some protection, but if the trap is'

not .thoroughly destroyed in time
such a. procedure acts as a boom-
erang and creates havoc the next
season.

Present and Future Of the Beef Cattle Market

they are enjoying the urgent demand
for big cattle. What will come to
pass during the remainder of the
year, or even the next few months,
is anybody’s guess. It was the gen~
eral opinion of the trade last fall
that heavy cattle would come into
their own after the ﬁrst of the year,
and it takes only a glance at the
markets now to see that that opin-
ion was well founded. ' ‘

Speculating on future market con«
ditions is obviously futile when one
of the most signiﬁcant. factors in the
equation, the capacity of the dressed
beef market to absorb the supply,
cannot even be approximated. The
line between deﬁciency and adev
quacy so far as supply is concerned
is ﬁnely drawn. Three. years ago
this summer the day of heavy cattle
was thought to have gone forever,
but it was not true. It is certain
that the trade will take and needs a
much larger proportion of yearlings
and light Weight stock, but there is
always a certain call for heavy beef
as well. .

Heavy Steer at Toy '

Glancing back over a period of six
years it will be noted“ that heavy
steers have sold at the top of, the
list nearly as oxen as yearling; and
it. is interesting to ﬁnd that those
periods alternate quite regularly. In
1920 heavy steers were in the lead,
but during th .middle of 1921 year-
llngs went a e heavy steers. and
held that position until  i dle
of 1982. Again big  cattle
sold at the top of the list re-

 ﬂere until “the were”. ‘

ing that the-ﬁrst few days of June,
or 'close to the 15th will be marked

with low temperatures and, probably .
frosts, insect-ions. ‘T mp‘eratures for 

the month will ave age below nor-
mal; in fact, we expect the entire

summer will record temperatures-

below the average in most parts of
the state. .

The rainfall, as we see it, will be
deﬁcient from usual 8 u m m e r
amounts in many parts of Michigan
during July and August but before
September will have used up all its
30 days, the rainfall will have been
found moderately heavy.

Averaging the fall months of 1927

E have received a large number of letters requesting information

v; on the weather throughout the year of 1927 so we had Mr. Prit-
chard, our weather forecaster, wnite up a forecast for the year
which we publish here. ‘As he writes, his forecast in each issue of
the M. B. F. is not perfect—but nothing else is—and we believe it has
been more accurate, week after week, than any other forecast we have

heard of .—Editor.

 

 

cases because he does forget one
sometimes and kicks up an awful
fuss if he comes back and ﬁnds some
one in his recently relinquished
berth.

They say history repeats itself but,
be this as it may, we know it never
stutters. Weather conditions are
usually very positive and it, does not

' take long for one 'condition or an-

other to decide whether the farmer
replants, plows under or changes his
politics. The ﬁrst three months of
1927 we ﬁgure will be similar to the
year 1922 as far as the general tem-
perature and precipitation depar-
tures are concerned. To many that
year was probably a red letter sea-
son since there were several se ere
sleet storms during early part of
year. These we are not expecting
this year, at least, not as many nor
as severe.

March precipitation will be a little
stronger than January and Febru-
ary. With temperatures also expect-
ed to be above the seasonal normal
during March, there is much reason
to expect the soil will be getting into
good shape for early planting. The
farmers of Michigan must take into
consideration that the weather this
spring promises to be drier than
usual which may develop a more or
less dusty condition at times. The
temperatures, also will range above
the normal. This latter condition,
alone, might endanger the fruit buds
but, like, April 1922, we ﬁgure on
enough cool to cold weather to hold
them in check against some extremes
of weather we expect during May.

Precipitation will generally range
below,the seasonal normal during
the ﬁfth month although there will
be periods when moisture will be
sufficient for present needs. Fogs
may also prove troublesome during
parts of this month. It is not going
to be an easy time for the farmer
because of the sudden changes that
will take place.

June also is going to display some
rather sharp extremes in Michigan
this year. We even feel that frosts
will be more than usually present

shows the state as a whole will
have more than the usual amount of
precipitation. The most of this will

'come during early part of the sea-

son. This condition will not, natur-
ally, be the best for many fall farm
operations. The weather will be es-
pecially bad for fall sown seeds be-
?auss. 31191591212233: *wil‘. be slaw.
The ground will be too wet, especial-
ly for some soils, and the tempera-
tures will average below the normal.

November, however, will take -a
little pity on the Michigan farmer,
even though late in' the season, with
the result that the weather will be
warmer and drier than the previous
months when considering the nor-
mals of each. With proper planning
this month may be useful to many
tillers of the soil.

It will all be over in December,
except the worries. With radical
changes of the weather during the
last month of the year there is every
reason to believe that all fall sown
grains will not be safe from alter—
nate thaws and freeze.

To sum up the welfare of the
farmer for the year of 1927 there
is no need of making any scare—
heads or sensational predictions,
unless it should be that the farm-
ers of this section of the country

stand very well towards procuring a

successful harvest.

We believe the farming situation
will look somewhat dubious during
the early growing season, although
it will not be a down and out busi-

ness. There will be rosy spots. As .1

the sun gets higher in the sky and
the days begin to get warmer, yet
shorter, we believe the smile on the
farmers’ face will get wider. There
will be increased activity in the
farmers' world and the ﬁnancial con-
dition of the majority will be much
better. 

The farmers’ outlook will continue
good during the latter part of the
year, at the time the reaper and
thresher are in operation and we
see no reason at the present time
to feel very sorry for the average
farmer who works his ground and
and business on sane principles.

BEETS FOLLOW BEETS

“Will sugar beet land grow sugar
beets the second time or will pota-
toes planted be better? I turned
over a piece of sod last spring. Will
that grow potatoes by putting a
hundred pounds of fertilizer on the
acre?——IG. M., Armada, Michigan.

UGAR beet land—ﬁelds in which
sugar beets have been grown,
will grow sugar beets again. In

fact sugar beets can be grown year
after year in a ﬁeld. But when the
results from a large number of ﬁelds
are considered—ﬁelds where beets
have been planted the second and
third years—it becomes evident to
the most casual observer, that it is
poor policy to plant sugar beets fol—
lowing sugar beets. The second
crop of sugar beets is not always
poorer than the ﬁrst crop but in a
sufficient number of cases the second
crop is not sufficiently satisfactory
to make the practice advisable. At
least two other crops should be
grown following the sugar beets be-
fore the ﬁeld is again planted to
sugar beets.

Potatoes would probably be a
safer crop to plant as there would
be no danger of the potatoes suffer—
ing from any disease left in the soil
by the sugar beet crop.

It is impossible to state whether
the piece of spring turned sod would
grow potatoes or not. The chances
are that it would. However, as the
formula of the proposed fertilizer is
not stated, it is impossible to tell
whether it would be of any beneﬁt
to the potato crop or not.——J. G. Lill,
Research Assistant in Farm Crops,
Michigan State College.

HOLDS THREE OFFICES

How many township offices can
a man hold at one time and be legal?
We have a man in this township
holding three offices, township treas—
urer, justice of the peace, and on the
board of review and one member of
the board of review is not a citizen
of this county—A Taxpayer, Glen—
nie, Michigan.

HERE is no state law prohibiting
T one person from holding more

than one township office, so
long as the duties of one do not
interfere with the duties of the
other. However, if one office is
such as to require duties of the hold-
er which would prevent from pro—
perly performing the duties of the
other, he would have no right to
hold both—Legal Editor.

DOG ‘KIL'Ls CHICKENS

Will you please inform me as to
the law on dogs killing poultry,
geese, ducks and turkeys? I live on
a rented farm and there is not any
fence in front of the house. The
man across the road owns his home
and has no fence. My poultry once
in great while gets over on his land.
He has an ugly dog and says he
keeps it to kill my fowl. It has
already killed or injured several.
I have had it shut up twice as it
comes over to our place. Is there a
law to shoot a dog .on your own
place caught killing poultry, or on
the road?—Mrs. T., Clio, Mich.

0U could recover damages from

the owner of the dog for the

fowl killed. You could not kill
the dog unless he is on your farm
at the time and is engaged in chas-
ing or injuring fowl. Even then, it
is usually a question for the jury to
decide as to whether it was neces-
sary to shoot the dog in order to
protect your fowl. For instance, if
he has only done this once or twice,
this method would hardly be justi-
ﬁed, whereas if it is of everyday oc-
currence you would have a right to
kill the dog if no other means were
successful in putting a stop to it.-——-
Legal Editor.

When the Wash Tub Disappears

ASHING—eweek after week—has
* always been the bane of the farm
woman’s life. Now, on farms with elec-
tricity a little motor does all the hard
Work of a big wash for a few cents. The
whole operation, from sorting clothes to
“hanging out,” often takes less 
an hour.

Electric motors also pump water, clean
carpets, churn, and run the sewing
machine. And the men ﬁnd their work
is made easier with the electric milker,
separator, and cooler, the motor hoist-
and the light 'of MAZDA lamps.

The old wash-board is put away on the
electriﬁed farm. There is more time for
everybody to enjoy the pleasanter things
of life.

If you are on an electric line or
hope to be soon, ask yourelectric
power company for a copy of the
GEE Farm Book which explains
many uses for electricity on the
farm.

There is a Drew Line Dealer near you who will be 
to show you this feeder—see it and compare it with
others for price and quality. It’s a REAL feeder and
at the new low prices is a bargain you cant dupc
licate elsewhere.

How M We ﬂow Oats?

‘ MOM} the many letters of the
past week is one from A. W. of
Stockhrldge. It is a my inter-

esting letter and the receipt of such
letters encourages one. Among other
things he writes,
“Some time ago
I read in a farm.
paper about sow-
ing oats. This
article told (of a
method whereby
the oats were
sown on the
ground and then
covered by shal-
low plowing. The
soil was then
worked into a
good seed bed on
which alfalfa.
seed was sown.
Thus the alfalfa had a ﬁne start
before the oats came up. It also
claimed in the'article that the oats
stood up better and produced a large
crop. Do you think such a plan
safe?”

Well, there are some excellent
thoughts in that article. For in-
stance, if alfalfa could be given a
ﬁne start before the oats came up, it
would almost spell success. Plowing
the oat-s under would certainly get
them in deep and I think this is an
advantage with oats. it helps them
to stand stronger. The great trouble
with this practice would be in bunch-
ing the cats almost too much by
plowing them under. If they Were
sown in a growth of sod they would
go under quite uniformly, and if
sown on plain corn stubble they
would fall and form uneven bunches
as the soil was turned. 'On corn
land, why not drag them in before
plowing, or if the ground was in
suitable condition a disk drill would
cover them enough to hold while
plowing. Here is a new system of
oat seeding to most of us, why not
try it out on a small scale and
learn first hand what it will do?

Further on, Mr. A. W. says he
gets many seed catalogs and com-
pares prices. Some of these ﬁrms
offer money back guarantees, etc.,
and still have prices much below
other dealers. He wants to know,
“Are they sacriﬁcing quality in or—
der to make low prices?”

The writer has often wondered
how good seed can be sold by one
dealer very much cheaper than any
other dealer can sell it; for. Good
seed has a market value very much
like wheat. In buying seed from a
ﬁrm at a. distance one should always
ﬁgure the freight expense in on the
price. It is quite possible that by
securing seed in large quantities,
some ﬁrms can sell cheaper than
others and still sell as good seed.
Buying seed, however, is different
than buying some other supplies. If
you deal with your local dealer and
ﬁnd you haven’t seed enough, you
can get a few pounds more. If you
have a few pounds left he will
gladly take it back, and Whether you
have a few pounds to sell or a few

bushels or more, he is always glad'

to buy it of you.

Many seed ﬁrms oﬁer attractive
prices on seed mixtures. These mix-
tures never appeal to me. I gener-
ally favor the mixture of grass seeds
but I waubto do it myself!

A. W. also states his ﬁeld for cats
this spring is rather low and liable
to be overﬂowed at limes. He wishes
.to seed this ﬁeld to some kind of
grass that will make both hay and
pasture. [have yet to ﬁnd a better
mixture for this kind of land than
good old timothy and shake. If I
expected to use it for pasture I
would add some orchard grass. How-
ever for hay, orchard would get too
ﬁbrous if not out before timothy was
at it’s best. Some would add a little
red top and perhaps this would be
the proper thing to do especially if
the ﬁeld was to be left for a term of
years. It is almost a certainty that
alfalfa sow-n on such ground would

be a failure.

Fertiliser for Early Potatoes

Mr. H. B. of Albion wants to
know what is best fertilizer for early
potatoes, and if planting last year’s
potato ground to potatoes again this
spring is to be recommended. Early
potatoes require much the same fer-
tilizer as late ones. There is, how-
ever, some diﬂference in meeting "this
requirement. Planting late allows
the manure and material plowed
under to become more available as
plant food than the earlier planting
will. Therefore the early planting
will depend upon commercial ferti—
lizer for more of its food than the
late plant will. Perhaps for this
reason a 4—12-6 would be better for
the early crop, willie 3. 342-4 is or-
dinarily sufficient for the late ones,
and the growth of early potatoes
should get his fertilizer sown as soon
as possible after ground is plowed.

H. B. also asks about seed treat:
ment for scab on the early ones.
We use formaldehyde for the early
seed. Soaking the seed before cut
ting for two minutes in a solution of
one pound formalin to ﬁfteen gal-
lons of water. This should be done
as far in advance of planting as pos-
sible, as treating seed for scab re-
tards the growth of sprouts. Seed
left longer than two minutes in this
strength of solution will be seriously
injured. They should be dried soon
after removing from the solution—
say in twenty minutes. This can be
done by allowing the wind to blow
through them after placing inlerates.

furnishing , any perceptible
amount of nitrogen for a ,potato crop

'3 one would not want to depend upon

it. In view ’of this fact it would
seem advisable to apply a complete
fertilizer of something like 3-12-4 at
three hundred or four hundred
pounds per time, These old sods
must be plowed early, if plowed late
they very often give a poor account
of themselves. -

A-fertilizer agent called on me the
other day and laid great stress on
using the fertilizer (plant food)‘ the
crop would be expected to remove
from the soil. Our ideas of using
commercial fertilizer varied a little
as I have found it pays to use more
of it than the own will be expected
to remove. It is impossible for any
crop to take all the plant food from
the soil. Feeding rootlets are nu—
merous, I admit, but they do not get
all the plant food. It is a good prac—
tice to apply more than will be used,
and get the benefit of it in the next
crop. There is Very little waste by
leaching of commercial fertilizers.
Phosphorus and potash will not
waste any by leach, and generally
the nitrogen part of a fertilizer is all
used in the ﬁrst crop. If, however,
partpf the nitrogen is derived from
tankage or ﬁsh scrap it will remain
a long time in the soil. The writer’s
opinion is we should get our potato
ﬁelds built up to such an extent of
fertility that when the potato year
comes we do not have to use exces-
sive amounts of plant food.

Seed Cost Per Acre

PRICE is frequently at determining factor
when the farmer makes his seed
purchases. Cheap seeds often prove to be
the most costly. Our thinking is apt to be
straighter if we ﬁgure our seeding cost on
an acrevbasis. Farm Bureau Brand Seeds
at $1 per bushel higher than unguaranteed
seed of unknown origin may look rather
high in price. We ﬁnd, however, that it
actually increases the cost of seeding only
l6c per acre, which is exceptionally low

IT IS not so long ago
since people met in
town hall, store or at
the village post—oﬂice, to talk
over matters of importance to
the community. Then came
the telephone to enable men
to discuss matters with one
another without leaving their
homes. With the growing use
of the telephone, new difﬁcul—
ties arose and improvements
had to be sought. Many of
the improvements concerned
the physical telephone plant.
Many of them had to do with
the means of using the appa-
ratus to speed the connection
and enable people to- talk more
easily. This need for improve-
ment is continuous and, more
than ever, is a problem to-
day. Speed and accuracy in

BEAN QUESTION .

EAR EDITOR: After reading

statements of the soup canners

and your editorial‘"“of Jan. 29
I’d like to give one farmer’s view
or the matter. As to grades—feder-
al or otherwise, so tar as the grow-
er is concerned—-they begin and end
at the elevator door. We hear of
tolerance, and surely it should be
stretched to‘ the limit at this time
all along the line. The soupmakers
should be the last ones to kick (-won-
der how much moisture there is in
their stunt). Am sending a sample
of culls, cook them, let the chemist
analyze them, then see it a few of
them will do any harm. Am also
sending a"slip showing just how the
business is done. _

If I want a ton of cull beans at
this time they Will charge $15.00 per
ton. They do not pay me anythingfor
them. I pay 7c a pound or $140 per
ton for taking them out. The slickest
thing of all—there Was ﬁve per cent
excess moisture. They deduct 100-
pounds per ton from beans when
taken in and charge ﬁve dollars per
ton of beans for taking‘out. Or I
have a total investment of $160.00
There is
no drier in this elevator and culls
never leave it until the buyer takes
them away.

This may not shed any new light
on the matter but use it as you see
fit—Geo. H. Gray, Tuscola County.

MICHIGAN APPLES

EAR EDITOR: I have just read

“Just Another Mere Farmer’s”

letter in the Jan. 15th issue
and I also am wondering about Mich-
igan apples. I was born and raised
in the west but not in the fruit belt
of the west.

While out there I heard much
about Michigan’s wonderful fruit
and especially so after I married for
I married a Michigan~man and we
moved back here eight years ago.
I was prepared to have some great
feasts on Michigan apples. But I
have been thoroughly disappointed,
and am wondering why. In the eight
years I have been here I have not
seen eight bushels of good Michigan
apples in the stores after the fall
apples are off the market. Why?

I had quite a confab with one of
the store keepers in Whitehall last
week over this same subject. Went
into a store there and asked for
some good apples. The ones they
showed me as their best were not
ﬁt for pig feed. They were small,
spotted and cull—looking and should
not have been offered to the public.
Theywould not have been if the
owners of the orchard were trying
to build up a name for their fruit.

I spent three years in Grand
Rapids and all of the good apples we
were able to get thre were either
western or southern fruit. The
Washington apple was the best al-
though the Missouri apple was also
a very good one, but the Michigan
apples were small. spotted and
worm-eaten and altogether discour-
aging.

THE FARMER AND HIS
THRESHERM'AN

EAR EDITOR: Many times
farmers are disappointed by. the
custom thresherman just as
Mr. Meeks told about himself last
fall. Now this cannot always be
avoided, but the thresherman can
be reliable if he is the man he
should and if his farmer patrons
,will make their wishes known in
time. However, the farmer is often
as unreliable as the thresherman.
and will change his mind on very
short notice. '
Now to avoid all this trouble the
farmer should give his work to a

reliable thresherman who makes a.

business of threshing for about the
same farmers every year. The farm-
er should tell his thresherman in
time when he would like his work
done, and let the thresherman know
that he will stay by him as long as
the thresherman does the right
thing even though the thresher
might not be able to be on the Job
just at the time he wans him. '

If farmers would not employ un-
reliable tramp thresherman those
kind of men would soon go out of
business or would become more re-
liable. Sometimes the tramp thresh-
erman will make the price lower,
and it will look like economy to
employ him, but the reliable thresh-
ermanis always the cheapest in the
end when 'all things are taken into
consideration. ‘ '

The writer is a farmer, and has
also run a custom threshing outﬁt
for twenty years in the same locality
'and knows that if the farmer and
thresherman will plan together the
time of threshing can nearly always
be satisfactorily arranged. The
thresherman should tell the farmer

just what work he has ahead, the“

farmer can then tell when his turn
When a farmer tells me
he is going to have the machine that
gets there ﬁrst, I tell him not to look
for me because I am not in the rac-
ing game. Were I to make a race
for his work the next patron would-

n’t know when he was going to get J

his threshing done.

The custom thresherman is a
public servant and it is up to him to
give service if he expects to keep his
business and if he is a business man
he will keep his appointments, do
the best work possible, be a gentle-
man and not be disagreeable. and
swear while he is on the job or in
the homes of his patrons. He also
should keep himself as clean as that

VIEWS OF AN OU'mIDER
EAR EDITOR: After handling
hay some 39 years,‘ also cattle,
and going up through the
,Thumb and around your state it
occurs to me that the readers- of
your paper and Michigan farmers in
general should realize more what is
outside of their state that has a di-
rect bearing upon their future pros—
perity. I refer to the growing of
more alfalfa. Much is being done
but no where near enough. Mich-
igan is losing a tremendous amount
of money by delay in a greater pro-
duction of alfalfa.

Another economic loss is the de-
lay in tubercular testing some of the
healthy part of your state like the
Thumb district so that they would be
recognized as a clean and suitable
district from which dairy cows may
be supplied to our eastern markets.
In a recent trip this summer I was
astonished to ﬁnd you are naturally
very clean and still we can’t buy
a cow to come into our modiﬁed ac-
credited areas in New England
whose herds are not under Federal-
Supervision.

Very few have had the opportun-
ity to more clearly observe the wants
and opportunities than myself. There
is perhaps no general farm crop that
will now and for a series of years
pay the returns on a large acreage
that would be obtained from alfalfa.
The eastern dairy interests require
thousands of tons and we have no
adequate supply at present. Other
sections, however, very soon will re-
alise this and it is up to Michigan

to act without further delay, as it-

appears not only to myself but to
many others who are in a position
to know the requirements in the
Central and Southern States as well
as New England—W. L. Mitchell,
New Haven, Connecticut.

GOOD PROFIT

EAR EDITOR: I have been a

farmer all my life up to 1918.

I moved to Parma, bought a
home there of two acres, the front
acre is occupied with buildings, gar-
den and fruit. The other acre
planted to pop corn last spring and
harvested 92 bushels of good salable
corn, sold 42 bushels of cars at 3
cents a pound, the rest I shelled and
sold for 4% cents a pound. If any-
one ean beat that I would like to
hear from them. "It was all sold to

old. I don’t like to be heat so come

MAKE PRISON A PUNISHLIENT

EAR EDITOR: I received your

letter in answer to my inquiry

in regards to the —— Com-
pany and thank you. Pardon me but
I would like to express my idea on
crime penalty as I see it. I will ad-
mit it is a hard problem to decide
but I cannot see where there is jus—
tice in committing a second crime
to pay the penalty of the ﬁrst crime.
Don't think I am upholding crime
because I am not. It ought to be
punished severely but it seems to me
that penal punishment is the just
way. But put them in for life at
hard labor. Not to pardon. or parole.

Feeding Plants

7 ONTINUOUS crop production on mod of the
 farm lands in the central and eastern parts of
i the United States has reduced the available supply
of fertility for the best growth of crops.

In order to produce farm crops at less cost per bushel
or ton, it pays to apply certain kinds of plant food in
the form of prepared fertilizers. The kind of fertilizer
and the amount to be used will depend upon the
previous treatment of the soil, the crops produced
in the past, and the crops to be grown.

TEXT: “Is any among you sick? * * *
The prayer of faith shall save him that
is sick. and the Lord shall raise him up.”
Ines 5:14, 15.

N afflicted soul writes, “I want
to ask you to remember me at
the Throne. I have been sick

since I was fourteen years old. I
am now ﬁfty-nine years old. I keep
up and about, but so weak, nervous,
and easily discouraged.” This letter
led us to try to oiler some health
suggestions in the light of reason
and the Scriptures.

Both the testimony of the Bible
and the experience of believers give
healing potency to faith. Jesus
Christ is, the “Great Physician” of
body as well as soul. His commis-
sioned work on earth consisted in
“teaching,” “preaching,” and “heal-
ing.” Mt. 4:23. The apostles pur-
sued this three—fold plan of preach-
ing deliverance from sins, Of reliev-
ing the oppressed, and of healing
the sick. The two ﬁrst we yet prac-
tise, but in the last we have weak—
ened. ‘

Now, enlightened folks no longer
believe that sickness is a Sign of
sainthood, or that one’s piety is to
be measured by one’s pallor. Man
was placed here to dominate nature
and the external world. It was not
the creative aim that he should be—
come a luckiess victim and groan
and travail in pain. He was made
to have pleasure, health, and hap-
piness thru the fullest communion
with God. This made for power to
order his life so rationally as to
greatly avoid the disturbing effects
of sickness. The ills of the flesh are
no part of the natural order. Ori-
ginally, they were the result Of
wrong attitudes and choicEs . And
isn’t that the trouble yet? God does
not aﬂict us with evil, but man pun-
ishes himself thru bad habits and
practices. Sickness is nature im-
paired. Healing is nature repaired.
Much sickness is due to a bad here-
dity. The iniquity of the fathers is
visited upon the children. But when
you are sick because of your own
carelessness and sinfulness, don’t
take refuge in the medieval notion
that your affliction is a strange visi-
tation of Providence.

Let us pause here to take a hasty
survey of earth’s miseries. War, fa-
mine, disease, and blasphemy ﬁll our
vision. In aoword, man is away from
God and needs salvation; he is 0p—
pressed and needs deliverance; he is
diseased and needs healing. And
when he repentantly returns to the
creative purpose of life, his sins are
forgiven, he rejoices in renewed lib-
erty, and he is given sovereign con—
trol of the lusts of his body.

But just this is the mission of the
Christian religion. The Christian
meaning of life is at its zenith in

Christ. It was he who was pure.
Impure living is a great foe to
health. Doctors tell us that much of

disease is charged up to immorality.
It was Christ who was socially and
constructively busy. Consecration
to a noble cause has much to do with

healthful living. idleness makes
men short~llved and mean—lived.
Wholesome activitch swoeten and

heal our days. And it was Christ
who lived temperately. His eating,
drinking, thinking, working, and
his whole emotlonal life were wisely
controlled and directed. The misuse
of any or all these faculties works
sure harm to the body. How many
lives are made miserable through
ﬁts of temper and other emotional
crises that impair the natural funcs
tlon of the nervous system! So Je-
sus was healthful because he kept
the laWs of God. His optimism,
cheer and reason were in part due
to a hody that was, functioning per-
fectly. It is perfectly reasonable
Mid reverent to say this, for how

Now, Christ’s spirit“ will prevent
disease through removing causes.
Whenever righteousness reigns in
individual or society, we have an era.
of preventive therapeutics and medi-
cine. The Levitical laws are an elab-
orate system of sanitation and hy-
giene. And science has so perfected
these that today we have modern
sanitation and preventive medicine
standing guard over our health.

But the New "Testament has its
repair department. It is not new.
Christ used it, and so did the apos-
tles. Why not more often run our
broken machines in to get ﬁxed up?
"The prayer of faith shall save him
that is sick and the Lord shall raise
him up.” It is to be noted that this
is faith healing. The anointing
with oil was an objective inducer of
faith. Of course, ancient healers
believed oil had curative properties.
The'Good Samaritan used wine to
cleanse the wound of the bruised
man and poured in oil to heal. But
in the James context, oil seems to be
used to improve the quality of faith
in the candidate forhealing. Jesus
used moistened clay and other means
to evoke faith. This was using econ—
omy in the moral realm for it served
more quickly to bring about the es-
sential condition Of faith which was
to lift the soul up to meet the heal-
ing that was to descend through
prayer.

But it must be “a prayer of faith."
“All things whatsoever ye pray and
ask for, believe that ye receive them
and ye shall have them.” But spir—
itual healing is far removed from
the reverence that some folks are

giving to shrines, relics, and occult

fads. Neither does it depend upon
any mysterious formula of words the
source of which and the authority
for which we know nothing about. it
utilizes spiritual forces that operate
only in the spiritual realm of faith
and repentance. These remedial
agencies have been known and have
been curing disease ever since Mark
6:13, “And they anointed with oil
many that were sick and healed
them.”

But why insist so much on faith?
It is mental medicine. Faith clears
the mind Of fear and doubt. And a
reorganized mind'tends to produce a
state that hopes for recovery and
thus has a helpful effect on all bodily
functions. There is an interesting
Bible hint for the mind in “A merry
heart doeth good like medicine.”
This mind state is indeterminable to
man, yet so remedial is it that it
often brings about surprising recov-
eries. ‘

“Go thy way, thy faith has made
thee whole.” These Words of Jesus
make faith a fundamental demand of
the Spirit. Where faith is not,
Christ is limited in his healing work.
The lack of faith puts one at cross-
purposes with God and separates
from the abundant life. Life is pre-
cious to all. but is glorifying only
to those who reach out for the true,
the noble, and the good. To be made
whole is to consecrate oneself to the
task of living righteously.

But with all this hope, God’s
power to heal the body is not used
without discrimination. Paul left
Trophimus at Miletus sickhand he
could not get rid of the thorn in his
own ﬂesh. Yet multitudes of grief~
ridden souls haVe been raised up,
and all have been comforted when
they cast their burdens upon the
Lord. “Himself took our inﬁrmities
and bare our diseases,” ' ' "

ANTENNA, AERIAL AND LOOP
OME confusion exists as to the
exact meaning of aerial and an-
tenna. These are not inter—
changeable terms, poular opinionto

the contrary notwithstanding.

By aerial, the radio - engineer
means the elevated conductor per-s
tion of the usual condenser type of
antenna—the horizontal span‘ of
' wire, to which is connected the lead-
s in. The antenna, on ’the other hand,

 

 

 

 

‘ , um sum a

is a device for radiating or absorbing

radio waves. It is used for trans-
mission as well as reception. A loop,
instead of acting as a condenser ar-
rangement, acts as an inductance,
with its huge coil picking up the
radio waves that cut through it on
their travel through space.

The larger/“and higher the re-
ceiving antenna, within practical
limits the more wave energy it will
intercept and the less sensitive need
be the receiver. There is a practical
limit, however, based on wave
length considerations and broadﬁe‘ﬁ
of tuning.

A loop, while far more convenient
and possessing certain other advan-
tages, interceptS’a smaller amount
of wave energy than the usual ann
tenna, but this difference is compen-
sated for by a more sensitive re-
ceiver, such as the super-heterodyne

have, a government supervisor of
broadcasting who is almost death
on anything but “heavy stuff,” such
as the mind of Beethoven, the
growth of industry, the coloration
of animals, and so forth. A certain

listeners declare there is too much of
it in comparison to other types of

eat all winter. The work wasn't my

kind. Melting up the old slugs from the

' {Linotype and making new bars of metal

 ., didn’t agree with me. Began to feel pe-

""Ll"culiar, and one day when old Doc Bor-

'-ter came in. he looked at me and said

it must be a case of lead poisoning. He

' went and told the boss about it, and they
decided the sooner I got away from such
work the better. The boss was a square
sh’ooter, tho, and he promised me that he

. would line up something else for me.

. I was kinda glad of that. The fold-
ing machine that we used to put the
paper out every week had its weekly
spells. The bands that were supposed to
carry the papers thru the rollers that
folded the sheet was always busting.
That meant I had to get the boss and we
would monkey around getting things go-
ing again. That was how I happened to
hear about the hogs; it was when I was
entering the ofﬁce for the fourth time
thatjnorning to complain about the belts
that ‘Jim Barton came in.

I waited for him to get thru before I
said anything. The boss made a few

ascratches about the hogs and the reward
on a sheet of paper. Then he turned to

Barton.

"Jim," says the boss, eyeing me at the
time, “don’t know anyone out your way
that needs a good husky hand this sea-

9" .

“Well, I dunno,” says Jim. “Who is
the hand, and maybe I can tell you more
about it.”

“You’re lookin’ right at him," says the
boss, meaning me, of course. “Bill here
is in need of a dose of fresh air. The
type and the News ain’t agreeing with
him."

“4“Well, now." Jim begins, “me and the

missus was talking just the other day.

We are churning a bit this spring and

Maria hates to spend all morning with it.

If you are sure Bill's a smart fellow"—

and I saw him wink at the boss—“maybe

we could use him ourselves."

'The upshot of it all was that just a.
week to the day later I was packed up
.132  F119 frcrzt. 9mm 5'3" 
Barton to drive in after me.‘ He hair

. phoned a couple of days before and told

h the boss they would take me, and the

boss in turn told me how lucky I was to

get the job.

“Jim Barton’s rated as being one of the
best fellows in this county, and so you
better be good if you know a snap when
you see one,” says the boss to me, father-
like. “If you don’t overdo, you soon
ought to get back to ﬁrst class, and I’d
like to have you on the News when you
get thru. If you catch them thieves, be
sure and let me know, for the News
wants news.”

That made me feel good, too, for the
boss of the News was a ﬁne man. .He
had been looking out for me ever smce
my folks was killed in a wreck and I had
quit high school and gone to work. Just
then Jim Barton drove up and I loaded
the old grip in the wagon along with
some groceries, butter jars and harness,
and climbed into the seat alongside of
him.

So I went farming in Millbank town-
ship. Had never thought very much about
that occupation. but Jim was so well re-
commended that I felt like I was pretty
important as I sat on the wagon while we
made a couple of calls at different stores.

We got the egg crate from the Empor-
ium (groceries, dry goods and general
merchandise) and we were off for the
country.

Jim asked a lot of questions, and I
could see he was trying to ﬁnd out what

A\_.

I knew. In turn, he explained what. a
time folks were having of late With
thieves.

“Regular gang of outlaws," he explain-
ed. “Why, nothing is safe any more less
it’s bolted down. Last night one of the
neighbors lost his best harness, and Just
after my losing the hogs, Fred Frost, anv
other neighbor, reported that his poultry
house had been robbed. Bill if you are
any good as a detective, here’s a chance
to make a reputation. Maybe that item
in the News will start some of the law
enforcers to work.”

As we went along, he told me how
his hogs had been taken. Said he had
planned to ship some nice ones he had
ﬁnished for market, and get them out to
finish them off on corn. Then one morn-
ing he went out to the pen to feed the
hbgs. and maybe he wasn't surprised.
‘e scooped out a couple of shovels of

said, was that they Ought to be caught.
Then he Started to lambast the sheriff.
That led up to his pointing out a place

about the raid the sheriff made a few

Well, that’s the place. Herman rents the
land, and he was telling me the other
day what a lot of trouble the place was
getting to be."

“Anyone ever see a ghost there?" I
asked, kinda awed-like.

and it was such a shock to her that she
just let out one yell and fainte‘d. When

plumb insane,” Jim said solemnly. Never
was in her right mind after that and
ﬁnally died years later in an asylum.
Course the girls left. An aunt took them
to California and they never came back.
"For a long time the place was vacant,,
as no one would live there, and soon
after rumors began to ﬂoat about that
it was haunted. Well, Herman Dain was
needing pasture for his stocker cattle,
and he eventually rented the place from
the First Natio al Bank, "which had

topped off the suspicion that it might be
a graveyard uncoVered.

“Mike Albert’s‘place," Jim says apolo-
getically. “He's kind of a farmer, part
one, part feeder, and collector of relics.
He gives the women’s club more trouble

" than all the restof the county put to-

:ether."

"How?" I asks. . ‘

“Well, you see, they have been trying
to get._thc place cleaned up. Mike runs
a feed yard and collects garbage to feed
his hogs on». Now and then he runs a
kind of slaughter house. and so the folks
have been trying to make him quit. But
Mike is foxy and manages to out-smart
them every time. He ain't so bad in some
ways and so he has a few friends and
they manage to keep him out of trouble."

Then Jim told me how Mike had come/
there a few years ago and made a prac-
tice of buying up runty pigs, and kept
them around till he had them ﬂeshed up
a_, bit and ﬁt to sell. Mike always paid
his bills promptly. and when. anyone
needed extra help Mike could be counted
on to come in. He was a good worker.
too, Jim said, and knew how to do a lot
of things that stood in his favor. He was
the best man in the community when it
came to stacking grain. He could lay a
round stack and put the swellest bulge
m it, and never a bundle slid out of place.
Apd when; it came to breaking horses,
J 1m said he was a dandy. Knew just how
to quiet them down, and could have the
wildest one eating out of. his hand in less
time than anyone. Seemed to know how
to keep ’em quiet.

Mike was 'a. widower, Jim said. Some
folks said if he ever had a wife it would
have killed her off, living in that mess.
But it didn’t matter, as Mike had always
lived alone ever since he came there:
But there was no denying it, Mike's place
sure looked like there was plenty of room
for improvement. I wondered how any-
one could live in that mess. At least it
had one advantage, for most folks would
not be hanging around there visiting. '

The team was picking up in their gait.
and We soon came‘to a better looking
section. The road angled. and soon we
saw a house set back on a hill with a
neat yard and fence.

“That's our place," Jim proudly indi-
cated with a ﬂourish of his hand. Didn't
blame him for feeling proud, as the Bar-
ton farm house sure was a good looking
one. I found out later that the Barton
place had been in the family for sixty
years. It' was homesteaded by Henry
Barton, Jim's father, when Iowa- was
opened for settlers before the Civil war,
and he was one of the best farmers in
these parts. Jim was born there he said,
and I found out he had a boy. that was
to have run the place, but he died a few
years before. It was a blow of no small
consequence to Jim and Mrs. Jim.

We soon were up in-front of the place.
and I helped unhook the team and put
them in the barn. Then we went to the
house, where I was introduced to a kindly
lady who showed me upstairs to a ﬁne,
airy room. I sure was in luck, I said to
myself. when I had time to look around.
Mrs. Jim. as Jim called her, was a dandy.

“Just make yourself at’home,” she says.
“You can put your clothes in that'warJ-
robe and kinda get settled before supper.
Jlm can get along without you tonight
with the chores." '

But I had my new overalls on in a
few minutes and was headed for the barn,
where Jim introduced me to the stock.
Told me all the horses’ names, showed me
where the oats was kept, and explained
which cows went in which stanchions.

We soon had them fed, and I was at-
tempting to milk my ﬁrst cow. “Let you
experiment on Brindle,” Jim says. “She
won’t kick, and when you get used to
them you can work on the rest of them."

Felt pretty proud of the half a bucket
of milk I ﬁnally extracted, but it was
tough on my wrists.

A few turns on the separator showed
me what there was to that job, and then
supper.

Hot biscuits, cold 'meats, fried potatoes.
plenty of sauce, cookies, and, best of all,
a big glass of fresh milk, soon made me
glad that there was thievery in Millbank
township; otherwise Jim Barton might
never have found me at the News oﬂlce.
After I ran the phonograph a little while
and looked at the papers Jim was reading.
I went off to bed. If farming was all as
good as that ﬁrst day, I was satisﬁed.
I went.to sleep thinking about the hogs
that Jim had lost and wondered who
took them. ‘ .

Next morning was shipping day. It

didn’t mean much to me, as I was intro- 3’ 
duced to the churn right after breakfast.   :

But I heard Jimrcalling afew. ,offthc '

I arrivad‘ at the place where the hogs

gathered about the scales and talking to
Jim. -So I Went that way to hear what
was dong.

“Strangest thing I ever heard about,”
Jim was saying as I came up. "What do
you aimse it's doing here?”

“Well. sir,” says a tough looking fei-

someone was breaking up boxes, and then
a scream. I got up quick and went out,
and here was the wreck of the car. It
hit a post and believe me it is ruined."

“How in time did all the folks that
was supposed to be there get away,
Mike?" Jim asks. ,

“can’t say as to that. MW they
walked at and maybe another car that
‘came along later picked them up. I
thought maybe you might know about it.
There the main reason I name over this
morning.”

So that was Mike, I guessed. It was,
too, I found out later. He looked the
partofbelngﬁebouoftheplamhe

favorable opinion of him as he kept on
talking.

Seems that during the night an old
touring not had gone wrong some way
and melted into a telegraph pole a few
rods west of Mike‘s place. Mike had
heard the crash and got up right away
to see what was doing, and when he got
to the mr. no one was there. The front
end of the auto was a wreck and there
were no traces of any human beings about
it. Mike discovered that morning that it
hadn’t any license plates and several of
the others who had come past the place
had examined the wreck and agreed they
never saw the car in that section More.

er ﬁnally stopped talking long enough
to notice mo and introduced me to the
boysJ Then the talk of the wreck con-
tinued. Just then old Dag). Carney came
driving down the read. I rememth

yalnly IO. get him oil the phone and had
ﬁnally heard him tell some one else to
ask Dan to bring his hogs. So I was
looking for Dan whm I overheard one of.
the boys say, "Here comes Carney."

Dan was a rugged old farmer. lean and‘
driving a team that followed his general
line of make up.

He was excited, I bought as he pond

Jim greeted him. I
.Wi‘thout waiting for further sugges-
tions, Dan m to venue and It was evi»

“Brought what’s left of my hogs." Dan
ﬁnally got out. “Them blankety blank

Now we all were excited. We tried to
talk to Dan, but he kept right on going.i

“Yep, Jim. two of my best Ihotes was
gone. I’m clean mad all thru and I'm
going to get the sheriff out right away,
dang ‘em"

Say, I was indeed-now. Here was a
car that Dan Carney said had been to
his place and it was wrecked. Then Jim
says to me, we better go up soon and look
at it. I was willing. But before he went
he stepped over to the depot and called
the sheriff and asked him to come out if

We soon got over to where the car
was and I looked wise like at the wreck.
Who ever was driving must have been-
lucky to get out cause the radiator was
jammed up bad and the windshield was
busted and both front wheels were down.

They were others there as Jim and mo

the car was smashed. but I was more
curious. I began to look into the car.
Then I saw a bunch of stuff that looked
like hair. I pulled it off and casual like

“Where’d you get that?" he says, right ‘

quick.

“In there." says I.

Jim looks again.

"Well," he says in a calm manner,
“that’s pig hair and its the same color as
that on the hogs Dan Carney brought in
this morning. Guess Dan’s right and this‘
is the w the thieves had been using.”

"Who do you suppose it was," I asks.

"The Farm Paper of Service”

 

FORD’S 20-DAY FARM YEAR
Y FORD’S statement that a farmer can
do his farm work in twenty days out of the
year and be employed in a factory the rest
of the time has aroused more interest and con-
cern than it really justiﬁes in our estimation.

(Of course we may be wrong, and possibly Mr.

Ford can prove it to us, but we are going to re-

quire that proof before we are convinced of our

error.

In the first place there is the weather to take
‘hto consideration.
vents some way of regulating the sun, moon
and stars. so that we can turn on the rain when
we want it or bring out the sun at just the right
time, then possibly we will be able to regulate
the number of days it will require to produce a

‘ certain crop. Also we can then regulate the sup-

? “ ‘ ply so that there need be no over-production one

1‘ year and an under—production the next.

Granting that, with ideal weather conditions,

J map can be produced and marketed .within 20

 dtyl out of the year, What of the many other
A m produced in Michigan that mature at dif-

: brunt periods and are harvested over several

;; months?

' Henry Ford makes his flivvers the same way

. and markets them the same way, rain or shine,
 year in and year out. At times demand is greater
Gian at others but the plan he uses does not vary.

4 He merely increases or decreases production. But

; with the farmers it is different. For example,

I when the price of corn is down the farmer often

5 ﬁnds it proﬁtable to market his surplus through

I H8 hogs.

’ Several of Michigan's leading farmers were re-

- cently interviewed on the subject and none of
them treated the matter with much seriousnesss.

‘ On stated that the Indians beat Mr. Ford to the

i, ﬂea. as they planted their corn and then went

" hunting until it was ready to harvest. Another
expressed the belief that Mr. Ford was getting an

: American price for his product and paying an

I American wage to his help, and what the Amer-

 Ican farmer needed was an American price for

3 Es product instead of a world price. All of them

"2 thought it might work on a gone—crop farm, but

-. “ted the weather had a lot to do with it.

2 Hr. Ford’s experiment, which he states he is

1 m on his farm, will be watched with much

M, and we trust he will give out detailed
ﬁgures on his operations, so that our farmers can

‘ hllow his system, if it proves proﬁtable and will

: work for the best interest of the country.

‘ SOLVING THE SURPLUS PROBLEM
1 NY chance at the farmers gaining relief from
! their surplus problem through the McNary—
 Haugen bill has been killed by—the veto of
 Coolidge. We are not prepared to
' ‘ or condemn the President for his action
 we are not certain just how much beneﬁt

reasons for vetoing the bill have been given
mingthbutcanbebrieﬁystatedasfol-
. That the bill was unconstitutional; that it
Mutated in favor of the cotton, corn, rice,

 
 

00‘

  

 
     

SS FER  

Just as soon as someone in»

‘7 would have been to the farmers of Michigan. -

consumption would be lowered, ~which would
make a greater surplus; that the bill would create
actual “trust” conditions; that the foundation of
this nation was based on the theory of healthy
competition and this/bill would discourage such
activity; that on a whole the measure'was struc-
turally unsound and would bring about ﬁnancial
and agricultural chaos. ‘

So apparently the surplus question will con-
tinue to be a sword over the head of the farmer,
at least until such a time as demand catches up
with production.

According to a Chicago professor by the year
of 2000 there will be 325,000,000 people in the
United States, and he can not see how America.
or even the world, can support them.

Cheer up, farmers, if this increase in popula-
tion is mostly in the cities of our country the
surplus problem of the American farmer will be
solved in another generation or two. But in the
meantime what are you to do? Really, you are
getting too inquisitive.

 

EXPLAJNTHISONEFORUB

MONG the many letters we receive about the
operations of poultry thieves in different sec-
tions of Michigan we recently found one

from a subscriber in the central part of the State
who had lost some turkeys. She wrote that one
night they locked their chicken coop about eight
o’clock without noticing if all the chickens and
turkeys were in there. Chicken thieves had never
called on them and their poultry had always gone
to roost of its own accord every night so there
was no reason; to expect they would be minus
any. However, when they opened the coop next
morning the turkeys were gone. Without'notify-
ing the sheriff she immediately wrote us asking
what to do, but before we could reply we received
a postal card from her advising us to drop the
whole matter as they had found the turkeys in
the cow shed back of the coop.

Now we are in a quandary. Could it be that
someone stole the turkeys, then happened to hear
about our campaign and got cold feet? Or can
it be that the turkeys heard about there being so
many chicken thieves around the country and de-
cided to ﬁnd a safer place than the chicken coop
to roost?

s'rsnrr OUR NEW STORY ‘

UR new story, ‘7Millbank Brings Back Its

Bacon” starts in this issue and we are

warning you right now not to miss it. It
is one of the best, if not the best, of all stories
we have ever published. Most of you will re-
member “Forty Years of Faking” and “How
Bill Bucked the Tiger,” two stories on the work-
ings of crooks among the farmers, whichap-
peared in our columns some time ago. Well this
new tale is equally as good as either of those
two, telling of the operations of a gang who are
stealing farmers' hogs. Then the farmers get
their dander up, organize a protective association,
and things start happening. It is action right
from the start. You will be sorry if you miss
part of it.

 

TIDE} CORN BORER

AVE you read the article on the European
corn borer appearing on another page in this
issue? in was written by a county agricul-

tural agent in the quarantined area of Michigan

who has made a careful study of it so that he
can be of the greatest beneﬁt to the farmers of
his county, and we requested him to prepare this
article for us. Whether you are in or out of the
quarantined area you should read this article
carefully and then ﬁle it away for future refer-
ence, along with the other past issues of M. B. 1".
containing articles on this pest.

No law should be passed unless we expect to
live up to it, and violators should be punished. If
one of your children does something that you
told them not to, you do not praise them and
make them feel that they are right and you
wrong. Of course not, you punish them so they
will not do it again. The same rule should ap-
ply to those who break our laws. They should
be made to realize that we passed the laws to be
obeyed, and if they do break them they have to
pay the penalty.

What we need is more judges who will give
out more jail sentences and fewer ﬁnes. Also our
jails need to be maintained so that prisoners will
consider it a penalty to serve time in them rather
than a luxury. We do not mean to treat pris-
oners in a brutal manner—far from it—but we
do think they should be made to realize that it
is a serious matter to break a law.

_ .
N0 CAUSE non ALA- RM

N article by Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, ap-
pearing in the current issue of one of our
leading magazines, indicates that the writer

believes that the farmers of America are getting
ready to raise only enough for their own needs
and let the rest of the country starve. We think
that Mr. Lowden, who has been endorsed as a
farmers’ candidate for President, is unduly
alarmed over the present situation. It is true
that farmers in many sections of the country
looked for much good to come from the McNary-
Haugen bill if it was made a law but we do not
think they will curtail production to any great
extent because President Coolidge vetoed it.

What has happened when there has been spe-
cial warnings issued to reduce the acreage of
any certain crop? Most times there has been an
increase instead of a decrease. ' Many farmers
thought that if a smaller acreage was planted
prices would be good, so they increased their
acreage to get those good prices, and so many of
them did it .that. It is only human nature to
look out for yourself. It happens in any line of
business, unless it is highly organized, which
farming is not.

Mr. Lowden is a very ﬁne man and we usually
have great regard for his judgment but we are
of the opinion that he wrote this ’article without
giving it enough careful thought. ,

It might be a good idea, but it is one of those
things that will not work, Not for some time
anyway.

 

FEDERAL GRADFE WHY FAVOR

WE have it on no less of an authority "than
the Bean-Bag, a magazine devoted to the
bean and pea industry, that federal grades
for beans are winning favor among the trade.
It reports that when federal grades and grading
were ﬁrst proposed a year ago the canners could
not see it but this year they are boosters. Several
western states have tried them and the advan»
tages outweigh the disadvantages. Big buyers are
beginning to think federal grades and they are
going to demand them. So are the smaller buyers.
Will Michigan deliver them? v

99% or Better Purity

is 'Hardiest Alfalfa

- i The results of experiments at Government Stationsjare “given below.

 

Dr. C. A. Zavitz (head of the Experimen-'
tal Dept. of the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege) describes the development of the gag-
riety as follows: ‘

About seventeen years ago we discovered a.
variegated alfalfa growl in Ontario, which
was exceptionally hardg. his was a blend of
alfalfas obtained over fty years ago from Lor-
raine and from Baden, the latter being the
original home of the Grimm. It has had the
natural selection caused by our Ontario win-
ters for upwards of fifty years. The winter
of 1917~18 was probably the severest on record.
It destroyed the tenderest plants in the ﬁelds
of hardy alfalfa, leavin only the very best.
We, therefore, have in ntnrio at the present
time an alfalfa the seed of which is sure to
create a big demand in both Canada and the
Northern S ates, where an exceptionally hardy
alfalfa is required.

In an experiment conducted at the Ontario
Agricultural College, extending over a period
of ten years, the Ontario Variegated made the
highest record of those hardy varieties which
are grown more or less extensively in Ontario

and in some of the Northern StateSr The ex-
act average percentage of livin plants from
the ten-year period was as fol OWS: Ontario

Variegated, 66.9; Grimm, 66.0, and Baltic, 61.9.

In an experiment started three years ago, in
which there are seven plots of Ontario Varie-
gated from ﬁve different sources and also seven

BERRIEN ‘FRUIT GROWEBS
HOLD LIVEle mm

N spite of mild weather, ideal for
farm work, a large turnout of
fruit growers from several coun—
ties attended the all day meeting of
the Berrien County Horticultural
Society at Ben-

ruary 23.

The meeting
Opened with an
; address on grad—
. ing laws by Mr.

M. S. Fuller, 3.
fruit inspector
a n d practical
grower. Mr. Full
ler reviewed the
various grade
laws and gave it
as his opinion
that there is no
pressing need
for changes in any of the grades,
with one notable exception. This
exception is the No. 1 grape grade.
Mr. Fuller, as well as many, other
growers, inspectors, and saleSmen
recognizes the weakness of this
grade and the dangerous possibilities
which lie in its unpopularity with so
many growers. The speaker advo-
cated a No. 1 grape grade which al-
lowed 10 per cent tolerance for
strageg bunches and 10 per cent
tolerance for defects of various
kinds. The color requirements, it
was stated, should be held rather
high and should be placed at 85 per
cent or near that ﬁgure. Mr. Ful-
ler’s suggestions, it was said, repres—
ented a slight loosening of the pres-
ent Michigan No. 1 but were still
well above the requirements for the
U. S. Federal grade.

Mr. F. L. Granger, sales manager
of the Michigan Fruit Growers, Inc.
described the immense increase
which has taken place in commercial
fruit production in recent years.
After viewing the national fruit in-
dustry from various angles Mr.
Granger has come to the conclusion
that Michigan enjoys a better posi-
tion, both present and future than
any other large fruit growing sec-
tion in the United States. This does
not mean, however, that the careless
fruit grower can make money. Ef—
ﬁciency in marketing and produc-
tion, in other words, business fruit
growing, is the price not only of
success but of survival as well. Here
are some of Mr. Granger’s high
points. “Michigan urgently needs
a complete orchard survey, showing
what varieties are being grown,
where they are located, the number
of trees of each variety, etc.” “Mich-
igan fruit growers suffer less loss
from adverse Weather conditions
than the growers of any other east—
ern state." “Michigan suffers a
higher loss from apple scab than any
other state in the Union. This is
preventable.” “Michigan orchards
are not overplanted. Forced aban-
donment of poor varieties will bal—
ance a normal increase in planting.”
“Grapes are heavily planted, but
there is still a proﬁt in grapes for
the grower who can produce an
average of 3 tons per ahre over a.
5 year period. Low average yield
per acre means a loss.”

Professor N. L. Partridge, of M. S.
0., announced the start of three
pruning projects in Berrien County

 

Herbert Natziger

‘ ton Harbor, Feb-

and stressed the importance of qual-
ity production when m a. r k e ti n g
grapes in competition with other sec-
tions. Correct pruning makes qual-
ity, fertilizers make quantity per
acre, and both are needed to make
grape growing profitable, said Pro-
fessor Partridge. In touching upon
the grape grades the speaker stated
that no change should be made in
the Michigan grades which would
lower them below the requirements
of the U. S. Federal grades. '

Dr. K. L. Butterﬂeid, president of
Michigan State College, in an in-
teresting address told the growers
that business farming is the greatest
need of agriculture, that it will be
increasingly important from now on
and that cooperative marketing and
other organized effort must go hand
in hand with eﬁicient farm manage-
ment. “The individual farmer is
like a drop in the ocean when, work-
ing alone, he throws his products
at the market,” said Dr. Butterﬁeld.

At the close of the afternoon ses-
sion Mr. H. J.- Lurkins conducted a
question box, during the course of
which the growers expressed a desire
for local inspection for peach dis-
eases and appointed a committee of
six to confer with the growers at
Paw Paw relative to needed changes
in the grape grades.

The activities of the day were
pleasantly concluded .by a banquet
given by the Agricultural Club of
the Benton Harbor High School at
which Dr. Butterﬁeld addressed the
assembly on the work of the College
and its program of service to the
farmer. '

That is how a farmer feels in the
springtime. His enjoyment of the
beauties of awakening nature is con-
stantly interrupted by pressing con-
siderations of a practical kind.

’ HERE seems to" be a wide differ-

ence of ‘opiniori as to when to

plant‘ the different garden
crops.

Each year we have an increasing
number of people coming to our
farm after tomato plants when they
should be setting cabbage and call
for cabbage when they should be set-
ting tomatoes. If they were the ast
observing them would notice that
our cabbage is in the ﬁeld and well
along toward the heading stage be-n
fore we set tomatoes.

It simpliﬁes matters if we divide
the garden crops into three groups
and following are the groups in
order: v

l—Frost proof or nearly so.

2——-Frost hardy. Plants of this
group will stand a few degrees of
frost.

3—Frost tender, those injured by
temperatures below 32 degrees.

Among the ﬁrst group we ﬁnd
radish, cabbage, lettuce, spinach,
onions, wrinkled varieties of peas
and cauliﬂower. The last mentionel

- crop is frost prodf it well “hardened
off” previous to time of setting.

The seed of these crops or the
plants can be sown or planted in the
open as soon as ground can be
worked. They not only do better
during the cool months but it gets
that much of the work out of the
way.

In the second group are included
beets, carrots, smooth seeded peas,
turnips, parsley, kale, kohl rabi, and
celery, which, while not as frost
hardy as some of the crops of this
group will stand several degrees of
frost. The reason for placing the
smooth and wrinkled peas in differ-
ent groups is because of the ten-
dency of the smooth peas failing to
germinate readily in cold wet
ground. This group should be
planted somewhat later than those
of the ﬁrst group.

The third or frost tender group
will consist of beans, corn, peppers,
egg plant and the vine crops such as
tomatoes, cucumbers and melons.
These should be planted to avoid
their being up before danger of
frost is past. In the case of toma-
toes, peppers and other crops usually
transplanted we usually plant in
ﬁeld about Decoration Day. This
time will vary according to latitude
and season.

In case of corn it might be well
to plant somewhat early as the ad-
vantage of having it early justiﬁes
the small risk of losing it by frost.

HARDENING 0F PL‘AN'TS GROYVN
IN HOTBED

ON’T fail to harden off plants

by gradually reducing tempera-

ture and withholding water be-
fore shifting to cold frames or set~
ting in the open. This will tend to
harden the plant tissues and elim-
inate loss due to adverse weather
conditions after setting. The latter
part of March will not be too early
to start hardening off- the cabbage,
cauliﬂower and other frost hardy
crops which will go to the ﬁeld
ﬁrst. When well hardened these
crops will stand 10 to 15 degrees be-
low freezing without noticeable in-
jury. The ideal way to harden them
is to transplant them into the cold
frames about March 20 leaving the
tender crops in the hotbed. Where
no cold frame is at hand they may
be hardened in the hotbed if a di-
vision board is installed in the hot-
bed to prevent the cold air striking
the tender plants which should not
be hardened until about May 10 to
20, depending on latitude.

But most important of all, don’t
fail to raise a garden. Some farm-
ers claim they can buy their garden
stuff cheaper than they can fuss with
argarden. But they usually neglect
to buy it and consequently do not en-
joy the season’s vegetables as they
would if they were raised on the
farm.

. Motto :

EAR girls and boys: What a
great reception the announce-
ment of our new club is getting!
I did not realize how many there
were who really wanted something
like this or we would have started it
IOng ago. That just shows that we

can not tell what you really are in»

terested in unless you write in about
it.

Memberships are coming in rapid-
ly and to all of those who have never
received buttons I am sending one.
Also I have had our pledge printed
on a gold card in blue ink and to
each I send one card for them to
hang up in their room or wherever
they wish. The card is very attrac-
tive and I know you will want to
hang it up where you can see it
daily. Not that you will need it to
remind you about our motto or
pledge, but it will show your friends
that you belong to the Club.

Votes on the candidates so far are
pretty near even with no new candi-
dates, but I will not be able to ac-

tually tell who the successful ones'

are until after March 12 which is
the closing date. I will repeat the
old saying, “May the best man win.”
I do not know how any of you could
ﬁnd one better than the other, be—
cause I think they are all best, that
is all except Uncle Ned who is run-
ning for secretary-treasurer and I
haven’t a very good opinion of him.
But if 'you think he is alright and he
wins the election I promise not to
protest.

Soon as we get this election out
of the way we will start some con—
tests so be careful not to miss an
issue of the paper.

I am very anxious for all members
to send in their date of birth for our
membership book and hope they will
not forget this when writing.—

ﬁrst of January 1927 and we signed to
take this paper for three years because
we think this is the best paper. I am a

well anyway. I have to milk four of them
every morning and night. I like to get
up early in the morning and go outdoors
in the fresh air and hear the roosters
crow and then go into the barn and hear
the cows say "moo" to me, and then after
a while the great ball of red, Imean the
sun, comes out of its resting place and
I hear the sparrows chirp merrily on the
bare branches. Then I take my pail, and
take a little stool and place it beside the

like it very much.

All the rest of the cousins describe

I am twelve years old and in the seventh

GOOD SCHOOL RECORDS
Here are two brothers who can be proud
of their school attendance records. Clar-
ence Welsh, standing at the left. lives near
Brant in Saginaw county, and he has at-
tended school ﬂve terms without missing
a day. He is 8 years old. His brother
John, standing on the right, is two years
older and has attended school for ﬁve
yea-rs without missing one day. John is
in the sixth Krade.

started acress the lake and got about
half way across when we heard a “Baa”
and looking around saw that pet lamb
swimming toward us. My father thought
the lamb would drown, so he turned the
boat around and went to meet the lamb,
He managed to pull him into the boat
which almost tipped over. He gave the
lamb to my mother and told her to hold
him. She did and my father rowed to
shore and we didn’t want any more rid-
ing that day. I could tell you a lot more
adventures but have taken up too much
room now. How can I get a button?

If I see this letter in print I may write

more. Your niece—Margaret Bell, R3,
Columbiaville, Michigan.
—Oh do tell us about some more of your
adventures. Perhaps your name should
have been. Mary, because your lamb wants
to follow you every place you go. Tell
us more about your adventures and we
will send you a button. Is that a bar.
gain?

Dear Uncle “Ned‘1—I wish to thank you
for the jack knife that I received last
Saturday. Am very pleased with it.
That is just what I needed. That is a
very nice prize. The boys are all going
to watch for the next contest.

Will try and write you a letter soon.
I go to school every day and my time
is taken up with my studies, so will close
nd hope that some of the other boy
readers will have the good luck that I
did—Byron Lee, Stanton, Mich., R. 1.

-—Glad you liked the knife Byron. I
know when I was a. boy I could always
find use for a new jack knife. Fact was,
I need a new one about every week be-
cause I lost so many. My dad used to
say that if jack knives grew like corn
we would certainly have a big crop on
our farm. I’m going to give more of them
away so you tell the boys to keep their
eyes open.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I received your let-
ter} today and thought I would try again.
One year on the last day of school all of
the pupils went to Potters Park at Lana
sing to spend the day. It was about
11:30 when we got there so we had dlnu
ner. After dinner we went to ‘see the
sights. First we went to see the animals
and then the birds. Then we found the
slides and swings. After we had played
a while it was time to go home. I hated
to leave but I hope to go back some day.

A Game to Play

 

 

RACES BY COUPLES

IX or eight couples are placed in
groups of two couples each, one
couple standing behind the
other, the entire group about 20 feet
from a goal line. The girls take
their partner’s arms and retain pos-
session throughout the race. At a

goal line, carrying out directions
given by the hostess before each
event of the relay; then hurries back
and touches off the second couple.

1. Each man carries a glass of
water in his free hand. At the goal
he hands it to the girl, who must
drink it before both partners, with
arms still linked, can. rush back to
the starting point. Then the next
couple starts and does the same
thing. ‘

2. Each man has a cracker. At
the goal he gives it to the girl, who
must eat it, and is not allowed to
start back until she can whistle.

3. At the goal line the man sings
up the scale and waits for the girl
to-sing down before they can go
back.

4. While they are hurrying to the
goal line, the leader may blow her
whistle at any time, which is the
signal for them to turn completely
around once, and then continue their
course. Because their arms are
locked and because they always have
diﬁerent ideas about the right way
to turn, complications arise.

 
   
   
    
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  

Good fences make a big difference in the size of acres measured in

 
    
  

proﬁts. The biggest acres in proﬁts always belong to the farmer
who rotates crops and raises hogs, cows and chickens. More acres
simply mean mere taxes, but bigger acres through modern farming
keeps dewn taxes, saves hired labor, increases proﬁts and adds to
the fertility of the soil. See your dealer now for those fences you
need to make your farm yield larger proﬁts.

Sunlight

mean bigger acres and larger farm
proﬁts because they provide the ﬁrst
essential to modern, diversiﬁed, proﬁt-
able farming, which is hog-tight en-

OMIT TURN-UP HATS WITH
TURN-UP NOSES
F your nose turns up, don't wear
a hat with trimming that does

_ likewise. A person with 3. turned—
np nose looks best with a brim
which comes down slightly over the
face.

Hats can be chosen to emphasize
good points and to make defects less
conspicuous. A weak chin is more
noticeable when the hat is heavily-
trimmed in front but if most of the
trmming is at the back the chin
seems more normal.

A slight alteration of the lines of
an unbecoming hat might make it
suitable both to the face and to the
figure. Long diagonal lines in the
brim to increase the apparent height
of a short stout woman and a brim
turned up in front a little to make
I. short thin person seem taller are
suggested. For those who wear
glasses, a hat with a brim to shade
the eyes is most becoming.

The shape 9f the face, the hair.
the lines in the face and the shape
of the head all need to be consid—
ered in choosing a hat. Another
'point is to make the selection in
front of a full length mirror. A hat
which may look well as seen in a.
small mirror has a different effect
when the whole ﬁgure is seen.

Other points in becoming—ness are

‘given: A V’shaped neckline makes a

round face seem longer and thinner.
A but with a drooping brim and side
trimmings makes the neck seem
shorter and the face seem wider;
an upturned brim and center trim—
ming seems to increase vertical
length and continues the effect of
the V—neckline.

VARIATION MAKES MEAL
INTERESTING
ARIATION in the forms of food
served make meals more ap-
petizing. It is better to serve
cream chicken with potato cro-
quettes, or fried chicken with escal-
loped potatoes, than to serve

«creamed or partly liquid foods in

the same course. It is better to have
but one food cut in the form of
‘cubcs, as chicken a la king, than to
serve a vegetable cut in the same
way. The same applies to mashed.

NEW FEET ON OLD LEGS

0 help others I will tell how I
put new feet on legs of old
socks.

We buy a good grade to begin
with. When the feet are past darn-
ing, cut them off and rave] out a
couple of inches of the leg; take up
the stitches on three needles, and
when knitting the ﬁrst round, nar—
row every 5 stitches, till you have 18
stitches on each needle. making 54
stitches all together. Then knit 2
inches on the leg with the new yarn,
before starting the heel. When knit—
ting the heel take a spool of coarse
ecru crochet cotton and knit right
along the wool. This makes it Wear
much longer, and when the wool
wears out you have a network of the

cotton as a fundation to darn on.
Knit the foot of the wool. When
within 2 inches of narrowing the toe,
put the cotton in again and continue
till ﬁnished. The reason for nar-
rowing when knitting the ﬁrst round
is that our knitting yarn is so. much
coarser than that used in store
socks—Mrs. H., Nor’West Farmer.

Pointers on Raising the Gladiolus

0 get a little more pleasure out
T of your home life try planting
more ﬂowers. The gladiolus
bulbs should be planted ﬁrst about
April 15th and from then until the
15th of June in any good garden
soil from two to four inches deep,
larger bulbs deeper than the smaller
ones. After bulbs are planted a top
dressing of well pulverized sheep
manure is good and again when
flower buds appear for nice ﬂowers.
Can use bone meal instead of pul-
verised sheep manure if more con-
venient. Select your bulbs from
good growers lists. Not all h h
priced kinds are best. Some of t e
cheaper 6... are often better than
some of the high priced ones. Then
it is not necessary to buy the larg-

  
 

est size bulbs but what some growers
list half size at one—half the 'pl'lCl
or two bulbs at the price of one.
They also list them in different sizes,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. I have planted
lots of sizes 5 and 6 that ﬂowered
the ﬁrst year ‘but the spike and
ﬂower were not so large the ﬁrst
year.. I like sizes 2, 3, and 4 better
unless prices are too high. If you
have large bulbs they may be cut in
two if they are cut with an eye at
the top and part or the root at the
botom. Sometimes large bulbs can
be cut in three or four pieces. but
each piece must have part of bottom
root. This is done by growers to
renew the old bulb and _ ‘
stock. . I like them better when I
can cut from ﬁve to more of a kind

and are kept in a cool cellar until it is
time to set out. It is only by means of

The Potters.—I have seen several pio-
turcs in which W. C. Fields. former Fol-
lies star comedian, has been featured and
they have been funny in a way but this
is the ﬁrst one I have really thought good
enough to recommend to my readers. and
this is extremely funny. Pa Potter has
a great opinion of himself and his busi-
ness ability, but no one else agrees with
him. After 20 years of married life the
Potters have saved $4,000 and then a
salesman comes along and talks him into
investing it in a doubtful oil well. Ma
Potter ﬁnds out about it and makes life
miserable for him until he starts back to
try to force the salesman to refund his
money, but he gets on the wrong train,
and the result is that he returns to his
work the next day very much down-
hearted. In the meantime a gusher is
reported on the property and the sales-
man is anxious to buy back the leases
at almost any price. Pa Potter’s boss
being a crook promises to help get the
leases. and ﬁnally otters Pa a bonus.
claiming that he is afraid that Pa might
lose everything he has invested, there be-
m; such a chance in the oil game. Re—
turning home Pa Potter looms that oil
has been reported found on the property

, When ‘a. Week-End Begins and Ends.—
The "week—end," in the United States,
may begin either on‘Friday, at tea-time,
or. on Saturday, at luncheon. And every
guest: at a week—end house-party should
'know that he 'is expected to conform to
the unwritten, but strictly observed law
which requires him to leave before lunch—
eon the following Monday. Very intimate
friends among the guests you expect to
entertain may be invited by telephone
(the word of mouth may be conﬁrmed by
a brief note), but, in general, it is best
to send a written invitation. The writ-
ten invitation and a ceptance have the
advantage of being a actual record to
which a hostess can refer.

The Runner’s Bible

_J

 

And one of the scribes came and heard
them questioning together, andcknowmg
that he had answered them well, asked
him, What commandment is the ﬁrst of
all? Jesus answered, The ﬁrst is, Hear
0 Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord 15
one: and thou shalt love the Lord "thy
God from all thy heart, and from all thy
soul, and from all thy mind, and from all
thy strength. The second is this, Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There
is none other commandment greater than
these. And the scribe said unto him, Of
a. truth. Teacher, thou has well said that
he is one; and there is none other but
he: and to love him with all thy heart,
and with all thy understanding, and with
all thy strength, and‘to love his neighbor
as himself is much more than whole
burnt offerings and sacriﬁces—Mark 12:
28-33. (E. R. V.)

 

 

Recipes

 

English Plum Pudding—I saw a request

for English Plum Pudding in THE BUSI-

Wans FARMER. I have a few recipes

' given me by an old English lady when

I was a girl, so I am sending them along.

I enjoy THE BUSINESS FARMER very

much especially the Farm Home depart-

ment. I always praise the paper when I

have a chance. I have some more good
recipes I will send if you want them.

13‘» "-1: a"

r ....,..._..;rum Fudmngv—(N’o. IJ—l‘l 'lb.
of ﬂour, 1 lb. of suet, I lb. of raisins,
4 eggs. 1 lb. of bread crumbs, 3:4 db. of
sugar, 1 nutmeg.

English Plum Pudding (No. 2.)—1 lb.
of suet chopped ﬁne, 1 lb. of sugar, 1 lb.
of grated bread crumbs, 1 lb. raisins,
2 lbs. of currants, 2 .teaspoonsful nutmeg,
1 teaspoonful ground cloves, pinch of salt,
1 pt. of milk. Beat together well and
steam 5 hours. Serve with sauce.

Suet Pudding.—1 cup of molasses, 1
cup of raisins, 1 cup of suet, 1 cup of
sweet milk, 31/2 cups of ﬂour. 1 teaspoon
of soda,“ pinch of salt. Boil three hours
and serve with sauce.

Fruit Cake.—3 cups of brown sugar,
1 cup of molasses, 1,4,) cup of butter, 1
cup of sour cream, 4 eggs, 2 teaspoons of
soda, 1 cup of raisins chopped ﬁne.
Dredge with ﬂour, season to taste.

Cocoa Cake—1V2 cups of brown sugar,
1 tablespoon of cocoa, 2 level teaspoonfuls
of soda, 1 rounding. teaspoonful baking
powder in the ﬂour. Fine seasoned with
maple ﬂavor. For spice cake omit the
cocoa, and season to taste with spices.
This makes three large layers. I just
use white sugar sometimes instead of
brown—Mrs. B., Perrinton, Mich.

Deep Dish Apple Pie—This is made in
a. shallow dish with no under crust. But-
ter the baking dish, place an inverted
cup in the center of the dish, and pack
sliced apples closely around it. Sprinkle
with 1%, 0. sugar, bits of butter, cinnamon
or nutmeg. If the apples are dry add 2
or 3 tbsp. of water. Put on a top crust
made of plain pastry. Do not slit top.
Bake in a moderately hot oven until the
apples are tender and crust is brown.
Serve hot. The inverted cup prevents the
crusit from becoming soggy,

Escalloped Apples.-——Add to 1 pint of
apple sauce enough sugar to make it
quite sweet, add a,little nutmeg and 1
tsp. of grated lemon or orange peel. But-
ter a baking dish and add a layer of stale
cake or cookie crumbs, cover with a layer
of apple sauce, then crumbs, more apple
sauce and crumbs, over the top. Sprinkle
the top with a little sugar. Bake in a
moderate oven until the crumbs are brown.
Serve with cream.

Chocolate Custard—3 cups milk, 1/2 cup
cocoa; 4 egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, 34, tea-
spoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Add a
little cold milk to the cocoa, sugar and salt
and mix to a smooth paste. Add to the
rest ,of the milk, scalded. Beat yolks
slightly. Pour the milk mixture onto the
eggs slowly. Add ﬂavoring. Put into
custard cups and place in a pan of water.

\  y We. can. al-
ways besafely made of general con-
dltiOns. The .mral "statement
however may he  that aside
from special products these lands are
grossly over valued and sometimes.
worthless. Marsh hay in in pioneer
days would carry stock through the
winter. Yet animals greatly prefer
straw where and when available.
The observation is the assumed
value of Swamp pastures, when the
same grass if matured into hay is
practically without value. Leafy,
timothy hay grown on reclaimed
land and perfectly cured is rejected
by horses- and only eaten as a last
resort. A bale of swamp grown
timothy bay of equal bulk as com-
pared to upland grown is much
lighter in Weight. Swamp pastures
furnish much less of bone making
material and depraved appetities 6i
cattle seeking bones to chew on are
predominant of such lands. No
swamp pasture ought to be without
an adequate supply of mineral pro-

trw  ouqu

as essential as salt. There is con—
siderable evidence of reproduction
diﬂiculties with cattle on swamp
pastures such as abortion and fail-
ure to “clean” at time calves are
born.

A few crops of roots or cereals
seem to exhaust the available phos—
phorus and potassium and produc—
tion. is diminished in quality and
quantity. A crop of corn allowed
to stand in shocks soon shows signs
of deterioration and decay when
grown on swamp soils, and often the
ears are unﬁlled with grain. Po-
tatoes grown on these soils are dis—
tinctly inferior in quality, while
sugar beets grow large tops, 21 gréat
mass of ﬁbrous roots and are lack-
ing in sugar content.

Swamp lands are largely in the
marginal class and with low prices
of farm products, should be assessed
at a much lower rate than fertile
uplands, there being exceptions to
this rule always. Many swamp
lands and especially the small
swampy “sags” would be more val—
uable if planted to adopted timber
than if cultivated or pastured. There
should be legislative provision made
for legal determination of these
areas and segregated from fertile
uplands with provision made for re—
forestation and exemption from tax—
ation. ‘

These areas would be excellent
places for game refuge and restora-
tion of wild life. Reforestation and
pasturage are not possible and the
opinion and observations 11 o t e (1
above are that the pasture return is
overvalued. There are so many
small swamps in the hardwood area
of Michigan susceptible of local re-
forestation and to a large extent
without planting but merely to fence
against live stock that it offers one
of the quickest and least expensive
plans for conservation possible. The
rapid ’growing trees like the elm,
black ash, and soft maple will grow
in the drained, or practically drained
areas, formerly too wet for these
moisture loving trees.

I have seen a growth,.of 140 elms
on less than one-eighth of an acre,
grow tall and erect within the last
20 years on reclaimed tamarack
swamp land. These trees will aver-
age 8 inches in diameter.

One has but to go'into an unpas-
tured upland forest to see the myri-
ads of elms in all stages of growth;
transplanting these trees costs prac-
tically nothing.

Many years ago I had an old fence
row cleaned up and when plowed

inches apart in a furrow along the
edge of low ground. Today there is
a solid hedge of elms which should
be cut out in part to allow tree
growth. As it is no animal could
get through this elm hedge.

Elm trees in swamp land make ex-
cellent line fence posts and are set as
cheaply as posts. Conservation and
wild life are” problems of the lower.
part of the lower peninsula quite as
much as in the former pine areas
and the actual accomplishment
m h easier and quickerythan else-
w; are. The plan needs oﬂicial sanc-
t 

The European ,Com Borer is a plowing problem.
Experts agree that clean plowing is the solution.

They recommend the following method of control:

lat. Start in the center of ﬁeld and plow outward
with OLIVER CORN BORER PLOW before May
1, covering all stalks and debris. ..
2nd. When all the ﬁeld is plowed except the out-
side 12 or 14 rows of stalks, remove mouldboard
and lift the stalks by plowing about two inches deep
on the row.

3rd. Rake stalks over onto plowed ground.

4&1?! Replace mouldboard and ﬁnish plowing the
ﬁe .

5th. .When stalks are dry enough to burn completely
destroy them by ﬁre—Stalks must be destroyed before
May 1.

Get in touch with your Oliver dealer immediately.
Have him demonstrate the OLIVER CORN BORER
SULKY OR TRACTOR PLOW in your ﬁelds. You
have to plow anyway . . . it is just as easy to protect
your crop while you are doing it.

Write for our latest literature on the
control of the European Corn Borer.

Allow—Farmers busy ﬁnishing husk-
ing corn, drawing manure, cutting wood
and attending sales. Bad weather on
wheat meadows, although there are not
many new meadows here on high
land, alfalfa excepted. Silage does not
seem as good this winter as usual. Some
farmers trying to get to city and some
city dwellers coming on farms. About
as many farmers as last year. Quotations
at Wayland: Milk, $2.35; eggs, 23o dos.
—.L. G. E., 2-24-27.

Monroe (8).—-A.lbert Linehan and Son,
auctioneers, broke all records for selling
hogs on Saturday. this feat being ac-
complished by selling 48 grade spring
gilts. They were driven on auction plat-
form and sold in 36 minutes averaging
$43.80 per head. They were sold to men
from Riga and Blissﬂeld, Mich, Delta,
Berkey Lime City, Pettisville, Wauseon,
Bowling Green, Mornineetown and Swan-
ton, Ohio. The auctioneers attribute the
succe of the sale to the thorough adver-
tising as an important part of a good
sale. Quotations at Temperance: Wheat,
$1.22 bu.; corn, $1.05 bu.; oats, 39c bu.;
rye. 75c bu.; potatoes, $1.50 bu.; butter,
45c 1b.; eggs, 22c doz.—C. W. Elsenmann,
8-2-27.

Midland—«Snow and winds seem to be
the order of the day. Unless something
new sets in wheat is coming on better
than expected. Hard to tell about new
seedings yet. Sudden changes of weather
makes it very interesting for old fellows
like me. Quotations at Midland: Wheat,
$1.20 bu.; corn, 70c bu.; oats, 80c bu.;
rye, $30 bu.; beans, $4.00 cwt; potatoes,
$1.50 cwt; butter, 40c 1b.; eggs, 220 dos.
-—B. V. C.. 2-28-27.

Clare (NW).——Idea1 spring weather.
Some farms being rented. A few auction
sales. Clare county parties are starting
a hatchery at Mt. Pleasant. Farmers
optomistic. Too early to tell how grains
wintered. Cattle are looking good. Pros—
pects of plenty of feed to see them
through. Some calves being vealed at a.
good price. Lots of ice not much snow.
Considerable sickness owing to so much
damp weather. Quotations at Harrison:
Butter, 450 1b.; eggs, 30c don—Mrs. R.
E. D.. 3-2-27.

Monroe—February weather unusually
ﬁne. Roads that are unimproved have
been bad. Fruits seem to have withstood
the cold'weather thus far. Buds examin-
ed look well. There has been much dis-
cussion about the corn borer. . Some think
too little workable advice has been given.
It is not likely that a majority of farm-
ers will go into debt for expensive ma-
chinery if that is to be required of them.
The price of corn would not warrant the
undertaking. Many want information to-
ward exterminng the pest with the
equipment they now have. Quotations at
Monroe: W’heat, $1.22 bu.; corn, $0e cwt;
oats, 390 bu.; rye, 850 bu.; potatoes, $1.40
bu.; butter, 450 1b.; eggs, 220 don—Mrs.
I". H., 8-3-27.

Bhiawassee (Fwy—Ground froze solid
yet but most of snow and ice gone. Most
farmers planning on reduced acreage of
all crops for coming year. Do not look
much for Coolidge administration to bring
better times, not for farmers at least.
Ford’s 20-day plan might learn them a
lesson but where would city workers get
anything to eat. Quotations at Elsie:
Wheat, $1.17 bu.; com, 800 bu.; oats,
37c bu.; rye. 70c bu.; beans, $3.70 cwt;
potatoes, $1.00 bu.; butter, 500 1b.; eggs.
200 dost—G. L P.. 3-4-27.

WashtenawF-Snow about gone. Cold
raw weather about all gone. Roads are
rough except state highways. Cutting
wood and getting ready for spring is the
order of the day. Farmers are greatly
interested in the corn borer. A meeting
was held in Ann Arbor on February 21,
called by Mr. Osler, the county agent, to
consider the situation. A large crowd
was present. Many auction sales through-
out the county. Farm tools sell very
cheap. Grain and stock bring good prices.
Cows sell up to $200.00. Quotations at
Ann Arbor: Butter, 50c 1b.; eggs, 300
don—A. W. 8., 3-3-27. -

Saginaw (SE).—-We are having some
ﬁne weather. Ne snow on ground. Not
very favorable for wheat. Not much do—
ing along marketing lines. Prices too
low. A smaller acreage of beans antici-
pated. More com and potatoes. _A po—
tato meeting was held at Birch Run, con-
ducted by Mr. A. B. Love, our county
agent, which was well attended. Stock
in healthy condition. ,Hens beginning to

lay. Egg prices dropping rapidly—E. 0.

1L. 3-3-27.

Hillsdale (NW).~—Except for the cold
March wind we are having ﬁne weather
for this time of year. The ground is
frozen again and the roads are very
rough. Sheep feeders are beginning to
ship their sheep and are getting fair re-
turns. A number of farmers are still buy-
ing . to feed for late

weather to get everything in good repair
so as not to lose time when spring gets
here as there was not much fall plowing
done. The hatcheries are reporting fair
hatches for so early in the season. Eat-
ing potatoes are being advertised at 800
a bushel. Eggs are down to 20c a doz.
.—C. H;, 3-3-27.

Saginaw (NW).—Weather ﬁne. Snow
all gone. Not much doing. A few auc—
tion sales and well attended. Things go
high. A few farms changing hands.
Some corn to husk yet Bad weather nor
wheat and new seeding. Thawing and
freezing. Not much grain going to mar-
ket. Beans have been a disappoinunent
to farmers. There will not be as many
sown this year as last. Quotations at
Hemlock: Wheat. $1.20 bu.; corn, 75c bu.;
oats, 89c bu.; rye, 80c bu.; beans, $3.70
ewt; butter, 520 1b.; eggs, 220 don—F.
D., 3-3-27.

Wexferdr—We still have quite a bit of
snow. More came on February 26. The
weather is pretty cold. Roads in good
condition. Eggs are plentiful and price
lower than two weeks ago. Dairy cows
are bringing good prices at this time. A
few farmers are having sales. Quotations
at Oadillac: Wheat, $1.15 bu.; com, 800
bu.; oats, 600 bu.; rye, 70c bu.; beans,
$4.25 cwt; potatoes, $1.25 cwt; butterfat,
50c 1b.; eggs. 28o don—E. H. D., 3-3-27.

Emmet—The past two weeks has been
fine winter weather. A thaw four or ﬂvo
days settled the snow some but it is cold
again today. Cows at an auction yester-
day went from $40.00 to $90.00. Farm
machinery brought fair prices. Looks
like somebody intends to farm another
year. Quotations at Petoskey: Oats, 50¢
bu.; potatoes, $1.25 cwt; butter, 450 1b.;
eggs, 300 don—«R. D., 3-2-27.

Harem—More snow—better than glare

fearful for wheat on flat land, much the
same of 26. Several sales billed, many on
ﬁne looking farms. The full force of poor
crops and deﬂated price still in evidence.
Some land sold, price around assessed
value, on time. Gray haired milkers are
giving “Milk Producers Ass'n.” a .hard
race with milk on stand at $1.85 for 3.5
test. Got to keep those children in school,
so they won’t have to farm like us. Very
little farm butter made, price 55c. Oleo
much used at 250 to 35c perlpound, artis—
tic packages free. Milk hauler says his
patrons use it regularly. Agitation for
T. B. test for county.-—-E. 3,—3—3-27.

8t. Joseph—Nice spring weather.
Farmers are hauling manure, and sawing
wood. Auction sales are plentiful With

A short time
- ago I gave one
of my agricultural classes .an
examination, and to my surprise,
and unlike the majority. of students,
they asked if they could not be given
an examination of similar character
in the near future. I showed the
questions to one of my farmer
friends, and he too seemed to enJoy
answering them and said, “Why
don’t you make out a similar set of
questions for the farmers of Mich—
igan?” .

This is not an easy task as farm
policies and practices in one part of
the state may not be similar to those
in another part. Nevertheless, ac-
cording to his suggestions, I am pre—
senting a set of general questions
which are made for the diversiﬁed
farmer of Michigan.

Get out your pencil, scratch your
head, follow directions carefully,
and see how high a grade you can
make on this examination. The an-
swers are given on another page,
after you have completed the test.

It you miss three, your grade is
eXcellent. It you miss six, your
grade‘ is very good. It you miss
nine, your grade is good. It you miss
twelve, your grade is fair. If you
miss more than twelve, your grade
is not so good and you may blame
the teacher for asking such peculiar

TOP dreading the time when
. your cows freshen! The
.. troubles you’ve looked upon in
v the past as part of the hazard
of dairying are no longer a men-
ace to your proﬁts. Dairymen
without number are now using
Kow—Kare at freshening be-
cause of its marvelous invigor-
ating action on the reproduc-
tive organs.

Kow—Kare is a concentrated tonic-
medicine that has no other function
than the building up of the digestive
and genital organs. By using this
famous cow medicine with the feed
for two or three weeks before and
after freshening you are assured a

7 health cow—and a strong, vigorous
calf. etained Afterbirth and the
other disorders you have learned to
dread have no terrors for you if Kow-
Kare is your reliance.

Kow—Kare, used sparingly with the
feed helps your cows ﬁll the pail under
the most adverse conditions of winter
feeding—when dry, heavy feeds put
an added burden on digestion and
assimilation. Try Kow—Kare when‘
troubled with Barrenness, Retained
Afterbirth,Abortion, Bunches, Scours, _
Lost Appetite, etc. Its health-building
action will give you a convincing
demonstration of its money value to
you in 'the business of dairying.

19,005 COWS UNDER TEST
-~ ' IN MICHIGAN - .
URING Januarythe 102 Michi-
gan Cow Testing Associations
reported that 148 cows were
disposed of as unproﬁtable animals.

This ﬁgure is taken from the 74
associations that reported testing
19,005 cows. Five herds were re—

tested and are listed with over ﬁfty
pounds butterfat each. The highest
producing herd for the state is
owned by J. K. and J. M. Barien,
members in the Allegan-West Cow
Testing Association.

Four out of the ﬁve highest pro-
ducing herds are either purebred or
grade Jersey herds. The Allegan—
West Association also is credited
with the highest butterfat produc—
tion for the state.

A1 cows under test in Michigan av-
eraged 25.01 pounds fat. The high
cow for the month was a purebred
Holstein owned by Dewey C. Pierson,
member of the Lapeer C. T. A. This
cow under retest and four times a
day milking produced 113.0 pounds
butterfat.

EXERCISE EWEIS TO GET
THRIFTY LAMBS
F breeding ewes can be made to
walk at least one mile every day
in getting a large part of their
roughage, the chances for a crop of
strong, thrifty lambs this spring are
much better than if the ewes are
allowed to loaf in the yard around
the barn or shed, according to live—
stock specialists.

It is a good practice to scatter the
roughage in the ﬁelds or pastures
each day during clear weather when
the ground is frozen or dry, they
say. In this way the ewes will have
to take exercise in getting the rough-
age feeds. ,

When it can be done, the ﬂock
should be shut away from the barn—
yard in the ﬁeld or pasture during
the day and made to rustle for its
food.

In so far as housing is concerned,
warm barns, except during the lamb—
ing season if the lambs come in
cold weather, are not desirable for
breeding sheep. The wool protects
the sheep from cold and all it needs
is a shelter from cold, sharp winds
and a dry place to sleep.

The extension specialists also say
that the feed rack or trough in the
shed or barn where sheep are fed
in bad weather, ought to be made so
that chaff and litter from the hay of
other roughage which is fed will not
get into the wool around the necks
and on the backs of the sheep. Such
litter and dirt cuts the selling price
of the wool. For the same reason,
and feed rack should be arranged so
that chaff and litter will not be scat-
tered over the backs of the sheep
when the racks are being ﬁlled., It
is also a poor practice to force sheep
to make their living during the win—

, VALUABLE HOLS'TEIN Cow
HITNEY V’BROS., of I .Ingham
county, have ’a‘ six year old

_ registered COW- sired by a son
of the $100,000 bull, Pontiac Hen-
'gerveldt Fayne, that freshened~the
last of December 1926 which has
produced at the rate of 70 pounds
per day of 4 per cent milk in cow
testing association work. I In 31
days in January and 28 days in
February this high producing cow
will have made 4,130 pounds of milk
containing 165.2 pounds of butter-
fat. She is fed a balanced ration
composed of 2.00 pounds of corn
glutten, 150 pounds corn meal, 100
pounds ground oats, 100 pounds
bran, 75 pounds oil meal, .50 pounds
cottonseed. She is fed about 16
pounds of the mixture per day with
23 pounds alfalfa hay and 30 pounds
corn silage].

That she is a proﬁtable producer
may be seen from the fact that feed
costs were 180 per pound of butter-
fat and 68.1 cents per 100 pounds of
milk. Such dairy cows are rare. At
$3.00 per hundred for milk the
value of her milk for the two months
is $123.90. The cost of her feed is
$28.15, and the value of the produc—
tion over the cost of feed is $95.75.
With the ability to maintain this
production over a long time, this
cow would prove a very valuable one
indeed.

 

\VARM WATER FOR COWS
OWS will not consume as large
amounts of water as they
should if the water is very cold.
Heat it just enough to remove the
icy chill. Take care not to have it
warm, hOWever, for cows, like peo—
ple, do not ﬁnd lukewarm water pal-
atable. High milk production re-
quires that a cow drink large
amounts of water, so give this at-
tention in cold weather. ‘

 

FEED PIGS MORE CORN
WHEN FINISHING
ORE corn and less protein con-
centrates are fed to pigs dur-
ing the ﬁnishing period. A
good ration would contain 10 pounds
of corn to 1 pound to tankage. The
change in the ration must be gradual
and the increase in feed not too
rapid, in order to keep the pig from
going off feed.

 

HOGS AND POULTRY NEED
WATER OFTEN
OGS and poultry need water
often, and should have it close
at hand where they can drink
whenever they want it. If horses,
cattle and sheep' can get a good
drink once or twice a day, they will
do well.

steer is again at the top. How long
will he remain there? Until pro-
ducers can food out another exces~
live supply of them. Will they do it?

At present the country is still
specializing in light cattle and de-
manding quality. However, there
have been a few who have rewritiy
taken out steers averaging from 1000
to 1160 pounds at Kansas City, Chi-
ugo and other western feeder mar-
kets and if conditions in the market
on fat heavy steers continue to re-
main as bright as at present, this de-
mand for strongweight feeding stock
will undoubtedly increase. Will the
country forget the bad year of 1926,
and 1924,-and overload the 1928
market with weighty bullocks again?
That remains to be seen. Only a
few loads in excess of immediate de-
mands results in a break of 25c or
more now, but it takes a larger pro—
portion of lightweights to cause
mnc change in prices. In other
words, "demand for weighty stock is
more or less rigid while for yearlings
it is of more ﬂexible nature. There
is a greater risk on heavy cattle, yet
more to be gained if markets are
“silt.

An Illinois feeder learned a bitter
lesson on the Chicago market. He
marketed his 1800 pound hooves six
weeks ago at the top of the Chicago
market which was around $3.50 per
ewt. more than he could get for
them in December. He was de—
lighted at the price he received,
but was good natured enough
to tell a little of the history of the
cattle. They had been shipped to
the market as fat cattle a year
earlier, but because of the bid which
seemed exceedingly low at that time,
the cattle were loaded back into the
cars and shipped to his food lots
again until the market improved.
But there was no reaction. On the
contrary, prices kept going lower
and lower. In the mean time the
cattle kept getting fatter and heavi~
or. The year passed by. The feed
bill expanded to enormous size. The
spurt in the market after the ﬁrst of
the present year brought the cattle
back again in prime condition, and
they went to the same buyer who bid
on them a year previous. The ex—
pense of those cattle was not di—
vulged by the owner, but he said
that they lost him plenty of money,
but added as a redeeming feature
that they had fattened several ship-
ments of hogs which followed be—
hind them. His resolution was nev-
er to rely alone on heavy cattle.

Since the turn in the heavy cattle
market this year, there has been I.
tendency for many cattle ﬁnishers
to purchase heavy feeders but they
are competing with killers. There
are comparatively few two year old
feeders available and reports from
the western range territories are
that the bulk of their stock this fall
wﬂlbeyoungstockoflightavmge
weight. It takes more than a year
to produce a crop of heavy hooves
regardless of the inclination of the
country ‘or the supply of feed avail-
able and some think it is doubtful
that another big supply of heavy fat
cattle can be produced until well
alongintheyearoflizs. Asitis

ueu is steadily herons

_ GDANDERS

In a. case of glanders in a horse,
does the discharge from the nose get
oﬂensive‘to smell? How long does
a horse live after getting glanders?
What is its cause and give symp—
toms.—.——L. M., Grass Lake, Mich.

HE discharge may be absent or
T nearly so in a glandered horse.
Have seen a large number while

in the army, but not often that they
had a discharge. May live for

There is a wide variation in
this respect. Caused by the germ
called Bacillus Mallei. The symp-
toms are very indeﬁnite but usually
the animal becomes thin and no
cause can be given for it; small
ulcers may be seen inside the nos-
trils. Occasionally small abscesses
of the lymph glands may appear,
just under the skin. If glanders is
suspected every horse on the place
or that has been exposed should be
tested at once with Mallein test. Have
assisted in doing at least 50,000 of
them but we did not depend in any
measure upon clinical, symptoms.
We usually found some signs of the
disease on post—mortem as the mili-
tary regulations require an examin-
ation of this kind be made on every
reactor to the test; all are destroyed.
It is very contagious to humans in
which it is always sure death.

COWS CHEW ON BOARDS

I have two cows that chew on
boards aﬁd rotten wood and and. will
eat ﬁne roots. They are both fresh
and give a big ﬂow of milk. I give
them two feeds of good clover hay,
corn stalks and bean pods of oats
and corn ground per day. What can
I give them to overcome it?—-C. F.
D., Standish, Mich.

OUR cows are suffering from

mineral starvation. Get some

special steamed bone meal. Mix
25 pounds with 10 pounds of salt.
Give each cow about one-third of
a pound or seven tablespoonsful
daily on ground feed. This will
make a wonderful improvement in
your cows in a few weeks.

IIEAVES
I have a horse that has the
heaves. Can you tell me a remedy to
give her and work her right along?
The heaves are bad, sometimes she
can hardly breathe—A Subscriber,
St. Johns, Mich.

,EEDING carefully will help this
horse as much as anything; do
not feed heavily of hay at any—

time. Feed regularly and give larg—
est feed of hay in the evening; very
little in the morning and none at
noon. You might sprinkle the hay
with lime water. Make this up by
putting a pound of lime in a large
pail of water, then sprinkle the hay
with this water.

KICKING I-IEIFER
I have a heifer that kicks so that
it is almost impossible to milk her.
When I get her fast so she cannot
,kick she will throw herself. How
can I cure her?—~(}. V., Mich.

WOULD tie this heifer’s hind feet

together and then I would take

a long pole and bind her against
something solid like the wall of the
barn or the side of the stall and
hold her there while I milked her;
put the pole high enough so she
can’t fall over it and let er ﬁght. I
know of nothing else to do.

TImUSH
What shall I do for thrush in
horse’s feet?——Mrs. S., Paw Paw,
Michigan. ‘

0R thrush in horse’s feet—clean
out the cleft as well as you
can and remove any shreds of
horn; then mix iodoform and Calo-
mel equal parts; work this into the
cleft well and cover with oakum or
cotton to keep out the moisture;
keep in a dry place and repack this
every day for a few days then every
other day.

When we was in school the teacher
neglected to teach us how to buy

$9.98 each with total cash on hand

The mothers club met at the

six old maids, two grass widders,
eight young girls and a sprinklin’ of
mothers. When lunch was served,
Ella Perkins explained that she was

witches, four helpings of cake and
ﬁve ﬁllin’s of cocoa.

-Grandma Perkins knows how to
take off warts by sayin’ a spell over
them. She said it over Zeke Martin’s

so powerful it took all the warts oﬁ
the hubbard squashes in the cellar.

The subject at the debatin’ club

LOST MANY TURKEYS

I had bad luck with my turkeys
this past summer and lost over half
I hatched. When they Were about
two or three weeks old they get sore
eyes. Som died and some in about
a month got a swelling around the
eyes and a choking in the throat.
Would like to know what caused it,
or is it a disease and What treat—
ment to use—Mrs. L. B., Wolverine,
Michigan.

EXT time get a baby chick mash
containing cod liver meal, meat
scraps, calcium carbonate, bone-

meal and dried buttermilk. These
poults were not getting a balance
ration. Feed them carefully for a
few days. They should have had
sour milk and nothing else to drink.
The sick ones should be separated
from the well ones as fast as noticed.
Clean up and then disinfect with
stock dip.———Dr. G. H. Conn.

SEVERAL QUESTIONS
Kindly-forward at once informa-
tion as to how to cure chickens that
have roup. We have about 300 ca—
pons that are badly affected due to
the weather conditions. We may be
mistaken, however, as to it being
roup. They have a discharge from
the nose with bad odor and are al—
ways droopy. We’ve tried patent
remedies, also remedies giVen by
our home veterinary but nothing
seems to take effect. Would it be
advisable to caponize roosters from
two to three pounds? Also advise
us how to feed laying hens—A. R.,
Elkton, Michigan.
HEK ﬁrst and most important
thing in roup is to see that the
ventilation is right. It must be

free from, draughts and the house

must be dry. Remove all sick birds
and cleanup and disinfect often.
Get- a small atomizer such as doc-
tors use and then have your drug-
gist mix up the following: Tincture
of iodine, 1_ ounce; glycerine, 3
ounces; and alcohol, 3 ounces. Take
the sick birds and spray the inside
of their throats twice each day.
-Do not try to caponize the roos-
ters at the size you mention.

The following is a good ration

wheat middlings,
20 pounds; meat scraps, 15 pounds;
bone'meal, 5 pounds: salt, 1 pound.

Prevents and relieves
little-chick ailments

GIVE chicks no feed until their systems are strong
nough to receive it. Nature provides nourishment for
the ﬁrst 48 hours. Then raise them the Pam-a—ce-a way.;

Pan-a-ce-a prevents indigestion and indigestion
leads to bowel troubles which cause more chick losses
than all other causes combined.

       
    
 

   
 
    

    
    
     
   
   
   
   
   

Pan-a-ce-a keeps the system free from poisonous
waste materials, which are often the cause of fatal
maladies. No indigestion, no bowel troubles, no gapes,
no leg weakness where Pan-a-ce-a is fed regularly.

     
   
   
     
   
   

Pan-a—ce-a is a valuable nerve tonic which brings
into healthy action every little-chick organ. lt whets
the appetite and enables chicks to get the good of
their feed.

Pan-a-ce-a contains the best blood builders known.
It supplies the important minerals so necessary to bone
development, muscle making and feather formation.
A Pan—a-ce-a chick outfeathers a non-Pan-a-ce-a chick

     
       
   
    

every time. ' v' ,
‘ ' ' Pan-a-ce-a your half-grown "fowls ‘ 
If you want early broilers, if you want pullets that i;
will mature into fall and winter layers, you must prevent :i
the backsets in your Hock. Pan—a-ce-a is your insur-
ance policy. Add it to the ration daily—one pound 
to every ﬁfty pounds of mash or feed. Costs little to , 
use. The price of one two-pound broiler will pay for
all the Pan-a-ce-a 200 chicks will require for 60 days.

If Pan-a-ce-a does not do all we say, and if it does
not make you a real proﬁt, take the empty container ‘ .-
back to the dealer and he will refund your money. V f:

or purchased ﬁve females from a
man who had been trap-nestlngand
one male from the College. ’From
this mating 6'6 pullets were raised
and that fall were carefully culled,
mated to some College males. These
birds Were selected both for color
and production. V

In the spring of 1924 this ﬂock of
66,pullets was made a Demonstra-
tion Flock and was carefully culled
and a breeding pen of the best birds
were picked out and mated with the
best male that could be found. Selec-
tion was again made for color and
production. From this choice mat:-
‘ing 77 pullets were raised. The fall
of 1924 out: of the ﬂock of 77, ten
birds were selected and put in the
International \ Egg Laying Contest
on Nov. 1, 1924, and at the close of
the contest this per; , of ten birds
ﬁnished fourth with,an average of
180.4 eggs per. bird, with three of
the hens making 200 eggs or better.
“an the fall of 1925, the owner. had
culled carefully and another breed-
ing pen was picked and mated with
a good male. It was the practice of
the owner to use only the eggs from
her small breeding pen for their own
ﬂock. In this way it gave about ten
birds from which to pick one for the
breeding pen. Also out of this 140
birds another pen of ten hens was
selected for the International Egg
Laying Contest, begl nlng Nov._ 1,
1335‘. and ermine NB 1, 1926: {is
ten birds had laid on average 'of
178.8 eggs, with two birds having
gone wrong. Eight birds had an
average of 202 eggs each. ‘

In the fall of 1926, the owner
had selected 110 pullets again from
twice that number and now has a.
beautiful ﬂock which has been pro-
ducing very well all winter. An-
other pen was selected for the Con-
test last fall, which opened Nov. 1,
This pen is now holding
second place and all the birds with
the exception of one, are making a.
good record.

This strain of Sanilac County
Rhode Island Reds has all come
from this one particular strain until
now they have several ﬂocks that
have both color and production and
extraordinary vitality. It is also
stated by authorities who know,
that this strain of Reds is about the
best that can be found for both color
and production.

A number of breeders last‘ year
made a county exhibit at the State
fair and as a group they obtained
three ﬁrst, three seconds, three
thirds, two fourths and two ﬁfths.

'Sanilac county has ﬁve of these
pens in the International Egg Laying

lege and the production for the

According to County Agent John
D. Martin these hens are not only
good producers but all have good
color and meet the standard qualiﬁ-
cations.

EGGS MADE lAGE-PROOF
MEANS of rendering the egg of
the hen immune to the ravages
of time, in which electricity
plays an important part, has been
devised. Technically, the process is
knewn as sterilization of eggs, and
is accomplished by means or a re-
cently invented machine. The steri-
lization is accomplished by passing
the eggs through an oil bath at 235
degrees Fahrenheit. This hot oil;
ﬁlls~ the pores in the eggshell, pre-
vents air from entering, and dis-
courages any tendency which the egg

Mrs. Rhoades’ letter will no doubt:
be of utmost interest to poultry rais-
ers who have had mentions losses from
White Biamrhoa. We will let .Mms.
Ms told tilt (in her own monds:

“Dear Sir: I see reports of .so

ten my emails-nos. My ﬁrst incuba—
tor whims when but a dew days (old,
began to die by the dozens with
White Diarrhea. .I tried different
remedies and was about discouraged

sent to (the Walker Remedy '00-,
Dept. 5.2.2, Waterloo, 1a-, for a $1.00
boat of their 'W-adko White Diarrhea
Remedy. It’s just the only thing
for this terrible disease. We raised
700 thrifty, heahthy chicks and never

Cause of Who Diarrhea
White Diarrhea ’is caused by Ini-
croscop‘ic organisms which multiply
with great rapidity ‘in the intestines
of diseased birds and enormous

numbers are discharged with the
droppings. Readers are warned to

beware of Wh‘iteDiarrhea. {Don‘t
wait until 'it kills half your c'hic‘ks.
Take the “stitch in time that saves
nine.” Remember, there is scarcely
a hatch without some infected
chicks. Don’t let these few infect
your entire ﬂock. ‘Preve'nt it. Give
Walko “in all drinking water *ﬁor the
ﬁrst two weeks and you won’t lose
one chick where you lost hundreds
before. . These letters prove it:

Never Lost a. Single Chuck

Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind., writes: "I have lost my share
of chicks Tram ’W‘hi‘t-e Diarrhea. Fi-
nally I sent for two packages of
Wa‘lllm. I raised over 500 chicks
and I never lost a single chick from
White Diarrhea. Walko not only pre-
vents White Diarrhea, but it gives
the wok-s mm and vigor; they
develop quicker and feather earlier.

 

Never Lost One Alter [ﬁrst Dose

Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw writes: “I
used to lose a great many chicks
from White Diamhea, tried many
remedies and was about discouraged.
As a last resort ’I sent to the Walker
Remedy (10-, Dept. 522, Waterloo,
Iowa, for their Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy. .I used two 500 pack-
ages, raised 300 White Wyandottes
and never lost one «or had one sick
after giving the medicine and my
chickens are larger and healthier

Firmer Underto'ne To Wheat Market
Future of Livestock Market Looks Bright
By W. W. FOOT], W Edit“.

may look a little early to speak
intelligently about what plans
are being made by the farmers
of the country regarding spring
grain planting and other lines 01
work, but many reports are coming
in from various corn growing sec
tions that a moderate curtailment of
acreage is quite likely to take place.
This applies particularly to such
farmers as depend upon raising corn
for the market, the experience of re-
cent years having shown the folly
of,this course, and it may be stated
positively that the present outlook
points to a considerable development
oi.’ the good old-fashioned practice of
feeding the corn on the farm. This
has always been the course pursued
by the most successful farmers of
the great middle west, and we are
fast approaching a period when be-
cause of our enormous and rapidly
increasing population, an expansion
of the production of beef. part and
mutton will become necessary. Al-
ready a hog shortage looms up in
the corn belt states, and farmers
are not marketing suiticient numbers
of tat long ted beet steers to satis-
fy the demand. Lambs are still a
source of. proﬁt, particularly in the
state of Michigan, despite the failure
of wool to advance to a good paying
basis. As for wheat, Michigan tarm-
ers are not at all likely to cease re—
garding it as a staple crop, and the
same holds true of the dairy and
trait industries. Apple orchards are
receiving much better care than a
few years ago, and as a result of scl-
entinc pruning, graiting and spray-
ing, old orchards are becoming a
source or large proﬁt to farmers in
the fruit belt. “Tapping time" has
started in the maple groves of In-
diana, and a good ﬂow of sugar
syrup is reported. Most of the maple
groves are only moderately large,
and the larger ones are very profit-
able.
Firmer Undertonc m Wheat
While it can hardly be claimed
that any marked improvement is
taking place in the wheat markets of
the United States, there is a little
better tone on the whole, and the
May future is a triﬂe stronger, with
late sales on the Chicago Board of
Trade around $1.42, comparing with
$1.50 a year ago. Plenty is market—
ed ior all domestic and foreign re—
quirements, and the visible wheat
suppty is well ahead of last year.
Domestic millers are only moderate
btyers, and exporters are most 01
the time much smaller buyers .0!
breadstnis than in recent years, al-
though a little,more than two years
ago wheat for May delivery sold
around $2. Crap scares may develop
. later, but so far the outlook is pro-
mising, with no large amount of win-
ter killing reported. Crop experts
place some stress on the fact that
around 41,000,000 acres were seeded
to eat last fall, comparing with
37.00 ,000 acres harvested, and
they ﬁgure that considerable acre—
age might be lost without the pros-
pect of a good crop being greatly
reduced. Farm reserves of wheat
are estimated at 124,000,000 bushels
or 24,000,000 bushels in excess of a
year ago.
Less Corn Reserves
Farm reserves of corn are esti-
mated at 1,068,000,000 bushels,
comparing with 1,330,000,000 bush-
els a year ago, but available sup-
plies in the United States are in-
creasing and are much larger than
last year. Corn has had moderate
advances recently, sales for May de-
livery being made on the Chicago
Board of Trade around 79 cents, a
little higher than a year ago. How-
ever, there is known to be a very
large proportion of damaged corn of
poor feeding quality. May oats have
sold up to 48 cents, being seven
cents higher than a year ago, prices
responding to reliable reports that
the farm reserves were down to
$84,000,000 bushels, comparing with
. 071,000,000 bushels a year ago. May
‘no u up to $1.07 because of the

 

notmakingsnchapoorabowing .

Dowsing Hog Receipts

Hogs,aswellascattle,havehad
good advances in prices owing to
last decreasing marketings and a
much better local and eastern ship-
ping demand. Heavy beet steers
have sold on the Chicago market at
the highest prices recorded since
December, 1025, while choice light
hogs sold much better because of
the great tailing oil in the oterings.
Pigs and underweights advanced the

most, as usual, being rather scarce,
and the general market was much
higher than in most recent years.
There is an extremely wide range of
prices, covering a spread of $2.
Word comes from Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, that brood sows are in demand
at $35 to $60, but not as much so
as tall and summer pigs for feeding
purposes. In a number of auctions
pigs weighing 50 pounds sold at $10,
and in a few instances higher. Buy-
ers think prices are too high. but the
demand keeps up. Recent Chicago
receipts of hogs averaged in weight
281 pounds, comparing with 242
pounds a year ago and a live year
average of 231 pounds. The receipts
in seven western packing points for
the year to late date amounted to
4,030,000 hogs, comparing with 4,-
880,000 a year ago, 0,861,000 two
years ago and 7,200,000 three years
ago. Recent sales in Chicago were
made of hogs at $10.50 to $12, com-
paring with $10 to $13.60 two years
ago and $6.25 to $7.25 three years
ago.
Choice Cattle Go

The Lenten fast started oil with
an advancing market tor desirable

lead, these being the scarcest in the

5 Week of March 13

' HE week at March 13th will open,

and also close with mostly fair

weather in Michigan but with
plenty of stormy and unsettled
weather conditions during the mid—
,die days. From about Monday or
Tuesday to Thursday: or. Friday
Michigan may eXpect moderate to
heavy precipitation and some high
winds.
' Toward the end of the week the
storm period will be passing and as
a result temperatures will fall to
much lower readings. ~

o Week of March 20

Low temperatures of last week
will continue into this week but as
the middle of the week approaches
recorded readings will be higher.

The fair weather of last week will
also run into this week but will soon
‘give way to heavy storms of rain or
snow in many parts of the state.
Added to these effects will be some
rather high winds. Between these
periods or in other parts of the
state there will be mists and fogs,
some of them quite heavy.

Shortly after the middle of the
week temperatures will fall but
about Friday the weather will again
become much warmer and will re-
main so during the balance or the
week.

Uunsettled weather conditions
with some locally‘ heavy precipita-
tion may be expected near the end
of this week and running into next.

Dry Warm Spring in Michigan

Air currents will .be such during
the months of April, May and June
in Michigan as to preclude a normal
amount of moisture. It is also ex-
pected that this condition will be
further augmented by temperatures
"for the period averaging above the
seasonal normal. In some sections
of the‘state parts of April will prove
very good to the farmer and his ac-

. tivities.

vide a 4c gas tax. permanent $5.00
license for passenger cars, annual
weight tax license for commercial
vehicles and the return of two mil-
lion dollars additional to the coun-
~ties annually. /

Rep. Win. P. Strauch of Vernon,
Chairman of the Roads and Bridges
Committee, quoted statistics which
had been endorsed by the Secretary
of State’s office and the State—“High-
way Department which showed that
the Town and Strauch bills would
provide ample revenue for the State
highway purposes.

Would Aid Northern Counties

During the past week Senator A1—
bert J. Engle of Lake City and Rep.
H. Earl McNitt of Cadillac introduced
bills intended to assist the more
sparsely settled counties with their
highway ﬁnance problems. These
measures propose __an additional cent
gas tax, the proceeds of which would
be used during 1927 to help the
State pay its delinquent awards to
the counties. Beginning with 1928
the revenue from this source would
be apportioned equally among the 83
counties of the State, on the con-
dition that their program of work
would have to be approved by the
State Highway Department.

After spending weeks studying the
ﬁnancial needs of the various State
institutions and scrutinizing their
budget requests, the Senate Commit-
tee on Finance and Appropriations
and the House Committee on Ways
and Means are beginning to report
back the appropriation bills for ac-
tion and vote on the ﬂoor. Practic-
ally the ﬂrst measure of this kind
passed by the Senate was the Horton
Bill, appropriating $200,000 for each
of the next two years for the control
of the European corn borer.

It is necessary that this measure
be speeded through the Legislature
in order to meet the requirements
of the ten million dollar appropria-
tion recently made by the Federal
government. Another reason for
haste is that Spring is the time of
year when most of the clean-up work
must be done.

The ofﬁce of Superintendent of
Public Instruction is considerably in
the limelight just at present. Sen.
Tom'Read of Shelby has introduced
a resolution providing for a constitu—
tional amendment to make this ofﬁce
appointive by the State Board of Ed—
ucation. The same measure has been
introduced in the House by Rep.
Joseph E. Warner of Ypsilanti. An—
other measure is being considered to
place the Superintendent of Public

' CHICKS HEALTHY

PREVENTS WEAK LEGS, DISEASES and DEATHS

Don’t keep chicks behind glass. It shuts out the sun’s
Ultra-Violet rays, causing leg weakness, rickets, disease
and ﬁnally death. Leading State Experiment Stations
and scientists have proved this in many tests. But these
scientists also found that chicks kept under FLEX-O-
GLASS were safe from rickets, weak legs, stayed healthy,
were full of pep and grew amazingly in this warm sunlit
room—because the chicks absorbed the energizing Ultra—
Violet rays that FLEX-O—GLASS admitted. See the proof
in center column.

These tests were made for you. Put your chicks under
FLEX-O-GLAISIS. Prevent weak chicks, disease and deaths
in this easy way. Every chick will mature or reach fry—
ing size much sooner than ever before because they ab-
sorb the tissue building Ultra—Violet rays that pass thru
FLEX—O—GLASS. Poultrymen everywhere have replaced
glass with FLEX-OJGLASS, which makes use of the sun-
shine—Nature’s
chicks are out of slush, snow and rain.
chick growth will actually amaze you. Just build a
FLEX-O—GLASS scratch shed easily and replace all poul-
try house windows with FLEX—O-GLASS. The results
will be astonishing. Use 15 yards for 300 chicks. This
cozy sun-lit brooder—house will pay for itself many times
the ﬁrst season alone and next winter keep your hens
in it. The Ultra-Violet rays will keep them healthy and
active, stimulate the egg glands and make them lay to
the limit in coldest weather. Mail the coupon with re—
mittance today for a trial roll. Satisfaction guaranteed.

What UltraaViolet Rays Will Do

See the two chicks above. .They illustrate the
difference in growth obtained by depriving
chicks of Ultra—Violet Rays, and by keeping
them under FLEX-O-GLASS. State Experi-

have proved this since FLEX-O-G ASS

PROOF

IOWA STATE COLLEGE states: “Believe
your product (FLEX—O-GLASS) _far superior
to common glass for enclosing chicken houses
for Winter and for brooderliouses,”

OHIO STATE EXPERIMENT STATION, up-
on completing a ricket test reports: “Enough
of the effective Ultra—Violet rays were trans-
mitted to offer protection against leg weak-
ness.”

KANS. STATE EXP. STATION says: “Up
until 2 years ago no one understood the value ,
of Ultra-Violet Rays. Sonie excellent results
have been reported by practical poultryinen
Who have used glass substitutes“ ‘which will
allow the passage of the health-giVing portion i
of sunshine to a conmderable greater extent
than glass.”

Folks have always had poor luck Em chicks when kept behind
plain glass. The reason was not own until a few years a o.
scientists found that chicks, pigs and many plants eventuafly
died and hens quit laying when deprived of Ultra—Violet rays,
and plain glass shut these rays out. Therefore Mr. Warp origi-
nated FLEX-O-GLASS to admit these needed rays. He per-

fected FLEX-O-GLASS after much research and experimenting.
He found it could be manufactured much cheaper than glass.

‘FLEX—O—GLASS was the ﬁrst and original Ultra-Violet ray

ﬁlter advertised years ago. and Mr. Warp still has charge of the
manufacture of this most durable health—producing product. He
stands back of every word on this page. Why chance a sub-
stitute or imitation when the genuine, time tested FLEX-O-
GLASS which is registered in the U. S. Patent Office casts no
