ONSIDERABLE interest among
farmers and farm organizations
7 has been evidenced in a bill, re-
cently introduced in the House of
Representatives at Lansing, which
purposes to shorten the period of re-
demption under ,a foreclosed mort-
gage. »
Under the present Michigan law,
full title to the property securing a
mortgage does not pass at the sher-
iffs sale which culminates foreclos-
ure proceedings. The mortgagor is

given one year in which he may re-
deem his property by paying the
principal sum of his mortgage plus
accumulated costs.

Theoretically, a long period of re-
demption should assist the farmer
by permitting him to operate his
farm over a full crop season in an
eleventh hour attempt to work him-
self out of indebtedness. Practically,
however, the lawmakers’ leniency

has milltated against the best in’ter— ‘

ests oi the farmer.

of credit they deserve co

where there is no redemption period
after a sheriff’s sale.

The borrower, aside from being
penalized by paying a higher rate of
interest and securing a smaller loan
on his security, is further handi-.
capped by the fact that there,are

no bidders present at a foreclosure

sale to buy his equity.

The advertising done in connec-
tion with the foreclosure is fruitless
because no one is interested in the
advertisement except the borrower
himself and this expense is charged
to him. It is of no more advantage
to him than the formal notice that
is served upon him because no one
is interested in buying real estate
where possession cannot be given
until a year later. '

If the period of redemption came
before the sheriff’s sale, the adver-

lined ‘of'redemption has expired and k
few people have in mind the reﬁnin-

.  s" »- n 
locations. fore the interface-

tion date, so if any results are to be
obtained from the advertisement in
attracting bidders,-it must be done
all over again immediately prior to
or after the redemption period in
order to bring it to the attention of
the parties interested. " .

Under the Ohio law, where the
title passes at the time of the sher-
il's sale, it is not unusual to ﬁnd
enthusiastic and competitive bidding
for the property. a

An example of what actually hap-
pened and what is happening in
most cases occurred with a loaning
agency operating in both Ohio and
Michigan. In the case of the Ohio
loan of $5000 on a term, a sheriil’s
sale was held and the farm sold for
$10,000 cash. There was competi—
tive hiding at this sale. The dif—
ference between the mortgage and
the selling price went t, the borrow-
er and he received approximately
$5000 for his equity.

0n about the same date a farm
sold in Michigan at a sheriff’s sale
upon which there was a $5,000
mortgage. The Michigan farm was
better located and originally cost
the borrower more money than the
Ohio farm, but there were no bid-I
ders at the sheriff's sale of this farm.

’ The year’s period of redemption was

directly the cause as the farm was
well located and one or two parties
made inquiries regarding- it but
found that they could 'not get pos-
session before one‘ year after the
sheriﬂ's sale and for that reason did
not bid on the farm.

’ The Michigan man retained pos-
session of the farm for a year, at
the end of which time he was un-
able to redeem because he lost his
credit through the fact that the
foreclosure became necessary and he
found that he not only had to raise
the delinquent interest but the cost
of the foreclosure sale together with
the entire amount of the principal.
This he was unable to do without
assistance and in one case was of-
fered assistance but because of the
cost of the new loan and the exces—
sive toll asked by. the local money
leaner, he declined to accept the
odor. He had not duly concerned
himself regarding the redemption of
this farm until a few weeks before
the time expired. The result was
that he lost his farm and all he re-
ceived for-his equity was the privi-
lege of using his'farm for one year.

The fact that depreciation on real
estate which is being neglected or
possibly laying idle is so rapid, that
a discount of 15 to 25 per cent is
usually made by the loaning agency
at the time the loan is made and for
the reason that money is being
loaned under adverse conditions a
higher rate of interest is charged.
The fact that few people if any are
interested in buying a piece of prop-
erty which they are not permitted to
take possession of until a year hence,
is causing the Michigan borrowers
to lose their equity in a majority of
cases. If it actually is not lost, it is
costing them a big penalty to re—
ﬁnance.

Because of the results of the
Michigan Foreclosure Law an of-
fort is being made to shorten the re-
demption period and bring the re-
demption period closer to the date
of the sheriff’s sale so that the bor-
rower may realize something for his
equity and it is a well known fact
that when the loan is made the her-
rower is going to receive more liber-
al terms, both as to rate of interest
and amount of loan granted. '

The change in the law is expected
to bring more competition, among
loaning agencies with a tendency to

grant larger loans considering the .

amount of security, on more liberal
terms. This change will avoid the
embarrassment which has come
about through. the fact that the her-

rower has hoped for a change of at:-

fairs which would enable him to re-

deem his mortgage and through fail-

ure to do so has lost his entire
w

equity. _

Hands That Wield the Scepter

The Life of Our State Officials At Lansing Is Far From Bed of Roses

\

ITY the poor State officials at
Lansing! No matter what‘they
do or don’t do, somebody is

always cussing them. Take the
Legislature for instance. The public
is always wailing about the multi-
plicity of laws passed by the Legis—
lature and urging that this session
be noted for the quality rather than
the quantity of its enactments, yet
every individual seems to have one
or two pet bills that he wants intro-
duced and every organization that
meets passes a long list of resolu-
tions favoring all sorts of legislative
proposals. ‘

It's hard for a lawmaker to knew
whether the majority of his con-
stituents really want a measure or
whether the support for it is only
on the part of a noisy minority. Then
again everybody sobs about high
taxes, but at the same time asks the
Legislature to launch the State into
new ﬁelds of activity and appropri-
ate additional thousands of State
funds for various purposes.

The troubles of the members of
the present‘”Legislature and of Gov-
ernor Fred W. Green are further ag-
gravated by the fact that unexpected
bills against the State are constantly
coming to light and the further the
investigations into various institu-
tions and their ﬁnances go, the more
discouraging the situation becomes.

Rep. Fred R. Ming of Cheboygan
charged, in a speech on the ﬂoor of
the House last Friday, that only four
State institutions had received all of
the money appropriated by the Leg-
islature two years ago. He said
that these were the University of
Michigan, the Michigan State Col-
lege, the State Prison at. Jackson,
and the Boys’ Vocational School at
Lansing. All or part of the appro-
priations for the other State insti—
tutions was held up by the previous
State adminisration, probably in an
attempt to keep down the State tax
rolls. »
Disclosures are Alarming

The investigations of the Chelsea
cement plant unearthed conditions
which were. bad enough, but recent
revelations of conditions at the new
State prison which is being con-
structed at Jackson eclipse all for—
mer disclosures.

The Governor sent to the Legisla- /

ture last Friday a most astonishing
and discouraging report by Harry L.
Conrad of the ﬁrm or H. G. Christ-

4?

SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1927

: By STANLEY M. POWELL

Lansing Correspondent of THE BUSINESS FARMER

man Company who had been making
a thorough investigation of the con-
struction and cost to date of the new
Jackson prison. He estimated the
cost of the new institution at $12,—
750,000—-a remarkable in c r e a s e
over the $5,000,000 estimate given
out by ex-Governor Groesbeck. The
report showed that the new prison
was being built on 156 acres of
swamp land which cost the State
$23,624.24 and that $135,042.94
had been expended in leveling the
site and ﬁlling the swamps and $55,-

725.45 in installing a drainage sys-'

tem. This makes a total cost of
$214,392.63 to provide the site for
the new prison. The actual area
within the walls will be only 57
acres. 0

In addition to the drainage system
a seWer system will be necessary
which will involve an additional ex-
penditure of about $250,000. The
report showed more' than three times
as much construction equipment as
is necessary had been used on the
job thus far and that in the one cell
block which is practically complete
the cost has run over $1,200 each
for the 380 cells therein. The report
states that the prisoners who will
be conﬁned in this cell block will
have as beautiful, as comfortable
and as sanitary accomodations as
any other prisoners in the.world and
more conveniences than in the rooms
of some of our ﬁnest hotels. The
report concludes, “It must neces-
sarily be inferred that the State of
Michigan has paid. a tremendous
price for what it has received.”

In transmitting this report to the ,

Legislature, Governor Green said,
“I would respectfully recommend
that we do not undertake to com-
plete this work, but that provision
be made for the building of the wall
and three or ﬁve of the cell blocks.
I would also recommend that we
continue the use of the old prison,
but abandon the poorest cells. I
will submit for your consideration
estimates of the cost of these re-
‘ commendations.”

While the lawmakers are gradu-
ally wading through a mass of ap-
propriation requests and other rou-
tine legislation, many of the mea-
sures in which readers of THE BUSI-

NESS FARMER are undoubtedly most
interested are languishing in various
committee pigeon holes. The House
Highway Committee has thus far
been unable to reach an agreement
regarding the various proposals to
amend the present gas and weight
tax laws. It begins to look as if
nothing might be done along the line
of a 40 gas tax, a reduced weight tax
for trucks and permanent licenses
for passenger cars. Although the
committee has ﬁgures approved by
the Secretary of State’s office and
the State Highway Department
which show that the Town and
Strauch bills to carry out the fore—
going program would produce ample
revenue, the committee has thus far
been unable to reach any agreement,
and all developments along this line
seem to be deadlocked.

From the standpoint of agricul-
ture, probably the most important
action of the session to date was the
passage and approval by the Covers
nor of the corn borer control bill and
appropriation measure. As originally
introduced, this bill empowered the
State Department of Agriculture to
establish quarantines and enforce
clean—up regulations and appropri-
ated $200,000 for each of the next
two years for this purpose. The
House Committee on 'Ways and
Means cut this amount in half, but
on motion of Rep. Denis C. Clancy
of Hillsdale an amendment was
adopted which gives the State
Administrative Board authority to
expend not to exceed $100,000 addi-
tional if in its opinion the emergency
demands it.

The House Committee on Conser-
vation has approved a bill by Rep.
David H. Brake of Fremont which
contains the following provision,
“No person shall hunt with ﬁrearms,
or dogs, or in any other manner
upon any farm lands or farm wood-
lots connected therewith without the
written consent of the owner or
lessee of such lands.”

Chicken Thief Bills Retarded

The House has passed bills by
Representatives Hall and Huff which
are intended to discourage chicken
thieves and impose stiff jail and
prison sentences for poultry stealing,
but the Senate has not yet taken any

action on either of these measures.

Changes in the grading laws for
potatoes, apples and grapes would
he provided by measures which are
making steady progress through the
Legislature.’ These bills would de-
crease the tolerance for various
grades of these products and
strengthen the enforcement provi-
sions. The potato bill, which is
being sponsored by Sen. Chas. R.
Herrick of Fenwick, would bring
truckers under the operation of the
law. It has already passed theSen—
ate unanimously.

A truth—in-fruit juice bill to pro—
tect Michigan fruit growers against
unfair competition from dealers who
sell imitation fruit juices which are
artiﬁcially colored and ﬂavored, has
been proposed by Sen. George S.
Barnard of Benton Harbor.

Protection of farmers’ live stock
against dangerous animals is pro-
posed in two bills now pending in
the Legislature. The House has
passed a measure sponsored by Rep.
Alonzo B. Green of Hillman to pro-
vide that farmers would be reim-
bursed by the State for damage to
their live stock and property
caused by bears. Sen. Phillip
O’Connell of McGrcvcr is fathering
a bill to declare w u coyotes and
Wildcats to be nox. animals and
to place a boun.y on them.

Propose Earlicr Door Season

Sen. Vincent A. Martin of Fruit~
port would advance the deer season
ten days so that it would be from
November 5 to 20 instead of Novem-
ber 15 to 30.

Carrying out one of his campaign
promises Governor Fred W. Green is
giving his support to a bill intro—
duced by Sen. Norman B. Horton of
Fruit Ridge which would permit ﬁve
of the seven members of the State
Administrative Board to over-ride
tho Governor's veto of any of their
actions. "I‘his bill has now passed
both the Senate and the House with
no opposing vote, except that of Rep.
Virgil A. Fitch of Ludington who
previously made a name for himself
by being the only member to vote
against the Horton corn borer bill.

Postponement of the ﬁnal date for
the payment of toxes without pen-
alty from January 10 to February 10
as provided in the bill by Rep. Doug-
las Black of Twining has been ap-
proved by the House Committee of
the Whole.

700 More Hospital Beds Needed To Care For Tuberculosis Victims

By THEO. J. WERLE

Executive Secretary. Michigan Tuberculosis Assocaitlon

0 man interested in sheep rais—
ing would invite disaster by
pasturing his sheep in a marsh.

Every man who knows sheep knows
that prolonged exposure on wet
ground means disease and disaster
for sheep. There are ﬁxed principles
in all branches of agriculture and
stock raising which successful farm-
ers do recognize and which guide
them in the plans they make and the
money they spend on land purchases
and building construction. In the
same manner and to fully as large
a degree, men who are interested in
disease'p‘revention have learned sci-
entiﬁc‘facts from observation and re-
search. These facts are their guides
in what they do and recommend that
others do in matters dealing with
humanlife. ‘ .

The legislature of Michigan is at

present considering the question of ,

providing more tuberculosis sans-
.goriurn beds for the tuberculous sick

‘ of masters; in Michigan between
‘- m we

swan and

 

approximately 700 hospital beds be—
low this number.

The proposed program on which
the State might be expected to spend
several million dollars of taxpayers’
money for new buildings and nearly
a million dollars a year ultimately
for up-keep should be of particular
interest to our rural people; ﬁrst,
because the'distinctly rural areas of
Michigan with few exceptions, are
almost entirely without provisiOn for
the tuberculo and second; because
farmers are t‘djbagers and cannot af-
ford to see the"
directed any more
who pays taxes.

Brieﬂy, the situation IS this.
Twenty years ago. or more, the State
of Michigan established a state tu-
berculosis senator-lam. In the light
of- our knowledge of that day, the
highest point in the hilly country
about’three miles from Howell was

tax money mis-
an any one else

     

' chosen for “the site of the senator-1‘
’ PW 5? ' mt t L A

time that much more-than ten years

would be required to reduce tuber—

cul-osis to a negligible disease.

Therefore, the tuberculosis sanatori—

ums of that day were of cheap and

not very durable construction.
\VronL' Ideas

Since 1905 when the bill creating
a State sanatorium passed the legis-
lature, we have learned much about
tuberculosis and tuberculosis hospi—
tals. It still is the most important
cause of death for the age period
18 to 40. It still is a most baffling
enemy of man about which many
things remain unknown. But these
things have been learned in the
years of ﬁghting the disease: First,
that an expos d hill top, instead of
being a good 1) so for a sanctcrium
is really a bad place; the cure
modern tuberculosis hospitals are
not being located as the old State
sanstoriunr at Howell is located.
Second. that hills are good as wind-

that ,  but? that there must be much
 ‘r V}  ‘  1‘...“ i_ V m}

       

level ground close at hand in order
to give patients exercise room with-
out having to pump up or down hill.
Third, that there is much other kind
of sickness among the patients in a.
tuberculosis sanatorium which re«
quires the attention of doctors, sur-
geons, and dentists other than those
who are treating tne patients for
tuberculosis. Fourth, that because
such a staff of experts cannot gen-
erally be maintained in a tubercu—
losis hospital, it is wise to locate
such a hospital near a large "medical
genter so that the doctors can be
called in for consultation at little
expense.

None of these above factors are
available at Howell.
culosis expert who has seen the old
institution has said unhesitatinglih
that if he were given a chance to
begin over again, he would not build
on the old site near Howell,“chiedy
for the reasons given above. - ., ‘j’

The 1925 legislature prayide “a

half million dollars and a commit- ‘

tee to choose the site for an addition.

eighth of an acre in size, and sold them readily at $2 a crate. At that rate an acre
of strawberries would bring in $1,520. Not bad. This picture shows him with his
last load of 24 crates. There’s a rectord for some of you to shoot at. Let's hear

the requirements of Regulation 3
shall be fully met. .
Excluding the ensil‘e’d or shredded

2 includes all corn crop remnants ly—

REGULATION 3. Unfed portions
of corhstalks, corn cobs not stored
for the grain attached thereto, and
other corn remnants, which exist
in a ﬁeld in which corn was grown,
and all coarse stemmed, pithy weeds
within that ﬁeld shall be so treated

ﬁeld procedure, prior to May 1 of
the year succeeding the growth of
corn in that ﬁeld, as to insure that,
between May 1 and June 1 of that
year, no portions of such material
or trash in condition to harbor liv-

face of the ﬁeld after it has been
plo'wed, disced or harrowed or plant-
ed or cultivated. ‘

Reoonunenda’tions and Methods to
Meet Regulation 2

Condition A. Fields Containing
Corn Stubble.

‘1. Where the ﬁeld contains no
crop remnants in condition to har-
bor living borers, other than the
stubble itself, and the farmer wishes
to let the ﬁeld lie fallow_during the
succeeding season, or to plant it
without plowing, he may use on this
ﬁeld and stubble a stubble pulverizer
so operated as to meet Regulation 3.

To be fully effective the stubble
pulverizer must be set and operated
in a manner to destroy the stubble
as far down in the stubs as the borer
ordinarily is known to hibernate;
this is from the ground surface to
an inch or two below the surface.

2. Where the ﬁeld contains, in
addition to the stubble, small crop
remnants of form to harbor living
borers, and if the farmer wishes to
let such ﬁeld lie fallow or to plant
it without plowing, he should clean
such ﬁeld of these remnants either
before or after the proper use of the
stubble pulverizer. A close-toothed
horse rake or a special side—delivery
rake is sometimes used for this
cleaning process especially after the
stubble rows have been beaten down

W, at this _station and over the

from outside of the state for which
great claims were made. These tests

and the experience of many farmers .

show that certiﬁed seed of such
Michigan varieties as the Wolverine
and Worthy consistently give high-
est yields over a wide area. These
varieties were developed by F. A.
Spragg. Plant Breeder. Michigan
State College, and are well adapted
to Michigan, and seed which has
undergone a ﬁeld and after thresh-
ing inspection and which is certiﬁed
by the Michigan Crop Improvement
Association can be purchased at
prices ranging from 90 cents to
$1.46 per bushel. The Michigan
Service
handles this seed\ also. -

In our estimation, it is the best,
available and there is absolutely no
reason for Michigan farmers to pay
exceedingly high prices for seed oats
which tests and experience in the
past have shown to be'not as good
as, or, at the best, no better than,
leading Michigan varieties.——-J. F.

STORES

WE are celebrating with pride and thank-
fulness ourTwenty-ﬁfth or Silver Anni-
versary—With pride for the privilege of serving
the American public—~with thankfulness for the
generous response that has come to our effort.

' Since the Spring day in April, 1902, when Mr.
Penney inaugurated, in a small and inconspicu-
ous manner, a Retail Shopping Service which
was destined to become one of Nation -wide
Helpfulness, a quarter of a century has passed.

It has been a period of notable growth and ex-
pansion, of Winning millions of friends, of serv—
ing them faithfully, of basing achievement
upon the good will of mutual satisfaction.

During all these eventful years, we have been
mindful of our responsibilities to the legion of
patrons who have contributed and are today
contributing, so continuously and so generously,
in helping make our Service one not of proﬁt
alone but of the conﬁdence that rests on good will.

Never for a moment have we knowingly wav-
ered from the responsibility of this relationship.
It has always been to us an inspiration to reach
out for greater things, that we might be the

better prepared to render a Service which should ,
oprove to be more and more beneﬁcial to the in~

creasing numbers who come to. us. '

if Not only is that one little Golden Rule Store of 1902—

now itself grown to far larger propOrtions-still serving
the people in and about Kemmerer, Wyoming, but there
has sprung from its applied principles and policies,
others to a present total of 773 Department Stores,
scattered over 46 States.

All these are children of what we now affectionately
term, The Mother Store; all happily operate in the Ser-
vice of the public under the name of the J. C. Penney
Company. The Founder of this Organization—Mr.James
C. Penney—builded in his pioneering days more endur-
ing and substantially than he knew.

His ideals and practices—square treatment alike to all
always—and the extent to which he packed Value into
every Dollar of purchase—these constitute the pattern
according to which this enormous business has been
shaped and which has caused it to grow until it has
now become a Nation-wide Institution, serving more
than 3,000,000 homes.

The dynamic selective and buying power of the Com-
pany created by its tremendous volume of cash sales,
which, in 1926, amounted to $115,682,737.86, gives a
saving power to the public which means much to the

thrift and to the economic life of the people of every '

community where it operates a Store.

At this milepost in our history, we pause only long
enough to express our thanks to the great American
people for their continued conﬁdence and appreciation
of our efforts in their behalf and to offer the assurance
that in the future as in the past we shall strive to serve
not only well but better and better with each succeeding
business day.

farm went the good word about the new eﬁiciency that
eased the daily work and added to the daily cream
saving. The demand for the ball-bearing machine—
McCORMICK-DEERING—grew by leaps and bounds.
Thousands upon thousands invested in the simpler,
easier-turning, cleaner-skimming separator. Today these
thousands are better friends than ever of the durable
ball-bearing machine.

The best test of success and popularity is the testi-
mony of owners. When you buy a cream separator,
ask the men and women who use McCormick-Deering
day in and day out. Satisfy yourself about every point—
cream saving, cleaning, taming, sanitation, lubrication, sim-
plicity, durability, and service. Go by what they say about
the ball-bearing machine.

Made by the Harvester Company. Sold everywhere
by the McCormick-Deering dealers. You will proﬁt by
investing in a McCormick-Deering Cream Separator.

Fatbening Steers

“ HAVE a carload of feeding steers

that I got on December 15th,

and I am feeding them corn en-
silage and alfalfa hay, also a min-
eral feed. I expect to sell them
a b o u t J u n 6.
With the feed
named would you
advise me to buy
some cotton seed
meal at $38 per
ton or shelled
corn at $1.90 per
hundred weight?
As a paying pro-
, position to make
cattle gain more,
which is the
b es t? I have
enough ensilage

L. w. MEERS and hay’.”—A. T.

St. Johns, Mich.

In answering inquiries like this
one has to consider the quality of
the ensilage and alfalfa now being
fed. As A. T. doesvnot say, We take
it for granted that the ensilage con-
tains an average amount of corn and
that the alfalfa is of good quality.
These two feeds in themselves fur—
nish a good ration and in adding a.
grain feed to these, one would nec-
essarily have to see that the cattle
consumed the hay in sufficient quan—
tities to balance the grain feed. Cot-
ton seed meal is an ideal feed and
is highly recommended where a ra-
tion does not contain sufﬁcient pro-
tein. Alfalfa hay however supplies
protein in large quantities when
enough of it is consumed, and if
A. T. has hogs' with the cattle it
would seem the purchase of corn
would be the best buy, if the cattle
eat all the alfalfa they want. If,
however, the consumption of hay is
not maximum the addition of cot—
ton seed meal along with the corn
would be commendable.

A. T. also asks the following:
“These cattle are lousy. “What can
I do to get rid of same? Is there a
powder one can buy to sprinkle on
cattle to kill the lice?"

In fattening cattle one of the ﬁrst
things to do is to be sure the cattle
are free from lice. Cattle infected

 

with lice will not make the best gain

and the presence of lice will surely
injure'the looks of them, and while
the appearance of the cattle does not
always have a bearing on the gains
they make, it does have a large hear-
ing on the price they will bring.
Smooth, sleek cattle always sell bet-
ter than rough scraggy looking ones,
and with lice present the smooth agi-
pearance will be lacking. The-era '-
cation of lice on cattle is not difﬁcult.
Take a can similar to a baking pow-
der can and punch holes in the cover.
Drive the nail from the inside of the
cover so the roughness will be on
the outside. Fill the can with com—
mon sulphur (such as may be pur—
chased at all drug stores) ,and
sprinkle it along their backs and
necks, letting the rough can cover
work in the hair. This is a. cheap
and efficient remedy which an old

. Alfalfa Yield

This same friend writes ofhis a1-
falfa, “I have 14 acres of alfalfagthat
I sowed in 1925. I used two tons of
lime per acre and inoculated the
seed. Had a good stand, and last
yearcut two loads the ﬁrst cutting,
one load the second, and only 17$
load the third cutting. Would you
think this gradual reduction in,yield
was due to weather conditions or
lack of plant food of some nature?
Would you advise me to drag the
ﬁeld this spring? There are some
spots in this ﬁeld that drowned out.
How could I remedy these?”

This yield of alfalfa is about the
same as was obtained in this section.
Some old ﬁelds stood up under the
dry weather and made a better show—
ing in the second cutting but the
ﬁelds of one or even two year old
alfalfa acted much as A. T.’s did.
This was a result of weather condi-
tions, and not the lack of plant food.
We only cut our ﬁeld twice and the
third cutting would have been well
worth the effort, but for young ﬁelds
of alfalfa we believe a heavy growth
left on for the winter is a ﬁne thing.
One thinks he loses this much hay,
.While the fact is he will get it back
with good interest in the next year’s
crop.

Take the days we are having now
and walk across a ﬁeld where a.
heavy growth was left last fall, and
then step on the ﬁelds where no
growth at all was left. Notice the
difference. There is also a differ—
ence which cannot be determined by
“feeling” of the soil. Ever notice
where a corn shock set on the
ground all Winter and was removed
in the spring and then the ground
plowed and sowed to oats? Almost
invariably the oats are much larger
where the shocks were. Surely the
shocks left no fertility under them.
What, then, is the cause? It is a.
physical effect on the soil caused by
being protected. About the spots
which drowned out. We have never
thought'it paid to try and reseed
them to alfalfa. It will kill out again.
We would rather sow orchard grass
on these spots and drag it in. \It
does not seem to be easily killed out
and is always ready for cutting when
the alfalfa is. We are feeding alfal-
fa hay now which is almost one—third
orchard grass, and it certainly is a.
ﬁne hay. For horses we prefer it
to the straight alfalfa.

We have never taken kindly to
dragging alfalfa. It is said to be
successful in keeping the June grass,
crab grass, etc., out of the ﬁeld, but
we imagine it would take consider-
able dragging to do this. The old
notion was to let alfalfa stand for-
eight or ten years, or until the other
grasses did run the alfalfa out.
Modern practice is to let the alfalfa
stand only as long as it is a good
one, and then put the ﬁeld in the
crop rotation. It used to be expen-

The. McNary-Haugen Bill

When the ‘McNary-Haugen Bill
ﬁrst came before the public and was
taken seriously as a means of “great
aid to American agriculture” by

many people, the writer gave it con—-

siderable study. The more it was
studied the more he was convinced
it was very far from being the pan-
acea for the troubles the farmers
are said to be suffering with, the

«greatest being over-production. ‘Far

too many favored the bill, 'or would
have favored any bill that proposed
aiding the farmer, without .studying
it out. Strange so many oﬂicials of
one kind or another were enthusias-
tic for the bill. They were not
farmers, and seriously, I don’t be-
lieve the dirt farmers of the “Great
Middle West” are half as strong fer
the bill as some officials seem to
think they are. The old law of sup-
ply and demand is no doubt working
some hardship on us farmers today,

but how it is possible for the dear,

government of ours to remove the
supply and let the demand keep up
the price, is beyond my comprehen-
sion. It would seem far more rea—
sonable to increase the demand so
as to consume the supply. We read
of eleven cent cotton. Does the
price you pay for socks and shirts
denote to you that cotton is worth
only one third what it was a little
while ago? Are your. breakfast corn
ﬂakes only half price because corn
is cheap? ' We sold a good cow hide
recently, and the same day paid just
twice what we got for the large Hol-
stein hide for a set of tugs for the
How come?.

"Whenever. conditions are favorable, W. E. Archbold,“
central Ohio farmer, “saves” Clover seed.

He had a nice crop in 1925. Circle No. 1 shows ,a much:
' magniﬁed sample of the seed as it came from his huller.‘

Before selling his seed Archbold cleaned it over his OWn mill.
Circle No. 2 shows how it looked after he had “cleaned” it.

One of Archbold’s neighbors, John Wells,
saw this seed and liked its looks. He bought
ﬁve bushels to sow last spring. ’

The remainder of Archbold’s crop Was pur- ‘
chased by The Albert Dickinson Company,
whose representative also knew its history.

Dickinson re-cleaned this seed with special
machinery. ‘

Circle No. 3 shows the re-cleaned “Pine
Tree” seed.

Circle No._4 shows a sample of what was
taken out in the “Pine Tree” re-cleaning ‘
process.

The microscope revealed, in addition to bits
of stem, immature clover and other inert
matter, seeds of buckhorn, mustard, curled
dock, lamb’s quarters, foxtail and several
other kinds of weeds. ,

These are the weeds that “Jack” Wells '
sowed along with his good seed.

 
 

   
      
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
 
    
 

Weeds so few as to pass unnoticed in a
growing ﬁeld often produce an amazing crop
of weed seeds which only specially designed
machinery will remove. For your protec-
tion, genuine “Pine Tree” farm seeds of
known origin, are packed only in branded ,
bags, sewn with a red string, and sealed with 3

l'State, it is my opinion that a good

steps for cash crops other than the

 

 

 

as representativefot the. condi-
tions existing elsewhere in this

old “stand-by” beets and beans. To
those fortunate enough to be located
Within trucking radius of the larger
cities, I see no reason why the grow-
ing of truck crops should not offer
unusual possibilities to those looking
for new ﬁelds to conquer.

Most farmers have or usually pre-
pare a piece of land suitable for
growing truck crops.

Due to the wide variation in the
planting dates as well as the varia-
tion of the time of. season in which
they mature it is usually possible to
select crops which will ﬁt in well
with other operations on the farm
in question.

It is not a venture requiring a.
large outlay of capital for special
equipment as most of the. work can
be accomplished by tools 'usually
found on the ordinary farm. It
would be advisable to select crops
on which the work involved would
not come at a time when the work
of caring for the regular farm crops
was at its peak.

It would also seem advisable for
the grower to limit himself to one
or two crops rather than small plant—
ings of a large number. By so doing
he is in position to create a market
for his product and in event that
the crop could not be disposed of
locally, there will be a sufficient
amount to pay him to ship through a »
commission house:

Bunched vegetables should usually
be avoided unless the help can be
obtained to grow and prepare for
market a crop of this nature. We
have found the Felins tying machine
to be almost indispensable in grow—
ing bunched crops. It would be im-
possible to recommend any certain
crop to grow as farm cash crops, as
climate, soil, markets, etc. would be
the governing factors in selecting a ‘
crop.

 

MELON ’VARITIES

UDGING. from inquiries I have

J received in regard to melon cul—
ture, I am led to believe that a

good many of our readers are grow—
ing varieties not adapted to Michi-
gan climate. It is hoped that a brief
discussion of varieties will not be
put of place at this time.

We have always conﬁned most of
our plantings to the Sugar Sweet
variety, also known as Knight, Early,
Knight and Sweet Air. This melon l
has been instrumental in creating a
strong market for our melons. It
is a very early, green ﬂeshed melon
of medium size, ripens well up to a
thin ﬁrm rind. The ﬂesh is medium
thick, of ﬁne texture and excellent
quality. ‘

Each year we conduct a ﬁeld test
by planting a few of the newer intro-
ductions side by side with this vari-
ety. In the season of 1925 we se-
lected two very‘ promising varities
and inasmuch s the merits of these
varieties were repeated in our 1926
tests I do not hesitate to recommend 1
them for Michigan culture. Lake
Champlain. This is an extra early,
yellow ﬂeshed melon and excells
anything we have tried in regard
to- quality. Its use is limited how—

ﬁlm New and Finer

 

Oakland announces an entirely new
line of Pontiac Sixes,notably enhanced
in beauty, incorporating numerous re—
ﬁnements in design and carrying new
low prices.

.New Fisher Bodies

Never in any low-priced six have been
achieyed such commanding beauty and
luxury as in this latest achievement of
General Motors. Lending luster to even
the Fisher tradition of masterly crafts—
manship, the new bodies by Fisher are
longer, lower and superbly executed to
the slightest detail.

11'” New Duco Colors

To emphasize their inherent smartness,
all body types are ﬁnished in new com—
binations of Duco colors.

New Beauty and Style

Pontiac Six beauty has always been
outstanding. But now in these new and
ﬁner models has been achieved not
only new beauty but also an arresting
rakishness—the results of a deeper radi-
ator; larger, heavier, and more sweep-
ing crown fenders; and more massive

narrowed to conform to the accepted
custom-built vogue and to provide a
wider arc of visibility. Window ledges
are smartly recessed and ﬁnished in a
contrasting color.

Mechanical Refinements

In addition, the new and ﬁner Pontiac
Six introduces many new features and
reﬁnements in engineering design—
such as tiltingebeam headlights with
foot control, new transmission and
brake levers, a clutch even smoother
and more positive in action and an oil-
sealed universal joint.

Two New Body Types

Two entirely new body types ofcharac—
teristic beauty have been added to the
Pontiac Six line. These are a dashing,
youthful Sport Roadster, ﬁnished in
Lucerne Blue, striped with Faerie Red;
and a 4—passenger Sport Cabriolet, with
Brevoort Green top and fenders, and
body in Cherokee Gray, striped with
orange to rival the vogue and smartness
of the highest priced cars of the day.

TEXT: “Every sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto menrbut the bias-
phemy against the, Spirit shall not be far-
given." llIatthew 12:31.

“ URINIG the last thirty days nine
university students of America
have committed suicide. This

is startling. * * '1‘ Now the question

arises, why this self-destruction of
life?” So runs an editorial in yes-
terday’s press. But what about the
folks that commit spiritual suicide?
0r don’t we have any such? A
number of readers think we have
and are much concerned about this
soul-poison. And is there any coun-
teracting remedy? We have anti—
dotes for many poisons, but what
about this one? What is this sin
that will cause a man who is made

God-imaged, to mar that image into

an unworthy and unforgivable like-

ness of the evil one? And can we be
saved against it?

The so—called unpardonable sin is
deﬁned in our text as blasphemy
against the Holy Spirit. It is a.
state of heart that continually and
deliberately insults the, Spirit of
grace. ‘But ﬁrst of all, we must
answer these questions: Who is the
Holy Spirit? And, how is He re—
lated to Christ and Christianity?
“No man,” says Paul, “can say that
Christ is Lord exCept in the Holy.
Spirit.” Jesus was supreme in His
day. But His day is closed. Since
His departure we have been living
in the dispensation of the Holy Spir—
it; and under his teaching, guidance
and power.‘ God sent him to disciple
the nations and convert the world
into a realm of goodness. Sentence
of doom hangs over the man who
blasphemes this goodness of God in
the world and denies the supremacy
of His spirit. “Ananias, why has
Satan ﬁlled thy heart to lie to the
Holy Spirit,” says Peter. But why
did not Peter tell Ananias that he
was lying against God or his Christ?
Because the Holy Spirit is now su-
preme as God’s appointed successor
of the historical Christ. Peter and
the church were moving on'under his
direction and power. They felt his
operations in their hearts and sur-
rendered to him. But Ananias re-
belled and you know the rest. Ste—
phen, in his defence of Christianity
before a blood—thirsty mob, cried
out, “Ye stiff-necked and uncircum-
cised in heart and ears, ye do always
resist the Holy Spirit."

Now, the point is, that the Holy
Spirit is Gods ﬁnal and fulﬁlled rev—
elation of Himself in the world, and
that He is here in the person of the
Spirit to create increasing goodness
in the hearts of men. He who al—
lows his spiritual capacities to
atrophy and die in this Holy Pres-
ence forfeits all forgiveness. In the
very nature of the case,.there re-
mains no mercy for him for he has
been unmerciful in the rejection of
the Spirit’s favor. “Blessed are the
merciful for they shall obtain
mercy."

There are those here and there
who rail against this age of the
Spirit. They refuse to believe that
the «Spirit is willing to bind the devil
just now. Do they blaspheme against
the Holy Spirit? Well, their heart
state is not without its serious as-
pect. .

But now, we shall take a brief
look at our context. Jesus had
healed a blind and dumb man to the
It 'was truly a
miracle and was recognized as such.
The religious leaders admitted that
Jesus had done something super-
human but they said it was because
he was in league with the unseen
forces of evil. They bore, witness to
the healing but denied the Spirit of
healing. And by judging the Holy
Spirit of power so unvworthily, they
judged themselves. Such malicious
abuse of the Healing Spirit is to for-
feit all healing. ‘* ‘

_So, when the charge was made

that Jesus was in league with Satan,

A personal reply wlll be sent to you

evident as His manner is tender. Let
the reader study the context. The
red lantern of danger is there. The .
Master, in a patient concern for
those who have rebuked His work, is
swingingit across the pathway of
those who may be maliciously blind.
Soon, they might be lost in the outer
darkness though ‘the Light was
pleadingly present. 0, said the
Calm Voice, “You can speak against
the Son of man and it shall be for-
given you, but—” and there fol-
lowed that dreadful note of despair.
Verily, the Son of man had been
itinerating in Palestine as a Teacher’
of ideas that were as “vast as they
were new. *The disciples had been
under his daily tuition. But did
these ideas make them great and
powerful? I hear Peter now in that
last, awful night, denying his Master
not only once, but thrice. Here is
a man, who with all his knowledge
of Christ, lied and swore about Him.
But he is forgiven. So were the rest
of the disciples who were in a. re-
bellious mood. One wonders how
this could be. They had been eager
learners under the Great Teacher,
and had had many wonderful lessons
in love, humility and brotherhood.
But knowledge is not power. What
good is a man who, knows a lot but
has an evil heart? The disciples
knew enough but their hearts yet
lacked the Spirit of creative good—
ness. But one day something un—
usual occurs. The Master had gone
away, and the disciples, timid and
joyless, gathered into a secret cham-
ber to meditate upon recent happen-
ings and to anticipate future ones.
Then, one day, a Marvelous Prescnce
enters the room. The Holy Spirit
comes to grip his children with pow-
er, courage, and certainty. Soon
Peter is on the outside defending
before a great multitude the cause
of renewed joy and strength. He‘
will never be rebellious any more.
Filled with the Spirit, he cries out
to his countrymen to repent that
they might .be saved ‘from the
“crooked generation” ‘that was blas—
pheming the Hely Spirit. “That
they were ﬁlled with new wine” was.
tO'Peter, a mocking and'profaning
of the ‘Gracious Spirit. Peter’s
brethren stubbornly repudiated the
coming of the mind and spirit of
Christ into the world, and thus be-
came the pioneers in the sin that dis-
unites men from God.

But the apostle tells his revil-
ing brothers that they were sinning
through ignorance, but now “Repent
ye therefore that your sins may be
blotted out.” Peter, himself, denied
Christ, and Paul blasphemed, though
he said he did it ignorantly in un~
belief. But both repented and came
within the pale of God’s forgiveness.
Ignorance, weakness,“and careless-
ness, give us a claim upon God's
mercy, but not a willful renunciation
of Christ’s presence and power in
the world. Heb. 10:26. And such
other scriptures as Heb. 6:4-6 and
I John 5:16 probably relate to this
uncurable crime against the Spirit.
But these have reference to no par—
ticular sin of the ﬂesh, of passion, of
impulse, or of mistaken opinions.
They refer to a state of inveterate
wickedness; of a personality whose
rage is stirred up by the presence of
good}. of a. condition of heart to.

_ whom wickedness is food and good.

is poison. This is blasphemy that
knows no repentence and so can
have no forgiveness. Heaven is not
shut against the vilest and most des-
perate of sinners, if there be a show
of penitence. But one can make one-
self incapable of receiving pardon
and cast oneself into outer darkness.
Whatever this means, it is the simple
teaching of the New Testament. But
to fear little sins is to put one in '
the way of avoiding the fatal one.

» AR EDI'I‘ORrivhave been a.
"reader of your paper for some
time and I am interested in

“What the Neighbors Say” very
much. I wish to contribute a, plan

,which I believe might help solve

some of us farmers problems.
The Preident has vetoed the

lMoNary-Haugen relief bill for the

farmers and I am sure he did it with
the best interests of the farmers at
heart. I believe that farmers, in
order to get what they think they
want, should solve their own prob-
lems. I am aware of the fact that
it is impossible to get farmers to
stick together and why is that? For

farmers won’t, as a rule, put up the
money to join farm relief organiza-
tions unless guaranteed a big bonus
or their money ‘back. White collared
gents have always been willing to
tell the farmers how to raise big

crops and “we’ll take care of it at

goodfat salaries.” But, do they
ever tell the farmers to regulate
crop production? I’ll say not, be-
cause it might throw a monkey-
wrench in their well organized ma-
chinery.

Now the question is, can the farm-
ers organize to control crop produc-
tion? I am sure they can because
they .do that_without being organ-
ized, just according to how the price
is on any commodity, whether it be
high or low. If high, the farmer will
increase his acreage and then what
happens—all have to take a low
price; whereas, if well organized
and held steady the good price would
be maintained.

I am going to take beans as an
example. With the bad weather con-
ditions last fall, a good many farm—
ers did not make enough to pay ex-
penses, and what is going to happen
this year? *Some farmers will per-
haps decrease their acreage while
others just on tha account will in-
crease theirs and naturally the price
will likely go lower. Whereas, if
the bean growers of Michigan or any
other state would rise up and say,
"We have fooled along independent-
ly of one' another long enough, let’s
organize and form a bean growers’
union,” no telling' what might hap-
pen. What will this plan cost? Prac-
tically nothing, only the farmers’
time and moral support. .Here’s the
plan. All bean groWers of each
loading point should meet at least
once a month. The ﬁrst meeting
should be just as soon as possible. in
order to get a line on acreage in—
tended for planting.

At the ﬁrst meeting a chairman
and secretary should be elected.
After the chairman has explained the
purpose of the meeting and the
growers present expressed their
opinions, a vote could be taken on
what per cent reduction in acreage
the growers could agree on. If 50
per cent reduction was voted, which
is as it should be, there Would then
be ample crop for next year. A roll
call of all bean growers present
could be taken, giving number of
acres planted last year and what
number of acres this year; that
would give a total acreage for both
years for that loading point. The
secretary of each loading point could
send in to some one at Lansing his
report of acreage intended for
planting. Before the next meeting
the official at Lansing could send to
each loading point the total bean
acreage for Michigan this year.

At the second meeting the grow—
ers would have the State acreage for
discussion. Also any growers not
present at the ﬁrst meeting should
be urged to be present at second
meeting, so as to give a complete
acreage for the State. After planting
time. and as the plants advance in
growth a roll call could be had on
conditions of each bean grower’s
crop. This report of each loading
point could be sent to State head-
quarters and the total report/On con-
ditions of State be sent to each load-
ing point. This would be very im-
portant to growers as they would
have at every meeting a complete
report of their own crop worked out
by themselves. ,

A WONDERFUL SUCCESS

“Nothing succeeds like success,” they say, but where success is
constant and increasing there must be some unusual merit back
i  of it. The continued success of the Auto-Oiled
' Aermotor is based entirely on merit. It has
been made better and better year after year.
Improvements have been added as experience
1 has shown the way. The Auto-Oiled Atrmotor
..a-  of today is -a wonderfully durable and
:5 efﬁcient windmill.
The Aermotor Company, more than 12 years ago,
 solved the problem of complete self-oiling for
windmills in such a way as to make the system
absolutely reliable. The oil circulates to every
, bearing and'retums to the reservoir with never a "
failure. here are no d‘elicateparts to get out of order. The double
gears run in oil in a tightly enclosed gear case. -

’A NEW GAS TAX

UR lawmakers over at Lansing are discussing

some changes in our gasoline tax and sev-

eral different bills are being offered. We
have several times on this page spoken in “favor
of a higher gas tax and a permanent license good
for the life of the .car, and we again want to
come out in favor of such a. tax.

To our way of looking at it the ideal tax would
be a gasoline tax of four cents and a permanent
license for the passenger cars, but continue the
annual weight tax foi- commercial vehicles. We
understand that our legislators have something
before them along this line and we urge our folks
to get in touch with them to urge that they act
favorably whenit comes up for vote.

We have yet to ﬁnd anyone who can prove that
the gasoline tax is not the best and fairest way
to secure funds for building and maintaining
highways and the permanent license idea is pop-
ular. The higher gas tax could be collected for
only slightly more than it is costing us to get the
present one, and by adopting permanent license
plates, good for the life of a car, we would cut a
tuge expense. This new arrangement, according
to the Secretary of State’s office and the State
Highway Department, would bring in as much, if
not more, than our present system, and would
do so with greater fairness.

 

WHAT’S THE MATI‘ER WITH BEANS?

HAT is the matter with the Michigan bean

market? That is the question that was

foremost in the minds of several people
who met week before last in the cities of the
State Commissioner of Agriculture to discuss
ways of improving it.. Many reasons for the
present condition were offered and among them
were excessive moisture, over-production, too
many elevators for the amount of business there
is, misi'epresentation, need for federal grades.
importations of foreign beans, lack of publicity,
and dropping 01! in demand. Perhaps all of them
play some part in making the bean market what
it is today but we feel that if federal grades were
in general use in Michigan, and were compul-
sory, the market would be in better shape than
it is today. It has been admitted by buyers that
cars of 1926 beans have been shipped out of the
State as choice hand picked that were far from
that. In fact, they state it is impossible to make
this last crop CHP because of excessive moisture,
yet some have been sold through misrepresenta-
tion. Perhaps the sellers got away with it in a
few cases but they were found out as a rule-and
they got paid for just what they shipped, not
what they claimed to have shipped. What has
the result been? Wholesale, grocers and can-
ners are now suspicious of Michigan beans be-
cause choice hand picked meaue very little this
year, except to the grower and he sells on that
basis. Compulsory federal grades would make
a lot of difference we are thinking.

Also we believe that Mrs. Dora M. Stockman, of
the, State Grange, hit the nail on the head when
she aid that the boa’u growers themselves were
m‘uluteembeaaeaetheydidaﬂewyeurs

in sight. We feel sure that every person who sat
down: to the tables that evening would have
relished a generous serving of baked beans,
either warm or cold. And that meeting was no
different that hundreds of others about the State.

We must increase our own consumption and
encourage others to use more of them. Farmers
should urge their city friends to ask for Michi-
gan beans atthelr grocers and insist that they get
them. Explain to the friends that the canners
use Michigan beans and they use only the bestso
that their product will be liked and the consump-
tion increased.’

We cannot sell all of our cream and butter and
eat a substitute if we want to build up our dairy
industry, nor can the southern farmer help the
price of cotton by soiling cotton and buying silk.
Let us all eat more beans and boost them to all
you talk with. During the summer many of us
have opportunities to tell tourists about Michigan
beans so we can spread their fame to other states.

“Eat Michigan beans, there are none better."
Make that a slogan.

 

FEWER FARM LOANS IN MICHIGAN
_T is interesting to note from the report of the
Michigan Federation of National Farm Loan
Associations, which held its seventh annual
convention in Grand Rapids recently, that the
Federal Land Bank of St. Paul has lent less
money in Michigan than in any other state in
its district.

The capital loaned in Michigan amounts to
$24,189,000, while in Minnesota it is $38,677,-
700, in North Dakota it is $39,236,700, and in
“Wisconsin it is $29,568,600. Michigan in 1926
had more delinquents than in any of the seven
years that loans have been procurable from the
bank, loss and damage to several crops during
the year being the cause. The bean crop in par—
ticular made ﬁnancial conditions had in many
sections.

 

RURAL POLICE PROTEOI‘ION

‘ECENTLY we talked to Governor Fred W.

Green regarding the activities of the State

Police in the rural sections of Michigan
and he assured us that be appreciated the posi-
tion of the farmers in the matter of police DIO-
tection and he was in favor of the State organ-
ization doing all it could to protect them and
their property. We are pleased to know that the
present administration entertains ideas on this
subject similar to those of the one that passed
out the ﬁrst of the year because of the great need
of protection in the rural sections.

Of course there is the sheriif in each county
and we .believe most of them are doing the best
they can but it is impossible for them to do all
that is asked of them, so they have deputies in

     

(stench work. for  ' ass

The State Police is an organization of many”

trained men and we teelgsure that crime in the

rural sections would decline it

A NEW FEATURE

E are publishing a new feature in this issue.

It is “The Song of the Lazy Farmer.” It

appears in many other term papers that cir-
culate in other states and is very popular with
the readers, so we thought our folks might like it.
If you‘do, let us know; and if you do not, be sure
to tell us. If you like it we will make it a
regular feature, if you don’t we will discontinue ‘-
it. M. B. F. is your paper, your hired man, and
we want to publish only what you want. Let
us hear from you.

 

PETER. PLOW‘S PHILOSOPHY

I noticed that some teller tried to introduce
a bill into Congress about the middle of Febru—
ary to prohibit so much talking on the different
matters to come before the Congress. Shucks,
that bill didn't get to ﬁrst base 'fore it was tagged
out. That teller ought to have knowed better'n
to try to stop a Congressman from talkin'. If a
Congressman couldn’t let oil steam, just like
water does when it boils, why he’d blow up.

INTERNAL RELIEDIES FOR EX-
TERNAL PARASITBS

ECENTLY we warned our read-
R ers against a man giving the

name of R. L. Everett who was
selling a “Never Idle Poultry Tone,"
claimed to be a remedy for poultry
lice" The “Poultry Tone’ was to be
put in the drinking water of the
poultry and he claimed it would
out of business.
And his argument was good enough
to get $10 per gallon for the stuii,
until our folks got wise to it through
our columns, after that he found it
advisable to skip the homes where

M. B. F. was a regular visitor. We
advised turning him over to the

authorities because we
was defrauding the people.

The U. S. Department of Agricul‘
ture has now issued a statement,
covering experiments. their experts
carried out, and they declare that
the internal remedies were useless

r in trying to kill external parasites.
Their result was negative in every
case.

MUSKRAT FARMING
have had a great many in-
quiries recently r e g a r d i n g
muskrat farming. Some were
from folks who wanted to go into
the business themselves while others
were thinking of investing in one of
these muskrat “farms” that . have
been organized in diﬂerent parts of

the country.

No doubt there will be money
made in the game for a time, but

 

how long it will continue proﬁtable’

we are unable to estimate. Muskrats
multiply very rapidly, averaging, it

is said, around thirty for each parent ‘

pair per year. At that rate the sa-
turation point may not be very far
off, although the pelt market is wide.

Most of the muskrat farms we
have heard about are operating on
about the same plan as the fox
ranches did a few years ago. What
has happened to the fox ranches
which were so active for a time?
Most of them have gone out of busi-
ness.

The great trouble with the fox
game was that they sold the foxes on
a breeding stock basis instead of a
pelt basis, which is wrong. But the
same lstrue with the muskrat farms
we have heard of. They are getting
as high as $10 per pair when the
pelts are worth about $1 each. When
the prices get closer together per-
haps it will be a fair proposition
but as it now is handled it must be
regarded as highly speculative.

“ ES, sir, six of the best hogs that I

Jim Barton had been visited by
thieves. That was a bad thing for Jim, but
a 'good one for me, because it gave me the
chance of getting a job on Jim’s farm.
then, too, I had some detective ambitions,
and hoped that perhaps I might be able
to get some trace of the robbers and

hung up the receiver. “Bill, there’s
trouble; thieves working again.”

“Where?” I says.

“Jim, what is it?” “Mrs. Jim tasks.

“Old Lady Shaster has been shot! She

era’s just no"

load. But when I got to the stockyards
I found that Dan Carey was two hogs
short. The gang had visited his place

the night before.

At the same time we learned that an
auto had been smashed up the night be-
fore in front of the collection of junk
that Mike Albert called his feed yard,
where he fattened for market the runts
he picked up around the country. We
went to look at the wreck, and found
that pigs had evidently been given a free
ride in the car. It looked as tho it
might be the car driven by the folks who
had made way with Carney’s hogs.

“Who do you suppose it was ?” I
asked. .
“Can’t say,” said Jim. “The sheriff

ought to be here soon, and maybe he can
tell us.”

Then the sheriff came up.
to hear the worst.

The sheriff, Thomas was his name,
wasn't much. That was my opinion, any-
way, altho he thought he was consider-,
able.

He looked the wreck over casually,
asked a few questions, and said to Jim,
“Well, guess this is Hansen’s car, all
right. It’s a wonder you farmers don’t
take care of your stuff. I been looking
for this old bus all morning. It was stolen
up in the northern part of the county
last night, and old man Hansen has been
on my trail ever since to ﬁnd it. Hope
he will be satisﬁec.”

“Ought to be,” says Jim,” now that
you found it, ’specially since it can't run
no more. Say, seen anything of my hogs '
that I asked you to look up a few days
back?”

The sheriff didn’t act very cordial then.
“No, I ain't; but we’re still looking.
Been too busy looking for a couple of
birds that took a box of books off the
railroad platform over at Carter last
Week. The railroad’s mad, and I gotta
get 'cm or they will make it hot for me.
'Well, I can’t do much here. W111 you
call up my ofﬁce and tell them that the
Hansen car is out here? I’m in a hurry.
If I see your hogs, I’ll let you know.
So long.”

Jim was hot now.

“That’s the sheriff,” he says to me sar-
castic like. “Always willing to hunt up a
crook for the railroad, but if the‘case
gets him out of town he is afraid of
what might happen to him.”

So we went back and I helped load the
hogs into the freight car and stuck
around till the 4:52 frieght came along
and took them to Chicago.

After it was all over and things were
quiet, Jim and I walked up the lane to
1 house.

t1(‘a‘You know, Bill, something’s gotta be
done around here or real criminals are
coming along and we will all be kllled off;
It’s getting so nothing’s safe any more.
Whether that speech was prophetic or
not, I always wonder; ’cause it was only
a few days afterwards when we were
busy preparing for the seeding and had
put in a big day disking down corn stalks
and were all tired at night when. the
phone rang about six short, jerky rings.
We were sitting around getting organized
to start to bed, and the ringing kinda
started us up. Jim jumped right quick
and grabbed the phone. _
“What’s up,” I asks, innocent like.
“General alarm,” Jim. says. “It’s,.some
big news or they wouldn’t ring that way.
Keep still so I can hear.” _ ,
We were quiet as death, the missus
and me, while Jim listened.

So I waited

 

“Sufferingwmackerel !“ saygﬁJim, ,as 

  

"So we went to join in the hunt. I
sure was scared, but I wanted to see just
what had happened.

We arrived at the Shaster place in a
hurry. It was a small place and made
the gathered man—hunters look like a big-
ger crowd than it was. Some of the wo-
men had come along to see what could
be done, and that added to the excite-
ment. Old Lady Shaster lived alone most
of the time. She had a son who worked
out as a hand whenever he could get a
job that suited him, and the rest of the
time he was assistant, to his mother, who
ran quite a poultry farm.

Jim plowed right thru the gang to the
house, me a-following. To our surprise,
we found out the old lady hadn’t been
hit, but that she was scared pink. Seems
that whoever tried to steal the poultry
did shoot, and missed, but the scare was
enough to start things.

When the 'boys heard about the shoot—
ing, they were indignant, to say the least.
The old lady was well liked and they
were mad to think that the thieves had
picked on her. .Some of the gang were
for starting out to hunt the culprits, but
Jim said it was no- use. They probably
were miles away anyhow. There was no
way of telling who they were and what
they looked like. -

The gang talked among themselves
and ﬁnally agreed that if a couple of the
boys stayed all night on guard that it
would help the old lady to get calmed
down and make her feel safe. So Ted
Raymond and his wife were appointed to
stick around and the rest of the gang
started drifting off for home.

I found Jim talking to some of the

bunch, and what he was saying inter—

ested me.

“Look here," Jim was saying; “it’s
about time something was done to curb
this kind of stuff. If these crooks are
going to shoot, we ought to ‘be protected.
I was reading the other day about them
old—time vigilantes and how they worked,
and I'm thinking it might be the thing
for us to do." ‘

“Fine,” says some of the boys.

“Let’s organize,” said another.

“All right," says Jim, and he cleared
his throat and called the men that were
left to listen.

“We can’t stand this wholesale stealing
forever, men. We don’t seem to get much
help from the sheriff, so I propose we
form our own guard. My idea is to start
a vigilante committee and see what we
can do. Let’s start a Millbank Protective
Association. All of us can belong, and
maybe we can stop some of this crime
ourselves.” ‘

Well, maybe the boys were anxious to
get home, and maybe they felt it was a.
good stunt. Anyway, they yelled, “Fine”
“You bet!” “That’s the ticket, Jim!” and
other things.

“No time like the present,” shoutedgvff

and before he ﬁnished, the cheering show-
ed Jim was elected.

"Herman Dain for vice-president,” an-
other voice says. “Frost for secretary

and treasurer. All those in favor holler
ou ." ‘

Just then one of the ladies came out
of the house and announced " that Mrs.
Shaster was feeling better, and that she
had instructed her to serve feoffee, and
it was all ready. . v , _

So the meeting moved to the kitchen,
where the coffee and refreshments were
handed out. Meanwhile, allthe boys were
talking about the new organization and
all were enthusiastic. The moon was
Well up when the boys went home. ’

It was agreed that Jim, Dain and Frost
were to see what could be done to organize
and that a meeting was to be held the
next night at the schoolhouse. Jim re-
marked he didn’t suppose Dain‘ would do
much, as he never did enter into anything
new, but he was sure Frost was a live
Wll‘e.

-I was of a practical turn of mind, and
knowing that the News would be inter-
ested in this new stunt, I found time that
morning to call up the editor and tell
him about the meeting. Also told him
the report about ‘Mrs. Shastcr being shot
was all wrong and that she was 0. K.
The editor said he would be out that
night so as to get a ﬁrst-hand report.

So I ﬁnished thechurning and Went
with Jim later in the day to see that the
teacher didn’t look up the schoolhouse
that night.

“Don’t know just what we will do."
Jim says, “but it’s high time this com-‘
munity took action to stop this wholesale
stealing.”

It was 8 o‘clock when Jim and me went
down to the schoolhouse. Evidently the
word had been passed pretty good about
the meeting cause there sure was a gang
of folks there. My old boss had come
out and he was talking to the boys.
When he spied me he came over and told
me how glad he was I called him. Then
he spoke to Jim and assurred him the
News would give. all the help it could and
said some things to Jim I didn’t catch.

Jim opened the meeting .by telling the
purpose of the gathering and went on to
say how there was no protection in the
country against the thieves that were
stealing anything and everything and
how it had to be stopped. He then told
about some places he had read about
where the farmers had organized to com-
bat the crime era and how it was going
to be done in Millba'nk township.

“Now, folks, all we got to do is get
every one of the folks in the township to
join up. If we all join and pay a couple
of dollars dues that will give us a. hun-
dred dollars to offer for rewards. If we
all sign a note apiece for a couple of
dollars more which will be collectable
when a crook is captured and convicted it
will make it worth any one's.while to
spend a little time looking for the pests.
Who wouldn't be willing to hand out a
ﬁve dollar bill to know that the folks at
home was as safe as if they lived in
town? Why it ought to be worth some-
thing to know that our wimmen folks
won’t be shot when they step out of the
house. As president of this new associa—
tion I am handing to Fred Frost my two
dollars and I will be glad to‘ sign a note
payable to the association on the terms
I mentioned. How about it?"

Well, Jim says he isn’t an orator but
he sure made a dent on these folks. In
ten minutes Fred Frost had checks and
cash amounting to $108 and the rest of
the folks who signed up. as members all
said they would take a list of folks living
in their section and got them to sign up.

The editor of the News made a speech
and was rather sarcastic when he re-
ferred to the sheriff. He got a good hand
by telling the boys he was going to use
the columns of the News to see that crime
was checked and that farmers had as
good protection as railroad box cars.
Herman Dain had to talk too. He was

rather apologetic in referring to the
sheriff and said he felt sure that if more
deputies was put on it would be easier
to keep the laws enforced.

THE FRUIT VARIETY MOVIE
' ARKET preferences and con-
_ ditions sometimes have a dis-
concerted habit of changing,
with the result that the grower ﬁnds
himself with trees of an undesired
variety on his hands.
‘ ' The Duchess
apple is a classic
example of this
condition and
many thousands
of trees of this
_ variety are being
topworked. It
seems reasonably
certain that the

Michigan except
in Seasons when
the s o u t h e r n
. early crop is
Wholly or partly destroyed by frost
or some other reason. It is perhaps
true that the Duchess can be pro-
duced at comparatively low cost but,
nevertheless, the Duchess grower
nowadays is a gambler who is back-
ing Jack Frost against the southern
crop.

Mr. Ralph Rees, President of the
American Pomological Society, re-
cently voiced an interesting opinion
on this matter. Mr. Rees is the au-
thor of an apple survey of the United
States and Canada and is an author-
ity on future trends in the apple in-
dustry, having studied the matter
at ﬁrst hand in many states. He
ﬁnds that early apple planting is
still on the increase in the southern
states and that the market position
of Michigan’s Duchess crop is due
to become increasingly unfavorable
as time goes on.

Another apple variety which has
of late years been showing signs of
weakness is the Grimes Golden. This
variety, unlike the Duchess, is a late
variety of very ﬁne quality. Some
people prefer Grimes above any
other as an eating apple and it is
without doubt an excellent variety.
Certain Ohio cities have long been
known as Grimes markets, but even
there this variety is now said to be
losing its popularity. Apparently
the chief, or only reason for this
backsliding is the outward one of
color. The Grimes is a yellow ap—
ple and that obstreperous person,
the consumer, says he wants red ap-
ples, not yellow ones. On such
slender threads does the fate of
fruit varieties depend!

The whims and preferences of our '
customers may sometimes seem silly
to us but, nevertheless, they must be
served. It is possible that an edu-
cational advertising campaign could
be of some assistance in restoring
the yellow varieties to favor. The
line of least resistance however is to
give the consumer what he wants.
This is the principle upon which most
successful merchandizers build their
business. The advertising campaigns
are then concentrated upon giving
the consumer a clear picture of what
he wants and persuading him to want
more of it. .

Our experience with peaches has
the commercial buyer
wants Elbertas. In former years we
found a good market for Proliﬁcs,
Engles, Salways, and other varieties
whose quality far surpassed that of
the Elbertas. We have, however
been forced to pull out all but the
Elbertas, and, at present it is only
growers with local markets or road-
side stands who can proﬁtably mar-
ket other kinds. Horticultural
speakers and writers have rallied
against the Elberta, calling it a peach
of low quality and an actual detri—
ment to the industry, but all this
does not seem to disturb the old El-
berta, which seems to hold its own
against all comers. The Elberta’s
secrets are its size, its attractive ap—

EAR girls and boys: The elec-

boosters for Mildred Darby and

Thomas McCarthy can say "We told

you so” because they won. Mildred

is the one who suggested the Club,
and she lives on Route 3, out of

Standish. She was made president.

Thomas McCarthy was the only boy

entered in the election and he won

the office of vice president by a close

vote. Thomas lives on Route 7,

near Bad Axe, And you know "who

was elected secretary—treasurer—it
was Uncle Ned. These officers will

serve until February 1, 1928.

Now I hope we can get President

Mildred Darby and Vice President

Thomas McCarthy to send in their

pictures so I can print them on our

page and show everybody how our
oﬂicers look. Don’t you hope so,
girls and boys?

As election is over, let us talk

about the Weather. Hasn’t it been

wonderful? Seems to me that it is
almost too good to be true. I will
frankly confess that I do not like the
real cold, cold days, although I do
enjoy winter. When I was as young
as you I never minded the deep
snow or zero weather but now I am
getting old and cannot stand as

‘ much cold or climb over and through

deep snow banks without puffing
considerably. Even though my long
white whiskers do cover my chest I
feel the cold very much when it
gets around zero.

Spring is a wonderful time of
year anyway, because you see nature
come to life. The buds come out
on the trees and gradually the leaves
form, the grass comes up fresh and

Our Boys and Girls

Dear Uncle Ned :-——-I am a boy thirteen
years of age and am in the seventh grade.
'I have two pets—a dog and a cat. My
dog’s name is Sport and my cat's name
is Goofy. I have tw0 brothers and two
sisters. I would like for some of the
cousins to write to me. We have taken
the M. B. F. for six years and would
like to take six more. I hope to see this
letter in print as I like it very much—‘—
Henry Budd, Route 4, Stockbridge, Mich.
-—-Tha.t is a. rather odd name for a cat,
isn’t it, Henry? Don't believe I ever

[heard of it before.

Dear Uncle Nedz—Have read THE
BUSINESS FARMER but have never written
before. I like the paper ﬁne. Have an-
swered two or three contests but have
never won but am far from discouraged.

I am just a country girl, ﬁve feet, two
inches tall, bobbed hair, light complexion,
blue eyes. Now guess my age. It is be-
tween ten and twenty.

I wrote in answer to Mildred Darby's
letter. I heartily approve of the plan
and am very interested in it. I sincerely
hope we can start the club soon. We’ll
never regret what we do to help someone
else. Do you think so, Uncle Ned?

Will close with high hopes for the Club.

Your niece,—-.Miss Verna Farward, Route
3, Box 120, Sheridan, Michigan.
——-The Club has already started, Verna,
and we want you with us. We are going
to have some great times, I can assure
you.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I am going to write
again.‘ I hope to see this one in print.
I will describe myself. I am thirteen
years old and sixty-ﬁve inches tall. I
am dark complexioned. I live on a nine
acre farm. We have a. dog and one cat.
I am going to tell you about a. ’trip we
once took. It was to a stone quarry.
The title is "A Trip To a Stone Quarry.”

Once upon atimewehadatriptoa.
stone quarry for a. picnic trip. We all
went in an old Ford. We took ice cream
and cake. We sure had some fun. After
We ate we all went for a little walk to
see the stones, we got our feet wet. After
we got through eating and playing we all
jumped into the old Ford and started for
home. We had good luck all the way
home. We all enjoyed our trip to the
stone quarry. I will end my letter now.

 remnants remaining, are picked
up by hand or by the use of a close-
tinedpitch fork.

The dangerous crop remnants, re—
ferred to above, when gathered up
must be burned or otherwise de-
strayed;

3. if the farmer’s plowing equip
,ment is such, and so operated, as to
meet Regulation 3, he may plow the
ﬁeld without the previous use of a
stubble beater.

4. It, the farmer’s plowing equip-
ment is not such, and not so operat-
ed, as to meet, that part of Regula-
tion 3 which refers to the appear-
ance of trash on the surface, the
farmer should use a stubble pulver-
iser, properly operated, prior to the
plowing; or prior to plowing, he
should use a, sharp disc harrow or
any other device he chooses. which
materially assists the plowing oper-
ation to meet Regulation 3. «Break-
ing down the stubble with a pole or
rail, as described under Condition B,
as follows, may assist The use of a
home-made stubble s aver may as-
sist materially.

Condition B. Fields Containing

' Uncut Stalks. ‘

1. Where the farmer Wishes to
let the ﬁeld lie fallow during the
succeeding season or to plant it
without plowing, he must rake and
burn the remaining stalks and other
crop remnants in a manner satisfac-
tory to meet Regulation 3. The
stalks ﬁrst should be broken down
and cut or broken off as much as
possible by a good job of poling or
mowing. '

If poling is done, it is preferable
to perform the operation while the
ground is frozen because the stalks
are then more brittle. A heavy pole
or beam should be used, preferably
one with sharp corners. An old rail-
road rail is used by many farmers
and makes an‘ excellent device.
Some railroads are selling old rails
at practically juﬁk prices for this
purpose. If the pole or rail is not
heavy enough, of such form, and so
operated as to do a good job of ac-
tually breaking off the stalks, the
subsequent raking prOcess will be
greatly handicapped.

The raking process must be thor-
ough; cross raking is often necessary
and is recommended strongly. Sulky
dump rakes, sidedelivery rakes and
the wooden “ﬂop-over" rakes are
used. Special close-toothed sulky
dump rakes are on the market, and
there is evidence that a special side-
delivery rake for corn stalks either
is now or soon will be available.

If the raking. process does not
carry into the windrows all corn
remnants of form to harbor living
borers, then such remnants remain-
ing between the windrows should be
raked into the rows by hand or
otherwise placed in the windrows or
in piles preparatory to burning. As
the ﬁres in the windrows and piles
burn out, unconsumed crop rem-
nants remaining must be raked into
the ﬁres in such manner as to cause
their consumption or to subject them
to sufficient heat to cause the death
of all borers included therein.

In the ﬁelds of this kind which are
not to be plowed, the use of a disc
hart-ow or stalk cutter to break down
stalks preparatory to raking them is
very questionable practice. If the
use of these implements, in place of
the pole. rail or mower. tends to
bury the stalk parts slightly and
thus renders the raking process less
eﬂective, then the use of the disc or
stalk cutter is to be condemned for
this particular purpose and condi-
ti .‘

2. Where the farmer wishes to
plow the ﬁeld preparatory to imme-
diate seeding, and his plowing equip-
ment is such and so operated that he
can meet Regulation 3 without much
previous treatment of the surface

trash, he may proceed with the piow- ‘

in: operation immediately pl'eﬂding

 
 

..    on pole a». previous to
or gardens the dangerous r

ﬁlm-Id I” had .

 

 

ploﬁnz,xah‘d this process is recom-
mended; or discing, or cutting with
a stalk cutter, as hereafter described
under Point 3 may assist materially,
In plowing down or mowing stalks
preparatory to plowing, it is usually
advisable to pole or mow in the di-
rection in which the plowing is to
be‘done. This is especially true in
ﬁelds into which livestock have not
been turned. '

8. Where the tamer wishes to
plow; and his plowing equipment is
not such and not so operated as to
meet Regulation 3 without previous
treatment of the surface trash, then,
preceding the plowing operation, he
should break down, rake and burn
the corn remnants as previously
suggested in Point 1, taking precau-
tions to rake into the ﬁres all re-
maining remnants which the plow
may not fully bury. In case there is
serious objection to raking and burn-
ing the corn remnants, discing and
double discing with a sharp disc har-
row, or thorough treatment with a
sharp stalk cutter, may be substitut-
ed for the burning process providing
the ultimate results fully meet Regu-
lation 3.~

4. Obviously, the single process
of discing or double discing corn
ﬁelds in preparation for seeding,
without previously burning the corn
crop remnants as previously sug-
gested in Point 1, or without pre-
vious or subsequent plowing as sug-
gested in Points 2 and 3, is emphatﬂ
ically condemned, unless the farmer,
after the seeding process meets Reg-
ulation 3 by gathering up and de-
stroying all dangerous crop rem:
nants remainirg on the surface.

Condition 0. Fields Containing
Both Corn Stubble and Corn or Fod-
der Shocks.

1. The corn or fodder shocks
must be”thoroughly destroyed by
ﬁre, or the stalks contained therein
shredded, or the stalks fed out and
the remaining remnants disposed of
as_prescribed in Regulation 2.

2. Such ﬁelds, after the proper
disposal of the shccks, fall under
Condition A as previously men-
tioned. See and apply the directions
under Condition A.

Condition 1). Fields Which Con-
tained Corn the Previous Year but
Whidi Already Have Been Plowed
or Disced or Hal-rowed for the Suc-
ceeding Crop. .

1. If any trash in condition to
harbor living borers appears on the
surface of such ﬁelds, or appears
within the ﬁssures between the clods
of soil, .such trash is a decided men-
ace. If the subsequent tillage oper—
ations will not completely bury such
material prior to May 1, then steps
must be taken to render such ﬁeld
or ﬁelds safe, according to Regula-
tion 3, from May 1 to June 1. If
no other method is possible, all
such trash must be destroyed.

Condition E. Fields Already Seed-
ed and Containing on the Surface
Com CrOp Remnants in Fbrm no
Harbor Living Borers.

1. If the ﬁeld contains such crop
remnants only in the form of undis-
turbed stubble, a stubble pulverizer,
properly used and operated, should
be used.

2. It the ﬁeld contains such crop
remnants only in the form of loose
trash, all such trash should be gath-
ered up and destroyed.

It the ﬁeld contain.» such crop
remnants in the form or both un-
disturbed stubble and loose trash,
each class of this mater! should be
treated according to Poi. ts 1 and 2
directly above.

MGUIA'I'ION 4. Corn ﬁelds or
premises not properly cleaned by
May Ist, may be cleaned at the dis-
cretion of the Commissioner of Agri-
culture aud a charge made against
the owner tor the some.

HODIE FOLKS OFTEN NEED
FIRST AID

’ CCIDENTS are bound to happen
sometime in every home. It
may be months before there is

need for ﬁrst aid, but when the time
comes the mother should be pre-
pared. If she has learned how to use
simple remedies which she has
ready, she need have no fear until
the doctor comes. Extension special-
ists declare that the slightest cut or
scratch should be treated with an
antiseptic as a precaution against
more serious trouble. It is the in-
fection of wounds where the danger
lies. Antiseptics are chemicals used
to make wounds germ free. Tinc-
ture of iodineis one of the best. Two
per cent mecurochrome is good. It
is painless.

No board with rusty nails should
be left lying around. In case of ac—
cident because of rusty nails, the
wound should be washed thoroughly
with a disinfectant. Antiseptic gauze
should be placed over the wound and
the foot bandaged.

In case of dog—bite a doctor should
be sent for. The dog—bite should
also be immediately treated with a
disinfectant and the dog shut up
and watched. The dog may have
been only teased and angered or it
may have rabies. If the dog has
rabies, the child should be treated by
a physician for rabies.

In removing a splinter a sharp
needle should be used. It should
ﬁrst be sterilized in boiling water or
in a ﬂame and allowed to cool before
using. After the removal of the
splinter an antiseptic should be used
on the wound.

In the case of burns which often
occur in the household, if the skin is
not broken, cover the burn with a.

past. “waking soda. Keep this
damp a1... ,..ndage tightly. A blis—
ter should not be broken. In time

the body will absorb it. If necessary
to do so, use a sterilized ﬁne sewing
needle. When the skin is broken in
a burn, cover the spot with carron
oil. Sterilized gauze should be used
on a burn; never cotton batten.

 

HEAIJIHY SWEETS MADE
FROM FRUIT
VERYONE likes sweets that are
made of fruit, and they are not
likely to cause indigestion or
other troubles. Candied fruit, ap-
ple paste and similar confections
may be made from fresh fruits; and
dates, dried ﬁgs, prunes or apricots
may be stuffed.
Apple paste needs little sweeten-
ing and it will keep indeﬁnitely. To

make it, follow these directions:
Wash ‘the 7 apples; cut them in
eighths; cook them in a small

amount of water until they are ten-
der; then press them through a
sieve. Cook the pulp again until it
is thick, stirring it to keep it from
sticking. For each cupful of pulp,
add one—third of a cupful of sugar
and one tablespoonful of corn syrup,
and cook the mixture until "it is
clear.

Turn the paste out on a greased
plate or platter and put in an airy
place ‘to dry. When a ﬁlm forms
over the top, turn the paste on a

cloth over a drying rack or screen.

and, dry it thoroughly. The paste
may “be cut into squares or any
shapes and rolled in powdered or
granulated suganor chopped nuts.
~' Nut meat fondant, marshmallows
.or mixtures of chopped nuts and
,ca-ndied fruits are suggested as ﬁll-
1'35:ng dried fruits. Prunes, apri-
cots, and ﬁgs should be washed and
steamed over a kettle of boiling wa-

ANY pretty patterns for chil-
M dren’s hats are available with
directions so clear that any
mother who is handy with her needle
can make a hat for her little daugh-

The Right of Way When Motoring.—
The technical right of way on the road is
something which must be interpreted with
courtesy and common sense. Generally
speaking, the rule is that the driver on
the right has the right of way at a
street crossing. But there are exceptions,
when mere position does not count. The
right of way law in most states even
instance these exceptions. So, where the
right of way is open to another interpre-
tation, do not think you are always justl-
ﬁed in darting across in front of a car
coming from the left—the man on the
right, for instanct, may have trouble with
his brakes. Common courtesy takes it for
granted that you will let common sense
tell you when not to insist on what‘ you
consider your rights.

The Runner’s Bible

 

God is love. 1 John 4:16.

It will help your understanding to sub-
stitute the word love for the word God
in many scriptural passages. Love is a
synonym for God.

IN THE BAGGAGE COACH AHEAD

On a dark and stormy night, as the train
rattled on,
All the passengers had gone to bed,
Except one young man with a baby in
his arms,
Who set there with o bowed down head.
The innocent one began crying just then,
As though its poor heart would break;
One angry man said, “Make that child
stop~ its noise,
For it’s keeping us all awake."

"Put it out," said another; “don't keep
it in here,
We’ve paid for our berths and want
rest."
But never a word said the man with the
child,

As he fondled it close to his breast.
"Where is its mother? Go take it to her,"
This a lady then softly said,
“I wish that I could,” was the man’s sad
reply,

While the train rolled onward, a husband
sat in tears,

Thinking of the happiness of just a few
short years,

For baby's face brings pictures of a cher—
ished hope that’s dead.

But baby’s cries can’t wake her, in the
baggage coach ahead.
Every eye filled with tears,

story _he told.
Of a wife who was faithful and true,
He told how he’d saved all his earnings
for years,
Just to build a home for two.
How, when heaven had sent them this
sweet little babe,
Their young, happy lives were blest.
His heart seemed to break when he men-
tioned her name,

when his

And, in tears, tried to tell them the
rest.

Every woman arose .to assist with the
child, .
There were mothers and wives on that

train,
And soon was the little one sleeping in
peace.

With no tho’t of sorrow or pain.

Next morning at a station, he bade all“

good-bye,
“God bless you,” he softly said.
Each one had a story to tell in his home,
Of the baggage coach ahead.

  The Spring conditioner
for farm animals ‘

A LONG period of dry feeding tells in ill condition.
Stabled and dry-fed. many animals are afﬂicted with
worms, blood out of order, hair rough, horses' legs
"stocky," bowels irregular, appetite and digestion poor.

Dr. Hess Improved Stock Tonic is a'scientiﬁc prepa-
ration which meets these conditions, and gives all
animals a ﬂying start when they go out on summer
pasture. -

Its tonic and iron properties increase the appetite,
improve the digestion and enrich the blood. The
vermifuges drive out the worms. The laxatives regu-
late the bowels. The diuretics keep the kidneys active.

Give all your animals a spring house-cleaning with
Dr. Hess Improved Stock Tonic and they will be in a.
condition to do their best, with every organ functioning
properly.

Dr. Hess Improved Stock Tonic now supplies in.
correct proportion those valuable minerals, calcium
carbonate, calcium phosphate and potassium iodide,
lacking in the feed and yet so necessary to full growth
and development.

These newly added minerals are especially valuable
to pregnant animals, since they produce a stronger
foetus and a more vigorous offspring. The iodine con—
tent prevents goiter or Hbig neck" and is a speciﬁc in
the prevention of hairless pigs and calves.

Tell your dealer what stock you have. Get from
him suﬂicient Dr. Hess Improved Stock Tonic for all
your animals. Feed as per directions. if you do not
ﬁnd it an excellent springtime conditioner, and if you
do not ﬁnd it pays you well to use it, return the empty
container and the dealer will refund your money or
cancel the charge. We reimburse the dealer.

TUBERCULOSIS EWCATION IN
N 1926_ the first area test of all
cattle in Iron county was con-
ducted. The results of this test
were certainly gratifying as out of
a total of 8,700 head,:on.ly thirty re-
actors were found. This is a triﬂe
over one third of one per cent and
has not been equalled before in any
county in this State. As a result of
this test the county has been (16-,
ciared a Modiﬁed Accredited Area.
Our dairy interests are greatly en:
couraged by this favorable condition.
It is not many years ago since the
ﬁrst pure bred sire was used here
while now ﬁfty-ﬁve per cent of all
rows are being bred to pure bred
sires. As a pioneer county the foun-
dation fog dairying is being placed
on a. stron‘gfoundatlon. Even now
excellent herds of grade Holsteins
and Guernseys can be seen and a few
pure bred herds are being established.
It will not be long before this district
will be ready to supply goodly num-
bers of high class grades to other
districts especially so since practi-
cally all the milk 3 marketed via
the cream route leaving a full supply
of skim milk for calf feeding.
Prices for good grades are very
reasonable as compared with most
other regions and this coupled with
the certainty of disease—free stock
places us in a very favorable posi-
tion—Earl Roberts, County Agri—
cultural Agent.

FEED FARM STOCK GOOD
CULL BEANS

ULL beans may be fed to stock
if they are not seriously dis-
eased, but they should be free
from stones and should be ground
instead of cooked. They contain
about 18.8 per cent of digestable
nutrients and may form 15 to 25

L per cent of a grain mixture for dairy
1‘ cattle, according to the animal hus-

bandry department at the New York
state college of agriculture‘at Ithaca,
N. Y.

A suggested dairy mixture con—

itaining ground beans includes 200

pounds of corn or barley, 400 pounds
of bran or oats, 200 pounds of
ground beans or gluten feed, 100
pounds of cottonseed mea1,~and 100
pounds of "oil meal. In large
amounts, beans are too laxative for
cattle, and they are unpalatable also.

For older cattle, larger amounts

‘may be fed than to younger ones,

and, for fattening they serve the
same purpose as_any high protein
feed. Best results are usually ob—
tained by mixing the ground beans
in an amount not exceeding twenty-
ﬂve per cent with some other low
protein feeds. »

Beans that are not too seriously
damaged may be fed to sheep and
lambs in amounts up to one—fourth
of the total grain ration. They
should be left whole and should be
fed with such feeds as corn or bar-
ley. When legume hay is fed, the
amount of beans should be reduced.

When fed to hogs, they should be
cooked, preferably in water with a
small amount of salt added. They
should not form more than one half
of the grain ration and should be
mixed with other feeds such as corn
or barley. .

 

' dil‘EﬁDING MOLASSES '1‘0 PIGS
lam feeding molasses to pigs two
and one—half months old. How does
it compare in value with other
feeds?——F. K., Elkton, Mich.

00D cane molasses, weighing in

the neighborhood of eleven

pounds per gallon, have approx-.)
imately the same feeding value in“
the ration as does grain when the
molasses are used to replace a small
part of the grain fed. In other words,
if a man was feeding ten pounds of
grain per head daily he could replace
two pounds of grain with molasses
to, excellent advantage. In many
cases where no succulent feed was
being fed such a change would, in-
crease the. results obtained. Onvthe,
other hand. where momma are hit

RAISING GOATB

Can you please tell me what kind‘
of goats are the largest and best for
meat? What is their color and about
how much do they weigh dressed?
——R. C. S., Mich. '

THE Angora goat is the one most
commonly raised for meat and
The other distinct
breeds of goats are milk pro-
ducing animals. The Angora goat
is always white in color and pro-
duces a ﬂeece of mohair which sells
[for somewhat more per pound than.
does wool from sheep. The clip of
mohair, however, as a rule is not as
heavy as a clip of wool from good.
sheep. ~

As a general rule we have not ad-
vised the raising of Angora goats in

Michigan as the sheep is hardier, the g
lambs are easier to raise than kids '~ L
and also grow much more rapidly, f 
attaining more size at six months 0f 
age and also selling for consider- 5’

ably more per pound than do the'
kids. The Angora goat is not as
large as is the sheep, one hundred
pounds being a good weight for an
Angora doe.

Mr. C. E. DeGroft, Reed Springs,
Missouri, is secretary of the,Ameri-
can Angora Goat Breeders Associa-
tion and would be glad to send you
further information regarding these
animals—Geo. A. Brown, Professor

, EAR EDITOR: I wish to say a
L word against using poison pow-
a ,. . do:r on chickens.  am not
" . "keeping. chickens at present nor “for

" the past several years but previous

' to, that raised poultry for a long

‘ ‘ period of yours and in all that time
only employed poison powder once
and then with total results.

I set a hen not knowing she was
an egg-eater and she ate some of
the egg! and died: The poison used
was an insect powder.

My method, as soon as the chicks
are hatched .and dry, is to apply
to top of head and the‘ throat a drop

“each of crude carbolic acid mixed
with about 1-6 vaseiine. Take the
chicks away from the hen and keep
them in a warm- place, covered so
they will not make a noise. Take

~  the hen and wash her well and r‘e-
,” v 1, move all soiled feathers. If she is

ADVICE To “8. “T.W

them for 28 years and taking care
of, them._ I will say first he ought
to have an agreement with his par-
ents when he became of age. Under
the statute of the State of Michigan
he is entitled only to his share the
same as the other heirs. If there is
personal property in question at: the
time of his father’s death he must
be able to prove what belongs to
him in‘ a court or equity. Otherwise.

his father dies is supposed to belong

THE ‘AN’I‘ENNA

Of course we know there is no
aerial as good as an outside aerial.
Now please state the reception and
distance one would get with a good
5 tube set using an indoor curtain
antenna, hung on inside of room.
Curtain antenna is 3 feet wide by
6 feet long. Also distance with good
reception one would get using the
loop aerial.—S. S., Vicksburg, Mich.

ELATIVE to indoor antenna
would say that efficiency de<
pends entirely on sensitivity of

set and distance from stations de-
sired to receive. Usually the indoor
type of aerial is about half as good
as outside. With a ﬁve tube set any
great distance would be nearly pro-
hibitive. This, same applies to the
loop aerial. This latter type of aerial
must have a supersensitive set if
the best results are to be obtained.
Plain reception will be had with a.
small speaker but the tone quality
will not be entirely natural.

CATARAOT

Am writing to ask if there is a
cure for a cataract on one of my
horse’s eyes. It covers one eye and
is partly over the other.——-A. 8., Im-
lay City, Michigan.

OM what you say about your

horse’s eyes I am of the opin-

ion that there is nothing that
can be done now and that the ani-
mal will soon go blind. You might
get some yellow oxide of mercury
ointment one-half per cent and place
this in the eyes night and morning.
Also give the horse 15 grain doses
of potassium iodide on the feed night
and morning for 5 or 6 weeks.

FEED MAY LACK MINERAL
I have 6 head of pure bred Jersey
cows and heifers. Come in heat
reguarly until bred. Four of them
now come in heat from '30 to 50 days
after being bred. Had them T. B.
tested. What is' wrong?.—-——F. P.
Bradley, Mich.
HERE are a number of things
"that might cause this but rest
assured that the testing for T.
B. had nothing at all to do with it.
It is most likely due to some error
in feeding; probably they are not
getting enough minerals in their
ration. Would suggest that you sup-
ply each cow with 5 to 6 tablespoon-
fuls of special steamed bonemeal on
her feed each day. It might also be
well for you to have your druggist
ﬁx you up some potassium iodide so
that you can give each cow 5 to 10

    

.grains once or twice daily on her

feed for a few weeks. If you give
much more than this it may turn
the milk bitter.

'ABORTION

My cows have contagious abortion.
Is there any way to cure the disease?
—-Reader, Kent City, Mich.

THINK abortion can be cleaned

up; have your veterinarian treat

them with a vaccine, not a bac-
terin or anything else but a vaccine;
either Pitman—Moores or Mulfords.
Then do this each year for at least
two years and three if necessary. In
addition to this clean up and dis-
infect after each abortion and keep
the aborters away from all other
cows for at least one month after
they abort. It takes time so do not
expect to get it under control at
once. The vaccine will keep it from
spreading to cows that are not af-
fected so in two years you should
have it under control but cows that
are now aﬁected would.no doubt
abort any way but new ones would
not get it. » .

TREATING COLIC
Please publish a cure for colic and
a cure for indigestion in horses.—
Subscriber, Lennon, Mich.
OLIC and indigestion are the
same thing. owd. nux vomica,
3 ounces; ammonium carbonate,

 

-5 ounces; powd. ginger, 3 ounces.

Give one heaping tablespoonful in a
little water as a drench or with a
dose syringe every two hours for 4
or‘ 5 doses; if this does not'bring
about a. cure better call a veterin—
arian.

 

CHRONIC CONDITION

Please give advice in regards to

the whites, a disease of mares. I
have one young mare which I un-
derstand has the whites—W. H. B.,
Bendon, Mich.

HIS is a chronic condition aﬁect—
ing the uterus and fallopian
tubes of mares: only the most

valuable show horses or breeding
stock would be worth treating for
it would take a, long time and would
be veryexpensive; you would ﬁnd
it necessary to get your veterinarian
to give the treatments; better see

_ him- about thisparicular case.

peach but seems to be rather diffi-
cult to grow. Its blossoms are self
sterile and require the presence of
other blossoms and plenty of bees
to bring about proper pollination.
Many growers have also found the
trees rather weak and hard to grow.
Considering all things the Elberta. is
probably destined to continue its
rule until another variety is found
which has all its good features plus
the additional one of ﬁne quality.

The Champion, 9. grape of rather
low quality, is another fruit vari-
ety for which oblivion has been pre-
dicted, because of competitiontrom
early‘ Concorde grown in Missouri
and Arkansas. In the southern part
of Michigan's grape belt, however, it
has thus far proved to be a die—hard
and is still grown with proﬁt. No
one knows, however, when its death-
knell may be sounded and the
grower should hold his grafting
tools in readiness.

RED SPIDER -

Could you tell me what is the mat-
ter with my red raspberries? I set
them out last spring. They grew
very nicely until in August I noticed
the leaves were curling and there
seems something like mold on the
under side—A. T. S., Rhodes, Mich-
igan.

UDGING from your description we
would say that your red raspber-
ries are suﬂering from the red

spider.. This is a very small louse-
like insect which lives on the under
side of the leaves and sucks the
juice from the leaves. In order to
protect themselves they spin a mass
of very ﬁne silky webs. These webs
are what you took for mold.
spider does its work during the
warm weather and is usually at its
worst in a dry spell. To kill these
insects we would recommend that
you dust your plants with ﬁnely
powdered sulphur. Regular dusting
sulphur wouldbe best. A hand dust-
er which would shoot the dust to the
under side of the leaves should do
very well.

If you prefer to spray you can use
one pound of ﬁne powdered sulphur
and a little soap to three gallons of
water. The sulphur is very apt to
settle to the bottom and the mixture
'should be kept thoroughly agitated
all the time.

No doubt, this plan may sound
visionary to some, but I am sure it
is sound ﬁnancially. As I said be—

only their time, and their willingness
to put something across that will
not only help others but will help

“Mrs. Rhoades’ letter will no doubt

 

the of utmost interest to poultry rais-

‘era who have had serious losses from
White Diarrhea. We will let Mrs.
Wes tell it in her own words:
“Dear ‘Sir: I see reports of so
many losing their little chicks with
White Diarrhea, so thought I would
tell my experience. My first incuba—

tor~ chicks when but a few days old, .

began to die by the dozens with
White Diarrhea. I tried different
remedies and was about discouraged
with the chicken business. Finally, I

I sent to the Walker Remedy Co.,\

Dept. 528, Waterloo, In... for a $1.00
box of their Walko White Diarrhea
Remedy. It's just the only thing
for this terrible disease. We raised
7,00 thrifty, healthy chicks and never
lost a single chick after the first
dose.”-——Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shen-
andoah, Iowa.

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by mi-
croscopic 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 White Diarrhea. Don't
wait until it kills half your chicks.
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. Prevent it. Give
Walko in all drinking water for the
ﬁrst two weeks and you won't lose
one chick where you lost hundreds
before. These letters prove it:

 

 

Never Lost a Single Chick
Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share
of chicks from White Diarrhea. Fi-
nally I sent for two packages of
Walko. 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 chicks strength and vigor; they
develop quicker and feather earlier.

Never Lost One After  Dos

Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw writes: “I
used to lose a great many chicks
from White Diarrhea, tried many
remedies and was about discouraged.
As a last resort I sent to the Walker
Remedy 00., Dept. 528, Waterloo,
Iowa, for their Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy.‘ I used two We pack-
ages, raised 300 White Wyandottes
a d never lost one or had one sick
agar giving the medicine and my
chickens are larger and healthier
than ever before. I have found this
company thoroughly reliable and
always get the remedy by return
mail.”—-—-Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw, Bea-
consﬁeld, Iowa.

rhea Remedy entirely at our risk—-

ﬁnd you won’t lose one chick where
you lost dozens before. It’s a posi-
tive fact. You run no risk. We guar-
antee to refund your money prompt—

' ABY chick ‘- raising is really a
sentially fundamental facts are
borne inimind. The proof that this
is true is that millions of chicks are
raised by five or six million people
each year,"often with poor or no
method in caring for the chicks.
There are heavy losses in chick rais-
ing owing to this want of method or
improper method. These losses oc-
cur largely in the first two weeks.

Let’s take it forgranted that your
chicks are well hatched, strong and
sturdy and you have the proper
house, breeder, and other equip-
ment. v '

Then the three very fundamental
things necessary for you to furnish
your chicks to make your chick rais-
ing highly successful are proper
feeding, necessary warmth, and
healthful sanitation.

Proper feeding includes the prop-
er kind of feed, as well as the way of
lgiving the feed. Here it must be
iborne in mind that the chick for
two weeks requires very nourishing
food and one easily digested. Mash-
es are gaining ground in chick rais-
ing. Many chick raisers feed a ﬁnely
ground mash as the ﬁrst and only
feed in'the chick's early life. The
mash is placed before the chicks in
shallow pansat ﬁrst and in feed
hoppers later on. They are encour-
aged to eat mash all the time. They
will not over eat on a dry mash.
Finely cracked grains may be fed
occasionally but are not cesential.
A good mash and to eat lots of it is
essential. There are many good
chick mashes for sale. Also you will
ﬁnd good formulas for chick mashes
in this paper. Buttermilk in some
form is needed by the chicks and is
furnished in most of the ready pre—
pared mashes. You cannot feed too
much buttermilk. Some good chick
raisers give buttermilk as the one
and only drink for chicks.

A damp mash can be fed in lim-
ited amounts once a day. The chicks
should clean it all up in twenty
minutes. Barely dampen the mash
with some form of milk. Do not
feed sloppy, sour, or too much damp
mash as it will cause bowel trouble.

All the warmth a chick needs,

when it needs it, is the second es-

simple matter if only a few es- ‘

 

sential. With it goes good, pure
fresh air. It is easy enough to sup-
ply the chick with plenty of warmth,
if doors and windows are closed
tight and the breeder stove set run-
ning. But this way you will have a
heavy gaseous air that ‘is harmful.
See that there is ventilation in the
house, and plenty of heat in the
breeder stove also. The stove must
be a uniform heat night and day. To
allow the fire to go out will chill the
chicks and bowel trouble is sure to
follow. Give chicks access to'heat
and they will choose from 95 to 100,
degrees. So manage to keep your
stove hot enodgh to furnish this
amount of heat over wide enough
floor space to care for all the chicks.
Don’t crowd to many chicks in a
house or under one broader stove.

Last, and just as important as
any, is healthful sanitation. This in-
cludes washing and disinfecting the
drinking fountains daily. Droppings
and filth must be removed often and
clean litter replaced on“ the floor.
Mites and lice must never be al-
lowed to enter. To prevent these
vermin spray weekly on the walls,
ﬂoors and roosting boards with a
good. disinfectant. Yards and runs
must be fresh and sweet with grow-
ing vegetation on them, and not
ﬁlthy or bars. ‘

Amco summo- [
  & aaowmo MASH

THOUSANDS of poultrymen are
discarding special chick starters
as inefﬁcient, costly, and out-dated.
For several years, in fact, colleges of
agriculture and many poultrymen
have used one mash for their chicks
from 48 hours to maturity. with re-
duced chick mortality and greater
economy.

Therefore, in making available to

poultrymen a single, ready-mixed

mash for starting chicks and growing

them, Amco follows the best poultry

feeding practice. Of course, AMCO

STARTING AND GROWING MASH is
I mixed on a public formula.

3' By discarding its special chick
, starter, Amco effects economies in
. mixing and distribution which are
;passed on to Amco patrons. The
extent of these economies can best be
measured by comparing the price of
any secret formula special chick
starter with the price of AMCO START-

WHAT IS W'RONG?

For some time my hens have been
dying off. They would ﬁrst limp
and after a while die. Sometimes
a few days is all they dumped about
and again two weeks. Some I
opened had spots on their liver.
Often they would be heavy hens and
quite fat, then again poor in body.
This week a hen was killed by mis-
take that appeared to be in good
shape. Its liver I discovered was
lighter in color, no spots were on it,
but beside the part where the eggs
are was a blackish growth the size
of .two kidney beans. It was
rather pointed at one end andinside
this casing was meaty dark, very
dark red hard substance, another
such growth adhered.to the outside
of an intestine in that same region.
The hen was real fat. They have
layed good all summer, are Leghorns
and have been fed wheat, oats, corn
and a mash all su mer till now. In
summer or spring hey have a diar-

It’s easy to stop chicks dying from
white diarrhea. All you need do is ,
drop an Avrcol tablet in the drinking
water. Thousands of poultry raisers, . ,
year after.year, raise nearly every chick
by this Simple precaution. Mrs. . E.
Franks, Ramsdell, Tex., writes: "I was
losmg 10 to 15 chicks a day before I re-
ceived the Avicol. I haven’t lost one since.”
A free test of Avicol will show ,how
easily white diarrhea is prevented and
stopped. The way it makes sick chicks
lively and healthy, in just a few hours,
is positively amazing. If you have never
tried Avicol, write for a free sample, or
send 500 for a full-sized package, to Bur-
rell-Dugger Co., 835 Postal Station Bldg.,
Indianapolis, Ind. It costs nothing to try
the 500 package, because Avicol is guar-
anteed to do the work or moneyrefunded.
But if you prefer, try the free sample ﬁrst.

. Corn Prices Have Gone Too Low
Farmers Are Flooding Market With Hogs—Outlook For Wheat 15 Good '

‘ fairly well.

By w. w. Foo'rE, Market Editor. - '

ARMERS are doing much better
'in several lines than is reported
in some quarters, and the live

stock business is making an especial—
ly favorable showing, taking one
month with another. It is true that
hogs have been selling below prices
paid one and two years ago, yet they
are still the best money makers of
all. Well ﬁnished beef cattle are
in inadequate supply in feeding dis—
tricts, and greatly curtailed market:
ings at all packing points have made
lively competition between buyers
and run prices up to unexpectedly
high. levels, with a big premium for
prime heavy steers, while a year ago
little yearlings sold at the top. The
sheep industry, so important In
Michigan, has prospered greatly, and
fat lambs have sold much higher
than a year ago because of short of-
ferings in western stock yards, while
farmers have been good buyers of
shearing and feeding lambs in Chi-
cago and other large markets when-
ever prices were not too high. It is
the old law of supply and demand
that is working. The country is ex—
tremely prosperous, workers are well
employed at the highest wages by
far ever paid, and the people are
spending money as never before.
' Corn Has Sold Too Low

It is the opinion of careful observ—
ers that, taking into due considera-
tion the supply of merchantable corn
of last year’s crop and the prospect
of a curtailment of the corn acreage
this year, prices have gone too low,
but values are subject to supply and
demand, and too much eagerness on
the part of farmers to sell has
caused many drops.

Most of the spring so far the
course of the wheat market has been
rather unsatisfactory to holders, the
occasional fair upturns being fol-
lowed by reactions. May wheat has
climbed ,now and then to around
$1.42 a bushel, followed by breaks
of a few cents, and within a short
time it has sold down to $1.36, com—
paring with $1.66 a year ago, while
a little over two years ago it sold on
the Chicago Board of Trade at $1.62.
There is a comparatively small spec—
ulative interest in Wheat at this
time, and federal legislation in re—
cent years has tended to discourage
such trading and also to check
marked advances in prices for future
delivery. Of late supply and demand
have been pretty well balanced. The
present outlook for winter wheat is
unusually good, and in most districts
as well as in the spring grain terri-
tory, the ground is reported to have
plenty of moisture. It now seems
likely that there will be less than
the usual abandonment of winter
wheat acreage, the average curtail-
ment for the last ﬁve years having
been about 13.4 per cent.

Hogs Marketed Daily

Hogs have been marketed so liber-
ally of late in Chicago, Omaha, Sioux
City and other important packing
points by farmers who have appar-
ently lost faith in the future that the
packers were in a position to dictate
terms, and prices were marked down
at different times. The best strength
of the market comes from purchases
made by eastern packers in the Chi—
cago stock yards, choice light bacon
weights being mostly wanted, and it
is these that bring much the highest
prices, heavy hogs going at a large
discount, as they comprise the great-
or part of the daily offerings. Even
on ‘some days of limited receipts
prices went off, and at one time
prices were the lowest in .over a
year notwithstanding the fact that
.the offerings were the smallest for
the year and below normal for the
season, showing a large falling of!
from the ﬁve year average.

LATEST NEWS ON THE \VILSON CASE
AST week the court convened at Stanton and tried the two thieves
who were with Edward Sixbury, the man shot by L. J. Wilson of
Grecnville when he caught him coming from his chicken coop

at midnight.

Wm. Telfor was ﬁrst tried and promptly convicted. Next

the case of Harry Sixbury, brother of the dead man, was brought up

and he too was found guilty.

They are to be sentenced after Mr. Wil-

son‘s trial which is on this week and may be settled before you read

this.

Money to help Mr. Wilson in his ﬁght for liberty is; coming in every '
day and indications are that there will be several hundred dollars

before we get through with it.

We do not know how much it is going

to cost Mr. Wilson but we hope there will be more than enough to take

care of his expenses.

If there is any left over it will remain Ll the

bank in the L. J. W'ilso-n Defense Fund to collect interest until needed

to defend any farmer

any case that we believe worthy of support.

Large supplies are offered both here

Continued weakness in the corn

CHICAGO—Hogr trade was fully steady
at the citse of week with demand active.
Most good racking animals brought $10.30
and down. Heavy hogs are now at the
lowest point since 1925. . Prices compu-
ed with $12.30 paid out for the beat a
week ago. Out of the run of 4,003 daip- ‘
pers took 1,000. . ‘~’

The supply of cattle was only. 200. '
No good steers wene ottersdd'nd the mar-
ket was only nominal. For the Week the
general steer 'market was -‘25@50‘ cents
lower. Medium and plainaer grades..m- v
ed the least decline. Cows and heifers '
dropped 25@40 cents while, veal calves
were off $1. Bulls closed 25 cents higher.

Sheep trade was steady on a light eup- 
ply. Receipts were 3.000, but most or
these went to packers so that the market
was of little account. ‘

tinue a tuberculosis hospital on the

 

old institution is practically junk, or
they would not have introduced

sary to build an entire, new hospital.
Second, that a new institution be
built at Ann Arbor with a capacity
of about 250 beds. Third, that an-
other 250 bed institution be pro-
vided for ultimately, somewhere in
the northern part of the lower pen-
insula, to provide care for the hun-
dreds of people now dying in that
area where no sanatoriums now
exist. Fourth, that the entire tuber-
culosis sanatorium program for the
State be put into the hands or a
state tuberculosis sanatorium com-
mission.

versity hospital, it. was not done with

at a place and under conditions
which promised to be as near ideal
for the purpose as it seems DOSSible
to ﬁnd anywhere in the State.
(kt Considerations
The three outstanding considera-
tions which no other site in the
State oﬂers are these: First, oppor—
tunity for research in this still some-
what obscure disease. This oppor-
tunity is available at Ann Arbor be—

sity are available there. Second, op—
portunity for study and training of
the young men who are to be Michi—
gan’s doctors tomorrow. Third, the
site is attractive, already owned by
the State and has available light,
heat, water, power, and sewage dis-
posal by merely hooking on the
already existing university hospital

system.

Best Program
The program which seems the
most sensible one in the light of all
past experience and scientiﬁc ad-
vance in dealing with this disease
seems to be this: First, that the
sanatorium at Howell be rehabilitat-
ed sufficiently to make it safe for the
continued care of tuberculosis pa—
tients until a new modern hospital
can be made ready. Much money
but not the huge sums asked for
wlil he needed for this purpose, and
it is sate to predict that some six to
ten years will be required before
new hospitals sufficient to take prop-
er care of our most pressing needs
