’L. J. WILSON

The Montcalm county farmer who was
acquitted for protecting his property with
firearms.

UESDAY morning, March 22,
1927, an epoch making day in
the history of agriculture in

Michigan, dawned bright and fair
over the little city of Stanton, the
county seat of Montcalm county,
where L. J. Wilson—the man whose
riﬂe shot was heard all Over Michi-
gan—was to be tried for man—
slaughter for protecting his property
against chicken thieves on the night
of November 24, 1926.

Long before the hour of the, trial
farmers for miles around were ‘driv—
ing into Stanton and many came
from throughout the state. As early
as seven o’clock in the morning the
choice seats in the court room were
selected and one hour before the
trial not a vacant seat could be
found. Folks were sitting on the
window sills and camp chairs Were
beingbrought in ﬁlling’ up the aisles.
When the trial ﬁnally opened even
the corridors were crowded and the
doors of the court room were left
open so those standing in the halls
might hear the case.

Babies in their mothers’ arms
were there in numbers, fathers and
mothers came with their sons and
daughters, mere boys and girls were
there, who for years to come will re-
late the incidents of the great trial,
and grandfathers and grandmothers
were 'there as well to learn whether
or not their sons could still protect
their property as they themselves
had been able to do in the pioneer
days. The great crowd was made
up of hardy sons of the soil, many
coming in their working clothes,
while others were dressed up in gala
day fashion. One viewing this great
multitude of farmers could not help
but feel the importance and serious—
ness of the occasion to these farmers
for here was to be answered, the
question—~perhaps for all time—~as
to whether or not a farmer was still
lord of his own castle, whether it

‘would be safe for him to go on rais—

ing chickens and other produce that
could easily be carried away or must
he surrender and peacefully watch
the preying thieves carry away his
property. ‘ .

They were there also to rally to
the aid of one of their folks for
truly L. J. Wilson stood as the per-
soniﬁcation of every farmer in Mich-
igan. He was their own and they
L. J. Wilson had
done nothing but what every red—
blooded farmer would have done

under like circumstances—he was
; the farmers’

hero and, they were
there to see him vindicated. - "

or not they had signed or circulated
a petition in Wilson’s behalf, and six
of the original twelve men said they
had; even the lone, banker on the
jury had signed one of the petitions.
TWenty—one men were called before
twelve were ﬁnally selected.

Sophus Johnson, one of Wilson’s
attorneys, challenged the jury in
Wilson’s behalf. Attorney Johnson
had come from Grand Rapids to help
his school boy friend in his hour of
trial.

Prosecutor Brake in stating the
case to the jury said the facts in the
case were such that a trial by jury
was necessary to settle the case. He
pointed out that Wilson was charged
with manslaughter and that the case
was not one of the defense of prop—
erty for when Wilson discovered Ted
Sixbury running away from his
chicken coop without any chickens
on his person the 'question of de—
fense of property was not involved.
According to Prosecutor Brake the
question was whether Wilson was
trying to make an arrest and if so
could he not have made such an ar—
rest without shooting the .man.

Defense Attorney C. B. ‘Rarden
called Dr. Weaver of Greenville as
his ﬁrst witness. Dr. Weaver testi—
ﬁed that he was called to the Green—
ville Hospital about one o’clock on
last Thanksgiving morning and there
found Ted Sixbury in a condition of

800 Spectators Approve Decision of Jury After 10 Minutes Deliberation

By ROBERT J. McCOLGAN

came home Telfor told him Ted had
been there looking for him and
Harry said, “Well, let’s go over and
see what he wants." Telfor and
Harry went over to Ted’s home and
it was there proposed that they have
a chicken dinner at midnight. Mrs.
Ted Sixbury had retired and was
asked to get up and go over to Har—
ry’s house for a feed. She did so
and on the way back they picked up
another girl, Pearl Marsh, and they
all went over to Harry’s home. There
was some discussion at Harry’s home
as to who was to furnish the chick—
ens, Ted insisting that he would do
so. This was agreed to, and Ted,
Harry and Telfor left for the home
of Rasty Peterson, 3. brother—in-law
of Ted’s, where it was said that Ted
got out ofthe car and was in Rasty’s
house a few minutes. When he re—.
turned to the car he dropped a key
on the running board. Ted remarked
that everything was all right and
told Harry to drive over to L. J.’s,
meaning Wilson’s home. They
drove past the Wilson home on past
the driveway and .slowed the car up
below the barn and Harry turned the
lights from bright to dim. Ted and
Telfor alighting from the car
sneaked around behind the barn up
to the Wilson chicken coop. Ted,

profound shock. He said Sixbury
had been drinking and that it was
impossible for him to state just
what ﬁnally caused Sixbury’s death
and he was quite positive that the
shot ﬁred by Wilson had not been
the sole cause of death. He explained
where Sixbury was wounded, the
bullet entering the body on the right
side a little to the front of the right
hip pocket, coming out on the left
side of the body in a downward di—
rection. He stated that the bullet
had not been in the path of vital
organs which would cause immediate
death. Dr. Weaver did not waver
during cross examination by Prose-
cutor Brake.

William Telfor Called

William Telfor was called by the
State as their star witness but he
Iproved equally as good for the de-
fense. Telfor is the man. who was
convicted along- with Harry Sixbury
for attempted burglary in connec—
tion with stealing Mr. Wilson’s
chickens. Telfor testiﬁed that on
the evening of November 24, 1926
he met his girl friend and while he
was getting a hair cut and shave had
her go and purchase a couple of
chickens for Thanksgiving dinner to
be given at the home of Harry Six-
bury. After. having supper together

while attempting to unlock the
lock, seemed to have some trouble
and Telfor asked him if he wanted
to light a match and Ted said no, not
to light a match but to watch the
house. At this point Mr. Wilson and
his son, Ralph, came running from
the house and Ted said, “Come on,
let’s beat it.” Ted started to run
but Telfor stood still. L. J. Wilson
shouted, “What are you doing
around that chicken coop?” He then
shouted, “Halt, stop or I’ll shoot.”
He repeated this two or three times
but Ted Sixbury kept on running,
Wilson in pursuit. Wilson partly
raised his gun and ﬁred. Sixbury
did not stop running until Wilson
ﬁnally caught him and after a tussle
he was ﬁnally thrown to the ground.
Telfor said that after Wilson had
shot that he yelled for him not to
shoot again as the man was a friend
of his and the head of a family.
Telfor continued his testimony stat—
ing that Wilson did not know who

lean down and he told‘him who he

was and Wilson’s reply was

it. I wouldn‘t have had it happen

for one hundred dollars—~yes,
hundred dollars.”

Upon cross exam-

ination Telfor stated that neither he
nor Ted Sixbury were armed and

that neither he nor Ted had gotten

any chickens out of Wilson’s coop.

L. J. Wilson about

Edward Bopp and Harold Inger-

home both testiﬁed that they had
seen Ted \Sixbury on the night in

he was very drunk.

Deputy Sheriff Irving Forrest tes-

tiﬁed that Wilson had stated at the.

At this time court was adjourned

whole thing hap—

for the noon recess of one hour. The;

judge, jury, lawyers, and court at-
tendants together with newspaper
men were the only ones to leave the
court room. The spectators, most
of whom had brought lunches, de—
cided that seats were too valuable
to give up.

John W. Nickerson, Justice of the
Peace at Stanton, was the ﬁrst wit—;
ness called after dinner. He testi-}
ﬁed that at the original hearing Wilﬂ
son had stated “I am sorry this oc—l
curred. I had no intention to kill.'
I shot to wing the man and I felt I
had a right to do so.”

At this point Attorney Rarden, for,
the defense, asked the court for a
directed verdict but Judge Hawley
refused to grant it on the ground:
that a felony had been committed at
the Wilson home on the night of!
November 24 and it was a question
for the jury to decide whether Mr.‘
Wilson was attempting to make an.
arrest of Sixbury and whether he
committed the act in anger or re-‘l
venge and in so doing whether orj
not he committed an unlawful act by,;
shooting. E

Ralph Wilson was then called to
the stand and related that he had}
returned home between eleven and
twelve o’clock on the night of No~

ly, but they grind exceedingly
small.” So goes the old say-
ing of which I am reminded byde-

velopments down here in the Legis- _
«lature. Progress of bills in which

Michigan farmers are most interested
has beenata snail’s pace, but I am
glad to report that it is not entirely
imperceptible. In fact in the two
weeks which roll around between is-
sues of THE BUSINESS FABMEB there
are altogether too many develop—
ments to chronicle fully in this brief
summary. ' t'

Your guess is as good as mine
to what will ﬁnally be done regard-
ing gas and weight tax amendments.
I would feel pretty safe in betting
that this problem will drag along
unsolved and nothing he done' about
it and then next fall we might look
for a special session of the Legislat-
ure to take action along this line.

Governor Green maintains that, he
isn’t going to dictate details or meth-
ods, but he will be earnestly insis-
tent that no changes be adopted
which would reduce the State’s high-
way revenue. Nothing of that sort
is in prospect.

The other night a little dinner
party was held at one of the down-
town hotels attended by Governor
Green, members of the Highway
Committee of the State Administra-
tive Board, the Highway Commit-
tee of the Senate and the Roads and
Bridges Committee of the House.
Out of this pow wow came the rumor
that an agreement had been reached
providing for a 3 cent gas tax with
no change in the present annual
weight tax on motor vehicles, except
that 50 per cent of the weight tax
revenue would be returned to the
counties. This would “involve a slight
increase over the ﬁxed amount of
six million dollars ‘which the counties
now receive from the State highway
funds. .

Senator Geo. Leland of Fennville
has annouced that he is preparing
and will shortly introduce a bill em-
bodying these provisions.

Senators and representatives from
the rural dstricts can’t seem to see
how their farmer constituents could
be expected to be very enthusiastic
in favor of such a plan which pro-
poses to increase the gas tax without
making any corresponding reduction
in the weight tax or doing away with
the annual license plate nuisance.

Just what rights a farmer should
have in the defense of his property
and what penalties should be im-
posed on trespassers and chicken
thieves have been disputed in both
the Senate and the House.

Chicken Thief Bills

As reported in thes columns some
time ago, the House passed the Hall
and Huff bills aimed at chicken
thieves and sent them to the Senate.
The Hall bill, which was intended
to aid in the capture and conviction
of poultry thieves, seems to be
lodged in the Senate Committee on
Agriculture. The Huff bill propos-
ing very deﬁnite and discouraging
penalties for chicken thieves was
ﬁnally advanced to third reading in
the Senate only to be sidetracked
into the Senate Committee on Judi-
ciary on motion of Senator Howard
F. Baxter of Grand Rapids who
seemed to feel that the penalties
speciﬁed were too severe. ,

If the Senators had the facts as
to the tremendous quantities of poul-
try which have been stolen in Mich-
igan during the past few years
and if they would realize how unani-
mously despised and cordially hated
chicken thieves are in rural com-
munities, they would not hesitate to
pass any reasonable bill intended to
curb this offense.

Several of the Senators almost
literally “threw a ﬁt” when Sen.
Horton’s bill, relative to trespassers
on improved and enclosed lands,
come up for ﬁnal passage. They
slaughtered the bill by taking out
most of its important provisions.

Sen. Tom Read of Shelby delivered

'Hors'e-playuwas injected into. the.

procedure ‘when, Sen. Herbert J.
Rushton' of Escansba offered; an
amendment to exempt the Upper
Peninsula from the operation of the
bill. After this had been lost by a
vote of 10 to _18, Sen. Arthur E.
Wood of Detroit tried to exempt the
Lower Peninsula, but this was. de-
feated 5 to 25. What was left”of
the bill was passed 24 to 6.

0n the afternoon following that
on which the Senators tore the Hor-
ton bill to shreds, the House ap-
proved Rep. David Brake’s bill
which is somewhat similar in» pur—
pose. It would prohibit hunting on
farm lands or farm wood—lots con-
nected therewith Without the “writ-
ten” consent of the owner ‘or lessee
of such property unless the require-
ment for “writteen” permission was

. waived by the farmer.

Raise Their Own Pay

The members of the House of
Representatives .took a somewhat
lefthanded means of raising their
own pay_when they amended the
regular appropriation for the Leg-
islature by embodying a suggestion
by Rep. Milton R. Palmer of Detroit
that the lawmakers be allowed $5.00
a day for expenses. The constitu-
tion sets the pay of members of the
Senate and the House at $800.00 per
two—year term. The Legislature is
usually in session about 120 days
so that the $5.00 a day expense 3.]-
lowance would mean about $600 per
Session additional to each member.
The appropriation bill as amended
was bitterly attacked, but ﬁnally
passed by a vote of 76 to 18. How-
ever, the Representatives had better
not start counting on this money
very seriously because the Senate
has not yet taken kindly to the idea
and even if they Should ﬁnally do
so, the Governor might veto the bill,
and even if the Governor should Sign

~ it, it is quite probable that the

Supreme Court might declare it un-
constitutional.

The rural and city Representatives
were divided quite noticeably over
a bill. by Rep. Wm. J. Thomas of
Grand Rapids to replace the State
Tax Department with a State Tax
C o 111 mi 3 s i o 11. Wayne members
seemed to fear that if the bill were
passed, Mr. George Lord, present
chairman of the tax commissioners,
might lose his job and Wayne might
suffer in the future equalizations of
property for State tax purposes. The
bill was adopted 63 to 30.

The Senate Committee on Agri—
culture reported out the appropria—
tion bill for the State Department of
Agriculture without making any in—
crease in the amount to be appropri-
ated for State bdemnities on slaugh—
tered tubercular cattle. At hearings

on this matter, attended by a large .

delegation of dairymen, it was
pointed out that a. milk ordinance
has been passed by the city of De-
troit to become effective January 1,
1928, which provides that after that
date only milk from clean herds can
be marketed in Detroit. This means
that unless dairymen in the Detroit
milk market area are to be deprived
of their market, these counties in
southeastern Michigan must be
cleaned up this summer and fall. If
no increase is made in the regular
budget appropriation for Senate in-
demnities, it is doubtful if all or
these counties can be cleaned up
before the Detroit milk ban goes
into effect, even though the work
should be entirely stopped in the rest
of the State where it is now in pro-
gress and the counties now on the
waiting list be disappointed for an-
other year. ‘

Not only is the eradication of bo-
vine tuberculosis an important issue
before the lsmnakers, but they are
devoting a great deal of attention
to the care of the State's tubercular
pecgle. I ,

EARLY VARIETY OF‘BEANS

Will -you kindly give me some
ﬂn‘formation about an earlier matur-
ing bean than the Robust bean? Last
spring I planted certiﬁed Robust
seed but to my sorrow I found out
that it is not adapted for this part
of the country. I lost my whole 20
acre crop by the ﬁrst killing frost,
did not harvest enough beans to
make a meal. The last few years
we used the common white bean but
lately the bean was so badly alfected
with disease that we cannot use it
any more—R. S., Pinconning, Mich.

HERE are several earlier matur-

ing beans in the state than the‘

Robust, however, they are diffi-
cult to obtain under the variety
name and be sure that you do not
have a mixed sa le of beans. There
are early Won r, Early Proliﬁc,
Mexican Tree and others of which I
cannot give you any reference as to
growers. The Vermont is grown in
some sections of the state and is a.
little earlier than the Robust. This,
too, is difficult to obtain under the
name.

I am wondering if you did not
seed your Robust too late to get
them to mature in the fall. The

FAIR. LEASE

Tenant does all work, pays one-third
silo ﬁlling, fertilizer, threshing, and
one-third of fuel for tractor and re-
ceives one-third of all produce sold
off farm except potatoes and chick-
ens, he receives one-half. Now in
connection to farm, we feed 350 to
550 lambs, buy them in Chicago,
charge tenant for one-third feed
bought outside of farm and he
stands one-third of interest on ﬁrst
cost of lambs and receives ﬁne-third 
proﬁt. Do you think this is a fair
agreement or lease?.—-—-R. D., Lan-
sing, Mich. ,

HIS lease seems to be a fair one.
However, in some cases the
tenant receives one—third of po—

tatoesand poultry products and also
bears his share of seed with the ex-
ception of grass seed. Grass seed
expense is sometimes born by the
landlord and especially so when the
lease is for one year.—F. T. Riddell,

ANY farmers are going to be
short on pasture this summer
becauSe of the almost total

loss of last year’s seeding. A typi-‘
cal letter denoting this is one from
R. P.,-Greenville.
“What kind of
seeding would be
best in a ten
acre rye ﬁeld
which I intend
to pasture after
I cut the rye?
The soil is a
good grade of
soil, but not
clay.”

R. P. has a
rather perplexing
problem W h e n
he e x p e c t s to
sow some grass
seed in the rye and have the grass
for pasture after harvesting the rye.
For many years we grew a ﬁeld of
rye, and in the beginning, seasons
were favorable enough so we always
had a catch of seeding. After a time,
our seeding in rye always was a
failure or nearly so, and we have cut
out the rye crop on this account.
Rye starts up so fast in the spring it
does not give the grass a fair chance,
and unless the season is unusually
favorable, the seeding is puny and
small, and generally gives up the
battle with the rye, and quits.

It is pretty certain red clover will
not answer in R. P.’s case. If we
had to pasture this rye ﬁeld after
harvest, here is the way we would
handle it: We would test the soil for
lime; if it needed lime we would sow
it just as soon as we could. Then
with a disk drill We would sow eight
or ten pounds of scariﬁed sweet
clover 'per acre on it. The seed
should be inoculated. If we had no
disk drill, we would use a spring
tooth harrow for dragging the seed
in. Then when the rye was’ahout
four inches high, we would turn’in
thestock and pasture it for ten days
or so. This would keep the rye from
getting too large for the clover, and
it would not hurt the clover at all,
and considerable pasture would be
gained. The ﬁeld should not be pas-
tured while too wet. After harvest,

Alfalfa Inoculation

“Does inoculation of alfalfa seed»
give security for a good 'stand of al-
falfa, if there never wasalfalfa raised
on this particular ﬁeld? If inoculation
doesn’t, would you recommend to
sow this year red cloverseed (which
is growing ﬁne) and just mix some
alfalfa seed in, and seed alfalfa'alone
in the years to come? Do you advise
to sow alfalfa seed broadcast in
winter wheat? Is it~necessary to
harrow the seedin? Could the seed
be seeded with a grain drill with
grass seeder attachment, or would
this hurt the wheat too much?”—
R. S., Pentwater, Mich.

No; inoculation of alfalfa seed. is'

no guarantee the alfalfa seed will
prove a success. There are other
things to consider, which are more
important, besides inoculation. I
have seen alfalfa growing ﬁne on one
side of the road, while the ﬁelds
across the road with same soil seem-
ingly, would not grow alfalfa. Test
your ﬁeld for sourness. If sour, sow
lime. If you are determined to get
a stand of grass on the ﬁeld, and
doubtful about alfalfa, sow the al-
falfa and add a reasonable mount
of clover to it. We have a ﬁeld on
which we sowed lime last spring, and
seeded alfalfa in the cats we sowed“
The alfalfa failed and the ﬁeld was
plowed and sown to wheat last fall,
with two hundred (200) pounds of
high grade fertilizer per acre. We
will sow inoculated. alfalfa in the
wheat this spring with a disk drill.
The drill will not hurt the wheat in
the least. If you have no disk drill,
harrow the seed in with a. spring
tooth running rather lightly. It cer—
tainly is good practice to add some
alfalfa to the cloverseed when seed-
ing a ﬁeld to clover. Many times
the alfalfa Will do ﬁne and the next

There is an advantage in using Ward’s Cata-
logue to look up every article you need to buy.

Because Ward’s Catalogue is based upon
Quality F irst—then Low Price.

The difference is that Your Satisfaction
with What you buy at Ward’s is always
assured. And satisfactory service—long wear,
more months of use—determines in the end the
actual cost.

Price is what you pay—service is what you
get. By sacriﬁcing serviceability, prices can be
made lower and lower. At Ward’s, serviceabil-
ity is never sacriﬁced to make a low price.

How Ward’s Low Prices Are Made

and High Quality always Maintained

Ward’s low prices are made by quantity buying
for ready cash by one of the most skilled and
expert buying organizations in the world.
Sixty Million Dollars in cash were used in
buying goods for this Catalogue. The markets

of the world were searched. Goods were bought
by the thousand dozen, by the car load, to
secure lower—than-market prices. Our prices
are as low as any merchandise power can se-
cure. But they are never 10Wered by reducing
quality. “

We do not use inferior leather for the under-
sole of a shoe to take ﬁfteen cents off the price.
We do not use tin where galvanized iron gives
longer service. We do not use old reclaimed
rubber in a tire where new rubber is required.
This carefulness to maintain quality, to secure
longer Wear, is part of Ward’s service to you.

Conﬁdence in Ward Quality

For Fifty-ﬁve years, Montgomery Ward 85 Co.

seems to be—merchandise that will stand your

Less Work—

Here are the steel fence posts that you will ﬁnd
pay best in long service with 1&3 work to set up.
Banner Steel Posts can be driven by man or boy
with ease. No post holes to dig; just drive them
into the ground with a sledge or With the Banner
Post driver. -

Note the four big features of Banner Posts:
Extra strength because of the railroad rail design;
the easy attaching of line wires because of the
special clamp and continuous notches; the
large slit wing anchor which “anchors likea rock;”

is believed by some that this variety
succeeds better and matures earlier
than Earliana on the heavier soils.
Chalks Jewel and John Baer are
along the same lines, although
Chalks Jewel is somewhat later and

a triﬂe larger than Bonny Best and
is a favorite among the canners.
Ponderosa and other tomatoes of the
beefsteak type are fast becoming
out of date with commercial grow- ,
ers and while they are still a favor- u.
ite with some home gardeners, it is
not to be recommended for extensive
planting. The Marglobe which is of
recent introduction is meeting with
much favor by growers where earli-
ness is not of prime importance.

I Three Trainloads j o
' McCormick—Deering Tractors '
oﬂ to ght the Corn Borer

HE U. S. Department of Agriculture, in carrying

out its carefully organized program for corn borer

control, has recently put into service several hun’
dred McCormickrDeering I 530 Tractors. The illustration
above shows the ﬁrst; special train of tractors leaving one
of the tractor plants of the Harvester Company.

The emergency order was given precedence over regur
lar tractor deliveries, the entire consignment being headed
eastward at once, going to the infested areas in three
trainloads. Over a hundred International Motor Trucks
were hurried overland for use in delivering tractors and
other equipment to the various sections.

800 Corn Stubble Pulverizers

As further weapons in the borer warfare the govern
ment is using 800 com stubble pulverizers, a special imple’
ment designed by the Engineering Department of the
Company to aid in destrOying the pest which has been
'wintering in the corn stubble of the east central states.
The pulverizer is a sturdy zirow implement which
occupies an important place in the eradication program.
It c0vers 25 to 30 acres a day and is operated by power
from the tractor.

Heavy-Duty Tractor Power
These McCormick’Deeringv Tractors are all of the
heavyduty 15-30 h. p. size, especially qualiﬁed by their
three! plow capacity and three’way power delivery—
drawbar, belt, and'power takeoff—to play a major part
in the government’s plans for corn borer control.

War is declared on the Borer

 

 

OWER and machines must hold the

front line trenches against the Euro'
pean corn borer which is threatening
the corn belt.

The prime, objective is to kill the
borer or rid the ﬁelds of the stalks
that harbor the borer. Pulverizing the
stubble or turning it under by super’
clean plowing, turning the corn into
ensilage for the silo or into shredded
fodder, low cutting with a special
attachment for corn binders are
among the practices recommended by
the authorities.

We will mail to any address free
illustrated booklets regarding the
corn borer, its history, the ofﬁcial
plans for its control, mechanical
and other methods of procedure.

Jesus Christ from the dead.”

. “Aim at what is above.” ' Always,
this is the direction of the resurrec-
tion life. This tears us awaydrom
selﬁsh interests to, engage in the busi- '

I ness of the King. This gives one‘
that hath ears to understand the com-
mand, “Follow me.” Just this
weaned the disciples away from their
nets and ﬁsh. And itwill yet wean
others away from their nets of social
ease, of business co‘vetousness, and
of animal pleasures. Whatever your
brand of belief, know this: Loyalty
to Christ is to follow Him. Jesus '
had those in his company of differing
sorts of belief, but no matter, as long
as they were following Him, they"
were aiming high. Essential religion
is evermore an earnest striving to
know which way Jesus went, a con-
science true to our ﬁndings, and a
will powerful enuf to keep us walk-
ing in the Jesus way.

This is the result of -being raised
with Christ. O‘yes, it may lead you
into hard places and obscure regions.
But this is a distinctive glory of
Christianity. It puts one into dark
and unaccustomed places as a light-
holder of Him who “lighteth every
man that cometh into the world."
Jesus was but an obscure peasant
once, but now He is our Resurrected
Ideal of spiritual light and beauty.
“Aim at what is above where Christ
1s."

“Mind what is above, not what is
on earth.” “Arrived Garkide." This
is a recent message a young doctor
sent to his American mission board,
from Africa. He could have remain-
ed here and had an income of thou-
sands, but .he went’ to Africa on a
support of a few hundreds. His
mind turned to things above. He
aimed high. A monk desired to set
his mind on things above, so he
climbed high the cathedral tower
and cried, “O Lord, where art thou?”
And below from the street came the
voice, “Here am I.” Paradoxically,
to set one’s mind on things above, is
to have it on the welfare of men be-
low. It is to get underneath them
with the lever of love and lift them
up to their resurrection status in
Christ. This is basic religion and
meant to renew the minds of men in
the highest things of life.

The Pauline gospel makes the re-
newing of the mind the lofty source
from which ﬂows the stream of
Christian conduct. It is plain Eng-
lish for stating the doctrine that
transformation of character depends
on setting the mind on aims trued
to the Truth. Shutting the mind out
from the world and shutting it in
with Christ in prayer, meditation, _
and neighborly service, gives the life
ballast. It is here we cultivate aim
and poise to follow in The Way. It
is here we die and here we are
raised with Christ “who is our life."

What kind of life? A life that is
“hidden.” But that is not so strange.
All life is hidden. I look out of
doors and see the trees swaying in
the wind. I know there is life with-
out, but I cannot see it. I only see
the manifestations. Thelife is hid-
den. I know there is life in' the
many-hued potted plants at my study
window, but I cannot see it. It is
hidden. So it is with the spiritual
life of the soul. It is a hidden thing.
It is bound up with things not seen.
And the Spirit of Christ is there to
.nurture it. No more could Nico—
demus understand this, than he could
understand the source and sound of
the wind. Nor can we. Sunbeams
and electricity are mighty forces, but
unseen. There is no telling how
much spiritual power is ﬂowing from
the backwoods preacher, from the
quiet Christian farmer, or from the
lowly mother as over the cradle she
croons her Christian lullaby. These
all are quite unnoticed by the world,
but they are aiming high. They are
getting a footing Overthere. They
are proving the resurrection hope.

' 'Wilson" fase. ”-. We agreewith a good
many others that Wilson should be
rewarded and congratulated instead
of persecuted and annoyed. Prac-
tically however we do not think that
the judge in the case can do much.
He can only follow the law, as he is
sworn to do. In the individual case

 
  
 

of Wilson a pardon is the best rem- '

edy if he is convicted. . '

However the case of this shooting
of a thief is a good one to_ bring the
matter before the public. ‘ The fun-
damental trouble is with our laws
and our‘popular sympathies. We are
too “mushy gushy” about the crim-
inal class. Too much sympathy and
not enough horse sense. The case
of the repeal of the death penalty
in Michigan is in point.

Isn’t it about time that we stop
reversing the law of the survival of
the ﬁttest, and instead of nurturing
and carefully preserving the crim-
inal, the subnormal, the degenerate,
and burdening the capable, the hon-
est and the thrifty in their support
that we bring out the surgeon’s knife
and the chloroform bottle? Why bur-
den and tax and sacriﬁce the honest
and able and ﬁt to perpetuate and
foster the criminal and the unﬁt?

The brains and the brawn of our
young people, the physically and the
mentally ﬁt, are constantly drafted
into the professions, into business,
or are drafted into armies to ﬁght
their country’s battles. The physi-
cally and mentally unﬁt, the morally
degenerate and the cowards get
busy and breed more crooks, crimin-
als and morons.

Now that sounds a bit like knock-
ing doesn’t it? But isn’t there more
than a grain of truth along with the
vinegar? Isn’t modern society re—
versing the law of the survival of
the ﬁttest? And isn’t this instance
of prosecuting a man for shooting
a chicken thief just one outcropping
of a situation? \

Well here is good luck to Wilson,
and appreciation of the good work

THE PRESIDENT COMES WEST

RESIDENT COOLIDGE is going to do some-
thing this summer that he should have done
long ago. He is going to make his summer

home in the west where he will have an oppor-
tunity - to become acquainted with the real
farmers of our nation. Several states have in-
vited him to spend the summer within their bor-
ders and we were in hopes that he would look
with favor upon Michigan but according to press
report‘s he ﬁnally decided on Wisconsin.

Some of our presidents have been criticised
because they traveled about the country consid-
erably. Seldom was this criticism justiﬁed be-
cause the head of any nation must travel among
his countrymen if he is to act on national and
international problems in a way that will satisfy
the majority. If he lives all of the time in one
section he gets to see everything with the eyes
of that section.

Not long, ago the Editor was talking with Mrs.
Dora M. Stockman, State Grange Lecturer, and
Mr. A. B. Cook, former master of the Grange,
and they declared the reason that the farmer
does not receive much attention from the govern-
ment is that the capital of our nation is located
in the wrong place it is located in the industrial
part of the country. Their suggestion was that
the capital should be in Indiana, and Mr. Cook
said in his opinion the farmers could well
afford to stand all of the expense of the move
because of the different view the
government would get of matters

/

THANK YOU, FOLKS '
E want to publicly thank the good folks wh
responded to the call for funds to 'help Mr.
L. J. Wilson ﬁght his case. He is not an
extremely poor man. perhaps the expense would
not have caused him great ﬁnancial embarrass-
ment, but we believed that he was ﬁghting‘ a
ﬁght for Michigan agriculture—yes, the agri-
culture of the entire country-hand he should not
be obliged to bear the ﬁnancial as well as the
physical and mental burden. So many folks
agreed with us that we have received $856.70
which is in the Citizens Savings Bank of Mt.

Clemens in an account known as the L. J. W112

son Defense Fund. Checks drawn on it must be
signed by the cashier of that bank and the Editor

of “THE anINEss FABMER. Within a few days of

the time this is written two checks will be drawn.
One for $300 to C. B. Rarden, leading attorney
for Mr. Wilson, which covers his services in full.
The other check ‘will be to the amount of $100,
drawn to Sophus Johnson, another Wilson attor-
ney, to pay for his services in connection with
the trial. This takes $400 from our fund, leaving
$456.70 which is to remain in the bank until it
is needed to defend any other farmer who may
be brought to trial on similar offense, or any
other case which in the opinion ofthe Editor of
M. B. F. is as deserving of our support.

Again we thank you in the behalf of Michigan
agriculture, in Mr. Wilson’s behalf, in our own
behalf, and we hope you will keep us posted on
conditions in your community. We want to know
of any cases similar to Mr. Wilson’s or cases
where farmers are shouldering the cause of
many, so that we can help.

 

MIGHIGAN’S OIL WELLS

NUMBER of successful oil wells have been

drilled in Michigan and no doubt there will

be many more of them inside of the next
few years. So far most of these wells are in
the Saginaw valley, but experts declare there is
every reason to believe that more productive
wells will be sunk in other sections of the State.
How much oil there is under Michigan soil and
rock no one can tell. Experts are inclined to
think there is considerable, that Michigan may
eventually become a big oil producing state, but
they believe that it will never become a second
Oklahoma, nor will the oil game rank as one of
the leading industries of the State.

Many farmers have written us for advice on
signing oil leases. Upon reading the leases sent
in we foundkmost of them to be the “dollar down"
kind which appear in every section after oil is
discovered, or even if there is an idea that oil
can be found, and it binds the farm owner'for a
year or two for the huge sum of one dollar. A
well is supposed to be started in the community

- E _  Y. , _
the start"-- i .. ~ " ' .   

There is oil in Michigan and in'paying quanth‘ 
ties, perhaps under your own property,,'but you f
should not become excited about it. Do not get”
over anxious to sign any, leases or rent 'or buy.
more land than you can. handle thinking that

a:

you are going to become rich over night from an
oil well. Results may be the opposite.

 

FARMER CAN PROTEUI‘ PROPERTY
HICKEN thieves, beware! The farmers now
know that they can nse ﬁrearms to protect
their property, so when you steal from them
you are taking the same chances you do if you
rob a bank or store.
That is the information that the chicken
thieves in Michigan got from the L. J. Wilson
trial at Stanton on March 22nd. Many of them

‘ read it and perhaps a few attended the trial to

get the information ﬁrst hand, but regardless of
how it came to them, they have'had their warn-
ing. The court has heard the case of a farmer
accused of manslaughter because he shot a thief
he discovered at his chicken coop, and the jury
has declared him “Not guilty!" Let it be a les-
son to thieves. .

No man should shoot to kill a thief but he
should have the right to injure him so that he
can make an arrest if necessary to defend his
property. Letters we have received indicate that
many of these thieves carry ﬁrearms and threaten
the lives of the property owners 'when they try
to interfere with their thieving operations. Sev-
eral have been injured by these‘thieves. Certain-
ly the owner of the property should be as well
prepared to argue as the thief taking it.

It has always been understood that the city
man did have the right and now the outcome of
the Wilson case indicates that a farmer also has
it, that he is justiﬁed in using ﬁrearms if neces-
sary to protect his property. But deliberate
murder even at such a time is not excusable.
If Mr. Wilson had shot with the intent to kill
he would be behind prison bars today instead of
doing his spring work, and we would be among
the ﬁrst to urge that he be put there. He shot
to wing the man that he might make an arrest
only after he had commanded several times that
he halt. He was justiﬁed in doing that and if
the man had tried to shoot him he would have
had the rig-ht to defend himself. Keep these
facts in mind if you ever meet up with a chicken
thief in your coop.

 

FIGHT THE CORN BORER

cannot hope to. wipe out the European

corn borer no matter how hard we ﬁght

but he can force us to discontinue growing

corn if we do not ﬁght him, and ﬁght hard right
now. By doing everything that it is humanly
possible to do we can only hope to
. keep down the corn borer popula-

 

 

in this country. We are inclined to
endorse their idea as to the loca-
tion of the capital and believe that
the farmer would get a far differ—
ent reception than he does at pres-
ent, but we shy at the farmer pay-
ing the moving bill. He has too
many bills to pay already. But
with the capital in the industrial
east how can the farmer expect the
government to get his viewpoint
without travel on the part of the
chief executive?

Pres. Coolidge has remained at
home too much. He needs to come
west and meet the farmers and
study their problems at ﬁrst hand,
not take the advice of politicians
or- so-called spokesmen for agricul-
tural interests.

We never favored the Maury-
Haugen bill and think that it was
for the best interests of our coun-
try that the president had the
courage to stand by his convic—
tions and veto it. We fail to see
government assistance as the great
cure—all for the farmers' troubles,
but we do believe that our govern-
ment should get more of an agri-
cultural viewpoint on all matters
of interest to its citizens.

President Coolidge has viewed
everything from an industrial

CHEAP ACCIDENT INSURANCE

My subscription has expired to M.
B. F. I notice from the label on my
paper and upon renewing I would
like to take out one of your accident
and ,travel policies. What losses
does your policy cover? Please con-
tinue sending your paper to me.—E.
E. U., Eagle, Mich.

E are no longer issuing cheap

accident and travel insurance
_ policies. Never boosters for
cheap insurance, we carried it with
a good company only to accomodate
those who really wanted it, but our
agents did not urge it upon folks.
We have yet to read a policy that was
more liberal for the money invested
than our‘s was, but it is very easy to
misunderstand this kind of insurance
so we decided it was best to discon-
tinue it entirely. Accident insurance
should be carried‘by everybody, but
we do not believe a policy can be
sold at the low price of $1.00 which
is of very much value to the farmer.

FARM LISTING COMPANIES
ACI'IVE AGAIN

IFE is just one ﬁght after another
for far mtolks. If their crops
fail they have a hard time of
it trying to get enough tocarry them
through to another harvest, and it
their crops are a great ﬁnancial suc-
cess then they have to lay awake
nights to keep some swindler or
“wildcat stock” salesman from get—
ting their money away from them.
One of the most proﬁtable pus-
inesses, we believe, is that of “list-
ing harms”, because it can be worked
during the lean year as well as the
prosperous year: There are always
folks who want to sell their farms.
. Some really want to sell while others

will sell “it I can get my 'price”.
Most of the companies soliciting
property for “listing” publish a book-
let, pamphlet, catalog, or whatever
they care to call it, and charge so
much for listing the property in their
publication which, they advise, they
send to. a large list of people who
are interested in buying property.
The average price for this service is

set at $10.00, but it the victim tailed -

to respond they generally start cut-
ting prices. We have heard of their
coming down to as low as $2.50.
Then atter the property is sold they
are to receive another ten-spot. We
have heard of any number of these
companies but never have we heard
of any of our readers having to pay
the second $10.00, in fact we do not
know of one tarm in this state he-

 

 

 

 

ence with one.

ing. sold through this method al-
though there are many iolks who
paid their “li ing” fee. -

.One subscr or recently wrote us
that he~“listed” his farm two years
ago with the understanding that he
was to, receive his money back it it
was not sold. However, the company
failed to state how long they were
to have on the property, and this
reader has about decided if there is
to be a refund it will be some of his
ancestors who will proﬁt by it. The
company is apparently very busy as
they do not take time to answer his
letters.

If any of our readers know of a
farm changing hands through such a
deal we would like to know about it.

ANOTHER ORANGE FRAUD
STOPPED
0 you remember the “Acme
Farms" of Gainesville, Florida,
and their “Fresh Sweet Florida
Oranges, $3 per box of three hun-
dred large size” which we exposed
through our columns and saved con-
siderable money for our readers?
Another concern of. this kind recent—
ly came into existence but it did not
last long. It was the “Florida In-
depedenf Citrus Growers,” West
Tampa, Florida, and in their adver-
tising, which had been sent" to over
100 newspapers in all parts of the
country, they promised to send 200
oranges for $6.50, or ﬁfty grape-
fruit for $5.00.

C. F. Hernandez, treasurer of the
company,,.claimed to have a ﬁnancial
backing of $100,000, and declared
he controlled 3. $5,000,000 crop of
oranges, but investigation revealed
that his “backers’ were employees
of a coal and wood yard, that be con—
trolled no orange crop and had made
no arrangements to ﬁll orders. Their
total investment in the “business”
amounted to less than $20 which was
for postage and stationery.

The post office department closed
them with a fraud order, it is be-
lieved, before anyone had been de-
frauded.

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS

NE of our ﬁnancial advertisers
0 calls our attention to our article

“Why Investors Do Not Get
Dividends” which appeared in our
February 26th issue, stating that
they believe it is misleading, and
makes farmers suspicious of good
companies. We do not believe that
would apply to our subscribers and
advertisers because our readers know
we do not accept the advertising of
any company that we do [not believe
to be reliable. It isour business to
protect our subscribers, not expose

them to the danger of some fraud. ~

There are many companies con—
ducting their business on an unques‘
tionable basis and they can be con-
sidered as reliable as a. bank. Then
there is the ﬁy-by—night concern that
is feathering its own nest and plans
on leaving the public hold the bag.
It gets into every business and the
reliable concerns must suffer because
of it although they are not to blame
in any way. Our purpose in that
article was to save the money of our
good friends so that they would in-
vest it with reliable concerns where
the investment would be proﬁtable
to both the buyer and the seller.
One bad investment and a person is
through, a good investment and they
feel encouraged to invest more.

If we have caused any reﬂection
to.be .cast upon this advertiser we
apologize, and repeat for the beneﬁt
of all that we believe our subscribers
can buy with conﬁdence from our ad-
vertiseers.

 

KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

“Last evening,” he said, “the editor of
the News was in attendance at a meeting
held at the Barton schoolhouse in Mill-
bank township when the farmers who
have been outraged recently by consider—
able thievery, organized a protective asso-
ciation.

“Over ﬁfty substantial citizens were in
attendance and the entire matter was
discussed at length. Before they left a
reward of $50 was raised by voluntary
subscription to be given to the parties

plans to engage in driving out the thieves
that are making life miserable for the
farm folks.

“If our local law enforcement ofﬁcials
want to hold their ofﬁces it would be well
for them to attempt to earn this reward
money and do something of a substanital
nature to enforce the laws which they

ing the old Fox place took the Detray
property. He had bought it‘ and was go-
ing to move on right away. That was
news considering that the Detray place
was supposed to be haunted. Maybe you
think folks didn’t talk when the news
appeared in the paper.

.Seems like the folks who owned the
place wanted to dispose of it and Frost,
thru the First National Bank, had ar-
ranged to rent the old farm for a year
and then buy if he wanted to. Everyone
wondered how Dain, who had always
rented it, had lost out this time. ‘

So when Jim shipped the next time it
was a draw which brought out the most
talk, the theiving or Frost moving.

Everybody was glad for Frost that he
had ﬁnally found a place. It had been
rumored for some time that he was plan-
ning to go to Dakota and we hated, Jim
said, to lose Fred as he was a substantial
citizen and dandy help when threshing
was under way.

We all joshed Fred about the place.

“Ain’t you ’fraid them ghosts will run
you out?” Jim says.

“Taking a big chance,” A1 Torman says,
“why, Fred, many’s the time I”heerd
strange things over there, couldh’t get
me to live in that place, not this bird.”

Well, we helped Fred and his wife
move over to the Detray place. Jim
and me hauled a few loads of corn and
every time I was around that place I
shivered. Fred had ﬁxed up the place

promised to do when elected. It will take
more action than the mere arrest of a
few traveling bootleggers and then releas-
ing them, as they did yesterday. Our
experience tends to show that the sheriff
is more interested in putting a few bums
in jail at the request of railroad officials
than getting out into the country and
helping make life safe for the people who
pay the taxes.”

The article went on to list the names
of the members of the new association
and ended up by saying:

“The News joins with the Millbank
folks in hoping that arrests will be made
shortly and that ample protection will be
provided for our farm folks as well as
the interests. We will be glad to make
note of further thievery so that our sher-
iff can ﬁnd out where to look for his
victims."

Jim sure laughed when he read the
article.

“That editor told me he was out to get
the sheriff and it looks like we were
going to be helped by his ‘gitting.’ You
see, Bill, your old boss has a bone to
pick with that gang and he told me the
other night he was going to- start some—
thing. Guess he will all right.”

A few days later another meeting was
held. The township was 100 per cent for
the association and lots of folks living in
adjoining townships had come over and
asked to join. In all there were three
hundred and ten members so the treasury
had a neat sum besides the notes to be—
gin on.

The best of all was the appearance of
the sheriff, the county attorney and two
deputies who came out with Dain to at-
tend the meeting.

The county attorney spoke and told the
association that he was ready to help.
He said if we could get any evidence he
would call a special session of the grand
jury to act. He assured us all that the
attacks of the local paper were not fair
and that we was receiving fair treatment
from ofﬁcials who had sworn to protect
the public interests, whether they was
in town or in the country.

The boys gave him a fair hand altho
they still was open minded on the matter
and I heard several’ after the meeting
say they bet the News had made him
sore or they never would have shown up.

Jim Barton had an idea about putting
up signs that everyone was a member of
the association. He got a lot of. heavy
carboard printed and Milibank township
sure looked dangerous from the road. 'In—
cidentally stealing stopped for the time.

pretty good in a short time and was busy
getting ready to plant some corn. He was
working double time and we all hoped he
could make it go. Jim even went over
and plowed for him and I dragged some
sod land one day.

Being connected with the new associa-
tion Jim and Fred talked a lot about it
and I picked up information from time to
time which kept me posted. Seems that
things had quieted down, altho the sheriff
had reported he had some clues on the
stealing of Jim’s hogs thru an arrest
made in the next county. Jim didn’t pay
much attention to that as he kinda laid
it up as salve to quiet the fracas that
had been kicked up thru attacks in'the
News.

Then other things happened.

One night Frost came driving over to
Jim’s about 10 o'clock, all excited. His
telephone wasn’t in so he had to resort
to a horse. Mrs. Frost was along and
she went in the house.

“Jim, some one‘s trying to scare me,"
he says. “Last night about midnight the
Misses woke up and says she heard a.
funny noise. I listened and it happened
again. Sounded like cans rattling and
then a moan. Then there was a rattle
like something rolling off the house. I
got up and took my gun and wandered
around the house looking out the windows
but couldn’t see anything. Lit a light
ﬁnally and went outside. Didn’t ﬁnd
anything and decided it was all bunk.”

Here Frost stopped to swallow and I
could see he was excited.

“Tonight,” he continued, “right after
supper I heard a moaning in the barn and
a squealing sound out near the 01d shed
that I haven’t been using. I waited a
while and it was quiet till about half
an hour ago. Then it started again. The
Missus was so scared we decided to come
over here.”

Well, we talked it over and' ﬁnally
Jim says, “Fred, let's the three of us
go over there quiet like and keep watch.
Maybe we can ﬁnd what's wrong and if
we can’t we will report it to the sheriff."

Well, I was willing as I kinda wanted
to see if ghosts really could do things as
they was supposed to and between shivers
of thinking about it we walked over. Left
the horses as we wanted to sneak up on
the place.

Got there all right and Jim and Fred
went around. to the back of the house
All was quiet.

SELLING TREES AND SHRUBS

In a recent issue of your paper
the editor of Fruit and Orchard in
reply to Mrs. L. O. B., Buckley,
Michigan, stated that we can sell
barberry plants to neighbors with-
out inspection. Now I have a ﬁne
lot of plants from plants that were
set last spring that made a wonder—
ful growth and in cultivating them
there are many plants that have not
been inspected and my neighbors
want them. Am I violating the law
if I sell to neighbors? I want to be
on the safe side—D. P., Davison,
Michigan.

WILL quote from Section 3 of the
State orchard and nursery laws.
“Any person or persons, ﬁrm or
corporation, growing or offering for
sale, in this state, any trees, shrubs,
vines, fruit plants hardy herbaceous
perennials, also cuttings, grafts,
scions and buds for purposes of pro-
pagation, commonly known as nur—
sery stock, shall on or before the
ﬁrst day of August in each year, ap—
ply to the Michigan State Board of
Agriculture (Department of Agricul-
ture) for the inspection of said
stock under the provisions of this
act, and for a license for its sale."
The section then goes on to state
the amount of the license fee, bond
requirements, etc. and near the end
of the section appears the following
proviso: “Provided, that the previ-
sions of this section shall not apply
to persons engaged in fruit growing,
who are not nurserymen, but who
desire to sell or exchange small fruit
plants of their own growing.” The
meaning of this proviso is plain
enough but the next question is,
when is a man not a nurseryman?
The berry growers in Berrien
county seem to interpret the law as
follows: As long as a man does not
advertise, does not sell to nurseries
and does not make‘ a regular busi-
ness of selling plants, he is not a
nurseryman and has a right to sell
plants to his neighbors without in—
spection. Under Section 1 of the
law, however, it is unlawful to sell
or even give, away any plants that
are diseased. This states the case
as we see it. Nevertheless We wish
to caution you that the editor of this
department is a practical fruit
grower, not a lawyer, so if you want
a more detailed or more authorita-
tive advice on the subject we would
advise you to write to the State
Inspector of Orchards and Nurseries
at Lansing, Michigan.

S a member of The Gui]-
dren’s Hour Club I pledge
myself:

To live a Christian life and keep
the Ten Commudments.

To do my best in everything I do.

To be true to my country, the
United States of America.

To do at least one good deed
each day.

To assist the less fortunate than I._
To be considerate-of others.

To be kind to people and to ani-
mals.

To become educated.

To always conduct myself in a way

that is becoming to a lady or
gentleman.

 

 

 

EAR girls and boys: Well, we

simply must have another con-

test. What will it be? One of
our good friends suggests that it be
about books and I ,think that is a
good idea, don’t you? All of you
have read books and I am sure most
of you like some of them, so it
should be an interesting contest.

This contest will be called a
“Book Contest” and to enter it you
must write an essay on the reading
of books, why we should all read
them and the best kinds to read,
why they are best, and so forth.
Write it just like you would write
a letter to someone who never read
books and can see no reason for
reading them, in fact they think it
is wasting time to read one. Can
you do that? Sure you can, and I’ll
bet you can think up some excellent
arguments to use.

There will be four prizes and as
this is a “Book Contest” I will give
books as prizes. If a girl Wins a
prize she will receive a girl’s book
while if it is a boy who is the winner
he will receive a boy’s book, and I
am sure you will like them real Well,
Whether it is ﬁrst or fourth prize you
win, because they are very nice. Of
course the ﬁrst prize book will be
much nicer than second prize, and
second prize better than third, and
so on, but they are all good. When
you write in just suggest the title
of a book you would like and if you
win a prize I will see if I can get it
for you. _

In addition to these four prizes I
am going to give away some genu—
ine MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER pen-
cils, one each to the ﬁrst ten to send
in their entry in the contest. Get
busy right away if you want one.

You can still join the Club you
know, if you are not under six years

of age or over eighteen. Those who

join before they are eighteen be-
come honorary members after they
pass that age and I want them to al-
ways feel interested in Our Club no
matter how long they live. Join up
now it you have not to date.—

1 Bulletin No. 15.——'RAISING DOMESTIC
RABBITS—The production of domestic
rabbits has increased rapidly during re-
cent years and promises to become im—
portant. This bulletin has been prepared
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture
and contains the latest information. "

Cornstalks can be made into paper but
there has been no way to harvest them
in large enough quantities to make it
practical. Now a scientist in Iowa has
invented a machine that snaps the stalk
off at the root, separates the shucked
corn into one wagon and puts the stalk.
after shredding it for baling, into another.
It looks‘like the machine needed.

 

Shallow cultivation is best for row
crops, as it does not injure their roots
so much as deep stirring,

 

Deep planting of beans gives slow
germination, dwarfed
plants, and a poor stand. One to two
inches is generally deep enough.

Had Asthma
All Her Life

Hasn't Any Sign of It Now. Tells
How She Got Rid of It Quickly

There is good news for chronic asthma
and bronchial sufferers in a letter written
by Mrs. W. S. nginn. Beacon, Tenn.
She says:

“I wasa suiferer from asthma attacks
all my life. In 1914, it developed into
constant, chronic asthma. I was unable
to get anything more than temporary re-
lief from all the remedies I tried, and
was gradually growing weaker all the
time, with severe pains. In July, 1924, I
started taking Nacor, and soon noticed
a decxded change in my. condition. In all.
I took 4 bottles. the last one in February.
1925. My asthma is entirely gone.
have taken no medicine for 2 months now.
and know I am completely well. It is
my duty to tell asthma sufferers what
this wonderful medicine has done for me,
and I Will gladly answer any inquiries
on receipt of return postage."

If you suffer from asthma. bronchitis
or seyerephronic cough, you should read
the Vital information about these diseases,
in a booklet. which will be sent free by
Nacor Medlcme Co., 590 State Life Bldg,
Indianapolis, Ind. They will also send
you the letters of people whose trouble
disappeared years ago and never returned.
No matter how serious your case seems,
write for this free information. It has
led( back to health and strength.

Sealed and Labelled Bags
Help Insure Your Crops

IVE things determine successful crops,

namely, ure adapted seed, right weather
conditions, fl‘eedom from disease, good soil,
and labor. One is equally as important as
the other. The most neglected and the
easiest controlled is seed. It merely means
a matter of selection. Demand pure seed
of known origin in sealed and labelled b s,
backed by a responsible concern. Elie
difference in price is but a few cents per acre.
Just compare this for instance with the cost
of investment involved in one seeding. Then
you can see how unwise poor selection of
seed can be.

LEAVE ROOM FOR CHILDREN
TO GROW

HEN making clothes for the
vc children, it is economy to have

them large enough so that al-
lowance is made for growth. Put
generous tucks or hems in one-piece
dresses. For two-piece dresses make
a tuck in the underwaist to which
the skirt is attached. The over-
blouse or middy should overlap the
top of the skirt at least six inches
so that it will still overlap when the
skirt is lengthened. Tucks may also
be made in bloomers, union suits
and boys’ suits.

 

SAVE LINOLEUM FROM WEAR
BY CASTERS
ASTERS on heavy furniture are
likely to cut into linoleum and
should be replaced by glass or
metal shoes which have a Wide bear-
ing and no rough edges. In moving
heavy pieces across linoleum, take
the added precaution of placing an
old rug or carpet under them.

FIGHT CLOTHES MOTHS
WITH LIGHT
LOTHES moths do not work or
breed in the presence of light.
In building a home, place a
small window in each clothes closet
and storage place in the attic. This
will eliminate most of the trouble
with moths.

 

 

TO REMOVE MUD STAINS
UD stains may be removed from
colored goods by ﬁrst letting
the mud dry thoroughly and
brushing the spot. Then: cover with
a mixture of salt and ﬂour and leave
standing for a time in a dry place.

Yet in this same room with you are voices of utmost silence, whose every

voices, for they have to be sincere. Else they would not be in these pages—-

Feeding Plants.——I am writing you in

regard to feeding plants. How do you
feed plants? I have heard that plants
can be fed, if so please tell 'me how.—C.
R., Gladwin, Michigan.
——Plants are fed by the application of
fertilizers which contain the nutrients
necessary for plant growth. The simplest
food given plants is composed of a. fertil-
izer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and
potash in available form. For house
plants the safest means is to buy a. mix-
ture prepared for the purpose and obtain-
ed at the nearest seedsman or ﬂorist with
directions appended—Prof. Alex Laurie,
Charge of F‘lorlculture, M. S. C.

 

Care of Narcissus Bulbs.—I would like
to know lt anybody has grown narcissus
as I would like to know how to care for
the bulbs.-—-Mrs. L. M., East Jordan,
Mlchigam.

—-Narclssl bulbs may be saved after ﬂow-
ering, by allowing the foliage to remain
on the bulbs until it becomes browned
and dried off. The bulb may then be
placed in a cool dry place until next sea-

“ -Imnmnmmmmmnmmmnnmum

 
    

son. Although this is done, the results
do not justify the effort. Usually the

following year nothing but foliage-will ,

appear from the bulb. The ﬂowers are
produced from the substance of the bulb,
which is largely exhausted during one
season thus making blossoming the fol-
lowing yeai' a rather uncertain matter.
It is best to buy new bulbs every year,
especially if they have been grown in
water. Daﬂodils and hyacinths may be
set out of doors in the spring and may
bloom outdoors the next spring—Prof.
gleé Laurie, Charge of Floriculture, M.

“Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and

some of the readers will send them in I
will appreciate it.———Mrs. S., Walkerville,
Michigan.

,Would cull beans ground with
other grains 'rriake good feedlot-
horses, cattle, hogs and sheepfl—J.
F., Chesaning, Mich. “

ULL beans are not to be recom-
mended for horse feeding either
ground or whole.
have their greatesbvalug for hog

feeding. They should not need to
be ground but should by all means
be cooked and should not constitute
more than one-half of the ration, the

remainder consisting of some car-

bonaceous grain, such as corn or bar-
ley. For best results they should
be fed to shoats above 75 pounds in
weight. Whole cull- beans are also
a‘ very good feed for fattening sheep
or lambs. One-third of the grain
ration of fattening lambs may well
consist of cull beans. Considerable
care is necessary in feeding cull
beans to breeding ewes, especially at
lambing time. It is my judgment
that they should never constitute
more than one-fourth oi the grain
ration for breeding ewes. Ground
cull beans may be fed in limited
amounts to cattle, about two pounds
per head daily is as much as it is
desirable to feed. When more than
this amount is being fed digestive
disturbances are apt to result. Cook-
ed cull beans may be fed to cattle in
considerably larger amounts. In
feeding as much as two pounds of
ground cull beans to cattle it is neces-
sary to mix them with some other
feed such as ground oats or bran in
order to induce the cattle to eat
them.——Geo. A. Brown, Professorof
Animal Husbandry, M. S. C.

 

WEIGHT OF FLEECE

Please tell me what you would
consider a fair weight for the ﬂeece
of a two-year old sheep.—W. W.,
Muskegon, Mich.

' HE weight of wool which a sheep
will produce varies with the
breed and also with the care

which the sheep received. The aver-
age wool clip of Michigan is between
seven and eight pounds per head.

pounds of greaSe wool. A good doc}:
of coarse wool sheep, such as Cots-
wold, Lincoln arid Leicester also
shear very heavy averaging upWards .
to twelve pounds. The medium wool
sheep such as Shropshire, .Hamp-
shire and Oxford usually shear be-
tween seven and ten pounds of wool
per head. ,

The different amounts of wool in-
dicated above as being produced by
these different breeds of sheep would
not indicate their comparative value
for wool production owing to other
factors which must be considered,
such as the quality of the wool and
its shrinkage—Geo. A. Brown, Prof.
of Animal Husbandry, M. S. C.

SALTING BUTTER. ~

As am making butter would like to

know the correct amount of salt to

the pound of butter.—Mrs. O. A. 'K.,
Kendall, Michigan.

E amount of salt used in butter

is variable. The ' c o m m o n

amount, however, is $5 oz. per
pound of butterfat. Heavily salted
butter may have added to it as much
as 3%, of an ounce. The tendency at
the” present time is light calling.—

Dairy Manufactures, M. S. C.

of them open. It was ﬁlled with a

B. a year ago and found 0. K. Can
you tell me what to do?———G. M.,
Boyne City, Mich.

CANNOT tell you just what has

caused these growths; it is

doubtful it any treatment will do
them much if any good but you may
try painting them every day with
equal parts of iodine and glycerine.
I would not use h‘er milk myself;
it you do not do this you may get
3 ounces of potassium iodide and dis-
solve in a quart of water and give
her a tablespoonful on her feed night
and morning.

PUP HAS WORMS

I have a puppy three months old
that has some kind of spells. It will
start up and run and bark as if some
one was after it; for a minute or two,
then it will tremble all over and
seems so nervous. I thought maybe
it was worms. Please tell what the
trouble is and what to do.——Mrs. B.,
Charlotte, Mich.

HIS condition may be caused by
worms; it may also be caused
by a couple of other causes.

We will try the worms ﬁrst; get
some tablets about 1179 dozen con-
taining 1-10 grain of santonin and
1—10 grain of calomel. Give this
puppy 1 of these three times each
day until the entire lot are given.
Then if this is due to worms it
should improve in a couple or three
weeks.

tion in my herd I would appreciate

have also visited with many other

ular and uncertain. I would advise
you to get the best veterinarian you

. “More Milk with More Cow
‘f Leit at the End of the Year”

Mllkmaker, a Public Formula Ration.
Builds for the Future

‘é  important part that Milkmaker plays

in Michigan dairying is probably best set

: forth in the claims made by hundreds of Mich-
' 1gan’s leading dmrymen who have used Milk-
..3 maker continuously for one or more years.

These dairymcn tell us that they have secured

the following results by the use of Milkmakcr,
l VIZ: “

l. Cows have kept up in better ﬂesh and

better ghysical condition.
2.

ows have maintained a larger and more

even ﬂow of milk.

3. Calves better developed and stronger at

birth.

4. Freedom from trouble with cows at

calving time; no retained afterbirth and no udder trouble.

The strongest advocates of course are those dairymen who have used Milkmaker con.
tinuously since it came on the market in 1922.

Buying a Better Herd

These men have realized that in buying and using Milkmaker they are assuring themselves
of a better herd of cows two or three years hence. ,

In buying a be of dairy feed you do not buy the feed for the feed itself, but for the
ultimate results 0 tained. The results to be obtained are not necessarily determined by
the price of the feed. ‘The real value of the feed is determined by the per cent of digestible
protein and digestible nutrients, both of which determine results.

A commmhnse among users _of Milkmaker is “More milk with more con;

HESE brand-new De Laval Separators

are now on display by De Laval Agents.

We invite all cream separator users to,

see and try them, for we are conﬁdent all who
do so will agree that they are the best cream
separators ever made. They are the crowning
achievement in nearly 50 years of separator
manufacture and leadership. New features are:

1. Turntable Supply Can. The supply
can may be turned so that tinware and bowl
may be put in place or removed without
lifting the supply can from its position on the
separator. Every user will like this feature.

a. Easier Turning. For three years the
De Laval experimental and engineering
departments have been conducting extensive
tests, to develop still easier turning separators.
The results of these tests are embodied in this
new series, which both start and turn easier
than any other machines of even less capacities.
3. Oil Window. The new oil window
enables you to see at all times the level and
condition of the oil. It shows at a glance whether
or not the separator is being properly oiled.

4. Floating Bowl. All new De Lavals
have the wonderful “ﬂoating bowl,” now used
in De Laval Separators with such wonderful
results. It is self-balancing, runs smoothly
without vibration, with the least power and
wear, skims cleaner and delivers a richer,
smoother cream.

CHANGE OF HOUR. OF
BROADCASTING

EVERAL changes have been
made in the program from sta-
tion WGHP which include the

hour of broadcasting the U. S. Farm
School and the M. B. F. market re-
ports. The market reports are now
being broadcasj; at 6:40 instead of
7:05, while the Farm School is gov
ing on the air at 6:15 instead of
6:40. This applies to every night
except Tuesday when both of them
are broadcast at 6:15. If, for any
reason, this change is not satisfac-
tory we will appreciate hearing from
you. .

TO DISCONTINUE FARM SCHOOL

HE U. S. Farm School which we
T are broadcasting each evening,
except Saturday and Sunday,

is to be soon discontinued. The ma-
terial is furnished to us by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture and we
are informed by them that the live-
stock lessons and the dairy talks
will close on April 15th, but the
poultry course will be continued
until May 11th. In the place of
these special programs will be re-
leased from time to time during the
spring and summer months. Also
we will broadcast talks and news of
interest to our farm listeners. Next
fall we will again have something
like the Farm School which we know
you will ﬁnd helpful and interesting.

RADIO NOTES

ADIO experts have ﬁgured it out
that is costs the owner of the
average receiver a little over

7%0 an hour to operate his set.
That includes everything—a ﬁve—
tube set at $80, storage A battery,
and two heavy duty B batteries or a
B eliminator. The life of the “aver-
age set’ is ﬁgured four years.

Radio concerts are being given
to the passengers on a Russian rail—
road. Each compartment contains
wall plugs for loud speakers and
telephones.

A new tube has been invented that
does away with any batteries or cur-
rent supply devices. How soon they
will be on sale is not known but it
is believed that it will revolutionize
the radio industry.

A native and resident of Ireland
wrote a Chicago station that he re-
ceived their broadcasting on a one-
tube set with a 15-foot aerial.

In Germany they are using the
radio to teach foreign languages.

Recently a Hartford, Connecticut,
milkman turned on his radio before
starting on his route in the morning.
He heard an amateur broadcasting
station in Ohio sending out a mes-
sage to a man who lived in that tOWn
and was on his route, so he wrote
the message on a sheet of paper and
delivered it with the milk within an
hour.

- he south“ and is some-
told. it would. .not be suitable for
alfalfa on that account. I want to
put'lime on? it and not have anything
fora n'urse crop with it, so as to
get a stand. Please tell how to go
at,_it—what time to put it in, how
much lime .to use, and what, and
kind, and all the particulars.”-.—-—Mrs.
A. M., Lawrence, Mich.

Mrs. A. M. has a qhestion_,much in
keeping with the topic of the day.
She ‘does not say how fertile“ the ﬁeld
is, or what its soil is. If the ﬁeld is
not in a'good state of fertility, al-
falfa will not do well on it unless
some manure or, commercial fertil-
izer is applied. Alfalfa does not al-
ways succeed on fertile land, but
seldom, very seldom succeeds on
poor land. . ,

I believe Mrs. A. M. might just as
well try'for alfalfa as clover. The
ﬁeld being corn stubble, plow the
land before May 1st in order to help
control the corn borer. Drag it at in-
tervals frequent enough to keep the
weeds in check and if heavy rains
come it should be worked as soon
after as the soil is ’dry enough. This
is to conserve the moisture for alfal-
fa sedeing time. In the ﬁnal analysis,

moisture in sufficient quantities is, ,
without doubt, the big factor in get- ‘

ting alfalfa to start well. It will
stand considerable dryness after it
has attained a growth of four inches
or so, but until then, it requires a
moist condition if it is to prosper.
It will pay to test the soil for sour-
ness. Your county agent will gladly
help you do this. If you are so un-
fortunate as not to have a county
agent, you can test it for yourself
by sending to. the M. S. C. at East
Lansing, and getting a soil testing
outfit. This will cost twenty-ﬁve
cents—full directions accompany it.

Agricultural lime is mostly used
and not less than 600 pounds per
acre is our way of using it. I believe
ground limestone is better but it is
so difficult to obtain when We want
it. The lime may be sown any time
after plowing, and perhaps the
sooner the better. '

I am sure it will pay to use 150 or
200 pounds of good fertilizer per
acre, say one of 3-12—2 analysis, or
one as good. This will help the
plants get a hustle on as nothing else
will, unless the ﬁeld can be top-
dressed with stable manure, (and
the latter will cause weeds to be a
very great. nuisance).

The seed should be inoculated. If
weather is right, sow it about the
8th to 12th of June. It conditions

at this time are not ‘ideal for the.

germination of seed and dry weather
is feared, we would not sow it until
after some heavy rain in August.
The fertilizer should not be applied
until about two weeks before seed-
ing time. However, it will not lose
much value if sown at an early time.
We like to sow the seed with a disk
drill, letting the seed run through
the tubes into the disk furrow as
grain does, being careful not to cov-
er more than one inch deep. This
can be done if the soil is as compact
as it should be.

We sow the. seed on our wheat
in the spring with a drill as above
stated. The drill will not hurt the
wheat and even a spring tooth har-
row used to drag the seed in, (when
it is sown with a broadcast hand
seeder) has never hurt the Wheat
any. We have had soil so loose the
drill covered the seed too deep when
used as above stated, and then we
let the seed fall anywhere, as the
seed tubes were removed from those
connected with the disk. Then drag
chains are used to cover the seed.
However, the ground is seldom loose
enough for this practice, and cover-
ing up grain is to be recommended
where possible.

The sugar beet acreage will be increased
about 20 per cent around Lansing this
year, reports indicate.

Animals like ‘oat
wheat straw. It contains less crude ﬁbre
and is easier to digest. _

having returned from a deer limits
ing trip. He said he stayed in the
kitchen and talked to his parents
from there and while telling them of
how the chicken coop had been
robbed only a week ago, he noticed
a car coming from the north at a.‘
very slow rate of speed. He re—
marked at the time about the car
and said that it looked as though
folks in the,car were chicken hun-
gry. He watched the car go on past
the house, stop at the barn and two
men sneak around the barn, and the
car going on up the road. .At this
point his father got up and hurriedly
dressed and as be rushed out the
door he handed his father the riﬂe
and he and his father ran towards
the chicken coop where they saw a
form standing. Ralph related how
his father shouted, “Hey, what are
you doing around that chicken
coop?” As they ran closer his father
yelled, “Halt, stop or I will shoot,”
this was repeated two or . three
times. He told how one man, who‘
proved to be Telfor, stood still, while
another man was seen running from
the chicken coop. His father con-
tinued to pursue the ﬂeeing man and
after ordering him to stop or he
would shoot and repeating it two or
three times his father ﬁred, but the
man kept on running until his father
caught him by the shoulder and
threw him tothe ground after quite
a tussle. Ralph remained with Tel—
for while his father was chasing the
man who proved to be Ted Sixbury.
It was Ralph’s opinion that Sixbury
was very much intoxicated.

'Wilson Takes Stand I

One of the highly dramatic mo-
ments of the trial occurred when L.
J. Wilson was called to the stand
following his son’s testimony. Wil-
son told of how he had returned
home on the night of November
24th, about eight—thirty or nine

 

 

GOOD WEATHER. MAKES
GOOD HATCHES

AMHERYMEN report that

1927, to date, has been an

unusually good year for
hatching eggs. Ordinarily Feb-
ruary and March batches are
40 to 50 per cent but this year,
because of the mild weather,
50 to 75 per- cent of the eggs
put. in the incubabors have
hatched out chicks.

 

o’clock. He said he had looked to
See whether or not the chicken coop
was looked as he had ordered Rasty
Peterson to keep the coop locked
while he was away deer hunting. He
found that the coop was locked and
shortly afterwards retired. The
balance of his testimony veriﬁed the
story told by his son Ralph and by
Telfor.

Wilson said he did not mean to
hit the man but had shot to stop
him and he certainly did not intend
to kill him. Upon cross examination
he said he did not shoot because he
was angry or out of revenge, but
admitted he was provoked.

“James Wilson, . father of L. J.
Wilson was next called and he told
of ﬁnding the lock and some keys
about a rod from the tussle on the
night of the robbery. The keys
James Wilson found, however, did
not ﬁt the lock.

Deputy Sheriff Bopp was recalled
to the stand and was shown a
memorandum he wrote op the night
of the robbery, which read, “Found
keys in pocket of Ted Sixbury
(clothes of Ted Sixbury) at hos—
pital.” Bapp said the writing was
his and that he later tried the keys
found in thé clothes of Sixbury and
found they unlocked the lock found
by James Wilson at the scene of the
tussle between L. J. Wilson and Ted
Sixbury.

Mrs. L. J. Wilson was then ‘called
and told of the events leading up to
the Ishooting. She stated she heard
her husband yell to the men to stop,
and that she later heard him yell to
callthe officers. 7 ‘ .

‘ Brad show in preventing .
Mar-rhea

The following letter will no doubt
be, of 'utmoist interest to poultry
raisers. who have had serious losses
from White Diarrhea. We will let
Mrs. Bradshaw tell of. her experience
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. I used to lose a
great many, from this cause, tried
many remedies and was about dis-
couraged. As a last resort I sent
to the Walker Remedy 00., Dept.
527, Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko
White Diarrhea Remedy. I used two
50c packages, raised 300 White Wy-
andottes and never lost one or had
one sick after giving the medicine
and my chickens are larger and
healthier than ever before. I have
found this company thoroughly reli-
able and always get the remedy by
return mail.”—Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw,
Beaconsﬁeld, 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 afe 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 First Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,
Iowa, writes: “My ﬁrst incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, be—
gan to die by the dozens with White
Diarrhea. I tried different remedies
and was about discouraged with the
chicken business. Finally, I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo,
Iowa,.for a box of their Walko White
Diarrhea Remedy. It’sjust the only
thing for this terrible disease. We
raised 70-0 thrifty, healthy chicks
and never lost a single chick after
the ﬁrst dose.”

It’s easy to stop chicks dying from
white diarrhea. All you need do is
drop an Avicol tablet in the drinking
water. Thousands of poultry raisers,
year after_year. raise nearly every chick
y this simple recaution. Mrs. E. E.
Franks, Ramsdel, Tex., writes: “I was
losing 10 to 15 chicks a day before I re-

. for the; ‘ {thine ‘whether
or not a felony; had been committed.
He said the lam/mastudecide whe-
ther Wilson Was attempting to make

 
 
 

cause he was angry, or. out of. fe-
venge, and ﬁnally did he shoot be-
cause he couldn’t catch the man in
any other way.
, Defense Attorney Rarden in clos-‘
ing for Wilson questioned whether a
homicide had been committed Or not
as the testimony of Dr. Weaver had
shown that it was doubtful as to the
actual cause of Ted Sixbury’s death.
He showed that Wilson had not
'shot to kill, that there was no ele-
ment of anger or revenge, but that
Wilson had shot to make an arrest
and that his subsequent actions of
immediately calling the officers
proved his statement.

J 11ng Reviews Case

Judge Hawley, owing to the State
wide interest inthe trial, very care—
fully reviewed the case for the jury.
He repeated over and over the lead-
ing points in question, consuming
forty minutes in charging the jury.
His whole charge might be summed
up in the question he left for the
decision of the jury—whether Wil-
son as a private citizen was attempt-
ing to make an arrest of Sixbury,
surprised in the commission of a
felony, or whether he did the shoot-
ing as an act of personal revenge.

The case was given to the jury at
3:24 p. In. and at 3:34 p. m. they
returned to the jury box—they had
been out only ten minutes. Before
the jury was allowed to state their
ﬁndings, Judge Hawley cautioned
a g a in s t any demonstration and
warned any person or persons caus—
ing such demonstration that they
would be brought before the court
to give cause for their act.

In spite of the words of caution
when the jury foreman spoke the
words freeing Wilson enthusiasm
knew no bounds, men and women
rushed to clasp Wilson by the hand
and to slap him on the.back in sheer
joy. The crowd that had stood for
hours on the stairs when they heard
the word gave a cheer for Wilson
and there seemed no limit to the joy
expressed by everyone. The jury-
men were heartily congratulated.
One of the jury stated that they
could have come back in ﬁve minutes
but they wanted to catch their
breath before returning to the court
room.

No only has Wilson been vindi-
cated—but What is equally as impor-
tant—every farmer in the State has
been vindicated. It has been deter-
mined that the farmer of this State
can protect their property and they
have the Wilson case as authority to
back them up. Wilson has suffered
much through this whole affair, but
he has suffered in a just cause and
the farmers all over Michigan are
justly proud of him for his courage
throughout the whole trying period
following the shooting, right on
through the ﬁnal trial. Men who
make it their business to steal from
farmers have been taught a great
lesson from the Wilson case. They
have been warned for all time that
the farmers have some rights after
all, and that they can use those
rights whenever the occasion arises
in the future—~thanks to Mr. L. J.
Wilson of Greenville.

When the meeting got under way
shortly after 8 o’clock.

Regular business was ﬁrst taken
up and several new members were
Then speakers were in-
troduced. First the Editor of M. B.
F. said a. few words regarding the
acquittal of L. J. Wilson, the Green—
ville farmer who shot a chicken
thief, and he advised those present
that we believed we had mere than
sufficient funds to take care of all
expenses.

The featured speaker of the eve-
ning was Prof. J. A. Hannah, of the
poultry deparment of the M. S. C.
He is called the god—father of the as—
sociation as he helped the poultry—
men organize in this county. This,
together with the fact that he was
to discuss the possibilities of over-
production of poultry, might have
had a little to do with the large at-
tendance. Certainly they paid most
careful attention to Prof. Hannah’s
talk and at the conclusion several
asked him questions.

It is his opinion, based on careful
study, that there is little danger of
an over-production for many years
to come, becauseof the efforts along
various lines to increase consump-
tion. In the United States the per
capita egg consumption between“
1900 and 1925 increased from 194
eggs to 208. During the same time
the consumption in Canada per .per-
son doubled. National Egg Week,
May 1—7, this year, is to be an annual
a'ffair, he stated. 0

He was followed by an expert on
R. O. P. work with poultry who
talked brieﬂy on the work being
done along that line.

The meeting was then brought to
a close and Prof. Hannah found him—
self the center of a group of eager
men and women who ﬁred questions
at him, keeping him busy for some
time replying to them.

LICE IN BROODER
I have a brooder house that I have
a. coal burner in and'iast year I had
lice on my baby chicks. I have a
board ﬂoor in the building and it is
about twelve inches from the ground.
Now how am I to thoroughly rid my
brooder so that it will be safe for a
brooder this spring?———P. D. R., Van-
dalia, Mich.
WOULD expect that while one
might have had lice in the brood—
or house last season, that the
winter’s freezeing and the absence of
birds in the brooder house during
the winter months, would entirely
eliminate danger at this time of year.
If one thought, however, that there
might be lice in the house, it would
be advisable to disinfect the house
with a good coal tar disinfectant—~—
C. G. Card, Professor of Poultry Hus-
bandry, M. S. C.

TUBERCULOSIS

We have a disease among our
ﬂock of chickens that makes them
get lame when they look like they
are in good health. They lose their
appetites all at once and linger for
several weeks. Then again they will
fall oﬁ the roost nearly dead with a
full crop—R. T. B., Cassopolis, Mich.
OUR chickens evidently have
tuberculosis and it would be
well for you to take one or two
of them to your local veterinarian
or your county agent for examina}
tion. Then if this is right about the
only thing you can do is clean up
this ﬂock and disinfect thoroughly
and start over with a new ﬂock.—

Dr. Geo. H. Conn.

S. 0. OR R. C. REDS
Will you please tell me if there is
any difference in the egg production
of the single or rose comb Rhode Is-
land Red hens?—A Reader.

HERE is very little difference be-
tween the two as far as produc-
tion is concerned the difference

being in' the breeding behind the par-
ticular bird and not the comb. The

ability of a bird to produce eggs

economically depends largely upon

the breeding back of that bird for

the past several generations and
there are good strains of both S. C.

and R. C. Reds—J. A. Hannah,

Poultry Specialist, S. C. ~

1 Plan Larger Grain. and Potato Acreage
’ Cattle and Lambs Are Selling High ' ‘ 0
By W. W. FOOTE, Market EditAII'.

   

RMERS everywhere are getting

ready for sowing their grain

and other spring work, and from
all that can be learned from official
sources, it looks like a considerably
larger grain acreage,than was put in
a-year ago, despite the disappoint-
ing low prices that have been paid,
especially for corn and wheat in re—
cent weeks.

It looks like a considerable expan—
sion of the potato acreage this year,
as ,the Department of Agriculture
ﬁnds that potato growers are likely
to plant 3,620,000 acres, or 15 per
cent more than last year, and 17 per
cent more than two years ago. A
heavy gain is noted in Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The Fall in Grain Prices

Within a short time all the grains
sold at the lowest prices of the
season, the decline in wheat from
the previous high time several weeks
earlier being about 11 cents per
bushel for May delivery. Sales were
made around $1.34, comparing with
$1.59 a year ago. The lower prices
started up quite a lively export de-
mand for the better kinds of wheat,
and there was a small advance.
Plenty of wheat is left for all do—
mestic and foreign requirements,
and a short time ago the visible
supply in the United States stood at
50,321,000 bushels, comparing with
33,674,00-0 bushels a year ago. At
the same time the visible corn sup-
ply stood at 48,330,000 bushels,
compared with 37,197,000 bushels
a year ago; that of oats at 38,958,—
000 bushels, comparing with 53,—
973,000 bushels a year ago; that of
rye at 14,365,000 bushels. compar—
ing with 13,715,000 bushels a year
ago; and that of barley at 3,281,—
0100 bushels, comparing with 5,285,—
000 bushels last year. May corn has
sold around 72 cents, about the same
as at this time in 1926. May oats
at 44 cents was a few cents above
last year. May rye at $1.02 com—
pared with 88 cents a year ago.

Hogs and Provisions

It has been demonstrated repeat—
edly that only by keeping dowu mar—
ket supplies of hogs to moderate
numbers can prices be kept from de-
clining, and even then sellers are
greatly dependant upon buying of
eastern packers in the Chicago stock
yards, for the big local packers have
assumed an extremely bearish atti—
tude at such times as the receipts
happened to be comparatively large.
For weeks it has been evident that
the market was weakened by the ab-
sence of speculation in the provision
market and the great falling off in
the exports of lard and cured hog
meats, which resulted in the check-
ing of outside competition, leaving
more of our hog products for home
consumption. Hog prices underwent
some big declines, with the packers
in control much of the time, but
there were 4times when stockmen
helped themselves by withholding
supplies. Hogs continued to sell
much lower than one and two years
ago, but far higher than in other
recent years, and choice light bacon
hogs sold at a liberal premium over
heavy lots because weighty swine
comprised the great bulk of the daily
offerings. Many farmers have made
good proﬁts by feeding low-priced
corn to hogs, and a world of ,soft
corn was utilized in this way. In
some districts hog breeding has fall—
en off, and the year's receipts in
western packing points have been far
smaller than in recent years. Mar-
keting hogs is very irregular, and
following a recent 'week of much
samller Chicago receipts than usual,
farmers rushed in about 70,000 hogs
on the following Monday, bringing
about a big break in prices. Hogs
have sold 01' late at prices that
looked very low when it was re-
called that they brought a year ago

 $10 to $13.10 and two years ago
23.11.40 to $13.10.

But three years
 they sold at, $6.65't0 $7.70,.and
.1  1 0 higher. than in most; recent

W00. light has! ~ still .,
’ ‘  , was!

   

 
 
 

"far above the best heavy lots. Late

hog sales were at $9.65 to $11.75.
Prime Cattle Go Higher
Most of the time enough beef
cattle reach western packing points
to meet the domestic beef require-
ments, there being no longer any
important foreign outlet, but for

many weeks there has been an in— -

creasing scarcity of .well ﬁnished,
long fed cattle of heavy steers, and
these have undergone frequent ad-
vances in prices in the Chicago and
other markets. Other grades of
cattle sell much higher than in re—
cent years, but heavy corn—fed steers
have sold far above prices paid a
year ago, while last year, as in most
past years, yearlings sold at a pre-
mium on the approach of warmer
weather. Recent sales of steers
were made at $8.65 to $13.65,
largely at $9.25 to $12.50, with the

best yearlings at $12.25 and the best .

heavy steers the highest since the

fall of 1925. On a recent Monday

some 1436 pound steers topped the

market at $13.60, the next best sale
being $13 for some that averaged
1387 pounds. Seldom in the past
has the cattle industry been so pro-
fitable, and the best lots are great
money-makers. Fat cows and heifers
sell at $7 to $11, and_stockers and
feeders are scarce with a good de—
mand at $8 to $9.75, but not many
over $9 and no good ones below
$8.50. A year ago beef steers sold
at $7.60 to $10.50 and two years
ago at $7.75 to $12.50. Dairy cows
are in good demand at $75 to $110,
well—bred Holsteins going the high—
est. There was a late decline of 25
cents in stockers and feeders.
Illinois spring lambs, the ﬁrst of
the season, averaging 51 pounds,
were sold in the Chicago market re-
cently for $21 per 100 pounds. Fed
lambs advanced to $17 on small re-
ceipts, comparing with $13.75 a
year ago, and sheep and yearlings
‘were scarce and high, top yearlings
being almost nominal at $15. Feed-

, , WHEAT
The wonderful spring weather we
have been having has far from
helped the wheat market.

are such as to act bearish on prices.
Some damage to the new crop is re—
ported in‘ the west but it does~ not
seem serious. Wheat, in general, is
selling fully 30c lower"-than a year
ago.

 

CORN
There seems to be little change in
the corn market, although the cash
situation appears stronger and it is
hoped that it will result in higher
prices.

OATS
Oats follow other grains with the
market featureless. Demand is fair
and “it is believed that cats are a

,good buy at present prices. . ~

RYE
Opinions are bullish on rye. Ex—
port demand has declined but so
have supplies so the position of the
market has not changed.

BEANS

Beans appear to be about the most
undesirable property one can own at
present. The market is in a dull
position and any attempt to learn
the reason why ends up with a lot of
question marks. Maybe the com—
mittee appointed by Hon. Herbert E.
Powell, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, will ﬁnd out what is wrong.
Kidneys beans are quoted from
$4.90 for dark reds to $6.75 for
light reds.

POTATOES
Carlots of potatoes are unchanged
and steady. Many guesses are being
made as to this year’s acreage and
after summing them all up one ar-
rives at the conclusion that it will
be about the same as last year.

HAY

Receipts are not heavy and de-
mand is slow. Pastures are coming
along ﬁne.

Quality plain, nominally steady to weak;
wooled lambs eligible around $16.50;
clipped kinds around $15.

CHICAGO—Livestock trade lacked ac-
tion Saturday, with most of the stock
going direct to packers.

Demand for hogs was slow but sellers
held for steady values. Most of the 3,000
arrivals went to packers and supplies were
hardly large enough to test the trade.
Choice lots sold at $11.70@11.75, com-
pared with $12.25 paid a. week ago. Most
good heavy butchers brought $10.75 and
down on a steady market. 0

Only about 200 cattle arrived and trade
was only nominal. For the week the mar-
ket was uneven. Prime heavy steers sold
to $13.65 for the year’s high, and best
kinds closed strong to 25 cents higher.
Medium and plainer grades however, were
03 that much. Fat cows gained 25 cents
and bulls close .10@15 cents higher.
Calves up about 50 cents.

Nearly all of the 5,000 sheep and lambs
went direct to packers. The market was
nominally steady. Fat lambs closed 356)
50 cents higher for the week, with shorn
lots showing most gain. Wool lambs were
quoted at $16.40, with best sham lots at
$16.10. Shearing lambs were up 25@40
cents and sheep gained 25650 cents, with
best light ewes to $10.50.  .

A RECIPITATION and tempera-

gan. ,
During the ﬁrst few days of the,

week the weather will be generally ’

unsettled to threatening with scat-
tered light showers or possible snow
ﬂurries in some of the northern
counties.

Temperatures during early part
of week will be warm but about the
middle of the week they will change
to lower readings. ‘

At about the same time the sky ‘

will clear 01!. However, this will
only be a brief spell as the latter
days of the week will again become
unsettled.

Week of April 17

Temperatures during the greater
part of this week will still average
below the normal. Precipitation will
be more plentiful. ,

While there will be cloudy and
threatening weather during early,
part of week, we also believe there
Will be a strong force at work to
clear up the atmosphere. As a result
we. look for rather changeable or
contrary conditions. 7

There will be heavy rains and high
winds from about the middle of the
week until shortly after but as the
end of the week approaches the. sky-:3
will clear and cool, fair weather may.
