Now, to go back and review the
status of the corn borer, what he has
been doing, and why this unprece-

dented anxiety over an insect pest.

The European Corn Borer was ﬁrst
found in this country about ten years
ago.‘ People who claim to have
known this ‘borer here for years are
mistaken, and have confused this
worm with some other, perhaps
closely related but much less danger-
ous pest. Some of the cousins of
this European invader resemble him
so much that they can be distin-
guished only by highly trained and
experienced insect experts. None of
them have, proven anywhere near so
destructive as the European corn
borer, however, and the problem
with this pest is a new one and a
very serious one.

Nears the Corn Belt

Year by year this new pest has
spread out from New England, from
New York and from Canada until his
invasion borders on the very heart
ofthe corn belt. His outposts are
already 0n the head waters of the
Mississippi.and it seems certain that
he will become established wherever
corn is grown.

Do To Control the Corn Borer? ”“1

-' This Question‘d’nd Seoeral Others Regarding This Pest Are Discussed and Answered

By H. C. RATHER

Extension L’eader, Corn Borer Work, M. S. C.

5

Don’t tell
the residentsvof Kent or Essex count-
ies that the corn borer isn’t danger-
ous, and den’t take my word for it if
you have any doubts, A day’s ride
from any place in the Michigan corn
borer area will take you into Ontario
a few miles from Detroit, and there is
all the evidence anyone' needs to
prove what the corn borer, uncon-
trolled, can do.

There is no apparent reason in the
world why the corn borer cannot do
the same thing in Michigan, or in
the whole United States that he has
already done in Ontario. Here the

‘stakes are much larger; a $50,000,-

000 crop in Michigan; a $2,000,000,-
000 crop in the United States.

The borer already has a strong
foot—hold in ﬁve states outside of
New England. 'So far, there has been
but little commercial loss in Michi-
gan. Last year some sweet corn
ﬁelds in Monroe county were a total
commercial loss, but real damage
was not wide spread. If Michigan
farmers continue to cleanup in the
ﬁne Way they did last spring, or even
better, there need be no great com-
mercial losses. The borer will con-
tinue to advance slowly, corn grow—
ing will be a little more expensive,

Eight Counties in Gaylord Show

EPARATIONS are well under

, way for holding the ﬁfth annual

Top 0’ Michigan Potato and Ap-
ple ‘Show at Gaylord on November 2,
3, and 4.

This show has grown from one of
few entries back in 1922 until last
year there were over 350 entries in
all departments. This year a super-
intendent has been appointed for
each department to facilitate the
handling of entries and exhibits.

Mr. A. C. Lyle, secretary of the
show, is very optimistic over the at-
titude of several of the large apple
growers of northern Michigan. They
have promised to make liberal en—
tries. “While we are interested pri—
marily in potatoes in northern Mich-

igan we also realize that several of

the counties in the Top 0’ Michigan
Association produce high quality ap—
ples,” remarked Mr. Lytle. Increased
premiums in apples should be added
incentive for all apple growers to
make entries thisyear.‘

In potato exhibits this show is the
best. in the_State. The competition is

The ten year average for potatoes
in the State is only 103 bushels. The
ten year average for the Top 0’
Michigan counties is only 108. The
average for the State last year was
120 bushels while the Top 0’ Mich-
igan average was 145 bushels per
acre. Growers and others interested
in the show believe that much of this
beneﬁt has been derived by competi-
tion in the show room. -

This year Charlevoix county has
entered the Association. The Top
0’ Michigan Potato Show Association
now comprises the eight counties of
Emmet, Cheboygan, Presque Isle,-
Charlevoix, Antrim, Otsego, Mont-
morency, and Alpena.

Other contributing agencies are
the State Department of Agriculture,
the Michigan State College, and the
Michigan Central Railroad.

will be made, but corn will still be

successfully and proﬁtably grown as

one of our most important crops.
Low Cutting

New methods are rapidly being dear
veloped which make the control of
the corn borer easier. One of the
more promising of these is the low-
cutting attachment to the ordinary
corn binder. This attachment costs .
but little and, under good conditions
leaves less than two inches of stub-
ble. One binder working in northern
Ohio left a stubble which averaged
seven-tenths of an inch in length
and only two per cent of the stubbles
were over two inches.

The low-cutter is an effective aid
to corn borer control, because the
stalk is cut off below the place where
the borer is likely to be hiding. If a.
clean job of cutting is done which
leaves less than a two-inch stubble,
and if the stalks which contain the
borer are ﬁnely ground, ﬁnely shred-
ded, or properly ensiled that job of
killing borers is done for the season.
Ensiling the corn does not give the
borers which are in the ensiled stalks
a chance. They are either cut to
pieces beforehand or killed by for
mentation afterwards. Proper shred-
ding or grinding, so the stalks are
ﬁnely cut, is about ninety—eight or
ninety—nine per cent effective, accord« -
ing to goverment entomologists.

Urge Plowing

The low—cutter ‘will likely prove
the best weapon for the farmer who
wants to disc small grain into corn
stubble without plowing. Discing
the grain in undestroyed stubble
which has not been cut low is bad,
and does not give any measure of
borer control. Unless a low—cutter
or stubble heater is used, Michigan __
farmers should plow for all small
grains. Fall plowing for cats and. '
barley is more desirable than
spring plowing, both from the stand-
point of borer control and the eﬁect
on the small grains. Fall plowing
more’than pays for itself in the in-
creased yield of the grain. Spring
plowing also usually gives a slight.
increase in yield over merely discing
the land, so corn borer control meas-
ures are really in keeping with the .
best farmingpractices. ‘7 -

Certain heavy sticky soils do not
plow very well, especially in wet
weather. If a low-cutter or a stub-
ble beater has not been used, raking
and burning may be resorted to. This
works fairly well with hogged off
stalks or standing corn when the
stalks are poled off or broken off
with a T-rail, then raked and burned.‘

3 to 4 Bushels perAcre

—are overlooked by huskers according to various authorities
who have kept accurate records over a period of time.

Bernard Vogen, Rushford, Minn., writes us that “the aver-
age man gathering standing corn will leave several bushels
per acre in the ﬁeld. It costs from 4 to 6 cents per bushel
to gather and store a crop of corn. Hogs will gather it for
nothing and make it into pork.”

How much does it cost you NOT to have hog-tight fence?
Evsen only 3 bushels wasted per acre on 40 acres at 80 cents
is 96.00.

RED BRAND FENCE

“Galvannealed”—Copper Bearing

will make enough extra grain and live stock proﬁts to pay for itself in 1 to3
years by making possible hogging-down, rotating crops, pasturing after
harvest, etc.. and the proﬁts will pile up for many, many years.

C. W. Lynn, Norman, Neb., writes: “My hogs paid me $1.26 per bushel
for my corn in a 20-acre ﬁeld. Hog-tight fence saved me the labor of husking,
shelling and hauling (all big items) to say nothing of the higher grade of
market hogs and the premium on my corn crop.”

Gotlieb Detke, Appleton, Minn., hauls no manure, his farm produces
twice as much as it used to and is worth double what it was before he
fenced stock-tight.

A. E. Longenecker, Leonida, Mich., says 20 sheep and one sow will pay
the taxes on a ZOO-acre farm and build 100 rods of fence each year.

We have thousands of other comments from successful farmers telling
about the extra proﬁts that are the result
of hog-tight fence.

Fence and cross fence this year for greater
gains. Ask the Square Deal.dealer to show
you RED BRAND FENCE.

An extra heavy coating of zinc “Galvan-
nealed” on the outside keeps rust out.
Rust-resisting copper mixed in the steel
keeps long life in. These things make RED
BRAND last years longer. One piece stay
wires, well crimped line wires and can’t-
slip knots keep it trim, hog-tight, bull-
Egof. Fence and cross fence this year With

D BRAND for bigger proﬁts.

What has been your experience with or
without good fence? We will pay $5.00 or
more for each letter that we use. Write
for details, catalog and 3interest1ng book-
lets that tell how others have made more
money with hog-tight fence.

graph record on the market of
two colored boys who do consid-
erable arguing‘about the early bird
catching the worm. One boy says,
“Let him have it! Who wants a
worm anyhow?” If you could have
attended the International Corn
Borer tour from Toledo to Detroit
on September 21st, then across the
river ‘into Canada on the 22nd for a
day, and back to Detroit for a con—
ference en the 23rd you would have
been ready to agree with the col—
ored boy.

About 150 entomologists, agrono~
mists and others interested in the
European corn borer eradication
work started out on the morning of
September 22nd, from Toledo, to
visit some of the infested area of
Ohio and Michigan and also see what
is being done at the government ex-
periment stations near Monrbe and
Toledo. That night was spent in De—
troit and early the next morning they
were joined by more Americans and
many Canadians in a tour of Kent
and Essex counties, Ontario, Canada.

The road we took from Windsor to
Chat-ham was familiar yet it was not.
It was the same road we had trav-

HERE is a ,v'ery‘popular. phono- out during the conference. L‘Even i

though we did ﬁght them the borers
increased 61.84 percentthis year in
the states of Michigan, Ohio, New
York and ‘Pennsylvania. In our own
State, where the hardest ﬁght was
put on, the increase was 232.9 per
cent, which is the highest of any of
the four states named. The'next
one was Pennsylvania with 168.8
per cent, folloWed by New York with.
54 per cent and Ohio with 25.5 per
cent.

These ﬁgures without further in-
formation are discouraging and mis-
leading because they lead one to
think the harder we ﬁght the worse
we are off, but that is not true. '

it is agreed that the corn borer
came to Michigan from Canada, the
moth ﬂying across and the borer
ﬂoating across the river and lake on
and in pieces of corn stalk. Our most
heavy infestation is along the south—
eastern shore line of Michigan where
it is but a short distance to our Can-
adian neighbor. St. Clair county
which is just across the river from
Canada is the most heavily infested
county in the United States, having
an average of 113.44 borers to every
hundred stalks. Last year this aver-

 

 

BIG OAT CROP ON THE CLEMENT FARM
Most folks think of Paul C. Clements, of Britten, as a. seed corn grower, but that is
not the limit of his activities. Here is a picture of a ﬁeld of 14 acres of Worthy oats
grown on his farm this year that produced 1.368 bushels and they weighed 37 pounds
to the bushel. Mr. Clements is shown at the left.

eled on previous trips, but where
were the cornﬁelds? Three years ago
this fall we saw lots of corn, never
being out of sight of a cornﬁeld, but
this year they were miles apart.
About one tenth the acreage there
was three years ago, We were told,
and in its place are found tobacco,
tomatoes. sugar beets, grapes and
barley. .

Our return trip took us through
territory Where ﬁelds of corn Were
more plentiful, and from the road,
there appeared to be little if any
damage, but close inspection re-
vealed a heavy infestation. Not only
were many of the stalks merely hol—,
low shells because of the work of the
pests but the majority of the ears
contained borers. A fairly strong
wind would lay any of the ﬁelds ﬂat
to the ground.

Reports of the various committees
came in for attention on the last
day, Friday, and recommendations on
the continuing of the work were read
and approved. Also leading officials
in the eradication work in both the
United States and Canada gave short
talks.

Borers Increase

There is no question about there
being an increase in the borer popu—
lation this year as compared with
last year, according to ﬁgures as of
September 19th, which were given

age was only 51.84 borers. The
closeness of Canada and the fact that
they conducted an eradiaction cam-
paign and there was less corn in
that country this year for the borer
to work in are credited with the in—
crease.

The same reason for the increase
in population of the borers in St.
Clair county can be applied to all of
the area under quarantine in Michi-
gan.

Comparison

An increase of 232.9 per cent dur-
ing 1927 looks rather discouraging
after our intensive ﬁght of last
spring, but when you compare this
with an increase of 612 per cent last,
year, when nothing special was done
to combat the pest it certainly
shows that our time and money are
not being spent in vain. .Last year
Ohio had an increase of 184.2 per
cent cempared with only 25.5 per
cent this year, New York broke
about even with 54 per cent this
year and 56.3 last year, while Penn-
sylvania shows an increase of from
147.7 to 168.8 per cent. For the
four states this averages 380.1 per
cent increase for 1926 and 61.84 per
cent for 1927. Of course these ﬁg-
ures for 1927 are of September 19
and it is thought that the ﬁnal count
will show a lower ﬁgure, but they

MAKING GOOD WHITEWASH

I wish to white wash my cow barn '
and‘hog house. Can you tell me how
to mix the whitewash best so that
it will not rub off the walls‘l—A. F.,
Carney, Mich.

‘ LLOWING is a whitewash for
sheds: Carefully slake half a
bushel (38 lbs.) of good quick-

lime; strain the paste, while still
thick, through wire ﬂy screen and
add it to a solution made by dissolv—
ing 14 lbs. of common salt in 7%
gallons of water, mixing thoroughly.
‘Thin with more water.

A better whitewash, for high-

grade work, is made as follows:

Carefully .slake half a bushel (38

lbs.) of good quicklime; strain the
paste, while still thick, through wire
ﬂy screen, add about 4 gallons of
Water, and allow to cool. (b) Dis—
:solve 3 lbs. of borax (better trisodi—
‘um phosphate) in about 3 gallons of
skimmed milk (better in 1 gallon of
water, which is afterwards added to
5 lbs. of casein previously softened
:for 2 hours in 2 gallons of hot wa—
er). (c) Dissolve 3 pints of formald—
ehyde in about 3 gallans of water.
When the lime paste (a) and the

'milk (or casein solution) (1).) are
thoroughly cool, slowly add the milk
(or casein solution) (11) to the line
(a) stirring constantly. Just hetero
using, slowly add the formaldehyde
solution (c) to the batch, stirring
constantly and vigorously. Adding
the, formaldehyde too rapidly may

cause the casein to Jelly, thus spoil—

ing the mixture.

CAUTION—If all of this mixture
cannot be used in one day use only
half, or a third, or other fractional
part of each of the three parts (a, b
and c), and mix the rest as required.

In all of these directions, one sack
(50) of hydrated lime can be added
directly to the salt solution; in Nos.
2 and 3 it should ﬁrst be made into
a paste by mixing it thoroughly with
about 7 gallbns of water.-—-F. E.
Fogle, Asst. Professor of Agricultm‘al
Engineering, M. S. C.

an automobile tire to meet low prices made on inferior
tires. We try to sell only honest, reliable merchandise,

two years the rabbits havedestro‘yed

abOut two hundred and ﬁfty dollars
worth of apple trees and peach trees
for me. That was just the cost of

‘ the tree‘s alone, not saying anything

about the use of my land, the labor I
used setting them out, and cultivate
ing. If I ﬁgured everything, it would
amount to about ﬁve hundred dole
lars. I sent for the game warden
of Berrien county and he came to
look over my trees, and he Said he
would get me a permit to use a ferret
and it wasn’t long before I got one
from the State of Michigan to catch
rabbits anytime that they do damage.
I did not have a dog at the time, so
I got one. The rabbits got so bad
that I could not raise lettuce, beans
or carrots. Since ,I haVe thisAire-
dale dog, I can raise trees and gar-

have dogs. We are not bothered
with chicken thieves.

If that “L. F.”. is a good tarmsr

understand that in the spring at the
year, we farmers can not get along
without our dogs. The farmer is
the man to whom the citizen leoks
for his daily grub, and if we cannot
protect it with a dog, We certainly
can’t be sitting down and watching
it. What if the rabbit did not do
any. damage? Doesn’t a farmer pro-
duce more in a year than a. few rab-
bits 3. dog would catch? He also
keeps the rats down, woodchucks,
weae'lels, and does a dozen other good
deeds.

We farmers must sacriﬁce for the
sportsman, so he can go out hunting
in the open season, shoot our game,
out our fences, or anything else. I
say onerthing; a dog is the best

CORN BORER
EAR EDITOR: Am writing you
, in regard to what I think about
this Corn borer control. I live
here in Barry county, where they
claim to have found corn borers in
every township this year. I here a.
neighbor that they claim has it in
his corn. The inspectors were there
when he Was not at home, and he
has looked and looked but has not
found any himself. It looks to me as
if these inspectors in order ,to hold
their job down have made these re-
ports. I hare been to Lansing this
summer and to Kalamazoo most
every week and both places have to
go by a quarantine line, and those
men just get up out of their chairs
and ask if you have any green corn.
All yen have to do is say “No.” And
the say, "All right, drive on.” I’ve
nei'er had one look into my car yet.

For .my part I don’t think this is
any way to control corn borer, and

 

from reports I’m not the only one of
‘the same opinion.

I am one for the “get down to

business” stutf and a little less of *
those soft collar jobs.-—-C. 1-1., Dalton, .

determined to rescue the girl.

 

 

(Continued from September 24 issue)

“ HEN do I get breakfast?” he ask-

W ed plaintively, of the world at

large.

Someone grabbed him by the collar and
whirled him around.

“Where did you come from?” demanded
a dry voice.

Duncan saw a. big, lean fellow, with a.
thin hard face, a black line of moustache
across the bronze of his skin, eyes that
were hard and bright as a weasel’s.

“Somebody told me to.” Duncan looked
like a very bewildered small boy. “He
hit me on the ear and said, ‘Get out of
this,’ so I crawled up on a horse and came
along. When can I go back, mister?”

The outlaw laughed. “A volunteer
chore boy, eh?” he commented. “Well,
that‘s not so bad.” _

There were ﬁve other men around the
ﬁre. Beyond them, covered by a coat,
\vasmnotller ﬁgure. Duncan looked away
quickly.

“More trouble," growled one of the by—
standers, a fellow with a big nose that
slanted the wrong way. “We'll have folks
looking for this kid, too, now.”

The leader whirled like a ﬂash.
can hardly saw his arm move, so fast was
the blow. The man with the crooked nose
went over backwards. When two men
lifted him up, there was blood all over
his face and his left arm hung limp.

“There is only one captain here,” an-
nounced the big man slowly. “Another
time I’ll use my knife instead of my ﬁst."

“Yes, sir, captain,” muttered the hurt
man. “Didn’t mean nothing.”

Someone helped him to tie up his arm.
Blood from his nose continued to drip
Over his dirty coat.

“My, but you’re strong,” said Duncan,
open-mouthed. “You hit him in the nose
and broke his arm.”

The injured man explained hastily that
he had hit a piece of wood as he fell and
sprained his elbow. The captain looked
at Duncan with more appreciation.

“You aren‘t such a fool, after all,” he
commented. “Now, I suppose that your
father will miss you pretty badly, won’t
he?"

Duncan explained, truthfully, that he
had no father and no relatives in the
train. He was an orphan, taken along as
an act of charity.

“Good!” The captain nodded his head.
“And the girl’s parents; they will be
Worried, of course?”

“They are stranger,” Duncan explain—
ed. “Nobody with her except her father,
and he—" ’

The thin lips under the black moustache
parted in' a smile. It seemed that Dun—
can had brought good news. The kidnap-
ping, no doubt, had been an impulse of
the moment. and the men had been alarm-
ed about retaliation. The boy's statement

made everything safe. In the relief of
the moment, the captain patted the boy
on the back.

“Of course there's something to eat for
you,” he declared. “And you had better
stay with us for a while. Gentlemen of
fortune are better company than a. bunch
of Dutchmen.”

Duncan thanked him submissively and
got out of his sight at once.

Some chunks of meat were simmering
over the ﬁre on ends of green sticks. The
boy slipped over toward these. One was
,near slipping into the ﬁre. He recued it,

'browned it nicely in the ﬂame and tend~

ered it politely to the nominal cook, who
was busy looking thru the contents of

one of the sacks piled by the ﬁre. "

“Give it to Captain Locke,” ordered
the fellow in a surly tone, and the boy
did as he was told. Locke was standing
by the trail and issuing orders to the men
who rode up to snatch a bite to eat, have
a word with him and ride off again. He
took the meat without comment and bit
huge mouthfuls out of it, chewing as he
talked.

There were thin cakes of moistened
corn meal baking on a ﬂat stone before
the ﬁre. Duncan took charge of these
and parceled out food to the men who
came and went. No one paid any atten-
tion to him, save that once in a while
someone growled an inquiry to the cook,
who, pleased by the work that Duncan
was doing, declared that he was the new
cook's helper, and badly needed, too,
when a bunch of lazy scamps put all the
work on one man.

The pack animals had long since been
moved on with the bulk of the men,
leaving only the captain and a small
group, when the moment came that Dun-
can had been longing for and dreading.
Locke walked over to the bundle 'on the
ground and put a. hand on it.

“This won‘t do," he said, not unkindly.
“You need food in you. Here, sit up and
try a bite.”

A head was shaken under the cover-
ing. The captain frowned; he began to
expostulatc. “There is a long ride ahead,”
he warned the girl, “better get ready for
it.” He explained that it was foolish for
her to take on so. Now if she had fallen
into some hands—~—but he was a. gentleman
and knew how to treat a woman. Kind-
ness was his way; in a few days she
would think better of him. Now about

 

breakfast
“No, no !” came a stiﬂed voice. “I can‘t
eat. Go away.”

Duncan took pains to look away. He
heard the captain come striding over to
him. Duncan turned over the ﬂap cakes.
He felt the man’s gaze on him.

“See if you can get that girl to eat
something,” he ordered. “We start in
ten minutes.”

McAFEE, an orphan, from Bethelehem,
seventeen, is going to North Carolina to live with his uncle.
wagon train, encountering all sorts of dangers, he has it real thrilling trip,

and proves that “seventeen is grown up” by saving a fair young lady from

bandits who attack the train, killing most of the people and carrying her 011‘

The Journey from Bethelehem to Frederickstown was unevent-

ful but a little beyond the latter place they are joined by the Sawyers, a. girl

\Vhile camped one night a. bedraggled

stranger comes into camp, begs a meal and tells of being attacked by Indians.

After that Duncan mounts guard but one night he falls asleep only to be awak-

ened by the noise of attacking raiders who shoot some of the men, take. their

money, horses and other belongings of value, and make their escape, carrying

' 1' Christ brought these laws from heav—

.\;t

metaphor something .deep and. strik-

wing. Yet nbt‘having the experience

'of that last solemn transaction, he
cannot fully understand. But in that

‘ last day. and at the entrance of a new
and ageless epoch, we are called be—
fore the Supreme Court of God. The
books will be opened. My book? Of
course. Do you not know that every
day yOu write a pagebf a permanent
record? The High Court has tran-
scribed this and a copy of'it is await-
ing you. It shall be read in your
hearing. 4 It will indict you or acquit
you. The court is supreme. The de-
cision is ﬁnal; Serious enough,
isn’t it? .

My mail just came. A young Wife
asks for advice. She relates some of
the wrongs of her husband and then
says, “There is a God in heaven to
make him pay dear for it all some
day.” “Pay dear,” “Some day,”
You too have used such phrazes.
Why? Because every human intui—
tively knows that there is something
at the bottom of much of life that is
sinful and that “some day” will be
penetrated, exposed and condemned.
Eternity is ﬁlming our life for a ﬁnal
and judicial showing. We shall be
“judged out of the things written in
the books.” “For we must all be
made manifest before the judgment
seat of Christ; that each one may re—
ceive the things done in the body,
according to what he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.” Of
course, this recorded conviction of
the apostle is caught from Christ,
who said relative to ﬁnal things,
“Marvel not at this, for the hour
cometh, in which all that are in the
tombs shall hear his voicee, and shall
come forth; they that have! done
good unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil, unto
the resurrection of judgment.” It is
clear that the Court of Eternity has
issued a writ for our appearance.
Even Death has no power to exempt.
We cannot escape this Divine sub—
poena. And it is also clear that the
purpose is to stand trial for the way
,We have lived. But really the testi—
mony is all in. The verdict is pre-
pared. We are simply brought into
Court to hear it.. We 'are there to
hear the Judge say “Guilty” or “Not
guilty.” The book that we ‘ourselves
have written, forms the basis of the
decision. But wait a minute! Right
now God is judging us according to
the way in which we write our lives
down in the unﬁnished record. Do
you care? Well, Mr. Average Man
says lightly that he will run his
chances. The words that I am now
writing With a lead‘ pencil will be
manifolded by a typewriter. The
manuscript is mailed for publication.
The writer keeps a copy. You and I
are manifolding our lives daily on
the parchment of Eternity. Hidden
agencies ﬁle a duplicate Yonder to
be opened some day for our well-
doing or undoing. The aim of this
revelation is to solemnly charge us
with the eternal and judicial nature
of life. Nothing that we do dies, but
what we do shall meet us Over
There. “Look therefore carefully
how you walk.”

“Another book is opened, which is
the book of life.” This is the law—
book of Eternity and contains the
principles by which all mortals shall
be judged. The standards of living
set forth are eternally right. It has
pleased God to reveal the Book of
Life in the holy scriptures. But He
shall also reveal to the individual his
own book. This volume furnishes
the facts of.life; the facts of daily
thoughts and deeds. It bears evi-
dence of our works. The Great Judge
takes the evidence and renders a ver—
dict according t9 the Book of Stat-
ues. Now where is our excuse?

‘en for” men. “If I had not come and
spoken unto them,” said He, “they
had not sin; but now they have no
excuse for their sin.” And according 7
to Paul, God’s Redemptive Plan ex—
cuses no man, though he cannot read,
or does not even know of the Bible.
The counsels of God are to be “clear—
ly seen” in “the invisible things of
Him since the creation of the world.”
The person who has no access to the
Gospel is not without obligation——
nor hope. “The Lord * * * is leng-
suffering, not willing’that any should
perish.” So we have the revelation

"The Farm Paper of Service”

REPORT THE VIOLATOR

EPTEMBER 5th was the date on which the
law making it necessary for a buyer of poul-
try to keep a record of his purchases went

into effect and since that date persons, ﬁrms,
and corporations engaged in the business of pur-
chasing poultry for resale are supposed to have
a record of each purchase they have made. We
have had reports from some of our readers advis~
ing that they found dealers in their community
not observing the law.

Our recent legislature enacted this law in an
effort to help curb the activities of chicken thieves
The law is not perfect by any
means, but if given a chance will do much good,
and it is up to the farmers of this'State to see
that it gets this chance. When you sell poultry
and the buyer—if he is purchasing them for re-
sale—fails to make a complete record ask him
about it. If he is not fully informed but appears
anxious to comply with the new law advise him to

- write the Secretary of State at Lansing at once

" ‘next July.

and he will receive a supply of blanks. But if
he is indifferent to the law and signiﬁes no in-
tentions of living up to it report him to the of-
ﬁcers. Advise your local sheriff, and if he fails
to act get in touch with the Secretary of State or
with us.

A man who violates the law can be ﬁned any
amount up to $100 or imprisoned in' the county
jail for a period of not exceeding 90 days. If
he violates the law he is a. valuable aid to the

. chicken thieves and he should receive just punish-

ment. You owe it to your neighborhood and to
yourself to see that he gets it.

 

TAKE A SHORT COURSE

HE season for short courses at ‘ Michigan
State College is again but a short distance
in the future. In fact, the ﬁrst two begin

October 24th, which is only a little over two
weeks off. Others start in January and following
months to run up to as late as the middle ’of
Most of them begin and end, however,
during the ﬁrst three months of the year. Any-
one interested in the general agricultural course,
either the ﬁrst or second year, should take up
one of the courses that open October 24th and
continue through sixteen weeks. Or if interested
in a certain subject one can take up any of the
special courses devoted to dairy, poultry, farm
mechanics, horticulture, ﬂoriculture or bees after
the ﬁrst of the year.

A short course for the farm women has been
added this year and it is expected to prove very
popular. It is called the home economics course,
starting January 3rd and ending March 2nd.

One can enter any of the courses without
examination or entrance requirement if they are
sixteen years of age or over. Therelis no other
requirement.

SEVEN REWARDS PAID ‘

T was September 25th, slightly over a year ago,-
that we announced through the columns of
THE BUSINESS.,FABMEB that we were posting

$1,000 to be paid out in rewards of ﬁfty dollars
each to persons supplying information that led
to the arrest and conviction of any person or per-
sons guilty of stealing poultry from a paid-up
subscriber to this publication. How long it would
be before we paid out the entire thousand we did
not know. Thieves were very active and it might
be only a few months or possibly it would be
longer before we paid out the last of the twenty
rewards. Twelve months have‘ passed and we
ﬁnd that $350 has been paid in seven rewards to
eight people, there being one-[case‘where two peo-
ple have divided the ﬁfty dollars. The following
persons have received rewards of $50: Frank
Watkins, Holly; Walter Arnold and John W.
Copp, Oakland county deputy sheriffs; Amos-
Jury, Ashley; Wayne DeBree, Greenville; Alton
Hall, Charlotte; Alex McDonald, Houghton Lake:
A. R. Geddes, detective with sheriff’s office, Sagi-
naw county.

In addition to this we took up the ﬁght for
L. J. Wilson, Montcalm county farmer who shot
a. chicken thief, arousing State-wide interest in
his case. Pe‘titions were circulated in his behalf
and over a hundred thousand names were secured.
Also we raised a. fund to take care of his ex-
penses and after paying his attorneys $400 we
still have $456.70 on deposit in the L. J. Wilson
Fund in the bank where it will remain until
needed to defend any farmer who is brought to
trial on a similar offense or any case which in
our opinion deserves the support of M. B. ‘F.

How many thieves we have been instrumental
in putting behind the bars we do not know, but
we can safely say ﬁfty without fear of Contradic-
tion. That is not such a large number, but when
we take into consideration many others who
discontinued their activities along this line be-
cause of our campaign we feel that much has
been accomplished. .

Now we are entering our second year with
$650 of the original $1,000 left to carry, on the
ﬁght, also we have $500 which we have posted to
catch thieves who take farm produce, machinery
or other livestock. What the year holds for us
or how much we will pay out we do not ‘know,
but our ﬁght is just getting under way and we
sincerely expect to harvest a. bumper crop of
thieves this year.

Before we get through we want to make Michi-
gan about as popular with thieves who prey on
the rural communities as the corn' borer is with
the farmer.

 

MICHIGAN DID WELL

NE very interesting thing that was brought
out during the recent International Corn
Borer Conference held in Detroit was the

difference between the spread at the borer in
Michigan and Ohio. Michigan worked hard to
eradicate the pest, doing more and better work
than any other state interested in the campaign,
while in Ohio quite a' large number of exemptions
were granted. Now we are learning the results.
The corn borer has spread into many new coun-
ties in Ohio while here in Michigan we have held
him fairly close to the old quarantine line.

Let us hope that this proves a lesson to those
in charge in Ohio and in the future they work
shoulder to shoulder with the other states in our
ﬁght to save the corn crop.

 

WATCH THAT BULLl

ROM the Nashville News, Nashville, Mlch., We
learn of a farmer and one son who narrowly
escaped death when attacked” by an angry

bull. The father and two sons were trying to
drive the bull into the barn when it turned and
started for one of the boys. Fearing for the boy's
life the father attempted to stop the bull but was
thrown to ,the ground. The ball then continued
after the boy who reached a place of safety none

"too soon. It was a matter of two hours before

they ﬁnally got. the bull into the barn. .

"The ball he'd never shown any signs of on
states the piper.

EM bl»: ﬁsh left me in the lurch for most
a. week. I caught some perch and now and
then a little pike to show me what a ﬁsh was

like, but them big» fishes wouldn’t pay no ’tension

to my hook all day. Then one day. out there by

the bar. the place where all the Whopper-s are, I

got a teller on my hook so big, by gum, he al-

,most took me head ﬁrst out into the lake. It

made my arms and muscles echo aholdln’ on to

that there whale, he’d ﬂip his ﬁns and ﬂick his

tail and, golly, how the reel would sing, if I

could swim like that, by jinx, I’d swini the Eng-

lish channel and not care how for it was to land.

I fought that ﬁsh till almost noon, he’d gobbled
up my biggest spoon and though he tried to get it
loose he found out that it wa’n’t no. use. At last

I got him tuckcred out and got my got! into his

snout, then when I got him on the shore I sat

and laughed till I was sore to think how I would
brag back hum about that fish I caught, by gum.

Thorn catfish back in our crick would curl up and

look pretty sick if they could see this ﬁsh I

caught, they'd die of envy, like ‘35 not. I don’t

care what may happen now, the foot-ond-mouth
can get my cow, the cholera. can git my swine
or lightning strike that born of mine. I've caught

a young whole, and by too, life don’t hold no

more thrills tor me!

A Short Course sure helps a. teller in the long
run. An’ the M. S. 0. has got ’em all skinned in
that line. They teach you most everything about
farmln’ except how to be a pessimist.

Near as I can ﬁgure out the big fight at Chica-
go, it was the public that fast and Tex Rickard
that won.

Ever hear this one? A Scotchman went to a
grocery store to buy some eggs and upon inquirin'
'bout the price he learned good ones were two
cents each and cracked ones were one cent.
“Well, crack me a dozen,” said the Scotchman.

ALPHA COMPANY
Will you please ﬁnd out if the

' glpha Company, of Paterson, N. J.,

alright? They want ladies to make
dresses at home but want $5.00 in
advance—Mrs. FE, Quincy, Mich. ”

are quite familiar with the
‘Alpha Company and their work-
at-home scheme. Not long ago
they sent us copy for an advertise—
ment that they wanted us to publish
in our classiﬁed columns. This copy
read, “Ladies—Earn $15 dozen sew-
ing aprons; absolutely no selling, ex-
perience unnecessary; materials cut.
Addressed envelop brings instruc—
tions. Alpha, 202 Market St., Pat-
terson, New Jersey." Notice that
nothing is said about the ﬁve-spot
they must have before they send the
prospective worker any material.

No doubt they would have been
very happy if they could have had
this advertisement appear in M. B. F.
because ' it would have looked as
though we recommended them to our
“folks. But we were not caught nap-
ping. We would not accept this ad—
vertising until we had made a very
careful investigation, and after we
got through investigating we would
not take it at any price. .

We found out that the company is
operated by Jacob Sachs and Saul
Gold, men who were formerly con-
nected with‘the Golden Card Com-
pany, of New York City, which went
out of business last spring as the
result of a post ofﬁce and better bus—
iness bureau investigation. They ad—
vised the investigator that they paid
from $2.00 to $5.00 per dozen for
sewing aprons which hardly corre—
sponds with the statement made in
the ad, and the deposit was said to
be $1.50 instead of $5.00.

Of course all aprons must pass in—
spection. and you can readily see that
an inexperienced worker would have
considerable diﬂiculty in turning out
work that would be satisfactory.

We are still looking for the works
at-home scheme we can recommend.

DRUGS INEFFECTIVE IN TREAT-

OSSES from infectious abortion

L of cattle, caused by a germ

’ ” known as Bacillus Abortus

(Bang), are not likely to be prevent—

ady is commonly acquired through

the mouth by consuming feed and
drink contaminated with the germs,
by licking affected animals, contami-

disease is commonly brought into
healthy herds by the introduction of
affected cows and pregnant heifers.

Investments paying 8% and 9% often fool you.
Even when they are safe—well secured by
good collateral—they can be very unsatis-
factory.

In investing, there’s more to be considered
than the rate of interest and the protection 7
of the Principal. ‘

' How about the promptncss with which the
interest is paid? Is it always a few days late?
If it is, you’re losing money every day it’s
delayed.

How much trouble is it to collect? If you
have to spend time and trouble getting it paid,
you are losing money again. ‘

And how much do you worry about it? That
worry is costing you health and happiness——
worth more money than you can count.

Take these things into consideration when you
invest! You’ll often ﬁnd that the seemingly
attractive 8% or 9% will turn out at the end
of the year to be only 4% or 5% after all.

First mortgage bonds issued by the Federal
Bond and Mortgage Company pay 6%%.
They are safe—protected by valuable, income-
earning property.

But more than that—the interest is paid ex-
a'ctly on the day it’s due. Never is it even an
hour late. You never have any trouble collect-

SPRING AND WINTER BLOOM
HEN the deep snow of winter
has melted away and the warm
sunshine invites us outside we

are reminded of the bulbs we plant-
ed away back in October. What a.
joy to poke away the old brown
leaves from a bed of tulips or daffo—
dils and ﬁnd the green leaves already
poking through the cold, moist
earth! How glad we are that we
planed them last fall!

But now it is October and are we
planning for these early spring blos-
soms? ‘

Tulips are the most popular bulb
grown for spring bloom, and for win-
ter ﬂowering in the window they are
incomparable. One of the best vari-
eties for our climate is Prosperine,
an extra large bright carmine rose
single tulip. It is suitable either for
outdoor or indoor culture. Other
hardy varieties are Crysolera, a.
large pure yellow ﬂower and Wash—
ington, a white. The single varieties
surpass the double in brilliancy of
color, but do not remain so long in
bloom. Among double varieties,
Ruba Maxims. will be found good. It
is an early forcer of deep red color.
Lucretia pink, and Couronne d’Or,
golden yellow, are other double tu-
lips which will delight the grower.
Dutch hyacinths are very easily
grown. The perfume and color fur-
nished by a. bowl of these is par—
ticularly welcome in the depth of
winter. Among many beautiful hya-
cinths Gigentea, single, blush pink,
large broad spike, is very suitable
for pot culture. Madam Kruger,
white, and Mauve Queen, also pro-
duce handsome ﬂowers. The crocus,
the daffodil, and the snowdrops are
other spring beauties that may be
had for a small outlay in the fall.
The cost is for bulbs only; the work
is a. labor of love and any boxes or
pots which ﬁt the Window sill will
do for containers.

For pot culture, plantings may be
made at any time from September to
December, though October is the best
time. A light rich soil with a mix—
ture of well-rotted cow or sheep
manure is most suitable. Use a four
or ﬁve inch pot, and have the top of
the bulb just above the surface.
After potting, give a good watering
and set away in a cool cellar or out-
house for from six to eight weeks,
giving water occasionally, after
which they may be brought to light
in a sitting~room or other room.
Bulbs in water are satisfactory, es-
pecially paper white narcissus as,
they grow rapidly and blossom with-
in a few weeks after planting.
Steady the" bulbs by placing peb-
bles at their base and ﬁll the bowl
with water. Give fresh water every
few days. They should be left in
the dark for several weekes, until the
top growth is well started and the
bowl or mass of roots.
Outdoor planting maybe effected
at any time from the ﬁrst of Octo—
ber until the ground is frozen. Any
good, well-drained soil, will grow
bulbs, but should be well spaded and
pulverized. If the soil be heavy
clay, mix thoroughly with sand and
well—rotted cow yard manure; fresh
manure is injurious. Raise the cen—
ter ‘of 'the bedsso that watervwill
run off quickly, as the bulbs are li—
able to rot if water stands.

straw is used, cover six inches. In
the spring remove half the covering
and the balance as soon as the plants
begin pushing their way through the
501 .

The best season for planting pe—
onies is in the fall of the year. Fall
planting is better than spring plant-
ing, because the large buds are not
disturbed on the roots, and also be—
cause the plants get better estab-
lished in the spring before the grow—
ing season begins.

An important point in connection
with the 'planting of peonies is not
to plant them too deeply. Non-
blooming of peonies is often due to
having the roots buried too deeply
in the soil. For best results the
roots should be placed two or three
inches below the surface and not
closer than two feet apart.

There are many different varieties
of iris and the various combinations
of color in most of them are very
lovely. August is perhaps the best
time to plant the “toes” of iris, but
they often blossom the ﬁrst year
when not planted until spring.

The blossom of the German iris is
much larger than the. Japanese iris
and much more common. These are
easily grown and require almost no
care.

There are many seeds which may
be sown in the fall of the year, some
of which are poppies, marigolds,
bachelor—buttons, sweet allysium and
cosmos. Sweet allysium is only
pretty when used as a border, but
all of the others are good to cut.

Know This Song?—~May I ask for the

can’t holler down our rain barrel; You
can’t climb our apple tree; You'll be sorry

more; I don’t want to play in your yard

Table Service.—Ta.bie manners; Table
manners are important. Parents should
try to train their children, so that they
will be able to meet credibly any situa—:
tion which may arise. To 'the young bOY
or to the young girl, a. knowledge of table
manners gives self possession, charm,
and a. natural pleasing manner. Conven-
tial rules are not arbitrary, but it is‘im-x
possible for them to be ignOred‘ or under-

rated completely. With the many books

published on table manners and with
each very often giving a. different sug-
gestio as to the proper method of pro.’

cedure under different situations, there. ‘

is ‘a.great need""for the ability to discrim-
inate between the rules which are of such
importance that they should be observed,

My ageis forty-four,

With women any more.

CHORUS:
Little sad shanty,
Sad shanty give to me,
For I’m a stern old bachelor,
From matrimony free.

C
(After second verse: “From alimony

I have a stove that's worth ten cents,
A table worth ﬁfteen;

I cook my grub in oyster cans,
And keep all things so clean.

,When I come home late I have no fear,
I smile and walk right in,

I never hear a voice yell out,
“I say, where have you been?”

On a cold and stormy winter’s night,
In my cozy little shack,

I sing my songs and think my thoughts,
With no one to talk back.

I go to bed whene’er I please,
And get up.just the same;

I change my socks three times a year,
With no one to complain.

At night when I’m in peaceful sleep,
My snores can do no harm,

I never have to walk the ﬂoor,
With an infant on my arm.

And when I die and go to heaven,
Where all old bachelors do,

I will not have to grieve for fear,
My wife won‘t get there too.

AD‘VAIWI'AGES 0F CLUB WORK
the Farm Boys and Girls of Mimganz—I am asked to give my views on’
Boys and Girls Club Work and I'm so glad to do '0 through this paper.
There's no training outside of regular school that will reﬂect on the

future life of our boys and girls more than Club Work.

It is one of the oppor-

tunitles that our young people havemow that Dad and Mother did not have in

their do].

In ‘a livestock club be it sheep, calves, «makeup or plus the club

member starts with a good specimen; they are trained to know whot makes a.

We have oul‘ club bus- .

 

 

good specimen; they are trained how to care for it' properly, and just what such
an animal can do and then If it is to be sold they have the experienco of proper
salesmanship. This is a. great education for any future tumor. Dad had to
guess about quality and experiment on feeding and core and-sometimes it took
many years to (at the right start to be successful, hence many men have become
discouraged before they reached the point at mccooo and gave up trying. Club
boys can make a good start from the very beginning. Then with the h’andycraft
work the boys learn now to use tools, how to do painstaking WOPk, how to 0b-
serve the need of conveniences around the house and bang and can become the
real handy man of the farm. This training will serve him well in after years.

With the girls the troinlng is something that will help to form. their house-
hold habits of life. They will learn to be punctual, to be exact, to be economical
and to be artistic. In sewing the lessous taught will be useful every day of hot
life; In cooking she learns what to eat and how much to eat and how to prepare
food properly. Those dependent upon her will not run the risk of experiments
and useless miotakes. ‘

And best of all, the whole thought of club work rests on being ible to work
together in groups, on playing the game square, on winning through oﬂclenoy
and on being good loosers when necessary. All of these traits mean much to tho
man or woman if thoy have become a. ﬁxed habit in youth. ' _ ,

And I would urge every boy or girl now enrolled as club members to look

Try Larro Dairy Feed any way you like. You’ll
ﬁnd it by all tests the best ration you have
‘ ever fed, and that includes the one all-impor-

Look at the ﬁgures of the Bedford County
(Penna) Cow Testing Association for the
‘Larro-fed Jersey herd of Allen Eshelman of
Everett, Penna. His proﬁt for the year was
$172.66 per cow with all feed bills, including
roughage, paid. The average production per
cow was 8,257 lbs. milk; 429.7 lbs. fat.

Mr. Eshelman’s satisfaction with Larro has
been duplicated by thousands of dairymen all
over the country during the 15 years in which
this wonderful, proﬁt- producing dairy feed
has been on the market. In all this time Larro
has always meant more milk, healthier cows,
greater proﬁts.

You can’t afford to waste time and money on
home mixtures or cheap rations when Larro
will give you proﬁts like those. And it will!
Feed it according to directions and you will
be delighted with the increased milk ﬂow and
improved condition of every cow in your herd.

make any cow yield the biggest proﬁt she is
capable of producing every month in the year.

\PULLING CONTESTS AND HORSE
BREEDING
' NEW record has been made for
Michigan. On Wednesday, Sep-
tember 14, a team of horses
owned by the Owosso Sugar Com-
pany, Prairie Farm, at Alicia, Mich-
igan, raised the state record from
3100 pounds to/a tractive pull of
3150 pounds. The team broke a rec-
ord which had stood for more than
a year.

The team is a~pair of pure bred
Belgians bred and developed by the
Prairie Farm, which is undoubtedly
the largest Belgian breeding plant in
the world.

My reason for commenting on this
new record is to bring out the fact
that the show ring standard of both
this country and Belgium is not al-
together wrong.

One horse in this team is a full
brother to Pervenche owned by Mich—
igan State College. It will be re-
membered that Pervenche was Jun-
ior and Grand Champion at Ohio
State, Michigan State Fairs and at
the International as a two-year-old
in 1923 and repeated this record as a
Senior and Grand Champion the fol—
lowing season. Since that season
she has been a winner in the mare
and foal, and “Produce of Mare”
classes with her offspring from
Range Line Phoenix.

The gelding in this team of record
breakers suffered the loss of an eye
while young and was made a work
horse on Prairie Farm. On Sept-
ember 15 it was demonstrated that
he had not reached his limit and the
team was given an opportunity to
go again against their own record
of the previous day.

They failed according to H. J.
Gallagher, Michigan State College,
in charge of the dynamometer, to de-
velop additional power due appar—
ently to the inability of the other
horse of the team to hold his end of
the evener.

Then another point I want to em-
phasize is that this good gelding
has the conformation and the dis-
position to go farther. ,The sire of
this animal and also of Pervenche
is Rubis 8004, a prize winner at the
Brussels Show just before he was im-
ported to this country. He is now
sixteen years of age and is still car-
rying on at Prairie Farm as a sire
of show ring winners. The ﬁrst and
second prize ﬁllies at the Ohio State
Fair of 1926 and 1927 are daughters
of Rubis and are owned and being
shown by Michigan State College. It
will be recalled that one of these
mares, Manitta de Rubis, was Junior
and Grand Champion as a two and
three year old at both Ohio State and
Michigan State both of these years
and that she was the Junior Cham-
pion at Chicago in 1926. Pervenche
and the two ﬁllies just referred to
won for Rubis the “Get the Sire"
group and the “Best Three Mare"
group at Ohio State, Michigan State
in 1926 and have repeated the record
at both again this season.

The mother of the winning geld-
ing and of Pervenche is a big chest-
n'ut mare named Quenea. At the
service of Rubis she produced a ﬁlly
in 1925. This ﬁlly looks like a real
one. She has not been shown ex-
tensively thus far but has'started
away as a ﬁrst prize winner at Mich-
igan State Fair and Saginaw County
Fair this year.

Down in the pastures on Prairie
Farm this season are as ﬁne a lot
of foals by Rubis as can be found
anywhere. 01d Quenea. is there and

gains in popularity every hour.

If you want the sheerest plea-
sure that wonderful tobaccos can

and mild you’ll wonder how you
"ever got along without them. So
smooth and fragrant that they will

in full measures of genuine enjoy-
ment. Camel leads the world!

' THE CORN BORER?”
(Continued from Page 3)

The practice of hogging off corn
or husking the grain from the stand-
ing stalks must' come in for new
study. It allowed to stand, these
stalks furnish ideal wintering quar-
ters for the borer. If an attempt is
made to plow them under it too often
results in a messy job requiring
hours of tedious hand picking to
clean the ﬁeld; But a clean ﬁeld is
absolutely necessary if any control
over the borer is to be secured.
Borers which are plowed under come
up again. If there is the least bit
of organic refuse for them to get into
they will ﬁnd it and come out as full
ﬂedged moths in early summer. If
the ﬁeld is perfectly clean the borers
will be destroyed by the elements by
birds, ﬁeld mice and other predators.

Wide bottom plows with proper
wire attachments are very effective
in covering trash. Where these are
not available, bogged-off corn or
stalks still standing in the spring
can probably best be handled by p011—
wing them down, raking and burning
them, and then ﬁnishing the job by
clean plowing, after which practical-
ly no picking should be necessary.

Mic h i g a n farmers who went
through the borer control campaign
last spring are convinced that the
fall is the time to do the cleanup
work if at all (possible. A favorable
fall will ﬁnd farmers all over the
area getting their cleanup work done
by regular farm practices such as low
cutting, shredding, silo ﬁlling, fall
plowing, and so on.

The success of the campaign last
spring is becoming apparent. There
are still borers and probably there
always will be. The borer has gone
into new areas; however, not nearly
so much in Michigan where the
cleanup was thorough as it did in
Ohio where a. large part of the area
was exempted. So far, the work of
controlling the borer has been almost
entirely mechanical. There is, of
course, some work on parasites
which may aid in the far distant fu—
Research work by the Michi—
gan State College at its corn borer
sub—station at Monroe also holds fu,—
ture promise. It ”will take many
yea-rs for that to sugar oﬁ, but even
now it is well worth seeing and
farmers who wish to look it over are
welcomed.

In the meantime, Michigan farm-
ers are not waiting and lamenting,
but from the spirit I have seen evi-
denced they are tackling this job
that they do not like but realize 'that
it must be done, and they are sock-
ing the varmint with every club they
can lay hands on that looks as
though it will put a dent in the borer
population.

RESULTS OF CORN BORER FIGHT
ARE ENCOURAGING

(Continued from page 4)

give you ample evidence of the ef—
fectiveness of the cleanup and cause
one to wonder just how great the
increase would have been if we had
done nothing.
Ohio Suffers

Because of wet weather last spring
there was a sort of letting down of
the bars in Ohio when it came to
passing ﬁelds. Probably less real
clean-up work was done in that state
than in any of the others, which
makes the wide spread between the
ﬁgures for last year\and this year
hard to understand.- However, re—
sults of easing up of the control
work becomes apparent when it is
shown that the new area infested by
the borer is far greater in Ohio than
in Michigan, Pennsylvania or New
York.

Perhaps there are places where_re-
sults have been disappointing but as
a whole officials in charge of the
corn borer eradication work are‘of

plished to a large, degree what We
started out to do and they are
pleased with results. But we cannot
be content with what we have done,
we must keep up the ﬁght with more -
vigor than ever if we wish to con-
tinue to proﬁtably grow corn.

CHICKENS RICK SELVES

AND EACH OTHER
Would like some information on
chicks. They begin to pick at the oil
sack and blood starts and then the
rest pick at them until some of
them have died. They pick at them-
selves all over. Would like to know
what to do for them as I am having
a lot of trouble—A. H. F., Coleman,

Mich. ’

HE phenomenon which you are
troubled with is most likely a
vicious habit probably originat-

ing from a few chicks picking at a
weak member of the ﬂock. A simple
remedy consists of suspending a
large number of little buttons, pre-
ferably colored ones, from the roof
so that they reach just high enough
from the ﬂoor to make it necessary
for the chicks to jump at these in
order to pick at them. They will
soon be so busy with this that they
will forget to pick at the rest of the
ﬂock—H. J. Stafseth, M. S. C.

DRIED MILK IN RATION
This is a ration I have but as sour

could this be changed and what

added: 100 pounds middlings, 200
pounds corn meal, 100 pounds bran,
100 pounds oat meal, 50 pounds oat

(Continued from Page 11)
nature the things of the law,” he
shows its work written in the heart
and is therefore excused “in the day
when God shall judge the secrets of
men, according to my gospel, by
Jesus Christ.” So, Christian brother,
it is hoped that you will not be
pained to learn that there may be
some “heathen” in heaven. And if
some barbarian sits above you, it is
because his book showed clearer
pages than yours. Shall not the
Judge of all the‘earth do right? Re-
sponsibility is commensurate with

opportunity. Luke 12:48.

But are there no palliating circum—
stances? Is there nothing that shall
diminish our chances of guilt? There
is hope in, the Mercy Book. Bless
God for Him Who “ever liveth to
make'intercession” for us. When we
accept the spirit of Jesus as aid to
our spirit, and his life as copy for
ours, the writing of our book will
be accepted. The writing will not be
perfect. It will have blurs and blots.
But we tried to follow the copy, and
a loving Father will say, “I have
blotted out thy transgressions and
thy sins; return unto me for I have
redeemed thee.” This is heaven.

("Oats and Rye Scarce~ and Markets Good

Hog Prices Remain Law In Spite Of Small Receipts

1 ' By W. W. FOOTE, Market Editor.

RMERS of the great middle west
have been in many instances

greatly in doubt of late regard-,

ing the outcome of their corn crops,
and the old lesson has been taught
that diversity of crops is in the long
run the only really safe rule to fol-
low, although in some years it is
passible to obtain good proﬁts by fol-
. lowing the single crop plan. Of
. course corn is the main basis of the
(great live stock industry, and it is
3 necessary that the corn belt states
' should produce extremely large crops
., of that leading cereal to feed cattle,
hogs and sheep as well as to poultry,
, and the fertility of the soil is main—
. tained by the manure. But the only
' safe way is to divide the grain and
\‘ other acreage, and this is the course
_very largely practiced by Michigan
xfarmers, outside of the great fruit
l belt bordering on Lake Michigan.
( Grape production in the United
;.States has had an enormous increase
{ in recent years, but most of this gain
, is in California. The Michigan sheep
industry is in good hands and is do—
ing so well that mixed yearling breed-
ing and two—year—old breeding ewes
have been in good demand in the
, Chicago market to ship to that state
‘ at $6.50 to $14 per 100 pounds, while
light weight feeding lambs were pur-
chased a short time ago for $13.75
to $14. The autumn prices paid for
hogs were far lower than one and
. two years ago, but far above those
paid in other recent years, and farm-
ers who have plenty of corn are hold-
ing back their healthy growing pigs.
Livestock proﬁts on fat cattle, wheth-
er yearlings or long fed heavy steers,
have become enormous through the
late remarkable booms in prices
brought about by the serious short—
age in feeding districts, and this has
started up a lively demand for stock-
ers and feeders at much higher
'prices. Cattle feeding promises to
become popular if thin lots are to be
had at fair prices.

In the Grain Markets

It has been impossible to hold
Lwheat up to the high prices paid in
the early part of the season, when the

I crop promise was not so good as it
‘turned out to be later. Prices fell
Vwell below those paid a year ago,
7 while two years ago sales were made
f around $1.53. The visible wheat
'supply in the United States is in-
:.creasing at the rate of 5,,360 000
bushels a week and it stood a short
time ago at 75, 226,000 bushels, being
'slightly ahead of a year ago. Not
long ago the several grains were sell-

' ing at the lowest prices of the sea-
ison, and it was mainly a weather
, market, especially in the corn trade,
with every trader intensely interested
in reports of frosts in parts of the
corn belt where the crop is not ma-
tured enough to be out of danger.
Considerable old corn is going to
market, and a short time ago the
visible supply in this country was
23,733,000 bushels, comparing with
17,288,000 bushels a year ago, while
it sold in the Chicago market up to
97 cents, against 76 cents at this time
in 1926. Corn sold much higher

early in the season, but much of the _

crop is reported safe from frost dam-
age. Oats have sold several cents
higher than last year, much of the
crop being damaged, and the visible
supply in this country is down to
25,137,000 bushels, comparing with
48,803,000 bushels a year ago. Rye
is scarce, but sells at about the same
,prices'as last year. An item of in-
terest to wheat farmers is statistics
showing that there has been a 10 per
cent drop in the consumption of
white ﬂour in the last three years.
Farmers who raise corn should be
careful in selecting their seed corn,
:: for much corn will be nearly or quite

, Worthless for planting. Husking
' alone will reveal how much the crop
has been damaged. However, oﬁlcial
Wisconsin reports state that farmers
I}! tbatstate need not worry about a.
.ﬁortage of need corn .Ior next spring.
The reports says the Wisconsin pro-
diction will be large enough 10-151111-
ply not only local needs, but also to

meet calls for seed corn coming from
other states. December wheat sold
a short time ago down to $1.30, com-
paring with $1.41 a year earlier.

Fancy Prices for Cattle

Fancy corn fed cattle have sold at
further advances recently owing to

inadequate supplies, and a new top

was reached when $16. 65 was paid
tthe other day, it being $4. 65 above
the highest price paid for heavy cat-
tle during 1926. Prime sold the
highest since 1920, and the bulk of
the steers of all kind sold for $11.50
to $15.50, the poorest lightweights
going at $9.50 to $10.50. The best
yearlings brought $16.25, and even
ordinary grassy and short fed cattle
sold far above recent years. Steers
were selling a year ago at $7.50 to

WHEAT "

There is no material change in the
wheat market situation. While there
was some .‘edvance in prices during
the past -4ortnight the market has not
gained much strength. Canadian
farmers are quite heavy sellers and
the export demand appears to be
slow for American wheat. Reports
indicate that quite a large percent-
age of both wheat and rye" has
been damaged in England and Ger-
many.

 

CORN
Corn declined but the continued
wet weather we have had caused the
market to turn upward again at the
close of last week. Plenty of warm
sunshine is needed in the corn belt
right now.

OATS
Of all the grain markets probably
oats _shows the most ﬁrmness and
inclination to advance in price. It

’was affected some by the weakness

$16.25 and three years ago at $9.25
to $11.80, while back in 1908 they
sold at $3.75 to $7.60. Canners and
cutters go at $5 to $6, fat cows. and
heifers at $8 to $14.60 and calves
at $8 to $17.50. Conditions are so
bright that the demand for stockers
and feeders is increasing, and prices
are rising, with sales are mostlyat
$8.25 to $9.25, the extreme range
being $7.60 to $10. For the year to
late date the cattle receipts in seven
western packing points were only
6,766,000 head, comparing with
8,006,000 a year ago. Last week’s
advance in fat cattle was 25 to 50
cents.

Moderate Hog Supply

Prices remain low despite the re-
cent light market supplies, with late
sales in Chicago at $9.40 to $11.65,
comparing with $10.50 to $13.80 a
year ago, $11 to $13.70 two years
ago and $6.15 to 38.65 six years ago.
For the year to late date seven west-

RYE

We produced a large crop of un-
usually good quality rye this year
which is rapidly passing. into consum-
ing channels at prices slightly high-

few years.

BEANS

The bean market seems to be a
weather proposition; when the sun
shines there are plenty ‘of beans for
sale and when it rains you can not
ﬁnd any. But rain or shine there
should be a good market for beans
because we are going to have a
shortage. Early planted ﬁelds are
turning out pretty good but the late
ones will prove disappointing, it is
believed. If farmers would agree
to sell their beans at not less than
$5.00 per cwt.," and stick to it, they
could stabilize the market, but as
long as the canners and others can
manipulate prices as they see fit the
market will weaken and the price
dip at every opportunity no matter

Potatoes were showing consider-

It appears crop conditions improved
in some sections but it still looks
like a short crop with good prices,
particularly in Michigan. We may
be mistaken but We look for higher
priCes on the .1927 crop than are now
being paid.

CHICAGO—It was the usual dull Sat-

showing the only activity. That market

. was slow with few animals on hand. Trade
was anywhere from steady to 25 cents
lower, but this was more on paper than
on actual
quality. Choice butchers sold at $11.65
and down and packing hogs were placed
at $9.50@10. The fresh supply was 3,000.
Only.“ 6,000 cattle arrived so that trade
was only nominal.’ For the week prices
were high for nearly all kinds. Prime
steers sold at $16.65 or the highest in
seven years, while good yearlings brought
$15.25. The market for the best natives

There is good news for all who suffer
from asthma or severe bronchial cough,
in a letter written by Chas. E. Jones,
2336 Hoyt Ave, Indianapolis. He says:

' “I contracted asthma while in the army,
June, 1918. For this reason I was re-
jected from going over-seas, and in Dec-
ember, 1918, Twas discharged. I suffer-
ed terribly, had to sleep out-doors, greet-
ed the milkman every morning, had no ap-
petite. I tried everything any one would
tell me about, but with no real relief. In
June, 1924, reading about Nacor in a
newspaper, my mother obtained albottle.
I began taking it that afternoon, and felt
considerably better the next morning. I
kept on improving and by early spring,
1925, the wheezing and all other- symptoms
were completely gone, and since then
(ti: es years) I have never had a sign of

WQyiii cause sheep to scour- I am
feeding nothing but mixed hay. clo-
ver, June grass and quack grass. It
is good bright hay. It started about
a month ago and seems to be catch-
ing; everyone of them are getting it.
They have been where they could
run out all winter and had lots of
exei’cise.—O. H. R., Onaway, Mich.

DO not know what should cause

this unless your quack grass and

June grass was causing it. If you
had clover ,or alfalfa to use you could
soon tell if this was it. These sheep
should have some oats and corn if
they are having lambs this spring;
the lambs may not be strong and
vigorous if they do not have grain.
Get some lime and mix one pound of
it to about ﬁve gallons of water and
sprnkle the hay that you give these
sheep. Also get some bran and oil—
meal for a few days and see if this
does not help your trouble. Feed
each sheep about 1% pound of bran
and 1,4. pound of oilmeal per day.

"Nothing takes the place
of Old Hickory”

“I have cured my own meats for twenty years.
Old Hickory Smoked Salt is the most practical;
economical and satisfactory method I have ever
used.” —- C. H. Mannon, Kewanee, III.

Mr. Mannon uses his

regular curing formula,
merely substituting Old Hick-
ory Smoked Salt for ordinary
curing salt. Old Hickory is pure table
salt smoked with hickory wood smoke
by the Edwards process. You get
the exact ﬂavor you desire, a beau-
tiful brown color, uniform cure from
rind to bone and no smoke-house
shrinkage when you cure your meat

\

l

More than a million farmers owe
their meat—curing success to Old
Hickory, the original and always
genuine smoked salt. It is sold
by leading dealers at trading places
generally. Ask for it by name and
be sure you get what you ask for.
You can identify it by the distinctive
yellow and blue label on every ten
pound drum, with the Old Hickory
grade-Mark, exactly as it appears
ere.

“ CASH IN HAND ”

R. G. Hughes made this poultry house out of a
corn crib. The big GLASS CLOTH windows
saved him. $60 over sash and glass and brought
him more winter eggs than he ever thought pos-
sible. He says before he used GLASS CLOTH
eggs were scarce on his farm “as snowballs in
Africa.” Almost at once his 100 hens “started
on a laying spree” and he says, “Since then I
have bought all our groceries and feed for the
‘ cows and chickens and much of our clothing from

the sale of eggs. I also bought my potato seed
and garden fertilizer and my wife has bought
many articles for the house-—all from egg money.’

A $5. 00 roll of GLASS CLOTH brought Mr.
Hughes all this new prosperity.

He says, “It sure okeeps the poultry house warm.
One day it was 220 outside and 78° inside.

Winter-Tight Home
Brings Comfort

“Glass Cloth 1s great stuff,” writes J. Austin. Last fall
I made storm windows for our house by tacking it over
the window screens and I put it over the screen door to
make a storm door. I closed up the porch with it too.
It was a cold winter but our house was warmer than it:
ever was before. It cost me $6.70. The same job done
with glass would of cost $115. When I took the Glass
Cloth down this spring it was almost good as new. I
ﬁgure we saved on both fuel and doctor bills. We
hardly had a cold all winter.”

Got Eggs A11 Winter

“After using GLASS CLOTH two
years I would not trade one frame
of 1t for a dozen frames of ordinary

wglass. Last winter I had only 36
hens, but many days I got as high
as 33 eggs. ” ‘ ---W. B. Houstan

Think' of the winter egg money
he would have made if he had had
360 hensinstead of just 36. Now
that you can have GLASS CLOTH
it pays to keep hens over the win-
ter. They pay bigger proﬁts than

. in summer time. due to high win-
ter egg prices.
