NIGHT Work
Often Pays a Rich Return

In rush seasons many farmers have
operated their McCormick- Deering
tractor outﬁts under the radiance of
Prest-O-Lite gas lighting. Here is an
economical and dependable lighting
system that costs mighty little to
install and maintain. See the dealer
or write us for information. There
is a special McCormick-Deering
Prest-O-Lite unit for each of the
three tractors.

WHEN it"stime togo on the 'landif’s time
‘ to go. Everything waits on Sprhxg’syWork.
The year’s proﬁt depends on“ plowing, tilling,
sowing and planting. Once it was a time of
heavier' toil and greater risk and worry.

Now the well-equipped power farmer is ready to
handle the peak loads and the emergencies as they come.
His McCormick-Daring Tractor and broad-capacity ina-
chines prepare better seed‘beds at the best time for each
crop and at lowest pomihle costs. The saving of farm
help alone goes a long way toward paying for his fast-
working equipment.

In the late seasons he simply does more in fewer
days. He can stay on the ﬁelds until late in the night, or

run two shifts through a 24-hour day. His tractor will not '

complain, it needs no rest nor sleep. Every McCormick-
Deering Tractor is good for many years of hard service,
distributed over the year and delivered through draw-
bar, belt, and power take-off.

Your choice of the three McCornlick-Deerings (15-30,
10-20, and Farmall) will pay for itself on your farm. Ask
the dealer for a demonstration. We will send you a
catalog on request. ' ' '

hat the book you need to 16:40 you make more
_. dollar: out of your poultry

HE BUSINESS FARMER has been fortunate enough to
T secure a limited number of Professor E. C. Foreman’s
famous book, “Every Step in Culling and Breeding,”

and we are anxious to place a copy of it in your home.
For a good many years Professor Foreman was head

of the Poultry Department of the Michigan State College.

He is known throughout the State of. Michigan as an export ‘

poultryman. Professor Foreman not only knows his poultry
but he has the ability to write in such a way that he can
impart his knowledge to anyone who is able to read the
English language. His book on calling and breeding is
written so that even a child can understand every step to
be taken in the culling of poultry, and in addition to this

. the book is well illustrated with pictures showing every step

so that anyone who reads this book will thoroughly under-
stand just how to go about it to cull their‘own poultry. This
bookhasbeenreadandreeommendedbytheleadingponl-
Lumen in my notes and it is the recognised authority on
this important'topie.

Jim Wilson Believes In Keeping Farm Records

Real SuCceSs In Farming Comes Only Through Using Business Methods, He Says

IM WILSON sat toasting his shins
and reading the daily paper be-
fore the ﬁreside one frosty eve-

ning in January while I was ostensi-
bly looking through a magazine and
admiring his home. My mind was
wandering back over some of the
outstanding qualities which not only
characterized the man but also
enabled him to possess such a ﬁne
home.

As this was .not my ﬁrst visit, I
was so well acquainted with Jim
Wilson that I felt free to discuss his
business affairs with him.

Looking up from the magazine I
noticed that 'Jim was ﬁguring on the
edge of his paper.

“I have a few hogs left ready for
market and I was ﬁguring from the
market quotations whatI Icould get
out of them. They will weigh 225
pounds each and I do not care to
keep them much longer for. prices
may break and I will be the loser.
Hogs are one of my main sources of
income,f’ he said.

“Last year was a banner year
for me in the hog and dairy business.
I cleared enough to make a good
payment on the mortgage and pur-
chase the piano you see besides.”

Jim turned in his chair and pulled
out from his desk the farm account
book which gave the daily records
for the past year.

2 “It is just a year last October, I
sold those hogs which topped the
market at $13. 65. They brought me
just $1, 548. 00. This was the most I
ever received in a lump sum.’

His reference to the keeping of
farm. accounts led me to wonder
about his business.

Farm accounts, what has this to
do with Jim’s success, ﬂashed
through my mind.

“Jim, I have been wondering just
how you built up your farm business
when so many farmers have com-
plained of the difficult times,” I
asked.

"The answer would make a long
story, but the chief factor is this
little book,” he replied. “Each day
I. record all of the transactions in
connection with my business. It
gives me an opportunity to study and
plan more accurately. Of course.
you know I did not develop this busi-
ness in a fortnight. I have been
keeping farm records for the past
ten years and during this period I
have been constantly developing
plans which have enabled me to put
my soil in shape, remodel my dairy
barn and make many other improve-
ments. For instance, I have re-
arranged my ﬁeld which made possi-
ble the cutting down of labor costs.
I have also found that I can make
more money by marketing my farm
produce through dairy cows,

crops. The crops furnish a large

amount of feed for the stock and as ‘

we market our milk in Detroit dairy-
ing has been a proﬁtable enterprise
along With my hogs. ” 2

2 “This is all well and good, ” I came
back,- “but I am interested in learn-

ing more about how you keep your .

farm records for it seems to me they

have been the back-bone of your _

success.

' “.I suggest that you go over the ‘
records. You are welcome to any in-.2
formation you can get from them '2 1

Wilson replied.

I spent the remainder of the eve- I ,
111118 trying to learn :how Mr. Wilson
built up "his accounts and why they _
were 813" muable‘to him. .

'was taken both at the beginning and
'end of the accounting year.

It was
classiﬁed so as to list the farm,
buildings, machinery, livestock, feeds
and supplies in their respective class-
es. All the mature livestock and
major pieces of equipment were list-
ed separately. In ﬁguring values on
the property at the end of the year

increases or decreases in value were

duly considered. For instance, the
buildings were cut on an average of
3 per cent for depreciation at the end
of the year. An average of 10 per
cent depreciation was ﬁgured on all
farm equipment for each year based
on original cost. The livestock was

ﬁgured on the basis of sale value.

These items together with accounts
receivable and cash on hand consti-
From
this was subtracted accounts payable

'to arrive at the net worth which was

$29,250.00 at the beginning of the

year.
A summary of the inventory was

‘ classed as follows:

10. Cash

Less: Bills Payable
Farmer’s net worth

Cash Receipts and Payment

The next step in the account book
was a record of cash receipts and
payments. Twelve double pages
were devoted to cash receipts and
the same number of pages to cash
expenses. A double page provided
enough space for a month’s transac-
tions. Each page of receipts was
ruled into columns headed as fol—

....................

....................

lows: Date, Quantity, Item, Price,
Total cash received from Grain,
Fruit, Hay, Cattle, Hogs, Poultry,

Milk, Eggs, Miscellaneous, Personal.

The expenditure pages were also
ru“ied into columns with the follow—
ing headings: Date, Quantity, Item,
Price, Total cash paid for Repairs,
Feeds and Grinding, Hired Labor,
Crop Expenses, Livestock Expenses,
Machine Hire, Permanent Improve-
ments, Auto and Truck Expenses,
Personal, Household.

Items of expense and receipts can
be classiﬁed to suit the individual
farm conditions and in more detail
it the farmer desires.

By providing double pages for
each of these cash records it made it
easy to sum up each month’s records
separately rather than waiting to do
the entire job at the end of the year.

To make the accounts complete
Mr. Wilson provided separate space
for accounts receivable and accounts
payable which should be recorded in
more detail than the cash items.

Summarize Records

So far the account covered: lst,
the‘lnventory; 2nd, Cash Receipts;
3rd, Cash Payments; and 4th, Ac-
counts Receiveable and Payable,
which seemed perfectly logical. The
next step was not so clear.

“Will you explain, Mr. Wilson,
just what is the next logical step in
your accounts?” I asked.

“Yes,” he replied, “you have gone
over all the important accounts and
the next step is to summarize the
records. This is the most difficult
part, but is the most interesting for
it gives me an opportunity to study
the details of my business as I go
through the accounts; for instance,
I note that my milk receipts in Jan-
uary last year were $364.00 and for
thesame month this year they were
$325.00. Last month my dairy herd
brought in $4,127.00; not so bad for
20 cows.

 

 

JURY DISAGREEMENT IN McNALLY TRIAL
EADERS of The Michigan Business Farmer will recall the case of
John McNally, a farmer living near Bay City, who was shot on the
night of December 20th, and left in his burning barn to die by

three thieves who were stealing Mr. McNally’s grain and beans.

The

minute The Michigan Business Farmer heard of this terrible crime,
we posted a reward of $100 from the L. J. Wilson Fund for informa-

tion leading to the arrest and conviction of these thieves.

‘A few

days after the crime was committed, Anthony Jackowski, 21, of Beaver
Township; Frank Zakrzewski, 19, of Perkins Street, Saginaw, and his

brother Leo, 17, were armted by Sheriff Marvin and a deputy.

A11-

thony and Leo confessed to the crime, and Frank admitteed being with

the boys on that night.

Frank Zakrewski was charged with the crime

of attempted murder of John McNally, and he was brought to trial,

Thursday, March lst.

Owing to the fact that Anthony Jackowski repudiated his confes-
sion so often, his testimony did not bear much weight with the jury.
2 Frank's brother Leo, after he discovered that'they were going to try
Frank for the murder in the case, repudiated his original confession,
thus weakening the State’s case against Frank. The trial resulted in a

disagreement, the jury being out twenty-four hours.

After it was

found impossible for them to reach a verdict, Judge S. G. Houghton

dismissed the jury.

There will be another trial sometnne within the next two weeks,
and Prosecuting Attorney F. 0. Patterson feels that he has new evi-
dence, some of which was uncovered by our investigator, upon which

he can convict Frank of the attempted murder of McNally.

Frank’s

brother, Leo and Anthony have already confessed to the crime of burns
. ing the barn, and the case of Leo and Anthony will be sentenced on the

“To summarize the accounts, I total
up each month’s record of cash re-
ceipts and expenditures separately
and transfer them to a monthly sum-
mary sheet which you will ﬁnd in
the back of the book. Here you will
ﬁnd the same general headings as
given under the monthly cash re-
ceipts and payments. After record-
ing the monthly summaries I add
the items for twelve months and ob-
tain the total cash receipts and ex-
penditures for the various items for
the year. But this is not all; at the
bottom of the page are other items.
It is necessary to take into consider-
ation accounts receivable and pay-
able. This is done by making addi-
tions and deductions to the receipts
and expenditures as follows:

“Receipts:
1. Total yearly cash receipts.
2. -Add accounts receivable end of year.
3. Total.
4. Deduct accounts receivable at be~
ginning of year.
5. Total sales for year.
“Expenditures:
. Total cash expenditures for year.
2. Add accounts payable at end of
year.
3. Total.
4. Deduct accounts payable at begin-
ning of year.
5. Total expenditures for year."

“But the diﬂerence between these
accounts does not give you an ac-
curate record of your business,” I
said.

“No,” he admitted, “in order to
make it complete we must take into
consideration the difference between
the inventory at the beginning and
end of the year. Turn over to the
next page and you will ﬁnd a sum-
mary sheet showing just what I
mean. You see if there is~ an in-
crease in the farm inventory it is
added to the receipts and if. there
is a decrease it is added to the ex-
penditures.”

Mr. Wilson’s ﬁnal summary sheet
was classiﬁed in the following order;
the items being taken from the
monthly summary pages and the in—
ventory. He kept the personal and
household accounts separate from
the farm record in the ﬁnal closing
of the farm account.

“There are other farm records
which I consider well worth keeping,
such as Crop and Field records, egg
records, breeding records, and dairy
production records. The farm rec-
ord supplemented by this type of
records has given me an accurate
basis for analyzing my farm business
and making plans for the future.”

I closed' the books and retuned
them, satisﬁed that Mr. Wilson was

a business man as well as a farmer. f f

ITI-IOUT a doubt much of the
small grain produced in Michi-
gan will be harvested by the

,combine method within a few ,years.

There are four principal types of

f‘combines; namely, the hillside type,

the type mounted directly on the
tractor, the rigid type and a prairie
type.

The hillside type

The type mounted on the tractor
is called» “The Gleaner” and it is

The rigid type with a ten foot cut

factured by the International Har-
vester Company. A rigid type is one
“where the cutter bar and table are

- attached rigidly to the main part of

the cembine. With this type when-
ever one of the main wheels passes

tthrough a furrow or rut the outer

end of. the table will raise or lower
depending upon which wheel goes

.into the rut or furrow.

The International Harvester Com-
pany also makes a prairie type com-
bine. The smallest size is 12 foot
‘cut, but it is not manufactured for
sale in Michigan. A nine foot cut,

. the smallest size prairie type ma-

chine ’made for sale in Michigan, is
manufactured by the J. I. Case

NE of the six recommendations
we make in our campaign
against the poultry thieves in
Michigan is the installing of an
alarm‘in the chicken coop. There
,are two kinds that can be used, the
)gong—type which is installed com—
:ple‘tely in the coop and .makes
enough noise to arouse the neighbors

“which rings a buzzer or hell in the
house, warning the owner that some-
one is entering his chicken coorp. The

 

ﬁrst type is a thief scarer because

, i the bell makes so much noise that
”,il‘thieves make a hurried departure.

The other is the kind of alarm to
have -if you want to catch the

" thieves, which is often a dangerous

thing to attempt alone as many of
them are armed and ready to shoot
at a moment’s notice. \Many a man
has gone to his death because he sur-
prised thieves at work. Because of
the danger we urge that our readers
install the gong alarm and frighten
awa the thieves. . ,
113, a previous issue we published
instructions on how to make the
silent-type of alarm and at this time
we are explaining the gong-type. Any

 

farmer who is handy at such work
can get the necessary parts at a.

, hardware store and make and install

onefor himself. Some do not feel
ualiﬂed to attempt it or haven’t the
time so we have secured a special
.low price on these alarms for our
'r’saders, and can furnish them post-

paid with directions for installing at

16.50. This is the cost price to us,
"delivered at your door. The only
"thing that you will need extra will
be three dry cell batteries and they

These machines are powered from
two sources. Either from the trac~

tor‘drawing the combine through the ..

power take-off or by a motor mount—
ed on the combine. The mounted
motor if bought with the combine

costs from $350.00 to $365.00. From ,
4the pictures it will be seen how a.

Fordson motor might be used at a

--cost of about $100.00 for the ﬁx-

tures and mountings. The motor
can be removed from the tractor and
placed on the combine by two men
in about a half day’s time. It .can
be returned to the tractor from the
combine after harvest in approxi-
mately the same length of-ti-me. '

The motor furnished with {the
combine would be idle property after
harvest, but not with this Fordson.
It can be used in the tractor for
seeding and ﬁtting.

I do not intend to use it next season.

What We Harvested

My combine harvested 50'acres of-

winter wheat, 56 acres of barley, 7
acres of oats, and 10 acres of spring
wheat in 1927.. Wheat is the crop
with Which it worked best, but it is
a very nice way to handle barley and
does goOd threshing.

I-harvested 16~ acres-of barley for

a neighbor in'8lyé hours actual cut—,

ting time. There were 650 bushels
on the 16 acres. The charge was
$2.50 per acre for cutting and the
regular threshing charge per bushel,
which totaled $4.00 per acre.

lg'to attend the spring meeting of the
’ ~Mlchigan State Horticultural Society,
, which was held in the ballroom of
Nthe new Roosevelt Hotel.

Growers
from eastern and central Michigan
were there in force and those from
the western part of the State learned
.many interesting things about .the
excellentgrowing and arketing op-
portunities of eastern Michigan.

. The meeting opened with a talk on
orchard soil management by Prof.
John Sims of M. S. 0., who especially
"stressed the importance of adding
organic matter to our Michigan or—
chard» soils. Organic matter in the
soil . adds to its water holding

oapacity.-makes heavy soil more easi-
, ly worked, liberates .large quantities

of plant food such as potash, ‘helps
keep up the nitrogen content of the
soil, helps to prevent leaching and
washing. New processes of nitrogen
ﬁxation were said to require only
1/16 of the electrical energy which
was needed 15 years ago for making
nitrogen fertilizers and the growers .
were given the good news that nitro-
gen, the great orchard fertilizer, is
due to be cheaper in the future.

Prof. W. S. Toothacker of Bir-
mingham continued the soils discus—
sion with a description of how the
fruit soils of eastern Michigan were
formed. Most of these fruit soils
are moraines or deposits, left by the
great ice sheets which covered the
State in ages past.

Backyard Garden

The backyard fruit garden was
discussed by Mr. R. J. Coryell of Bir—
mingham. Currants, cherries, straw-
berries, and grapes were recommend-
ed for the backyard garden but ap-
ples were not advised because of
difficult pest control. The speaker
emphasized the growing consumer
‘demand for ripe quality. Green

,, grapefruit and oranges unkissed by

quality varieties will be in special
the sun will have to give way to tree
ripened fruit. It’was also predicted
that“ canned fruit of certaifr high
demand and Northern Spy pie will be
featured in preference to Ben Davis
pie;

Mr. A. L. Bell, director of Pontiac’s
public‘market, described the growth
:‘and‘management problems of farm-
ers’ retail markets. The markets
under Mr. Bell’s management are no

‘longer opposed by retail merchants

but have proved a good source of
supply for these merchants. In ad-
dition to being of great importance

“good cash'proﬁts to the towns in

THIS is the ﬁrst of a series of short articles on muck land farming

by Mr. W. E. Boyd, of Kalamazoo County, which will appear in

our columns from time to time.

Mr. Boyd started farming on

muck land when he was eleven years old and he is still at it at the ,age
of ﬁfty-ﬁve, so you can ﬁgure he knows something about the subject he
discusses through M. B. F. And during these forty-four years he has
used his head as well as his hands, accumulating a lot of valuable

information which he is now passing along to our readers.

HE theory of muck land farm-
ing dees not differ materially
from the theory of any other
kind of farming so far as theory is
concerned; yet muck land farming
differs widely from general farming
in that you are producing a special-
ized crop of very perishable produce.
A general farmer can produce a
certain amount of wheat, hay, beans
or corn and when these creps are
placed in the bin they may be said to
be ready for market. The- farmer
can then take an inventory of what
he has and consider thathehas ap-
proximately so, much money coming.
The much land farmer may apply
himself just. as. thoroughly and pro-

duce just asmuch money’s worth of .

produce but when his crops are said
to be ready for market (With the
possible exception of mint) :he can'
take an inventory of his produce and

ﬁnd that he will begunable ,to esti— ‘

mate the amount 'of‘ money he is
likely to receive for the same 011.7840-
count of the perishable character of
these crops.

The successful muckv‘ land farmer '

is a very efficient person. v'IFrom the
time he begins to plant his crop in

the spring until he gets the money ,

for that crop in his pocket, about the
only thing that can detract him from
his job would be his own funeral.
Aiding Farmer
We hear much talk now about
Congress passing legislation to aid
the farmers. When a manufacturing

To Feed the Calf

concern begins to fall behind in
proﬁts they call in an eﬂiciency ex-
pert to discover where the trouble
is. It may be found in the sales de-
partment, in the purchasing depart-
ment, in the mechanical department
or in the overhead. If farmers
could do the same thing they would
ﬁnd that perhaps they were not
plan-ting up-to-date seed, that the
farm was not producing a balanced
crop, that they were not giving the
Soil the proper amount of fertilizer
or that they were carrying an over
supply of unproﬁtable labor saving
machinery. I believe if most farm-

ers‘ could becOme more efficient in ,.

conducting their farms it would do
more to aid them than all the laws .
Congress is likely to pass.

In comparing a muck land farm
with a grain farm we will suppose
that an 80—acre grain farm isa one
man job. Then so isa 5—.acre muck .
land farm a one man job, as both
farms are about the equivalent in
labor and should produce about the
samenet proﬁt generally. For the
beneﬁt" ’of all muck land farmers'I
,would Warn you not to overload
your man-power if yOu wish to get
the maximum ,results in proﬁts;
rather allow one man for each 5
acres you wish to work. On this
baSis a 100-acre muck land farm
would require 20 men. to obtain a
maximum production and keep your
overhead expenses where they should
be.

sixteen hours of wet to iage were
said to be enough to esta lish apple ,

and large capacity spray pumps was
recommended to aid timeliness.
Long rows to lessentime wasted in

some ’of the methods which can be“
employed to more than double the

Eight per cent dormant oil for leaf

red mite were the strengths recom-
mended for these two pests. Spray-
ing only with the wind for aphis was
said to be .a waste of material be-
cause the aphids usually stay’ on the
side of the twigs away from the
wind. It was said to be easier for
the average growerﬁto fail in pest
control with dust than with spray,
because a single dust application will
not last as long-as an application of
spray. “The. small grower'does not
need a duster,”.said Prof. Dutton.

V ?- Plant ‘ growth i can be regulated

almost like a machine

WHILE plants, to prosper, require an abun-
dance of all plant foods, one element controls
the yield and quality of certain crops. Nitro-é
gen is the dominant element with wheat,

‘ phosphorus with corn, potash with potatoes

and legumes.

When you consider soil deﬁciencies, lack
of balance, and plant preferences, varying
proportions of plant food elements are required
in the manufacture of fertilizers for different
soils and crops.

These requirements can be supplied, how-
ever, with comparatively few grades. There
is no earthly reason for manufacturing so many
grades. Doing so increases manufacturing
costs, slows up shipments, and confuses the
buyer unnecessarily.

. Several conferences have been held recently
between state agronomists and fertilizer man-
ufacturers. Their aim has been to reduce the
number of grades, to standardize plant food
proportions, to increase the demand for high
grades, and to discourage the use of low grade
goods with a cheaper-per~ton but higher—per;
pound-of-plant-food cost. These conferences

phave resulted in deﬁnite agreements and

recommendations.

Fertilizer users can aid materially in this
campaign for fewer and better grades by buy-
ing the recommended ratios in the higher
analysis forms. It will save them r'noney.
Fertilizer. manufacturers will have to sacriﬁce
some pet grades and brands. It will be a good
thing for them in the long run.

Another foolishness about fertilizer is the
idea that odor and dark color indicate quality.
{They do not. The higher grades/are light in
color and practically odorless. They are purer
and better. ,

. r r r
If all the‘ fertilizer ingredients and mixed
fertilizer used in the. United States were mix/ed

into one grade, it would analyze a shade above
3% ammonia, 9% of available phosphoric
acid, and 3% potash—a 1-3-1 ratio. A 3-9-3,
a 4-12-4, or a 5-15-5 are all ail-3-1 ratio. 5-15—5
furnishes plant food in the same proportions
as the lower grades, and at a cheaper cost per
pound of plant food. This ratio is an approved
one, and is very largely used for other than

truck crops.
'1. ’1. 1

Ville, from 1860 to 1876, at the French Experi-
mental Station at Vincennes, did some of the
most original and fundamental work on plant
feeding. This was before we knew anything
about bacteria. With a complete chemical
fertilizer (analyzing approsimately 7% nitro-
gen, 6% phosphoric acid, 7% potash, and--

without manure), he was able to grow 50. i '

bushels [of wheat per acre. On the same soil
with nitrogen alone his yield dropped to 22
bushels. When he used phosphoric acid and
potash alone his yield was 18 bushels. With-
out fertilizer he grew 12 bushels per acre. He
remarks: ‘

l‘. . . by the aid of simple chemical products
and by the exclusion of all unknown sub-
stances, a maximum crop may be obtained
from all plants in anyplace and in any condi—
tion of soil; further, by varying the quantity of
these products, the work 9f vegetation may be '
regulated almost like a machine, the useful-
ness of which is in proportion to the fuel it
consumes.”

Armour’s BIG CROP high analysis fertilizers
furnish plant foods in available form, properly
combined to insure quick, heavy growth, and
maturity, and maximum yields of ﬁrst quality.

ANIMALS AT LARGE
In regard to cattle running in

road, we are pestered around here,

with scrub bulls on the roads that
break through our fences and run
with our milk-.cows that we want to
breed to pure-bred bulls. Do" the
Owners have a right to let these ani-
mals run at large?—M. J. B., Ona-
way, Mich.

NIMALS are prohibited from run-
ning at large except in certain
counties. If you do not live in

one of these counties you could have
the cattle locked up to keep them off
the highway. See the prosecutor.—

LANDLORD SHOULD GET SHARE

I rent a farm and the ownervis
supposed to furnish everything and
I get one-third. It I plowed the side
of the road this spring and planted
my own seed‘ potatoes, could the
owner claim one—third of the crop
when they were harvested? Or,
could I claim the whole crop? I
know that a land owner has to pay
taxes clear to the center of the road,
but 'never—the-less' it isall public
highway between the road fences, so
why couldn’t anyone claim all that
they grew on the side of the road?

HEN a tenant rents a farm on
VK’ shares any labor expended by

him or his help should be in the
interest of the landlord as well as
himself. If the tenant does do out—
side work the landlord should re-
ceive a shore of the income unless
otherwise agreed upon. This is no
more than fair to both parties be-
cause it would be possible in many
cases for the tenant to rent a farm
onshares and expend a large amount
of his time in doing operations other
than those connected with the farm
thereby neglecting the farm business
in so doing—F. T. Riddell, Research
Assistant in Farm Management.

MUST SHE PAY NOTE?
I have signed up for a course in
a correspondence school. ‘ I gave
them a note as I did n'ot have the
money then. . I did not take lessons

‘as my health is not v‘ery good. I

paid one—third of the note. If I
send their books back, can they col-
lect the rest of the note?—Mrs. S.,
Pinconning, Mich.

THE company could collect on the ’

note you signed covering the

balance of the price of the
course unless they fraudulently mis-
represented the course to you in
order to get you to take it. ———Legal

Pom Scab

UES’TIONS about controlling po-
tato scab are beginning to come
and dozens more of them will
arrive before planting time. The
treating of. potatoes to prevent scab
is one or those
annual t o p i e e
_ which come with
= as unfailing reg-
i uhrity as the
[arch wind. Po-
tato scab was
worse in 192‘?

harvested a. crop
with considerable
scab on it. Cause?
I don’t know. Isn't therea. remedy?
No, I don’t think there is a one
hundred percent eﬁicient remedy. A
ﬁeld that has scab bacteria in the
soil will cause more or less scab in
spite of all the treatment I know of.
For these infected ﬁelds, Inoculated
Sulphur is recommended. However.
sulphur will not always be entirely
euective and the drawback to its use
is the fact that if applied in quan-
tity large enough to be or practical
worth, it causes an acid condition of
the soil which must be counteracted
with an application of lime it le—
gumes are to be grown successfully

afterwards. -

The College ran an experiment
with sulphur on our farm about ﬁve
years ago and where the sulphur
was used in 600 pounds per acre
quantity there has never been any
clover or alfalfa since. It scab is
in the soil there will probably be
some scab on the potatoes no matter
what you use or do. However, it
the soil is free from scab, and po—
tatpes are properly treated hetero
planting, there is little fear of scab
in normal seasons—but 1927 was
one «exception.

All potatoes should be treated for
scab whether scabby or free from it.
Scab on the potato may be killed by
several method-s. Formaldehyde is
a good treatment. We have used it
with great success by putting one
pint in ﬁfteen gallons of water and
simply dipping the seed (uncut), in
it for a minute. Do not let it remain
longer. Dry by placing crate of wet
potatoes where air can pass around
it. Where one pint of formaldehyde
is used in thirty gallons of water,
they should be soaked for an hour
or so. This treating with formalde-

 

law.“

. hyde, or any other method should be

done two weeks or more before
planting, as it retards the growth of
the sprouts and if planted as soon as
treated they are too long before
showing above ground. If Corrosive
Sublimate is used, we put four ounc-
es in thirty gallons 01' water and
soak the spuds about forty-ﬁve min-
utes. This is a more expensive
treatment than formaldehyde and no
more eifective, by our experience.

' size.

The latter method is required of the
certiﬁed seed growers. as it is said
to control Black ‘Scurf as well as
scab. , ’

There are two or three ' patented
scab treatments on the market tor
this year which are claimed by their
manufacturers to have all the other
methods outclassed. These new
dance are quite expensive, but are
worth their price if they will do what
their makers claim, and we are go:
ing to try them out and know for
ourselves what they will do. In us-
ing Corrosive Sublimate, which is
Bichloride of Mercury in deadly
poison) one must use care and not

.let poultry or anything else hays a

chance to get to the treated seed, or
the mixture. Potatoes remove a.
certain amount of the Mercury. and
after two batches are treated we add
another ounce of it to every second
batch. This is generally ellfective.

Good Cooperation in Ohio

There is a county organization of
farmers “down" in the central part
of Ohio. not far from Columbus, who
are using the cooperative system of
buying and selling to the best advan-
tage of any I know of: This asso-
ciation was formed by the farm bu-
reau, and has been developed to a
very high state or eﬁiciency. They
buy nearly everything in quantities
large enough for the entire county.
and sell in the same way. This coun-
ty has an agricultural agent. Been
there for twelve years and he he!
had no small part in developing this
cooperation. The man is called the
“Service Manager” and license has
a job or no small proper-ﬂood. He
does all the buying and selling for
the county. Every town has a. local
co-op, but they simply look after lo-
cal business and line up the slut
that is to be sold, and supplies that
are needed. These sales or wants are
then placed “with the Service Man-
ager who deals in car lots or some-
times in train loads. Last year they
bought a trainload of fertilizer direct
from the factory. The price was, at
course, very low on an order of that
All the stock is shipped under
one name and they have a ﬂeet of
trucks which go and bunch the stock

to make a worth while impression on .

that small ungraded lots can not 5
touch. After the stock has been
trucked together in suﬁicient quan-
tity, it is shipped by railroad. These
farmers are beginning to grow more
and more potatoes. We have shipped ,
them a carload of seed each spring, ,
and this spring they are to get an- ,
other. .

know (us better than we did them.

They knew us by shipping tags they ‘

had seen on their potato sacks!
There were many interesting things
to be seen on the drive, and one that
- seemed to me as being different than
I expected, was when We passed
through an oil section and saw_ hun-
dreds of oil wells, each well witha
‘pump, and some of them pumping.
These wells were arwwhere from ten
to sixty rods apart, and we'learned
that the farmer receives as his.pay,
every eighth barrel of the crude oil.
This was said to be worth $2.50 per
barrel at the present time. 'It cer-
tainly made a ﬁne income for a'host
of farmers, and their ﬁne buildings
and well kept places showed they
had used the income to good advan-
tage. Natural gas was in evidence
everywhere, and on farms where gas
wells'were located, the revenue was
extéa good. .

ne thing we noticed on the drive
and which we shall remember as

sence of signs, giving town locations

Soft corn is poor property. :You _
can’t sell it at a proﬁt and it makes
sorry feed. Yet for the last ﬁvesea-
sons the crop has been from 25% to
40% soft. A big loss—and, ifyou had
any soft corn, you shared that loss.

Fertilized corn grows rapidly, ripens

planting time can be made up where 300
to 500 pounds of available plant food is
applied to insure constant, steady growth.

7 'EeRhm'ro‘R: We take‘ the M.

. B.‘ Rand like it very well. You

. have taken a. great interest in
the farmers' problems and one thing
is driving the chicken thief out.
Every one that’is convicted of steal-
ing chickens ought not to get less
than ﬁve years in prison and there
would not be so many in the business.

I have been in the. farming .busi-
nose for a‘ number of years but I
think 1927 is the poorest season "we
ever experienced. Hay and grain
were fair crops but not much grain
sowed. Corn was a very poor crop.
Beans and potatoes about half a
crop. The most of the white beans
were sold here for from $4.75 to
$5.00 per hundred pounds. But
now after they are in the speculators’
hands they have gone up to $6.50 per
hundred. They are paying 650 to
70c per bushel for potatoes and it
don’t look like we were going to get
any more.

What I wanted to know Was it
there is anything you can do to help
the farmer out of the rut. Taxes are
very high and when the farmer gets
his taxes paid he hasn’t; anything
left. Beef and cattle are Very high
in price, but hogs are cheap. Why
is it? And grain is high. No farmer
can grow hogs for $7.50 per hundred
with grain as high as it is now. Why
have they cut the price of hogs and
give it to the butcher and the packer
when it belongs to the farmer, the
one that has raised them. I doubt
if you can buy pork out of a meat
market any cheaper than you could
a year ago. If the farmer don’t get
some protection pretty soon some of
the people in the cities are going to
go hungry for there are but very few
farm boys who stay on the farm after
they become of age. Two million
farmers have left their farms and
gone to the city in the last six years.
There will have to be a change or
the rest will leave for they can’t
stay.-——H. H.. Milbrook, Mich.

 

AGAIN M‘ HOOVER

EAR EDITOR: We have a pri-
mary election in April to elect a
candidate for president and

some folks are coming out strong
for Secretary Hoover as candidate on
the Republican ticket. I can not
see hOW they can ask the farmers to
support a candidate like Mr. Hoover
who said the farmers were in the
minority class as he wrote me when
I wrote him in regard to the potato
screen and grading. '

All I can see about Hoover-Lhe ‘is
a candidate of Wall Street and the
business class,» and if he is nominated
and elected the farmers will be under
the yoke of Wall Street and the busi-
ness class for another eight years.
~ Wake up farmers and get behind a
candidate like Lowden who is in-
terested in the farmers’ cause—-
Frank DeBoer, Rodney County.

 

OUR R. F. D. SYSTEM

EAR EDITOR: What about our

rural mail routes? ~They are

unfair and unjust. There are
around ten per cent of the rural
homes that do not get free rural
mail service. Most of this ten per
cent have to walk nearly a mile a
day to get their mail. This is a
great hardship, especially to old
people who can not walk nearly a
mile daily to get their mail, especial-
ly when the weather is -bad. About
all these old people get out of life
is their daily papers. Why should
they be deprived of them?

The Post Office Department de—.
livers the mail to everybody’s ad-
dress in‘every city.and town in the
United States, it I what mistaken.
Why shouldn’t it be delivered the
same in rural communities?

BETTER GAME LAWS

DEAR EDITOR: These are the

days of many varied opinions,

and some of them due to sel—
ﬂsh motives to pursue to kill. With
these existing we have a mingled
mass of laws, as I view it, from ex-
perience. The legislativ committee of
our legislature should make through
its commitees, not a commission of
men, to open or close our laws. If

 

game or ﬁsh or furs are plentiful ~

enough to have a short season each

year conﬁne this to even dates of 5
opening and closing. Then air hunt— '
ers will know the law will stand for ,

at least two years. when legislature
meets again. Keep the season closed
on quail or any other game needing
protection. _

When a person pays for a hunt-
ing license give him a. chance to use
it by letting him shoot one doe every
other year, having open season one
year and closed the next. I mean
let them shoot does. I saw four—

 

 

ACTION COUNTS
EAR EDITOltz—We like the
M. B. F. We take three farm
,_ papers, but the M. B. F. is
the one paper that does not spend
all its energy in talking of help-
ing ‘the farmer, but it gets its
shoulder under the farmer’s burd-
en and lifts. not only with inﬂu-
ence, but with the hard cash, es-
pecially in the matter of the chicken
thief, crooks and fakes, and col-
lection of debts. Long live the
Business Farmer-i It is doing 3
great'serviccr—Herman Brown, An-
' Antrim County.

 

 

teen nice sleek deers in four days in
Iosco county last fall and only got
a glimpse of one I could kill. I
understand these conditions exist in
other places.

I believe the pheasant season is
too short. About ten days would be
right.

The pests like the mink we should
be allowed to hunt by dog and gun
during January and December for
he kills wantonly our protected
game. I say always hunt the mink
and we will then have more useful
animals that do not kill.

I believe the owner of farm lands
should trap the same without the
ten cents per trap. As for I myself
I own two hundred acres that I do
not live on and 'I think the word
“domiciled” in the law should be
changed to “owner.” Also where a.
fur buyer takes out a license to
buy furs let his license be good for
one fur season. As it is, he buys a
license for November 15 to Decem—
ber 31. Then he is required to re-
new by paying same fee for January.
Therefore the privilege to buy furs
has cost him $26 and he can only
purchase two articles, skunk and
weasel. I am glad the law requires
a. bond for the fur buyer so he will
not buy only articles of fur during
the season.

I like the law as it is that gives
us the privilege of spearing a few
ﬂsh through the ice. It is a nice pas-
time and provides a few fish for
self or sick folks. ~Ono might just
as well get a few in this way as let
our commercial ﬁshermen of the
Great Lakes have them. - ‘

FISH LAWS
EAR EDITOR: We would like
to have our views on ﬁsh laws
"published. Talk about protec-
tion,’ do you see any in letting the
public spear all they can, and at a.
time when the females are full of
spawn?

It is generally understood that
the big sport has the big end of the
bargain. Now, friends, the true
sportsman takes each day just
enough to make a fair meal. But
we have the hog who is never satis—
ﬂed. He salts them down to give
to some friends at home, to be a
good fellow, you know.

Here are'our views. Stop all spear-
ing, netting, set lines and dynamit-
ing for all times.

Does a person who hooks a small
ﬁsh violate the law willfully? No.
But here is where some of the depu-
ties show their power. We favor
abolishing the law governing the size
and put the small ﬁsh as one of
count on limit of catch. This would
save the public some ﬁsh, because
when a ﬁsh is hooked so that it
bleeds it dies whether you put it
back in the water on not. And above
all have the season on all ﬁsh open
at the same time. We cannot throw
a line in the water and order any
certain kind or size to bite.-——L. H.
P., Rodney, Mich.

Sow Your Fertilizer
As You Plant

IVE your corn crop the advantage that comes with
G sowing fertilizer at the time of planting— it will
grow faster and make a bigger yield if you plant with the

John Deere No. 999 Planter
With Safety Fertilizer Attachment

The accuracy of the “999” in plant-
ing seed and fertilizer just the way
you want it means a better stand and
maximum yield.

The safety fertilizer attachment
provides a new method of applying
fertilizer that eliminatesthe danger of
ﬁring the seed. This has always been
a source of fault with other types of
fertilizer attachments. You can sow
the right amount of fertilizer up to
700 pounds per acre, either checked
with the corn or drilled.

Th John Deere Natural Drop Seed
Plat drops just the desired amount
of seed into each hill as accurately
as the human hand.”

You can quickly change from hill-
ing to drilling with the John Deere
“999". And the variable drop foot
shift permits instant change of the
number of kernels dropped in each
hill.

The widespread popularity of this
John Deere planter is your assur-
ance of its eﬂiciency and long life.

TEXT: “list they may all be one.”
John 17:21.

VENTUALLY, why not. now,”
is a well—known ﬂour slogan.
Its practicability rests upon
Many
housewives have been caught by its
subtle appeal. An educator appropri-

_ ated it recently in his plea for con-

solidated schools? He said that this
centralization was coming eventual-
ly, so why not now? If you have
this sane and scientiﬁc educational
creation in your midst, you know
of. its worth in better teachers, better
equipment, and better social arrange—
HL 1“. G.

This is but to augur what is com-
ing in organized community religion.
But it isnow here in several hundred
communities. It is proving that our
text is more than a. human sugges-
tion. It is 'a divine prophecy now in
process of fulﬁllment; a divine ﬁnale.
Wouldn’t you like to have religion
harmonized and consolidated in your
community? Don’t you believe that.
it would intensify the neighborly
spirit, command the respect of young
people, and better promote the
growth of essential Christianity?
Don’t you think that when we wor-
ship together we can the better work
together? A few nights ago the
writer was called to a neighboring
church to preach. There were Meth-
odists, Baptists, Presbyterians,
Saints, Brethren, and Lutherans in
the congregation; and several preach-
ers. These preachers, with great
ebullition, told of their joy in hav-
ing there so many denominational
friends. And, from all that they
said, we assumed that the denomina—
tional tags would be removed when
We meet St. Peter at the door. Now,
really, is that true? And if even-
tually, why not now? The speaker
tried graciously to reciprocate the
movement of affection toward him,
but gently warned all that we do not
get to loving one another too ar-
dently,'or it might result disastrous-
ly for the status quo. You know
when folks really get to loving each
other they get together. So, the
audience was cautioned to do noth-
ing so serious as to precipitate a
movement toward Christian unity.
It would be unnecessarily severe on
denominational s e c 1' e t a r i e s and
boards.

But hold on! That is the very
thing We are to consider together.
And Why? The system! The sys-
tem! Shall we permit a system to
go unchallenged that threatens to
ruin the very fabric of democratic so-
ciety? “Do you mean our religious
system?” says some one. “Yes.”
But we have in mind also other sys-
tems that are being aided and
abetted by our divided church sys-
tem. The writer has no delight in

inveighing against these systems, but.
he believes they fructify in the fer-
provided by nearly two

hundred sects and denominations.
Had we the impact on our politics of
a united, vital religion, it would not
be footballing about questions of
burning human need. We sat in the
galleries at Washington and saw this
ignoble play under our eyes; Our
political system needs a religion
that puts the welfare of humanity
above the raucous glorifying of
state. And‘what about the war sys-
tem that is'fed by subtle and power-
ful causes? The industrial system
that counts human values all too
cheap and that is heading farm labor
toward servitude? The pleasure sys-
tem that is lavish on selﬁsh expendi—
tures and measures its religious gen-
erosity on the church books by a
deﬁcit? We must be aroused to this
hardness of the system, the cause of
which is within; but encouraged by
the prophecy that “The kingdoms of
the world are to become the kingdom
of our Lord.” Therefore, it is basic
that we treat with the world order
religiously. It is at heart a spiritual
malady. It always has been. And
he who undertakes to turn physician
had better ﬁrst look out a place to
land. Long ago the world’s Savior
said that to attack the system was
to pay the penalty of excommunica-
tion. It was the heartless system of
church and state that nailed the
Galilean to the Cross, while it
thought it‘ was rendering God serv-
ice. The present world system is a
multicipital thing with its root in re-
ligious history. Therefore, adjust-
ments in society rest back upon a
readjusted religion. .This has proof
in the historic fact that the Refor-
mation fruited out into greater in-
ternational respect, a better social
order, political freedom, and ad—
vancement of popular education.

But while the Reformation gave
rise to modern Protestantism, it in-
cidentally led to many denomina-
tions; and we are now in need of
a. new movement to consolidate the
numerous protestant faiths. The
present denominational system was
greatly strengthened in the migra—
tory days of the church in America.
Perhaps there is an old resident in
your community who remembers the
days of the covered—wagon and the
treking to new lands in the West.
Let us think honorably of the ,neW
settlers because while they were
building new homes on the plains
and in the forests, they demanded
schools and churches. They were
religious themselves and would bring
their children up so. But this gave
occasion for the various denomina-
tions to rush in to pre-empt the new
ﬁeld. How energetic they were in
this is now seen in our greatly over-
churched condition in many places.
Most of our rural churches are. sur—
vivals of that period.

But now, and especially since the
late war, we are in a new period.
With shifting farm populations, an
admixture of races, absent owners,

HAVE SOME ‘ SHORTCAKE

TRAWBERRY Shortcake is the-

most delicious delicacy known

to mankind." These mouth-
watering words were spoken by Mr.
B. W. Keith, strawberry grower of
Sawyer, Michigan, ,while addressing
the Berrien County Horticultural So-
ciety at Benton Harbor on February
24. In speaking of varieties the Pre-
ruler was very highly recommended.
It was called an
early, h o a v y
» bearer of very
desirable b er-
_ries. Its one fault
was said to be. a
' tendency to be a
light plant mak-
.er. Rich ground
and spring ap-
plicatiOns of fer-
tilizers w e r e
deemed desirable
to get this vari-
ety to make a.
goOd r o w o 1
plants. Of the
cverbearers the Mastodon was called
the best. This variety was originat‘
ed by a farmer in Indiana and is the
result of a croSs between an ever-
bearer and a late common variety.
The originator ﬁrst called it “The
Bull of the Woods” but this name
was afterwards changed to Mastodon.
The growers were warned however
that no variety, not even the best,
can grow itself. While mdny grow-
ers produce only 75 crates per acre
others produce 400 or more. Soil
fertility was called an all-important
factor in strawberry culture. The
5011 should be in rich mellow condi-
tion before the plants are set. The
best commercial fertilizers were said
to be acid phsophate and sulphate of
ammonia. The subject of pollination
was also discussed. Nubbins or “but-
tons” were said to be the result of
poor pollination, either through
weather conditions or lack of bees.
Considerable emphasis was laid on
the inefﬁciency of thick matted rows.
The' speaker declared that morevand
better berries are produced on nar-
rowlrows with the plants thinned to
six inches apart, and the tendency
toward crowding of plants must be

 

Herbert anzlgor

especially guarded against with such‘:

heavy plant makers as the‘ Dunlap.
There are now ﬁve thousand road-
side stands in the U. S. said Mr. A. H.

Walters in his talk on roadside mar- _

wketing. This speaker made it very
plain that he believed in treating his
customers fairly and courteously.
Over-charging was condemned as in-
jurious to the roadside marketing
business. Mr. Walters makes it his
business to treat his customers in a'
way that will make them want to
come back. Said he, “One regular
customer is worth ﬂfty transients."
Neatness and cleanliness wer'e con-
sidered prime factors in the success

l of a roadside stand, and the greatest

opportunities were said to lie' in the
sale of home—grown farm products
and fruit and not in hot dogs, to-
bacco, etc.

Prof. S. A. Smith spoke of soil re-
juvenation, and said, “Farming is
becoming more and more a question
of chemistry." Good new land is
rapidly disappearing. Much of our
soil is now merely a place to hold
the plants and the plant food and
water must be supplied by the farm'-
er through correct farming methods.

That towns and cities are learn-
ing the necessity for better coopera-
tion with the farmers was the key-
note of an address by Mr.. Ray Davis,
secretary of the Chamber of Come
merce of St. Joseph, Michigan.
organization is laying plans to hold
joint meeting with farmers in which
all hands will be invited to give sug-
gestions as to how their interests
can best be served. Better market-
ing facilities and more canneries are
among the things to be worked for.
While discussing the immense growth
of the tourist business in Michigan.
Mr. Davis mentioned a. demand
real old fashioned farm resorts,
observed that these are rather . ‘
at ”present. The speaker stated;

 
 

His ‘

 

  
     

many tourists come to his oﬂic’e say-
ing that they want to spend their va-
cations on a real farm, and oft times,
in a. world of summer resorts, there is
no place to send them.

APPLE SYRUP BEATS MAPLE
N apple syrup which resembles
corn or maple syrup but is

greatly‘superior to. them in ﬂa- .

vor and palatability is described by
the Oregon Agricultural College. It
Is made by -‘neutraliZing the acid in
fresh cider ‘with calcium carbonate
(obtained at any drug store) at the

rate of ﬁve oun'ce‘s to fourteen gal?

10115 of cider and then boiling.

Action of the calcium carbonate
causes a. precipitate which is allowed
tosettle for six or eighthours before
the liquid is poured into kettles” A
teaspoonful of calcium carbonate
again is added and the juice is boiled
down to a seventh of its original vol-
ume, when it has the appearance of
maple syrup- The suspended matter
settles while, the syrup cools. .The
product can be poured into either
glass jars or tin cans. Before sea1«
ing the syrup is sterilized by boiling
for 12 minutes.

THE SUMMER TOUR IN CANADA
T has now been deﬁnitely decided
that the next summer tour of the
State Horticultural Society will
take the growers to the St. Cather—
ines district of Ontario, Canada.
Though the exact date has not been
ﬁxed it will probably be July 27- 28
or August 3- 4.

more. buds are wanted it is best to
leave additional arms rather than to
leave a large number of buds. per
arm. M. s. C. experiments have

' shown that the best type of Wood to

leave is that which measures one-
quarter inch in diameter when meas«
ured between the ﬁfth and sixth bud,
and whose buds are spaced from ﬁve
to eight inches apart. V

The object in trimming them so
heavily is to thin the crop to a. point
where the fruit will mature properly
and be of good quality, and is also
necessary to keep the entire vine
from being weakened from over-bear—
ing. A vine which over-bears gets
into the habit of bearing Only every
Other year and its weakened condi-
tion after an excessive crop also rend-
ers it subject to winter injury and
disease. A vine which is kept in vig-
orous condition by good pruning will
gradually incre’a‘se in Strength until
it can produce‘heavy crops without
injury.

ELECTRICAL W[BING HA8
\ TWO PURPOSES
HETHER new or old houses are
being' wired for electricity,
New York state college of
home economics advises the use of
wiring which makes housework easi-
er as well as that which gives good
lighting. Plenty of .ﬂoor plugs, out-
lets for electrical equipment, lights
in» dark closets, and convenient
switches help to ease women’s work.
The college points out, however, that
if there is any doubt as to which im-
provement—ﬁghts or running water
and plumbing—to install ﬁrst, plumb-
ing should be given the preference.

In the kitchen, lights should be
located so that they illuminate the
work. They should not be located so
they shine in the eyes of the worker
or throw her shadow on her work.
Ceiling units especially devised for
use in kitchens, if properly located,
provide excellent lighting. Wall
service outlets in addition to lights
are especially to be recommended
and the kitchen should be wired for
one or more plugs to suit conditions.

The dining room needs a wall out-
let or drop socket from the ﬁxture
over the table for electric toasters,
percolators, wattle irons, or other
electric equipment used for cooking
at the table. The outlet may be used
for the vacuum cleaner, too, when
the dining room is being cleaned.

Several low, wall or base-board
outlets are desirable in the living
room for bridge lamps and table
lamps and for attaching the vacuum
cleaner. Having more than one
such outlet prevents the need for un-
sightly extension cords about the
room. A low, wall outlet is also de—
sirable in each bedroom and a higher
one in the bathroom will permit elec-
tric heaters or curling irons to be
used.

Shoes and hats do not get lost in
the corners of large clothes closets
equipped with ceiling lights. Dark
hallways and staircases need wall or
ceiling lights, and, with convenient
switches at both ends, no one need
stumble up ordown dark stairs.

A switch by the cellar door with a
pilot light connected with all the cel-
lar lights will save electricity by in-
dicating when the lights are on.

,Consideration for both the present
and future needs of electricity in the
heme when the house is being wired
will save the expense of additional
wiring later and the inconvenience
of too few electric outlets.

CREOSOTE

We have had creosote dripping
from one of our chimneys. This
chimney does not extend into the
basement. The pipe from the stove
to the chimney is about 15 feet long.
What causes this creosote? Is it
corncobs or other fuel? How can it
be gotten rid of?—R. B., Corunna,
Mich.

REOSOTE is a product which
comes from burning wood and
passes off in gas. It is more

abundant in some kinds of wood than
others and will give much more
trouble with green wood than with
dry wood.

In cases where a stove pipe is ex—
posed for a considerable distance be-
fore it goes into awchimney and this
space is cold, the creosote in coming
in contact with the cold pipe con-
denses. I know of no way that this
can be entirely prevented except by
shortening the pipe.

You could, of course, use a pipe
with a considerable pitch and put
the joints together in such a way
that creosote running down the pipe

’ could not come out at the joints.

The difﬁculty will be greatest when

. a small ﬁre is burning since the air
g around the pipe is likely to be cold.
. It the stove is operated at full blast
; all the time, I doubt it you would

2 have any trouble. You, may be op--

' crating the stove nights when there. ‘

. is a low fire and the draft shut close.

"Tho Farm Paper of Service"

 

MINUTE MEN AGAIN ORGANIZED

NCE again the clarion note which called the
staunch farmers to defend the bridge at
Lexington in 1775 'is being heard throughout

Michigan! TIIE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER is
organizing “The Minute Men” to protect the prop-
erty—perhaps even the lives of
the farmer and his family!

With the coming of good roads
and the automobile, there was,
up to two years ago, a startling
increase in the number of farm
robberies. It was easy for a
band of crooks to steal all of the
poultry, for example, in a neighborhood and still
deliver them to a city market ﬁfty or a hundred
miles away by day-break. Livestock, grains,
even the farmers’ automobile, truck or machinery
became an easy prey for the motorized bandits.

In September, 1926, THE BUSINESS FARMER.
posted a thousand dollars to be paid in rewards
of ﬁfty dollars each, for the capture of chicken
thieves, and later added ﬁve hundred dollars ad-
ditional to cover livestock and grain. More than
200,000 warning signs have since been posted on
the farms of its readers.

In the year and a half since THE BUSINESS

 

'FARMER pioneered this campaign, more than sixty
,chicken thieves have been

“put in the right
coop!” Within the past two weeks we have ex-
tended our campaign by posting an additional
$2000 and extended the provisions to cover all
farm property including automobiles, trucks, trac-
tors, radios, or farm machinery, and increasing
all rewards to $50.

Shortly after this campaign was begun, L. J.
Wilson, a well known Montcalm county farmer
shot and killed a chicken thief found robbing his
coops. He was brought to trial for manslaughter.
In the meantime, THE BUSINESS FARMER, claiming
for the farmer the same right a bank has for
defending its property, published a special edi—
tion of over 125,000 copies, circulated petitions
which were signed by more than 60,000 farmers
and collected a fund from which all court costs
Were paid.

Thousands of farmers from all over the State
attended the trial at Stanton. Wilson was ac-
quitted and for a time there was a marked lessen-
ing of depredations from the farms, but on the
night of December 20th, John McNally, a promi-
nent farmer living near Bay City, was shot and
left to perish in his burning barn by three thieves
he found stealing his grain! He managed to
crawl out and survived, but his barns and cattle
THE BUSINESS FARMER immedi-
ately offered $100 from the Wilson Fund for the

I , capture of the ﬁends who perpetrated this crime

and three men are today awaiting trial for it.
Now, THE BUSINESS FARMER proposes to organ-
ize the farmers of the State into local groups, to
be known as “Minute Men,” who will be armed
and ready to defend the lives and property of

“By the rude bridge that spanned the flood.
Their ﬂag .to April’s breeze unfurled,

Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And ﬁred the shot heard round the world !"

 

IS IT GOOD ., JUDGEMENT?
FARMER owned a clumsy, old draft horse
weighing around 210-0 pounds. He hired
the best jockey in the country and entered

his horse in a mile race against the fastest run—
ning horses in America. Also, he bet a large
sum of money that is horse would win‘ the race.
You would not consider this farmer’s judgment
very good, would you?

The Michigan. State College has a poultry de-
partment, inadequately equipped and ﬁnanced,
that is trying to serve one of the two leading
agricultural industries of the State. No agricul-
tural college in the country can boast of better
talent in its poultry department, but the hands
of the specialists at M. S. C. are tied because of
the lac-k of funds. The legislature voted $1,140,—
000 for the current expenses of the college and of
this amount only $5,500 was turned over to‘ the
poultry department. A prominent poultryman
advises that the department is forced to raise
poultry commercially to cover a large part of its
running expenses in the place of doing research
work which would be to the beneﬁt (if the farm—
ers of Michigan. Yet it is trying to serve an
industry that produced nearly $80,000,000 worth
of poultry and poultry products last year.

An expert jockey could make the draft horse
run faster than a poor one could but he could not
win the race through his own efforts. Neither can
the best of talent in a poorly equipped and ﬁ-
nanced poultry husbandry department serve
Michigan’s rapidly growing poultry industry as
it Should be Served. '

FUNDS FOR CORN BORER FIGHT
T the time this is written the Purnell Bill
making an appropriation of ten million dol—
lars to .be used in the control of the Europe—
an corn borer in the ﬁve states infested is being
considered by the agricultural committee of the
House of Representatives at Washington and prob-
abilities are that, unless real pressure is brought
to bear, it will not receive favorable considera—
tion. If it is not passed farmers in Michigan and
the four other states under quarantine will not
receive any' compensation for extra labor per-
formed both for their own protection and to pre-
vent the spread of the pest into the corn belt.
Agricultural leaders in these states are doing
all they can to bring about favorable con-
sideration of the bill. Mr. .A. C. Carton, director
of the Bureau of Agricultural Industry of the
State Department of Agriculture, heads a delega-
tion from Michigan, and he assures us that no
stone will be left unturned to get the appropri-
ation
The farmers of Michigan and the other four
states should not be called upon to perform extra
labor,.a portion of which is for the protection of
farmers in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, and
other corn growing states, without proper reim-
bursement and we believe our neighbors expect

' and want to contribute their share in making this

payment. Further, if the appropriation is not
made and the farmers must stand all of the
cost of the extra labor we fear for, the success
of the clean up work“ this year.

DO WE NEED A NEW SPOON?

HE kettle continues to boil over at Michigan
T State College and many of us are Wondering
why. The household editor tells us that a
kettle will not boil over if stirred vigorously and
steadily. Can it be that the College needs a new
spoon? We hope the State Board of Agriculture
makes it their busines to ﬁnd out what is wrong as
soon as possible and take steps to correct the
trouble. ~

PETITIONS COMING IN
E hardly expected to receive any of the gaso-
line'tax petitions for a few weeks at least
but we are already receiving them after
the issue containing the heading had been out
only a week. It plainly shows that folks are
worked up over the matter and anxious to do
something. As nothing can be done with the
petitions in the near future you need not be in
a great hurry to send them in. Get all the sign-
ers you possibly can and then when you ﬁgure
you have reached the limit mail the petitions to
us. What we need is names and plenty" of them.

~ PETER PLOW’S PHILOSOPHY o

 

A John Hopkins University perfessor 'claims
that men and wOmen took to wearin’ clothes to
pertect themselves from insects. If that’s true
kinda looks like the women. folks thought sci-
entists has just about ﬁgured out how to get rid
of all our insects and bugs, from the way they’re
dressin’. . ‘

’Cordin’ to the paper some college .perfessor re-
cently come out with the statement that‘» women
never got beyond their baby clothes an' they ain’t
ever Idone anything important. He’s an old batch
all right. Seems like some of them are always
startin’ something like that to keep us married
men in hot water listenin’ to arguments.

One of my neighbor, who’s a lazy sort of a.
cuss, wasn’t much interested. in the corn borer
clean-up campaign last Spring‘an’ the officials’ had"
quite ‘a time gettin’ him to do any cleanin’ up
but since it has been discovered that these borers
make good ﬁsh bait he is a great booster for the
eradication work. In fact, I understand he’s givin'
most of his time to the work.

Got your 1928 license plates for the ﬂivver yet?
’Bout another week and I’ll have enough saved
to get mine for the ﬁrst time since I paid my taxes
in January. '

Has the enlarged picture agent been to see you
yet? It’s still a little early but he’ll come along
soon with all the rest of the insects and pests that
live off the farmer durin’ the summer. Maybe
we can get Congress to make an appropriation
to get rid of him.

Ever hear this one? A politician campaignin'
for oifice was talkin’ before a. group of colored
men. One says-to another, “Say Sam, who am

' “CIVIL SERVICE” COURSES
' BY MAIL
VERY now and then we get a
letter from someone who ap4
parently believes that corres-
pondence schools offering training
for positions with the government

they will but take one of their
courses. This is far from true be-
cause vacancies in the classiﬁed civil
service of the United States are ﬁlled
through open competitive examina-
tions, and certiﬁcations for appoint-
ments are made in accordance with
the ratings in the examinations. No
school or 'other organization can in
any way affect the order of the cer-
tiﬁcation.

According to the Civil Service
Commission, if a person desires to
become a government engineer he
should take a course in engineering
at a standard college. If he wants
to be a general clerk, post office
clerk or carrier, railway postal clerk,
etc., he should have a common school
or high-school education.

If you are interested in any gov-
ernment position and are looking
about for instructions to assist you
in passing an examination, keep in
mind the fact that the proper train-

our M. B. F. and of course the
ﬁrst page we turned to was “The

prise when I read a letter prais-
ing the picture agent. I can’t under-
stand how anyone could, unless they

of us. '

The ﬁrst experience I had with
them was in the city a few years ago,
but Icertainly did not bite that day.
When the young man presented him-
self he said he was a student at an
art studio and they were distributing

‘their work free as a part of-their
course and wanted me to draw a
ticket. But I was green and a young
bride and had no e erience so was
afraid of agents, so told him to go
but he didn’t answer me like a gen-
tleman and I slapped his face and
slammed the door on him.

I didn’t see or hear anything of
the picture agent until we moved up
hereon the farm and believe me it
is the last time I want to because
I sure got in “Dutch” with them this

~ time. I wasn’t lucky enough to have
read about them in the paper before,
so when the young fellow called and
asked how many acres of potatoes We
had planted, and one thing and an—
other about crops, I thought he was
the county agent. After he got in—
side he asked. me how we would
like to invite all of our friends to our
house and give them an exhibit and
I thought he meant some kind of
a farm exhibit, but then he went on
to explain how they were not letting
everybody have this chance,
they had picked me to exhibit their
pictures to my friends, it all sound-
ed good, until he wanted me to draw
from the box. This I refused to do
and told'him about the young fellow
in the city. He said he must have
been one of the fakers the company
had caught and put out of business.

He said I was lucky
as very few people drew two free

" tickets, and then asked me to look

through my pictures to see if I had
any I would like enlarged. He picked
our wedding picture and one of our
little boy on his kiddy car. Then he
asked me to sign my name on a slip
of paper agreeing to hold the exhi-
bition for my friends.

Just then our baby Woke up and I
Went to get him. Seeing the stranger
made him cross and fussy and I had
to hold him. As I was anxious to
get rid of the agent I signed my
name but just as I was ﬁnishing it I
saw an amount of money printed on
the sheet and I said, “Oh, just a
minute,’.’ meaning to read it all, but

he snatched it out of my hand and,

handed me a carbon copy Which I
read right away. When I ﬁnished
it I asked him to give me the other
copy too as he had lied to me but
he hurriedly put it in his pocket,
grabbed up his belongings and
stated out saying the pictures
would arrive at a certain time.

My last words to him were to for-
bidhis turning in that order but it
wasn’t long before anther man came
with the pictures. I was ﬁrm‘ and
wouldn’t even look at them or allow
him to bring them into the house.

I told him ﬂatly What I thought of
the company. He told me to save my
words as he didn’t belong to the
company but was a government col—
lector and he just collected for com-
panies when they put it into the
hands of the government. But I was
not so easily fooled this time and I
As he left
he told me the company would set-
tle with me and it was not long be—
fore I got a letter from the company
asking me to send the money or they
would start suit. That frightened
me some but my husband told me to
pay no attention.

Well, the next letter We got was
sure Wild, they said they had put it
in the hands of the law but they
would wait so many days to give us
another chance to settle up. At the
same time came the good M. B. F.
with a nice piece about the picture
agent and we sure were thankful we
hadn’t bit. After we read the piece
we just let the thing go and paid no
more attention but we receved 1a
letter stating that the law had
started proceedings. We even ig—
nored that and lo and behold we
heard no more from them until we
received our small pictures back.
But We sure were blue until we saw
that piece in M. B. F. Mrs. M., Ste-
phenson, Mich.

ONDS are secured by closed ﬁrst mortgage on the lZ-story building

described below, and on the leasehold estate in the land. Location
is 152 feet on the east side of Griswold Street, between State Street‘and
Grand River Avenue, in the heart of downtown section of Detroit.

 

Building is to be 12 stories and basement, of steel construction. The ﬁrst , ;
ﬂoor w1ll house 8 stores; the second and third ﬂoors will contain ahope I
and ofﬁces; the nine upper ﬂoors are for ofﬁces.

The total security is $2,448,000, making the bond issue less than 56%
of the security. The borrower is the Griswold Building Company
of Detroit. This Company 15 owned and controlled by William A. Com-
atock and Clark C. Hyatt, prominent citizens of Detroit and extensiva
owners and operators of Detroit real estate.

Based on income obtained from similar buildings in similar locations, not
annual income after deductions for taxes, ground rental, insurance and all
other operating costs, including an allowance for vacancies, in estimated
at $217,900. This is more than two and one-halftimes the greatest annual
interest charge and leaves a surplus amply suﬂicient to meet principal ro-
tIrement payments.

The strategic location of this building, the character of the men who are .
responsible for its erection and the fact that the entire issue is less than
56% of a very conservative valuation, make these bonds an oﬂering of
remarkable attractiveness to investors.

(Continued from March 3111 issue)

“ ORST time is over now,” predicted
Mort. “Won’t be so many losses
from now on. The later grass is

coming on, and it’s sweeter and more

tenderer than the larkspur. They’ll quit
eating it now. You see, a cow has to eat

a big bunch of that stuff in a pretty short

time to kill them. A few mouthfuls now

and then don’t hurt them."

“Well,” said Terry, "let's get back
home and break the news. Dad will
about faint when he hears it. It’s up to

the grain crop now whether we stay on
the Bar Z Bar or not.”

At the forest gate they met two horse-
men riding up—Spence Lossing, foreman
for the Bar Slash Bar, and the Texan,
Chal Messer.

"Hello.”-said Spence; then addressed
Doug. "Thought you were coming up.”

“Been too busy,” said Doug.

“Come along with us now," urged
Spence. “We run in a bunch of broncs
this morning and there’s some of them
will be pretty cagey. Come on up and
we’ll have some fun."

Doug hesitated. "Guess there’s not
much to do at the ranch,” he prevari-
cated. “Can you get along, Terry?"

“Sure," said Terry, over his'shoulder.
"Go ahead."

Doug turned his horse and rode on up
the trail between Lossing and Messer.

Mort twisted in his saddle and said to
Terry: “Wish Doug would stay away
from that bunch. Nothing delights them
half so much as to get a fellow half drunk
and then stick him on a bad horse."

“Doug don’t drink,” said Terry.

"You don’t know whether he does or
not," retorted Mort. “He’s never had
much chance. Over’t the fair last fall I
saw him one day when his legs simply
wouldn't behave a-tall."

"Doug’s no fool," reiterated Terry. "I
guess he can look out'for himself. Be-
sides, those Texas people are up there,
and Spence won’t try to pull anything
raw while they’re there."

“Not a bigger devil in the hill than
that young Sid," declared Mort. “He
comes up here every summer just to spree
around. He’ll be hand in glove with
Spence in anything like that.”

“Well," said Terry, a. bit wearily, "what
would you have me do? I talked with
Doug. but you know about how much in-
ﬂuence I had with him, don’t you?"

“Just as well talk to a dehorned bull,"
nodded Mort, “can’t do a thing with
him.”

"We’ll not tell the folks where he’s
gone," said Terry; “no need of that."

“No," said Mort, “we’ve got enough to
tell them anyhow."

Mary met them at the corral.

“Where’s Doug?" she asked.

Mort looked at Mary quizzically. First
interest she had shown in Doug since
they quarreled. How could she sense

“We got separated from him,” Mort

Stutgart's summer camp served a dim]
purpose, primarily as a summer resort
and secondarily as a line camp for his
punchers and drift fence riders. The
puncher quarters were part of the main
cabin, an elaborate affair and no separate
mess house was provided for them. Ev-
erybody ate at the same table: Their
democratic method of living was due, no
doubt, to the fact that Stutgart himself
did not have so far back to look to view
the time when he himself was a puncher.
Stutgart, himself. seldom visited the camp,
but it was used regularly by his son,
daughter, wife and friends to empe from
the hot Texas summers.

"Summers.” Spence Leasing was say-
ing, “you want to make yourself at home
with this outfit. Just forget that Sid's
old man has stacks of money and treat
all of them just like you would anyone
else. Up here, they’re as common as dirt.
or course, it would be a little different
down where you live."

‘Don’t worry about me,” Doug told
him. “I can make myself at home with
any crowd."

‘I was just telling you,” said Lossing.
”so’s you wouldn’t get any false notions.
This ain’t a high-hat party."

“You fellows have it pretty soft up
here, don’t you?” said Doug. "With a
boss like Stutgart I don’t imagine you
have such a hard time of it."

Lossing grinned knowingly.

"That comes," he said, "by knowing
how to pick your boss. We ain’t exactly
worked to death up here, are 'we Chal?”

They passed a dead cow. Doug noticed
it were a Bar Z Bar brand.

“Losing any cattle?” he asked, care-
lessly.

“Plenty,” Lossing assured him. “Worst
I ever saw it up here. But why should
we worry if the boss does not?
plenty of money. A dead steer or two,
more or less, does not mean any more to
him than a dead ﬂy.”

“It’s hit us pretty hard," said Doug
seriously. “Looks like it would clean us
out.”

“Forget it,” advised Lossing brusquely.
"You’ll never know anything about it a
year from now." He slashed with his
rope at a. white-faced steer that moved
tardily off the trail.

Doug glanced at the fresh brand on
its left ribs. It wore the strange brand
he had noticed before.

“Whose brand is that?" he asked.

‘That’s one of our brands,” Losslng
assured him. '

“Yours l" exclaimed Doug. “I thought
you people used the Bar Slash Bar.”

“We do. But not altogether. We’ve
got half a dozen. Bar Slash Bar is the
main brand but lots of this stuff carry
the Bar Box X Bar."

“And backward and forward. too, you
might =-suy,‘”_ said Messer. f “There's a
brand thatpno matter how a steer oncow
lays, layin’ down or standin' up,'or stand-
in’ .on its head, she reads the same."

It was, perhaps, an hour’s ride ‘to the
camp. Doug learned that there were six
inhabitants of the camp at present, Loss-
ing and his helper, Messer, young .Stut-
gart. his mother and sister, Fay, and Kit
.Chaloner, the cook. Doug was Well ac-

quainted with. Kit, 9. garralous old fellow
but a rattling good cook.

“Hello,” said Sid, "If it ain't the wreck-
er—I mean the rider, himself.”

“Guess you’ll remember me in the ﬁrst
capacity longer," said Doug easily, grin-
ning. "Altho I don’t believe you can
hardly blame us for that.”

“No one to blame but Sid," his sister
put in quickly. “You mustn’t pay any
attention to him.” She was, Doug noticed,
an unusually pretty girl.

Sid grinned at her.

“Still championing the cause,” he mur-
mured. ‘ ‘

She ﬂushed.

"Summers,” Sid continued, “this girl
has been dying to see you ride."

“’Fraid She won’t see much of an ex—
hibition,” declared Doug. “I’m what is
commonly called a green rider."

“No begging off,” said Sid. "Spence
has been promising to bring you up to
ride a little thing that has had it all his
own way all season. He’s getting plump
stuck up about it."

Kit stuck his bald head in the door and
looked around owlishly. He scanned the
interior as tho in search of something in
hiding.

“Supper," he said, and withdrew his
head.

“Kit,” said Sid, laughing, "believes in
dramatic suspense. I never know, when
he pokes his head in like that, whether
he is going to announce supper or drop
dead."

It was too late for any riding after the
meal. The men, with the exception of
Kit, who kept his kitchen, retired to the
punchers’ quarters and pressed Doug into
a game of black jack. Doug had been
brought up with an inherent abhorrence
of cards, but in this case, where he was
actually needed, as they pointed out, to
ﬁll out the table of four, he cast aside
his scru-ples. As the game progressed,
Spence, grinning slyly, winked at young
Stutgart.

“Forget something ain't you?” he said.

Stutgart arose hastily.

“Nearly," he said. ”Be back in a min-
lite."

He came back presently carrying a
wicker enclosed demigohn.

Lossing dug up a. double brace of glass-
es from some mysterious source and
smacked his lips. Stutgart ﬁlled the
glasses. Lossing tossed his off, wiped his
lips and sighed.

”A few shots of that," he said "and
the hereafter don’t bother me a-tall. Put
it away, Summers. That came all the
way from Texas. A few horns of that and
you could ride Catapult without even a
surcingle."

Doug drank the ﬁery liquid, not from
inclination, but because he felt he must
not act the moliycoddle. It almost stran-
gled him, but he restrained an urgent de-
sire to cough and placed his glass incon-
Veniently for a. second ﬁlling.

When the game broke up an hour or so
later, the room was whirling at a fright-
ful rate and the ﬂoor was waving like the
undulations in the ocean. Lossing was
grinning foolishly and Stutgart had his
head in his hands. Messer jerked out a
gigantic forty-ﬁve and began pumping
shots in the ceiling. At the third shot,
the concussion put out .the light and they
tumbled into the beds haphazardly.

Doug was accustomed to awaking early
—-with the light. The late hour they had
kept was not sufﬁciently to break this
habit. He awoke at daybreak and sat up
in bed. Slashes of pain shot thru his
head, and such a taste he had in his
month he never knew existed.

Beside him, Lossing snared open—mouth—
ed; across his feet, face down, his face
buried in the bed cover, sprawled Messer.
Doug wondered that he did not smother.
Stutgart was sprawled on the second bed,
snoring, but not with the grossness with
which Lossing was rendering the air.

Leaving them to their slumber, Doug
struggled to his feet and found his hat—-
all that needed to complete his attire.
Out side the keen, wholesome air, pine-
scented, smote like a stimulant.

The camp was erected on the upper
reaches of the forks, and Doug had to
walk only a rod or two to reach the
stream. He stretched flat and plunged
his head into the icy, speeding waters
and held it there for a time. When he
withdrew it, all the fog and most of the
ache was gone. He dried his face and
hair with a. bandana. and went around
past the barn, where the corral, a sizable,
twelve-pole» structure. circular in shape,
was erected. '

There was a number of horses inside,‘
and Doug climbed up on the top pole of
the corral and\ perched himself to look
them over. The sun was not up yet. but

GARDEN NOTES
HE growing of plants for north-
ern shipment has 'recently de-
veloped into a very extensive en-
terprise especially in Georgia; and the
Carolinas. '

There is no reason why this pro-
ject can not be developed into an
industry which will prove of mutual
beneﬁt to the southern plant growers
as well as the northern grower who
has no facilities for starting early
plants to set in the ﬁeld. The plants
can be grown in the south under
open ﬁeld conditions at low cost
and the fact that they are grown
under conditions of, temperature
tending to grow well hardened plants
is a strong point ‘in their favor, and
adapts them to early spring setting
in the north.

However, large numbers of north-
ern gardeners have been sorely dis-
appointed with results attained from
these plants. Like any new industry
of promise it has been and is still
attended with its unscrupulous ele-
ment of individuals who strive to
make a clean-up while competition is
not great and they will stop at noth—
ing to gain their end. On the other
hand many growers have had excel-
lent results. So it seems advisable
to investigate the reputation of a
grower before placing an order.

The reputable plant growers are
working under considerable handi-
cap due to these outlaw plant grow—
ers who pay no heed to the variety
or quality of the plants sent out.

Many cases have recently come to
my attention where the northern

gardener ordered a certain variety
only to ﬁnd at harvest time, that he
had received an "entirely different
variety. ‘ 7
Time alone will eliminate this
unscrupulous competition .but in the
meantime those intrusted in pur—
chasing southern grown -plants can
well afford to spend a little timerand
trouble to see that his order is placed
with a reliableplant groWer. ‘ 7
Taken as a whole. these plants
which are merely rooted-seedlings
can not be expected to give as good
results asrplants which have been
transplanted once or twice before
ﬁeld setting as the latter always have
a superior root development, and
are better equipped to' stand the
shock of a. ﬁeld setting. ,- '
However, for the average general
farmer who is not equipped or does
not care to spend the time and trou—
ble to grow plants for his own use
these southern plants ﬁll a deﬁnite
demand and usually give fairly good
results. When good strong trans-,-
planted plants can be purchased lav
cally at a fair price they are much
to be preferred, but it should be re-
membered that plants grown locally
under glass and usually trans-
planted will cost more than the
southern product but in .most cases
they are worth the extra cost.

A RADIO CONTROLLED AUTOMO-
BILE

NE of the most interesting ex—
hibits on display at the Electri-
cal Show held at Michigan State

College during Farmers’ Week was a
model radio controlled automobile
constructed by W. H. Bliss, a senior
in the Electrical Engineering course.

The photograph shows the princi-
pal parts of the car. Signals are re-
ceived on the loop antenna and am-
pliﬁed by the superheterodyne re-
ceiver seen directly over the rear
wheels. Instead of a loudspeaker,,
the receiving set operates a sensitive
relay which in turn operates a. “se-
lector” switch of the type used in a
dial telephone exchange. This switch
selects one of several control relays
depending upon the number of sig-
nals received. Under the frame of

the car may be seen one end of. the
driving motor and attached to the
side of the frame are the start, stop,

  

"‘Ihow’durl'ni’ “midi
' the

 

 

   

 

ammonia-sum 'Oollogo had many my orie-
m “ for mans-ourmpmss'f :

   

and reverse relays which control the
motor. Another motor and relay
make it possible for the operator to
steer the car and blow the horn.
Power for the drive and steering mo—
tors comes from the 12 volt storage
battery in the middle of the car. The
48 volt storage battery over the front
wheels furnishes power for the con-

. trol relays.

On the pedestal in the background
is the 10 watt transmitting set which
controls the car. The signals are
transmitted by dialing numbers on
an ordinary telephone dial which may
be seen lying against the base of the:
pedestal. .

This model clearly demonstrates
the possibilities of. radio control of
motorvehicles, boats, or airplanes.
Such control may ﬁnd a practical ap-
plication in military operations, in
steering boats and airplanes in fogs,
and in providing a safety stop feat—
ure tor trains.

I suppose most of the farmers
have a sort of dislike for that word
hospital which I mentioned in the
last paragraph. Well I am here- to
tell you it is a mighty ﬁne place to
We
have in Shiawassee county, a com—
munity hospital which is supported
in part by the county. It is operated
on a. non-proﬁt plan and every resi-
dent in the county is eligible to se—
cure the best of treatment at a very
nominal cost. We are very proud of
the Memorial Hospital in Shiawassee
county, and it is my hope that in
time‘every county will have such a

secure specialized aid and treatment
in time of'sickness, near his home, at
a nominal cost. If I were to add
some other needs of the farmer as a
community aid, I should put ﬁrst in

school which would offer the same
caliber of training and education of-
fered by the city school.

Inoculating Alfalfa Seed

I remember receiving a letter
while I‘was in the hospital asking
for the best method of inoculating
alfalfa seed. I think one of the
nurses lost the letter, but as the
question is a very good one and the
information is valuable to a large,
number of farmers who read TIIL
BUSINESS FARMER I’ll endeavor to
answer the question in this depart—
ment, and trust to luck that the
party who is cussing me for my neg-
ligence will read this issue.

There are several methods of in-
oculation which may be_used by the
farmer. The two most practical
ones in use at this time are the soil
method'and the pure culture method.
The soil method is the older one and
consists of inoculating a ﬁeld by sim-
ply taking some of the top soil of
another ﬁeld which contains the nec—
essary bacteria and scattering it
over the ﬁeld which is to be in-
oculated.

The soil is taken from a ﬁeld
which has proven to be inoculated
by the grOWing cf the certain legume
successfully on that ﬁeld.

Several bushels of soil are scat—
tered over the new ﬁeld per acre, and
dragged in. This is a rather crude
method and takes more labor and
time than the newer pure culture

of inoCulat-iiig the seed before it is a

m. 7"“?S is done with a. culture“

Inpany or from the Mich-

apOlogy and at'
time 1

good reason for

of time and certain precautions must
be observed in using them. The cul-
ture which comes in a small bottle
should ﬁrst be broken up by strik—.
ing' the bottle against the palm of
the hand, or by using a wire or stick.
Shake the contents into a quantity

'of water and mix thoroughly, rinsing

out the bottle with the water. The
amount of water used should be
enough to moisten the seed, varying
of course with the size and nature of
the seed. A pint to a quart of water
is usually enough. ,Sprinkle thor-
oughly the water in which the cul—
ture has been dissolved over the seed.
If the seed is too moist to sow allow
it to dry in a shady place. The cul—
ture should not be heated and the
seed should be thoroughly mixed be-
for sowing. Cultures may be ob-
tained from the bacteriological de-
partment of the Michigan State Col-
lege for 250. . One culture is enough
to treat one bushel of seed.

From a bulletin describing inocu—
lation edited by the Extension Di-

m to' inoculate legumes,

especially alfalfa, soy beans, sweet

clover, cow peas and vetch.

2. Successful inoculation where
needed means bigger crops and more
fertile Soil.

3. When in doubt inoculate. Al-
ways inoculate alfalfa, soy beans,
and vetch when grown on a new ﬁeld

_ or if considerable time has elapsed

since the same crop has been on the
ﬁeld.

4. Practical methods are by pure
culture and the soil method.

5. The pure culture method is
easy, convenient and practical.

6. Estimate thegsuccess with arti-
ﬁcial inoculation by the presence and
abundance of nodules.

Minnesota Seed Corn

I am in receipt of a letter from'a
farmer residing at Linwood, Michi-
gan, who wishes to know if it would
be advisable to buy his seed corn
from Fariboul, Minnesota. It is the
old question of adapted seeds again,
and the rule to follow in such a case
is to plant only those seeds adapted
to your own localty or region. This
seed corn from Minnesota may grow
all right in Michigan and it. may
not. I haven’t taken the time to
look up the weather reports of the
territory near Fariboult, Minnesota,

FROSTING LOWERS QUALITY OF
HAY

ROSTED alfalfa hay is of low
F quality and poor feeding value

because of the large leaf loss
sustained either in mowing, stacking
or moving hay to feed racks. Those
feeders who chop such hay will ﬁnd
that the leaves shatter badly.

Motto: D0 YOUR. BEST

Colors: BLUE AND GOLD

EAR BOYS AND GIRLS: I have
a lot to say this time and not
space in which to say it. I want
to announce the winners of our
latest contest and start a new one
all within as short a space as I' can
because Our Page is rather crowded.

First, the winners of our “Read
and Win" contest are: 1st, Christine
Zech, Algonac, won a beautiful pair
of ship book ends; 2nd, Clothllda
Jacobs, R. 2, Bay City, got a lovely
dresser set of comb, tray and powder
or hair box; 3rd, Willis J. Ecker,
Clarion, won a fancy pencil box con-
taining several pencils; 4th, Anton
J. Brassinger, Jr., won a skating or
hockey cap.

The answers to the questions
were: Case tractor; J. C. Penney
00.; S. M. Isbell & 00.; Dr. DeLaval;
Major Phillips; Paul C. Clement;
Armour Fertilizer Works; daugh-
ters of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Welker,
of Jackson county; Legislature
meets in 1929; made record by feed-
ing linseed meal in ration; and
Goodyear. How many did you get
right?

Second, the new contest. To com-
pete in this one you will again have
to read the advertisements because
I am going to quote six sentences
from ads in this issue and the ﬁrst
four to ﬁnd them and get their let-
ters to me will be awarded as there
will be four prizes—“Mystery Priz-
es.” Here are the sentences:

1. “Can be used on cut or sprout-
ed seed without the slightest injury.”

2. “Without fertilizer he grew
12 bushels per acre.”

3. “Her son decides to investigate
and quietly pulls the cloth off the
bowl.”

4. “Made by America’s best mills.”

5. “In no other way can you ob-
tain such outstanding value.”

6. “This has been our method for
56 years.” ‘

Now, ﬁnd the ads in which these
sentences appear and then write me
a letter telling the names of the ad-

'vertisers and the pages on which

they appear. The ﬁrst tour to reach

me that are correct will receive priz-v

es.-———UNCLE . NED.

HESE are the ﬁrst boys in Mich-
igan to be registered as Lone

' Scouts through the joint efforts
of THE MlCIIIGAN BUSINESS FARMER
and Macomb Council, Boy Scouts of

 

Mount Clemens, where this paper is
published.

Who will be the next boys to take
advantage of this method of having
the same beneﬁts of Scouting as those
enjoyed by boys in the cities and
towns? These nine boys range in
age from 13 to 19 and their homes
scattered from the southern part of
the state to the northern peninsula.

The next step is to organize “Mich-
igan Business Farmer Lone Scout
Tribe.” This tribe has its ofﬁcers
who are elected by the members
every year and will keep its members
in touch with each other through
“round robin” letters. The “Guide”
at Mount Clemens will start the chain

In this way“ every member of the

Now, the ﬁrst thing we must do
to have a tribe is to elect ofﬁcers.

are: Chief, Sachem, Scribe, and

elected from among the boys. The

It is not too late to become a chart-

in your applicatioin and your fee of
50 cents within two weeks after the
publication date of this issue, you
will be registered as a charter mem-

THERE is nothing. whichjmoreclearly reﬂects Fisher quality. than the fact
that genuine, selected, polished plate glass is used in all closed Bodies by
Fisher.——You will quickly realize the higher quality of Fisher bodies if you
compare the richness and :clearness of the plate glass used, with the lesser at’
tractiveness of “crystal plate”—which is not plate glass at all.———The plate glass
used in Fisher Bodies differs from common glass in that it is thoroughly
ground and polished on both sides, providing clear, true vision. It is, of
course, far more ex;
pensive. “Crystal” glass
sometimes distorts the
vision. To the eyes
which look through it,
objects appear distorted,
taking on a wavy or mis’
shapen appearance. Dis:
tortion of this kind is unr
pleasant, and sometimes
dangerous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The glass used in Fisher windows and Windshields is
manufactured by the National Plate ,Glass Company, 3.
Fisher unit, one of the world ’s largest producers of gen'
uineplate glass. Its main factory is amid the white silica
sands in Ottawa, Illinois. Silica sand is the chief ingre'
dient of plate glass.—— All edges are ground and polished
with special machinery to eliminate all roughness.

GARDEN SCAMP , .-

LL but two of the players form a
circle which is the garden. Within
this theone- who is the scamp takes
his place,.', the one »who represents the
gardener remains on the outside. The
gardener says to the scampinside, “Who
let 'you into my garden?” The scamp
answers, "I let myself into your garden."
The scamp then‘must dodge in and out
’ through the circle with 'the gardener fol-
lowing through every place the scamp
goes, not being permitted to go through
any .other place. When the scamp is
caught he becomes gardener and chooses
another player from the circle to be the
scamp. The scamp may do anything that
he pleases, jump over the clasped hands,
play leapfrog with one of the players, or
anything that he thinks of to keep the
gardener from catching him.

IN LIEU OF BATHROOM

HERE was no bathroom in the
T old farm house and no immedi-

ate possibility of having one.
But the fact that toilet arrangements
had to be maintained in each bed-
room added greatly to the care of
these rooms, and both mother and
children longed for the time when
they could have a "sure-enough"
bathroom.

Over the kitchen was a email cozy
bedroom that seemed most suited for
the purpose. “Why not start a bath-
room right now, even if we cannot
have everything for it?" someone
suggested.

Mother proposed a “family” wash-
stand in this room instead of individ-
ual ones in each bedroom. Father
said he could easily connect an up-
stairs “drain” to the one operating
in the kitchen so that wash water
need not be carried downstairs in a
bucket. A pipe was brought through
the wall from the upstairs water
tank which was connected with the
cave-troughs on the roof.

A small oil stove and a large tea—
kettle make it possible to heat water
right in the room . A large galvan-
ized laundry tub functions as bath
tub.

Of course this is very primitive.
But it is also wonderfully convenient
and comfortable. All the “splash-
ing” is done in one place and the
work of caring for the bedrooms is
greatly reduced. Linoleum has been
placed on the ﬂoor and pretty paper
and curtains make the room neat and
attractive. Meanwhile the family
do not find it nearly so hard to wait
for the really-truly bathroom.—
Dairymen’s League News.

ORGANIZING A COMMUNITY CLUB

0U will remember that in the

last issue I asked you to be

thinking about a community
club. for your neighborhood. Well,
. now I am going to assume that you
have turned the matter well over in
your mind, talked about the prospect
with some of your friends, and de-
cided that it would be “nice to try
anyhow.”

What is the ﬁrst thing to do to
organize such a club? Get in touch
with all the women of your commun-
ity that you can, by telephone, mail,
or personal call, and ask them to be
‘at a certain .place‘ at a certain time
on a certain day. It might be well to
have‘ something in the way of social
entertainment planned beforehand by
way of a. special and immediate in-
ducement. Delegate yourself or some
other capable woman as a temporary
chairman to take charge of the gath-
ering and steer the discussion ﬁrth

roadhouse. ”
doyouthinkofmodernyonth”

I replied that in my estimation whether it was wrong depended
upon the cimnmstanccs. First and most important is the make-up
of the young men and women themselves, and closely linked with
this is the kind of amusement they seek there.

If I had conﬁdence in my\son and daughter. if .I knew that my
teachings had sunk home, I would not be greatly concerned about their
“frequenting roadhouses”, when this probably does not mean more
than once or twice a week, if I also were reasonably certain that the
P rest of their group was on the whole a good lot of boys and girls.
All roedhonsee are by no means “dens of sin”; quite a few of them

are fairly respectable places of entertainment.

like to dance scrapie against public dance halls bemuse of the class
of people they are forced to rub shoulders with at these places. They
claim that it is much. more pleasant at a roadhouse, because they are
. not so crowded. because one can sit counfortably at a table when not
dancing, and because each party enjoys a semi-privacy which means that
it can turn its back upon the undesirable elements, which are more
or less always present wherever one goes.
0ntheotherhand,if1weredoubtfnlnboutthenatureoftheamuse-
meat in which my children were indulging, I would ﬁnd means to
substantiate my opinion before I took any steps. In no case would

I make any accusations; that makes young folks stubborn and only

serves to drive them further in the wrong direction. But I would

very quietly set about ﬁnding other, more wholesome forms of enter-
tainment ﬂor them. Very often the reason that boys and girls “fre-
quentroadhouses"andotherplacesinsearchofagoodtimeisthat
very little if any pleasure is provided for them within their own homes.
I would encourage them to bring their friends home and permit them
to have occasional parties. Family “sings” around the organ or
piano and games after supper go a long way toward promoting a family
feeling, and good magazines, n victrola, or a radio help a great deal
in keeping the young folks interested in home.

If we want to keep our boys and girls away from harmful entertain;
ment, we must provide something good in its place. Young folks must

 

have their good times, and
it is up to the older folk to
help determine the mture
of these. '

The principal thing to accomp-
lish at this first meeting is to inter-
est the women in the community
club idea, pointing out to them ﬁrst
how they will personally beneﬁt by
the contact with each other, and then
indicating the good that can be
brought about in the community by
such an organization.

It might be well to postpone the
election of ofﬁcers until the follow-
ing meeting of the club, so that the
women may have the opportunity to

requests for the following songs and hope
that some of you folks can supply me
with these: “Where 'Do You Work-A
John?":, “When the Red Red Robbin

, Comes Bob. Bob, Bobbin' Along"; "I’m

Looking Over, A Four Leaf Clover”; “On

Sweet": “Bye Bye Blackbird"; “I Love
a Lassie": “Lucky Lindy"; “Answer to
The. Prisoner's Song”; "The Run Away
Train”; f‘I Love to Call You My Sweet-
heart”; “The Broken Engagement"; ‘The
Old Rocking Chair."

In sending these songs to me I will be
pleased to take care of any requests'that
you have. Also I will be pleased to receive
any of your favorite songs—Mrs. Annie
Taylor.

Make Corn Pop.—What can you do to

to 'popcorn to make it pop. if it won’t?—
Mrs. R. L. M.
——Set corn that will not pop in a cold
place and let it get thoroughly chilled. If
it will not pop then, it never will. and
about the only thing it is good for is feed
for the pig's.

 

Poem Wanted—Can you get. through
your paper the poem entitled, “When I
Was Young"? It starts like this, “When
I was young, young gals were meek, and
looked 'round kind of shy, and when they
were compelled to speak they did so mod-
estly."e—C. E. H. .-

Keeping Meat. ——1 have read in the M.
B. F. about keeping meat from souring
and I an goingto give you my way of
keeping it.

When we ﬁrst butcher we cut the meat
up while warm and salt it right- away
but do not put any water on it. We wt
it: up and put it in a barrel. Then put
dry salt on every layer until we get it
all, in and then cover with salt and it
will make it’s own brine and will keep
for years. If you want it smoked, smoke
the barrel before putting the meat in. I!
you want it sugar cured put one cup of-
sugar to 10 cups of salt—A Reader. Pull-
man. Mich.

 

Increase WeightF-Is there any food or
remedy I could take to have more blood.
I am cold all of the time especially my
hands and feet. I am 5 feet 5 inches tall
and yeigh 110 lbs. I like to be a little
heavier than what I am. I am 88 years
old and have two children—Mrs. 0.. Ham-
ilton. Mich.

-—It is very probable that your weight
can be increased and your blood color in-
dex improved by the proper kind of food
and diet. There are other things to take
into consideration before such a diet can
be prescribed. It would be necessary for
you to have an examination by a good’
physician to determine whether there is
a reason for your not gaining weight and
if so, that cause should be removed. Our

"rice to you would—be to consult a good
physician—Guy L. Kiefer, M. D., State
Commissioner of Health.

Please meet me tonight all alone,
For I have a sad story to tell you,
It's a story that’s never been told.

I'll be carried to the new 'jail tomorrow,
Leaving my poor darling alone,'

With the cold prison-bars all around me,
And my head on a pillow of stone.

Now I have a brave ship on the ocean,
Al‘l mounted with silver and gold;
And before my poor darling should suffer,
Oh, that ship should be anchored and
sold.

Now if I had wings like an angel,
Over these prison—walls I would fly,
And I’d ﬂy to the arms of my poor darl-

ing.
And there I’d be willing to die.

 

 

What To Eat

 

 

Recently a woman asked me, “What
can I use as a substitute for milk?”
There is no known substitute for milk in
the diet. It is one of the most important
foods, in spite of the fact that it is about
sev —eighths water. Milk, instead of
p.23, should be called “the staff of life.”
If you do not like to drink plain milk,
there are many appetizing ways of work-
ing this food requirement into the diet.
Here are a few.

Cream Soup.——Thin white sauce is the
basis of any cream soup. Measure 1
level tablespoonful of ﬂour and the same
amount of butter to each cup of milk,
season with salt and pepper. Melt the
butter, add the ﬂour and stir until smooth:
slowly pour in the milk and stir constanh
ly until the sauce boils. Although most
vegetables may be used for cream soup,
the highly ﬂavored ones are more desir-
able, such as tomatoes, onions, celery,
spinach, asparagus, and peas. One cup of
cooked vegetable pulp to two or three
cups of white sauce is the usual propor-
tion. A slice of onion and a bit of bak-
ing soda is added to the tomato pulp
While cooking, and a slice of onion also
adds to the ﬂavor of cream of celery

' soup. Rub the vegetables through a
strainer into the cooked white sauce.
Serve with crisp crackers or toast. A
generous portion of this is substantial
enough to constitute the main dish of the
meal.

Chowders.—Fish chowders are an appe-
tizing way of serving milk. The propor-
tions are 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of pota—
toes cut ﬁne, 1 pound of ﬁsh, and four
large crackers. Onions and fat from salt
pork are usually added for ﬂavor. Good
chowder can be made with less ﬁsh, if
desired.

Other dishes that resemble chowders
can be made by substituting for the fresh
ﬁsh small portions of salt codﬁsh or dried
beef. The so-called vegetable chowders

cornstarch in a. little cold milk, and hav-
ing heated the rest of the milk to boiling,
stir this in and boil three minutes, stir-
ring all the time. Remove from the stove,
and while still very hot put in the butter.
Set away until cold; beat the eggs very
light, the sugar and seasoning with them,
rand stir into the cornstach, beating
thoroughly to a smooth ctfstard.

Cafe an Lait.—1 pint very strong made
coffee—«fresh and hot. 1 pint boiling milk.
Pour coffee oﬁ.’ the grounds through a ﬁne
strainer into the table coffee pot. Add the
milk, and set the pot where it will keep
hot for ﬁve minutes before pouring it
out.

  
 
 
 

 

 

For the Movie Fan

 

 

London After llfidnight.—Thls is the
latest picture starring Lon Chaney that I
have seen and I think it is almost as good
as ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame," “The
Phantom of the Opera,” or any of his
other recent pictures. For a change Mr.
Chaney appears without one of his famous
disguises in a leading part in this picture,
but he does have a chance to show his
mastery of the art of makeup in a second
part as a hypnotist. It is a mystery tale
that keeps one guessing right up to the
very end. The plot centers around the
ﬁnding of the body of a man who is sup-
posed to have committed suicide. A gun
and a note stating that he took his own
life are found near the body. Foul play
is suspected but it takes the ofﬁcers [ﬁve
years to ﬁnally get their man, and he is
found through the aid of hypnotism.

‘7THE farmer’s biggest problem is
not only to maintain the fertile”

ity of his soil, but also to improve it. *‘

A good crop rotation which includes
winter grain crops and clover hay
will help any soil improvement pro,
gram. Yet—a rotation alone is not
always proﬁtable. This is due to the
fact that while the clover adds or'
ganic matter and nitrogen to the soil,
it takes out large quantities of other
plant food elements. Clover is a
‘potash’hungry" crop.

Experiment station results show
that a suitable fertilizer, containing
potash, applied in the fall to wheat,
will help the entire rotation by in'
creasing the yields of clover.

Increased yields of clover hay inv
crease the amount of feed on the
farm at very small cost, thus reduc'
ing feed bills. More hay per acre also
increases the amount of nitrogen and
organic matter returned to the soil,
thereby helping the other crops in
the rotation.

Fertilizer mixtures containing 4%
to 6% potash are recommended for
mineral soils, while on peat and muck
soils 10% to 32% is used with proﬁt.

Our Agricultural and Scientiﬁc
Bureau will be glad to help you with
your fertilizer problems without
charge or obligation. Communicate

Those who seem making a hopeless
ﬁght against asthma and bronchial cough
will be encouraged by a letter from Miss
Sara Ellis, Route 1, Delphi, Ind. She says:

“When a child, I had asthma, and seem-
ed to outgrow it, but 12 years ago it came
back and I have had the disease ever
smce. I tried serum treatments and every-
thing I could hear of, but the trouble per-
sisted. Last June I had ﬂu, and my asth-
ma became so severe I gave up hope. A
friend, reading about Nacor, asked me to
try it. Finally I did, and promptly had a
change for the better. In a. week I could
breathe freely, and soon my cough stop-
ped entirely. I have now gone through
the winter with no asthma, so I feel sure
I am at last entirely well.”

Hundreds of other sufferers from
asthma, bronchitis and chronic coughs
have written just such letters as the one
above, telling how their troubles left and
never returned. These letters will gladly
be sent you free by Nacor Medicine 00.,

Ll—Dl.‘

Hillsdale (N. W.).—Having regular
March weather; rain, snow, sunshine and
wind all the same day. Farmers buzzing
wood and overhauling tools, getting ready
for the spring work—C. ‘H., March 5.

E. Huron.—Cold wave, bare ground
some ice on ﬁelds. Good wheeling. Very
little doing :on farms. Wood scarce. 01d
fences and shade trees are being moved
from between ﬁelds and made into much
larger ﬁelds, and larger farms are being
planned. A few farms changing hands.
One 40 acre tract as an oil station, $75
per acre. Unusual good price. T. B. test
for cattle‘this coming year. Stock dealers
are not in very good hopes for the coming
season. Quotations from Bad Axe: Milk,
$2.00 net—E. RL, March 5.

Genesee.—Auction sales are billed for
nearly every day this month in this
county. Cattle are bringing high prices.
Poultry also. Has been cold and stormy
weather past few days. It is hard to tell
how many farms will be nontenanted this
year. Winter wheat that had been early
sown looks good. Later seeding varieties
from fair to poor. Quotations from Flint:
Wheat, $1.46; com, 950; oats, 570; rye,
98c; beans, $7.35; potatoes, $2.50.; butter,
48c; eggs, 33c.—H. S., March 6.

Kent.——Everybody busy butchering, saw-
ing wood and such like. Dairy feed pretty
expensive. Not much snow, only along
roads. Mild weather has started to green
up wheat in sheltered places. Reports
from New York state, mildest January
and February a 75-year—old resident near
Binghamton, N. Y., could remember. Not
much snow to even cover ground and only
a few cold nights. Michigan is just as
good as California or Florida, so why go
3,000 miles for fair weather. There are
still quite a. number of auctions—S. K.
W., March 5. ‘

Montcalm.——Pretty tame weather for

March. Hay selling for about $15 per
ton. Spuds selling at $1 and $1.10 per
bushel. Quite a number of auctions.

Number of people sick with the ﬂu. Clov-
er seed sells for about $18.00. Ice harvest
ﬁnished. Quotations at Staunton: Wheat,
$1.35; oats, 55c; rye $1.00; white beans,
$7.50; red beans, $8.25; potatoes; bushel,
$1; butter, 46c; eggs, 23c.———Mrs. C. T.,
March 5.

St. Joseph—Farmers buzzing wood
and getting tools and tractors ready for
spring work. Too cold alternated with
rainy spells for fertilizing or other work.
No epidemics among stock near here.
However, no proﬁt in hogs as they now
bring 7c live weight and corn in $1 per
bushel. The farmer says he might better
sell the corn and not raise hogs this year.
Quotations frm Sturgis: Wheat, $1.42;
corn, 90c; oats, 55c, rye, $1.07; potatoes,
$2.50; butter, 500; eggs, 23c.—C. H.,
March 5.

Saginaw.—We are having a cold and
windy spell. Not much doing only chores.
Having a few auctions and well attended;
things don’t go very fast or high. No
snow to speak of and a few are getting
their chicks. There will not be as many
this year as last. Hens have not layed as
good this winter as last. Too much soft
corn. Quotations from Hemlock: Wheat,
$1.41; corn, $1; oats, 600; rye, 900;
beans, $7.45; potatoes, $1.75; butter, 47c;
eggs, 260.—F. D., March 5.

St. Joseph—Wheat and young clover
seem to be suffering from the winter
weather. Farmers are getting the winter
work to one side so as to be ready for
spring work. Brooder houses will soon
be ﬁlled wih 1928 chicks.——A. J. Y., March
6.
Sanilac.—Farmers busy hauling manure
and buzzing wood. Ground bare. Hard
on wheat, these windy days with no cover.
Stock moving; three carloads or ﬁne beef
cattle shipped from Decker Saturday
which will bring shippers some real
money. Plenty of auctions, good prices
brought. Eggs being sought to ﬁ)‘ incu-
bators. Corn brings from $1 to 21.50
at sales. Horse buyers are busy; better
prices than for some years. Alfalfa and
sweet clover steadily gaining favor as
this is adairy section. Quotations from
Decker: Wheat, $1.36; corn, $1.00; oats,
57c; rye, $1.04; beans, $7.50; potatoes,
$1.05; butter, 550; eggs, 25c.-—A. C., McK.,
March 6.

IV. Lenawee.—March started out with a
roar. Windy and blustry. Side roads
mostly rough and rutty where not worked.
Spring politics beginning to appear. There
isgoing to be a change in most precincts.
Farmers hauling manure and getting
ready for, spring work. .Some moving.
Little grain moving, at high prices. Cad-

WIDE-BOTTOM PLOW GETS CORN
BORER

IDE-BOTTOM plows are better
VK’ than narrow—bottom plows

in clean plowing to control
the European corn borer. Standing
corn or long stubble are easier han-
dled by wide-bottom plows, for such
plows do not clog easily and they
cover the trash well since they turn
more soil than do narrow-bottoms.
Also, to do a good job, the adjust-
ments of the plow hitch and of the
coulter and jointer must not be bad-
ly worn, says the state college of
agricutlure at Ithaca, N. Y.

It is best to plow corn stubble so
that the furrow cut is one—half or
one-third of the width of the distance
between rows. The ﬁrst furrow
should be as close to the stubble row
as possible, then it is easier to turn
the stubble under with the next fur-
row.

A trash wire also helps. This us-
ually is about eight or ten feet of
number nine wire hitched to a con-
venient- point on the front of the
plow. Trash wires on gang plows
have been found to be'more effect—
ive than chains because they do not
clog so easily. When the free end
of the wire drags through the fur-
roy slice it has enough tension to
hold stubble and corn refuse do'wn

so than it will be covered completely '

by the furrow. Additional wires are
sometimes used to advantage, in the
same way, by attaching them to the
beam, clevis, and evener.

A chain is better than a wire on
walking plows. A half-inch or ﬁve-
eighths—inch log chain with one end
fastened to the plow beam and the
other to the furrow end of the evener
is commonly used. A chain has a.
better gathering effect than the, wire;
it also breaks over stubblebetter,
but it has “a greater tendency to clpg.

Single-bottom yplows, are better

than gang plows to cover, stalks and ,

stubble. v Embientsplé‘ﬁlhgj ”13,9. Lmehné:

A colored man took out a. marriage li-
cense. A few days later he went back
and asked the clerk to subsumte an-
other woman’s name for the one on the
license, as he had changed his mind. He
was told that he would have to buy an-
other lioense and that it would cost him
another $1.50.

The applicant was silent for e. few min-
utes. thing hard. Then he said with an
air of determination: "Never mind, boss.
this ,01‘ one will do. Thar ain’t $1.50 dit-
terence ’tween them two nohow.”

 

SEVENTEEN 110138 FOR MEALS

A countryman presented himself at the
clerk's desk in an American hotel, and,
after havingf‘a room assigned him, in-
quired at what hour meals were served.

"Breakfast from seven to eleven, lunch-
eon from eleven to three. dinner from
three to eight, supper from eight to
twelve,’ ’recited the clerk glibly.

“Jerushy,” ejaculated the country man,
with bulging eyes, "When am I going to
get to see the town?”

POSSIBLY

The city girl was visiting her Uncle’s
farm for the ﬁrst time and she was very
much interested in watching her uncle
milk a cow.

“Isn't that wonderful," she exclaimed,
and noticing a calf nearby she contin-
ued, "and I suppose you get cream from
that small cow.”

MUST HAVE BEEN COLD

He was telling his pretty friend what
a. great man he was and what wonderful
things he had done. “My life has been a.
most active one," he said. “I have sailed
the seas and hunted big game in the
wilds. I have had many adventures. Just
this last fall While I was in Canada. I
hunted bear. "

"My goodness!” exclaimed his compan-
ion, “but didn’t you get awfully cold?"

CENSOBED
The class was asked to write a 200~
word story about an automobile and one
boy turned in the following: “My uncle
bought a. used automobile. He was out

up a. hill.”

Below this appeared the following par-
agraph: “That is twenty words. My
uncle said the other 180 words as he was
walking back t otown, but I do not want
to repeat them."

'RMER demandfor the purebred
draft ,orse this spring reﬂects
the quality rather than quantity '
trend of the horse industry accord-
inglto Secretary Ellis McFarland of
the Percheron Society of America.
His Chicago office has received 700
inquiries from‘prospective buyers in
all sections of the country and is do-
ing 10. per cent more business than
was done last year. -

Of the 16 Michigan buyers on two
lists issued by the Percheron organ-
ization, a majority want well-
matched teams of mares for .farm
work and breeding purposes. Three
breeders are interested in securing
both mares and stallions. -It is esti-
mated that apprdximately 100 of the
high grade drafters are sought in
Michigan '_and 2,000 in the United
States and Canada.

Horse population in Michigan has
decreased 98,000 since 1923, a drop
of about 18 per cent. This is about
3 per cent more than the drop for
the United States. There are now
509 stallions, all purebrds, enrolled
with the registry board, and their
average age is a little over 11 years.
About three years ago this average
was 14 years so that young stallions
are evidently replacing the old ones
that are passing.

AMERICAN WOOL PRODUCERS
FACING GOOD FUTURE

1TH little prospect of further
cc expansion of wool production

in New Zealand, Australia,
and South Africa, there is “oppor—
tunity for American wool growers to
place their industry on the best ﬁ-
nancial basis in history,” according
to J. F. Walker, consulting specialist
of the Division of Cooperative Mar-
keting, United States. Department of
Agriculture, who has just completed
a year’s study of the wool industry
in many countries visited on a trip
around the world.

“Wool production in New Zealand,
Australia, and South Africa, already
has reached the saturation point, and
can not be further examined because;
of limiting climatic and geographic
factors,” Mr. Walker says. “Aus-
tralia now is carrying more sheep
than at any previous time except in
1891, the leading wool State in Aus-
tralia carrying 10,000,000 more
sheep than is conservatively estimat-
ed as safe. No further expansion
may be looked for there, except pos-
sibly in West'Australia.

“South Africa is carrying 35,000,-
000 head of sheep, which, according

NLESS one is experienced in the
handling of. wool he is apt to
overlook some of the more im-

portant factors which will insure
quality and hence a greater net price
for the product.

Benjamin F. Creech and E. L.
Shaw, livestock specialists of the ex-
tension division of West Virginia Un-
iversity have spent considerable time
studying the wool situation, its mar-
ket, its grades and prices so that they
are unusually well informed con-
cerning the wool problem of the
West Virginia farmer.

In order to obtain the most money
for the ﬂeece they believe that the
following fourteen points should be
followed insofar as one may be able:

,1. Ordinarily sheep should be
shorn between May 1st and 15th, or
just as early as the weather will per-
mit. (Fine wool sheep that are to be
exhibited should be shorn by Febru-
ary 1st and th 'utton breeds by
April 1st.)

2. It never pays to wash sheep
before’shearing. Sheep should never
be shorn when the wool is damp un-
less the ﬂeece is dried out thorough-
ly. before it is tied up.

_3. Tag the sheep and pick the
burrs out of the ﬂeece, if there be
any, before starting to shear. AlJ
ways shear in a clean, dry place.

4. In order to have the sheep
most comfortable while shearing do
net‘have them too full of feed.

6. While shearing hold the sheep
in such a poSition that the ﬂeece will
not be torn apart.

‘ . I. i \ \

 

‘ l

MORE DEMAND FOR Hensns- ,

 

to best agricultural authOrities there” A
is 5,000,000 ouer safe carrying ca— ,

pacity. There have been two years
of ;very bad ‘ climatic conditions in

‘o'ne' of the leading'sheep-producing

sections embracing about one-fourth
the total area ‘of SouthAfrica, with
no relief in sight. There are no
grounds to believe there will be
much further expansion of the sheep
industry in South Africa. .Produc-
tion in New Zealand ‘is‘ limited by
lack of space.” ‘ ‘

Mr. .Walker pointed «out that de-
spite this heavy increase in foreign
production, “world production. ap-
parently has not kept pace with con—
sumptive demand. Wool stocks today
are extremely low, with no apparent
surplus of 'Wool anywhere in the
world. Wool is being taken at the
sales as rapidly as it is offered.”

FOR PASTURE

I am going to seed about fourteen
acres to sweet clover for pasture this
spring. Would like to ask you what
kind of seed would be best and how
much per acre and what time should
I sow it?—R. P., Greenville, Mich.

OR pasture, I would suggest the
use of the ordinary biennial
strain of sweet clover. The or-

dinary strain is later in maturity
and produces more top groivth than
the dwarf strain. For this reason it
is considered, by many, to be super-
ior for pasture purposes.

From 12 to 15 pounds of seed per
acre is_sufficient and early spring
seedings usually give better results.
In case the seed bed is such that it
can be prepared early, I would sug—
gst that you seed with a small grain
crop. The seed bed should be well
ﬁrmed and the seed should be in—
oculated.

Sweet clover is quite sensitive to
soil acidity—C. R. Megee, Assoc.

' Prof. of Farm Crops, M. S. C.

 

USE FARM MANURES

ARM manures are regarded as
the basis for soil fertilization.
They should be returned to the

soil before there is any chance of
loss through careless handling or
poor storage. Farmers cannot aﬁord
to waste this farm by-product and
then purchase commercial fertilizers.
Farm manures should be supplement-
ed, however, with purchased mater—
ials in order to increase the supply
of fertilizer and balance up. any de-
ﬁciencies which these manures con-
tain.

How Wool Should Be Handled

6. A better job can be done by
the use of a machine shearer than by
hand shears. .

7. Avoid the second cutting of
the wool when shearing as this will
reduce the value of the clip several
cents per pound.

8. Tie the ﬂeece when removed
from the sheep with the inside out
using a good grade of paper wool
twine.

9. Never tie the tags in with the
ﬂeece unless they have been washed
and thoroughly dried. _

10. A wool tying box is very eas-
ily made and convenient to use.
Fleeces that are to be exhibited or
that you wish to present an attrac—
tive appearance should be put up
with the use of a wool tying box.

11. After the ﬂeeces have been
tied up neatly they should be packed
tightly in a clean wool sack which
has been turned inside out and thor—
oughly shaken. '

12. Sackall black, gray, dead,
merrin, and tag, wool separately.
Clean feed sacks will usually serve
this purpose. ,

13. After the Woo has been
sacked and the bags ell tied, it
should be stored in a clean, dry place
until marketed. -, .

14. It is recommended that the
wool be pooled and sold through
county and state cooperative wool
growers’ association. In this way

the grower will learn the market,

grades that he is producing and also
the grade sthat are bringing the
highest » prices per p0und.———Dairy-

SUCKS EGGS
I have a pm) that sucks eggs. I
would like to know it there is any
way to break her 0! the habit as I
Would like very much to keep her.
—-0. C., Isabella County.

ET an egg and break a very

smal hole in one end of it with

a pin and work a quantity of
cayenne pepper into it; have some
one hold the dog tightly for you and
then lay the egg In his mouth and
force his mouth shut and break the
egg and hold him for a few minutes;
sometimes this will do as they ﬁg-
ure that all other eggs will be hot;
you might give him a second treat-
ment if he needs it; it might do to
do this anyway to be sure that he
has the lesson learned well enough.

”FAST SOW FIFI‘EEN HOURS
I have a sb‘w thatiarrowed nine
pigs last spring. They grow ﬁne for
a while then, in spite at good feed,
became runts. On killing one today
I found worms, great long ones, in
the intestines and think that proba-
-bly was the trouble. The sow is
poor and stays that way. Do you
think she has worms? Can you tell
me what to give her?-———R. A., Stan-

dish, Michigan.

DO not think that your sow has
worms as few of them do, but if
you want to give her a dose of
worm remedy would suggest that

. as you told us in your letter of

' January 29.

We noticed some improvement in

, four days after feeding them. In

E o week they were all well but one

‘1 and that one is much better than

I it was, but Isn’t entirely well yet.
, We will keep up the feeding.

We 'want to thank you for your

, advice and for your promptness in

I replying to our letter. The Bani-

you fast her for 15 hours and then
give her a teaspoonful of Oil of chen-
, Opodium mixed with 4 ounces of cas-
‘ tor oil which should be mixed in a
small amount of light slop; feed
lightly a couple of days. You should
clean and disinfect the quarters
Where the sow farrows then take her
; and her pigs to a clean lot when the
pigs are a couple of weeks old.

SEVERAL QUESTIONS

I have nine little pigs, two months
‘ old, that tall over and act like they
had ﬁts when I feed them. We feed
:them about three gallons of milk
, three times a day, also boiled pota-
‘ toes. Are they getting enough milk?
What is the matter? I have a four
year old cow that was bred last
August and is with calf. She has
been in heat for last 4 or 5 weeks
steady. Veterinarian doesn’t know
. what to do for her. How much hay
should an idle horse eat? How
much hay will a milking cow eat a
day it she gets no other roughage?
——-G. F., Grant, Mich.

HE pigs are getting enough feed

but would suggest that you get

100 pounds of tankage and mix

15 pounds of bonemeal with it; then

mix 2 pounds of this into each feed

.that you are giving the pigs. For a

couple of weeks better give these

pigs 1/4. pint of cod liver oil in the
night and morning feed.

Your cow has nymphomania or
perisistent heat and if your veter—
inarian cannot do anything for her
better sell her as she will not likely
breed again.

An idle horse will eat from 15 to
20 pounds of hay daily.

A good milking cow will eat from
20 to 26 pounds of hay a day if she
gets no other roughage.

Gustaf De Laval, a swede do
scended from a Frenchman who
fought with Gustavus Adolphus in
“the seventeenth century, produced
the ﬁrst continuous— ﬂow milk separ-
star, which he put on the market in
this country in 1881. The hand sep-
arator was ﬁrst introduced in this
country in 1890, the year Dr. Bab-
cock invented and gave to the public
the Babcock test. Dr. C. W. Lar-
son, Director of National Dairy Coun-
cil, who knew Dr. De Laval, has writ-
ten an interesting account of the
progress of the dairy industry dur-
ing the past half century and from
it we quote:

“When it is realized that the
change from the gravity method of
obtaining cream for butter making
and other purposes to the continuous
separator resulted in the saving of
labor, a better quality of cream and
butter, a skim—milk superior for feed-
ing purposes and available for the
manufacture of by products, and a.
great saving of the butterfat that
Was lost in the skim-milk, the value
of this ingenious invention can
scarcely be overestimated.

“If all the cream that was used
in this country last year for making
butter alone had been separated by
the deep—setting system, which was
the best method known at the time
the centrifugal separtor was invent-
ed, more than 35 million dollars’
worth of butterfat would have been
left in the skim-milk. This does not
take into consideration the enormous
quantity of cream that was used as
cream and for making ice cream. By
this old method much more labor
would have been required in the
homes and in the factories, and the
present high quality of products
could not have been made.

Other Developments

“It is rather remarkable that at
the time of the coming of the centri-
fugal separator other inventions and
notable progress in dairying took
place. In the same year that Dr.
De Laval invented the continuous
ﬂow separatdr rennet extract for
cheese making was ﬁrst introduced
in this country. About the same
time Drs. Atwater and Armsby intro—
duced the Wolff standard for feeding
cows. This gave the approximate
amount of protein and digstible nu—

trients required for cows in milk..
The American Guernsey Cattle Club-

was organized about this time; the
Ayrshire Cattle Association about
two years before; the American Jer-
sey Cattle Club, which had been or-
ganized ten years before, was incor-
porated two years later; the Dutch
Cattle Breeders’ Association was or-
ganized about this time, but approxi-
mately six year later combined with
the Holstein Association ‘to form the
Holstein-Friesian Association of
America. For about ﬁfteen years
before the invention of the separator
creameries had been in operation
using a dash churn, some creameries
having a battery of them run by
steam power. The cream, however,
was separated by gravity. A few
trench silos had been built at the
time the separator was invented, but
it was not until two years later that
a wooden silo built above the ground
was used in this country. It was not
until 13 years later that Dr.‘ Bab-
cock of Wisconsin invented a simple
test for determining the quantity of
butterfat in milk and cream. These
two inventions, the continuous-ﬂow

separator and the'Babcock test, have"

inﬂuenced, more than any others, the
development of our dairy industry
and have put it on a sound business
basis.
The Coming Half Century

“The most important need in the
dairy industry during the next 50
years is to increase the efficiency of
the average cow. The studies of the
Bureau of Dairy Industry have
shoWn that the quantity of produc—
tion per cow is the most important
factor in economy of production.
On January 1, 1927_, there were in
this country 837 groups of about 25
farmers each in dairy herd improve-
ment associations. Since that time
the number has increased to about
900 associations. Each of these

groups. employ a. trained man to
'make the necessary tests and weigh-

ings every month in order to deter-
mine accurately the proﬁtablennss

111‘.th animal in each herd. .%t the

22,000,000 dairy cows in the

: records of these cows are available

, though there may not
blight. on them. . ~

  

 
 

for study and provide an excellent

basis from which the production situ-d
ation in the country and the possi-,
_ bilities and opportunities for im-

provement can be determined.

“The 360,000 cows in these asse-

clations during 1926' produced as
much milk 11.51.584.000 average cows

 

AN EARLY MODEL
This cream separator, a De Laval, is an

early model, built for hand operation

and known as the bevel gear type. Many

of our readers will probably recall hav.

ing seen or owned one. Some diﬂ’erenco

between this and the present day type,
isn't there?

and returned as much income over
cost of feed as 640,000 average cows.

“High~producing cows are eco-
nomical in the use of feed. A tabu-
lation of more than 100,000 individ-
ual cow records shows that cows
producing19,000 pounds of milk per
year did, not eat twice as much as
cows producing 4,500 pounds, which
is the average production of the cows
of the United States. Instead they
ate approximately 40 per cent more
in dollars’ worth of feed per cow to
produce twice as much milk and
butterfat. ”

 

LENAWEE DAIRYMEN TO
CONTINUE TEST
OTING to continue the testing as-
sociation after having completed
two years of this type of herd
improvement work, Lenawee county
dairymen laid the plans for further
development and improvement of
Lenawee County dairy cattle.
Willard Syers, tester for this as-
sociation during the past two years,
reported how the herds had produced
.during the past year and showed that
.a slight gain in butterfat produc-
tion had been made by the average
herd in the Lenawee D. H. I. associ-
ation. .
, J. B. Smith of Adrian was the
owner of the high herd'and high

was 498 pounds butterfat and 12,-
340 pounds milkagainst 409 pounds
butterfat in 1927..—A. C. B.

PARMA C. T. ’A. MEMBERS
PLEASED WITH WORK

IX years ago a. few dairymen met‘

at Parma, Michigan, and organ-
ized a. cow testing asSociation.
Fred Leonard was appointed to do
the testing work. This organization
is now closing its sixth year and Fred
Leonard can look back over six
years of successful testing activities.
The goal set at the start to have
the average of the 300 cows "planed
under test return at least $100. 00 or
more above the cost of feed has been
realized this year. Now; that this
goal has been reached, the dairymen
are fully aware of the further, preg-
ress that maybe madethrough con-
tinuing their testing Work.

liﬂLK GOATS

EAR EDITORz‘P-We note that in
the February 4th issue of THE
BUSINESS FARMER you used my

article on milk goats. ' We are very
sorry that you misquoted me as say-
ing that a California doe had 9. rec-
ord of “four hundred pounds” of
milk in a year. This of course was
a typographical error as it should
have read “four thousand pounds,"
but, due to the prevailing ignorance

good goats, we would like very much
to see these ﬁgures corrected.

W have recently looked upcthe rec-
ord and ﬁnd that this Toggenburg
doe Polly-Mac No. 1263 A. M. G. R.
A. actually produced 4350 pounds in
twelve months or an average of
six quarts daily for the entire year.
The present world’s record for milk
production by a goat is held by a
Saanen doe, “Panama Louise” of
California with a record of twenty
pounds and eleven ounces in twenty-
four hours.

Thank you for printing any arti-
cles on milk goats as we are sure
that you will receive letters from
many others who are interested in
these valuable “pure food producers."
——K. Olin, St. Joseph County.

SOURCE OF DOMESTIC
CALF SKINS

EATHER is a commodity most
essential to the people ,of the
United States yet very little is

said about it. Who knows that the
pelts of 125, 000, 000 animals are
used to make the 350, 000,000 pairs

of shoes sold annually in the
United States.

The so- -called “aristocrat" among
the leather- producing pelts is the

"calf skin, about 17 million being
consumed in the United States
each year in the production of.
dress shoes for both men and women.
The best skins come from animals
fed on milk, fatted, well matured and
developed. Under these conditions the
skin is properly nourished, develops
a ﬁne grain and becomes plump and
supple. It is the kind of skin that
the tanner seeks because it makes
the most enduring leather, is both
strong and ﬂexible, takes a ﬁne
ﬁnish and gives the best service in
shoes.

Of the 17 million calf skins con-
sumed 9% million are produced in
the United States, the remainder be-

‘ingimported; . The domestic supply,
it all consisted of ﬁrst—grade skins,
would be adequate for the produc-
tion of. uppers for nearly 50 mil-
lion pairs of shoes. But the calf
tanners ﬁnd that a. large part of
these skins is damaged by scratches,
cuts and faulty curing before they
reach the tannery. A nation-wide
campaign has been started to reduce
the loss» as much as possible, and
this article will be followed by
others directing attention to deﬁnite
and money—saving methods for im-
provement.

Calf skins come from one part of
the country and cattle hides from
another. Fully 80 per cent of the
calf skins come from dairy industry
in states east of the Mississippi Riv—
er, the predominating sources being
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In—
diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis—
consin. More than 80 per cent of
the cattle hides come from points
west of the Mississippi River, nota-
bly in the West Central and Moun-
tain sections. Since the cattle is in-
tended for beef, in general the ani-
mals are not slaughtered “in infancy”
but are carried forward to maturity.

LUMPS HINDER PLANT GROWTH

—CRUSH THEM

Lumps hinder plant growth. Roots,
which cannot penetrate them, must go
around. This loses time and energy
which results in small crop yield.

A Culti-Packer grinds these clods into
ﬁne mellow particles ready to supply
food to the plant.

" succeeding trial was worse than the

one beiore. I was able to cut and
thresh the seed from the straws all
right but there was so much moist
and green seed mixed together with

' the ripe that I could not separate.

Green Grain

Grain can be cut and stored much
greener than most people think. This
barley which I harvested for my
neighbor had some green oats in it.
He was advised not to cut but an-
swered, "Go ahead and cut.” He
stored all this 650 bushels of barley
in one bin. The grain heated but
very little, which surprised me very
much. This neighbor says that it is
not green grain that heats but wet
grain. I am inclined‘to believe that

be is right.

I was afraid to cut my barley so
When I did cut it it crinkled
so badly that I lost about 15 per
cent by cutting the heads oil and 1013-
ing them.

‘ Questions Asked

The most common questions asked
are: How are you going to pick up
down grains? What will you do in
a wet season? Where are we going
to get our bedding?

Down grain is no trouble at all.

I do not believe there will be any
more trouble with a combine in wet
weather than with a binder. Of
course last season was dry and time
will be needed to prove this.

The bedding problem has a num-
ber of solutions. These combines
are equipped to leave the threshed
straw either in a windrow or scat-
tered. When left in a windrorw it
can be gathered up with a hay
loader. I think that it Would be
better to scatter the thresh'ed straw
and mow the stubble than to rake
the straw into windrows and gather
it because the combines do not have
straw capacity enough to cut it real
low. Also more corn might be raised
and used the shredded stalks for
bedding. Many large farm: even
now use large quantities of baled
shavings from lumber mills.

When Is It Proﬁtable?

Some ask how many acre of grain'

should be harvested in order to make
it proﬁtable to purchase a combine.
Each purchaser is better qualiﬁed to
decide for himself. The Engineer-
i'ng Department or M. S. C. has made
checks of the costs of this method of
harvesting. They had a representa-
tive collecting costs data on every
machine in the State.

My 12- “year —old son and l harvest—
ed 15 acres ot barley and binned the
grain in 10' hours. We would
thresh a truck load of grain then
shut oh the motor and go to the
house and unload the grain.

With the type of machine that I
have the table can be removed easily.
The remainder can be stored in a
space where a. wagon with its ﬂat
rack and standards might be stored.
It took two men about two hours to
take the combine apart and store it
on the barn ﬂoor.

Twenty—foot gates and passage
ways will be necessary to accomodate
combines large enough to do any
great amount of custom trashing.

GARDEN NOTES
(Continued from Page 22)

these days, preferably in the morn—v

ing. 011 days where the straw must
be kept over the sash all day, the
temperature should be kept moder-
ately low. Qbservance of these rules
will reduce the tendencies of the
fungus disease called “damping off”
to become established. High temper-
atures and damp conditions in the
bed are congenial to this disease and
should be avoided.

Soil Preference of Vegetables
' Various crops show decided prefer-

ence to soils as regards acidity or‘

alkaline conditions. Those of our
readers who are having trouble in
raising certain vegetableswould do
well to have the soil tested as to its

acidity and let the following rules,
govern their plantings. The “soiltex” ‘

treatment as recommended by M. S.

C. may be used to determine the;

amount of lime required to edlnstl magma"; gmgh_ the m-

acidity.

Alkaline (sweet) soil: Asparagus,

school girls were found to be excel-

the sprayer an overhauling before
the season starts was given impor-
tance in aiding timeliness in spray-
ing A breakown in the midst of the
spraying season is far more serious
than a mere loss of time. It may
mean scabby apples. The general
plan of production was mentioned.
Shall a grower plan a maximum pro»
duction of low quality fruit and de-
pend on extra volume and lowest cost
to make a proﬁt? 0r shall he aim
at extra fancy fruit and depend on
extra price to offset lower volume
and higher cost? ' Mr. Farnsworth
believes in the happy medium of
high production of good standard
quality. Neither quantity nor quali-
ty should be forgotten in a. modern
production program.

SEEDSMEN AND THE FARMER

ARMERS seldom stop to consider
the vast amount of time, thought
and money being expended by

various agencies in order that they
may be better able to obtain good
seed. “Making seed safe for Agri-
culture” is the idea. that is responsi-
ble for changing the relatively simple
seed business of Yesterday into the
highly organized and complex seed
industry of Today. Seed laws, re-
search work, extension seed pro-
grams, seed certiﬁcation, seed veri-
ﬁcation, seed staining and seed lab-
oratories have combined to material-
1y increase the duties and services of
the seed dealer, who strives to sup-
ply his customers with seed or the
standard demanded, All or these new
wrinkles on the face of the farm
seed business are the result of the
conscientious efforts; let to protect
the consumer and his community

seed of the proper variety. or from

business to these new demands has
been going on for some time. The
wholsale seed dealers have, however,
recognized the need for a more con-
certed program thréugh a central or-
ganization managed by an executive
devoting his entire time to the wel~
fare of the association and in the im-
provement of the service to its mem-
bers. The Farm Seed Association of

CHANGE BATION
Have been feeding a laying ration
to my hens but do not get any eggs.
They seem healthy, then over night

I notice one or two will act as though ‘

they can not see and sit around.
Their combs will be red and their
eyes seem to be red, but they can’t
see and seem to rattle in their
throats. They appear to be weak
but have no bowel trouble. Haven’t
had any die but they seem to get
weaker 3.11 the time.——Mrs. 8., Battle
Crock, Mich. .

THINK that part of your trouble
has been due to your feeding;
your dock did not ha\e a. com-
The addition to a good
mash containing about 15 pounds of
meat scraps and 5 pounds of bone—
meal of 2 pounds of cod liver oil I
believe would have prevented this
trouble. I think that your feed
could be made much better by adding
this 'nmount of bonermenl and cod
liver oil to it right now. I would re—
move all infected birds to other
quarters and clean and disinfect the
.feeders and fountain-s twice «each
week . I would look carefully to
the ventilation as this is often the
cause of the colds and the roupy
troubles that affect many ﬂocks. I
think that your chickens have devel—
oped a slight attack of cold or roup.

HEAVY FEEDING

I am writing to ﬁnd out what is
the cause of my chickens dying. I
lost one rooster and hen with an en-
larged liver and I would like to
know it there would be any help for
it. I cut them open and the liver
was twice as large as it ought to be.
-—Mrs. A. F., Eaton Rapids. Mich.

YOUR poultry trouble 119nm al-
ways occurs late in the winter

or in early spring; it is «caused
by too rich needing; such Thirds usu-
ally are very fat and in high condi-
tion. It is also helm ‘ilong by the
birds not getting enough exercise.
Cut down on the feed and turn them
out to exercise. If you have been
feeding heavy of corn, discontinue
it for a While—Dr. Geo. H. Conn.

HAVE TROUBLE RAISING
TURKEYS

I have tried for the last two years
to raise turkeys but am not able to
do so. When they get about a third
grown they get what is called white
cholera and I can not ﬁnd anything
that will check it. Can you advise
me What to do for it?—Mrs. 1B.,‘
Shelby. Mich.

WOULD advise you to keep your
young poults on ground where no
other poultry has been kept for

at least one year;' they no duobt get .

M 811ch of Mrs. Ethel
WEté Diarrhea

Mn. 8W letter will no doubt
be of utmost interest to poultry rais-
er: who hire had serious losses from
White Diarrhea. We will let Mrs.
Rhonda hell it in her own words:

“Dear Sir: I see reports or so many
losing their little chicks with White
Diarrhea, so thought I would tell my
experience. My ﬁrst incubator chicks
when but a. few days old beganto
die by the dozens with 'Wte Diar-
rhea. I tried different remedies and

 

was about discouraged with the.

chicken business. Finally, I neat to
the Walker Remedy» 00., Dept. 532,
Waterloo, 14., for ‘n."$1.00 box of
their Walko White Diarrhea Rem—
edy. It’s just the only thing {or
this terrible ﬁnesse. We raised 7&9
thrifty, healthy chicks and never lost
a single chicknfterthenrstdnne.”
-—Mrs. Ethel W Shenandoah,
Iowa.

Cause of Whie Bimbo:
White Diarrhea is caused by mi-

croscopic mganisms which mnlﬁﬂi 1

with great rapidity in the intestines
of diseased birds and enormous num-
bers are discharged with the “drop-
pings. Readers are warned to be-

52111101! 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‘your
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 (11111.11
Mrs. L. L. Tam. Burnetts Creek,
“1 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. Walks not only
prevents White Diarrhea, but it gives
the chicks strength and vigor; they
develop quick-er end feather'earlier."

T is possible that the incubators

should be operated the same for
the hatching of geese eggs as for

I the hatching of chicken eggs except

if it happens t'obe a hot air machine,
extra moisture must be added. We
also advise that the temperature be

TURKEY EGGS

Would like to ask a question
about turkey eggs. I have four hens
that started to lay the 18th of March
and one is about ready to set. Now
I do not want to set them until the
ﬁrst of May. Do you think the eggs
will hatch good if I keep them until
then? I have raised turkeys many
years but have never had them lay
so early. I do not like to have them
hatch so early on account of the
cold weather in May—Mrs. F. L.
W., Coopersville, Mich.

WISH to state that Turkey eggs

saved for a period longer than

14 days are very likely to evap-
orate to such an extent that the germ
will not have sufficient strength to
hatch. I would advise that you set
your eggs at least the third week.—-

bandry, M. S. C.

HOW' TO MAKE A GONG ALARM
FOR THE CHICKEN COOP

(Continuel from Page 4)

tion on the wall that the switch lever
will be closed by the brass trip block
when the plunger rod is released by
opening the door. Care must be
taken that the plunger rod does not
interfere with the switch lever and
that all parts work freely. The trip
block H may be adjusted to the exact
position desired by loosening the set
screw. Next place your lock in such
position that the bolt prevents the
trip block and plunger being released
when the door is opened. Before
fastening the lock in place bore a
hole through the outside wall of the
building to allow the use of the key
inturning the lock.

5. Your bell and battery may be
placed in any convenient position.
Wire with insulated wire from post
Mof switch to S of the bell—from N
on the Switch to X on the battery~
from Y on the battery to T on the
hell.

6. The trip,‘batteries and bell
.should be protected with boards to
prevent thieves stopping the alarm
after entering the building.

Care must be taken to have all the
parts work freely. When the door is
opened and the plunger rod released
the switch lever will‘at once make .a
contact and start the alarm. If prop-
erly adjusted the switch will remain
closed even though the plunger bar
should be blocked back.

During the day the plunger bar
may be locked so that the door can
be opened as desired withouthoper-
ating the alarm. At night close the
door, and unlock the plunger bar
from the outside. This leaves it in
position to give an alarm should the
door be opened.

We recommend attaching the
alarm tothe door only, although it
can be wired to the windows it de-
sired. It is better to bar the win-
dows with strap iron bars or heavy
wire screen, so that they can be left
open in warm weather. If the poul-
try house has more than one door,
bar one of them on the inside with a
two-by-four.

-‘ The gong should be placed be-
tween the studding or rafters and
boarded over. Wires leading from
the trip to the gong should also be
covered. Turning a key from the
outside of the poultry-house after
the door is shut at night sets the
alarm. Then if the door is opened
the gong will start to ring. It will
be necessary to remove the hoards’
which are nailed over the gong In
order to stop .it. -

 

Mature apple orchards should be culti~
vated until the middle or latter part of

RICES have marched with ﬁrm
step so far this month. Grain
and live stock made slight gains

the ﬁrst week. Fruits and vegetables
have continued to advance. Cotton
prices stand fairly steady. Even
butter, cheese and eggs, the usual
weak features of the spring months,
have held their 'own for the time.
The Whole farm market acts well.
Grains

The grain market held generally
ﬁrm during the ﬁrst week of March.
Oats, rye, barley and soft winter
wheat sold at the highest prices on
the crop at the principal markets for
these grains. Corn feeds and high
protein feeds were quoted practically
the same on an average at the prin-
cipal markets at the close of Febru-
ary. Active export demand for rye
for shipment well into the summer,
together with only moderate receipts
and light commercial stocks, was
principally responsible for the new
'high quotations on rye. A11 urgent
demand from local malsters and

Prices Have Held 'Well So Far "In March
Oats, Rye, Barley and Soft Winter Wheat—Reach Top Price

By Market News Service, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. 8. D. A.
(Special to TnnBUsmnss Fumes)

Feeding and shearing lamb sup-
plies have been meager, with a
broad outlet at 15 to 25 cents higher
prices for feeding lambs.

‘ Cattle

A sluggish dressed beef trade, at—
tributed in part to the inﬂuence of
low priced pork, was a weakening

factor in the beef cattle trade early -

in March. With the exception of the
better grades of weighty fed steers,
which closed strong to ,25 cents
lower in all classes and grades.
Vealers were mostly 50 cents to $1
lower, closing at $14.50 to $15.50 to
big packers, with shippers paying
upward to $16 to $17. Country de-
mand for stocker and feeder cattle
was narrow at Chicago in early
March, due to the unevenness pre—
vailing in the fat cattle market, ad-
vancing corn prices, the cost of ‘re-
placement stock and other factors.

Wool
The Boston wool market was
quiet, buyers continuing to look

around but bids were infrequent.

shippers for current offerings of bar-
ley caused a continued advance in
prices of that grain.

- Wheat

The. ﬁrm domestic wheat market
in early March was largely the result
of unfavorable crop prospects in the
soft winter wheat area. and private
estimates which place farm stocks
the same as last year indicating a
relatively large domestic‘ disappear-
ance this season. Premiums for
high protein wheatlcontinued ﬁrm
for both hard winter and spring
wheat.

00m

Demand for corn continued active
and prices were practically the same
as a week ago. The cottonseed meal
market continued ﬁrm, but trading
was restricted by relatively high
prices. Linseed meal was very ﬁrm
at Buffalo but the market was dull
at Minneapolis. ,

. Feeds -

Demand for ﬂour middlings and
red dog continued dull. Gluten feed
prices held practically unchanged.
Hay markets showed a slightly ﬁrm-
er tendency during the week. The
continued light receipts as a result
in part of bad road conditions and
recent unsatisfactory prices became
insufficient for current trade needs
and prices were advanced about 50
cents to $1 per ton in several
markets.

Hogs

Considering the sharp decrease in
supplies of hogs, the price gains at
Chicago were relatively unimportant.
Fresh pork supplies continued in ex-
cess of immediate trade require-
ments, forcing packers to continue
to freeze pork on a liberal scale. The
week’s receipts showed a Wide range
in quality, strictly choice offerings
commanding a substantial premium
over medium and good grades which
predominated in the week’s offerings.
Top for the week was $8. 50, closing
top of $8.40 being paid for 185 to
200 pound weights. .

Sheep
Fat lambs going to $6.65 on choice
handyweights were standing at- the
highest'since June 15. The supply,
however, was even smaller than a
week earlier. Colorado and Nebras-
ka were responsible for the week’s
increase in numbers, a conSiderable
share of the receipts at Chicago ar-
riving on direct billing from Denver,
with smaller numbers from omens.

With the exception of ﬁne wools,
stocks were very limited and deal-
ers were not inclined to push sales.
Deﬁnite trends in the goods market
were apparently lacking, and conse-
quently mill buyers were not par-
ticularly interested in purchasing.
Fleece wools were slow, with offer-
ings on all grades except 64s and
ﬁne wools much restricted. Small
sales of Ohio ﬁne Delaine at around
49 cents were reported, but most of-
ferings were held around 50 to 51,
cents, grease basis. The ﬁne grade
in territory lines is about the only
group of western grown wools of-
fering any selection, and demand for
these lines was slow. The mohair
market continued dull.
Potatoes

Further advances of 5 to 10 cents
per 100 pounds on potatoes were re-
ported in northern Maine and west-
ern New York, while declines rang-

Week of March 25 .

The celd Weather of last week will
be moderating somewhatat the be—
glnnin'g of this so that the ﬁrst day
or so will be pleasant generally
throughout the state.

Rain or snow, however, will soon
appear and in some sections there
may be sleet. By the middle of the
week temperatures will turn colder
and the winds increase.

Until about the last day of the

-,week the conditions will be more

settled with considerable more sun-
shine but low temperatures.

April to be 0001 and Dry
. Over the greater part of the State
we are expecting. that precipitation
will not meet the usual average, al-
though there will be some local sec-
tions receiving enough if not too
great a quantity. Temperatures will
be deﬁcient over most counties.

.Farm Probabilities

Egg prices are expected to stiffen
slightly in the larger cities due to
expected .bad road conditions during
the above tWo weeks. This condition
may also slightly aﬂect potatoes in
this state. Florida'potatoes will not
come on the market as early nor as
heavy as usual judging by the ex—
pected weather trends for that state
and this may also help the northern
potato price.

.very well attended.

causing personal injuries or death, it is important
to be insured in a company that specializes and has
its ‘home ofﬁce in the state. About twenty thousand
claims were settled last year by this company With-
out Iitigation. A local agent and adjuster will give
you service on all small claims. If it is of sufficient
importance, you can drive to the main office within
a‘few hours and know that your matter is receiving
proper attention by experienced men.
