tary of the
Jobbers Association with headquar-
t‘ers at Saginaw. Kittie was once
county agent of Macomb county and
later county agent of Clinton county.
He has just recently published a

booklet pertaining to permanent
bean -.raising; 'its title is Soil Re-
habilitation. '

O O I

Saginaw Valley Original Garden of
Eden. I think “rehabilitation” is es-
pecially apropos of the present situ—
ation in Michigan. With a great deal
of the State, it isn’t soil conservation,
for that means merely preserving
what we already have and in some
sections that would not help very
much. But that very fertile section
roughly described as the Saginaw
Valley has long held the palm as be-
ing the most fertile and productive
area in Michigan. At present it is
the State’s sugar bowl and bean pot
but late years the yield of both beans
and beets has been petering out, an
unmistakable sign that fertility is
waning. With such soils it is dis-
tinctly a matter of rehabilitation,
getting back to where they once
were.

most of the, soils‘in Michigan, re-

others, notably the newer ‘soils in

the owners. But let Kittle be credit-

Where Webster Got His Deﬁni-

Charlevoix county we were trying to
get in an alfalfa fertilizer demon-
stration on the farm of David Smith,
west of Boyne City. B’. C. Mellen-

ating and there is a fellow who
tackles a job with good old fashioned
vigor; now we'd call it pep. punch or
zip. We needed a fertilizer drill in
order to get the fertilizer down be-
low the seed because that’s where it
belongs; But in this locality, fer-
tilizer drills are pretty scarce.‘ Fi-
nally Wesley Dilwortli, manager of
the Beyne City'Co-op. lent his bit
by telling us there was a drill four

 J  Solve Farm Problems Through

Agriculture Can Proﬁt by Following the Examples of Labor and Industry

,--- ' RE are forces hammering
' ’ ‘ " away at agriculture today
» threatening the fundamental,
" . economic and; social position upon
' I ~ which American rural life has been
" builded. Our agriculture was found-
ed around a self-sufficing farm unit.
This doesn’t mean absolutely self
sufficient, but to a large degree this
was the case. Agriculture in Amer-
ica has been builded around the
,home which-gave employment to. the
whole family and in turn furnished
most of the farmer’s requirements.
Agriculture'has been builded around
markets which today we are ﬁnding
inadequate to handle our increasing
ability to produce. Agriculture was
,builded in a day of individualism, of
expanding industrialization of busi—
ness, of an increased ability on the
part of the wage earner to buy.
Agriculture is facing a-new day
and doesn’t know it or at least
doesn’t‘ recognize its signiﬁcance.
Industry started back on our old
’New England farms when this and
that farm boy became a specialist in
blacksmithing, shoemaking, or some
other of the multiplicity of employ—
ments found upon the farm and built
anbusiness around his talents, has
learned his lesson of indultrialized
production, mass efficiency and of
corporate existence. Industry 'has
found a way through combines, of
eliminating needless competition.
Industry has learned the lesson of
organization and is following the or—
ganized standard. Industry does not
hesitate to discard‘the old if the new
appears better. Industry recognizes
that while. the law of supply; and ed-
mand in the main is effective it is
not entirely beyond the power of
man to change in some measure its
operation.~ Industry does not shy at
legislative palliatives for business;
Industry didn’t hesitate to set up

Marks Vast Change

This passing of the manufacturing
business of our nation from the farm
to the shops marks a vast change in
our economic structure. Farmers
that lived off the produce of their
land, made their own shoes, spun
their own cloth, used their own

home-made butterend home-cured
meats were forced to face a second
stage in the progress of agriculture.
They began to exchange goods one
with another and the age of speciali—
zation was ushered in. They traded
at the country grocery store and
what might be termed the era of
barter and exchange followed and
over-lapped the period in which they
lived off the produce of their own
land.

Dr. Butterfield Resigns As M. S. C. Head

l’igious conference in the Holy Land,
was named the new presdent.

Dr. Butterﬁeld came to M. S. C. in
September, 1924 from Amhurst,
Mass, where he served as president
of the Massachusetts Agricultural
College. He was born in this. State

V and graduated from the old M. A. C.

in 1891. Following thathe was pres-
ident of the Rhode Island State Col—
lege for nine years and then went to

head the Massachusetts institution
in 1907.
The State Board of Agriculture

has been disappointed in Dr. But-
tenﬁeld’s work at the College for
some little time because he allowed
the liberal arts to become such a big
thing in. the program of M. S. C. at
the expense of agriculture in many
cases. Apparently the fact that the
college was founded for agriculture
was forgotten. Then the ﬁnances
have been handled in a rather un—
satisfactory way. It was not long
before they were facing a deﬁcit that

- seemed to, ‘increase rather than de-

cline.

The ﬁrst of the year Dr. Butter-
uﬁeld asked for a leave of absence to
attend a religious gathering in Pales—
tine which was granted by the board.
Also they made some changes in the
control of the funds at the college.
If the beard. had been in accord with
the ‘Butterﬁeid regime they would
have put in_ Dean Phelan as acting
president during, his absence but they
did not do this; Dean Shaw was their

Before Dr. Butterﬁeld left the lat-
ter part of February it was predicted
he would never return but he de—
clared May lst would ﬁnd him back
in charge. During his sojourn in
Europe the board had another meet-
ing and they extended his leave to
July 1st without consulting him and
they removed three of his friends
from the payroll after July 1st. But
‘he returned May lst as previously
planned and everything was fairly
quiet until the May meeting when his
resignation was presented and ac—
cepted. He had made a strong ﬁght
to stick but was forced out by the
action of the board. Reporters were
informed that he had nothing to say.

'The new president, Dean Robert
S. Shaw, who has served as acting
president at various times, was born
in 1871 on a large farm near Hamil—
ton, Ontario, Canada, and graduated
from the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege in 1893 with the degree of B.
S. A. For several years he man—
aged the 520—acre farm on which he
was born, and then in 1897 went to
the University of Minnesota where
he taught animal husbandry. The
following year he went to the Mon—
tana State College as assistant pro—
fessor of agriculture, remaining there
for a little over four years. In 1902
he came to the Michigan Agricul-
tural College as professor of agri—
culture and livestock experimenter.
Then when the agricultural division
was created invl90r8 he became dean
and was later appointed to director—

But labor learned. She met the
corporate power of industry with the
second great sorganized human factor
in our economic structure, organized

labor. Labor recognized the need of 
collective bargaining and gained the *3;
point that labor is a. commodity that 5’3

can be bought and sold in quanti- ' 
ties on the market just the same as 
pig iron or cotton shirts.

Labor learned from industry some 
lessons regarding legislation. She
passed her Adamson law and kept 
an eagle eye on immigration. S'he 1.
began to do some things for herself i
and regardless of what we think
about methods we must admit that
American labor has raised its plane
of living to a point envied by that v
of? many workers in many other na- .53
tions. '

Has the farmer kept pace?
not.

Following the day of barter and
exchange he began to sell his pro-
duce and buy back on the markets ;
of the world the commodities that ‘
he needed. He lived off the proﬁts ’
of his land just as labor 'had tried to
live off, the proﬁts of unorganized
workers and business off the profits.
of a competitive industry. \}

Farmer Hasn’t Realized

Now this is no indictment of the‘
farmer. He hasn’t fully realized what.
the under—lying currents were, and if
he did he was unable to outline a.
program that would correct the diffi-
culty. Perhaps'he has not made
more serious blunders in the past
than industry is making today in its ' 
short-sighted policy of setting up a. f
situation that caters to foreign mar-
kets when only ﬁve per cent of man-
ufactured goods are exported and
it is many times more important to
industry that the purchasing power

HYDRATED LIME

.  wouldglike to know if hydrated
lime that comes in paper sacks can ..
»be used to lime the ground with for

.planting alfalfa, and if so,. how much
to drill per acre and how does it
compare with marl being used for
seeding alfalfa?—W. 0., Morley,
Michigan.

YDRATED lime is a” suitable
material for correcting the acid—
ity of soil in preparation for the

growing of alfalfa. Either hydrated
lime, marl or ground limestonewill
give good. results if applied in ade-
quate amounts and properly worked
into the soil. The amount of lime
or marl to use is determined by the
degree of acidity of the Soil and I
would not advise any farmer‘- to use
such materials until a testis made
to ﬁnd out how much is needed.'The
county agricultural agents are pre-
pared to make these tests or a sam-
ple of soil may be sent to the Soils
Department of the College if desired.
If a soil is quite sour, it is customary
to apply about two tons of ground
limestone or from four to six cubic
yards of good marl. If hydrated
lime is used, it will require about
one and one—half tons. In most
cases the hydrated lime treatment is
more expensive’than the marl or
ground limestone—C. E. Millar,
Michigan State College.

’ASPARAGUS ROOTS

How deep should asparagus plants
be set? Is it advisable to set three
year old plants? Will they do Well
in black «muck, well drained?——C. S..
Alpena, Michigan.

HE proper depth of planting as-
T paragus roots will depend to
some extent on the type of soil.
Eight to ten inches deep is usually
satisfactory as this enables you to
lightly plow or harrow the soiI early
in the spring and 'again when the
cutting season is over at which time
manure can, be applied. A light
plowing in the fall is advisable.
There is no particular advantage in
setting three year old roots; in fact
I would prefer good strong one or
two year old roots. Only strong vig-
orous roots should be set in any case.
The Michigan State College is ex~
perimenting with asparagus on muck
soil but ‘I do not believe they have
made known the results as yet.
However, you might communicate
with the horticultural department.—

MUST PAY TUITION

Must a school district pay the tu—

pupil who passed his twentieth birth-
day last August? Does the teacher
have the right to change any and all
school books some of which were put
in less than two years ago, without
the consent of the school board, and
can the parents be compelled to pay

"  “Varieties
LETTER from a subscriber at
Ypsilanti wants to know where
he can obtain potatoes called
“Fist Dutch." I'am unable to tell
him and it any of the readers can
furnish the in-
formation would
be glad to have
it' sent to M. B.
F. at Mt. Clem-
ens. Requests for
special varieties
of p tatoes and
othe crops come
to "me and some
of the varieties
I have never
heard of. Some
seed companies
will take some
very good stand-
ard variety and give it a new name
and'I believe this is where many of
the variety names originate. I think
the seed companies are growing away
from this questionable practice and
instead of giving a. new name to
some standard sort are offering the
seed as being of their special selec-
tion or improvement. This is far bet—
ter, and unless some one can origi-
nate a superior new variety there
are enough names on a seed list
right now to last for several dec-
ades. I believe this Ypsilanti Sub—
scriber will ﬁnd some standard sort
of potato just as good as the “Flat
Dutch" could be. This year the
Michigan Crop Improvement Asso-
ciation will certify only the follow-
ing varieties which show that they
are the only ones recommended in
Michigan. Early Ohio, Irish Cob-
bler and Triumph for the early crop,
and for late crop, White Rural (Sir

Old; Fertilizer

From Kingsley comes a letter ask-
ing about depreciation of fertilizer
after remaining in a warehouse. a
year or ‘so. I do not think the value
will be lessened to any noticeable
extent if the fertilizer has been
stored in a dry place. Of course, I
would prefer the fresh product, but
how do you know it is just made
even when your dealer just opens a
newly arrived carload? Old ferti-
lizer if kept dry and not caked or
lumpy, will-be quite as effective as
any. Fertilizer manufacturers know
that some plant food elements will
deteriorate when mixed together and
they do not mix those that will be-
come inactive with combination. We
have used old fertilizer, that had to
be pounded up with a club to break
the lumps, and it gave a good ac-
cgunt of itself; It *

Sweet Clover Bay

A man at Waltz, Michigan, wants
to know about sweet clover hay.
From his letter and several others I
have- lately received, I conclude
there are many who seem to have
the idea that sweet clover can be
made into a “catch crop of hay," in
years like this when old meadows
and new ones, too, are practically
all gone. This is a mistaken idea
about sweet clover. While it is pos—
sible and has been done, it is almost
too uncertain to, recommend the
sowing of sweet clover in the spring
with the intention of cutting a crop
of hay that same season. It is pos-
sible also, to sow it-with cats or
other grain and have it get large
enough after harvest to cut a crop
of. hay, but these possibilities are

not certain enough to recommend .,
them as practical” At this late date,

Millet or Sudan grass will be ~more
worth while. ‘

Another man‘wants to know when
and how to make sweet clover hay. ~

A man writes asking. if sweet
clover can be cut year after year
like alfalfa. No, it must be reseeded
every year. If allowed to go to
seed a year or two in succession. it
is possible some of the seed will
come up every year and make it a
sort of perpetual crop, but the plant
itself dies the second year after
being sown.

Grimm‘ Stands the Test

A few days ago, I visited a .man
who has made more than an or—
dinary success with alfalfa. He
showed me a ﬁeld where Grimm had
been growing for several years.
When he seeded the ﬁeld. he ran
out of Grimm and had to. use a little
common alfalfa to ﬁnish it. The
common has done very well until
this last winter, when it nearly, if
not quite all, killed out. The Grimm
is as good as ever. He has 3. won-
derful prospect for hay from the
Grimm ﬁelds, while if he had sown
all with the common variety, he
would not have any hay prospect at
all. He also showed me his hog pas-
tureof sweet clover. This ﬁeld
grows up and reseeds itself every
year and the great rangy Tamwo‘rt‘hs

A near—by neighbor called {me to

the cause of some “freak” strips of
excellent timothy and clover in a.
ﬁeld ,which was intended for a mead-
ow this year, it having been seeded
in the wheat a year ago. The ﬁeld
is barren other than the strips just
mentioned and must be put into
some crop. If all of the ﬁeld Were
like these “strips” he would have a
ﬁne crop of hay. What'caused these
strips to be so ﬁne when all the rest
is dead? Is the ﬁeld badly run? No.
the ﬁeld is in excellent condition and
produces ﬁne crops of corn, oats, etc.
The wheat last year was good. But
these “strips”——what could have
caused them? Isn’t it a queer thing?
See, they don’t run very straight and
regular; and they are about four feet
wide and wind around, and over

NEW‘YQRK GETS THE JUMP
‘ ON MICHIGAN

“ HY do New York apples pre-
dominate in Michigan mar-

. kets?” asks the GrandRapids
Press. . “Does it reﬂect better grad—
ing in New York State or faulty dis
' . tribution on the
part ’of Michigan
apple interests?”
“It reﬂects nei-
ther,” says the
Michigan Fruit
Growers Inc.,
“except whatever
lack of distribu-
tion is occasioned
‘by. the fact that

present paying
3 6 p e r . c e n t

higher relative
\ Herbert Natzixer freight charges
than New.York State apple growers.
Most Detroit or Chicago wholesalers
will admit that on the average
Michigan apples are packed equally
good or better than/New York State
fruit, due to the stricter grading
regulations enforced by the Michigan
Department of Agriculture at the re—
quest of growers.”

A study of certain ﬁgures con-
tained in a reCent bulletin issued by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
(Relative Importance of Varieties
and Sources of Carload Supply of
Apples), in markets in which Michi-
gan fruit should predominate be-
cause of nearness to market, in-
dicates that the New York grower
evidently has considerable advantage
in the matter of freight rates.

In shipping to Indianapolis, apples
from New York must travel 250 per
cent greater mileage than Michigan
apples, yet the New York rate is only
50 per cent higher than the Michi—
gan rate. . From Rochester, New
York, to Detroit the mileage is 150
per cent greater than from Benton
Harbor, Michigan, with practically

the same rate. From Rochester, New .

York, to Lexington, Kentucky,.the
mileage is 150 per cent greater than
from Benton Harbor and yet the
New York rate is 38 per cent lower!
Taking rates which apply to points
farther north than Benton Harbor
such as Fennville, Grand Rapids, etc.
the freight rate is increased.

In a normal year Michigan apple
growers will pay about $240,000
more to ship their crop than New
York growers in shipping a like ton—
nage to Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indi—
anapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Milwau-
kee, Lexington, Louisville and Pitts-
burgh. Other fruits and other pro-
ducts such as hay, grain, beans, po—

‘ tatoes, etc., show a similar handicap.

Why is New York getting the
jump on Michigan? Mainly because
New York has a trained traffic ex—
pert on the job“ continually, getting
better rates for agriculture. A simi—
lar man’s work in the Michigan De-
partment of Agriculture would cost
'about $15,000 annually and could
save the growers $240,000 a year, in
nine markets, on apples alone. This
looks like a good investment. So far,
however, Governor Green has turned
a deaf ear to entreaties of growers
"and the farmers‘ organizations to

putMichigan agriculture on .a par
"with its competitors. We . wonder

Elimination of Pullman Surcharge Will Involve Loss 0
000,000 to Railroads and Will Shift the Burden

Upon Those Who Do Not Enjoy the Service

THE Senate Committee has reported out favorably the Robinson bill
eliminating the Pullman surcharge. This action, while apparently a popular one, is
class legislation and as such is bound to involve losses not only to the railroads, but to

the traveling public who ride in the day coaches and to a number of communities that
now enjoy sleeping car service.

TO the Railroads," it involves immediately a loss of $40,000,000 in
revenue annually, which will have to be made up somehow. The surcharge is the only
revenue that the railroads get for the hauling of the heavier equipment and the inci-
dental special service of parking this equipment at the stations and in coach yards. In
fact, the railroads have always had to pay to the Pullman Company a certain small
charge for the mileage of each Pullman car and besides a guarantee of a certain mini—

mum of return covering a period of years. All of the returns for berths, etc., go to the
Pullman Company excepting the surcharge. "

THE surcharge was found necessary by the United States Railroad Adminin
stration. Its continuance has been recommended by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion after an exhaustive study of the entire question of passenger travel returns.

THE Pullman sleeping car after all is a hotel on wheels. It provides an
unusual service. It represents a heavy investment per passenger. The berth charge
and the surcharge of 50 per cent (which latter is the only revenue the railroads derive

from this high class service) together, are not out of line with the charge for a room
in a modern high class hotel.

SINCE the Pullman sleeping car passenger enjoys greater comfort than
does the passenger in the day coach, he should expect to pay for the added comfort.
The Pullman passenger is allotted two and one half times as much space as the person
riding in the day coach. The car weight per passenger of the average day coach—
assuming that it is ﬁlled—is about 6,800 pounds. The car weight per passenger of the
average Pullman sleeping car—assuming that sleeper is ﬁlled—is about 12,260 pounds.
The cost to the railroad of hauling a sleeping car passenger is, therefore, approximately
twice as much. Should not the sleeping car passenger pay for these additional privi-
leges to the passenger and the obligations devolving upon the railroads?

ANOTHER illustration: The sleeping car lines to Nﬁchigan resorts in
summer and to Florida or California resorts in the winter, are seasonal movements. The
travel is all in one direction, which means that the return movement is an empty one.

RAILROADS have only two main sources of income—passenger revenues
and freight revenues. '

THE wiping out of $40,000,000 annually in passenger revenues involved
in the abolition of the surcharge on Pullman fares must inevitably do one of three things:—

1. Result in cutting down of passenger train service now provided by
American Railroads;

2. Restricting sleeping car service on the less prosperous lines;
3. Or, shifting the burden of the loss upon the shippers of freight.

ANY one of these expedients is unfair to the general public, that section
who ride in the day coaches.

- IT is a good principle of business at all times to require the person who
enjoys a special service to pay for that special service.

THE Pullman surcharge requires just that.

THE abolition of the surcharge, therefore, constitutes class or sumptuary
legislation, which is not desirable in this day and age.

THE railroads do not object to governmental regulation by the proper
tribunal—the Interstate Commerce Commission— constituted to deal with the trm
portation industry exclusively.

uneconomic and unfair measure.

SPEAKING THROUGH - THE ICE
‘EAR EDITOR: I want to say a
few words in regards to ﬁsh
laws in answer to “L. H. R,
I want to say that

igan do not have time to ﬁsh during
the summer and cheat the only time
to ﬁsh is during January and Febru-
ary, spearing through the ice. As
for being bags, I can not. see as we
are as much hogs as the people who
come up here summers. There are
actually more ﬁsh caught here in
one week during the summer than
were caught by all the ﬁsherman on

Burt and Mullet lakes combined this

last winter. Speaking of hogs again.
the. largest catch this winter by any
man was ten pike and last summer I
personally saw one man catch ﬁf-
teen pike. Who is the 'hog?

As to the size of the ﬁsh I agree
with “L. H. P.” that the small go
in the count and cut the count down.

"MAIL SERVICE

EAR EDITOR: I agree with
Hugh Fosdick that the rural
mail delivery is not fair. We
cannot seem to get the mail to go
by our door. There are three~houses
within one-half mile and all of us
have to walk to the corner for our
mail in all kinds of. weather or go
without, and sometimes it is very
bad to try and leave money in the

box or try to send money orders.
I have tried by writing to the post

master general and all he did was

send my letter to the local post mis-
tress. At that time I think they
were talking at raising the mail
man's wages, so he said. This same
mail man on his route drives one.
mile to serve one house on a very
poor read while the road is much
better by our place and three houses
within a half mile.

Why does. the government pay
mail carriers to deliver mail to
every house in the city while many
rural people have to wade snow and
mud and put up with anything?—~

POLITICS
EAR EDITOR: I am very much

 

interested in your Minute Men: -

proposition and. am sure we are
all opposed to the-thief and want to
get rid of him but talk alone will
not do this. We will all have to!
get our shoulders to the wheel.

We are being robbed more each
day of the year, more than this thief
gets, only he comes at night and
does not belong to the right class.

When it comes to selecting candi-
dates how much cheese does our
primary system out? The industrial
class pick out the‘ man they want
and how many voters ever look up
his record. We have a man trying
hard to get the nomination for the
presidency. What did he ever do
to show the farmer and laborer
that he was their friend. I think
he demonstrated this when he got
the farmers $2.20 for $3.00 wheat.
Are you farmers going to forget this
and vote for that kind of a man?
If so never in the world will you
get any place.

Last year, while: threshing at a
neighbor’s, I am sure there were 14
or, 16 'men there and not one of
them could tell you about the bill
put through regarding clover seed
or who was the cause of its being
put across, and still three—fourths of
this same bunch were sobbing about
the railroad man, his wages, etc,
and out of. the bunch just one
could tell how long they have been
getting what they got.

Gentlemen, they‘ did not get it in
one year, nor ﬁve years, it too-k sev-
eral. Now the ﬁrst thing the farm-
ers must do is get recognized in
Congress, then do not expect to get
the whole loaf the ﬁrst bite. ‘Do as

POISONING FROM ALUMINUM

casting, out demons, and: is the most
important verse» I know of in all
literature. It deals with our pres~

Once, some years ago, those who
demonstrate this nice looking. shiny

frequently through some churehaid,

society, did have a printed slipnlong

Salt is sodium and chlorine, and
chlorine is a violent poison. In hos-
pital routine, where calomel (for

mercury) generally the food (and
they feed the ,sick in hospitals. in-
stead ot fasting them) and water

the mercury of the calomel meet-

task that advertises allngyour lists-
takes. All summer long the corn

I was more than pleased a few
weeks ago when one of my very ef-
ﬁcient farmer friends invited me to
ﬁnish up a ﬁeld for him. I thought
I was going to be cheated out of a

One-Room Schools '

A few weeks ago I had the oppor-
tunity to visit several rural one—
_room schools. These rural schools
, of Michigan are the centers where
the farmer’s children receive their
education before they enter high
school. I am sorry to say that
these one-room schools are not giv-
ing very good results. and are handi-
capping the _tarmer’s boys and girls.
In many cases the equipment is poor,
the number of classes taught are'
too large and the number in each
class is too small. There is usually
inadequate / supervision and very
one: the child passes from grade
to grade with little regard for his or
her work. As a result when these
youngsters come to the high school
they often ﬁnd that they cannot do
the worth of their city cousins. I
know‘this‘ to be true because I have
the tank of teaching .many of them
in the high school. I am not criti-
cising the rurai teachers as I know
they are doing their best at an up-
hill job, but this unfair and inciti-
eient system of education of our
Mm youth causes a feeling of sad—
ness and regret within me, and I
hope the time is near-at hand when
the one-room school will be elimi—
nated and in its place will be a cen-
tralized, up—to—date school for our
farm boys and girls.

Main New Age

Proper education and training
seem all the more important to the
farm boy and girl when we realize

we wonderful age in which we are N

living. This isan age of science, of

' economy, and skill, where a premi-
nm is given for the man or Woman
with‘efficiency and training. It is
an age or new ideas and methods in
industry; this is true in both busi-
ness and agriculture.

  

‘ " madman” have found
that a, 100 candiepower lamp can be
operated , an old-

.taahio‘n candle; other discover-

ies reveal like facts. In the auto-
mobile. industry one laborer in Amer-
ica can prbduce more than 10 work-

ersin Europe. General Motors, Ford,
and many other automobile mag-

nates invest capital in“ special ma-
chinery. save labor, and reduce total
costs while paying a maximum wage
to laborers; on the other hand the
textile manufacturers, on which our
cotton growers depend, failing to
adopt these new and up—to-date
methods, are ﬁnding themselves in
the background, and are attempting
to reduce costs by reducing wages.

Everything which can be stated
about ‘ unsatisfactory business meth-
ods can be applied to agriculture or
to the farm. Eﬂicient machinery,
properly cared for, proper rotations,
and cultural methods. good vari-
eties of seed, and correct types of
stock are some of the factors which
go to make a better agriculture.

‘ J. O O
Fecthng ‘Small Pigs
. Numerous questions have come to
me regarding the ﬂooding of small
pigs after weaning age or soon after
weaning. The Purdue experiment

 

station has carried on various ex-

periments in hog feeding and they
recommend a ration as soon as the
pigs are weaned of the following
mixture: 80 parts corn; 20 parts of
high grade wheat shorts, and 10
parts of tankage by weight. ‘This
feed is put in a self—feeder in a creep
where little pigs can get at it at all
times free from competition with
older hogs. Pasture, plenty of
water, and skim milk will make the
showing just that much better.

Due to the corn shortage proba-
bly a ration without corn in it
would be of more service at this
time. The Michigan State Experi—
ment station at East Lansing gives
the following ration for weaned
pigs: barley 100 lbs; oats 50 lbs.
middlings 50 lbs. Supplemented with
tankage 22 lbs. or skim milk 520 lbs.

 if they caught 'Messer and Losing
at work. Cattle. he noticed, were begin-
ning to ﬁll out with amazing celerity
,now. and he visioned with regret the
' many prime beeves they could have ship—
pod with the coming of the snow if things
had not gone amiss.

His horse was following a trail with
.whlchhe'was little acquainted. He had
been mounting steadily for some time and
was well up in the blue timber now,
where it was cooler. It was darker, too,
under the big spruce that shot skyward
a hundred feet or more, straight as a
drawn string. . .

- Terry stopped at a spring and watered

his horse. He noticed when he stretched
himself to drink of the icy water that it
was =disturbed, carrying sediment from
above. He reasonedythat there must be
cattle above. or deer or elk.

He arose swiftly, drew his riﬂe from
his scabbard and set off up the trail
afoot. A piece of fresh_meat would not
be unwelcome, .he decided. Bear would
be getting fat and tender now.

He advanced cautiously, the wind in
his face, the carpet of pine needles blan-
keting his footfails completely. A whiff
of wood smoke, pungent and unmistak-
able, came down the wind. Terry paused,
considered anew, then went on more care-
fully than ever. And so advancing, he
came presently upon the source of the
smoke. '

In a little park, but a few yards in di-
ameter, two men were occupied, Messer
and Lossing.

A two-year-old-steer, evidently stupe-
ﬂed by poison, had wandered that way
and fallen in the little stream. The ani-
mal was not quite dead yet, but it would
never rise to its feet again. Messer was
leaning over the beast with a glowing
iron in his hand; Lessing was holding a
blanket, water soaked.

“Here’s where we make another Bar Z
Bar steer out of a Bar Slash Bar," said
Messer laughing. “I‘ve heard of lots of
men changing someone else's brand into
their own. but this is the ﬁrst time I
ever heard of anyone changing their own
branding into somebody's else's.”

"Put that iron on here," ordered Loss-
ing. “Be cold ﬁrst thing you know."

Terry stepped out of the pines fringing
the park, the riﬂe leveled.

“Don’t make any sudden moves," he
said. “I’m nervous and this riﬂe is easy
on trigger. Loaded with soft-nosed bul-
ets," he added. “'0 "

Their surprise was complete. But Loss-
ing recovered quickly.

“You've got a funny idea of a joke,” he
said. managing a grin of sorts. -

“Count it that if you like," Terry told
him. "Just turn arOund, both of you,
and walk down this trail before me."

"Anything to oblige," sneered Lossing.
“Who‘s first?"

"You," said Terry. watching him close-
ly. If either of them carried guns, he
could not see them, and he dared not risk
searching them. A rifle is awkward at
close quarters.

Lossing purposely stepped quickly, thus
putting a yard or two between him and

Messer who was next. And for a second ‘

Terry realized that he could not watch
them both and he opened his mouth to
order Lossing to halt.

But that second was enough for Messer,
Terry never knew what hit him until
later. Lew Kane, forest ranger for that
'district. found him with a hole in his
side, lying almost in the stream, uncon-
scious. He placed the lad on the saddle
before him and took him home. Terry
had not recovered consciousness when the
doctor came several hours later and re-
sponded slowly to treatment.

“He’ll make it,"- said the doctor, “with
proper care; but it’s hard to tell when
he’ll ‘come to himself." And like a wise
doctor. he asked no questions.

TEXT: “If thine enemy be hungry, give
him bread to eat: ‘ ‘ ‘ for thou
wilt heap coals of ﬁre .upon his head, and
Jehovah will reward thee." Proverbs
25:21.

HEY said that they were consci-
entious objectors to war. There
were about fifty of them. and

they would not ﬁght nor would not
work. One of our reactions on leav-
ing this war camp was that of a
heightened respect for the United
States government. For while these
men were neutral foes of a war ad-
ministration,‘yet the State contin-
ued to feed and care for them in a
An oﬁicer was ques-
tioned as to why the uniformed sol—
diers did not sneer at them, and he
replied, “They dare not. We will
not permit it.” Let us raise the
Christian ﬂag to grace the Stars
and Stripes, for here indeed was our
own Uncle Sam heaping coals of ﬁre
upon his enemies.

“If thine'enemy be hungry, give
him bread to eat." Does it surprise
you to ﬁnd that we do not have to
wait to reach the New Testament to
discover the heart of God? This an-
cient text stands for persistent love
and good-will. However, when trans-
ferred to the New Testament we
think this ideal has a more consis-
tent setting. We see it in a new and
clearer perspective. Goals of ﬁre
are an essential part of the ethics of
Christ and the teachings of Paul.
Such moral excellence does not pre-
vail in the standards of pro-Christian
sages. Just feel this hot breath of
the psalmist upon his enemies, “Let
burning coals fall upon them; let
them be cast into the ﬁre, into deep
pits whence they shall not rise.”

To Get Rid ’of Flies

Now these are coals of hatred; of
vengeance. The psalmist thought he
had a right to pray in this manner
against his enemies. And many
moderns breathe out such impreca-
tions. But does God hear? Not if
He is the God of the Sermon on the
Mount. Imprecatory prayers are
hardly consistent with the life and
teachings of Him in Whom was no
spirit of hate or hurt.

We are sad to know that multi-l

tudes of men are not yet above a
“tooth for a tooth and an eye for
an eye” state of social living. And
we are ashamed that even church
folks sometimes like to render to
others according to their works.
They like vengefully to strike back.
Forgiveness is altogether too rare in
Christian society. Why is it; that
Christians resort to bitter retalia—
tion? Don’t they know better? Of
course. It is not so hard to get men
to acknowledge the rightness of the
forgiving principle; but it is hard to
get them to practice it. Elemental
selﬁshness overrules. Passion mas—
ters. And thus goodness is trampled
under feet. This is the Spirit Of
war whether in the heart of the in-
dividual or of the nation. .But we
are learning. The heart of the coun-
try is leaning toward a Higher Wis‘
dom. Secretary Kellog’s proposal
for a general treaty of peace among
the nations is a broad gesture toward
applying coals of kindness. Could
anything the quicker soften inter-
national frictions and pacify inter-
racial jealous’ies?
so! We sanguinely hope she may be
ﬁrst in any move to disarm the na-
tions of fear and hate.

off in haste. . . .

was at the horse corral whenvhe appeared.

said Kane‘i ,."But we’ll"ge‘t them, never

“They did!" exclaimed Mort, his jaw
dropping. "HOW'many, did you ﬁnd out?"

“Over a hundred," Kane told him. “But
they never loaded th‘em‘ at-any railroad
pen. I know than". ‘ ' . ‘
“Then what did they do with them?"
Mort wanted to 'know. "Eat them?” a

“Hardly'that,” Kane. [anaged a smile.
“No doubt," he added, “but that they were
the cattle in queStion." "

"Not a bit in the world," said Mort.
"But. I can't look for them‘now. I’ve got
three men’s work! to do ‘here. What can
we do about it?" . ~. '

“You ought to have some help here,"
"said the ranger." ‘Where's the young

“In the hospital," Mort told him, "with

“Got to get on," said Kane. "Just

Mr. Muir came back next day with the
news that Doug had been removed from
the hospital two days after he had been
injured and. no address was available.
He could ﬁnd no trace of him.

“But was he hurt as bad as the paper
said he was?” Mary wanted to know at

“I talked to the surgeon that attended

about in- a sort of perpetual stupor.

“Lord, Lord," Mort ‘was saying, “300

Terry grinned wanly. _

"its , meaning expande'd"'to universal
ends. Is, human brotherhood worth
.while? 'Then._,the law of' coals of
charity must get a hearing in the
court of the public mind. The people
are the juryr and though thus far
they have had no opportunity to ren-
der a formal verdict, we can almost
certainly forecast what it is to be.
They are tired of the terror and in-
humanity of war. The common voice
cries out for a trial of reason and
love. He lay in a federal prison
during the recent war. He was
asked what had been his. greatest
experience. One might suppose it
was that of bitterness and hate. But
these are his words, “I have discov-
ered that love is omnipotent. All
the forces on earth cannot prevail
against it. Hatred, war, cruelty,
greed and lust must all give way be—
fore it. It will overthrow all tyran-
nies. It will empty all prisons. It
will not only emancipate the human
race eventually, but to a great ex-
tent it lifts us individually above the
struggle while we are in the thick of
the ﬁght for human brotherhood.”
It is easily seen hOW Jehovah is re-
warding this individual, and how,
therefore, he will reward the race
when such individuals predominate.

Goals of ﬁre have in them mystical
power to appease the wrath of men.
Such goodness wears down antagon—
ism and turns the antagonist into a
friend. But is there no limit to
love? Well, not unless seventy times
seven is that limit. Yet doesn’t
this teaching completely defeat the
spirit of bitterness? It does not fol-
low that we- are never to oppose
another. We sometimes have to do
this for the good of the opponent and
of others. But this kind of good—
ness has in it no ruthless violence.
The motive of getting even is ruled
out. Hard? Of course, it is hard.
But isn’t it necessary for the soul’s
sake? We are led to most serious
reﬂection when we recall that God’s
forgiveness is measured to us- as we
forgive others. This is conquering
evil with good and getting our re;
ward from on high. It is, converting
,evil into astaircase which leads to
regions celestial. Do we have a
heart of 'pity and love large enough
to cover up our'enemy? One Man
did and Jehovah rewardedghim. The
Jesus way was-to get. vengeance

through love. Our: text will never be _

fulﬁlled until we fellowthiswayand,
'give our enemie's.~bread instead. of
bullets. ' , ‘ ' . . v

ANNUAL ORCHARD TOUR
' IN AUGUST
ATES for the annual orchard
tour, of the Michigan State Hor—
. ticultural Society have been set
for August 3rd and 4th and the trip
is to be through the concentrated
fruit section in the St. Catharines
district of Ontario, Canada. The,
tour will start at Windsor, Canada,
across the river from Detroit on the
morning of the third and the night
will probably be spent at Simcoe or
possibly at Hamilton. The second
r day will ‘take in the fruit sections
around Vineland, St. Catharines and
end up that evening at Niagara Falls.
From there some’of the party plans
.to continue eastward while others
1 will return to Michigan either on the
-. American ‘or Canadian side, but the
main party will break up at that
-point and what. folks may. do from.
- that point “on is a, personal matter
for them to decide as no organized
trips orgroups are planned. -
- »This~is-a trip that will be a com—
bination of business and pleasure,
- and one that every fruit grower and
his wife willenjoy. It is a chance to
take the wife on another honeymoon
to Niagara Falls. We hope to see you
7 on; the trip. - . .

I drive your automobile, as you will
need it at the border. '

"The Farm Paper of Service"

THE M. S. C. PBESIDENCY
ICHIGAN State College has a. new president.
Dr. Kenyon L. Butterﬁeld resigned during
the May meeting of the State Board of
Agriculture and Dean Robert S. Shaw of the agri-
cultural division of the college was appointed in
his place.

As we have predicted in these columns, this
change was inevitable. Not because of any per-
sonal feeling, if any, that there might be at the
college or among the board members, but because
Mr. Butterﬁeld was not the man to head the in-
stitution. He is a wonderful scholar but not an
executive. The man at the head of an institu-
tion of this kind must be able to get the heads of
the various departments working together for the
common good of all. Dr. Butterﬁeld failed to do
this, so it was necessary to make a change if M.
S. C. was to continue to show progress.

The college was founded in the interests of
agriculture and under Dr. Butterﬁeld's direction
it apparently lost sight of that fact, so in making
a change an agricultural minded man should be
appointed. Certainly no one appears more cap-
able of ﬁlling the bill at this time than Dean
Shaw. He has been the head of the agricultural
division of M. S. C. for the past twenty-six years
and at various times served as acting president
of the college. Dean Shaw loves the college and
is giving his best to it. He has the respect and
will receive the cooperation of those who are in
the departments concerned about agriculture as
well as the alumni, present students, farm organ-
izations and farmers in general. He has all ready
asked for this cooperation, stating that no one
man will be able to conduct the affairs of the
college successfully without the cooperation of
all friends of the institution.

With Dean Shaw at the helm at Michigan State
College we look forward very Conﬁdent of a
bright future. ~

 

 

 

 

\VE’LL MISS YOU, PROF. REED

OR some time rumors have had it that Prof.
O. E. Reed, "head of the dairy husbandry
department at Michigan State College, would
be appointed chief of the Bureau of Dairy Indust—
ry of the United States Department of Agricult-
ure in the near future. We hoped this W s not
true, for selﬁsh reasons of course, because he is
a very valuable man and we did not want the
farmers of Michigan to lose their close contact
with him, but an announcement by Secretary of
.Agriculture Jar-dine of his appointment has been
given to the public. He is to take up his duties

in Washington about September let.

Prof. Reed was born in 1885 at Fayette, Miss-
ouri, reared on a farm, and graduated from the
University of Missouri in .1908, receiying his
master’s degree there two years later. f In 1911

he went to the Kansas State Agricultural College -

as head, of the dairy husbandry department and
ﬁlled this position until 1918 when he accepted a.
similar position with Purdue University- After

two years there he came to Michigan State College '

~ and has served as head 0! dairy hulhandrypnd

 

   

labeib'

may:

  

and in 1925 lo; he has named
the dairy industry abroad units one of the dele-
gates to the Internatioml Dairy Congress‘soon to
be held in England. ' .

As the head attire work h dairying at l. S.
0., Prof. Reed gathered about him some of the
best men in the game undies made the college
outstanding in this work. The farmers of Mich-
igan owe him much and they-are going to mine
him. ‘ ' ' ‘

 

FARM RELIEF _

OUR. senators and representatives have return-
ed from Washington and many of them are
now busy telling the farmers how much

congress did for them by passing the McNary-

Haugen bill but President Coolidge spoiled it all

by vetoing it when it came to him for signing. we

think that if a. contest was put on to name the
best joke told in 1928 that this one should win in

a. walk.

When the bill came before President Coolidge
during the 1927 session of congress he stated
carefully and fully his reasons for vetoing it, and
the equalization fee was one of his main objec-
tions. Yet when the. new bill, which was the old
one with a. few slight changes, was brought up in
the last session it still contained that one big ob-
jection and carried it all the way through both
house and senate and ﬁnally to the President's
desk with the congressmen well aware that it
would be vetoed. Then when they had a chance
to pass it over the President’s veto some of then
changed their minds. Would the hill have passed
either house or senate if the members had be-
lieved Coolidge would sign it?

If our congressmen were so earnest in their.
desires to help the farmers why did they not
spend their time on a bill that would stand a
chance of winning the approval of the administra—
tion? Perhaps it would not have been just what
the farmers in every section of the country want-
ed but certainly it would have been something—-
which they haven’t got now. -

 

WILL IT BE DEAN COX?

RESIDENT SHAW, new head of Michigan
P State College, has announced that he will re—
sign as dean of agricultuie to give his entire
time to his new work. The State Board of Agri-
culture failed to make any arrangements at its
last meeting for anyone to take his place in the
agricultural division but will undoubtedly do so
at their next meeting, in June. We are conﬁdent
that the farmers of Michigan would be pleased
to see Prof. J. F. Cox, head of the farm crop de-

partment, appointed as dean of agriculture.

 

BLAMING THE STATE BOARD
HE city press has had much to say about the
changes in presidents at the Michigan State
College during the last few years and criti-
cizes the State Board of Agriculture for not doing
a better job of selecting. Perhaps the board is
at fault but could anyone else do any better?
When you buy a. horse you can not tell at once
whether he will prove to be just What you want.
Of course you investigate the record of the animal
before you buy and make your choice from that
but when he gets to working for you, in a. differ-
ent neighborhood and under diﬂerent conditions,
he may change in many ways. The same will ap-
ply to the hired man, whether he be the hired
man on your farm, the hired man at the head of
the Michigan State College, or the hired man
governing our State.

 

NON -S’.l‘OP RECORDS

 papers are full of stories about nonstop

records of various kinds—airplane, auto

driving, eating, checker playing, dancing,
and what have you but the latest one to come
to our attention takes the cake. Two Californh
farm boys recently completed a 240-hour non-«stop
tractor run. The tractor, pulling a nine-foot“
double disk with plank ﬂoat behind, was used

 

4 in cultivating an orchard for ten days and nights

without a stop. This breaks the previous record
of 168% hours established in New Zealand.

 

THAT IS RIGHT

N an article in the Breeders Gazette James A.
Walker, founder and head of the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute, says,"“After watching it

closely for many years, I've concluded that with-
out good cows, hogs and hens to convertgﬁeld
crops into higher priced products, the average
farming community is severely Radian-Ole"

4 PETER PLOW’S PHILOSOPHY «

 

 

 

I notice a piece in the paper tellin' ’bout the
Prince of Wales tallin' 08 his horse 29 times.
It didn't say whether that was durin' one week or
a year. One thing sure, he certainly "falls" for,
the horses.

Now that congress has adjourned and the wind
has stopped blowin' from Washington some of
them foreigners who want to ﬂy to America from
Europe stand a sportin' chance of makin' it.

Congress said they couldn’t pass the corn borer
appropriation bill in time to pay for work done
this spring and then a week or solater thé bill -
goes through to cover work done this comin’ fall
and next spring. An’ none of the claims for work
done this spring Would be paid ’fore "bout August
even if the money was appropriated. Gosh. I
must be dumb, ’cause I can't seem to understand
how them congressmen ﬁgure.

Ever hear this one? This is the latest Ford
joke I’ve heard. A teller was drivin’ along. the
road fbout ﬁfty miles an hour in a Packard and a.
Ford pulled up 'long side of him. He ﬁgured he
couldn’t let a Ford pass so he give ’er more gas
and went seventy mil-es an hour. Still the Ford
kept up with him and he noticed the driver was
tryin’ to talk to him. “What’s the matter?” he
says, "Go on and pass me it you want to.”

“I can't," yelled the Ford driver, “cause she
won’t go any faster in second and I don't [mow
how to shift’er into high.” . \

: ask me for ﬁ—

“that very often I ﬁnd it em-
harassing.”

“I’m nota‘bankcr, and I’m not

is First Mortgage Bonds issued
by a responsible house like yours. .

In such bonds I
know that it is pos-

who follow my advice by pur-

HAPPILY MARRIED

N the last sentence of her letter,
this woman has successfully
pointed out the real signiﬁcance
of marriage. She has said in exactly
two words what many have failed to
say in articles hundreds of words
long. She describes accurately what
the state of marriage should be in
its true sense when she calls it a
"life work.” A life work—that’s
what it should be, not a pastime nor
yet a casual occupation, but a service
to which to devote one’s whole self.
A very wise man once remarked that
he would rather have it said of him
that he was a good husband and
father than a success in his profes-
sion. If more people would take this
attitude toward marriage in starting
out upon the great adventure,

unhappy unions would be a rarity.
“Yes, I am still in love with my
husband. If I were to write all his
shortcomings, you would wonder
why. (I have plenty of faults, too.)
“We were married 38 years ago,
and are still living on the same farm.
He was 23 and l 17 years of age.
I would do the same thing again if
it were the same man—I have stated
this dozens of times. I have heard it
said, and I believe it’s true, that the
ﬁrst ﬁve years are the hardest. We
must live together to become ac-
quainted, and if we are wise (we
women) we will tactfully avoid
many a quarrel, smile when we’d
rather pout, speak good words when
we are just bursting to say mean
ones, and learn that our supreme
, , happiness, comfort, and pleasure
within comes from‘ a higher source.

“I love my husband more than any
man I ever saw. (I have reason to
believe he feels the same way about
"1116.) He is hone-st and industrious,
and one can always depend'on'his
‘word. He is strong morally, phy-
sically and mentally. I believe these
strong qualities in a man women ad—
mire more than any others.

“We have three children any
parents would be more than proud
.of. (They take after their father.)
~They are all married. The in—laws?
Well, we just love them.

"-“Several years ago my husband

. began calling me ‘Duck’ for a pet
name (I really believe it’s because I
waddle so when I walk), so I call
him ‘Drake’.

“One very important thing is to
have your morning prayers together
on your knees the ﬁrst thing on
arising. There are scores of things
to learn in married life. Each pair
has their own. difficulties and prob-
lems to work out for themselves. It’s
sport in a way, a life work, an in-

itricate game, yes, hard work—but

7it’s worth the venture.——'Duck’.”

MY >WILD IRISH ROSE ’
If you listen, I’ll sing you a sweet little
song
or a ﬂower that’s new drooped and
dead; ,
Yet dearer to me, yes, than all of its

mates,
Though each holds aloft it’s proud
head.

’Twas given to me by a girl that I know: ~ '

Since we’ve met, faith, I’ve known no
repose,
She is dearer by far than the world’-
brightest' star, ‘
And I call her my wild Irish Rose.
O
Chorus:
My wild Irish Rose, the sweetest ﬂower
that grows,
You may search everywhere, but none
can compare
With my wild Irish Rose,
My wild Irish Rose,
The dearest ﬂower that grows,
And some day for my sake she may let
me take
The bloom from my wild Irish Rose.

They may 'sing of their roses, which by
other names ’

Would smell just as sweetly they say:
But I know that my Rose] would never
consent . ‘

To have that sweet name taken away.

'Her glances are shy whene’er I pass by

The ﬂower where my true love grows;
And my only wish has been that some day
I may win
The heart of my wild Irish Rose.

The Little Shepherd of Lava Fake.—
By Albert Cooper Allen. A story of the
West; a new West, where the ﬂivver re—
places the old time cow pony, and the
courts are substituted for the rattle of
gunshots which formerly meted out justice
to offenders. A touch of mystery, of love,
and the ﬁnal unwinding of the tangled

skein, make a story that will be read
with enjoyment by lovers of the real
West. (G. Howard Wa't‘t, Publisher. Price

Betty Better bought some butter, but
she said, “This butter’s bitter. If I put
it in my batter it will make my batter.
bitter.” But she put the bitter butter in
her batter and it made her batter bittter,
so she said, “I’ll buy a bit of better butter
and put it in the bitter batter and it will
make the bitter batter better.” So Betty
bought a bit of better butter and put it
in the bitter batter and made the bitter
batter better, so ’twas Betty Botter who
bought a bit of better butter to make the
bitter batter better.-—Marie Krull,’ Brant,

N at Full-Fledged' Scouts

This gives us 22 members in the tribe,
a pretty fair start. The Souting Editor
wants to remind all the members that
they are not full—ﬂedged Scouts and are
not entitled to their certiﬁcate and badge
until they have passed the Tender-foot
tests.

To do this, every member must have
an ofﬁcial Boy Scout handbook. This con-
tains the things that a Scout must learn.
It can- be purchased in any large city
where there» is a. Scout organization, usu-
ally at book stores and: such clothing
stores as are designated “oﬂ‘lcial Scout
outﬁtters." The. book costs 50; cams. Ii!
you cannot obtain it near home, send 55
cents to the Scouting EditOr or THE
MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER and he will
mail: you: a. copy. The extra 5- cents is
for postage. ~

Six Sent in Cards

These six boys are the only ones out of
the 22 now registered who- have sent in
their Tenderfoot test cards. The others
must pass this test and send in their
cards at. once if they wish, to remain in
the tribe. They are not members in good
standing now and cannot be listed as
members at all unless their test cards_
are sent in soon.

Here are the six in good standing: El-

Going to Camp?

Summer time is approaching and with '
it most Boy Scouts are thinking of camp.
Lone Scouts can go to camp, too. All the
Scout councils in the larger cities con-
duct camps and will be glad to accomo-
date Lone Scouts who live near enough to
go to their camps.

Write the nearest Boy Scout headquart-

spite oi! the hundreds of dollars
* we have spent in our drive

against rural thieves, we are at
times unjustly criticized inrthe pay-
ment of our $50 rewards. 'On one
or tWO occasions we have had folks
write in after we have told the story
of one of our rewards and tell us
that they themselves or someone else
should have been paid the reward.
We carefully investigate every detail
of each case and in case cl! a dispute
the decision is made by the ,proSecut—
ing attorney. Even when the case is
clear out in every respect, we consult
the sheriff, deputies, prosecuting at—
torney and often the trial judge. To
illustrate this point, I want to quote
a letter from the prosecuting attor-
niey of Monroe county in regard to
the claim of Wesley Hanna and Les—
ter Hanna of Erie, Monroe county.
There was a dispute in this instance
and in all probability the other party
in the case will feel we were unfair
to them but here is what Edgar G.
Gordon, the pmsecuting attorney has
to say about the situation.

“The Sheriﬁ advises in satisfaction
of your inquiry that the men who
gave the original information result-
ing in the conviction of McDonald
and Thomas, chicken thieves. were
Wesley Hanna, and Lester Hanna of
Eric, R. F. D., Michigan. They
aroused John A. Geyman who was
having chickens stolen and whether
or not they put in the sheriff call
they Were diligent in taking their
share of the little duties that aroma
surrounding the discovery of the
thieving. Geyman was asleep or in
total ignorance until these two broth-
ers coming home from work at mid-
night, made the discoveries, so do
not be fooled into giving the reward
to anyone else.”

i 0 III

These brothers are getting our
check for $25 a piece for their good
work in connection with the arrest
and conviction of Tom Thoams and
John McDonald. The Hanna boys
Were returning home from work at
midnight when they discovered two
men stealing chickens from one of
our subscribers, Mr. Joseph Geyman.
They aroused Mr. Geyman who called
the sheriff and the arrest was made
immediately. Tom Thomas was
sentenced to from two to ﬁve years
at Jackson Prison, and John McDon-
ald was sentenced from eighteen
months to ﬁve years to the same
stone house over at‘Jackson. The
litmus brothers are to be congratu-
lated for their
case. Two more thieves are in the
right coop 'at last and there has been
less stealing ‘in the neighborhood

LL you can do for this cow is to

feed a well balanced ration with
lots of alfalfa or clover hay and

then give here one-third pound of-

steamed bone meal on the feed each
day. Often times this will bring
them in heat.

SOMETHING ELSE WRONG

Am writing about some sheep that
are dying oﬁ. They beg-in with a
discharge at the nose, hold their

can’t get up. Don’t seem to be in
much pain. About a week after they
die. Can you tell’what the disease is
and a cure?-e—J. D., St Johns, Mich.

to be snufﬂes but in itself it is

they have something else wrong with
them also; think you better examine

you can ﬁnd; look for stomach
worms also for notty guts: then
write us and tell us what you are
feeding and how much alongwith
the other information.

WARTS ON TEATS '

EAR EDITORz—From time to

time I have seen questions in

M, B. F. regarding what to do
for warts on cow teats and will say
this remedy has been used in our
family for years. It is just lard or
Olive oil. I put it in the palm of my
hands just as I start to milk so it gets
worked well into the warts because
they simply cannot live if kept soft.
Some times it takes two months or
more to get rid of them. After milk-
ing I rub a little more on, and some-
times between milkings if I happen
in the barn. Yours for success.—
Dwight Mick, Benzie County.

QUIET KICKING HEIFER

EAR EDITOR, Noticing “F. F.'s"
request to quiet a heifer that
kicks, I have a two—year—old,

milks as quiet as her mother. I
used a leader in her nose, just have
a string in it and hang it on a nail.
Don’t need to elevate her nose much.
She hardly steps and I did not use
it on her over three times.

Thanks for the remedy for grubs.
I ﬁnd so many useful things in your
papers.———C. S., Kingsley, Michigan.

 

WHITEWASH

EAR EDITOR: Do you think

any of readers would be inter—

ested in this receipt for water-
proof whitewash? First take 62
pounds or one bushel of quick lime
and slake in 12 gallons of hot water.
Second take 2 pounds table salt, 1
pound sulphate of zinc and dissolve
in 2 gallons boiling water. Next
mix these two and add two gallons
of skimmed milk. Mix thoroughly.

Alum added to whitewash prevents
rubbing off.

One pint of molasses added to ﬁve
gallons of whitewash makes it pene
trate wood and plaster surface.

A bar of soap dissolved in a gal—
lon of boiling water and added to 5
gallons of thick whitewash gives it
a gloss like oil paint.

We are all interested readers of
M. B. F. and could hardly get along
without it.—Mrs. Art Felt, Saginaw
County.

Cream SEParators

cream separator in 1878, De Laval Separators have always been in the f
- lead. Practically every detail of separator construction has been De Laval 
originated. As these features have been imitated, still further improvements;
have been made.
Each De Laval has in its day been the leading separator. As a result more ‘
than four million have been made. They are used in every country of the world,‘ r
and there are practically as many in use as all other makes combined.

Now the 1928 “Golden Series” De Laval Separators mark another step 
forWard. They are the crowning achievement in 50 years of leadership an
service to the dairy industry.

They are the most complete,

I

, l

eﬂicient and beautiful cream separators ever‘]

made. They are all that could be hoped for in such a machine and must prove ‘

a source of pride as well as proﬁt to every owner. 4

Some of the improvements are: Beautiful gold and black ﬁnish; come

. pletely enclosed gears; improved regulating cover and ﬂoat; turnable supply J

‘ can; easrer starting and turning; oil window, and the “ﬂoating bowl." 3
e The best way to judge a new “Golden Anniversary” De Laval machine is
to see one, and better still to try it side-by—side with any other separator. Not

one person in a hundred who does that .will fail to choose the De Laval.

“Golden Series” machines are now on display by Authorized De Laval
Dealers everywhere. They will be glad to show them to you, or write to nearest

.IT is: necessary for the growing
chick‘ to have included in the

ration substances which contain
vitamins A, :B, and D, says poultry
nutrition specialists. The lack of
either of these essential factors, will
give rise to stunted growth, a. greater
susceptibility to disease and a. higher
mortality. ' 1 ,

The absence of vitamin A causes a.
nutritional disturbance c a l 1 ed
“ophthalmia,” the absence of B
causes polyneuritis and the absence
of D causes leg weakness.

The best source of A and B in the
ration is whole yellow cornmeal. It
is advisable to use the meal from the
whole grain because in the degermed
cornmeal a greater part of the- vit—
amins have been lost with the removal
of the germ. Cod—liver oil is also an
excellent source of A, whereas wheat
bran is an excellent source of B. Two
Well known sources of the D vitamin
are cod—liver oil and sunlight. Since
sunlight is not always available in
suﬂicient amounts, it is advisable to
add one per cent of cod—liver oil to
the mash.

Although a chick ration may be
complete as far as protein and min-
erals are concerned, unless ample
amounts of these important vitamins
are present, the poultryman will be
unsuccessful in raising the chicks
to maturity.

CRATE FATTENING OF BROILERS

BOUT two weeks before the
broilers or roosters are ready
for market, confine the strong,

vigorous birds in comfortable, clean
coops about 60 inches long, 30 inches
wide, and 24 inches high. allowing
plenty of space for the birds to
move about freely, but not enough
to encourage violent exercise. ,The
coops should be protected from rain
and winds and should be arranged
to allow easy cleaning. Shallow
troughs or long pans must be placed
along the side of the coop in such
a manner as to allow all the birds
to reach the feed at the same time
without crowding.

A good ration for spring chickens
or young roosters weighing 3 pounds
or more is as follows: corn meal, 18
pounds; buttermilk, 65 pounds; and
the remaining 17 pounds made up of
low—grade wheat ﬂour, wheat mid--
dlings, or oat ﬂour. If liquid but-
termilk cannot be purchased the ra—

tion may be altered as follows: corn
meal, 38 pounds; wheat. middlings,
31 pounds; bran, 16 pounds; and
powdered} buttermilk, 15 pounds.
These rations are mixed with
enough water or milk to make a
batter thin enough to pour readily
but not too thin for the birds to
take up with case.

.With the ﬁrst ration, which was
tested by the United States Depart-
mentpf Agriculture over a period of
14 days, 20 to 25 per cent was added,

,Special ﬁnishing by feeding the
birds for 10 to 142‘days in a. fatten-
ing battery is sometimes impracti-
cable. Where such is the case,
proﬁtable gains can be obtained in
10 days by pen fattening.

In penfattening, the birds are

be taken in killing, picking, and

Regardless of the method prac—

mind:

1, Growth should be constant;
2, Restrict the bird’s exercise; 3, Do
not overfeed; 4, Allow birds to be-
come hungry between feedings;
5, Remove birds when “ripe.” Do
not stretch out the feeding period.

 

TAPE WORDI

My chickens have had tape worms.
Gave them medicine and they are
better, and starting to lay. Would
like to know'what causes'them. Also,
I intend getting some brooder chicks
and want to ask, would there be any
danger of small chicks getting them?
—~—O. L., Blissﬁeld, Mich.

APE worms in poultry result be-
Tp cause the poultry pick up tape
worm eggs. Practically all
worms develop in this manner. The
female worm lays the egg which pass—
es out on to the ground and is taken
up by some insect pest, such as
grubs,.ea.rth worms, ﬁles, etc., and
after a. certain period of development
these insects are eaten by the chick-
ens and the eggs hatch out into
worms. 4 ' ’
Unless you thoroughly clean and
disinfect your poultry house and
sprinkle the yards heavily with lime
and spade them under, young chicks
are likely to develop tape worms if
placed in these lots. Use one pound
of concentrated lye to 15 gallons of
boiling water when cleaning the
poultry house. This will destroy the

'worm eggs better than any other

product we know of. To get results
with baby chicks, you should keep
them where no other chicks have'
been kept for a year. »You'should

‘select clean ground for them.

‘V IMPROVING THE  SPEAKER

,O'OD' tone quality is the ambition.

of ev‘ery.radio fan, but few re-
alize this ambition. Equal re-
production of sounds of high and
low pitch is necessary if speech and
_ . music are to be
n a t u r a l a n d
pleasing to the
ear. The high
frequencies are
the more neces—
sary to clear
speech. If you
can easily- dis-
t i n g u i s h the
s o u n d s of the
letters S, F, H,
P, B, _D, T, etc.,
without confus-
ing t h e m y o u
, can be sure your
loudspeaker is getting the high fre-
quencies. The low frequencies, give
a pleasing depth and fullness to
music. The drums a-ndithe bass viol
are almost Completely-lost with a
poor loudspeaker.

Almost all horn type speakers re-
produce the high notes. To respond
to low notes the horn must have a
very large mouth, but even when
this is provided, .the stiffness of the
diaphram prevents the reproduction
of very loud sounds at low fre—
quencies.

Cone type speakers have achieved
their popularity through their bet-
ter handling of low notes. The paper
cone is not so stiﬁ as a small di-
aphram and Can vibrate more strong-
ly. .The low notes will be radiated
much more loudly if the cone is
mounted in a round hole cut in the
center of a large board four to six
feet square. Such an arrangement
is called a.“baff1e board" and it pre-
vents the waves of air pressure from
merely passing around the edge of
the cone without producing sound.
The high priced loudspeakers use a
baﬁle board in the form of a box

 

B. K. Osborn

cabinet, bpen’ in the back, and with
the cone mounted in a hole in the
frent. Major Hoople of “Our Board-
ing House" recently put his loud-
' speaker in one end of a wooden keg.
‘ All joking aside, some such scheme
will make a wonderful improvement
in. the reproduction of low notes
and is well worth trying.

Many cones, while giving good re-
production on the low notes, sound
thick and drummy because they fail
to bring out the high notes. If you
happen to have an old horn type
speaker, even one of poor‘ quality,
try connecting it in series. with the
cone. If the latter has a _‘.‘paper
rustle" on the high notes, a. con-
denser of .002 microfarads connect-
ed across it will put the burden of
these high tones on the born. In one
case this scheme not only gaye‘very
good tone quality but increased the
volume considerably. '

SERVING THE FARMERS~
0 radio program is complete that
does not give attention to the
farmer's desires and needs. The
National Broadcasting Company ap-
preciated that fact when it was or-
ganized and the officials decided to
employ a man who was thoroughly
familiar with agriculture to direct
that part of their programs, Frank
E. Mullen was the man they picked.
Mr. Mullen spent the ﬁrst seven-
teen years of his life on the farm
and then attended Iowa State College
where he took up a course in agri—
cultural journalism, graduating in
1922. The next six years were spent
in the newspaper and farm magazine
ﬁeldnone position being radio editor
of the National Stockman and Farm-
er of Pittsburg. It was while there
that he organized the ﬁrst regular
farm market and weather report
service for Station KDKA. In No—
vember, 1926, he went to his present
position. -

(Continued from Page 3)

their home markets. But that isn’t
the point of the article. It is not a
jusiﬁcation or condemnation of Ag-
riculture that is sought. Will agri-
culture learn? ' That is the question.
It is not suggested that remedies
that were applied to industry and la-
bor will work with agriculture. Agri-
culture is a seasonal occupation. The
weather has vastly more to do with
producing a surplus than does in-
creased or decreased acreage, as is
promptly shown by census ﬁgures.

Business did not shut down busi-
ness to make prices but aims to get
prices and continue to produce. La-
bOr does not desire to be unemployed
to get good wages during employ-
ment but labor eliminates competi-
tion through shorter hours, immigra-
tion laws, etc.

Will agriculture learn? Listen to
the sirens that shout, “You produce
too much, you must be more effi-
cient, you should diversfiy’, your
remedies are radical," etc.

' Does eﬁficiency eliminate our sur-
plus problem? Will any amount of
efficiency make a protective tariff
system effective on a crop on which
we produce a surplus? The farmer
must be efficient but efficiency alone
will not solve the problem.

‘ Diversiﬁcation—a necessary step
when farmers with ﬁxed expenses
face low prices and must produce
more or go broke. From a national
viewpoint it only changes and com-
plicates our surplus problem. Is it
eﬁicient to grow hogs where potatoes
are better adapted? Do we want to,
shut downer change 'our farm‘oper-
ations in order to go on or is it
better economics and sounder sense
'to solve our problem, as has indus-
try and labor, by making it possible
.to operate our farms to a reasonable
capacity and at' a proﬁt?

' ' Legislation

Radicalism—will the ‘ f a r m e r
learn? For ages any legislation of
interest to gagriculture has been
dubbed radicalism, class legislation.
It won't .work! 'But legislation for
_ business and labor'has‘worked. Leg-
islation-is no sure .at all.. In the

'>_~  .,/i

main the farmers must solve their
own problems. But, let’s not be be-
fuddled in our thinking by the cries
of those who like to dodge the real
issue. Agriculture is at a fourth
stage in her economic existence. We
can no longer live off the produce ol.’
our land. Proﬁts have shrunk and
there seems no way of meeting the
situation as an individual. We must
recognize the value of bargaining
power as has labor and industry. I
fear that if we don't do this some
one else will and the farmer will be-
come a peasant and I do not believe
farmers will stand for that.

But—we have gained some bar-
gaining power that farmers have
gained. Will the farmer‘learn? If
he doesn’t we’ll have to start all over
again the long process of building up
an organized agriculture.

We‘ are facing a new economic or--
der so far as agriculture is concerned
and the farmer is ﬁnding out that
efficiency is necessary but that it
only complicates his problem if other
factors entering into the. success or
failure of his business are not given
attention proportionate to their im-
portance. Co—o-perative marketing
has helped but it does not meet the
surplus problem. A third factor,
organization, giving him ability
through group action to gain more
bargaining power and protection to
his industry seems to be the crying
need in meeting a is new economic.
situation in whic the farmer finds
himself. Labor and industry have
gained the right and worked out the
technique of collective bargaining.
Agriculture, through court decision
after court decision, has maintained
its right to 'co-op'erate. Agriculture"
has still to work out the technique
of making‘ organized agriculture
function for the improvement of a
great industry to a degree compara-
ble to what has been done in other
ﬁelds. That agriculture will'do thin

Grain and W001 Maize Stronger Showing Than Livestock

By Market News Service. Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. B. D. A.
(Special to T1111 BUIINIIIS FARMER)

ICE levels around the 1st of

June were a little below the

spring’s highest points, but they
compared strongly with prices a year
ago. Nearly the whole list of farm
products is higher than in June,
1927. The improved buying position
of the farmer has become a mainstay
of hope for a prosperous year in
general business.

Early weather conditions have
thrown some doubt on the prospect
for a heavy productiOn of grain and
cotton, and the same conditions have
hindered or delayed the usual large
seasonal output of dairy and poultry
products and some of the truck
crops. Such a state of affairs helps
keep prices up. Gains and losses the
last week of May were so closely_bal-_
anced that the average level of most
leading products was not far from
that of the week before. Grain,
cotton, and wool made a stronger
showing than livestock and green
produce.

Grains

Hard winter wheat continued to
make favorable progress with mois-
ture generally sufficient over most of
the area. Wheat is heading in
southern Kansas and jointing as far
north as southern Missouri. The soft
winter wheat crop did fairly well but

the condition continues generally
poor. Prices still tend generally up-
ward. North African durum wheat

is now competing with United States
grain in European markets and ex-
port demand has fallen off. Demand
for rye, however, was rather limited
both from domestic buyers and ex—
porters. Corn planting is now prac-
tically completed in nearly all of the
great producing sections, which is in
marked contrast to last year when
considerable areas in the interior
valleys had very little corn planted
at the close of the ﬁrst week in June.
Supplies in some of the central west—
ern markets Were larger than cur—
rent requirements. Oats tended
slightly higher but the new crop
made satisfactory progress and de-
mand became less urgent.

Feeds

Better pasturage has materially
reduced the demand for most feeds
and brought a further decline in
prices of the principal feeds, with
the exception of gluten feed and cot-
tonseed meal. The production of
wheat feeds was somewhat restricted
by the poor ﬂour demand and the
output at the principal milling cen-
ters was the smallest weekly output
since the ﬁrst week in January. All
offerings of wheat feeds for immedi-
ate shipment are being readily taken
but there is little demand for de-
ferred shipments which are quoted
at $1.50-$2.50 below current prices.
The output of alfalfa meal during
April was the smallest for any month
since July. Pastures and meadows
in the central and northern states
showed improvement but were still
backward in the eastern Ohio Valley.
Alfalfa and prairie hay markets held
about steady.

Cattle
Price slashings of unabated severity
featured trading on strong weight
slaughter steers and the better
grades of fat she—stock, particularly
those carrying weight, in Chicago
trading during the last week of May.
Depressing features were an exces-
sive run of heavy steers, an increase
of 19,000 cattle in the week’s aggre—
gate marketings at eleven points as
compared with the week previous, a
Jewish holiday on Friday, which cur—
tailed shipping demand particularly
for weighty cattle early in the week,
and a sluggish dressed beef market,
especially on weighty carcasses and
cuts. ‘ ’

lar wools. Recent arrivals of terri-
tory wools showed staple of longer

good clearance, but increasing fresh
receipts sell 'Iower. Fowls, both
fresh and frozen, are reported in

The Florida potato season is con-
tinuing exceptionally long and ship-
ments of late planted potatoes in the
Hastings district still amounted to
1,300 cars the past week. Florida
has already forwarded. 6,800 cars,
compared with 5,400 all of last sea‘

and Texas to 470 cars, while Ala-
bama shipped 300 and Louisiana 1-80

done by dealers. Lines selling in
original bags continued to move out
of the market as rapidly as received
with prices firm to slightly stronger.

Butter

Although the butter markets gen-
erally have been rather nervous and
unsettled, the underlying position
seems to be rather ﬁrm. For this
time of year, prices in May were
ranging higher than they have been
since 1920. To some extent this
might be accounted for in the late
season. General reports regarding
production conditions are that a
rather sharp increase may be expect—
ed in June, with lower prices not un-
likely.

Eggs

Advices indicate that egg produc-
tion is late but is expected to con-
tinue over a longer period than last
year. Many feel that while there
will probably be less eggs than last

our last quotation. Business is rath-
er quiet with the supply ample to
take care of demand, which is very
limited at present.

The wool market ‘Was' possibly a
bit quieter last week, but prices were
ﬁrmly maintained, and if there was a
tendency it is against the buyer, notm
withstanding the. fact that the goods
markets have given» poor encourage-
men to the wool merchant. on ae-v
count of the adverse, weather.

The west is being rapidly cleared
of wool, with interest focused on
Texas at the moment, when best 12-
months clips have been selling on the
upper side of $1.15, clean atBoston,
and eight-months wools at $1.0~8@
1.10. - ~
Foreign markets are all quiet but
very firm. '* '7 7

Mohair is slow of sale at Boston,
but there is good clearance reported
at the Cape and in Constantinople of
the new clips.

Week of June' 10

 

, Michigan will average normal
or above with conditions good

for planting corn, potatoes, sugar
boots and beans. Germination will
be better this week than next. With
the rising temperature at beginning
of week there will be some showery
and unsettled weather. I
However, it will not be until the
middle of he week before there will
be some rather severe, local storms
with wind and thunder.
Again atthe close of this week
many counties in the State will wit-
ness severe local storms of thunder,
rain and‘wind.

Week of June 17

For the early days of the week of
the 17th in Michigan, temperatures
will be making a downward trend.
:The local storms of last week will
run into this and will be followed by
a sharp change to , cooler. Cool
weather will range in the State until
about the middle of the week. At this
time there will be increased stormi-
ness with scattered showers and
wind storms. With these storms
there will be a rapid increase of the
temperature. . >

With the closing days of this week
the weather will brighten up. There
will be more clear skies, sunshine
and better drying conditions. The
week will end with much lower tem-
peratures in most parts of the State.

Potato Prospects

Supplementing our weather fore-
cast for the summer months in

intentions on potato planting this
year, we foresee a large crop and low
prices this fall. The potato yield is
expected to be very good providing it
gets by the early season satisfac-
torily. Based upon weather condi-
tions alone, we do not believe the,
1928 potato crop will be bothered
much with scab or blight, at least we
do not look, for any late blight to
take down the yield this (all.

 

EXPECT N0 DAMAGE FROM
BEAN BEETLE
HAT no commercial damage will
be done to beans in Michigan
by the Mexican bean beetle
within the next two years is the opin-
ion of the Department of Entomology
at the Michigan State College.
Last year a few of the beetles
were collected from southeastern
Michigan counties. An ordinary ob~
server would have failed to notice
that the beans in the ﬁelds where
the beetles were found had been
damaged at all.
Michigan bean growers are advised
by the Department of Entomology to
disregard the presence of the beetle
in making plans. Control methods
for this pest are known. These meth-
ods have made the growing of beans
possible in sections where the beetle
is present in serious numbers.
This insect is a member of the
common ladybug family, and resem-
bles the well known members in
shape and size. It is yellowish‘
brown in color, and the outer Wing
covers are ornamented with sixteen
or more black dots.
A complete description of the in-
sect, its life history, and effective
control measures are given in Cir-
cular Bulletin No. 107. published at
the Michigan State College. Illus-
trations in the bulletins show both
the adult and larvae stage of the
Mexican bean beetle. -

Life -Polarine.' , ’ " 

OTHING matters so much to a tractor as the oil
it gets. Its life depends on oil! TractOrs go to
the junk heap before their time just for the

want of the right oil. ' I

 

Consider the work a tractor does in the ﬁeld. It has
its nose to the ground every foot of the way—actually -
eating up dust. Not exactly a dainty job!

It’s hot in the engine too. Friction causes heat. Against
the dust and the heat there is only one ' protection—
011— the right oil. ' -

Polarine of the proper grade is the right oil to use be
cause it protects every part of the engine from dust and
the heat of friction. It spreads its smooth ﬁlm between
the moving surfaces, keeping them from contact, ‘pre
venting dirt and dust from grinding them away. Polar‘
ine means much to a hot and dusty engine!

Polarine means a lot to you because it enables you to
get the most work out of your machine. You paid a lot
of money for your tractor. Polarine helps you to get
full value from your investment. '

Millions of men on farms throughout the Middle West
have found that Polarine will lubricate their tractors
with a maximum efﬁciency at a minimum cost. There
is a grade especially made :for your tractor. Consult
chart at any Standard Oil Service Station. Try it! For
Fordsons—use Polarine Special Heavy.
