Supervising Project Work

IS is the time of year when the

Agricultural Instructors of Mich-

igan are busy supervising sum-
mer project work on the farms. The
agricultural high school students
during their sum-
m e r vacations
put into practice
the theory and
knowledge which
t h e y h a v e
learned during
the regular
school year. The
Agricultural. In-
structors, being
very anxious that
these crop or ani-
mal projects are
a sucess in or-
der that they do not cast an inferior
reﬂection upon their teaching ability,
wear out considerable shoe leather
and automobile rubber in looking
after them. Perhaps the cut worms
are after the corn or cabbage; maybe
the potato blight or potato beetles

are bothering. your boy’s potato,

patch; or possibly the wrong rations
are being fed ,to the cows or poultry.
All of these problems are Watched
by the Agricultural Instructor and
the remedy taught to the lad on the
farm. This real teaching and experi-
ence makes him a real farmer and
usually his crops or his animals look
better than do Dad’s on the farm.
All of this training will tend to make
the boy a superior farmer of tomor-
row which he must be if he expects
to make any headway in the agri-
cultural ﬂeld of farming.

Chess Doesn‘t Grow from Wheat
While visiting One of my boy's pro-

_ jects a few days/ago. the lad said:

“I wish you would-explain to dad
that cheat does not grow from
wheat." This is an old question and
many farmers still believe that cheat,
or chess as it is some times called,
grows from an injured wheat plant.
The boy is right; it doesn’t, but I’ll
admit that the evidence looks very
suspicious. The boy’s father took

that

a "drag’across his wheat ﬁeld in the
spring, and‘in the path of the drag
there developed later a very abun—
dant growth, of chess. He also main-
tained that the injured wheat plants
turned tolchess. Although the evi-
dence did rather hear him out, he
was mistaken. - The injured wheat
plants died’and-atheir absence made
,room for the chess, which was either
in the seed wheater laying dormant
in the soil to develop. Mr. Meeks
gave a very good explana’tion‘oi this
matter in his department a few is-
sues ‘ago. We must adjust our ideas
on the chess-wheat question the
same as we do on» the moon-crop
question. We have grown out ‘of the
superstitious age and no longer be-
lieve in such illusions. ﬁYbu cannot
injured; Packard car. and produce a
Ford; you can not injure ﬁeld corn
and develop pop corn, and for the

   

same reason you cannot injure wheat -

and produce chess.

Blight on Potatoes

The wet weather during the latter
part of June and the ﬁrst part of
July has beenfavorable toward the
prepaga'tion of blight in the potato
patch. A good spray program of Bor-
deau mixture on the potato plants
when they are three to six inches
high, and applied every ten days or

"two weeks will aid materially in con-

trolling the disease. Many good po-
tato growers use this spray whether
the blight appears or not as a pre-
ventative. A crop can be saved after
the blight is recognized, however, if
applied at once. Blight is easily
recognized by the greasy appearing
or waterso‘aked spots on the tips and
edges of the leaves. A badly blight—
ed ﬂeld looks as if' it hadybeen struck
by frost. A good potato bulletin can
be obtained by writing Michigan
State College and asking for club
bulletin No. 2.

Ohio's Crop Rotation

A few weeks ago I had occasion to
drIVe through the central and'north
central part of Ohio, and I noticed
a crop rotation which interested me
very much. The hay crop consisted
of an' alfalfa ﬁeld of long standing.
Alfalfa fs especially adapted to that
territory because the soil is naturally

alkaline, it being of a limestone na-
ture. The general rotation then con-
sisted of corn and cats. The corn
ground was manured well before the
corn was planted. The following year
the corn ground was plowed and
sowed to oats. The oats was fertil-
ised and seeded with sweet clover.
The next year the sweet clover was
plowed under and planted to corn
thus starting the short rotation over
again. After the alfalfa ﬁeld had
run for six or seven years the (same

' rotation was started on it. and the

corn and oats rotation plot wasput
to alfalfa. 'I believe this rotation. is

LOONA county is located in the
midst of the cut-over region in
the lower peninsula or northern

Michigan. one of us wit-standing
and most successful farmers. is Sam-

uel P. Hertzler, near the little town '

a of Glennie. The story of this farm-
er’s decided success should prove of
interest for thereason that so many
have tried farming in this section
and, for one reason or another, have
failed. ‘ '

More than one abandoned farm
will be seen in a drive through this
country—a. small, deserted shack,
perhaps another building or two, a
few acres of cleared land, and then
-—the edge of the brush and timber.
One man, seeing these little deserted
farms, called this "“the Country of
‘Blasted Hopes.” It has proved to
be that for many; for others it has
been the land of realized hopes.

Let’s get on with our story of how
Hertzler made a real success of farm-
ing in this section. He came to Al-
cona county from Ohio in 1909 and
purchased a quarter section of cut-
over land. His immediate task was
to clear the land, put up a shack and
barn, and then get the cleared land
in shape for crops. I

His ﬁrst crops the following spring,

were oats and clover seeded together,
corn and potatoes. Though this re-
gion is rather far north for corn, he
has succeeded in getting some ma-
ture corn almost every year since
that time, and for most of these
years he has had a little seed corn to
sell to his neighbors. He is especial-
ly well pleased with Wisconsin No.
113, an extra early yellow dent that
appears to be will adapted to this
section. ’

When he came from [01110, he
brought with him a half dozen pure—
bred Toggenburg goats and for four-
teen years he‘ kept a small ﬂock of
them. They aided very much in pro-
viding an income during those ﬁrst
few years, for threenmonths-old kids
sold readin at $50 to $75 each. '

During his ﬁrst years in Alcona
county, he paid special attention to
dairying, milking as many as twenty
covvs at one time. He says dairying
is one of the greatest opportunities
for‘ this region. He likes to handle
sheep better, however, so the latter
have replaced his dairy herd to a
large extent. Most of the cattle in
the Hertzler herd today are high-
grade Herefords, the. calves being
sold as long yearlings.

Started Orchard -'

One of the ﬁrst things Hertzler
did when he came to this county was
to set aside an acre of ground for
an orchard. ‘The orchard now con-
sists of two and a half acres of apple,
pear and cherry trees. He has found
the Early Harvest and Yellow Trans-
parent the best summer apples for
this country, Wealthy and Duchess
~ of Oldenburg for fall, and Jonathan,
Snow or ’ Fameuse, Northwestern
Greening, Wagner Romanite and
Gano the best winter varieties. The
Bartlett stands at the top among the
pears, and the Early Richmond
among the cherry varieties". The sale

of surplus apples. also iaddspto the a .

farm income. The‘tr'ees are carefully
prunedand sprayed so that fruit or
excellent quality is produced“ Elm

If Samuel P. Hertzler. of Alcona county, was not making a success of his farming he
could not build such a ﬁne ﬁne home as this.

Of his ﬂock until he now has 200
high-grade breeding ewes.

The western ewes he purchased
were bred up with Rambouillet and
rams. Ewes are brought through
the winter on mixed hay, much the
greater part of it a legume, and for
the last six weeks before lambing
they receive two pounds of oats
each, per day. Because of the usual—
ly late spring in this section, the
lambing season begins about the
middle of April and lasts until
about the ﬁrst of June.

From the time they are dropped
until they reach market at Buffalo,
around the ﬁrst of December, the

lambs 'do not know the taste of

grain, yet they are in such goad con—
dition that they generally bring the
day’s top price. Volunteer clover
grows in much of this region, it af—
fonds abundant pasturage, and to its
luxuriant growth .must go the credit
for the lambs' prime condition at
time of marketing.

Hertzler says there is no great
amount of hard work connected with
sheep raising, but when they require
care they must have it at once———or
proﬁts go glimmering. Lambing
time is, of course, a very busy time
on the Hert'zler farm.

Later, when ewes and lambs are
grazing, they are switched from one
pasture to another every two weeks
in order to combat the stomach
worm pest. Springs and small
streams supply an abundance of pure
clean water. Sheds and barns pro—
tect them from cold rains, storms
and snow, for, while sheep are able
to endure considerable dry cold, they
cannot endure a combination of cold
and dampness.

Several Swarms of Bees

For the past several years, from
eight to ten stands of bees have pro-
duced a quantity of honey above
family requirements and the surplus
has found a. ready market at excel-
lent prices. Hertzler says 'he has
also found the bees an important
factor in growing crops for seed be-
cause their work in the ﬁelds makes
for a more thorough pollination of
the blossoms.

For the two-fold purpose of hay
crop and rapid soil improvement,
vHertzler seeded Mammoth clover on
ground which had been cleared of
brush but which still contained quite
a humber of stumps. Later, alsike
and medium red clover were also
grown.

A number of years ago, however,
he tried out white sweet clover, seed-
ing it in the spring with oats. He
found that it yielded well, provided
excellent pasturage and made a good
quality of hay if out when not too
high and rank. He also found this
legume very valuable for its soil-
enriching properities, its root nod-
ules storing up a considerable quan-
tity of nitrogen.

Seeded Some Alfalfa

Six years ago he made his ﬁrst
trial seeding of alfalfa. It was seed-
ed on ground on which sweet clover
had previously been grown and the ,
seed was also inoculated. For the 
ﬁrst four years he used a common 3
variety of alfalfa seed and cut fair- is
ly good crops of hay, but for the '
past two years he has seeded only
the northern—grown Grimm variety
with much better success. The le-
gume produces from three to four
tons per acre on the Hertzler farm.

Instead of seeding it in the spring,
he sows the alfalfa seed late in the
summer. The ﬁeld intended for al-
falfa is plowed late in the fall and
repeatedly disked and harrovved from
the time the ground can be worked
in the spring until late July or the
ﬁrst week in August, by which time
the seed bed is in the very best shape
to receive the seed. ‘The constant
cultivation keeps downs the weeds
and conserves the moisture, the lat:
ter an important point where a hot
spell in summer is not at all unusual.~

Hertzler uses a. seven—inch grain _.
drill for seeding and sows at the rate 
of twelve pounds per acre. He says
this summer-fallowing system gives
him the best stand and most vigorous ,
growth. Last summer a ﬁeld intend- 
ed for alfalfa was found by test to :53
be acid and a fairly heavy application ;'
of marl was made to neutralize the '
acidity. This marl analyzed 95 per,
cent pure lime. :

Hertzler grows a. certain acreage 
of fodder corn each year and he says 
that of all the various roughage 5;;
feeds he has grown this gives him‘ 
the greatest amount of feed per acre. :

He is one of a ring of six farmers 
in his immediate vicinity who own a
co—operative threshing outﬁt and ' 4i;
tractor. It is not a large outﬁt, but . 
it fulﬁlls the requirements very well, ' ' '
and these farmers have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that their threshing;
will be done when they want it done,55
and in short order—there is no waitqi
ing until the custom thresher comes
along. - '

Owns 525 Acres

Hertzler now owns 525 acres of‘
Alcona county land, paid for in full, -_'
of which 65 acres are cleared of ‘4
brush and stumps and 320 acres are} 
partly cleared. , 

He is an all—around good farmerl “a
and what is more, he is a good man-. 
ager, with everything that that im-
plies. There is system in his work
and no putting oﬁ until tomorrow,
what should be done today. Not a.
pound of grain is sold from this
farm; it is marketed in the form of
live stock and thus the fertility is
kept on the farm. The workshop leaks
like a combination of machine shop
and blacksmith shop. '

In addition to making a. real suc-‘
cess of farming, Hertzler has not
been too busy to take a prominent?
part in community affairs. He 11 ‘

PARENTS LIABLE

I would like to know if there is
any law that will compel a child to
pay for things broken in a school-
house, and which one of the school -
board is suppose to look after these
things?—J. E, 'Grand '1‘ r a v e r s 9
County.

VERY person, generally, is liable
for the injury that he does to
others, especially where there is

damage resulting such as the break-
ing of things at school. If the child
is under twenty-one, this responsi-
bility is placed upon the parent.

Matters of this kind can usually

be adjusted between the school board
and those concerned, and a question
as broad as this cannot be speciﬁcally
answered. '

PLANTING “IN THE MOON'

Some time ago I read of inquiries
regarding planting “in the moon.”
Now it is always a safe gamble to
plant things growing above the
ground in the light or new of the
moon, while those growing below
ground should be ‘planted in the.
dark of the moon.

The signs Cancer, Scorpio and
Pisces are best for all planting al-‘-
though Cancer is [the most produc-
tive. Scorpio is good for corn and
the most fruitful of all.

‘equaL

Taurus, Capricornfand .Libra are
second best. Taurus! is best for po-
tatoes and root'crops:fi'Libra“ 'pro-
duces a great pulp..grow:th ‘_and_rOots.
This sign .is also good for. ﬂowers.

The other six signs tend to bar-
renness and are good for; destroying
weeds and noxious growths, especial-
ly between the 1st and. 20th er I
August. Onions and hay may be
sewn in the sign of Sagittarius and
beans and cucumbers in Gemini.

The gathering of seed and harvest-
ing should be done in the old of the
moon in the signs of Cancer, Pisces
and Capricorn. -  v ' .

Now all of this does not amount to
much if-the ground is poor, or seed
poor, or the seedabed has not been

i properly prepared. That, I think, is

the main thing in planting.——Mrs.‘ W.
S. P., Ortonville, Mich. .
HE writer of this letter, hits the

moon _sign question fairly when
she declares the results depend

- upon the kind of seed and. soil in
. which it is planted. The idea of, the

entire plan is that with all conditions
seed planted according to
proper moon positions will bring

. forth the best results.

[According .to the above schedule,

7 the harvesting dates this year fall as

follows: August 3, 4, 12 and ‘13;
September 1, 8 and 9 and October
'5 and 6.———Pritchard’s Weather Fore-

“The Farm Paper of Service"

FARMERS' DAY

Y all means make your plans to attend Farm-
ers' Day at Michigan State College on July
27th, and take a well ﬁlled lunch basket and

enjoy a picnic on the campus. It is your college
again, farm folks, and you are going to get far
more beneﬁt out of it in the future than you have
in the past, especially during the last few years.
We do not recall any time during our acquain-
tanceship with the college when the agricultural
division seemed more interested in its work or
looked forward with such eager interest to what
the future may bring forth. .. This will be a Farm-
ers’ Day such as you never attended before, we
will wager. Do not miss it. Senator Arthur Van-
denberg is the featured speaker.

 

WHO WAS TO BLAME?

RMERS of the corn belt do not seem so busy

. now trying to decide which way they are go-

ing to vote this fall as they are trying to lig-

ure out what happened at Kansas City. Certain

farm leaders, loud in their condemnation of the

administration, promised a huge demonstration

and it turned out like it was a wet ﬁrecracker.

Do you suppose some of these leaders are making

eyes at the high salaried jobs someone will be

getting if the McNary-Haugen bill ever became

a law rather than trying to really assist the
farmers?

 

EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR

8 our good Friend Meeks said in the July 7th
issue, “I have just recently ceased to think
of the 1927 State Fair, and lo, I pick up a
paper and read an advertisement telling all about
the 1928 State Fair." Time certainly dock-ﬂy
and before we know it fair time will be upon us,
perhaps before we are ready for it if we intend to
put up an exhibit. And why not exhibit if we
have anything worth while to show?

Exhibits make the fair, whether it be county
or State. You cannot have an agricultural fair
without good exhibits and the more the better.
Most of us are too much inclined to underestimate
our products before fair is held and then after
looking at the exhibits feel like kicking ourselves
for not making some entries. How often you hear
the remark, “Why we have better than that at
home!" But having something better at home
doesn’t help the fair and it doesn't help you.

There are many reasons why yew-should exhibit
at the fair but there are at least three very good
ones, any one of which ought to be enough to
cause you to enter the'best you have.

One reason is that plenty of good exhibits help
build interest in the fair which helps your com-
“\munity and your State and in turn helps you .per-
sonally. V

A second good reason is that you stand the
chance of winning some money. We know of
' several farmers who exhibit annually at two or
\ more fairs, picking up quite a bit of extra money.
A few of them travel all over the State visiting
and exhibiting at county fairs.  in Septem-

HE team of Dairy Cows and man. has the ,

center of the stage in rural Michigan in must

sections but a new combination is rapidly
ceming to the front and promises to be "just as
popular in certain sections. It is Fruit and. Bees
in” our fruit producing districts. Experiments
show that bees strip the pollen in gathering nectar
and thereby fertilize the blossoms which results
in an increased fruit production. - r

This is in line with Michigan’s diversiﬁed crops
program. Even the fruit grower will not have his
eggs all in one basket, having at least fruit and
honey to market. If there is a State in the
Union where the average farmer has a better
chance to make good year after year we would
like to hear of it.

 

RURAL RELIGION

,HERE are 61,000,000 people living in rural

America today who are not receiving the

inspiring ministrations of religion that
should be theirs, according to Rev. Paul Peterson,
of the'F‘irst Presbyterian Church, of Pontiac.
Rev. H. W. Foreman, director of rural work in
the social service department of the Episcopal
church, New York City, estimates it at 45 mil-
lions. Take either ﬁgure: the highest or the
lowest, and you have something worthy of much
serious thought. ‘ '

There is no doubt about there being much truth 
' in what these gentlemen say but We believe that

in setting these high ﬁgures they should have
said “do not attend church" rather than “not re—

ceiving the inspiring ministrations of religion.” V

With the decline of the old_country church
there has been a decline’in religion to a. certain
extent in rural communities, especially those far
removed from towns and cities. Some of the
members have gone to .town to places of worship
on Sunday, to churches that are far ﬁner than
anything they ever had in the country, where
they listen to sermons that are more polished and
perhaps more inspirational than any delivered by
the poorly paid and equipped pastor of their old
country church. But there are many more who
have not gone to town or city on Sunday, prefer-
ring to do their worshipping at home rather than
travel some distance to a church where they
would feel ill at ease, surrounded by strangers,
many of them dressed in the heighth of fashion.
As long as their humble country church contin-
ued to function they attended there, worshipping
God among their kind, among neighbors they
knew by their ﬁrst names. When the old church

closed because of lack of funds to support it-they '

transferred their place of worship to their ow

home. I

It is here where such men as our own Rev.
Warner are doing their hit. Farm papers all over
the country have added a' rural pastor to their
stair of contributing editors, until we doubt if
there is a section that is not served by at least one
paper that makes a sermon a regular feature.
Their sermons are going into the homes—many
of them at least—to take the place of the country
pastor and the city pastor.
terson and Rev. Foreman have not taken these
faithful servants into consideration, or the radio

which is being used so extensively, in setting their ,

ﬁgures, or if their ﬁgures mean farm folks not
attending church they should so state.

0 PETER PLOW’S PHILOSOPHY o

 

 

 

There is two. kinds of ﬁshermen. There is the
teller who ﬁshes 'cause he enjoys the. sport. An'
then there’s the teller who ﬁshes ’cause he's too
lazy to work.

I see by the paper that Mr.‘ Warden, of the
Moderation League of Michigan, who promised
63,000 signers to a petition so's we could vote on
prohibition this fall got only 6,000 names. Kinda
looks like his ‘wet ideas were “all wet" as far as
most folks are concerned.

Only 234 people were killed on the last Fourth '
of July in this country. The fact that senators
ain’t called on so much to talkron this day any
more may have somethin' to do with the decline
in the death rate. Certainly a teller couldn't be
held reaponsible for what he did after facin' .one
of them gas attacks for a hour or so.

 

Ever hear this one? A teller was drivin'
along the road in hiscar at a fast rate of‘speed
when he had an accident and it turned over. ‘ He
went to the nearest» house to telephone to a A
garage. ,

"Hello," he said. "I've- turned‘ turtle.
you send someone out to help me?"

“I'm afraid not,” replied the new boy who was
none tee bright. “You ain't got the right number.
What you want is the zoo." ‘

'GEI‘TING THE QUACK DOCTORS
FIEW of us realize the large num-
ber of quack doctors that are
_ living off the people in this.
country or appreciate the huge sums
of money they bleed their victims
01 annually. 1
Detroit, said to have around two
hundred quack doctors, recently
started a clean up, the State police
working with the city officials. The
ﬁrst place they raided was called
“Doctors for Men?’ and was operated
by three men, only one of whom was
a physician although all of them
claimed to be. Daily receipts of the
oflice frequently exceeded 1,000 dol—
lars, according to” the records seized
and, while a complete check has not
,Jieen made, oiiicials are of the opin-
ion that the ofﬁce took in well over
a hundred thousand dollars last year.
One of the victims, a foreigner
who has been inn, this country three
'years, was interviewed. On Novem-
ber 23, 1927, he‘had a sore on his
lip that made him nervous so he de-
cided to see a doctor about it. Notic-
ing the “Doctors for Men” advertised
free advice he went to them. But it
turned out their advice was not as
free as it ﬁrst appeared to be. After
an examination the “doctors” de-
clared ‘ it was caused by a venereal
disease and it would cost him $450
for a complete cure. - He assured
them he did not have any money
with him and they said that was all
right, but to give them an order and
his bank book and they would go to
the bank and get it. He ﬁnally con-
sented to do this and when he later.
got his book back he discovered they
had withdrawn $453; the three dol-
lars were for medicine. This left
him a balance of $629. which they
did not propose to let get away from
them, because on December 5th they
told him that his case was much
worse than they had ﬁrst thought

$1,200 “to, be put in A-l condition
again. ' As he. did not have that
amount, they very kindly offered to
take his checkhtor $620 and let him
pay the rest of it in installments.
Three days later he paid ﬁfty dollars
and on December 24th he paid $100
more,- making a total of $1,470, not
including $3 a week for medicine.

5" Affidavits from other vic t i m s
showed payments for treatment of
from a few dollars to $2,000, depend-
ing on how much he bad. They
claimed to be a member of a large
company wit-h offices in all the larg-
er cities, and when the victim failed
to show much interest in their diag-
nosis they would advise one of their
"specialists" would be in town the
next day and. examine him. It was
the business of the “specialist” to
throw dear into the man’s mind so
that they could bleed him to the
limit. Officials who worked on the
case advise that one of the “special—
ists” was a veterinarian and another
a former coal miner from Pennsyl-
vania.

And this is but one oilice in one
large city. Think of the thousands
there must be in the United States,
all of them making good money at it y
or they would not be in it.

 

CORAL GABLES BANIKRUPT

LORIDA’S boom days are recalled
with the announcement that
three creditor companies, listing

claims aggregating $4,050, have
asked a receivership for the Coral
Gables Corporation, developers of, the
largest subdivision project in Flor—
ida. During the time when Florida
real estate was climbing skyward
and prices were going to heights en—
tirely beyond reason this company
b o u g h t pages and double-page
spreads in colors in many of the lead-
ing magazines of the country.

At one time Coral Gables, located
on the outskirts of Miami had a pop—
ulation of 12,000. It was built on
land reclaimed from the wilderness.
An estimate recently made of the
company gave an outstanding in-
debtedness of $29,000,000 with no
available assets for immediate liqui—
dation.

 

THE LATEST IN CATTLE
RUSTLING

DIANA has discovered the latest .

in cattle rustling. A farmer held

an auction sale of 40 dairy cows.
One was bought by a stranger, who
gave the name of “James Brown” to
the clerk. \ As the sale went on
“James Brown” and his purchase
were forgotten until at the end when
buyers were making ﬁnal settlement
before departing for home with their
newly—acquired cows and it was then
learned that he had loaded his cow
into a. trailer attached to his car and
left for points unknown. Those who
saw him load the cow thought he
had made proper arrangement about
taking his before others did, so asked
no questions. Officers are looking
for the man but at this writing have
no clues as to his whereabouts. He
is described as being about 36 years
old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs
around 160 pounds and wears shell—
rimmed glasses. The cow is an un-
registered Guernsey, about half
white, with udder well shaped and a
small ﬁfth teat on the right side.

 have seen rapid development in
"this useful type of apparatus, and
1 there.are now a number of'excellent
'lpressure‘cookers on the market. They
are substantially made of aluminum,
fitted with a steam gauge, 'a petcock
'.'forthe escape of steam, and a .safety
valve. A pressure cooker is prac‘
tically a miniature canning factory
enabling the housewife to get the
high temperature and pressure used
in commercial canning. This reduces
the time of processing, which is im-
portant when considerable canning
is done, and practically eliminates
the danger of spoilage in canning
meats and non-acid vegetables. The
ﬁrst cost of a pressure cooker is ra-
ther high, but it will more than pay
its~way in a large family, as it is ad-
mirable for cooking large joints of
meat, old fowls, etc. As it greatly
reduces the time for general cooking

it is also a fuel saver and time saver, » .

‘ and therefore a money saver.

Pressure canners vary according
to their manufacture and are usually
accompanied by printed directions.
Although these may not give com-
plete information as to the period of
processing, it is advisable to observe
the instructions for operating and
caring for the canner. The following
general rules and precautions should
also be observed: '

1. Pour enough water into the
canner so that the level of the water
’is just below the rack on which the
jars are to be placed. Have the can-
ner on the ﬁre and see that the water
is boiling when the jars are ready to
be processed. 2. Put in the jars.
Adjust the lid of the canner. 3. Have
the petcock on the cooker open until
steam escapes in a steady stream,
indicating that the air has been ex-
pelled. 4. Close the petcock and
keep it closed during the cooking
process. 5. Bring the pressure to
the desired point slowly and note the
time when this pressure is reached.
Process for the required length of
time, keeping the pressure station—
ary during the entire period. 6. At
the end of the processing period, turn
out the ﬁre or remove the cooker
from it. The pressure will gradually
drop to zero. Let the pressure in-
dicator stand at zero for a few min-
utes before opening the petcock.
7. Open the petcock gradually, al-
lowing the steam to escape slowly.
When no more steam comes through
the petcock, release the clamps, open
the cooker, take out the jars, and
seal them immediately.

MORE ABOUT CANNING
\ N SPITE of the length of the arti-
cle on this subject in the last is-
sue, there is still considerably
more to be said before the topic is
covered adequately. However, we
will attempt to be brief. This time
we will touch upon the preparation
and. canning of vegetables. There
are a great many of you, we know,
' who are anxiously waiting to hear
the best method of putting up corn
and peas, judging by the letters of
inquiry we receive.

Sweet Germ—Select corn in the “milk”
stage just before it reaches the “dough”
stage. Can it as quickly as possible
after it is picked. Remove the husk and
silk. Place the corn on the cob in a
tightly covered vessel of boiling water
for ﬁve or ten minutes in order to SE-t
the milk. 'Cut the kernels close to the
cob. The remaining pulp may be scraped
and canned for soup. Pack the corn
loosely in the jars, leaving 1/2 inch space
at top. Add a. level teaspoonful of salt
to each quart. Add boiling water to
within V.» inch of top. Partially seal and
process in boiling water for three hours.
Seal jars, cool, and store them.

Peas—Select young, tender peas for
canning and can them as promptly as
possible after they are picked. Put the
peas in a cheese cloth bag or wire basket
and place in a tightly covered kettle of
boiling water for ﬁve or ten minutes.
Pack loosely in the jars, leaving 1,é inch
space at the top. Add one teaspoonful
salt to each quart and boiling water to
% inch of top. Partially seal and pro-
cess in boiling water for three hours. Seal
jars, cool, and store them. 1

String Beans.——Use only fresh, tender
string beans. Wash thoroughly, remove
strings and tips. If desired, cut pods
into short lengths. Place in a tightly
covered kettle of boiling water for ﬁve
or ten minutes. Cold dip and pack into
jars. Add one teaspoonful of salt per
quart and boiling water to % inch of top:

‘Partially seal and process for two hours
in rbolllng water. Seal jars; cool, and
store them. ’

there ever was a barefoot boy who had any more fun than I did—-
These blistering hot days we are having now remind
me of that happy time. .All summer long ‘my feet knew no shoes and
stockings except~on-Sundays 'or special occasions, and what, a delicious
freedom it was. Of course, when one went berry picking it was neces-
sary to. dig up a pair of wrecked old shoes and some tattered stockings

the woods might offer, but ordinarily the working days of the week

and I shall never forget my sensations the  I accidently stepped
on one that was lying in some deep grass, even though it did belong

And there is another barefoot memory that I shall always recall with
amusement. I had been visiting my grandfolk’s farm up in the hills,
and while there I had ﬁlled the lap of my apron with apples. These
I clutched tightly with one hand while I gavin swung my straw hat

Naturally, the logical place to walk was in
either wagon rut; but, no, being in ﬁne fettle and having no immediate
way of working off my high spirits, I chose to tear down the middle
of the road where the tall grass, milkweeds, etc., reached above my
waist. Half running and half walking in this fashion and not paying
any. too careful attention where I was going, I ran full tilt into a low
sumach bush which harbored a nest of angry yellow jackets. The
apples went one way, the straw hat another, while I made myself as

Picnics.——Isn’t this ideal weather for
picnics? At the end 'of a'hdt summer’s
day -what is more refreshing . than to‘
have supper in the open down, by the.

atop. some towering hill that commands

of an apple tree or in the friendly shade
of some elderberry bushes. .The‘ children
will love it, and you will be surprised how
such a slight change in the day’s routine
will give you a new interest and outlook.

A picnic to many people means hours
of preparation and a kit of bother, but
that is the old fashioned kind. Styles in
picnics have changed, and-now they. re-
quire no more work than an ordinary
meal at home. .The important 'thing to
remember about planning a picnic is to
have it consist of~about the same foods
as you would serve at an in-door meal.
The main reason that picnics and indi— ’
gestion are commonly associated in the
minds of many is that we feel we must
do justice to all the conglomeration of
food that is usually present, and our
poor stomachs simply will not bear up
under the strain. Modern picnics are ap-
petizing for all their simplicity, and a.
great deal kinder to our digestive systems.
Besides they are much less work for
Mother, who can now enjoy herself with
the rest of the family.

If you go Where you can build a
small ﬁre, bacon, wieners, or beef steak
are delicious broiled over the coals on'
long sticks, .or better still an old-fashioned
wire toaster can be pressed into service,
thus making it possible to broil several
pieces at once. \ These may be eaten be:
tween rolls or slices of bread and butter.
Broiled steak is much improved when it:
comes from the ﬁre by the addition of a.
little butter and Salt and pepper. Green
onions, radishes, and tomatoes may be
eaten “out of hand." Milk, lemonade, or
tea, cooled beforehand in the cellar or
elsewhere can be carried along in a chilled
glass fruit jar, if you do not have a ther-
mos bottle. A big wedge of pie, or cake
and cookies with some fruit will serve to
round off the meal and give that satis-
ﬁed feeling.

In case a ﬁre cannot be had, there are
a variety of picnic sandwiches which are
tempting. Did you ever try bacon, to-
mato, and lettuce sandwiches? If not
you have a treat in store. 'Just tomatoes
or cucumbers with crispy leaves of let-
tuce and a touch of salad dressing make
good sandwiches, too. .These are especial-
ly'good with brown bread. Peanu’t but< ,
ter mixed with either mayonnaise or jelly
makes a nice ﬁlling, as does likewise cot—
tage cheeseand jelly. Of course, there is.
always the old standby, sliced cold meat
which the addition of a. leaf or two of let-
tuce improves. It is a good plan to have
two or three kinds of sandwiches so as
to lend variety to the meal. If youtake
meat sandwiches, a potato or bean salad
ﬁts in well, together with other fresh
vegetables that may be eaten from the
hand. There are othervki’nds of' Salad,'
too, which “go well," which will occur to
you when you start planning;

If you enjoy picnics, don’t wait for
Sunday or a holiday to come along to
have one. Make them a regular occur~
rence during the hot days of the summer
and see how your family responds.

EAR, BOYS AND GIRLS: At last 4

I am able to tell you about the

winners in our big drawing
contest and the ﬁne. prizes they re-
ceived: First prize was a large
drawing pad with a set of hard pas-~
. tale and two drawing pencils. Ariel
Danton, of Saranac, won it with a
very pretty, pencil sketch entitled,
t‘A Garden.” Second prize was an-
other but smaller drawing pad with
a set of hard pastels, which Eleanore
West, of Mount Pleasant, won with
her picture of “The June Bride.”
Julia Spiesz, R. 3, Box 73, Fenn-
ville, won third prize, a pound of
modelling clay, with a picture, of a
cowboy. A box _of modelling wax
was fourth prize and it went to
Agatha Smith, South Boardman, who
drew a picture of a nice looking girl.
'I am sure these young artists will
enjoy their prizes very much.

In the “Read and Win" contest,
published in on July '7th issue, the
boys came into their own by captur-
ing ﬁrst and second'prizes. John W.
Crosby, Box 77, Edenville, won ﬁrst
prize and got a ‘Conklin Pencil. A
purple leather diary, as second prize,
was won by Frances Hufnagel, of.
Fowler. One oi? the latest games to
he invented, called “Lindy Flying
Game, was third prize, and Al Pale—
nick, of Bradley, got that. Florence
Kollman, R. 2, Grand Ledge, re-
ceived fourth prize, a vanity set con—
sisting of a small mirror and comb.

Now I hope you will excuse me
for not putting on another contest
in‘this issue, but I am going to take
a little vacation, and I do not want
to start another until I am back to
take care of the many letters. I will
be on my vacation before you read
this but I will be back in time so we
can haVe a contest in the issue of
August 4th. All I will tell you now
is that it will be a new kind, called
a “Bird” contest—UNCLE NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

 

Dear Uncle Ned—I have never had the
courage to write to you before but de-
cided to break the .ice tonight when I
read the letter from “A Wild Flower In
Full Bloom.” «~

I think she is wrong in her ideas of
our President being wrong and old fash-
ioned about girls and boys smoking and
drinking. I fact, I am positive if there
were more boys and girls with the same
idea as our President about smoking and
drinking this world would be a different
place to live in. Don’t you think so
Uncle Ned?

Oh, Uncle Ned, do you have to have a
membership pin to belong to the Club?
We have been taking the M. B. F. for a
short time but like it real well. Am
very interested in the Club and would
like to belong. WOuld you please tell me
how. I could joinyour wonderful Club?—
Viva Reid, .,R. 2, Wayne, Mich.

—Wel , I am glad something caused you
to “break the ice" and now that it is
“broke” I hepe you will not let it “freeze
over again.'.' I think your ideas about
smoking and drinking good. You can be-
long to Our Club without having a pin,
just the same as a person can belong to
a lodge without wearing the oﬂicial pin
of that lodge, but you must live up to
our motto and pledge, and if you do‘

I have read the paper for about a year
and have enjoyed it very much. I for
one do not agree with “Wildﬂower” about
smoking and drinking. I think that smok-

they do not carry it to extremes, and not

is drilled to produce the maximum
yield. There is no crowding of plants
to cut down the number of heads.
There is no skipping to waste valu-
able inches of fertile soil between
plants. There is no unequal cover-

Every seed is placed at uniform depth
and at a uniform distance apart.

ELL, what  hard work on a 1

form in July? I have just
come in from the truck patch

:where I have been basing sweet.

corn, popcorn, mush, cabbage, etc.
_ It was hard work
' ' for I worked
. bud. Butts the
rows were
cleaned out, one
after another, a.
’ sense of satisfac—
tion took poses-
sion 0; me which
fully repaid me
for the effort. I
should liked to
have remained,
and spent the en-
tire forenoon
. l with therhoe, but
there were some letters to write, and
if we get some nice hay weather to-
morrow, I fear the letters would not
be answered. But today there is no
“hay weather” and the remaining
weeds in the truck don’t look good
to me and I like to dig them out. But
letters must be answered and, while
answering one, a look at my date
sheet reminded me that some one
hundred thousand homes in Michigan
would soon be looking for their
July 2Ist BusINEss‘FARMER and now
that the letters'are answered, I feel
like staying by the old pen just as
much as I did by the old hoe. Some-
how when I get interested in any-
thing I like to keep at it until it is
ﬁnished. Seems to me that is the
keynote of satisfaction with one’s
work—being interested. Being in-
terested is a sort of panacea that
cures the various causes of discom-
fort. Aches, dirty hands and soiled
clothes don’t mean much when you
are interested. I don’t believe any
one was ever happy in his or her line
of work when they were not inter-
ested in it. Furthermore, very few
people are a. success in any line of
endeavor unless they have interest
in it.

C t t
The Blacksmith .

The other day we had to have
some special-blacksmith work done.
In order to get a man who could do
it, and then the proper things to do
it with, we drove to three dlﬂerent
towns. But the blacksmith—416
was a man of perhaps thirty-ﬁve
years. His shop was complete with
about all the tools and equipment a
blacksmith shop could have. He was
of the old school. He had a. machine
to help him do pretty nearly every-
thing he was called upon to do. All
around, blacksmiths are going out of
business because of lack of “trade.”

Pshaw, this fellow has business piled
ahead all the time. He has so much
he keeps a man to help him. He does
the forge work and all the precise

work such as electric welding, etc. .

I st ll by his anvil and watched him
a lon time. What exactness he de-
manded of everything he did! Pains-
taking to the nth degree! His hands
were black with oil, and forge dirt
was evidently ground into them. His
face reﬂected the interest he had in
his work. The way he picked up a
certain punch and grabbed a certain
hammer to strike the punch with,
showed he was interested in what he
was doing, for he was doing his best
to do it right and he knew it would

‘ be right, and that a glad word of

approval would come along with the
Shekels when his customer called for
his mended property. Here was a
successful man, a happy man. Hard
work? 'decidely so; dirty‘ hands,
hard to wash? decidedly so; hungry
at meal time and long before? de-
cidedly so. All he wanted to eat-
when meal time came. Surething,
who could want more"? After‘spendi

police and court troubles.

The longing for the cozy life and
the desire for luxury to the extent
that crookedness is resorted to in or-
der to gain them, is entirely the news
of the cities so tar. { May it ever be

Commdn Sense

A man said to me the other day,
“Our car is as good as it. ever was.
It is a little out. of date I know. I
also know a bank where they will
gladly cash my check for the price
of a new one, but for a while, at
least, while the old bus runs good,
I am going to enjoy the money being
in the bank, and ride in the old car
knowing I can have a new one when
I really need it. A new car would be
an absolute luxury for me, and we
can hardly afford luxuries just ye ."
Common sense; in this ageit is very
uncommon sense. This man’s rea-
soning is summed up in the old jib,
“You can’t eat your cake and still
have it to look a .”-- I. might add that
here is a man who does his own
thinking, and I don’t know but. what
"Do your own thinking” would be
a good slogan to“ hand the farmers
right now, so they may have it for
reference as the polite, political poli-
ticians tell them what to do, and how.‘

more apparent as we try to under-

person is a potential living stone.
When on his way he meets the Christ
through faith and lover he becomes
one actually. When joined to his

great teaching that God abides in

our life is saved and hold together

of scattered locations and the carnal
aspect of surface conditions. there
are signs that deep down at the bot-4
"tom of things the Kingdom of God is

"What greater calamity can befall
a nation than the loss of worship."
says Carlyle. But human vanity
rules out God. Multitudes are un-
heeding. Have you got the altar in
the right place in your house? Or
did you leave it out altogether? Life
lacks the chietest piece of furniture
without an altar. Isn’t that the mat-
ter with much of modern life? .It

nores the Altar. Torn down altars
are prophetic of disaster ahead.
Says Paul. “We are a sweet savor
of Chi-kt unto God." We are it we
burn; it we make life ’a living sacri-
ﬁce. Nothing is harder. but nothing
is easier. Hard for one who would
keep plumed in selﬁsh pride and dig-
nity. Easy for one who makes
Christ the center and the inspiration
of one’s life. -

Only this is "acceptable to God
through Jesus Christ." It Jesus only
has been charged to build our house
and arrange the furniture in it, then
let no open the doors for him to come
in. But alas, for many! The sacred
shrine swings open to the things that
pollute and destroy. “Know ye not
that ye are the temple of God?" This
is a solemn appeal to keep the heart
clear of ﬂeshly lusts and worldly as—
pirations. The body in which we live‘
in this time world is a thing of God.
and is made for sacriﬁce and not

she yielded as much as 87.94 lbs. of
butterfat in one month, and she car-
ried calf 169 days while making this
splendid record.

COST OF KEEPING EWES

Please advise me the cost of keep-
ing breeding ewes—A. E. G., Ing—
ham County. .

THE cost of keeping breeding ewes
varies . somewhat in different
.parts of the State in accordance

with the quality of feed and care

given from $6 to $9 per head with a

probable average of around $8 per

head per year. If the ewes are poorly

wintered so as to get through with a

minimum cost they shear a lighter

clip of wool and raise a smaller per-
centage of lambs, whereas liberal
feeding increases the weight of 'ﬂeece
and proper management makes pos-
sible as large as 150- to 175 per cent

-;.

  

of lambs with a small ﬂock of mut-
ton bred ewes.

Fine woohewes are smaller, stand
more crowding, will run in larger.

_ﬂocks and- require, somewhat less

feed~per hea'd than large mutton bred
ewes so that they may be wintered

“SOUR. MILK FOR CALVES

Do calves do well on sour milk?
-—0. S., Paw Paw, Mich.

‘ OULD not recommend the feed- '

ing of sour milk to calves. It

is likely to result in a short
time digestive trouble. ,, It is prac-
tically impossible to have milk of the
same sourness each time and it is
very diﬁicult to keep the containers
clean. For these two reasons you- are
likely to get scours in a very short
time, which is always serious and
sometimes fatal. Better feed the
milk sweet.

FEEDING POWDERED SKIMMILK

We would like to know the food
value of powdered milk bought
from the milk condensary.~ We are
feeding it to a calfwe are raising
and two hogs—C. F. S., Dansville,
Michigan. I ,

T HAS been found that calves ~do

very well on powdered skim-milk

when fed at the rate of one pound
of skimmilk to nine pounds of water.
This will bring the milk back to
about normal condition. Verygood
results have been offered with this
when used in these propertions.——

LACKS 'APPETITE

I have a heifer giving milk that
doesn’t seem to have much appetite.
She is thin and of course doesn’t give
much milk. Other Jerseys on same
feed doing well. Could you advise
what to give her?—F. B., Grand
Blanc, Michigan.

WOULD suggest that you give this
I cow night and morning for not

longer than 30- days one table-
spoonful of Fowler’s Solution of Ar-
senic on some ground grain. If this
does not bring her to her appetite
properly, better call -~in your veterin~
arian and have her examined.

siderably with sore and tender front

advice—41. D., Macomb County.

HRUSH of the foot is simply an
T infection around the frog of the
foot which eats away part of the
horny tissue and leaves the foot ten-
der. Clean the cleft of the frog out
properly with some blunt instrument
such as the handle of an old table-
spoon, then dust a. little powder in

cover this with a piece of cotton

the powder in place as long as pos-
sible. This dressing should be ap-
plied once each day.

PLAN NEW FEATURES FOR
FARMEBS’ DAY

HE “Combine,” labor saving de—

T velopment in the farm machin-

ery ﬁeld which handles harvest-
ing and threshing in the same oper-
ation, will be seen at work under
actual ﬁeld conditions as one of the
features of Farmers’ Day at M. S. C.
on July 27, according to plans of
the college - authorities.

Inspection of hundreds of acres of
experimental work on\ the college
with the “Combine” demon—
stration as the high light, will occupy
the morning of the day. The experi-
ments and test work will cover: farm
crops, soils, horticulture, poultry,
livestock—in fact all the standard
work of the extensive college experi-
ment station. .

A new type of entertainment is
also under consideration for the
afternoon meeting, according to ten-
tative plans of the Farmers’ Day
committee. Historical pageants, trac-
ing the early development of the
agriculture of ,Michigan, are being
planned to supplement the music and
speaking program- - -'

Asthma Left Him
Four Years Ago

No Sign of It Since. Tells How He Found
, Lasting Relief.

 

 

Elderly people, made miserable by asth-
ma or bronchial cough, will ﬁnd cheer m
a letter from 0. M. Oleson, age 65, Route
2, Eagle Grove, Iowa. He says;

“I had asthma for 15 years. All that
time I wheezed, coughed and choked until
at timesll could hardly‘breathe. After
trying everything, I ﬁnally started taking
Nacor in April, 1922. It gave me wonder—
ful relief and I started to improve every
month. The last trace of asthma left me
in 1923. I have taken no medicine for
over 4 years and have had no asthma, so I
am now sure that I am rid of that terrible
disease.”

Mr. Oleson is only one of hundreds who
have told how their asthma left and never
returned. If you suffer with asthma or
bronchial cough, you will enjoy reading
their letters, which will be sent free by
Nacor Medicine 00., 590 State Life Bldg.,
Indianapolis, Ind. ‘ Also a bookl¢t of valu-
able information about these diseases will
be sent you. This free information may be
just as helpful to you as it has to thou—
sands of others. No matter how serious
your case, write for it today.—(Adv.)

RErtAoE FLOOR EACH FALL

‘ WITH PULLETS - ,

, HE practice of a large percentage

T of poultry men 'of keeping birds

on through the second year is

a very costly one. Only in cases

where eggs are to be hatched is one

warranted in keeping the yearling
birds in the ﬂock.

There are three very good reasons
why the entire poultry ﬂock should
be replaced by pullets each year.
They are: ,

1.. Yearling birds' will sell for
more than two year olds.

2. Production and proﬁt per bird
during the second year is much low-
er.

3. Diseases are reduced by about
three—quarters by such a practice.

The ﬁrst factor requires no ex-
planation—it is self evident.

The second requires some consid-
eration and explanation. Experi-
ments have been carried out in Mich-
igan,‘ Nebraska, Kansas, Connecticut
and New, Jersey comparing the pro-
duction of birds during the ﬁrst and
second twelve months of laying. In
every single case the birds produced
.more eggs the ﬁrst twelve months.
The lowest increase was a ﬂock of 33
White Leghorns at the Michigan
State College Experiment Station
that produced 21.7% more eggs dur-
ing the ﬁrst twelve months. The
highest increase was a ﬂock of 100
White Leghorns at the Connecticut
Experiment Station that produced 7 '1
percent more during the ﬁrst 12?.
months. The average 13 ﬂocks total-
ing 1,446 birds of both light and
heavy breeds was 30% more eggs
during the ﬁrst twelve months than
during the second period.

Because pullets will be in produc-
tion during October, November and
December _while yearlings will not
cOme into production till December.
or January the average price per
dozen of eggs will be higher for a
ﬂock of pullets than for yearlings.
This will result in greater proﬁt from
pullets.

If pullets replace yearlings in the
ﬂock each year diseases such as T. B.
will be reduced considerably.

Now is the time to plan to replace
ﬂock with pullets, Do not depend
on buying pullets this fall. You may
be disappointedr—K. Ousterhout.

CHOOSE NEW SITE FOR FARM-
ERS‘ DAY
NEW site has been chosen for
the annual summer Farmers’
Day meeting at the Michigan
State College July 27. It will be an
ideal location for the big general
meeting in the afternoon and more
conveniently located to the experi-
mental plats, the livestock barns and
the demonstrations and contests
which will attract the interest of
the visitors during the morning.

A platform for the speakers and
entertainment features will be erect—
ed on one bank of the Red Cedar
River near the farm lane bridge.
while the audience will be seated on
the opposite bank which forms a nat—
ural amphitheatre and affords ample
shade. The front campus of nearly
100 acres and the shaded banks of
the river which form ideal picnic
grounds will, of course, be available
to the visitors as usual. '

New and unusual forms of enter-
tainment and contests are being
planned for both the morning and
afternoon programs. Among the
demonstrations, the use of the com-
bine harvester is expected to be one
of the most important due to its re-
cent use in the state and the general
interest in more economical methods
of harvesting in Michigan. .

Valuable and interesting informa-
tion, the result of experimental work
conducted during the past year with
livestock and crops, will be revealed
by members of the college staff who

-will be stationed at strategic, points.
to explain the work and the/practical .

application of the ﬁndings.

OU have heard a great deal about high analysis
fertilizers—but perhaps have never used them-,—
have never realized their real proﬁt-making
possibilities. '
Armour’s BIG CROP High Analysis Fertilizers have
been accepted by this country’s farmers for the simple
reason that they have helped them make more proﬁt.
Armour’s BIG CROP is ideal for use in winter wheat
seeding.
The cost per pound of plant food on the {anti isless
with Armour’s BIC CROP than with lower grade fer-
tilizers. The cost of handling is, in many cases, cut in

half. Farmers have found that this saving alone has
covered the cost of applying.

An application of Armour’s BIG CROP High Analysis
Fertilizer this fall should mean increased proﬁts for you
at harvest time. There is an Armour BIG CROP
Dealer near you. Consult him. He will tell you what
these “last word” fertilizers have done for other farmers
in your county, and will advise you upon the analysis
best suited for your soil. '

WOMAN wmsoon'ms'r on arms
onus man

 

RS. HazsnA. runes, Armada.
has been awarded a prize of
ﬁfty, dollars for suggesting the

best name for a group of the 'lead- _.

lug sugar beet growers of Michigan.
The name contest, conducted by

sugar companies of _Michlgan and'

Michigan State College, was entered
by several hundred Michigan farm-
ers or members of their families.
Farm women were especially re-
sourceful in suggesting names.

The title suggested by Mrs. Tubbs,
“Banner Beet Growers," was selected
after the hundreds of titles had been
reduced to those sent in by J. Lis-
combr Merrill; Helen Paxton, Mc-
Brides; Mrs. Everett Henderson,
Memphis; M. E. Sellers, Akron; 

1

is Gilman, Vandalia; Mrs.
Klahn, Lowell: Jessie E. Yawger,
Hale; Mrs. L. H. Bates, Romeo;

Harry Trussler, Yale; Arthur John-
son, Bangor; Mrs. Theodore Doll,
Forest Hill; and Mrs. Maud Steele,
St. Charles. *

Fifty oi the leading sugar beet
growers of Michigan have been nom-
inated. for places in the ﬁrst year's
group of Banner Beet Growers.
Twenty of these men will be chosen.

Selection of members of the group
will be determined by their success
in producing a crop of beets by meth-
ods which are practical and which
leave the grower a fair proﬁt for his
work and the capital which he has
invested. ‘ .
