What AbOut the Price of Beans This Fall?

Your Assistance is NeededtoJDetermine a air Price at Which to Start the 1928 Crop

' R. FARMER, what are you go-
M ing to receive for your bean

crop for 1928? The price which
you will receive depends almost en—
tirely upon the bean growers of
Michigan and their, wise and judi-
cious co-operation in the matter of
ﬁxing aust price for this cash crop
Michigan, product. When Senator
Vanden‘bur'g tel-d the farmers at State,
College that any correct marketing
system must include the producer’s
voice in the matter of. prices, he at
least stressed a true and workable
premise as far as the bean market in
Michigan is concerned.’

The price of any product depends
upon the supply and demand of the
product together with a judicious
and proper marketing of such pro-
duct. With these two factors in
mind let us study the bean situation
as it exists today in our country.
Michigan produces 65 per cent of
the white pea beans grown in the
United States. Idaho produces about
75 per cent of the great northern
beans grown in this country. There-
fore it can be seen that these two
states practically control the white
bean industry of America and by
proper co-operation of growing and
marketing facilities of the growers
organizations they can practically
control the white bean market.

Since the bean consumption is
moreor less ﬁxed and since the bean
production area is' semewhat limited
and as a result can be quite' ade-
quately controlled as far as price in-
ﬂuencing is concerned, let us now
turn to the bean production proper
for this year.

Idaho Production

According to the Idaho cr0p report
and the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture crop report, the bean production
for Idaho will be approximately the
‘same for 1,928 as it" was for 1927.
These reports state that from every
angle it looks like the yield will run

By V. O.

at least four bushels less than last
year: The increase in acreage will

just about offset the loss in yield. _ In

a personal conference with Mr. C. R.
Detwiler, Manager of the Southern
Idaho Bean Growers association, a
cooperative organization embodying
over .700 growers, the same state-
ment and view was veriﬁed.

Similar conditions exist in Michi-
gan according to data obtained from
Michigan crop reports and from ob-
servations obtained by parties who
have made a study of the bean situ-
ation of this State.

No More in Michigan

James N. McBride, former State
market director and former member
of the State legislature and others.
interested in the matter made a per—
sonal survey, traveling over 500
miles through the bean ﬁelds of Mich-
igan gathering data relative to bean
production of 1928. From personal
observation and from interviewing
elevator operators they have con-
cluded that there will be no more
beans in Michigan in 1928 than
were harvested in 1927. This report
also assumes continued good harvest-
ing weather.

This condition is due to the dam—
age by wet weather in the largest
bean growing counties of Michigan
such as ~Huron and Gratiot counties.
If a line were drawn east and west
on the north line of Shiawassee coun-
ty, above that, the damage will be at
least 50 per cent if. not higher. Many
bean ﬁelds will never be harvested.
Below this line mentioned some very
good crops of beans are reported.
Concurrent examination made by one
of the best posted bean men in Mich—
igan who was in 142 bean ﬁelds is in
agreement with the conclusion pre-
viously made—~namely no larger crop
possible than in 1927 which was

BRAUN

around four and one half million bu—
shels.

Since we have clearly in mind the
production of beans from a terri—
torial and quantity standpoint now
let us turn to the fac or of price
which is of more interest to the bean
growers.

Last year Governor Green ap—
pointed a bean growers commission
consisting of James McBride, chair-
man; A. B. Cook, and other members
to study the bean situation in Michi-
gan and recommend to the bean
growers a volunteer price. The
price recommended to the bean
growers was $5.00 per hundred—
weight. The canners set the price
to start at $4.50 to the grower but
few beans were bought below $4.80
to $5.00. Speculative buying was
cautious in the beginning, but when
it developed that the yields were
light,‘ beans advanced, to around
$10.00; thus last year’s bean prices
varied practically 100 per cent from
low point to peak. The good money
made by the buyers last year inclines
them to buy beans this year and hold
in storage for the almost sure ad-
vance.

What Shall Low Figure Be?

Now the big point is: where shall
the buying price start? The buyers
seem to be willing to start at $6.00
per hundred. Their argument is that
if they pay more, Great Northerns
from Idaho and Montana. will sup-
plant our beans. An attempt is
being‘ Imade to buy these at $5.00
which with a freight rate of $1.05
to Chicago common points is equiva—
lent to $6.00 for Michigan beans.
They also point out that if more
than $6.00 be paid for beans,
foreign stock will come over the tar—
iff.wall which places a duty of only
$1.75 per hundred on beans. No

doubt the duty is low, but the history
of last year’s advancing market in
the face of the foreign beans coming
in would indicate that until at least
$7.00 was reached that foreign beans
were not a serious factor in making
low prices. There are always a few
beans imported to meet the demand
of the immigrant, but likewise there
are always some exported to Cuba
and other various points. The tariff
is always a good talking point but
last year’s marketing is in evidence
that this factor was not working.

Shall It Be $7.00?

The Michigan starting price of
$7.00 hinges more or less on an Ida--
ho price of $6.00. Last year when
the Michigan bean committee under
James N. McBride ﬁxed the price at
$5.00; the fact was immediately her—
alded all over Idaho with an imme-
diate advance in price. Information
gathered from Idaho at the present
time indicates that they can start at
a $6.00 price, and if so Michigan
ought to be able to open the bean
market at $7.00. A $7.00 price to
Shiawassee county means a probable
increase to the grower over a $6.00
market of at least $250,000 estimat-
ed on present crop conditions. To the
State close to two and one-half mil—
lion. Governor Green has said did
farmers must have a fair price for
beans this year. I was asked to tab—
ulate the views of Shiawassee county
growers from the reports made
through the Argus-Press. Later I
was asked to do this through THE
BUSINESS FARMER for the entire bean
territory. This article is written so
that bean growers may have full
information to know of the supply.
In return I am asking the price-view
of every interested bean grower. Mail
your letter or postal card not later
than September 10, and address it to
me in care of THE BUSINESS FARMER,

The’Cand'idates and Their Programs of Relief for Agriculture

- By MILON GRINNELL

O-LITICAL dopesters are practical-
ly all agreed that this country
has one of the greatest political

battles before ‘it this fall for the
presidency of the United States that
the people have ever seen. Both
parties have'nominated their strong—
est men, two of the oustanding public
men of the age, and both of them
'have. reputations of being ﬁghters. In
years past the Democrats have had
little money but this year ﬁnds them
with plenty of it, which puts the ﬁght
on a fairly even ba‘sis. Neither party
is in a position to truthfully say that
their candidate is practically elected.

Both the Republican and the Dem-
ocratic parties are working hard to
land the farmers’ vote and consider-
able time was given over to the sub—
ject of farm relief in the acceptance
speeches of both Herbert Hoover and
Alfred E. Smith. Both addresses
were broadcast by radio into every
corner of the country. ,Millions of
voters listened to them while a still
larger number read them in the news-
papers the following day._

Many of our folks heard or read
them but as one was given on August
11th and the other August 22nd prob
ably few made a comparison of What
the .two candidates had, to say re-
garding- their. plans forfheljping, agri—.

 Hoover’s Address

 vOnt-he afternoon of August 11th
‘ Hp rt ‘Hoover, Republican ‘candi-
data  the-:p‘rutdeney ~ of ,, the United

We ,are. giving; brieﬂy, for ‘.
7 mason the“ promises - of-

 

States, was officially notiﬁed of his
nomination and his address of ac-
ceptance was broadcast to the world
from California.

In regard to agriculture Mr. Hoo—
ver stated, “The most urgent eco—
nomic problem in our nation today is
in agriculture. It must be solved if
we are to bring prosperity and con-
tentment to one—third of our people
directly and to all our people indi~
rectly. We have pledged ourselves to
ﬁnd a solution.”

He then reviewed the unsatisfac-
tory condition that has existed in
agriculture since long before the re-
cent war, and was of the opinion that
about the only proﬁt midwest farm-
ers have made in several years is
from the slow increase in land values.

Taking up the idea of larger and
fewer‘farms to solve high production
costs and bring about more. orderly
marketing, he declared the farmer
has proven himself able to increase
the skill of his industry .without
large operation, producing 20 per
cent more today with the same acre-
age and personnel than he did 8
years ago.

“Farming is and must continue to
be}: an individiialist'ieaibusiness of
small units, and, independent owner;
ship,” said? Mr.‘Hoove;r.f “The. farm

is more than a business‘,ii‘t. is a state .

of living. We do not wish it com-
verted into, a mass production ma-
chine.~ Therefore, if the farmers’ po-
sition is to be. improved by larger

operations it must be done not at the
farm but in the ﬁeld of distribution.”
Favors Tariff

An adequate tariff is the founda—
tion of farm relief in the estimation
of the Republican candidate and he
promised to use his office and irflu—
ence to give the farmer the full ben-
eﬁt of the tariff, if he is elected this
fall.

Transportation charges were also
discussed and he declared himself as
strongly in favor of modernizing our
inland waterways. This would in-
clude “not only the Mississippi sys-
tem with its joining of the Great
Lakes and of the heart of mid—
west agriculture to the gulf, but also
a shipway from the Great Lakes to
the Atlantic.” 7

“But we must not stop here,” de-
clared Mr. Hoover. “An outstand-
ing proposal of the party program is
the whole-hearted pledge to under—
take the re-organization of the mar—
keting system upon s0under and
more economical lines“ We have al.-
ready contributed greatly to this
purpose by- the acts supporting farm
cooperatives, the establishment of
intermediate credit banks, the regu—
lation of stockyards, public exchang-
es andthe eXpansion.,of .the depart-
ment .of; agriculture. The, platform
proposesito go much, farther. It
pledges the creation of a federal farm
board of representative farmers to be
clothed with authority and resources
with which not only to still further

pledged to these proposals.

aid farmers’ cooperatives and pools
and to assist generally in solution of
farm problems but especially to build
up with federal finance, farmer—
owned and farmer—controlled stabil-
ization corporations which will pro—
tect the farmer from the depressions
and demoralization of seasonal gluts
and periodical surpluses.

“Objection has been made that this
program, as laid down by the party
platform, may require that several
hundred millions of dollars of capital
be advance-d by the federal govern—
ment without obligation upon the
individual farmer. With that ob—-
jection I have little patience. A na--
1ion which is spending ninety billions
a year can well afford an expenditure
of a few hundred millions for a
workable program that will give to
one—third of its population their fare
share in the nation’s prosperity. Nor
does this proposal put the govern~
ment into business except so far as
it is called upon to furnish initial
capital with which to build up the
farmer to the control of his own_ des-
tinies.” .

In concluding his remarks regard—
ing agriculture, he said, “The work-
ing out of agricultural relief consti-

tutes the most important obligation ‘

of the next administration. _

Build new fences
 old OHQSNOW',

ANY farmers were unable to get their fences

built last spring. The season was too short.

‘ It is unwise to put your fence work over until next

spring and risk a repetition of 1928. Do your fence
work now—this fall—while you have the time.

RED TOP Posts will help make the job easy-
and permanent.

Because, with the RED TOP Driver one man
can drive 200 to 300 posts a day through hardest
soil, it is practical to sandwich this job in between

. other work and clean it up this fall. 50 to 100
posts can be driven in an afternoon.

Right now the Weak spots in your fences should
be strengthened with new posts to prevent damage
to growing crops and perhaps save the loss of valu-
able cattle and hogs through breaking in and
gorging on the crops. _ ‘

I And then, that stubble ﬁeld which was seeded to
SWeet clover is now ripe for pasture, can be made
to yield 30% more pasturage by dividing it with a
temporary fence and letting the stock clean up
one section of it at a time.

And RED TOPS are superior posts. Tough, springy, rail
steel makes them durable. The studded tee, handy one man
fastener, the rust-resisting aluminum ﬁnish, the easy-driving

anchor plate and the RED TOP One Man Driver are real
advantages to the farmers who use them.

Pleaseg‘telllme if a corn berer can
live underwater during the month
of March and how long—N. W., sag-
inaw County._

.3 TO the 'question as to whether”

corn borers can'live beneath six

feet of water in March and how
long, the Federal'Bureau of Entom-
ology 'has carried on a long series of
experiments on the matter of survival
of the corn borer in water during the
winter. In general it may. be said
that the corn borer will survive
whether placed directly in pwater or
whether in corn stalks submerged in
water during the late Winter- and
Spring tor a considerable length of
time and regardless of whether the
water was salt or fresh water. For
example, in a. series of experiments
carried on in 1920 where corn stalks
were submerged in fresh water dur-
ing the period of February 7 to
March 7 for a total of twenty—eight
days, of one hundred and seventy-
three specimens of borers in the ex-
periment, eighty 'per cent of them
survived. In another series of ex-
periments where infested corn stalks
were kept in both salt and fresh wa-
ter from early December through
until March and April,
proportion of the larvae survived, al-
though some of the larvae \died prob-,-
ably as a. result of the submergence.
There is one instance on record of
where one borer in a stalk survived
after being submerged in water for
one hundred and twenty eight days.
This work may all be summed up as
indicating beyond any doubt borers
can and do survive in fairly large
numbers after having been sub-
merged in water for a considerable
length of time, running up as long
as a month or more.

WITHOUT POTASH

Potash is plentiful.
Every fertilizer mar»
ufacturercan-ieslarge
stocks. If you have
- trouble gettingpotash,
write orwire us collect
and we will advise
where you can get it.

POTASH “ gives wheat» the extra vigor it
needs when planted  the ﬂy—free date.
Potashproduces plump,sound grain,there-
by increasing the test weight per bushel.
' When potash is lacking, the grains ripen
too early and lack; quality; the stems and
leaves die while the grain is still immature;
and the wheat suffers from winter-killing.

The best way to insure a good wheat
crop and control winter-killing is to plant
after the fly-free date and use liberal ap-
plications of a fertilizer containingplenty
of potash. The right seed, a good-cr0pping
system, and the proper fertilizer will
safeguard your crop and stabilize quality
and yields.

Try at least 6% of potash in your wheat
fertilizer this fall. It will beneﬁt not only
your wheat crop but the succeeding crops
in your rotation as well, and is especially
helpful in getting a good stand of clover
hay following the wheat.

(Man to wrlte for m. looks' acne.“
olive thgmplg: beneﬁt of his wide expel-lean."

’ ‘ Today -
ODAY is Thursday. ‘It is the day
we were expecting to thresh.
The thresherman had promised

and then to that man's and then
, here. But as us-
ual the machine
is in an entirely
different neigh-
borhood t o d a y
I and it it gets
back here the
ﬁrst of next week
it will be as soon
as we expect it
now.

The country is
fast ﬁlling up
with small com-
munity threshers
and I think this
is a good practice. Today with the
scarcity of help it is the growing cus-
tom to thrash-from the ﬁeld. I al-
ways allowed that grain was better
when stacked or stored in the barn
for some time before it was t‘hreshed.
We like to stack it when we cannot
get a machine just when we want it,
but this year with sixty-six acres to
thresh,‘ ﬁfty of which are oats, We
feel the stacking of it would be a
rather “long drawn out affair." Be-
sides this we are unusually busy with
alfalfa haying and potato work,
therefore if the weather promises to
stay as, dry as it is now we will wait
for the machine. But I am of the
opinion someone will have to wait a
long time and eventually have some
rain to contend with. This section is
really in need of rain, it is the dryest
here now that it has been since May
and when the last oats are in from
the last man’s ﬁeld we hope it will
rain good and plenty. Besides being
dry, the weather is the warmest we
have had in years, corn is coming on
at a rapid rate and promises to be
the best crop we have had in years.
Does this mean low prices?

It * '3
Low Prices

Well, naturally large crops mean
lower prices. Oats have been pur-
chased freely by farmers around
here at 850 per bushel to feed hogs,
horses and cows. Our local feed
dealer has sold on an average a car-
load of around 1200 bushels of
shelled corn every week since last
spring. The price was somewhere
near $1.25 per bushel on the ayerage.
Now here is the idea, which would
you rather do, have all the corn and
oats you wanted to feed and then
sell ﬁfty bushels of oats at 300 a bu-
shel and ﬁfty bushels of ear corn at
30c a bushel or buy 200 bushels of
oats at 85c and 200 bushels of corn
at $1.25. Here is a problem some
of the “Great Farm Relievers" have
not seemed to mention very much
and I don’t know as they have ever
thought of it seriously, but the fact
remains that the United States is
rather a large place and farmers do
not all produce corn to sell at the
elevators as shelled corn. All farm—
ers do not grow wheat to sell. We
don't all grow cotton to sell. The
thing that spells prosperity for one
farmer may be a sort of handicap
for another farmer. .

The spread of prices is the worst
thing that the farmers have to con-
tend with. An Iowa, Kansas or Ne-
braska farmer, who last year grew
corn to sell, received a rather small

.price per bushel compared to the

$1.25 we paid here in Hlllsdale coun~
ty. Jobbers and railroads add too
much to the price. Then when we
feed this corn to stock and ship it
again the price we get is too small
because railroads and the trade have
taken what they seem to think is nec-
essary to reimburse them for their

‘-part of the transaction. I don’t know

of a farmerwho w0uld object to pay-

vingr's 1.25 per-busheljfor shelled cor-n

This doesil‘isten good but it is rather
afar ,distan-t day as I_ look into the
,fut-ure when I can see the farmers
“all” stand together. Farmers in one
section.” might be able (and they have
in times past) to stand together and
for a time dominate the marketing
and price of a certain commodity but
eventually this ceases to be a pay-
ing proposition for these farmers
who could control a market were pro-
ducing something that only their
section could produce. With their
control of markets, prices were so
proﬁtable that they increased their
output, or the section they thought
:to be limited seemed to enlarge, or
their high price made consumers .
turn to some other article of food,
and sooner or later prices begin to
sort of hover near the cost of produc-
ing’without any lofty proﬁts. It
makes no difference how high butter
fat is in price, or hog prices or price
of anything else. It is the cost of
productiOn that tells whether these
prices mean a proﬁt or loss to the
farmer. A man was ﬁguring with the
writer a while ago, on price of feed
to show a proﬁt in 12c hOgs. After
all his ﬁguring he left but what is
perhaps the essential part of a farm—
er’s production cost and a part that
is simply ignored by many farmers
and never mentioned bymost writ-
ers; “Farm Relievers," and “Price
Fixers" don’t like to and seldom do
mention it. That essential part is
OVERHEAD EXPENSE. It is this
“overhead expense" that railroads
and factories all include in the price
of their operation. The overhead ex—
pense of a farm is much larger than
is generally supposed. 'l‘he deprecia-
tion on fences, buildings, farm tools,
workhorses, etc., is far greater than
is generally believed and the reason
why so many farms today have a sort
of run down appearance is the sad
fact the farmer's income has not been
large enough to include the mainten~
ance cost of his farm.

Perhaps if something were done to
help the farmer reduce his overhead
expense, and this includes taxes, the
(1’) Farm Problem (‘2) would be
easier of solution. But the trouble
today is we are’ paying the “over-
head” for everybody else and neg-
lecting our own. -

There are:———but wait, this is the

Fair. I am sure I have enjoyed the
fair enough to feel underpblfigati‘on
to tell readers there is agood time
to be enjoyed from September 2nd
to 8th Way out on Woodward Ave.
It, is quite certain more farmers
would motor to the fair if they knew
the traffic conditions are so well reg—
ulated. Any farmer can get to the
fair grounds without mixing in the
heavy city traffic. Don't be mistaken
——you will surely see a car or two(?)
but pay as strict attention to your
driving as the other fellow does and
you will have no trouble at all. All

that the neighbors must co-operate

The time called the, “ﬂy free date”
varies with each season. Over a
period of twenty-ﬁve years by study-
ing tic weather charts, average ta-

cordance with the distance from the
equator and the altitude. The aver-
age :date for Shiawassee county is
September 20 and the average date
for Branch county is September 24.
I strongly advise that wheat growers
secure their “ﬂy free dates" from

their county agents and adhere to

them at wheat planting time this fall.

School Opens Again

igan are more fortunate than are
some of our other sister states. ’but
the rural schools of Michigan, the
centers from which our farm youth
receive their training for their 5life
workare none too good. The con-
solidated or centralized school move-
ment of Ohio and Indiana has been

_too slow working its way into our

Tremendous Power
from the Wind

HE Aermotor Co. is now making a
self-oiling windmill 20 feet in diameter.
If you have a well 1000 feet deep, or if
you want to raise a large quantity of water
from a shallower well, this is the windmill
you need.This new Auto-Oiled Aermotor
weighs nearly 2 % tons without the tower.
It is a giant for power.
Whatever your water requirements may
«. be there is an Auto-Oiled

 

/ . 5-". Aermotor of the right
, ans - ' ' ,_  size for the work.
i   ma They are made

‘   ._  "' "’ ‘ from 6 feet to 20
I :1  feet in diameter. Use the
.e 2. '- smaller sizes for the shallow
wells and the largerones for the
deep wells or large quantities
of water.0ur tables, sent upon
request, tell you just what
each size will do. ‘

The Improved Auto-Oiled
Aermotor, the genuine self-
oiling windmill, is the most
economical and the most
reliable device for pumping
water. It works every day

and will last a lifetime.
Every size of Auto-Oiled
Aermotor has double
gears running in oil. All
moving parts are fully
and constantly oiled.

One oiling a year is all

that is required.

The Auto - Oiled
Aermotor is made by
the company which

1 GAS TAX '

EAR EDITOR: I am not in favor
of a tax that raises our gasoline
, tax to. 4‘ cents but I am in favor
of a 3 centtdxand permanent license
plates good for ‘the life of the car,
and eliminate,- thef weight tax on
pleasure cars, ton" trucks and less
owned by farmers and only used for
their own beneﬁt. .

I believe in good roads. but why
tax the people more than they can
stand? I believe the 3 cent tax would
be suﬁicient if‘properly "need. I am
in favor Of a. weight tax on heavy
trucks as it is the heavy trucks that

are damaging our roads the most.-—_

D. C. S., Genesee County.

REMOVING SNOW IN NORTHERN
_ MICHIGAN

EAR EDITOR: Mrstohn Barber

of Kalkaska county was right

about the wasteful policy of
snow removal during the winter.
This is a burden imposed on the
farmer (in ’the form of taxes, of
course) and helping him not a whit.
0n the contrary, as Mrs. Barber says,
it is a nuisance and most decided de-
triment to northern residents, whe-
ther on trunk line or side road. Plow—
ing out the snow spoils sleighing
without insuring reliable motor trav-
_el. Bucking against nature in this
way is costly beyond all possible ben-
eﬁts. While a. resident of the city,
I know the farmer’s problems and
consider this and other excess loads
that are put on them utterly unjust.
Such matters should be acted on by
farm organizations and all possible
pressure brought to bear on our state
highway department.—F. W. Newton,
Saginaw County. ' '

 

THE LOST SHEEP'S REPLY
EAR EDITOR: As Mr. Ackerman
says I am a lost sheep I want
to reply. Now, ﬁrst of all, I want
no friction in this matter. I would
much rather be a. lost sheep and
know it than be one and not.

I did not say that I belonged to the
Shlawassee County Beet Growers’
Association, as I did not, but did be-
long to a. farmers' lodge and used
this to show how it was conducted.
I did and still do wonder how it could
exist.

You also speak of some farmers
raising sugar beets for 'pure cussed-
ness. I’would like to see and have a
picture of a. farmer that would raise
beets for pure cussedness. I, the
same as lots of others, think that a
contract is-no good unless binding to
all concerned, so no doubt you will
ﬁnd that is why these farmers raised
beets, and for returns. Mr. A., you
do not say how much these same

farmers received per ton for be‘ets'

that year and I know you have raised

them for much less since.

raise for cussedness?
Now, Mr. A., you as ex—manager

I am a ﬁrm believer in organized
farmers, but it cannot be' done in a

have taken years and some very stub-
born obstacles to overcome. Both

Mr. A., as I have said, no friction
please, but' I am just telling plain
facts and plainly. '

As you say about buying ‘under a

basis, you have hit the nail on the
head and there are lots more that say
the same thing. Now-why not try to
get the right man in the right place
and throw party to the winds?—

LET PEOPLE HOMESTEAD LAND
EAR EDITOR: I have had your
paper in my home for a number
of years and am greatly pleased
with it. I read articles on different-
things, so I want to ask opinions
through your columns of whoever
wishes to answer. .

Here in Gladwin county taxes are
very. high—we call it rent—and
there is a. lot of good uncleared land
that has gone back to the State for
taxes. Now if the State would put
it up as homestead land it would be
taken up and improved. , There are
lots of good poor families in Our
State, people who haven't the means
to buy land,'who would be glad to
settle on and improve such land.
Whose fault is it that such land is
not turned in as homestead? I think
whoever it is better get busy and do
a little more than sit upon the‘State’s
tax roll. I can can show you plenty
of good landthat should have been
turned in long ago and I can show
you plenty of good people who would
make a home of it,and pay their
taxes and thus relieve us poor land-y
working farmers of a. little on our
taxes.

I would like every person so mind-
ed to write their opinions on this
subject and see if we can get a. man
who will do his duty to this part of
the business and turn in for home-
stead all the good land in the State
and give people a chance to do other
than work their lives away to pay,
taxes and hold all State land for for-
est reserve. We do not need so much
going to waste because some mon-
eyed man wants to shoot rabbits
which inhabit such land—C. E. B.,
Gladwin County.

Diseases and insects take an annual toll
of one-ﬁfth of the possible crop yield in
America.

Did you ever see a live, six-legged lamb?
Here is one that is normal in every way
except for the two extra legs growing on

not interfere with the motion of the lamb
at all. The lamb weighed 11 pounds at

birth and is strong and healthy. It is.

FREDONIA, A NEW EARLY
GRAPE

HE New Yerk Experiment Station
I announces a new early black
grape called the Fredonia and

 describes it in a recent bulletin. For
‘ the past eight years it has consistent—

ly borne crops as
large or larger
than those of
Concord over the
same period. The
variety is one of
the earliest to
ripen, coming in
season with

non-sort Nuleger It 15 “my W0
. w e e k s earlier
than Worden. In quality Fredonia
is superior to any other black variety
of its season and is as good as Con-
cord. It is a splendid grape for ship-
ping because of its thick skin and is
‘equally good for roadside trade. A]-
through one of the earliest grapes to
ripen, the clusters hang :well to the
vine almost until the close of the
Concord harvesting season.

 

FEWER TREES, MORE APPLIES

1925 there were 79 million fewer

apple trees in this country than

in 1910‘, yet commercial produc—
tion is increasing. This apparent par-
adox is explained by an increased
output per tree and by the fact that
the. reduction. in the number of trees
has taken place largely in scattered
family orchards and in the less fa-
vorably situated commercial areas.
What about young trees? In the box

apple region or the northwest 55 per '

cent of the trees Were not of bearing
age in 1910. By 1925 this ﬁgure had
dropped to 13 per cent not of bear-
ing age. In the eastern apple re—
gions the percentage of non-bearing
apple trees has remained constant at
27 per cent.

GUN UNDER SUSPICION

HE spray gun is under suspicion
T as- being the cause of consider-
able summer foliage injury on
apple trees. Some growers are turn-
ing back to the old spray rods of
sacred memory. Have you ever
sprayed with’a ten foot bamboo rod
in a thick orchard? It is great sport
if you have plenty of time and. pa-
tience. Something like casting with
a ﬁsh-hook in a briar patch. The old
spray rods may; save foliage but also
increase the cost of spraying. One
man spraying alone can usepyt‘v’he ca~

pacity of his sprayer with a gun, but .
the 'use of rods will mean several‘

men to each spray—rig if the job is

. to be done on time and the sprayer

used to~ full advantage. How about
a double spray gun ?, We like it very
much. Having two smaller‘openings
insteadiot one large one it breaks

‘ up the spray and we believe ‘it helps

to prevent itoliage injury. A thor-
oush spra‘yman can also save leaves
by reducing the strength of the fun-

sicgde to: the as...” M

"The Farm Paper of Service"

A BAD BULL

RECENT Sunday the family of Dewey Pier-

son, of near Lapeer, returned from church

and found Mr. Pierson dead, the victim of a
prize herd bull. His body was found in the bull's
box stall, battered and torn almost beyond recog-
nition.

If Mr. Pierson had built a bull pen such as is
being advocated by the Michigan State College he
would still be living because there would have
been no need for him to enter any box stall to
care for the bull. If you have a bull do not put
off building a pen too long.

 

GOOD WORK.

UDGE ROYAL A. HAWLEY, of Ionia, has no

J use for chicken thieves. Two recently ap-

peared before him and acknowledged that they
were guilty of stealing four dollars worth of chick-
ens »from a farm. Each man was sentenced to 90
days in jail and ﬁned $30 in costs besides receiv-
ing a severe lecture from the Judge who declared
a chicken thief is a coward and robber of women.
He said the farm wife in many cases depends upon
her chickens for her “pin money" and that rob-
bing a farm henroost was a direct blow at the
woman on the farm rather than a robbery of the
men.

Judge Sample of Ann Arbor is another who
makes thieves believe that stealing chickens is a
mighty serious offense.

No doubt there are many other judges about
the State who are equally as severe with such of—
fenders but there are not enough of them.‘ Not
just a few but every judge and justice in Michigan
should give chicken thieves the“ limit of the law.
If they do they will be doing a whole lot to help
solve the rural theft problem which is a big one.

SEE YOU AT THE FAIR

RE you all set to attend the Michigan State
Fair this year? “The Best Show Yet," as it
is advertised, opens September 2nd at the old
stand just at the edge “of Detroit and will remain
open to the public for seven days and seven nights,
with something doing and exhibits on display
every forenoon, afternoon and evening. It will be
one of thebiggest shows on earth, having a four-
ritlg circus beat four ways for Sunday, so be sure
and not miss it. The price of admission is only
25 cents—unless you can make yourself appear
to be not over ten years of age, in which case you
will be admitted without charge as children under

ten get in free. '
Make your plans to get in a day or two about
the middle of the week if you possibly can get
away—and we mean away from the farm rather
than away from your wife because she will be
just as much «interested, if not more scythan you
will be. Besides she should come along to see that
you keep your mind on the feathered chickens in-
stead-of the other kind. You might get to spend-
ing too much time on the midway and forget all
about the farm exhibits'until it was time .to go
home.__ Theawhen you got beck home and the

tentand say “Howdy.” The tent will be for your
convenience and we. urge you to make it your
headquarters during your stay.

 

WELCOME, PROF. ANTHONY

N September let the dairy department of the
Michigan State College will have a new head.

Prof. O. E. Reed, for ten years the head of

the department, leaves for his new job as Chief of
the Bureau of Dairy Industry, U. S. Department
‘ of Agriculture, and Prof, E. L. Anthony, who has
been at the head of a similar department at the

r ““Uhiversity of --West Virginia for the last nine

years, will take charge at M. S. C. and carry on
from where Prof. Reed leaves off. '

To ﬁll Prof. Reed’s shoes at' M. S. 0. Will be a
big job, but we believe a big man has been chosen
to do it.

 

EXPECTS GOOD DEMAND FOR FARMS
ECAUSE of the prospects for good crops in
most parts of Michigan this year F. H. Kla-
.‘ won, president of the Federal Land Bank, at
St. Paul, Minn., predicts that after harvest there
will be a brisk‘demand for the 107 farms upon
which the bank has been forced to foreclose in
the last several years. Already there has been an
improvement in the demand, he says.
“Investments made in good farm land conserva-
tively appraised on the basis of earning power
under present conditions should prove one of the
best securities on the market," according to Mr.
Klawon. ~
To us that seems like very good advice, espec-
ially if that farm land is located in Michigan.

LEARNING THROUGH TRAVEL
NE thing of great interest to us is the increas-
ing number of tours being conducted about
the State to study the methods of other
farmers. But a few years ago an agricultural tour
of any importance was almost unknown while
now there is an' average of one or more for each
month of the year with the most of them being
held during the growing season. They range from
one day trips about a county to tours of several
days into different parts of the home state or into
neighboring states.

There is probably no better way of learning
how to produce the best crops and livestock than
by studying how the agricultural colleges and
other farmers do it and comparing with our own
methods. In addition to the knowledge we get
we are on a vacation from our own work. Tours
of this kind renew the edge of our enthusiasm
which often becomes dull from close contact with
our job. ‘ «

RURAL FIRE TRUCK SAVED HOME

F IT “had not been for a rural ﬁre truck the
home of A. B. Cook, former master of the
Michigan State Grange, probably would have

burned to the ground recently, but thanks to the
quick work of the ﬁremen the damage was held
to about $1,500 which was covered by insurance.
The truck operates out of a central station at
Owosso.'

This is just another case where a rural ﬁre
truck proved itself to be a very much worthwhile
investment for a farming community.

COMING EVENTS

OR many months we have carried on this page

a department known as “Coming Events."

In it we have tried to congregate the dates of

all coming meetings and other events of special

interest to the farmers of Michigan. It is a val-

uable department and we want you to help us in-

crease its value to yourself and all other farmers

in this State by sending to us the dates of any

future events to take place in your county. Please

send any date to us at least two weeks in advance

of the meeting, or whatever it is that is to take
place.

AT YOUR SERVICE
NE of our Saginaw county subscribers writes,
“I ﬁnd that a high value is placed upon your
opinion and justly so. I have had occasion
to use your service department."

The opportunity to serve the farmers of Michi-
gan is a sacred trust with us and we are con-
stantly seeking and striving to ﬁnd ways of “mak-
ing our service better than ever. , We want to

make it as complete as it is possible to make it ,

UR county agent told me, “Say. why don’t
you raise alfalfa hay? It grows away while
you're in bed, if you grow timothy instead, it

always dries up in the fall and hardly makes a.
crop at all. Alfalfa grows when weather's dry
and if it's wet that crop, oh, my! Just humps it-
self and grows so fast that you're first hayin'e
hardly past before another one has grown, it
won’t stop once you've got it sown. It ﬁlls the
mow and overﬂows, it's sure the greatest crop that
grows. a ration of alfalfa hay sure helps to make
the livestock pay.”

“Hold on. young man,” says I to him, “you're
talkin' with a. lot of vim but if I take that there
advice I'll have to do my hayin’ twice or maybe I
three times cv'ry year, that speech of yourn makes i
it appear that with alfalfa on the place it leads n.

I think my old way is the best. I surely wish that
I could use that scheme, for my form bureau dues

would spoil my fun, a yield of hay like that, by

COMPANY
,I am enclosing a letter from the
Gordon Realty Development 00., .209
W.'Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Ill. Will
youvkindly look up this company and
advise me if they are all right?—
0. 'M., Shiawassee County. _

PPARENTLY our subscriber was
a stockholder in the Ricken-
backer MotOr Company, of De-
troit, that went bankrupt, as the let-
ter starts out, “Our records show
that you are a stockholder in the
Rickenbacker Motor Company." The
next sentence suggests that they have
worked out a plan “whereby you
should recover all or part of the
money invested by you .in the above
corporation." That, 'of course, arous-
es the reader’s interest to a high de-
gree because everyone is always in-
terested when it is suggested that
they can recover some money they
have apparently lost.
be recovered? Ah, let us read the
rest of the letter and perhaps we will
ﬁnd out. It continues, "If you are
interested in. recovering your invest-
ment kindly mail the enclosed Post
Card at once as we can only take a
limited amount of this stock.” So
we didn’t ﬁnd out after all. Like our
subscriber we were left in the dark
as to what the stock was to be ex-
changed for. But let us see what we
can ﬁnd out about this concern and
their proposition.

Gordon Realty Development Com-
pany is the trade name used by
James M. Gordon and Maurice Gor-
don, according to the Chicago Better
Business Bureau. Last May these in-
dividuals appeared, with suitable
references, at the office of the Na-
tional Building and Development Or-
ganization, Room 512, 209 W. Jack-
son Blvd., Chicago, and indicated a
desire to enter the subdivision busi-
ness in that city, although they
lacked capital. Arrangements were
made under which the Gordons con-
tracted to purchase property from
the National Building and Develop-
ment Organization for resale to the
public. Under t-his‘agreement, all
individual purchasers of property
from the Gordon Realty Development
Company were required to make
monthly payments directly to the
National Building and Development
Organization, a portion of which
amount would be credited towards
the purchase price of the entire sub-
division by the Gordon company from
the National Building and Develop-
ment Organization. 1

'According to the statement made
by an officer of the latter company,
the Gordons collected deposits on lots
and neglected to turn in said deposits
and contracts for said lots. The early
part of July they disappeared com-
pletely, and the officer stated that
his company would only be responsi-
ble for contracts signed previous to
that date.

The letter received by our sub-
scribe'r can be explained by the fact

, that the Gordonssent a letter to all

of the former stockholders in the
bankrupt , Rickenbacker Motor COm-
pany, offering to assist them in re-
covering their money. Apparently
the plan consisted of selling them
real estate, accepting the stock as
ﬁrst payment.

opment Organization was organized

“KLEER-TONE” NOT
SATISFACTORY .
N this page in our June 9th issue
there appeared a short item re-
. garding the Geppert Kieer-Tone
Eliminator. We stated that we were
of the opinion that it is advertised in
a. very misleading“way and that it
was nothing but a cheap wave—trap.
We also advised that the company
had been invited to submit a sample
to the electrical engineering labora-
tories of the Michigan State College
,which they failed to do without giv—
ing any reasons. Since then one of
our subscribers who has a claim
against the company read the item
and sent in one for our radio editor,
B. K. Osborn, to try out.

After examining the Kleer-Tone
very carefully and testing it thor—
oughly he reported as follows:-

“This deviceconsists of two coils
of wire and a variable condenser all
connected in series. When received
by us, the dial was loose on the shaft
of the condenser. When this was
tightened, it was found that the con-
denser is so poorly constructed that
the plates touch together in certain
positions which gives a very irregu-
lar tuning action.

“The theory of this thing seems to
be to tune the antenna circuit which
is untuned in most receivers and thus
produce stronger signals. It accom-
plishes this purpose on the shorter
wavelengths, but the coils and con-
denser were found to. be too small
to tune have .350 meters even with
an aerial 200 feet long. Above this
wavelength the signals were weak—
ened.

“Regarding the six claims for this
device which the manufacturer prints
on the carton, we have determined
the following:

“1. No noticeable reduction in
static could be observed.

“2. ‘ Come increase in volume was
noted on wavelength below 350 me-
ters except in portions of the dial
where the condenser plates touched.
Above 350 meters, signals were weak—
ened.

“3. It will bring in more distant
stations in that part of the broadcast
band where volume is increased by
its use. (See No. 2)

“4. The Kleer-Tone was tested at
a distance of three quarters of a mile
from a 1000 watt local station and it
was positively unable to tune out this
station for reception in any part of
the broadcast band. .

“5. The increase in volume noted
in No. 2 was certainly not equal to
one more stage of amplification. Fur—
thermore, there was no increase in
volume in a large part of the broad-
cast band.

“6. In the lower part of the broad-
cast band where some increase in
volume was noted, the tuning action
was observed to be very broad. Thus
the device .would be of no use in

if by that they mean that it will sep-
arate stations which are on nearly
the same wavelength and which in:
terfere.”

All but one of the several claims
we. have, had against the ‘company
have been settled promptly without
argument. ‘

Few women are anxious to spend

' the greater part of their lives in the
 kitchen.

There is astory of one wo-
man who was so fond 'of cooking
‘and washing dishes that she would

\ almost soil dishes just for the fun of

.‘washing them, but such cases are

rare.

Women as a rule realize that the
task of housekeeping is an endless
andmonotonous one unless they can,
by their resourcefulness, introduce
variety and lighten labor. Ideally,
every housewife should have leisure
enough for self advancement, for
necessary change and recreation, “and
for her family.
no real family life but is merely a
household drudge.

Since so large a percent of wo—
man’s time is spent in the prepara-
tion of food for the family, we must
necessarily turn to this phase of
housekeeping as one of our best op—
portunities for time saving.

Every woman of intelligence will,
through her experience, ﬁnd nu-
merous short cuts in food prepara—
tion.
sider this subject in a broad general
way. Let us see in what ways labor
costs may be cut:

1. By deﬁnite planning of meals
and the labor involved in cooking
-them. Many women feel that they
.have so much to do that there is no
time to spend in planning. The fact
is that hours of labor may be saved
by calmly sitting down and making
speciﬁc meal plans, and plans of the
[actual cooking procedure. Nu—
, merous processes may overlap or run
parallel if one plans them right,
,whereas going into the kitchen and
starting the work without thinking
it out clearly may very materially
lengthen the time of preparation.

2. Another point of importance
in meal planning is the saving or ﬁl-
ing of successful plans to be used at
some future date when the family
has forgotten about them. Notations
of desirable changes in meal plans is
another way of saving labor in the
future. If the family failed to like
your plan or if another combination
would be better, jot down at once
the change you would make another
time and ﬁle it away.

The effect of deﬁnite planning on
the nerves of both the housewife
and her family is worth the time in-
volved even if it did not bring about
a saving in time and labor. People
who work efficiently work with more
poise and power and this in itself is
a satisfaction if not a saving.

3. Another way in which labor

costs may often be cut in half, or.

more, is by the installation (as the
family budget will permit) of labor-
saving devices. Let us consider one
or two speciﬁc cases:

The food chopper has been worth
many times its cost to any family
and is now considered a necessity in
most homes. Take the family in
which frozen desserts are frequently
used and certainly no dessert is more
wholesome, delicious, or better liked,
especially where there are children,
an ice crusher of family size is one
of the best of investments for such
a family because when the ice is
ready, one of the biggest tasks in the
freezing of ice creams in the home
is done.

One might say buy instead of
make frozen desserts and thus save
all the labor of making but for the

fact that we all know it is impossible.

to her family. The lack of the price
of a new one is the only excuse for
continued use of a worn out or‘in-
efficient «article.

The fourth and last general point
is one whicheannot apply to every-
body. A woman trained in know—
ledge of food values and in principles
of food preparation will, other
things being, equal, probably plan
and prepare meals with greater ease
and efficiency and with a greater
saving of time and labor than a wo-
man without such training. To
know the food needs of the family
and what foods meet these needs will
mean a family better fed than one
fed at random, and after all our aim
in preparing food is not merely cook-
ing and serving foods that people
will like but providing adequate
nourishment for the family.

To have in mind the fundamental
proportions and methods involved in
food preparation and to have the art
acquired through practice, neces—
sarily means greater ease of perfor-
mance.

A woman who has not had the ad-
vantages of such training may never—
theless acquire much through read—
ing and study.

Many of our good foods have so
many hours of cooking expended on
them that they are ruined for human
consumption. I am thinking now

particularly of our common food,4

the cabbage. The average person,
I believe, cooks cabbage to the stage
where it will give the strongest mem-
bers of the family indigestion. This
is proved by the fact that on every
hand you can hear people saying that
cabbage is one food that they can-
not eat. Cabbage cooked even one
hour is probably ruined, but cooked
two, three, or four hours it is a
brown, strong indigestible product.
A knowledge of the principles of
food preparation and a willingness
to try out newer methods which are
an improvement over the ways of our

grandmothers are assets in the prep- -

aration of foods. If twenty to thirty
minutes of cooking makes of cab-
bage a delicately ﬂavored, beautifully
colored product which may be eaten
without digestive disturbance, why
cook it three or four hours? Time
saving is one factor here but quality
of product is another, and this is one
instance‘in which the best quality of
product is obtainable in the shorter
length of time.

Greens in one form or another,
have for many years been popular as
food. Now that we know more of
food values than we formerly. did,
we see at least three important rea—
sons why greens should be prominent
in the diet—they are valuable for
mineral content, being one of our

What To Eat

 

During the long winter months, "what
to eat” and have any sort of, variety be-
comes a serious question. One way or
adding zést to a common—place meal is by
having an ample supply of conserves,
jams, jellies, and pickles on your cellar
shelves upon which you can draw. ‘

Delicious Grape Conserve—Stew four
pounds of grapes until soft, then put
through the colander to remove seeds.
Strain the juice from three oranges and
two lemons and add to the fruit pulp with
four pounds of sugar. Blanch the ﬁne-
ly chopped peel of the oranges and lemons
by covering with cold water and bringing
it to a boil. Pour off this water and again
cover with cold water and bring to a boil.
Do this three times, then drain and add
the peel to the grape mixture with a.
pound of seeded raisins.- Simmer slowly,
stirring frequently, then add a pound of
broken walnut meats when the mass is
well cooked down. When the conserve is
thick like jam, pour into fruit jars and
seal while hot.

Grape Ketchup-e4 lbs. grapes; 2 tbsp.
cinnamon; 1 tbsp. cloves; 1 tbsp. allspice;
1 cup vinegar; 1 tbsp. salt; 2‘ lbs. sugar:
a little cayenne if desired. Stewigrapes
until soft and remove seeds. U'se whole
spices and tie in a bag to prevent darken-
ing the product. ~Add the spices, sugar,
salt, and vinegar and simmer for 15 min-
utes. Put into sterilized bottles and pro-
gess at simmering point for 20 minutes.

eal. ‘ . ~ '

Peach Marmalade.——4 lbs. peaches; 4
lbs. sugar; 3 cups water (about); inice
of 2 lemons. Peel and pit the peaches,
Cook in water enough to cover until very
soft. Rub through a strainer. To this
pulp add the sugar and lemon juice and
cook slowly until very thick. Towards
the last it must be stirred constantly. Put
in jelly jars and seal over with wax. Cook
marmalades in small quantities to” pre-
vent darkening of product. ' "

Plum Conserve—Fibs. plums,  mm

But ere I returned his spirit had left him.

He'd gone to his Maker-the cowboy was

Folks at Our House Like—

 

Picnics and potato salad seem insepar-
able. Do you ever get tired of it? If you
do, the next time you go on an outing try
taking along kidney bean salad and see
how fast it will disappear. It is delicious,
too, for a meal at home. Here is my
recipe—-

Kidney Bean Salad—1 can or 2 cups of
cooked kidney beans drained of their juice,
1 cup diced‘cucumber, 1 small onion out
ﬁne, 1 teaspoonful salt, pepper, 2 tea-
spoonsful sugar. Mix with enough may-

MUSINGS OF A
PLAIN FABMER

BALLARD—_——-—.

 

 

 

 

By A. P.

 

HERE are three things on this farm
Tthese days that are most annoying;
tangled oats, cow tails, and mosqui-
toes. Of the three the mosquitoes have
the pole position.
t I! t

I always supposed they worked during
nocturnal hours. But this year they have

' the twenty-four hour shift and are mak-

ing things most disagreeable for man
and beast.
O O t
This morning black Paula snapped her
tail five times in my eye in about the
same amount of seconds. Her judgment
of distance was perfect.
0 t O _
I pulled my hat lower over my brow and
remained for the torture.
1' t t
In the meantime a swarm oi? bull mos-
quitoes were puncturing my hide and
drilling true and straight. It was quite
a strain on my nerves.
It 3

Escaping from the cow barn as soon as
possible, I rushed to the cat ﬁeld for air,
and over near the woodlot I ran into
the main swarm. In convention assembled.

It it I

Evidently they had passed resolutions
to drive me from the lot, but a humane
north wind came up and drove them to
cover. Much to my relief,

i ll! Ill

The elements have caused the pools
that breed the mosquitoes. That's what
I read in the papers. I am no mosquito
expert, except to ﬁght them.

It i O

The rain and winds also ﬂattened the
oats leaving them a tangled mass. Hard
to cut. Hard to shock. Hard to pitch.
Hard everything.

i I I!

I am getting hard myself on the agri-
culture business. If it keeps on I’ll quit
and leave the whole business handicapped
with mosquitoes, cow tails, tangled oats,
mud, taxes, and divers other nuisances.

t t 0|

I am getting disgusted. I’ll fold the
whole thiing up and lay it gently in some—
body's lap. Let him struggle with it a
while.

3 t t

Then I'll purchase an accordion and a.
tin cup and go about and do the fairs.
Singing, “0 day of rest and gladness."

DEAR BOYS AND' GIRLS:

,a number to send .her.

are not'golng to haveanother

-* contest in this issue and I will
tell you why. I want you to take
the time it would require to Work
one of our average contests and
spend it writing a letter. Will you
do that? Thank you very much; I
knew you would say “yes.”

Just the other day I received a
letter from Estella Hartman, R.- 5,
Cassopolis, who has not walked for
ten years and must sit in a wheel-
chair all day long. But she is not
downhearted about it at all. She
writes, reads, and does fancy Work to
take up the time. Her hobby is the
collecting of pictures and she is
especially interested in lMichiganIs
beauty spots. Most of us can go to see

these beautiful places throughout the
State but Estella cannot so she has

to be contented with pictures of
them. Now what I wish you would
do——and I know you will be anxious
to do it once you know what it is—
is to write Estella a nice letter and
send her some pictures for her col-
lection. She likes picture post cards
of beautiful scenes about Michigan,
and the “brown picture section,” as
she calls it, from newspapers. Also
pictures from any magazines will be
welcome. Surely you can ﬁnd quite
They will
make her very happy and win-her
everlasting gratitude.

She says she reads every word of
the Children’s Hour and enjoys it all.
She is a member of the Shut-In Soci—

members all over the world, a. mem—
ber of the Joy—Bearers club and the

' Wall club.

There is no happiness like that
gained from making someone else
happy. . Let’s all do what we can to

.let Estella know that we want her
.to be happy.
UNCLE NED.

What do you say?—

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

 

Dear Uncle Nedz—I bet you have for-
gotten all about this inactive member of
your Club but I can truthfully say I have
not forgotten my uncle and cousins. I
have had a very good reason for not writ-
ing as I am a victim of tuberculosis'and
Was at the Howell sanatorium and unable
to write. I amhome to take the cure now.

could see an M. B. F.

I see we have a new'president. Con-
gratulations, President Sharp. I’m sure
Our Club will prosper with her as pres-
ident. I agree with our president about
smoking and drinking, I think they are
wrong. My father doesn’t use tobacco or
drink.

John Vlock, I surely was surprised to
see a letter from you on the children’s
page in M. B. F. I imagine you remember
me from letters in another paper, do you
not? I entirely agree with you on the
fact that our president is not an old faded
wall ﬂower for she is right in every way.

Come on, cousins, stick up for our pres-

ident and help our page to become the
most interesting in all the paper. Will
close with three cheers for our ﬁne presi-
dent and best wishes to the cousins and
especially dear Uncle Ned. From a long
silent member.—Anna Hoyt, R. 1, North
Adams, Mich.
——We are very happy to welcome you
back, Anna, and hope that you will gain
back your health rapidly so that it will
not be long before you can take part in
the various sports your chums enjoy. Per-
haps the boys and girls will keep you
busy for a time answering letters. Let me
hear from you often—Uncle Ned.

 

Dear Uncle Nedc—Do you remember
me? I have only been with you a couple
of months and only written two letters.
Neither were in print. I just love nature
and wish I could do more for the birds
and animals. I think our new president is
just wonderful. Eathel, you are not old
fashioned ,as one girl called you. I think
she was a very rude girl and hope there
are not any others who agree with her.—
“Freckles.”

—-Your letter is surely brief, "Freckles."
Can’t you tell us about what you do for

. the birds and animals?—-—Uncle Ned.

 

Dear Uncle Nedz—We all like M.‘ B. F.
real well and my small sister and I quar-
rél’ over ’it when it- comes. .1 correspond
with two girls and intend to correspond
with more in a. short while.

I think drinking or smoking for a girl.
or boy isn’t right but think that a. little
“make-up” isn’t so bad (as I’m'a girl).

I like sports or all kinds and‘would'
rather walk‘to‘ school on the coldest day-
of 'winter (which is only an half mne’
away) than ride. I just swing my dinner
pail and whistle as I go.

A, Game to Play. , .

- ROUND BALL '
THIS is a. good picnic game for twenty

 

to sixty players,, and a hand ball,

basket ball, or bean bag may be used.
The players form in a circle, and number
off in twos. The ﬁrst No. 1 is captain for
the Ones, and the ﬁrst No. 2 is captain
for the Twos. Each captain has a ball' or
bean bag, and the game consists in throw-
ing the ball around the circle. The ball
started by Captain No. 1 goes only to
the players of that number, and the ball
started by Captain No. 2 to the players
who bear his number. The game may be
varied by requiring the ball to go around
the circle twice or three times. ' '

.7.TEXT: “Is not this the carpenter?"
Mark 6:3. '

W0 of the writer's ministerial
friends have recently begun
work as. carpenters. They had

done years of creditable pastoral
work. Why did they go at manual
labor? We do not know. And it
does not matter. But, isn't it a bit
unusual that men of professional
training should turn to a daily toil
of the hands? . Are these men trying
to preach salvation through a gospel
of work? Well, it is enheartening
that they are'not ashamed of such a
gospel. Such a spirit will heighten
the meaning of Labor Day. It will
bring the church and labor closer to-
gether and so purge society of pre-
judice and misunderstanding.

“Is not this the carpenter?” Of
course it is. And that is the start-
ling thing about the New Testament.
Great, living characters breathe from
its pages; but just the common men

Carpenter, with hammer and saw,
dignifying life through enthusiastic
and .purposeful work. ‘ His home
folks 'said, “We can't understand it.
We know this man and his humble
family. We know he works hard
every day, and then on the Sabbath
he teaches in our synagogue with
such-marvelous wisdom. We are as—
tonished. But then we can't accept
him as our «Messiah. Our prophets
have told‘ us that our savior is to
come as a pompous prince and a
great political-conqueror. This man
is nothing but an humble carpenter."
So they stigmatized our Lord.

We met an old man the other day
that had quit going to church. He
said, “I am tired of hearing my pas-
tor give itto the Jews." Come to
think of it, that is easy, but it is
cowardly. Let's quit it. Suppose
you go to church next Sunday morn-
ing and meet in the pulpit an un—
schooled farmer from out of the hills.
You wonder at his humble wisdom;
his spiritual vision. He says that
God has ordered him to proclaim that
upon him the salvation at our land
rests. Would you believe him?
Wouldn't you say, “Who will follow
that fanatic?" Now, that is what
happened to Jesus. Palestine was
being crushed by the Roman armies.
The Jew was seeking freedom, but
it was unthinkable that it was to
come through. an unrecognized toiler.
He couldn't believe that God would
pass by all the rich and wise at Jeru—
salem“ When Jesus was down at Je-
rusalem, these folks with their stilt-
ed wisdom, said, “How knoweth this
man letters, having never learned?"
We once heard a searching sermon,
and we were informed that the
preacher had never been through the
grades. We wondered. We were lit-
tle better than the Jews. But this
mistake is as common as humanity is
wide. We estimate too often the
power and standing of people accord-
ing to their birth or occupation.
Schools and professions are not to be
despised. We need them. But let
us not forget that God has given
some men native conviction and in-
sight that are little dependent upon
schools. Call up old farmer Amos.
Ask the ﬁshermen apostles. Consult
the oracles of Abe Lincoln. All these
tell us that God cannot use a mind
ﬁxed and opinionated by dogmatic
schools. The professionally trained
man is helpful, but“ when God wants
to set going some new social impulse,

tionallzed heart. “Not many wise
after the ﬂesh, not many mighty, not
many noble are called; but God chose
the toolish things of the world that
he mightput to shame them that are
wise.” Isn't it true that sometimes
we;miss a spiritual message because

All the Hot Water _
You Need!‘

EVEN for the great convenience of having plenty
of hot water, it isn’t much fun to keep a roaring
ﬁre going on a summer’s day.

But summer is the very season when dishes 

cooking and milking utensils must be kept immacu- ' --~' ‘
lately clean. And at the end of a hot day, there's  f" 
nothing so refreshing as a warm bath. .  _‘

Throughout the year, an electric water heater - ;
furnishes plenty of hot water, and the kitchen re-
mains cool. This is just one way in which electric ..
equipment is making life easier on the farm.

SOPHIA. OF ELMWOOD IS LEADER

OPHIA OF ELMWOOD, a pure-
bred Jersey owned by James Hil-
bert, Traverse City, is believed

to be Michigan’s highest testing cow.
Sophia has just ﬁnished a year’s test—
ing work . in the Leelanau County
D. H.,I. A. and has at leastGachieved
a place for herself among the highest
if not the highest average testing
cow in Michigan» For the period of
one year she averaged 8.09 per cent
fat and produced 6,313 pounds of
milk making 510.94 pounds of butter
fat as a three year old. During the
year her lowest test was 7 per cent
and then only for one month was it
so low. According to A. C. Baltzer, in
charge of D. H. I. A. work in Michi-
gan, and George E. Taylor, superin-
tendent of official testing, this is the
highest test for the period of one
year on record—W. G. K.

FALL FRESHENING COWS
PRODUCE MORE

ICHIGAN cows freshening in the
fall of the year produce larger
amounts of butterfat and milk

than do cows freshening at other
seasons.

The months of September, October,
and November were listed for the
fall season in making a study of
more than 10,000 cows in Michigan
D. H. I. A.’s . These cows averaged
335- pounds bu‘tterfat and 8,273
pounds milk. The largest number
of cows likewise were found ‘-to

The “Wisconsin Plan” of ﬁlling
silos is proving one of the best, and
is becoming more popular in other
The Wisconsin plan is to ﬁll
the silo, so far as, possible, with your
own help, possibly exchanging with
one neighbor. This means a smaller
cutter and taking more time to ﬁll.
It also meansthat each silo owner
should have his own cutter, and de—
pend less on a large crew at ﬁlling
time.

The “Wisconsin Plan” was devel-
oped because Wisconsin farmers are
the biggest users of silos. In many
counties, practically every farmer has
a silo, and he has found it necessary
to do his own ﬁlling. By this method .
he is able to put the corn .in at the
right period or maturity.

It will pay to have all machinery
and equipment in good running or-
der for break-downs and delays are
expensive and sometimes fatal to
getting the crop in at the right time.

All six are the same size." Will this
increase its value as a milch cow?
——0. D.,,Fremost, Mich. .

HERE. is no value attached to
the six teats that the heifer has
instead of four. As a matter of

fact, if the two extra teats develop,
they will really cut the value rather
than add to it. '

DEPRAVED APPETITE
Would like to know what makes
cattle chew on bones that they ﬁnd
about the place. They have plenty
to eat and drink.—-—R. E.,, Daggett,
Michigan. '

ATTLE chew old bones because
they are suffering from de-
praved appetite. Depraved ap-

petite is usually the result of calcium
or phosphorus deﬁciency, in the ra-
tion. This disease is often found in
the cattle herds kept on farms where
it is difficult to grow clover because
the soil is sour or needs lime.

Would suggest that you get some

steamed bonemeal which is made es—
pecially for cattleifeeding and that
you mix it with equal parts of salt
and put this in small boxes where all
of your cattle can eat of it at will.
Next winter better feed one-third
pound of this mixture to each cow on
her feed each day.

' Gov. Smith’s'Speech
Alfred E. Smith, Governor of the

- state of New York, gave his address

of acceptance of the Democratic nom-
ination for President at 6:30 P. M.,
Wednesday, August 22nd. It was
delivered at the Capitol in Albany.

Farm relief is not just a problem
of helping the farmer, according to
Gov. Smith, but other lines of busi-
ness as well because “if the buying
power of agriculture is impaired, the
farmer makes fewer trips to Main
Street.” , .

The tariﬁ is not effective in his
estimation but he declares the plat-
form of his party points the way to
make it so.

The only time he referred to the
McNary—Haugen bill was when he
criticized the present administration
for vetoing the measure without of-
fering an adequate substitute. His
plan of relief is giVen almost entirem
ly in the’ two following paragraphs:

“Cooperative, coordinated , market-
ing and warehousing of surplus farm
products is essential just as coordin-
ated, cooperative control of the ﬂow
of capital was found necessary to the
regulation of our country’s ﬁnances.
To accomplish ﬁnancial stability, the
Federal Reserve System was called
into' being by a. Democratic adminis-
tration. -The question for agriculture
is complex. Any plan devised must
also be coordinated with the other
phases of our business. institutions.

THREE CHEERS F0]! M. B. F.
EAR EDITOItz—I am enclosing
D 81 to renew my subscription
for three years as we all think
it is a wonderful paper and a. great
protection to the farmer and his wife
who are raising chickens as it has
helped to put a number of chicken
thieves behind the bars. Three cheers
for the M. B. F.—Emmett Felghner,
Wayne County.

 

 

Our platform declares for the devel—
opment of cooperative marketing and
an earnest endeavor to solve the
problem of the distribution of the
cost of dealing with crop surpluses
over the marketed unit of the’crop
whose producers are beneﬁted by
such assistance. Only the mechanics
remain to be devised. I propose to
substitute action for inaction and
friendliness for hostility. In my ad—
ministration ofthe government of my
State, whenever I was confronted
with a problem of this character,"I
called into conference those best
equipped on the particular subject in
hand. I shall follow that course with
regard to agriculture. Farmers and
farm leaders with such constructive
aid as will come from sound econo-
mists and fair minded leaders of ﬁ-
nance and business must work out
the detail. There are varying plans
for the attainment of the end which
is to be accomplished. Such plans
should be subjected at once to search-
ing, able and fair minded analysis,
because the interests of all require
that the solution shall be economical—
ly sound.

“If I am elected, I shall immedi-

ately after election ask leaders of the ~

type I have named irrespectiVeiof
party to enter upon this task. I shall
join with them in the discharge of
their duties during the coming win—
ter and present to Congress immedi—
ately upon its convening, the solu-
tion recommended by the body‘of
men best ﬁttted to render this signal
service to the nation. I shall sup—
port the activities of this body until
a satisfactory law is placed upon the
statute books.” ‘ _

GIVES HIS EXPERIENCES

EAR EDITOR: 'Am much inter-

ested in the Experience Pool.

That suggestion of a nose snap
on a. kicking heifer is good. We run
a string through a pulley hung up
over the manger and raise or lower
nose according to symptoms.

One we are breaking in now is not
large enough to shade her own udder
and the front teatssunburn. Wool
fat is the best thing I know of for
that but any clean fat will do. Keep
teats and harﬁs soft and few heifers
will kick, but we have had two that
seemed to kick from pure ugliness.
One, years ago, we named Jezebel
and she lived up to her name. The
other we cured with the nose lifter,
lifting-with every kick and relaxing
when she behaved. When she learned
what it meant We let it hang before
her, using it only when she kicked.
It took several weeks but the cure
was perfect.

Brother Mick’s wart remedy is also,

good, only we use castor oil. We
ﬁrst used it on suggestion of a medi—
cal doctor for a‘mare with a wart
close to her eye that was as large as
a strawberry. I have used it on sev-
eral. cows. It takes some time but
is sure and safe—Stacy Brown,
Ionia County. ‘

CHICKEN thieves in Ohio got a good

When two thieves robbed the chicken
coop of William Brown, Cass county
farmer, they gave him all the thrills of a
big city holdup. First they shoved a. gun
in his face, then they bound and blindfold—
ed him and set him on the porch of his
house while they proceeded to rob his
chicken house. Before they got all of the
chickens sacked he worked loose and
stole into the house after his shotgun.
The thieves evidently heard him, for they
came out of the chicken house to investi-
gate and Brown ﬁred through a window.
reserving the other shot for closer quart—
ers. After ﬁring four shots in return,
three of which entered the house, the
thieves ran away. Ofﬁcers are now work—

PRICE OF BROILERS
Is there a good market and is the
price high enough to pay one for

oraising fall broilerS?—-——E. E., White

Cloud, Michigan.
T is the frank opinion of Prof. C.
G. Card, head of the Department
of Poultry Husbandry, M. S. C.,
that fall and winter broiler prices are
not suffiﬁent to warrant one to raise
fall broilers. Because of the heavy
sale of light springer stock broiler
prices are generally very low during
the fall and early winter months.
This low price continues during the
winter angl lasts until about April
lst, consequently it is considered
good business to‘buy broilers around
January lst and have them ready for
market. the forepart of April when
prices turn upward.

WYANDO'I'I‘ES
I would like to know what differ-
ence there is in the Wyandotte .and
Silver Laced Wyandotte, if there is
any. Which is the best 1ayer?——C.
W., Levering, Mich.

HE term “Wyandotte” is used to
designate a breed of fowl; with-
in this breed there are eight dif—

ferent varieties, one of which is the
Silver Laced Wyandotte. All Wyan-
dottes have the same standard
weight, the same type of comb,ﬁthe

_ same general body shape and all lay

brown shelled eggs. It is probable
that the variety commonly referred
to as the White Wyandottes has re—
ceived more egg breeding lhan the
others.

STONE WALL FOR. HEN HOUSE

We plan on building a hen house
this summer large enough to house
about 100‘ pullets. As lumber is
high and we have lots of rock on our
farm were wondering if it could be
built of rock and be dry enough for
chickens. Does one need windows on
any side but the south?——A. 0., Hart,
Michigan. ~ ' ,

E believe a satisfactory «poultry

house could be built having a

a stone wall. Especially a thin

one is a good c0nductor of heat and

you would be likely to have moisture

caused by condensation collecting on

the inside of the house. It would

probably be as cheap for you to build

a frame house as to build a wall of
stone. ‘

It is desirable to‘hav-e windows on
the north side of the house as well‘as
on the south, although not so many.
If the straw. litter is used on the
ﬂoor, hens will scratch it to the back
of the house as there are no windows
at the back. A hen in scratching for
feed always faces the light, conse-

\ quently the litter mOves toward the

back of the house. ‘This tendency is
sometimes compensated for, by.build-
ing the'ﬁoor on an‘incline having it
several inches lower on' the south
side than_the north "side of the poul-

(Special to Thin BUSINESS FARMER)‘

"RM prices still are higher» than
5 ~ last season. The late summer
g drOp on grain and other crops
does not outweigh the gain in live-
stock and its products of various
kinds. Yet, the general price- slant
. has been a little downwardall sum-
mer. Values looked a little stronger
the middle of August, owing to some
recovery in grain. Cotton holds bet—
ternow. Most fruits and vegetables
are selling low compared with last
season. ,Egg and butter prices tend
“slightly upward. Wool is steady.
Livestock markets vary according to
' weekly receipts, but underlying posi‘
tion continues ﬁrm.
‘ Grain
The advance in the Liverpool mar-

ket, together With some slowing up‘

in the movement of winter wheat
.and threatened trost‘ damage in
"‘ Canada which emphasized the uncer-
tainty concerning the ﬁnal outturn
of the Canadian spring wheat crop,
was a strengthening factor in the
wheat market. United States farm-
ers are planning to reduce their win-
ter wheat acreage this fall about 2.1
per cent from that sown last season,
- according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture. An
increase of 8.6 per cent in the rye
V acreage to be seeded this fall is in—
tended. , The intended decrease of
2.1 per cent in winter wheat acreage
was reported principally in the Corn
Belt States and in Oklahoma and.
- Texas.

Food

The hay market. continued ﬁrm,
principally as a result of light offer-
ings of good quality hay. The feed
imarket though weak steadied some-
‘what after the middle of August, as
a result of a stronger grain market
‘and some improvement in demand.
The gluten situation remained ﬁrm
but hominy feed was weak, with
ﬂieavy offerings and light .demand
:Al‘falfa meal was steady.

Hogs

The mid—August advance on hogs
was scored despite strenuous effort
on the part of major packers to hold
prices" down and was forced largely
by the market activity of eastern
shipping demand which provided out-
let for approximately 33 per cent of
Chicago’s receipts. The top at Chi-
cago was advanced to $13, 25 cents
higher than the highest price paid
in 1927 and unequaled since Novem-
ber, 1926. The cold storage report,
released at mid-week, indicated a re-
duction of 96,000,000 pounds of pork
in storage on August 1, as compared
with a month previous, and a reduc-
tion of 9,000,000 pounds of lard.
Storage supplies however, were still
Well above the 5—year average. The
market looked a little top heavy at
the week end as advances in values
of pork products hardly kept pace
with the live market, the recent sharp
upturn in which was expected to
stimulate country loading.

W’OOL

The world demand for wool in
1929 seems likely to continue as
good or better than in 1928. In-
creased business activity, general
growth oi population, a continuation
of the economic recovery of Europ-
ean countries, and increasing indust-
rialization of the Orient will tend to
strengthen the demand for wool. In-
creasing competition from other tex-
tiles, on the other hand, will tend to
offset to some extent the effect of
these factors. In the case of wool as

ues to be affected by prevailing
weather conditions, principally the
heat. Arrivals at the markets have
contained more than the usual
amount of off quality goods. '
I’omtoes

Potato markets were dull and
somewhat weaker. Chicago was re-
ceiving quite a lot of Cobblers in
dirty condition from Kansas to Mis-
souri, which sold in the carlot mar-
ket at 60 to 70 cents. Other cities
geported jobbing sales at a level of
1.20.

BEAN S

Old beans are no longer being
quoted as all the business that is
passing is in the new crop. A price
of $6.50 is being offered for Septem—
ber shipment and $6.30 for October
shipment. This is under the ﬁgure
agricultural leaders of Michigan be-
lieve it should be. .

On page 3 of this issue is an ar-
ticle entitled “What About the Price

of Beans This Fall?” which we hope -

you will read very carefully. You
will note that some of the leading
growers who are interested in es-
tablishing a price to start the 1928
crop have made quite a study of the
situation and are inclined to believe
that a $7.00 price would be about

in the case of lamb and mutton the
increase in demand seems likely to be
met with an increase in supplies of
raw material.

According to the latest reports,
stocks of wool in the important sur-
plus producing countries are but
slightly larger than at the corre-
sponding date last year. While the
world’s supply of wool during the
next twelve months, therefore, seems
likely to be somewhat larger than
last year, the total supply will prob-
ably be little larger than the supply
available for the 1926—27 seaso'n.

HOG PRICES .

Supply and demand conditions as
outlined above point to a higher
level of hog prices in the winter of
1928—29 than the average of. $8.34
made last'winter, but it hardly seems
likely that prices will reach the av—
erage of $11.75 attained in the win-
ter of 1926-27. Present conditions
point to a comparatively light mar—

 

ket supply of hogs in November and

December. In this event it seems
probable that the seasonal decline in
prices will be much less than that
which took place last year and that
the low point of the winter prices,
which is uSually reached in early
December, will be considerably high—
er than the low point of the winter
of 1927—28. '

EXPECTED GRAIN ACREAGE
HILE there was a period in
Michigan history some forty
years ago when twice as many
acres of wheat were grown as at
present; the State's crop is still im-
portant according to Herbert E. Pow-
ell, Commissioner of Agriculture and
Verne H. Church, Agricultural Sta—
tistician. Reports from farmers
throughout the State indicate that
they intend a ﬁve per cent‘ increase
this year over the amount sown last
fall. If these intentions are fulﬁlled,
the area sown will amount to 1,032,-
000" acres as'compared with 983,000
last year. This amount is apparently I
justiﬁed, as. the acreage for the

For the country as a whole,_ the
reports indicate an increase of ap-

Michigan growers are undoubtedly

crop.

 

 

~Week of September 2
S might be surmised from the

September forecast published

in last issue of BUSINESS FARMER
frosts may be expected early this
year. In fact, we are expecting there
will be frosts in parts of the northern
counties of this State during this
week. Temperatures will average
below the seasonal normal for the
week.

Severe summer storms of light-
ning, thunder, high winds and heavy
rains will be in progress in the state
as this week begins.

About Tuesday the weather will
have cleared off with the tempera—
tures remaining seasonal to warm.
By the next day, however, readings
will be much higher.

With this warmer weather there
will be more storminess, some of the
rain and wind storms being unusu-
ally severe. Most of the last half of
the week will be stormy with the
probable exception of Friday.

With the drop in temperature at
the end of this week or beginning of
next frosts are almost certain to oc—
cur over northern counties.

Week. of September 9

The weather will be too cool for
proper growth during this week in
Michigan but rainfall will help
meadows and pastures.

The week willopen with fair, sun~
shiny weather with the temperatures
rather cool‘for the season.

About 'Monday or Tuesday there
will be increasing cloudiness and
showers or "rain in many counties.

While the middle days of the week
will be mostly fair the last half of
the week will be more unsettled with
rain and wind storms scattered in
various parts of the State. Tempera—
tures during this period will be warm
for the season.

At the very close of this week or
beginning of next temperatures will
take a sudden drop.
