EAR FRIENDS OF THE BUSINESS FARMER:—-

How time ﬂies! It is nearly sixteen years since the ﬁrst little four
page copy of “Michigan Business Farming” went into the Detroit post-
olfice.‘ Printed on salmon-colored news—print, containing only market

quotations and advice. You, our loyal old friends, immediately dubbed
it “the pink-sheet” and went among your neighbors saying good Words
for it and collecting half-dollars ‘for a year’s subscription. From that
day to this your support has been rolling up like a snow-ball! When the
list was counted June 30th, this year, we found ONE HUNDRED AND
SIX THOUSAND, ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT net-paid
subscribers on our list, 88.84% of whom lived on rural routes!

How can We, who stdod here in the pilot-house and guided the ship
through calm and storm, through uncharted waters, beset with rocks
which threatened destruction, begin to thank you, our old friends, for
your loyalty and support?

Your Tractor }
‘ Needs POLARINE

The engine of your tractor needs Polarine to protect it against heat and friction and
dirt. Polarine maintains a cushion of oil between all moving surfaces—keeps them
from getting too hot-:prevents the dust and grit from grinding them away.

A tractor lubricated with Polarine works smoothly and .willingly—whatever you give
it to do it does well—for it runs on a cushion of oil. ‘ , '

Polarine keeps your tractor in service. A tractor laid up when you need it most is
an expensive machine! It pays to keep your tractor running steadily -— always on
the job. It pays to use Polarine! That’s why Polarine is used on farms everywhere
in the Middle West. . ’ - I s .
Every. tractor needs Polarine—and a Polarine >motor oil is made for everyﬁ‘tractor.
No matter what make of tractor you own, there is a grade of Pofarine made
especially for it. ' .

Consult chart at any Standard Oil Service Station ﬁn- the correct grade for your tractor.

In the ﬁrst place, the individual may

3 given method and has no desire to
change. There are, however, many
farmers who have had trouble each
year harvesting the crop and. they
should try some other method.

Most Of us are familiar with two
methods of handling the crop. One
is to cure and haul the beans under
cover as rapidly as possible; the oth-
er is to cure and thresh the beans
directly from the ﬁeld. ' Both of these
methods are good when the weather

'man is considerate and a. threshing

machine is available. .

A third-method and one to be
recommended is the McNaughton
System of Curing Beans. This meth-
od is especially suited this year be—
cause many beans came up unevenly
the past spring. Other ﬁelds of
beans germinated and grew well at
ﬁrst to become spotted later on be-
cause at the damp cool weather. The
be vy rains during late summer have
also contributed to an uneven de—
velopment during the late period of'
growth. ,

Spotted Fields Hard To- Cure
__ " Fields of beans which are spotted
are very hard to cure in the tall.
It is impossible to pull those that are
ready and leave the green areas. If
they are pulled‘together the mature
beans may. shatter or they may be—
come discolored by rains‘ while wait-
ing for the green vines to cure.

Farmers Study Sand Soil Problems

va IRVING J. MATTHEWS

ORE than 500 farm folks in 158
M automobiles came‘ from all cor-
ners of Michigan on August
28th to the Pennsylvania Demonstra-
tion Farm, two miles north of How—
ard City, to see what only eight years
of deﬁnite cropping program will
produce in the way of yields and
crops from one of the lightest sandy
soil types on which Michigan farm—
ers are trying to make a living. There
were representatives from 28 coun-
ties.

It was impossible to count the
people but the automobile number is
actual, not extension count. And the
very large and exceeding“ interested
groups that followed Tourmaster Ha-
german from one ﬁeld to another
shows beyond the peradventure of a
d0ubt that there are many farmers
in Michigan who live an sandy soil
and who' are vitally interested in
learning more about how to make
such soils productive.

“The management of the soil has
a lot to do with electric lights, run-
ning water, furnaces, silk stockings
and vacations,” says William John—
ston,’ co’unty agent of Van Buren
county who was there.

The keen interest being manifested
in the results now becoming more
and more apparent at this farm can
perhaps be judged by the distance
that many of the visitors had driven.
The three farthest points represent-
ed, that I saw, were H. J. Lurkins,
county agent of Berrien county;
Clare ‘Burt’on, county agent of Clin-
ton cOunty and A. R. Shubert, re-
cently appointed county agent of Em-
mett county.

At the ﬁrst stop on the tour, B. O.

Hagerman introduced the Keystone ‘

pleasure‘of those in charge, and it is
hoped that each year will see a still
larger number because it brings in
animals from breeders who feel they
haven’t a- large enough herd to make
a showing of their own.

Last year the beef cattle show was

. considered a little light but that crit—

icism'did not hold good this year.
There were not quite as many milk-
ing ‘Shorthorns but the number of
Herefords was double that of a year
ago, while all the other breeds
showed up very good. The Michigan
Beef Producers’ Association Special
was especially interesting because
animals entered by 4—H Club mem—
bers offered such strong competition.
Wednesday Gov. Green auctioned off
the winning animals. Six were sold

“and .one entered by the Michigan

State College brought the top price.
It went to the Statler Hotel for '86
cents a pound. A steer entered by a
Clu bboy who is, now in his second
year’s, work brought 31 cents a
pound; which was the third highest
price paid. . Right next to him was a
boy who is in his fourth year of Club
work whose steer sold for 26 cents.

in the future. Club work will make
them better farmers and to have
them show in competition at fairs
gives them‘ ideas as to how other
boys and girls are doing the work
and urges them on to do still better.

So many hogs were shown this
year that the building would not hold
them so tents had to be put up to
take care of the overﬂow. The same
was true of sheep and poultry. High
quality was very pronounced in all
three and all the comments we heard
were most favorable.

Sheep Very Good

Mr. Noel Gibson, who judged the

medium wool sheep, declared we had

the ﬁnest sheep show he had seen;

any place except possibly at the re—
cent Ohio State Fair and he was not
so sure that we had to take second
place. then, which was a ﬁne compli-
ment as he has seen most of the best
fairs that have been held so far this
year. He was especially strong in
his praise of the Shropshires and
Oxfords‘, declaring they were out-
standing, but he was little less en-
thused about other breeds shown:
Officials were of the opinion that it
was the best display of sheep ever
shown at Detroit.
Horses Losing Out

The only

that is not showing progress is the

.to see this because we believe that in

the post will not stick throughlhe

Setting Posts

Set the next post 5 or 6 rods be-
yond the ﬁrst and between the same
windrows. The number of posts used
per acre and the distance between‘
posts depends upon ’the growth of
vines. Ordinarily there will be eight
to twelve stacks per acre.

The McNaughton System permits
the beans to be ulled and stacked
immediatelrmsggey cure out very
rapidly. One need not hesitate to
stack the few areas of green beans
along the with the rest of the ﬁeld.‘

Whatever method is used in the
harvesting of beans, you cannot make
good beans of those already damaged
in the ﬁeld. The bean ﬁeld should
be carefully observed every day
through the turning period and when
ready, start the harvest operations.

Steel Posts Preferred .

Steel posts are recommended but

wooden stakes or poles may be used

port the stack. Hastin built stacks
that lean or become squatty will in-
crease the amount of damaged beans. ,
Well made stacks may be left in the 
ﬁeld until the farmer is ready to ‘

The McNaughton System of curing
beans is very successful "if the pad
of straw extends beyond the stack
of beans so that the rains will not ..

little more attention in the future?

culture outshone those of previous
years. It was too bad that weather

' was not of the best during‘those

seven days-L—September 2 to 8-——be-
cause there is little question but
what‘a‘ll previous attendance records
would have been broken.
weather on Labor Day would have
brought out around 150,009x people,
officials believe, but rain cut the at-
tendance in half. Little real good

fair weather was hadduring the en- _

tire week and evenings were especi-
ally cool.

Never have we seen the Michigan
State Fair when it was more of a.
tarmers’ fair than this year. It was
like a great horn of plenty ﬁlled to

of the land, and Michigan farms in
. particular; '
_ Good Dairy Cattle Show

The dairy cattle show- was unusu-
ally good with~an increased number
of animals in almost every breed. As
in.previous years Holsteins led in
number and the herds owned by the

various Statelhstitutions proved to‘

bathe feature. "attraction. 'For the

pleasure'of those in charge, and it is
hoped that each year will see a still
larger number because it brings in
animals from breeders who feel they
haven’t a large enough herd to make
a showing of their own.

Last year the beef cattle Show was
. considered a little light but that crit-
icism did not hold good this year.
There were not quite as many milk-
ing 'Shorthorns but the number of
Herefords was double that of a year
ago, while all the other breeds
showed up very good. The Michigan
Beef Producers’ Association Special
was especially interesting because
animals entered by 4-H Club mem-
bers oﬂered such strong competition.
Wednesday Gov. Green auctioned off
the winning animals. Six were sold
wand one entered by the Michigan
State College brought the top price.
It went to the Statler Hotel for '86
cents a pound. A steer entered by a
Clu bboy who is, now in his second
year’s. work brought 31 cents a
’poundpwhich was the third highest
price paid. Right next to him was a
boy who is in his fourth year of Club
work whose steer Sold for 26 cents.

Clubs Make Good Showing ‘
Entries by the 4-H Club members

deserve special mention because of_

the number. and quality. Both 'are
on the increase and promise to ‘be-
comes, big part of the-show 'in years
to come.’ . .' , . '

in the future. Club work will make
them better farmers and to have
them show in competition at fairs
gives them- ideas as to how other
boys and girls are doing the work
and urges them on to do still better.

So many hogs were shown this
year that the building would not hold
them so tents had to be put up to
take care of the overﬂow. The same
was true of sheep and poultry. High
quality was very pronounced in all
three and all the comments we heard
were most favorable.

Sheep Very Good

Mr. Noel Gibson, who judged the
medium wool sheep, declared we had
the ﬁnest sheep show he had seen
any place except possibly at the re-
cent Ohio State Fair and he was not
so sure that we had to take second
place then, which was a ﬁne compli-
ment as he has seen most of the best
fairs that have been held so far this
year. He was especially strong in
his praise of the Shropshires and
Oxfords, declaring they were out—
standing, but he was little less en-
thused about other breeds shown:
Officials were of the opinion that it
was the best display of sheep ever
shown at Detroit.

Horses Losing Out

The only livestock department

that is not showing progress is the

.draft horses and we are very sorry
.to see this because we believe that in

spite of ‘the‘ increasing number of

tractors and trucks that are taking

the place of horses on the farm there

still is a lot of interest in the big .

horses. The applause they got when
they were led vor driven into the
judgingring in the Coliseum would

'cago,

indicate that it is about as keen as
ever. ’

Is there anything that will aroused, 
appreciation more

than a well—matched pair of spirited 1

this part of the State Fair have a

little more attention in the future?. ’
Michigan State 001-"

Horses from
lege won a large amount of prize_
money down at the Ohio State 
this year and then came to Detroit
and almost duplicated what they had '
done in the neighboring state. This 3
is especially interesting. when it is‘
considered that the College sold
around $7,000 worth of horsesslasx‘t'
fall during the International at Chi-
and many thought they ha
just about ruined their show string.
This fall Mr. Ralph Hudson, Colleg“
farm superintendent, is taking his
winners to Chicago with the inten--'
tion of showing the folks that M. S.
C. now has better stock than she
ever sold. And he will bring back
the prize money and ribbons, because.
he knows his horses. . .‘

GOOD SOLDER 'ACID
I would like a little information on
how to solder. Would like to know
the kinds of acid to use to make
solder spread and stick good. I have
used acid can solder but didn’t get
very good results—E. L., Saginaw
County.
VERY satisfactory soldering acid
A may be made by using ordinary
, soldering acid for the base and
introducing a certain 'proportion of
chloride of'tin and sal ammoniac

ini‘IIevery "way tothe old form. To
make one gallon of this soldering
ﬂuid, take 3 quarts of common muri-
atic acid and allow it to dissolve as
much zinc as' it‘will‘ take up. The
acid must be placed in an earthen-
ware Or glass vessel. The zinc may
be sheet clippings or common plate
-' spelter broken into small" pieces.
‘ Place the acid in the vessel and add
the zinc in small portions so as to
A prevent the whole from boiling over.
When all. the zinc has been added
and the action stopped, it indicates
_that enough has been taken up. Care
must be taken to see that there is
a little z‘inc left in the bottom, as
otherwise the acid will be in excess.

 

The idea is to have the acid take up,

as much zinc as it can.

After this has been done, there
will remain some residue in the form
of a black precipitate. This is the
lead which all zinc contains, and
which is not dissolved by the muri-
atic acid. This lead may be removed
by ﬁltering through a funnel in the
bottom of which there is a little ab-
sorbent cotton. or the solution may
be allowed to remain overnight until
the lead has settled and the clear so—
lution can then be poured off. This

lead- »precipitate is not particularly

injurious to the soldering ﬂuid, but
itis better to get rid of it. Next-dis-
SQIVe 6 ounces of sal ammoniac in a
pint of warm water. In another pint

‘dissolve 74 ounces o£.ch]oride of tin.

The chloride of tin solution will usu-
ally be cloudy, but ,this does not mat-
ter. Now mix the three solutions to-
gether. The solution will be slightly
cloudy when the three have been
mixed, and the addition oi? a few

' drops of muriaﬂc acid” will render it
. perfectly clear. Do not add any 'more

acid than is necessary to do this, as
the solution would then contain too
much of this ingredient and the re—
sults would beinjurious. '  ’
This soldering acid will not spat-
ter when the iron is applied ‘to it. It
has also been found that a poorer
grade of solder maybe used with it
than with the neual soldering acid.

‘ GETTING RID OF ANTS
Can you tell me the host way to

get rid of ants in the house?—-—Mrs.
" I. V., Dorr, Mich. ‘

HE ants that make large nests in
lawns and come from these nests
into the houses are easily con-

trolled as a rule by the use ol’. poi—
soned honey. The smaller ants which
make the tiny little sand piles all
over the lawn are not so easily con-
trolled, and as a matter of fact we
have no satisfactory way of handling
them.

For the nest-making ant we use
tartar emetic, honey, and pulverized
sugar, one part of tartar emetic is
mixed very thoroughly with twenty
parts of a combination of extracted
honey and powdered sugar. The mix-

ture should be kept cool so as' not 7

to thin it up and cause the poison to‘
settle out. Use a little dab of this

r

.on each ant mikperhaps af‘teaspoonu ‘
hi on a bit ottinvorg glass, andtcover

Over with a wooden box so arranged
that no animals or children can get
to the poisoned bait. '—-‘ This "is", “of
course, a violentpoison and must be
used with care ifat all, The idea is
not to merely Mkillthe’ ants which
come and eat the poison, but to use a
slow-acting poison which will work
slowly enough so that the ants will
carry home. some‘of the poison and
feed .it to their young before they
themselves die. It workmwell indeed
in the majority of cases when used
against the nest building ants. v

The tiny red ants that lovegrease
are not controlled in- this way but
sometimes may ,be controlled by sub-

stituting. grease for thehoney and
powdered sugar.

We have used beef
tallow and bacon grease'although the
latter is a little thin. Nevertheless
bacon grease is very attractive to the
ants and it one can keep 'it cool

"enough so that it does not melt in

the room, it works out very well.
Keep in mind the evtremely Ipoison-
ous nature of the bait at all times
and make sure that no accident
occurs.

CAN KILL DOG _
I would like to know if I have the

right to shoot a dog that comes onto '

our property and kills our turkeys.
And can I shoot any dog hunting in
our woods out oﬂrseason?—G. J. D.,
Hudsonville, Michigan.

Why Not?

HE past ten days have been spent
largely in threshing. Two half
days were lost by some little

showers that just wet grain enough
to stop the program. The machines

that thrash most
of the grain in
this neighbor-
hood- are of the
la rgest ones
made and they
require a large

me. n t h e m. I
t h i n k .we had
twenty-four men
, on the job at our
I place, this in-
cluded three or
four more men
than most farm—
ers have need for because We needed
more help in taking care of the
gram. But now it is all in the gran—
ary it will be fun to open a chute
and ﬁll a bag. I like to help with
Q19 threshing for the neighbors;
generally ﬁnd a chance todo a little
visiting! Get 3 Square meal with a
capital 8, but one of the things about
the neighborhood threshing I like is
something I doubt [many farmers take
advantage of, and this is a study of
the grain, etc. No two farmers have
the same exact condition pertaining
to their. grain and WHY NOT Study
their methods a. little, ask a few
questions and ﬁnd out Whuhis man’s
yield was so high and“ why his
neighbor’s was so low. Some of the
things I learned the past ten days
only go to prove what is already con-
ceded to be good practice. I learned
some of the things from grain or our
growing although it was on neigh-
boring land. ‘

We did not have seed oats enough
of our own growing to furnish seed
for the neighbor's part of the seeding
and on one ﬁeld of over twenty acres
we sowed our own seed which we
had treated for smut. We were drill-
ing when the seed for the owner's
part was delivered to the ﬁeld. It
had just been bought of a dealer.
The seed looked clean and, of course,
there was no time to treat it for
smut. After sowing the seed we fur-
nished, this dealer’s seed was used.
Result was, our treated seed was per-
fectly free from smut. The seed
which was bought produced a very
smutty crop. The yield also was be-
low the yigld of our seed. We
threshed for two other neighbors
who purchased some of this seed and
their crops were very smutty. An-
other nelghbdr has a little smut and
on questioning him he said he treat-
ed the seed for smut but was in too

 

L. W. Bleak-

. big a hurry to give it the proper

{ﬁngth of time to stand before drill-
82 . ’

Close observation also gave con-
siderable conﬁrmation to the fact fer-
tilizer pays when 'used on cats. I
ﬁgured where 125 pounds of 20 per
cent superdphosphate (acid phos—

phate) ~were used it made a gain of .

about ﬁfteen bushels per acre. The
fertilizer would cost about $2.25 and
the extra cats at the low price of 3-20
per bushel would ﬁgure at $4.80,
leaving a proﬁt above the fertilizer
cost. of $2.55. However this gain of
only $2.55 per acre would be $5.25
if oats were ﬁfty cents per bushel,
which they will be a. little later on.
The fertilizer will be 01'. great help to
the next crops.

Then here is a. man who has the
heaviest yield of straw found in the
neighborhood. The Oats are good, too.
But why is thestraw so heavy? He
made it‘clear when he said h's fer-,
tilizer was very high in pots con-
tent. _

Then there was a study of diﬂ'erent
ways ’01! shocking grain. Strange as
it"may seem two of the neighbors

shocked their grain by simply put-P
ting about. eightbundles in a sort, (it _.

straw as a result. The weather was
not suited to capped grain. Now
here you are, next year, maybe
capped grain will be the best by far.
Any way you ﬁgure it a farmer is at
the mercy of the weather sodas the
weather is never‘ﬂie some two years

Truly the farmers have a wonderful
chance to do something for the good
on their soil it they will use a little
good common sense in getting the
most out of their clover crep‘jwhich
is so nicely started. In some future
article I will tell what I consider are
some ways to use this clover to the
best advantage.

' vRain -

In my last article I mentioned the
weather being dry: It is. two weeks,
now and we have had no rain that
would do any good until last night.
when nearly two inches fell in the
course of two hours. It will certain~
1y tart a lot of plows, for farmers
have been Waiting for it.‘ Our teams
are at work getting out gravel from
a nearby pit and hauling it home.

We have put about thirty-ﬁve loads »

in our drive way and are piling up a.
lot of cement gravel which we hope
to use in some building before long.
Having the gravel on hand when
needed is a “heap big” incentive to
“start something.”

That Gas Tax

I am very much interested in the.
interest the readers show in the gasI
tax. Put me down as favoring a.
higher gas tax and a less weight tax-
on the small or medium sized motor ;
vehicles. 0n the larger cars and ;
trucks I believe the tax should be 5

much high-er than it is. The other i _

night I spent some time at a home on
the Old Chicago Pike, U. S. 112. This I
is a paved way put down about two
years ago. The traffic is tremendOus:
and the freight traffic almost beyond-l
beliet. Several of these giant trucks
with solid rubber tired wheels ac-‘l
tually shake the houses along the;
street. How long can the cement:
stand that kind of usage? It seems,I

, the freight trucking companies have,

no thought for pavements. On a. rev-l
cent drive‘ on this pike, we came up
behind a huge truck, it was at the,
foot of a long hill nearly 36 mile in;
length. -T-he truck was so heavily
loaded it -could‘ hardly move. The.
traffic was exceedingly heavy and,
with the truck being so wide we could!
not see any chance that might have,
appeared to dart out around it. 0011— . ‘
sequence was we slowed up and.
crawled along behind it-until the top
of the hill was reached. By this time
there were ﬁorty or more cars lined
up behind us! Should these trucks
be permitted to hold up traffic by
over-loading? Why not build an
extra 12 feet on each. side of the
present pavement and build it to
stand the strain of this heavy truck-'-
ing? And compel them to keep on
it, and then put a tax on these trucks
heavy enough to help pay tor the
road bad they use. Pomib'lfy a higher
gas tax would be suﬁicient for they
certainly do burn a lot of gas, at any
rate make them stand their share of
highway costs. However, pavements
and graveled State and county roads
are not ALL the highwaysthere are
in Michigan. Some of us’must live

PLYMOUTH MOTOR~CORPORATION
(Division of Chrysler Corporation)

THE new Chrysler~built Plymouth offers eniircly
I new style, size, comfort, ability and distinction
to the millions who desire and deserve quality and
performance at low price.

These buyers, measuring what others offer at or near
this price, find this newest Chrysler product giving
far more dollar~for~dollar value in full size, in style
and in every phase of performance, than any of the
few other cars in the lowest-priced group.

For no other than the Chrysler-Plymouth gives for
style the new chromium-plated slender~profile radi~
ator, the new type fenders, the pleasing new arched
window silhouette. No other gives for comfort and
elegance, such full~sized, roomy, luxuriously uphol-
stered and ﬁnely ﬁtted bodies. '

No other gives for performance true high compression ,
through the “Silver-Dome” high~compression engine
using any fuel; and for safety, the surety and ease of
light-action, internal expanding hydraulic four~wheel
brakes with squeakless moulded brake linings.

And these are only a few of the features unique to
Plymouth which are convincing thousands upon thou~
sands that the Plymouth is the standard whereby
to judge values in the lowest-priced fields—that any~
thing less than the Plymouth gives is less than your
dollar’s worth.

“Write for Booklet”,

Booklets that are offered through advertise-
ments, usually without cost to you, stand the
advertiser anywhere from ten cents in a dollar
apiece. He is willing to send them to you free
because he believes that you are really inter-
ested in the goods or the service he has to sell.

If you could look behind the scenes, you
would be amazed at the time and talent that
go “into the making of an interesting, informa~
tive booklet. There are facts to be gathered
and assembled; photographs and drawings to
be made into plates; matter to be written and
set in type; all of it checked for accuracy;
bound and mailed.

This is the advertiser’s way of telling you
things that you want to know—things that will
save your time- and, in the long run, your
money. Booklets and printed matter are silent
salesmen that come not only to sell, but to serve.

Read the advertisements in this paper.
When booklets are offered on subjects in ,which
you are interested, write for them, mentioning
this publication. Advertised goods of known
quality are safer to buy than unadvertised

goods of unknownvor doubtful quality.

I! Q C
Visits County 'Ageut
A few weeks ago I was in Cold—
water, Michigan, and had a very
pleasant visit with the efficient comr-

: ty agent of Branch county, Mr. Ward

Andrews. He showed me some sam-

= ples of com he had recently gathered

which were infest-ed Mithihe Euro-
pean Corn Borer. The familiar spec-
tacle made me shudder as these bor-'
ers were found in the same county
and only a few miles from Spring
Water Farm. The incident brought
very vivid memories to my mind of
the infested corn areas I have visited
at Monroe, Michigan, and Ontario,

; Canada, and of the havoc which the

corn borer has wrought at these
places. The spreading of this pest
calls for the utmost co-operation of
all farmers in clean-up regulations
and quarantine measures.rThe clean-
up rules have always been executed
to the letter on Spring Water Farm,
and in our community. It is with a
feeling of sadness mingled with dis-
gust when I read of some of the'
farmers of Michigan ﬁghting such
regulations which are made for their
own beneﬁt and for the aid of the
agricultural industry. I recently read
of a farmer in Jackson county. who
bitterly fought the T. B. testing for
his cattle, and thought at the time of
the old proverb: Don’t bite the hand
that’s feeding you.

On the other hand I realize all has
not been of the best in the enforce-
ment of these rules and regulations,
and also that much resentment was
encountered on account of the volun-
teer clean-up. The corn borer ques—
tion is a national one, and for this
reason I heartily endorse the plan
compensating the (armor for the
clean—up work. I shall use my ut—
most inﬂuence with our congressman
for such measures, and I hope that
all my brother farmers will do like—
wise, but I am not in sympathy with
some of the methods which have
been used to ﬁght these important
clean-{up measures.

Back to School

For a period of two weeks now, I
have spent the most of my time in
the class room and laboratory train-
ing high school students for their
important place in the world of to-
morrow. If there is anything or any
place more interesting and pleasing
than working on the farm close to
nature, with God's fresh air and sun-
shine,‘birds and- ﬂowers, I believe it
is the class room ﬁlled with our
American youth. ~

AS‘I look‘over our high school
student body of 7:00 eager, watchful,
and aspiring boys and girls, all dif-
ferent in their desires and capacities,
I realize more and more the respon-
sibility, the. interesting task, and. the
joyful work of a. school teacher. I
am'particularly interested in those
rural boys 7 and girls who come
from the country schools to enter
the high school course. The rural

Call on the Instructor

Several of my farmer friends came
into the agricultural laboratory this
afternoon to talk over some work
which they were doing on the farm. ‘
We had a Very interesting and f » 
they receix'ed the information which f
they wished. I am always pleased to ;
see farmers come into the laborabory, 3
and when I make this assertion I am .
also voicing the opinion and se-nti- ,
ment of the other 165 Smith Hughes 1 l
agricultural instructors over the '1‘
State of Michigan. rI‘he agricultural
instructors of Michigan believe that '
the service which they render should I
reach further than the four walls of
their class rooms, and I am going to
advise the farmers of Michigan to"
become acquainted with these men of ’ . '
your own high schools and use them. ,
I am personally acquainted with ,
them and can Voucli for their interest ,
and ability.

Just today I received a letter from
a farmer from New Troy» who wished _
advice on some horticultural prob— ,
iems. The best advice I could oﬁer I
him was to see the agricultural in- ‘ -
Structor at New Troy’and have him ,I
look over the work. Mr. Berry; who 3
is superintendent and agricultural in-
straCter at that place is a tall, hand-
some young man, and as his Me I
would indicate, knows horticulture. .s
He is a good natured fellow, and I j'
advise the farmers around New Troy i
to give him plenty of work to (do.

Price of Beans

Mr. James McBride, former State
market director, and myself had a
very pleasant interview with Gover-
nor Green several weeks ago on the
bean situation in Michigan relative
to a starting price of beans for the
Michigan bean growers. I was my
much impressed and pleased at the
interest and the broad view which
the Governor toék relative to farm
matters. The Governor informed me
that. he would do all in his power to .-
aid in securing for the farmers of
Michigan at fair price for their beans
or would use his inﬂuence in any .
other matter which related to the ‘
beneﬁt and interest of the farmers of -
this State. To my opinion this is a
very ﬁtting viewpoint for the Gover-
nor of our State to hold toward the
agricultural industry and the agri-
cultural people.

' ' OOI‘OBERI '

  

. . V 7 4 - .EGIONAL program-making is one
 " f“; " of the chiet innovations adopted
 3 ~ . ,x by the Radio Service. of the U. S.
' ~ . Department of Agriculture for its
fourth cease-not cooperation with
broadcasting stations in supplying in-
formation to tumors. The United
.Sta .57 is being divided into ﬁve re-
ﬁg ’ and the stations in each region
w l broadcast programs of the same
g era] titles, but. the facts given in
programs will apply in each re-
inn onlyto the farming situation
there. Region 1, which includes
Michigan and other northeastern
states is called “Hay and Pasture."
Region 2 is the corn and winter
wheat belt. Region 3 is the ‘eotton
belt and Subtropical coast. The
spring wheat, igreat plains, Rocky
Mountain, and arid inter-mountain
sections make up region 4, while the
Paciﬁc Coast is region 5.
- Another new development of the
farm and home radio programs rep-
v — resents an start to put more system
3 g' into the use of radio for information
‘ purposes. The Federal Department
- is publishing for the use of listeners
‘* to farm broadcasts the “U. S. Farm
Radio Record” which gives a. means
of setting dowu items of broadcast
knowledge for further reference ‘and
of sending requests for publications
of the department which furnish in
further detail the summarized .facts
presented in the programs. A simi-
lar publication, “Aunt Sammy’s Ra.—
dio Record,” will be available for lis-
teners to the housekeepers’ pro—
grams.
‘ The 1928-29 season opens on Oc—
‘. tober 1, 1928, and continues for 30
‘ weeks. Two daily broadcasts will be
\of especial interest to farmers, ac-
cording to the announcement just
made by Morse Salisbury, chief of
the Radio Service. The Farm Flashes
will carry 10 minutes of talk on time
and method of conducting farming
operations. .The U. S. Radio Farm
Forum, also a 10-minute broadcast,
will treat of the production and eco-
nomic problems or stockmen, crop
growers, dairymen, poultrymen, and
general farmers. Once each week
comes “Farm Science Snapshots,” a
weekly radio newspaper telling‘the
news coming- from agricultural ex-
periment stations of the world. A
monthly View of farming conditions
throughout the country will be given
in the, “Agricultural Situation Re-
View.”
For housekeepers the Radio Serv—
. ice and cooperating stations will con-
tinue the daily “Housekeepers’ Chat.”
TWO special weekly features, “Out—
doors with the Scientist,” and “The
Primer for Town Farmers” are of
general interest. Each month the
service includes a “Farm Pluylet,”
‘ di‘amati’zing problems of the rural
community.

The farm boys and girls will be
served by a new program, the “4-H
Club Crier,” bringing news of activ-
ities throughout the Nation of room-
bers of the young farmers’ and home-
makers’ clubs.

Programs now are being assigned
to more than 100 effective broadcast-
ing stations which havercquested

FARM RELIEF’PROBLEM
EAR EDITORzll wish to compu.
ment the subscriber, “G. L.- P..
Elsie," for his or her article un-
der “What the Neighbors Say,” date
of July 7. Such articles convince me
that after all there are many farm-
ers who think_and_ have in them the
makings of the men that will even~~
tually solve and cause to be solved

the gigantic farm relief problem.
When wecall a .doctor when we
are sick, it he is a good one, the ﬁrst
thing he will do is make a proper

diagnosis, which is done by the prop- _
. or understanding or symptoms which

appear to the untrained as diseases
in themselves. Thus it is with the
farmers troubles. Many of the
things the politicians are prescribing
for us is merely to treat the symp-
toms.
symptoms.

First, we appear to have a bad
“eruption” of what- is known as a
“Big Surplus." Not any two of the
big farm organizations can agree on
a plan to treat the symptoms and
even it they could and applied their
remedies it is plain that the real
trouble would be made worse and we
would still have more surplus.
ing the years 1909-19 we plowed up
40,000,000 acres of idle land and put
it into farms and commenced to crop
it. We cleared 5,000,000 acres of
timber land and did the same with
that. Why did we do it? Just this,
we farmers as a class are ignorant,
easily led by interests that proﬁt by
our plight. Who are these interests?
That is hard to get at, but they are
the men who control this whole sys-
tem of “farming the farmer.” The
agents of these interests are cham-
bers of commerce, railroads, immi—
gration and land settlement bureaus,
banks, and to top it off the biggest
offender is the United States govern-
ment itself. the one we are looking
to for relief. The agent of the gov-
ernment is known as the reclamation
bureau in the department of interior.
Ten million dollars have been spent
getting new farmers onto new irriga-
tion projects in total disregards of.
the food needs of the nation. The
result is that not only the new farm-
ers but the old ones as well ﬁnd
themselves in this deplorable ﬁx.

Now, it the farmers and those that
contemplate being. farmers will not
organize themselves and the various
farm organizations Will not unite
upon a constructive policy and all
pull together they will continue to be
in the next 100 years like in the past,
the victims of the interests that, ﬁg-
uratively speaking, take them by the
nose and lead them around.

Just remember that as yet we are
not farming half of our land in the
United States and we have yet 300,-
000,000 acres good for farming puri-
poses. Let us be “business farmers".
Let us organize. Let us calla con-
ference of all‘the farm organizations.
Let them appoint a committee rep-
resenting the whole. Let them go
down to Washington and they will
get anything they ask for from our
government that is constitutional, re-
gardless of which party is elected to
power.——C. E. Ackerman, Shiawassee
County. _

(Editor’s Note: Neighbor Acker-
man’s argument on farm relief is
very much in line with what we.have
argued through our columns . It the
farmers' organizations and represen-
tatives Will get together on a certain
remedy for the farmers' ills then
congress will do something, but as
long as they cannot agree how can
congress be expected to solve the
problem.)

SYSTEM, OF ASSESSING AT

FAULT - ‘

EAR EDITORz—I note'with in-
- terest, the discussion about

taxes in your paper. It seems
to me the biggest fault 'lies in our
system of assessing. With so ,many
inexperienced and unqualiﬁed people
to do the assessing (to say nothing
of the carelessness) in many different
townships, it is little wonder a great
many pay too high taxes. I know of
a good many instances where prop-
erty is assessed far below where it
should be, compared with property
around it and of others too high,
also, although the former, I believe is
far in the majority. This would at-
fect every one else in that township,
even though he had a fair assess-
ment, because his rate would be cor-
respondingly higher in all his ditter-
ent county, township. and State taxes.
Besides it would affect every one in
the county and state holding taxable
property, but in a less degree, of
course. If this condition exists in
many townships, which I believe it
.does, it would make quite a differ-
ence in the county and state tax.

We must take the job of assessing
out of politics, where there is too
much preference and carelessness,
for the general inclination is to fol-
low the way ot least resistance. Ap-
pointed qualiﬁed state or county as—
sessors, changed around each year
would. I believe, be a much better
system. I

I am pleased to see the state tax
commission laying stress on listing
buildings and improvements 'sepa-
rate, so as to arrivelat a truer and
more equal value. But, what must
be said of an assellsor who does not
even attempt to see the peopl eat
their property, year after year, nev-
ertheless, takes his pay, a lump sum, ‘
for doing the work, aer personally
know is being done. Equalization
is what we must have, but never will
get under the present system.—-J.
W. D., Neebish, Mich. ‘

 

PHEASAN TS PULL UP CORN
EAR EDITOR: So much has
been said in your paper about
the pheasants that I wish to re-
late ‘the trouble my cousin had with
them on his farm in Ingham county.
Last year he had about an acre
near the barn that he planted to
sweet corn and three times the pheas-
ants pulled it out after it got nicely
started. This year they are at it
again. They are certainly the worst.

MORE ON SOLDIERS’ BONUS
EAR EDITOR: In the May 26th
issue I noticed a letter on the
question 0t soldiers' bonus. I
feel the same about it as my friend,
Napoleon Belanger. I came home in
1920. My father signed my notes
and tried to get me started in farm-

.ing, renting a place on shares..‘

offered this place for sale,, $1,000.

TEXT: “Come now and ‘let ’us reason
together, saith the Lord.” _Isnlah»~1:._l§.

“ HE questions I am about to ,ask '

 yen, perhaps. ‘will' never- be an-
swered, but consigned'to the
wasteTbasket instead. Nevertheless,
they “are questions that have trou-
bled my mind for a long time.” So
writes a reader whose queries indi-
cate a mind arguing itself away from
Christianity. It is apparent that; our
friend is reasoning without faith”,
Our. text is taken from God’s ar-
raignment of his own people because
of their stupidity." “My people doth

.not consider.” Yes, they, went to

church and sacriﬁced and chanted.
And this was enough, they argued.
The pro'phets’ weepings and. judg-
ments were unreasonable. Yet, the
while, their sins grew more scarlet.
The 'text implies repentance and they
were not ready. But it is ever so.
Jesus cried to the Pharisees, “Why
reasOn ye? Have ye your hearts hard-
ened?” And 'we are‘ yet not‘ready
for humble-mindedness, surrender,
and‘faith. Let us have more Chris—
tian rationalists and less of irrever-
ent free-thinkers! 0 no, the Bible
does not stulify reason. It would use
it as an aid to faith in ﬁnding our
way to God and human responsibil-
ity. Thinking, to be deep and sober,
must be done in the realm of trust.
Our questioner’s troubles’center here.
He ends his letter thus: “The Bible
states that the Lord God Himself
made everything in this universe, the
Devil included. Consequently, in the
face of these facts it is utterly im-
possible for me to see how we poor
sinners are responsible for the acts
we commit when our destinies are
completely inathe hands of some su-
preme power.” “And Jesus answered
and said, O fai'thless’ and (perverse
generation." '

Now, what is: one’s responsibility
as to one’s destiny?_ Reasoning to—
gether implies we must sit at the feet
of Jesus. Here is harmony'and light.
Away from Him is naught but per-
plexity and darkness. Jesus proposes
that man is created for geodness.
Our Master heightened the moral
teachings and sanctions of the Old
il‘estament. These were the scrip-
tures that He urged ‘His people‘to
search.‘ As we open them 'We ﬁnd
Godsaying, “Let us make man in our
image,” that is, make him to be good.
The c'reational idea is that all of us
are children of a Loving, Heavenly
Father. And this includes all sorts

of mortals. It'embraces our cynical“

querist. “Cynical” is right. Any per—
son who declar‘es it as his belief that
“when God created the world, He
created it out of trash, so how could
the resulting product be any differ-
ent?” is sitting in the scorner’s seat.
He is sneering at God. He is indulg—
ing in highly vain presum-ptions.

. Said Pope, “Knew then thyself: pre-

sume not God to scan.” Jesus Christ
left many mysteries unsolved, but He
did notfail to exalt the dignity and
sovereignty of man. He reposed in

man the most implicit faith. He de-
clared that man would eventually
bring in the reign of goodness. Lis-
ten to His words, “As the Father has
sent‘ me, so send I you into the
In Jesus the Psalmist’s
s t a t e .m e n t is realizable. “Thou
crownedst him (man) with glory and
honor” and didst set him over the
works of Thy hands.” And in rea-
soning together with Paul, we ﬁnd
God saying, man is “foreordained to
be conformed to the image of his
Son." So, brother, quit your vain
presuming on God’s goodness. Cease
scanning Him for the purposes of re-
bellion. Know thyself. You are not
made out of “trash.” You are a child
of God and‘brother to men. Jesus
says so. And this furnishes ground
to exercise reason and faith in living.

But we are to be good in the pres-
ence of sin. Our friend would es-
cape responsibility for sinning since
he says that the Lord created the
Devil and evil to trap us. Well, the
Bible says, “And God saw everything
that he had made, and behold, it
was very good.” But Satan is not
“very good.” Then surely the Lord
did not make him. There are some
folks around you that are devilish
but the Lord made them to be good;
yet to be good in the presence of evil.
No, the writer does not know where
evil came from. Neither does he
know where God came from. But he
does know that when he opens the
Bible he meets God as the champion
of goodness, and Satan at the head
of the forces of evil. The two are in
combat for the mastery of the human
soul. Now what is the origin of—?
But hold on! We are forgetting that
we are reasoning together with Je—
sus; .and He says nothing about
where evil came from. Is that dis-
appointing to you? If so, you are
more curious than serious. Our In-
quirer asks, “Is God almighty?”
Well, Jesus says that He is. But He
also says that man is sovereign; that
he is free. Keep these essentials to-
gether. Jesus does not discuss
“whys” and “wherefores.” He simply
relates present facts and asks us to
recognize them. He recognizes sin
and paints it in awful colors. But He
provides a way of deliverance and so
makes one responsible IfOr one’s
choices. You are the determiner of
your own destiny.

Finally, the man who wishes good-
ness and character must go to Jesus.
Reason and faith dictate such a
course. He is ready to give power to
destroy the works of the Devil. If
one ought to go to Chicago, and one
has money enough' to go, moral con-
straint holds one responsible for
not going Every person has been
given spiritual power to get to Je—
sus; and therefore, here rests human
responsibility. ‘One’s destiny is in
one's own hands, and not “complete-
ly in the hands of some supreme
power,” as our fatalist friend says.
Let there be a sober facing of this

. fact.

"The Farm Paper of Service”

THE FU'HIRE .

ROM the message on the front cover you have

already learned that after this issue of THE

Busrmcss FARMEB there will no longer be two
farm papers in Michigan devoted solely to the
interests of the farmers of our fair State. You
have learned that THE MICHI-
CAN BUSINESS FARMER and Tm:
MICHIGAN FARMER have consoli—
dated and from now on there
will be only one weekly farm
paper serving the farmers of
Michigan.

This merger does not mean
that our ﬁght for the farmers
I of Michigan is at an end, or

our service and many features
are to be discontinued. The
only way it could possibly
mean that would be to sell out,
and we have no right to do

that. Sixteen years ago this next month Tin:

BUSINESS Farms: was founded and many of you
' were asked to help build this new paper which

made service to' agriculture its foundation, You
did your part and it became a success. It con-
tinued to grow, thanks to your assistance, until
it became a regular visitor in over one hundred
thousand Michigan term homes. To us who have
had a part in the work it is not just a term
paper, it is an institution 01 service, dedicated to
serve Michigan agriculture. If we sold out we
would be proving ourselves unworthy of the faith
and support you folks have given us. We would
be failing our best friends who came to our as-
sistance when we needed help. But we have
not sold out. Our ﬁght .is’ to go on. and our
features and service will {be continued. We have
joined hands with Tun MICHIGAN Farmer and to-
gether we will ﬁght harder than ever, give great—
J crud better servide, and issue a. weekly farm
“ ' er than ill'be second to nous.
._  All ofﬂodr good features which you have en-
 'ﬁcpied' and, we believe, wish to have continued
2 ,r'ﬁrill appear in the new publication. L. W. Mocks,

‘ of Broadmpe Farm, will continue his helpful and

interesting letters or “news and views." Rev.

Warner’s sermons will appear for a time at least

and right along if you say so. Herbert Natziger,

V. 0. Braun, C. H. Earnden, B. K. Osborn, and

others who have been regular contributors to our

columns will continue their services as in the
past. And in addition to these you will receive
the best features of THE Mrcmcan FARKEB. One
can hardy picture a farm paper having so many

. interesting and worthwhile features as the new

A paper will contain. Certainly there is not one now

in existence that can match it.

, In the past both papers have been obliged to

carry on the ﬁght of local competition. Through

the consolidation this is eliminated as is consider-
able duplicated work so that now We may use

"this ellort towards serving the farmers of Mich-
‘V ’ igan better than ever. As one who has served
_, you to the best of his ability on the editorial stall;

A LOOK AND [nouns YOUR CAR.
US’I‘ the other day we read an item in a news-
paper regarding a man who was driving along

a main street of a western city with a new,

automobile. ms hat blew oi! and he stopped his
car to recover it. Alta chasing his hat for about
a half block he ﬁnally got it and returned to and
his ear had disappeared. In the short time he
had been away from his car thieves had been able
to make away with it. It the officers succeed in
catching the thief he may get his car back, but if
they do not he can recover only part of its value
from insurance company, that is it he carried in-
surance against theft, In any event he is out of
the use of a car for a time and he loses money.

Anyone driving an automobile should doubly
protect themselves against loss through thievery.
They should look their car when they leave it and
they should carry insurance. And the insurance
should not cover just theft but-ﬁre, liability and
collision as well.

 

FABMER [S BUSINESS MAN
N AN editorial in Printers" Ink, a magazine that
I circulates among advertisers, we read the
statement, “The farmer of today is a real bus-
iness man, running his farm on a business basis.”
More and more people in every walk of life are
realizing that farming is not just a way to make a
living when you have no trade. It is a business
and it takes business men to run it and make a
success.

 

BULL ALMOST GOT HIM
S Sylvester Trierwieler was recently crossing
a pasture ﬁeld on his farm near Ionia he was
attacked by his herd bull and barely escaped
with his life. The bull knocked him to .the ground
and inﬂicted several bruises before he could be
rescued. ,

You get the best service from a bull that gets
exercise but he should never be allowed the run
of a ﬁeld, no matter how gentle he may appear
to be. It is gentle bulls that kill people more
often than ugly'ones because they catch folks un-
awares. Every tarmer who owns a bull should
build a bull pen in which to keep him. He gets
the needed exercise without running at large.

If you a herd bull write the Michigan State
College-tor information and plans for the bull pen.
Don’t wait until you or some of your family have
an experience similar to that of Mr. Trierwieler.

 

WOULD YOU?
WESTERN farm paper asks the question, "If
you were hiring men would you hire your-

self?” That question is not so foolish as it
may seem at ﬁrst. Think it over and ask yourself.
Would you?

 

PICTURES IN COLOR
F YOU are a great hand to take snapshots you

welcomed with pleasure the recent announce-
ment that George Eastman” of the Eastman

Kodak Company, had invented a device for the,

ready photographing of colors. If you have ever
taken a picture of an orchard in full bloom, or of
trees with branches hanging heavy with ripening
fruit, a beautiful ﬂower garden, or a wonderful
landscape and been disappointed—with it because
it lacked those many beauties that you saw with

your naked eye you can see the possibilities or"
this device. It seems almost too good to' be true. '

” WORLD GARMENT DECUAR '
I am enclosing an ad that I an-
swered about two monthsago. I sent

them $'1’.50~an_d have not heard from.

them. I am a widow and am trying

to make a living—Hrs. H., Hunger,
Michigan. . ,

HE advertisement that our sub-

scriber enclosed was of the

- World Garment Company, 346

' Sixth Avenue. New York City, who

advertise for ladies Who Want to
make extra money, “spare time, ex-
perience unnecessary; no selling.”
Instructions and material for sewing
dresses is what they have been sell-
ing. We say “hays been" because
the post office department recently
charged them using the mails

to defraud and putt'hem out of bus- u .

these.

A Mr. Frankstein and a Mr. Suc—

cadola operated this work-at-home
scheme which was similar to a large
number of others’ we have discussed.
They offered as high as $15.00 a doz-
en for the sewing providing, of
course, that it could pass their in—
spectors; they were to be‘ sole judge
as to whether or not the work we.
satisfactory. -First a deposit of $1.50
was called for‘to pay for the sample
garment. This garment was to be
sewed and Submitted for approval. If
it passed a deposit of $6.00 was re-
quired to cover the cost of material
for one dozen garments. If the ﬁrst
garment failed to pass inspection the
deposit of $1.50 was supposed to be
returned. Any other deposit was to
be returned when the‘party gave up
the work. '
— We would like to hear from any»
reader of M. B. F. who had anything
to do with this company, if there are
any, to learn if they did keep their
promises to refund the deposit. Most
of these concerns are interested in
getting the deposit and then seem to
forget any premises they have .made.
We. are wondering if the World Gar-
ment Company was like that.

As for helping our subscriber get
a refund we are unable to do any-
thing. Letters to the company are
returned unopened by the order of
the post office department.

ADVERTISING' CHEAP TIRES

ITHIN the last few days we re-
ceived an advertising order
from [an agency placing a fair-

ly large ad fora concern selling
cheap tires. The order went back to
the agency in the next mail with a
letter advising that we could not ac—
cept that type of advertising. We
could u’se the money all right but we
do not intend to proﬁt at the ex—
pense of our subscribers.

The ad stated that the tires being

sold were “all standard makes—-

slightly 'used and reconstructed."
Prices ranged from $2.35 for a 30:3
to $4.95‘for a 33x6.00. Tubes ranged
from $1.25 to $2.75. Also they. ad-
vertised a. “Free Repair Kit with 2
Tire Order." Anyone familiar with
the prices of standard make tires
knows that it would be impossible to
get tires that would prove service-
able at any such low ﬁgure as they
quoted in that ad. Certainly the re-
pair kit would be needed badly and
often. \ .
For‘your protection they make the
statement, “Satisfactory service guar-
antee, or we adjust'at 1/2 price."

~‘ Perhaps they would send‘you a sec—
ond 'tire at half price if your first one
did not turn..out to be satisfactory.
andthey might continue to exchange
on that basis for some time to come,
but would it be worth the time,
trouble and money? We think not.
Nowadays you get only what you pay
for. Most good tires will give you
good service, Awhile most poor tires
will give you poor service. A motor-
ist gets rid of a tire only after he
‘ has gotten about all the mileage out
of it and before he begins to have
trouble with it, so watch out for
used tires.

IJNOIEUM SALESMEN CALL V

TWO linoleum remnant agents
called on us this A. M. I asked them
how it happened they had such
large remnants left and they said
they only did big jobs such as hotels
and department stores, also said they
were from Kalamazoo. I asked them
to name some big concerns for whom
they had worked but they would not.
They also said they were going to do
a job in Battle Creek today. I asked
for whom and they said they didn't
know but it was somewhere in Battle
Creek. As I'didn’t have the money
they said they would call tomorrow.
Their story didn’t sound good to me.
They had a Dodge touring car with a
Tennessee license on it; No. 329-023.
—Mrs. E. B. D., Ceresco, Mich.

HESE chaps or some others of the
T same breed are apparently quite
active abOut the state. Our sub-
scriber was informed as to their little
scheme so she did not bite. Certainly
if they had been doing any “big job‘s"
. they would have been ready and will-
ing to give her the names and ad-
dresses ’she requested. Looks like
most of their jobs have been conﬁned
to defrauding the people. ’

FOOD FALLACIES
By 0. L. HUGHES
(Dept. of Home Economics. M. S. O.)
LSE ideas about food combina-
ations and the effects of food
in the body are ‘very common.
Many of our mistaken ideas have
been handed down from generation
to generation and the origin of them
is unknown to us.

But because of the mysterious
origin and because people, in general,
lack scientiﬁc knowledge of the facts,
a certain superstition prevails which
makes people fear to do or not to do
certain things.

A very common idea prevails that
ﬁsh is brain food and that celery and
onions are nerve food.
scientiﬁc foundation for this belief.
Different classes of foods have deﬁ—
nite functions in the body, but we do
not eat any one article of food for
one organ of the body. '

Another mistaken idea concerning
ﬁsh is that ﬁsh and ice cream, eaten
together, form poisonous compounds.
People who have been poisoned after
eating ﬁsh and ice cream have doubt-
less eaten one of these foods which
was tainted in some way and eaten
by itself would have had the same
.«effect.

Our popular

food combination,

ham and eggs, is really a food falm
Both foods have practically the _

lacy.
same food value—that is, both are
protein or tissue building foods. From
a dietetic standpoint it would be bet-
ter to combine with the ham 3. green
vegetable or a salad, thereby furn-
ishing elements that the ham does
not contain. However, ham and eggs
are good together, and we need not
worry about .a fallacy of this kind
provided we understand the composi—
tion of the ham and eggs and make
up for the deﬁciencies either in the
same meal or in other meals during
the day.

Many people hesitate to eat a ce-
real with milk or cream or to drink
milk at the same meal in which an
acid fruit is eaten. As a matter of
fact the gastric juice of the stomach

is acid which means that when milk“

enters the stomach it comes in con-
tact with acid. One would hesitate
to combine excess acid with milk as
it would be unpalatable. Lemon
milk sherbert is a combination of
lemon juice and milk and it practic-
ally always has a curdled appearance
before freezing yet no one hesitates
to eat a fruit milk sherbert and no
one has digestive or other disturb-
ance from eating it.

The amount‘ of acid obtained from

1 ‘orange or grapefruit eaten for break-

fast is not enough to make unpalat-
able or undesirable a cereal Vwith

pigment in the yolk of a brown egg
which may give the 'egg a somewhat
richer look, but chemically there is
no difference in the composition of a
brown and a white egg. "

In certain markets a higher price

is charged and willingly paid for

white eggs but the woman who will
pay more for white eggs because they
look more attractive to her has
money to waste. Many people have
a similar feeling about the attract-
iveness of white bread, but' fortun-
ately we are coming to realize the

Cheese is commonly supposed to be
very difﬁcult to digest. Cheese, as a
matter of fact, is a food already part-
ly digested, due to the ripening pro-
cess. It is, to be sure a very concen-
trated food being high in protein and
in fat. All fats retard digestive pro-
cesses, but if cheese is properly pre-
pared and eaten and if the fact is
taken into account that cheese is a
very concentrated food one need not
suffer digestive disturbances from
eating it.

Cheese is frequently eaten as a
food accessory—on top of arr 'other-
wise adequate meal and eaten in
that way may cause digestive dis-
turbances, but if eaten as a high pro-

tein, high fat food. in place of other

foods of like composition it is a val-
uable addition to the diet. A word
might be said here about. the cookery
of cheese as that is an important
factor in its digestibility.
should be ﬁnely divided by grinding
or, grating before attempting to cook
it and should be cooked at a low or
moderate temperature in order to
avoid toughening'it or making it
stringy. Tough, stringy cheese has
always been" over heated or heated.
too long and such cheese may be
more difﬁcult to digest.

Contrasted with the class of people
who look upon cheese as a food hard

“to digest, is another group that con-

siders cheese a great digester of oth-
er foods. It is, therefore, plain to be
seen that widely divergent ideas pre-
vail concerning some one simple food.

No article of this sort would be
complete without a mention of bak-
ing powders. Many people fear the
use of alum baking powders because
of the so-called ill elfects following
its use. When an alum baking powd-
er is used in'breads or cakes, two res-

Cheese ‘

 

idues are left in the product. One
of these is an aluminum compound
which has been found to be relative-
ly inert, and therefore does no harm.
The other residue is sodium sulfaté’
whichhas a cathartic action if taken
in large enough doses. But all types
of baking powders leave a residue
which has a cathartic action if taken
in large enough amounts and sub«
stances with such an action are, of
course,‘not to be recommended. The
amount of. cathartic residue to be
found in baking powder products,

- however, is small and unless one ha-

bitually uses large quantities ,of bak—
ing powder products one need have
no fear of injury from eating such
foods.

Alum baking powders are objec-
tionable to many of us from the
standpoint of ﬂavor due to the sodi-
um sulfate residue which is bitter in
taste, but not from the standpoint
of healthfulness.

A man once remarked that he had
found from his‘own experince that
one could eat large quantities of
very strong foodifone drank with it
a large quantity of Water. When
questioned as to what he meant by
“strong food" hexwasn’t quite sure
himself and fumbled considerably in
his reply. And so it goes with many
more notions concerning foods and
their wholesomeness.

The present generation has a much '
better understanding of foods than
previous generations have had,
thanks to modern research and to
the opportunity that We have for giv-
ing «training in this very important
subject.

composition of foods, many of our
false ideas concerning digestibility,
wholesomeness, and effects of foods

EAR BOYS AND'GIRLS: When
John Vlock suggested that we
have a “word manufacturing

contest” I’ll bet he didn’t realize how

much work it would be for those who
entered as well as the judges. His
idea was to see how many words any—

0 e could make from the three words.
,_ .15 Children’s

Hour Club.” I know
the boys and girls like contests of
this kind, so we had it. How many
words do you suppose the list that
'won ﬁrst prize contained? I’ll bet
' you could not guess in a dozen at-
tempts. It contained 1059 words
and was sent in by Anna Hoyt, R. 1,
North Adams. As ﬁrst prize she re-
, ceived a package of stationery with a
sealing wax outﬁt. Second prize went
to. Pearl Faist, Reed City, who had
948 correct words and received a.
’ vanity set consisting of mirror, comb
and case. A pair of temple book
ends as third prize was won by Carp—
line Bessy, R. 1, Alpena, who sent in
' a list of .878 words of which‘31 were
incorrect. Stella Fry, R. 3, Glad-
win, had 846 correct words—just one
less than Caroline—and received
fourth prize, a diary. _

I have some very good news for
you! M. B. F. and the Michigan
Farmer, the two farm papers that
have served the farmers of this State
for many years, have joined tOgether.
That means that “The Children’s
Hour" and the children’s department
of the Michigan Farmer-will become
one great big club of happy farm
boys and girls. \Vhat a club it will
be! I cannot tell you just how it is
all going to work out right at this
time because there, are still some de-
tails to attend to, but I know it is
going to be very nice. We will soon
tell you all about it.—UNCLE NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

 

Dear Uncle chz—I don’t suppose you
remember me. I used to write to Our
I'age often about 7 years ago. I am 17
now and graduated from high school in
June. ._
I think it is ﬁne that we have ofﬁce?!
now and an organised club. I haven’t a.
membership pin or card but I’ve been in-
terested in Our Page for so long that I
feel almost as if I were a member.

If I am not too old now, Uncle Ned,
may I write again and enter some more of
the contests? I want to write a long let-
ter if I may.
Wells, R. 5, Dowagiac, Mich. _
-—Welcome back, Josephine. I am happy to
know that you have been following Our
Page closely right along although you
have not written very often recently. If
"you would like to join Our Clpb I will
.send you a pin and card if you will for-
ward two cents and promise to live up to
our pledge. Will you?——Uncle Ned.

Dear Uncle chz—Education is one
thing that everyone should have in these
days of big progress. No one can get
along without education. A. boy or girl
‘without a 12th grade diploma is worth

' I  - .:
don’t know What theyﬁro leaving behind.
I hear a' lot of people say that they are

sorry that they didn’t get a high school

education when they were young because
they need it now. If you are educated
you can always reach a higher stage in
this world. ' r ‘

Nowadays you don’t need to spend a
lot of money, to be educated. If everyone
was educated in thistworld it would be
a different place to live in, but I guess
this is impossible. Anyway, everybody
needs an education these days—John
Vlock, R. 2,.Box 70, Carleton,- Mich. ‘ >
'-—-Your ideas ‘regarding education are
very good, John, and will no doubt cause
others .to write on the ‘subject.——_-Uncle
Ned. '

Dear Uncle Nedz—The letter of “A
Wild FldWer in Full 'Bloom” has arousedr
me to action. I agree with you, Uncle
Ned, 'I think ‘fWild Flower” is not as
wild as she claims to be. ,

I do not think Eathel Sharp is old
fashioned just because she is~against
drinking, smoking, etc. I suppose “Wild
Flower” will consider me old fashioned
also, but if she does she is mistaken. I
am as much of a ﬂapper as she is if not
more. ,

I abhor drinking and smoking al-
though I do like bobbed hair. It is our
placerto take care of the health of others,
isn’t it?

As for public dance halls, shows, and
such, I don't see anythi g the matter
with them. I do not go to public dances
because we live too far away from them
but I attend shows frequently.

I to? am sociable, Eathel and “Wild
Flower,” and I have lots of friends, and

 

A. SMILE FOR EVERYONE

Bernice Allen, R. 1, Box 73, Elmira, is
known as “The Smile Girl" because she
has a‘sunny disposition and a smile for all.

boy friends too.
I am not wild. I wonder if “Wild Flower"
considers herself a- sport? I don’t, at
least not a good sport. Anyone who con-
sidch drinking and smoking all right is
not a good sport to my way of thinking.
When a person is sociable and also tries to
get young fellows to cut out smoking and
drinking they are what I consider good
sports.

As for there not being anything in life
when you are old, I think she is silly.
Old people enjoy themselves as much as
we young ones do.

I'think I have said enough about “Wild
Flower” so I will say something about
myself. I am a sophomore in high school
'and am considered the third best scholar
in high. There is one thing in life that I
have always wished for and that is a
mother’s love, which I have never known.
My mother died when I was 2 years old.

One more word to "Wild Flower." You
have heard from another “Flapper Gal”
and what is your opinion of her? Not
much I'bet.—”Sandy."

O

--I am sorry, “Sandy,” that you have
never known the love of a mother. Cer—
tainly you have missed one of the very
ﬁnest things in life. -

Dear Uncle Ned.-——-I am going to give
my opinion on the subject the President
wants us to discuss. I heartily agree
with Eathel and John, but disagree with
“Wild Flower.” ‘

I know lots of boys that every where
you see them they have a big pipe or a
cigarette in their mouth. I think that
looks pretty bad but still worse when
they get intoxicated. They don’t know
what they are doing. I think getting
drunk is worse than smoking, don’t you.
Uncle Ned? -

I think our great—grandmothers had
just as much fun in their young days as
we do now, for that matter. And I think.
they lived a more spiritual life than a lot_
of the younga' generation. I think there ‘
are other ways of. having fun instead of
going to shows and dances, and {know
the ones that don't gonna just as hapm’
as the ones that do... I  t , -

Dear Uncle New—1431:! Sh! rm com-
ing. I’m here. I have some good neWS.
I graduated from the eighth grade and so
am ready to ,hit a higher spot. My com-
mencement day ended at Elisabeth Park,
Trenton. I surely“ had a. wonderful time,
Uncle Ned. You should have been there,
you’d have enjoyed yourself very much.
I suppose there Were many cousins that
I didn’t know. I wish I knew all the
cousins but that’s impossible?

I am preparing myself for high school.
Do you think I will like it, Uncle Ned?
I think I will. I think every boy and
girl ought to go to high school. Well I
must ring off. I hope the waste basket
has just had his tonsils out. Your nephew.
—John - Vlock, R. 2, Box "0, Carleton,
Mich. ' "

——Hello, John. You are getting to be a
regular caller. I am sure you will like
your work in high school. Some girls and
boys do not'but they should stick to it
just the same.because some day they
will be very sorry if they drop their
work. College training is very valuable in
making a success of life noWadays.—
Uncle Ned.

 

Dear Uncle Ned.~—How is the world
treating you these fine: days? Just ﬁne'?
W'ell, that’s ﬁne. What? Did you say
not so good? Well, that certainly is too
bad.

I, certainly like to, read the Children’s
Hour. I am interested‘ln the discussions.
I just got through reading John Vlock’s
and “Wild Flower’s” letters. I agree
with John fully. Stick to it, John. There
aren’t very many boys that will say that.
I just despise a boy that drinks. I think
drink is the worst habit that was ‘ever
formed. A man who offers drink‘ to his
boys is certainly a fool, I think, and the
boy that can refuse drink from his father
is a sport. He knows what is good for
him. That kind of a. boy is away up in
my opinion.

As for “Wild Flower" I certainly disa-
gree with, her strongly in some ways.
Certainly we don’t have to be old—fash<
ioned and sit around with long faces as
if we had lost our last friend. But I really
don’t like to see these half dressed, boy—
ish bobbed, and painted faced ﬂappers
running around. I must admit I do use
face powder a little but I don’t put it on
like some girls do. _

Another thing I despise is public dance
halls and theaters. I don’t think a girl
or boy will go to those places. There are
lots of nice amusements without going to
them.

I, too, think that while a person is
young he or she should be full of fun but

Keystone Rotation * ‘

The Keystone rotation has now
been in operation eight years‘and as
Dracticed on the “home” farm con-
sists of: First year, oats and peas

with whiCh sweet clover is seeded. A _
bushel each of oats and field peas are'

used "'with from 10 to 12 pounds of
sweet clover seed.

The second year is naturally the ‘~

second year for “the sweet clover. The
ﬁrst growth is out high for hay, the
second growth-is allowed to grow un-
til late in the summer when it is
plowed under, and the ground seeded
to vetch and rye, one bushel or rye
and from 12 to 15 pounds of'vetch.

The third year, the rye and vetch is
cut for grain, the stubble is dished
under and more vetch and rye sowed.
Generally enough shatters while cut-
ting the grain to reseed the soil it
it is well covered and packed. »

The fourth year, this growth 0
vetch andrye is disked or plowed
under and a cultivated crop such
as corn, potatoes, beans or soybeans
seeded. When alfalfa is to be sown,

it is seeded at this point in the rota-v

tion; occasionally the soil is put to
oats, and sweet clover seeded with
it.
vetch andrye is seeded in it previous
to the last; cultivation. 'On the 28th
of August, they were just cultivating
in vetch and rye that had been sown
in the corn.

Liming is invariably applied the
ﬁrst thing on the program.

Some limestone has been applied
but more recently the practice has
been to put on ﬁve or six loads of
marl per acre. Soil acidity must be
corrected before such a legume pro-
gram can succeed and the reader
will at once observe that there isoa
legume growing on the soil during
three years out of the tour and that
ample provision is made for plowi
under organic matter.
believes that most of these sandy
soils need organic matter ﬁrst and
that saving the season’s moisture i
one of the big problems, so the rota
tion provides for plenty of organ 0
matter. ‘

One other tenet of the syste
needs emphasis. Long ago Hager~
man became convinced that sandy
soils always suffer from plowing and‘

x no the rotation provides that no soil
shall lie bare during the winter. As
far as possible, the ground is stirred
with the disk and then it is always
packed down again with the culti-
packer. For farming sandy soil, he
considers this the most valuable of

- all tools. He advises that it be used

to complete the work on all ﬁelds
and that it be run north and south so
the prevailing west winds will not
have a chance it? sweep up the fur-

. rows and commence eating away the

soil. _
Over the Route
‘ Now we will take a swift run over
the route of the tour and you can see
it through my eyes.

Here we are at step one, where
sweet clover was seeded in oats last
spring. A year ago, this was in corn
but Jack cut it hard in August,
vetch and rye were seeded in it the
last cultivation and last spring, the
vetch and rye made such a growth
that it was pastured some and the
plow had to be used to get it under
at that. The sweet clover is a ﬁne
catch, one plant on about every six-
inch square. _ I see little lumps of
the marl left on top of the soil. This
soil is certainly light stuff, a little
dark on top but sent down a bit and
you are into the real old ginger sand.

‘ Doctor McCool would call it Plain-

ﬁeld sand.‘ It would make a. ﬁne
sandpile if it was bleached a little.

Stop two new is just like stop one
when I saw it last August. But now
it is in second growth sweet clover,
knee high, the ﬁrst crop having beem
out eight or ten inches for hay.
There is a lot of seed on this second

inshore“ before our eyes; This
ﬁeld grew 9. ﬁne crop. of vetch and
rye-which is now waiting to be
threshed, the ground has been dished
up and ‘the cultipacker is at work,
covering the'second seeding of vetch
and rye and arming the soil. It is
running north and south. Probably
the manmn the cultlpacker knows
the better than I do for it ‘is a hot
day. ‘ ,

Stop four and we are looking at
wonderful com” the best I have seen
anywhere north of Grand Rapids.
When I saw this ﬁeld the 20th of
June, the corn rows appeared as
faint yellow streaks through a sea
of blue-green quack. But now it
looks like it might make 45 or 50
bushels to the acre. A wonderful
green color. Across the ﬁeld on an-
other farm is corn that looks more
like saffron. .

The Keystone system contemplates
putting all food through the barns
and spreading the manure back on
the ﬁelds. This corn is on alfalfa

sod, manured, and 150 pounds per“

acre of 24 per cent superphosphate
used. ,
Establising Alfalfa
Stop ﬁve is a story of what fer-
tilizersto use for establishing al-
falfa on this soil type. It is noon and
the sun is playing on our backs. The
sweat trickles down if we stand too
long in one spot. Green is cooling.
Here are ﬁve green strips, four of
them much greener than the ﬁfth.
Between each one is a new alfalfa
seeding, no treatment—straw col-
ored. The trips are 0—16—0, 0-16—8,
046-16, 0-16-24, and 0-16-30. The
superphosphate strip is little better
than lime alone but the alfalfa
shows up greener‘and thicker and
ranker as the potashcontent of the
fertilizer is increased. “B. 0." ad-
vises the folks to use 200 pounds per
acre of an 0~20—20 formula for es-
tablishing alfalfa on this soil type.
Now we are at the dairy barn
where these good legume roughages
are stoked into grade Guernsey cows.
These cows have been in the local
cow testing association ever since
9 there were enough of them. for the
herd was started in a practical way,
using a purebred bull on grade cows.
And'here again are signs of the im—
provement which this practice brings
and cow testing association records
bring out. Here is one of the ori—
ginal grade cows that ‘made 410
pounds of butterfat as a four year
old but right beside her is her
daughter that made 443.6 pounds of
butterfat as a two year old!

Makes Good

“I could make money farming,”
said a farmer to me, “if I had a big
railroad system behind me." But he
was wrong for I happen to know
that "this term and its business has
to stand for audit Just as does the
other business of the railroad.

In the course of his address after
dinner, Doctor R. S. Shaw spoke ap-
preciatively of the work that Roger-

into action that pays you real dividends.

When . you buy a Goodyear Tire from him

affords.

He sells it to you at a fair price, which gives
him a living proﬁt and you a good value.

He makes sure you get the right size and

agriculturally as the years roll along.
He pointed out that the territory has
distinguished itself in the produc—
tion of potatoes, that dairying is
on the increase and he believes that
beef breeding will have a place in its
future development.

Personally, I would like to- see
many more demonstration farms——
farms ,where several good practices
are made to lockstep to the end that
the farm earns a proﬁt and provides
a good home and enough funds to
educate the family and make pos-
sible a standard of living on the
farm that, is just as good as can be
found elsewhere. 'It seems to me

Getting the Most Out of Your Landn-and Out oi Your Dollars

There’s a farmer in South Carolina who is paid a premium of ﬁve cents a pound

for his cotton by the manufacturers who buy it.

There’s a farmer in Ohio who averages very close to a hundred bushels' of corn

from an acre, while his neighbors are getting sixty.

And there are farm men and women who are getting a full hundred cents’ worth

of value and satisfaction from each dollar they spend, while others get less.

The cotton grower has selected his seed—and
used the most up-to—date methods in raising crops. So has the corn grower.
Neither has guessed about anything. I

OUTLOOK FOR SHEEP,

The outlook for-the’sheep industry
in this country during, the next few
years r indicates 2the ,need' for consid- _
erabl'é cautionv'in regard _to further
expansion in production. 'The last

'low point in sheep, numbers was

reached ,in 1922. Since then there
has been considerable expansion in
ﬂock numbers andfthis'cxwpansion ap-
pears to be continuing. Flock num-

;bers at the beginning of 1928‘were

the largest ‘in‘1'6 years and ‘23 per
cent larger than in 1922, with more
than half of this increase taking
place during the last two years. The
industry is deﬁnitelyon the upward
swing of the production cycle and
numbers have increased at a prom
gressive rate, averaging for the last
six years about 1,500,000 head per
year, while slaughter'in the last ﬁve
years has increased on an average
only about 400,000 per year. The

increase in slaughter has been largely ,

offset by the upward .trend in the
consumer demand for lamb with the
result that lamb prices, barring sea-
sonal variations and short periods of
excessive market supplies have been
comparatively steady for several
years, hence the domestic market can
absorb some increase in lamb pro-
duction each year at least in line
with the normal increase in popula-
tion.

MICHIGAN DAIRYMEN TAKE THE
’ LEAD
ICHIGAN dairymen are setting
the pace for quality herd pro-
duction that is too hot for many
other states to follow. '

The recent classiﬁcation made by
the Bureau of Dairying, Washington,
D. 0., shows that 61 %% of the herds
tested in 82 Michigan D. H. I.‘. A’s
during 1926-27 averaged more than
300 pounds butterfat. There were
1,829 herds studied in this tabula-
tion. 1,125 of them produced more
than 300 pounds butterfat average.
38%% or 704 herds produced less
than that amount.

Michigan Holsteiners

MILING SKIES following a rains;
day brought out close to ﬁve
hundred Holstein folks to the

Sixth Annual Field Day held Friday,
August 25th,- at Blytheﬁeld Farms,
Grand Rapids.

The visitors soon joined the heav-
ens—that is in the smiling business
-—-for Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Brew-
er, owners of Blytheﬁeld and hosts
of the day ushered the crowd to the
groaning tables arranged in the
spacious decorated implement shed.
The big feed, served by the Pantlind
Hotel, started the program with a
bang!

The one speaker was H. W. Nor-
ton, Jr., of Delavan, Wisconsin, Su-
perintendent of Advanced Registry
for the Holstein Eriesian Association
of America. He explained the new
herd test, complimenting Michigan
breeders for the top place held by
their State in numbers engaged in
the test.

.A surprise attack was made on
Prof. O. E. Reed when his many Hol-
stein friends presented him with a
"little farewell memento—a fountain
pen desk set. Prof. ’lowed that he
would not soon forget/Michiganders
in his new position as chief of the
Bureau of Dairying, Washington,
D. C. ‘ ‘

There Is plenty to be seen in a.
herd like Blytheﬁeld which was ﬁfth
highest last year in the U. S. A. in
proven production. Each animal was
placarded with name, age and recs
ords. In addition a short parade of

The visits of j the . cow tester, to

ers—A. C. Baltzer,

“FLUSHING” INCREASES LALIB
CROP

HEN ewes are bred they should
be gaining. in~ weight. Place
them on abundant pasture or

add a grain supplement for two or
three weeks before breeding. This
practice, called “ﬂushing,” tends to
increase the proportion of twin lambs

and thus increase the lamb crop. In "

six years of experimental work the
Bureau of Animal Husbandry of the
United States Department of Agri-

,culture found that there was an av- .

erage of 187 more lambs per 1,000
ewes as a result of ﬂushing.

I received a check from the company
today. Thanks to you for your trouble.
-They settled in full. Now as soon as I
can go to work and earn a dollar 1 am
going to send you a dollar to help fight
the pesky thieves.—S. A. (3., Par-ma. Mich.

Hold Sixth Field Day

The “You Pick 'Em” contest .fol-
lowed. Three cows and one heifer,
each outstanding in some particular
point of dairy type, were led before
the crowd. Thirty seconds per ani-
mal was allowed for each "picker"
to note on a_card his impressiou.
Cards were collected and Mr. Burnett
then indicated the respective [promi-
nent points. Out of 68- cards turned
in 2 men—~Fred Schroeder of Grand-

ville and Albert Jenkins of Dimon—'

dale—saw .the excellency or defect
in each animal same as the judge

did. Sixteen men get right three‘o'f “

the four, and 19 checked on two of
the four points.

In a regulation judging contest
conducted by Geo. Girrbach, dairy ex-
tension specialist, M. S. 0., on a. ring
of four cows the high scorer in the
men's division was H. A. Knapp of
Owosso. Arvid Miller of Fremont
was a close second, and ,Fred
Schroeder, Grandville, was third. In

SUB-ACUTE INDIGESTION
I have a mare that has sick spells

come on her at times when I water

her. These come on mostly in the
winter although she has had a couple
lately after being on grass. The
symptoms are, she goes off her feed,
lifts her upper lip, switches her tail,
drops her head to the ﬂoor, pawing
and making/short to lay down. After
laying down she passes a quantity of
grass and is all right. I feed her
mixed alfalfa hay. Would like to
know what is the trouble and rem-
edy.——H. 0., Arcadia, Mich.
HIS mare is bothered with sub—
T acute indigestion or what is
known in the human as colitis.
This is a chronic inﬂammation of the
large colon or large gut. ‘ Sometimes
horses show these symptoms more
when being fed corn. If you feed this
mare corn, discontinue itand feed
other grains. The only thing to do
-for this animal is to feed her lightly
and attempt to keep her bowels in
good condition through careful teed-
mg.

Have pigs in thrifty growing condition
before cold weather begins.

 

For heavy winter production, pullets
must be well developed and vigorous.

 

Larger farm businesses will make more
than small ones with normal conditions.

 

Fall freshenlng is conducive to a higher
production per cow for the year.

only hope of cure was an ,operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got

the rupture has never-returned; although
I am doing hard ‘ work as agca'rpenter.

MICHIGAN STATE FAIR PROVES
TO BE “BEST SHOW YET”

(Continued from page 3)

hibits of grain, potatoes, vegetables,
fruits, ﬂowers, the State Department
of Agriculture, and several others.
Like in livestock, entries in grain.
potatoes, vegetables and fruits were
greater than oﬂicials expected and
everything was crowded. It looks
as though we built our Agricultural
Building too small or we are going
to have to put the ﬂowers in a special
building of their own.

Calhoun county had a very inter-’
esting and attractive display of fruit.
In the center of their exhibit ap-
peared a picture of the White House
and below it was a question mark
made of apples. Then on one side
of the White House was a large ele—
phant, and on the othervside was a
donkey, both of them made up of
apples. Below the ﬁrst one appeared
the name, “Herb” and below the
other, “Al.” They also played up a
slogan, “Michigan Fruit for Flavor,"
that was very good.

M. S. C. Exhibits “

The outstanding exhibits in the
Coliseum were those of the animal
husbandry and poultry husbandry
departments of Michigan State Col—
lege. No thinking person could stand
before any of them for a moment
without taking away with him some
worthwhile thought. ,With a banner
across the top of their exhibit de-
claring, “Better Poultry Pays,” the
poultry department showed with
charts and living examples how it
does. And the displays of the ani-
mal husbandry department Were
equally as eﬂective. Some of their
slogans were: “Feed Hogs for More
Proﬁtable Returns,” “Breed Good
“Grow
Colts, Well,” “Save Only the Best
for Breeders,” “Pasture Beef at a
Profit,” “Dairy Proﬁts, are Increased“
by Properly Feeding Selected Cows,"
and “Intelligent Breeding, Feeding_
and weeding Make the Difference."
With these to start one thinking
there were charts and living exam-
ples to give further information.
Across the top of it all appeared a
banner carrying the line, "LivestOCk
———the Basis of Permanent Agricul-
ture.” . , ‘

Any farm man or woman who vis-
ited these exhibits and did not proﬁt
by it, who did not ﬁnd something in '.
them to take home and try out with
proﬁt to themselves, is hopeless.

There were other exhibits of great
interest in the Coliseum of‘ which
that, of the State Department of Con-
servation -was outstanding. Fish
that inhabit Michigan’s lakes and
streams ; and animals =y.that roam.
through gin-“woods as well as many
of 'our birds Were._6hown' to 3.19189

Rock Gardens.——By F. F. Rockwell,
author of "Around" the Year in the Gard-
en," “The Book of Bulbs,” etc. Rock

gardens, until recently, have been thought ,

of as suitable mainly for large estates and.
pretentious properties. Now, however.
with the rapid growth of suburban settle— I
ments and the increasing interest in this
fascinating form of intimate gardening, "
rock plants are being heed to beautify
even, the smaller places. . . i

In this book, Mr. Rockwell tells just
where and how to make a rock garden,
what plants to use and where to put them.
He gives many suggestions'for making
a charming garden spot with these. in-
creasingly popular plants. Price $1.00.

Beekeeping—By Everett Franklin Phil-
lips, Professor of Apiculture,. Cornell Un-

recognized as the best book on the sub—
ject, both for amateur. and commercial

now included in this new and revised
edition to bring it entirely up to date
throughout. Of special interest is the new
information on honey plants and an en-

OTTAWA POULTRYMEN PLAN . .

SHOW IN OCTOBER

HIS is the day of combines and
consolidations. Take the poult-
rymen of'Ottawa county for ex-
ample. There have been three poultry
associations in the county but they
have now joined together into' Otto;
wa County's Greater Poultry 'Ass’n
.80 that they may serve the poultry-
.. men of that county better than ever.
They appreciated that one large or-
ganization could do much more than
threesmall ones .and the combine

was the result. ' .v -
v A huge show ,festival is planned
{or October 10,11, 12, and 13, at
the fairgrounds-at Holland. In the
main it willbe a poultry show of
ree big classeswexhibition, breed-
rs production, and hatcheryman's
_tree-for-all production—~but there
‘Will be-also a rabbit and cavy show
and a dog show, bringing together
“the best in' these lines that is pro-Z
duced in 'OttaWa county. Located in
Michigan’s leading poultry produc-
tion county this show is bound to be
the best thing of its kind in the State

and perhaps in the entire country.

 have a goose that lays all
double yolked eggs-and would like to
know if she will keep on laying
* double yolked eggs or will she stop

after this year. This is her ﬁrst

/year to lay eggs.-——R. P.,‘"Bannister,

INFECTIOUS BRONCBITIS
Some of our hens make a wheezing
noise and ﬁnally their ‘combs get
blue and they linger along for some
time and die. They have no swell-
ing of the head or eyes. Could you
tell me what youthink the trouble
is and what to do for them?—G. B.,
Holland, Mich.

seems to me that your chicks

qust have an infectious bronchi-
’ tis. The best method of handling

this disease is to keep the sick chicks .

away from the well ones and to clean
up and disinfect regularly. a Clean
and disinfect the feeders and foun-
tains every day or at least every
other day until the birds recover.
Feed all grain and mash in the feed-
ers so the birds do not pick up infec-
tion with the feed. Believe you can
overcome the trouble by handling it
in this-manner.

SEX OF GEBB

Please tell me a deﬁnite way to tell
a gander from a. goose ?——H. J ., Deer-
ﬂeld, Michigan.

HE only deﬁnite way that you can -
tel the goose and gander apart
is to turn them on their back

 

posit-ion place the ﬁngers of either
hand on either side of the vent and
push downward and inward with con-
_siderable force. This pressure will
bring the breeding organs, of the
gander into view, and this is the only

deﬁnite way that you can tell the two
sexes apart;

PAINT these swellings with tinc- ‘

' I ’  ’ﬂarket New. Bcrﬂceghurean of Agricultural Economics, (J. '8;  A.

(Special to Tim anmnss Funannl

I ARM markets settled'into' slower
pace during the opening days of
the fall season. There were not

"manyvsharp changes in price or in

market position. Grain and cotton
Continued "unsettled, waiting for
more crop news. Live stock and
wool prices held fairly well. Dairy
products and eggs at least hold their
own: Potatoes lost what few price
gains Wore made the .past few weeks.
Onions made further gains. Melons
and tree fruits ﬁnd prices mostly
well maintained.
Grains Unsettled to Steady

The wheat market continued un-
settled.
erally below market requirements
and prices held steady as a result of
a‘ continued active demand. Arrivals
of oats and barley were only moder-
ate and were readily taken at ad-
vancing prices. The. ﬂax markets
were practically unchanged, with a
good demand prevailing for the larg-
er receipts. Rye prices ﬂuctuated
with wheat.

‘ Hay Firm
The hay market was generally
(ﬁrm. Prices of most feeds were

lower in early September, inﬂuenced
by. liberal offerings and a slow de—
mand. Pastures and meadows are
mostly good from the Mississippi
Valley eastward, which is restricting
the demand for mill feeds. Produc-
tion of wheat feeds continued of good
volume and with a slow demand,
prices declined. '
Good Demand for Cattle

The cattle market was featured by
urgent shipping demands for ﬁnished
grades of fed steers, choice light and
medium weight butcher hogs and for
fat lambs, while the hopeful view of
future prices held by ﬁnishers was
reﬂected by a broad and insistent
country demand for'feeding grades
of both cattle and lambs.

Hogs and Sheep

The August hog supply at leading
primary markets was among the
smallest for August in recent years.
Cattle marketings during the week
carried an increased quota of grass-
ers but showed a distinct lessening
in the numbers of long fed cattle
.With weight. The crossing of the
$13 line for best light and medium-
wcight hogs, the scoring of an ex-
treme of $17.75 on choice yearlings
and mediumweight steers .and a
$15.50 top on fat range lambs Were
high lights in the recent trading.

Increasing prospect for a bumper
corn crop and large supplies of
rough feeds was apparently the urge
Eeehind the activity of ﬁnishers for

ed lot material.

Wools Stronger

Domestic wools, quarter bloods,
trengthened slightly in eastern
markets, but quotations on some of
the ﬁner qualities of the longer
.staple grades of territory wools were
slightly lower in early September.

i' Demand Improves for. Butter

1 Buying is more nearly absorbing
current arrivals of butter, which are
still on the decrease as the season
goes forward. Production conditions
are now thought to be fairly favor-
able.
producing sections has been favor—
able to pastures.

Firm conditions prevailed on the
cheese markets during the ﬁrst days
of September. At Wisconsin country
markets, trade was reported as fair,
although it was quite spotted. The
net result to date indicates that 1928
production is only slightly in excess
of 1927.

‘ Eggs Firm

The egg markets continue to be
featured by light receipts and fairly
‘ﬁrm cOnditions. The movement out

MARKET REPORTS BY RADIO DAILY .
THE Michigan Business Farmer was first to broadcast farm market

reports in Michigan (January 4, 1926).

Market rcpopts and farm

news are now available as follows: WGHP (277.6 meters), 6:05
to 7:00 P. LL; WKAR (277.6), 12:00 M.; WWJ (352.7), 5:45 P. M.:

mark of $2.75 per loo—pound sack,
and the city range on this stock was
$2.50 to $3.50. The city jobbing
price for midwestern yellows was
.ﬁrm at $2.75 to $3.65 per sack.
Fruits °

Central and eastern peaches sold
in terminal markets mostly at a
range of $1 to $2.50 per crate or
bushel basket. Bushel baskets of
pears from Michigan ruled $2 to
$2.25 in Chicago. ‘ '

Eastern fall apples were jobblng
at 60 cents to $1.50 per bushel the
ﬁrst week of September, but Arkan-
sas Jonathans brought $2 to $2.35 in
the Middle West. Kansas City re-
ported Missouri stock at $1.50 to
$1.75. Shippers in southwestern
Michigan got mostly 90 cents per
bushel of best Oldenburgs.

Beans V

Field beans are expected to ﬁnd
a good market demand, because the
old crop holdings are nearly gone and
the new crop promises lighter pro—

~duction except in the Rocky Moun-

tain region and possibly Michigan,
which had a poor crop last season.
The market hesitates. A great deal
could happen in a season of such
heavy rainfall in eastern producing
sections.

Reports from about Michigan in—
dicate only about half a normal crop

white, 4% lbs and up, 25c; colored

and smaller, 22@23c. Geese, 16c.
