GET AFTER The WEEDS
Now is the Time-They Absorb
Moisture That the Beet
Needs.
TWO GLASSES OF FINANCIERs
To Which Do You BeIong-Some Fine
Pieces of Beets in Emerson
Township.

This is elegant growing weather, and if
your bects are free from weeds, they GER
tainly must be making you some money
now. We find many pieces that are quite
weedy and as haying is over now, we
think that you should get right after those
weeds and get them out of your beets
This is just the time to destroy weeds, not
only this year, but for next year too, by
dot letting any weeds go to seed in your
crops Some think if there are only few
weeds in a crop, it does not hurt ii much,
which may possibly b. the case, but it
takes only a few weeds let 90 to seed in a
crop this year to seed the land thoroughly
with weeds for another year, and each
one of those few weeds are using up
moisture that your beets, corn or beans
ought to have this dry weather. One
dollar now spent in pulling and hoeing
weeds out of your crops may be the
means of saving you $40 next year by
there being no weed seed in your land to
grow and make weeds to overwhelm the
crop another year in a wet time when you
might have to neglect cultivating some.
We are composed of two classes, viz.
good iinanciers and poor financiers. The
good inancier spends a dollar at the
proper time, so the results of il yield him
S. or $40 in the future. The poor fnancier
clings TO the dollar and thinks he is saving
and economizing until the dollar is taken
away from him by interest taxes or for
living, and il gives him no extra returns
for expenses or future investment. Now
TO which class do you belong Look at
yourself and see, and if You are in the
wrong class, change your tactics and pro-
gress instead of retrograde. Don't be
afraid to spend money carefully killing
weeds this year when you know it will do
your crop good and leave your land in
much better condition for another season,
and free from weed seed to bother and
make expense for you another year
We do not know of a poor piece of beets
this year where the farmer made calcu-
lations last season by taking good care of
the ground where he intended to put
beets this last spring.
There are some fine beets i'll Emerson
Township. Arthur Smith on Section 10
has 1917 acres of excellent beets. All
Mann has so acres that look fine, for All
knows just how to make beets grow.
Sherman and Sheridan Somervlle have
IS and IS acres respectively which have
been cared for we'll and are looking fine.
Mort Shook has five acres on Section
that can't be beat. {. l.. Davis, Walter
Wilton, J. A. King, Melt Waddell, Henry
Huber, all have crops of beets, and last
but not least, r. 5. Barnes upon his fine
farm, four miles east of Ithaca, has 461z
acres that are free from weeds and look
ing fine excepting one piece which was
hurt some by cut worms.

MILK AND CREAM TESTING.
Reasons for Variations of Tests Given by
Central Michigan Produce Company.

Reasons for Variations of Tests Given by
Central Michigan Produce Company.
Realizing that the subject of milk and
cream testing is the cause of more mis-
understandings and disagreements be-
tween the patrons and the creamery
managers than any other one thing, and
with a view to giving some useful inior-
nation along this line, we quote you
below some extracts from Chicago Dairy
Produce on this subject. We hope this
will have the effect of healing old sores
that may have been made in the past as a
result of lack of knowledge that there
may oe many reasons for variation Of
the test, even when the patrons think the
conditions are exactly alike at all times.
Following are the experiments;
Variation OF fat in cream due to varia-
tion i'll speed of separators and amount Of
milk flowing into the bowl.-Machine

grees, cream test 81 per cent; machine No.
2, milk at I3o degrees, cream test 80 per
cent.
The above figures are not extreme
cases, but a tair representation of the
results obtained from a large number of
trials. They show that one should con-
slider carefully his method of operating
the machine before accusing the factory
of unfair testing.
