FARMERS QUESTION
VALUE OF OAT CROP.

AS result of the unusually light
Michigan oat crop this year, the lowest
since 1907, according to U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates, many
farmers of the State are questioning the
value of oats as crop. The yield this
year in Michigan is reported as 24.3
bushels per acre. During only two
other years OF the last fifty has the crop
been reported this low in the State, and
the average is far above this years yield.
"Many farmers who are keeping cost
of proquction figures will undoubtedly
figure this years crop as loss, says
c. II. Graves, farm management special
ist at the Michigan Agricultural College.
at is mistake, however, for them to
condemn oats as a crop for this reason.
In making cost of production studies
the farmer must either consider his en-
tire rotation for single year, or else
consider any single crop in the light OF
yields for several years.
"Oats, when averaged over any ten
year period of the last fifty years, are
4und to be a profitable crop in Mich.
ipan, and no farmer should condemn
them on the strength Of this years
showing. Farming, unlike other in
dustries, cannot be figured on the basis
Of a single season. The presence of an
uncomfortable factor, the weather, de-
mands period that will show averages.

H. s. AGRPL DEPTS.
MAKE TRIP AROUND
PINE LAKE.

In spite Of the rather threatening
weather conditions the entire Argi-
cultural Departments of Boyne City and
East Jordan made trip around Pine
Lake Friday. The start was delayed
somewhat owing to shortage of ma
chimes, but this condition was soon
remedied and the start was made.
At East Jordan the Agricultural De-
partment there fell in the procession,
and the first stop was made at the
Evelyn Orchards" Prof l.. H. Taft's
farm near Ironton.
When the manager of the orchards
started explaining the method of pack
ing apples for shipment, and opened
some baskets to show how bruising of
fruit was prevented there were some
sixty or seventy students gathered in
the packing house, and it was necessary
for him to stand on barrel ofapples so
that they could see the shape of the pack.
To show that the quality was as good as
the appearance, the manager opened a
bushel of Famous (Snow Apples), and
treated the entire assembly. From the
packing house the students went to the
orchards and observed some seeding
trees, and an orchard under a sod cul-
tivation as contrasted with one under
clean cultivation. Methods of prevent
ing trees from breaking down under
overlooking by wiring the crotches was
also explained, as well as various types
of cover cropping.
The next stop was made at the Loeb
Farms, where the manager gave the
students permission to 60 where they
wished. A great deal of interest was
shown by all the students in the mag
hificent Belgian horses, and much time
was spent looking over the herds of
pure bred Holsteins. .
The next stop was made at the Coul-
ter Farm near Charlevoix where some
pure bred Jerseys were observed. AT
this place the girls were entertained by
Mrs. Cutter with butter-making on a
modern farm. The girls evinced a
great deal of interest in the electrically
operated churn, cream separator, and
other dairy equipment. The interest
shown speaks well for the chances OF
our Agricultural boys of the future.
This farm is also the home of the Char.
levoix dent corn that has attracted SO
much attention among the farmers OF
the county.
Owing to continued rainy weather nc
Attempts were made at further stops, and
the return trip to Boyne City was made
without mishap, save for little minor
tire trouble, the people arriving there
about four o'clock.
In spite of the adverse weather con
ditions, the trip was very successful
il being the first event of this nature
that has been arranged in this county
or In any county in the state, as far a.

latter are often called snake gourds.
Some enterprising seedsmen with a
large supply of gourd seed of this latter
type on hand conceived the idea OF dis
posing of it at handsome profit. A
ccordingly the papers were flooded last
spring, as well as in 1918, with advertise
ments of Giant Butter Bean, "New
Guinea Butter Bean, etc. This is a
fraud, since these are not beans at all,
but gourds, closely related to pumpkin,
squash, etc.
"When full grown the large fruits
are practically valueless in this country.
When young, they are edible and taste
much like summer squash. 1t is ques-
tionable, however, whether It pays one
to grow these things except as cur
iosities."
