Michigan Sugar Rect Growers T.te
AcftOn.

Farmers are beginning To learn
their power. Long they have known
e weakness when acting as indi-
viduals. Their might when combined
they are just beginning to feel.
Here is a sample from Michigan.
The beet sugar factories las. YEA
made enormous profits. and this
spring the beet growers felt that
they should have a share in those
profts. But the mills refused n
pay them n more than formerly
for their beets. with the result, hat
only about half AS many beets as
last year are being grown in Micbi-
gan this year. This will be q loss
to the farmers in two ways-loss NJ
direct revenue from beets and loss
OF money in the higher price thew
will be compelled to pay for sugar.
In old times that would have heen
the end Of it. But now !, ;s on
nounced by the Farm Bureau reder-
alton OF Michigan that ratixa
beet sugar factories will be ss..h-
lished in Michigan in time 70 ..la

1t takes some millions of dollars
to establish a good beet sugar fac
tory. That would stop the ordinary

The Holyoke Produce Association
held a meeting in the town hall, Ho-

The meeting was called to order
by the president. D. Magnus. The
members then sang the following,
contributed by local talent. and ac-
companied by one Of the members
on the piano:
Now let us make a dash,
Potatoes for spot cash
For and all.
Your word OF honor give
and keep II while you live.
Or drop clean through the sieve,
Like spuds too small"
Articles OF Incorporation were
adopted, and it was voted to incor-
porate for $4,000 divided into 200
shares OF S25 each. Indebtedness was
limited to $4,000. Bylaws we're
also adopted and it was voted to
affiliate with the Minnesota Potato
Exchange. Agreement was signed
and the $500 guarantee note and
500 e deposited with applica-
ton for a share Of stock in the Ex-
change. The meeting lasted about
4 hours. and 1t was business from
beginning to end.
1t is a pleasure to meet with peo-
pie like those at Holyoke. They GER
tainly are ~cultivating community

CULTIVATION OF POTATOES

1t may seem to many potato grow
ers that nothing more need be said
about c~ultivating potatoes. There
are. however. certain practices which
are followed by some successful
growers which have not vet been
adopted by the majority Of potato
producers.
In the first place. rowing the po-
:atOes one way, or planting them in
drills will often produce a much
larger yield per acre at a correspond
ing lower cost per bushel or hundred
weight than planting In check rows.
Many growers think 1t necessary to
cultivate both ways. 1t Is an ad-
vantage to do so where quack grass.
Canada thistles, and similar PERM
cious weeds are to be fought. but
under average conditions a potato
field can be kept clean when the po-
tatoes are planted In drills just as
easily and cheaply as when check
rowed.
The secret OF keeping the weeds
under control by the use OF horse
tools Is to kill most OF them before
the potatoes come up. To do this
the ground should be plowed early
and narrowed at intervals until
planting time. A few days after the
potatoes are planted the field should
be narrowed again. II the potatoes
are planted sufficiently deep a
spring-tooth harrow a be used.
otherwise a spike-tooth harrow with
the teeth set to slant backward will
be better. Three or four harrowings
should be given after the potatoes
are planted and before they are too
large to harrow. When a horse
planter is used. the first narrowing
should be the same way the rows
run and the next In the opposite di-
rection. The knocking of OF the
ridge with the harrow will destroy
practically all weeds which start in
the potato rows.
Some growers use a weeder after
the potatoes are too large to har-
'ow. One grower has arranged a
Seeder to follow the c%ultivator. and
hus all the surface OF the ground
wen close to the plants is given a
stirring Mt each cultivation. The
chief difficulty in keeping weeds and
grass under control by this method
Of cultivation Is that II will not be
very effective during a rainy season.
II the land Is well drained. however.
there will be very few seasons when
this method of cultivating will not
prove satisfactory.
When the c%ultivator is started af-
ter the last narrowing the teeth
should be run deep and close to the
plants. II Is often an advantage to
throw a little dirt at the first cul-
tivation around the plants 70 cover
any small weeds or grass which
may have escaped the harrow teeth.
Each cultivation after the first should
be slightly more shallow than the
last, until at the last cultivation only
the surface " the soil should be
stirred. Level cultivation will give
best results in sections where drouth
Is of frequent occurrence. Where
ridging is practiced successfully
rainfall is abundant. Poorly drained
land may produce better results
when ridging is practiced than with

Old Spuds in Grand Ranids.

Old potatoes still are in demand
but dealers are buying from day to
day supplies. The quality of stocks
is good owing to the late. cold
spring. Old potatoes are quoted at
$3.50 per cwt.. a decline since last
week. Retailers are gradually shift

New potatoes coming in have low
cred the price of old potatoes which
have dropped from $s.O0-$a.O0 last
week to $7.O0-$7.50 this week. A
few potatoes from Canada came in
but they were Of poor quality and
poorly graded. They sold at $500
$500. There is little old stuff left
and little demand for it.
The market on new stock has been
fair with cooler weather. The sup
plies are coming in a little better
than last week which has lowered
the prices somewhat. Texas stock
is bringing $500 per cwt., California
$3.50 per IS pound lug and Virginia
Cobblers $500 per barrel.

In times OF rising prices, such as
the present. the rest Of the three
dollars is readily acquired by the
simple process OF marking up the
prices OF stocks on hand; IN other
words, keeping up with the current
market prices regardless OF the per-
centage OF profit. This last. however.
Is a speculative profit and must not
be charged in with the marketing
costs. Later in the season, or per-
haps on another commodity. losses
instead Of profits may accrue through
downward market fluctuations. For
instance. apple dealers and specula-
tors Of the Northwest lost heavily
this past season because OF the fail
ure Of the market to advance as
they had anticipated.
The data here given are de-
veloped from Senate investigations
on the cost Of living in the District
OF Columbia, from investigations
throughout the country conducted by
the Federal Trade Commission and
the Bureau Of Markets Of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture. also from price
surveys of the Department OF Labor,
and from statements obtained from
representative dealers and shippers.
The much-talked-of road between
producer and consumer is not a road
at all. 1t is nothing more than an
elaborated COW path that wanders
more or less aimlessly among a
maze Of natural and artificial OBJ
structions, inherited from the days
when roads were not designed to ia
cilitate travel but merely led past
certain strategic points.
From what has been said II is an
parent that the producer is justified
in demanding a most careful scru-
tiny OF the costs involved in getting
his goods to market. He cannot be
blamed, in fact. for wanting to raise
a row now and then because Of these
seemingly exorhitant marketing
costs. 1t is only natural that he
should feel that he could do a better
job OF it himself. And very likely
he could. with the proper system.
There is n whole string OF small
and some large economies that could
be effected all along the road from
the producer to the but
at best this would be when repaired
merely a patched-up. narrow
trail. What we need is a new road.
huiit with a solid foundation and
adapted to a different system Of
travel. An automobile road rather
than an ox-cart road. IL you please.
Many OF the leading thinkers feel
that the foundation OF this new road
will be cooperative-selling associa-
tons on the farm and cooperative
buying associations in the city.
