MILK SITUATION
-
SADACCIDLNT
Isabella Fsrmer Very  Seriously
Burned.
Discussed By Secretary Reed Of
Producers Association.
On Friday afternoon the program
taken np somewhat out of order
aa R C. Keid, Secretary of the Milk
Producer's Association, must leaveon
aa early train. Mr. Reed was dowp
lor a talk on "The Milk Situation in
Mloblgar," and evidently be has
••sea investigating the matter considerably. All any man may say con
oerning tbe lack of knowledge on tbe
part ot some farmers as to whether
tbey are making anything from tbeir.
oowt Is very likely more or less true.
Mr. Reed called attention at the
outset to the importance of milk production tn Its relation to the home
aad the family. People in town or
country are the greatest nation of
soil robbers on the earth. Thousands of farms have been depleted,
robbed of their fertility. We are the
greateet nation of food exporters on
earth, yet today we are facing a food
famine. Petitions are going to Pres.
Wilson to put an embargo on food
stuffs. For tbe first time we bave imported a cargo of one million bushels
of corn. **
Tbe dairy business is well nigb indispensable to tbe maintenance of
soil fertility. Farmers have cot been
business men. In one town, 1200
dairy cows have been sold in the past
10 months. No one should think of
milk as "raw material." The cow
is only a machine for converting feed
into milk, tbe most delicate machine
in the world of manufactures. Generally speaking there are two elasees
of milk producerss: One wbo produces milk at a loss and knows it,
the other producing at a loss and
does cot know it. State authorities
bave been investigating the cost of
producing milk and bave used the
production in 25 herds in this investigation. It shows it cost SI 83 per
hundred to produce milk during
March, 1916, yet it eold for SI.52.
In April it cost S1.S5 and sold fur
$1.44. The chief difficul.y in accomplishing any reform among farmers is
to get them to stand together. Tbey
are suspicious, even oi their neighbors
L. M. Converse entertained the institute witb a solo and responded to
an encore and then R. D. Bailey took
up the discussion of "Legumes as Soil
Builders," endeavoring to cover in a
brief talk facts tbat should have a
half day for their due   consideration.
He had a number of charts, showing tbe immence amount of water
demanded by the more common farm
crops, the rapidity of evaporation   of
As tbe consequence ot trying to
thaw out a pump by tbe use ot gasoline, Ernest Hinehaugb, aged about
! 30, a farmer in Sherman township, is
fighting death from the bums he sustained when tbe gasoline can exploded. He had wrapped some rags
around tbe pump, saturated tbem
with gasoline and touched a match
to them. When tbe flames ran low
he started to pour on some more gasoline and tbe can exploded. Faint
hopes are heid out  for  bis recovery.

Professor J. F. Cox, of tbe farm

over the future of soy beans.
"Soy beans will be the poor man's
salvation," said Professor Cox. "They4 fact

Teste of tbe beans indicate that tbey
contain 30 percent protein, making tbe
cost of tbe protein 15 cents a pound.
This same amount of protein in a

present price of meat.
"Soy beans are not favorable to the
taste unless properly cooked or prepared. Our teats abow that if toey
are soaked in softened wrter for 18

just as palatable as the ordinary type.'
Professor Mary Edmonds, of home
