Funeral Rites For
Edwin H. Feldkamp
Held Tuesday Afternoon; Was Lifelong Resident of Washtenaw Comity.
' Summer Conference Of
Vocational Agriculture
i-- Three Weeks of Lectures and Study
Attended by Oar Teacher,
Charles A. Jewell. '
Edwin Henry Feldkamp,  aged 73
j Tne Michigan teachers of voca-
i tional agriculture have just closed a
{most successful summer conference
___uw-_. xrairy x-ig-ni,,  ageu ,o  &t Michigan state college, East Lan-
years, passed away Sunday morning  sjB~_ .
For
m Ann Arbor at the home of his
son, Wilbur; 'with whom he had been
living the past few months. He had
been ill for about six months.
. Mr. Feldkamp was the son of John
and Mary Meyer Feldkamp and was
born at Rogers Corners on March 23,
1864. On-March 19, 1885, he was
united in marriage with Caroline
Koeder at Bridgewater and she preceded him in death April 26, 1928.
Mr. Feldkamp was a member of St
Paul's   Evangelical   church.
He is survived by two sons, Wil-,
bur and Elmer, of Ann Arbor; two
sisters, Mrs. Emma Buss and Miss
Amanda Feldkamp, both of Freedom
township; " three brothers, Theodore
of Saline, Dan of Manchester and
Fred of Freedom township, and several nieces and nephews.-
Funeral services were held at 1:30
Tuesday afternoon at the Dietiker
funeral home and at 2 o'clock at St.
Paul's church, Rev. C. H. Wittbracht
officiating. Burial was in Oakwood
cemetery.
Among the out of town relatives
who were here for the funeral were
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Sturm, Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Nissly of Ypsilanti,
Mr and Mrs. Harold .Zahn of -Ann
Arbor, Mrs. Peotzinger,, Mrs. Mary
Gross and Alfred Gross of Lansing,
Theodore and Miss Amanda -Reyer
of Ann Arbor, Mr. and Mrs. E.
Summer and son, Charles, MT. and
Mrs Harold Geyer, Myrtle and Morris Gibson, Mrs Albert LtttSff-Mrs.
John Huff, Mr. and Mrs. John Miller,
all of Ann Arbor.
When Mr. Feldkamp was" in his
prime and living on his farm on the
Macon road he specialized in feeding
cattle and lambs, being an exceptionally shrewd buyer, a capable
feeder and a shrewd seller, and in
this work was ably assisted by his
sons. About twice a year an item
would appear in The Observer telling the number of fat cattle Mr.
Feldkamp had marketed, giving the
gross weight and occasionally what
they brought as they topped the
market at either Detroit or Buffalo.
Upon retiring he built a handsome
18 years this excellent program .has quietly functioned under
the very able leadership of E. E-
Gallup, the state director,: and this
year a conference for shop teachers
was added and: proved to be of very
positive value. *»
We are all aware of the fact that
modern science has made .enormous
forward strides in the field of medicine and sanitation, in- engineering,
i$ electricity, etc., but not all are
aware of the fact that almost equal
s&dvances have been made in agriculture, horticulture, dairying, etc. This
iis. true, however and the capable
*_griculture teacher must constantly
keep in touch with the whole field
pf scientific agriculture or he will
quickly find himself a back number
in his own field. That is what these
summer conferences are for, and
they serve the purpose admirably.
Probably no group is keeping up-to-
the-minute any better than the
Smith-Hughes men in Michigan.
There were inspiring addresses by
President Shaw of M. S. C, Dr. A.
K. Getman of New York, E. E. Gallup of Lansing, R. W. Gregory of
Washington, D, C, J. A. Pierson, U.
S._ Bureau of Education, and Dr.
Elliott, state superintendent of pub-
lie instruction.
Then there were "panel discussions" of intense interest on such
topics as "Supervised Practices" and
"Visual Aids," but perhaps the best
-features of all were the "skills," conducted by the various college departments. These were in the nature of
advanced short courses, aiming to
present the "last word" in the particular agricultural skill assigned to
that group. There were skill groups
in soils,*horticulture, fertilizers, poultry, dairying, hog raising, landscaping and many other such topics.
At these group meetings the latest
advances made by science were explained and mastered. And in this
way the agriculture men return to
their duties fully equipped and up-
to-date for another year's work.
It is something of a vacation, perhaps, for the 262 Smith-Hughes men,
i but it is also an inspiration to hear
the  agricultural  leaders who  come
Serious Accident
On 112 Saturday
Driver  Making   70 Miles Per Hoar
Tore Down 14 Guard Posts
at Overhead Bridge.
A serious accident occurred east
of town at the grade crossing over
the Ann Arbor railroad on US-112
Saturday. The Misses Irene and
Marion Lehti of Detroit accompanied
by James Smith of the same place
had started for the upper peninsula
to visit their former home. and
were going by way of Chicago!
Smith was driving and did not heed
the, sign which warns motorists to
drive at 35 miles per hour in making
the curve as they approach the
bridge. He is said to have been
going 70 miles per hour. The car
tore down 14 of the posts supporting
the steel guard cable fence and
then careened down the 40 foot
embankment rolling over and over
as it went. Ihe car was completely
demolished. Both sisters were cut
and bruised, one has a fractured
leg. They were taken to Beyer
Hospital in Ypsilanti.
Howard Brandt of Brooklyn was
injured last Friday when the car
in which he was riding ran off the
highway into a deep ditch about a
mile and a half west of town on
US-112. The car was driven by
Elliott Healey of Pontiac. It is said
he fell asleep at the wheel. Brandt
was taken to the hospital.

Another thing which puts Miss

As the farm horse goes into strenuous summer work, extreme caution
must be exercised' on the part of
the caretaker and driver to reduce
summer losses or prevent permanent
injury to the horse, says H. F. Moxley, extension animal husbandryman
of Michigan State College.
The proper care of the horse's
feet to prevent lameness is always
of paramount importance, as a lame
horse is not a serviceable horse. Feet
should be trimmed regularly,_, and excessive growth should be removed to
prevent breaking high, thus causing
the horse to become tender and to
prevent both toe and quarter cracks.
Horses that are on the road in many
cases wear the wall faster than it
grows and lameness is the result if
I horses are not shod. Inasmuch as
i shoeing for farm work during the
summer is a protection to the foot,
only plates are recommended, says
Moxley.
During the extreme heat of summer, there is much danger of over-'
heating, particularly if the horse is
not well-conditioned and hardened to
work. It is a danger sign when a
horse stops sweating on a hot day
when hard at work, warns Moxley.
It is doubly dangerous if the horse
pants. In cases-of overheating, the
team should be taken to the shade,
i returned to a cool barn and a veter-
! inarian consulted. As a precaution
against heat prostration, horses at
work should be watered frequently
(at intervals of one hour if possible)
and given a liberal allowance of salt.
It is recommended that a horse get
at least % of an ounce of salt daily
and if used to salt, it be allowed
free choice.
During the hot summer months
the shoulders should be aired at intervals to prevent scalding, and particular stress always exercised to
keep the shoulders and collars clean
and collars well fitted.
Reguar feeding and watering are
essential factors that should be practiced. Seldom is it necessary to feed
more than one pound of grain, such
as oats, per 100 pounds of live
weight per day unless the horse is
at heavy work. Alf alf a hay, a most
common and approved horse feed,
can be fed up to one and one-fourth
pounds per 100 pounds live weight
per day with good results.. Good
pasture is always recommended.
Many mares working regularly in
the team are also raising a foal, and
as a result their ration should be increased, Moxley says. Colts should
never be allowed to follow the mare
while at work. They should be kept
in the barn and always given a liberal allowance of grain. Feeding
them free choice oats is recommended. The amount they will consume
varies with the size of the colt and
how well the mare milks. It is always a good practice to let the mare
cool off before allowing the foal to
nurse.
