'Lansing—While the conditions of allsmall grains Is ^rom two to five percent below normal for .tho, UnitedStates, the lowest cohdltlcn of any ofthem In Michigan^* only one per centbelow tho 10-year average.This fact,together with the prospect tor a goodcrop of fruit of all kinds. Is the .encouragementoffered by the June cropreport Issued by tho Michigan Co-opera'ivecrop reporting .service. Decreasedpopulation. In the rural diatrlctsIs the chief causo-for tho acreageof spring crops being Uelgw BQ/mal. the report says.mm.This Is the Best Way to Haul Hay If the Distance Is Not Too Great.The hay crop, even when the laborsupply is normal, causes more worry,anxiety, and disappointment than anyother crop.The time for harvestingIs comparatively short. Other cropsrequire attention at the same time.And tho weather Is to be reckonedwith.This year, when form labor allover the country Is very scarce, thedifficulties of haymaking will be muchgreater, and larger quantities of haywill be lost than usual—unless laborsavingmethods are more generallyemployed.A great deal of labor Is wasted everyyear during hay harvest, say specialistsof theUnited States departmentof agriculture, not becauseofactual Idleness on the part of theworkers, but because labor Is expendedunnecessarily on operations that donot utilize It to the best advantage.If an old method can be superseded bya new one that will enable the samenumber of men to accomplish morework In the same length of time, orfewer men to accomplish the samework In the same length of time. Itwill mean more hay saved, more profitto the farmer and a better conditionfor the country.Shift Burden From Man to Horse.Although there Is a scarcity of manlabor, there are still plenty of horseson most farms, and herein largely liesthe solution of the problem.On farmswhere considerable hay Is grown methodsmust be adopted by which thegreater part of the heavy labor Is doneby horses.This will necessitate thegeneral use of certain types of laborsavingmachinery, some of them notso common In the East, which havebeen thoroughly tested and proved satisfactoryIn the western part of theUnited States.The small hay grower,however, need not make a very heavyInvestment In new haying apparatus,for by rearranging the working of hiscrew and using a little more hprselabor for the hard work he can addconsiderably to the efficiency of biscrew. 'Here are some suggestions made bythe specialists for avoiding waste oflabor In haymaking:Do not run two or more mowersclose together. If the front mowerhis any trouble that causes'lt to stop,all of the mowers usually wait whilerepairs are made on one.There Is atendency, also, for drivers, to wastetoo much time talking when they stopoccasionally to let the teams rest.Agood practice when two or more machinesare used Is for each driver tolay off a "land" for himself and workIndependently, so there will be no Interferencefrom other machines.Side Delivery Rake It Best.Do not turn hay by band.It Is toocostly. The cheapest and most efficientway of stirring buy In the windrowIs with a two-horse tedder.Oneman will do more work than 12 menstirring with hand forks. It Is noteven necessary to have a man to runthe tedder. A boy big enough to drivea team will do Just as much work. *A one-horse rake operated by aman makes raking very costly. Atwo-horse sulky rake Is better, but theside-delivery rpke Is best.When curingis done In -tfie swath and a'hoyloader Is used, the crew- can starttaking the hay fjom the windrow assoon as the side delivery has made onedouble windrow across the field.* Ifthe sulky rake Is used, thq crew,willhave to 'wait until the rake has goneseveral times across the field. Jn this,matter the extent o{ the haying operationslw\s to be considered, of course.On very" 1 small farms thei use of theside-delivery rake mjght not beeconomy.If the weather Is clear and the hayIs In proper conVlltlon, there will be nonecessity for hay-raps or for Turtherlabor till the hay Is thoroughly curedand ready to be hauled.But hfiy-capswill pay for themselves in one yearwhen the weather Is bad. . They aremore especially needed with clover,alfalfa and pea vines, all of whichcure slowly.If hay Is to he hunched, the handmethod Is too expensive.A two-horsesulky rake can bunch 30 acres or morea day and a boy can drive It Just aswell as n man.Even more labor canbe saved, "however, by using the pushrake to bunch hay after It has beenraked Into the windrow.It Is a goodplan to have two men working togetherto round up the bunches, sincemore Clip be accomplished than wheneach works alone.It Is a waste of time to pitch hayonto a small hayrack on a highwheeledwagon.Use a large hayrackon a low-wheeled wagon.Loading hay with pitchforks Is thehardest, slowest andmost expensiveway.The men are working constantly,but the horses are doing nothingmost of the time.If a loader Is used,the hardest part of the work Is doneLime Needed for Clover.Fertile"Soils do not require as muchlime ua..KuUH low In fertility andaclever crop does not demand lime asstrongly as alfalfa, but lime is absolutelynecessary to grow clover successfully.Sour Garden Soils.Garden crops, as a whole, are Injuredby soils which are sour, or short intheir lime supply, this l« especiallytrue of beans and peas, of lettuce,spinacb and celery.by the horses and the men can handleabout 30 per cent more hay.Save, Labor on the Stack.TJie push rake furnishes the mosteconomical method of hauling hay tothe stack, barn, or bay press If thedistance Is not much more than onefourthof a mile.One man, or a boywith a good push rake and a teamused to the work will handle threetimes as much hay as two men with asmall rack on a high-wheeled wagonStacking hay with a push rake andan overshot stacker mounted onwheels eliminates nearly all of theback-breaking work of the old pitchforkmethod.With a yield of one toone and a half tons to the acre, twomen on the stpek can easily handle allthe hay brought In by three pushrakes, accomplishing a vast saving Inlabor and hay over the pitchforkmethod.Another method not so goodbut still vastly better than the pitchforkmetl^dIs a stacker equipmentwith a doWle harpoon fork.The outfitcan be made atihome and will costvery little compared with the labor Itsaves, but harder workIs necessaryto get the hay on the stack than withthe overshot stacker.When hay Is to be baled from thefield, one man by working In the afternoon,can round up enough hay whichhas been bunched by pushrakes tokeep the press going next morning untilthe dew Is gone from the hay In thewindrow.When the hay Is not thusrounded up the crew will lose twohours or' more on mornings wherthere Is a heavy dew.Carelessness In setting the pressmay result In loss of labor.When thepress Is properly set two men can getplenty of hay to It from the stack.COMMERCIAL ACREAGEOF VEGETABLE CROPSCompared With Last Year MarkedReduction Is Shown.Estimates Based on Reports ReceivedFrpb %eed Gftower»—Increase IsIndicated for Sugar Beet andGarden Peas.(Prepared by the United States Departmentof Agriculture.)The prospective commercial acreageof vegetable-seed crops for 1920. comparedwith last year, shows markedreductions In the acreage reported fordwarf snap beans, all beet, carrot, lettuce.onion seed, radish, spinach, sweetcorn, and tomato seed, while a slightlyIncreased acreage Is reported for gardenpole beans, ^qcumber, muskmelon,watermelon, parsley, pepper, pumpkin,and Swede turnip seed.These estimates are based on reportsreceived by the bureau of martels,early In April from commercialvegetable-seed growers and are as actcurate and complete as It was possibleto obtain ut that time.The es,tlipatedprospective productionfor 1020 .(computed on the basisof the acreage reported and the averageyield per acre for the four-yearperiod 1910-1010), compared with thatfor 1010, Is about 35 per cent less forsweet corn*and English turnip;

With several milUontmore ablebodied men engaged in induetry than waa the case whenwo. reached the peak of output under the pressure of war, therebar been a slump in production all along the line, coincident witha shortening of hours and an increaae in wages that has causedthe price of eommodities to mount to terrifying altitudes.Many and varied are the •uggeations advanced as a cure for thiacondition, but it must be patent to anyone who has given the subjectany thought that one of the short cuts to the desired end isto give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, instead ofraising wages and with them the cost of every commodity.The desirability of this course is beyond question.

This year, when farm labor allover the country Is very scarce, thedifficulties of haymaking will he muchgreater, and larger quantities of haywill he lost than usual—unless laborsavingmethods are more generallyemployed.A greatr deal of labor Is wasted everyyear during hay harvest, say specialistsof the United States departmentof agriculture, not because ofactual Idleness on the part of theworkers, but because labor Is expendedunnec^sarlly on operations that donot utilize It to the best advantage.If an old method can be superseded bya new one that will enable the samenumber of men to accomplish morework In the same length of time, orfewer men to accomplish the samework in the same length of time. Itwill mean more hay saved, more profitto the farmer and a better conditionfor the country.Shift Burden From Man to Horse.Although there Is a scarcity of manlabor, there are still plenty of horseson most farms, and herein largely liesthe solution of the problem. On fnmiswhere considerable hay Is grown methodsmust be adopted by which thegreater part of the heavy labor Is doneby horses. This will necessitate thegeneral use of certain types of Inborsavingmachinery, some of them notso common In the East, which havebeen thoroughly tested and proved satisfactoryIn the western part of theUnited States. The small hay grower,however, need not make a very heavyInvestment In new haying apparatus,for by rearranging the working of hiscrew and using a little more hprselabor for the hard work he can addconsiderably to the efficiency of biscrew. •Here are some suggestions made bythe speclnllsts for avoiding waste oflabor In haymaking:Do not run two or more mowersclose together. If the front mowerbis any trouble that causes'lt to stop,all of the mowers usually wait whilerepairs are made on one. There Is atendency, also, for drivers, to wastetoo much time talking when they stopoccasionally to let the teams rest. Agood practice when two or more machinesare used Is for each driver tolay off a "land" for himself and workIndependently, so there will be no Interferencefrom other machines.Side Delivery Rake It Best.Do not turn hny by hand. It Is toocostly. The cheapest and most efficientway of stirring hny In the windrowIs with a two-horse tedder. Oneman will do more work than 12 menstirring with hand forks. It Is noteven necessary to have a man to runthe tedder. A boy big enough to drivea team will do just as much work. "A one-horse rake operated by aman mnkes raking very costly. Atwo-horse sulky rake Is better, but theside-del jvery rpke Is best.

But hny-cnpswill pay for themselves In one yearwhen the weather Is bad. They aremore especially needed with clover,alfalfa and pea vines, all of whichcure slowly.If hny Is to he hunched, the handmethod Is too expensive. A two-horsesulky rake can bunch 30 acres or morea day and a boy can drive It just aswell as a mnn. Even more Inbor ennbe saved, however, by using the pushrake to bunch hay after It has beenraked Into the windrow. It Is a goodplan to have two men working togetherto round up the bunches, sincemore 9an be accomplished than wheneach works nlone.It Is a waste of time to pitch hayonto a small hnyrack on a highwheeledwagon. Use a large hayrackon a low-wheeled wagon.Loading hay with pitchforks Is thehardest, slowest and most expensiveway. The men are working constantly.but the horses are doing nothingmost of the time.

Inspired by thegenius of a young actress whomho had seen in London, he haswritten a play, "Lady Larkspur,"solely with tho thought that sheshould Interpret the leading character.This girl, Violet Dewing,has disappeared. Singleton, anaviator, has Just returned (Invalided)from France. His uncle.Raymond Bashford. a wealthy man.had contracted a marriage a shorttime before his death, while on avisit to Japan. He left Singletona comparatively small amount ofmoney and the privilege of resldencoIn the "garage" of his summerhome, Barton-on-the-Sound.Connecticut. Mrs. Bashford Is believedto be traveling In the OrientThe household at Barton is'madeupof broken down employees ofa New York hotel, where Bashfordmade his home. Singleton goes toBarton, taking with him tho manuscriptof "Lady Larkspur." Therehe finds the household strangelyupset, some of Its members beingsuspected by their comrades of pro-Oermanlsm. Antolne, head of theestablishment. Informs him that hehas been perplexed by the somewhatmysterious visits of astranger, apparently a foreigner,seeking Mrs. Bashford. Antolnehas formed the male members ofthe household Into a guard for protection.Torrence, Bashford's law-i:yer, Informs Singleton that Mrs.Bashford Is In America and maybe expected at Barton at any time.Singleton reads Seorles' play andthinks highly of It.CHAPTER II.—1—The Amazing Widow.As soon as Torrence left I returnedto the garagq, feeling that with Mrs.Bashford on American soil my use ofthe residence even as a loafing-placewas unbecoming. Mrs Bashford wasnot only In America, but with a motorat her command she might reachBarton at any hour. And the vigorous,dominating woman who had capturedmy uncle Bash, buried him Ina far country, and then effected a hop,skip, and Jump from Bangkok toSeattle, was likely to be a prodigalspender of gasoline. Her propensityfor traveling encouraged the hopethat she would quickly weary of Bartonand pine for lands where the elephantand Jinrickisha flourish.I had brought with me the manuscriptof Searles' play, and I fell uponIt Irritably and began reading the firstact. The alalogue moved briskly, andI read on as though enfolded In theair of a crisp spring morning. Mygrouch over the upsetting of my plansyielded under the spell of his humor."Lady Larkspur" was the nameassumed by the daughter of a reclusenaturalist In the valley of Virginia.She had known no life but that ofthe open country, where she ran wildall summer, aiding her father .In collectingplants and butterflies. Hehad educated the girl in such a mannerthat only the cheer and joy oflife were known to heh Hating mankind,he had encouraged her In nature-worship.She knew no literatureexcept the classics; all history, eventhe history of the storied valley Inwhich- she lived, was a sealed bookto her.The girl's curiosity Is roused by thesudden appearance of strangers fromthe unknown world beyond, whomshe mystifies by'her quaint old-world-Ishness. Searles had taken an oldtheme and given a novel twist to It.The solution of the mystery of thefather's exile and an amusing complicationof lovers afforded a suspensiveinterest well sustained to theend. In the last act the girl appearsat a ball at a country house In sophisticatedraiment, and the story ends inthe key of mirth in which It began.It was a delightful blending andmodernization of Diana, Atalanta,Cinderella, and Rosalind; hut even Inthe typewritten page it was amazinglyalive and well calculated toevoke tears and laughter. That aplay so enthralling should be burledIn a safety-vault was not to bethought of, and I sat down and wroteSearles a long letter demanding thathe at qnce forget the lost star forwhom he had written the piece, suggestingthe names of several wellknownactresses I .thought worth consideringfor the difficult loading role.Not satisfied with this, I telephoneda telegram to the agent at Bartonfor transmission to Searles at the Ohioaddress he had given me.The next day passed without Incident,and on the second, hearingyou reflect the "lady's sentiments? I'mproperly humiliated either way. Tellme Just what she said.""Well, sir. she Just laughed when Itook the liberty of apologizing.""The sneering laughter of outrageddignity! Go ahead and give me therest of it.""It was at ten she came, sir, and theguard held her up, not recognizingher, here at tho gate, and when thecar wouldn't stop the boys chased herand fired at the tires of her machine.It was very dreadful, sir. And at thehouse—at the door, sir—the guardwas very harsh with her, sir, mostregrettable.""You certainly made a mess of Itl"I ejaculated. "But you did let herIn—Into her own house, we mustremember—you did grant her thecourtesy of a lodging for the night?"Inquired Ironically."She's retired, sir. There was a ladywith her; maybe a maid; I can'texactly say; and we did everything,sir, to make her comfortable. Shewas not what you might say fussy,but quite human-like. I hope you'llpardon us, sir, which was due to notbeing warned.""Oh, It's all right with me, but Inthe morning she'll probably bounce thewhole lot of us. An old lady fatiguedfrom a Journey cross country andshot at on her own premises —Its avery pretty story."Antolne was swallowing hard In hiseffort to continue the recital."You say an old lady, sir; the mistressIs not really what you wouldcall so old—not exactly, sir.""Really a youngish party, I shouldsay," volunteered Graves, the gardener.Just what these veterans would callold was a matter fit conjecture."Young or old, she would hardlyrelish her reception. There was amaid, and they came In a machine?Did you put up the chauffeur or didyou shoot him on the spot?""It was a hired machine, sir; andmadame sent It away. The driverwas a good deal upset over the shooting.One of the rear tires was quiteblown away.""You're in luck If he doesn't haveyou all arrested to-morrow," I remarkedconsolingly."Mrs. Bashford seemed quite amusedby the occurrence," Antolne continued."'Wonderful America!' she kept say-Drove Past the House,Ing after we'd got her Inside. Wegave her tea. which was all she askedfor. We did our best to make hercomfortable. And there was a dog,sir. I recall that the master was notfond of dogs."Antolne spoke truly; If there wasanything my uncle Bash detested ItTHE OBSERVER, MONTAGUE, MICH."Suffer and bo strong—that's thewatchword! We will hope that Mrs.Bashford Is a woman of sound senseand tact who will exert .herself torestore peace on her property. WhenI call to pay my respects and makemy adieus I shall speak to her of thesituation and vouch for your loyalty.You haven't, I'suppose, seen the widowyet—she's probably sleeping late.""Quite the contrary, sorr. She'sbeen up and around for an hour an'more. She's been all over the placeand stopped for a squint at tho garage,her and the pup.""She been here. Inspecting thogarage?" I asked, glancing at mywatch. It was not yet eight o'clock.The banter died out of me; clearly Ithad been my duty to be on band topilot her over the estate, or at leastto receive her at the garage. "Justwhat was the lady's frame of mind—as to things generally. Peeved, wasshe, over the row last night?""Oh, no, sorr; quite cheerful an*friendly. She's ordered a big carfrom New York and told me It wouldbe coming up to-day and to make aplace for It."Here was news Indeed, destroyingall my hopes that she meditated onlybrief sojourn. The purchase of amachine meant definitely that shewould remain for some time, perhapsfor the winter. I poured a second cupof coffee, swallowed It, grabbed my hatand stick, and asked enlightenmentas to the course taken by Mrs. Bashfordwhen she left the garage.She took the lower road, sorr,toward the Sound and stepped offquite brisk-like."It was the serenest of Septembermornings, and I hurried away, thinkingthe cloudless blue arch, thetwinkling sea, and the crisp air mightserve to soften my aunt's dl»pleasureat her hostile reception.
