The drought continues in all sections Of
the lower peninsula, and its effects are
beginning to be felt throughout the great
er portion of the upper peninsula. All
spring crops are in poor condition. In
the upper peninsula the hay crop is short.
In the lower peninsula the yield is very
light. Pastures are drying up, and many
farmers have been cutting and curing
their rye for fodder. In the southern part
OF the State the wheat harvest is still un-
der way and is poor yield both in straw
and grain. Oats also looks poor. Corn
and potatoes still do well. The later crops
could be benefited by rain.
August Schmidt, who carts sawdust
away from an Arcadia sawmill, was told
he would have to put on something over
his clothes or run terrible risk from the
flying particles. August appeared the
next day in an old overcoat, wooden muf-
fer and cap. A smooth plank also caused
August much trouble. To save falls. he
was advised to smear his shoes with tar.
The tar gathered up all the sawdust it
could hold, and poor August was a sight
to behold, bundled up as # for the coolest
weather, with sweat pouring from every
pore, and hands and feet poulticed with
tar and sawdust. But August ut last
caught on, and the engineer keeps out Of
his way now.
Fifteen years ago the center of the
white pine interests was at Bay City and
in the Saginaw valley, more white pine
being manufactured there than at any
other place. In 1885 and 1896 The center
was transferred to Muskegon. That
standing was kept up until 1889, when
the output commenced to decrease, and to-
day it is only nominal. To-day Duluth
is not only shipping to Buffalo and Tona-
wanda, the natural outlets for the East
ern markets, and to Chicago, but for
year or two she has been shipping to the
old center at Bay City and Saginaw. Now
she goes long step higher and ships to
once the mistress of the worlds
white pine trade.
