Some OF the best farm land In the
country has been rendered Of NO value
by being allowed to get into a con-
dition In which the rains can wash
the soil away and leave the subsou ON
the hillsides ridged and quilted. At
the Wisconsin roundup institute c. p.
Goodrich related . little farm history
that strikingly bears out this assertion.
He said that when he was q boy he
lived on his fathers farm in New
York state. The land was worth at
the time of his leaving 1t $115 per acre.
That was about nifty years ago. The
soil was productive and the farm q
money1naker. The land was rolling
The 4dges were kept ip grass and
~ good pasturage. when they were
mot cut for hay. There was another
farm not far away on which he some
MINES worked.
2Scently Mr.. Goodrich visited the old
hob(e farm OF his boyhood. He found
It in q most dilapidated and rundown
condition. The men that had been liv-
ing ON it had devoted it mainly to
grain growing year after year. They
had kept the ridges plowed up, till
they got SO bad they. could not be
plowed. The rains year after year had
washed the soil from the ridges and
had carved out deep gullies. often not
more than two rods apart, and 80 deep
they could be neither plowed over nor
nlled up. In time the men that owned
the farm had abandoned all the ridged
part to Canada thistles and other
weeds, and even these were stunted in
growth. The land is now worth hard
ly more than SIS per acre.
Mr.. Goodrich visited the farm on
which he used to sometimes work. He
found 1t in high state Of fertility and
productveness. The owner said that
he had been offered $3.50 per acre for 1t,
but had refused the offer. He had
farmed that land successfully. He had
not robbed the soil and then stripped
1t of Its sod and left 1t to the mercy
OF the elements. He had kept the
ridges covered with good mantle of
verdure. This had held the soil from
being washed away when the rains
faIe. Once in awhile the sod on the
hllstdes had been broken for single
year, when 1t had been put into some
crop that would rotate we'll with grass.
Then 1t had been seeded down to grass
again.

cPe quilted they should be kept COW

Rotating Crops.

Station the conclusion has been
reached that not only can larger crops
be secured. but that the fertility Of the
soil can be better improved by judi
cious rotations. A comparison Of Goa
tinuous grain growing with the rosa-
ton OF grain with grass and clover
showed gain by the latter method Of
8 bushels Of corn. bushels of oats,
and bushels Of wheat per acre. The
average percentages Of gain were for
corn - per cent, oats 26 per cent, and
wheat "A per cent IN such systems Of

South and wheat production In the

Next Monday Is the first day of
September and it has been set apart
by the Michigan law makers as a
legal holiday. As rule the laboring
classes do not get any too many holt
days unless they break away from
work and take a day off for needed
recreation.
It is hoped that an observance of
the day will be acquiessed in by the
business men and factory interest so
far as ii is convenient for them 10 do
so. The city flag will be flung to the
breeze in honor of the occasion. The
Modern Woodmen and Knights of
Pythias lodges are preparing for a
public demonstration at Ellis park
where a game of ball will be played
between picked men from the mem
bership of each order and strongly
contested event may be looked for.
A whole lot of out door games have
been arranged and a field day of
sports may be expected. The city
park will be open and its free use is
extended to all who may desire to go
there for pleasure. Exercises at
Ellis park will be held in the after
noon and in order to defray the ex-
penses necessarily incurred small
admittance fee will be charged to he

STILL CLAMoRING FOR ROAD.
Fairpiains People Want one Direct
To Belding.


The BANNER has heretofore called
attention to the fact that the mer-
chants of this city are losing whole
lot of trade which would come here
from Fairplains and rich farming
country lying to the north and east if
the farmers had good roads to travel
over and haul their produce.
Our Commission merchants and pro-
duce buyers would also be the gamers
thereby as large quantities Of potatoes
wheat and other grain raised there is
marketed in Greenville because a
graveled road into that place is easy
of access.
The farmers want direct line and
one of the citizens of that section the
other day suggested an extension of
north Bridge street north TO the coun-
ty line requiring the opening Of only a
half mile of road He says il can be
worked with comparatively little eX-
pense and plenty Of gravel would be
donated toward making it a good road.

Major Remington will recommend
