good you can possibly derive from them.

Farmers In Hard Luck.

Hudson, Mich, April 22.-Farmers
in this vicinity who have contracted
acreage with beet sugar companies
will have a hard time Of 1t this season.
The work of planting will be consid-
erably delayed, because the land used
for this purpose Is nearly all low, and
owing to recent heavy rains is covered
with water and cannot be ploughed
for several weeks. Again, 1t Is next
TO impossible to get help on a farm.
Many farmers are willing to pay $25
per month and board for men, but this
offer seems to have little effect, and
the result will be many acres OF good
land will not be worked this season.

HE BETTER RESIGN
Gratiot's Poor Superintendent
Split on Their Report
ON CHARGES AGAINST DAVIS
Helms Believes the County Poorhouse-
Keeper Guilty Of immortality and
crueIty-Duncan Considers His Win.
dlcation Complete.

Ithaca, Mich, April 2i.-The county
superintendents Of the poor, who have
for the last week been investigating
serious charges against Jerry Davis,
which alleged immortality and brutal
ity while keeper of tbs county house,
have made their report.
On the charge of imrll ] al relations
with female inmates he was exoner-
ated by two of the board. Messrs. Ely
and Duncan, Mr.. Helms finding him
guilty. In the charge or cruelty the
board also split, Duncan and Ely claim
Ing no cases as charged had been
proven, while Helms claimed the
charge had been proven TO his salts
faction.
Mr.. Ely, while he claims to see no
reason why Mr.. Davis should not re-
turn to the county mouse and resume
his duties as OversccT, says there has
been such feeling b, ought about
through the charges that the best
thing for him to do is 10 hand in his
resignation. Mr. Duncan considers the
vindication of DAVIS &C mplete. The
attorneys for defendant seem well
pleased over the verdict. Mr.. Ely
stated that on the charge of immoral
ity any man would have exonerated
Davis after listening to the testimony.
and the only reason lie did not think
it advisable for him to return to his
old position was the amount Of talk
and feeling existing among many peo-
pie in Gratiot, brought about by the
investigation. He, therefore, person
ally thought it advisable fol Mr.. Davis
to hand in his resignation.
Mr.. Helms said that at least for a
few days he would not Gaze to express
his opinion for publication.

TO TRY ALGERIAN ALFALFA.

Thomas H. Kearney of the bureau of plant industry came up from Imperial. where he has been for few days, yes terday morning. Yesterday he com pleted arrangements with John Iunger- man to put in an acre Of Algerian and Turkestan alfalfa. This plant is very similar to the ordinary alfalfa grown here except that the leaves are smaller. That however NIT. Eearney thinks win sooE be overcome with the amount of water used here. It is a much more hardy plant and will thrive on land that contains a great deal of allzaH It will also grow with less water than other kinds and is in many ways fitted for land that is not the richest.
 It has been tried in the northern part of the territory with very good results. Mir. Jungerman will also put some land in Algerian and Russian barley and wheat for the same purpose as that O. the alfalfa, namely, to see if it can be grown with any degree Of success on all ali land.
