ing when the Rev. DIR. Robert r. Booth bitter
~ assaiIed the Brief Statement. and wound up
the Ge neral Assembly had decided not 10 sub
init the Brief Statement TO the presbyteries Tor

use of the Brief Statement in the churches in
the Presbytery DR.. Johnston's resolution, was
defeated by vote of 50 to 20, and the discus
sion was reopened between DR.. Booth and Pro-
fessor Brown. At times the argument was
heated. and Professor Brown was forced TO
modify his language when he alleged that Or.
Booth had made threat concerning other
matters approved Of by the General Assembly
Finally Dr. Booth moved that the whole matter
he tai bled indefinitely. aId this was done.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Congressman Darragh VIII Furnish Seeds
through Department of Agriculture.

In recent issue of the Stanton Clip.
per there appeared the following that
will be of interest TO farmers lone day
this week Congressman Darragh, Of st.
Louis. made another visit TO Glenwood
Farm, Richland township, where John
w. johnson is cultivating Turkestan
alfalfa from seed furnished by Mr..
Darragh through the Department of
Agriculture. 1t is thought that Turkes-
tan alfalfa will take root in light dry
soil and will therefore be valuable in the
dry semi. arid land of the west and up.
ON the rolling sandy soil in the cut
over pineries of Northern Michigan.
Mr.. Darragh found it so deeply rooted
that it required considerable effort TO
pull specimen plants, he regards this as
very satisfactory. as the seed was sown
May 9th of the present year. Mr.. John.
son has the only sowing Of Turkestan
alfalfa in this congressional district, is
very proud OF his crop and never tires
showing it TO interested farmers who are
watching this experiment critically.
While watching the development Of the
alfalfa. Mr.. Darragh has incidentally
driven over much of Ferris and Rich
land townships. He wildly recalls Wis.

Shatfer, Samuel Bailey, Nathan Scott,

surprise at the wonderful change
wrought in this section of Montcalm

Mr. Darragh will gladly secure any
special seeds for thorough testing that
any of our farmers desire.

FARLAND MAY PLAY HERE.
The Greatest Banioist i'm the World May
Appear i'm Alma.

II suitable arrangements can be made
and the support of our people warrants
il, it may be Alma's privilege to listen to
one of Americas foremost musicians
sometime the last Of September. Mr..
Alfred A. Farland, who has just re.
turned from his first tour abroad, has
long been acknowledged here to be the
most wonderful banjoist who has ever
lived, and his appearance in England
has proved beyond doubt his right to
this title. In London Mr.. Farland
achieved a success which is accorded
few American musicians. In the great
audience which greeted him on the
evening Of May 10 at ST. James's Hall,
were seen many of the first people of
Europe, including members of the
Royal family. The press commented
very enthusiastically on Mr.. Farland's
playing. although they but corroborated
what the American press has said ever
since Farland made his first American
tour in 1898. The London Era" had
his TO say: 1.-The object of Thursdays
festival was to introduce TO a London
audience a wonderful banjo player in
the person of Mr.. Alfred A. Farland,
the world.renowned American banjoist,
who comes with a big reputation. This
he most fully sustained. What would
Beethoven have said TO his sonatas be.
ing given on banjo: Yet, even this
most famous of composers would have
had TO admit that Mr.. Farland is not
only banjoist of unsurpassed talent.
but a musician who adorns everything
he handles. He was listened to with
hushed attention that proclaimed the
artist to be no ordinary player, and the
delight of the audience was shown again
and again in thunders Of applause The
London People says in the course of
a long news article 1.-The only London
appearance of Mr.. Alfred A. Farland,
the renowned banjoist was duly cele-
brated. Mr.. Farland was given a
splendid reception and time after time
encores we're called for. The celebrated
virtuoso gave an admiral performance.
Such is the praise the English press has
accorded this young American musician
and there is a chance of having this
man in Alma.
