The attendance was good and the
program interesting.
How to plant potatoes was given a
long talk, in which ALL including the

too far advanced for the general farmer
to avail himself of the various methods
given, the publishing of the details will
be deferred until another spring.

the sentiment that to look on the bright

good way to keep sufficiently young to
be entitled to the space occupied in the
world by the life which is given to all.

It Looks Good.

Those who have been engaged and
interested in the beet sugar industry
since 1898 in Michigan. have every
reason this season for feeling greatly
encouraged over the outlook. Not in
the past five years have the conditions
at this time given anything like the
encouragement to either grower or
manufacturer, and only that the crop
has proven its staying qualities and its
worth as ready money producer,
through conditions that put every other
crop in Michigan to the bad, there
wouldn' be enough beets grown in
Michigan to produce sugar enough for
ones coffee at one meal. AS it is the
crop has been gaining new converts
year by year until this year when Mich
igan will haye its banner acreage of
something over 100000 acres, being a
very close second to Colorado with 116,-
600 acres. Michigans increase this
season came practically unsolicited.
Never in the crops history in this state
were the farmers so willing to take con-
tracts for acreage as during the solicit
ing campaign. The longer the crop
stays with us the more farmers realize
its worth and if the conditions remain
as favorable up to harvest as they give
evidence of doing the capacity of every
Michigan house will be taxed and our
farmers will be handed something like
six millions of dollars. Sugar Beet Cul-

come an annual affair. If the grounds,

tablished in the we'll known building

purposes.

hill hired room at the Central house
in west Owosso and retired about 10

effects of breathing gas. DIR. Arnold

struggle the man was revived. The gas
was found turned on, but the man
claims that he turned it off before re-
tiring. Evidently he unintentlonally
turned it on again.
