The Western Passenger Asso-
ciation's Special Commit
tee Recommends II.
TO REDUCE SOME PRICES
HEREAFTER THE 1000 MILE
BOOKS WILL BE SOLD FOR
FIFTY DOLLARS WITH A RE.
BATE OF $3.50.

Complete revision of the present sys
tenn of interchangeable mileage ticket
and credential certificates is recon
mended in the report of a special com
mittee appointed by the Western
Passengr Association, which com
pleted it's labors Wednesday, The
committee recommends granting
part of the demands of the commercial
travellers, bu tholds that some of the
requests are impossible.
While the report of the committee
has not yet been given to the public
it was learned in Chicago railroad cir
cles that the committee proposed t.
reduce the price of the 2,000-mile
ticket from $50 to $50, and to make
the rebate, when the ticket is used up
$3.50 instead of $3.50, the presen
sum. This really splits" the differ
ence" with the commercial travellers
who wished to be permitted ID pur
chase the books at fiat rate of
cents mile without any deposit.
Another feature of the committee.
report, it is understood, is to provide
for reducing the mileage from 1000 tt
1000 miles. The price and manner il
use of the credential is to remain the
same as it is now, except that wheI
the passenger has travelled 1000 miles
he is entitled to the benefits of the
net rate mile provided.
New Forms of Tickets.
Two new forms of tickets, it is said
are recommended. One of these is ;
500-mile individual ticket, good onl.
on the line selling it and for the us'
of the person whose name and de
scription appear on the cover. The
selling price of this ticket will b.
$3.50 and no rebate will be allowed
1t makes a rate of 21a cents a mile
and will prove popular with that clas
of people who do not do a great dea
of travelling, but desire a lower rat
than that afforded in the regular lo
cal tickets.
The other new form of ticket is
1,00O-mile book. similar in every par
ticular to the 500-mile book. 1t will
be good only for the person who's
name and description appear on TIL
cover and on the road issuing tn
ticket 1t will sell for $25 gross, bu
the purchaser will be allowed rebat
of $4.75 when the ticket is used up.

FARMERS CLUB MEET.

The Seville and Sumner Farmers
club met at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
w. t. Pitt Thursday, October 4th,
1906.
Meeting called to order by Presi-
dent Pitt.
Mrs. Geo. Abbott of Alma read a
scripture lesson, the 149th Psalm.
Song by the club.
There being no program and no
report from the committee, the presi-
dent presented an article from the
Orange, Judd Farmer, on farmers
putting the price on their own pro-
ducts. This topic was quite thorough
ly discussed by Mr. Geo. Abbott, Mr..
II. Bansil, w. c. Mallory and others.
On motion of Mr.. Mallory the club
thought it would be wise to CORE
spond with the Farmer and get as
much information as possible along
this line. Mr.. Mallory was appointed
to carry on the correspondence.
Several topics of interest to the
club were discussed by the ladies and
men. This very interesting question
came first from the question box.
What is the highest aim in life2
Mrs r. A. Gee opened the discussion
by saying the highest aim in life is
the spirit of love to God, and to man
kind.
Mrs George Abbott considered the
question as a vital one and one all
should give attention to. Mr. Mallory
thought the aim to have a welcome
in our home for our children was a
worthy one. Mr.. Pitt thought the
aim in life should be to leave this old
world of ours little better than we
found, that there was something to
i've for besides another dollar. Mr.. !
Bansil of Alma, Mrs w. c Mallory. |
Mrs. Chas. Coon of Shepherd, Mrs. |
Pitt and nearly all took part in the
discussion of this topic.
While the attendance was not large
IN account of the very busy time, the
meeting was an interesting, and we
hink all present enjoyed it, The next
meeting will be held with Mr.. and
drs. Henry Basil at Alma. A good
'rogram has been arranged for this

1906 SUGAR BEET CROP.

In speaking of the 1906 sugar beet
crop The Sugar Beet Culturist OF
Bay City in the issue of Sept. 21 said
we are up to the beet harvest. All
along the line through the great sugar
beet belt of Michigan the work of
harvesting the crop will soon be on in
earnest. The summer weather has
been ideal for the beets and all signs
point to record breaking yield.
Michigan will lead every state in the
union this year in point of sugar re-
fineries in operation and the raw ma
terial produced.
More acres have been given over TO
sugar beets this season than ever be-
fore In the state it is estimated that
100000 acres have been planted. This
means something to farmers who have
added sugar beets to their regular ro-
tation OF crops. 1t means a higher
price for other farm products. It
means better farming and better crops
that follow the beet crop, for the
reason that the extra tillage and care
ful cultivation given to the sugar
beets, has left the land in a healthy
state for the crops that follow.
There is one thing that has been
brought about since the advent of the
sugar beet industry in Michigan, and
that is desire to improve farming
conditions. To bring about this crop
rotation has worked a revelation in
agriculture in this state and has been
taken up by the successful farmers,
until today all through the sugar beet
belt, crop rotation is being practiced
In short time with sugar beets as
the ready money crop, Michigan will
be the greatest agricultural state in
the union.
What will the harvest be- To the
man that has titled his land and cul-
tivated and cared for his crop, it will
be the greatest in years. No excuse /
exists or can be given why the 1906 /
beet crop should not be the most |
in history. The farmers
will receive loads of money for their
crop. Sixteen sugar refineries in this
state will pay to the farmers for their
raw product this year the enormous
sum of six million dollars. This is a
ready money crop, the only one that
the farmer can depend upon. The
money is sure, and the crop certain.
All of the sixteen sugar factories will
start the 1906 sugar making campaign
shortly after October 1st 1t will be
/ year of general prosperity with the
.ugar beet farmers Of Michigan"

ADVICE TO BEET GROWERS.
The weather Now Requires Beets to he
CoVered-Large piles and Good
Ventilation

The weather is getting cooler now.
and those who have their beets one
half harvested or more, should put
them up in fairly good piles and cover
them we'll for we shall probably have
some freezing weather before you can
deliver the whole Of the latter half
of your crop If they are already har-
vested in small piles, take a dray or
low-down wagon and double, thrible
or quadruple these piles as the case
may be, or make them at least large
enough SO they will contain one ton
OF beets. Larger piles are better, pro-
viding that the beets are put up in
long ricks, with base on the ground
OF not over FIVE or siz feet, being care
ful TO leave ventilation in the top of
such ricks, or even large, round piles.
The weather has been so warm late
ly that it was not safe to put beets
into very large piles, but the ground
has cooled off some now and we do
not think there will be any trouble
with the beets heating if they were
put in large piles now, providing there
is plenty of ventilation left at the top
of the piles
If you have large amount of beets
to harvest, better begin now to think
about getting them out reasonably
fast, for if the weather should come
wet and disagreeable later and bother
you some, then you would wish that
more of them had been harvested
earlier. We think that every con-
tractor should aim TO get h.s beets
harvested and covered up this month. |
Some years we have very nice
weather in November, and at other
times, it is a disagreeable, cold and !
we have known the ground to freeze
hard the first week in November and
not thaw out again until the next I
spring. Hence we say the safest plan
is to have the beets pretty we'll har-
vested during the month of Novem-
Der.
We had some difficulty in getting
help to unload our cars and hence a
lew days delay in loading at our sta
ion, but this will soon be overcome
and then we will be serving you again
With cars as usual, and trust that you
will bear with us little as we have
quite large crop of beets to handle
his fall, and cannot take all of the
'eets in before freezing weather.
