GEMS FROM SUCCESS MAGAZINE.

1t is foolish to fix an age at which
men become comparatively useless.
Some men are young at seventy, others
are old at thirty-fve
One of the worst delusions that ever
crept into middle-aged mans mind is
the conviction that he has done his best
work, that he is growing old and must
'Oon give place to younger men,
Every man makes his own dead line.
Some reach it at thirty-five, some at
forty, some at fifty; some do not reach
it at eighty; some never reach it because
they never cease to grow.
The larger,part of the great fortunes
Of this country have been accumulated
after their amassers have passed forty.
In fact the first forty years of mans
life are the preparatory years of train
ing and discipline. A large part of this
time he is laying the foundation-just
getting ready TO rear the superstructure.
Many of us stumble around many years
before we get into the right place, and
then, for additional years we make
many mistakes Most men do not get
wise until they have passed forty. They
may get knowledge before this, but not
much wisdom. Wisdom is ripening

MICHIGAN CROP REPORT.

The condition of wheat on April first
was, in the southern counties 10, in the
central counties 20, in the northern
counties rs and in the state 10. Many
crop correspondents report late sown
wheat badly damaged by freezing and
thawing and predict that a good deal
of the wheat acreage will be plowed up.
While early sown wheat tops have a
brown appearance, correspondents are
quite generally of the opinion that the
roots are alive and that favorable April
weather will increase the condition.
In answer TO the question, HAS wheat
during March suffered injury from any
cause?" 3O5 correspondents in the
southern counties answer Eyes" and 81
'no, " in the central counties 81 answer
"yes' and 2S mo" and in the northern
counties rs answer Eyes and 20 mo"
The amount of wheat in farmers
hands in per cent, as estimated by crop
correspondents at the present time is as
follows: Southern counties Is, central
counties IL, northern counties IL, al d
state Is. This estimate is 10 Per cent
less than estimate given by this depart
ment as the crop correspondents deduct
the quantity used for seed and home
consumption.
The total lumber of bushels of wheat
marketed by farmers in MARCH, at 1913
Touring mills is lSO,373 and at 80 eleva-
tors and to grain dealers 1876 or a
total of 293, $50 bushels OF this whole
amount 2ll ,099 bushels were marketed
in the southern four tiers of counties,
61,416 in the central counties and 10 ,054
in the northern counties.
The estimated total number of bushels
of wheat marketed in the eight months,
August March, is 100000. The
amount of wheat yet remaining in pos
session of growers, after deddctng
10000 bushels used for seed and home
consumption is 1900, 900 bushels.
