FRANK STUDT BADLY INJURED

Another sad accident occurred early
last Tuesday morning when Frank
Studt, living near Ashley, was struck
by an Ann Arbor freight train near
Forest Hill. The accident happened
but a few rods from the spot where
Brakesman Hudson was killed one
month ago.
In an interview with the injured
man a representative OF the Record
was informed that he, Studt, had
been attending the county fair at
Ithaca during the day and boarded
the north bound train instead OF the
one going south His home is in the
vicinity OF Ashley, his father being a
farmer. Upon arriving at Forest
Hill he was put off the train by the
conductor Studt states that he
started to walk back toward Alma,
and being sleepy he sat down on the
rail. In a half awake manner he
saw an approaching freight train but
before he could roll from the track he
was struck and hurled TO the side OF
the track, unconscious.
1t was later ascertained that the
man had been drinking heavily and
was in an almost helpless condition
from the time he left Ithaca.
The engineer on the freight saw
the man when he was struck and inn
mediately brought his engine to a
stop, and after backing down the
track search was started for the
injured man. They could find no
trace Of him along the track and the
freight proceeded on its way.
1t was not until daylight Friday
morning that the neighbors living
in the vicinity of the accident dis
covered the man lying in the ditch
by the track
Word was at once sent TO Alma
and B. Z. Button secured a rig and
drove to Forest Hill. The shoes and
stockings OF the unfortunate man as
well as the hat, were missing and
could not be found
Studt was placed on a stretcher,
put aboard the south bound passenger
and taken to Brainerds hospital in
this city In the absence Of DR..
Brainerd it was necessary to call DR..
Day, who administered an opiate and
found that the right limb was broken
just below the hip. The hip was also
quite badly crushed and the leg cut
in several places. Upon the arrival
OF Dr. Brainerd the fracture was re
duced and the injured man cared for
in every way possible. He will re-
cover rapidly and will be removed 10
his home as soon as he is able.

RICHES FOR FARMER
Prodigious Increase in Value of
This Years Crops. The
Michigan
FARMER IS THE ONE WHO HAS
Good Times Assured Him For Many
Years TO Come-What HeIrs the
Farmers. Helps US All

Upwards of one thousand millions
OF dollars more than last year will
be the American farmers earnings
in 1907, Orange Judd Farmer will say
in this weeks issue. Farm produc-
tions this year will be about ten per
cent less in quantity than in 1906,
which was the bumper season. But
the crops Of 1907 will fully equal the
average yields for five years prior to
last season.
The preliminary review by Orange
Judd Farmer also emphasizes that be-
cause Of decreased quantity and in
creased price the leading staples this
season will net over S5ooOOO,O00 more
to the farmers than last year, while
their total gains may be almost twice
as great.
The farmers income for the FIVE
years ending with 1907 promises to
be greater by over 10000 millions of
dollars than during the FIVE years
1897 inclusive. As the vast indus
trial prosperity Of the past Is years
has been based upon the agricultural
revival which characterized 1887,
the Orange Judd Farmer predicts an
even better era Of good times now
than in the recent past because OK
these marvellous gains in agriculture.
1t says "The farmer was never in
so healthy a position a he is today
financially, socially politically, men
tally, spiritually. The increase in the
value OF his real estate has been pro-
digious He owes less money than
ever before. He has greater assets
than ever Again, the farmers wants
are greater He is in the market for
more and better breeding stock, farm
implements, household goods and
other merchandise. He recognizes
the extra profit that accrues from the
use OF better equipment and better
methods in his business and in his
home
The wheat crop this year will ap-
proximate 625 million bushels, $50
million less than last year Corn
promises to be within per cent as
much as last year, and with but two
or three exceptions the biggest yield
in our history
The yield OF oats vii be about 10
per cent less than last year, but there
will be nearly the usual quantity of
rye, barley, buckwheat, faxseed and
potatoes. The hay crop will exceed
last years a great deal. Orange Judd
Farmer says the cotton crop will be
around 100000 bales Apples will
be much more plentiful. The increase
in the value of these crops per unit
Of each crop this year considerably
larger than last season.
Consumption of farm products
more than keeps pace with produc-
ton. The supply OF grain and cotton
is less per capita for this two years
than ior the corresponding period Of
ten years back. Export demand prom
ises to absorb at fair prices every
pound of surplus meat, grain, cot
ton, etc, that the American people
can spare. The grain importing ma
tions of Europe have only moderate
crops, and must import more food
products than usual It is import
ant to note that the farmers are
getting good prices direct from the
harvest fields this year, whereas or
dinarily prices are low in autumn and
advance after the staple crops are
largely out OF farmers hands.
