tablished i'm 1876. will surrender its
charter to the supreme lodge and go

upon This step at meeting held in

The decision was due to the fact
that the lodge faces am indebtedness

claims. and that in the last eight
years the organization has dropped i'm
membership from $4,000 to less than

tions consists of a debt of $4,000,
said to be due from the supreme
lodge, and the June dues, a total csti-
mated to equal 50 per cent of the
outstanding death claims.
At first the assessments in the or
ganization were 81 per capita for
every death in the ranks No surplus
was accumulated and latter, when the
deaths began TO increase, trouble
came In the last few years the rates
have been increased many times over
but many dropped out, few new men

LOSES HER Prestige
Michigan Ranks Third in Value OF
Timber Industry and Saw Mill
Products.

Michigan has dropped to third
place in the lumber and timber in
dustry OF the United States. The de-
cline OF the once greatest numbering
state is shown in cold figures by the
investigations of the department of
commerce and labor, just made pub
lie. The figures are based on the
census of 1905. when the six leading
states OF the Union in the lumber and
timber industry were Washington,
with $40, 2,5l2 as the value of its
product; Wisconsin, S44395, ,766; +;
Michigan, $4o,569,335; Louisiana, $35-
192,374; Minnesota, S33 31s3, ,3O9;
Pennsylvania, S3l,642,39O For the
entire country the value of lumber
and timber products were S5sO,O22, r
$50, and 1927 establishments were
engaged in the lumber business.
The figures given include logging
camps, saw mills and planning mills.
But when it comes to the consider
alton of the number OF thousand feet
of saw logs produced, Michigan drops
off the map entirely The five lead
states in the amount produced are:
Washington. Louisiana, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania and Arkansas Because
OF the higher value of It's saw logs,
however, Michigan still comes in for
honorable mention in the figures of
1905. Judging from the value OF the
products the FIVE leading states were
Wisconsin, Washington, Michigan,
Minnesota and Pennsylvania.
Michigan has dropped to third
place also in the value OF sawmill
products, such as rough lumber,
shingles and hoops The value OF
rough lumber produced throughout
the country in 1905 was S435, 5,7OsOs4.
The leading states in value of sawmill
products. in the order of their rank
were: Wisconsin, Washington. Mich
igan, Louisiana and Pennsylvania.
The number of sawmills i'm the entire
country was 1927. These mauufac-
turcd products oi total value OF

BLOCKING AACHINE
A New Labor-Savins Device In.
tended for Beans But
will be Used
IN THE CULTIVATION OF BEETS
Mr.. w. A. Higgs. Rural Mail Car
rier. the Inventor Machine
10 be Patented.

The Caro- Advertiser OF last week
had the following description of
Caro- invention:
Just little way beyond the bridge
crossing the railroad near the resi-
dence OF T. o. Spaulding, lies a
field of beans remarkable for the ev-
cnncss OF the stand and at the
further end is small patch of bccts
just peeping through the ground, so
different in appearance from the usual
order as to attract particular atten-
ton.
Both crops were planted with a
new machine, the invention of w. A.
Higgs, rural carrier on route No. 4,
a farmer Of long experience and one
who thinks while he works.
As commonly planted beans are
drilled in continuous rows instead
OF in hills as was done in old days,
but with the Higgs machine they
grow in hills at exact intervals and
as said before grow much more
evenly than when drilled. Another
feature is noticed that the plants grow
in the ridges instead of in hollows or
burrows as when drilled. which tends
to keep the pods further from the
earth and assists in harvesting the
crop.
Nearly one hundred acres have
been planted with the one machine
this season, several farmers having
used it and all are enthusiastic in is
praise. T. r. Purdy has a patch of
ten acres which he says look better
at this stage than any ne has ever had
and speaks ia the highest terms of the
ease of handling and quality of the
work.
Blocking beets is q laborious job
and .hc minds of many men have been
engaged ON the problem of avoiding
it as well as the waste Of seed caused
by planting in a continuous stream.
then destroying all but one plant in
eight or ten inches Of the row. The
German expert who visited Caro- last
fan advocated the use of thirty
pounds OF seed to the acre. while
twenty pounds are commonly used in
tlis section and some use twenty
five.
Beets are tender plants when
young and many times the failure
to get stand results from lack of
strength in the plants to break
tn. ough the crust which forms on the
surface That was the main reason
urged for using large quantity Of
seed, the combined force of several
growing plants often being needed
to break the crust and reach the light
and air
Mr. Higgs. by changing the adjust
ment Of his bean machine, planted
the end of the field above spoken of
to beets, using only ten pounds Of
seed to the acre, dropping several
seeds in hills twelve inches apart
and the land being heavy clay the
advantages of the system are just
now apparent. for the same uniform
ity noted in the beans is seen in the
beets just breaking through the hard
crust. showing that no blocking will
be necessary, but wedding tools only
will be used to finish the hand work
ON the patch
These beets were sown late just as
an experiment, but the promise is SO
great that Mr. Higgs will make one
more machine to plant four rows at
once with the hills at shorter inter
walls. and with a fertilizer attachment
Mr.. Higgs will apply for a patent
on his invention
