WOULD CUT The SEASON OF
NAVIGATION TO DECEMBER |
Marine Men Believe That il Would
Be More Profitable to
Quit Earlier.
MEN FEAR The LAST TRIPS

Vessel agents are inclined to believe
with President William Livingstone OF
the Lake Carriers association that the
lake navigation season should be short
ened. A number OF them agreed this
morning that no one has any business
steamboatng at this time of the year
And yet there are stin boats to come

the shippers are much TO blame. They
hold the steamboat companies up until
late i'm the season before they are ready
TO ship and then they are i'm big rush

the winter as the companies Will take
their shipments. The steamship COM
panies would gladly get started earlier

first of December. or when the insur-
ance runs out, on the fifth, II is i'm
possible to get them 70 move early IN

erybody else. and the result is that at
Aeast three weeks are lost at the be-
ginning that must be made up after
the close"
Another man said that he hoped the
insurance companies would discontinue

asked an agent. and he held up a pic
ture of the ice-coated Muncy.
A captain said; I'VE take the cham
ces. We gamble with life, the owners
gamble with dollars. Sometimes We
lose out and sometimes they are the
ones that suffer. II is a big gamble
this toying with chances on the great
lakes along at this time of the year,
and while we all carry out our orders,
il seems hard at times Most people
believe that sailors love TO run chances
and that nothing delights them 50
much as a post-seas trip when they
are subject 10 danger. This is not so.
They are brave lot of men who sail
the lakes. and they will carry out their
orders whatever they may be. But do
not think they like il. Far from it.
They fear the trips but they set their
teeth determined To do their best and
hope for deliverance."

vor OF cutting down the navigation
season to Dee l. says the Duluth
Herald That was the end OF the
season years ago. and the oldtimers
think that is about the right time to
call il a season.
There has been much loss of life this
year. and marine men are now more
than ever in favor OF cutting down the
time.

their opinions along this line. but one

PINE PLAINS NOT FERTILE.
People Who Know Criticize West
Michigan Bureaus Literature.

| The literature distributed by the
Western Michigan Development bureau
I is being sharply criticised by Grand
Rapids men who know farming condi-
tons in this part of the state, says
the Grand Rapids Herald The criti-
cism chiefly relates TO the apparent
effort of the bureau management to
boom the jack pine plains lands and
TO make the inexperienced believe such
lands are valuable.
The literature illustrates cucumber
pickles growing on jack plains land,
while even amateur farmers know that
cucumbers cannot stand drouth. and
that sandy soil feels the drouth quick
est and most severely.
Another illustration is entitled
sand Just White Sand: but look at
the Cabbage" As a matter Of fact
cabbage Is mucky soil crop and does
not thrive on sand. There are several
other Illustrations designed to give the
impression that the jack pine plains
lands are great for farming purposes
and the local critics object TO this be-
cause Of the wrong impression it is
apt to give.
There is a lot OF good land in the
territory covered by the development
bureau. as good land for farming pur-
poses as viii be found in the world"
said a local business man who has
farming connections yesterday.
III the bureau would devote itself to
bringing the good lands into use it
would be doing a great and good work
But 10 make the inexperienced believe
these sand lands are good, is to invite
them To almost certain disaster. BY
hard work and keeping the entire fam
lily at it man may get some sort of
poor living on a jack plains farm.
but how much better it would be to
put him on good land and give him n
fair chance. a pauper farmer is
neither "A credit nor benefit to the
state and sand farms mean pauper
farmers. / know what 1 am talking
about because / have been all over
