Tho Safest and Most Profitable Farm
Crop.
From the Natioual Farmer.

From the Natioual Farmer.
The thoughtful farmer who gives the
matter candid consideration must con-
cede that the best crop is the safest and
most profitable crop raised on the farm.
1t Is the safest for the reason that the
price is fixed before he puts the seed
into the ground. Unlike any other crop
the beet price is not subject to the fiuc-
tuations of the market.
Two years ago farmers in Michigan
sold their potato crop from rs cents to
one dollar a bushel.
Last year they sold potatoes at 10 to
25 cents a bushel and thousands of
bushels rotted on the ground because
there was no inducement at the going
prices to haul them to the market
This year buyers are paying farmers
25 to SO cents for their potato crop.
The farmer who grows beets averaged
$6 ton and over last year and he will
get as much this year.
The sugar factory company is at great
expense before the beets reach the fac
tory. To get an acreage of 10, 900 acres
signed up and the consequent expense
of having agriculturists keep in touch
with the grower and the erecting of
weighing stations for the convenience
of farmers, INVOLVES an expense of $780,.
600 and the expense of securing smaller
acreage and caring for the same is in
like proportion.
There isn't another crop on the farm
to which the farmer can rely upon 80
readily for cash when the crop is har.
vested.
The fact that the great majority of
beet growers are satisfied is evidenced
by the increased acreage and the in
creased number of beet growers every
year.
Beet growers who may be approached
by few agitators who are never salts
ged with their conditions will do we'll
to give the facts herein stated candid
and thoughtful consideration.

Death Of Rev. Riley Q. Crawford.

Rev. Riley G. Crawford, known to
very many Shiawassee county citizens,
died at the Clark Memorial home for
superanuated Methodist ministers in
rGrand Rapids on Friday night, aged
nearly 81 years. Mr.. Crawford came to
this county with his parents when 90
years Of age and a year later he became
member OF the Methodist church and
in 1s4l he received an appointment as
junior preacher on what was known as
the Palmer circuit. From that time on
his life was devoted to the ministry so
that at the time of his death he enjoyed
the dual distinction, among many 9TH
ers, of being the oldest minister of the
denomination in Michigan and the hold
er of the record for continuous service
in the state. He was notable in the
church and in various other respects
Experiences such as are enjoyed by few
men fell to his lot In long lifetime OF
religious and secular activity. He was
q speaker at the founding of the Repub-
lican party under the oaks in Jackson
and was to the time of b 8 death an ad.
herent Of that party.
Mr.. Crawfords death was due to old
age. He is survived by brother, Capt.
ID. G. Crawford of Ionis, two sisters,
Mrs. M. r. Chamberlain of Grand Rap
ids and Mrs. Amelia B. Lewis of Byron,
this county. Postmaster Homer War.
rem Of Detroit, was nephew of the de.

Death cf chancey p. Reynolds.

The death of Chancey p Reynolds,
which occurred in st. Luke's hospital
Chicago, Monday night, caused pro-
found sorrow to the many friends of
family in this county. Mr.. Reynolds
had been confined to the hospital for
twelve weeks with an attack of
typhoid. pneumonia, the fever running
forty-six days. after which he seemed
to grow stronger and to be we'll on the
road to permanent recovery when an
internal abcess which affected the heart
developed and this caused his death.
Chancey p, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Preston B. Reynolds. was born on the
family homestead four miles south of
Owosso, Feb 13. 1875, and here he grew
to young manhood. After attending
the Maple River district school, he
graduated with the class Of 1895 from
the Owosso high school and later at
tended the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege for two years. His school and
college work gave promise of useful
career in whatever he might choose as
his life work Deeply interested in
agricultural and live stock matters as
well as thorough student along these
lines, an easy and practical writer up
on all subjects touching the welfare of
the farmer, he very naturally drifted
into editorial work with an agricultural
paper, His first work along this line
was with the Chicago Daily Drovers
Journal for four years and his success
was so marked that advancement came
with call to become editor and busi-
ness manager of the Prairie Farmer, a
publication with $4,000 subscribers in
the rich agricultural sections of the
central west, holding this position at
the time of his death. During these
years of editorial work Mr. Reynolds
visited nearly all the agricultural col
leges in the west and formed very
extensive acquaintance among the pro-
fessors, agricultural writer's and live
stock breeders and it is safe to say that
all these gentlemen were pleased to
count Mr.. Reynolds as their friend and
that his death is by them sincerely
mourned.
Shiawassee county has sent out many
young men of whom we are all proud
because of something they have &C.
complished which has made the world
better. The career of Chancey p.
Reynolds, short as it was, gave unusual
promise of brilliant accomplishments
along useful lines and that the future
looked bright to him cannot be doubt
ed. In every walk of life he was a
manly man, an honor to his parents
and the neighborhood which was proud
to point to him as one of its sons. The
sympathy of many friends is extended
to all members of his family.
Surviving Mr.. Reynolds are his wife
and two children, one four years of
age, the other two weeks, his parents
and two brothers, Floyd and Leo. Mrs.
Reynolds condition was such that she
was unable to be with Mr.. Reynolds at
the time of his death. His father had
been with him for ten weeks, his
mother portion of the time.
The remains were brought to the old
home where funeral services were con-
Quoted Thursday afternoon by Rev. G.
n Hanks and the body was taken to
Milford this morning to be placed in q
vault until Mrs. Reynolds is able tc
! come for the burial.
