CROP STILL ONSOLD
About a Million and a Half Bushels
Now In Hands OF Farmers
BEAN JObBERS At SAGINAW
Good Attendance and Lively Discussion of
Facts and Figures

Directors of the Michigan Associa-
ton of Bean Jobbers met in the
Hotel Vincent last Friday for the pur-
pose of discussing existing conditions
in the trade and the prospects for the
coming months. Those present from
out of the city were d. Mansfield,
Remus; T. A. Nowlen, Albion; Ed.
Burroughs, Flint; L. w. Murray, Car
son City, and Secretary V. p Cash,
Riverdale, besides a number of local
men, including Henry w. Carr and
w. l. Biles. The meeting was called
to consider the question or giving
dealers and elevator men what infor-
nation could be obtained of the sup
ply of beans remaining on the farm
ers' hands from the 1910 crop. What
figures could be secured indicate that
not over 25 per cent of the 1910 crop
is left TO be marketed. The total crop
last year amounted to six million
bushels, 10 per cent of which could
be estimated as waste and shrinkage.
There were thus over FIVE million
bushels of merchantable beans and of
this quantity 3,75O,0OO bushels have
already been marketed, leaving 1900
900 yet to be disposed of during the
next six months before the production
of the 1911 crop. The consumption
this year was larger than during 1909
1910 and the prices are about the
same averaging $155 to S1.65 per
bushel paid by the dealers to the
farmers. The general finding OF the
directors indicates that prices are be-
low normal and should not go lower.
OF the amount of beans still on hand
about 100000 bushels will be required
for seeds.

CRUSHED 70 DEATH
Samuel Clifford the Victim Of a
Shocking Accident

Samuel Clifford, we'll known
Washington farmer whose home was
just south of the Center, met a tragiN
death Tuesday afternoon. He had
gone to the woods after load of logs,
and as he did not return at supper
time Mrs. Clifford became anxious
and went to find him. She passed
by the wagon in the woods but saw
nothing of her husband, and so re-
turned to the house. Later she made
another trip accompanied by the dog.
The animal soon led her to the spot
where her husband lay crushed be-
meath a log, cold in death. The log
had evidently rolled upon him from
the wagon. We have no further par
ticulars.

BEET STOCK FOOD
Proving a Winner Now Made In Bay
City and Alma
OTHER PLANTS TO Be EQUIPPED
Farmers Speak Highly Of Its Feeding
Qualities

In speaking of the molasses pulp
fodder made by the Bay City and
Alma sugar plants, the Saginaw
Evening News of Tuesday said
Another new and useful by-prod-
uct has been introduced by the Mich
igan Sugar company in the shape of
excellent cattle fodder, composed Of
mixture Of molasses and sugar beet
pulp This fodder was discovered in
Germany and came under the obser-
vation of General Manager w. H.
Wallace, of the Michigan : gar COM
pany on his visit to Europe last year
He had machinery for mixing the
fodder installed at the company's
plants at Bay City and Alma, and
the result has been SO satisfactory,
the same installation is now likely to
be made at all the company factories.
"Mr. Wallace has just returned
from a trip TO South Carolina and
other points and in speaking Of the
new fodder said 10 the News Tuesday:
There is a good demand for the fod-
der among the farmers where it has
been introduced, and / have no doubt
we shall have to install the necessary
machinery to mix il at all six Of our
Michigan factories. Bay City and AL
ma are already turning out the fod-
der in large quantities. 1t is made
after a German method and is a mix
ture of our own molasses and the
beet pulp
Farmers who have used the fod-
der state that it is appetizing, pala-
table and highly satisfying to cattle,
who go after it avidly. 1t makes the
best kind of feed, it is claimed, and is
at once economical, cheap, clean and
beneficial"
