both his father and mother, mrs.
Maude Simmons appeared IN ponce
court this morning and asked Judge
Hendershott to take the necessary
action to send him to the reformatory
at EIdora. Motherly love for her boy
prompted her to take this last step
that he may be made to see the right
and desist from the path which sne
states he is now following. She did
not want him to be away from her I'M
til he was of age IL it could be other
wise, she said, but she desired 10
send him to the school of correction
for few months. She was made TO
realize by Judge Hendershott That II
her boy was sent to Eldora he Eight

of his maturity as 1t was very hard
to gain the parole. But the mother
was confident that short time there
would restore his parental regard ana
his good behavior would bring MIN
his release. Papers were gotten out
by the court for the custody OF the
youngster as an incorrigible and II the
mother does not waive In her deter

ly to accept 1t. When he returned
home in the evening, he told his moth.
er that he had been to Davenport. Mrs
Simmons stated that at one time he
took an auto without the owners per-
mission and rode about the city. She
can no longer manage him. she as
serts and although he has done moth
ing seriously wrong as yet, she fears
that he will and for that reason de-
sires his correction now.

MONROE FARMERS
INSTITUTE N0v.l5
ALBA MAKING BIG PLANS FOR
NOVEMBER MEETlNG-LIB-
ERAL AWARDS.

Abba, Oct 19-Monore county farm
ers and many of the Abba people are
looking forward with great deal OF
pleasure to the meeting of the Monroe
county Farmers Institute which will
be held in Abba Nov. 1918. There
will be liberal awards in the corn con.
tests this year, as well as in the ap.
pie contests. There will be about SAC
in each Of these classes which will go
to some farmer in Monroe county.
The officers have established new
rule this year. They will solicit not
one penny from the merchants, but
will supply what money is needed from
their own pockets. They have bal
ance in the treasury from past meet
ings, and they fully appreciate the
kindness of the merchants during the
early days Of the institute. The
money in the treasury will be used as
far as it will go and the farmers will
make up the balance and pay all pre-
miums in fall. Another change which
has been made is that of the annual
booklets. No booklets will be issued
this year. Instead the program with
the announcements will be run in the
newspapers in full pages, and it is
thought this is the better way to reach
all the people of the county.
Good speakers have been secured
and everything now points to good
attendance from all parts of the coun-
ty.
The officers will hold another meet
ing next Saturday at which time they
will complete the program and 1t will
be given to the public.

All Eyes on Western
Michigan
ATTRACTIONS OF THE FRUIT
BELT COUNTRY.

4 Z" E
Great agricultural develop nent is
going on in Michigan's fruit belt. The
awakening is as much in diversified
farming as in fruit growing. Retarded
until late years by lumber interests.
the over-population of the part Of the
United States surrounding this district
is now forcing tillage of its every
acre.
Attention has been widely attracted
to Michigan's fruit belt by the superior
flavor of its fruits, by it's wide range
OF staple crops, by its Incompatible
advantage in marketing, being located
at the hub of the nations population
and commerce, and by greater profits
to growers because of no irrigation ex-
pense The rainfall is plentiful. The
United States department of agricul-
ture defines the fruit belt as he mar
row strip of country in the southern
peninsula bordering Lake Michigan
and extending twenty to thirty miles
eastward, and as having a climate that
enables cultivation with success i'm
possible in other regions of the same
latitude not similarly protected by the
influence OF Lake Michigan which
modifies the prevailing winds from the
west.
The conditions that here produce
better apples, peaches, pears. plums
and cherries, are also especially favor
able for potatoes and all vegetables.
peas, beans, cereals. grasses, clover
and alfalfa. The food problem is here
solved by the diversity Of crops. The
corn crop, as shown by statistics, com.
pares favorably with Yields OF states
in the corn belt, and n rles stock ra,s.
ing profitable; but beg = ID the need for
stock, there are number IF other
crops more profitable. Poultry thrives
in the freedom from vermin: no place
is better for sheep. and dairying is be-
coming more profitable every yeAr
Probably no other spot in Michigan
is being developed and settled as rap
idly as the district in Mason, Manistee
and Lake counties, known as the Swig-
art Tract. Farmers, fruit growers,
poultrymen, truck growers and stock
men are buying and settling in this
tract in such large numbers that twice
each month special Pullman car,
and frequently two cars are required
for their accommodation.
