AGRICULTURAL EXPERT.
Will ShIawassee Accept Aid Proffered
by Government-Genesee
County in Line.

Shiawassee county has the oppor.
tunitv which many other counties are
seeking to secure the assignment of a
government agricultural expert but if
action is not taken at an early date the
apportionment of government money
set aside at the request of Congressman
Fordney for this county will be given
to some other county. The board Of
supervisors of Saginaw county at it's
session in October voted $700 for the
purpose Of securing an expert in con.
nection with this county but no action
was taken by our supervisors. 1t would
seem that the question is Of too much
Importance to be dropped without
further action.
AS will be seen by the following from
the Saginaw Courier Herald of We'd
nesday, steps are to be taken to raise
the funds needed to secure an expert
for Saginaw county:
"At an enthusiastic and legthy meet
ing of the directors of the Saginaw
Board of Trade last night, Congress-
man j. w Fordney gave an interesting
address on the extension of agriculture
in Saginaw county. He spoke of the
work of the national government and
how it is willing to assist the states
and counties in the employment of
agricultural experts to instruct and aid
the farmers. He suggested that the
board unite with the county in engag
ing such an expert and he promised
that in such case he would secure the
practical help of the agricultural de-
partment.
The proposition appeared to be gen
orally favored and as a result of his
talk it is expected that an aggressive
step in agriculture will be matured
within week. The engaging
of an expert would assist greatly in the
introduction OF scientific agriculture
and would, it is claimed, increase the
production per acre materially.

Parcels Post Plans.

Owosso is to be one of the expert
ment stations in placing under way the
parcels post system which becomes op-
erative Jan. 1. Postmaster General
Hitchcock has set aside $500 900 Of the
parcels post appropriation to be used
for the rental of automobiles and other
vehicles for use in the parcels post sys-
tenn, the 100000 being apportioned to
the 1000 post Offices of the country hav
ing city delivery on the basis of the
amount of business, the number of let
ter carriers and the population. Owosso
receives small amount from this ap.
preparation.
The postmaster general further an
nounces that after the system has been
in operation Is days, postmasters will
submit reports showing the volume Of
parcels post business and the additional
cost. together with an outline of the
plan adopted 10 handling the new busi-
ness. The instructions, which practi.
cally give the postmasters free hand
to work out the problem in their own
localities shows to what large extent
the department regards the Inaugural
of the parcels post as an experiment.
The postoffice department is con-
vinced that the parcels post is here to
stay and that the business will reach
tremendous proportions
There are at present $50 900 miles of
express routes in the country while
there are 482. 600 miles Of postal routes.
This means that there are 212 900 miles
OF route which the express companies
have found Improbable which the gov
ernment will have to cover with it's
parcels post. 1t is this feature which
more than any other makes 1t impossi-
BILE for the department to estimate the
expense of installing the parcels post
system

Does Owosso Want an Arnory?

Owosso citizens will have to wake up
and make hard fight before the state
military board if the $4,000 state ap-
preparation for the erection Of an ar
mory ls secured next year as Grand
Rapids cldlns to be entitled to the $780,
600 raised annually for the three ensu
ing years. 1t has been understood and
stated officially that Kalamazoo was
first entitled to the state money,
Owosso next ..and then Grand Rapids,
that being theiorder in which deeds for
the sites were fled with the state au-
thorities and the law provides the funds
shall be apportioned in accordance with
this filing. Grand Rapids citizens have
named committee of 100 to provide a
way in which $780, 600 can be procured
to erect large auditorium in connec
tion with the building of the armory
and the papers Of that city state that
the $50, 600 raised annually by the state
for armory purposes will come to that
city for the fiscal year 1918, 1914, 1915
If Owosso cannot maintain its claim to
a position ahead of Grand Rapids it
will be obliged to wait the apportion-
ment OF the state tax levied in the win
ter roll in December, 1915, thus delay
ing the building of the armory until
the spring of 1917. Some action regard
ing the matter should at once be taken
by the Improvement Association to see
that our big sister city does not usurp
the rights of Owosso.
