COLLEGE FOR TRAVERSE CITY
Horticultural Institution to Be Next
Step In Development of Western
Michigan.

A horticultural college for Traverse
City Is to be one OF the next steps in
the development of the Western Mich
igan region. The settings of fruit
trees In the 20 counties reaching from
Ottawa to Emmett has been so great
during the past few years, and Is con-
tinuing at such a pace, that 1t is
apparent that many horticulturalists
are needed to care for the orchards in
a scientific manner. In the past il
was believed that any man who knew
the difference between an apple tree
and an oak was suffi GENTLY wise to
be in charge OF an orchard. But now
It is different. II is admitted that
successful orcharding requires men
with special training, as does the prac'
tice Of medicine and the following OF
the legal profession
Because of the heavy tree settings
these men are going to be needed in
the early future. The training of these
men must begin at once. that they may
be ready asthe new orchards come
into bearing, which will be within the
next FIVE years. At present the
larger orchard propositions are hiring
men who have been trained elsewhere.
some in the west. There is no reason
why Western Michigan, so long as it
is in the developing business, should
not develop horticulturists as we'll as
orchards.
Last fall the proposition OF a coun-
ty agricultural school was laid before
the supervisors of Grand Traverse
county, which board appointed COM
mittee with instructions to report at
the annual meeting to be held the CON-
ing October In the meantime the
subject is being discussed by the farm.

ments. He has had the plans drawn
for a college building, has also picked
out the land that will become the ex-
pertinent farm, and has in mind some
of the men who will be engaged as
instructors AS the present demand
for trained fruit growers is greater
than the supply, attention will prac-
tically be given to horticultural sub
jects during the early years of the
institution. AS the need of scientists
in other lines of the agricultural indus
try becomes more pronounced, courses
of study will be added so that In time
the lsrge-scale farmers of the region
can turn to this college for such ex-
perts as may be needed to properly
carry forward the various PROPOSE
tions.

A HORSE GOES ON A STRIKE
Ingenious Tricks of a Former Polo

they battle veterinary surgeons. After
completing a vacation OF three weeks
she pulled the light delivery wagon
willingly until she was about to be
taken over the route again in the
evening, when she lay down on the
ground and groaned.
A veterinary worked with the ami.
nal two hours, took her temperature
and looked for symptoms of various
ailments, but found none. He de-
clared Nellie was "stalling," but she
refused to get up. Several spectators
then helped roll the horse down a
small embankment.
This aroused Nellie's anger and she
jumped up and kicked her heels about
the barn lot. Her owner, William
Schoepker a grocer, announced that
Nellie's vacation will not be extended
Nellie was once a polo pony. One
of her specialties has been to pretend
to be lame in order to get a holiday

limp was in the left hind foot and
occasionally 1t shifted to the right
