been given a harder rap.
III 1902, for instance, a championship
team on the Pacific coast was maintain
ed on a salary list of $1,000 The salary
limit in the Michigan State League-a
much less pretentious organization = is
now fixed at $1,000. In maintaining this
limit the league finds it practically i'm
possible to sign players. 1t was an open
secret that last years teams ran well
over this limit. crowdins the cost of a
pennant winning San Francisco club a
dozen years ago. For the same that
showed a one-thousand-siX-hu hundred dol

was over $1,000 month.
In details like uniforms. travelling ex-
penses, etc. the minors have been hit
harder than the big fellows. Uniforms
and similar materials have gone up with
the general cost and this naturally hits
the teams making the least money the
hardest. In the item of travelling ex-
penses. the players demand-and get
much better accommodation at greatly
increased cost over that of the old days.

the Department of Agriculture of the
Central State Normal has distributed
walnut seedlings for several years
through the schools. We have distrib.
uted several thousand and wish to
send out as many more this year, the
parcel post affording an ideal way tor
distribution.
Many are interested in knowing how
the seedlings are grown. The seeds
ripening year ago, are kept through
the winter in a moist place and planted
in the spring, much the same as you
would plant potatoes.
The seeds terminate quickly and
grow to about one and enc half feet in
height that season and are ready for
distribution that fall or the next spring.
Many develop a large tap root and
should be transplanted to a permanent
place after years growth

half cents for each Seeding to cover the
actual cost and the postage. As long
as our supply lasts, we will send to
each teacher in Michigan, who orders
the trees early one Seeding for each
family represented. The seedlings, OF
young walnut trees, are about two and
one half feet in length and will grow
well if placed in good soil and given
the ordinary care A sheet of direc
tions for transplanting is given with
each Seeding Cash should be for
warded with the order and the trees
will be sent about Arbor day.
