GREATER PROSPERITY FOR
MICHIGAN FARMERS ASSURED
European War Will Boost Price of
Wheat and Michigan Farmers
Will Profit at Least $4,000.

East Observation-Disclosures at the
Michigan Agricultural college figure
that the Austro-Servian war will fat
ten the pocketbooks of Michigan
farmers by at least $4,000. The
money will come from the increased
price offered for wheat as result of
the European outbreak.
Wheat for September delivery
jumped 61a cents a bushel following
the declaration of war between Aus
tria and Servia, and on an estimated
Michigan production of 100000
bushels this increase will net Michi-
gan farmers approximately $4,000.
The boost in wheat, the college crop
experts say, was due to the fact that
the Austrian and Servian crops will
be prevented from reaching the world
market if the European war con-
tinues.

Development Bureau
Securing Finest Display
Of Farm Products

Traverse City.-A much larger and
more elaborate display of farm pro-
ducts in glass is being prepared by
the Western Michigan Development
Bureau this year than has been the
case in former seasons. Heretofore
the efforts of the chemists have been
largely confined to the processing of
fruits, particularly strawberries, cher
ries, plums, peaches and grapes. This
year, however, an effort is being made
to increase the number of different
fruits put in glass, and also to pro-
cess certain vegetables which make
a nice appearance, when preserved.
Already several jars have been filled
with samples of large string beans,
also samples of peas in the pod. These
specimens are being saved that the
prospective settler may see exactly
what these crops will do on Western
Michigan soil and with Western Mich
igan climate. AS has always been the
case, the great problem is that of
preserving the natural colors of the
fruits and vegetables. Little difficulty
is experienced in finding chemicals
that will preserve vegetable tissue,

afternoon, two or three days each
week. The sessions are not held every
day, so that the members will have
time to attend to their farm duties in
between the sessions, as well as be-
fore and after the instruction period.
The classes meet commonly at the
most convenient farmhouse. During
the morning hours, textbook work is
done. In the afternoon laboratory
work is conducted, and the women
who have elected to take the domestic
science courses have practical lessons
in cooking.
As soon as a class IS established,
the State organizer withdraws to
start a class in some other district.
The work thereafter is left in charge
of the leader, who receives assistance
by mail from the college or the De-
partment in carrying on the work.
AS there is no regularly paid in
structor, classes can be carried on all
over the State as rapidly as the col
lege organizer can visit the groups,
and as quickly as the laboratory sets
supplied by the college become avail
able. The local leader will preside
during the reading of the lectures and
references, for which full texts and
lantern slides are supplied by the De-
partment. He will also be responsible
for the laboratory equipment Every
one who completes the course will re-
ceive a certificate from the State Col
lege.
Not all of the States have yet
agreed to cooperate in this plan. Last
winter experiments along these lines
were carried out successfully in Penn
sylvania, and this has stimulated an
interest in the method of other States.
In one of the Pennsylvania classes
more men applied than could be ac-
commodated, and all of the 20 men
and Is women who began the course
completed it. Pennsylvania is now ar
ranging for more classes, while Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Vermont and
Florida expect to take up the work.
Other States such as Maine, New
York, New Jersey, and Delaware, have
signified their willingness to cooper
ate.
Ordinarily a college in a State us
ually applies to the Department seek
ing its cooperation, when sufficient
interest has been shown in the plan in
several communities where ten or
more people have sought the instruc-
ton. For financial reasons, certain
colleges are not so able to engage in
the work as are others.
The advantage claimed for the new
home courses with local leaders and
laboratory equipment over the ordi-
nary correspondence courses is that
only small percentage of those who
take the individual correspondence
course finish it. Studying in a group,
with laboratory work and a leader,
seems to stimulate the interest and
add a social feature which lead the
members of the group to follow the
work conscientiously and complete it..
Experiments with free correspondence
courses show that while many individ-
uals gain advantage from them, many
others, because the material is fur
nished free, do not feel the same OBJ
legation to complete them as they do
when they pay substantial sum of
money for the instruction.
