COST MORE TO MAKE
4 DOCTOR THAN ANY
OTHER PROFESSION IN STATE

Ann Arbor-lt costs more money
to make a doctor today than it ever
did before in the history of the world
The public itself is to- blame, for
it demands not only almost super
natural ability in a physician, but II
also demands that he be cultured, as
well as skilled in medical and surgl-
cal science. However, it must be ad-
mitted that the public is benefited,
even if it does cost an additional
amount each year to turn out doc
tor.
The most expensive department in
the university is the department OF
medicine and surgery, and it's one OF
the smaller departments. 1t is in this
department that the cost exceeds
many times the income of the de-
partment. According to figures just
secured ny Secretary Smith for the
Carnegie Foundation, il cost the med
ical department of the University of
Michigan just $129,953.04 to educate
1856 would be physicians for the year
1913. 1914. In the same length of
time it cost the Homeopathic depart
mcnt Sl9,924.45 for its 7S students.
The students Of the medical depart
ment paid, during that year, in tuition
and laboratory fees, S38,l0S, while
the Homcopaths paid for the same
purpose and time, S4,7O0.
The work in the first two years OF
each school is the same and is given
by the same faculty and at the same
time.

FARM PRODUCE BRINGS
EXTRA GOOD PRICES

Washington - Although prelimin-
AIRY estimates of crop production this
year indicate that the aggregate per
acre yields Of all crops will be about
9.4 per cent larger than last years
yield and about 2.3 per cent larger
than their 10-year average they will
be smaller by nearly 3 per cent than
the 1912 record yields according to
the department of agriculture today
The total production of corn this
year. it is estimated will be about 1916
per cent larger than that of last year;
the wheat crop 1913 per cent; oats
1.66 per cent; barley 1913 per cent;
buckwheat 23.l per cent; potatoes
22.6 per cent; hay Z per cent, and
sugar beets per cent smaller.
Notwithstanding increased produc-
tion prices which producers are re-
ceiving for grain crops are somewhat
higher than received from last years
crops. There has been, however, a
decline in the prices received for ap.
plies and potatoes.

4 decrease in immigration during
the war and then tremendous inrusf
of men. women and children from the
war-ridden, devastated countries OF
Europe is the view which government
officials take of the immigrant situa'
ton during and after hostilities ir
Europe.
Anthony Caminetti, commissioner
general of immigration, when asked
how the war would affect the in
flux of Europeans to this country
said that he believed that immigra-
ton, which has averaged 10000 a
month, would fall off greatly during
the war. The war will cause bust
ness depression in Europe, he believes,
and, as times will be hard, many will
emigrate to this country when they
are relieved of military service.
The commissioner general also
pointed out that many foreigners will
return to their native countries If
they can, and they may be expected
to return at the end of hositilities
Though he expects increased imml-
grafton, he is not sure that the tide
will exceed that of several years since
1900.
Il am not sure" said Caminetti,
whether, after the war, the volume
Of immigration will be greater than
that Of the six banner years since
1900. Since 1920, when this country
began to make immigration records,
there have been just six years when
the number of immigrants passing
through our ports exceeded 100000.
AS is generally known, 1907 was
the banner year, and the fiscal year
which has just closed was the next
highest. In 1907 there were 1885,
$40 aliens who were admitted. Last
year the number of immigrants adj
nitted exceeded 1,21S,000. The other
years when immigration ranged from
100000 to $4,000 were 1905, 1906,
$40 and 1913.
II estimate that the ships last year
could have accommodated 33 per cent
more immigrants than were admitted
TO this country. | do not know that
even with a quickened flow of people
10 our ports, however, at the end of
he war that immigration will reach
the maximum. The resumption of
commerce and agriculture in Europe
may mean an increased demand for
laborers, which will keep great
number of people at home who other

MICHIGAN MAY HAVE
NEW INDUSTRY FOR STATE
Saginaw Man Discovers Secret By
Experimenting.

Lansing-Through the efforts of
the public domain commission Michi-
gan may soon have new industry
that will rival the sugar beet or any
of the present industries.
Michigan now operates at Belding
one of the largest silk mills in the
country, yet the product from which
the silk is manufactured has to be
brought into the state.
Whether Sidney Smith Boyce of
Saginaw has discovered the secret
that will give to Michigan the chance
to grow its own product for the man
ufacture of silk is the question which
A. G.. Carton of the public domain
commission is trying to answer.
Mr.. Boyce says he is too far along
in years to carry out the work of
conducting experiments that he has
been years at, but desires that some
one take up the work.

Foot and Mouth Disease Brings to the
Front Pretended Inspectors and
Peddlers of Quack
Remedies.

Washington, ID. C.-Reports are
now beginning to come in to the De-
partment of Agriculture from several
)oAthe states quarantined for the
~ -and-mouth disease that persons
who have no connection whatsoever
with the department are attempting
to pass themselves off as federal in
spectors. There are several possible
motives that might account for the
existence of these imposters. In the
outbreak of 1908 there were instances
of men who obtained money from
credulous victims who believed that
in this way they would escape the in
convenience of quarantine and disin-
lection. This is, of course, a very
simple form of eXtortion. Another
motivesnay be the sale of some quack
remedy for the disease
Stock owners can protect them
selves very easily against this fraud,
for there is no specific remedy for
the foot-and-mouth disease. Since
the germ has never been isolated, it
has never been possible as yet to find
any Serum that would act either as
cure|or preventive, and the public may
be quite certain that any one who says
that he is an employee of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and at the same
time attempts TO sell, or even recon-
mend anything of the sort, is simply
an impostor. For this reason, stock
owners are warned not to allow stran-
gers to visit their stock or attempt
any demonstrations of so-called cures
by injections or otherwise.
There is, moreover, very great dan
ger that such people might dissem-
mate the disease. 1t is a well-known
fact that the germs can be carried on
clothing. In infected territory, there
fore, it is quite possible that a man
