LAnsing.-Governor Ferris appeared
before the state board of health al
their meeting In Lansing and gave
them plain talk on health laws and
intimated very strongly that laws
passed BY the last session OF the leg.
'islature relative to "quack" doctors
and their practises should be better
enforced.
Fake medical cures were also dis.
!cussed by the governor.
For some time the governor has
been studying the laws passed by the
last session as applying to the state
board Of health. and one reason Of his
coming to Lansing was to urge the
state board to see they were enforced.
The Grand Rapids milk commission
and its work will be investigated by
the state board, vote to that effect
being taken and the secretary of the
board was instructed to confer with
the prosecuting attorney of Kent coun-
'ty. It appears that there Is some
question as to the legality of the APP
pointment OF the members of the
Furniture City's commission and It is
alleged that they have placed their
o. X. on milk without first having
made an inspection such as is re-
CURED by the law passed at the last
session OF the legislature.
The state board also went on rec
ord as favoring a milk commission
for every city and will do what II can
to further the efforts Of cities that
are planning to make, such appoint
ments.
A moro strenuous tight against tu-
berculosis will be waged by the state
board than. ever before II. plans a.
adopted are carried out. The press
of the state was paid q fiatteri9g trib-
ute by the board for activity In assist
ing to stamp out tuberculosis.
Farmhands Found by state.
A. c. Carton Of the public domain
commission. finds that the farmers of
Michigan appreciate the efforts of the
public domain commission In assist
ing them to obtain desirable farm la
borers and the new plan inaugurated
by him and Chairman Frederick C.
Martindale several months ago, is
working out in q most satisfactory
manner.
Secretary Carton Is writing farmers
that the public domain and immigra-
tion commissions are desirous of as
sisting them in procuring farm labor
ers and have a special representative
in New York for the purpose of d.
recting desirable immigrants from tho
rural districts Of Europe to the farms
of Michigan.
Our great Industrial activities In
the cities during the last two decades
have made heavy drafts upon the
rural districts and the drift of labor
has been from the country towards the
cities" says the letter. This has left
the rural districts without sufficient la
Dor and the consumers have increased
out of proportion to the producers,
providing the main reason for the high
cost of living.
with all the talk about the farm
er's great prosperity, am thoroughly
convinced that the farmer, even with
the present prices, is not making any
more money. or as much as he should.
i also am convinced that 1t costs tho
farmer 80 per cent more to produce
an article than 1t did Is years ago.
Any movement to reduce the high. or
check the higher, cost Of living ut the
expense Of the producer. will be q
blow at the root of the whole indus
trial situation of this country. Add
tional farm labor win mean additional
There arc about $4,000 farms In
Michigan. half Of which hire help.
This would make $4,000 farms In the
state upon which help II needed. The
best statistics available show that
there 10 only about one-half enough
farm labor obtainable in this country,
and II this is true we can use $4,000
good. honest. industrious farm labor
srs."
