LAND COMMISSIONERS
WOULD USE PRISONERS
TO CLEAR LAND.
Has Plan to Clear Land and Resell
to Settlers-May Ask for
APPROXIMATIONS.

Lansing-The board of trustees Of
the Michigan state prison has asked
Secretary Carton of the public do
main commission TO attend their
meeting at Jackson Friday to discuss
the advisability of putting convicts on
state lands.
Secretary Carton says that the
state owns no land which he would
recommend for agricultural purposes,
but he has a plan which he will pre-
sent TO the prison board.
This is, in effect, that the legisla-
ture be asked TO appropriate $4,000
or 100000 for the purchase of large
tracts of land in the Upper Peninsula,
which would be, when cleared, excel
lent for farming, and which can be
bought for few dollars an acre. Then
he would have prisoners placed on
these wild lands to clear them, and
when cleared sell them to settlers. In
this way the state would get its
money back and could reinvest it in
the same way; the value of land in the
vicinity of tracts thus cleared would
be enhanced; the agricultural area of
the state increased and the problem
of what to do with the states convicts
without working them on the roads in
settled communities or bringing them
into competition with free labor
solved.

recommends the following method Of
putting up peaches and apples with
out any sugar for those who find their
local sugar prices prohibitive for can
ming:
Canning Peaches Without Sugar.
IF the price Of sugar is prohibitive
one may can peaches so that they will
keep indefinitely by using plain water
instead Of syrup. The following rec
ipe may be used;
Remove skin from peaches by i'm
mersing in boiling water for about
one minute and then dipping i'm cold
water. Place whole peaches in glass
jars or tins and fill jars with hot
water. Place rubber and top in place
and sterilize for Is minutes in hot
water bath outfits, II minutes in
water seal, 10 minutes at pounds
steam pressure or 5 minutes at 10
pounds steam pressure.
"Of course the peaches when re-
moved from the jar will not taste so
sweet as those canned in syrup. How
ever, if sweetening is desired it may
be added when the fruit is to be eaten.
This same method is good for can
nnG with SNrupS containing varying
amounts of sugar. A very thin syrup
may be used if the housewife does not
wish to dispense entirely with the
sugar.
Apples may also be canned (for
applesauce, pie filling, etc., using
plain water instead of sugar syrup.
Department specialists have repeated
ly canned them by this method. In
the case Of apples, jars should be ster-
ilized Is minutes in hot-water- bath
outfits, y minutes in water-seal, 10
minutes under pounds of steam and
minutes under 10 pounds of steam"
The Department, therefore, advises
housewives to consider carefully the
total cost of preserving, with sugar
high and fruit low, before determin-
ing to wait or not to put up their
usual pantry supply.

LOW PRICES OF FRUIT MAKE
PRESERVING PROFITABLE
EVEN WITH HIGH SUGAR.
Department of Agriculture Gives
Methods of Canning With No
Sugar and With Thin
SVrupS.

Washington, u. marketing spe-
cialists of the Department of Agricul-
ture who have been following the fruit
situation call attention to the fact
that in almost all wholesale markets
peaches for canning and preserving
are very bountiful and are being sold
at prices advantageous for canning
in spite of the increased price of
sugar. While the peach crop has been
somewhat short in some sections,
heavy crops from other states have
been shipped in and have tended to
keep prices at figure which encOur-
ages canning. Later, after the height
of the crop movement, prices for fruit
have tendency to rise. Retailers are
urged to enable their customers to OBJ
tain fruit for canning at prices COM
mensurate with the present low
wholesale price.
A great many housewives are now
being deferred from canning and pre-
serving their usual supply because
of the increase in the price of sugar.
There is no indication, however, that
the price, of sugar will fall materially
during the present fruit season. 1t is
estimated, though, that with peaches
at their present prices the combina-
ton Of peaches and sugar necessary
for preserving will not make a prohih-
tive total cost. Moreover, there are
successful methods of canning fruit
which call for much less sugar than
that usually employed in this process
by home preservers. The Department

European War May
Effect rliChigan Beets
BY Seed Shortage 1915

East Observation-Disclosures sugar
beet crop for 1915 has been placed
in jeopardy by the European war,
which has practically cut off Ameri-
cas- supply of sugar beet seed, ac-
cording to authorities here. This is
said to be due to the fact that while
Michigan produces approximately
100000 tons of sugar beets annually,
it has depended for its seed, in the
past, upon Germany. Reports re-
ceived here indicate that there is now
in the country only one-fourth enough
of this German seed to supply the
American growers.
What such seed shortage may
mean to Michigan sugar beet growers
in case a remedy is not found, has
been calculated. The yield of sugar
beets in Michigan in 1913 was about
100000 tons, which brought approx
mately $4,500,000 in the market
about one-ffth of the total received

Secretary of National Soil Fertility
Association Says Michigan's Crop

Lansing-H. II. Gross of Chicago,

tion can be increased fully so per cent

Grafton of the Lever law in this state
that Mr.. Gross conferred with au-
thorities at the college.
The Lever law, it will be recalled,
was the measure recently enacted by
congress providing that the govern
ment shall pay each state gradually
increasing annual appropriation, to
assist in carrying knowledge of agri-
cultural progress and newer methods
TO the farmers. 1t was also provided
however, that the state shall pay,
dollar for dollar, the same amount of
money for this as does the national
government.
at is common knowledge" declar-
ed Mr.. Gross, chat farmers in Euro
pean lands, and in the east as well,
raise crops which average from %
to 100 per cent better yields than do
those of the American farmers.
"For years, however, the American
agricultural experts have been gath
ering information which is invaluable
to the farmers. hut which up to this
time it has been difficult to place be-
fore the husbandmen. The purpose of
the Lever bill is to provide a fund
which will enable the state and coun-
ties to send out men to help the farm
ers wherever such help is desired by
them.
IF the Michigan Legislature real
ICES the value of the proposed work, it
will make an appropriation which
will keep pace with the government
appropriation for the same work. In
10 years the money required FIR this
purpose, from the state will total

Mr.. Gross offered his services to

for sugar beets in the United States
This figure will be considerably in
creased this fall by the boost given
sugar prices by the European strug-
gle.
Just what will be done to stave off
the threatened seed shortage has at
present not been determined, but it
is said about the only thing farmers
will he able TO do will be to permit
enough Of this years crop to go to
seed to enable replanting next season.
Michigan farmers heretofore, how
ever, have sold practically all of their
beets to the reineries and unless they
are warned of the seed shortage they
may unthinkingly do the same thing
this fall.
The present supply of sugar beet
seed happens to be available because
25 per cent more German seed was
imported last year than was required
for the 1914 planting.
