REP. FORDNEY DEFENDS BEET
SUGAR MAKERS.
Not More Than 100 Carloads Of Sugar
Unsold in Michigan.

Washington, Sept Sugar beet
manufacturers of Michigan find a cham;
pion in Congressman Joseph W. Ford
ney who protests that the insinuations
of the Department of Justice that they
had boosted prices are unfounded. A
voluntary correspondent from Michigan
wrote the Department of Justice alleg-
ing that 1877, 900 tons of Michigan beet
sugar were apparently being withheld
from the market while no beet sugar
could be purchased from the retailers.
Congressman Fordnev protests that
he is satisfied from first hand informa-
ton he has received that there not now
100 carloads of beet sugar unsold in the
whole state of Michigan out Of crop
of more than 10000 carloads. He de-
clares that the Michigan Sugar COM
pany had entirely disposed of its crop
on June /, last, and that there are alb
solutely no contracts of any kind upon
their books at this time. The German
American and the Owosso Sugar COM
panies are believed to have small
amount of sugar on hand, but the
amount is insignificant as compared
with the total crop in the state.

FARMERS PLEASED
With Work of Agricultural Advis or {k
Kent County.

From the Grand Rapids Herald
On September 16 J. HI. Skinner viii
have completed his second year az
county agricultural agent for Kent
county, and the farmers of this coun ts
are Convinced that the maintenance ds

work he had taken at school,
WAS STRONGLY OPPOSED.
The first year the county agricgl.
tural agent encountered open and
strong opposition. The farmers looked
upon him as city feller trying To
tell them how to run their business ac
cording to books" But he was urs
daunted by their coldness and keEa
hammering away at the facts that had
been proven time and again by science
and experiment. Finally change be.
came noticeable. When Mr.. Skinnet
made an appointment to speak, he
found handful of doubters who kSd
come to scoff Some of them began
needing his advice. They were at oGee
surprised and delighted to find what
he said was true.
Better crops and higher standard CT
living for the farmers resulted. TODAY
the farmers realize that the county
agricultural agent has done much ia
increase their yield, and at the same
time has shown them how to live.
They now give him hearing on every
occasion. And indications are that the
third year will be by far the best fror
the standpoint of accomplishment eve,
put in by Mr.. Skinner.
"The work is enjoyable even though
the opposition is stiff at times" said
Mr.. Skinner. Il coule probably make
as much or more money on my farm.
But this is broadening, and at the sam
time it affords opportunity to he!r
some of these men in Western MichigaS
to better their condition in life. Aut
surely that is worth something"
Now farmers call Mr.. Skinner re-
