AILEGAN'S FARM
AGENT VALUABLE
His Work 10 Converting Strongest
Opponent to County Farm Bureau

His Work 10 Converting Strongest
Opponent to County Farm Bureau
There is no doubt at all that the ser.
vices Of Charles B. Cook, county agent
in Allegan county during the past two
years, have been worth $4,000 to the
county as was recently stated in the
Fruit Belt, published in Grand Rapids.
The increased acreage in alfalfa and
vetch amounts alone to that much. A
western county recently estimated that
the services of their county agent, do
ing the same as ours, was worth $410,-
600. The worth of the agricultural
activity in Allegan county during the
past four years, as estimated in dollars
by very we'll qualified Allegan man
and practical farmer is sum 80 large
that at first thought 1t seems impossible,
but ones impression changes when
actual results are shown. Why, some
of the most obstinate opponents and
critics of the county farm bureau are
now becoming interested. They aye
actually doing little work along sug-
gested lines and like it. The farm
bureau is surely coming to be appre.
cisted. Mr.. Cook always has BEEN

This Phase Of Up-to-OAte Farm Life.

At the luncheon of the Owosso I'm
provement Association on Tuesday noon
next, DIR. Mumford of the Agricultural
College. and F. H. Williams Of Allegan,
are to be guests of honor, the first on
the invitation of the Association and
the latter on that of the Bankers Club
of the county which is to meet !, this
city on that day DIR. Mumford rep
resents the U. s. Department of Agri-
culture as well as the Michigan Agri-
cultural College and has in charge the
work connected with the movement to
secure an agricultural advisors for the
counties in Michigan which may wish
to take advantage of the government
offer of aid. The question as to whether
Shiawassee county should get in line
with the progressive counties through
out the country which have had the
benefit to be derived from the advice
and work of an agent has now been
discussed for almost two years and the
time has come when action must be
taken or our opportunity delayed year
or possibly longer. At first many of
our farmer friends were opposed to the
expenditure of any county money for
this purpose but as the results of the
work are understood decided change
in their position is noted and at various
gatherings during the past few weeks
resolutions have been passed almost
unanim 'usly requesting the assignment
of an agent to the county and asking
the supervisors to make an appropria-
tion therefor.
Mr.. Williams, who is one of the lead
ers in this movement in Michigan and
through whose influence the bankers of
Allegan county financed the work for
two years. will tell of the results brought
about in his county and Of the change
of sentiment and the appreciation now
felt for the work of Chas. B. Cook Of
this county, who has been so successful
as the agent. DR.. Mumford will ex-
plain how Shiawassee can secure an
agent, the expense, etc.

Will Arbitrate.

At the time the American Malleables
Go. decided to locate its plant in Owos.
so, the Improvement Association agreed
to make the necessary arrangements to
permit the construction of q railway
sidetrack along Howard street to the
plant and the committee in charge sup.
posed at the time that everything was
arranged to that end. Later on it de.
veloped that the tracks could not be
built where first planned rs the three
railroads could not get to them to use
the same jointly. Changing the route
made 1t necessary te pass very closely
to property owned by l.. G. Hall who
maintained that his property would be
damaged and asked to be paid for the
same. No agreement having been
arrived at, Mr.. Hall suggested arbitra-
tion and the Improvement Association
voted Tuesday to become responsible
for whatever sum. II any. which might
be agreed upon by two arbitrators.
The Association named U. l.. Sprague
and Mr.. Hall appointed w. E. Hall. If
they cannot agree third man will be
chosen by them to act.
The American Malleables Co. is very
anxious to have the siding built at once
and the Ann Arbor is already to begin
the work as soon as an understanding
Is arrived at. The City Commission
has given its permission to occupy the
street providing the city is not involved.
