Nickel, state inspector and deputy

both OF the state dairy and food
department. have just concluded
their official inspection OF the con-
Wet canning plant as to sanitation

Mr. Nickel has in the course OF
his work visited great number Of
canning plants and has much
knowledge concerning the produc.
ton OF canned goods and has a repu-
tation Of being a relentless fighter
against violation OF the state food
laws. He has uncovered unsanitary
conditions In several parts OF the
state which people would hardly be-
lieve could exist.
In an interview concerning his
work. Mr.. Nickel said that he found
that state institutions were ahead
OF the independent canning plants in
the state due largely TO the more
sanitary conditions existing there.
He said that sanitation was the

Another statement made was that

FARM PLANS OF
CITY INTEREST

MUSHROOM, Mich, March g.
Louis p. Haight is working upon
plan for utilizing 500 acres OF light
soil lands located near this city. He
already has a large experiment farm
that he has been operating for y
number OF years and upon which he
had performed experiments that
have given forth information that Is
OF great value to the farmers OF
this part OF the state. His expert
ments have been directed especially
along the line OF discovering what
kind of treatment the light soil
lands should have in order that they
might pay interest upon the invest
ment besides returning a living to
the man and his family occupying
the same. At considerable expense
exhibits have been made illustrating
the facts which Mr.. Haight has
demonstrated to his complete salts
faction. He now wishes to extend
his experiments so as to discover
the fertilizing values OF certain city
wastes. He also desires to try out
the plan OF testing the vacation
farm idea. He proposes to set aside
portion of his farm upon which
men who are temporarily unem-
ployed may work, small cottages be
ing set up for them to occupy while
they arc discovering II they are well
suited for the agricultural life or
not. Mr.. Haight is OF the opinion
that men should not be urged -
enter farming unless they are fitted
for this occupation and he thinks
that by means OF his vacation farm
they can discover the extent OF their
desire for the soil.
Mr.. Haight also has In mind the
training OF men. that they may be
fitted as farm laborers. He Is sure
that the trained man Is more valu-
able than the unframed. and he be-
lleves that systematic training under
the direction OF competent super
intendent Is more desirable than
hap-hazard training.

being held at schoolhouses, grange
halls, town halls. and other public
places. for the purpose OF consider
ing the needs and merits OF co-opera-
tive buying and selling. particularly
as applied to the agricultural indus
try. Attention has been called to
the fact that already the farmers
know how to cooperate AZ regards
road building. schools. telephone
lines, mail service. churches. ETC..
and that the time has arrived to en-
tend the principle to buying and
selling.
The amount Of interest In cooper.
alton is well illustrated by the large
number OF Inquiries that have come
In since the organization OF the
Grand Traverse Fruit exchange.
From the letters It is apparent that
many people have been thinking
along similar lines. and that the de-
side for cooperation Is much more
prevalent than has been generally
supposed. Since the organization OF
the Grand Traverse exchange. three
smaller associations modelled along
similar lines have come into exis-
tence and are getting machinery
perfected for the purpose Of taking
care OF the farmers in their several
ncighborhoods.
