The railroad commission has de-
cided the question Of lumber rates
which has been a bone Of contention
between the shippers and the rail
roads for several months.
Within a radius of 125 miles from
Detroit the increase granted the rail-
roads amounts to one cent net over
the rate which was in effect Jan. J.,
1914. Outside of this radius the rail-
roads are allowed to charge a fat 5
per cent increase over the old rate.
This merely follows the rate in
crease granted on all commodities
and promulgated last year. The lum-
Der schedule, however, was not pro-
mulgated for the reason that the lum-
Der exchange, wanted one thing, while
those on the east, headed by the Sag
inaw Valley people, wanted another.

That the upper peninsula will ere
long become the larder from which
Michigan will get it's mutton, and
perhaps its beef, is the confident as
sertion OF w. F. Raven, M. A. c.
superintendent of extension work
north of the straits.
Mr.. Raven, just back from several
months work among farmers in the
northern country, has announced that
experiments in sheep raising conduct
ed on a number of upper peninsula
farms during the past season were
largely successful-so much so that
the adaptability of the Lake Superior
district to focks has been proved
practically beyond question.
I'VE are satisfied" said Superin-
tendent Raven, that sheep will
thrive in the upper peninsula. "The
country is ideal for sheep, which can
be raised with profit on the cut-over
land"
These lands, it might be added, are
for the most part at present lying
idle, producing not even enough to
pay the taxes. The sheep industry,
according to Mr.. Raven, will in the
very near future be marked by great
expension in the northern districts.
1t has also been demonstrated that
the upper peninsula is suited to the
raising of beef animals, and much of
the work by the NJ. A. c.. extension
men the coming year will be devoted
to assisting in the development of the
beef industry.
