Extension Work at NJ. A. c.

For years there has been a grow
ing sentiment in favor of increased
agricultural extension work by the
Michigan Agricultural College. This
sentiment has been greatly increased
by the passage of the Smith-Lever
bill by the federal government. Under
this United States law each state of
the union receives a certain fixed APP
preparation each year for extension
work and an additional appropriation
is available for each state conditioned
upon said state raising an equal
amount. The demands for extension
work are taxing the college, and the
president and board Of agriculture are
anxious to encourage this demand to
the limit of their resources. The
Grange, therefore, is urging sufficient
appropriations for this particular
phase of the college work that has al
ready been too long delayed in spite
Of widespread demand.

A Bank Deposit Guarantee Law.

Believing that the time has come
when the people of Michigan should
consider carefully and thoughtfully
the advantages to be gained by hav-

the principle of the law and author
lied the executive committee to give
the matter careful study and support
q measure that would be suited to
Michigan needs. Rep. Wolcott of Cal
houn, has introduced the bill and its
passage will be urged The law pos
sesses many advantages for the
banks, their directors and stockhold-
ers, and certainly will be cordially
welcomed by the 100000 depositors in

est charges-the Grange is recon-
mending an amendment to the pres

back in their campaign to eradicate
the plague, but is considered to be by
no means as serious a matter as if
the disease had broken out in stock
held on the farms. All the cattle af-
fected were destined for immediate
slaughter at various points. No stock
ers or feeders were included among
them. The infection therefore has
been laid over a trail that runs in
straight easily-traced lines from city
to city. The stamping out of it is
principally a matter of disinfecting
all cars used in these shipments and
all yards through which they have
passed. On the other hand when the
disease first broke out last fall it was
spread over the country by large
number of shipments of stockers and
feeders which were distributed more
or less broadcast to the farms in
many states. To trace each one Of
the animals in these shipments to its
ultimate destination was a task of
much greater magnitude than the au-
thorities now face.

opinion of the federal authorities, en-
phasizes the necessity Of adhering for

slaughter in territory where there is
reason to suspect the existence of the
disease, purchase at their own risk,
and there is no reason why the gov
eminent should insure them against
the possibility of loss. For the gov
eminent to do this would be in fact to
put premium upon the reckless buy
ing of suspected animals and make
the task of ultimately Graduating the
disease much harder. Inspectors have
also been warned against the POSSIBLE
ity that stock ostensibly intended for
immediate slaughter might be divert
ed for sale as feeders and stockers,
and they have been instructed to see
that all such stock is slaughtered

Torrens System of Land Transfers.
This bill, which has been drawn by
one of the ablest attorneys of the
state, is definite piece of construct
i've legislative work initiated by the
Grange and championed by it for
many years. 1t provides for deter
mination, certifcation and registra-
ton of land titles through court pro-
cedure and is designed to simplify
and lessen the rapidly increasing ex-
pense of making land transfers. The
law has the backing of those most IA
miliar with real estate conditions in
our large cities; of practically the en-
tire membership of the Grange and
is pronounced a practicable, workable
and necessary law by leading profess
sors of the Law Department of the
University of Michigan. If enacted
into law its provisions become option
al rather than mandatory except in
special cases and therefore well suit
ed to the widely differing conditions
of land titles in Michigan. The bill
has been introduced by Rep. Moore of
Lenawee.

to the Primary Election
Law,

Reiterating its oft repeated asser-
tions in favor of the principles of a
primary election law, the Grange
stands quarely opposed to any amend
ment that proposes or permits a re-
turn to the practices of the caucus
system. 1t favors the largest, freest
expression of individual opinion and
choice within party lines and believes
that the present law should be so
changed as TO substitute separate
party ballots in place of the blanket
ballot now in use at our primaries.
Recent experiences in the old fash
toned caucus methods of choosing del
egates in two of the largest cities of
the state give new force to the de-
mand for thoroughgoing action in ex-
tending the primary principle to the
selection Of all delegates to such few
state conventions as may be neces-
sary.

OPPORTUNITY BEST
IN MICHIGAN
J. w. Fisher, Jr., Has Made Study OH
Apple Industry and Says
Michigan Best.

Traverse City-Every season addi
tional testimonials regarding the mer-
it's of the Michigan apple are secured.
One Of the latest of these is from
J. w. Fisher, Jr., who has recently
made an exhaustive study of the apple
industry as regards Michigan. He
has expressed himself as follows:
an the past three years the writer
has visited nearly every important
apple producing section in the coun-
try in search of one perfect orchard
section in the United States. He is
frank to confess that he has not
found the section which meets every
requirement, but his travels have con-
WINGED him firmly of one fact. TAX
ing every phase of the commercial
orcharding question into considera-
ton, Michigan offers as many, if not
more, opportunities to the young man
with certain amount of capital, than
any other district i'm the United
States. Do not misunderstood this
statement. This is made after taking
into consideration "every phase of the
commercial apple orcharding ques-
ton" Some districts may surpass
Michigan in one point, some in anoth-
er, but when every phase is considered
and the final judgment given, Michi-
gan will hold her own with any state"

some time longer to the quarantined
regulations that prohibit the shipment
of any stock from the quarantined
area for any purpose except immediate
slaughter, and also prohibit its ship
ment at all to points in free area. If
feeders and stockers were to be sent
out from the quarantined areas there
would always be the danger of the
disease spreading once more among
the farms, and the country being
thrown back in the condition that it
was in October.
The government also holds that cat
tie purchased for slaughter and found
to be affected with foot-and-mouth
disease shall not be paid for but may
be condemned under the federal meat
inspection law like any other diseased
