A Comparison

"The beet sugar industry of Mich
igan has had tremendous growth.
The quantity of beets used in the
several large beet sugar factories
within the state increased from 205,-
925 tons in. 1899 to $4,000 tons in
1909. Products in 1909 was $9,756,-
SGT. The total value of all other
products, including granulated sugar
the total value of graduated sugar,
molasses, syrup, pulp, and other by
products of the industry, was $10,-
476,876 as against 1,6O0,2 66, ten
years previous. The last census of
the United States show Michigan in
1909 as ranking third with all other
states in the union in the beet sugar
industry. The latest available fig
ures indicate that the state has tax
en- second place
The reader again will take note
that this industry, including the in
come, will not reach the value of the
production Of eggs. We shall quote
figures from the booklet in regard
to the value of livestock and produc-
ton from the same. The dairy cows
were valued at $29,312,252. They
produced SIC, 727 ,53S; bees were val
ued at $446,464 and produced $780,
TAP.
Now go back to the paragraph on
poultry and read: "The total num-
Der of fowls raised in the state in
1909, including cities, towns and vii
lagos, amount to 12,877,537 head,
valued at $6,191 ,440, and the total
valuation of poultry on farms only
amount to $5,610,958.
Dear reader, can you grasp from
above figures, what the few dollars
invested into the poultry business in
our state produced? Can you inn
agine that with so little investment
to our citizens as poultry raising re-
quires and with immediate results,
that it is profitable for your state to
make an agricultural appropriation
from year to year ana give the poul-
try industry about the smallest part
of this appropriation? How many
business men would not say this is
business principle? But few, and
none, if they would investigate. They
would all be in favor of it, as it
would be good business judgment to
make the investment. Put the labor
where it would produce the most for
amount invested.
In five years previous to 1909 the
same amount had been expended for
poultry interests that was spent on
horticultural interests what would
the result have shown in this COM
parison? 1t would be marvellous.
We contend the natural conditions
of this state, so adapted to poultry
raising, would make it one of the
foremost states in the union.
Why wait? Let US be up and do
ing. Let US as poultrymen sound
the glad tidings of prosperity and
opportunity until it reaches the ears
and heart of every man that acts in
an official capacity for our state.
Then justice will be melted out to
this great industry. A State Poultry
Board will be elected and an appro-
priation made for the industry, to be
used to help make it greater and
more valuable to the citizens of this
great state.
Let us not give up, but work, work
work, until we win our cause that
will make us blessed in future years
for our work.

We have before us booklet en-
titled Michigan" published by Au-
gustus c. Carton, commissioner Of
immigration and public domain com
missioner of Michigan. The booklet
contains information on agricultural,
horticultural and industrial advan-
tages of this great state.
We find one paragraph in the en-
tire booklet of nearly 200 pages de-
voted to poultry. The paragraph
follows in full:
"The number of farms in Michi-
gan in 1910 reporting poultry,
amounted to 91.5 per cent, with to-
tai valuations of $5,610,958. This
sum, representing values Of stocks
only on farms, amounts to over half
the total valuations Of sheep or
swine, and represents very valu-
able asset, as the returns from the
farm poultry flock are almost clear
gain throughout the year, procuring
living largely from what would
otherwise be waste material. The to-
tai number of fowls raised in the
state in 1909, including cities, towns
and villages, was 12,877,537 head,
valued at $6,191 ,440. The egg pro-
duction for 1909 was 59,915,851 doz-
ems worth $11,734,799. There is no
section of Michigan where the right
kind of poultry cannot be made to
produce profitably."
We call the readers attention to
the fact that in 1909 the value of
the poultry and eggs amounted to
$17,926,23 The author in the above
statement says, "91.5 per cent of
farms reported poultry, with a total
valuation of $5,610,958." These fig
ures only represent valuation on
farms, which is over half the total
valuation of sheep and swine for the
year, and does not include revenue
from eggs.
Michigan is considered a natural
fruit country and much stress has
been made as to this great industry.
Organizations have been boosting
this industry and thousands upon
thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended by state and public in gen
eral to make greater industry and
boost this state and her horticultural
interests. From this same booklet
we print a paragraph from the hor-
ticultural department, which reads:
"The horticultural interests of
Michigan have long given the state
a position of national Importance in
this line of production. In 1910
Michigan ranked eleventh in total
number of fruit trees of bearing age,
the number being 12,842,827; the
products of 1909 amounted to TO-
220,104 bushels, rating third, with
total valuation for the year of &c.
O2O,842, also rating third in this re-
spect.
The reader will note that the en-
tire production from apples, peaches,
pears, plums, cherries and grapes
for 1909 did not reach the value of
the production of eggs by $2,713,957.

DEATH o. u. S. CITIZEN
MAJ RAISE AN ISSUE
LIkel to involve America in
Complications With German
Government.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Much
concern was shown in administration
circles TO-DAY over reports from Lon
don that Leon Chester Thrasher, an
American mining engineer, was
among those who went down when
the steamer Falaba was sunk by a
German submarine. Official word
from Am bassador Page was awaited
anXiOusly. for il was believed that II
the report be true, complications with
Germany may develop.
Diplomats generally were of the
opinion that the case would come di-
rectly within the warning sent to Ger
many by the american government
when the kaiser announced his war
zone decree. This note. which was
made public Feb. II, informed Ger
many that the United States would
hold the government To strict account
should any American lives be lost
through the acts of her naval COM
manderS.
The notice was interpreted by inter-
national experts TO apply to Americans
on British or French ships as well as
those sailing under the American flag,
and it is believed here that the admin
istration will be compelled to raise
the issue with Germany upon receipt
of official confirmation of the death
Of Thrashre.
Thrasher carried an American pass
port issued TO him on June 1, 1911,
I'm which his home address was given
as Hardwick. Mass.

French Ministry of Marine Re-
ports Combat Off Dieppe
on Tuesday.

PARIS, March 31.-A German sub
marine was attacked by French
warship off Dieppe Tuesday afternoon
and is believed TO have been destroy
ed.
The French vessel pursued the sub
marine. shelled its periscOpe when it
submerged itself and passed directly
above the spot where the submarine
had gone down. The belief that the
submarine was destroyed is due to
the fact that upon the surface OF the
water where ii disappeared a large
sheet of oil appeared.
The following official statement was
issued at the ministry OF marine today:
In the afternoon Of March 30 a
warship Of the fiOtilla of the second
light French squadron perceived a
German submarine navigating on the
surface off Dieppe. The warship pur-
sued the submarine and forced il TO
submerge. Then il bombarded the
periscOpe and maneuvered 10 ap-

The warship passed above the sub
