tion. Baraga farmers will be asked to
allow the amateur workmen the use OF
teams. Either the village Of Houghton

NOTHING TOO GOOD
FOR CLOVERLAND.

Speaking At Marquette last week. r.
J. Baldwin, director Of the extension
service Of the Michigan Agricultural
College, outlined the work Of the bureau
and what it intends and what it has ac-
complished.
He was followed by w. F. Raven,
extension representative Of the agri-
cultural college in the upper peninsula.
His talk, in part, was a follows:
my observations are that the upper
peninsula Of Michigan can grow as
good, or better. potatoes, oats. barley,
wheat, rye. grass and clover seed as
can be purchased elsewhere. If we
would direct some Of our efforts to
teach the farmer better methods Of Sc
lecting, grading and cleaning his seed,
we could easily increase the yields of
his crops. During the trip Of the dem
onstration car in April this year-for
the purpose Of demonstrating the value
of pure seed-we found that at least
80 per cent Of the farmers had sent out
side the state for seed grains and po-
tatoes, some paying ~ high as $6 q
bushel for q very inferior grade Of q
good variety Of potatoes. and 81 .
bushel for oats, when they had much
better seed oats in their granary, had
these oats been properly cleaned. Three
years ago the college. through Mr..
Geismar, distributed valuable oat for
this region. Last spring two men, Mr..
Wilson Of Brimley and Mr.. Mcintyre.
sold $500 bushels Of good seed oats
from that distribution. showing that q
well directed effort along the line Of q
better seed distribution is worthy of
our attention.
There is need of some plan Of better
selections of varieties of fruit for this
region. All, or nearly all, Of the var
ieties Of small fruits do well here, and
we ought to encourage the growing of
more Of them. Every farmer ought to
grow enough fruit for the needs of his
family. I am not prepared to say just
how far we should encourage the plant
ing of commercial orchards, but when
they are planted we should use every
means to have these orchards well
planted, Of suitable varieties, well cul-
tivated, pruned and sprayed. We can
all join in the effort for better agri-
cultural practices.
'The fertility Of the soil is funda-
mental. We have the advantage of
those similarly engaged in the lower
counties, as most Of our land is virgin
soil. That we may keep and add to its
fertility we should agree on some me-
thod Of crop rotation, tillage, drainage
and methods Of using farm maneres
and commercial fertilizers. The people
of this peninsula are looking to US to
direct the agriculture Of this region.
Let us 80 direct it that they may not
be sorry for our having their agricul-
turs under our direction.
''As the years 60 by, agriculture viii
be the wealth Of this region, and it will
remain the source Of wealth after the
mines are exhausted and the forests
are manufactured into goods and sold.
We are intrusted with the care Of this
great wealth, and should 80 direct iti
use that future generations may say
of US that we saw that this fertile soil
was used and not wasted"

ROGERS DIVORCE SUIT
GOES UNDEFENDED
Court Reserves Decision, but
Comments on the Sufficiency
of the Evidence.

Justice Giegerich reserved decision
Yesterday in the divorce suit Of Mrs.
Caroline Lydia Giddings Rogers against
Lorlys Elton Rogers, the lawyer who's
relations with Mrs. Ida SnifFen Walters
became public through the death of the
latter's two children from bichloride
of mercury she gave them. The court
commented on the sutficiency of the
evidence. Rogers made no defence.
Mrs. Walters is now in the Bronx
County jail awaiting trial on a charge
Of murder. Abraham Levy, counsel for
Rogers, said that Rogers confidently
expected the acquittal Of Mrs. Walters
on the ground Of temporary insanity
when the crime was committed and
that Rogers would then marry her in
another state.
Mrs. Rogers was accompanied TO
court by her brother, Professor Frank
lin II. Giddings, of Columbia Univer-
sity. She wore a heavy veil. Her tes-
timony was perfunctory, telling Of the
marriage and denying that there was
ever any condonatlon Of the acts of the
defendant. Mrs. Rogers did not ask for
alimony
