Forest Fire Losses Low.

According to estimates prepared by
Deputy State Game Warden Charles
Hoyt from reports received from the
supervisors OF Michigan, the loss from
forest fires this year has not exceeded
$4,000, and unless there is serious
confiagration before the first snowfall.
the loss from forest fires for 1915 will
be the lowest in the history OF the
state
Since the disastrous fires Of 1911.
when whole villages were wiped out
with loss of life and property loss
OF $3,400.000. forest fires OF serious
proportions have not menaced the
standing timber in the northern coun-
ties of the state.
In 1908, according to the records OF
the state forestry department the loss
from fire amounted to $4,000. 900.
There is no record of the losses for
1909. but in 1910 the total was $780,.
811. The biggest loss recorded In re-
cent years was in 1911 when $3.470.-
900 worth Of property was destroyed.
In 1912 the total loss was $1,000. and
the following year. 1918. forest fires
caused damage to the extent of $23,.
900. Last year. 1914, considerable
damage was done, the total loss being
$216.S24.
This year the only fires reported
were in April, when no rain fell for
nearly three weeks in some sections
of the state. The losses early last
spring totaled $4,000 and since that
time there has not been a single fire
of any consequence reported to the
department. The heavy rains through
out the summer have been responsible
for the small loss this year. ~.

b. 4. Hallman, state pathologist and
member Of the state sanitary live

way to check hog cholera 10 to ap-
point county agricultural agents
throughout the state. During the past
few weeks the disease has renewed
its activity, 30 that It IL .dinicult to
say how bad conditions will become
before spring
Michigan nurseries and orchards are
in the best condition they have ever
been. according to Prof. l.. r. Taft Of
the Michigan Agricultural college
following an extensive trip through
the state.
The college makes practice each
year OF inspecting nursery stock dur
ing October for the protection OF the
small buyers. Everywhere ! found
that growers are taking more pains
with their stock. Spraying is becom-
ing more common, and infected trees
are being destroyed.
More than 500 farmers Institutes
will be held in Michigan next winter.
according to plans of the Michigan
Agricultural college. Announcement
of the dates OF the meetings will be
made In a few days by L. r. Taft.
state superintendent.
In addition to the customary county
Institutes, one-day institutes will be
held this season to meet the growing
demand OF farmers clubs. The farm
ers' roundup week will be held In East
Lansing the first week In March.
Interest is being shown by farme-s
in growing sweet clover, and many
calls have been received for addresses
on this topic. the institute bureau re-
ports. Calls for speakers on beef cat
tie have also been numerous.
Michigan apples will be high In
price this year because Of the heavy
frost last May" says Professor Taft.
II have been investigating conditions
in the northern part of the state and
find that the crop was practically de-
stroyed except where the orchards are
on elevations or near Lake Michigan"

state Corn HIahest In Price.

:
Michigan corn Is higher in price
this year than last. according to re-
port issued by the bureau of crop es-
timates. department of agriculture at
Washington. d. C.
The price Of Michigan oats and po-
tatoes is lower than last year
Michigan's corn crop holds an
anomalous position. The country
over, the 1915 crop is estimated as be-
ing considerably larger than in 1914,
and the average price per bushel this
year Is given at 70.5 cents against 1872
cents year ago. Michigan's crop
last year totaled 63.000.000 bushels,
and this years yield is estimated at
53.700.000 bushels, while the price last
year was rs cents against n cents
this year.
The Michigan farmer. therefore, is
getting 6.5 cents more bushel for his
corn than the average price through
out the country. Illinois. Iowa and
Missouri are credited with having the
largest corn crops.
The potato crop In Michigan has
slumped on from the estimate OF
September /. At that time the COM
puted yield was 34,500.000 bushels as
against 44.044.000 last year. The Oc-
tober report Just out cuts down the
September estimate to 23.600. 900 bush.
els, and the price quoted Is 40 cents
as against 81 cents last year. The
condition throughout the country is
much the same as In Michigan. The
grand total estimate in September
wan for q crop almost equal to last
years, but conditions during the last
month were unfavorable to the best
development OF the crop. and the Oc.
tober estimate shows q material fall.
ing on in total number OF Lushels, to.
gether with drop In average price
from 64.7 cents last year to 4S.7 cents
this year.
The oat crop has been harvested
and final figures are given for the en-
tire country--1 ,516, ,47s,0OO bushels this
year against l,141,06O.000 bushels last
year. The average price for the crop
despite the supposed increase In value
OF foodstuffs owing to the European
war, is much lower this year than last
34.6 cents bushel compared with 43.S
cents last year. Michigan's yield this
year was $4,000 bushels as against
67,762, 900 last year. The current
years price is "a against 4s cents last
year. |
