State Road Legislation

tOOnJllueQ TOm LdSI week.
Much valuable and needed legisla-
ton was passed by the 1917 legisla-
ture.
A bill was passed amending Section
Twenty of Act number seventy-five of
pliers Section 1866 Of the Compiled
Laws of 1915. 1.-THE county road COM
missioner shall determine upon the
amount of tax which in their judg-
ment should be raised for each year
for the purpose specified and itemiz-
ed, and report the same to the board
of supervisors. Such tax shall not
exceed five dollars for each one thous-
and dollars of assessed valuation"
The law as amended provided for
three dollars only on each one thous-
and dollars. The law amended pro-
vided that this should apply to coun-
ties where such valuation does not
exceed ten millions dollars, the word
"forty" was stricken out of the new
law and "ten" million inserted. The
law as it stood provided further, that
such tax shall not exceed two dollars
on each one thousand dollars of as
sessed valuation, according to the as
sessment roll in counties where such
valuation is not more than forty mill
lion dollars and not to exceed seventy
five million dollars. The amendment
has stricken out the words "forty mil
hon" and inserted in lieu thereof "ten
Millions" and has stricken out the
words "seventy-fve million" and in
serted in lieu thereof twenty mil
lion." So the law provides that the
boards Of supervisors may levy tax
not exceeding four dollars on each one
thousand dollars of assessed valua-
ton, in counties where the valuation
is more than ten million dollars, and
does not exceed twenty million dol
lars. The new law further provides
in said Section Twenty, that such tax
shall not exceed three dollars on each
one thousand dollars of assessed valu-
alton, according to the assessment roll
Of the last preceding year in counties
where such valuation is more than
twenty million dollars and does not
exceed forty million dollars. Former
ly, the law provided that the tax
should not exceed one dollar on each
one thousand dollars of assessed
valuation in counties where such val
uation is more than seventy-fve mill
lion and not to exceed one hundred
million. The law as it stood further
provided that such tax should not ex-
coed fifty cents on each one thousand
dollars Of assessed valuation in coun-
ties where such valuation is more
than one hundred million dollars. As
it now reads the tax shall not exceed
two dollars on each one thousand in
counties where such valuation is more

cry, cabbage and caulifiower should be
transplanted not later than July 10.
Other vegetables which may be plant
ed late are peas, spinach, lettuce, en-
dive and kale. These all require cool,
moist weather for proper develop
ment, and do not thrive during the
heat Of summer. Try a late planting
of onion seed. Leave the bulbs in
the ground for crop of green onions
next spring."
Cultivation of Orchards is Help
The orchardist who aims to induce
his trees to do their best will find cul-
tivation a helpful practice, say M. A.
c. horticulturists.
"The orchard should be frequently
cultivated to keep the soil in good me-
chanical condition, to further prevent
the loss of moisture by evaporation
and to kill and keep down weeds" ac-
according to the fruit men. 1.-THE or
chard should be gone over once in ten
days or two weeks and after hard
rains. Fruit demands a great deal
Of moisture to develop properly, and
for this reason frequent shallow cul-
tivation should be given to make as
much moisture as possible readily
available to the trees.
"The smoothing harrow is one of
the best tools to use in the orchard
for this purpose"

worst Of the kings Of Judah, OF whom
1t b said. This Is that king Ahaz'
verse 22). Manasseh may have been
worse In some respects, but he repent
ed, while Of this man We read Of NO
repentance. There we're always some
who feared God, Cody remnant and
tho sixteen years Of this mans reign
must have been heartbrsaking time
for them, but no doubt time Of hu-
initiation and unceasing prayer to God.
and In due time deliverance came, -
We shall See In our next lesson
Days Of trial are always times Of
faith and patience on the part Of Gods
people, and the terrible days still be-
fore us, Of which we are having al
ready some foretastes, win give great
opportunity for the manifestation Of
such graces (Heb. vi, IL, 10; Rev. Kill,
l0. All LIES story as well a. all the
Bible story is either manifestation
Of God or the devil, and 90 It WIN be
until king shall reign in righteous
ness and peace and the devil be shut
up In the pit for thousand years. 1t
is written Of Ahaz that he did not right
in the sight of the Lord, but walked In
the ways of the kings Of Israel, and
they, without exception, walked In the
steps Of Jeroboam, son Of Nebat, who
made Israel to sin.
What Ahaz did that was wrong and
desperately sinful Is quite fully record
ed In our lesson chapter and In II
Kings xvi. He burned incense to other
gods not only In Jerusalem, but In all
the cities of judah and on the hills
and under every green tree. He burn
ed his children In the fire like the
heather whom the Lord had cast out.
he leaned on the king Of Assyria and
worshiped the gods Of the kings of
Syria. He had an altar made like one
he saw In Damascus and put it In place
Of the brazen altar Of the Lord and
offered sacrifices upon it. He took the
great LAYER from off the brazen oxen
pavement of stones. He cut In pieces
the vessels of the house of God and
shut up the doors OF the house of the
Lord. 1t seemed as if he could not
do enough to show his hatred of God
and His commandments. Yet he had
a good father, lothian, who beams
mighty because he prepared his ways
before the Lord his God (xxvii, O., and
he had good son, as we shall see In
our next lesson.

cents per bottle. One bottle is suffi-
cient for a bushel of seed. The soil
method is also reliable. Spread sew
eral hundred pounds per acre of fresh
surface soil from a successful alfalfa
or sweet clover patch over the ground
to be seeded. Apply on cloudy day
or in the evening, and follow with har-
row.
Fourth. Prepare the seeded thor
oughly. Alfalfa should be seeded on
land free of grass. June grass is its
greatest enemy in Michigan. Follow
after cultivated crop. Plow land five
or six weeks before seeding, firming
with roller and working thoroughly at
frequent intervals. 1t should be kept
in mind that alfalfa is to remain on
the land from four to six years. A
much more thorough preparation is
warranted than in the case of crops
which are to occupy land for only a
single season.
Fifth. Plant at proper time. The
best results are secured with seedlings
made about mid-July on land which
has been plowed early and worked
thoroughly so as to control grass and
weeds. No nurse crop or companion
crop should be seeded except on sandy
soils or soils which are inclined to
wash, in which case a peck or so of
buckwheat will be beneficial. Early
spring seedlings should be made with
companion crop of oats or barley
seeded at the ratio of one bushel per
acre.
Sixth. Drill fifteen pounds or
broadcast twenty pounds per acre of
good seed. Northern grown seed or
Grimm seed is best adapted to Michi-
gan and will withstand winter killing
better than ordinary alfalfa seed"

A word for the particular guidance
OF those Michigan citizens who are
trying gardening this season for the
first time, is offered in bulletin
from the department of horticulture
st the Michigan Agricultural college.
The bulletin corrects the notion enter
tanned by many amateur gardeners
that when their present garden crop
natures the garden is done for the
summer, for according to the horti-
culturists there are numerous vege-
tables which can be planted all
through July.
Not all vegetables have the same
season of maturity" il is pointed out.
Some reach edible maturity in few
weeks, but others occupy the ground
the whole season. To insure a con-
slant and continuous supply, it is ad-
visable to make several successive
paintings Of the early quick-maturing
crops. When these have been remov-
ed there may be spaces in the garden
which can be utilized by some Of the
late crops. Make planting of Golden
Bantam corn and snap beans now.
These should reach edible maturity
before any severe frosts occur.
"Plant seeds of Chinese cabbage,
kohl rabi, winter radishes and tur-
nips late in July. Plants of late cell

The Michigan farmer who is in
quest of crop which will furnish
large yields of hay, make stock
thrive, and cut down the amount of
concentrated feed required by his ami
mails, can find what he wants in al
falfa, farm crop men of the Michi-
gan Agricultural college declare. AL
falfa, with corn, can be so fed as to
furnish an almost balanced ration.
"But the man who goes in for al
falfa," the crop specialists say, "must
appreciate that there are details
about preparing the land for it, and
planting it which must not be ignored.
Omission of amy of these items will
almost certainly result in failure.
Those points are the following:
First. Select fields for alfalfa
which are well-drained and which can
be put in proper condition. Alfalfa
should not be planted after sod but
should follow cultivated crops such as
potatoes, corn or beans, which leave
the land fairly clean.
eff early potatoes are harvested be-
fore mid-July, alfalfa can be seeded
another crop which can be followed
with alfalfa. These last two crops
offer excellent opportunity for secur-
ing alfalfa at little expense.
"Second. Lime the land for alfal-
ia. Apply two tons of ground lime
stone or several cubic yards of mari
before seeding. This crop requires
more lime than any other crop grown
in the state. The soils Of Michigan
are so widely deficient in calcium car
Donate that in nearly all cases fields
should be lined in preparation for
alfalfa.
"Third. Innoculate properly. IN
less alfalfa or sweet clover has grown
previously on the land, incubation

"The older hens may be sent to
market few at time as fast as. they
stop laying. All hens which remain
in laying condition through the sum-
ner should be retained until fall.
Those which continue egg production
until October / or later should be re-
tanned for use as breeders. If prop
erly handled, hens may be carried
through the summer at good profit
in spite of the high cost of feed. If
these hens are thrown on the mar
ket now, the market will have an
over-supply greater than the storage
houses can handle, and prices will be
forced down to q low level.
Don't kill laying hens; raise as
many pullets as possible; have all
chickens Matched before June 1, feed
well and handle carefully: If these
suggestions are followed a good profit
will result, and and an egg famine
will be avoided"

CONSUL TING DEPARTMENT
Don't Kill the Hen


Egg dealers will be interested in
the following plea to farmers by M.
C. Fitzpatrick, poultry specialists, Ohio
State University:
"All present indications point to
continued high prices for eggs with
the possibility of newly laid eggs of
prime quality selling, next winter at
prices considerably above those of
last winter. Eggs are going into
storage now at costs which necessit-
ate retail price of 40 cents or better
next fall and winter in order to re-
turn reasonable profit for handling
and storing.
whether the present shortage of
eggs continues through next winter
or not depends on what the farmers
of Michigan do with their poultry
during the next six or eight weeks. If
they follow out their expressed in
tention Of selling the greater part of
the farm flock because of the high
cost of feed, and the fowls which are
sold are not replaced with pullets,
fresh eggs will be as scarce next Nov
ember and December as the proyerbial
hens teeth
because of the existing shortage
in the egg market and the increasing
demand for eggs due to the advancing
cost of other livestock products, ev-
cry farmer in the state should plan
to raise as many good pullets this sea-
SON as he has facilities to handle.
,They should be carefully fed so that
{aey will be well grown and begin to
Law before the first of November. For
a profitable yield of eggs during the
winter months early Matched pullets
are much more valuable than hens.

than forty million dollars. Thus it
will be seen that the boards of super
visors are enabled to raise a much
larger amount in case they see fit
than under the law passed by the
legislature at the 1915 session.
A bill was introduced by Mr.. Bry-
ant, prohibiting the driving or oper-
ating of motor vehicles by persons
under the influence of intoxicating
liquors or any celebrating or stupe-
flying drug Section 2 of this law
provides that any person violating
act shall be guilty of a misdeamor,
and if convicted shall be liable to a
fine of not less than $50 or more than
500 or by imprisonment in the coun-
ty jail or the Detroit House of Cor
rection for not more than ninety days,
or both such fines subject to the dis
erection of the court.
The people of Michigan are to be
congratulated upon the passage of
such a law. To say that automobile
accidents will be reduced fifty per
cent by a strict enforcement Of this
law, I believe to be no exaggeration.
Not only will its strict enforcement
prevent accidents but add to the plea
sure of law-abiding tourists.
Senator Covert introduced bill to
authorize highway officials to close
roads under construction, improve
ment or repair or any portion of a
highway whereon a bridge is being
constructed or repaired. The law re-
quires such officials to place in good
repair and to mark by proper signs
suitable detours around roads, or por-
tons Of roads, which are closed there
under, to provide suitable barriers,
and lights to be maintained at the end
Of such roads or portions of roads
which are thus closed and at the in
tersections thereof with other roads;
TO require the removal Of signs and
barriers located and placed hereunder;
and to provide a penalty for viola
ton Of the provisions thereof.
This new law will be a great help
in that no official can close road
until suitable barriers have been
erected at the end Of such road and
conspiciously marked at night by red
lights, and further that no road shall
be closed until suitable detours
around the same or closed portion
thereof are provided and are placed
in safe and passable condition for
traffic.
This law requires that notices in
the form of plainly legible signs shall
be placed by the highway officials,
having the work in charge, at either
end Of the closed highway. The act
provides for fine and imprisonment
or both fine and imprisonment in case
any highway official is negligent or
refuses to comply with the law.

PREVENT STOCK EATING
CLOvER-LEAF Beetle

From time to time there appears
a small, grub-like creature that feeds
on clover. a greenish, soft-bodied
grub, the immature form of the Glow
er-leaf beetle. 1t feeds usually at
night on red clover, alsike, alfalfa,
and sometimes on white clover and
mammoth clover. Fortunately, nature
has provided an agent which is likely
to appear during excessive outbreaks
of the pest, in the form of a fungus
disease which destroys the grub, first
impelling the dying, insect to crawl up
to the top of grass spear and curl
its body around the point. Here the
grub dies and its body remains cling.
ing there afterward until washed of
by the rains. The appearance of the
fungus disease has usually been al
most simultaneous with the coming of
the grub so that the loss from the
clover-leaf beetle has been almost
neglible thus far.
Now, if this, were the whole story
we would be content to let well
enough alone, but unfortunately the
dead bodies of the grubs when killed
by the fungus disease are poisonous
to stock, usually not sufficiently poi
sonous to produce death, but often
toxic enough to produce serious ILL
ness. 1t is, therefore, suggested that
during the present outbreak of the
grubs, stock be restrained from feed
ing on grass bearing such dead grubs
(which will be found curled around
the tips of grass spears), until after
the weather has washed off their bod
les and again made the forage safe.

Gas Tank Gusts Lo, the Indian

LoweIl.-Human bones were uncov-
cred in Lowell last week when exca-
avting for a gasoline tank. The re-
mains were apparently those of an
Indian, who had been buried for q
century or more, as but little remain
ed of the skull and arm and leg bones
A tomahawk, kettle handle, knife
blade almost rusted away, were found
with the bones.
1t was near this spot that similar
discovery was made several years
ago during the excavation of sew
er. At that time three skeletons
were found, apparently those of a
man, woman and child, together with
kettle which contained corn when
buried and some other relics.
