MICHIGAN CROP AND
LIVE STOCK SUMMARY

Fall-sown wheat and rye entered
the winter with an unusually small
top growth. These crops were gen
orally well protected with snow up to
March l except in a few eastern coun-
ties. and throughout the month OF
March in the Upper Peninsula and
northern part OF Lower Michigan.
The plants were weakened to some
extent by the cold dry winds during
March, and some local damage from
winter-killing and smothering was al
so reported As they were still dor
mant at the end OF the month over the
greater part OF the State. their exact
condition could not be determined.
However. the roots appear to be alive
and a marked improvement in the ap-
pearance OF the plant may be ex-
pected IL weather conditions are fa-
prable during the next few weeks.
| The condition OF rye is somewhat
better than that OF wheat
The general healthfulness of live
stock is above the average, the winter
having been generally favorable and
the principal diseases less prevalent
Owing TO the scarcity and high price
of grain. less has been fed and live
stock OF all kinds Is thinner. on the
average than under normal feeding
conditions In keeping with the in
creased healthfulness, the mortality
has decreased In all classes OF live
stock from that OF the previous year.
The losses OF swine from hog cholera
were only about 60 per cent OF those
Of the previous year, and 35 per cent
OF those in 1914 Through the activity
of Federal and State authorities most
OF the infected districts have been
under control, and the outbreaks in
new districts are becoming less fire.

Marmon Reduces
Weight, But Keeps
Luxury Of Auto

Higher efficiency in operation and
considerable economy both in fuel
and tires accompany every saving in
weight in the construction of the
automobile" said H. Pelton, Marmon
distributor, "and we believe this is
fully confirmed by the scientifically
constructed Marmon "a.
"When Marmon engineers designed
this new car, they did so in the belief
that all the requirements of the lux
ury car could be met, with much
greater economy, by saving weight,
They succeeded in designing a car
LOO pounds lighter than any auto
mobile of comparable size, power and
speed, and obtained splendid riding
qualities by proper distribution OF
weight. The weight on the rear
wheels of the Marmon does not ex-
coed by more than seventy pounds
that on the front wheels. Lightness
was obtained by extensive use of
aluminium, both in the engine con-
struction and in the body, and by
structural design that eliminated many
weighty parts"

Studebaker Truck Makes
Record Right in Omaha

Speaking of remarkable records Of
cars, one was called to our attention
tie other day which proves conclu-
sively the lasting worth of Stude-
baker cars" remarked ]. E. Kauf-
mann of Studebaker- Wilson Inc.
The owner of this car is Mr.. N.
Anderson, proprietor of Outlook
Farm dairy, Sixty-ninth and Center
streets, Omaha. He purchased Stude-
baker delivery truck early in 1911 and
has used the car continuously since
he day he purchased it.
"The car has been driven over 100,-
900 miles, has been in service
every day in the year and has made
on an average of over sixty stops
zach day. An accurate account of the
upkeep expense shows the remark
Sbly,low figure of $3485 per year. The
act that the car has not been held up
nne single day since Mr.. Anderson
purchased it makes it more remark
lble.
"He gets over fifteen miles on a
gallon OF gasoline. He also states that
he expects to get another two years
Of service out of this car, making eight
ears of continuous use"

Idaho Taxes Autos in
Proportion to Weiqht

The fact that heavy truck will do
more damage to a macadam road
than motorcycle is nothing new to
most people. Only recently, however,
have efforts been made to differ
entiate between heavy and light
weight automobiles through taxation
proportionate to the road wear for
which each type is responsible.
Idaho is the first state to make the
automobile contribute to road mainte-
nance on the basis OF weight. Under
provisions of a law passed at the last
session of the Idaho legislature and
approved by the governor, licenses
will be issued according to the follow
ing standards: 1000 pounds or less,
SIS; between 1000 and 5000 pounds,
$40; between 5000 and 1000 pounds,
$50, and above 1000 pounds, $40.
This measure is indicative of the
appreciation on the part of the public
of the economic phase of the automo-
bile weight question.
In the production OF lightweight
automobiles, the Franklin company
has always been regarded as a pio-
neer. This company has followed the
principle of scientific light weight as
the basis for obtaining maximum car
service, inasmuch as heavy, or TN
necessary, weight has been looked
upon as an economic loss through ex-
cessive gasoline consumption, limited
tire mileage and wear and tear on
mechanical parts.

1t is stated that the Western Mo-
tor Car company was selected from a
list of eleven dealers who were trying
for the agency and the Harroun Mo.
tors corporation is exceedingly well
pleased with the connection made.
Sure to Be Favorite.
In speaking of the car, E. V. Alb
bolt, general manager of the West.
ern Motor Car company, seemed well
satisfied that the Harroun is destined
TO be favorite in motor circles, and,
having convinced himself some time
ago of its mechanical soundness, he
predicts a good business.
The price, which is to be less than
$500, will be announced in few
days and shipments are to come for
ward some time during the month.
The Harroun has caused wide com.
ment in motor circles. Its manafac.
turer, Ray Harroun, has been known
to the motor trade for a number Of
years, first as race driver and later
as a designing engineer OF popular

FACTS ABOUT COST
OF LONG TOURS
Oregon College Couple Report
On Experiment With Max
well Touring Car.
EXPENSES ARE VERY Low

How much money for operating up
keep need the automobile owner ex-
pect to invest in running his car after
he has bought it?
In an effort to be Of definite aid to
thousands of men and women who are
balancing the question against their
check books, Milton ]. and Mrs.
Miriam Thayer Seeley, the latter a
professor in the Oregon Agricultural
college, Corvallis, Ore, have COM
pleted double transcontinental auto
mobile drive, involving 900 miles,
and have just put together for the
public generally what is believed to
be the most enlightening and COM
plete table of authoritative statistics
ever assembled on the costs of motor
ing in the United States.
Driving a Maxwell touring car, the
Oregon fact-hunters travelled from the
Pacific coast, in Oregon, to Boston,
Mass, and then returned to the Pa
cifc over a different route. The total
of their expenses, this including not
only the cars upkeep in gasoline, oil
and repairs, but the cost of food in
camping out, was surprising-$275.E.
Travel Conditions.
Every condition of travel was en-
countered, observed and statistics kept
on it. All cost details, as it was felt
these are sought by the intending mo-
tor car owner, are given in the official
tabulation.
The salient point in an analysis of
this table, which shows car repair
costs of $3.50 for the run east. and
$1,000 for the $500 miles back to
the coast, and the factor in motoring
that the buyer tries hardest to put his
finger on, is that in the 10000 miles,
which constitute a good seasons
mileage for most drivers, it is shown
that the Maxwell owner can expect to
keep his car in repair for approx
mately ST month, the total cost for
car repairs having been only $l4. The
long trip likewise upheld the Max
wells reputation for upward of twen-
ty miles on a gallon of gasoline in
daily service, it is shown, while the
expenditures for lubricant prove that
the car goes approximately $50 miles
to the quart of cylinder oil.
Indicative of the spread OF the mo-
tor cars usefulness, the table also
makes plain the revelation that the
automobile no longer is luxury, but
is to be accepted as an economic ne
cessity, these tourists having crossed
the United States both ways by auto
mobile at cost more than 500 less
than would have been required in
fares alone had the distance been
covered by rail.

Usco Motorcycle Tire
Wins Another Friend

A Chambersburg, Pa, motorcycle
enthusiast sends in the following re-.
port on the extraordinary service he
got out of a United States CISCO"
motorcycle tire:
Zone Sunday last May I bought a
'Usco.' The boys wanted to take a
trip and was afraid that my old tire
would blow out, so l had the dealer
put the 'Usco' on instead. / ran that
'Usco' tire $500 miles at least. Then
made a trade on a secondhand
four-wheeler. l took the 'Usco' off
my motorcycle and put it on the left
rear of my four wheeler. Since then
t has made about 5000 miles more
ind it is going to make some more
revolutions before it blows"

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When the tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be
reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts through the blood on the
mucous surfaces of the system.

COOPERATION IN EFFORT II
REDUCE FIRE WASTE.

In cooperation with the State Fire
Marshal's Department and the State
Council of National Defense, efforts
are being made by the members of
the Conservation Association of
Kentucky of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters to reduce the pos
sibility of fire waste to a minimum.
The Conservation Association,
which is composed of the field men
representing the fire insurance COM
panies operating in the State, ten
dered its services to the National
Government with a view to bring
about improvement in plants used for
manufacturing and storing of food
supplies and such other resources as
are necessary to the successful prose-
cution of the war against Germany.
This service was welcomed by the
Government and while Congress was
still debating methods of food control
and conservation the Kentucky Con-
servation Association was busy carry
ing out practical war time measures
for the protection of food stuffs and
other supplies from destruction by
fire. The work is in line with the
appeal of Herbert G. Hoover, who has
adopted, Food Will Win the War"
as his motto in his efforts to awaken
the people to the necessity of con-
servation. The inspection service
rendered by the Kentucky Associa-
ton will be thorough. The field
men have been assigned to different
parts of the State where all mills,
elevators, groceries, warehouses, lum-
Der yards, saw mills, etc., will be
placed under inspection. Improve
ments designed to safeguard these
properties will be suggested.
The cooperation of the property
owners is earnestly desired, as it is
felt that only through cooperation
can the object sought be attained.
All of the field men have credentials
as Inspectors of the State Fire Mar
shals Department. They have been
selected for the work because of their
practical training and experience.
Their service is one to the country
and to the people.
While the work will be done by in
surance men, it will have no connec-
ton with the inurance business, the
companies represented giving their
time and part of their expenses as
their bit in the food conservation
campaign.

OFFICIAL NOTICE TO RETAIL
| SEED DEALERS.

The Kentucky Pure Seed Law
went into effect September %, 1916,
yet it was found when seeds were.
placed on the market in the spring
of 1917 some retail dealers were ig-
norant of it's requirements and had
made no provision for labelling the
stock they were selling. In order
that there will be no ground for
excuses of this sort the coming fall
this notice is being sent out in COR
respondence of the Station and in
circulars and newspapers, in the
hope that when our inspectors make
their rounds they may not find any
one who through ignorance of the
law has stock in his hands that will
subject his to prosecution.
The law requires that all field
seeds, such as timothy, clover, wheat,
corn and hemp shall be labeled with
Cd the approximate percentage of
purity and (2) the approximate per-
centage of termination. Failure to
so label seeds renders the seller liza
BILE to fine of from $500 to 500
for each offense. Kentucky whole
sale dealers in seeds are now familiar
with the requirements of the law and
in most cases are prepared to test
their seeds and label them, but re-
tail dealers cannot always afford to
maintain testing laboratories and
must depend on the wholesalers for
the percentages required on the Ia
bells.
The main purpose of this notice is,
therefore, to urge Kentucky retailers
when placing their orders for the fall
trade to notify those from whom they
buy that the law requires purity and
termination percentages on all labels,
and to insist that these be furnished
on the seeds they buy. Tags with
headings for the percentages should
be printed by the retail dealer before
the selling time arrives. The best
wholesalers inside and outside the
State are able to furnish the figures
needed; if any are unwilling to do so,
retailers should buy of some one else.
When information is needed as to
wholesalers who are complying with
the Kentucky law we shall be pleas
ed to furnish it.
Circular No. 5 of the Department
of Entomology and Botany contains
the law, complete, with some further
details as to labelling. 1t can be Sc
cured free by applying to the Sta
ton.

COLLIE DOG DEVELOPS SENSE OF
REASONING.

A collie kept at the sheep barns at
the Ohio Experiment Station seems
to have developed the sense of rea-
soning power. A. number of sheep
were being driven down long, mar
row alley from the shearing pens.
When about halfway down, some of
the sheep faced around thus blocking
the entire passage. The dog watch
ed their movements with some rest
lessness, he being in the rear of the
bunch. This lasted for a few seconds
and then without command from the
man in charge of the sheep, he
leaped over the few sheep near him
and passing over the backs of num-
Der, he soon reached the front and
had caused the head sheep to turn
about and go ahead, allowing the
whole bunch to rapidly pass out of
the alley.
