CHANCE FOR GOOD CROPS.

Various authorities are calling at
tention to the fact that while the pres
ent season is very late it is by no
means the only season of the kind
that has been experienced in Michi-
gan and that bountiful crops of sew
eral varieties are still possible. Wheat
is about the only crop which has been
definitely damaged and authorities
place this damage at about 80 per
cent. There is still ample time for
other grain crops, beans, beets, po-
tatoes and garden truck TO do well.
Let us indulge every hope aad supple
ment this with every possible ounce
of endeavor. Paul Lawrence Dun
bars philosophy has heap of virtue
and comfort in it: "When the fish
amt on your line, do not sit around
and whine, bait your hook and keep
OH tryin' and keep agoin'."

BEAN AND POTATO
GROWERS MEET

The editor attended the meeting of
the bean and potato growers of the
county which was held in the super
visc $ room at the court house last
Sunday afternoon ut which time SeEe.
raj matters of interest to farmers
were discussed. In stating the pur-
pose of the meeting County Agricul-
tural Agent j. F. Rieman told of what
had been done looking toward the
production. of larger crops by the
branch of public service to which he
is attached. He told of the enroll
ment of school boys for service on
farms and said that different manu-
lecturers has told him that many men
in their employ who were experienced
n farm work would be released for
such service rs soon as their help was
required He also told Of d labor eX-
change which is being perfected be-
tween the agricultural agents of the
various counties whereby any excess
of help in any locality could be trans
ferred to Others where it miEat be
needed.
The principal action taken at the
meeting was the adoption Of resolu-
ton asking the state was prepared
ness board at Lansing to use its in
Aeuce to secure the fiXou by the Fed
eral government Of minimum prices
fer beans, corn and potatoes. This
resolution was unauimously adopted
ana there was also adopted q further
resolution 10 the effect that the farm
ers of Genosee County did not feel
enthusiastic about raising cT mere
ed acreage Of crops unless thCy could
be guaranteed profitable prices, As a
reason for the action taken it Wa
stated rs a general proposition that
dear seed in times gone by had usual
ly meant a che#p crop.
Methods of planting and cultiVat-
ing beans received considerable atteG-
ton. The majority of those who had
had experience with growing beans
favored planting about the middle Of
June and one extensive grower said
he had always had best results when
the beans were planted in hills in
stead Of by drilling, but it was agreed
that conditions of soil had much to do
with the methods which could be best
employed.
The discussion drifted from these
matters to cooperative marketing
and several enthusiastic speeches were
made in support of this plan, the re-
suit of which was the adoption of a
resolution authorizing Mr.. Rieman to
get all possible data of the cost of es-
tablishing a string of cooperative ele-
vators throughout the county. The
latter is expected to make his report
on this resolution at an open meeting
of the Pomona Grange which will be
held with Enterprise Grange, near
Dawson, Saturday, June 16. All
farmers of the county, whether men,
bers of the Grange or not, were invit-
ed to attend this meeting.
