Upper Peninsula offers Pastures.

The greatest contribution to the
food preparedness cause since Michi-
gan's agriculturists took up the hoe in
response to President Wilson's call a
few weeks ago, has come from the up
per peninsula in the guise of what
amounts practically to a gift of % 900
acres of ideal grazing grounds to state
sheepmen and stock raisers.
Men with herds will be permitted to
turn them loose on the upper PENN
sula ranges. fatten them and market
them when they are ready. The pas.
lures are capable of supporting approx.
imately 100000 sheep, or from 10000
to 10000 feeding steers.
The offer has brought an immediate
response from some OF the biggest
flock owners in the state, and one of
these men has already begun moving
1000 head of sheep to the Lake Super
ior grazing grounds. The cost of trans
portation will be borne by the owners
Of the fiocks.
THE project is one OF the best that
has been devised for promoting food
production" says w. F. Raven, live
stock extension specialist for the Mich.
igan Agricultural college. by moving
fiocks north, the land which they
would have required for grazing in
southern Michigan can be sown to
crops. BY using the upper peninsula
pastures $4,000 acres of tillable land
in this section OF the state can be add
ed to the food producing area"

M. A. c. Engineering Hall Dedicated.
The r. E. Olds Hall of Engineering,
the gift OF the Lansing automobile
manufacturer to the engineering de-
partment Of the Michigan Agricultural
college. was dedicated as the closing
ceremony Of the NJ. A. c. commence
ment program.
The new structure, with its equip
ment and the adjoining shops, cost
in the neighborhood of $25O,000.
Mr.. Olds's contribution to the en-
cheering department was 100000
This fund he gave Immediately fol-
lowing the fire which March S, 1915,
wiped out the old building and shops
The gift has not covered half what
the hall and shops have cost. but 1t is
generally conceded that IL II had not
come when 1t did. there would now
be no engineering deDlrtment at the
college, and the institution would have
lost as well its large appropriations
from the federal government, which
are given only with the stipulation
that a department of mechanical arts
and sciences be conducted in conjunc-
ton with the agricultural courses.
The Odds gift enabled the college,
when 1t was practically moneyless, to
begin reconstruction Of the destroyed
structures at once.

are apt to think with the bountiful
crops this year we should have an
abundance.
But-one of the vital needs Of the
time is that America should provision
France and England. Even in normal
times England does not raise enough
food to feed herself. And. these are
far from normal times. And a large
part of the food growing country Of
France has been temporarily taken
away. ~
France and England need food and

LIBERTY LOAN
BEST AMMUNITION
TO END THE WAR

The United States government has
begun it's energetic campaign to float
the second Of. the Liberty loans neces-
sary to make this country effective in
the world-war. The specific goal is
three billion dollars, but it is hoped
and that the subscribers Mill total
one-tenth Of the population.
The loan should appeal to every
man, woman and-yes, to every child
in the land. It is not enough to say
that one has subscribed to the first
loan. The loyal American should
subscribe for every loan IL possible.
And in many cases it will be possible,
by dint of economy.
h second Liberty loan has got to
be a success. Every Liberty loan has
got to be 9 success. If the nation
can't float its loans. the money will
have to be secured In other and more
drastic ways, and this would unsettle
the entire economic. financial and in
dustrial fabric Of the country.
But there is something else, too,
quite as important: "a failure on the
part Of this fabulously rich country
to oversubsoribe each Of its war loan.

H YEARS CROPS

Ihe feature OF the government estimates of crop
producuon Tor the current year is the forecast, which
anounts 70 a certainty now, of a corn crop which ex-
ceed4 any other corn crop ever raised in the country
ma wnicn II thirty per cent greater than the average
Yield for the five years prior to 1916. According to the
H HsuIrFe the United States has produced this year the
enormous quantity Of S,21o,7s5,oo 900 bushels Of corn this
year. That Is enough to give 80 bushels Of corn to every
sgnnnaaan:s " and child in the United States, and, If IT
sNsEeas all available for human consumption, it would
proSade each OF US with more mush and johnny cake
than he could eat in a year il he ate nothing else The
manner which values and prices have been thrown
out OF gear by the war is shown by the fact that with
tnis enormous production, the price Of corn has this
3yeaf deem the highest known since corn became the
great staple that 1t is is.
Our total production Of wheat is about $50, 900, 600
