Lansing-The troubles of Michigan
dairymen will be brought TO light and
thoroughly aired through the efforts
of the commission appointed by Gov
ernor Sleeper.
This commission, which is headed
by Fred NJ. Warner, former governor,
will carefully study dairy conditions
throughout the state. The entire dairy
industry, from milk producing to the
manufacture and sale of cheese and
butter, will be inspected.

PLEA MADE TO EXEMPT FARMERS
M. A. C. Board Tells President Food
Production viii Suffer.

Lansing-A firm protest against the
way in which district boards are ad-
ministering the national army law has
been voiced by the state board of agri-
culture In a resolution asking exemp-
ton from army service for farmers
and farm hands actively engaged in
producing crops.
The suggestion that their places
might be taken "by raw recruits from
the towns, ignorant and unframed"
was condemned as a policy which if
put into effect will lead to disaster
in agriculture.
The board adopted a memorial
which was sent to President Wilson
reciting that if the draft is enforced
too strictly against farm boys the re-
suit will be to nullify in measure the
governments plans for larger crop
acreage.
The memorial recites that farm help,
even before any are taken in the draft
is so scarce that a considerable acre
age of this years crops is suffering
for want of cultivation; that while
there is a call to SOW 20 per cent more
acreage of wheat this fall it is a prob
lem of where the help will come from
to do so.
Attention is called in the memorial
to the presidents message that an
adequate force to raise food is as
essential as an adequate force to fight.
In order that farmer boys who are
students at the Agricultural college
may have two weeks more for fall
farm work, the closing board decided
that the opening term of the college
shall be deferred until October 10.
One of the two weeks will be made
up by reducing the Christmas holiday
from two weeks to one.

WILL FORCE DELIVERY OF COAL
Governor Warns Mines He Is Ready to
Put Case Before President.

Lansing-Due to the laxity of coal
tional, the state of Michigan is now
preparing to force the coal barons to
furnish an adequate supply of anthra-
cite before the winter demands again
create an acute shortage.
Governor Sleeper sent a telegram
to the head of every one of the hard
coal producing companies, warning
them that this state has secured so
far but per cent of the hard coal 1t
usually gets He suggested that the
coal companies tell why; otherwise
Michigan's condition as to hard coal
will be taken up at once with Presi-
dent Wilson
This action. supplemented by the
appointment of committee which is,
IL possible, to bring into the state it's
normal shipment of hard coal. came as
a result of conference the governor
had with about dozen men from all
parts of the state. Coal dealers, non
coal dealers, coal purchasers and rep
resentatives OF state boards were pres
ent. All said that the situation as to
hard coal was serious. The soft coal
situation is not any worse now than
1t was at this time last year. But il is
impossible to get anthracite at any
price.
Coal dealers throughout the state
were asked to wire the governor what
their requirements this year are and
what percentage of the coal has been
received thus far.
