Wheat conditions I'm Michigan are

The average yield of corn per acre
is 1911 bushels; of beans, $50, and
potatoes, 9S.4. The acreage of both
beans and potatoes is considerable

The estimated total number of bush

In accordance with an order COM

Matched lumber, graceful design and
wide glassed porches, make II even In
its unfinished and muddy state an In:
viting place.
Present plans call for hospital
rated at 1,0O0.bed capacity. but
which actually will be 1.300.bed hos
pital. There are provisions for an
extension to 1,500-bed rating or even
to to 1000 beds. but as 1t is at pres
ent, II will take 40 medical officers, 60
female nurses, and $50 enlisted men TO
run II.
So far it is shy OF personnel, having
only 30 medical officers, 100 enlisted
men and IL nurses. But there are more
than enough to take care of the needs
OF the patients.
When II Is done it will compare IA
vorably with the best city hospitals,
but now the work Is hampered by lack
OF material with which to finish the
buildings. Plumbing is the chief trou-
Bile. Lack of supply pipes to connect
them makes the bath tubs useless
The operating rooms cannot be used
for the same reason, but so far there
have been no cases requiring immedi
ate operation.
