During an era that often witness

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Last week, Thursday and Friday,
Miss Jessie DeBoth, assistant state
club leader, gave demonstrations OF
canning by the cold-pack method at
the Caspian club house, Iron River
high school and the Forest Park
school at Crystal Falls. The results
obtained by this method OF canning
were well demonstrated and those
present were well pleased with the
work.
Thursday evening the county agent,
accompanied by Mr.. Tiegs. visited the
Uncle Sans Helpers garden and can
ming club at the Iron River Grange
hall. There are some live gardeners
in this club.
Word has been received that Miss
Maude Bennett, home demonstration
agent, who has been sick at her home
in southern Michigan. will be back
with us very soon. This is welcome
news to her friends over the county.
Last Wednesday the county agent
visited farms on the Gibbs City route
and in the Benson district.
II you have an extra field OF grain,
drop line to the county agent telling
him about IT, We want to have plenty
OF good seed available for next year
Kindly notify the county agent II you
find disease in your potatoes. Be on
the lookout for 1t.
1t Is planned to have demonstration
plots OF one or two acres on several
farms throughout the county this fall
planted to Red Rock wheat, the best
Michigan fall wheat, and Rosen rye,
the best rye grown in Michigan. The
object will be to compare the resist
ence OF the two grains TO winter kill
ing. and TO see whether II Is practi-
cable to grow winter wheat here. Sew
eral farmers have already indicated
that they would like to run the dem
onstration. II you would care TO, drop
a line to the county agent and he will
arrange with you for seed.

Editor Diamond Drill,
Crystal Falls. Michigan.
The boys from Iron county who left
for Camp Custer last Thursday want
me to write you that we reached camp
at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, after a
very comfortable trip. considering the
hot weather.
The Iron county contingent cannot
say enough in praise of the Red Cross
ladies who met our train at Chicago,
Michigan City, Ind, Niles, and Kala-
mazoo. At each OF these stations the
Red. Cross ladies were at the depot
with fruit, candy, cigarettes, ice wa
ter, lemonade, chocolate, etc.
There were nine car loads OF troops
on our train, so you see that II wa
some Job for this organization to look
after so many men. The boys were
well pleased with the trip and many
said that they were well satisfied with
the train accommodations and meals,
both at Chicago where we had fine
breakfast in the G. N. w. depot, and
with dinner on the Michigan Central
train enroute.
The upper peninsula contingent OF
400 men sure made noise, and every
one along the line knew that we were
going through. They sure did cut
loose upon entering camp and every
one there knew we had arrived.
Iron county can well be proud OF
her July contingent as the boys ar
rived at camp in fine shape, everyone
was happy and glad OF the chance to
be able to serve Uncle Sam.
Very truly yours,
c. ]. CLARK.

the labor element and the farmers. yet
If he doe-. he will win.
The Ford coup Is looked upon In
Detroit as a purely Detroit political
move in which the state has been
made TO drag the chestnuts OF one or
the other faction out OF the fire. De-
troit Is to witness very animated
contest in which the senatorship Is
being used as a pawn; something as
the kaiser proposes to use Belgium.
In giving reasons underlying the
endorsement OF Ford by President VIII
son. some varied and interesting sug-
gestions are made. One of the most
persistent rumors that heard is that
President Wilson is looking ahead TO
the makeup OF the senate at the close
OF the war and he doesn't propose 10
be caught as was President Johnson
with a senate that has an opinion OF
its own. 1t is contended that Presi-
dent Wilson has some pronounced len
lent views towards Germany which
he wishes to push through and that
he can push through only with SEN
ate majority which has pacifist lean
ing. Ford's pacifism is so we'll known
that the president feels sure Of his
endorsement of the Wilson program
as he would of rubber stamp; there
fore, he wants Ford senator.
Another view that we heard put
forth several times is that the Presi-
dent is looking TO the future OF the
democratic party and the industrial
reconstruction of the nation after the
war with an eye to special privilege
to the peculiarly southern activities.
The tariff is certain TO be more or less
OF an issue and upon the kind OF a
tariff law drafted will depend great
deal the ascendency which one par
ticular section or industry will gain
over the other.
But, to get back to our original
question, who'll be senator?" it looks
very much as If the fellow who don't
know much about them things" is go
ing to decide the question.

TOBIN GARDENS.

V. RAUTANEN.

So much favorable comment has
come from various visitors to this
city on the quality OF the garden work
at the Tobln location that IL seems
well to let people know what Is taxi
Ing place in this community.
In riding past this location one is
struck with the uniformly fine appear
ance Of the gardens by the roadside.
However, there are not the only ones
because a tour OF investigation will
disclose a similar condition through
out. Aside from the fact that the To-
bin soil seems TO be OF good quality
and that the weather man was very
good in this section. the Tobin garden
ers seem TO be especially adept at
their work. IL has come from several
sources that the gardens at the Tobin
location are as good as any and bet
ter than 30 per cent OF the gardens In
any other community in the county.
and this undoubtedly is the case.

TO CHANGE DRAFT AGE.

1t is quite certain that as soon as
congress re-convenes in September a
bill will be passed changing the draft
age. Just what the change will be
isn't given out. but 1t is thought Ger
tain that the age will be both lowered
and raised.
The advocates of universal training
are in favor of lowering the draft age
TO about 10 years, and put the boys

great practical value to several hum
bred doushboys who partook Of the pies
the next day. Ma Burdick and Cap

ent circulars. each pie FURNISHING wedge
for five hungry and grateful American
boys. That's why the Salvation Army
stands so strong with our boys on the
fighting line"
This remarkable feat was not ac-
complished without great difficulty,
the writer proceeds to say Only six
pies could be made at one baking. the
oven capacity being limited. The hut
had just been opened and congestion
of transportation made 1t difficult to
supply all of the necessary equipment.
Among other things missing was roll
ing pin, but somehow or other. the SAL
walton Army lassies always find way
to surmount difficulties such as these.
Instead of a rolling pin. ,"Ma' Bur
dick employed a broken wagon shaft
which was hastily rounded by Captain
Powell with dis pocket knife so that
it, served admirably for the purpose.
Had not Captain Pownell and his
pocket knife been handy. 1t Is quite
likely that the lassies would have FOUND
some other way to roll their pie-douEh

lieu Of proper tools which are frequent

by the movements Of troops. the WON

Some housewives may doubt the pie
making record made as stated. but 1t
is vouched for as absolutely true. 1t
must be admitted however. that all OF
the apple and pumpkin filler used in
making the pies was already cooked
and steaming hot when poured into
the pastry and placed in the oven. This
Of course. had much to do in accelerat-
ing the amazing speed with which the
pies were produced.
