while earnest and enthusiastic enough
in their desire to further the cause of
agriculture, went at their subjects
from the wrong end.
Now and then speaker would
mount the platform to harangue his
audience In this fashion:
mo farmer is playing the agricul-
tural game to win If he does not make
use of commercial fertilizers. They
are Indispensable In successfully main
tanning high production OF crops
through period of years. On my own
farm have used mixed fertilizers for
twenty years and my crops are as
large today as they were when the soil
was virgin. Unquestionably, fertilizers
are the secret of my success"
No attempt was made to bring out
the fact that while such practice
might have worked out well enough
on the particular farm of the particu-
lar lecturer, In the particular locality
in which he resided, 1t might not do at
all In another agricultural region
where the soil was Of a radically diff
ferent type, or where others equally
variable factors entered in.
In the case of the one-day, two-day
and three-day schools, which will be
conducted by county agents and ex-
tension specialists, cooperating with
the local farm bureaus, all such topics
will be approached from the stand
point Of the general principles under
lying soil management, the rational
feeding Of live stock, and so on, so
that hearers can apply the informa-
ton given to their own needs without
any fear that 1t will breed trouble for
them. The schools will be open to all
who would attend. Institutes will,
however, be conducted In few places,
though where they are arranged for
they will be patterned after the
schools.

Freight Rate Raise Allowed.

The Michigan railroad commission
has acted on the increase in class
freight rates asked by the carriers.
The decision makes an increase OF
practically 20 per cent in the territory
south of line drawn from Muskegon
to Bay City, and "a per cent north Of
that line, to the tip of the southern
peninsula.
The carriers had asked for a divi,.
sion of the state into four zones.
The commission merges the four
zones in two and permits the increase
asked by the carriers for the lower
zone of Is per cent, plus per cent,
but eliminates the second zone and
makes the increase apply to all points
south of the Saginaw line. 1t also cuts
the two upper zones into one and per-
mits an increase in the resultant one
zone of per cent over the lower part
of the state.
The mileage system of computation
is retained. The rate to points south
of the Michigan Central is higher than
the roads asked, but north Of this the
rate is lower than was asked.

Lansing.

It now takes $4,000, 900 a month to
pay the bills at Camp Custer.
This $2,500,000 includes the payroll
and most of the supplies, though 1t
does not include all of the latter, as
much material essential to the main
tenance of the division is obtained by
requisition from other cantonments.
Every cent of this big expenditure
has to go through the hands of the
camp quartermaster, Major M. M.
Garrett. Naturally Major Garrett does
not look after the details. He has an
efficient staff and an abundant clerical
force, though for the sake of safe
guarding himself, he must keep close
check on each fund.
Paying off the selects and officers at
Camp Custer is no boys job, accord
ing to Captain Brooks, paymaster. In
the old army days, paymaster had
usually not more than three regiments
to look after and the companies in
these regiments did not number $50
ion there are four infantry regiments
alone, to say nothing Of machine gun
battalions, heavy and light artillery,
engineers, depot brigade, a motley
array of trains, etc.
Even if the payroll were a normal
affair it would stagger an oldtime pay
master to be suddenly set before this
new task.
But that is not all. There are Ii
berty bond deductions to make, war
risk insurance allotments to be figur-
err and divisions to be made between
money for the soldiers and money
which they have delegated shall be
sent to their dependents.

state Troops Camp Run cheaply.

The management of the food supply
of the state military post east of Lans
ing, where the permanent forces Of
the state troops are located, is unique.
From the economy point of observa-
ton. this unit is unequaled. Last sum-
mer when the farmers In this vicinity
were harvesting their fruits and per-
ishable vegetables, special members
Of the constabulary qualified to buy
farm products were detailed to scour
the country and bargain for the winter
supply for the post. These men car
ried on their purchasing Ia success
full manner to both the farmers and
the state treasury.
Thousands OF dollars worth OF per-
ishable products were bought by the
military authorities and canned for
winter use.
Potatoes were bought by the hun.
dred busher" and stored in a pit and
dug up as necessity demanded. Like
wise vegetables were put in root cell
lars.
The military piggery is furnishing
pork to the entire post. Garbage from
l25 men takes care of the swine and
the piggery is successful financially.
However, in spite OF the out-of-the
rdinary food, the constabulary observe
meatless and wheatless days the same
as the folks at home.
The post has constructed an efficient
water aqueduct leading from the Michi-
a.
distance OF some 300 yards. This bit
Of engineering was supervised and
planned by Capt. Koch, and the labor
supply was furnished by the men Of
his troop.

just what extent bean diseases are
