Julian butcher, 76, died at his

rage on December II, 1866, he set
tied on a farm that was mostly will
derness and cleared the place, turn
ing it into valuable piece of prop
erty. Eighteen years after his mar
riage he and his family moved to
Owosso.
On December IL, 1916, Mr.. and Mrs
butcher rounded out so years of a
happy married life, celebrating their
golden anniversary with their chill

ASK MICH. FARMERS
TO RAISE MORE RYE

Not more wheat, but more rye is
what the government is asking of the
farmers of Michigan for next season,
according to the department of farm
crops of M. A. C. The farm crops Of
flee of the college is in receipt of a
communication from the United States
department of agriculture suggesting
that Michigan grain growers increase
their rye acreage about 20 per cent
this fall and plant only the same
amount of winter wheat as was put
in a year ago. Other states can pro-
.duce the wheat, it is explained, but
Michigan is outstandingly superior
as a producer Of rye.
Plans for an increased acreage Of
rye are of necessity influenced by
plans for the wheat CROP" the state
ment from Washington declares, "for
the two crops come into immediate
competition in their labor demands.
Larger winter wheat acreages are ac-
cordingly not suggested for Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Da-
kota because Of the heavy increases
in rye asked for from these states.
Inasmuch as rye is being largely
used as substitute for wheat as a
bread grain, the sowing of rye instead
of wheat where conditions are more
favorable for rye will materially in
crease the total food production"
Farms putting in rye this fall are
urged by M. A. G. to secure seed of the
variety known as Rosen. This is a
superior strain which in many sec
tions of the state has almost doubled
common rye in its yields.
