FIND FERTILIZERS PAY
IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN

East Lansing, Mich, Mar. ia re-
port received from the upper penin-
sula by the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege has brought out the fact that ferti-
lizers can be used with profit in some
OF the districts north of the straits. One
demonstration, conducted on the
county farm, in Ontonagon County, in
1918 effected an increase in the hay
crop amounting almost to 100 per cent.
In the Ontonagon demonstration, the
report sets forth, 300 pounds of acid
phosphate were broadcast by hand
after the oats were planted in 1917. The
crop ripened earlier and increased in
yield. In 1918, the one-third acre to
which the fertilizer had been applied
yielded ZOOS pounds of hay. A similar
one-third acre to which no phosphate
was applied, gave only 1920 pounds Of
hay. The profit on the investment in
fertilizer in this particular project was
$34. 4.35. -.ss. ,.--
The demonstration was conducted as
part of the agricultural extension work
being done in the upper peninsula by
M. A. c. and the county agricultural
agents.

In the commission proceedings of
Feb. %, there appeared motion to re-
fund to the East Jordan Cabinet Co.
the sum of $340 on account Of an ex-
cessive tax assessment due to an error
in filling out the assessing blank.
The motion was carefully worded so
as to leave no doubt as to who made
the error, and yet some one seems to
have obtained the erroneous impress
sion that the city assessor was at fault.
For the benefit of those who do not
know, we wish to say that the party to
be assessed and not the assessor fills
out the assessing blank.

May L. Stewart. Commissioner

The bulletins oil the study of Colum-
bus were received by the commissioner
the 18th inst. They were mailed to all
teachers having eighth grade pupils on
Friday the 14th. II the class enroll
ment is changed since figures were
sent to this office or il sixth, seventh,
and eighth grades are all studying the
poem each teacher may at request re-
ceive enough more to supply every
pupil. They are furnished by the state
and are free to the county.
The state director of Thrift work in
the schools has written that he noticed
in the Moderator Topics that the
schools of Charlevoix County are or
ganized by townships for school fairs,
and final contests. He asks Cant
you somehow work in Thrift contest
on per capita basis? Please let me
know IL you can do this?
Pupils should show their double
interest in school and county fair now.
All who afe not absent or tardy for the
last three months of school and who
are reported by the teacher at close Of
school year will receive complimentary
tickets to the County Fair.
Busy work in the days of long ago
meant anything to keep children busy.
Paper chains, sewing cards, clay to
play with, or doll to dress and un-
dress. School boards in those days
thought it was useless to invest in any
supplies and to large extent they
were right. Nearly all simple amuse-
ments could be found without expense
to the district. However since the
days of normal training a new era has
arrived. The child makes few chains
now merely to train his fingers; he
makes few odd mats, and perhaps oc-
casionally has his toys at school: but
most of all he learns by means of his
fingers. The skillful teacher designs
the chain work to teach colors, plans
the mat work to show designs and
form, provides clay in order to test the
understanding of the objects of the
reading lesson. The wise school board
stands back of her in buying for her
toymoney and helping her to obtain a
toy grocery store in order to teach
shopping while the child is still very
young. The teacher will need scissors
for paper cutting-not foolish play work
but wisely directed interests to test
accuracy, to indicate form and assist
Imagination in its course. She will
need carbon for tracing, paste for con-
struction work, pegs and peg board for
numbers, color, and form. She will
need letter cards for sound drills,
family cards for groups of sounds to
systematic the sound drills, word
cards for composing sentences for seat
work, sentence and question cards for
puzzle work in teachers beginners and
first and second graders how to study
reading. Oh, the seat work is a big
problem and the biggest lesson child
has to learn is how to study. The
teachers biggest problem is to know
what is in the child's mind, and she
can know this only by assigning work
which the child can do, and which will
guide him in his work. If it is we'll
done, she knows what he has thought.
The wise school board buys what
teacher needs.

mo man who has recovered

the center of philosophy, at the
center of politics; in short, at the

East Jordan
$500" Debate
Local Team Champions of Nor
thern Half of State.

The name of East Jordan High School
will soon be familiar all over the state,
for we hold the championship of north
ern half of the state in debating since
our defeat of the 800" team Friday
night. The next debate is scheduled
for Ann Arbor in May, where we hope
to win the state championship from the
representatives from the southern half
of the state.
The 800" team represented the
Losers Contest, having won over all
other schools who were so unfortunate
as to lose out on the first debate. They
were a strong team, and it fell to them
by lot to support the side on which
East Jordan had won all previous de-
bates, the negative side. The contest
was close, but East Jordan's S affirmative
supported by Conard Hughes, Cert
rude Hockstad, and REQ Bockes, was too
well presented to be knocked down.
The 800" team was composed Of
Claude Markle, James Moore, and Clar-
ence Paquin. The judges were Supt.
Stead of Boyne City, Judge Bailey Of
Bellaire, and Judge Meggison of Gen.

Watch for Defamation Contest.
Be sure to spend the evening of Fri
day, Mar 2Sth, at the defamation con-
test at the high school. The contest is
worth attending for three reasons. In
the first place, you who have been in
terested in debating will want to see
for yourselves what excellent material
there is in reserve for the future
Again, you should know that this is a
most unusual contest. From thirty
three contestants of excellent ability,
the eight best are being chosen by a
series OF preliminary contests, so that
the quality of the public contest is
superior to any before presented in
East Jordan. Finally, remember that
TWO years ago our winner in declama-
ton, REQ Bockes, won over the whole
northern section of the state, and was
only defeated at the state contest. This
may be your only chance to hear our
winning defamation.
Only Freshmen and Sophomores are
allowed TO compete in this contest.
Those who are to take part in the
public contest will be announced Fri.

FEEDING WHOLE GRAIN
CAUSE OF FARM LOSSES

East Lansing, Mich, Mar 1.-THE
feeding of whole grain to cows,
practice much employed in some parts
of the state, is. a fruitful source of loss
to Michigan farmers, according toy the
experiment station of the Michigan
Agricultural college. A number OF
trials conducted recently by the expert
ment station have brought out the fact
that ii corn and oats are ground before
feeding to cows, much less will be lost
than if the grain is fed whole In the
case OF whole corn fed to cows, it was
found that p. IS percent passed through
the digestive tract without benefit to
the animal, while of whole corn and
oats, 26. 46 percent was wasted.
During the same experiment it was
learned that it seldom if ever pays to
feed ground grain to calves, but that it
sometimes pays to feed ground grain to
yearings. Where whole corn was fed
to calves, only 6.2S per cent of it was
lost, while with whole oats, only 2.9S
percent were lost OF whole corn fed
to yearlings, 1917 percent of it passed
through the digestive tract without be-
ing assimilsted.
The conclusion reached by the ex-
perimenters was that it always pays to
grind grain for old stock, that it some
times pays to grind corn for yearlings,
and that usually it does not pay to grind
corn or oats for calves.
There was also greater loss where
corn and oats were fed mixed to cows
than when either was fed alone.
