CURIoSIDADES DE LA
GUERRA.

La Guerra Europea ha sacado a
la luz de una manera positiva el
yalor del aceite de higado de ba-
calao como un elemento nutritivo
productor de flerzas y resisten-
cia. Cuando escaseaban alimen,
tos y medicinas en- Alelnania. esta
potencia mando a Noruega agen-
tes para acaparar la production
total de aquel aceite. Convened
da 1nglaterra de 10 valioso de es-
te elemento de subsistencia que su
.enemigo tan cautelosamente apro-
vechaba, ell ano siguiente mando
sus agentes a Noruega y contra
to a precios fabulosos todo el
abasto para uso de las tropas
Aliadas. Ese es I'm verdadero
tribute al gran valor de aquel se-~
cioso aceite y motive por que hui
DO que pagar precios fabulosos
por el para continuar elaborando

COUNTY FARM
BUREAU NOTES

Answers to the circular letter, recent
ly mailed to all the farmers in the coun
ty, are coming in rapidly and we are
getting some valuable information,
especially in regard to supplies of home
grown seed and registered live stock
Lime, incubation, drainage, fertility
and hardy seeds are the essentials for
success with alfalfa.
The County Agent and Prof. Don
Whelan, the grasshopper man, will
make trip through Hudson, Chandler
and Melrose townships Wednesday
May 14th. Each farmer in these town.
ships will be mailed a letter announc.
ing schedule of meetings for that
date.
To all those interested in the treat.
ment of seed potatoes, bulletins on
same will be distributed thruout the
county in the near future.
OF course you will know when har-
vest comes whether the seeds you
planted were good or bad. But it's al.
most as easy to know before harvest.
Testing seeds is simple.
Demonstration tests are being ar.
ranged for the effect of commercial
fertilizer on oats, sunflower for silage
and corn variety test.
We wonder how many boys there are
in the county who would like to raise a
pure bred registered calf, if their bank
would help them in getting the money
to purchase it? If you would like to
try it boys, write to the County Agen
at Boyne City.
The early hatched, well developed
pullets begin laying in the fall and con-
tinue all winter if properly fed and
housed. The late hatched pullets are
boarders until spring. Hatch early.

CharlevOix
Woman browns
Was In Auto Which Fell Into
Channel.

Mrs. George Ross, Charlevoix woman
was drowned in the channel at Charlie
voix shortly before midnight Sunday
night when the automobile in which
she was riding fell into the channel
while the driver, Guy Olney, was at
tempting to stop the machine. The
swing bridge was just being closed
after allowing the steamer Kansas to
pass through.
Mrs. Ross had been a guest at the
Olney home and was being taken in the
car back to her own residence. Mr..
Olney says he did not notice that the
bridge was open until he had reached
point about forty feet from the en-
bankment. He applied the brakes and
the car skidded, turned half round and
toppled over backwards into the water.
Both people were thrown clear of the
car and out into the stream. Mr.. Olney
managed to keep afloat until rescued
but Mrs. Ross drifted in the current in.
to Round lake. UP to late hour Mon
day her body had not been recovered.
Mrs. Ross leaves a husband, four
children and her mother.

MOTHERS DAY
PROCLAMATION
(By the Governor.)


If ever there was time to yield hon.
age to the mothers of our land that time
is now. The spirit of devotion and sac
rifice and service they manifested dur
ing long months of cruel war is beyond
all praise. With aching hearts they gave
their sons to die, il need be, that our
cherished liberties might be preserved,
but they hid the ache and the pain and
went bravely and calmly about their al
lotted tasks. This year then of all years
when peace has come to bless the world
we should thankfully observe the day
that is especially marked in honor of
the mothers of America, living and
dead.
And LET us rejoice and weep with
those that weep. Many Michigan
mothers heart will sing with JOY as our
Michigan boys return from afar; and we
Joy with them in their JOY. There will
be many a mother too, alas, whose
heart will bridge the seas and journey
on to find dear grave in Flanders or
in France or in far Archangel, there to
place a wreath of loving remembrance
for the boy who will not come back;
and to these mourning mothers we ten
der our deepest sympathy, while we
sorrow with them in their sorrow.
Therefore, that we may pay special
tribute of affection to the mothers who
still live and honor the memory of those
who have gone from us, |, Albert E,
Sleeper, Governor of the State of Mich
igan, do hereby designate and set aside
Sunday, May 11th, next, as Mothers
day, and call upon our people, both
young and old, to gather in their sever
al places of worship and take part in
services appropriate to the day, and,
by the wearing of red flower for the
living mother and white for the dear
departed, to symbolic their love and
reverence for the mothers of the nation.
Let me suggest too that absent sons
and daughters take this occasion to
visit, if possible, the mother in the old
home, or, where such visit is impos-
sible, that they send message of cheer
and greeting. BY this may mothers
know that in the rush of affairs they
are not forgotten.
In accordance with resolution of the
congress of the United States, further
request the people of Michigan on the
day aforesaid to display the United
States flag in their homes and in other
suitable places, as fitting expression
of their desire to pay homage to Amer
lean motherhood.
ALBERT E. SLEEPER,
Governor.

DISEASES OF POTATO
CAUSING GREAT LOSS
From 10 to Is Per Cent of Mich.
igan Crop Can be Saved by
Easy Seed Treatment.

East Lansing, Mich, May 5th.-A loss
of from 10 to % per cent of Michigan S
potato crop has been suffered during
the last few years from preventable
diseases, declares Prof. G. II. Coons,
plant pathologist at M. A. c. Potato
Scab and Black Scurf (Rhizoctonia
diseases) are the two diseases causing
the most serious losses.
Easy and inexpensive treatment of
the seed can be relied on to control the
diseases in question, provided the pe-
tatoes are planted on soil which has not
been used for potatoes for three or four
years. The treatment consists essenti-
ally in soaking seed tubers in disinfec-
tant solution, formaldehyde and cor,
rosive subIimate being used.
The formaldehyde treatment is effec-
tive for Potato Scab but not for Black
Scurf. If the potatoes are sorted to get
rid of all that are infected with the
Black Scurf (which shows up in the
form of dirt-like blemishes on the skim
the formaldehyde treatment Is perfect
ly satisfactory. The seed should be
soaked for from Is minutes to an hour
and half in solution made with one
