FARM BUREAU NOTES
A Chance for Demonstration

Just now this office received letter
from Leo NJ. Geismar, County Agrl-
cultural Agent of Houghton county.
Michigan, in which he calls attention
to the fine results the potato growers
of the county secured last year from
the use of arsenate of lime in con-
trolling the common potato bug. He
reports that the results from "a dem
constructions in his county last year
show that the arsenate of lime adheres
to leaves as we'll and longer than ar
senate of lead. that it kills the insects
much faster than either Paris green
or arsenate of lead, and that excessive
amounts which might be used by
mistake will cause no injury.
This office is not urging any grow
er to use this material, although the
cost will be much less than arsenate
of lead However, there is a chance
to try this out in a small way and
perhaps learn something very valu-
able about the control of the potato
beetle. We will be glad to arrange
for demonstration work with this
material, as compared to arsenate of
lead and Paris green, with any inter-
ested potato grower.

1915; this is the act that classes
houses of ill-fame and public resorts
for immoral purposes, as nuisances,
and permits by proceedings in the
Chancery Court, the abatement or
seizure of the offensive property; by
the amendment coming through from
the Senate, automobiles used in the
business of violating our prohibition
laws, as well as all other vehicles,
will be seized, locked up, declared
nuisances, and then disposed of as the
Court sees fit under the act. So much
misconception of the terms of this
new legislation has went out into the
state, that | thought it best to give
the facts in this letter.

What Variety of Late Potatoes?

This question is being asked often
Some of the best late potato growers
of the county consider the late Peto,
skey the best late variety, everything
considered. Although all growers dc
not agree to this, after a little think
ing most growers will agree that toe
many varieties are being grown.
The potato growers of Northern
Michigan have marketed their crops
of potatoes to much better advantage
this year than they have ever been
able to before. About 5000 of them
have marketed comparatively. They
have been able to do this, as all are
growing the same variety (Late Peto-
skey.
The first essential in cooperative
is standard product which
can be sold in car lots. This means
one variety and one grade of potatoes
where potatoes are concerned. Where
the crop is marketed through local
dealers. as is most of the Van Buren,
crop, the dealer can afford to pay
more, if all the potatoes from given
are of one variety and
grade, as he can sell to better advan-
tage than where potatoes of all sorts
sizes and shapes are dumped in a car.
The Farm Bureau office is anxious
to see farmers get every cent possible
out of their crops, and to do this with
potatoes, it seems necessary to make
standard in the county not more, at

The following lines were written by
Sergeant ROdger 5. Clark, soldier
with the American army i'm Russia,
and sent to Mr.. and Mrs. James
Raymond by their son, Earl, who
is also a soldier i'm that far away
land. The lines are entitled, "The
Creation of Russia, and the senti-
ment expressed is undoubtedly en-
dOrsed by all American boys on
Russian soil. In other words, "there
is more truth than poetry" in the
verses of Sergeant Clark.
When the Lord was designing Gre
alton
And laying out Oceans and Lands
With never an hours relaxation
Nor moment to spit on His hands
AS anyone will in a hurry
He let things get by now and then
In all the excitement and worry
That He should have done over again.
So rather than mess up the outfit
He saved every blunder and blob
And laid it aside in corner
To use at the end of the Job.
And the sixth afternoon Of the Con-
tract
His bonus expiring that day
He bailed out the dregs of Creation
And shovelled the litter away.
And scrapped all the wreckage and
tailings
And the sewage and scum of the sump
And He made on the Shores of the
Artic
A great international Dump.
He rushed the thing through in a
hurry
And because of the rush He was in
He named the locality Russia
And Russia it always has been.
