LOOK OUT FoR HOG CHOLERA.

There are at the present time few
cases of hog cholera in the county and
it is just the time of the year when
serious outbreaks are apt to occur
unless the farmers are doing their
part to prevent it.
Every precaution should be taken to
prevent this disease from getting a
start in any community and in case an
outbreak does occur the owner of the
herd should get in touch with his local
veterinarian or the Live Stock Sai,.-
tary' Agent.
These serious outbreaks of hog
cholera are due to neglect, either on
the part of the farmer in reporting the
disease or on the part Of the authori-
ties in throwing proper safeguards
around infected herds when they are
being handled. ,.,.r. ,.s
The control of hog cholera is very
largely a matter of education and it
is very rare, at this time, to find a
man who is not willing to do every
thing to prevent the spread of this
disease to neighboring herds. There
is occasionally a farmer who, for one
reason or another is ashamed to ad-
NIT that he has how cholera on his
farm and is willing to argue that the
particular disease affecting his hogs
is not hog cholera because it does not
take the particular form which he has
been told characterized the symptoms
of this disease. 1t is rather difficult
to get a farmer who takes this at
titude to see the danger he is subject
ing his neighbors to in not being will
ing to admit the truth of the situation
and act accordingly.
Competent veterinarians and other
authorities have found that hog chol-
era symptoms vary in different out
breaks. If an occasional case is
wrongly diagnosed by veterinarian,
it is not an indication that he does not
know anything about hog cholera.
The fact is, if he is veterinarian who
is trying to guard your interests and
finds animals which are at all suspi-
cious he should advise you to take all
the precautions necessary against an
out break of this disease and if you are
farmer who is interested in the we'll
fare of your own heard and the herds
of your neighbors you will follow the
veterinarians advice.
While we do not expect any serious
outbreak of this disease in the coun-
ty during the present season, the only
way to be ABSOLUTELY sure that an out
break does not occur is to use preven-
tative measures.
Report any condition in your own
herd or any herd in your neighborhood
which looks or sounds suspicious, and
cooperate with your neighbors, the
Live Stock Sanitary Agent and your
local veterinarian in campaign to
prevent hog cholera.
H. E. Dennison, County Agricultur-
al Agent, has been appointed Live
Stock Sanitary Agent in Shiawassee
county and any assistance he can give
in the way of advice or assistance in
handling this matter will be freely
given.

OWOSSO TOWNSHIP GRANGE

After disposing of the business and
routine work, the following topics
were discussed during the lecture
hours: "What Are Some of the Laws
Needed to Help Farmers ?" led by A.
B. Cook, who believes in laws to help
everybody, not especially the farmer;
however, he thinks the country dis
trict school system is away behind the
times and spoke favoyably for the bet
ter service of the centralized school.
A.. Wrigley also spoke of needed
laws to change the old school .sys-
tenn, believing it a very expensive
way, for a small school, as the teach
ers' wages are just as high as for a
large school, and expenses the same.
He also said he was glad that the
w. c. T. u. had taken up the destruc-
ton of the tobacco habit, as he consid-
ers it an unnecessary, expensive,
harmful, and dangerous habit, as so
many fires are caused by it, and a
great waste of some of our best lands,
that are used for the production of to-
bacco.
Others spoke of the discomforts
caused by the universal use of it, at
public places, to the non-users of the
weed, and asserted that they also had
some rights.
1t seemed to be the sentiment of the
grange that some legislation was
needed along this line.
w. S. Carson gave some very val
liable suggestions on, "How to Make
Our Homes More Beautiful at Small
Cost" and that it is not so mucn
architectural display and expensive
shrubs and flowers; but an eye for
true beauty, inside as well as outside
the home, and perfect contentment.
H. E. Dennison, secretary of the
farm bureau, spoke briefly on some o.
the workings and aims of the same.

NEW WHEAT DISEASES

Warning has just been sent out
from the Botany Department of the
Michigan Agricultural College that
two new wheat diseases, "Take-all"
and alag Smut, have been discover
ed in the United States within COM
paratively short time.
These diseases have been known in
Australia for long time and cause
yearly an enormous loss to wheat
growers in that country. Recently
they were discovered near st. Louis
in Illinois and as yet are confined al
most to that region. However, they
are already spreading, and the fact
that infected fields have been reported
just over the Michigan line in Indiana
makes it all the more necessary that
Michigan farmers take all necessary
precautions to prevent this getting a
foothold in this state.
Suspicious cases of Take-All have
already been reported in Michigan and
every effort is being bent to prevent
its getting a start.
DR.. Coons has recently made an in
vestigation of fields near st. Louis
and reports Take-all as the most de-
structive plant disease his has ever
seen. He reports a field of eighrs
acres of wheat rendered practically
worthless not only for the present
crop but for all future wheat, barley,
rye, and possibly oat crops.
Take-all is fungus root rot and is
the worst wheat disease known. 1t is
characterized by stunted growth of
plants and a sprawling on the ground
of the diseased stools. The plant takes
on the appearance of quack grass in
its habits of growth. Instead of pro-
ducing normal head the shoots are
replaced by why, spindling out
growths. The diseased parts become
discolored and rotted. A mahogany
brown color is characteristic.
Flag-smut has been found in only
one field and that, in the section of
Illinois where Take-all was prevalent.
Flag-smut is characterized by black
streaks along the leaves. There
should be no difficulty in recognizing
this trouble in field of grain.
Every farmer is urged to investi-
gate his fields and if there is any in
dication of either of these diseases,
further information should be sought
from the County Agricultural Agent
or from DR.. G. H. Coons of the Mich
igan Agricultural College.

RETURN TO NORMAL LAWS OF
TRADE

Washington, May, 20.-The Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
it's President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from its Washington Head
quarters:
"a real step toward a return to
normal times once more was taken
when the industrial board of the De-
partment of Commerce resigned in a
body. The board was an organization
conceived by Mr.. Redfield for the pur-
pose of artificially controlling and, if
possible, effecting reduction in the
prices of some of the basic materials
entering into manufacture of various
kinds. It has been popularity known
as the price fixing. beard and has en-
deavored to supplant the natural law
of supply and demand by the estab-
lishment of an artificial scale of values
that would be adhered to by producer
and consumer.
"Of course the plan came to naught.
The very first commodity that they
attacked was steel. Valiant efforts
were made to bring the railroads,
which are the greatest users of steel
products, into an agreement with the
steel producers on price, but without
the slightest success. Their inability
to produce results on the steel sched-
ule evidently convinced the members
of the board that nothing could be
done with such industries as coal, ce-
ment, lumber, etc. and they handed in
their designations.
with the dissolution of the board,
the natural forces of supply and de-
mand will be left to readjust prices
from war levels to those of peace.
The Director General of Railroads an
nounces that the roads will return to
the old system of competitive bidding
in placing their orders. Likewise 9TH
er big purchasers of raw materials will
feel free to go ahead with their pro-
grams, and get the best prices that
keen competition will give them, free
from the constant menace of int...
ference from the Federal authorities.
"The work of the price fixing board
is but one evidence of the stagnation
that inevitably results wherever bust
ness is made to feel the strangulation
of incompetent government instead of
the encouragement Of intelligent gov
eminent. What our big industries
chiefly want is to be freed from the
control of bureaucrats and permitted
to conduct their affairs in accordance
with the statutes. They have amply
demonstrated in the past their ability
to take care of themselves and fur
nish efficient service at a reasonable
price. The railroads, telegraphs, tele-
phones, and foodstuffs, in the prices
they have exacted from the public,
demonstrate that the moment the Fed
eral government enters into their op-
Grafton quality of service decreases
and prices go up with bound. AS
soon as the rest of the burden of Fed
eral control follows in the way of the
defunct price-fxing board we will wit
ness speedy return to our former
prosperity"
