ANOTHER LARGE
BUBBLE IN FORD.
NEWBERRY CASE
u. S. OFFICIAL TO VISIT IONIA
TO TAKE COUNTY BALLOTS
TO WASHINGTON

Another big bubble is being inflated
at the present time by the govern
ment officials in connection with the
famous Ford-NewbeTry force, this
time the action being a general re-
count of all the ballots cast in the
state at the election in November
1918, to determine whether Hank
Ford or Trum Newberry got the most
votes emitting him to the seat in the
United States Senate which has been
a bone of contention ever since the
ballots were cast-and for some time
before that.
For the purpose of gathering up
the ballots. United States officer,
Sergeant David s. Barry, of the sem
ate, will be in Ionia at the County
Clerks office, court house, between
the hours of 10 o'clock in the morn
ing and o'clock in the afternoon of
Wednesday, May to secure the bal
lots and get them back to Washing
ton where the recount will be carried
out, possibly with Truman II. New
berry, winner in the race, now hold

victed Of a violation of a Federal
election law, looking on and wonder
ing what move the people in Mr..
Henry Ford's camp are going to make
next to get him, out, for Truman ev-
identity don't intend to get out-such
prizes as he has cost too much money
to let go Of right away.
1t makes very little difference
whether Hank or Trum holds the
Office, the country will steam along
some way but the administration is
going to spend some more of the
peoples money on the big recount and
that is why the ballots are going to
Washington. A representative Of
Ford and Newberry will be present
at Ionia when the ballots, poll books.

When the bubble bursts, perhaps
we will all be just as far ahead as we
were after Mr.. Newberry had been

BIGGER YIELDS
MUST MEET THE
LABOR SHORTAGE
HIGH COSTS FORCE FARMER TO
INCREASE PER ACRE
PRODUCTION

The unprecedented shortage of
farm labor and the extremely high
prices which must be paid to hold
help of any kind are forcing a great
many Michigan farmers to change
their cropping plans in order to get
bigger yields from fewer acres, de-
clares Prof. J. F. Cox, Head of the
Farm Crops Department at the Mich
gan Agriculture College, Lansing.
Many farmers are planning to
plant only as large acreage of culti-
waited crops as they and their families
can handle alone, without depending
greatly on outside help, says Prof.
Cox. "There will be much greater
acreage in small grains, which are
machine handled crops and a much
more extensive acreage in clover, al
falfa, and timothy than has been the
case for for a number of years.
"More per acre is needed to offset
the increased labor cost Fixed costs,
such as interest on land, cost of
plowing, cultivation. etc. are much
the same for small crop as for a
large crop. Under present conditions
smaller acreage Of cultivated crops
farmed in the most efficient manner
is the most practical way of meet
ing the labor situation.
early and thorough preparation of
the seed bed will greatly lessen later
cost of cultivation. The use of high
yielding varieties VIII also give add
ed return without extra cost Com
mcrcial fertilizers, properly used are
another means of increasing yield per
acre with but little increase in labor
"Under conditions where it is i'm
possible owing to labor shortage, to
farm the usual acreage, a special eff
fort should be made to seed down to
clover, alfalfa, or pasture grasses.
More land can be handled by graz
ing than where it is in grain or cult
ivated crops. 1t is also possible to
handle much large amount of corn
and a greater number of livestock
by hogging off corn or pasturing with
hoks or sheep in the field"

reward for the safe return of the
