May Not Have
Tax Sessions
Sleeper Holds Up Calls To Legis-
lators Which We're To Go Out

Lansing, April 10.-Gov. Albert E.
Sleeper has held up the call for the spe-
cial session. The call was ready, signed
and about to be sent out Thursday
evening when the governor went back
to the "off agin, on agin, Finnegan"
policy and ordered that the call be not
sent.
Friday it was reported he had said to
several persons in the capitol that the
special session would not be summoned
and gave as his reason that it had been
found to be physical impossibility to
obtain the data for an equalization of
the valuations this summer.
This is not in accord with the ideas
of members of the state board of tax
commissioners who have already begun
on the work and have said that with a
little extra help they felt certain they
could get ready for the meeting of the
state board of equalization if the legis-
lature paved the way by providing the
necessary machinery.
There is no question that move
ment already was on foot to go into the
case of State Labor Commissioner
Richard H. Fletcher. 1t had been prom
ised, too, that the Newberry case would
not be permitted to pass unnoticed.
Clerk Charles Pierce of the house
and Secretary Dennis l.. Award of the
senate had been asked and had sup
piled the governor with mailing lis,
of the members to be used in sending
out the call. The call was issued and
signed and was about to be mailed
when the word was passed from the
executive office to hold it up. The
governors own statement was that the
call had been held up pending decis
ion today.

FARM BUREAU NEWS

Mr.. Ezra Levin, Specialist in Muck
Soils, will spend the 10th and 18th of
April with the County Agent looking
up the possibilities of Charlevoix Coun-
tvs muck beds. Muck has been giving
some wonderful results applied to up
lands after having been composted with
manure and we believe many of our
muck beds can be turned into regular
fertilizer mines. The schedule will be:
the Charlevoix Community for the 10th;
East Jordan Community for the 18th
ending with meeting at the Deer Lake
Grange Hall, Saturday evening. If you
need MIR. Levin's assistance get in
touch with the County Agent at once
and he can tell you where you can
meet him.
Those interested in sheep will take
notice that Mr.. Williams, Sheep Special
ist, will be in the County April 10Th
and 30th. Demonstrations in castrat-
ing and docking will be given at var
ieus places through the county. The
exact dates and time to be announced
later. Remember the dates and plan
to take advantage of Mr.. Williams as
sistance.
We are pleased to note that some
seven or eight carloads of acid phos-
phate has been brought into the county
and sold this spring 1t certainly has
been giving the results on our soils.
The amount of Grimm alfalfa seed
being bought by our farmers this spring
shows that they appreciate the value
of the hardy varieties.
The high price of potatoes this spring
will be an inducement to plant poor
seed. But at any price, we cannot rec
comend anything but the best Petoskey
Golden Russet seed for the main crop,
This variety of potatoes is making q
reputation for itself on the potato mar.
ket and we believe in another year il
will comand nice premium over com
mon stock.

the fungi according to the condition of
the weather) from the time the first
leaf buds open until the fruit has been
harvested, and even after the fruit is
in the barrels the scab spots may en-
large. Inasmuch as in ordinary seasons
a thorough application Of lime-sulphur
solution to the leaves and fruit will pro-
tect them from attack for only two
weeks or possibly three or four weeks
if the weather is dry it is necessary
that the first application be made as
soon as any green growth shows on the
trees, and that the treatment be re-
peated every two or three weeks until
the first of August, or even the middle
of August in wet seasons. This treat
ment will hold the apple scab in check.
Pear scab is nearly related disease,
and the same treatment holds good.
What is known as the pre-pink spray
or early cluster spray, should not be
omitted. Use one gallon of lime-sul-
phur to forty gallons of water and re-
peat in ten or twelve days if the buds
have not opened.

UNSPRAYED ORCHARDS
SHOW PRODUCTION LOSS
Apple Scab and Other Diseases
Rob Growers of Profits

East Lansing, April 12-"Unsprayed
apple trees often fail to bear, and if
they do produce crop it is small in
quantity and low in quality" say L. R.
Taft, state inspector of orchards, Mich
igan Agricultural College. Michigan
growers are getting from Is to so BUSH
els per tree from sprayed orchards, and
the apples are bringing from $3.50 to
$3.50 bushel. This chance for profits
under the present high prices is lost to
the man who does not spray his trees" I"
The difference in production is said
to be due to the fact that spraying
keeps the leaves healthy, enables the
tree to form large fruit spurs, and pre-
vents the attack of apple scab and
other diseases.
Apple scab is most prevalent in wet
seasons, according to Mr.. Taft, as the
spores require water for termination.
Serious losses from this disease often
occur even when the trees are sprayed,
due to the fact that at some time DUR
ing the season too long period has
been allowed between sprayings.
There is danger from the attack of

BANKERS SUPPORTING
DAIRY CATTLE MEN
Berrien Co. Guernsey Breeders
Plan Purchase of Purebreds

East Lansing, April 12th-Financial
backing for dairy men who wish to
build up their industry through the in
PRODUCTION of purebred foundation stock
has been guaranteed in at least one
Michigan county. AT recent meeting
of Guerney breeders in Berrien County
the First National Bank of Watervliet
went on record as ready to loan up to
$500 to men who want to purchase
purebred Guernsey stock.
Berrien is already one of the leading
Guernsey counties of the whole middle
west, and the plans now call for the
importation of at least 100 additional
head of purebred females. This found
alton stock is expected to give tre-
mendous boost to the industry in this
section of the state.
There is no better way to develop
the livestock interests of the state than
on the cooperative cummunity baeis,"
says j. A. Waldron Dairy Extension
Specialist at the Michigan Agricultural
College. Cooperative purchase of
foundation stock (as the Berrien County
breeders are planning at present) ;pur-
chasing and interchanging of high-class
tried sires; cooperative marketing of
dairy products; and advertising and
marketing of surplus cattle, are among
the possibilities of community work.
"The outlook for purebred cattle
breeders Of the state is unusually bright
at the present time. Present conditions
in the dairy industry demand that pro-
ducers use the most efficient machines
possible, and the demand for high class
stock is certain to increase.

Disagreeable
Facts
Michigan Stands Thirtieth In
Educational Costs

Michigan is first of all the states in
the manufacture of automobiles, in the
production Of peppermint and white
beans; second in the annual production
of iron ore, potatoes, sugar beets, and
rye; third in the annual production of
copper; sixth in apples, tenth in win
ter wheat; seventeenth in corn; THIR-
TIETH in the amount spent daily for
each child in school.
Michigan spends $40 for every child
educated, Ohio spends $50.
Michigan pays $S43 for salary OF
teachers, California pays $1,000.
Michigan pays $14OO for salary OF
commissioner of schools, Ohio pays
$1,000.
The child educated in graded dis
trict has $57.04 spent on his education
each year, the child in the ungraded
district has $30.57 spent on him.
WHAT SALARY SHOULD TEACHERS
RECEIVE?
Superinteudents and school boards
are sometimes at loss to know what
is just salary for teachers. Here is a
method for determining an answer to
the question suggested by the Salary
Committee of the M. S. T.
Determine the cost in your town of
board and rooms for twelve months.
To this add liberal amount for cloth
ing, laundry, car fare, etc. Add to this
$500 for savings, care of dependents,
professional growth, sickness, etc. The
final sum represents the minimum
wage that teacher should receive.
CONSERVING OUR RESOURCES
The courts of Michigan have held
that: A boys feet are worth $50, 900,
one eye is worth $1,000, hand is worth
$500, an arm is worth $500, leg is
worth 5000.
On this basis one may estimate rougly
the value of boy physically. In Mich
igan there are $4,000 boys and girls OF
school age. Their value far exceeds
that OF any other single interest. Yet
we are expending only s35 child for
educating them! Is that economy?

and every citizen interested in schools;
in fact every citizen who feels that he
pays too great a school tax ought to see

school taxes in the state of Michigan
will become equalized. This is the only
possible solution of the serious tax
problem in district where the taxes are
too high:
