TURAL PAPERS AND THE COUNTY AGENTS OFFICE

Farmers Should Not Plant Import.
ed Soy Bean Seed
There is sufficient supply OF
American-grown soy bean seed OF
proved varieties to plant a greatly
increased acreage. The United
States Department of Agriculture
therefore, feels warranted in rec
ommending that farmers under NO
circumstances plant their fields to
imported soy bean seed.
The attention of the department
has been called to the presence on
the market of imported soy bean
seed for planting purposes. This is
exceedingly undesirable as the
varieties grown in oriental coun-
tries are very numerous, and the
majority Of the varieties are not
nearly so productive as those COM
monty grown in the United States.
The Department of Agriculture has
tested over 1000 introductions
from various parts of the Orient,
and the majority of these are much
inferior to the best varieties grown
in this country. Imported seed
usually is a mixture of varieties,
even if the seeds be apparently the
same.
In hn
sells his crop to the small town
buyer, who in turn sells the seed
collected from many growers to the
merchant at the nearest railway
point. All such seed is classed
merely as yellow. black. green, or
brown, no attention being given to
the numerous varieties having SINH
lar seeds. 1t will be seen readily
that the shipper at the seaport will
have considerable mixture of
varieties in the different color
groups. Quite recently from a small
package of imported yellow beans,
Is different sorts were selected by
seed characters.
Any farmer planting such seed is
taking an unwarranted risk, and
the chances are practically certain
he will have the experience report
ed by Massachusetts farmer who
planted a 4-pound package Of i'm
ported soy bean seed in 1920: 81
found that there was almost every
known variety of soy bean in that
package. At harvesting some were
dead ripe, others in all stages to
those that were just setting pods.
Some were low growing, and from
this all the way UP to those that
would have climbed 10-foot pole"

Kentucky Crop Report

Louisville, KY, Apr. 1.-THE
condition of wheat and rye in all
the principal farming sections of
Kentucky is unusually good; there
are s percent fewer brood sows in
the State than there were this time
'last year; and although the labor
supply is only s percent below nor
NAL the demand for farm labor is
13 percent below normal, according
to the April crop and livestock re-
port for Kentucky issued today by
the United States Bureau of crop
estimates in cooperation with State
Commissioner of Agriculture w. C..
Hanna. The condition of wheat in
Kentucky April l is given as 95
percent of normal compared to SO
percent April 1, 1920. and an aver
age condition of "a percent April /
during the last 10 years. Rye con-
dition in this State is 95 this month
compared to "a percent April last
81 percent April 1 for the last 10
years.
The acreage of wheat sowed in
Kentucky last fall was approximate
ly the same as that sowed in 1919
(625.00O acres) but rye was $4,000
acres compared to $4,000 acres
sowed in 1919. The mild weather
of this winter and spring has been
very favorable for small grains in
all parts of the State except In some
parts of the southeastern mountain
counties.
Farm labor is 10 percent more
plentiful than 1t was this time last
year. but still only 90 percent of
normal supply, as many farmers
cannot afford to pay the wages de-
manded by laborers. and farmers
report they have cut their demands
for labor II percent below last
years demands and IS percent be-
low normal. This is due to the
general slump in prices Of farm
pr oducts. particularly tobacco.
Farmers say in their reports that
unsatisfactory prices for farm prod

REPORT OF COUNTY NURSE

The inspection of school children
in this territory was completed this
month; the territory consists of six
townships. Forty-four rural schools
and four village schools were exam
ined. 1922 children are enrolled in
the schools of this territory. 1884
children were examined. 1914 chill
dren had defective teeth, 249 had de-
fective vision, 398 had defective ton
sils, II had defective hearing and 20
mental detectives were found in the
schools. (This does not include chill
dren who were mentally retarded, but
only those who were obviously mental
defectives.) Three orthopedic cases,
one club foot, and the other two
old infantile paralysis cases were
found which can be greatly helped by
surgery. One is now being cared for
at Ann Arbor and another is to be
taken care of by DR.. Manwaring, as
a clinic case. The third case has not
been disposed of as yet. Up to the
present time "a cases i'm my terri
tory have been brought to the Flint
clinic and had all defects corrected, :,
Five tonsil cases have been operated
and six children have had glasses pro-
vided by the Jr. Red Cross. One 9TH
er child has been hospitalized for
medical treatment. These correc-
tions have been attended to person
ally by the nurse, but until the re-
ports are in from the teachers at the
end of the school year, it will be diff
ficult to estimate how much correc-
tive work has been the actual result
of our school inspection this year.
A number of health talks have
been given in most of the schools and
many of the children are keeping
Health Chores" daily and in the
next year we feel that the Modern
Health Crusader will be popular with
many more of our children. Even
though they are not crusaders this
year, we feel that the tooth brush
has been introduced into many homes
as well as a better idea of proper
foods for children. But at present
there are only five hot lunch clubs
in this territory.

THRIFT THOUGHTS

You have the price which has
bought every bit of fame, fortune,
learning, power, that any man ever
possessed.
The price is the same for every
thing-the same to everyone.
Choose what you want!
The price of what you want is a
days work.
By paying certain number of
days work, Cecil Rhodes became (at
twenty-seven years of age) one of the
owners of the richest spot known on
earth-the diamond mines of South
Africa. From the time lie was seven
teen years old, he put in days work
during six months of the year as a
diamond digger in the mines; then
took his earnings and hurried to
Oxford College, where he put in a
days work during the remaining six
months as student.
BY paying a certain number Of
days work, John Keats (who was a
helper in his fathers livery stable,
and later a druggists clerk) bought
uSPthhCoo hdnC dS Olc VI Ine RTedL-
est of poets.
dorado Taft, the American sculp-
tor, takes a marble boulder and
shapes it into a magnificent statue
by days work.
Russell Sage earned few pennies.
which he made earn dollars, which he
made earn millions-by days work.
Incidence and idleness cost a man
the same price as wealth and an hon
ored name.
To buy idleness you must sacrifice
many days work-with these davis
work you could buy whatever you
were determined to buy.
The man who INDUCED in lavish
spending or in laziness yesterday,
knows today that they are not worth
the price they cost.
IL your neighbor is a well-to-do
man, and you have little-is he to
blame for your disappointment? He
bought property and capital with his
days work while you spent yours
Tor trifles.

POMONA GRANGE

The Genesee County Pomona
Grange meeting, held Friday after
non, was so good that the ones who
were not there missed something
worth while. The Grange appre-
ciates the help given by different
ones. Mrs. A. Lee gave a very prac-
teal talk on child welfare and Miss
Gamble, the county nurse, explained
her work. She would like the hearty
cooperation of the parents to keep
the children well by proper food and
care. Mrs. l.. III. Campbell, Of M. A.
c., is State Instructor in Home Econ
omics. She delighted the audience
and held them in close attention for
over an hour. And many after COM
ments were, Wasn't she just finer"
We, as parents, have missed much;
could have been better home makers
and our families stronger and
healthier by the right food and elm
mating the unnecessary, by knowing
how. The younger generation cer-
tainly have a wonderful opportunity.

pecially a solo by Miss Fleming, and
songs by fifth grade.

OBITUARY
Murphy

Madison Murphy, son of Nathaniel
and Elizabeth Murphy, was born on
January 15, 1887, at-Seneca Falls, N.
Y. He came to Arbela, Tuscola Co.,
in 1856, and had lived there most
OF the time since, coming to Genesee
County in 1914. He passed to the
other side on May End, 1921, aged
"a years, 3 months and II days, his
death occurring at his home near
Goodrich. He was married at Ty-
rome, in October 1862, to Mary Isa-
bel Cranston, and to this union were
born four children, three of whom sur
vive: Alva L., of Flint; Minor d.,
of Auburn, Washington, and Mrs.
Myrtle Sargent of Birch Run. His
wife was called away in April 1878,
and on June 8, 1879, he was united
in marriage to Luna v. Hosmer.
They were blessed with seven chill
dren, four of whom are living: Wilbur
r. of Port Huron; Floyd w. of Flint,
Mrs. Viola Stuart of Arbela, and
Grant M. at home. Besides his wife
and the children named above de-
ceased left twenty grandchildren and
ten great grandchildren. He was
converted when 81 years old and
Joined the M. E. Church and remained
consistent member of that church,
until about 1900, when he heard and
accepted the Bible Teaching as in
terpreted by the l. B. S A. In the
light and knowledge thus received
he continued to walk and rejoice to
the end. The funeral was held at the
Arbela school house on Wednesday,
at 1880 p. m. with burial in Pine
Grove cemetery. Mr.. DIETRICH of
Flint conducted the service, using as
a basis of his remarks text suggest
ed by the deceased: Prov. 4-18, "The
Path of the Just is as Shining Light,
Which Shineth More and More, unto
the Perfect Day."
A devoted husband, a loving
father, true friend and a Christian
gentleman, has gone to dwell with the
Lord he loved and served.

Ors who served during the World War
have not made out the official War
Record Blanks that were furnished
them some time ago. 1t also appears
that unless the information called

FROST INJURIES SMALL FRUIT

From what we consider reliable
sources we are informed that the re-
cent frost did very great injury to the
strawberries and most other small
fruits. Strawberries in this locality
will in all probability be less than
half a crop, while there will be very
few plums and cherries. Pears, here
Al. about, have apparently come through
most other fruits with the exception
of apples. The latter promise to be
as good a crop as they were last sea-
been a very good crop. Raspberries
were not sufficiently advanced to be
injured by the frost.

While playing in a wood lot at
tached to the farm of Tucker Bros,
of West Vienna, last Sunday, some
small boys are thought to have start
ed a fire that destroyed about twenty
rods Of stump fence and about two
acres of growing rye. 1t required
the utmost efforts Of Tucker Bros.
and several of their neighbors dur
ing the afternoon and practically all
of the night to keep the fire from
doing still greater damage. Boys
should not start fires in the woods
or elsewhere in country in a dry time
