FRUIT MEN SAID TO
FACE GRAPE ROT LOSS

East Lansing, July 13.-Grape
Black Rot is all set to infect the
Michigan crop this year, and fruit
from the farm. After producing his
ther occurs in the latter part of
July, according to G. H. Coons, plant
pathologist at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College.
"Recent field work in South-W est
ern Michigan shows us that Grape
Black Rot may be serious this
year." says Coons. Especial atten-
tion must be given to timely and
thorough spraying if loss is to be
kept down. Control of Black Rot is
accomplished by use of Bordeaux
mixture. To, be most effective this
should be applied before a rainy spell,
rather than after it. The disease
spready during wet, muggy weather,
and the spray should be put on to
protect the crop during the danger

WILCOX LOSES FORD RACING
TITLE TO HEUBER AT 0WOSSO

Bob Wilcox, for two years state
champion of Ford racers, lost his
title Saturday to "Red" Heubner of
Saginaw, due to an accident to his
car which put him out of the race.
Bob and Heubner had gone neck
and neck for nine laps in the race,
and in the tenth, with Heubner a
trifle in the lead, but Bob gaining so
fast that it was expected he would
overtake his rival in a short time, a
valve in his car broke. Before he
could stop the car, the engine was
irreparably damaged, and Bob was
put out of the race. The accident
to the engine will put Bob out of all
racing for some time now, for he
must build an entirely new motor
for his car.
Heubner won two other races Sat-
urday besides the one he took from
Bob, and was as a result, the high
winner of the day. In the time trials
he came in first with Bob second and
also won the second elimination trial
for Fords.
Due to what the drivers called a
rougher and narrower track, the
races here were not as fast as those
in Saginaw the week preceding. In
all Is cars started in the races with
crowd of 5000 attending.

GARDEN NOTES

Quality in vegetables depends
largely upon their being used while
strictly fresh. Chemists tell us that
sweet corn loses so per cent of its
sugar content within four hours af-
ter it has been removed from the
stalk.
Corn, beans, peas and all other
vegetables used for canning, dry
ing, or table use, should be prepared
as soon as possible after they are
gathered, if vegetables of high
quality are desired.
Make your garden work all sum-
mer by sowing succession of crops.
Succession crops are valuable be-
cause they furnish a supply of fresh
vegetables for fall and winter use.
Try these for planting now in
the spaces where the early short
season crops have been grown: Bush
beans, turnip beets, lettuce, summer
radishes, winter radishes, kohl-rabi
rutabaga, turnip, and chinese or eel
cry cabbage.
There is still time to SOW seeds
of perennial Towering plants. Make
the soil in which they are grown very
fine and keep it cool and moist by
shading and frequent watering.

MALLEABLES. ESTEY A ID
WOODARD FACTORlES
INCLUDED.
BETTER BUSINESS CONDITIONS
GENERALLY CAUSE INCREASES

Increases in working forces anu
length of working hours by three
Owosso factories within the past week
have caused the industrial SITUATION
here to brighten considerably.
The Estey Manufacturing Com
pany opened up Monday morning
with force 85 percent OF norman
and on a full 55 hour week basis.
Coming after the furniture exnlpits
in Grand Rapids, where the local
firm received a good quantity of ord
'ers. officials report that conditions
seem sufficiently frightened in the
furniture market generally, so that
the increase in working forces may
be considered permanent if conditions
in the future justify the present IN
dications. Full working forces are
anticipated if orders continue to come
in at the present rate.
The Furniture show in Grand kap-
ids also benefited the Woodard Furp-
ture factory to the extent that the
concern has begun operation on It's
old SIS hour week basis. In ADDITION
men have been taken on who have
been laid off for some time in the
past and the company expects to be
able to take on more from time to
time, as conditions improve. Inc
full force of employees will be soon
reached if conditions continue to I'M
prove, according to the factory Of
ficials.
Announcement was made Monday
by the American Malleables company
that one furnace had already been
opened up, causing employment for
$50 men and that another would be-
gin that day. This makes the num-
ber Of men now employed by the
factory, 800.
Superintendent Mullaney said that
IL orders continued to, come in FOL
a short time more as they have fol
the past week, that the third furnace
would be started, and normal oper'
ating force would be put into opera
ton. The recent. increases in busi
ness have come from the Buick plant
which is reported to have an encour
aging supply of orders on hand ane
is increasing materially its produc
ton. The local plant furnishes sew
eral parts for the Buick car.

BONDING ISSUE FOR
new SCHOOLS AGAIN
VOTED DOWN, @6=470
w. A. SeeSmiller and w. T.. Hall
Elected Trustees From Field
of Candidates.
STORMIEST MEETING In
YEARS FOLLOWS VOTING

Once again the people Of Owosso
failed to vote themselves schools which
would be credit to the city when the
the bonding proposition for $500, 900
to build new schools was turned down
at the polls Monday by vote 636 to 470.
Two new members fur the school
board were voted on at the same time,
resulting in the electiea of w. A. Seeg-
miller and W. E. Hall, who succeeds
himself. The vote for members of the
board was as follows: SeegmilIer, 424;
Hall, 39S; BRANDED, 270; L q. Parker,
25S; Frank Sutfin, 23S; Neil Hansen,
21O; Vincent Wall, 1914; Frank Meyers,
174; Julius Kebler, /.
Following the voting, the stormiest
school meeting for many years was
held, in which many things we're dis
cussed, some with heated arguments,
and few things were accomplished.
The first argument started on the
inclusion in the budget Of $1,000 to
provide salary for q school nurse.
Many thought this amount insufficient
to obtain good nurse qualified to fill
the position. A motion was introduced
to add $500 to the budget to provide for
$4,000 salary for the nurse. After q
lengthy argument this motion was
withdrawn and another substituted
reading that $500 be added to the
teachers salary appropriation to be
used for the hiring Of nurse il nee.
esssry.
This motion, after much discussion
was withdrawn, and in its place a
motion was put to the effect that $500
be added to the Teachers salary appro.
priations, which was passed unani.
mously.
At this time the announcement was
made unofficially at the meeting that
the bonding proposition had failed to
pass A motion was Immediately mad q
that the budget include 500, 900 for the
purpose Of building two grade schools,
one in the fifth ward and one in the
third ward. This motion was made tc
start discussion of the question and
opened the way to some lively argu
ments which at times verged on the
personal. The motion was finally with.
drawn.
Following this, motion to employ q
school nurse next year was carried

question.
Then followed the discussion OF, what
to do, since the bonding proposition
had been defeated. Various members
of the losrd and men present at the
meeting spoke at length of the disgrace
full condition Of our schools at the
present time, and the imperative need
of new ones. Various motions were
offered on the question with the result
that finally motion was cai airied, re-
questing the board TO obtain estimates
and specifications for two four room
ward buildings. and then submit the
proposition to the people. The motion
was carried
