that they should endeavor to make
such contracts with the manufacture
ers as they can. Although the report
is not specific II seems to advise
against continuance Of the strike be-
gun last spring.
The collective marketing plan, the
main inspiration of the beet growers
organization is abandoned so far as
the bureau is concerned. The re-
ports quote the state antitrust law
to show that it would be unlawful
for each grower to contract to sell
his beets to the bureau and for the
bureau to conduct all negotiations
with the factories.
Officials of the bureau contend
that the fact that milk producers
succeeded in marketing their product
collectively does not prove that the
same methods could be followed by
the beet growers.
The milk producers do not threaten
to curtail production, the bureau men
point out. Their association simply
tells city milk distributors that the
dairy farmers will use their own
milk or churn it into butter if the
distributors do not pay the price
asked. In this way they avoid con-
flict with the antitrust law, which
provides penalties to prevent efforts
to restrict production.
The beet growers according to the
bureau officials, have no alternative
markets and no methods by which
they can convert or consume THEN
product on the farms. To do any
collecting bargaining, it is claimed
they must threaten to curtail pro
duction, which would bring them intC
immediate conflict with the law.

SECURING DATES

The Chamber of Commerce is now
taking steps TO do away with con-
flicts in dates for plays, dances, etc.
that are frequently held by various
local organizations. With this ir
view it is writing to all lodges
churches, etc, to secure the dates OF
their regular meetings, etc. These
will be filed together with the dates
of any event on which these organi.
cations are planning, so when any
organization wishes to promote q
party, play, or other similar event
it can avoid a conflict in dates with
other things of like character by
taking up the matter with the Cham
Der of Commerce. The Chamber o.
Commerce is taking up this matter
because of the fact that on a certain
evening recently four differen
events were held, all of which
number of people desire to attend.

ADVISES SIGNING
Farm Committee Advises Farmers To
Sign Beet Contracts.

That the Michigan Farm Bureau
has no immediate remedy to offer for
solution of the difficulties that gave
rise to the strike of sugar-beet grow
ers last summer is the gist of re-
port made by a special committee of
growers.
The report says the bureau will
proceed with its investigation of the
cost of sugar manufacturing ma
chinery and plants, with view to
taking over the business of beet
sugar manufacture within a few
years, if the growers fail to reach
an understanding with the present
manufacturing interests.
For the present, however, the in
dividual growers are practically told

MUCK SOIL STUDIES
TO OPEN NEW LAND

Systematic investigation and classifi-
cation of vast areas of Michigan muck
land will be carried out in the near
future, according to program an
nounced by DIR. M. M. McCool, head OF
the soils department at M. A. c. Work
of this kind is already under way, and
early returns indicate important results
from the investigations.
classification of these areas Of muck
soil is essential, declares DR.. McCool,
Gin view of the fact that the state soils
program calls for studies along practi-
cal lines, such as method of reclama-
ton, tillage, and the use of lime and
various fertilizers. Years ago the
Michigan Experiment Station determin-
ed the fundamentals that govern the
productivity of these soils, but the de-
tailed classification is now vital.
"The nature of the subsoil, as well as
the kind of surface material, is being
considered. This means determining
the depth of the subsoil and whether it
is sand, clay or mari. The Importance
of knowing the nature of the lower
layers has long been recognized by
practical men. Those carrying high
percentage of lime and the lime content
of seepage waters are being determin-
ed. The total mineral matter present,
as well as the amount of several
elements of plant food, is being found,
while physical investigations are in
progress"
adequate drainage and proper use
of fertilizer on these areas will doubt
less increase the valuation of Michigan
greatly and open up large sections of
good land. Analysis shows that many
of these deposits of muck land in Mich
igan compare favorably with those re-
ported from other stations, as well as
from European countries"
