FARM MANAGEMENT WORK
Thirteen Shiawassee County Farmers
Selected to Cooperate with
Department..


Arrangements were completed with
thirteen representative Shiawassee
County farmers to work with the
Farm Management Department Of the
Agricultural College in getting at
cost of production, labor costs and
distribution, and the results of var
ious methods of farming.
Mr.. Riddell, Farm Management Spe-
cialist, was in the county during April
and made these arrangements. The
farms selected in this county were
those being conducted along lines of
general farming and not specializing
in one or two lines.
The plan is that each farmer CO.
operating will keep certain records
of his receipts and expenses con-
nected with the farm. Inventories
will be taken and once every month
an accountant sent out by. the de-
partment will spend one day on the
made up and in posting the various
accounts.
At the end of the year another in
ventory is taken and the records are
completed. These will show the labor
distribution, the sources Of income
as we'll as the sources of losses. This
work should be invaluable to the
farmers who are cooperating in the
work as well as to the farmers Of
the County. Shiawassee County is
linked up with Jackson County in
one General Farming Field with a
total of twenty-five farms in the field.
Then there is field in the potato
growing district and one field taking
in farmers who specialize in dairying
in Monroe and Wayne Counties. The
results of this work should place the
Farm Management Department in
position to furnish the farmers of
the State with some worth while in
formation.

Friends

Amt it fine when things are going
Topsy-turvy and askew,
To discover someone showing
Good old-fashioned faith in you?
Amt it good when life seems dreary
And your hopes about to end,
Just to feel the handclasp cheery
Of fine old loyal friend?
Gosh! one fellow to another
Means a lot from day to day,
Seems we're living for each other
In a friendly sort of way.
When a smile or cheerful greetin'
Means so much to fellows sore,
Seems we ought to keep repeatin'
Smiles an praises more an more.

HOW TO KILL AN ORGANIZATION

When we have meetings, don't
come.
If you do come, come late.
Don't take part in the meetings.
Try not to encourage the officers,
they don't need it.
Believe everything you hear, never
investigate.
If you have a friend who does not
belong, use your influence to keep
him from joining. -,
If everything is running smoothly,
start something.
If you stay from the meetings, be
sure to criticise all actions taken by
those present. Always knock; never
boost.

MILK CONTAINS LIME

Lime is essential to the human body
because:
1t is needed to make bones and
teeth.
1t is needed in the blood and
muscle.
1t is needed to make the heart beat
normally.
Milk is a rich source of lime.
Milk contains more lime than any
other common food.
One quart of milk contains as much
lime as 28 pounds lean meat, "a
pounds potatoes, or 8 pounds white
bread.

A. JOKE ON PAT

Pat had died, and Mike, while seat
ed with the rest of the mourners,
burst into laughter. When he return
ed home, his wife said to him: "What
was the idea of laughing at Pats
funeral?"
"Well, about two weeks ago, Pat
told me he didn't believe in heaven
or hell, and while l looked at him
lying there so peacefully, it just came
to me that he was all dressed up and
no place to CO."

QUICK TO RETRIEVE.

Jackson came tripping merrily into
his tiny hall one day, and almost
spoils his manly beauty by tripping
over someone's shoes left lying about.
"Whose ferry-boats are those in
the hall?" he asked later when he
entered the drawing room.
"Ferry-boats?" his mother-in-law
cried angrily. "Why those are my
shoesw
"My dear, good ma," Jackson said
hurriedly, "who said ferry-boats?
You misunderstood. Fairy boots,
you know-fairy bootsW
And then he wiped the sweat from
his brow-Answers, London.

connection with the present situation
is that the old line elevators have
been the heaviest losers on market de-
clines. Total losses in the state would
probably total quarter of million
dollars on grain alone. Mr.. Osmer
believes that the worst of the storm
is over and from now on business
can move to better advantage but
that it is impossible to keep from in
curing occasional losses.

BOOST

Boost and the world boosts with you,
Knock and you're on the shelf,
For the booster gets sick of the man
who kicks
And wishes he'd kick himself.
Boost when the sun is shining,
Boost when it starts to rain,
If you happen to fall, don't lie down
and bawl,
But get up and boost again.

No confrmation in rroridence.

At the Providence headquarters of the United States engineers office of the war department, in the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Co. building, no confirmation con- corning the project reported from Block Island could be obtained.
 For 9 long time both naval and army authorities have recognized in Block Isl- and the potentialities of practically an impregnable fortifcation which, with the modern long-range guns available. could be used most effectively to block any at tempt by enemy naval forces to enter Narrag gansett bay for an attack on the Newport naval establishment or to ward off a similar attempt for an attack of New York city by way of Long Island sound.
 The present plans, apparently, contem- plate the erection of huge Notifications on the southeast "corner" of the island for guarding the Newport district. As far as can be learned, no steps have been | taken to acquire land on the opposite side of the island for the site of fortifi- cations to guard the Long Island section and it's approaches.
 The land upon which options have been I obtained is mostly farm land and is not 1 in the popular summer hotel section of the island. Southeast Point light is about 1 1-2 miles by air from Old Harbor and
 PIP miles from New Harbor, Block Island.
 The navy as long ago as the spring of i 1917 recognized the possibilities of the island as submarine base. and at that time Admiral Knight. in a report to Sec retary Daniels, urged the construction of Notifications there and the building of a naval base which could be made. he said as strong as the old German Helgoland Admiral Knights plan was looked upon favorably by Secretary Daniels, but ac. tion on the project was postponed at that
 time until the war should be over and a more thorough survey possible.
 Secretary Daniels sent Adrnira
 Knights report to the war department
 and the latter now, apparently, is direct
 ing along lines suggested in the report.
 Brig. Gen. John W. Ruckman, ther
 commander of the First corps area ant
 of the First coast artillery district, il
 an address last March foreshadowed tn,
 governments intentio nto fortify Blocl
 Island. In his address General Buck
 man, who died few days ago, advocat
 ed the necessity of installing fixed gum
 of great calibre" on Block Island for tn
 safety and protection of Newport, Nara
 gansett bay and the eastern flank of Nev
 York.
 The Block Island plan. as a part of tn
 general scheme for the fortification o
 the New England and New York coasts , was outlined by General Ruckman a that time as foHows:
 The strategic naval center in Narra gansett bay is necessary on both tactica : and strategic grounds. Secure protection for this coast will protect the easter
 flank of New York, which is generall
 conceded to be the objective of an enem | in attacking thiS country
 \ Tt is proposed to place all the domj
 hating batteries on the most advance
 points and controlling the intervenin waters, bays, etc. for the requirement of our own forces. Fixed guns of gres . caliber would be placed on Montau , Point Block Island, No Mans Lant Cape Cod and Cape Ann, Portsrout

NEW AERO ENGINE

What may be regarded as the big gest advance in recent years in aero engines is the new British Air Force Cub" engine described in Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 The design is entirely new. It has sixteen cylinders in four groups of four each in the 'X' formation, the 'V'' at the bottom being wider than the top. On it's testing on the bench it de- veloped 1057 horsepower and ran for twenty consecutive hours this being the standard running test.
 The engine weighs just under one ton thus giving one horsepower for every two pounds of weight. The cost of this experimental model was around f5000. or about s25, 1000. Ten of the en- zines have been ordered by the Brit ish Air Ministry.
 It is proposed to fit two of then to the flying boat Titainia, a huge air destroyer now nearing completion in place of four 600- horsepower en- zines as originally intended. The Titan. ia will have range of 15O0 miles anC would cary fifty passengers easily. Tht cost will be about s125,000.
