ShOlvs Farm Land

East Lansing, Oct. G.-That agri-
cultural development is justified in 81
per cent or more of the area Of On
tonogan County, Michigan, is the be-
lief expressed by Dr. Nj. NJ. McCool,
head Of the soils department at the
Michigan Agricultural College. A
soil survey of this Upper Peninsula
county is being made at the present
time through the college and the u.
5. Bureau Of Soils, classifying and
mapping the principal soils of the
area and collecting Information of
value in the agricultural development
Of the region. The field work, which
viii be completed this fall, is being
handled under the direction of j.. O.
Neatch, Of the Nj. A. c. soils depart
mcnt.
Results of the survey SO far show
4 surprisingly large acreage Of arabic
land in Ontonogan County" said DR..
McCool in discussing the work. "Final
estimates have not been made, but il
is believed that in an area aggregat-
ing so per cent or more of the total,
the soil and topography are such as
to Justify development at present and
in the near future for farming pur-
poses.
Most Of the land at present is cut
over timber land, or is occupied by
virgin hardwood forest. The princi-
pal soil in areal extent is a heavy clay
which contains a comparatively high
percentage OF lime, and which is pro
baby rich in other elements of fer
tility. The soil is naturally adapted
for clover and small grains which may
be made the basis Of dairy industry.
There is also a large area of lighter
textured soils, silt, sand, and sandy
loans, characterized by level or gent
~ rolling topography, adapted to the
growing Of potatoes, and also to grain
and root crops, while fruit and va
riety Of vegetables for home use may

WHY ARE 50 MANY
BOYS ARRESTED
SOUTHERN MICHIGAN PAPER
GIVES IT'S VIEWS ON THIS
IMPORTANT SUBJECT.

We clip the following from the
Cassopolis (Mich.) Vigilant. What it
SAYS about the number Of mere boys
and young men brought into court in
Cass county, ~ criminal charges, Is
iwcll worth considering in Gratiot
county. While we may not have had
20 many brought into circuit court
in Gratiot as the SO reported in Cass,
it is equally true that a large pro-
portion Of them are boys or young
men, The Nigilant says:
'Of the 33 men arraigned in Cass
eounty's circuit court, Monday, to an
swer to charges ranging from viola
tion Of the liquor laws to burglary,
only two were men whose hair had
turned gray, while ell the others were
young men and quite a few were
scarcely more than mere boys, some
IF them from what would be consid-
cred very good families.
This condition seems not to. be UNI
usual today, and it is reported to be
prevalent in all courts, whereas few
years ago such condition would
have created sensation and would
have been given big headlines in the
metropolitan press.
That So large a percentage Of our
youths have turned criminal is never
The less startling, and those who have
az heart the welfare Of our youth and
the future of our country should give
serious thought about the causes
which produce such a condition and
the remedies which should be applied.
The courts may punish the wrong
doors, but this does not change their
natures nor correct the evils, for the
evils have grown in the face Of pun
ishment until the prisons of Michigan
are today overcrowded.
"To our minds the remedy must be
applied in the homeland to the home
There must be a revival of the family
circle, home teaching Of old-fashioned
standards Of honesty and morality,
respect for religion, and a renewal of
religious life. The schools can help,
ana the teaching OF morality and the
intoxicating Of high ideals can be ac-
complished TO 4 large extent in the
schools, which apparently is not now
being done. The church can help, al
though its hours with the young are
extremely limited. But the right kind
Of living must commence at home, and
the re-cstablished home life Of the
right kind is the only thing that can
save our boys and girls from becom-
ing immoral and criminal and save
America, for America is in danger,
and a generation raised on jazz and
pictures viii not save it.
Parents, get busy! Your boy may
be in the lineup in court next time
or next year, and ten chances to one
you will be to blame"

VII Meet Mount
Pleasant FRIDAY

The Alma high school football
squad will 20 to Mt Pleasant Friday,
where the high schoolers will battle
the Mt. Pleasant high school aggre-
cation in an attempt TO gain revenge
Tor the s to 0 defeat inflicted on the
Orange and Black last year by the
Preps' from the Normal town.
The local team will be in about the
same shape for the Mt Pleasant fray
that it was in the Flint Central game
Of Saturday, minus both Garner, full
back, and Wallace, half. Ike" Sar-
.or, a veteran, who had not been out
previous to this week, has turned out
FOR the team, and it is probable that
ne will get into the, fray.
The locah will depend to a great
extent in their offensive work on
Elias, who proved such a sensation in
The Flint contest last Saturday, play
ing a game that marked him as al
most all-state high school timber.
In spite Of the crippled condition
Of the aggregation Alma has every
expectation Of defeating the Mt.
Pleasant outfit by from two to three
touchdowns.
