MICHIGAN's GOOD FORTUNE
In securing l.. y. Livingston to
Supervise Land Clearing Operations

II
Michigan is fortunate insecuring the
| services OF Larry r. Livingston OF
Wausaukee, Wds.. as land clearing
specialist, the Michigan Agricultural
College has taken from Wisconsin the
admitted greatest land clearing engin-
er in the world. To accept the Mich
igan offer Livingston resigned his
position as secretary OF the Marinette
County Land Clearing Association. In
that office he made the world re-
cord OF clearing $4,000 acres Of land
dn one county in single year.
To accomplish thas feat Livingston
induced the farmers of Marinette
County to buy IA carloads OF dyna-
mite for stump blasting In one year
His first purchase. nine cars in the
spring OF 1920, the year the record was
made was the largest single order
OF land clearing explosive ever placed.
Having made the record OF $4,000
acres in 1920 Livingston and the
association set out TO clear 10000
acres in Marinette County In 1921. He
was in the midst OF the campaign
when the Michigan Agricultural
College lured him away, but left the
work so well organized that the re-
suit is not indoubt.
Livingston is a gradute OF the Uni
versity OF Washington. as an agri-
cultural engineer. class OF 1914. He
learned something OF practical land
clearing on the Pacific coast. then
came 70 Wisconsin as land clearing
director for the state. He left this job
to serve as a railroad engineers heu-
tenant in France and on his return
the Marinette County association gave
him his big chance.
His new job is to organize the land
clearing activities OF Michigan's Clo-
yerland, the upper peninsula. and in
doing so he will apply the methods TO

BASIC INDUSTRY TURNS CORNER

The following optimistic statement
was written last week by J. Burton
Nealy, metal trades editor OF the New
York Commercial:
Steel, the barometric industry. has
at last turned the corner and Is now
gaining steadily This Songfdelayed
and long hoped for change came about
the middle OF July. after the industry
had sounded the depths OF the slough
OF despond and when stagnation ruled
TO an extent never before experienced
or thought possible. Steel mills were
turning out Tess than 20 per cent OF
their rated capacity and furnaces
everywhere were cold and their crews
scattered TO the four winds. The 1920
bubble burst. despite frantic efforts
to keep IL inflated and the greatest
industrial collapse OF modern times
was on. Today men have stopped to
pick up the fragments OF their house
OF cards and build again. but OF real
materials this time. The process OF de-
.flation Is we'll along. and most, II not
all, the steel mills are operating at a
loss in a mighty effort 20 meet The
public on the one hand, and the high
wages and freight rates demanded by
labor and the railroads on the other.
Since the middle OF July there has
been an increase In demand-not from
a single interest, as happened twico
before this year only TO flatten out
again later. but from a number OF
diversified iHerests, and simultan-
eously Those most prominent in the
buying movement are the railroads.
railroad equipment shops. automobile
and other mahufacturenl builders
movement has been slow but sure
small but basic in nature. Steel mills
have increased their rate OF operation
and furnaces have been relighted.
The improvement is real and not
psychological this time. II is due
TO two things--increased confidence
on the part OF the buyers and the OBJ
sorption OF stocks that have overhung
the market like a pail since the be-
ginning OF the business depression
and which have diverted large part
OF the current demand for steel pro
ducts. This demand IS now diverted to
steel mills and II Is the growing opin-
m That the average rate OF operation
az the mills will be thereby increased
10 from 35 10 As per cent before fall
from this source alcne. The steel
industry has been sub-normal when
compared TO general business for some
time, and with this depressing factor
removed the normal relation is about
TO be re-estabhshed.
