about through psychological factors,
usually the result OF propaganda.
That Is why l am eager to give

in my book l suggest some moves

been carefully considered. and then well
threshed out with some or the more
alert, well-nformed minds that are In

ITO me it Is very disappointing that
, most of the elements working against
war with Japan have confined their Ell
forts to propaganda, telling what line

familiarizing US with their wonderful

MICHIGAN LEADS IN VENEREAL
TREATMENT.

Lansing, March Leading all
states in the number of patients
treated in venereal disease clinics,
Michigan outstrips the majority in all
phases of the national program for
combating syphilis and gonorhea, and
rivals, in work accomplished, those
states with the largest populations,
according to a report issued by the
U. S. Public Health Service for two
years work beginning July, 1918.
Michigan's II city clinics treated,
during this time, 22,829 patients
Texas treated 14,253; Ohio 11,614 +;
New York 1901; and Illinois 6,575.
Within the past three months the
number of clinics has been increased
from IL to 16, treatment being given
to an average of 2,400 patients
monthly.
Since the inception Of the work the
Michigan department of health,
through it's social hygiene lecturers,
educational moving pictures, exhibits,
and literature, has made contacts
with 100000 people, it is estimated.
Pamphlets have been distributed on
request to 505,108 persons; 01,975
people have viewed the department S
exhibits; and 2O9,728 have attended
the lectures and moving pictures.
In a foreword to the report, Sur
geon General Hugh S. Cumming
says: "War made it necessary for
the United States to face frankly
the problem of venereal diseases. 1t
was found that large proportion of
the cases in the army originated, not
in the cities near the army camps,
but in the home towns from which
the men came and in the cities
through which they passed on their
way to camp. Careful investigation
during the war established unques-
tionably the responsibility of civil
communities for the prevalence of
venereal diseases"

Lansing, March 1O.-Periodic re-
novation of feathers used in articles
of bedding, as an aid in the sanitary
control Of communicable diseases, is
recommended by the bureau of la
borities of the Michigan department
of health after completion of Sc
ries of studies on the sterilization of
bedding.
ITO the usual reasons for renova-
ton of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of life
and elasticity-is added" reads the
report, "the fact that the commercial
process thoroughly sterilizes the con-
tents, removing all possible dangers
of disease infection. At present,
with shifting population, and more
families keeping roomers than ever
before, the chances for the spread
of infections are greatly increased"
Since it is well known that the
germs Of tuberculosis, and spore-
forming organisms, may remain dor
mant and virulent under favorable
conditions for long periods, officials
of the department declare it neces-
sary to take all possible precautions
against them.

sprinkling a two per cent solution of
chloride of lime around breeding

SEED PRICES TUMBLE ON OATS
AND BARLEY.

Michigan Crop Improvement Asso-
citation and State Farm Bureau An
nounce Lowered Scale on Reg
istered Seeds.
East Lansing, March 8.-A low
cred price on registered seed oats
and barley has just been announced
by A. L. Bibbins, secretary of the
Michigan Crop Improvement associa-
ton. The Improvement association
and the Seed department of the State
Farm Bureau, cooperating, have
agreed upon scale of prices for
certified seed which is said to be the
lowest in the history of the associa-
ton.
Low market conditions on barley
and oats, and the large supply of
fine seed of these grains on hand in
the Improvement association led to
the reductions, which leave regis
tered oats seed selling at an average
Of $1.40.
"This is adapted seed, bred to
Michigan conditions, and guaranteed
pure, of high quality, and true to
name," says Mr.. Bibbins. Orders
can be placed with the Seed depart
ment of the State Farm Bureau,

to have been warranted by the pres
ent price of sugar. For the 1920
crop of beets was contracted for on
the basis of nine cent sugar; where
as the wholesale price of sugar today
has fallen well below eight cents per
pound. This leaves the beet sugar
companies 'holding the bag"-at a
financial sacrifice.
These are some of the facts re-
garding the beet sugar industry.
They speak eloquently of it's "first
aid" service to both the farmer and
the country service that clearly
entities it to be ranked among the
most important of our agricultural
and economic interests.
