FIFTEEN AGENTS HERE
Northern Branch Of County
Agents Association Visit
Villas Spud Fields.

Fifteen county agents from
northern counties in the state
held a full day session in Villas
county last Friday. The meeting
was held in the village, the agents
working throughout the county
during the day, in order to see
the possibilities of this county's
success from an agriculture stand
point.
During the day farms in every
section of the county were visit
cd. The Radcliffe farm and St.
Clair farm were visited and their
spud fields subjected to close
scrutiny. From tk~ir report after
the day, the ASST. rance is made
that Villas has the best showing
of free-from-disease potatoes than
any county so far visited.
Such experimenting trips as are
being made by county agents and
members from the agriculture de-
partment of the university, are of
inestimable value 10 both the down
state men and county residents.
Villas county is in line for a record
this fall and there is no reason
why we should not go after it for
all we are worth. This years
showing in all lines of croppage
are excellent, and the coming
county fair will surpass any here
tofore held. That is the predic-
tion now made by men who have
inspected the entire farming dis
trict of Villas. Let's go. fellows.
Fair is held September 1914.

CAMPS WILL BREAK UP
This Week Ends Outing Sea-
son for Girls and Boys in
Lake Region.

After eight week of an outdoor
outing in the Big Woods section,
most all the boys and girls camps
in this section of the state will
close for the season and entrain
for their homes to almost every
state east and south. This section
of the lake region has over TWEEN
ty camps who, during the time
from July first to the last week
in August, cater to boys and girls
in their teens for a period of eight
weeks. Outdoor activities such as
hikes, canoe and motor trips TO
points of interest in this and
Northern Michigan occupies the
time of every youngster, who are
under the able care of grown-ups
trained for just such work-that
of building into clean men and
women the boys and girls entrust-
ed TO their care.
These eight weeks are builders
and shapers of 1000 men and wo-
men. Not that the youngster pas
ses the span from childhood to
maturity during the eight weeks,
but that it makes a foundation
wherein the youth acquires the
moral and physical uplift from his
or her peers in life as builded in
them during their outing. Bronz-
ed to the hue of the Indian, and
with an appetite for a man-sized
meal, and the inclination to sleep
the clock around once every ewelve
hours, these youths return home as
hardy and fit for their duties in
school work as any athlete who
.oes into training for some event
where endurance and clean BRAIN
work is needed. Morally and phys
ically these boys and girls are per-
feet, and the camps for young
folks are gaining ground each
year in this land of woods and
water and pure atmosphere.
