A duplication to Be
Heard BY Board

The Michigan Public Utilities Com
mission has announced that the In
terstate Commerce Commission is to
re-hear the question as TO whether it
will permit the building of the Mich-
gan Northern Railroad, which is
projected from Lansing to Grand
Ledge, north through Westphalia,
Fowler, Maple Rapids, Ithaca, etc.
About two years ago the Interstate
Commerce Commission denied the
Michigan Northern Railroad Com
pany the right to build the road on
the ground that it was probably fore
doomdl to failuree and could not
be made to pay. Those connected
with the projected road have asked
for a re-hearing, which has been set
room Of the Michigan Public Utilities
for today at Lansing in the. hearing
Commission.
The u. S. transportation Act of
1920 provided that no railroad could
be built in any state without appli-
cation to the Interstate Commerce
Commission and securing it's APP
proval, and as result the Michigan
Public Utilities Commission will
have no part in the hearing or in the
decision in regard to the road.

Gets Chickens
Is the Report

That White Wyandottes and Ply
mouth Rock chicken can turn sud
denly into Rhode Island Reds, is
something that Charles L. Leonard
of Isabella county, evidently wanted
to make Joseph Grover, local meat
dealer, and deputy sheriff when not
otherwise busy, believe.
Monday Leonard dropped into the
Grover market and asked Grover if
he wanted to buy some chickens.
Grover asked what kind they We're.
Leonard is said to have replied that
they were White Wyandottes and
Plymouth Rocks. He was told to
bring them in.
He did the following day, forty Of
them, but it happened that the darn
things had changed into Rhode Is
land Reds. Funny, thought Grover.
He and James Campbell, local chief
of police, looked into the matter. II
is reported that the chickens were
stolen from neighbor of Leonard's
in Isabella county. 1t is said that the
friend neighbor has secured war
rant for Leonard.
Leonard will probably be more
careful as to the dealers he sells to
n the future.

ADVERTISE IN
1922 BAbSOM
FAMOUS STATISTICIAN OUT
LINES OPPORTUNITIES OF
THE PERIOD.

In discussing his recent trip about
the country, Roger w. Babson,
statistician and business authority.
outlines the first opportunity of the
coming period of prosperity as fol-
lows:
ION this recent trip which took
me into practically every large in
dustrial center in the United States,
! talked to business men, large and
small, about their business, and we
discussed both the present situation
and future plans.
1T is very apparent that the exc
cutives of America have been busy
since January 1920 even il the bust
nesses themselves have not.
"ln fact, American business men
have probably done more real think
ing since the depression set in than
they did in the whole period of pro-
sperity which preceded it. Almost
every man | talked with has plan
for new building, new product,
or the development of new sales
field. The project is on paper, the
details have been worked out, and
he is just waiting for conditions to
get settled. All of these plans mean
potential business for next year OF
the year after-actual orders will be
placed just as soon as prices and
markets reach stable levels.
"This situation apparent as we
k,t ha
of depression in 1922, offers the first
real chance of the coming period of
Improvement. Future business is
now on the production counter. You
can buy it cheaper now than you
will be able TO buy il at any time
during the next four or five years.
ut takes no little courage to &c
spend money for advertising wher
counter to the popular current anC
immediate returns are smaller thar
usual but | am convinced that the
man who has that foresight anC
courage will gain an advantage
running start that will carry hin
through the coming periods of i'm
provement and prosperity.
1922 is the year to use the reserv,
set aside during the fat years. Gu
production costs as much as possible
but don't skimp your selling appro
priation during 1922. Defer expan
sion of plant until next year-bu
this year-increase your advertising
Take the aggressive course Their,
will be considerable business thi!
summer, more the coming fall an,
winter, more still next year. But The
man who goes after it now-is til,
man who will get it.

Pre-Pink Spray Said
Important on Apples

Pre-pnk spray of apples to con-
troll Apple Scab as well as the stan
dard pink spray is advised this year
by plant pathologists Of the Michi-
gan Agricultural College.
"The Scab fungus is developing
early this year." they declare. There
is every promise of spore discharge
as soon as the buds push out lit
tie more. Nearly mature spores
have been found in material from
Grand Rapids and Augusts, Michi-
gan orchards. Lansing material is
as yet considerably behind in its de-
velopment as compared to the wes-
tern localities"
Efficient control Of apple scab, the
pathologists explain, depends upon
timeliness of application of protec-
tive sprays TO prevent early infec-
tions. This is especially true with
such varieties as Duchess and McIn-
tosh.
The apple scab fungus winters on
the fallen leaves and in the spring
develops spore stage which infects
the unfolding leaves and developing
blossoms. Leaves carrying the
fungus have been obtained from var
ious fruit-growing centers, and on
examination it is found that the APP
pie scab fungus has responded to the
high temperatures of this spring and
is developing extremely rapidly.
THE scab fungus gives every in
dication Of producing infections
very early this year." says Profess
sor c. w. Bennett. Ordinarily fruit
growers depend upon a spray when
the buds are in the pink stage, but
this year, judging from the advanced
development of the apple scab fun
gus, a 'pre-pink' spray will also be
necessary to secure best scab con-
troll"
If the early infections are not pre-
vented very serious spotting Of the
calyx of the fruit results. These
early infections also give rise to
severe later infections. The adj
vice to give the pre-pink spray as
well as the pink spray seems well
warranted by the microscopic find
ings of this spring.
