IS SEASON FOR
INF ANT DEATHS
DEATH RATE FOR BABIES MUCH
HIGHER DURING THE HOT
SUMNER MONTHS.

Lookout for the baby and rhe
milk supply" With the coming Of
summer these words resound into
every home from every division of the
state department of health. Infant
death rates since 1911 have been on
the decrease and the enlargement of
the bureau Of child hygiene this year
gives hope of further lowering.
Placing herself firmly on plat
form in favor of the proverb that
none cares to be accused of locking
the stable after the horse is stolen"
DR.. Blanche NJ. Haines, newly APP
pointed director Of the bureau of
child hygiene and public health nurs-
ing of the state health department,
today sounded warning to mothers
Of babies less than one year old.
This is the season of the year." says
Or. Haines, "when the infant NOR
tally rate begins to climb"
July has always been the signal
for increased deaths among infants.
Figures compiled in the vital stats
ties bureau for 1921 show the death
rate began to increase in July and
continued upward until September.
Statistics fer six months Of 1921
show the fiuctuation of the infant
death rates:

Hot Congressional
Primary Race On

Republicans Of the Eighth Congress
sional district of Michigan may see
real warm race between now and
time for the primary election, Sep
TENDER ~, as two hats have been
thrown into the ring by aspirants TO
Joseph w. Fordney's seat in congress,
with every expectation that others
will yet get into the fight for the
Republican nomination., which in past
years, on at least since the advent of
Fordney, has been the equivalent of
election.
A few days after William Smith of
st. Johns declared his candidacy for
the nomination on the Republican
ticket, an announcement that came
right ON the heels Of Mr.. Fordney's
announcement to retire, Bird j. Nin-
cent of Saginaw stepped into the race
as an active candidate.
Vincent, who is "A World War vet
eran, is ~ years Of age. Prior to
going into the service he was prose-
cutting attorney Of Saginaw county
and was serving his second term,
when he resigned to enter the service.
After his discharge he became city
attorney of Saginaw, a post which he
now holds.
Political rumor, during the last two
or three days, has been connecting
the name Of Or. j. j. Haviland of
Owosso, another war veteran, as a
possible candidate. He has not yet
affirmed or denied beng a possible
candidate. At present he Is connect
ed with the veterans bureau in Sag
NAV. julius Kirby of Saginaw also
is still being mentioned as a possible
candidate. Others may also spring
mp between now and August II, the
final day for filing petitions.
Chances me that as the filing day
for petitions come the field viii mar
row down to Smith and Vincent, on
else there will be several candidate
in the field. If another candidate
should appear IN Saginaw, Il IS prob
able that another o. more vii Jump
into the race from oae Of the otA@
five counties, which have GO per cent
of the vote Of tha dist c,, feeling
that with a fight on IN Saginaw eo n-
ty over Saginaw's 30 per cent thore
would De a fine chance for "A possible

NO GRIEVANCE
SAYS RAILROAD
SHOPMEN HAVE NOT PRESENT.
ED A GRIEVANCE SAYS ANN
ARBOR OFFICIAL.

In communication to the Alma
Record yesterday, Il. w. Burt, local
agent for the Ann Arbor railroad
furnished the following information
relative to the strike of the shopmen
on the Ann Arbor railroad:
The shopmen on the Ann Arbor
railroad have not presented any
grievance of any sort to the Manage
ment of the Ann Arbor r. X. and
that the strike is one simply in def
ance of the United States Railroad
Labor Board and the Government.
1.-THE United States Labor Board
established under an act passed by
Congress, after an exhaustive hear
ing, established AN hourly wage for
the shop workers, effective July /,
1922. which leaves such workers a
rate of pay ranging from Csc, 10
200qt in excess Of the rate prevail
ing December, 1917, but they are NOT
inclined to accept the reduction, and
by united action throughout the
country, are defyng the tribunal fix
ing such wage as well a the Govern
ment.
AT several conferences held be
tween the management Of the Ann
Arbor railroad and the committee
representing the shop employees on
that road, every dispute, fancied on
otherwise, was taken up and disposed
of and other concessions offered, but
the employees would not agree to a
settlement"

Fertilizer Needed
With AN0ifd CrOE

The common belief that alfalfa
causes the soil to become more fertile
is true only in so far as nitrogen IS
concerned, other plant food elements
suffering q loss as with other crops,
according to O. b. Price, Of the Mich
igan Agricultural College soils de
partment.
The result Of this tendency will IN
time lead to an unbalanced condition
in the soil, unless proper fertilizer
treatments are made.
Alfalfa, when properly inoculated
at seeding, takes the nitrogen from
the air, and, by means of the bacteria
on its roots, stores it in the plant It's
sue" says MIR Price. When a crop
Of hav is removed there IS no loss OF
nitrogen from the soil because 1t
came from the air, hut there is a loss
Of other plant food elements other
than nitrogen, particularly phosphor-
rs and potassium. Analysis shows
that with every ton of alfalfa hay
scld from the farm there is removed
with it 80 pounds of nitrogen, i
pounds of potassium.
Taking the average yield of alfal-
ia in Michigan at tons per acre, the
losses of phosphorus and potassium
would be pounds and AZ pounds per
acre, respectively, where all the hay
is sold. Feeding all the hay and APP
plying all the manure will not bal
ance the loss. About 33 per cent OF
the organic matter, % per cent of the
nitrogen and phosphorus, and 10 per
cent of the potassium are lost IN
feeding.
MANY Of the farmers in south
western Michigan are realizing tins
situation and are applying from 200
t. 800 pounds Of acid phosphate in
their rotation, or are using some high
grade mixed fertilizer. 1t is very
good practice TO apply 200 to 25o
pounds of 3-l0-i fertilizer when seed
ing alfalfa for the first time

Rev. Shoulder, in addition to being

and has taken an active part in var
ious enterprises. For two years he
has conducted a week day Bible class
for high school students. At present
he is the chairman of the education

Church Council.
Rev. Shoulder has not yet accepted
any other pastorate and probably
will not do so until after he has

view Of selecting a church that offers
a fine field, and which is located in
some community that is good city

Army to Train
400 Citizens

The war department has issued in
structions TO the corps area COM
manders for summer training camps
in accordance with the sums provided
under the appropriation act for the
fiscal year 1923.
Plans call for the training Of 27000
young men between the ages Of II
and 81 in the citizens military camps,
5000 to be trained in each corps
area for a period Of 80 days. This is
the number for which appropriations
were requested by the war depart
ment.
Four thousand and five hundred
members Of the Officers Reservc
corps will be given Is days training,
and 900 an additional 80 days of
training as instructors in the citizens
military.
Five hundred reserve officers will
be authorized to be trained in each
corps area, divided by grade approx
mately as follows:
General officers, !; colonels, 5;
colonies, 10; majors, 81;
captains, 200; first lieutenants, 24l;
second lieutenants, 443.
One hundred other reserve corps
officers will be sent to special service
schools for three months course Of
instruction.
appropriations were requested by
the war department for the training
CT $4,000 of the approximate $4,000
reserve corps officers.
1t is impracticable to allot the
$4,000 appropriated for the training
of the enlisted reserve corps. Corps
area commanders have been directed
to recommend as to the number to be
trained.
Just how many Of the national
guard will be trained cannot be de
tinitely stated until estimates from
state adjutants general have been re-
ceiyed. 1t is believed that all the
national guard troops will spend II
days in their summer training camps
The fourday preliminary camps Of
instruction for officers and ION
commissioned officers, target prac-
tice, except during the Is day camps
and state rifle competitions have beer
eliminated definitely from the train
ing program for the national guard
In view Of the curtailment of APP
preparations for horses, plans are be-
ing considered for sending national
guard, cavalry and artillery to regu-
lar army stations in order to utilize
animals and equipment of the regular
organizations so far as is practicable
There are still vacancies at Camp
Custer, it is reported and those who
desire TO attend the camp should con
fer at once with M. w. Stuckey, al
the local post office, who can furnish
information relative to the camp anC
in making application.
