Tbe opionion that it will ne profitable—snd also patriotic—tor sugar
bush owners to increase the production of syrup and sugar in Michigan
this spring i-. expressed by tht* department of forestry of tbe Michigan
Agricultural college.
I "Cane and beet snear prices have j a ^Tea,t Right to take a walk along the
soared—therefore, the value of, and '
the demand f :>r other sweets, eucb as
Sample syrup and suifar, r spondine
ao the indexible operation ot the law
of supply and demand, snoiiid also
increase." the department declares.
"This is a development which for
obvious reasons should command tbe
attention of owners of sugar bushes,
for the events of the past year now
place a new value upon these maple
. woodlots. In Michigan tbese produced in 1917 about 1350,000 worth of
syrup and sugar, but with proper
management, and tbe prospect for
equitable prices, tbey can tbis spring
easily be made to yield at least a
half million more tban this figure
snd ease up at the same time tbe
drain upon our all too quickly diminishing supplies of other sugars.
''Tbe experience ot Eaton county-
growers affords tbe best example of
co-operation. In 1917 the department
ot forestry of the college, co-operating with a number of producers,
mostly Eaton county men, brought
about the organization of tbe Michigan Maple Syrnp Makers association.
The first work of this body was to
standardize aod grade the products
ot its members, a project which
matured so successfully in the spring
of 1917 that purchasers willing paid
•2.00 a gallon for the improved
syrnp, wbere before, syrnp had
scarcely ever brought more than $1.3.r>
a gallon. As a necessary step in the
direction of efficiency, the department is accordingly rocommending
to oweners of sugar bushes that tbey
affiliate   themselves at once with the
state association   and learo the value

In view of tbe discontinuance of
the general plan of farmers' institutes tbis year, tbe State Grange, in
co-peration with the LT. S. Department of Agriculture, tbe Michigan
Agricultural College and the State
Dairy and Food Departments, will
hold an all-day meeting at Duncan's
Hall, Clare, on Saturday, Feb. 2, for
a public discussion of the most pressing problems before Michigan farmers.    Here are the subjects:
Feeding our Families.
Price of Farm Products in the
Light of Production Costs
The Necessity of an Efficient Farm
Organization for Live Stock Shipping

Nation's call for Increased Food
Production'.''
These topics will be'discussed by
men and women of state wide reputation as leaders oi rural activity.
A Grange conference will be held in
connection    with    tnis    meeting    to
with one bucket; where four buckets
were used, tbe yield was only two
times as mnc-b as waa secured witb
one bucket, wnile witb rive bucksts,
tbe yield was only 1.2 (one and two-
tenths) times what was obtained witb
a single bucket.
"Why there should be less sapgiven
by a tree that is tapped four or five
times than is obtained from one tbat
is tapped in only three places, is not
understood. Three or four buckets,
accordingly, are the maxum that
should be placed upon any one tree."

TWO WHEATLESS
in 1918 wiii be conducted during February under the geieral supervision
of A. B. Cook, federal farm labor
director for Michigan, it is announced
by M. A C. Inasmuch as such a
survey will requir<*-a statement from
every agriculturalist in the state,
scbool children will be asked to help
witb the work. Youngsters in the
rural districts will be supplied with a
number of questiunaires to be distributed among farmers, and when
these bave been filled out tbey will be
taken up by the boys and girls and
turned over to tbeir teachers, wbu in
turn wil! forward them to tbe agricultural agents in their counties.
These latter,* will than send them
bere to be used by the farm labor
director.
Although no formal announcement
has thus iar been forthcoming from
the superintendent of public instruction, it is expected that he will shortly designate two days in February for
this work and on these two davs
school will very probably be dismissed to facilitate tbe distribution and
collection of the qaestionaires. 11
tbis is done the county school commissioners wil! bave general direction^
of tne work in tbeir several districts.
With tbe necessary information at
hand to tell him how much help will
be needed, and when and where it
will be required, the labor director
will begin organizing agencies for
meeting these needs

THOMPSON HOME
Sunday
A   Scorching
Evening.
Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Thompson bad
an unpleasant experience Sunday
evening, yet the matter might easily
bave been worse. During tbe extremely cold weather, Mrs. Thompson had lighted a little oil stove in
one of the bedrooms above for a
short time in tbe evening to make it
more comfortable. Sbe bad done so
on tbia evening and soon afterward
going to the room to put tbe iittle
grandson in bed found that in some
way tbe oil had ignited and names
were shooting all about tho room.
The fire boys responded promptly to
tbe alarm, but tho lively work of
those wbo bad gathered before soon
bad tbe fire out, tbe burning bedding
being thrown out tbe window.
Tbe loss is chiefly in bedding
though of course the house is badly
scorched and smoked up. The ioss
is covered by insurance.
Days   Now   Each   Week   And

President Wilson has issued a proclamation calling upon tbe people to
observetwo wheatless dayseacb week,
instead of one as heretofore, Mondays
and Wednesday bring named as tbe

observe one wheatless meal each day.
In tbe meat line tbey are asked to

Proclamation.
The new order whicb baa been
issued by tbe Federal Foe! Administrator for Michigan should leave no

It should be the patriotic duty of
every on* to see tbat tbe conduct of
bis own business conforms to the
regulations made. Failure to do so

Federal authorities.

Dumb brutes usually appreciate an
act of kindness, but tbere are exceptions. Yesterday morning a horse,
driven by Dr. Musseii, was being
watered at the Calkins House barn.
It seemed to make bad work of tbe
matter witb tbe bit in his mouth and
Warren Radway kindly removed tbe
briale to ease tbe difficulty and the
borse at once made a bolt op 5th
street with the cotter to whicb be
was hitched. Fortunately be had
the street to himself and met no obstructions, making straight for tbe
depot, wben tbe cutter struck a post,

Tbe burse was bere caught, no worse

by making less use of one and more
of tbe other.
