Describes Cuba Sugar Question
and Urges Paving On Direct

Miami, Fla.   April 1st, 1931
Clare Sentinel:
Motoring in Cuba this winter has
had the added attraction of a new/
concrete road the entire length of the
island, some 700 miles. The enjoyment of this tropical landscape, which
Columbus reported as the most
beautiful in the world, has been
somewhat moderated by revolutionary rumblings. j|(

colleges and schools, incarcerated the
professors and   students,    suspended

We in a way are mixed up in this
Situation. Our protection over Cuba
contains what is known as ths Pratt
amendment has been twisted in
meaning so as to have the effect of
"' -perpetuating the existing autoeracy.
This political mess is caused by the
sweetest thing on earth, sugar. The
"United States Sugar Institute is. cooperating with Cuba and other sugar
countries to curtail the output
throughout the world.
TbS Institute in the United States
consists of fifty corporations interested in^ the commercial handling of
this product. Farmers who raise the
sugar and merchants who retail it
are,not eligible. The paramount object of this combination it is alleged'
is to false the price of Sugar as high

EASTER PLAY ATTRACTS
LARGE AUDIENCE AT
METHODIST CHURCH
Eighteen Received Into Church
Membership at Morning
Service
Easter in the Clare Methodist
church was a great day in every way.
The church had purchased a larg
number of lilies, which, with other
very beautiful decorations, and the
garden scene, arranged for the play,
gave a magnificient setting for the
services of the day. Great credit m
due to the choir, for the' very beaufl-
ful music. High solemn worship, th^i
complete liturgy of the church, was"
given in most reverent spirit, before
the presentation of the play, in the
evening. The acting of the young
people was letter-perfect, and the
dramatic interpretation was worthy
of much older and more experienced
actors. Dale Randall, Bob Herrick
and Lamont Hamlin acted the part of
the Roman soldier guards set to
watch over the tomb of Christ. June
Hachmuth represented Mary of Mag-
dala, arid Virginia Friz and Hazel
Stottlemeyer the mourners at th,e
tomb. Much credit is due Mrs. Holbrook for her training, and to Mrs.
Sternaman, for providing the fine
lighting effects. Every seat was filled, with some in the galleries. .
The morning worship was very impressive, and the largest class was received into church membership, and
oaptised, in many years, eighteen
coming into this fellowship. After
the beautiful worship service, the
pastor had no time for a sermon, but
used the time to baptise and to receive the class, giving personal talks
of instruction, advice, and encouragement to those coming into the church.
The fine spirit of cooperation and
united action, with the many working, and the record attendance in
Sunday School, Epworth League, and
in. the women's societies, is a great
joy to all. J_^..„

POTATO RALLY
CALLED FOR
LOCALGROWERS
Plans For Restoring Michigan's Potato Reputation
Will Be Presented
by Specialists
A program of interest to every potato- grower and shipper in Clare
County and every business man interested' in the welfare of ojur local potato industry will be held at Clare on
April 17, at 1:20 p. m., central standard time. Other meetings will be
held at Marion on April 16, at 1:00 p.
in., and at Mt. Pleasant on April 17 at
9:00 a. m. Each of these meetings
will be held on the Wabash agricultural car which will be spotted near
the Ann Arbor station. "^     '*'
Potatoes constitute a ^fchigan's
greatest cash crop, averaging 22 million dollars a year, yet the industry
is slipping rapidly in this state. Gov;
ernment figures show that our potato
acreage has decreased 20 percent in
the last ten years while some of our,
competitors have increased theiu
■acreage 50 to 100, percent. A .plan to
correct this situation has been developed during, the last several
months and will be presented at these
potato rallies sponsored by the Ann
Arbor Railroad.
C. L. Nash, marketing specialist
from Michigan State College, will tell
briefly and to the point what has
been happening to Michigan's potato
markets. We have lost many good
markets and are losing prestige in
others. Even in Detroit there is a
marked preference for potatoes from
other sections as shown by the price
advantage given those potatoes. H.
C. Moore, potato specialist from Michigan State College, will point out the
present weaknesses of the Michigan
potato industry and present practical
recommendations for overcoming
these weaknesses, thereby helping recapture the markets which are
logically ours.
Appearing on the program with
them will be P. F. Schowengerdt, director of agricultural development for
the Wabash Railway Company and
Paul Gibson, county agricultural
agent.

CROP DISEASES AND
INSECTS SUBJECTS
AT FARMERS'MEETINGS
County Agent Gibson  Has  Arranged  for Meetings   Next
Tuesday and Wednesday
Spring seeding time brings to farmer's minds the problems of treating
the seed of cereal grains and potatoes
to control the hosts of diseases that
prevail in our midst today. Thousands of dollars' Worth er damage ,1s
suffered each year by farmers in the1
county who fail to treat their oats,
barley, wheat and seed potatoes to
control the smuts, scab stripe of the
cereals and scab and black scurf of
potatoes.
It is very common to hear farmers
tell how smutty their oats or wheat
was and of the loss sustained by this
disease. A prominent farmer near
Harrison stated recently that he had
noticed a great difference in the quality and yield of his potatoes since he
started treating his seed.
Seed treatment costs but little
when properly applied and pays good
dividends in improved quality and
yield of product.
There are also many insect pests
coming to the attention of potato and
bean growers as well as the cut
worms that often riddle a good stand
of wheat, corn or beans.
Farmers of Clare county will get
the best information available or-.
treating seed and controlling of in
sect pests by attending one of the
meetings arranged by County Agent
P. D. Gibson for next Tuesday and
Wednesday. Dr. Muncie of the Crop
Disease Department "or Michigan
State College and Mr. C. B. Dibble of
the Entomology Department will be
the speakers. Dr. Muncie and Mr.
Dibble have had a wide experience in
their respective lines of work and Will
bring to Clare county farmers the
most up to date treatments and control measures for keeping crop diseases and insect pests under control.
Meeting will be held as follows:
