Frank I. Ross  Leaves in   a   Few
Days for Pacific Coast.
It will be a matter of surprise and
regret to many to learn that FranK
Ross who for a decade has been the
efficient and courteous foreman at
tbe Sentinel ollice is about to remove
to Colusa, Cal., where he accepts a
similiar position v.itli the Colust
Herald. Colusa is the seat of Colusa
Co., and is situated on the Sacramento river some .r-0 miles north of
tbe state capital. The Herald is the
chief paper of the countv and the
only Republican one published.
Mr. Ross began his work as a tjpo
in an office in Carleton in 1^j2 and
soon after went to Milan where he
was connected with the Milan Leader
tor seven years. He then went to
Vpsilanti and entered tbe employ of
the Scharf Tag, Label and Box Co.
a concern doing a large business in
its line. In 1900 L\ G. Welch wbo
was publishing the Sentinel advertised for a foreman, this ad came to
Mr. Ross' notice and with the result
that he became a resident of Clare
and for the past ten years has guided
the mechanical department of the
Sentinel.
Mr. Ross ii a member of the Masonic fraternity, also of the Forester*
and has taken an active interest in
the promotion of poultry interests
here, being himself a breeder of
hi.-h das? stock.
While of course every man hopes
to better his condition when eeekirag
new surroundings, it is to a considerable extent a matter of health that
leads him to attempt this new venture. He will leave a wide circle of
friend-* who, while regretting his
depsrture, will wish himself ar.d
family God speed In their long
journey and new home.
In the dense fog yesterday, passen-
gcr No. 3 west on the IVre Marquette
ran into tbo rear end cf a freigh
train just east of Coleman. Two or
three men were Injured.
The institute held here last Friday
and Saturday was *a reasonable success but the attendance was not
nearly what it should have been.
The president and secretary labored
deligently to make preparations, the
matter was well advertised, yet the
attendance was by fartooBlim. Prt s
ident Brown showed himself a first
class presiding officer. No time was
wasted and no subject allowed to
usurp the time of another. It would
be diftlcult to conceive of a better
conductor than Mr. McHride. Hi*
talks were all practical, he has his
subjects well thought out and is a
very concise and easy talker. Moreover he has tbe happy faculty of
knowing when be i« done, something
that some people never learn, Instead of assuming to tell peopie
everything, Le stated his own experience and then endeavored to
draw out tbat of others, constantly
seeking to imprtss the fact that
every one must itdapt any theory to
hi* own particular conditions.
Space will permit only a word here
and there. The topics selected for
discussion were ail practical ones
and the program could hardly bave
been bettered. Those who were
assigned parts for discussion in general responded and the readings,
recitations and music all helped to
make tbe sessions interesting.
Maintaing sell fertility was presented by Mr. McBride and discussed
by C. W. Perry, R. D. Bailey of Gay-
lord, and briefly by others Mr. McBride called attention to sections of
our country where the farms were almost depleted and of the large amount
foplant food originally stored inmost
soiis. Much of tbe discussion turned
on the use of commercial fertilizers,
authorities seeming to differ as to
tbeir value and use.
Mr. White from the Agricultural
College spoke on the apple as a
money crop, declaring that it could
be made to pay three or four times
as much as any other. So,much has
tho interest in this matter Increased
that some counties have from 12OG0
to 1S0C0 acres recently planted.
Spraying has become a necessity.
Poor, wormy fruit will no longer sell,
whiie a superior article is eagerly
sought after. Spra>in^ must be
thorough and done at the right time,
a few days' delay sometimes making
the work useless. In answer to a
question, Mr. White expressed the
opinion that the Northern Spy,
Rhode Island Greening, Canada Red
and Baldwin are the four moat valuable varities of winter apples f~r
tnis vicinity. Answering another
question, he said yellows in peach
trees cannot be controlled by spraying. Nothing short of cutting out
and burning atfectcd trees will answer.
In discussing this matter, Mr. Tatman said he not only intended to
spray the coming season but should
scrape his trees and scrub them
witb ashes and water to destroy insect pests.
Tbe question of good roads should
interest everybody and Dep. State
Highway Commissioner Rogers discussed the building of gravel roads
which he considers the most practicable as in general it is a labor proposition and the money tpent in building can be kept at home. Gravel
used is oftentimes too tine. To obtain
state bounty, road must ba nice feet
wide and grave! eight inches thick,
making ljOOvards of gravel to tho
mile. A gentleman present who came
from Onio and another from Illinois
stated that in the locality from which
they came the single road practice
had been discarded and two tracks
were maintai-.ed, one gravel, the
other dirt. Winn tte ground was
quite wet the farmer would lie used;
when dry, al-va\s the latter was
better.
R. I). Bailey n presenting the
Stato Library Commissioners explained the liberal conditions upon
which libraries are sent out, how
granges or anv body of people may
obtain a choice selection of M books
