GIVE FARMERS §50-A-DAY IDEA
Agricultural   College  Experts  Have
Bright Scheme,
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 24.—Agricultural college experts here are advising farmers to ride the disk if they
would add $50 a day to their incomes.
A test disclosed that stubble land
disked July 15 and then plowed seven
inches deep August 15 yielded three
and a half more bushels of wheat to
the acre than fields not so treated.
Average wheat price has been $1,
and since a farmer can dis*k 15 acres
a day or more, his income might
jump according to the days he spent
on the implement.—Detroit Free
Press.

Parsons & Dodge and Herman Heininger. Suffer Heavy Losses.
At about nine o'clock Tuesday
morning the garage of Parsons &
Dodge was destroyed by fire, caused
by the explosion of an acetylene
tank located in the rear room of the
long building, which instantly ignited the oily floors, and with the acetylene gas, the entire rear of the building was a roaring furnace in. a very
few minutes.
Ed. Harper, mechanic in the work
room, lighted a match to start the
acetylene torch, which instantly seemed to backfire with an explosion
which was heard some distance.
Harper dropped to the floor and under
dense smoke and debris crawled* out
of the building, his face slightly
burned.
The local fire department lost no
time in getting to the scene and soon
had the chemical tanks and two lines
of hose from the water mains doing
full duty, but the flames had gained
such headway that it took some minutes before any effect was realized.
Several lines of hose from nearby
dwellings were also brought into use.
The frame"** storehouse east of the
garage took fire and for a time destruction for many other buildings
farther on seemed almost certain, but
prompt action saved them.
The fire department at Bridgewater
made a quick run here, as did a detachment from Ann Arbor, but the
fire was practically under control
when they arrived. The Ypsilanti
fire department was stalled by a
broken engine when about five miles
east of town and unable to get here.
It was most fortunate that the fire
did not reach the filling station tanks.
There were eleven cars in the garage, two demonstrators, and several
others belonging to the firm; one
owned by Herman Heininger, a sedan belonging to Ed. Heininger; also
a new corn binder, manure spreader,
two trucks and a large amount of
various accessories for autos and
farm machinery. A part of the office equipment was saved, although
badly drenched and smoked.
The loss to the firm is quite large,
with partial insurance. The building
is owned by Herman Heininger and
aside from the side walls little remains except the front, the roof in
places simply hanging.

CUPOLAS WILL HELP TO
PREVENT   BARN   FIRES
Every Farmer Should Be Guided By
This Valuable Iniormation.
One of the causes of barn fires during the haying season, says the research department of the National
Association of Farm Equipment Manufacturers, is a lack of ventilation in.
the mow. Hay which is put into the
barn damp or green, heats and forms
combustible gases. If these gases are
quickly removed by a ventilation system such as that supplied by a cupola on the barn, the danger of spontaneous combustion is lessened.
Three large barns were recently destroyed by fire near Hastings, Minnesota, in one week. The cause in each
case was given as spontaneous combustion, resulting from heated hay.
None of the barns was equipped with
cupolas.
The United States Department of
Agriculture offers three, recommendations for the "prevention of spontaneous combustion:' First, mowing only properly cured hay;.second, the use
of salt on green hay and third, free
ventilation after storage. Farmers
have found that it is a mistake to dig
into hay which starts heating in the
barn and to admit air to the heated
portion. It is wiser to leave the surface unmolested. ,

CAMPFIRE GIRLS
The Campfire Girls spent last week
in. the Feldkamp cottage et Portage
lake. The days were filled with pleasurable affairs and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. We learned how
to swim, dive and row boats. We had
programs every night and one evening we had a marshmallow roast.
Saturday night we had a mock
wedding. Many incidents happened
in this affair, such as forgetting to
give the ring to the bride, and many
others.
Every morning we took a dip. This
freshened us from our night's sleep.
Sunday morning we had a church
program, and a lovely dinner followed
soon after.
Miss Robillard and fMiss Shaw were
our guardians for the week. Saturday Miss Stone came to visit us. Mrs.
Kuehner of Ann Arbor was our cook.
We came home Sunday afternoon,
and we hope to go again some time.
