Rotarians and a few farmer
guests had the pleasure of hearing an informative address on
sugar beets at tht meeting of the
club at The Tavern last Thursday
nron.
Glenn R. Larke, editor of the
Sugar Beet Journal, of Saginaw
told "The Story of Michigan
Sugar" in such a way as to not
only hold the rapt attention of
his audience but inspired a number to ask questions, which he
answered,   following   his   address.
Our readers will no doubt be
surprised to know that the first
attempt to make sugar from
beets occurred 103 years ago in
St. Joseph county. This state,
the speaker said, is ideally situated for beet culture on account
of climate, soil and a dense population in the southern half to
consume - the product. ^. We could
raise enough to supply* one-fourth
of the United States, and should
be doing it. As it is we do not
raise enough to supply more than
30 per cent for our own needs.
3Mr. Larke stated that beets
is one of the best crops to raise,
for it is easier on the soil than
any other crop if an intelligent
rotation is followed.
D. A. Robison, F. J. 3Marion
and Clarence Carr were in attendance, Arthur Heininger and
Harry Fosdick from towni, and
Rotarians R. F. Burlajain, Webb
Blackmer and H. C. Holland of
3Milan, Dr. Dean W. Myers and
Fred L. McCumber of Ann Arbor. ;

Every Farmer Should
Know the Law and
Where He Stands.

church, Jackson, will be the guest

program next Wednesday.
Annual School
Some misunderstanding has
arisen about the new wheat marketing system. The farmers of
the nation voted to put in effect
a law v/hich has existed since
1938 but has not been enforced.
It requires every farmer to procure a wheat marketing card
from the AAA office before he
can sell his wheat. The elevators
can not buy wheat from farmers
who do not have a wheat marketing card. The AAA office has
found it impossible to send out
letters to all farmers. But
whether a farmer receives a letter from the AAA office or not
he must go there in person and
apply for a wheat marketing
card.
The records in the AAA office
will tell how many acres of
wheat a farm has planted and
if it is over the allotment the
owner must pay the government
49 cents a bushel for the excess
wheat or provide two bondsmen
who will sign nis bond promising to store the excess for one
year. After the year has expired
he may sell the wheat at the
market price.
Some farmers have never enrolled in the AAA program. Some
did several years ago but have
not for the last two or three
years. This has produced a muddled understanding of the law.
Some think because they did not
sign this year they are not held
to quotas. Airplane views of all
farms are on file in the AAA office and Harry Cole and his assistants are busy figuring out the
quotas for those farmers who did
not understand the new law.
Friday was a big day in the.
AAA office. Due to rain many
farmers found it convenient to
go for the marketing cards.
They had thought it would merely be a matter of asking for a
card and * departing. Imagine
the mix-up when they found _hey
had to give the township and
wait for the figures to be produced as to their quotas, how much
they must pay the government
or howfcmany bushels they must
agree to store for one year.
No part of the wheat crop can
be sold until the farmer settles
with Uncle Sain on the excess
amount, if any. That is where
the squawking comes it. Many
had planned to sell wheat immediately after threshing to meet
obligations. One farmer took his
wheat to the elevator and was
astonished when he was told they
could- not purchase it because he
had no marketing card. He took
the wheat home and stall has it.
Many farmers from Saline
township. York, I_odi and 3Pitts-
field, were in the Une 3Friday. And
many more will have to go before
they can dispose of the new wheat
crop. Many want the law repealed. But the biggest problem
falls on the shoulders of Harry
M. Cole as he tries to explain to
each farmer just why he must
arrange to settle with Uncle Sam
for wheat produced oh his own
farm before he can sell his crop.

at Interlochen, 15 miles south of
Traverse City. Concerts are
broadcast from here every Sunday night over a national hookup. Outstanding music leaders
such as Paul Whiteman, Walter
