THE CLARE SENTINEL
:i
Established 1878
S2.50 Year in Clare, Iss-jella Counties
THE CLARE SENTINEL, CLARE, MICHIGAN
Rosebush School District
pT
To Vote On Building Bond
A proposal to bond the Rosebush Public School District for
financing of an addition to the
building there will come before
the district voters on May 17.
The-measure calls ior, borrowing
$200,000. to construct Six elementary classrooms, an all-purpose room with toilet, facilities
and a kitchen, an administrative
office, a school library, randsah
arts, and crafts room -for. training and 4-H activities.
To pay for the project, district residents will need to vote
7 additional mills tax for. a 20-
year period,
In an effort to bring the. issue
before the public with explanation of the need for more classroom space, a brochure is being
circulated In the district. The
leaflet, together with letters to
parents of school children set
forth the crowded conditions in
the present building and the
necessity for curtailed activity
because of lack of njodern facilities. ; * ;
, .The information brochure
states that the. school houses 286
students this year in. a plant
that accommodated 179 hi 3,930.
Not shown are projected figures
for future enrollment, but
school populations are growing
everywhere and Rosebush expects accelerated enrollment increases too.
An open public meeting May
12 has been scheduled for discussion of the urgency of action
to provide i adequate classroom
space.
A citizens' committee has reported favorably on the building
plan.
Mrs. Dorothy Lowery,' school
principal said that kindergarten
pupils are attending classes in
the Walton school three miles
from the district school building
in Rosebush. Crowded conditions in the main building make
it necessary to conduct some
classes of instruction in the -corridors.
Lacking an assembly room,
graduation programs and other
audience-type affairs in connection with school programming
are held before small, selected
audiences. Supply storage, library, toilet facilities have all
outgrown available space, as
well as actual classroom teaching room.
' Proponents of the building
plan are pointing to other nearby school districts which have
recently voted debt service mill-
age to finance necessary expansion. The debt, in relation to district valuation is lower than
many in similar programs, they
say.

LL Tryouts
For Boys
• Little League tryouts are to be
held at the league field on Saturday, May 3 at 10 o'clock a.m.
Managers and sponsors of the
game for hoys explain that tryouts are open to' boys whether
they have been members of an
organized league team, or not.
New prospects are to bring cards,
already filled out with parents'
permission to play. The cards
are available at Clare Hardware,
or Green's Clothing store.
League Season begins with a
double-header on May IS.
Twenty-eight years ago beef
cattle 'interests held the first annual bull sale at Gladwin. The
distribution of good * beef bulls
consigned by Michigan leading
breeders through this sale has
had a marked impact on the development of the beef cattle industry throughout Northern
Michigan.
Progressive commercial producers interested in better sires
should attend bull sales where
top bulls are assembled in sufficient numbers to make possible
the selection and purchase of a
good bull. The 28th Annual
Gladwin Bull Show and Sale
held Thursday, May 8, at Gladwin offers to the public an opportunity to inspect and purchase at auction 40 top beef
bulls from the herds of Michigan's leading breeders.
Listed for sale on,May 8th are:
23 Herefords, 5 Angus, 11 Polled Herefords, and 5 Beef Shorthorns. Catalogs of the sale are
available at the Clare county
Extension office at Harrison.
The progressive breeder of reg-
istered beef cattle realizes that
the sale of increased numbers of
bulls is dependent upon their use
in commercial beef herds. Most
rapid improvement in a beef cattle program comes through the
use of good sires. Heavier wean
ing calf weights, improvement in
type, quality and stamped breed
character adds value to the immediate calf crop which makes
a good sire a cheap investment.
Feeder calf sales in Northern
Michigan in 1957, some with offerings, up to 1700 head and sales
totaling up to $180,000, stresses
the potential market for top beef
bulls in this area. Twenty-nine
cooperative feeder calf sales held
the past 13 years at West
Branch, Gaylord, Alpena, and Ontonagon, saw 27,375 cattle (mostly calves) sell for a total of
$2,992,116.
The development of the growing commercial beef program in
Northern Michigan was made
possible through the use of good
registered sires. The Gladwin
beef bull sales have been a contributing factor in bringing
about this development in commercial beef production ih
Northern Michigan extending into the Upper Peninsula.

Farmers Earn, Pride
As an appropriate part of Michigan Week ceremonies, "May 4 to
May 10, every citizen can pause
for a moment to doff his hat to
Mr. Michigan Farmer.
Agriculture is regarded as One
of the state's top three industries,
amounting to nearly $700 million
at the farm level. Michigan can
take pride, too, in the wide variety of crops that it -grows. Only
two or three other states can
boast of as many different food
products from the farm. About
the only items lacking are citrus;,
fruits, cotton and tobacco; ahd
it's hot uncommon to find back
yard gardeners growing tobacco
experimentally, and growing it
well;
Michigan grows in abundance
the common farm products peculiar to the .northern" half of the
nation, plus several crops that
aren't so common. These are
sometimes called specialty crops.
Their value will not aggregate
anything like the state's $125 million corn crop did last year, h\it
to the people raising them they
spell security, better, living, nicer
transportation and education ior
the growing generation.
Among Michigan's crops which
are little known except in the*
areas where they are grown are
hothouse rhubarb, peppemint,
mushrooms, wormwood, spearmint, hot peppers, popcorn, asparagus, cucumbers -for pickling
and other crops.
•About a third of the state's
agricultural income is derived
from dairying. Differing from the
distribution of some states, Michigan's milk, to the extent of about
half of the production, finds its
way after pasteurization to. the
consumer's table in beverage
form.
Poultry and poultry products
amount to another $70 million a
year, and this despite the fact
that Michigan still imports these
items from other states.
For years Michigan has led in
navy (pea) beans, yearly producing more than 90 percent of the
total national crop. Last year's
navy bean crop was 3,754,000
such bags. This was-a reduction
of about one-third from the year
before when production exceeded
5 million bags. Purchase a can of
pork and beans almost anywhere
in the nation and it is a 100 to 1
shot you are buying, Michigan
navy beans. The reason is that
canners prefer Michigan navy
beans over all other white beans
because the tiny, flavorful Michigan bean will not mush up under
processing.
visualize a ton of such cherries
is difficult, but it is even harder1
to imagine 89,000 tons of them.
That was Michigans production
last year. Most of them are canned or frozen, This is more than
60 percent of the total national
red tart cherry crop. Within the
past decade Michigan has not
failed once to produce more than
half of the country's entire crop.
The state is third in sWeet cherries.
In' 20 crops Michigan's production rank last year did not "fall
below 10th. Among the late producing states Michigan did not
fall below sixth in 14 other important crops,
•The state stands first nationally in production of cucumbers
for pickles, field beans, and red
tart cherries.
It is second in plums.
It is third nationally in produc-.
tion of apples, peaches, sweet
cherries, grapes and spearmint.
It is fourth in pears, Sugar beets
and buckwheat. •■ ■
It is fifth in peppermint, eighth
in tomatoes for processing, and
popcorn, and it stands ninth in
oats, and lima beans for processing.
It is ten+b. place nationally irt
the growing of corn, scy beans
and snap beans for processing.
Among the late producing
states it is first in fall celery,
strawberries and tomatoes; second ih cantaloupes, cauliflower-

Not shown are projected figures for future enrollment, but school populations are growing everywhere and Rosebush expects accelerated enrollment increases too. An open public meeting May 12 has been scheduled for discussion of the urgency of action to provide i adequate classroom space. A citizens' committee has reported favorably on the building plan. Mrs. Dorothy Lowery,' school principal said that kindergarten pupils are attending classes in the Walton school three miles from the district school building in Rosebush. Crowded conditions in the main building make it necessary to conduct some classes of instruction in the -corridors. Lacking an assembly room, graduation programs and other audience-type affairs in connection with school programming are held before small, selected audiences. Supply storage, library, toilet facilities have all outgrown available space, as well as actual classroom teaching room. ' Proponents of the building plan are pointing to other nearby school districts which have recently voted debt service mill- age to finance necessary expansion. The debt, in relation to district valuation is lower than many in similar programs, they say. Will Make Appointments For City ■_■"* Neyfljs, «.lected rClatf'imyor, Hon.

New prospects are to bring cards, already filled out with parents' permission to play. The cards are available at Clare Hardware, or Green's Clothing store. League Season begins with a double-header on May IS. Twenty-eight years ago beef cattle 'interests held the first annual bull sale at Gladwin. The distribution of good * beef bulls consigned by Michigan leading breeders through this sale has had a marked impact on the development of the beef cattle industry throughout Northern Michigan. Progressive commercial producers interested in better sires should attend bull sales where top bulls are assembled in sufficient numbers to make possible the selection and purchase of a good bull. The 28th Annual Gladwin Bull Show and Sale held Thursday, May 8, at Gladwin offers to the public an opportunity to inspect and purchase at auction 40 top beef bulls from the herds of Michigan's leading breeders. Listed for sale on,May 8th are: 23 Herefords, 5 Angus, 11 Polled Herefords, and 5 Beef Shorthorns. Catalogs of the sale are available at the Clare county Extension office at Harrison. The progressive breeder of reg- istered beef cattle realizes that the sale of increased numbers of bulls is dependent upon their use in commercial beef herds. Most rapid improvement in a beef cattle program comes through the use of good sires. Heavier wean ing calf weights, improvement in type, quality and stamped breed character adds value to the immediate calf crop which makes a good sire a cheap investment. Feeder calf sales in Northern Michigan in 1957, some with offerings, up to 1700 head and sales totaling up to $180,000, stresses the potential market for top beef bulls in this area. Twenty-nine cooperative feeder calf sales held the past 13 years at West Branch, Gaylord, Alpena, and Ontonagon, saw 27,375 cattle (mostly calves) sell for a total of $2,992,116. The development of the growing commercial beef program in Northern Michigan was made possible through the use of good registered sires. The Gladwin beef bull sales have been a contributing factor in bringing about this development in commercial beef production ih Northern Michigan extending into the Upper Peninsula. World's Biggest The world's largest bean elevator is located at Saginaw.

Farmers Earn, Pride As an appropriate part of Michigan Week ceremonies, "May 4 to May 10, every citizen can pause for a moment to doff his hat to Mr. Michigan Farmer. Agriculture is regarded as One of the state's top three industries, amounting to nearly $700 million at the farm level. Michigan can take pride, too, in the wide variety of crops that it -grows. Only two or three other states can boast of as many different food products from the farm. About the only items lacking are citrus;, fruits, cotton and tobacco; ahd it's hot uncommon to find back yard gardeners growing tobacco experimentally, and growing it well; Michigan grows in abundance the common farm products peculiar to the .northern" half of the nation, plus several crops that aren't so common. These are sometimes called specialty crops. Their value will not aggregate anything like the state's $125 million corn crop did last year, h\it to the people raising them they spell security, better, living, nicer transportation and education ior the growing generation. Among Michigan's crops which are little known except in the* areas where they are grown are hothouse rhubarb, peppemint, mushrooms, wormwood, spearmint, hot peppers, popcorn, asparagus, cucumbers -for pickling and other crops. •About a third of the state's agricultural income is derived from dairying. Differing from the distribution of some states, Michigan's milk, to the extent of about half of the production, finds its way after pasteurization to. the consumer's table in beverage form. Poultry and poultry products amount to another $70 million a year, and this despite the fact that Michigan still imports these items from other states. For years Michigan has led in navy (pea) beans, yearly producing more than 90 percent of the total national crop. Last year's navy bean crop was 3,754,000 such bags. This was-a reduction of about one-third from the year before when production exceeded 5 million bags. Purchase a can of pork and beans almost anywhere in the nation and it is a 100 to 1 shot you are buying, Michigan navy beans. The reason is that canners prefer Michigan navy beans over all other white beans because the tiny, flavorful Michigan bean will not mush up under processing. visualize a ton of such cherries is difficult, but it is even harder1 to imagine 89,000 tons of them. That was Michigans production last year. Most of them are canned or frozen, This is more than 60 percent of the total national red tart cherry crop. Within the past decade Michigan has not failed once to produce more than half of the country's entire crop. The state is third in sWeet cherries. In' 20 crops Michigan's production rank last year did not "fall below 10th. Among the late producing states Michigan did not fall below sixth in 14 other important crops, •The state stands first nationally in production of cucumbers for pickles, field beans, and red tart cherries. It is second in plums. It is third nationally in produc-. tion of apples, peaches, sweet cherries, grapes and spearmint. It is fourth in pears, Sugar beets and buckwheat. •■ ■ It is fifth in peppermint, eighth in tomatoes for processing, and popcorn, and it stands ninth in oats, and lima beans for processing. It is ten+b. place nationally irt the growing of corn, scy beans and snap beans for processing. Among the late producing states it is first in fall celery, strawberries and tomatoes; second ih cantaloupes, cauliflower- summer celery, sweet corn and asparagus -for processing; third ip cabbage and onions; fourth in a^paragws i |
