TO RAISE CUCUMBERS.
Many Farmers Contract to Raise
• the Necessary Product for
Clare's Salting Station.
.Rapid progress Is being made in
securing contracts for the 200 acres of
cucumbers for the first year, necessary
to Insure the establishment of a salt-
Inc station in Olare. Many merchants
in Olare and rarmers within a radius
of ten miles are interesting themselves Jn the project. Everybody
seems to think it a irood thin-*;.
It is not uncommon for a single hill
in a garden to produce a peck and
with 1200 hills to an acre, even making all sorts of allowances, it is easy
to see that a considerable sum can be
realized from a single acre.
James Dunwoodie of blare is reeeiv-
■ ing contracts. Below we give
comments from a number of citizens
. selected miscellaneously.
MAYOB A. J. LACV.
We want a pickle salting station in
Clare because it will develop surrounding farming lands, prove profitable for
the farmers, bring trade to our city,
and probably lead to the establishment of other industries. We have
not been so fortunate as to secure a
chemical plant, canning factory, or
buggy works. Let us be more moderate ii our demands,—-larger industries
wili not be apt to come to a community which despises modest beginnings,
A GKNTX.E-HAN FB03L EVART.
- ' I- never made money as" easily as I
.-did this .year from   my   cucumber
plekles at '50c »a bushel. - Your con-
* tract gives 60c—It's alright.
JOHN SIGH, CliA-RE.
• I have seen pickle raising where the
greatest trouble was to get acres
enough raised the flrst year, but after
the farmers saw the profits at 45c
there was no such trouble further
< At 60c, well it's a cinch, that's all.
'•   J      GEQ-RGE H. HUDSON, FA_.*WE__.
•* There is plenty  of profit initio
•suit me, and 1 shall Rive it aa honest
•trial.   Would put in  two or three
acres but am afraid I could not find
enough hired help to pick them.
E. 0. "tVELCH, COM'R Oj? SChOOLS,
Land within ten miles of Clare will
igreatly Increase in value if the pickle
btation comes to Olare.  AfcAlma the
price of land doubled within two years
after the establishment Of p'ckling
and manufacturing plants there.
Farmers should look forward to this
advantage and think seriously before
they refuse to take a trial acre or two.
NELSON CABBOW, SHEBIDAN
Farmers should give this thing a
start by contracting for an acre or two
this year. There is no greater risk
than with any other crop, and the
Dailey Company would not put in an
expensive plant in Clare if they did
not know the farmers would take contracts the following year without
hesitation,—a sure proof that it will
pay us.
FRANK GORR, CLARE.
Yes, we'll help this along. By contracting we can't lose anything, and
we can't afford to miss this chance of
securing a pickling station a"t Clare, as
we assuredly will, if We can't get the
required acreage guaranteed the first
year.
"CHILIP GECK, HATTON.
Put me down quick,—its a good
thing. I will try to get several others
around here.
J. B. Tr/RBTJSH, SOTJTHWE3T VERNON.
Our land is very favorably adapted
to the raising of cucumbers, I would
like to raise several acres if I could
hire pickers enough.
DR. "T. A. REEDER, CLARE.
Just the thing to "encourage the
young folks. Give them a per cent
of the profits from what they carl
raise, and you will not see so many
boya wanting to leave the farm. .Far*
ents in this city having several children of suitable age could profitably
rent an acre near by, andin addition
to the gain in money, which .would be
considerable,- there would be the
greater galu in teaching them habits
ot thrift and keeping them from possibly worse habits which idle hands
find to do.

October Gfop Report.
According to facts gathered by the
department of state there was practically D.0 rainfall in the state during
October," being too dry lor wheat and
rye but no serioiis damage was done
to these *crops. The" condition of
wheat with the gerieral average of
other years is reported 85 in the
southern, 77 in the central and 88 in
the northern counties. It has grown
fairly well in spite of drouth and the
little damage is reported from the
Hess"ian fly. The number .of bushels
reported marketed from August 1st to
November 1st is 17,7/54,021'which is
30.0,487 bushels more than last year*. *
Corn resulted much better than expected with an aVerage. yield of 34
bushels per acre. In the state a,_out
43 per cent is cut up for fodder. The
average yield of clover was. 1.16 bushels per acre. The yield Of potatoes is
below the average bping estimated 80
bushels per acre in southern counties,
6S in central couiities dind 81 in northern counties. The condition of horses,
sheep and swine is exceptionally good.
Hog cholera is, however, prevalent in
many parts of the state. Pastures
were good during the fall and stock
will go into the winter,, in good con
,ditibn.
What does State Government Cost Clare
and Isabella Counties?
The tables given herewith invite attention. They show- that for the
year 1903 the state of Michigan pays over to Clare aod Isabella couhties
$8-10.00 in the form of primary money more thaa the two counties pay the
state in taxes. In only six townships are the state taxes in excess of primary
money. In' the other twenty-eight cases primary money is in excess o'f the
state tax. This is due to specific taxes on railroads iand othfr wrporations,
imposed by republican legislation.

ABANDON LOOMIS ROUTE.
$21093 00   $23302 70   "$427812
Pere Marquette will Utilize Harrison Branch for Their Road
to the Northwest.    •■
Information at hand, while not positive, seems to indicate that the Pere
Marquette railroad has abandoned the
much-talked-of new route north and
slightly west from Loomis to strike
the Harrison, branch northwest of the
county seat and will use the present
road from Clare to fierrison and on to
■Leota. The link to connect from
Leota to Stratford in 'northeast 'Missaukee county, it is understood, will
be built in the early spring and it is expected that the road direct to the
northwest, with its summer resorts,
will be in operation ready for next
summer's traffic.
The surveyors, who were at work
north of Loom^ have this week gone
on to Leota and are now engaged on
the survey from that point to Stratford.
The cost of building a new road bed
from Loomis to beyond Harrison
would be no -small item, probably in
comparison with-the cost of cutting
down and grading up to Hatton hill,
as pointed out by the Sentinel last
week.. It is to be presumed-that something will-be done to remedy the sudden upward grade at the hill' in question. The purpose of the recent surveys seems to be to find a route over
which the elevation of 500 feet from
the Saginaw-Ludington "line to Harrison would be distributed over the
fifteen or twenty miles of road.. • But
even if a new route should be chosen
it would need to cross the same range
of hills extending more or less irregularly from the southwest to the
northeast. Hatton hill'is very steep,
but a- fill of about thirty feet deep and
about one and one-half miles longfrom
hear Atwood's 'Siding to .the steep
raise in the Hatton hili, with some
cutting down, would materially aid In
securing a continuous elevation and
distribute it-over, much of the distance from Clare to Harrison. Besides it is possible by a little winding-
to avoid the steep hill and secure the
coveted well nigh uniform upward
grade.
That.the road direct to" the northeast'is to be built will be gratifying, to'
. the state south and east and that the
Harrison branch is to be utilized, wil
be welcomed by both Harrison and
Clare. . '  '
