T HE  M.  A. C.  RECORD. 

HORT. CLUB. 

PROCLAMATION  BY GOV. 
WARNER. 

Mr.  Kohler  gave  an  interesting 
and  instructive  talk  on " T he  Horti 
culture  of I o w a"  at  t he  Hort.  Club 
last  Wednesday  night. 

T he  latitude  of Jowa  is  about  the 
same  as  that  of  Michigan,  but  it  is 
situated  away  from  t he  modifying 
influences  of  the  Great  Lakes  and 
has a  much  more  severe  and  vari 
there  often  being  a 
able  climate, 
change  of 50 degrees 
temperature 
within  a  few  hours.  T he  soil, 
largely  of glacial  origin,  is in  many 
places  dark  and  heavy  and  very  fer 
tile,  so that  the  fruit  industry  gives 
way  to  stock  and  grain 
farming. 
T h e re  is, however,  some  lighter  soil 
in  the  southwestern  part  of the  state, 
and  it is here  that  horticulture  is  the 
most  highly  developed.  But  t he 
population  is  comparatively 
and  the  work  is not  nearly  so  thor 
ough  nor  intensive  as  in Michigan. 
To  get  a concrete  idea  of the  ex 
tent  of  the  fruit  industry  in Iowa  the 
following  comparisons  were  made : 

small 

MICHIGAN. 
Apples  11,000,000  trees. 
Cherries  895,000 trees, 194,000 bushels. 
Plums  213,000 bushels. 
Grapes 5,250.000 vines. 
Grapes  41,500,000,  pounds, 

IOWA. 
Apples 9,000,000  trees 
Cherries  791,000 trees, 118,000 bushels. 
Plums  186,000 bushels. 
Grapes 2,000,000 vines. 
Grapes  7,500,000 pounds. 
In  the  production  of  currants 
Michigan  ranks  2d and  Iowa  3rd ; 
while  in  gooseberries  Iowa  is  2nd 
and  Michigan  is 7th. 

T he  general  yield  of fruit  in  I o wa 
is  much  lower  than  in  Michigan  due 
largely  to  poorer  methods  of culture. 
And  the  quality  is also  lower  as  only 
the  hardy  varieties  can be  g r o wn 
successfully. 

T he  people  of Iowa  are at  t he 
present  time  taking  much 
interest 
in  Horticulture,  and  extensive  w o rk 
is  being  carried  on to  develop n ew 
and  hardy  varieties  that  will  with 
stand  the  climate. 

After  a general  discussion  Grimes 
Golden  apples  were  served,  and the 
club  adjourned  to meet  on  Tuesday 
night  the  following  week,  so as  to 
not  conflict  with  the mass  meeting. 

Poultry  Raising  is the  title  of  I n 
structor  Halpin's  new  bulletin  issued 
as  N o.  245  from  the  F a rm  Depart 
ment.  T he  purpose  of  this  publica 
tion  as stated  in the  introduction  is 
to  meet  the  demand  throughout  the 
state  from  beginners  in  the  poultry 
business  and  others  for  information 
relating  to this  particular  branch of 
farming.  T he aim is to make  a 
presentation  of the  subject  in  as 
practical  a manner  as possible,  deal 
ing  only  with  the  most  elementary 
problems.  Subjects  considered  are 
Selection  of Parent  Stock,  Incuba 
tion,  Brooding,  Diseases,  Handling 
Y o u ng  Stock,  and Food,  care and 
management  of  Pullets  during  fall 
and  winter.  T he bulletin  explains 
the  arrangement  of buildings,  some 
thing  of the  future  policy  of  this  de 
partment,  and  furnishes  an  excellent 
report  of the  work  during  the  past 
year. 

T he  hockey  games  played  by  the 
young 
ladies  Friday  excited  much 
interest  on  the part  of the  students 
especially  the  class  in  surveying. 

W.  D.  F r a z er  has  been  acting as 
sergeant  of the  hospital  squad  dur 
ing  Mr.  P a r k e r 's  illness. 

To  the  People  of the  State of  Mich 

igan,  Greeting : 
It  was  a progressive  and  enlight 
ened  public  sentiment  that  brought 
about  the  observance  of Arbor  day. 
Responsive  to  that 
sentiment  1 
hereby  designate  Friday,  M ay  3, 
1907,  as 

ARBOR  D A Y. 

in  and for the state  of  Michigan. 
T he  reasons  w hy  this  day  should 
be  observed  by planting  trees,  vines 
and  shrubs  appeal  to  every  home-
loving  citizen  of Michigan.  It  is 
not  given  to all  to own  a portion of 
the  soil  from  which  comes  the  sus 
tenance  for all  and  it is the duty of 
those  w ho  do  to make  more  attract 
ive  and  beautiful 
that  rich  heritage 
Michigan's  pioneers  redeemed  from 
the  wilderness.  By  planting  trees 
about  the  homes  and  along  the  high 
ways  this  can  be done. 

N ot  alone  in the  family  or by the 
individual  should  Arbor  day be  cele 
brated  and  observed. 
T h o se  in 
charge  of our  public  schools  can 
and  should  arrange  a program  of 
exercises  for  this  day  that  will im 
press  upon  the  minds  of  our  youth 
the  duty  we  owe  ourselves  and  pos 
terity.  We  should  leave  this  earth 
than  we  found it. 
more  beautiful 
By  planting  and  caring  for  the  trees 
we  are  making  our  homes  more 
beautiful,  our  state  more  attractive 
and  utilizing  one of  God's  best  gifts 
to  His  children. 

Another  mass  meeting  is to be 
held  Wednesday  evening  at 6 ."45 
and  everybody  must  come.  One of 
the  songs  to be  rendered  is  the 
chorus  as sung  at  the  recent  None 
such : 

T he  Dean  has  her eyes  on  you 

So  get  wise,  be  careful  what  you  do. 
Don't  go walking  off  the  campus 

with  your  lady  love. 
Don't  spoon  along  the river  like  t wo 

doves. 

T he  Dean  has h er  eyes  on you, 
She  will  con  you  and  your  girly  too. 
Be  careful  if  you  want  to  stay 

the  whole  term  thro'. 
F or  the  Dean,  she  ha£  her  eyes on 

you.
