IZi () For State Farmers This Year ROTARIANS HEAR STORY OF 1932 OLYMPIC GAMES George Dol liver. Member of State Committee, Principal Speaker At Noon Luncheon. CITY CHEMIST FORCED TO QUIT JILL METHODIST PASTORS RETURN OF QMS SEEN Production of 3,251,000 Bushels Expected; Crop Above Average Near Marshall. Michigan's onion crop of 1932 probably will be the greatest on record in this state.

The Michigan crop reporting service has forecast an output ot 3,251,000 bushels from 8.670 acres in the state this year. The average production Is only 1,244.000 bushels annually and the highest previous output was 2,767,000 bushels In 1930. Only one other state In the union is expected to surpass the Michigan production New York with 3,508.000 bushels. Indiana expects 2.960,000 bushels and California, 1,774,000 bushels to follow Michigan in order, the Associated Press states. While Michigan growers may derive encouragement in the indication that yields will probably jump from 185 bushels in 1931 to about 375 bushels an acre this year, the price situation is not a favorable one.

The trend for production increase in this state has been followed elsewhere with a forecast of a boost from 18,984,000 bushels in 1931 to 27.569.000 bushels this year in the nation's crop. In 1930, when Michigan had its record crop, the price dropped to an averase of 43 cents a bushels. The short crop of 1931 caused the average price to jump to 75 cents. Reports Indicate the crop is above the average in the Marshall, Jackson, and Grant areas but below normal in the Hudson-vllle and Byron center districts. DRY COUNCIL TO MEET Ernest S.

SHAFER for rX JrViMam Rothbergh Resigns by Requast of Commissioners Wright and Quick. NEW RULE IS INVOKED Action Taken Because Wife Is Employed; Has Served in Post for Nine Years. City Chemist William Rothberg resigned today, effective at once, on the request of Commissioners Wright and Quick.

The office was temporarily unfilled this afternoon, pending a decision by the commissioners on a successor to Mr. Rothberg who will be acceptable and will meet the requirements of the Michigan state department of public health. Mr. Rothberg's resignation was requested because of the city commission's resolution, adopted several weeks ago. under which neither a husband or his wife may remain on the city's payroll when the other Is (vlso employed at a reasonable salary.

Wife Is Employed Mrs. Rothberg is one of four registered nurses employed by the public schools and has received her contract for another year. Mr. Rothberg said today that his plans for the future were not definitely formulated. Since the change in city administration last spring the compensation of the city chemist has been sharply reduced, the slash amounting to about 38 percent con sidering the elemination of fees formerly received from the county.

xnat There might be a con troversy over Mr. Rothberg's pay appeared today when it was learned that the commissioners would oppose his receiving any compensation lor the time he has worked since September 1. This time amounts to about a week. The re-mainder of the time since Septem ber 1 Mr. Rothberg was out of the city on a vacation, but he received his salary check for the week he was' away.

Commissioner Wright claims that he told Mr. Rothberg he was not to have a vacation with pay as in former years. Con sequently Mr. Wright argues that the chemist should not be paid for the week he worked after the rule went Into effect. "Nothing Personal" There Is nothing personal hi this matter," Mr.

Wright declared. It is simply that the commission's resolution requires him to quit." The city will get along without a chemist until a successor is secured, referring emergency analyses to the laboratory at Leila hospital. A telegram was sent this morn-Jng by the commissioners to a former Battle Creek man now teaching In the northern part of the state, offering him the place, but a reply had not been received early this afternoon. If the man accepts It will be necessary for him to meet state qualifications.

VP) An encouraging harvest outlook today faced Michigan bean, potato and sugar beet farmers, the state crop reporting service said in its monthly report. With the exception of these three crops and disappointing yields for oats and barley, little change was seen in the outlook for other field and fruit crops. The service! estimated the field bean crop at 6,480.000 bushels with an indicated yield of 12 bushels an acre. compares- with nine bushels last year and a 10-year average of 10.6 bushels. While a bumper crop is anticipated in this state, the national outlook is for a considerable reduction, giving Michigan farmers a price advantage.

The indicated output in the great northern area, or competing section, is 44 percent under the har vest of last year. A similar price advantage may be enjoyed by potato growers. The Michigan crop is estimated at 500,000 bushels, the largest since 1928, with an average yield of 100 that involves responsibility for the lives and health cf every person in Battle Creek because of the necessity to safeguard the city's milk and water supplies and determine whether patients are suffering in fection. Mr. Rothberg came to Battle Creek in March 1923 as city chemist and bacteriologist.

In charge of the city's laboratories in the health department on the first floor of the city hall Mr. Rothberg conducted the laboratory control of the city's milk supply, the city's wter supply and a compete diagnostic service to physicians for the control of communicable diseases. He assisted Dr. Hoyt in connection with the laboratory work of the various city clinics. Columbia Graduate Mr.

Rothberg graduated from Columbia university in 1917 with a B. S. degree in bacteriology and chemistry, and soon after that he entered the army being connected with the medical corps engaged in laboratory work. In 1923 he was employed by Dr. A.

A. Hoyt, city health officer, with the approval of the city commission and the then mayor, Charles C. Green. Mr. Rothberg's salary previous to the cut was $2,400.

in addition to which were fees he received from the county for analysis in liquor cases. These fees had amounted to about S500 a year and were paid to him by the county, not by the city. After the city commission passed a resolution prohibiting employes from receiving fees, a resolution was adopted cutting the city chemist's salary 25 percent, making it $1,800. Wlille Mr. Rothberg had understood that he was not to continue in office after September 1 he remained pending definite word from the commissioners that he was no longer to perform the duties.

Typewriting was dropped at the Urbandale school last venr bpeauiw of insufficient demand for It and the typewriters were taken from there to Southeastern. This fall, however, there was a demand for typing at Urbandale and it was arranged to take eight machines from Vocational and two from Southwestern to Urbandale. Increased enrollment in the Vocational school typing classes with the shortage of typewriters made the noon class necessary. It is held from 12:30 to 1:15, giving the students from 12 to 12:30 for their lunch.

Shafer of the Battle Creek Municipal Court Is seeking your support in the primary election tomorrow for the Republican nomination for the office of Judge of Probate. FIRST: Justice Shafer's conduct of the Municipal court justifies your confidence.

His record includes: Elimination of professional bondsmen, preventing involved court proceedures in criminal cases with the resultant saving of thousands of dollars annually for Calhoun County and the defendants. Handling of 90 percent of the criminal cases originating in the western portion of Calhoun County and more than 12,000 civil damage actions with only two reversals of appealed decisions. Saving of thousands of dollars to the city and county by speedy consideration of criminal matters and by proper handling of ordinance matters so that the maximum number of offenders paid fines into the city treasury. Strict enforcement of all laws without iear or favor. SECOND: Justice Shafer has recommended and advocated certain changes in probate court affairs with a view of giving the public the most economical service in the court's dealing with the public.

In his belief the operating costs can, and must be reduced, at the same time furnishing prompt, efficient service. He believes there can be more cooperating between court, parents and social agencies in the care and supervision of delinquent children. He will strive for an impartial handling of mothers' pension cases which took $58,000 of county funds last year, his aim being to give these mothers and children adequate care without increasing the total amount paid. He maintains a great deal of expense can be avoided for litigants and taxpayers by holding certain hearings in Battle Creek, as needed, to care for juvenile cases, mothers' pension applications and hearings on claims. It is now necessary for all witnesses in juvenile cases to travel to Marshall to be heard by the probate judge.

And the same is true in mothers' pension affairs. Justice Shafer would set aside one specific day each week to meet Battle Creek needs. As to Justice Shafer's ability to effect changes of this nature he points to the fact that although Marshall is the of Justice" for Calhoun county, circuit court sessions are held in Battle Creek and a branch office of the county clerk is maintained here, while precedent for like service by the probate court has been set elsewhere in Michigan. Justice Shafer's candidacy is endorsed by business and professional men, public officials, club women and others who believe the time has come for a change to be made. A vote for Paul W.

Shafer for Judge of Probate tomorrow will be a vote for a courteous, efficient and friendly administration of the duties of that office.
