Michigan Legislature Battles Over Dead Sand Bill and Labor Reform
April 29 1927 Lansing notes show the Senate debating a referendum tied to a dead sand bill and delaying its effect. The Binning labor bill triggers sharp clashes with claims it cedes power to the labor department. House action mixes lobbyist registration amid sweeping amendments. The session advances on contracts, appropriations, and taxes as governors consider reforms and bond refunding.

Canadian corn borer damage spurs Essex County clean-up drive
Essex county Ontario farmers toured infested fields with Ira Graham of the Essex county farm bureau to view the destruction from corn borers. Once 100000 acres, the county now supports under 30000 acres of corn, with 1996 a near total loss. Graham warned of rising loan scrutiny and likely mortgage foreclosures as a result. The visit included discussion with farm owners, ending with strong support for the campaign as a pivotal American agriculture effort. A separate note reports Carolyn Watson, daughter of Detroit residents, bitten badly by an Airedale dog in Tecumseh area, requiring multiple surgeries.
