The northern point, which is separated from the upper peninsula, is the Straits of Mackinac. The upper peninsula has a rough, hilly or mountainous surface. Its climate is cool and the summers are cool with the winters severe and subject to very heavy snowfalls. Die upper peninsula is one of the most important iron-produc-ing regions of the world. It also accounts for nearly 3/4 million cords or two-thirds of the state cut, of pulpwood. The lower peninsula has a mild climate during summer and parts of the state are very cold.

as Grand Traverse bay in this region, as far as 5 to 10 miles inland, damaging frosts seldom occur. This is called Michigan’s fruit belt. In this fiuit belt, large quantities of apples, peaches, plums, cherries and small fruits are grown. The peach crop varies from 500,000 to 1,000,000 bushels a year.

Michigan leads the world in the manufacturing of automobiles, mobile homes, boats, cereal and sporting goods. The state’s population more than doubled from 1920 to 1960, reaching 7,823,194. This figure is expected to reach 10 million by 1970. Michigan has 17 million acres of forest land and more than 60 state parks for year-round recreation. Michigan also has a young population. There are 682,000 residents between 18 and 24 years of age. In 1973 this number should increase by 91 per cent. The state flower is the apple blossom, state bird the robin and the state tree is the white pine. Michigan is the playground of a nation. Refreshments were served at close of the meeting.
