CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP The old, standpat, republican machine, in combination with certain Eo-called democrats, is attempting to obtain a strangle hold on the city administration. The administration of Mayor Quick, himself an honorable, upright official, is honeycombed, saturated apd top heavy with treachery. There are now men drawing pay checks from the city through appointment or recommendation by the mayor, who are secretly conspiring to encompass his downfall. The greatest complaint that is heard of Mayor Quick is that he is too broadly tolerant to recreant subordinates whom he must know are disloyal to him and his purposes. ) There are few men placed in the position of Mayor Quick who would have stood for the impudent assurtmce of Phil McAbee as long as he did. McAbee^ assumed to be greater than the power that appointed him. Although the mayor is the responsible head of the police deparment, McAbee had the gall to adopt the view that the mayor had the right only to attend meetings of the board of safety in the capacity of a spectator. Acting with Charley Fiber, a co-conspirator, McAbee attempcd to hold a secret meeting in order to remote four officers in whom Mayor Quick had especial confidence. The axe was gleefully whetted, the stage was set, serveling policemen and others were drafted to testify at the “trial,” the executioner got the basket ready, swung.the axe, and lo, and behold, his hand slipped, the blade fell on his own neck, and his own head was the first to roll into the basket that was meant to be a receptacle of the heads of his victims." The funny part of it was that Phil didn’t know.that he had been decapitated. Although he was fired by the mayor, and his pay stopped, a loud and raucous noise emanated from the basket. Phil refused to quit after he had been fired. Being a manufacturer, and naturally used to firing other people, he failed to recognize the rattle of the, can when it was tied onto him by the mayor. Fisher is still hanging to his job, presumably by the eyebrows. Caught in such an act of despicable treachery to his chief, the ordinary individual would have resigned at once. He was ip the play with McAbee to carry out the orders of the Ku Kiu Kl&n. The clique of policemen who thought McAbee and Fisher could buffalo the mayor, were also in the conspiracy and were all set to tattle a lot of silly stuff about their brother officers. The gang that guessed wrong-* and who took a hand in this conspiracy should all be removed from office. The mayor will do himself and the people of Muncie a great wrong if he permits , a man in a single department of the city to remain in office who is not absolutely loyal to him'and the policies he hopes to carry out. i The decent, law abiding people of Muncie, regardless of race, religion or politics are depianding a thorough cleaning of the Augean stables. No man who recognizes allegiance to .a bulldozing, lawless organization like the Kir Klux kfim should be permitted for an instant to hold office in Muncie or Delaware county. The best people of Muncid will back the mayor to the limit in his evident desire to destroy the power of this hideous, fantastic and utterly criminal organization.
President Harding has notified the governors of the forty eight states of the union to get the gatling gun ready. It will be observed that when soldiers are called out to settle strikes, the laboring men, who furnish the majority of the votes of the nation, are invariably regarded as the “enemy”. The mine and railroad strikes cannot be settled by bullets and bayonets.
United States District Attorney Homer Elliottis one of those courageous individuals who has the courage of a lion when the object of his dislike is sixty miles away. To men of his caliber it Is easy to call a man a liar by mail or telephone. He ought to try if once at short range.
Ml
The district attorney writes in his letter that in case the editor of the Post-Democrat takes exceptions to his statements, he can be found in his office six days in the week from nine to five, meaning that he invites a fistic encounter. We have no kick on Elliott’s letter. We enjoyed reading it, immensely. Telling the truth about Homer evidently got und[er his hide. It was the best evidence in the world that he was deserving of criticism. The indications are, by the way, that Elliott will lose his job because of his part in the Cahill case, in which event he will depart for Punkin Center, or wherever it was that Harry New got him from, and will subside into the dense obscurity from which he was dragged by his political friends.
Tt was the democratic member of the board of safety who preyg Rented the republican majority from scuttling the ship of the republican mayor who appointed 'them. Jack Collins is an hoilor»able man and he performed his whole duty to the administration of which he is a part when he prevented the two republican members from performing an act of treachery to the mayor of the • city.
IS IT THE END? Secretary of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace is quoted as saying in regard to form land “we have come to the end of the period of expansion. Thg 1 enlarged food production needed must come largely through yields from a land already under'cultivation and through a better utilization of what we produce.” The question is wether or not Mr. Wallace is correct. The government now is considering reclaiming the Colorado basin and should contemplated plans work cut 5,000,000 acres of desirable farm land will be added to the country’s wealth and that is not all. This great Basin has many more thousands of acres which can be reclaimed. It is belived too something can be done with the swamplands of the South, In the pass two decades more than a million acres of land have been reclaimed and greatly paid in their productions, one unit alone producing $80,000,000 worth of products. In this great country of ours there is no doubt large areas well worth reclaiming. Growth of population has brought about a question of what can be done and in this respect it has been pointed out that Japan has built rice marshes on hill sides, and it is said the waste here is watched as carefully as Japan watches her rice the acreage in America can be made very much greater and would meet to large extent problems coming with increased population. It is not believed America is as yet to the end of farm development.

MIKING THROUGH THE DUNES CHICAGO.—Elliot R. Downing of the University of Chicago has written a new type of nature-guide in “A Naturalist in the Great Lakes
Region.”
He has abandoned the old method of treating plants and animals as isolated individuals and deals with them in groups and associate»ns affected by environment. He sketches the geological history of th^ north central states and that part of Canada within the basin of the Gr^at Lakes and sets forth the evolution and interrelation of the plant and animal life adapted to the climate and soil of this region, c Prof. Downing has designed his little book to be the companion of loveis of out-of-doors in the Great Lakes region. It tells the reader what to look for there and in places with similar ^mate and topography and how to identify what he sees on hikes through the countryside. It is particularly full of information regarding) the sand dunes of the southern shore of Lake Michigan, the only desert east
of the Mississippi.

Serious losses of wheat from anthracnose, a disease causing shortened, poorly filled heads and slender, weak straw are attracting the attention of Experiment Station botanists. The disease can be distinguished in the harvested grain or in that yet standing by the poorly filled heads and weakened, crooked straw. By the aid of a, magnifying glass the spots of fungus may be seen on the heads, sheaths, and stems of the plant. They are most numerous neay
thei lower nodes.
A thorouh screening out of shriveled kernels followed by formalin treatment of seed will help in checking the
disease.
It is clearly dangerous to seed wheat after wheat. An examination of a 40 acre field of wheat following wheat near Waverly, Ohio, showed^a loss from the disease estimated at 90 percent, while in an adjoining field wlj^re wheat followed corn the loss
was only one-third as great

Don’t stop feeding cither chicks or laying hens this summer. It is the worst mistake a' poultry man can make, say specialists in the subject, ^nd it never pays. Last year ,spud fields sprayed with Bordeaux on 56 Ohio farms gave an average of 30 bushels more to the acre. Not to spray is to take an almost certain loss from hopper--fcurn an<j other troubles.

FRUIT GROWERS PLAN LARGE SALES AGENCY
Fruit Grower Enabled to Sell His Product Co-operatively at
All City Markets.
The establishment of a nation-wide
sales -and distribution service by the Federated Fruit Growers, Inc., has just been announced by the American Farm Bureau federation. A contract has been signed with the North American Frhit Exchange whereby the force and effectiveness of the two organizations uir^, brought together under the name of (lie Federated Fruit Growers,
Inc., effective January 1, 1923. The North American Fruit Exchange
bus been 'operating as a nation-wide, non-speculative sales agency for fruit and vegetable products since 1911 and is now being uspd by a targe number k of co-operative associations and is said to be the largest of all sates organizations serving the general fruit and vegetable industry. The arrangement is effected in order to give the P’ederated Fruit Growers' members the, advantage of an experienced sales service
immediately.
Arthur it. Buie, vice-president and general manager of the North American Fruit Exchange, will become general manager ot the Federated Fruit Growers, Inc., beginning January 1, 1923. Mr. Rule has had a wide expe-
according to a co-operative plan. It will likewise mean a better quality of products and Improved service for the consumers. From member cooperative associations of the Federated Fruit Growers, Inc., and the larger permanent clientele of Urn North American Fruit Exchange Efficient tonnage is already assured to make the new co-operative sales service a pronounced and coptinued success from a business point of view.” Commenting on the uniting, of the North American Fruit Exchange and the Federated Fruit Growers, Inc., re*cently organized under the auspices of the American Farm Bureau federation, J.

Howard, president of the tatter, made the following brief statement: “I believe this to he one of the greatest accomplishments yet made in the development of co-operative marketing and in the elimination of waste between the producer and the consximer."
MILK AND CREAM ON MARKET
OF FERTILIZERS TO SOIL ACIDITY
It is a old belief that acid phosphate makes soils acid, but we now hav<# conclusive pi'ocf that this belief is not true. The use of fertilizers does not increase soil acidity, unless sxcesive amounts of amonium sulphate are used. Tills is likely to be of no consequence unless heavy applications of fertilizer are made for a period of years. Due largely to the leaching of limestone from the, soil and to a smaller extent to the removal of crops, lime is being constantly lost from our soils and they are slowly becoming acjd. Cultivation hastens the removar of lime from our soils. Therefore our soils have shown the effects of increasing acidity in recent years when Ave have been using fertilizers more liberally than forimerly. The use of fertilizers has not been responsible for this, and in fact liiberally fertjjized soils do not show the effects of soil acidity to tlie extent that unfertilized soils

AIM OF VEGETABLE GROWERS
Arthur R. Rule. rience in the marketing of perishables. In the conference which resulted in these arrangements, it developed quiteclearly that Mr. Rule and his associates had in mind the same ideals as the farm bureau committee. Since the plan of the Federated Fruit Growers meets with the ideals which Mr. Rule and his associates had in mind from the start, it was not difficult to effect an arrangement by which the two organizations will he merged. The principle of a growerowned and grower-controlled organization is adhered ^to in this program which is in full accord with the views of the farm bureau federation and the North American Fruit Exchange. “The arrangement,” says Mr. Rule, marks the beginning of a new day for the American fruit grower by enabling him to sell his product co-operatively at all markets. It places at his disposal an efficient sales service which we have been eleven years in building
Ohio Producers Co-operating With Farmers in Other States to increase Sales. Vegetable growlers of Ohio are cooperating with growers in other states to tell the story of their product to the consumer, according to C. W. Waid, marketing specialist of the Ohio Farm Bureau federation. The plan has already been adopted by the Cinncinnati Market Gardeners’ association and was received with enthusiasm by the Columbus organization at a recent meeting. The idea is built around an ‘‘Eat Vegetables for Vitaimnes” si 0 g an> Qne of the main points to he emphasized in the project is the large amount in mo^t vegetables of all of the Vitamines that scientists declare necessary for growth and health. Vegetable ^growers in some sections have already 'started work on the plan, and it is probable that other local organizations as well as the Vegetable Growers’ Association of America will got behind the plan. .
