Thi county tux in Allen county has been increased five cent- on the hundred. More normalcy. It is not necessary to register to vote in the city election, in cities other thjp the first and second classes. Though a request was sent to the state highway commission weeks ago asking them to guard the approaches to the north bridge no sign of any action is apparent. It’s a dangerous place and the delay but shows the red tape and the go to bllzes attitude of the state commission. * Voters in Decatur do not have to register for the city election. In cities of the first and second classes, this -is necessary but as Decatur is in the fourth class of cities, this is not required. You can vote in the city election if qualified, that is if you have lived here and in the state the required time. Secretary Mellon has been induced to continue in the cabinet for one

more trial at fixing the income tax law and he is now busy on another bill which he will offer in place of the one fixed by the house. A lot of other fellows also have their pet measures and Senator Smoot probably has more influence with the senate than has Mellon. Stripped to the waist, their abilities and capacities for work announced by an auctioneer, fifty men stood on the streets of Boston yesterday and offered their services to the high bidder, just like the old slave days. “Shorn lambs of unemployment’’ they were called by the Rev. Ledoux who conducted the campaign. That’s worse than the old soup kitchens but you will not hear so much about it. The cards are stacked to make Jim Watson of Indiana leader of tin 1 senate to take the place of Lodge who has lost his “pep.” Jim represents the crowd in control of government affairs and is able to lead them. He may be a little rough about it and eventually will overdo it but he will stand for concentration of power in the hands of a few, for the highest tariff, for big business and every one will know it. He is not as smooth as Lodge but is younger and more forceful and knows how to crack the whip.

[’ The republican and democratic leaders are now playing politics openly mid admit it. Even President • Harding says in a letter to Senator p McCormick, many partisan words ■ which would have brought a storm of , abuse to Mr. W ll.son had he written such a letter. Congress will now forget every thing else and play polli tics for u year. So far they have ' done but little to help conditions , other than take cure of job hunters. Complete returns from the special election of Tuesday shows that the first amendment, providing that all foreign born residents be fully naturalized before they cun vote, curried I by a majority of about 50,000. The !

total vote in tiie state was 210,000 or about fifteen per cent. 'Die amendment to give the governor power to veto a part of the appropriation bill received the second highest vote but lost by nearly 20,000 as did the registration amendment. The tax and in- , come sections were beaten übout three to one and the provision for 1 making the state superintendent’s office appointive lost bv 100.000. We maintain it was a dangerous election ] and the wrong manner of doing so • important a, job as changing the 1 constitution. J There seems to be more trouble ( ■with the mails now than at any per- ] a>d in years and we can’t understand 1 it. for Will Hays promised just the ’ opposite. Just now it is almost impossible to send out a daily paper and get it any where in time for de- i livery. Billy may not care for the l information but if he does we could I tell him several places where the , service could be vastly improved. ; For instance, to get a paper to Will- i shire now, it is necessary to mail it the evening before on the west bound train. The package is carried to

ncuu. x Jiv is idurcu iv Frankfort, always misses the morn-11 ing east bound train and they get . the paper at Willshire, nine miles from here twenty-four hours late which makes it thirty-six hours late on rural routes, even though we have to pass up a train which goes direct. We have several other cases just as silly. It doesn’t fit the inauguration I statements of the new postmaster general.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,1921.

FOR THE FARMERS (Continued from page two) day for 2(1 days. They cost 100 pounds of gain with corn at 50 cents a bushel wus only $2.61. It was hogs of this kind—thrifty, growthy fellows in medium flesh weighing one hundred pounds or more at the start — that made the most rapid economical gains. "A hunch of 62 shoats that averaged only 53 pounds when turned into corn and soybeans, ate 10’/a buslyds of corn for each 100 pounds gain. These shouts were too small to gain economically hogging off corn and soybeans.” The common practice on these farms was to accustom the hogs grad- : ually to a ration of new' corn ami soy- | Ireans. This was generally done by | starting’with ;.n ear or two per shout daily, gradually increasing until they were getting a lull ration in a week or ten days. Little if any digestive trouble occurred when this method was followed. On some of the farms a few soybean plants were pulled ami thrown to the hogs each day for four or five days before they were turned into the field. They seemed to eat' tiie soybeans more readily when this was done. Hogs were turned into the corn and soybeans from September 1 to October r 25. The most economical gains were secured when they were turned in as soon as the corn had dented — . about the time it is in best Shape to cut for the silo. This was probably because hogs eat soybeans more read- , ily when they were not too ripe and ( hard. The greatest feeding value is secured from soybeans just after the pods begin to turn yellow and while the most of the foliage is still green. On the average a shout weighing 100 to 115 pounds will consume five to seven bushels of corn during a hogging off period of six to eight weeks. A good method to insure against loss from rainy weather is to fence off an arec of corn that allows three to four bushels per hog. then to turn into a second area later if weather conditions continue favorable.

farmers are warned *to observe "Fly free” date in sowing wheat this fall, in a letter which is being mailed to several thousand of them by Director (1. I. Christie of the agricultural experiment station, Purdue university, utter conference with the chiefs of entomology and soil and crops. Director Christie urges ail Communities in tiie state to copoerate in late sowing, lie also pothts out the necessity of using good seed of a known variety and of using fertilizer. The letter follows: "The Hessian fly is the most destructive insect pest of wheat in Indiana. It will probably be injurious to wheat tills year as it was last. Do not sow before the fly free (late for your section. Watch the posters for the exact date, see your county agent or write to the i’urdue experiment taticn. The dates range from Sep timber 20 in northern Indiana to October 10 in southern. Your community should cooperate in late sowing. Sowing late on your farm will not help much if your neighbors sow early. "In sections where chinch bugs were injurious this year all fence rows should be burned, but not till jNo weeds or trash should be left on top of the ground that can be plowed under, it is in these places that chinch bugs live over winter. Take every precaution to control this pest. "The use of a complete fertilizer for wheat is recommended and about 200 pounds per acre of something like a 2-12-4 formula may be used to good advantage. Acid phosphate it being used with profit on many soils and is recommended. In this way, a Doition of the elements of plant food required’ and used in largest quantities will be available and will insure as far as possible, a full development of the crop.

WESTERN FARMS OPENED TO WORLD WAR VETERANS ( * — Washington, Sept. 9.—Two hundred and twenty-two farms today were op--1 ened to homestead entry by veterans of the world war in the North Platte region of Wyoming by the reclammation service of the department of interior. On September 16, another opening will be made of 57 farms in the Shoshone district of the same state. These farms are praticularly adapted to dairying, which, according to the department's statistics, is rapidly coming to the front as one of the country's foremost industries. A decade ago this land was a part of a vast range occupied by nomadic cattle. Through irrigation it has recently been transformed into one of
