FARMERS IN EARNEST, Washington, Jan. 24.—(Special to Daily Democrat). —A volcano is rumb ling under the placio surface of President Harding's agricultural conference. It threatens to erupt with devastating effect if the conference falls to produce a constructive program of agricultural relief. -—e —— , GET BIDS ON CEMENT. Indianapolis, Jan. 24.—(Special.to Dally Democrat).—Bids on sufficient cement to construct all of the sixty-six miles of the national road which remains unpaved, entirely of concrete were received by the state highway commission today. The specifications provide that the concrete shall be delivered at various points along the national roads. The bids called for a maximum of 200,000 barrels. It is expected that while bids were received for sufficient cement, to build the entire road of concrete this does not mean that the commission necessarily expects to do this. There is said to be some probability that the Indiana commission may follow the leads of commission in Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Michigan. Minne--1 sota, Missouri and South Dakota in refusing to accept any of the bids tin- ' til prices are reduced. This may depend on the amount set out in the bids submitted. • • STORE FOR SALE As 1 have moved to the farm, we will sell our second hand store.

The suit was filed by Charles Diehl by his next' friend, Adam Diehl vs. Walter L. Ross, receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis & Western R. R Co. Attorneys Smith ' & Parrish of Fort Wayne, formerly of Decatur, filed the suit. The railroad company is one running east and west through Decatur, from Toledo, Ohio to St. Louis. Mo. It is charged in the complaint that on 1 ’■Tht 22, 1921, that the defendant was i operating in an easterly direction 1 through Decatur a packed meat train, ‘ which was enroute from St. Louis to j Toledo and that the train was being : operated at the high and dangerous i rate of speed of fifty miles an hour.' ; when the city ordinance at Decatur j provides that such speed shall not. exceed twelve miles an hour through the i city. Further the complaint says that j young Diehl was enroute along the 1 railroad company’s right of way. used ’ by the public for traffic for thirty j years, and was a safe distance from . j the tracks,, when the fast meat train ■ came along, the suction from which stirred up a cloud of dust along the tracks, completely blinding the plaintiff and causing him to become con fused as to the direction in which lie was going ami also causing him to ■ be sucked under the train. One of i tlie cars struck him on the forehead the complaint says, knocking him down and greatly lacerating and cutting his head. That he was rendered unconscious and remained so for two weeks, being confined in a hospital and that pus was discharged from the wound to the head for some time, affecting the mind and brain of tho plaintiff seriously. — Portland Sun. SULPHURCLEAHS rough. red snn Face, Neck and Arms Easily Made Smooth. Says Specialist Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little MenthoSulphur, declares a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, this sulphur preparation begins at once to soothe irritated skin and heal eruptions such as rasa, pun- ■ pies and ring worm. It seldom fails to remove the tor-; ipent and disfigurement, and you do not have to wait for relief from embarrassment. Improvement quickly shows.

FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. KINDS OF SOILS AND FERTILIZERS NEEDED FOR POTATOES IN INDIANA Potatoes do best on a loose loam which has been deeply plowed and well prepared. Plenty of organic matter seems to be of great benefit in keeping heavy types of soil in shape to retain moisture and fertility and to hold it in a loose condition for the development of the tubers, according to S. D. Conner, chemist of the experiment station staff at Purdue university. Owing to the fact that potatoes are capable of producing yields which are enormous when all conditions are right, it pays to fertilize them heavily. The best fertilizer analysis for Indiana loam soils is a complete formula of about two percent, nitrogen, 12 percent, phosphoric acid and 6 percent. potash. On loose deep, well prepared soil, 500 pounds of such a fertilizer per acre will pay. At one dollar per bushel it would not take more than five bushels of potatoes extra to pay for such a treatment. In a four year test in Fayette county such fertilization produced an average increase of 23 bushels per acre under ordinary farm conditions. With more careful preparation such as a regular potato gfower would give the increase would be much larger. When potatoes are grown on a muck soil potash is the most Important fertilizer ingredient. In an average of 5 experiments on muck 1,000 pounds of 8 percent, phosphoric acid and 10 percent, potasli produced an increase of 96 bushels per acre. Two hundred pounds muriate of potash anti an equal amount of acid phosphate per acre is recommended for potatoes on muck. When properly fertilized, potatoes grewn on muck are of good quality.

INDIANA SEED LAW IS MADE CLEAR Considerable confusion regarding the new state seed law which went into effect January Ist has arisen I 1 throughout Indiana, and the seed laboratory at Purdue university has | 1 been “covered up” with hundreds of I samples received for testing, really • doing much of the work which should 1 be undertaken by the seed merchants. » E. G. Proulx, state seed commissionJ er, had issued a statement calling at- ■ tention of the farmers and seedsmen > to the provisions of the law. It requires that when seed is sold ' for planting, in lots- of one pound or more, the merchant or seller must a have a tag or label for it, similar to 1 those attached to fertilizers and feeds, s giving germination, percent, of noxi- ’• ous weed seed, etc. Tho seed iner- -- chant and not the seed commissioner a it; responsible for the correctness of 2 the statement on the tag, as many of the big and small seed houses have I apparently thought by sending in all II samples for testing. e “Unfortunately, not over one pere cent, of Indiana seed merchants test :■ their seed. All seedsmen worthy of the name should lie able to test the y | majority of their seed,” said Mr. e j Proulx. “The Purdue seed laboratory r as an accommodation is testing ail e ; these samples sent in by growers and r seed merchants, but not in excess of 0 1 three samples for any one month for ‘ any seedsmen, so samples are reI, . ceived that it is physically Impossible •. ' to test and report al! these analyses 5 promptly. Seed merchants, wishing f to comply with the law, must test tjieir 0 own seed wherever possible. The In--0 diana law does not prohibit the sale I: of poor seed. It only requires that j the tag on this seed state what it is. In telligent buying soon will elimin ate poor seed.” ; Farmers who sell their seed direct . to other farmers making the sale on
