FOR ONE DISTRICT Decatur Rotarians Go on Record as Being Opposed to Redistricting t • OF INDIANA CLUBS Argument Heard Pro and Con—Wr. Wann Gives Interesting Talk. The Decatur Rotarians went on record lust evening as being opposed to the re-districting ivt the Indiana Rotary clubs, us planned by International Rotary and sponsored by a number of Indiana clubs. Fred Patterson, the president of the club presented the matter to the club and asked that action be taken at once. The matter was discussed from both sides and President Patterson read letters from well known Rotarians in the state who were for and against the proposition. A vote was taken with the result that the club unamiously voted against the splitting up of the clubs into districts in this state, the opinion being that better results would M obtained through Rotary by remaining us one unit as far as the state organization was concerned. Other near-by clubs are taking the same action, it has been learned. John L. Wann of Purdue UniversitJ gave an interesting talk on the value of drinking milk and eating milk products. Mr. Wann is one of the prin-1 cipul speakers in the milk campaign being made in this county this week and next and his talk was very instructive and enjoyable. Other guests besides Mr. Wann were Rev. Elliker of the Reformed church and Mr. Sanborn, who is a guest of Walt Johnson.

THE CROP REPORT Cereal Grains in Hands of Fanners Much Lens Than a Year Ago. LOW PRICE IS CAUSE Growing Crop of Wheat is Not as Good as it Should be at This Season. Indianapolis. Ind.. March 17. —The amount of cereal grains in farmers’ hands March 1. tills year, is considerably less than last year, according to the monthly report of the co operative crop reporting service for Indiana, issued today. Value of farm lands also show a heavy decrease, the amount for improved lands being $22.00 per acre and for unimproved lands $20.00 per acre. This is a decrease from last year of approximately $350,000,000 on the total acreage of farm lands. The report follows Reserves of corn on Indiana farms March 1, were 45 per cent of the 1921 crop and amount to 76,432,000 bushels and is second only to last year’s reserves. This is due largely to the low prices offered since the crop was harvested. In 1921 the reserves amount to 99,846.000. bushels and was the largest carry over ever recorded in the state, while in 1920 the carryover amounted to 68,641,000 bushels. The quantity that has been or is to lie shipped out of the country where grown is reported at 22 per cent of last year’s production and is about the average. Although considerably more trading than usual took place among farmers. The quality of the crop is somewhat below average, only merchantable. Ear worm and mold were the greatest factors contributing to the damage, but chinch.bugs and other insects were exceptionally prevalent in some sections of the state. Wheat reserves on Indiana farms March 1, were 17 per cent of last year’s crop and amounts to 4.113.000 bushels, which is somewhat less than i the average carry over, although the I per centage is somewhat larger than usual. Last year's crop was an unusually small one the quality only fair. The 1921 reserves amounted to 5,741,000 bushels and the 1920 reserves amounted to 5,845.000 bushels. The quantity that has been or will be ship-

The growing crop of wheat in Indiana is not looking as good as it should at this time of the year. Much damage has been done by freezing and thawing weather and insects are prevalent in many localities. Present indications point to a very low condition figure for the entire country with ansas and the southwest states in very poor condition. The reserves of oats on Indiana farms on March 1, were 39 per cent of last year's production and amount to 17.578,000 bushels, which is about the average. Last year the carry over was 33,825.000 bushels and one of the largest ever reported. In 1921 the carry over was 16,240,000 bushels. Last year's production was one of the smallest ever reported in the state with the quality also very poor. The amount shipped or to be shipped out of the county were grown, is 3 per cent of the crop. Considerably more oats were fed on farms than usual because of the poor quality and low price. The reserves of barley on Indiana farms March 1, were 23 per cent of last year's production and amounts to 284,000 bushels, compared with 634,000 bushels for 1921 and 330,00 d bush* 1 els for 1920. The crop produced last year was unusually small and of onlyfair quality. The amount shipped or to be shipped out of the county where grown is 14 per cent of the total production, which is about average. A great portion of the barley produced in Indiana is used on the farm where grown and is confined principally to a few counties in the northwestern part of the state. Land values in Indiana compared with last year show a decline of approximately $522.00 per acre for improved land and $20.00 per acre for land without improvements.

WHY USE TUBERCULIN TESTED MILK?; By Dr. Corwin R. Price, Geneva. Indiana. Since cow’s milk contains ail the, essential elements of an ideal food, being procurable in every home and| is consumed in some form by every one, it is absolutely necessary that! it be free from tubercle bacilli if we | ever eliminate tuberculosis from the; human family. Progress in the elimination of tuberculosis was delayed j many years because of the belief ofi the early investigators that bovine ’ tuberculosis and human tuberculosis j were not the same. At the present I time they are considered the same and; are transmissible from one to the other. Milk from a tubercular cow is I very apt to contain tubercle bacilli’ and be unlit tor food. In fact is re I garded as a frequent source of tuberculosis during childhood. Pure milk like pure water is only 1 ,i relative condition —meaning, milk and water free from injurious bac-I ceria. It is impractical to use either ibsolutely free from bacteria, nor is it essential, but is both practical and essential to use milk from tuberculin I tested cows, for you thereby eliminate one source of human tuberculosis.
