RADIO ON THE FARM Farmer* Taking Up Radio For Practical and Social Purposes The speed with which farmers have taken up radio for practical and social proposes is shown In a recent survey made by the United State Department of Agriculture. County agricultural agents estimate that there are approx inately 40,000 radio sets on farms in 780 eounties. This is an average of 51 sets per county. Applying the average to 2,850 agricultural counties a total of more than 145.000 sets on farms throughout the country is estimated.’ The county agents' estimates cover every Stale. In New York it is estimated that in 37 agricultural counties there are 5,502 sets on farms. The county agent for Saratoga County, N. Y., reported 2,0x5 sets. Forty-three counties in Illinois show 2,814 sets; 26 eounties in .Missouri, 2,861 ;ets; 42 counties in Ohio, 2,620 sets; 40 counties in lowa, 2.463 sets, and 26 counties in Kansas, 2,054. New Jersey, Pennsylvania ..Michigan and Minnesota have between 1.000 and 2,000 sets each. Federal weather forecasts, crop reports, and market quotations are now broadcast from 150 radio stations throughout the country. Special agricultural news in the form of so-called "Agriograms" and talks on various phases of work of the Department of Agriculture is also sent out regularly from 250 broadcasting stations. o AGRICULTURE Government Reports Shows General Improvement In Country Continued improvement in agriculture outside the wheat belt is recorded by the United States Department of Agriculture in its monthly argiculture review issued today. A siginficant development is the strengthened demand for cotton and pork, the review says. Consumption of cotten in Aremican mills and export movement have both increased, a 1 " though the South has had to scale down its expectations on the size of the new crop. The domestic and expor demand for pork has adsorbed a record run of hogs at better prices than were prophesied by the most optimistic earlies in the season. , In the wheat belt, the situation is different, the department says. More than a hundred thousand homes in the wheat country are in distres . Debts which have been accumlating for ftve years are now coming due and farmers are unable to meet their obligations. This has been one of the main factors that have brought to a head the acute situation in the farming .hanking, and business community. A serious phase of the situation is that exports of wheat have fallen oft 36,000.000 bushels during the first eight months of 1923 as compared with the same period in 1922, the review points out. Exports during the 1923 period were 105.664.000 bushels as compared with 141.380,000 bushels in 1922. The general index of purchasing power of farm products in terms of prices was unchanged while the index of industrial prices dropped slightly. The agricultural index, now 73. is at the highest point it has been since June 1922. o— HUNTS BURIED GOLD. Old Indian Says He Buried Four Sacks In Bad Lands Os S. Dakota Norfolk, Neb., Oct. 3.—Jim Bird, member of the Omaha Indiana tribe in Thurston County, Neb., honorably discharged front the American army ( as scout during the battles with the Sioux Indians, wants another chance ( to find four sacks of nuggets which he declares he and two Santee scouts . buried under a tree in the bad laud ; | of South Dakota, forty years ago. ( A number of business men here in- t terested in the old Indian's story are ( planning to fit up an expidition to lo- ( cate the gold. The old scout who is , past eighty, declares he is not after ; the gold from a selfish point of view, j He has plenty of money, government ( allotments to his family bringing into , wealth estimated at 8100.000. He says , he wants a chance to scout around and find the tree and the gold in order to ( prove his story. , Federal agents from Omaha In- , dian agency believe Scout Bird’s story . and will join the expedition to hunt for the gold nuggets. The story told by Scout Bird is that with two Santee Indian scouts, he be- ■ came separated from the soldiers who ' were fighting the Souix. The three scouts were trailed by hostile Indians and wandered off into the bad lands where they were in hiding for several days. In the wandering through the canyons,they came upon four Mexican prospectors who, believing they were attacked, fired upon the scouts, who in turn, fired upon the prospectors, kil ling them. The scouts found four; sacks of gold in the camp of the Mexi-' cans—most of the gold being nugget

form. They dug a tunnel under a tree and ■ burled the treasure. They feared discredit upon themselves if they told of the killing of thi* Mexicans and kept the incident a secret. The two Santee scouts died and, recently Scout Bird told his story lo an Indian police officer on the Omaha reservation. Scout Bini has drawn a map from memory of the place where the gold is buried. | Court House | REAL ESTATES TRANSFERS William Stucky to Arthur A Kelly, lot 550 in Decatur for $2,100.

To School For Feeble-Minded. The clerk of the circuit court has received notice of the acceptance of ; the application for admission of Tina Hockenberg to the Indiana School for ( Feeble-Minded Youths. The petition for having her transferred to the I school was filed on September 13.1 1919. nearly four years ago. The ' court instructed the clerk to see that she was provided with proper clothing for admission to the school and instructed the conveyance of the girl ■ to the school to Mrs. Anna Heller. , Poultry Dealers' Licenses. Poultry dealers' licenses were issued yesterday and today to W. F. Jaebker and Son of Preble; L. D. Brown, of Pleasant Mills, and Jesse Spitler of Willshire, Ohio. o Fake Fertilizers Are Discussed By Farm Paper The following item concerning the sale of a certain fertilizer in Adams county, was published in the Indiana Farmer's ulde this week: “Buying fertilizer continues one of those mysteries which farmers — many of them —have failed to fathom In spite of the protection that the state has thrown about the agricultural industry, men continue to bite on unknown qualities of sacked fertility. They even pay extra for things that have a mysterious power to “remove the impurities from the soil" or to "destroy the insects in the soil.” One of the means of getting these impurity killers and insect destroyers on the market is to put out a cractywjack salesman and let him find and convince a reputable dealer, who does not know much about fertilizers. The dealer, who may be entirely in good faith, and who probably has a reputation for fairness w'th the public, is taken into the country by the crackerjack \ salesman. Then the salesman does the talking to the farmer and tells him that the dealer with him Is to handle the fertilizer. Then he talks about impurities and insects in the soil, and pretty soon he has sold fertilizer to the farmer. The farmer buys because of the dealer, in whom he has had confidence, not realizing that the dealer who will fall for such a game is not himself acquainted with the chemical value of fertilizers. Farmers who agreed to buy a fertilizer supposed to “remove the impurities from the soil” called at a car at Decatur, Indiana, recently and said they had come for "some of that best fertilizer.” They said they had bought "the best.” The fertilizer they bought was supposed to be death to insects and impurities. What the impurities were they did not know. One of them said he had been told the fertilizer would not kill chinch bugs, but that it "would kill insects,” Os course, the safest way for the farmer who has not stutlied chemistry to buy fertilizer is to consult with the county agent, Purdue University or some other source of reliable information. It is probable some recommendation like 2-12-2, 2-12-6. 0-12-6 or 2 16-2 will be made. .Then the farmer may buy fertilizer ‘ meeting that figure. This method of buying is much safer than to consult some fly-by-night who comes into the county and charges prices higher than those ordinarily paid for fertilizers of the same grade. In all cases, it must be remembered that fertilizers are fertilizers, not bug killers, or impurity removers; and that fertilizers are made to aid i the farmer in producing more crops and not to assist him in swatting flies or milking the cows.

MARKETS-STOCKS Daily Report of Local and Foreign Market! CHICAGO GRAIN Chicago, Oct. 4 —Grain prices open I <*<l unchanged to fractionally lower on the Chicago boar dos trade today. Profit-taking weakened whaet val-' | ties at the outset as did the failure | cf IJverpool to respond to yesler-1 day's upturn. Another depressing factor was the general belief that I much of the recent advance was din to chort covering which left the market te< hnically weaker.
