Busche, county agent, reported that only two fields were found which averaged over 100 bushels per acre, thereby entitling the farmers to gold medals, which are awarded by the Indiana Corn Growers Association. During the week twenty-three of the thirty-two farmers who entered the contest last ipring had their yields estimated and a number were near the 100-bushel mark. C. W. 11. Schwartz, of Monrod township, had the highest yield, it being estimated at 107 bushels per acre. The field contained corn in 1926 and rop. An oats crop followed in 1921 icid phosphate was used on that vith clover resulting last year, two rops being removed. There are 16 acres in the entire I eld. In 1920, 150 tons of manure vere applied to field and in 1921, '5 tons more. No manure or ferti-. izrr was applied during this year or ast year. The field is drained every 14 feet, the main drain outlet being hrough the center of the field. The eed was standard-bred heed’s Yellow Jent and was carefully tested before ieing planted. The rows were drill--16 inches apart. Union Township Man Wins. Clyde Harden, of Union township, was the other gold medal winner, laving a yield of 101 bushels per icre.

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt

South Side sure took a good beating ( at the hands of Technical high in In- ( dianapolis, yesterday. The South . Side boys held Tech pretty good in the first half, the score being 9-0, btr I they were snowed under in the second ( period and the final score was 47-0. Coach “Buck” Howard led his fighting Yellow Jackets to Logansport this afternoon. The dope shows the two teams pretty evenly matched. The Yellow Jackets will be greatly handicapped, however, through the , logs of Jack Teeple, halfback, who I was declared ineligibile Thursday. Bluffton goes to Wabash for a game today. Bluffton has been working hard the last two weeks, but the dope j is overwhelmingly against them. A good friends of ours on the Pern Daily Tribune writes to us as follows: “The Tigers are getting ready to give j Stephen Decatur an awful defeat and you will oblige by sending a clean shirt and grave markers." But don’t get frightened gang. We know this fellow and he is a good naturod little ' red-headed shrimp, who takes great delight in throwing out a line like ; that. Beware, Red. because a bunch of Yellow Jackets can sure put a flock of Tigers to rout. Ossian high lost a hard-fought basketball game to Union Center at Ossian last nigtit, 15-11.
