Talks By Speakers I Hubert Schmitt, of this city donor .of the silver loving cup to the farm■er having th» ««lniiing ton litter Im--1 side* paying this farmer one cent extra per pound fur the pigs, wnx tb” i'lrat speaker cslled on. Mr. Schmitt told how better hog* meant more money tn th” farmer ati'l encouraged the raising of pltf* in competition in »br- Ton Utter eontuat. Mr. Ibt'Ch” gate a short hldm'y of the |lvf*Afre Corn and Ton Litter contests in Adam* fisyiiy nnd brought <mt the fact that the farmers of Adam-t '('minty were among th” leaders in the State. w. T.

"I't’l" made » tlever talk pii'l started the ball ruling tn fine shape.

Fred Blum, former Illinois farmer, now one of the progressive and loading farmers in this county, told how he raised 115 bushels of corn to the acre in 1921 and won fourth place i ntlie state in having the highest average. He said the farmer ot Illinois first doubted this record, but that it was proven afterwards that the Hoosiers could do It. He said he hoped to raise 125 bushels to the acre as soon as the pig raisers in the county told how he marketed 117 bogs from thirteen litters, an average of nine to the litter and told of the care given the hogs. Mr. Hoile held the record in 1923 in raising the largest number of pigs from a certain number of litters. C. W. R. Schwartz, of Monroe township, who proved his ability and efficiency as a corn and hog raiser by winning a gold medal in 1923 for raising 107 bushels of corn to the acre and also winni’ifß a gold medal for marketing a litter of hogs weighing 3,040 pounds, told how he did it and urged the farmers to take care of the soil nnd to feed their [figs the required rations. Mr. Coleman, gave an. excellent talk on " Balanced Production", and told how the extension department of of Purdue was trying to work with and co-operate with the farmer, the until- ! mate result being larger and more I profitable production. Mr. Cole man emphatically opposed the cut ting down of production as a means of raising the market price for the former’s prodtul. saying that this method was destructive and that in long run the farmer would suffer "You can’t get paid for something you don’t sell or have." is the way Mr. Colenian put It. Mr. Coleman congratulated the men present and stated that “ meeting like these are just the thing,’’ Music By Father And Son Mr. Hoile was called on again and [stated that, although he kept busy on the farm early and late, he found time to be with his family and to be a companion and father to his chil,dren. He proved it when he and his son. Truman Hoile, gave several music selections. Mr. Hoile singing and Truman playing the piano, frti- ( man can play the keys in artist jgshI ion and the songs and music were ■ greatly appreciated. The meeting was one of the finest and most thoroughly enjoyed of any M PAIN OUT OF F RHEUMATIC JOINTS I’ain and congestion is gone. Jouickly?— Yes.

. ever held in the country. The attendance of 80 people was beyond the expectation of those in charge and sides many prominent and progress ive farmers, many business men. bankers and others attended. It was a regular love-feast and get-together meeting and as, Mr. Colmen Stated, it is the kind of meeting that should be held often, because the farmer has to have a litile fun and merriment mixed in with his work or life would 1 grow weary. It means much to the home life of the farmer, in fact everyone to have these congenial and social good times and each meeting is bound to produce good results. The Five Acre Corn committee was composed of W. T. Rupert, Fred Blum ■ and Clyde Harden. The Ton Litter conjmitte is composed of Otto Hoile. C. W. R. Schwartz and Carl E. Amstutz. Mr. Busche stated that enteries in the Ton Litter contest would dose February 15th and already 14 farmers have entered.
