Mullein Leaves Are Winter Overcoats For Destructive Insects Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 10—Common wooley mullen, source of old-fashion-ed mullen tea and considered harmless by many farmers, han been found to afford important winter hibernating quarters for the clovefr leaf weevil, grape leaf hopper, tarnished plant bug and other troublemaking insect* that are destructive in all parts of Indiana, says A. A. Hansen, of tire Purdue Extension Staff. The fuzzy wool on the leaves of the winter mullen rosettes form ideal protection against chilly winter blasts and insects have not been slow to take advantage of this natural winter overcoat). Thq remedy is to go over pastures and waste places during December and chop out the mullen rosettes with a hoe or spud. This will also drive out mullen since by destroying the whiter leaf clusters the production of mullen seeds the following season is prevented. The work should be done before the ground is covered with snow. o Indiana Waiting For Illinois To Act In River Bridge Matter Indianapolis, Dee. 10. — (United Press I —The state of Indiana is standing by and marking time in regards i to the construction of a new bridge over the Wabash river at Vincennes. John Williams, director of the state highway commission, in speaking of the bridge project, declared that the < state of Indiana is preparing to spend : $4,500 in order to keep the bridge in repair until such a time as a new structure can be erected. j Plans for the new bridge have been j considered by the highway cominis-1] sions of both Indiana and Illinois, the < states which the bridge will serve but J little or no action has been taken on J those plans by Illinois, insofar as In- I diana officials have been advised, Wil- j liams said. j "We are simply marking time until | Illinois is ready to act in the matter." < Williams said. “There is nothing we,’ can do until we know how far Illinois < is willing to go in the matter.” Williams said the Indiana highway | commission is very desirous of having

a new structure erected ag the present bridge is far from adequate for the I present traffic demands. In order to keep it safe it has been necessary for the highway commission to spend thousands of dollars that could otherwise have bean used tor the construction of new roads. When Governor Lenn Small, of Illinois. visited Indianapolis recently to attend the international dairy exposition. he conferred with Governor Ed Jackson, of Indiana, and it is understood the bridge situation was discussed. Jitst the two state executives agreed upon haa never been announced, Jackson preferring to keep silent on the matter. Williams recently conferred with the governor concerning tho situation but following the meeting told newspapermen “there i 8 nothing to give out at this time.” He then repeated his former statement that 4 the entire situation was up to Illinois. “As soon as we hear from the governor of Illinois or the Illinois highway commission wc will be ready to act,” he said. It is understood that Williams conferred with a member of the Illinois commission in Detroit recently, but just what transpired at that meeting Williams refused to state. o Dancing, Masonic Hall, Sat.

Predict Higher Price For Cattle In Near Future Indianapolis, Doc. 10. — (United Press)—A price Jump in good cattle during the next few months was predicted today by officers at the Indianapolis livestock exchange. At present the cattle prices are ruling higher than usual for this season but the boost is expected in view of the fact that the supply is small, and the demand is increasing. Another factor which will help to send prices up. it was said is the fact' that the low price of corn Is allowing farmers to feed this grain. It was pointed out that hay and I grain fed stock, as a general rule, are of better quality than grass fed grades. I Packers declare the animals dress bet-I ter and they can afford to pay higher prices. A shortage of sheep and lambs and a price boost also was seen in the sheep and lamb division of the exchange by Fred Higbee, of a livestock firm here. How high the prices will go cannot be determined bat the opinion is that choice ovines will be expensive while medium grades will remain steady and plentiful. At the present farmers are pay- ■ ing from sls to $16.50 a hundredweight i for feeding their lambs. Their only , chance for a profit is in bringing the J lambs back to market and gaining a < premiumfor the extra weight at the | same price, if a profit is shown at j all it will be without thought of labor 5

I cost, it was said. Robert E. Drake, of Johnson, Tibbs and Drake, local livestock dealers, has predicted a shortage of calved about the first of the year | “Whether the shortage will catiSe a price incregle is problematical," (?. B. .Gardner. Mother dealer said. I The calf market, it was pointed but i is conducted here from day today without any apparent genertt! prito trend. I Urgent demands will boost the prices but they soon return to the previous level. On the other hand, an Over supply will cause a slump in values and a 'shortage the following day wilt cause a Jump. Most opinions on the fifcure trend of the market are based almost entire- | ly on the previous performances of the I market and the dealers refuse to commit themselves. Commission dealers here declare there will be no potato shortage because of large amounts of stock in storage here. A further increase in prices, however, is predicted. o . — Cement, $2.75 per bbl.
