prices quoted at the local markets I on June 6, 1934 and June 6, 1935. i 1 Top prices per iho pounds were ■ paid for hogs ranging In weight ' front 210 to 250 pounds. On June I •• 1934 the price quoted at the , local market for this weight was . i $3.20 per 100 pounds. On June 6, |' 1935 the same weight brought $9.50. This is an increase of $6 30 per, hundred pounds of live weight. i "July corn was quoted 55 1-4 cents per bushel at Chicago markets on June 6, 1»34. On June 6, 1935 corn was quoted at Chicago at SO 5-8 cents per bushel. The re- ' lationship between Decatur and ■ Chicago markets remained the same during the year. “The corn hog ration is the number of bushels of corn that will ex- , change for 100 pounds of hogs. This figure is computed by dividing the price per bushel of corn into the price per 100 pounds paid for hogs. "it is estimated that it is neees- ' sary to feed about eight bushels of corn to produce 100 pounds of live hog. "Because of the great difference iu kinds of feeding standards used by individual farmers it is difficult to determine the. average profit and loss." 0 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

GOOD PROSPECT"’ ’ OF FARM CROPS Crops In Adams County Are More Promising Than In Several Years Farm crops in Adams county arc looking more promising than they have in many years. Oats is perhaps the least promising at this time. A number of fields of this crop were planted early and are in excellent condition. The majority of the oats fields were planted late and have grown very little. Corn, which got off to a flying start last week and the week before, has begun to be affected by the cold, damp weather of tills week. Corn is a native of the tropics and does well only in warm dry weather. The following is a fair estimate of the crops in this locality; gardens are doing fine, pasture is good, forage crops are making rapid growth and stands are heavy, early potatoes look thrifty, rye is heading out and the stand is good, wheat fields show come unevenese but the stand is fairly good, and sugar beets are making a rapid growth. The cold, damp weather of the past week has been the best possible for the grass crops. Experienced farmers state it is I impossible to have good corn crops and good grass seasons the same year. >— o . LOW INTEREST RATE AVAILABLE — Farmers M a y Obtain Loans From Production Credit Croups Fanners who have sufficient security and who can use short-term credit profitably no longer need rely upon loan sources which charge relatively high interest rates, according to a new farm credit administration circular entitled "Production Loans" which describes the functions of Production Credit Associations. A copy of this publication may be obtained free from Fred Schurger, who represents Tile organization in Adams county. The circular describes briefly the purpose of production credit associations. It states that they make loans to finance the production. harvesting and marketing of crops; the breeding, raising, fattening and marketing of livestock and DECATUR ONE DAY ONLY Thursday, June 13 Monroe St. Circus Grounds Sponsored by American Legion LEWIS BROS.

commercial poultry: repair and improvement of farm buildings; refinancing of agricultural Indebtedness and other general farm purposes, including the purchase of seed, fertilizer, spray materials, machinery, supplies, work animals and other livestock and for hiring farm labor. The interest at the present is five per cent a year, payable when the loan is due. The associations are cooperative in character, and obtain their funds from the investing public through the Federal Intermediate Credit bauk of Louisville, Kentucky. The Muncie Production Credit association has been supplying credit of this nature for about 14 months, during that time having closed 1,140 loans for $372,780. It serves the farmers of the following counties: Adams, Blackford, Delaware, Grant, Hamilton, Madison. Randolph, Tipton, Jay and Wells. , o— SEEK TO SAVE CAME IN STATE Campaign Started to Save Birds, Other Wild Life In Indiana With the aid of conservation clubs of the state an extensive campaign is being started to reduce the number of game and song birds, rabbits and other kinds of wild life lost each year by farming operations and by permitting dogs of the hunting stock to run at large during breeding seasons. A three point program has been set up: 1. Urge farmers, landowners and county highway officials not to burn grass, fields, fence rows or roadsides, or at least to delay the burning until after July 12 when the young birds will be out of the nests and rabbits will be able to look: after themselves. It will not be necessary to mow or burn weeds before that time to kill weed seeds. This delay will save many thousand birds. 2. Offer to aid farmers and to interest boy scouts and 4-H clubs in aiding farmers to remove eggs of ground-nesting birds from fields before crops are harvested. More quail, pheasants and other birds are killed each spring by farm machinery than by the hunter. Just before a field is mowed a search should be made for nests, tile eggs collected and placed under a bantam or poultry hen for hatching. This is more or less of an experiment but every bird hatched and released is a bird saved. Even when nests are not destroyed by the mower or rake, they are left exposed and will be an easy prey for crows and other predators. 3. Urge all owners of dogs belonging to the hunting strain, to keep their dogs up until July 1. We have already had many reports of young rabbits and other wildlife being killed by hunting dogs which were allowed to run at large. There is no point to stocking an area, with rabbits and other game if dogs are permitted to kill off the young in the nest or before it is able to look out for itself. GIVE FIGURES ON PAYMENTS Adams County Farmers Have Received Near $300,000 In Payments Adams county farmers have been paid $298,072.92 in rental and benefit payments by the AAA since its organization two years ago. according to a report covering northeastern Indiana counties released by the AAA comptroller in Washington.

Indiana’s total of AAA benefits to May 1 was reported as $29,903,163.20. Os which $3,200,469.80 was for wheat! $160,004.49 for tobacco; $23,497,265.08 for corn-hogs, and $45,422.83 for sugar. This is the last report which will be issued on AAA rental and benefit payments cumulative from orI ganization of the AAA. it was said. Future rei>orts will deal solely with payments for the current fiscal year. 0 ~ Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

PURDUE EXPERT TALKS ON FRUIT Many Fruit Growers Attend Meeting Held In Adams County (Editor’s not: — This Is the 11th of a series of articles being written on the care of orchards by D. D. Maselln of route 1, Berne.) "We had a mighty interesting meeting in our orchard recently. Although farmers were very busy with field work there were quite a number of fruit growers here and ' I am sure every one felt that his time was well spent. "Monroe McCown from the Department of Horticulture led the crowd through the orchard and pointed out different things of greatest importance to fruit growers. "Scab. Mr. McCown said, is under good control and very little of , this disease could be found. There is no more danger for additional primary Infection of scab, but ev- ! en with a very light source for secondary infection he would recommend that lime sulphur be used in about two more sprays. "As usual Mr. McCown stressed the importance of doing a thorough ! job of spraying to get satisfactory control of codling moth. The ob- ’ ject from now on should be Io get the leaves and fruit heavily covered with arsenate of lead iu order to stop the young codling motive as fast as they emerge and thus get the best possible control of the first brood. By doing this we can almost wipe out the second brood before it gets started. ' "The amount of lime sulphur may now be reduced to 3 quarts per fifty gallons of water while ( the arsenate content should not be ‘ below 1 1-2 lbs., but raTher increased to 2 lbs." i o Farm Club Notes Decatur 4-H Tile organization meeting of the Decatur 4-H Club was held at the home ot Alice Jane Archbold recently.

HOMER ARNOLD PUT IN CHARGE OF COMPLIANCE Final Instructions Given Local Men At Meeting Thursday Homer Arnold will be In charge of all corn-bog compliance in Adams county, the committee here has determined. Thursday, L. E. Archbold, coun-! tytgent, Mr. Arnold and Hulda Steury attended a compliancej meeting in Columbia City where! final instructions were given county committees and secretaries. Because of the fact that the work jof checking compliance with corn- , hog contracts is to begin shortly l in Adams county. County Agent Archbold has asked that all cornhog producers who make application for the 1935 corn-hog production control contract permit the compliance o f f i c e rs to measure their farms, whether or not the final contract form has been signed. By checking the compliance now," Archbold said, “this work can proceed mm-h more rapidly i than if it were put off until all the contracts are signed and a saving i can be made which will reduce the I total expenses of the county conI trol association. “All such savings that can be made,” he pointed out, "will add to the adjustment payment checks, which will start coming in as soon

as possible after th* contracts are alined and the compliance checking is completed." In Adams county, about nine hundred producer* made application for the 1935 corn-hog contracts, according to the records of the local control association. With applications for 1935 Agricultural Adjustment corn-hog contracts approved for final signature from more than half the Indiana counties, plans are being laid to start the work of checking compliance on corn acreage planted by June 15. according to L. E. Hoffman, who is in charge of the educational phases of the Agricultural Adjustment Admlnistratioe's crop production control activities for Indiana. “While many farmers who made ' application for the 1935 corn-hog contract will not have signed the i final contract by the time the comi pliance work starts, they should 1 permit, their corn acreage to be i measured,” Hoffman said. "Because It Is much easier to i measure corn fields before the I corn is tall, compliance work will move much more rapidly than It would if it were delayed. This means," he pointed out, "that the cost of checking compliance, which is borne by the local county control associations, will be reduced. | "Permitting acreage to be checked will in no way obligate an applicant for a corn-hog contract to sign the final contract if he should change his mind, and will greatly speed up the delivery of the first adjustment payment checks,” Hoffman added. According to information front AAA headquarters, producers who have unintentionally planted a small excess acreage to corn this year will be permitted to dispose of this acreage at the time compliance is checked. The early checking of compliance, as planned this year, will permit such producers ! to plant other crops where an ex- ! cess of corn must be removed hi ! order to comply with the contract.
