The county, which is becoming noted for Belgian draft horses, will be host on that day to buyers and prospective buyers from all over the United States. Although few colts are ever ac- , tnally sold at the show it provides leads for buyers who return during the winter to look for the best animaJs shown in the judging rings. There will be approximately 100 colts entered in the show at Berne. Approximately one halt of the colts nominated each year are sold before the show opens. Purdue University, which uses only geldings, has become sold on Adams county to the extent that whenever they are in need of a good work animal, they come to this community. * A part of the recognition has been built up by selecting judges from other states who advertise Adams county horses as they travel over their own states. _o • U.

THIRTTENTER 5-ACRE CORN CLUB CONTEST Thirty Adams County Farmers Enroll In 5Acre Corn Club Enrollments in the Five-Acre Corn Club work in Adams County have been completed and a total of 30 farmers have entered the race to win the honor of the best yield in the county and perchance the stale. The complc‘3 “nrc’l.uent includes some of the best corn growers in the county who are distributed as follows: Monroe township—Edwin C. Amstutz, Lawrence Blum, Donald Burkhart, Enoch P. Habeg- ' ger, Joseph P. Habegger, Reuben L. Habegger, Rufus Inniger, Daniel ' D. Kauffman. Floyd Liby, Benj. D. ' Mazelin. Franklin C. Mazelin, Leo 1 L. Nussbaum. Wm. T. Rupert, C. 1 W. R. Schwartz. Eli M. Schwartz, L. Reuben SCTiwartz, Peter D. Schwartz, Otis G. Sprunger, Daniel D. Schwartz, David J. Schwartz, ' Calvin B. Steury, Tlaviff D. Steury. Blue Creek—Wm. Patterson. Hart- 1 ford township—Ralph S. Myers, 1 Robert Myers, Union—Otto Hoile, 1 Victor Bleeke. and Adolph Schamer- 1 loh. Wabash — Harve Ineichen. ‘ Washington—E. W. Busche. These men are out to beat the record yield in this county of 102.2 . bushels per acre made by Donald Burkhart of Monroe township in 1934. Report blanks are being sent to , all contestants for the purpose of keeping a record of previous treat-, ment of the field containing then five acre plot, manure and fertiliz-I er used, seed bed preparation and | cultivation of the crop, in fact a complete story of how the crop was i grown. Information from these successful demonstrations will be of| great value to other farmers of the I county and should go a long way in , improving the quality of the crop and reducing the bushel cost of production. Records of the past have shown that members of the Five-Acre Corn Club have reduced their bushel costs by improving their yields. These results will be tabula ed for all counties and published in the annual report of the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association which is sent to all members. Any corn grower who intended to enroll in the Five-Acre Corn Club, but who has overlooked the matter, should get in touch with the county agent at once isl he expects to have his yield officially checked up this fall.

_ * President Os Ayrshire Breeders -" - tCounty Agent photo published in the interest of better agriculture In Adams county by the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc.)

(By Robert H. Heller) The man to the right iu this picture is Henry Aeschliman of near Berne, one of the original breeders of Ayrshire cattle in Adams county. He is president of the Indiana Ayrshire Breeders Association. The boy on the left is Hugo Beitler and the girl on the left is Ernestine Lehman. Both are inter-1 ested in the breed. The calves shown in the picture are Ayrshire, a breed just begin-' niug to be introduced in Adams j county. Breeders of Ayrshire claim ; that they most nearly approach the ideal of dual purpose cattle. They are valued both for their milk and their beef. This milk is recommended for babies because of its soft curd. Several others in addition to Mr. I Aeschliman are interested in the breed in Adams county. Among these are Otto B. Lehman, whose farm is locajed three miles east of i Berne, and Martin Moeschberger, I former trustee of French township.' (By Mervin Miller) Henry Aeschliman became en-

TWO RELICS ON EXHIBIT HERE Kirkland Township Farmer Loans Exhibits To Historical Society Two unusual pieces have been loaned for a short time to the Adams County Historical society by Martin Kirchner, who lives four miles west of Decatur in Kirkland township. One is a.u ox shoo plowed up by Mr. Kirchner several years ago. Oxen were shod with two pieces of steel on each foot. The piece found by Mr. Kirchner is about three inches long. Its original width and depth can not be determined exactly because of the rust which he has scraped off. The shoe has five nail holes. Mi'. Kirchner believes that the shoe must be at least 70 years old. The last man in that neighborhood to use oxen for work was Ferdinand Bearmann, who left for Nebraska about that time. The other relic is a bootjack. When closed it resembles an old fashioned double barelled pistol. The item opens along the middle and the two barrels serve as wedges to catch the heels of the boots. The divided handle is held in place by the other foot. The pieces may be seen in tno Show cases of the society at the Adams county court house. 0 — Farm Club Notes Decatur 4-H The Decatur 4-H Club met at the home of Josephine Daniels recent-'A-demonstration on fust aid was given by Josephine Daniels.

thusiastic about Ayrshire cattle in 1925 when he visited the National; Dairy Show. Thri Ayrshire cattle i looked good to him and struck his | fancy to the extent that he signed: for literature on the breed. In a pamphlet he saw the name of a breeder living in his commun-' ity and purchased from him his first 1 i Ayrshire. Later he bought more. from other Ayrshire breeders. i One typical cow in his herd ha.s ! three daughters in production, all; producing good while she has aver-, 1 aged over 50 poulfus of milk daily 1 ’ and better than 70 pounds of fat' I monthly. The herd is on test in the Adams County Dairy Herd Improvement Association and always makes good ! ,records. I This month the herd his averaged 920 pounds of milk per cow, containing 36.9 pounds of butter tat. Mr. Aeschliman is president of the Indiana Ayrshire Breeders Association and a strong booster for i testing associations and 4-H calf club shows. This year he has personally brought into 4-H calf clubs several members.

Q — LATE GUTTING AIDS ALFALFA {Delays Through Rainy Weather Os More Benefit Than Os Harm Cutting the first crop of alfalfa I in late June because of delays due 'to rainy weather will Tie helpful lather than harmful to the alfalfa ! stan. it was pointed out by members of the Purdue University agronomy department at the soils and crops field day held here recently. Growers who felt that the growth of the crown buds indicated that I the' alfalfa should be cut now to a-vohr-fiUmage to the. stand were asI surod that no damage would re- ' suit from delayed cutting as the i tonnage will increase up to the full ; bloom stage under rainy conditions. In addition, it was declared I that storage of the plant food in the fleshy roots will permit more j rapid recovery of the second ■ growth. . The early idea that the young 'growth from the prowns indicated I the time of cutting has been dis- ■ carded by experienced growers, tor I such growth i« a poor indicator, ! as the development of crown buds ! is largely determined by the weath- ! er rather than the degree of maturity of the plant. Alfalfa should be blossoming as a rule before it is I cut, and this is particularly true lof the second and third cuttings, i In the early blossoming stages the protein content is higher than in tne la.te blossom, and dairymen I prefer the early cut hay.

Many farmerH evicted from their lands, or othera whose crops have fed the chinch bug pest, have added to the relief load, Wakely and Losey said. During 1934 the movement •of farm'families into the state was generally distributed. The sociologists say the increased population and the demand for farm lauds have combined to created pressure i toward reduction of acreage petfarm. An example of the serious prob- • lent arising from population gains is found at Sioux City. Agriculture i there contributed more than 400 ■ persons to relief rolls.
