The need for corrective repairs on ordinary shoes is grretly stressed by this finding, according to A. V. Gingulin, St. Louis, secretary of the association. "Ninety per cent of women’s shoes bear evidence of foot defieien"y.” Finguiin said, "and the ' figure for men ran to 70 per cent.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1935.

in ENTRY BLANKS NOW AVAILABLE IN HORSE SNOW Closing Date For Horse Show Entries Is Set For July 25 Entry blanks may now be obtained for the horse show to be held during the Decatur Free Street Fair. The generaj committee announced today that entries must be tiled at once as the closing date is July 26. The blanks may be obtained from H. P. Schmitt, the county agent, Henry Dehner or Ed Neuhauser. The generaj committee for the show is Composed of Henry Dehner, chairman, Ed Nehauser. Winfred Gerke, Leon Neuenschwar.der. Dr. G. F. Eichorn, Roy Johnson, and H. P. Schmitt. A meeting will be held by the committee tonight at the county agent's office to work out the last details for this show. Along with the show will be the exhibit of the Adam* County Ga'd MedaJ Colt club. This club is making Adams county famous. This class will be for suckling grand and pure bred colts. The show will bring buyers from all over the country. Recently a class of Percheon suckling colts has been added to the premium Mat. There are a number in AHams county which are considered exceptionally good animals.. The other classes will be for Belgians. The committee is attempting to make this show one of the best ever held in the county. It will compare favorably to those held years ago when the county first became famous for its horses and exported approximately 82,000,000 annually. CHINCH BUGS MENAGE LESS Creosote Expected Here Soon To Aid In Fisrht On Infestation The 60 drums of creosote to be need in the fight to stop the spread of chinch bug were received this morning in a special car. The oar will be unloaded at the Decatur Produce eonipany on south Third street. Farmers calling for it in Decatur must receive an order from the county agent. It may else be obtained from Adolph Schamerloh, Union township; Ralph Myers, Hartford township or Henry Meyere, French township. Chinch bugs in the corn belt found natural allied with man to check their advance over the grain fields they, ravaged in 1933 and again in 1934. In late May, cool, rainy weather killed many of the old bugs, delayed tht? laying of eggs, and promoted the growth of the small grains, so that they may reach the stage where they can withstand chinch bug attack before there are enough bugs to wipe out a crop. Dr. t’. N. Annand, of the U. SDepartment of Agriculture, says a chinch bug menace now looks less alarming than it did earlier in the year. The next tWn weeks, however. will be the determining factor, according to Dr. Annand. Dry. warm weather would encourage the survival of the young bugs, resulting in heavy looses to corn when the small grains mature. Warm, wet weather would be favorable to a fungous disease that kilte chinch bugs. At this season last year newlyhatched chinch bugs were destroying small-grain and. in many places had even started their migratio'n to greener pastures in corn or sorghum fields. So far this year however, except in the southern areas, egg laying has just started. Dr. Annand warns corn growers against any feeling of false security based on the absence of chinch bug injury in small-grain fields. Grain stalks may conceal millions cf bugs waiting to attack corn or sorghum as the small grains mature. Unless halted by creosoterimmed furrows this- hungry army will make short work of com which also has been retarded by weather. From present indications. Dr. Annand says, chinch bug migrations from small grain to corn field in 1996 did ridt start much before June 20—about three weeks later than last year.

The sows, before farrowing had been fed a balanced ration. He had them farrowed on clean ground and in clean houses. After the pigs had reached two weeks of age they were self fed in a creep using the following ratio: 70 pounds of course cracked corn; 20 pounds of eoarse cracked wheat and 10 pounds of tankage.

RYE BENEFIT PAYMENT PLAN Rental Payments Will Be Made On Rye Production In Nation Washington, July 4 —A pr lamation that rental or benefit payment® are to he made with respect to rye, a basic agricultural commodity, was signed this w-eek by secretary of agriculture Wallace, the agriculture el adjustment administration announced. Representative® from 16 important rye producing states attended a meeting Wednesday to consider a rye adjustment iprogram. States represented produce about 90 per cent cf the rye crop of the country and include Indiann. A rye adjustment program in the United States is considered necessary because of the need tor establishing a balance between production and consumption and restoring rye to a fair exchange value. The prospective rye protluctlm in this country this year was estimated as of June 1 at 44.000,000 bushels. Last

I . .. — The California poppy is a hot weather grower and like most plants of this type doesn't mind a late start in life providing it has the heat to’ speed it on its way. Like most of the poppy tribe it is difficult to transplant successfully so should be sown where it is to spend its life and thinned so that the survivors will have plenty of time to develop and send out their sprawling branches spangled with the brilliantly colored cups. The finely-cut gray-green foliage is ornamental in itself. The orange types are the most brilliant for masses in thq garden enlivened with occasional splashes Os the scarlet and crimson varieties. tn combination with blue cornflower the vellow California poppies make beautiful bowls for table decoration and are one of

Adams county are following the thrifty pig program as outlined by the experimental farm at Purdue University. County Agent L. E. Archbold said today: "Following this program keeps the p:gs practically free from round worms. When this Is done other pig troubles are eliminated. When pig troubles are eliminated hog troubles are eliminated, it is then possible to produce pork at the lowest possible cost.” Few pigs are being farrowed during July. The first of the fall pigs will be farrowed in August. Others will be farrowed in September. These pigs will be five or six months old around the first of the year. It is necessary to begin thinking now of the retiuift'thenfs of raJsing pigs as the most •important period is before the hog farrow and while the pigs are small, Mr. Archbold stressed.

year the production was only 16,040,900 bushels, while the five-year (1929-33) average is 35,167.000 bus- | hels. | The annual consumption of rye in the United States averages about 32,000,000 bushels. Os this, 6.000,000 bushels is used for seed: 8,500,000 tor distilling; 7,500.000 bushels for (lour; and 10,900,000 for feed, c mtnereially and on farms. Farm prices during 1931-35. when rye w s o# an important basis averaged alMiut 71 cents a bushel but with an exportable surplus of rye forecast, farm prices have declined in recent months. As of June 15.. the estimated average farm price was 53.7 cents a bushel as compar-l ed with a fair exchange value of] 91.4 cents a bushel, making the average farm price 37.1 cents per bushel below fair exchange value. The (proposed amendments to the Agricultural Adjustment Act, now [vending before Congress, would provide for a processing tax of 30 cents a bushel on rye. This would be levied for the peril! from August J, 1935. to December 1. 1937. —■■■■ “ “Slim” Loerber of Columbia City att -ended the Legion celebration here yesterday. o— Dance Sun Set Saturday Nite

the finest of the midsummer annuals for cutting. The poppies have, a habit of. closing at night hut the closed flower, which often has a different coloring on the ourslde of the petal, is attractive. The California poppy has the advantage of flourishing in hot dry situations that are too much for many of the more tender annuals and shares with the portulaca the reputation of being something of a salamander among plants. It is one of the flowers in the cutting garden that no gardener wants to be without. In favored localities and with good protection, it sometimes survives mild winters and breaks into early bloom but it cannot be wintered reliably, although some garden writers recommend that it be so treated. It is so easily grown as an annual that it is not worth the trouble.

PROPER CUBING IS ESSENTIAL I 1 Cutting At Proper Time And Correct Curing ’ Necessary In Soybeans Washington. July s—Cutting soy beans at any time from the forming of the seeds in the pods until they are about three-fourths developed. and proper curing, are essential in the production of a high quality, marketable hay crop, according to W. H. Hnsterman. hay specialist in the' U. S. department ; of agriculture, who Is In close 1 touch ith hay markets and produc- 1 era in the Middle West. In Ohio the experiment station ( recommends that soybean hay he : cured by September 10, to avoid : heavy dews and fall rains, as well as sfiorter curing days. Under nor- i mal seeding conditions soybean | hay 18 harvested not later than : early September. 1 If a grain binder is used, a cleaner hay is assured as less rubbish I from the preceding crop is picked : up and less soil accumulates on the hay. Farmers have found that hay tied loosely in small bundles and put into small shocks cures better and loses few or no leaves, collects dirt, ad often contains trash from the preceding crop. Seeding of soybeans for hay so they may be harvested with grain binders is becoming more popular in lowa and Ohio. For best results I with the binder the beans are seeded in lands not more than four and one-half feet wide. These lands are usually about one foor apart, leaving enough room for the binder’s divide hoard so a clean swath may be cut. If the beans have been . sown at the end of the field, they are usually cut with a mower. Otherwise they are likely to clog the binder. Because of the severe drought which destroyed large acreages of timothy, clover, and other grass and legume crops in 1934. soybeans have gained popularity as an em- I ergency hay crop, both for home | use and on the market. In lowa farmers have been us- I ing 60 to 70 percent of the soybean I crop for hay. Os 1,200.000 acres I planted in Illinois last year, 700,- I i <K)O acres were harvested for hay. I WATCH HORSES FOR INFECTION Horse Owners Warned To Guard Horses Care- I fully In Hot Weather Washington. July 5— During < warm weather, horse owners are edvised to be on the lookout for | encephalomyelitis, an infectious di- I sense affecting the brain and spin- I al cord of both horses and mules I and sometimes called ‘‘sleeping sickness” or "blind staggers.” ft has caused serious losses in recent years to farmers in Maryland, Virginia, Deleware, NeW Jersey and several Midwestern and Western States, and may spread to new areas, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Use of the commercially prepared anti-encephalomyelitis serum is warranted where the disease appears. However, the immunity , which this produces ie of short duration and treatment must be repeated at intervals. The seruni should be administered by a cotnpctont veterinarian. The first noticeable symptoms of enceyhalomyelitis are disturbance of the appetite, lack of spirit, and weakness. These are quickly followed by sleepiness, grinding of the teeth, walking in a circle, or trying to push or plunge through any obstacl* with which the animal comes in contact. Later the animal tnay go down and although unable to rise may thrash violently with the feet and head. After reaching this stage the animal usually dies. The Department recommends that affected animate be isolated and that stables and other equipment be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with a formalin or lye solution. Present evidence indicates that mosquitoes or other bloodsucking Insects carry the infection. Where the disease exists horses, when not in use, should be housed In clean stables and protected from insects. Investigation by the Department and other agencies during ret-ent outbreaks have been aimed at the development of an effective tissue

vaccine. Some progress has been made and a vaccine developed will be tested further in areas where the disease occurred in 1934. The vaccination consists of an injection of a "dead” virus. Apparently many animals, but not all, may be protected by this vaccine. It was encephalomyelitis, then known as "Kansas-Nebraska horse plague,” which caused the death of thousandsf of horses in 1912. In 1930 the malady was found to he due to virus similar in invisibility to those which cause hog cholera or distemper of dogs. o- ... — Farm Club Notes Happy Home Makers The Root Township Happy Home Makers 4-H club met Tuesday at the Monmouth school.

July s—Fewer hogs will be slaughtered this summer in the United States than for many years, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics in its torrent report on world hog and pork prospects. Average weights of hogs marketed have increased since laae December, chiefly because the ratio between hog prices and corn prices has been more favorable for hog feeding. Stocks of pork on June 1, the bureau reports, were the smallest for that date’ in 20 years, and stocks of lard the smallest in 12 years. Inspected slaughter in May was the smallest for that month in more than 35 years. Recent reports indicate some change in the British policy for imports of cured pork in 1936 is under consideration. A plan for increasing imports and for levying a small import duty on cured pork has been proposed. The proceeds from the levy would be used to assist British hog producers. United States exports of hog products have been sharply reduced since the middle 1934. In view of the marked decrease in domestic hog slaughter, exports of pork and lard are likely to continue at a low level during the remainder of 1935, says the bureau.
