The cutting of timothy and clover hay which started in some secttons of the consty tost week to in full force this week. The majority of the agricultural leaders over the country arre pre- [ dieting tow prices for hay and [feed this fall because of the bumpier crop. Several livestock men intarviewcd by a. representative of the De- , catur Daily Democrat gave it as their opinion that the cheaper hay and feed will furnish a more profitable ratio of costs »nd selling prices this fall. This was especially so among cal tie interviewed. Cattle has ratoed; Almost 50 per cent in price I stnei? the first of the year. The costs of feed may drop 50 per cent I lower than last fall. As so many cattle were stonghi tered 1n the drought areas last {year it is cot expected by many I that rattle will drop in ptopori tion to the towered costs of feed.

4-H CLUBS ARE OF EDUCATIONAL VALUE TO YOUTH Assistant Caunty Agent Explains Advantages Os 4-H Clubs Here I Editor s HOC— The following article was written by Mrs. Robert Mann, assistant county agent, in charge of 4-H cleb activities.) "The 4-H Chibs, with a membership of nearly a million boys and girls, represent a vast edneaftonat undertaking for the yoeag people ’•n the farm. "At the State or Cswaty Fair yon may see 4-H Club exhibits, but there to. of course, a great deal of IH Club work which you cannot see outside of the home where It actuary takes place. “In one home, for example, an older 4-H Club daughter ha.* taken over tM management eY the family meets for a month. That is her elwb assign meet and mother takes the ch a nee The ehrt program is directed by a trained or practical home economist. The daughter is allowed te work ent the family food budget, plan the meals, and prepare them lor a month. She reckons, of course, on the foods th»t will i-osse to the kitchen from the home farm and garden, orchard, berry and melon patch. Perhaps she can plan to get along with no cash outlay for milk, rrentn. hatter, cheese, eggs, fresh vegetables, traits, chickens, ham. bacon, salt pork, perhaps other meat and lard. AB the “protective foods” as the clnb teaching shows, are on hand, so this family will have all the minerals and vitamins it needs. If all goes well in the kitchen. That also is taken care of in the rtub teaching—cooking methods to preserve food values, and at the same times produce attractive dfehbS/ * "The 4-H Clnb girl often also does a earning budget. No hit-or-tniss canning program goes in a 4-H Club. She plans for a definite of berries, fraits. or vegetables, meats, jams, jellies and pickles so that she family needs may be met and there will he no lack of the necessary variety of foods for Imlanced winter meals. A canning budget, of course, to planned to fit in with the other food supplies, so it is never a complete food budget." FIRST BUYER OF GUERNSEYS Wesley Stults Brought First Guernseys Into Adams County The first Guernsey cattle to be imported into Adams county were brought by Wesley Stults, Union township farmer. The writer accompanied Mr. Stults. Roy Priee and Merwin Miller on a -trip over the county selecting Guernsey eattle for the show to be held here in connection with the Decatur Free Street Fair next August. The writer learned that most of the Guernsey herds in she county have been started by cattle purchased by Mr. Stults or upon his recommendations. Mr. Stolts has enjoyed a colorhil career. In his youth he owned a race horse “which only once tailed to place in the money.”'Thai time Mr. Stults believes that his driver pulled the horse.' Magry of the tricks which Mr. StnMs learned in preparing eattle for the show ring where he has bee* emminently successful were learned from his race horse experience. Mr. Stults raised both Holstein and Jersey cattle before settling upon Guernseys which he is convinced are the most satisfactory milk cows. Twenty years ago ■ he came to Adams county from Ohio with a herd of Guernseys. Siace then he has made some record sales and won a large number of prizes from his herd. Those who don't know Mr. Stults can see him when the t.-uarnsey cdttle are shown at the fair next fall. He will be right down on the front row. A good many of the Guernseys shown at the fair from Adams county will hate been purchased or may trace their ancestryback co bis bevd. ' • , —0 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Celery Cabbage Good Late Salad It Is Self-Blanching and Easy To Grow. An excellent fall salad crop is Chinese or eatery cabbage. It is best grown as a late crop, and for this reason it is particularly desirable. because it brings a crisp, leafy edible to the table in the fall of the year when such things are- a rarity in the home garden. Botanic-ally It is not a cabbage at'all. b»' a mustard, and it has the upright .long leaved growth of the lettuce and celery, with the blanched heart of the general appearance of a cabbage. The flower Is like a mild, sweet cabbage, ■with a suggestion of tetety, although distinct in itself. An old vegetable among the Chinese. it is of recent introduction. comparatively, in the gardens of the world. Its main value la aa a salad. raw.

It is as easily grown and requires th<- same treatment as ordinary cabbage with one exception; it is best grown so that it mattiros in cool weather. For this reason. July is the best planting month, the heads maturing in the cool fall days. • It. is a very palatable vegetable boiled like cabbage, but it is as salad material that it is most useful. Those who like cole slaw and various cabbage salads will be delighted with the celery cabbage. It is self-blanching and unlike celery needs no hilling up or tying to produce the solid white or l creamy hearts. it is now commonly seen in all green grocers and is making its way tn popular i favor more rapidly than most , vegetable novelties It makes a more delicately flavored cole slaw < than the common cabbage.

5-FOOT WHEAT NOVELTY HERE # Wheat Crop In County Is Os Average Or Better Yield This Year Five-foot wheat ! -s a novelty in Adams county after the drought yea rs. The wheat crop has been harvested during Tne last week over the cousty and tn most cases has been of average or better quality and yield. Considerable damage was done by Hessian flies. Grain inspectors in the Southwestern winter wheat area report an unusual proportion of “Tough” and “Sample" grade wheat, the result of high moisture content, and are warning farmers against storing it except where it can be dried and conditioned. This information was in a statement issued today by Federal Grain Supervision officials of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Early receipts of winter wheat, i by markets, in this area show that I from 15 percent to 45 percent of [the receipts contain more than 14 I percent moisture. Department research shows that in southern or humid climates wheat containing more than 14 percent moisture, and in northern areas 1414 percent | moisture, is not safe for storage [in places that will not permit handling and drying. “All wheat containing excessive moisture should either be market[ed at once.” the department says, I "or put into properly ventilated 1 bins." Damp wheaj should never ' he stored exposed to the sun as { this may start “heating" in the '■ grain itself. Wheat that contains . green weed seeds cannot be storled safely even in ventilated bins. I hut should be cleaned before beling stored. Many country elevators are now equipped with commercinJ ; grain driers where farmers may have their damp wheat dried. WHEAT CONTROL HERE CHECKED Purdue Expert Checks Reports Os Local Wheat Control Committee A. M. Nichter. of Purdue University, district' representative for the wheat control program, was in Adams county this week, checking the reports of the local committee. Washington has announced that the 1935 wheat adjustment payments will be at least 33 cents a bushel on allotments of cooperating farmers as compared with the 1934 minimum payment of 29 cents a bushel. The payments for both years are subject to slight deductions for county administrative costs. County and district wheat Production control associations will ■ hold elections of officers during the month of Jniy, according to County Agent Archhold, who stated that the newly elected officers will probably serve through the fiscal year ending June 36, 1936. ''lnasmuch as the business of the control associatibn in the next fiscal year will be largely concerned with the 1933-1935 Wheat Allotment Contract and adjustment payments, and as the sign-up of the new contract will not be completed , for some time, it is felt that the officers to be elected this month should serve throughout the coming year," Archbold stated. "If there were to be in election of new officers during the transiition period between .the closing out ot business on the old contract and the beginning of business under the new one, there probably would be considerable delay and added expense in getting the new contract under way," he pointed out. The sign-tip of the new contract will not begin until after the annual meeting of the assoWation and all contract signers, whether they are new signers or participated in the 1933-1935 program will enjoy all the rights and privileges of tho association. oPurdue Will Again Offer Scholarships Scholarships covering registration fees for any of the four 1936 eight weeks short cdtrrses in agriculture at Purdue University will again be awarded to winners of county essay contests, which will be conducted during the fall between September Kt and December
