ey. North Park is located 15 miles north of Pittsburg and has approximately 5,000 acres. South Park is located 15 miles south of Pittsburg and lias approximately 2,400 acres. South Park has the fair buildings. a half mile race track, a grandstand to seat 150,000 people and is lighted by a floodlight system, ranking favorably with the [ best in the United States An annual fair is held at the park for one week to which the pulffic is invited to attend free. The attendance this year was estimated at 2.200,000 persons. The park is policed by a squadron of trained, mounted police whose animals are hay geldings from two to five years of age and are either three-fourths or full blooded animals. The parks sponsor polo playing ; and riding exhibitions. Each park has about 30 miles of bridle paths.

VISITORS TO HOSPITAL TO MAKE REPORT I 4-H Club Members Visiting Irene Byron Sanitarium To Give Reports Members of the Adams county 4-H clubs who recently made trips to the Irene Byron tuberculosis sanatorium at Fort Wayne will make talks at the schools which they attend. The novel idea of disseminating information concerning the tuberculosis program iu the county was devised by local 4-H club leaders in cooperation with the Adams county tuberculosis association. The leaders were taken through the sanatorium and then were explained the common symptoms of the disease. Martin Lueck, president of the Irene Byron Sanatorium, has writ- I ten a letter to County Agent L. E. Archbold, complimenting the pro- | gram here. Mr. Lueck stated that ; the early synvptoms of the diseasel are so slight that many children do not tell their parents and teachers for fear that they may have to take bitter medicine or stay home . from school. Mr. Lueck stated that the children will tell their school friends. . Because of this Mr. Lueck expressed the hope that the information would be broadcast among the children and the ravages of the disease cut down. W. Guy Brown has written letters to all principals of schools which the boys and girls attend who went on the trip asking that I they make reports on their visits. PROPOSE NEW RYE PROGRAM Proposed Rye Production Program Is For Years 1936 To 1939 — Evidence presented by rye producers at two public hearings on the proposed rye adjustment program of the agricultural adjustment administration which were held recently at Aberdeen, S. D., and Washington, will be used as the basis for the final recommendations for the rye program, according to word received by County Agent Archbold, from Dr. A. H. Benton, who is to be in charge of the new rye program uhder George i El Farrell, director of the AAA division of grains. L. E. Archbold said that the proposed rye program as outlined by Benton is for the four year period 1936 to 1939, and would be administered locally in connection with the county wheat associations. Producers will be asked to adjust their acreage of rye for harvest as grain to 75 percent of their base production. Advance adjustment payments of 20 cents per bushel for the farm allotments, which are 30 percent of the base production are planned, with the total adjustment payment for the 1936 crop expected to be at least 35 cents per bushel on the allotment. “According to the testimony at the hearings,” Archbold said, “rye in the eastern territory is about 45 cents below the parity price for this crop. This fact, coupled with the consolidation of the rye program with the wheat program to reduce administrative costs should make the proposed program attractive to rye producers.” FARM PRODUCTS SALES HIGHER September Sales Os Farm Products Rank Higher Than Other Periods Washington, Nov. I—Farmers sold $636,000,000 worth of products in September, compared with $547,000,000 in August, and with $623,000,000 in September 1934. They received in addition AAA benefit payments totaling $56,000,000 in September, compared with $45,000,000 in August, and $76,000,000 in September a year ago. The. Bureau of Agricultural Economics, which reports these figutes. says that marked increase in income from August to September

is usual hut that this year the increase was greater than usual. Sales and benefit payments combined for the first nine months of 1935 have totaled $4,710,000,000 compared with $4,453,000,000 In the corresponding period of 1934. Os this year’s total, farmers received $406,000,000 in benefit payments compared with $326,000,000 last year. The figures reveal an increase of $187,000,000 in income sales during the period. The bureau says that should in- ] come from sales continue to make . about the usual seasonal changes ( during the next three months the total income from farm marketings ‘ in 1935 would amount to about $6,- ( 200.000,000 compared with $5,831,-! ( 000,000 in 1934. Rental and benefit payments in addition will be abfcut $600,000,000 this year compared with $556,000,000 in 1934. Total cash farm income from' marketings and from rental and benefit payments, on the basis of . these figures, would he about $6,- , 800,000,000 in 1935 compared with $6,387,000,000, in 1934. o FARMERS WILL I 1 FEED SOYBEANS I I Much Os This Year’s Crop Will Be Used As Feed By Cattle Farmers Washington, Nov. I—Dairy and .beef cattle farmers in the corn belt will use much of this year's soybean crop—twice as large as last year’s—as feed. Cattle find ground soybeans and soybean meal very palatalile. Soybean meal is the product left after the oil has been extracted. “Either ground soybeans or soybean meal used as a protein supplement on dairy farms compares favorably with linseed meal and cottonseed meal for milk production,” says the U. S. department of agriculture. ‘\A mixture of 490 pounds of ground shelled corn, 200 pounds of I ground oats or wheat bran, and 100 pounds of ground soybean meal is a very satisfactory winter feed when given with legume hay and silage. When mixed grass hay cut at a mature stage of growth is fed i Instead of legume hay the propor i tlon of ground soybeans on soy bean meal should be doubled. I While the cows are on good pasture, the corn and oats in the ration may be increased about 25 percent, although the 4-2-1 mixture is very satisfactory even on pasture. "Each cow's daily allowance of I concentrates should be determined by her daily milk flow. Experiments by the bureau of dairy industry indicate that, when fed good legume hay and silage along with grain at the customary rate, Jersey cows will consume enough nutrients in the roughage for maintenance and a daily milk production of 10 pounds, and Holstein cows enough for 16 pounds. For each pound of milk in excess of 10 pounds. Jerseys and Guernseys ' should have from 0.5 to 0.6 of a ' pound of concentrates daily; and Holsteins. Ayrshires, and other breeds that produce milk testing around 4 percent fat, should have 0.4 of a pound of concentrates for each pound of milk in excess of 16 ' pounds. “With an extra good quality of green, leafy hay the roughage consumed may he sufficient for niain- ' tenance and the production of more than 10 or 16 pounds of milk, and less grain will he required. “With poor quality hay the ’ roughage consumed may not he ' sufficient for the production of as much as 10 or 16 pounds of milk ' in addition to maintenance, and heavier grain feeding will be required.” Corn is used in fattening most beef .cattle in the Corn Belt and is fed with roughage and protein con- | centrates. Soybean ineal or even I whole soybeans may be used to supply the protein concentrate. Steers fattened at Purdue University Experiment Station, on a ration including soybean meal made more economical use of their feed than others receiving cottonseed meal, whole soybeans or soybeans ! and a mineral mixture, i The department reoommends in . chiding protein concentrates such • as soybean meal in winter main- • tenance rations for beef cattle when straw, stover, non-legume i hay, or silage make up the rough- . age. If the cattle owner has a i large supply of legume hay, such as clover, Ufalfa, or soybean hay. - it may not be necessary to supply - extra feeds rich in protein. I 0 Dance, Sunday, Sunset.

SOME SEED MAY STILL MATURE Lespedeza Seed May Still Mature Before Heavy Freezes Occur Urbana, 111., Nov. I—Mturli of the lespedeza seed caught in a green, immature stage by early October I frosts will mature and make good seed if threshed and stored before the heavy freezes occur. .1. J. Pieper, associate chief in crop production at the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois, says In ans- 1 wer to inquiries from Indiana and I Illinois lespedeza growers. It is only where frost killed the plants before the seed actually reached the green, plump stage that the seed has been destroyed or damaged. Before growers start cutting lespedeza for eed, however, it will i be to their advantage to examine i the seed pods, according to Pieper. | A few pods rubbed out in the palm ' of the hand will give a rough idea of seed possibilities. If a large per- j eentage of the pods yield either' I brown, mature seed or that in the ■ green, immature stage, the chances are that there will he enough seed in the field to make harvesting worth while. If the pods are empty or contain only the remains of ' frosted seed, there will be little use of cutting and threshing the crop. A more exact test is to gather the pods from a small area of known size, thresh out the seed by hand and weigh it so as to estimate the yield for each acre of the entire field. Yields of 200 pounds an acre and more are considered good enough to pay for harvesting Pieper said. It is important, however, to get the green seed threshed and well along towards the mature, dry stage before hard freezes occur, he added. Green lespedeza seed contains a large amount of moisture. Consequently a hard freeze will ruin it. o CLEAN GARDENS : PREVENT BUGS Cleaning, Plowing Gardens Good Protection Against Bug Damage Urbana, 111., Nov. I—Cleaning up land plowing gardens in Indiana and Illinois this fall not only will put them in better shape for next year but also will be good protection against a repetition of insect and disease damage such as occurred in some parts of the state this past slimmer, according to B. L. Weaver, vegetable gardening specialist at the college of agri- | culture, University of Illinois.

cd up and gardens plowed this fall. While none of these insects were numerous enough to become [scourges, they were prevalent In some sections of the state, said W. P. Flint, chief entomologist for the college and the Illinois State Natural History Survey. The horned tomato worm spends the winter underground in the pupa stsige. Potato beetles spend the winter as adults In the ground, while Mexican bean beetles hibernate under trash. Fall plowing exI poses these insects to freeilng weather, the drying effects of the air and to attacks by birds and animals. Any rubbish and plant refuse 1 left on the ground will funi'sh winter quarters for the flea beetle and the squash beetle. Burning or. plowing under this refuse will help destroy these insect enemies, Flint explained. In practically all cases it is just as Effective to plow under the refuse as to burn it, ho added. Plowing under is the best practice from the soil fertility standI ixiint, since is helps to restore or-. ; ganic matter to the soil, Weaver j said. Around fence corners or oth-| ler places where plowing or spading is difficult or where sloping ground makes fall plowing an erosion risk, burning is advised. | Where manure is available, it is very beneficial if plowed under along with the Head plants, lawn clippings or leaves. If the ground slopes too much for fall plowing, the manure and plant residue may be composted during the winter and plowed into the ground next spring. o Hornet, Mo., —(UP)— A weird light aippearing on a country road near here has aroused tha curiousity of observers.

MANAGEMENT IS ONE ESSENTIAL Careful Poultry Management Increases Profit From Egg Sales Urbana, 111., Nov. I—Careful poultry management has enabled James Anderson, of near Enfield, Illinois to pay for a 63-acre farm in one year from egg returns on his White Leghorn flock, it is reported by H. H. Alp. poultry extension specialist at the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Anderson, who has been in the poultry business for several years, purchased the farm by assuming the mortgage of approximately sl,300 held against it. A little more than a year ago he moved to this farm and established his flock in two new tile hen houses. His 1934 pullets went into production about September 1 and, by September 1 of this year had produced $1,751.43 worth of eggs. During 21 weeks of this past year the 600 young hens averaged 30 dozen eggs a day. Most of his success has been brought about close attention to housing, feeding and management

|of his flock, Anderson believes. [ During recent years he has followed the practice of buying baby [ chicks from a commercial hatchery rather than hatching them at ■ home. He attempts to get the I chicks from well-bred, disease-free [ flocks and buys them early. The chicks are fed a starting ' mash recommended by the extension service of the collego. This mash is composed of 5 pounds alfalfa leaf meal. 45 pounds corn, i 15 pounds brand. 15 pounds shorts. 15 pounds meat scrap. 5 pounds dried buttermilk. 1 pound salt and a pint of cod liver oil The chicks are started early and allowed to grow to full maturity before going into production. Thus the pullets do not lay small eggs which cut the grade and price of those marketed. The hens are fed the laying mash recommended by the extension service. Both houses are of the shed-roof type and built of hollow tile. They are sealed inside to insulate against both heat and cold. There is plenty of light and air at all times, and frequent cleaning keeps the houses in a sanitary condition. Anderson grades his eggs and ships to a market offering a premium for first grade. To maintain | a high percentage of firsts, he i gathers the eggs at least twice a ' day and cools them in an egg cell!ar before grading and packing 1 them. His net price has been as much as eight or nine cents a dozen above “run-of-the-mine” prices. —.—o — Grecian Temple Unearthed Agrigento, Italy.— (U.R) —A Grecian temple has been unearthed here and from votive offerings of statuettes found in It. archaeologists believe that It was dedicated to the goddess of Persephone, who personified the changes of the seasons. o —- Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
