HYBRID CORNS TEST HIGHEST Experiments In Adams County Show Better Hybrid Corn Yield Alt interesting experiment has been conducted by Ben Mazelin. county cow testing agent, in the production of hybrid corns. According to his experiments, the yield of hybrid corn was 14 per , cent above the best ordinary corn he used. The hybrid corn yielded 190 bushels to the acre and the yellow dent only 86. The hybrid produced good tall fodder and remained intact after wind and rain ) storms when the ordinary varieties ’ were badly blown down and tangled. A test plot on the David F. Mazelin farm, under the supervision of Purdue, proved decisively the same general results. | Records of the survey will be tabulated and the results sent back to the county tor study. A more extensive survey will probably be I made in the near future among all the herds in the testing associa- * tion to help the growers select the superior corn. Although hybrid corn >s comparatively new to most farmers it has been given considerable consideration by Purdue, and a very good hybrid has been picked as the best for this part of the state. 0 All Eligible For County Contest AU women in Adams county are eligible to compete in the Adams county farm bureau cake contest to be held at the Kirkland community center d u ring the first week in December. Women who are interested in the contest are requested to contact Joe Winteregg at Berne who will give them a free 10 pound sack oF flour, processed by the, farm Jnfrvan at Anbnm. Details of the contest will be an- ’ i nounced soon. One requirement is ! that contestants bake only white I breads and cakes.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1935.

EXCESS PIGS I MAY BE GIVEN TO INFIRMARY Surplus Over Permitted Production May Be Given To Infirmary Word has been received from 1 ; Claude Wickard, who heads the corn-hog administration in Wash- ) ington, that any excess pigs above I the permitted production for corn i hog contract signers may be dis posed of by giving them to the county infirmary. The county poor farm can use them Th any way; deemed fit, as long as they are used for charitable purposes. The local corn-hog committee visited with the commissioners in their recent session, and it is agreeable to them that the excess pigs be turned over to Harve LaFountaine, superintendent of the county farm, who will give the contract signers a receipt for the pigs. Notice is being mailed to all corn-hog producers apprising them of the method of disposition of excess pigs. Mr. Wickard stated that after a producer receives tnis notice that he should not destroy pigs at the farm. If they are so destroyed, they will still be counted against the perthiTled production. As soon as possible after November 30 the farm supervisors will begin checking up hog production, and Homer Arnold, county supervisor of compliance, urges all producers to have their evidence of sale of hogs and purchases of feeder pigs in good order by December, 1; as he hoped that the counting of hogs and checking of evidence, can be cared for by the loth of December and help to hold the expense of this work as low as possible. o— RECORD BOOKS , TO BE CHECKED Assistant County Agent Aids Farmers In Completing Records Edw i n L. Richman, assistant 1 county agent for Adams and Jay I counties, has been interviewing farmers who purchased the Purdue I farm record books on the uses made of the books during 1935. In cases where farmers have had questions about entries these have been answered and help given to 1 , facilitate the completion of the' record books. Many farmers who kept their books in sufficient detail to give a clear picture of their farm enterprises are planning to have their books summarized by | the farm management department of Purdue university. i This summary is made free of ' charge to the farmers of Adams ) county. in order to get a book summarised there are four things uecesI sary in it. The farmer should have I his beginning inventory, cash receipts. cash expenses and closing ; inventory. 1 A surprisingly large number of 'excellently kept farm record books I have been discoverer, in the counI ty. Mr. Richman expressed his ! gratification at the progress being done along this line. Many of the fanners are expecting to take advantage of the free summarization offered by the university. LOW FEED COSTS ADD TO PROFITS — Economical Feed i» g Methods Mean Better Profit To Farmers Urbana, ill., Nov. 15 —Many farmers are making the most of the ' improved prices for dairy products | Iby adopting economical feeding I i methods, according to reports) I reaching J. G. Cash, dairy husbandry extension specialist at the I College of Agriculture, University I of Illinois. Savings made through more eco-1 ' nomical feeding are only one, or the many ways in which more than i 1,100 farmers of Illinois who are) members of dairy herd improve- j meat associations are finding that, they can increase their returns, he I

(said. Substitution of hoineg ro w n grains for more expensive protein feeds together with replacement of part of the corn by oats are two ways by which Illinois dairymen , are finding it possible to cut feed costs without lowering their herd production averages. One member of the McLean county No. 1 association increased his monthly net I income from 17 cows by SIO.BB with a less expensive ration. Oats replaced a part of the corn in the ration, thus reducing the cost of ■ feed approximately 24 cents a hundred pounds. His herd also produc- ' ed 34 more pounds of butterfat a month on the cheaper feed. Another McLean county dalryi man belonging to association No. ,2 increased his net income $11.55 ‘ a month through the same kind of , a ration change. A member of the Vermilion-Ed-gar county association used a ra- ' tion composed of corn, oats and distiller's grain instead of corn and a high protein supplement previously used and was able to cut feed costs by nine cents a hundred pounds, although the protein con ’ tent was the same. The cheaper ration reduced the feed cost of butterfat by five cents a pound and the Teed cost of milk by 14 cents a hundred pounds, Cash said. FINISH SURVEY FOR INFECTION Ten Per Cent Os Tested Cattle In Indiana Show Bang’s Disease A survey has just been complet ' ed in the United States by the de partment of agriculture showing 'that 10.5 per cent of the 113,968 cows and heifers examined for Bang's disease in Indiana are infected. In five stab's the percentage of dairy and breeding cattle under ’ supervision exceeds 20 per cent land 4ii 19 states the proportion is cent or less. ' Oregon. Washington and Virgin ia are the leading states as oi October 1. 1935. Testing for Bang’s (disease was only recently started 'in California and Wyoming. A large proportion of cattle test ed in all states have been dairy • cattle. Department officials point i out, however, that the situation i will change from month to month as additional cattle are brought Under supervision. 11. B. Auction. 7:30 p. m.

HERD RECORDS DRE SURVEYED Four Adams County Herds Surveyed For Results Os 11 Years (By Merwin Millerl The adams county herds belonging to Jacob J. Schwartz, Peter D. Schwartz. Dan 1). Schwartz and Sol Mosser recently had a survey taken of the records of their foundation cows 11 years ago and the records of all their progeny since. This is the first effort of the United States department of agriculture to locate what is termed the superior germ plasm so future herds and plants may be propagated from the better germ plasm. Don Tyler, formerly a cow tester in Jay and other counties, took this survey. Only 28 herds in Indiana were nominated for this work and four of them were in Adams county. The Oliver Steed herd at Portland was also nominated and is in the Adams county herd improvement association. The records of the survey will be tabulated and the results sent back to the county to study. A more extensive survey will probably be made in the near future among all the herds in the testing association to he 1 p the breeders select the superior foundation stock from which to breed for better animals. 0 Former Berne Man Purchases Store Beine, N v. 13—Clint Smith, former manager of the Richardson store in Berne, has purchased the n ilt Shoe stors at Dalton, Geoergia.
