ed yield” method. WifiT this method. farmers who do not have adequate records on their past production may have their average yield estimated by a local farmer committee. This yield is then adjusted if necessary, by the county allotment committee. Farmers with sufficient records may use their own figures as they have in the past. “This procedure is more fair to the efficient farmer as it gives him an allotment which closely reflects his production in past years,” Geo. E Farrell, director of the Division of Grains, said. "It represents a more equitable method for all farmers than the former method of using the county average yield in which the more efficient farmers received, in effect, smaller allotments than they were entitled to in order that everybody might use the average yield." The signing of an application is the first step a farmer takes in placing his wheat land under contract. Between the time he signs his application and the time the final contract is ready for signature, there are several other steps. o— Poison Is Mistaken For Morphine, 10 Die Chicago Nov. 29—(UP)— Source a fine, white pow’er which narti < users a parer'ly have mistaken for morphine and which already has been blamed for 10 deaths was sought by police today The latest victims were Ernest Land, 53, and Georgia Bide, 23, both of whom, police said, were addicts. The deaths of eight others were reported previously. All 10 deaths were blamed on the mysterious poison today, as police revised an earlier theory that Malaria spread by a hypodermic needle was responsible. o— Trade in a Geod Town — Decatur

REPORT YIELDS 5-ACRECORN CLUB MEMBERS Club In Adams County Sponsored By Improvement Association The Adams County Crop Improvement Association sponsored the 5-Acre Corn Club work and corn variety tests. Benjamin D. Maselin, the president, has just released the returns on the check-up in the work this year, and they are as follows: ("G”—gold, "S"—sil ver, "B"—bronze). The three tarmers getting goU medals were Victor Bleeke, Decatur, Otto Hoile, Decatur and Franklin C. Mazelin of Berne. The yields indicated below reflects the general feeling that the present corn crop was one of the best we have had in years. Unquestionably the yields of the men above are far above average for the reasons that these men have been selecting tneir seed before severe frosts, selecting ripe husks on green stalks under normal competitive conditions, have carefully drleu the seed, and in most cases used the rag doll method of germination testing. The Adams County Crop Improvement Association also sponsored corn variety tests in four different locations in the county. Namely: Victor Bleeke, Union; Ralph S. Myers, Hartford; Franklin Mazelin, Monroe; and Milton Girod, Kirkland. In these plots were the following varieties: Reids yellow dent, King, early Reid Purdue Hybrid No. 486, Hoosier Hybrid, and three check plots of the owner’s own corn. Conclusions can not be drawn from one year's work of this caracter, but the indications generally are that where the farmer selects and cares for his seed as indicated above his yields outrank those of other varieties, except the hybrids. Hybrids generally show about a ten per cent increase over the owner's yields and generally stands up better.

Nov. 29 — Features of the dairy situation are a decline i in milk production since September; increased prices and consumption of butter, cheese and evaporated milk, and reduced storage stocks of butter, according to the . Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Milk production on November 1 was about 3 percent less than a year ago. Milk production per cow was practically unchanged, but ’ there were 3 percent fewer cows. The decline in production was especially marked in North Central States. Low production per cow and the ( decrease in number of cows are ( due principally to low prices of dairy products in relation to other farm products. Present price relationships are not favorable for dairying, especially in areas where dairying competes with meat animal production. Consumption of butter in Sep- ■ tember is reported as about 7 percent larger than a year ago, of • cheese about 11 percent larger, and of evaporated milk about 11 ' percent larger. The out-of-storage i movement of butter in October was i about twice that in October-a year ago. I. o f Rich Stamp Exhibitors Barred 1 Spokane.

URGES USE OF ELECTRICITY IN RURAL LIFE Electricity Medium For Taking Drudgery Out Os Farm Work Washington, Nov. 29— Progress moves with post-holes. Electricity keeps step with time. While work has always been the text of the American creed, drudgery spells death to development. Our pioneer ancestors literally chopped their farms from the wilderness with a broadaxe. They ploughed the ground wiui <rook. ;tlcks and harrowed it with logs. Nature yielded her bounty to them luctantly and farm work was never easy. Their tenacious struggle to exist to build and to expand, will long oe remembered in song and story. Improved labor methods were never disdained, however, and occasional individual prejudices aainst change were speedily submerged in the wave of general .•e.t'are. The pioneers beat their muskets into plough shires and nrogressed. The same spirit of progress exists today, and farm families are as eager as ever to scrap the laborious methods of their fore lathers in favor of easier and more efficient methods of work. During the course of our development science stepped down from his lofty pinnacle and became practical. He figuratively scratched his head, and things began to hum-r dynamos and things. Science made electricity and memium for taking drudgery out of work. Farmers of today see no particular virtue in grinding feed or pumping water by hand when electricity will do the work cheaper and easier. But to literally millions of this hard-working group, hand power is. even yet. the only available power. And, as to farmers’ wives, our revered great grandmothers probably worked no harder than they. Housekeeping is only part of the farm women's job. When the city woman gets her husband off to his office in the morning, and the children off to school, she might sometimes find herself wondering what to do. The farm woman is never in doubt. If she does not get to her garden, the bug will. Her butter does not come wrapped in celophane, nor is the family milk supply delivered in bottles. Eggs mean money to the farmer’s wife, but the he ns will not lay unless they are fed. Shocking, but accurate, figures disclose that there are over five and one-half million farm houses, or over 80% of the total number, in our "modern” country without running water supply. That means that there is water in the average farm home only when some one carries it in—and that some one is usually Mother. The woodpile, for no good reason, is usually about as far from the house as the well, and some one steps off that distance regularly if meals are to

be ready when the gong rings. Electric power will "bring the spt-iiig to the back door" and into the house to an inside bathroom and a modern kitchen. It will give sate light wherever it is wanted, and it means relief from drudgery. Yet, many farmers who are eager to electrify their farms, hesitate at the thought of the cost. The initial outlay for line extensions and the thought of the monthly bills sometimes seems too much. Then too, they know that equipment costs money. To give them a lift over these financial hurdles, the Federal Government has set up two organizations —the Rural Electrification Administration and the Electric Home and Farm Auth or 11 y—to make loans for building power lines and to finance, at a low rate, wiring, pump and plumbing installations. and electric equipment. REA loans, to be repaid from the earnings of the lines over a 20-year period, carry a low interest rate of three percent. Write to the Rural Electrification /Ydministration in Washington, D. C. for further information concerning its plan.

REGULATIONS RECOMMENDED National Potato Advisory Committee Recommends Rules Washington, Nov. 29— The National Potato Advisory Committee, which has concluded a two-day conference with officials of the potato section, has unanimously recommended that regulations be drawn up under the Potato Act permitting all growers, w!lose sales records show that they have been’'Selling not to exceed 50 bushels of potatoes annually, to obtain tax-exemption stamps sufficient to cover sales in the amount of their actual average sales during the base period, 1932-35. For example, if a grower s average sales during the base period were 20 bushels annually, he would receive tax-exemption stamps equal to 20 bushels for each potato allotment year. The Committee's action was taken after it had been informed by officials of the Potato Section that authority for such an exemption may exist under subsection (2) of section 205 of the Act. Previously, the Potato Program Development Committee, composed of representative commercial potato growers, had recommended on October 5 that the exemption for producers be increased from 5 to 50 bushels. The National Potato advisory committee, representing all important potato producing areas in the United States, stated that the intent of the act was to prevent periodic accumulation of large commercial surpluses and not to interfere with the established practices of the small non-commercial growers and that consequently the proposed exemption increase conformed to the spirit of the Act. The procedure used in determining the national and state allotments of tax free sales for the 1936 crop was explained to the committee by Joseph A. Becker, of the bureau of crop and livestock estimates. During the discussion the fact was developed that growers in the country as a whole may sell more potatoes in 1936 free from tax than has been sold on the average during the six year period 1929 to 1934. o —— I

EGG PRODUCTION REPORT HIGHER — Farm Hens Laying Better On Novemoer 1 Than In History Farm henn were laying more egga per hen on November 1 than at any other time on (hat date since the Bureau of Agricultural Economics began keeping records xl years ago. The average number of eggs laid per 100 hens and pullets of laying age was reporteu as 19.5 on November 1, as compared with 17.7 a year ago on the same date. The previous high figure wus 19.4 per 100 bens in 1931. These returns do not include production by cominercial flocks. "The highest summer and fall egg prices sitices 1929”. says the , Bureau, “favored liberal feeding.( * * * Furthermore, the number 1

of heus and pullets of laying age is gradually recovering front the drastic reduction made last fall and winter. The present number appears to be about 2 percent above the number on hand a year ago.” o JOINT MEETING ON DECEMBER 3 4-H Calf Clubs, Improvement Association To Meet Together There will be a joint meeting for the Adams county 4-H calf clubs ' am> County Dairy Herd improvement associations at the E.

There will be an election of officers for the Adams County Dairy Herd Improvement association. . eter D. Schwartz, president of the inrlatlon, will preside. Plans for programs for the next year will be made. The visitors will be given an opportunity to Inspect Mr. Kruetzrs utie herd of register d Holstein cattle. This herd has been on test in the association for the last 10 years and has made many good records. The herd bull is one of the finest of the breed In the county. It won a first prize at the state fair and is from the cow which was the grand champion at the Indiana State Fair for the last two years. An Interesting study will also be made of soy bean hay which Mr. Kruetzman ran through the silage cutter and blew into the mow. Mr. Kruetzman is very enthusiastic about this method which he found made the hay easier to handle, liked better by the cattle lakes less room in the mow. The hay appears to be keeping very satisfactorily. o—, d- in • G'■»«*
