SEES WIDE USE FOR SOY BEANS IN INDUSTRIES Expert Says There Is Hardly A Limit To Industrial Products Ames, la., Sept. IS—There is. scarcely a limit to the industrial products that can be obtained from soybeans, Dr. H. E. Bardnard, director .of research for the national, farm chemurgic council, told members of the American Soybean association gathered at lowa State college this week. "The relative use of the soybean depends upon one thing, the ut Hi-; ration of the meal.” he said. "The i demand for the oil is elastic, but \vhen the meal is not used it is not economii ally feasible to market the beans tor oil alone. There is i where the future in soybean rais- 1 mg lies. The protein in the meal ' can be used for a thousand things, ■ once it is industrially developed. I That process is going on rapidly. Predict Amazing Growth "in • few years the growth of the- soybean industry in America will he amazing. It hinges, to a > great extent, on these factors: "Mineral oil resources in America will be depleted soon. Our coal •ri-piy. as has been stated many times, is not inexhaustible and the t longer it is mined, the more ex- j pensive the process will be. “A substitute must be found for oils and coal. With the new developments that will come, soybean oils can he made to take an appreciable amount of the burden from industrial oils. The chemist can do very nearly anything, if he works at it long enough. "The uses tc which soybean meal can be put are multiple. The cheap protefu that it contains can be made into plastics and into silk that is indistinguishable from the real product. It can even be made into woof, or into a number of food products. Uses Not Yet Developed "The uses are not yet developed. but will be in the future. And rJoMfe is no other domestic ofl grown in America that can compare with soybean oil. In the paint industry, soybean oil. because of the superior stability, will eventually crowd oat linseed. Its one weakness now. and one that is rapidly being overcome, is quick ness of drying. In a few years that will be no problem.” Dr. Barnard foresaw greatly increased economic use of farm products through further industrialization of the soybean industry, and advocated that acres now taken out of production be put into soybeans. for industrial purposes. Raps Foreign Policies "The raising or lowering of tariff wslls. the setting up of reciprocal trade relations, and the artificial adjustment of quotas,” Dr. Bernard said, "will in the long run be ineffective in securing for our farmers the reopening of world food markets which hava been closed by nationalistic efforts to meet food needs with products of their own acres. "Every thoughtful farmer, every sound economist, every American citizen who wishes American labor on the farm and at the factory to be steadily employed must face these tacts and seriously consider i the development of alternative sit ' WANTED: Rags.

WHEAT SMUT IS i NOW PREVALENT — Stinking Smut Reported Unusually Prevalent This Year | One of the forms of wheat smut, ' commonly known as stinking smut I, 'or bunt, has been unusually pre-1 valent in Ohio and Indiana this | ' year. Scarcely any section of the j ‘area is free from the disease. Since ! the spores of the fungus are so readily spread from one farm to another by threshing machines, it is very important that all seed be . treated before sowing this fall, ad-* vises R. C. Thomas, of the Department of Botany and Plant Pathol ogy at the Ohio Experiment Station. Treatment of the grain with cop-t per carbonate dust is known to be , effective and can be easily done. It | is not necessary to use a highlypurified grade of the chemical, be-' cause commercial grades will serve the purpose equally well, provided they are finely powdered. The cop per carbonate is used dry, being known as a dust treatment. Treat ed seed can be stored indefinitely i without injury to germination. It' is not necessary specially to clean or sterilize sacks in which treated grain is held. Use 3 ounces, or 3 heaping table ' spoonfuls, of the copper carbonate i' , dust for each bushel of grain. I Treatment can be made in a bar | rel, churn, cement mixer, or by j shoveling over on a floor or flat surface. The last method is least satisfactory because much of the ) dust will be lost and will also be ! : unpleasant to breathe. It is best to use some form of closed, rotary , container for making the treatment I Every grain should be well coated ! with the dust. Since treated grain does notl flow as readily as untreated, drills i should be set to sow a little heav-; ier than the desired amount of seed. Drills should be thoroughly | cleaned at the close of the day and I when seeding is done, in order to f ' prevent corrosion and sticking.

Crampton Canneries Plant At Celina Model Os Cleanliness

(Editor's Note:— The accompanying article was written by a' member of the Daily Democrat stuff, following a personal tour of lr.zpe< lion of the plants of the Crampton Canneries. Inc., at Celina. Ohio. The writer accompanied | Roscoe E. Glendening, president of !tbe Decatur Chamber of Commerce, and Harold Bowman, secretary- ; treasurer and general manager of : the company.) By Pete Reynold* City Editor | With Decatur growing rapidly, 'and yearly becoming the site for more and more diversified induat- ! l ies, the writer accompanied the president of the Chamber of Com- • merer to Celina this week to ini spect the plants of the Crampton I company. This company, which maintains i its general offices in Celina, is operating a receiving station in Deleatur this year for tomatoes, grown -by Adams county farmers under { contract with the Crampton evomI puny. Without any solicitation, the comi pany has expressed a desire of I building a canning plant in this I city, providing growers of this community are willing to contract ■with the company for their output, and other satisfactory arrange- ' menu can be made. No Odor This writer, as is the case with ! perhaps 90 per cent of the populace of the city, started the trip well remembering former experi- ■ ences with canning factories. When we stopped in front of the ' Crampton plant, there was no od-

NEED CARE IN > BUILDING LAWN Landscaper Gives Fine Points For Care Os Lawn Good soil, proper grading, prop--1 er drainage, viable seed, and proper care in fertilizing, watering and mowing are the essentials for a 'successful lawn, T. D. Gray, exten- ' sion landscape architect of College ;of Agricultural. West Virginia Uni- [ versity, declared in a radio talk. | Speaking of the first essential, ’ good soil, Mr. Gray pointed out that if the soil is a heavy clay, or low and wet, ordinary grading or i sloping of the surface may not be I sufficient. In such cases three-inch agricultural tile laid in trenches ,20 feet apart and 15 inches deep i is necessary, he said. Proper grading is brought about i by removing the topsoil first, gradling the sub-soil, and replacing the' topsoil so that the best part of the soil is available tor the lawn which is to follow. The grade should I slope away from the house in ail , directions and should slope just I enough for good drainage for 20 feet from the house. At least five or six inches of good soil, such as one would expect to use for gardens, should then be . added over the mineral soil before ' I sowing grass, Mr. Gray advised. I The best time to sow a lawn, he isaid. is from the middle of August ■ to the first of September, and seed- ; ing should never be postponed latler than the first of October. The ■ advantage in fall sowing over the i spring sowing is that fall sowing ' catches the rains which usually j set in amout mid-Angust. and most !of the extreme hot weather has j passed. To obtain an even distribution ' of seed. Mr. Gray suggests that it 'be divided into four parts, with I the second part being sown at i right angles to the first, and the I third and fourth parts diagonally. The surface should then be gone over lightly with a rake followed by a light roller. A complete fertilizer should be applied stteh as a 10-6-4 mixture early in April. June, and Septem

or reminding of canning plants of, ' former years. Going into the gen- ■ eral offices, we met Mr. Bowman We were shown through thei plant, by Mr. Bowman, from the point where the tomatoes were be inst unloaded, on through the en ' tire canning process. Particularly impressive was the cleanliness of the plant, of the; workers and of the great care tak en to handle the tomatoes as clean as possible. Even In the cooking room, there was "no objectionable odor. The Celina plant is equipped to can 10 tons of tomatoes per hour, and has averaged as high as 13 tons per hour There was little activity in the pickle plant, located in another part of the city, the only workers at the time canning onions. Many of the onions canned by Cramptons are grown in Jefferson township, I Adams county. Tile Crampton company has a * plant is Mendon, Ohio, where to matoes are canned; and three., plants near Columlnis. Ohio, where , all sweet corn canning is done. I 200 Acres Approximately 200 acres were I contracted for by Adams county tomato growers this year. Mr. Bow man stated, in reply to direct questioning, that the tomatoes grown in other areas for the com- j pany. Shorter runs than the average year are being made by the Cramp- j ton company, as unfavorable weath-' er conditions during the summer months have resulted in below normal crops in practically ail instances.

her. Lawns should be mowed whenever the grass has grown one to ' two inches since the last mowing. Weeds should be kept out because they crowd out the desirable grassres. — o ♦ Program Os Events For Soy Bean Field Day September 23 * • ’■’lT 'A M. —Guide conducted tour of Central Soy Plant. JO A.

CLOSE CULLING IS NECESSARY Close Culling Os Poultry Flocks Urged By Expert —— | In spite of rising feed prices due to drought conditions, farm flocks will continue to make their own- j ers a profit If they are properly managed, states S. A. Moore. Extension poultryman. University of i Arkasas College of Agriculture. However. Improved practices and higher production will be necessary to offset the increased cost of feed. ; T?ie low producing hen that has ■ ■ formerly made her owner a small i profit will likely be fed at a loss If retained hi the flock this year. 1 his makes it necessary for farm-; ers to cull their flocks more close- i ly than they would under normal < conditions. Hens that have gone I through one year's production i should receive careful attention to remove the low producers. Many j of these will be indicated by ear- i I ly or slow molts. Culling is based on four prinei-1 ' pal factors which are generally us-; ed to determine the laying ability | and past production of a hen. They are: The molt, pigmentation, body changes, and the head. A bird i should not be culled on the eviI dence presented by any one ofi these factors, but all of them

Lafayette. Ind.. Sept. 18—Despite reports coming from states ’ west of Illinois, where the drouth ■ caused lighter Hessian ITy infestations. Indiana farmers should make a special effort to observe the flyfree date this fall when they sow their wheat, states J. J. Davis, head of the entomology department at Purdue University, who, in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Entomology, has just completed a survey of the state, which shows a general infestation of the insect in all counties. Only a seven per cent infesta- • tion was found in the northeastern • Indiana counties. However the ' j heaviest infestation 39 per cent found in southwestern counties. Davis pointed out that the western ! side of the state had a heavier infestation than the eastern side, but the insects were found generally enough to cause serious consideration by all Indiana farmers. Numerous reports have been sent I to the entomology department from many parts of the state, revealing

I should be taken into consideration. Summit Culling In summer culling, the molt should receive first attention, be- ; cause, generally, the early molters , are poor producer#. Usually birds i molting before September should j be culled. When a hen is producing she uses ’he pigtnent or coloring I matter from the skin. This eauses | an apparent fading of the skin, beginning at the vent and continuing through the eye ring, the beak, i and the shanks. Nonproducing, or cull birds, have thick, stiff pelvic bones which are set close together. The breast; bon is edrawn up until it is close i to the pelvic bones. The vent of a ; cull is small dry and usually yell ow. When the hen starts laying the keel bone drops down and the pel i vic bones spread apart and become 'soft thin, and pliable. The abdom ■en is enlarged and the skin cov-; ering it also becomes soft and pli ■ able, while the vent Is enlarged.moist, and well bleached. The head of a profitable ben is i fairly short, wide, and deep. The j eyes are large and prominent. The . ' cull usually has a long, slender, snake-like head with dull flat eyes and a coarse, meaty face. The | 'come of a hen that is laying, or j ready to lay. is large, distended and plump. It is bright red and ■ waxy, while the comb of a hen j that has quit laying is dry, hard. and covered with white scales. These principles are applicable ■ to hens that have been laying for : one year. Pullets raised this year should also be subjected to vigorous cull-

- large numbers of the insect, Dav i is stated. 1 Wheat sown after the fly-free ■ date, the safe dates for which are > on the accompanying illustrations, - is less likely to be injured by Hes- ; sian fly than wheat sown ahead of I the fly free date. Sowing wheat as t ter the fly free date is the most . effective practice that farmers can f follow in preventing trouble from I the fly. the entomology specialist 3 declared. II Other preventive and effective I practices Davis recommended to - be used in controlling the Hessian 1 fly include: seeding this sail’s a wheat as far away from the stubble t of the preceding crop as possible; cultivating the soil to prevent and 1 destroy the growth of volunteer 1- j wheat; and plowing under old stubble before wheat sowing time, preventing the emergence of the 1- flies to lay eggs on young wheat 1. and also destroying volunteer t.' wheat, which would otherwise pro(i I vide an ideal breeding place for g I them*.

Ing. In culling pullets, the grow er should be guided by evidence of body capacity and constitutional vigor as shown by head characteristics. The well-culled flock will lay almost as many eggs as the unculled flock but since there are few er birds to feed they will make a greater profit for the owner. _ Q " classified’ * ADVERTISEMENTS BUSINESS CARDS AND NOTICES « — ♦ " ~ RATES * Otte Time—Minimum charge at 25c for 29 words or lees Over 20 words, I'4c per word.
