ed to the block and not permitted] to consume valuable roughage and concentrates during the coming winter. Before the purchase of feeds is considered, an Individual check up should be made of each cow in the herd. In some cases removing the low producers now and using the feeds already on hand will provide a sufficient supply to carry the profitable cows through the entire feeding period. Culling low producing cows is likely to prove more profitable than wintering them on high priced feeds. The expense of joining a Dairy Herd Improvement Association is small In comparison with the colt of feeding one or more low producing cows from now until the pasture season arrives. The opportunity to free the dairy industry of many unprofitable cows during the coming months offers a ringing challenge to Hoosier dairymen throughout the state. —o SEN. COUZENS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) day when his personal physician, Dr. Hugo Freund, ordered an emergency operation to relieve the uremic condition. With his wife and four children, including Mayor Frank Couzens of Detroit, and Homer Couzens,, a brother, awaiting uneasily outside, the senator was taken to the operating room, shortly before 3 p. m. An hour later he was wheeled back to his room, where physicians failed to restore consciousness. In his long life “Jim" Couzens crowded more than the usual experience of a human life. A pipe organ pumper at $5 a year during his boyhood, he entered industry with a meager life savings and in 1915 severed his connection with the growing Ford Motor Company with a fortune of $15,000,000. His philanthropies were many but largely unknown. It is estimated that he and Mrs. Couzens spent about $20,000,000 to improve the plight of crippled and underprivileged children. The gifts never were publicized.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY. OCTOBER 23, 1936.

PREDICT PRICES WILL INCREASE Devaluation Os Foreign Currencies To Raise Farm Values The world monetary developments of the last few days are likely to be beneficial to agriculture, the Burean of Agricultural Economics said today in a review of conditions affecting the prides of farm products. Devaluation of currencies in several European countries and the tentative stabilization agreement, together with the lowering of tarriff and removal of quotas on some commodities in France and Italy, are steps in the direction of promoting world trade, the bureau said. Any increase in world trade is regarded as likely to be accompanied by a better foreign demand for American farm products. Discussing the situation with respect to various important farm commodities the bureau noted that wheat prices In the United States ecept. for white whea,t in the Pacific northwest, continues well above an export basis. This is to be expected during most if not all of the 1996-37 season because supplies of hard red spring and Durum wheats will be less than domestic requirements. Feed grain prices declined during the last half of September and early October in response to weaker demand and better prospects for production. Because of short feed supplies there will be a tendency to market hogs earlier than usual this fall and winter, thus causing slaughter supplies from October to midJanuary to be large in relation to the remainder of the 1936-37 marketing yaer.

VARIETY TEST IS ANNOUNCED Hybrid Corn To Be Dem* onstrated Next Wednesday Afternoon A variety test will be held for interested Adame county corn home in Blue Creek township one mile north of Salem. Wednesday at 1 o’clock. The demonstration is sponsored by the Adams county crop improvement association. A number of hybrid varieties of corn will be demonstrated. County Agent L. E. Archbold end Mr. Paterson will weigh the grain Wednesday mortiiag. In the afternoon meeting George Enfield, soil and crop specialist from Pi-due university, will explain the results to the crowd. These shows have been held for a number of years in the county and have resulted in improvements in the annal corn crops, members of the association have stated. Among the questions to be answered at the meeting will be the yield, length of time required for maturity, quality of the grain, condition of the stalks of the various types of hybrid corn. HORSEJENSE When selecting feeder cattle, attention should be given to the time of marketing. Common or medium grades of cattle sell relatively better in the spring months, while well finished cattle of good quality sell highest iu the fall months. The most efficient means of destroying rats is the use of prepared baits. Plan the proper legume roughage program along with the pasture program for next year. Hooded type milk pails aid in prevrentlng stable dirt, dust, hams, and other extraneous matter from getting in the milk, increasing the quality of the product. Large quantities of milk, according to specialists of Purdue Vniversity, are rendered unusable for human consumption because of the presence of such extraneous matter. Trees in woods that have been damaged by fire have been tho first to die from the drought. Farmers, who will have seed for sale next spring, should send samples of their seed to the Stats Commissioner at Purdue for free tests immediately in order to avoid the late winter and early spring rush. Seed corn should be placed oil racks so that the ears do not touch, in order to get tree circulation of air around each ear. PH-

ihg up corn retards drying and invites the spread of molds, which may weaken or destroy the corn germ. More than 1R,000,006 common barberry bushes have been locat ed and killed In the 17 north cen tral wheatgrowing states.

Archbold will take part In arranging the program for the seventh annual Northern Ind ; iana muck crop show to be held, here, November 10. 11, 12 and 13, ; it was announced today by Whitey , K. Gast, general chafnnan of the . committee. The show will be staged in co-1 operation with the Northern Ind-' iana muck crop growers’ association, the agricultural extension department of Purdue university and the Akron chamber of commerce, i The show will include competi-| tive classes for all kinds of products grown on the muck land, including cabbage, celery, onions, potatoes, carrots, Cauliflower, tur-l nips, parsnips, corn, peppermint | and spearmint oil. Products may be entered from | Adams county which has some i muck land near Berne. Besides the display of these products there will be an educational' program with speakers of state and I national reputation. Among the speakers are: Ever-' ett L.

SHEEP BENEFIT BT NEW OUTFIT Government Finances Equipment To Control Sheep Scab The use of a sheep dipping out-' fit financed by the United Slates | resettlement administration earn- ■ ed sheep growers approximately i $2,000, this summer, County Agent' L. E. Archbold, estimated today. The outfit was constructed after notice was given the county agent's office by the Indiana livestock sanitary board that sheep suab infection was prevalent. Public sales of sheep were banned unless veterinary's certificates of freedom from the scab were furnished. At the suggestion of the county agent's office, Charles Poe, local administrator of the resettlement administration, approved a loan of $165 for the construction of the outfit. It was operated by Virgil Draper. A eharge of 10 cents was made per head for the dipping of the sheep. During the summer 2,7661 head of sheep were dipped. There i is some duplication in this figure 1 as m6st of the sheep were dipped twice to insure a more effective control of the scab. Sheep owners now estimate that, the dipping was worth about $1.50 a head in gain on the lambs and increased value of the wool clip.

EGG PRODUCTION IS ON INCREASE Poultry Flocks Are Recovering From Effects Os Drought Poultry flocks appear to be recovering from the effects of the drought, which reduced egg pro-, duction during the summer, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics 1 said today in a report on poultry and egg production as of October 1. Kens on that date were laying about as well as usual, although not quite up to last year. Even in the drought-damaged Central West egg production per hunder hens aws only about 5 percent below the usual seasonal rate, and in the North Atlantic States it was the highest on record for October 1. The total production of eggs ap pears to be running alxjut the same as it was a year ago. A small increase of about 3.4 percent in the number of layers was offset l>y their failure to lay quite as many eggs per hundred hens. Reports in July showed an increase of about 11 percent in the number of young chickens. With a big supply of young pullets coming on, hens have been sold more freely than last year. The number of pullets on October 1 was 14 percent greater than a year ago

1 and la about 10 percent greater I than the previous high record in ' October 1933. Also, because of heavy early hatching, the pullets ar* maturing unusually early thia 'season. Egg prices to prdducers have ] been discouragingly low in com- , parison with feed prices all summer. In mld-September, the average farm price of eggs was 24.5 : cents a dozen compared with 26.4 cents last year, although feed prices were 35 percent higher than a year ago. The unusually large proportion ) o# pullets In the laying flocks this winter will tend, nevertheless, to keep up egg production and thus to offset more or less the effects of feed shortage, the Bureau said.
