ALTERNATES ARE ANNOUNCED Suggestions Made l or Replacing Drought-Strick-en Pastures Urbana. 111., Jan. B.—Three alternatives are open to fanners who, faced with a shortage of red clover, sweet clover and lespedeza, desire to maintain or establish a 1937 legume acreage, according to J. J Pieper, chief in crop production. College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. The 1937 outlook report of the agricultural college shows that supplies of red clover and lespedeza seed for the nation are about 60 pr cent of normal and that sweet clover supplies are about 50 per cent of normal. However, small surpluses of alfalfa and alsike are reported. While the surpluses of alfalfa and alsike clover are not sufficient to make up for the shortages of the other legumes, it may be possible in many instances for farmers to substitute alfalfa and asike in part for red clover and sweet clover. Pieper pointed out in outlining the first alternative. If the legumes are needed for pasture or hay, it may be desirable to stretch present seed supplies by mixing the legume seed with grasses such as timothy and red top. The third suggestion applies to canes in which the legumes are needed for soil building. In this case soybeans and cowpeas may be seeded and plowed under as green manure. Pointing out that most of the imported red clover and alfalfa seed is not adapted to Indiana and Illinois conditions, Pieper emphasized the importance of locating seed supplies within the state, if possible. “Seed supplies for 1938 seeding of legumes are alse likely to be short," he said. “For this reason

it is important that all fields of red clover, alsike, sweet clover, lespedeza and other small seeded I legumes which can be used for seed production in 1937 be kept for that purpose. With limited I supplies the price of such seed is! likely to be good again next year.” j . ■ - -o—---28 WOMEN TO ATTEND MEET Adams County To Be Represented At Purdue Conference For the past five years the Adams County Home Economics ’ Clubs have sent two leaders from each club to the Agricultural conference at Purdue. At this conference the women get first hand information in touch with the university and also contact club leaders from all over the state of Indiana.

CARE ADVISED IN PURCHASES Poor Seed Will Ruin 1937 Crops, Purdue Expert Says Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 8. — Too I much importance can not be placed upon the proper selection of I seeds for next year s crops, states 1 (). C. Lee, extension botanist of Purdue University, who points out that large quantities of seeds are purl-Tiased every year in the old haphazard, thoughtless and careless manner. Farmers are urged by Lee to Inspect the information presented on the Indiana state seed fag which is attached to every sack of seed presenting the purity and origin. germination and weed seed content. As an aid to farmers in avoiding the pitfalls in the paths of unwary buyers of farm seeds, the extension specialist makes the following suggestions: 1. Buy the seed supply early while there are still several lots of seed to select from. There is a shortage of good clover and alfalfa seed due to aha droughts of last summer. 2. If you buy mail order seed from outside the state be certain regarding the reliability of the firm from whom you are buying. Remember that when you send. your money across the state bord- ’ er you automatically lose all the, protection offered by the Indiana J seed law. 3. Don’t purchase your seed at I public auction unless it is proper- i ,ly labeled in accordance with the , requirements of the Indiana seed ’ law and examine the tags careful- ■ |>y- ! 4. Purchase seed from reliable I seed dealers and check the purity. ' origin, germination and weed seed Icontent by reading the seed tag. | 5. Beware of traveling seed ' salesmen unless you are certain that they are reliable. 6. If you are purchasing red ’ clover or alfalfa seed beware of red stained seeds. Red means danger and indicates that the seed came from a foreign country and known to be tinadapted or of unknown origin. Poor House on Prosperity St | St. Paul —(UP)— The Ramsey !

Various aspects of the farm market, rural electrification, farm famI ily recreation, and other equally' important home economics topics; will feature the special farm wo- 1 ! men’s program during the week of the annual Agricultural conference at Purdue University, Jan. 11 to 15. Many prominent Indiana farm women as well as Purdue specialists have been scheduled to pre-I sent material valuable to all Hoos-. : ier farm women. Effort was made in planning the .program, to give attending wo- | men a wide variety of interesting' j material. Besides a group of talks ' 1 and discussions on clothing, foods, I j and household management, speak-' ers have been listed to talk on world affairs, European travels, : and the farmers’ general economic I problems. | Mrs. Warren Bullock of Muncie > will give “The Rural Woman's ; Viewpoint" on rural electrification, I, ; Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 12. In the ' j discussion of the subject, Purdue ] specialists will present material on i “Preparing for Electrical Service” c TRACTOR POWER IS PROFITABLE ————— Good Management Necessary In Use Os Farm Machinery For good management of tractor power, the farm operator should' | have the objective of getting as ! | much work as possible per hour,! | A. J. Schwantes, agricultural engin- ■ eer at University of Minnesota Farm, St. Paul, says. To operate a tractor economical- ■ ly, a load which is as nearly as possible the largest that the ma-i chine will handle well should be; provided because only slightly more ! i fuel is usually required for a full ■ load than with a partial load when' doing drawbar work.

and "Electric Household Equipment That Helps.” Meal planning with farm proi ducts will serve as the topic of disI cussion on Wednesday morning, Jan. 13, when Dean Mary L. Matthews of the School of Home Economics and head of the program for women, will speak on "Making the Meal Attractive.” The discussion . will include talks on "Bread as You ;Like It” and "Recent DevelopI ments in Food Preparation.” The much discussed subject of I recreation for the farm family will be attractive to the conference women on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. O. A. Scipio of Tippecanoe county win speak on “Leisure Time Activities at Home” as a part of the general discussion. Recognition of all home economics organizations in the state! that are 20 years old or more, at I the annual banquet meeting of the ' Indiana Home Economics Association on Thursday noon, will be ] in charge of Miss Leila Gaddis. | head of Purdue home economics ex-1 tension department. Last year 20 ' clubs were represented. operating, a tractor may be cut 60, cents an hour when pulling a full load and doing the work of 10 hors-: es, and 50 cents an hour when a three-horse load is pulled. While the tractor is pulling the heavy of one horse would be 6 cents, but load the cost per hour for the work when .pulling the small load the i cost for an hour’s work of one horse would be 17 cents. I Tractor power is different from horse power in that it cannot be! divided. A one-plow tractor is equivalent to three or four horses, a two-plow tractor to nine or ten head of horses. When a small load is being pulled, a farmer "may use only two horses, but he may add more horses as the load increases.! This is not true of tractor power. - A full load for the tractor may! be provided by using a machine of a size suitable to the load, by hitch-! ing two or more implements behind | the tractor, and by increasing the: speed at which the tractor is oper-! ated. The practices of performing 1 two or three operations at the same; time, such as pulling a smoothing harrow behind the plow can be adopted. In some instances the speed of the tractor can be increased one or two miles per hour, thus increasing proprtionally the amount of work done in an hour. o Well Yields Lost Silver Oregon City. Ore. — (UP) —Eleven years ago Otto Lucht hired a man to clean a well. The laborer said he lost his puree with $5 in it i while on the job. Then more than a I decade later Lucht swabbed the well himself, found the -purse and (five silver dollars. But the laborer! had died.

FEED FOB HOGS IS IMPORTANT • "I Economical 1937 Rations For Brood Sows Are Described — To insure strong, healthy, vigor- , I ous pigs next spring, brood sows I must be fed satisfactory rations I during the gestation period, states , ! H. G. Zavoral. extension animal i husbandman. University of MinneI sota Farm. St. Paul. Feed prices are high, and Mr. | Zavoral suggests some feeds that i will be economical. In sections 1 where crops are nearly normal, the ' principal ration for breed sows will contain ground oats, just enough corn or barely to keep the sows in the desired condition, and some protein feed such as skimmilk or tffhkage. If alfalfa hay is available, some ( of the second or third crop should be fed to the sows in racks at all times. The hay may be ground, too. Good quality red clover or sweet clover hay may be substituted for alfalfa. Where skimmilk may not be obtained, a protein mixture of 35 pounds of tankage, 35 pounds of soybean oil meal, and 30 pounds of ground alfalfa meal may be fed in a self-feeder. Ground alfalfa will add to the bulk of the ration. With the above protein supplements, a mixture of two-thirds ground oats and one-third barley will make a satisfactory ration. If barley is of malting quality, however, oats may be fed alone and the barley marketed in other chanI nels. Added to the oats ration. | however, should be two or three ears of corn each day. How much to feed the brood sows will depend on their condi- ' tion. An average gilt will require 3 to 4 pounds of grain for each 100 pounds of live weight. Older sows will take less. 2 to 3 pounds for each 100 pounds of weight. Water and salt should be available at all times, and the sows should have sufficient exercise. Feeding them some distance from their sleeping quarters will provide the exercise. In most sections of the state, a mineral ration of 40 pounds of bone meal. 40 pounds of calcium carbonate. 20 pounds of salt and .05 of a pound of potassium iodide should be kept before the hogs at all times, especially for brood sows. o MEAT CANNING i IS EXPLAINED — Meat May Easily Be Conserved By Canning While Cheap The less tender cuts of meat have good flavor and make excell- ! ent canned potroasts and stews, says Miss Flora Carl of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Odds and ends of meat, and the rougher cuts, are excellent canned as sausage, hamburger, mincemeat lor meat loaf. The bonier pieces . may be boiled, the meat trimmed | from the bone, packed in the jars, , and the jars filled with the liquid they were cooked in. This boiled meat is especially nice to serve with a boiled vegetable dinner, used in making meat pie, creamed dishes, salads, croquettes, meat loaf, or in combination with other . meats. The bones may be crushed I and simmered for soup stock. The I clear, concentrated soup stock is ' excellent canned. There is some choice whether to I can meat combined with other i foods. Some persons prefer to do , this so that when the canned pro- ■ duct is opened the dish will be all ready to serve. However, many per- . sons find it preferable to can the various meat with other foods. This permits greater variety in the use of the meat in combination with fresh crisp vegetables as wellas a wider choiV of seasonings. The canning of meat with foods that require long cooking is practical during the winter months. An example of this is pork and beans which is very popular in the summer time. There is considerable satisfaction to the housekeeper to know she Attention Farmers! We do custom butchering at reasonable prices and under sanitary conditions.
