FERTILIZER IS HELP TO CROPS Commercial Fertilizer Hastens Corn Maturity In Test “In the raising of corn there are many factors affecting the quality and yield produced that are beyond . the control of man,” states L. K. Archbold, county agricultural agents, “but there is one thing that all Adams county farmers can do to help insure a good corn crop this fall and that is apply commercial fertilizer.” In the picture, on this page, 100 pounds of commercial fertilizer per acre applied to the plot on the left caused it to yield seven bushels more per acre than the unfertilized plot on the right, and also greatly improved the quality by hastening maturity about two weeks, according to Purdue University specialists. On most Adams county soils, 100 pounds of fertilizer applied near the hills or in the rows of corn will generally Increase the yield five to 15 bushels per acre. The most profitable fertilizer for nearly all conditions supplies both phosphoric acid and potash, but no nitrogen.

ANDERSON BOY WINS CONTEST Indiana Youth M ins State 4-H Club Accounting Contest ■ e Chicago, May 1— (Sp)—Ward Love, age 16, of Anderson, Madison County is the winner of state honors in the National 4-H Farm Accounting Contest for the recently ending farm year. It was his third year in club wprk in which he specialized in farm management. He received SIOO in merchandise or a 750 lb. capacity Mc-Cormick-Deering cream separator. This is the third year for the Love boy to keep a record on the 200-acre farm of his father, and its effects in improving the business are easy to see he states Labor

Good Prices for Soybeans Probable Again Next Fall 507 I HFI SHOWING INCREASED —K PERCENTAGE OF —JW HARVESTED SOYBEANS W*! >O/o CRUSHED SINCE 1924 407. LI —jM*! SOZ V 207 iO/7 o IW Weß 19251926192719819 W W 0 WJI W2W

Rains have delayed the seeding of oaU to such an extent that farmers can now expect only a poor crop. This situation can be remedied by planting soybeans instead as they can be planted until mid-June for a successful yield. A ready cash market is always available with comparatively good prices apparently assured for next fall. The price of soybeans is not materially affected by the prices of wheat, corn and oats but is controlled by the prices of soybean by-products, in other words, the price of soybean oil meal and soy oil, both of which are now in great demand. The demand for soybeans from processing plants has been so large and beans so scarce that nearly all of the bean crushing plants are now closed for lack of beans on which to operate. There are nve plants in Indiana, five in Ohio, one ia Kentucky while Illinois and lowa have other large proceasura. Nearly all of these 1 will be seeking beans from Indiana and Ohio farmesa.

income, rate earned on investment, crop yield and livestock efficiency are substantially above the state average figures released by Purdue University. Changes suggested are finishing pigs for an earlier ! market, improving dairy produci lion by records and more scientij fie feeding, increasing the poultry flock and making better use of labor. Should Love duplicate the success of Robert Harshbarger ozf Co-11 City, winer of sectional honors in the preceding year's contest, he will compete for national honors in the preceding year’s contest, he will compete for national honors and a SSOO merchandise prize or a tractor or motor truck, which are provided with all the other prizes by the International Harvester Company, sponsor of the contest for the third year. CALF CLUB WILL BE STRONG BODY Many Members Are Enrolled In Adams County 4-H Clubs The 4-H Calf club promises to be one of the strongest 4-H or- i ganizations in the county this j year. Enrollment in this club closed April 15, on which date the calves were weighed and record keeping started. However, sever-1 al members have not yet returned their enrollment cards to the coun- i ty agent’s office. These boys and girls are urged to get their cards [ in at once. This is necessary in 1 order that the record keeping ma-, terial and instructions may be se-1 cured from Purdue. ■ Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey and Ayrshire breeds are represented in

The most vital factor in maintaining present prices has been the expanswu of the plants so that their capacity now is 15 million bushels greater than in 1935 when the nation raised its largest soybean crop which was entirely absorbed with no surplus. In a recent bulletin the United States Department of Agriculture says: “About 38 million bushels can be expected. This would be 8 million bushels above last year’s production but 6 million less than the record production in 1935.” In view of the increased capacity of the plants thia small increase in beans will be far below needs of processors and in consequence prices should remain satisfactory. Agricultural experts are frank in reminding the farmer that soybeans are a low labor crop offering a guarantee against forage failure in drouth years and can be planted until mid-J one. Soybeans fit well into any rotation and the farmer always has a ready cash market for his harvested soybeans.

this club. Both boys and girls are enrolled in calf club work. The club members make a special study of the care and feeding of i the calves and advanced members keep production records on their herds. Gehart Schwartz is president of the club this year and David Mosser is vice president and chairman iof the program committee. He promises a very attractive and i worthwhile program for the summer’s work. o SEEK CHANGE (CONTINUED' FKtbM their act. The chamber program closely parallels that of the National Association of Manufacturers. It was | strongly indicated that the two , business associations would unite i in pressing for prompt change in the national labor policy. , Proponents of the Wagner law ' threatened to organize to block amendment proposals at this session of congress. It was believed, judging by publicly expressed opin- ! ions of leaders close to President i ' Roosevelt, that the chief executive i ! would oppose any changes at this j time. The official administration posi- ' tion was described as one desirous of “giving the newly validated act a chance to work out.” The board of directors, in drafting the labor relations program, will be headed by George H. Davis, Kansas City, Mo., grain dealer, who was elected president, succeeding Harper Sibley. 0 Chef Says it With Sugar Honolulu —(UP) —A local hotel, chef has just introduced a new note I I into the island cuetom of presenting American visitors with flowers.

ADAMS COUNTY REQUIRES LIME Many Farms Have Acid Soil, Needing Lime For Results "On a majority of Adams county land, the success or failure of legumes depends largely upon whether lime has been applied to corI rect soil acidity,” states L. E. Arch- | bold, county agricultural agent. The loss of a stand of clover, alfalfa, or sweet clover is expensive even when the price of the seed is ' cheap. As little as 400 pounds of pulverized limestone drilled in with inoculated alfalfa or sweet clover is the difference between success and failure with these crops on slightly acid soils, accordScoop/ We know we have ■ big one on trucks.

Good pasture, properly utilized, i 1 is one of the most important factors in reducing the cost of milk production. Feed production by means of pastures is much less expensive than the production, harvesting and storing of crops. The brood mare needs a little more grain than usual when she is in foal to provide both for her self and for her unborn colt. Good alfalfa or clover hay is preferred, but mixed hay is satisfactory. Other roughages, such as corn fodder and straw, may be used to advan- . tage. o Rev. Herman Is Named Conference Secretary Rev. M. O.
