WEED Will BE SHOWN AT FAIR — I Weed Enemy No. 1 To Be Exhibited At Indiana State Fair Anyone not acquainted with Indiana's "Weed enemy No. 1" should [ be interested in seeing the exhibit i at the Indiana State »*air, featurI ing European bindweed. Pictures, signs and growing plants are used in the exhibit to tell the story of the effects of bindweed on crops and land values, to identify the plant, and to give the most practical methods of control and eradication. I Bindweed is a morning glory-like plant that spreads by both seeds] and root parts. The leaves are [ arrow shaped, similar to those of I the morning glory but smaller. The | flowers are bell shaped and white or pink in color. The plant has a habit of climbing on nearby plants or objects. The dangers of bindweed and the need for immediate action to | prevent its spread can not be over-. emphasised. The weed has been [ found in every county in the state, and many fanners have had the sad experience of it spreading over ; the entire field merely because I they did not realize the importance | of eradicating the original infestation. Sprpying with sodium chlorate I I has proved to be the only practical [ method of eradication. It will pay farmers to become acquainted with bindweed, know its dangers, and prevent its spread. Oliver C. Lee. Purdue extension botanist, will be in charge of the weed exhibit and on hand to answer questions on weed control and to identify plants. o Wheat In State Is Below Normal — Lafayette. Ind . Aug. l.'l- (U.P.) .! Mach of the wheat inspected by the ' seed certification committee at its summer meeting here Wednesday was below normal quality liecause of stem rust damage, although the verietal purity was satisfactory, the committee reported today. Test weights of samples ranged from 42 to 61 pounds, while germination tests ranged from 80 per cent to 98 per cent. Relatively few of the samples submitted from north central Indiana met certification requirement on account of test weight, but much of this wheat I will make reasonably good seed if properly screened and graded. — Historic Plane In junk Pile London <U.R> — Searching for curios in the Caledonian market, Townley Searle, secretary of the Collectors' Club, came upon a lot the tradesman described as junk. Examination resulted in Searlt recognizing the "junk" as the remains of "Mellins airship.” which on Sept. 19. 1902, made history by flying from Crystal Palace over Ixmdon. MORE GRAIN IS FEO IN RATION Older Pullets Thrive On Ohio Station Home Made Ration Aafter 8 weeks, pullets are generally given a growing ration or developer. There are aumtwr «- feed combinations and methods of feeding for growth of pullets. In general, the growing ration contains a larger proportion of rain, is less forcing than a starter, and !s fed in trough feeders once or twice very satisfactory procedure practiced by the Ohio Experiment Station is to mix 60 pounds of regular laving mash with 40 pounds of ■ whole oats and feed this mixture ’ morning and evening in about the amount the pullets will consume ' between feeding periods. The who e ' -.its should be of good weight. (Si i pounds or better) and of high quality. The oats may or may not be clipped. It is surprising how the • pullets relish this large proportion . of whole oats. Moreover, the bta-

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1937.

tlon’s laying mash a)s-» contains 211 i per cent of ground oats; so the pul'ets receive more than 50 per cent of their total feed as oats. The pullets finish off in the fall with good I weight ana plumage condition, according to D. C. Kennard. Poultry Specialist of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. 'i When the pullets are 12 weeks | old, whole corn Is kept available in [ separate feeders at all times. The free-choice feeding of whole corn , after 13 weeks permits the pullets 'to become accustomed to eating wlwle corn at an early age. This is "desirable, since whole corn will generally constitute an important ; part of the ration for the pullets as layers during the fall and winter. Furthermore, whole corn is more valuable and less espensive than cracked corn. Needless to say, the procedure described for feeding growing pullets is ane of the best for layers. Hence there w!U be no need for changing the feed when the pullets are transfered to laying quarters, except that certain supplements. such as fish oil, milk and legume hay. may be needed to meet the additional nutritive requirements when the pullets are confined indoors. TOMATOES MAY | OE PROCESSED Homemakers Urged To Can Cheap Tomatoes This Summer This year's tomato yield which gives promise of being the largest crop in a decade will provide De- , catur homemakers with the opportunity to fill those cans in the basemen that have been empty since , berry and cherry prices s'>ared to I heights prohibitive to the average ! honte canner. The early tomatoes in Indiana. I Michigan. Illinois and Ohio have II been harvested and mid-season and ,; late varieties are appearing on mar- ■ kets. These, home economists, de--11 clare are more desirable and usui ally much cheaper than earlier . sorts for canning purposes. This year it is expected that millions of bushels will be utilized by housewives tor tomato juice, 11 chili sauce, catsup, and as plain canned tomatoes. At the city-owned Benton Hari bor cash-to-grower market in southi western Michigan sales to truckers ■ and shippers are expected to total ■ more than three-fourth of a mili Hon packages within the next few . weeks. Varieties offered at that point as I well as in the Decatur community which are highly desirable for the ■ housewife are John Baer, Chalk s ■ Jewell and Stone. A much prized i tomato that has gained popularity • for its attractive round, even shape I and its ability to hold up well un- : der canning is the Marglobe, a pro--1 duce of the U. S. department of agriculture. This year's tomato crop for the nation as a whole is expected to be greater than all the crops during the seven-year period from 1926 to 1932 and in the middle west in 10 years.

FLUES PROTECT : WHEAT IN BINS I , Wet Wheat Requires Care i In Handling To Elim- i i inate Loss i Succewive rains during the thres- ; ing season in Ohio may cause wheat to be a trifle too wet for storage. The following steps seem Import- t ant in handling grain that may spoil f in storage. t Weed seeds and cracked grains ' t should be removed as soon as poe- s sible to the content of less than 1 1 ( per cent. It seems advisable to have a mois- I ture determination made of the < grain to insure knowledge of its 1 exact moisture content. ' It is also of value to know the < amount «f immature kernels, the t grading as to soft or hard wheat, and the test weight as it reflects in < shrivel grains where these factors s are known. < The farmer needs no advice in re- ‘ gard to the common means of hand- 1 (ling, such as spreading the grain f to thin layers or possibly moving 1 . the grain by means of shovel or ■ eleva»,r. However, these 1 practices are not possible or are 1 at least quite impracticable. In this case the use of ventilating flues in bins may prove effective. A Hue which R. C Miller of the , Agricultural Engineering Department of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station helped install was effective in North Dakota in preventing spoilage and in curing | wheat containing 19.8 per cent of moisture. Although the climate /M Ohio is somewhat different from that of North Dakota, there are many principles that apply in this State which justify trying to use these flues in preserving the seed I qquality of wheat or other grain in storage. Made of Boards ‘ I The flues may be construtced '-'f 1 .by 4-incli boards, spaced 6 inches [ i apart, with house lath cleats at the | top and bottom. Since these flues ■ are placed parallel to the floor, the ' bottom of the flue needs no covering; the top is covered with wire fly screen. I A practical ps-icedure in making , the flues is to make four or more 1 flues at a time. Taking four flues as an example, the total width would be 24 inches. In this case a • 24-inch wide mly screen can be 1 placed over the four flues. The laths I to be used on the top side can then , ■ be nailed to the 1 by 4 boards which form the sides. After all the nailing is completed, i the 'ath and wire may be cut with a ’ hatchet Ui separate the flues. Very I light staples may be used to fasten l 1 ■ I !■■■«— I Statement ot Condition of the ' NATIONAL LIFE INSI HAXCE , COMPANY Montpelier, Vermont 131 State Street - On the 31st Day ot December, 1936 I , FRED A.

the wire at points beween the laths. The spacing of the flues In the bin. which determines the number, might he as follows. The flues, if at al possible, have one end exposed to 4he outside wall. They could be placed about 3 feet apart. The first tier should be placer! at the floor leve.’. The second tier cjiild be placed about 18 inches directly almve a point half-way between the flues below. Succeeding tiers can be similarly spaced until they come within a foot below the top surface of the grain. Holes Cut Holes should be cut In the walls to accommodate the end of the flues; this permits the outside air , to enter the flues and circulate ! through the grain. Al! openings i should be screened to prevent the | entering of insects, mice, and rats, i To prevent the entering of mois-: ture and damp air, metal or wood covers should be provided for the ' holes. The ends should be closed J Whenever the air is very motet, because dry grain will absorb moisture from damp air. This protection may seem c impli-' rated and expensive, but it te very , simple and inexpensive. The total cost of materials is only about 1, cent per bushel, times capacity of j the bin. One man can easily construct and install the flues in a 500bushel bin in 1 day. The flues within the bine may be supported by upright boards if the length of the i flue exceeds 8 feet.

NEW WHEAT IS DISEASE-FREE Purdue Experimenter To Show New Hybrids At State Fair Dafayette. Ind.. Aug. 13 —It coet ' Indiana farmers several million bushels of wheat to entertain a group of uninvited wheat diseases that feasted thte year >a thousands I of HOosier harvest fields, the great- | er portion of the loss being due to [ black stem rust. Dr. C. T. Gregory, . Purdue's eextension pathologist, in ' an exhibit at this year’s Indiana ' State Fair, will show how the leaf ' rust and mosaic diseases of wheat I can be controlled by disease resistj ant varieties and how stinking smut and la ve smut may be killed by ■ seed treatment. Dr. Gregory will be | with the attractive exhibit throughi out Fair week to discuse the wheat [ dis aseS including Black Stem Rust. Example of new wheat hybrids | that are restetant to leaf rust and | other diseases will be shown. In Indiana wheat leaf rust is the most eerious disease of wheat because of its freqquent occurrence, although its reduction In yield seli dem exceeds twenty to thirty per I cent. It te not so spectacular a disease as the black stem rust that swept into the state this year, caus-

ing almoat complete destruction of the crop in parts of Indiana. In Indiana, however .stem rust has never before been so destructive as It was thte year, and is usually not as important as lhe leaf rust. Wheat mosaic is the comparative "y new disease that Indiana farmers slvald learn to recognize. It may cause serious losses on susceptible > varieties but fortunately a number of Indiana's good varieties of wheat are resistant. One part of the Stat? Fair exhibit will deal with thte new I disease. Stinking smut, loose, smut are two ; diseases that are common in Ind- ; iana. The new Ceresan treatment i for stinking smut will be featured i in this exhibit. Farmers are urged i to rep/vt any stinking smut Infestation that they may know about in [their neighborhood. They may do 1 this at the Fair or hy writing to Dr. ; C. T. Gregory, Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station at HORSE SENSE Did you know that only 22 of Indiana's 92 counties produce more potatoes than are consumed within the county.
