1938 DEMAND TO BE DELOW 1937 EXPERTS STATE Farm Market Prices Decline With Cost Os Living Demand for farm products probably will not be as favorable in 1938 as in 1937, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, United States Department of Agriculture. This outlook is based upon an analysis of the general situa- • tion, which indicates that in the fall of 1937 the upswing of the business cycle has been temporarily halted. Although it is impossible to determine definitely to what extent the present recession will continue into 1938. the chanI ces appear to be against a suffici- '. enly early and vigorous rise in 1938 to bring the average of industrial activity and of consumer incomes for that year up to that of 1937. Foreign demand is expected to show -little, if any, improvement. The trend of wholesale prices in the United States has been slightly downward since April 1937. tud -, this general tendency is expected to continue into 1938. with lower • prices* for some raw materials, farm products, and manufactured \ goods offsetting higher prices than ■ in 1937 for some finished and semi- '■ finished products. Increased Supplies . Increased supplies of farm products in the United States and de- , ■ creased supplies available in for- ' eign countries should result in a •! materially larger volume of agricultural exports from this country SANITARY -OUTDOOR PRIVIES : r<\ . • |R' W. 4 • LABOR FREE WPA Project • Help Fight Typhoid Fever Dysentery. 4 • Approved by Indiana State Board of Health.

I in 1938. The larger volume is ex-! pected to move into export channels at lower average prices than! lin 1937. Both prices and buying power: ' per unit of farm products are ex-1 pected to be lower In 1938 than in | 1 1937. Cash farm income in 1938, ' including cash income from farm I ' marketings and Government pay-, ’ments. may be somewhat less than .'in 1937. Conservation Program Aids In view of the probable demand j and prices for farm products dur-| ling the coming year. L. E. Archbold ' | county agent believes that farmers ‘ ' will find the new Agricultural Con-j '\ serration program for 1938, espe- • I dally helpful. Goals provided in the program' 1 1 for the coming year are planned to I bring about a better balanced sys-1 ' tem of farming and to promote | conservation of soil. These goals. I in the form of definite acreages of! j soil-depleting crops and a definite j 1 amount of soil-building practices will provide abundant supplies of all crops for domestic needs and • export, but without the large surpluses that ruin prices, and at the same time the program encourag- | es practices to conserve soil fertility. The new 1938 conservation program, like thos for the past two years is expected to raise and sustain farm income in the following ways: First, by keeping down burdensome surplus, thereby influencing ! the prices of and income from farm products; second, by encouraging 1 more extensive use of efficient farming methods: third, by provid ing conservation payments to farm,ers. and fourth, by making the land able to produce more, when and if needed. GRAIN TRADERS DOUBT FIGURES U. S. Government 1938 Wheat Estimates T iwms— Questioned Chicago. Nov. 13 —(Special) — The recent forecast by the I lilted , States department of agriculture that “too much wheat" will be produced in this country in 1938 has been received with amazement by ■ members of the grain trade in Chicago. , They point out that a forecast now. with virtually all the hazards i of winter wheat production in the ■future, is at its best no more than a guessj Issuance of the forecast on the eve of a congressional session to i consider ever-normal granary and , i other crop legislation is believed , ! here to be a coincidence. However, until recent years, such forecasts were not issued until February, when many of the weather dangers j ,to growing wheat had been passed. , J One factor which adds to present , ; uncertainty is believed to be the I sub-soil moisture condition west of , I the 100th meridian, whore the cum- : ! illative effect of several moisture , | deficiency years prior td 1937 may : be apparent in 1938 yields. Acreage Estimated In making its forecast, the fed- l leral bureau considered an acreage i ' planted to wheat which, it estimat- I led, may exceed 81,000,000. o I XPPOIXTMEXT OF EXECUTRIX Xo. :m»<> I Notice is hereby given, That the ’ ! undersigned has been appointed Ex- ( erutor of the Estate of O.

History Os U. S. Department Os Agriculture Is Announced — -

j A brief history of the United States Department of Agriculture 'entitled, "The Response of Governi ment to Agriculture,” was issued today. It reviews the growth and adaption of the Department's work to the changing pattern of American' agriculture since President Abraham Lincoln signed in 1862 the Act creating the Department. The , publication, written by Arthur P. Chew of the Department staff, was I issued in connection with the ob--1 servance of the Department’s anniversary which will he observed ■jointly November 14-17 with the Association of Land Grant Colleges in all of the States, was also signed in 1862 by President Lincoln. Federal services for agriculture began long before 1862, however. Whn he was in England as an ag-i ent of the Colony of Pennsylvania. | Benjamin Franklin sent home silk-; worm eggs and mulberry cuttings! to start silk growing, and also spe-j cimens of seeds and plants that he ! thought might do well here. After the Revolution, American consults abroad followed his example. This was the origin of Federal plant introduction work, which gave us practically all our field crops except tobacco, corn, some types of beans, and a few lesser crops, and eventually became the basis of ex

The Cream of Indiana fruits and . vegetables is being packed with Indiana's new standardization pro- { gram, under the "Hoosier Seal of Quality”. This plan, launched by the Indiana Horticultural Society with the cooperation of Purdue University, offers to every Indiana producer the opportunity of merchandising his fruits and vegetables so that they meet the needs of the; consuming public, which demands a standardized product in an at- ‘ tractive package. The “Hoosier Seal” is a distinguishing label placed on packages of fruits and vegetables that guarantees the product to be Indiana [ grown and to be of U. S. No. 1 or j better quality. The four fundainen- j tai requirements back of the Seal i are, first that the product must be j U. S. No. 1, secondly that the product must be Federal-State inspect-! ed and passed, thirdly that the' fruit or vegetable must be in nfew! containers, and the growers must sign a contract and give an accept-; able SSOO performance bond that he will meet all the requirements: as designated for the use of the “Seal of Quality.” I

11 tensive new developments in Am- ■ erican Agriculture. In Patent Office The Patent Office, which was then In the State Department, re- . ceived and distributed the foreign seeds and cuttings. In this way, it I • developed a kind of division of : agriculture. Congress appropriated 11.000 to it in 1839, “tor collecting and distributing seeds, prosecuting agricultural investigations, and procuring agricultural Investigations.”! Thus for the first time Congress recognised agricultural research as logically a public function. Toward the end of the nineteenth [ century, economic conditions and Federal legislation broadened the Department's responsibilities far! beyond the realm of production | science. ,As the settlement of the I I country proceeded and production | j expanded new problems arose. It was necessary to find additional outlets for agricultural commodities. to cheapen and improve their distribution, and to aid farmers in matching their production with demand. Therefore the Department developed various economic services, notably crop and livestock reporting, market regulation, and the dissemination of economic information. In 1913, with special Congressional authority, the Department

In addition to the foregoing rigid requirements, the “Hoosier Seal ’ has back of it the most progressive growers; the Indiana Hortifultural Society, and the Federal Government, as every lot of fruits and vegetables has a Federal-State certificate that guarantees the quality in the package to be U. S. No. 1 or better, as marked. Already this plan of selling fruits and vegetables has attracted pref--1 erence and increased prices from distributors afld consumers through out the midwest. During the summer more than 30,000 bushels of ' early apples, and 60 cars of cantaloupes were sold under the Seal. Now some 300,000 bushels of Indi tana apples are moving to leading distributqrs under the “Hoosier Seal". Several of the leading chain stores are buying in large quantities, these Indiana apples of distinction. It is lisped to make the “Hoosier Seal of Quality” the distinguishing mark on Indiana grown fruits and vegetables so that growers, distri- ! butors and consumers will have a product of top quality that will I bring satisfaction to everyone.

began systematic work in market-1 Ing. Congress authorized the furth-1 er development of commodity grad- ! ing and Inspection services, and I the provision of a nation-wide mari ket news service. After the World I War, it became necessary to deal ,with production and marketing together, as the two halves of a slngI)e problem. Experimental legislation. including the Agricultural ! Adjustment Act in 1933, and subsejquently to the enactment of the 'Soil Conservation and Domestic j Allotment Act. NEGLEDT HURTS FARM MACHINERY I Few Machines Wear Out; Most Rot Or Rust Away’ On Farm Neglect of farm machinery is l costing American farmers millions I of dollars annually, says W. J. Gi!-| more, head of the agricultural engineering department at 0. S. C. Few machines actually wear out, but many are rotted or rusted out he pointed out. Good care of farm machinery l calls for protection from the weather by housing, protection of the. parts subject to rust or decay and[ repairing, adjusting and replace ! ment of parts, he says. A shelter for farm machines I needs only to he adequate to pro-! tect from moisture, snn and dust.! and a simple building with wide: doors for easy storage or removal of machines is desirable. Professor I Gilmore points out. If space is at j a premium, poles or tongues and eveners can be removed without I disturbing other parts, he explain-1 ed. Professor Gilmore offers a few j suggestions on storing harvesting ' machinery. It is especially desir-’ able to place the mower, binder' and combine under shelter to a-i void high depreciation and repair costs, he says. When storing, a, block under the center of the ton-1 gue may keep it from warping. If' the mower is stored with the cut-' tar bar In a vertical position, it is well to place a block under the inner show to relieve lifting parts. If stored with the cutter bar down, unhook the lifting spring. If bar is tilted so that pitman is under a strain it may take a permanent twist and cause trouble labor. * « I Test Your Knowledge | Can you answer seven of these I | ten questions?

SUNSHINE WITH GREEN FOOD IS POULTRY HELP Losses May Be Lessened By Eliminating Vitamin Deficiency Eggs that fail to hatch each year ' bring the nation's poultrymen and hatcherymen more than a $14,000,000 loss, points out A. E. Tepper, ' assistant poultryman at the Uni-i I versity of New Hampshire. I An obvious answer to the all im-1 portant question of how can the poultryman secure a greater percentage of profit during the winter season is to improve the hatch-1 ing quality oh his eggs, says TepI per. The actual accomplishmen of this is not easy, but there are many hatchability factors which can be', 'influenced hy the poultryman. One of the first recommendations for the improvement of hatchability that Mr. Tepper suggests is the greater use of free sunshine. I Sunshine Tried In experiment conducted at the National Agricultural Research ! Center at Beltsville, Maryland. | where the breeding flock was al- | lowed outdoors in the winter sun- ’ shine, the hatchability of their eggs i increased 14 per cent. This increase I was shown despite the fact that : the hens had previously received a diet containing two per cent cod ■liver oil. An adequate supply of i vitamin D is a necessity for good 1 hatchability and may be most eas- | ily furnished through direct sun- ' light, cod liver oil or other vitamin i 1) concentrates. The efforts of a deficiency of vitamin G upon hatchability has ' also been escertained and recent i work at the Cornell Station indi- ! cates that breeders need approxi- ' mately 230 units of this vitamin per 100 grams of feed iu order to produce eggs that hatch wvfft Ad-: ditions of dried milk, dried whey !or alfalfa leaf meal tend to increase the value of a raiion from this standpoint. No winter ration for confined breeding flocks should contain less than five per cent of dried milk products or its equivalent in condensed or liquid form, unless a meat meal is used and is known to contain enough of dried whole liver to make up at least two per cent of the total ration. i — o ** uLI SETNSE A 4 H club boy s chances of win ning in the county or state shows next year will largely depend on what kind of care and feed is given his calves this winter and next spring.
