- Better Balance Needed BETTER BALANCE NEEDED Farm u non-farm income available for living per person HfiCtNtf—- : /Vaa * * u » M r VO ■» J, ST* • "* 1 J!"? cbi ’ l ' shows a comparison of farm income and non-farm income | available jag- person for living. Each income is expressed as a per-! centage of its 1910-14 average. For example, in 1932 farmers had about I 4O r 4 as much income available for living as they had back in 1910-14. while city workers had about 120% as much as their average for 1910- I 14. Tin.' disparity between the income of farmers and non-farmers has i decreased since 1932 and for the past three years incomes of the two ! groups have been in better balance than at any time since the war. — —

nomies points out that in the past few months there has been a rapid downturn of industrial production and some falling off of the aver- . age level of commodity prices. “The decrease in commodity prices thus far has been caused the prices of farm products, but mainly by larger crops lowering if the recession in business activi ity continues much farther, it is ■ likely that prees mgy be materially affected by it. Consequently the ! trend of business activity might I become a dominant factor in aff■ecting the trend of corn prices from , December, 1937 Io May, 1938,’’ the publication explains. d 0 TREATMENT OF ORCHARDSHARD Correct Fungicides For Orchards Difficult To Choose It is usually during the winter that fungicides are select’led for the control of fruit diseases ! Each season this task becomes ! more complicated. An increasing j number of complaints as to lack , | of control and injury to fruit and foliage continue to arise. These !! create a demand for substitute maI terials. Consequently, experimenters are strenuously at work try- ! ing to develop materials to meet ‘ I ° I these demands. A simple and concise spraying program cannot be devised. In itsplace there is a program that contains many options. From it the conditions, must make his selections, since factors affecting disease development, control, and injury very tremendously over the State. The standard fungicide for most fruits in some form of sulfur. The spraying combinations are limesulfur or dry lime-sulfur in prebloom on apples, followed by the same in weaker strengths, or a good wettable sulfur used either lone. Copper compounds. Bordeaux with one of the lime-sulfurs or aaud the insolubles, are not recommended in northern Ohio and are recommended in southern Ohio only in summer applications lor the 1 control of Brooks spot and bitter rot. i If. C. Young. Chief of the Botany Department of the Ohio Agri cultural Experiment Station, gives the following suggestion to fruit growers selecting fungicides. II diseases are being controlled, the finish of the fruit is satisfactory, and the grower is having no loss from spray injury, he should continue the same spray schedule that has been used. If things are. not going satisfactorily, the grower should vary the schedule slowly ! until a suitable one is found. A complete change to new materials mv be a costly experiment.

TIME ARRIVED 5 TO CLEAN SEED Winter Is Good Season To Make Sure Seed Is Prepared Now is the time to reclean seed . ami to have it tested. Especially is this true if the services of the State seed laboratory at Purdue University are desired. The seed testing laboratory is I maintained by the Purdue Univer-1 sity Agricultural Experiment Sta-, tion and is a cooperative labora-1 tory with the Bureau of Plant Industry. In addition to the provision ' of testing samples under the regular seed inspection, the Indiana Seed Law provides that any citiz- i ’ en of Indiana may. in accordance; with the regulations prescribed by' the State Seed Commissioner, sub-’ mit samples of seed to be tested free of charge. Last year approximately 4.000 purity tesls and 23,000 germination tests were made. The busiest i ' time in the seed laboratory is from j January to April During this period tlie State Seed Commissioner often finds it necessary to limit the number of free tests for any one firm or person to two samples in any one month. Furthermore, during the rush season it is not 1 always possible to issue prompt reports. For these reasons farmers are urged to send samples of ' their recleaned seed to the labor- j atory without diday. Directions for taking samples land blank forms for use in submitting samples of seed for analysts may be obtained from any I County Agent Agent office or by j writing to the State Seed CominisIsioner, West Lafayette, Indiana. Not less than a cup full of the ' j alovers or grasses and one pint of cereals or seeds of similar size should be sent in order to have a reliable test. The sample should I I be as representative of the lot of seed as possible because no matter j I how accurately an analysis is made ; if can show only the quality of the ! sample submitted. All samples to be tested should be sent immediately to the State i Seed Commissioner, Purdue Uni- | versify Agricultural Experiment Station, West Lafayette, Indiana >j — * BIG EGG Who said White Leghorns lay small eggs, Henry F. Galltneyer .' of Root township wants to >j j know Mr. Galltneyer brought into the Democrat a four ounce egg. ' which measured lO’/z by 7*/z inches in diameter. The egg was flayed Tuesday J | by one of the birds in Mr. Gall- ' > meyer's flock. i « ' ♦

NO INCREASE IS EXPECTED Hog Prices Are Expected To Remain At Lower Levels Following the slump in the hog : and cattle markets in November it ! appears probable that prices of these meat animals will run for ; some time at levels below those ! of the past year, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics said today in its current livestock situation reports. Hog prices, which had been around sl3 in mid-August, dropped sharply to about $8 by late November. The chief reasons for this rapid decline, according to the i Bureau were (1) a greater than 1 average seasonal increase in the - number of hogs going to market, j (2) an increasing weakness in con--1 sumer demand for meats and lard. ' 13) a weak storage demand for I hog products apparently induced ' by the prospect for larger hog ! marketings and lessened consumI er demand next year. Marketing Same The total tonnage of hogs going l to market in the current marketI ing year, which began October 1. ; is expected to about equal that of last year. In view of the decline in consumer demand for meats, the Bureau concludes that hog prices probably will average lower in the current marketing year than tn 1936-37. Prices of the better grades of cattle, after reaching during October the highest level in the 16 years of record, also declined 1 sharply in November. This was | ascribed partly to a readjustment , of the wide spread between prices i of the better and lower grades and partly to some weakening i'n conI sumer demand for meats. Since last June cattle slaughter j has been ruinning considerably | smaller Ilian a year earlier, and calf slaughter in recent months ! also has been less than in 1936. It is expected that larger numbers of the better grades of slaughi ter cattle will come to market in me first half of 1938 and that prie ies for these grades will decline , more than usual in this period. Ttecent reports indicate that the number of cattle to be fed this winter will be much larger than last, with a large part of the increase occurring in the eastern Corn Belt States. H W E SETNSE Seldom is it ever profitable for I farmers to sell timber in a lump I sum. Measure and grade the logs as you would any other crop for sale. Most disinfectants are not washing substances. That kind of work is for hot water'and lye. Alway clean the floor, walls, and other surfaces before spraying them with a disinfectant. There is no danger in allowing chickens outdoors every afternoon, whenever the ground is dry. Internal parasites will often cause colts to be unthrifty, explain Purdue specialists. Have your veterinarian examine your colts and give the treatment anytime during January. New Year’s resolution: "Since all types of farming depend upon the soil resources, my 1938 farminf practices will stay within the ‘soil budget’ ” WTiat all dairymen worry about:

Dec. 31 Address-1 i es by many state and national agri-; ( cultural leaders will feature the. annual Agricultural Conference at 1 Purdue University, which will be! 1 held Jan. 10 to 14. Some of those ■ who have been engaged are pictured herewith. University officials are expecting thousands of Indiana] farmers to attend the many ses-' sions planned. ' Os special interest to Hoosier' hog producers will be a talk by D. L. Swanson, of Chicago, manager of the Chicago Producers Com-. mission Association. He will speak Tuesday morning, Jan. 11, 3 o'c lock 1 in the Ijivestock Judging Pavillion,' on “The Hog Market in 1938. | “Problems of Hybrid Seed Pro-1 ' duction and Performance," will be discussed Wednesday afternoon,! Jan. 12. 2:30 o’clock in Eliza Fow--1 ler Hall by C. E. Troyer, of La-! Fontaine, three times 'World’s Corn King’ and long a co operator; on many Purdue projects. Dairymen of the state will be interested on “Pasture Utilization in Dairy Production,” to be given ' by John B. Abbott, of New York,! director of agricultural research kinds of feeds fed, the number of f cows, total production, and total or net income. Farms with the most livestock j well-managed make the most money, but farms with the most live-! stock poorly managed lose the most money. Twenty-three thousand germination tests and 4.084 purity tesls were made by the State Seed Laboratory in the Purdue Agricultur- ! al Experiment Station during the year ending June 30, 1937. i Further information on any of I lie foregoing topics may be obtained by writing to the Depart- ’ ment of Agricultural Extension, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. o I Suspect Chiseling In Gross Tax Returns , , i Indianapolis, Dec. 31.

Uncle Jim Says i Iww wW; “It’s a whole lot cheaper to grow I your own work-stock than it is to j buy it, providing you use a good j stallion and have plenty of good I pasture. 'Old Nell' foaled two I mighty fine colts last spring and they have cost me practically . nothing thus far."

NEW BOOKLET IS RELEASED Pamphlet Gives Pointers For Dairy Barn Construction Urbana, 111., Dec. 31 Spurred on by federal housing and building programs, dairy farmers who plan to build or remodel their dairy barns have been given an eightpoint standard as a guide 111 a new < Ircular, No. 478, "Building and Remodeling Dairy Barns," which has just been issued by the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Written by C. 8. Rhode, professor of dairy husbandry extension, and W. A. Foster, associate chief in rural architecture, the publication makes its appearance right at a time when dairymen in the St. Louis milk sheds are planning construction to meet requirements of the St. Louis milk ordinance. Convenience Convenience of operation is the first of the eight points listed for consideration by the circular. Others are economy of construction, comfort of the animals, sanitation and drainage, number and size of stalls, arrangement of feed alleys, location of windows and storage facilities for feed. "Wholesomeness of dairy products, comfortable working conditions and the health of the herd are at stake in the arrangement and care of the dairy barn,” it is explained. "The difference between irritating drudgery and comfortable profitable work is often no more than a matter of differences in the placing or the design of floors, gutters, stanchions, feed alleys and windows. “in building a new barn, one has the opportunity to incorporate the essential features of approver! design and modern equipment. If a] new barn can not be afforded, an old, inconvenient, unsanitary barn and well-thought-out changes, be may often, by a few inexpensive I converted into a satisfactory barn." Plans and directions that will be helpful either in the building of new barns or in the remodeling of old ones are included in the circular. In addition, although the distribution is limited, blueprints of dairy barn showing details of construction may be obtained by writ-' ing the College of Agriculture at'] Urbana. o * St. Paul's Ev.
