PRODUCTION OF WHEAT IN WORLD IS ON INCREASE Hour Billion Wheat Crop Is In Prospect For Year 1938 ■World wheat production from the 1 IJBB-39 harvests may total between 4125,000,000 and 4,075,000,000 bushels the Bureau of Agricultural Ecoiomics reported today In its currfct analysis of the wheat eltuatw'i. This compares with last year’s hlrvest of 3,827J000,000 bushels. ■This estimate of a 4-biltion bushel meat crop this year is based upon an estimated harvest of about 3,g£i>, 000,000 bushels in Northern Kmisphere countries — as now in djcated by acreage and condition rfcorts — and u-pon average crops in the Southern Hemisphere. ■World stocks of old wheat about July 1 seem likely to 'be abant 650 nrtllion bushels compared with ahbut 556 million in 1937, the Bureau said With world production as now climated. the world s wheat supply for 1938-39 would be around 4,700,090,"00 bushels, or about 320 million more than during the current season ending this June. Theke estimates exclude Soviet Russia and Ana. World Disappearance World disappearance of wheat is jftlmated to average about 3,775,OOOIDOO bushels, which would bring Btcjks in July 1939 to about 925,000.OOfll bushels. This would be more wheat. it was stated, than the 675,OOflSoo average of July stocks for 1924-28, but considerably under the peak of 1,194.000,OOH) In 1934 and alsojbelow the 1930-34 average of mon than a billion bushels. Ea rly indications point to a wheat crop from the 1938 harvests in the United States that may reach more than 1,000,000,000 (bushels. “A crop cf this size,” says the Bureau, •'would be about 365 million bushels in excess of the 5-year (1932-36) average domestic disappearance o! 670 million bushels.” Basing its computations on a 200 million bushel domestic carry-over In July 1938, and exports during 1938-39 ro larger than during 1937-38, the Bureau points out that the carryover in July 4939 may be about 100 million bushels more than the record carry- , over of 378 million reported on July ' 1, 1933. Domestic Prices Domestic wheat prices in the next month or so will depend largely upon crop developments and perhaps on the Government wheat loan ■ UJ i__U= =s= Statement of Condition of the WASHINGTON ASSIHAN4E CORI*.

It was pointed out. Wheat loans under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 are mandatory if the July 1 crop estimate exceeds a normal year’s domestic consumption and exports, which on the basis of the 10-year average would total about 750 million bushels. Export supplies of the hard milling wheats, however, will continue small In other countries until the new Canadian wheat crop fe marketed Prices of this type of wheat in the United States may continue independently strong relative to other wheats until the Canadian harvests get under way. iln its report on the 1939 rye crop prospects, the Bureau says the 55 million bushel crop indicated by the June 1 condition would be 12 per cent larger than production in 1937. And it may be the largest domestic crop since 1924 with the exception of the big crop of 1935. Europe also is indicated to have a larger rye crop this year than last. Domestic rye prices are expected to average materially lower than in 1937-38, as a result of prospective large supplies and less active demand this year. o IMPROVEMENTS ARE ANNOUNCED ■ New Sewerage System, | Saddle Horse Barns To Be At State Fair 'Harry G.

LAWN CONTROL IS EXPLAINED — Carbon Bisulfide Is Best Method Os Killing Ants In Lawn Geneva, N. Y„ Joly 1 — The peri ennlal problem of ants in the lawn hi apparently again confronting i many householders, judging from the number ot requests fer information on how to combat these overzealous insects received at the i State Experiment Station here. Aci cording to Prof. F. Z. Hartzell, Station entomologist, extermination can Ibest be accomplished by "gasaI ing” the Insects with carbon bisulf- ' Ide. The material is cheap, one treatI ment usually suffices, and the lawn harmful effecte, he says, adding that only one 'precaution is i necessary and that is that carbon bisulfide is as inflammable as so much gasoline and care should be taken not to bring it close to a lighted match, cigar, or cigarette. “Ants may show themselves in various ways in the lawn, some species building quite cOnsplcioue nests or hills, while others cover wide ■ areas in the lawn with the openings I to their underground quarters, but j in either case the treatment, is the same — gassing with carbon bisulfide,” says Prof. Hartzell. Manner of Applying The best way to get the fumes ot the carbon bisulfide into the ant I colonies is to make small holes a- ' bout 8 to IE inches deep and 6 to 8 inches apart around and thru the infested area in the lawn, in each of these openings, place one tableepoonful of the cartbon bisulfide and cover it immediately with soil. The treatment is made more effective by placing a wet blanket over the infested area for about 4 hours to confine the gas. Carbon bisulfide gas is heavier than air and will replace the air in the tunnel occupied by the adult ants and the immature stages of th? insecte, thus affecting a quick death.. One treatment usually suffices as most of the adults will be killed, and the young, if not killed outright, cannot long survive without the care of the adults. It is not necessary to purchase highly refined carbon bisulfide, which is often quite expensive, the so-called •‘technical” grade being entirely satisfactory for the purpose. Carbon bisulfide is highly inflammable and bhould be handled and stored with just as much care as would be exercised with a similar amount of gasoline.

INSECT BOOKS ARE AVAILARLE Pests Attacking Trees, Shrubs Are Described In Free Books Lafayette, Ind., July 1 — The second revised edition of extension bulletin No. 168 entitled “Protecting the Shade Trees and Shrubs Against insects” by J. J. Davis, head of the entomology department, Purdue University Agricultural Experiment 'Station, has just recently been released for distribution. The new publication takes up the kinds of insects attacking trees and shrubs, insect controls, leaf eating insects, sucking insects, ar.S leafminers. Besides containing well written articles on each of the foregoing mentioned topics, the pamphlet is well illustrated. Leaf feeders, .borers, sucking insects, gall-forming insects, leaf miners, and root feeders are discussed as kinds of insects attacking trees and shrubs. Preventive measures to *be taken against these insects are given and discussed in full. Pictures ot the Insects at work and the ‘kinds of trees and shrubs that they attack, are also given in his publication. ■Copies of the bulletin may be obtained from any county agent or by writing to Purdue University. will be the finest ever held at the Indiana State Fair. He also states that he is having lots of orders that are being placed early for the advance tickets at twenty-five cents, so get your order in to him early if you are wanting some of these tickets, but no orders will be sent out until July 11.

The Living Soil (TS MODERN CARE

By Charles H. Salt Director, The Living Soil Institute A few years ago the dahlia was considered a “man’s flower." Largely through the activities ot plant hybridizers, smaller types have been created which have received the recognition of all gardeners. Today, these autumn beauties are not only being grown for exhibition purposes but also for decorative use in the home, as well. The succulent nature of the growth of the dahlia should be giv- ////// CULTIVATE DAHLIAS FREQUENTLY en consideration by the gardener. In cases where excessive vegetative development has been stimulated It not infrequently happens that very few flowers are produced. This has led authorities to be of the opinion that additional feeding other than that associated with ■oil preparation should be withheld until the appearance of flower buds At that time, a fertilizer comparSHEEP CARE IS GIVEN FARMERS Summer Treatment Os Lambs Will Determine Health Os Flock Trouble mayibe in store for sheep raisers who fail to keep a wary eye on their lambs a« they go into the period of shorter pasturage, hotter temperatures and possible parasite infestation. P. A. Anderson, animal husbandman at University Farm, St. Paul, explains that young and nureing lambs up to now have had good pasturage, and an adequate supply of growth-stimulating milk from their mothers, and he warns against loosing this fine start when a diminishing milk and pasture supply is evident. Tie offers several suggestions to.' keeping lambs in a condition that will matke it possible for the farmer to get them into market early when prices are good and the market is less discriminating Anderson says: ‘‘Replace depleted permanent pastures with supplementary pastures. It is not too late to sow Sudran grass, either alone or with oats. If the ground is moist, rape will still make fair growth and may be sown with the Sudan. When first turning the lambs on these new crops, temper them against bloat. Fill them up before grazing even with dry roughage if necessary and make cure the forage is free from moistu'e and dew. Let them graze for only a half hour after dinner for the first 2 days. “Keep the lambs free of parasites. The stomach worm is a foe of young lambs; Folder 42, “Stomach Worms in Sheep,” which may be received from a county agent or the Bulletin Office, University Farm, v. ill tell how to treat them for it.

atlvely low In nitrogen and high in phosphorus and potash may b» applied. Frequent cultivation is essential for the best growth of the dahlia. Never allow the ground to bake and crack. Modern cultivators, pulled through the soil, operate with less effort than the old fashioned types. The former also leave the soil in a loose friable condition most suitable for the growth of dahlias. Thus, this is not the back breaking task ft used to be. Cultivation also destroys weeds, hastens the activity of soil bacteria, those garden helpers, and tends to conserve soil moisture.

The succulent growth of the dahlia indicates a need for ample moisture. In applying water, the ground should be soaked, not sprinkled. Under normal summer conditions, late afternoon or early evening is the best time for this task. Generally it may be said that watering is {detrimental unless consistently practiced. By mid-August in the Northern states, a mulch of peat or well-rotted manure may be placed about the base of each plant Grass clippings, salt hay, and similar materials may be used for this purpose. The ground should be thoroughly weeded before applying a mulch for future cultivation will be impossible. As your dahlias grow it is well to keep them tied to the stake you placed in the ground at planting time. Otherwise a storm may come up and break off the stem. Raffia, strips of soft cloth and string are used for tying. Inasmuch as cloth Is very often unsightly, one of the others is to be preferred and is just as satisfactory.

A watchful eye on the maggot is necessary, particularly in wet seasons. “ilf pastures are poor, creep feed I i grain to the lambs. Keep a good j ■ supply of water and salt available, and where laml'is are on distant pastures, provide them with temporary i shade.” I ° * ACTIVITIES OF * ADAMS COUNTY 4-H CLUBS !«. « ByErline uth Steury) Mrs. Mann came after me Monday morning. June 13, for the trip to Purdue. Upon our arrival we went to the Girls Dormitory where we | had our rooms, dn the afternoon we j went to the Home Economics building. We were going to watch some demonstrations, but it was so crowded that, we couldn’t see them, so some ot us played in the recreation room in the basement ot the dormitory. In the evening we went to the Eliza Fowler Hall where we attended a meeting. We had a very good song leader. Tuesday morning we watched some demonstrations, after which we saw the boys from Adams county give their demonstration. At the Fowler Hall we heard a very interesting deflate — "Resolved that the Country is the ißest Place in Which to Live and Make a Living.” Tuesday evening we went to a club party at the Memorial gym. We also went to a dance at the Memorial Union Building. Wednesday morning we went to the green house and looked at some pretty flowers. We had a box luch at the field house. We arrived home Wednesday evening. We had a swell time and enjoyed the trip, but were tired and glad to get home. 1 w ish I could go again next year. (By Hilda Bultemeier) Nearly 2,000 4-H Club members and leaders of Indiana attended the twentieth annual 4-iH Club RoundUp held on the Purdue University campus June 13 to 15. General ses sions were held on Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon. The speakers were A. P. Stewart, Dr. ft. M. Smith, T. A. Coleman and F. L. Reynolds. Entertainment included dialogues, demonstrations, slides, a debate, a trombone solo and singing. Morning watches were held on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, were held on Tuesday afternoon Special Home Economics sessions and Wednesday morning. Demonstrations were held on Monday and Tuesday. We saw three of the girls’ demonstrations giveu at the Home Economics Building. The title of the first one was. “Why Not Can Chicken?”; the second one was entitled “Table Etiquette”; and the third one was “The proper Way to Bathe and Dress a Baby.” These were all very educational. We also saw some of the boys’

WHITEWASH MAY RE USED WIDELY Manufacture And Use Os Whitewash Told By Fann Engineer Improved appearance and protection from weathering are important benefits from whitewashing farm buildings, says G. E. Martin, University of Tennessee extension agricultural engineer. Whitewash is especially useful for the interior of barns or other outbuildings as it aids in giving better light and has certain disinfectant qualities as well, he states. The best results with whitewash are obtained when it is applied in clear, dry weather on a surface which has been well cleaned and dampened so that the fresh wash will dry gradually. <lf whitewash is applied to a bone-dry surface it will ' usually chalk and rub off easily. Several formulas for making whitewash are given in the circular, one for general farm use being as follows: Dissolve 15 pounds of common salt in 7 or 8 gallons of water. To this solution add 50 pounds (one sack) of hydrated lime or the putty made by carefully slaking 38 pounds (one-half bushel) ot fresh quicklime. Mix thoroughly until a thick paste is formed and strain through a fine screen before using. Tliin to desired consistency with fresh water. An ounce of alum added to a gallon of common whitewash will prevent its rubbing off. A pound bar of soap dissolved in a gallon of hot water and added to about five gallons of common whitewash will give it a nice gloss. I demonstrations which were held at ■ the dairy pavilion. We saw one demonstration "Producing Clean Milk” and the other one by our boys “The Proper Way of Sterilizing and Caring for Dairy Utensils.” We also saw one on “Making aiHog Feeder.” I enjoyed these very much because they gave me an idea of the work of boys in 4-H Club. We made 'several tours of the campus. We also saw the green house and we attended open house held at the Women’s Residence Hall on Monday afternoon. On Tuesday evening we saw the show, “Kidnaped.” a (book, written by Robert Louis Stevenson.

On Tuesday evening partits were! held for the delegates at the Mem-, orial Gymnasium where games were . played and at the ball room in the I Union Building where a dance was; held. On Wednesday afternoon the a-1 wards were presented at the field house. A half hour musical program was furnished by the Delaware County 4-H Clulb orchestra. The orchestra was composed of 75 Delaware County 4-H club members. After this Dr. Smith presented the awards to the highest ranking in the Home Economics demonstration, also in the agricultural demonstration, to the health champions, to the I corn judging winner, to the winners ; of trips to the club congress at Chicago, to the winners in the clothing judging contest, and winners in the sgg and poultry juding contest, and several other awards were made. I 1 thank all who have made it pos- , sible for me to make this trip. It is difficult for me to explain how much I enjoyed It. I will admit that I worked hard for three years, but I think that this trip and other a wards have repaid me many more times what it cost me. The RoundUp is not merely an entertainment; it is primarily educational, but is so arranged that the visitors get in- 1 structions without realizing it. A-| gain I want to thank all who have made it possible tor me to take this trip. St. John's The St. John’s 441' Club held their regular meeting Wednesday. June 22, at the St. John’s school. The next meeting will be held on July 6 at the school. A report was given by Hilda Buitemeier on the 4-H RounJ-up and Irene Bultemeier gave a talk on “Caring for 'Silk Hose.” Gertrude Aumann gave a demon-1 stration on “Making a Bound But- ( tonhole and Irene Bultemeier dem-i onstrated “One W’ay of Preparing Oranges.” Happy Hoosiers The Happy Hoosiers Boys 4-H Club met at the Kirkland high school on June 20. There were twen-tv-one members present. The mem-! hers discussed sugar beet culture.; Glen Griffiths gave a talk on sugar |
