Or UPOII Ollier goveiuuivum uivaoures. Demand for wheat from the united States will depend not only upon the general level of demand In foreign countries, but also on supplies of wheat and to a lesser extent production of other food stuffs abroad. It is still too early to arrive at any accurate judgment us to the size of the 1938 wheat crop of foreign countries. Present prospects indicate that the European crop, excluding Russia, will be little different from 1937. Since wheat stocks In foreign countries are smaller than a year ago, it seems probable that then may be a better export demand for U. S. wheat than in the past year. — o CAMPING SITES ARE ARRANGED - State Fair To Provide Additional Facilities This Year E. Curtis White, President of the Indiana Board of Agriculture, states that he is mighty proud ot the way the people of Indiana have enjoyed the camp grounds that have been fixed up for the campers of Indiana during the week of the State Fair. He states that there has been fourteen new ,electric light poles put up and there will be plenty of light plugs put in for all campers. Water has been run all through the grounds in handy places. The ground has been leveled off until now it covers about ten acres of fine level ground on which last year, although not yet completed, over 1140 campers enjoyed their stay. This camp ground is free to those who bring their equipment but there will be tents erected at a nominal fee per night per person for those who do not bring their bedding and other conveniences. Last year there were many turned away on account of room.

MAY INCREASE YIELD OF SEED Clover Seed Is Threatenend By Largest Weed Crop In Years Urbana, 111., July 15 — Farmers may Increase their 1939 yield of clover seed by about 25 per cent , by clipping their clover fields to control weeds this fall, according to J. C. Hacklemann, crops extensi<m specialist. College of Agrlcul- ! ture. University of Illinois. "Experience at the agricultural , college indicates that a fall clipping of clover to control weeds increases the yield of hay the following year by about 20 per cent and the seed production the following year by about 25 per cent,” he said. “Where the clover was started in small grain this spring, a farmer can not afford to overlook clipping his new legume seedings the latter part of August or the first of September. “However, new seedings of legumes are not the only fields that need clipping," Hackleinan continued. “In many pastures, particularly those that have been thinned out by heavy pasturing and severe drouths in 1934 and 1986. there is one of the worst weed infestations j in recent history. The same con- . dition exists throughout all mid- 1 w’estern states. “Although the problem is ser-1 ious. many weeds such as rag-weed, white top. oxeye daisy, dock, plantain, dog fennel, golden rod, iron weed, fox tail, bull thistle and others that mature their seeds in late summer and early fall can be controlled if they are clipped back. In some cases it may be necessary to i clip more than once to keep the | weeds from going to seed. “If the mower can be run 4 to 6 inches high and still prevent the weeds from seeding it is better for the grasses and legumes. ’ • o ’ HOHSE \ *■ * rrJ SWSE Herbs are as “old as the hills" and are ot value as flavoring in high class cookery. Many of them also have medicinal value, yet, it is hard to find many herbs in our Hoosier gardens today. When using Sudan grass for pasture wait until it gets about knee high before turning in the animals. Even larger second growth than this is palatable and will carry more stock or furnish grazing for a longer period than if pastured too soon. Green willow windbreaks on muck should be cultivated throughout the summer, say Purdue University specialists. Tight packing has caused many a tear over spoiled corn, peas, lima beans, and greens. Dysentery of swine may be brought to your farm by buying hogs from an infected source. Did you know that manure contains relatively larger amounts of nitrogen than of phosphoric acid and potash. Cutting patches ot Canada thistle before they nature will not only prevent seeds from scattering but may save you the embarassment of having the township trustee notify you to do so. if your dairy calves are to be dehorned, do it the first two weeks with caustic potash or "stick" Be careful not to allow the materials to get Into the animals' eyes. In planning livestock operations, consider probable prices when the livestock will be marketed instead of present prices, as present and immediate past prices are often a poor guide to the future.

The Living Soil ... ITS MODERN CARE

By CHARLES H. BALT Director, The Living Soil Institute The supreme desire of the average gardener is to get the most beautiful flowers and appetizing vegetables from the limited area he has planted. With the arrival of mid-summer, the supply of the latter usually takes a definite drop and bare spots appear along the garden row as more of these “treats" are consumed. There Is, however, ample time from July until the end of the season for another crop to be harvested if these areas are reseeded. Undoubtedly many of your early season favorites may be sown now to be gathered in early fall. 0000 ' o o o FIRM SOIL WELL Lettuce, beets, carrots, radishes and the like are the more common of these. Because of environmental differences, seeds are sown differently this late in the season than they were in early spring. Lack

SOME GRAIN IS REQUIRED NOW Producing Dairy Cattle On Pasture Need Good Grain Supplements Urbana. 111., July 15—Good producing dairy cows will require some grain this summer even though they are on good pasture, according to C. S. Rhode, of the dairy department, College of Agriculture, Universit yof Illinois. The general aim of a successful dairyman in feeding cows during summer months is to keep them tn good flesh and to maintain the milk flow at normal levels, he explained. If pastures are luxuriant, cows that are producing small amounts of milk or nearing the end es their lactation period will need no graim.

Indiana Democrats Bury Hatchet A I ' ; - r - " x ? J I W 1 " ! , I — Governor Townsend and Senator Van Nuya Indiana's Democratic leaders bury the hatchet with a handshake as Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, left, congratulates Senator Frederick Van Nuys on his renomination as the party's candidate at the state Democratic convention in Indianapolis. Townsend had read Van , Nuys out es Ute party some time ago for Van Nuys’ opposition to the president's court plan.

'of moisture in the upper soil layers makes it advisable to place the seed at a greater depth. This also explains why the soil must be firmed more solidly (for best germination) in the case of late season seedings. If your soil Is low in humus this may be increased in unplanted areas by starting a cover crop now to be turned into the soil when it is making succulent growth, in the early fall. Suggested crops for this green manuring, as It is called, include rye, soy beans, oats, buckwheat and others. Should you happen to have a quantity of corn seed on hand, this makes a very satisfactory cover crop. Because the viability of this seed would probably be greatly reduced by next spring, using the seed now would represent a saving. Gardeners oftentimes overlook treasures for their soil. Lawn clippings, plant trimmings and, later in the season, fallen leaves are burned or otherwise disposed of. This Is a mistake for this same material, allowed to decompose and then added to the soil, will aid in releasing plant food and Increasing the water holding capacity of the soil particles. The value of humus in your soil can be fully appreciated if you have attempted to grow crops in soil lacking this essential.

1 However, better producing cows | will probably handle one pound ot ' grain for each four to six pounds of milk produced daily. , On good legume pastures a mixi ture of equal parts corn and oats will give good results. The same is ' true for other pastures early in the I ( season. As warmer weather comes i on and many of the pastures be-j ; come less succulent, the addition of , some protein supplement such as soybean meal to the farm grains is, suggested. A mixture of 3 parts ; ground oats, 4 parts ground corn and 1 part soybean oil meal should give satisfactory results, Rhodu' : explained. Hunter Yokes Dogs Tecumseh.

URGES EATING OF VEGETABLES Purdue Expert Says Vegetables Are Among Most Important Food

Vegetables are among the most important foods. They please the appetite and are valuable sources of certain necessary vitamins and minerals, says Aneta Beadle, extension nutritionist of Purdue University. How nourishing a cooked food will be, depends upon the method of cooking, she states. The rule for cooking vegetables to save food value is — "Cook In as short a time as possible, using the least water that is practical.” Since we ordinarily eat foods because they “look", “smell”, and “taste" good, cfher important cooking points concern flavor, texture, and color. Color is probably the trickiest. Four Color Classes Vegetables fall into four color classes — yellow, white, green and red. Yellow vegetables gives the cook little trouble; neither does white. But the "greens” and “reds” need special attention. Cook green vegetables in an uncovered pan. The color pigment in green vegetables is easily affected by cooking when there Is acid present. leaving the lid off the pan allows any vegetable acids that are volatile to go off with the steam. This acid coupled with overlong cooking turns the attractive green color to a sort of dull olive green. For “reds" such as beets, cook in a covered pan. If necessary, add a little dilute acid to the cooking water. The color in these vegetables stays red in acid, but starts to fade in alkaline waters. White vegetables stay white in water that is slightly acid and become yellow or greenish in alkaline water. As to flavor, vegetables are divided into three groups: strong, medium and mild. Cabbage is in the first group. In cooking it you must take care not to develop the flavor by cooking in a closed kettle for a long time. For mild vegetables, use a minimum of w-ater. Cook until just tender. Ry that time the water should be condensed to be just enough to serve with the vegetable. Adding salt brings out the natural flavor of all vegetables? Do not overcook. Vegetables are done when they are tender but not soft and flabby. Serve immediately if you wish the flavor to be at its best.

MORE EGGS NOW ARE POSSIBLE Regularity And Protiens Needed B y Laying Hens During Summer Summer eggs usually sell on a rising market following the low point In spring, says A. E. Tep'per, of the University of New Hampshire’s Poultry department, who suggests that flock owners check on their feeding program to Insure ns many eggs as possible during the summer. Mr. Tepper calls attention to a four-point program for summer feeding offered by H. W. Titus poultry specialist of the U. S. Department of Agrictulture. County agents and the extension service will help to plan economical summer rations based on the feeds available. The recommendations from Titus are general suggestions on methods: One: If the hens have been laying well on the diet they have been getting this spring, do not risk changing the diet now. Continue the same feeding procedure as before. If they have not been laying well, determine the cause and it necessary improve the ration. Two: If the hens have been getting feed at certain hours, continue feeding at these same hours. Three: If the hens are on allmast! diet, give them all that they will clean up. The layers should be kept busy continuously to maintain feed consumption which in turn supports high summer eggs production. Four: Keep up the total protein in the diet. Laying hens need a diet with H 6 to 17 per cent protein in summer. o Baby Escapes In Freak Mishap Corvallis. Ore. (U.R) — Mrs. Don Weaver challenges the world to produce a hardier baby than her own.
