i fifths ot this amount, or 685 million I buehels. Average consumption for •be past 10 years includes 85 mH- 1 Hon bushels used for seed, 100 milI non bushels for feed on the farms of growers and 500 million bushels tor the manufacture of flour and j commercial feeds. Less Acres Needed With average yields considerably fewer acres will be needed for hat- • vest in 1939 than have been seeded on the average during the past 10| years. The AAA 1939 wheat acreage allotment is 55 million acres. With a yield of 13 bushels a ceeded acre, which is about the average in non j drouth years, such an acreage , would produce 715 million bushels. • ( somewhat more than normal con- . sumption. ; , Relative to the effect of corn supplies on wheat prices, it is explain- , t d that when corn is scarce and high in price, more wheat is in de- , mand for feed. However, at the pre- , tent time corn is abundant, and the 1 price is less than half of what it ( . 1 was a year ago. This fact is given 'as an important reason for the ( ■ lower price of wheat this year. Although about as much bread is , I consumed during a business depres- ( •I bion, prices for flour and mill feeds ( are lower as a result of the slackeni ing in business activity. For hund- ] reds of years the price of wheat has I fluctuated with changes in the ■ oral price level. Anything which in-,. fluences the general level of prices - ] I naturally influences the price otj. wheat . Abundance Noted In explaining their final point, ; Norton and Simerl stated that the ■ price of wheat at harvest tuns last , year did not accurately reflect the | > abundance of wheat at that time. ; | Since that time the grain trade has i become aware of the change from a , | period of scarcity to one of wheat I abundance. I i “The present wheat situation Isl , much like that in 1932.” Norton , said. “In both years large surpluses , and low prices have ■prevailed.

FARMERS URGED TO BENEFIT BY OFFER OF LIME Central Sugar Company’s Free Lime Benefits Community Much of the improvement in the lands of this area in recent years has been due to the large quantities ot lime given away by the Central Sugar company, agricultural leaders have reported. The company, which for the next several days will continue to give away lime and load it on trucks and wagons free of charge, has made this a practice in order to improve not only the beet land but all agriculture in the community. The effects are now being observed a* it requires some time for the benefit to be seen. The usual practice is to apply the lime to fields where legumes such as alfalfa or soy beans are to be grown. The legumes flourish better in non-acid soils than soils turned acid by excess cropping. The lime not only turns the soil to the alka-1 line side, but by a chemical process | makes both the applied fertilizer and the natural eoll foods more available. The legumes through the bacteria in the nodules of the root system “fix” free nitrogen from the air in the soil. Nitrogen is one of the most expensive of the fertilizers and one of the most necessary. The land which has large quan-i titles of nitrogen in it will produce 3 larger and better corn, beet and other crops. It has been (pointed out that only nitrogen obtained through natural ways has any decided benefit on corn and many other crops. A greater use ot the free lime for these reasons is being used .Nearly every farm in this county can use some lime profitably ou it. Free eoil I tests to determine if lime is necessary and if so how much may be obtained at the county agent's office I or from Purdue university* foreign demand improved. Likewise, wheat prices may be expected to advance if and when the surplus is reduced or domestic and foreign demand improved.” More Foreign Wheat OuUtide the United States the I carryover is not much changed from last year, but the new crop Is expected to be about 275 million bushi els larger than last year, owing I chiefly to the larger crop expected i-1 Canada. The 1938-39 world <production is expected to be about I 1.200 million bushels, which would be the largest production in history. Addjng the world carryover of 650 I million bushels gives total supplies of 4,850 million bushels. This Is but little below the record supplies of 5,013 million bushels which weighed so heavily upon the markets in 1932-33. With more liberal supplies of wheat in this country, evports of wheat on a considerable scale occurred during the past year. Trade reports indicate that exports are being made currently at a rather i high level. After new crop Canadian wheat becomes available, however, United States wheat will meet increasing competition.

a faun han? Let us tell you about the /Etna Life Insurance Company’s new Farm Loan Plan. Low rates, a 26 year repayment plan, a Reserve Fund Safety feature, a liberal pre-pay ment privilege, no commission, appraisal, or title examination costs to the borrower. It’s worth investigating.

Find Tomatoes Are Only Pods i From Potatoes A communication from the Ohio state agricultural experiment station answers a question, which was raised here recently about the peculiar growths observed on many potato vines in this community. The growths appear much the same as small tomatoes and led some to believe that a cross had been obtained between a potato and a tomato vine. The report from the Ohio experiment station is: Potato seed balls, which look like small green tomatoes, are more common than usual in Ohio this year. Usually the buds or flowers on potatoes fall off without developing into seed balls. Only when the weather is cool during the longest days of June do the se< d balls set. in the cooler north where the days are longer seed is | produced regularly every year. Farther south seed balls are so rare that when they are found some people conclude that they have discovered a potato that also produces tomatoes. The Ohio experiment station has received several inquiries from home gardeners asking how to grow . I potatoes next year from this seed. I I This is not a commercial practice. I partly because the plants are n~t ' like the parent plant. It is the method used by potato breed.'* to I get new varieties. The seed can I easily be saved by harvesting the i seed ball’ after the plants die and then squeezing out the seeds onto a paper to dry. The next spring they are planted about the same as ' tomatoes; the seed is sown about I March 1 and the young plants are I set outside in the garden about , I May 1. Plant breeders agree that as a general rule the crop grown from seed is not as good as that produced in the usual way. o HOG PRICES TO DECLINE LESS — Fall Swine Sales Expected To Drop Less Than Last Year Urbana, 111., Aug. 12—Seasonal decline in hog prices from late summer to early winter will probably be less than the sharp drop which occurred in that period last vear, it is believed by L. J. Norton, chief In agricultural marketing. College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Norton bases his conclusions on Indications ot an upturn in business conditions wliich will canse demand for pork this fall and winter to be more stable than last year when the period of heavy hog marketing coincided with a sharp decline in business activity and in demands for pork. Supplies of hogs for market in the marketing year beginning next October will be materially larger than those of the present marketing year, it is stated in the summer outlook report of the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. The effect of these larger supplies in lowering hog prices for the year as a whole will be offset, at least in part, by probable improvement In the consumer demand for meats. The spring pig crop was 13 per cent larger than that of last year, and 9 per cent more sows are indicated to farrow this fall than last. This reflects abundant feed supplies and relatively low prices for grain. Slaughter supplies of hogs during the remainder of the present marketing year, up to October 1. will be larger than those of a year earlier, but this increase will be offset by the reduction in storage stocks of pork aAd lard. — _o

INSURANCE TO BE AVAILABLE Al! Farmers May Qualify In Wheat Program, Eneichen Says Every Adams county wheat grower is eligible to protect his 1939 crop against damages by nature under the government’s wheat crop insurance plan, authorized by the 1938 Agricultural Adjustment Act, says Harve S. Ineichen, County | Crop Insurance Supervisor. Work has already started in the ' county to acquaint farmers with the insurance plan and to offer I them the opportunity of guaran-| teeing their 1939 crop against eith era 50 or a 75 per cent loss, t’ne 1 option to be chosen by the appli-. cant. All farmers who have had 10 acres or more of wheat during the , last three years are being contracted by township representatives. Farmers who have had little loss in past years cannot afford to stay ! out of the insurance plan became their rate of premium will be very i low, states Mr. Ineichen. On the [ other hand farmers who have suf sered heavy losses for many years l certainly will find it profitable to I insure against these losses. The rate is determined by aver aging the county rate with the i calculated farm rate, the county rate being based on losses covering a 10 year period and the farm rate on a six year period. The payment of premiums may be made in either wheat or money. All resources of the insurance corporation are carried in wheat. The administrative cost of the insurance is i>aid by the government and is not a burden on the insurance' rates. The insurance plan is a part of the Ever-Normal Granary plan. The wheat loan plan more or less insures certain prices for wheat, while crop insurance • a 1 certain amount to be marketed, all of this to have a stabilizing influ- | ence on the wheat price and supply. 0 ACTIVITIES OF * ADAMS COUNTY 4-H CLUBS ♦ ♦ (By Vera Beihold) In 1937 a 4-H club ship was chartered at Monmouth. This is the history of the voyage made in 1938. The Merry Maids again continued to row the boat out further in the sea of success. We had as our captains. Mrs. Edward De Bolt and Mrs. Vernon Custer. Our crew was composed of Gloria ■ Spangler, Norma Lou Sheets, Alice Owens, Margaret Moses. Patricia Kitson, Mary Mahan, Donna Grandstaff, Bernadine DeLong. Lupe Carrol, Helena Briston, Eleanor Strahm, Betty Sims, Avonnelle, Imogene and Vera Beihold. We choose as our president Margaret Moses: vice president Vera Beihold, secretary and treasurer, Avonelle Beihold, press reporter, Bernadine DeLong, song and yell leader, Imogene Beihold, monitor, Helena Bristol and recreational in a hot humid atmosphere and these conditions are found in a poorly washed and inadequately dried milk utensil. August is a critical period for young windbreak plantings. If the plantation has not been mulched, continue with shallow cultivation. If cultivation has been neglected, do not resume it during hot, dry weather. How deep is your farm? If your drainage is poor, it may be only two feet deep. Lower the water table to four feet and you’ve doubled your farm —in volume, if not in area. The sub-soil contains valuable plant food which perhaps you have not been using. Screen the space between the roosts and dropping boards to prevent the hens from getting at the droppings. Application of a good commercial legume inoculation gives better results than the use of soil. Always 1 moisten the seed before inoculatI ing it. —hs — Damp sand makes good bedding I for hog trucks in summer.

leader, Vera Beihold. Sewing was our chief project, a few o< the girls took preparation and one enrolled in the calf club. As we rowed along, three of the young beginners, Eleanor Strahm. Helena Bristol and Betty Sims got seasick and fell overboard. This didn’t hurt our club percentage as they didn’t start their wortt. Vera and AvoneTle ißtelhold were selected to give the County 4-*H demonstration. They choose as their subject ’’How to pack a suitcase correctly" Their boat didn't row as far as they wanted it to but were glad to get second placing. Vera Beihold was chosen as Judge for sewing and Avonelle Beihold | for canning. They must have rowed | in a whirlpool for thay didn’t even ' get second. This didn't worry them because ' they learned a lot in judging and have hopes of doing better in ’39. The crew had many enjoyabe days to-gether, but were saddened ! when one of their captains, Mrs. Vernon Custer became ill and an operation was necessary. The crew brightened up when their captain found the channel that leads to I recovery. When our journey ended we found thdt all of our crew had rowed very ,hard. Those who rowed successfully to their goal were, Imogene Beihold who won Ist in Food Preparation 1, Bernadine DeLong who received 3rd in the dress revue in clothing; Avonelle Beihold, who won 3rd in clothing 5 and will be awarded a two weeks trip at the State Fair school for girl*, and she also won 2nd in the dress revpe in clothing 5, Vera Beihold won Ist in clothing 5 and also won Ist in the dress revue in clothing 5 and will represent Adams County In the state dress revue to be held at Indianapolis in i September. On August 9, the crew closed the club work by having a picnic at the Hanna Nutman Park. Part ot the girls spent the afternoon swimming while the rest visited their leader Mrs. Custer, who is convalescing ' nicely from her operation. We are hoping for a larger crew and a more successful year in 1939. o Culling Meetings Planned Tuesday Two poultry culling meetings will be conducted in Adams County , Tuesday, August 16. The first one will be at 9 o'clock at the Joel Kipfer farm in French Township one . I mile north of the Baumgartner hatI chery. The afternoon meeting will be held at 1 o’clock on the Hugo : Boerger farm in Root Township i about three miles north of Decatur. .* William Kohlmeyer of Purdue • will conduct the meetings end he will show the poultrymen how they , may detect the non-layers. Some i of the old hens stop laying at this ; time of the year and the feeding • costs may be reduced by selling the . non-layers. o Wyneken Centennial Service On Sunday Sunday, August 14, the Zion Luth- ’ tran Church, northwest of the city. at Friedhelm, will observe the centennial of the arrival in Indiana of j Pastor F. C. D. Wyneken. Pastor . Wyenken was a pioneer Lutheran I missionary in this section ot the i country. He came to Indiana from ■ the east. After travelling through Ohio on horse-lback, he arrived at the city of Decatur, then a village ' two years old. From there be came i td Friedhelm. From 1838 to 1845 he was pastor ■ of Zion at Friedhelm and also St. ■ Paul’s in Fort Wayne. During this time he also made frequent and extended mission trips through northern Indiana, Ohio aud southern Michigan. Two services will be held Sunday morning, a German service at 9 A. M. C. S. T., and an English service at 10.16 A. M. C. S. T. The . Rev. A. H. Werfelmann ot Chicago i 111., a relative ot Missionary Wyneken, will preach in both services. o ———— Crop Supervisor Makes Statement Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 12 — (U.R> I — Indiana farmers may have “at . least 50 or 75 per cent of an averi age crop to sell in 1938" by applying before Aug. 31 for wheat crop insurance policies under the new federal farm program, Charles ; Gregory, state crop insurance supervisor, said today. Aug. 31 was set as the new deadt line for receipt of crop insurance ■ applications in county AAA offices. ■ The previous deadline was Aug. , 15, but was set back because of . “generally late harvests.”

CHEAP RATION INCLUDES OATS Low Price Crops Are Fed Economically To Spring Pigs Urbana, II)., Aug. 12 — Demonstarting away to utilize the season’s cheap oats, R. H. Bruninga. a Peoria countv. Illinois, farmer, has his spring pigs' eating a bushel of whole oats to two bushels of tar corn, according to E. T. Robbins, livestock extension specialist, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Whole oats can be fed cheaply, but hogs will eat more If they are ground, he explained. Bruninga’s 118 pigs all raised by 17 sows averaging seven pigs a litter, are medium-type hogs raised with 100 per cent sfine sanitation. The pigs are now in a clover field where they are fed all the corn they will eat each day The corn is fed from a wagon, and the oats and tankage are in self-feed-ers.
