performance can not be made tin-' less the machine is running. In adjusting a combine that haa been harvesting wheat or oats, operators will find that the cylinder speed must be slowed down and the fan speeded up. The racks and . sieves are run at about the same ‘ speed as for wheat and oats. CHANGES SEEN IN HOG PRICES Increased Production Indicate Decline In Purchasing Power It appears that farmers can look forward to violent fluctuations in the price of both corn and bogs. The hog cycle has reached a stage ! when increased hog production has taken place in two successive years. Some decline in purchasing power of hogs in 1939 may be expected. The most important single sac- 1 tor in appraising the outlook for corn and hogs is the general price I level. The most reasonable expectation is for some additional rise in I the general price level. Government monetary policy and the success or failure of the recovery measures will likely determine whether or not price increase will moderate. The size of the corn crop and I the hog cycle are the principal factors that explain the nature and extent of fluctuation in corn and 1 hog prices' away from the general ■ price level. Following the low point reached in 1933, the general level of prices in the United States increased from 87 to 127 in 1937. During 1938 the general price level dropped about 10 points and averaged 117 per cent of the 1910-14 average for I the first six months. The price of most staple farm | products tends to fluctuate around the general price, level. Based on past history it is expected that the price ot noth coin «*ud hogs will continue to fluctuate around the general price level. o | Uncle Jim Says | I* Lwlsßgj “Since I have improved my pasture, the cost of barn feed per hundred pounds of milk has dropped to about half of what it once was.’’ 500 Sheets SVixll, 20-lb., White Automatic Mimeograph Bond, nealy wrapped $1.05.

CORN EXPORTING IS INCREASING 130.000,00(1 Bushels Os Corn Shipped Out During Year The second largest corn export movement since 1900 was completed on September 30 when an estimated 130 million bushels of United States corn were sold on forI eign markets during the current marketing year, according to L. M. Vogler, chairman of the IndI iana Agricultural Conservation Committee, with headquarters at Purdue University. Such a movement of domestically produced corn into foreign markets has not taken place since 1922. when total United States production amounted to nearly 3 billion bushels. Vogler pointed out. In only seven years in the entire history of the country have I corn exports been greater than during the year just closing. Imports Dwindle At the same time corn imports i have dwindled away practically to the vanishing point. Total imports of corn for the first 7 months of 1938 amounted to only 281,974 bushels, or about three-tenths of one per cent of the United States exI ports during that same period. | j Following is a monthly summary iof corn imports and exports for the first 7 months of 1938: imports Exports (bushels) (bushels--1 January 39.286 13.254.284 February 40.254 16.250,248 March 54,432 9,006,818 April 54,892 20.248,250 May 38.083 25,408.688 j ulle 41.098 13,342,985 j uly 13,929 15,631.190 'TOTAL 281.974 113.142,463: “This increase in exports and ; decrease in imports also results; from the more normal crops which have been produced during the' last two .years.” declared Vogler, I "and follows the prediction made; two years ago by Secretary W allace when considerable com was being imported into this country. "The larger imports which entered this country in 1936 were caused by the high prices which j accompanied the drought-reduced crops for that period At that time I the Secretary of Agriculture fore , cast practically a complete disap ; pearance of these imports upon the production of more normal crops. That time has arrived, said Vogler, and exports of corn have soared to near-record peaks.' — ■ -o FEEDING NEEDS ARE EXPLAINED Horses Require Less feed When Idle, Hogs Less On Pasture , Urbana. Ul., Oct. 7— To weigh I 225 pounds next summer, each pig • farrowed on Illinois farms this fall II will consume about 16 bushels of corn, three bushels of oats, 9o pounds of protein concentrates and 40 pounds of alfalfa hay. These figures arc based on approximate feed requirements for livestock under reasonably good management and care prepared by the department ot agricultural economies. College of Agriculture, University of Illinois, from farm account records and records of feeding experiments. Feed requirements of horses, all classes of beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry are printed in tabular form ou a single sheet that may be obtained by writing the College, ot Agriculture at Urbana. Spring and summer pigs to weigh 225 pounds require 15 bushels ot corn, two bushels ot oats, 70 pounds ot protein concentrates, four pounds of alfalfa and 1-12 of an acre of pasture. Poultry Feeds One hundred hens in one year need 64 bushels of corn, 56 bushels of oats, 32 bushels ot wheat and B<m pounds of protein concentrates. From the time they are hatched until they are ready tor the Thanksgiving dinner table, turkeys, 100 ot them require 25 bushels of corn, 28 bushels of oats, 13 bushels of wheat. 1.000 pounds of | protein concentrate and 400 pounds j of alfalfa meal.

New York. N. Y., Oct. 7— Breaking the world record for all | breeds tor butterfat yield in an official 305-day test. Sybil Tessie, Lorna, 6-year-old Jersey cow bred ; and owned in the herd of L. A. Ilul-1 hurt, Independence, Oregon, has ; pounds butterfat, 17,121 pounds ' just finished a record of 1,020.52 milk. Her own body weight is approximately 1,000 pounds. The previous high 305-day butterfat productiou record, all breeds, 995.9 pounds butte.rfat, was made by the Holstein-Friesian cow Aaltje Salo Hengerveld Segis. In the Jersey breed Sybil Tessie Lorna's record ' supplants the 305-day yield of 926-1 .55 pounds butterfat made by The j Lion's Lilac. 1

year, each horse needs 20 bushels I of coni, 35 bushels of oats, ton i ' of hay, one ton of other roughage I and 160 days of pasture. The horse | al medium work needs one pound - of grain and one pound of hay a ; day for each 100 pounds of weight., For heavy work the grain should , be increased to 1U pounds and re-1 duced at least one-half on idle | . days. Requirements tor beef and dairy I cattle and sheep are given in greater detail on the mimeographi ed sheet of feeding requirements. I ; o HORSE sWse A light heart makes light work; a heavy heart, heavy work. Many woods are like gardens; which have never been weeded.' Fall and winter months are flic best for woods improvement work. The fall is as good a time as any for laying new tile lines, allowing . the winter for them to “get set” : for service in the crop season. Do not wait until you are drowned! out. “Make 'ditch' while the sun J shines.” Vitamin C in apples, according to Purdue University specialists, is six times as great in the peel as ! in the core. Altbought bacteria are minute in ; size, they have large surface in | proportion to their volume. If a mass of bacteria were as large as ■ a man it would have an area for ' food absorption of more than 130 acres, while man's is approximate--100 square feet. Shrinkage and feed costs on hogs trucked 20 to 100 miles to market are the lowest on hogs loaded at the farm in the early morning without feeding, trucked to arrive at market not later than 7 o'clock and fed at the market. | Sales of poultry mashes led all j other classes of commercial feeds in 1937 with an estimated 136,344 tons. It pays to cull pullets carefully when they are housed. Further information on auy of the foregoing topics may bo obtain cd by writing to the Department of Agricultural Extension.

[ Fish and game department officials at August believe that the "animal must have escaped from some car-1 nival traveling in the state, beI cause no such creature exists in !

Sybil Tessie Lorna is the first ! cow of any breed to complete a 305-day official record of more than 1,000 pounds of butterfat and now l holds three world records for pro- ' duction having previously set Jersey world records for senior 1-year- * olds, butterfat and milk yield, 305day tests, by producing 865.07 pounds butterfat, 15,357 pounds milk. This record made her one of three cows to win the American Jersey Cattle Club Medal of Merit and Silver Medal under 3 years of age. She is expected to meet calving requirements for the test just ended, again qualifying for the , I Medal of Merit ami winning the i j American Jersey Cattle Club Presl ident's Cup for 1938.

ANNUAL COURSE WILL BE GIVEN — Eight Week Agricultural School Is Sponsored By Purdue U. Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 7 — The I ' "chance of a lifetime” is now a-1 vailable to all Indiana farm boys. who are IS years old or older and who wish to obtain some University training in farming at the ' lowest possible cost.

{MOWING HELPS MAINTAIN LAWN Deadline Nears For Bianting Many Kinds Os Bulbs Continual "hiowing of the lawns as long as the grass continues to grow is advised by T. D. Gray, Extension landscape architect, College of Agriculture, West Virginia University, in his monthly letter to gardeners and garden clubs concerning activities in the flower and vegetable gardens during October. Mr. Gray advises setting the lawn mower high, about 114 to 3 inches. Regarding mulches, Mr. Gray says a half inch of peat moss worked in around the roots of grass makes a good winter mulch. Wellrotted cow manure may be added : to shrubs and trees any time. It should lie left as a mulch. Narcissi, squill, scilla, grape hyacinths and other bulbs which were not planted in September should be planted at once. Gardeners wish to pot and bring them indoors should select the annuals they because Jack Frost will play havoc in the garden before long October also is a good month to work over the perennial border. Liberal amounts of well-rotted cow manure should be added while spading and 1 making changes. Should Store Glads Gladiolas should be dug and allowed to dry in shallow containers, Mr. Gray states. One ounce of napthaiene flakes for 100 bulbs in a ; paper bag will eliminate much | trouble with thrips. The bulbs | i should be removed from the bags i '• after six weeks and stored in a ' i cool cellar where the temperature, i however, is above freezing. Dahlias ' should be dug and allowed to dry. j ■ They should be stored in dry peat : I moss or sawdust in a cool cellar. Wherever vegetable crops are ] removed and the soil left bare, rye ■ should be sowed at the rate of 4 ■ to 6 pecks per acVe. It is too late I to sow vetch, Mr. Gray warns. As ■the weather gets colder, carrots j should be covered with a light cov- i eriug of straw. They can be dug whenever needed. Rhubarb and asparagus should be mulched with 2 inches of cow manure. Q COURT HOUSE Estate Cases The suggestion of the minority of Edgar Wente, Louise Wente and' Norman Wente was filed in the estate of Christ Wente. John L. DeVoss was appointed guardian ad li•em. A petition to sell real estate wife submitted. Additional bond was filed. The petition to sell read estate was sustained and the real estate was ordered sold at private, sale.
