ed out that while good underdraini.ge ia important to the farmer at all times, ft will be especially needed during the wet years ahead. Meteorological experts have stated that, judging from past experience the country as a whole may now expect about a dozen years on the wet side of the moisture balance. This they conclude from the facts I that a longer excessively wet perI iod, 1895 to 1910, followed the rellative short drouth period from 1880 : to 1895 and that the period from , 1914 to 1980 was preponderantly wet following the few dry years from 1910 to about 1914. It is roasi onable to believe, experts ttifhk, : that having just completed a drouth period. 1930 to 1936, we are now I well along into a wet period which may last for a decade more. This being the case, from an outlook standpoint, the sooner the farmer underdrains his wet land, the more benefit he will reap. Much loss was occasioned to the farm crops throughout the state durin'g the past season by a lack of drainage. If the farmer plans to correct poor drainage facilities, as he undoubtedly should, he will realiie more returns upon his investment by doing the job before another crop season comes along. Another point was made by Mr. Harker was that the very best time of year to install new drain tile is in the fall for two reasons: first, there is then ho danger of postponing the installation until it holds up spring plowing and planting; and second, fall installation gives the drainage system a winter and spring during which freezing and thawing help the trenches to properly settle and the soil to properly granulate and drain. Most any firmer with drainage experience is a witness to the fact that tile drains serve more completely after having gone through a winter and spring.

ECONOMIC SKY IS BRIGHTER Genera! Price Indices For Indiana Farms Are Increasing Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 14 — The ’ economic sky appeared a bit brighter during September than during August for Indiana farmers with the general price index for 17 prill- ’ cipal Indiana farm products reaching 99.9, which is 3.4 points higher than August's index, based on 191014 equalling 100. according to a joint report of farm management and agricultural statistics departments of Purdue University, issued today. Generally the September prices of Indiana farm crops were higher than during August except corn, which held its own, and apples and potatoes, which were 15 and 10 cents a Tmshel lower respectively. Only lambs, horses, and wool reg- i istered lower prices among the ' livestock products, the rest being higher in price. With the exception of last July prices, the general farm price in- I tember than it had been since last dr x in Indiana was higher in SepMarch. when it was 104.4. Along with the rise in farm prices was a jump of three points In the purchasing power of Indiana farm products from 79 in August to 82 in September. At the same time the U. S. wholesale price index remained unchanged at 114. Also it was pointed out that the Indiana farm ■ purchasing power was four points chasing power, showing the relahigher than the national farm pur-, lively good position of Indiana' I farmers in the national picture, i Among the increases in Indiana farm commodity prices in Septem-. ber over August were: 80 cents a, hundredweight on calves, 40 cents a hundredweight on hogs, and 5.2 ■ cents a dozen on eggs.

When properly fed and managed, calves | dropped at this season make very satisfactory and economical gains, I say Purdue University dairy specialists. Rats, refuse, and rubbish are, to an extent, synonymous. More than 24 Indiana counties now have portable seed cleaners and treaters, which may be used in connection with wheat, oats, soybeans, etc. These machines are equipped to remove cockle anti “cheat” in wheat as well as weed seeds In other crops. A higit body temperature of 104 to 105 degrees, usually a tew’ days before hogs go off feed, is the earliest sympton of hog cholera.

J o NEW BREEDING METHOD GIVEN Artificial Insemination Spreads Benefits Os Good Sires The influence of a good dairy sire is spread ten to twenty times more rapidly by artificial insemination than by ordinary breeding methods, says C. A. Hutton, University of Tennessee extension dairyman. The new breeding method has been used successfully for several years in European countries, notably in Denmark and Russia. In Russia, for instance, over four and a quarter million head of livestock were bred artificially in 1935. In recent years this method of breeding has been practiced in several localities in the United States. Results secured in getting cows with calf are as good, or better, than with the ordinary methods of breeding, Mr. Hutton says. A group of New Jersey dairymen, operating under the direction of the state extension dairyman, is successfully breeding |over UOO’t cows, using two extra-good proved sires. A competent man is hired to care for the two bulls and to inseminate the cows.

Such a plan Mr. Hutton points out, not only spreads the influence of a good, proved sire, but reduces the cost of service, eliminates the need of keeping and feeding a bull oii each farm, quickly establishes a large family of high producing cows, and practically eliminates the danger of spreading diseases through service. There are many proved bulls each of which could sire a thousand or more calves a year through this new method instead of possibly 25 to 50 by the old method. Dairymen desiring further information should write the Dairy Office, U-T agricultural extension service, Knoxville, Tennessee. o I Uncle Jim Satis"] ”1 always get a lot of satisfaction out of plowing under a good crop of sweet clover, because I know that I am adding the equivalent of about 530 pounds of nitrate of soda and about 3,000 pounds of good organic matter to each acre of soil.” o__ 0 __ Dance Sunday Sunsei.

LEGUME DEEMED IMPORTANTFEED Dairymen Should Consider Costs, Quality Os Various Rations As the pasture season draws to a close and the winter feeding period approaches, dairymen should decide what their winter feeding program will be. Before deciding, | one should take into account the supply of home grown feeds available, the market prices of rough- . ages and concentrates, including protein supplements and the relationship between the value of feeds and the selling price of the product. Legume hay of good quality is the most important part of the dairy ration. When a cow is fed all the hay she will consume, her production will approximate 70 per cent of what she would produce if she were fed hay and one pound of grain for each three to four pounds of milk. On September Ist, the estimate of Indiana’s tame hay , crop whs 33 per cent more than last year and 49 per cent greater ‘ than the 1937-86 average. There is no doubt that with this supply aI vailable many dairy herds will re- ' celve more than their customary I daily allowance this winter. i , Cost accounting records show) . that feed makes up at least 50 per cent of the total cost of producing . milk and butterfat. The feed bill must be divided between roughag- ; es. including pasture, hay and on I some fars. silage or fodder, and ‘ last but not least, concentrates. Data collected from Indiana Dairy . Herd Improvement Associations for several years, show that grain , costs usually amount to as much as all other parts of the yearly ration combined. In other words, for each one dollar collected from ' the sale of milk, twenty five cents . must be dropped into the grain i I bin. Data published by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, covering the period from January, 1910, to July, 1938, show that the number . of pounds of grain one pound of butterfat would buy. using monthlyaverage prices, varied from 57 pounds in December, 1937, to 12.6 pounds for the month of July, 1917. Tito grain mixture used In the comparison consisted of corn, oats, barley and cottonseed. One pound of butterfat would purchase 27.5 pounds of this mixture during July. Using the relationship between ' feed and product as indicated awishing to secure profitable production should not feed more than six to seven pounds of grain for each pound of butterfat, while these i prices exist. Expressed in terms of | milk the rate would be about l’,» . pounds of grain for each gallon of milk produced daily. Unfortunately, far too few dairymen keep individual records on each cow in the herd. Frequently, every cow receives the same allowance of grain regardless of production. Only waste can result from such a system of feeding. Production costs are high or the milk flow is reduced. Perhaps both. I Feed and production records will save the day. | Any dairyman who wishes to [ solve the feeding problem and | place his herd on a “pay-as-go” basis this winter, should weigh the milk at least once each month from I each cow. Feed her according to what she produces. Gives her a chance to make good. If she tails,

sell her. An empty stanchion eats no hay and produces no surplus milk. A low producer does both and besides she must be milked. 0 YOUTH GROUPS MEET OCT. 17 Quarterly Meeting To Be Held At Van Buren Monday Final quarterly meeting of the year for the rural youth organizations of district four will he held at the Van Buren high school gymnasium.

HOG PRODUCTION IS INCREASING Sheep, Lamb Crop Largest On Record; Wool Is Firmer A considerable increase In United States hog production ia In prospect under the influence of abundant supplies of relatively low cost feeds, according to the annual live stock outlook report just issued by the OSC extension service. The pig crop of 1938 will total about 12 per cent greater than the comparatively small crop of 1937. As a result, the supply of pork will be larger during the 1938-39 marketing season and beyond. This increase in supply will be offset to some degree by stronger consumer demand and purchasing power, it economic conditions continue to improve, the report adds. Regarding the sheep and lamb situation, the outlook report shows that the 1938 lamb crop was the largest on record in the United States, being 5 per ceut greater than in 1937. Although the number of breeding next tfanunry may be slightly larger than last, this does not necessarily mean a larger lamb crop in 1939, the report continues. The record lamb crop this year was caused largely by an unusually high percentage
