I "Corn not eligible for a loan, on I the other hand, would be worth I only about ST. to 40 cents a bulhel I in northern Illinois on the basis of the current price for December futures in Chicago. Obviously, it might pay to feed 35 to 40 cent corn to cattle, but it probably would not pay to feed 55 to 60 cent corn. Demand Conditions "Demand conditions must always he considered in an appraisal of ! cattle price prospects for they conI tinually intervene to modify and I condition the returns that can othi erwlse be expected. Feeding has generally been profitable during I periods of rapidly increasing de- . mand, which always results from a marked improvement of business I activity. If there should be a conI tinuation of the rise in business I activity it might well mean a good , year for feeding cattle in place of i one of indifference or poor reI turns." z This and future issues of Illinois j Farm Economics may be obtained | by writing the College of Agriculj ture at Urbana. o U S. to Buy Prunes San Jose, Cal. <U.R) — Local prune growers have been notified the Federal government will purchase 50,000 tons of California's surplus dried prune crop for 12.750,000. < o Uncle Jim Says "The way I look at this wheat crop Insurance, which protects i farmers against all unavoidable crop losses, is that it certainly is I fine in case of bad years and in case of good years — who wants J to take the risk anyway!”

MULCHING AIDS TREE DISEASES Rich Soil Produces Trees Which Often Are Easy Victims Mulching apple trees with straw, grass, or other available vegetable matter has become a widely recognized and utilized orchard practice. A moderately heavy mulch assists materially in keeping the soil cool and moist, and helps to some extent in restricting weed and grass growth. Frequently, how-; ever, there appears evidence that J continuous heavy mulching favors , development of certain troubles. 1 Excessive use of mulch material together with generous annual fertilization of the same trees with nitrogenous plant food promotes ; vigorous, rapid growth of new wood, and the succulent shoots thus formed provide favorable conditions for infection by the bacter- | ial disease, fire blight. Moreover, the tender tips and leaves of the new shoots are likely to become infested by rosy or green plant lice, | or both, which are but little, if any, i less destructive in their effects than is fire blight. At the Dale View Trial Grounds, according to F. H. Ballou of the Horticulture Department of the Ohio Experiment Station, only two apple trees out of several hundred | showed serious injury from blight I this summer. These trees (one each of Early Mclntosh and Macoun) have been mulched during each growing season with fine growths of weeds and grasses. In addition these trees have received annual aplications of nitrogen-car-rying fertilizers. Large proportions of the newer shoots and branches of these two trees died. Other apple trees near by of the same age but unmulched except with the grass that grew beneath and near them shower no blight. On a larger scale similar results have been noted for a number of years at the Belmont County Experiment Farm Orchards, w'here double the usual quantity of nitrogenous plant food repeatedly has caused trees to show far more fire blight on rapidly growing twigs and branches and much greater infestation by aphids than trees receiving only normal quantities of nitrogen. HOjffiE * Ytf/W sewsE Successful Indiana farmers like their jobs; they're farmers and are proud of it. j Quick sales at the market are , not always the best ones. Fall and winter months are the best periods for cutting post timb- | ers, say Purdue University forest- j I ers - „ ! Lest we forget — why drainage? , Because farni crops require a deep root zone in which to grow strong 1 roots, a root zone where plenty of, air as well as moisture and plant I food is available. An ivory lamp shade with white i lining ranks high in efficiency and produces a light more agreeable to the eye than that from an all white one. Eliminate diseases from your dairy herd. It pays big dividends. Keep the feet of colts and young horses level. Crooked feet on foals I tend to bend the tender leg bones i out of line. In many cases a little I work every month with pinchers 1 and rasp will prevent crooked legs and add dollars to the value of your colt. A free seed testing service is offered farmers and others by the state seed laboratory. Send seed samples early this fall to avoid delay in getting reports. Send the samples to the State Seed Commission. Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. Drafts may result in colds and other diseases of the lungs of farm animals. Field selected seed com should be stored on racks so that the individual ears do not touch and in a building that is dry and well ’ ventilated. | Further information on any of the foregoing topics may be obtain-I i

W3’’ r ' v ' - ' - ' * I The World’s Poultry Congress is truly an international event. Six 1 such gatherings have been held, and in some cases more than sixty coun- , tries have participated. When the 7th World’s Poultry Congress convenes in Cleveland July 1 28 to August 7, 1939, not only will the nations of Europe and Asia take part but a new group will be seen. Professor and Mrs. James Rice are now on a tour through South and Central America calling on the officials of I each country, inviting them personally to come to America and participate in this great poultry- gathering. In the above picture Professor Rice is shown with a group of Cuban . officials at Havana planting a tree to commemorate his visit. Dewey Termohlen is representing the Poultry Congress at meetings , with the officials of many European countries and the usual fine repre- 1 sentation from that part of the world will be seen. Australia has also j indicated its intention to participate and one exhibit from India is i already assured. The World’s Poultry Congress will undoubtedly be the ; largest agricultural gathering ever assembled in the history of the world. I Membership in the World's Poultry Congress can be had for SI.OO, and this membership entitles the holder to attendance at all popular sessions, I and gives entrance to all exhibits and popular entertainment features.

They also stand better, carry the ears at more unii form height and grow a greater abundauce of leaves and retain them longer. Fertilizer test plots. The fertiliser test prots gave no appreciable difference between different kinds of fertilizer and Turkish Dictator 11l ~ A ■LXs >.wr • JKHBgQ' W ; ' ■•’SRk'A » ■ ■ - .. v i > xJ k, v I i >«■ X j ■ ■1 I Kemal Ataturk For many years a sufferer with a | liver ailment, Kemal Ataturk, 58-year-old president of the Turkish , republic, now is seriously ill at 1 Ankara.

' the check plots because they were 1 used on a thin soil in which the I nitrogen or humus content was quite low. It was driven home to - those who observed these plots , that before fertilizer could be used successfully on corn, that is, to get returns that pay a profit, iti I was necessary to incorporate plen- ' ty of organic matter in the soil and thus raise the nitrogen level. Some of the more practical ways of do- ’ ing this, of course, are heavy application of barn yard manure; usI ing soy beans or sweet clover as green manure crops and any other crop residues possible. It was noticed by Mr. Beeson ■ that a number of farmers were ' burning soy bean straw after com-1 bining and he did not hesitate to j say that this was a very regrettable practice. The straw following I a 30-bushel bean crop contains a-1 bout $3 worth of nitrogen and when burned, returns to the air. ' But if left on the ground, it will help the succeeding crops, giving ! the soil greater water-holding capacity and better tilth. o i PURE BREDS ARE BETTER ANIMALS Big Factor In Favor Os Registered Cows Is Discovered Records of 6,243 cows on test in . Indiana’s Dairy Herd Improvement Association for 1936-37 were recently classified by the U. S. Bureau of Dairy Industry, to com- ' pare the relative producing ability j of pure breds and grades, by ages. ! It is interesting to observe that 3,124 cows, or 50 per cent registered animals averaged 7,950 pounds of milk and 353 pounds of butterfat forth/ year, while the 3,119 grades produced only 7,639 pounds J of milk and 328 pounds of butterfat. Each age group of registered I cows had a higher butterfat average than the corresponding age i group from two years to 12 years, 1 inclusive. The difference in butter- i 1 fat production between the groups I varied from 42 pounds for the 7 , year olds to only 4 pounds for i those 10 years of age. The number of animals in groups more than 12 but in each case the grades had j years of age was relatively small l I the advantage in production. Similar studies conducted in recent years have been in favor of registered cows but this is the greatest difference in favor of the

HEATED HOUSES ARE FAVORABLE Insect Pests, Humans Thrive When Furnaces Are Used Cold Weather nowadays brings no relief in the war against household pests, says G. E. Lehker, extension entomologist, Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. The even heating of modern homes gives comfort not only to its human inhabitants, but also . to clothes moths, carpet beetles. I cockroaches, silverfish, and other pests that once were frozen out of chilly clothes closets, and storage rooms. The housewife who values her woolen clothes and furs must protect them the year round against insect attack. Frequent brushing, sunning, and airing during the winter. as well as scrupulous cleaning of all cracks and corners of closets and other storage places, will do much to save clothes from dami age. Wool sweaters, socks, or other i garments that are even slightly I Boiled need constant attention beI cause they are particularly appetizing to moths. Clothes that are | rarely worn should be cleaned and i packed in moth-proof containers. Napthalene or paradichlorobenzene flakes give added protection to stored clothes. | Cleanliness in not only a cheap and effective protection against | clothes moths and carpet beetles , but also against kitchen insects. —°— —~ COURT HOUSE Estate Cases | A petition to determine the inheritance tax was filed and referred I to the county assessor in the estate j of Ida M. Bollinger. Inventory num- ; her one was filed, examined and ap!proved. A petition in the estate of William Baumgartner to assign a note j to Leonard Baumgartner as trustee was filed, submitted and sustained. | The final report was filed and notice ordered. A petition for authority to release a mortgage was filed by the adminpure bred. More rigid culling and the extended use of tested sires of outstanding merit in registered herds is playing an Important part in keeping pure breds out in front. |_L._U ■■III -. ■ - H H~~ ROY S.
