j to follow soybeans with a green I cover crop such as wheat or rye, for the soybean stubble field is I loose and under rolling conditions the soil will wash or erode. II For milling purposes the yellow soybeans high in oil content are r preferred. The Dunfield is very • j popular with processors and grow- . ers alike, and the new Richland which is approximately ten days earlier than the Runfield altho ! yielding ten per cent less for seed purposes is showing satisfactory promise as a bean for processing ■ purposes and for producers who ■ desire to harvest the seed earlier, i It should be grown on rich soil i i only. The lllini, Manehu and ManI dell are also rather extensively | grown altho the latter averages a little lower in oil content than the • j others. Black beans are unsatisfactory for milling purposes. Inoculation was stressed as being one of the most important contributing factors to success with any legume. Experimental work i with the soybeans show that good | inoculation has increased the yield 25%. The importance of using good • reliable culture was stressed by the speaker who showed that some of the culture used and sold In Indiana did not increase the yield a bushel per acre and were worth- . less to the farmer. 1 Soybeans are heavy feeders of plant food, and it was advised that 1 both preceding and succeeding crops be heavily fertilized to compensate for the plant food removal. Soybeans will not show very much direct response to fertilizer except on thin soils or on potash deficient soils where results from fertilizer or manure rich in potash are just as pronounced as with the corn crop. For clay soils an 0-14-6 fertilizer was suggested. o 50U Sheets S’/jXll, 16-lb. White Paragon Bond typewriting paper 55c. The Decatur Democrat Co. ts

GAME FEEDING IS REQUIRED Conservation Club Asks Help For Wild Life This Winter (This is the second of a series of articles being written by Roman Lengerich, secretary treasurer of the Adams county fish and game conservation league.) Sportsmen everywhere have enthusiastically remarked of the abundance of game and every effort should be made to prevent winter losses so that an adequate number of birds will survive to provide next year’s breeding stock. In recent years thousands of individuals and most of the conservation clubs have assisted wild life during severe weather. Emergency winter feeding is not always necessary under normal conditions, however. The sportsmen should be prepared to assist game when the weather is bad. Failure to provide food during sleet and heavy snow may off-set all other efforts to restore and maintain the desired supply of wild life. In 1939 there will be another hunting season and the one to benefit by winter feeding will be the sportsmen. They should take an interest in the work. The Adams county fish and game conservation league is making preparations for a winter feeding program. All sportsmen should do what they can to feed the birds when the weather is bad. The local club is taking part in the sixth annual crow control contest in Indiana beginning, January 1, 1939. and ending May 31, 1939. Prizes will be awarded each month to the five clubs having the largest numbers of crow feet. L grand prize of SSO or 50 quai' or pheasants will be given to the club having the largest number of feet for the entire five months. It is not the desire of the conservation department of Indiana to exterminate the crows but to reduce the number, which in turn will help increase the wild life. It also should provide the sportsmen with additional outdoor sport. Sportsmen should turn in all the crow feet they collect to their local clubs. _q

MIXED PROTEIN FEEDS FAVORED Supplements Needed For Corn, Other Grains In Hog Feeding Mixed protein feeds have become popular as supplements with corn and other grains for feeding hogs in Indiana, explained J. W. Schwabb this afternoon at the Monroeville district Purdue Short Course. At the Purdue Experimental Swine Farm tankage and meat and bone scraps were of equal feeding value and have been used as standard protein supplements. Mixed supplements have been compared with these in hog feeding trials and of the several mixtures used, this one, fed with corn on pasture, has produced one hundred pounds of gain with less feed and costs: —2O pounds meat and bone scraps, 20 pounds fish meal, 40 ponds soybean oilmeal and 10 pound each of lindseed oilmeal and cottonseed meal. For winter feeding, the 40 pounds of soybean oilmeal wer<j reduced to 30 pounds and 10 pounds alfalfa leaf meal were added. It was noticeable in the feeding trials that the pigs increased the consumption of mixed supplements as compared with meat and bone scraps.

VIEW MIRROR You can perform some very interesting observations of weather with a simple, round rearview auto mirror. Take a convex mirror and lay it flat on the ground, perhaps lilting it slightly so that your face will nota show. Stand a short distance away, and you will find that you can see the whole sky at one time, with the horizon as a black rim around the edge of the mirror. For this reason. views of the passing of storms in a convex mirror are a neverending source of interest. When >i storm is approaching us we see long streamers called “mares’ tails” radiating out of the front of the storm. Ordinarily, our eyes do not see the full significance ot these cloud ribbons, because we see only a small part of the sky at one glance. Not so in a rear-view mirror. Here we can see all the "mares’ tails" at once, and they look something like ray:., or long white streamers of clouds, against the blue background of the sky. The point from which the streamers radiate is the direction from which the storm will come. Later, when the storm is passing overhead, we can often see windows of clouds. Did you ever look at the ripples on the bottom of a stream, or the ripples on a sand dune blown by the wind 9 Ripples are characteristic when one fluid flows over another. Windrows of clouds are in effect gigantic ripples. Here upper air winds flew over dense air near the surface, and the meeting place of the two winds is filled with gigantic waves, the tops of each great wave marked by a long billow of cloud. After tin. storm has passed we see retreating clouds on the westward, or rear side of the storm. These clouds are very different from the “mares’ tails.” The clouds of the retreating storm are broken and lumpy, like puff balls. As the white clouds retreat in the northeast and finally drop below the horizon the puffballs follow, and soon clear blue heavens appear as cold polai air sweeps over us. WEATHER QUESTIONS Q I have always understood that cyclones and hurricanes cover large areas, circle counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere; clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and are entirely distinct from tornadoes. Tornadoes cover areas of from a tew Hun-

dred feet to a half a mile and do great damage and are the cyclones’ “ugly little brothers.” Are not cyclones, hurricanes, monsoons. and typhoons the same, but named according to locality and I severity? A. Y. A. Any rotating storm is technically a “cyclone.” A hurricane is a cyclone over tropical waters, and may be very severe. Tornadoes differ from hurricanes in many respects; chiefly they come i in spring, while hurricanes occur ;in the autumn. Hurricanes often move west or north; tornadoes nearly always move northeast. Q. What causes the atmospheric pressure to fall or rise? What causes a low barometric pressure area? Will a barometer register ’he atmospheric pressure if it is placed in a strong air-tight i box? R. C. A. The air changes its temperature and water vapor content from time to time. Wet air weighs ! less than dry air, and hot air less than cold air. When the air is warm and wet, the barometer ; reads LOW. A barometer in an airtight box will not record i weather. I Q. Will a ten cent store magl ni tying lens work for the eye lens iof a telescope? G. A. A. Yes, some of these lenses are quite good. WHERE DID THE MOON COME FROM? Some scientists assert that th > moon is made up of that . art of the Earth’s surface which once filled the cavity where now rolls the Pacific Ocean. Others say that the moon was made out of nebula at the time the Earth was born. Prof. Maxwell has prepared a very interesting monograph regarding the origin I of the moon, its composition and arresting ideas that will

EARLY FEEDING IS NECESSARY J. W. Schwab Discusses Pig Feeding At Short Course It is very important to start feeding pigs when they begin wanting grain at about two to three weeks of age stated Mr. J. W. Schwab at the Monroeville district Short Course, this morning. Starting early with a proper ration helps to maintain good health and the natural body resistance to disease and parasites. The following feed mixture has proven successful on many hundreds of Indiana farms: 70 lbs. coarse-ground corn 20 lbs. coarse-ground wheat 10 lbs. good tankage. The wheat may be "replaced with an equal amount of flour middlings, ground hulled oats, or screened (8 mesh) ground oats. Skim milk fed mornings and evenings may replace the tankage. Soybeans are not suitable for young pigs. A good self-feeder keeps feed cleaner, helps prevent robbing, gives pigs of different ages an equal chajice, and gains are generally faster and more economical than by trough feeding. Feed this way until pigs weigh 70-100 pounds. Locate feeder in a "creep" not accessible to sows. A constant supply of good, clean drinking water is important Mr. Schwab stated. o

Uncle Jitti Says “Since reading about the wheat situation last night, I am convinced that we farmers can avert the biggest wheat surplus in American History by cooperating with the Agricultural Conservation Program. If we seed this fall and next spring as much wheat ground as in 1937 and 1938 we surely will create, with average yields, a wheat surplus record — something no farmer would be proud to see.” give you new thrills when you gaze on Earth’s great satellite.

Explaining His Economy Dr. Willard Thorp, Department of Commerce economist, points to a chart showing U. S. business population, as he testified before the federal monopoly committee in Washington. Thorp told the committee that some economic situations "have sufficient public importance to warrant government intervention.”
