C.A.INNIGER WRITES STORY ON CORN CROP Third Place Winner Tells How He Won Gold Medal In 1939 (Editor's note! Following Is n story written by Christ A. InnIyer of near Berne, whose corn yield of IJS.S waa third high Ini the Adame county five acre com | < luh this yegr and won for him a I gold medal.) •'hi February 1939 a fourteen i 'tier. field »w plowed (six Inches I d<epi with the intention* of using i five acres out of the 14 for the 1 five acre corn conleat. •'ln 1937 thia field was sown In oats and sweet clover. In IMS the i Mreet clover was harvested for se.il, This Waa early enough to allow a good second growth to start “The aoll la black loam and wan covered with barn yard manure before plowing. We like to plow our ground late In the fall or tn | the early winter as thia allows the I gtwund to freeie and It will hold moisture better In case of dry < weather in the summer months. “After dlaciug the ground twice, lolling once and Utting the spring tooth harrow once, the corn war ' : checked 38 inches hy 38 Inches.

We find this kills a lot of ' weeds and loosens the ground while I the corn is yet too small for cult I- I 1 ration with a plow H “Two Weeks later the com was i cultivated with a two row cuitivat- j or and once more before the corn was too tall There was very little difference in the yield over the 14 ■ acre field. A two row picker was J used to harvest the com, and It l was harvested iti one day. “I enjoy being a five acre corn I member, having lieen enrolled before. One finds new problems from year to year.

The accompanying chart, says | County Agricultural Agent L. E. Archbald. gives a clear picture of the relationship that has existed among Indiana farm commodity prices, purchasing power of Ind iana farm products. and Indiana ' farm real estate prices. “Farm real estate prices on Mar. 1. 1940 are not expected to he greatly different from March 1. 1938," says the Purdue I’nlverslty farm management department in .1 recent bulletin. “The Outlook for Indiana Agriculture in IMA." “For the first time since 1933. no Increase was reported In the Index of Indiana farm real estate prices for the year 1938-39.

1100, the preliminary Index of average price per acre of farm real estate, prepared annually by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, for Indiana again stood at 73 on March 1, 1939. A decline of one point was reported for both the United States as a whole and for the five East North-Central States, which include Indiana. “While the upward trend, which began in 1933, has been halted after a recovery of 20 points, the Index of Indiana farm real estate prices is still less than the Index of Indiana farm commodity prices and less than the l Index of farm real estate prices for the other states in the East North-Central ileglon and for the United States.” COUNTY CROWER IS RECOGNIZED Hoile Places Sixth At International Held In Chicago Recently It was learned today that Otto Hoile of this city won sixth place In the shelled com exhibit at the International Live Stock and grain show he d recently at Chicago.

MILK MOOTS SALE DROPPING OVER COUNTRY - ■ Better Selling Methods Needed To Regain Lost Markets Urbana. Hl.. Jan. — Everybody seems to be interested in increasing the consumption of dairy products. In the opinion of Wilfred Shaw, secretary of the Illinois Milk Producers' Association. Chicago, speaking to a Farm and Home Week audience today at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, there Is a great need for this common objective. “Milk producers are vitally Interested in larger outlets for dairy producta because Increased demand will improve prlcea received for milk. Milk dealers and processors are Interested because larger sales mean more satisfactory operating profits. Dieticians, nutrition experts and the medical profession believe unanimously that an Increased per capita consumption of dairy products will make for better health." However. Shaw said. "The sales ■ of fresh fluid milk are lagging. Re- ' cent U. S Department of AgrlcnlI ture figures disclose that the per ! < apita consumption of milk In the : United States was 39 3 gallons In 1928 and only 39 gallons In 1938. We might quickly justify this decline on the grounds of economic factors If we did not also find that some other competitive dairy producta of fresh milk, such as evaporated milk, increased their per capita consumption from 11.2 lbs. or 2.6 gallons, in 1928. to 15.8 lhs„ or 3.7 gallons. In 1938. Thia la a 40 cent inc rease. Canned Milk Popular “There can be no doubt that the 40 per cent tncreaae In aalea of canned milk between 1928 and 1938 have been due principally to the price appeal of canned milk, as compared with freah bottled mllh. supplemented by B n aggressive ladust ry advertising and metchanilslng program on the part of the evaporated milk Industry *T believe the opportunity for larger sales of fresh milk Iles In the direction of continued and enlarged programs of consumer education as to the desirability of milk, or more and wider advertising and publicity of these products. Improved salesmanship, and In doing something about tbs steadily increasing coat* between the producer and consumer of fresh milk. “In my opinion the fresh fluid mllh Industry must find ways and means of getting milk to conaum era at lower prices. Already there are Indications In many areas that this can and will be done without lowering prices paid to producers for tbelr mllh. Store sales of milk at prices from which are subtracted the high coat* of door-to-door delivery may afford one opportunity In thia direction. Larger quantity pechage*. such a* gallon*, half gallons and three pint packages may be another. New type* nd cheaper containers may be another." Shaw summed up the problem and It* solution before the Farm and Home Week visitor* by my-

FARM EXPORTS IN'4O MAY BE : DISAPPOINTING |U. S. May Not Benefit Greatly From World War At First Urhana. lit. Jan. - “Exports of grain am) livestock products will likely prove disappointing In 1940.'' Farm and Home Week visitors were told here today by U J Norton of the University of Illinois College of Agriculture's economics department. "Many people remembering 191411919, when high prices prevailed during and after the World War, thought that a great wave of export* would set in after the outbreak of the current war last Sep tomber So far. these anticipations have not been realixed ” Norton gave ns his reasons that "The warring nations had accumulated considerable stock* of certain Item*. »uch as fat*, have forced curtailment* It) consumption of more expensive foodstilff*. such a* butter and bacon, and have fixed prices on certain Items which are not attractive to American exporter*. Other Countries "Certain product* like cattle *nd wheat have been obtainable more cheaply In other countries than in the United States Especially ha* thia been true of cattle In Argentina and of wheat In Argentina and Canada. Also, livestock feeding In England ha* hern curtailed War* make people poor and they go onto cheaper rations.” For the near future, the following 'rends appear likely, according to Norton: “Little increases in export* of pork to Europe, the Increaae reflecting huge U 8. production rather than war demand: some export* of lightweight hog earcasae* to Canada to replace Inoreased exports from that r-oagtry to Great Britain: moderate increa*e« In export* of lard because of huge supplies here; little or no export of wheat because of high prices hers and the reduciion In supplies caused by th* drouth In the southwest t continued ln< rested Interest in American soybean* on the part of European buyers because of the remoteness of Manlog. “Our opportunity In the milk and dairy Industry lie* in better merchandising hy more widespread consumer education, more intensive publicity and sdvertislng. better salesmanship method* and by price appeal through *hort cut* In distribution to consumers at lower prlcea. high quality milk and dairy product* ”
