ANOTHER JASPER COUNTY PATRIOT

Warner T. Elmore, of Remington, went to Hammond this morning, where he expects to take the place of some one who will enter general military service. In other words he wants to be “the man behind the man behind the gun.” Mr. Elmore is too old and could not get into the war service. He has two good farms and thinks that he has sufficient strength to take a place in a munition factory, and that in that way hg can be of more service to his country. Kaiser Bill will please take notice of this spirit among our people, and let us assure you that “WE WILL GET YOU.” -

SURREY FARMERS PROSPEROUS, TOO

Erhardt Wuerthner telephoned into this office Wednesday evening saying that Ernest Comer had finished the threshing run in that neighborhood. Mr. Comer threshed on this run SB, 1 ? 91 bushels of oats and the average yield was 53% bushels per acre, in the sAnie run he threshed 8,982 bushels of wheat, but on account of not having the acreage Mr. Wuerthner was unable to give rhe average yield.

THE NEIGHBOR HOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WEL FARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAMING-

County Wheat Average 24.5 Bushel*. The average yield of wheat in Jasper county this season was 24.52 bushels per acre, according to the reports filed by threshermen for the use of the Bureau of Markets at Washington. These reports show that last year the average yield was 13.8 bushels per acre. The “run” having the highest average yield was that of Edward Kanne in north Marion and south Barkley townships, where the yield was 31 bushels per acre. The lowest yields were in parts of Carpenter and Walker townships. The acreage of wheat harvested was 68 per cent greater than that harvested in 1917, and the total yield was 240,000 bushels, or almost exactly three times the amount harvested a year ago. It will be remembered that the farmers were asked to increase their wheat acreage 20 per cent last fall. With the hearty response that they made there is every reason to think that they will surpass the 85 per cent increase of acreage asked for this year.

Hybrid Wheat Does Well. W- C. Dooley, of Kniman, secured yields of 12 5-6 bushels to 31 %’ bushels per acre in a wheat variety trial which he conducted on his farm this year. Last fall Mr. Dooley was supplied with seed of eight varieties of wheat by the State Experiment /Station, which he planted side by side on a sandy prairie soil. The lowest yielding wheat—a beardless hybrid—badly winter killed and produced but 12 5-6 bushels of wheat weighing 29 pounds per measured bushel. Michigan Amber, a variety used as a standard of comparison, yielded 27% bushels weighing 55 pounds to the measured mshel. The Red Rock, a variety creating considerable comment in Michigan and which many Jasper county farmers are watching, yielded 26 bushels per acre. The highest yield, 31% bushels of wheat* weighing 63 pounds per measured bushel, was made by Hybrid BA-1-21-7-4, a new beardless variety. This also gave results on the Toben ’arm in Jordan toWnship. Mr. Dooley’s own wheat averaged slightly less than 20 bushels per acre, which was exceeded by all of the university varieties except the one. On a light sandy soil near Kersey, on the farm of Amos McDaniels, Beardless Winter Fife and Michigan Amber gave better results than the hybrids, both yielding 18.7 bushels per acre, while the .hybrids yielded from 8.3 to 16.7 bushels. The Red Rock yielded 14.5 bushels. Of Mr. dcDaniels’ own varieties, the Indiana Red Wave yielded 20.8 bushels and the Marvelous yielded 14.5 bushels per acre. To Plan for Stock Show. Fred Phillips, president of the County Livestock Breeders’ association, has called a meeting to be held at the Better Farming office Saturday, August 31, at 2 o’clock, for the purpose of completing plans for the County Stock Show to be held October 17 to 21. The amount of purebred livestock in the county has doubled in the past year and the association expects to make the second annual show a credit to the community. ' Marion Food Club to Meet. A meeting of the South Marion Food club will be held in the solidated school building Thursday afternoon, September 5, at 2:30 o’clock. Important business will be transacted and all members are not only requested but will be required by the officers to attend.'' Are You Conserving?

GOV. GOODRICH SERIOUSLY HURT

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF INDIANA IN A NEAR FATAL AUTO WRECK. r 1 ■ " -f Indianapolis, Aug. 29.—Governor James P. Goodrich was seriously in- ' jured in a collision between his automobile and a Fair Grounds street car at Bdllefountaine street and Fairfield avenue last evening. The Governor was alone in his car. He had just left the residence of Dr. Amelia R. Keller, 3515 Bellefountaine street, on whom he had called, and was on his way into Fairfield avenue when the collision occurred. After the collision the Governor was taken back to Dr. Keller’s residence for treatment. It was said that he was only partly conscious. There were two deep cuts in his skull. The extent of his other injuries were undetermined. There were indications of concussion of the brain, but it was impossible to tell on first examination whether the skull was fractured. The Governor complained of injury to his left hip also. There were several wounds on his scalp and neck. The street car was going east on Fairfield avenue and stopped at BeUefountaine street, the Governor stopping his automobile at the same tune. Both started at the same instant and the collision came a moment later. The automobile was thrown fifteen feet.

SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER 9TH

Owing to the fact that in report ng the big yields of wheat and oats in Jasper county in our Wednesday ssue, we were short of the large numbers and had to use a “2”’ instead of a “9” in our item in reference to the opening of the Rensselaer city schools. Supt. Dea-n is sure that every “kid” in the city reads the Republican, for every one of them called him last night and breathlessly asked, “Does school begin- next Monday?” The superintendent, being of a very amiable disposition, gently answered the lundreds of inquiries, “No, not until the following Monday.”

AGED COUPLE MARRIED.

Possibly one of the oldest couples ever married in this city were united in that happy bond at the home of Mrs. George Gorham by Rev. J. Budman Fleming, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The bridegroom, William H. Mulhollen, of Lafayette, is seventy years of age. The bride, Rachel Helen Norman, of this city, is eighty years of age. The bridegroom is the step-father-in-law of Mrs. George Gorham, and the bride Mis. Gorham’s step-mother. That is stepping some for persons who have already passes the age limits of sacred writ, four score and ten. They' been the interested parties in five weddings and have lived a combined life’of one hundred fifty-seven years. The bridegroom owns a good home and has been blessed with sufficient means to take care of himself and his new companion in peace and comfort. Being above the draft age he is not expecting to be conscripted. The Republican joins with the many, friends of both in wishing them all the enjoyment and happiness so much deserved by those who have lived so many years of A few years of married life can transform tne nectar in her kisses to rinegar.
