THE NEIGHBOR- "‘’ nn CORNER A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAMING. Stock Show Next Week. Officers of the County Livestock Breeders’ association are ready for the second annual livestock show, which will open at Rensselaer next Thursday morning, October 17, and continue throughout the remainder of the week. Department superintendents report that a full number of entries is expected in all classes. In addition to the cattle snow, which was featured last year, it is probable that one of the best exhibits of hogs ever staged in the county will be staged. The Shorthorn heifers belonging to the Boys’ Shorthorn club will occupy a prominent place in the show. The pigs which were distributed by a number of prominent breeders last summer to boys of the locality will be called in for comparison of gains. W. H. Pullins, who has this matter in charge, has secured between sls and $25 as premium money for this class. One or more carloads of breeding ewes will be distributed to the boys and girls cvf the county on the last day of the show. Provision has been made for the evhibition of practically every class of farm animals and the secretary announces that Should any farmer have livestock not included in the classifications which have been mailed .out, it may be exhibited and premiums will be awarded according to merit. Green Strawstacks Under Ban. County food administrators have been requested to report to the food administrator for Indiana the names of the owners on whose farms the wheat straw stacks are now showing green. The green sprouts are evidence of the enormous waste of wheat, due to defective threshing. Steps will be taken ait once, Dr. Barnard announces, through the Grain Threshing division of the federal food administration to identify the owners of the machines whose defective operations were responsible for this The attention of the food administration was directed to the “green straw stacks” by the Indiana State Council of Defense, which is cooperating with the food administrathrough the threshing committees named in each county. Wherever green stacks have been located inquiries will be made to prevent further waste of the wheat “which should go into the flour barrel.” “Slacker threshing machines must go,” said Dr. Barnard today. “The need of wheat is too pressing to allow such wastage. Farmers who insisted on having their grain carefully handled and threshed in machines that were not defective realize after one season that it was the most profitable as wel las the most patriotic thing they could have done under the circumstances.” If your strawstack is green report the fact to the county food administrator.

If your stock dies call me at my expense and I will call for it promptly. A. L. Padgett. Phone 65. A „ Samuel E.

Leave your orders now. Eger’s Grocery. Young pigs must not be sold at the markets for food, no matter how attractive the price offered, says State Veterinarian Northrup, in a satement intended to stop such practice. “There is more money in the full grown hog,” said Dr. Northrup, “and it is more patriotic to let every pig grow to big fat healthy maturity. Farmers must feed the pigs—not sell them before they are full grown. Lately reports have reached our office that young pigs have been sold for food. That is all wrong and must be discouraged. If you have these pigs that you must sell, dispose of them to a farmer who will feed them. Nearly every farmer wants such pigs for feeding purposes.” ,

“FLU” RAGING AT CAMP DODGE

The following letter has been received from Dr. Washburn: Base Hospital, Camp Dodge, lowa. October 8, 1918. Dear friend:— - It has only been a few days since I came to this camp, but existence has been so strenuous that it seems like several \weeks. I reported to the chief surgeon and was sdfct with every other medical man that could be found to the base hospital to help fight the influenza epidemic that is raging, il first went on duty at 7 p. m. last Friday and was busy until 2 a. m. examining and classifying the cases. I personally examined 118 cases that first night. Since then it has been the same story day and night until today <1 took permanent charge of a building with fifty patients. We found four pneumonia patients this evening and sent them over to the pneumonia ward. There are 5,000 influenza cases in this base "hospital and there are not enough doctors or nurses to handle tljem properly. After the influenza has existed for four or five days in a man he runs a great risk of pneumonia, and that is what kills. It is pretty sad to see these big, robust fellows having to give up their lives from such( a pestilence. They would all prefer to die fighting the enemy instead, I am sure. We hope to see the epidemic on the wane soon sc we can get some rest and go back to our special work that we have been reserved for. Eye specialists, X-ray men, surgeons, throat specialists and all branches of the profession are treating influenza now and working harder than they ever did in their lives before. At least, lam sure that I was never so busy. This is a large camp, there being over 50,000 men here. It is fourteen miles from Des Moinep and is reached by rail and a fine cement and brick road. Being quarantined I am not seeing Des Maine sup to date. I hope the epidemic does not get to raging in Rensselaer. Rigid quarantine is the proper course to pursue. Otherwise there may be some sad results. I’ll be glad to get a Semi-Weekly. Yours very truly, I. M. WASHBURN.

This week we expect to unload a car of South Dakota Early Ohio potatoes. The potatoes will be ripe and can be stored for winter. At unloading time |1.60 a bushel.
