THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEAMING. Shorthorn Meeting Enthusiastic. A small but enthusiastic group of breeders attended the annual meeting of the Jasper County Shorthorn association held in Rensselaer last Saturday. > . The records showed an increase oi some fifty herds established since the organization started eighteen months ago. A noticeable increase in the number of pure-bred sires is also observed. •' It was decided to hold an association tour some time during the summer, in order to observe the conditions under which Shorthorns 'are raised in Jasper and adjoining counties. W. H. Wortley, J. W. Amsler and Kenton Parkison were appointed a committee to arrange for the event. A Shorthorn Steer Feeding club, open to boys of the county between the age oriT and to W organized. The purpose being to demonstrate the possibilities of profit in steer feeding and to show the value of the breed for beef production. John Parkison, C. H. Wood and W. H. Wortley have charge of this mat‘tCT. The association expects to make an exhibit of Shorthorns as an organization at the Indiana State Fair next fall and a committee consisting of Wm. Wortley, P. H. Hauter and John Parkison was placed in charge of this matter. The purpose of this exhibit is to determine the merits of the cattle owned in this county as compared to those produced in other parts of the United States. The officers were directed to hold a Shorthorn smoker for the purpose of enabling breeders to spend a social evening together. A fitting program is to be arranged for the occasion. - The following officers, were elected: President, W. H. Wortley; vice president, P. H. Hauter; secretary, John JR. Parkison; directors, Wm. Hershman, Floyd Amsler, Harvey Williams and Stephen Kohley. The association pledged its support to a county livestock show to be held next fall and appropriated funds to be used in paying premiums for the offspring of the Shorthorn heifers distributed in the Jasper County Shorthorn club. Farmers’ Club Executives to Convene. A meeting of the executives of the farmers’ Clubs of the county will be held at the court house Saturday afternoon, February 22, for the purpose of considering plans for the reorganization of the clubs of the county, the epidemics of flu having caused practically all clubs to suspend activities. Prof. O. E. Hall will address the meeting. The need of substantial rural organizations has never been than at present and the counsel of the different community leaders should result in much good at the present time. . Brisk Demand for Farm Help. A brisk demand forearm help for the coming season has developed the last few weeks, numerous inquiries for single hands coming in that could not be filled. Young men desiring work on farms are certain of securing good employment if they will run notices to the effect in the county papers. „ , Hatch Chicks Early. In a leaflet sent out by A. G. Phillips and Leroy Jones, department of poultry husbandry, this statement is made: “Early hatching means March and April, not May and June. A pullet must be mature before it will lay, and it will take from eight months for proper growth. Fall and winter egg production depends] on early hatching. Do not expect yearling hens —or older —to give a hrtavv egg production in November or December. Early hatched pullets should. Besides, the early chicks grow better, and the broilers are ready for early markets, when prices are high.”
