RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1919.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

ADEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEAMING. Like* Soy Beans in Corn. “I expect to plant soy beans in every acre of corn I raise from now on,” says Lewis Selmer, of Gillam township. “I have been doing this for a year or so and find that the soy beans are clear gain, as they have never reduced the yield of corn. tachment to the corn planter, using inoculated seed. My corn fodder, when cut with the binder, is about half soy bean hay up to the band and the stock always picks out the beans before they touch the corn. I find that this method of planting increases the amount of silage producted per acre and improves its quality. The method also improves the land.” J Mr. Selmer is one ola number of men who are enthusiastic about the soy bean in corn. As a method of soil building, increasing the yield of silage of fodder, improving the feeding value of the ration and saving tankage in hogging off, few methods of farming are superior. Experiments have shown that the corn and soy bean combination may be expeeted to produce from 150 to 200 pounds more pork per acre than corn alone. It is a combination that should be generally used in the county. Home Betterment Association Has Enthusiastic Meeting. —Mrs. Frank Schroer—was elected president, Mrs. Mary Drake vicepresident, Mrs. Ed. Parkison, Jr., secretary and Mrs. Jay Stockton treasterment Association at the annual meeting held last week. M Interest proved to be growing rapidly and it was felt that there would be no great difficulty in carrying out a program of work which would be of benefit to the women of the county. The keynote of the meeting is reflected in the sloga nadopted, “Bet-' ter Homes for Jasper County/’ to be developed by a combination of thrift, home conveniences, Children’s club work, child welfare, organization of home economics clubs and Americanization. A committee of six was appointed to investigate and report on whether or not it would be desirable to establish a local market. While the organization is handicapped by the loss of a leader through the resignation of Miss Geyer as Home Demonstration Agent, assurances were made by Miss Gaddis, of the Extension Department, that the vacancy would be supplied as soon as possible. The women of the county have been doing a great deal of constructive work in the past year and the outlook is bright for greater things in the future. Calf Feeding Club Interest Growing. , Interest in the Calf Feeding Club of the County Shorthorn Association is growing steadily, according to report of Secretary John R. Parkison, who completed a tour of the the interests of the work last week. An experienced cattle feeder himself, Mr. Parkison believes that this club offers unusual opportunities at this time. He predicts a healthy demand for meat products during the year and believes that the -boys and girls who enter the club are certain to make a little money and gain a whole lot of experience. He believes that cattle feeding is and always will be one of the most profitable lines of farming in the county and urges every young man who expects to enter the club and receive training under the most favorable circumstances. Applications for membership in the club must be filed before March 20th. State Farmers Meeting March 25th. Delegates of the various farmers’ associations of the state will meet at Indianapolis on March ? 2 sth for the purpose of federating the county forces into a state organization. Similar organizations are already formed or in the process of formation in the majority of the states of the Union and it seems but the question of a short time when the farming intefests will have a strong and representative national organization to care for matters concerning the farmer. Farmers of this county will do well to get into the county organization and take part in £he direction of its policies and make their wants known. Edward Ranton and P. H. Hauter will represent the Jasper County Association at the state meeting. More Honey for Jaspor County. That the use of larger hives is essential in increased honey production was an important point made by Mr. E. G. Baldwin, Federal bee specialist, at a meeting of the County Bee-Keep-ers’ Association held at the court house on Monday. “Small hives cause congestion and stimulate early swarming,” said Mr. Baldwin, “and this weakens the colonies and prevents the gathering of a honey surplus.”. Mr. Baldwin’s method of honey , production is to re-queen colonies in i the fall and pack the hive on their | sumiher stands for the winter. In apple blossom time he places an ex-

JOHN AND PAUL WORLAND MEET IN FRANCE.

D. M. Worland has'received a letter from his son, John, telling of his visit with his brother, Paul, in Langres, France. Both boys have been in Europe for several months and saw active service and their meeting was a most happy one. The letter follows: Langres, France, V’ Feb. 16, 1919. Dear folks: There isn’t very much to write but I thought I would at least write what little there is. I received mother’s latest letter under date of February 22. Paul was down to see me. He is still in the army of occupation but managed to get a fourteen-day furlough. It took him almost eight days to make the round trip so he had only sir days to spend with me. I didn’t know he was coming and was jure some surprised when he peered into our mess hall one noon. I was in quarantine at the time of his arrival (scarlet fever) and it looked as if his trip was going to prove disappointing, but twenty-four hours after his arrival the doctor turned us loose. He brought a couple of large automatic pistols (German) with him. They would make good souveniers, but are rather expensive, being worth about forty dollars apiece, sol am going to sell them for him. When, he left he took a lot of auto part with him, saying that he was going to get his Q. M. C. in shape. \ I am still driving my Ford although it needs some repairs at the present time, but it rains all the time in this country and I have no place to work on it. The stone roads here are getting in a fearfulc ondition. Five and seven ton trucks day after day are too much for them, especially when the ground is soft. »There is nothing to indicate that we are going to return soon, and I have my doubts if we get back before Fall. Well, I must close now and try to catch up with the rest of my correspondence. Your son, John Worland, 2nd Air Ser. Meeh. Reg.

tra hive body with frames and full sheets of foundation over the brood chamber and allows the queen to fill this with brood. Just before the honey flows, he reduces the size to one hive body with each frame filled completely with brood and begins to super up. As soon as the first super is one-third full he places another underneath and so on during- the season. During the honey flow he goes through the frames each week and the swarming fever comes on he pinches out the queen cells and when practices “shock swarming.” This method, according to Mr. Baldwin, makes the colony as efficient as from four to a dozen ordinary colonies. Membership in the Beekeepers Association is increasing rapidly according to the reports of President Frank Foltz. Arrangements' have been made for a tour of inspection some time this spring, at which several apiaries will be visited and demonstrations on transferring' and other operations will be conducted. The association will also make a survey of the beekeepers industry of the county and undertake the control pf foul brood.

PARIS AGAIN BOWS TO PRESIDENT AND THE MRS.

PARIS, March 14.—President Wilson conferred with Premier Lloyd George, Premier Clemenceau and Col. House, in the latter’s office at 3 o’clock this afternoon. When the president arrived, accompanied by his wife he was cheered by the crowds around the hotel DeCrillon and he asknowledged the greetings with a salute. lit has been learned that the status of secret treaties and conventions made during the war again has arisen. Information obtained here today for some of the American delegates to the peace conference was to the effect that the action of a ing with the subject*, of Greek boundaries in declaring that the treaty of London in 1915 was .effective and will not be permitted to go unchallenged and could not become effective unless ratified by the council of ten which they asserted would refuse its approval. The subject matter of th dcision of the commission is not of especial interest to Americans, but the decision relative to the treaty of London which is one of those secret . conventions made during the war, is regarded as of the gravest importance, it being ■declared to be in direct conflict with one of President Wilson s fourteen points concerning such agreements and one relative to the rights of self-determination of small nations. . ° It is held that if the decision of the majority of the commission were upheld, it would of nessity carry with it affirmation of Italy’s claims to nearlv all the eastern shores of the ~Adriaticr~as ments for the 1 disposition of colonial possessions, which have been regarded as proper subjects for action of the supreme council and the peace conference itself. A point of especial interest is that the action was taken by the commission through a combination of votes of Great Britain, France and Italy.
