THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LE AMINO

Wheat Variety Trial Under Way. Gladden, a variety of wheat introduced into the state last fall has come through the winter better than any other of the three varieties being tested out on the Kurrie land one and one-half miles northwest'or Rensselaer this season. Last fall this variety was sown between Turkey Red and Gypsy, considered the most hardy varieties of this section of tne state. The new variety has come through in fine shape and has made a good start, the Gypsy coming second, and the Turkey Red coming at the foot with a comparatively thin stand and with plants of apparently lower vitality. Turkey Red is usually slow to start in the spring and harvest time may show entirely different results. Now is the time to check up on the winter resistance of the numerous varieties of wheat grown in the county. While time of seeding and fertility of soil have much to do with the appearance of wheat at the time of the year, general observations of value can be made by anyone, who will watch different fields as he travels through the country. Winter resistance being one of the essentials of good variety of wheat for the locality, too much attention cannot be given to this matter at this time. Potash Experiments to Be Located. With a view of establishing sO JP e fertilizer experiments to compare the more important of our domestic potash materials with German potash, the Indiana Experiment Station has asked the writer to locate some black aandy loam soil which is deficient in potash. Four or five acres of soil of uniform composition that can be leased on a cash basis- are required. It must not have had treatment with manure, straw or potash fertilizers to any extent in recent ye*«The state officials desire to take exclusive control of the field, and harvest the crop. As heavy «PPh<f; tions of potash are to be apphed to many of the experimental plot, the field will undoubtedly returned to the fanner in a much better condition than when the work is started. Any farmers who have such so<) conditions and desire to lease it to the experiment station should report the fact to the county agent at once. The question of the values of different kinds of potash is one that comes up frequently and any data throwing light on the subject will be welcomed by our farmers.

It is probable that the committee will continue to take care of the tankage situation. /T Serioua Corn Insect in U- 3. . - Professore James Troop, Entomologist of the State Experiment Station has sent out a warning for farmers to be on the lookout for a serious corn insect known, as the European Corn Borer, which has been introduced into New York sand some of the other eastern states. According to Prof. Troop this incest is liable to find its way west and in ease it does make its appearance in the corn belt of the middle west, is likely to do very serious damage to the crop. Ohio has already taken action along this line and farmers are urged to keep a careful watch, and if anything in the way of borers should make its appearance in their fields to send in specimen as soon as possible. Should the borer become introduced it would cause a very serious damage to the corn crop. Prompt attention may be able to stamp it out.

COUNTY S. S. CONVENTION.

The following is a report of the annual Sunday School Convention held in Rensselaer Wednesday: The county Sunday school convention opened Wednesday, a goodly number being present considering the heavy rain. The session opened with a song and service led by C. E. Prior, after which Rev. Strecker led m prayer. President G. A. Hammerton gave the annual address and Miss Emma Lemon gave a helpful and instructive talk on the “Children Di-

vision.” . . At the afternoon session the county and township officers gave their reports. Rev. Strecker talked enthusiastically of the future of the new county organization and Miss Lemon gave an address on the “Building of the Wall.” She reviewed the old story of the Rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem, carefully pointing out that the work was not accomplished by one individual but by united effort, each taking the part he was best fitted to perform, thus the wall was quickly and well builded. This method was then applied to the Sunday school work. Mr. answered all question relating to the International School standard in which there has been many changes. The elementary department is now kndwn as The Children’s Division.” The adult division includes the A. B. C. department; the Home department, and the Parents’ department. The administration division mclud the Pastor’s, Superintendent’s, the Secretary-treasurer’s and the Publicity departments. The educational department includes the Training, Temperance and Missionary departments/ The evening session was again addressed by Miss Lemon on “The Present Task.” She said in part that the small children in the Sunday school today would be leaders of the church tomorrow; that the child must have training to become an efficient leader and proceeded to show how the graded lesson is best fitted to prepare the child for the task before it. She said all children would do the work if the importance was impressed upon them and proper training given. The following officers were elected; President, J. N. Leatherman; Vice-president, W. E. Johnson; 2nd Vice-president, C. G. Spitler; Secre-tary-treasurer, Mrs. Elnora Baker; Children’s division supt., Mrs. Helen Hunt; Young Peoples’ division supt., George H. McLain; Adult division, supt., James A. Washbum, Educational supt., Rev Barbre. - The ’•following resolutions were adopted: Resolved —That this convention expresses its sense of appreciation ana gratitude to the officers of the county association for the work done the past year under the most trying circustances. That this convention also expresses its appreciation for the very efficient service rendered by Miss Lemon in her splendid address: That the ’convention pledge itself to support the State and International Association, and that it "will endeavor to introduce into the Sunday schools of the county the high standard of the association: . Further, that the convention pledge its hearty support to the newly elected officers and that it will assist? these officers to give the Sunday school work the large emphasis it deserves throughout the county.

INDIANA FEDERATION OF FARMERS MEETING.

On the 25th day of March atthe Assembly room of the Claypool hotel a body of several hundred fanners met for the purpose of perfecting an organization of Indiana reaeration of farmere as they realized they were there for a business pur pose there were fifty-three organized counties represtented, according to P H. Hauter, who represented the local Betterment Association at this m TSris Taylor of Newbufg,, was elected chairman of the day ano E. Reynolds, of Tippecanoe county was elected secretary. Mr. Taylor opened the meeting with a very brief speech in which he asserted that “solution of the farmer's problem must be made on a bisis of justice and fairness of all concerned.” “To the farmer, red flag is intolerable’ said Mr. Taylor. “The only flag the fanner knows and loves is the red, white and blue. I believe in fairness to all concerned. lam not one of those who believes that there are no two great factions fighting each other, I believe that the only purpose of the farmer is coming here today is to have a great organization of farmers an the state and not for the purpose of fighting fiction.” Mr. D. O. Thompson, secretary ox the Illinois State Farmers Association gave a short talk and reviewed the history of their organidataon. “The need for state organization is shown in the fact that the farmers have business interests that can not be handled by individuals. For Illinois. We have voted to spend $60,000,000. It is of tremendous importance to the farmer, that these roads are constructed properly and with the proper material. Up to the present time much stress had been laid on large production but today greater questions must be solved and that is a question of markets and marketing. Two important principals of the State Farmers Association are well organized County Associations and adequate provision of ample funds carry out the work of the organization. (Mr. H. J. Sconce, president of Illinois Farmers’ Association gave * short and interesting talk and also Mr. C. V. Gregory, member of the executive committee of Illinois State Association. Dean J. H. Skinner, of Purdue university brought out the danger of Radicalism, “unjust and unfair methods and in such organization I am not of those who believe that in this 'organization partisan politics, the I. W. W. S. and on Partisan League. We must work for bigger things and must have the right kind of men for leaders.” . „ . TT • Mr. Coleman of Purdue University stated that Purdue so far had taken up only the crop production part of the farmers, but that they have been working for the past six months on marking crops and thought as soon as state organization was perfected that they could co-operate and probably give some good advice on that line. . . Agriculture today stands m the limelight because of great food shortage across the sea, said Mr. Skinner. We need to improve our marketing faculties. The .farmer must get his crops to consumers at a price he can afford to pay. Th® big problem of the farmer today is HOW can I be a more efficient man? |We must work to reduce the cost of production so that when the lower prices come and they are coming as surely as the world goes around, we can go on and make a profit. ■ Mr. Skinner said the farmers should not sit idly by while the assessment of their lands are being made for taxation. They should have some representation m tins matter and should not leave it entirely to others. Mr. Brown of Monon stated the trouble with the farmers was that they have’nt had any way of presenting their case, that they would have to form an association, in which way they could show that all farmerswere behind the movement and they could present the right kind of a movement and meet other industries half way, that things could be sealed in favor of all parties, he said it would like well organized counties, strong Association and good sound men at head. The credentials committee report was adopted. The Constitution by-laws committee reported and the constitution was adopted with a few minor amendments. . . .«* The resolution committee report *nd was placed on file. The following officers were elected: President, John G. Brown, Monon. First Vice-President, Dr. Hieman, Blackford. . Second Vice-President, Lewis Taylor, Newburg. . Ten directors were elected. The director from our district as J. W. Hickman, Lafayette. The Secretary and Treasurer will be elected by the Board of Directors. The organization as it now stands represents between 25,000 and 30,000 fanners.

DICTATORSHIP MUST BE OVERTHROWN.

The Republican Publicity Association, through its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., has given out the following statement from its Washington Headquarters: “Thia is a time for plain speaking, if individual liberty is to be maintained at home and national freedom maintained abroad. " While the President of the United States is in Europe trying to bind this nation to a league which, in the form proposed by him, surrenders the independence of the United States in several vital particulars, his Political Master General is proceeding at home in the usurpation of powers never intended to be conferred upon him by law. If the league of nations shall be formed with this country a party, on the plan proposed by President Wilson, our national future will be at the mercy of the varying interests of other nations in Europe and Asia. If Mr. Burleson can succeed m his high-handed effort to commit this county to paternalism or worse, on the absurd theory that his present action are essential to the winning of the war, then individual rights in this country are at the mercy of the varying political interests or whims of whoever happens to be temporarily vested with official authority. “Many people have been won to the support of the league of nations scheme by the false assertion that we must choose between that league and chaos. Many people have been induced to look with complacency upon usurpations in the form of seizures of telephone, telegraph and cable properties because those properties happen to be ownde by corporations and because it is falsely asserted that they acn be operated more economically and efficiently by government officials than by private managers. “According to the most plausible advices received from our secretive representatives in Europe, it is apparntly the plan to weave the league of nations into the peace treaty in such a way as to force its adoption without opportunity to consider it solely upon its own merits, thus practically nullifying that provision of the constitution which stipulates that treaties shall be made only bne advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senate. It is proposed to force adoption of an objectionable nder as an esseitianl incident to a desirable peace treaty. It is proposed in our domestic business affairs to scramble public utility concerns and destroy their separate organizations in such a way as to make restitution difficult if not impossible, and thus force the country to a policy of government ownership without regard to the judgment or wishes of the people or their representatives in Congress. “This is a plain statement of what is going on. It is subversion of that orderly procedure contemplated by the letter and spirit of the constitution and laws of the United States. The President and his Political Master General have set their wills above ' the law and the constitution, and ' propose to commit this government and its destinies to certain policies vitally menacng the future of the nation. , . , “If the President places the league of nations question before the Sen- ’ ate in such a form that it cannot be passed upon according to its own merits, aside from a question of peace with Germany, or if the Postmaster Genera) manipulates the proerty that has 'been committed to his control, under the guise of war necessity, in such a manner that the property cannot be returned to its owners, it will be the plain duty of the House of Representatives to present an impeachment against either er both, to be tried by the Senate in accordance with the letter and spirit of the constitution. “The vital question now before the country is whether this is a government by law or a government by men. Now is the time to settie it once and for all.”

LANDLORD’S EXPERIENCE WITH GLANDO Mr. Haushalter, the well known and energetic proprietor of the Hotel Paulding, Paulding, 0., said that for several years Me had suffered from a sluggish Bvar, backache and kidney trouble. Me felt so drowsy and languid he could scarcely drag. He says “I had tried a number of kidney pills and liver remedies but found no relief until I used Glando the Great Gland Tonic. It proved to be just what I needed. lam thoroughly convinced I would have been flat on my back if I had not used this treatment, but instead of being laid up I am feeling fine and looking after my business every day. If I feel any indication of my old trouble returning I take a Glando treatment and it puts me right.” Mr. Haushalter was dying of selfpoisoning caused by an inactive liver. This weakened the kidneys and other glands of the body. If he had not found * remedy that renewed glandular activity and removea the poison his life would undoubtedly have paid the penalty. Glando Tonic is the only remedy of its kind on the market and its numerous cures is proof .enoughof its great value to mankind. It is sold by druggists or will be sent direct by the Gland-Aid Co., Fort Wayne, Ind. Large treatment SI.OO.
