FIVE ACRE CORN CLUB GOING.

E. B. Moore, a farmer of near Frankfort, spent two days last week with the county crops committee working up a greater interest in the Five Acre Corn Club. Last year two men in Jasper county qualified for medals offered by the State Corn Growers Association, by growing over 75 bushels of corn per acre under supervision and the.crops com-, mittee expects to make a better showing this year. . “The five acre corn club has shown that high yields are profitable”, said Mr. Moore. “Our records show that the farmers who are producing 100 bushels of com. per acre are raising it at about one-half the .cpst per; bushel of ;men who are raising but 30 or 40 bushels per acre.” Enrollment in the County Five Acre Corn club is open to every member of the state com growers association. The County Betterment Association offers county prizes to the five men who-grow the.largest locally. The Corn Growers Association will present each who grows 100 bushels per -acre or’more with a gold medal; over 85 bushels a silver medal and over 75 bushels a bronze medal. >

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUN- = TY AGENT LEANING. To Develop Soils and Crops. A trial of different varieties of corn in every township in order to determine the “best” local variety was one of the fifteen lines of work planned by the county soils and crops committee March 28th. “In every locality” says W. H. Pullin, chairman of this committe, we find a dozen or more types of corn being grown. Every farmer believes his type the best but if we plant the varieties side by side in the field we can get-first hand information on the subject.” The committee will also push an investigation of the value t>f liming in the county, the use of soybeans with corn as a means of increasing feed and soil fertility. It will conduct eleven trials and demonstrations as to the value of acid phosphate, potash and manure combinations on the different soils of the country. The committee will, carry on an investigation of the value of Rosen Rye as a crop for the county and will test out the most promising varieties of wheat and will cpnduct trials to determine the cause and control of wheat scab and other grain diseases. Aside from the corn variety trials, the committee will have charge of the 5-acre Corn Club which has for its object the growing of the greatest number of bushels of corn per acre at the least expense. It will arrange for a country Cpm Show next winter and supervise 15 corn disease control trials.

One of the most important projects of the committee is an excursion to one or more farms within a radius of 75 miles where remarkable results have been secured, for the purpose of studying the methods employed. ’ FARMERS CLUB MEETS. President H. J. Dexter announces that the regular meeting of the North Union Farmers club will be held at Virgie, Saturday evening, April sth with the following program: Song—Old Folks at Home Everybody Recitation .... .Evelyn Harrington Recitation Rosa Reed Recitation .Leslie Wood Song-—Mickey Quartette Lecture — Monroe Doctrine and its relation to the League of Nations ... .M. L. Sterret Negro Selection. Liza & Sambo Long Intrumental Music• • ‘ • Mr. and Mrs, Hooper Advantage of a Stock Feeding Association -* • Learning Song—Till We Meet Again.... Quartette To Demonstrate Multiple Hitches Wayne Dinsmore, Secretary of the Percheron Society of America will give a state demonstration of various multiple hitches for the horses at Noblesville, April 9th. With a gradually growing realization of the fact that anything which enables one man to control more power offers a solution of many of the farm labor problems, farmers are taking greater interest in working great groups of horses together. At the present time few farmers are finding it practical to use more than four horses in a group and the advent of the tractor makes the power supplied by four horses seem small. Horse breeders have developed very practical methods of handling up to eight or ten horses as a unit and anyone who can get away can afford to attend the demonstration at Noblesville.

Floyd Griggs returned to Chicago Heights this morning. Charles Shaw went to Fair Oaks this morning. Mrs. Rice Porter went to Chicago on the early morning train. Mrs. A. H. McCoy, of Lowell, who had visited her sister, Mrs. James Lamson, returned to her home Thursday afternoon.
