CROP CONDITIONS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY PROMISING.

Through the courtesy of our friend, O. K. Rainier, and wife, we were privileged to have a delightful automobile ride Sunday afternoon over a considerable portion of Jasper and Newton counties. The 'ride was a delightful one because our hoste was an expert driver and handled his Cadillac eight with ah ease and grace that would make a winner of the speedway race jealous. In riding with O. K. one never needs take another’s dust. As soon as O. K. sees a car ahead of him he at once turns Lady Cadillac loose and in a short time 'has passed them and they are soon left in the rear. The crop conditions of Jasper and Newton counties in the territory traversed were never more promising. Corn is just a little late, but is growing rapidly and 'has a 'healthy color and with weather conditions continuing will be the normal size by the Fourth of July. There is a vast acreage of wheat, which is universally good and promises a banner yield. This, with the high price guaranteed by the government, will make the farmers of the counties have bank accounts far in excess, of those of any other year. This is not ideal oats weather, but that crop is looking very well, and the yield seems to promise an othy will yield a heavy crop. The people of this vicinity have every reason to be thankful for the promising outlook at hand.

MUCH RYE IN WHEAT FIELDS WILL COST FARMERS HEAVILY

Lafayette, Ind., June 9. —A large number of Indiana farmers will lose considerable of the profit on their wheat this year because of the prevalence of an unusually large amount Of rye, according to a statement by W. A. Ostrander, soils and crops specialist at Purdue university. Many are seeking to prevent this loss by going through the field now and cutting out the rye, and a great many more could follow the practice to their advantage, he declared. This should be done, if possible, before the grain ripens to prevent its seeding. “Any grain, which when free from dockage, contains more than ten per cent of grain of any kind or kinds other than wheat shall not be classified as wheat,” reads a section of the federal grain grading act, which is to. be rigidly efiforced hereafter throughout the country. “This means,” said Mr. Ostrander, “that if a man brings in wheat which shows ten per cent of rye or any other grain in it after threshing, as "much of it will, he will have to let it go at the dealers’ price. All the grain will be bought according to grade and it will be necessary for the grower to have less than six per cent •of rye or other grain in his wheat if he is to get what it is worth.” The standardization of grain will give the grower who produces clean wheat a premium for his product and the man who markets the poorer crops will be forced to take just What such grain is worth.

LIVESTOCK MEN TO TOUR

JASPER COUNTY PURE BRED STOCK TO BE INSPECTED. Thursday, June 26th, is the date of the county livestock tour, according to an announcement of Joseph Kolhoff, chairman of the sub-commit-ee of the Jasper County Betterment association, which has the matter in charge. The party, which everyone is invited to join, will leave the court house at 9 o’clock, standard time, and travel over a route designed to reach representative herds of the different breeds of livestock found in the county. Special care has been used in the selection of the route and the committee promises a surprise to the tourists as to the quality of the livestock that ithey will see. A staff of livestock experts will be carried, the members of which will point out the good and bad points of individual animals and systems of livestock management as the farms are visited. Representatives of Purdue university, commission houses and breed associations are expected to be in attendance. A basket picnic at noon, in a grove especially selected for the purpose, will be one of the events of the day. There has never been a period in the history of the county when livestock production has made more progress than in the past two or three years. The purpose of the trip is to investigate the methods of caring for good livestock, show appreciation for the work of these constructive breeders and to arouse an interest in good stock. The’tour ds not alone for farmers, but business houses are planning to be represented and it is hoped that there will be a general attendance among both farmers and- merchants and that the event will take the form of a general get-together day.

THOUSANDS OF SHRINERS INVADE INDIANAPOLIS.

Thousands of Shriners, coming from all points of the United States, arrived in Indianapolis Saturday and Sunday to attend the meeting of the Shriners in that city this week. The city has taken on a gorgeous hue in honor of the thousands of visitors, and the bewildering array of color of the costumes worn by the sons of the desert lends a beautiful touch to the scene. Temples from such distant points as Washington, Oregon, Arkansas, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina and Louisiana are already in attendance. Every state in the union will be represented at the meeting and it is expected that the attendance this year will be the largest in the history of the order. Members of the order are more conservative in their estimate of the number than are the visitors. Visitors are declaring that 100,000 Shriners will be in Indianapolis, exclusive of the visitors who come merely to watch the antics.
