THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEAMING.

Poultry Association to Hold Meeting Jesse Snyder, president of the Jasper County Corn and Poultry association, has called a meeting of that organization to be held at the court house at 9 o’clock on the evening of next Thursday, July 3, for the purpose of formulating plans for the next winter’s exhibition. A movement is on foot to enlarge the organization and hold the official state Barred Rock meet in Rensselaer. Special consideration is being given the corn show, in view of its rapid growth the last ,ew years. A full attendance of members and others interested is desired. Fertilizer prices Should Be Lower This Fall The department of agriculture has announced that it has reached an .agreement with the manufactur"ers' of mixed fertilizers whereby these goods • should sell next fall for about 30% less than the prices of last spring. A schedule has been issued showing the maximum f. o. b. prices at which the principal fertilizer grades at the three great centers of fertilizer distribution, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Carteret, N. J., to dealers and to farmers ordering 30-ton lots may be , The matter of supply and prices of unmixed fertilizer material available to farmers for direct application to soil or for home mixing is still under investigation by the de partment and an of the agreements is expected soon. Livestock Men Will Picnic Everyone interested in better livestock in general and in Hereford cattle and Spotted Poland China hogs in particular is invited to become the guest of the Quality Stock farm near Parr on the afternoon of June 29, at an outdoor gathering in the interests of these breeds." . - Livestock experts from various parts of the state are expected to he in attendance and a" grofitable afternoon is anticipated for all whq attend. Army Worm History •. On account of the widespread interest in the army worm at this time, the following brief description of the life history of this insect Is published: The army worm belongs to a large family of insects known as the -noctuidae, or night flyers. Grass lands being its natural home, it is present to a limited extent every year. The mature insects are dull brown moths, having a peculiar white spote on the center of each front wing. The body of the adult moth is about threefourths of an inch in length. Th* eggs, which are usually laid on the terminal leaf sheath on grasses and grains are small, globular and white. The eggs are deposited in straw stack bottoms, hay ricks, old corn shocks, and even two-year-old corn stalks lying on the ground in the meadow. A single female lays from 500 to 700 eggs, wmcn accounts for the rapid increase ot the worms under favorable tions. ■; _ . The eggs hatch in eight or ten davs After feeding on. anything of' succulence, the larva is grown in 25 or 30 days, attaining a length of one and one-half of two inches. When- young they travel like a measuring worm, are dark, nakeu caterpillars with longitudinal stripes running the full length of the body. A very marked broad stripe on each side is Characteristic. The pupa stage, which lasts about two weeks, is.passed on rubbish on the ground. The adult emerges and begins to lay eggs again in 6 or 8 days. There are usually three broods during the season. • The combination of trenches and bran poison are proving entirely successful in handling these dangerous pests. Check Up the Oats Smut This Week| Now is ike time to check up on the results of the use of the formaldehyde treatment on the oats to determine whether or not it was profitable in preventing smut By stooping down in the fields of grain, one may get a fair idea> of the degree of infestation. As usual, treated fields are showing much less smut than those which have been left untreated and it seems but a matter of time before smut prevention will "be a common farm operation. Farmers Issue a Paper The first number of the Organized Farmer, the official publication of the Indiana Federation es Farmers’ association, has made its appearance. The number is a fine example of what Indiana farmers can do in the field of literature as well as a faithful record of the aims and accomplishments of the state federation.

CLOUD GROWS EVER BLACKER

FOE STALLING ON THE PEACE QUESTION AS FOCH PREPARES TO STRIKE? Berlin, June 25.—Herman Mueller, the new foreign minister, the Tageblatt says, is inclined to go to Versailles to sign the peace treaty. Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, it is added, has resigned the chief command of the army. Major von Gilsa, Noske’s adjutant, denies German army officers have been resigning as a protest against acceptance of the peace terms. Nevertheless, it is said, regular army officers will oppose vigorously the surrender of their former leaders. The situation created by their attitude has become acute and those in. touch with the situation fear it may result in serious complications, both for the cabinet and for the nation. Plot to Kill Ex-Premier, , A number of soldiers have been arrested in Weimar, according to a dispatch, on charges of having planned to arrest and murder Philip Sdheidemann, former premier. Feeling among military leaders is still running high, notwithstanding they are admonishing the troops to con ti nue in” the service. - Maj.-Gen. Baron von Luettwitz, in a special call, iterates his opposition to the peace terms, while Maj. von Gilsa has announced Prussian War Minister Heinhart “will endeavor to defend the menaced honor of the army and its leaders by the adoption of special measures.” Erzberger Loses Prestige. Correspondents at Weimar are unanimous in the belief that the prestige of Mathias Erzberger has been damaged by his mysterious but emphatic assurances that the entente would be willing to yield on the honor issue, which failed to materialize. , ' Herr Erzberger’s position is a subject of much speculation and it is believed that as soon as the peace crisis is passed he faces a rather trying period. . Germany is faced with a national railroad strike for higher wages. At the Gorlitz station, Berlin, service has been stopped in both, directions. The Breslau service has been badly interrupted. , The government is negotiating m an endeavor to halt the strikes, which are largely the outcome of communistic propaganda. Riot Against Eating Cats. Copenhagen, June 25.—Serious rioting occurred at Hamburg Monday and Tuesday, when mobs attacked food preserving factories, it having been alleged the bodies of dogs and cats had been found in them. The managers were dragged to the * streets and roughly handled. The war provision department also was attacked and its offices were wrecked. The mob tried to disarm trodps marching through the streets and the latter opened fire and a number of persons were killed and several wounded,

REMODELING OF CLUB ROOMS BEGINS MONDAY.

The remodeling of the Van Rensselaer club rooms will commence next Monday morning, and the contract for the carpenter work has jeen let to Riley and Jess Snyder, of this city, who expect to complete their work some time in September. They will be followed by the decorators, who expect to add the finishing touches the -latter part of October. Plans for the remodeling were carried out to the minutest detail oy the building committee and the rooms will be modern in every respect, being especially adapted for the entertaining of a large number of visitors. There will be a large dance hall, reading room, billiard room and a -balcony (between the irst and second floors, which wijl t»e for the use of orchestras employed for dances and other entertainments. It wilF also be possible to serve banquets in the dance hall to a great many, the necessary facilities for the serving of such being contained in the building plans. The building committee has given much time and consideration to the construction of the plans and feels that when the remodeling is done Rensselaer will have quarters that will not be surpassed by any organization of its character in the state. Organized in 1911 by a few ligh school. boys, the club -lived. to jass through several stages, growing ittle by little each year until it is now assured of being a permanent institution. Each member is proud of the fact that he has helped to make it a success and it is probable that the membership will be greatly increased in the months to come with the enlargement of the present cramped quarters.

SOME NOISY NIGHT AT THE OLD GARDEN.

New York, June 25.—With but six more days to go before the nation goes dry—-unless President Wilson intervenes —carpenters began work today at the Madison Square garden on the largest bar the. world ever saw.

An admittance fee of $2 to keep out the “roughnecks” will be charged and theatrical performers will put on a show while the ticket holders hook their elbows over a real bar for tfce last time. '

WETS ARE HAVING RIOTOUS TIME AT WEST HAMMOND.

Hammond, Ind., July 25.—Two West Hammond, 111., policemen were nearly beaten to death last midnight by riotous Indianians, whom they had arrested. The authorities there have asked the Cook county sheriff for deputies to aid in subduing Hammond, Gary and East Chicago denizens, who have invaded the wet territory to get liquor until the country grows dry. Some of the saloons were stormed by mobs of men who have quit work in the Calumet district factories to celebrate in a wild seven-day orgie. While attempting' to arrest three disorderly Hoosiers, John O’Donnell, a Gary workman, as said to have headed a crowd of millmen who tore clubs from Officers Kulcyk arid Wojowski, beat them into insensibility j and stabbed them with knives. The |milhrnen then escaped.

DEATH CAME SUDDENLY

TO MISS BERNICE RHODES DAVISSON AT HOME IN ,HUME, ILLINOIS. The entire community was shocked this Thursday morning to learn of the death at Hume, Hl., Wednes* day of Mrs. A. H. Davisson, formerly Miss Bernice Rhodes, of this city, and a daughter of Mrs. E. S. Rhodes. Death came suddenly and without warning, and the cause is unknown. Mrs. Rhodes was in her usual health Wednesday morning, but shortly after the noon hour had a fainting spell and never regained consciousness, death following eight hours later. On Tuesday she had written her mother in this city, but there was nothing in the letter to give the slightest indication that she was ill. Mrs. Davisson spent her entire lifetime in this city prior to her marriage a few years ago, and since that .time she.hadpaid frequent visits here. She was graduated from the Rensselaer schools in the class of 1914, and was recognized as one of the most brilliant scholars ever to finish the school course here. She possessed characteristics which are equalled by but few and her death coming so early in life is indeed a blow to her relatives and friends. She was born in 1893 and was twenty-six years of age when death occurred. Deceased is survived by her husband and one child; her smother, Mrs. E. S. Rhodes, of this city; two brothers, Donald and Edward, also of this city, besides other relatives and friends. The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but the remains will be brought to this city for burial.
