DECEPTION IN FARM FERTILIZER

FARMERS WARNED TO KEEP _ EYES OPENED AND TO ASK ADVICE. E. C. Proulx, state chemist, of Purdue, issues a warning concerning fertilizers that should be heeded by every purchaser. He states that last year Indiana farmers bought 244,446 tons, paying over $8,000,000 for it and that more than half of this tonnage was considered low grade and contained relatively small amounts of plant food, nitrogen, water soluble potash and phosphoric acid. Mr. Proulx claims that an equal amount of plant food could have been obtained at a saving of $813,184, if it had been high grade instead of low grade material. Fertilizer' is now generally used and every farmer gives some attention to the particular needs of his soil, and he should find what furnishes the desired plant food the 1 cheapest, Mr. Proulx furnishes some interesting figures to sustain his claim that in buying cheap grade fertilizers the farmer is making a great mistake, for the high grade fertilizer pays a less proportionate part of the .overhead charges of the and seller.. He insists that the combined saving in Indiana in a year would exceed a million dollars if the high and not the low grade was purchased.

Ripley county farmers are trying out lime stone experiments with good results and tbecause of satisfactory results obtained the past year one township has ordered five, tons of lime* for soil treatment. County Agent Calvin Griffith is active in the campaign. The high cost of leather is resulting in greater care of it and reports show that shoes, harness, etc., that are cleaned and oiled will wear twice as long as otherwise. Castor oil, lightly applied to dress shoes at night and removed the next day before polishing, has a good effect, while on work shoes neat’s foot oil is the best. Harness should be washed with tepid water and neutral Soap and dried slightly before oiling with neat’s foot or castor oil. Tallow may he mixed with the oils with good results. Dean Skinner, of Purdue agricuh tural college, reports the greatest interest in the history of the school and probably the largest freshman class .the school ever had. Farmers realize that the methods employed and the courses followed give great advantage and there is an enlivened interest in the short courses each year.

Do you keep a plentiful supply of pure, fresh water always available for your chickens? Nothing is more important for them. Wash their drinking vessels. Yon may ' save a lot of disease from attacking them. The wise dairyman fall feeds his cows. If they go into the winter in poor flesh it will mean a reduced flow of milk. The extra feed now will not only mean more milk now but will put the cow in better shape to go through the winter and aid the production during the entire year. Get the cow barn as comfortable as possible just as soon as you can find time. It will help in production as well as being the proper thing to do. * , The Orange County Sheep Breeders’ association recently adopted resolutions urging the eradication of scrub sires, putting their sanction on the plan started last March at the livestock rally in Indianapolis. Members of the Oxford Pig club in Benton county are making a great showing. Pigs weighing fifty pounds I were distributed about ninety days j ago and today many of them weigh ' nearly 200 pounds. Many Benton county farmers are sowing small patches of alfalfa this year for the first time. They are preparing good seed beds, liming the soil and innoculating the seed.

Eighty-eight culls were removed from flocks of chickens totalling 350 in Hancock county during a recent culling demonstration. 0 Residents of the Idaville community, White county, have started plans for a week’s conference during which representatives of the Purdue university extension department, state library commission and public health board will speak and discuss with the residents working plans for a community betterment* association. Rock phosphate shows excellent results on the black soils of Benton county. Tn One neighborhodd where three car loads were' applied last* year five will be used this season. Ten interested farmers of Clark county and' Jeffersonville business men are arranging to starte a purebred dairy calf club. Interest in better dairy cattle has been stimulated" by the work of the Clark-Jen-nings Cow Testing association and the calf club has been chosen as one of the avenues to improve the dairy herds.

C. W. FAIRBANKS OWNED THE NEWS

LONG CONCEALED HOLDINGS DISCLOSED BY A SUPPLEMENTAL INVENTORY. It has just become known that former vice-president 'Charles Warren Fairbanks held three-fourths of the stock of the Indianapolis News, his. holdings in the paper being valued at a million and a half dollars. Delavan Smith, a relative of the dead vice-president, was presumed to have been the largest stockholder. The property was not listed with the first inventory following the probating of the will and was filed as a supplementary report last week. The will of the late vice-president is receiving further notoriety by the effort to break it. His daughter, Mrs. Adelaide F. Timmons, has sued to set the will asjde, alleging that her father was of unsound mind. She states that her father had planned to leave $500,000 for ’the erection of a memorial to his late wife, but that will only provided $50,000. She alleges that her. brothers, Frederick and Warren drafted the will after her father was so weakened that he was unable to comprehend its provisions.

GLASS SAYS TREASURY IS GETTING ON ITS FEET.

Washington, Sept. 7.—‘Fiscal operations of the government have.developed so favorably, Secretary Glass announced today, that all outstanding treasury certificates maturing prior to 1920 have been provided for from cash in bank and income and profits taxes due Sfept. 15 and Dec. 15, leaving an ample balance in the general fund. As a result the semi-monthly issuance of treasury certificates will not he resumed before Oct'. 15, two series of tax certificates being sub--15, and the " first Issue, maturing March 15, 1920, will hear’’interest of 4 1-4 per cent, while the other will mature ,Sept. 15, 1920, with 4 1-2 per cent interest. It is the first time in more than a year, that government obligations have been r offered at less than 4 1-2 per cent interest. Government expenditures in August exceeded ordinary receipts by less than $500,000,000. This month, because of tax payments, a similar balance will be placed on the other side of the ledger, which; with the favorable response throughout the country to the. financing operations of the treasury, lead Mr. Glass to declare “the turn of the tide has come.”

MANY SOLDIERS RESPONDED

HOME COMING CELEBRATION AT DELPHI WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS. Apropos to the proposed home coming celebration for Jasper county soldiers the report has been circulated that similar attempts have been failures in other places and this report has disconcerted those interested in the plans here. However, the remarkable success attained in Delphi recently gives a fine assurance that the boys will gather together and make the affair a big success if rightly planned and the proper amount of entertainment furnished. Out of about 560 soldiers from Carroll county there were 384 responded and the parade was probably the best feature of the big celebration. It was in the shape of a historical pageant, showing first the native American Indians, then the landing of Columbus, the landing of the pilgrims, the declaration hf independence, ““surrender of Cornwallis, the coming of all nations to America, the “growth of the nation, the emancipation of the negro, the help to Cuba and the Philippines, thq call of Europe for help, America’s answer, peace, our nation under the new democracy. It is remarkable the genius with which the committees worked out the picturing of these things in parades, floats, etc. For the American Indians, which constituted the first section of the parade, consisted of the Red Men’s order. A float representing the Santa Marie represented the landing of Columbus, another float represented the Mayflower landing pilgrims quaintly dressed in the costumes of that day. Another float contained a table and colonial patriots were signing the declaration of 1 independence. The section representing the coming of all nations to America showed emigrants as Chinese, Japs, Dutch, Jews, Slavs, Italians, French,' etc. The growth of the nation was shown by floats of primitive schools, churches, etc., and then by modern schools, colleges, churches and agricultural and industrial displays. Then came the liberation of the slaves with Lincoln casting the shaekles off the negro. This was followed by automobiles carrying the heroes of the great civil war. Flags of that war were shown

and soldiers in 'blue and gray in. a firm handclasp occupied one float. The surrender of Lee to Grant was shown. Then came a float showing the Cuban negro under the lash of t.he Spaniard and followed 'by survivors of the Spanish-American war. Then the appeal ofFurope, with a tall girl in a tattered dress representing Belgium. Around her were twelve smaller Belgian girls all showing the appeal for American aid. Maimed French and English soldiers were represented. Then came America’s answer with the world war soldiers .sailors and marines in uniform. There were also the Red Cross, the Y. M. G. A., the lK.bfC..SalvafionAnny r ,aird I foodr clubs, liberty bond committees, etc. Then came the happy celebration of peace, followed by an industrial parade. There was a big dinner at noon, band concert, speaking, singing, etc., in the afternoon. At night there was a soldiers’ dance on the public square and this feature was of special interest, the dancing being on the concrete streets. It is probable there are enough war souvenirs in the possession of soldiers to make a great display and that soldiers would loan, them for the occasion. It is also probable that \the interest of the soldiers could'be secured through the American Legion, now being formed and for whjlch there is to be an active campaign to secure the membership

PUT STOCKINGS ON COWS TO GET MORE MILK.

Hope for cheaper milk is seen as a result of the discovery made by Joseph Herrman, overseer of the poor farm at Alton, 111., that by covering the legs of his cows with stockings at milking time he has increased his output of milk one quart per cow per day. The discovery has aroused neighboring farmers and the industry bids fair to thrive during “nreTeniatiKter of iter afly r seaßpgF

It might also be possible to demosntrate some of the flexing games that figured in the physical development of the soldiers.
