THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEANING. . 2~T^ZS' Community Building Project Geta Boost The idea, of a county community building received a distinct boost test Saturday When the mid-winter gathering of farmers at the courthouse endorsed the idea and appointed a committee of three, headed by R. A. Parkison, to bring the matter before the people. Various speakers called attention that the facilities for holding public meetings of all kinds at the county seat are very meager at the present time and that there is a demand for some place that can be utilized to house public and semi-public gatherings. The committee should receive the enthusiastic support of all persons interested in the development ot the county.

The gathering also voted to cooperate with the county board of education to the selection of -a new agricultural agent and to asaist in financing ths„ office. It was generally considered that the meeting was one of the best ever ’held by the county associS' tlon. Poultry Association Is Flourishing The Jasper County Poultry association is in the best condition that it has been, in years, according" tn the report of Secretary Max Kepner, read at the annual meeting, held earlier in the week. After f aying the bills for the Ohow, a small balance remains to the treasuajv The association plans to put cu an active membership campaign and enlist the support of every breeder in the county for the show next year. A committee was appointed to revise the catalog and premium list. Hog Costs Show Close Margin The feed cost of producing hoga atntbe hreseat ‘ time is about. per 100 pounds, according to the records of W. C. Dooley, who operates 500 acres in Walker township and- who has been keeping a fairly; close tab on all pf his feeding operations this seadon. Mr. Dooley’s method of producing pork is to give the hogs the run ob timothy and durihg' the dummbr, and feeding a ratton of oom and jtankage in addition. He sows rape in the onto and as soon ae crop is o«. tte rape is pastured by the hogs. Soybeans are-sown . wlih the corn and rape is sown In. the conn fields at the last eultivtatlon, the hogs being turned into this mixture in the fall. f ,Wh«i it becomes «bcesoM7 to piaae the .tows to the dry lot, the hogs follow cattle add receive a ration of corn, ground oats and tanhage. ThW htothod ot (handling the hogs wiU be recognised as very efficient and It is doubtful if cheaper methods can be developed for Jasper county farms. With hogs selling locally for from >l3 to |l4 per cwt it will be seen that even under the beet of conditions hog producers are not receiving very antusli for their labor, «**’„ the investment and all the otnerfactors which enter into toe. cost of pdtk production. < Indicate that there Is a Ohance for a slight profit to hog growing at the present l**®®"’ tout Bo hart ’ methods of feeding and management are absolutely sssrnkM Wttto Hdfit

THE PROPOSED CHURCH MERGER

Church union is a subject that has been Inuch discussed for many &««« taken that while it Would be an admirable thing it Was and not practicable. Nevertheless, the idea.has grown and at last a movement has been started looking to merger.” The conference delegate from 20ff denomination* called by terian church to meet at Philadelphia next month will consider a proposal for a national merger of Christian interests under the name of the United Church of America. Exactly what form the merger will if such action is agreed upon,.can hot, of course, be known now, but the proposal is to form a council elected by the supreme bodies of the various denominations, two ministerial and two lay delegates 'being suggested as representatives of each 100,000 communicants. The plan is to retain the present denominational organizations, but the constitution outlined by" the promoters of the un-

The council will accept the ordination and doctrinal views of the Evangelistical churches.
