FROM HERE AND THERE IN INDIANA

Sixty-three settings of pure-bred eggs have been issued to Vigo County boys and girls as the start fqr a poultry club. The Manilla pig club contest, started recently with 14 boys and 3 girls, enrolled from two townships in Rush county, is creating a great deal of interest in that part । of the county. The Manilla bank; will award .SSO in prizes to each) township this fall, when the contest will close with a show at Manilla. —o — P. W. Clifford, a Porter county farmer, recently paid $2,000 for a pure-bred Holstein bull in Massachusetts. The bull’s six nearest dams averaged over 35 pounds of butter fat in seven days. Such bulls as these will mean much in the improvement of live stock m Indiana. Ten boys living in Noble county embarked in the swine business May 8, when barrows were distributed to them for the club feeding contest in which they have enrolled for this summer. The boys’ corn club in Vanderburg county is well organized this year with 15 members, some of whom expect to go into the business of growing pure-bred seed corn. i - The agricultural committee of the Salem Commercial Club and the Washington county fair association, co-operating with the county agent, have made plans for a coun-ty-wide pig feeding contest this summer, to end at the county fair in the fall when the fat porkers will be placed and cash prizes given the winners in each breed and also sweepstakes -winners. Each boy who enters the contest will be given a season ticket to the fairgrounds and permitted to stay there during the week.

WEATHER Generally fair today and Friday. Moderate temperature.

SUFFRAGE IS AGAIN BAFFLED

DELEWARE FAILS TO RATIFY—ANOTHER STATE STILL NEEDED TO GIVE WOMEN VOTE Dover, Del;, June 2.-—Despite the appeal of President Wilson and other national democratic and republican leaders for the .ratification of the woman suffrage federal amendment, the Delaware legislature adjourned sine die today with the ratification resolution still in the house committee of the whole to which it was referred last Friday. Shortly before adjournment a motion by Representative Lyons, majority" floor leader, to force th 4 house into committe of the *hole to consider the resolution was defeated, 24 to 10. Whep the vote was announced antisuffrage leaders started a demonstration. The legislature was called in special session by Governor Townsend March 22 to ratify the suffrage amendment, • which action would have given the women of the nation the right to vote. There were many spirited contests during the ten weeks that the fight lasted.

LOUISIANA’S ACTION.

Baton, Rouge, La., June 2.— Passage by the house of the Louisiana legislature today of a bill to amend the state constitution to give women the right to vote was hailed by anti-suffragists tonight as indicating the defeat of the federal ratification resolution. Supporters of federal ratification,’ however, refused to concede defeat. The vote on the state amendment bill was, 93 to 17, far in excess of the necessary two-thirds. Those favoring ratification of the federal amendment for the most part have opposed the state amendment bill.

ON TO CHICAGO.

Washington, June 2.—The national woman’s party tonight sent an appeal to 5,000 suffragists in the middle west, urging them to take part in a demonstration of protest in Chicago Tuesday, the opening day of the republican national convention, against the Delaware’s legislature’s failure to ratify the suffrage amendment. Those unable to go to Chicago were asked -to contribute toward paying the expense of staging the demonstration. Miss Alice Paul, national chairman of the woman’s party, who signed the appeal, announced that the demonstration probably would be in the form of a line of women in front of the convention hall “with banners of protest.” The party announced it would center on legislators in Vermont and Connecticut, in an effort to get one of them to ratify the suffrage amendment before »the November election. Efforts will be made, it was declared, to get the governors of these two states to call special legislative sessions.

INDIANA MILK WORTH $100,000,000 YEARLY

■' • Il (Data compiled by Purdue University shows big gain in Dairying) Lafayette, Ind., June B.—Although Indiana is probably fourth or fifth in the list of dairy states, figures gathered by the dairy department of Purdue University show that approximately 2,908,000,000 pounds of milk, worth $100,000,000 in round numbers, were produced in the state last year. The production figures represent an increase of 26 percent in the last four years. All the data is based on reports to the creamery license division ■by the manufacurers and on data gathered by the extension department dairymen. Last year a total of 43,200,846 pounds of creamery butter were made in this state against 37,174,057 the year before. The amount of condensed milk made increased from 29,574,337 pounds to 32,517,841 pounds in one year. A total of 6,371,370 gallons of ice cream were madd in 1919 and 1,002,320,000 pounds of milk were used for direct consumption, while 580,500,522 or its equivalent were shipped out of the state. The only products which have shown a decrease in production are cheese and dairy butter. The former has decreased since 1914 from 2,119,220 pounds to 678,522 pounds and the annual production of dairy jutter has dropped from a half lillion pounds to 20,500,000. Creamery butter and condensed milk have shown the greatest increase in production.

The number of milk cows on the 'aims is gradually increasing, 727,)00 being reported for last year, a gain of 27,000 over 1918, and of 87,000 since 1914. The value of milk to the producer has gone up 'rom $1.50 in 1914 to $3.45 in 1919, due to the greatly increased cost of production. The creamery license division has cept careful records of the production of butterfat in Washington county for the last two years. Practically all of the fat produced in that county is shipped from station to factories where it is made into creamery butter. In 1918, the stations of this county bought 488,379.9 pounds of fat and in 1919, 771,704.3 pounds. The number of cream buying stations increased he past year from 19 to 37 and he amount purchased by each sta;ion during the year was nearly as much as in 1918. All counties n southern Indiana have increased heir dairy products materially.
