AGRICULTURAL NEWS.

There will he a tractor demonstration held on Mr. GanglofFs farm one mile east of Rensselaer, Tuesday, Sept. 14, 1020, beginning at 1:00 o’clock p. m. Entries of four standard makes of tractors and probably more up to the present time. Mr. Herath has the Case tractor; the Central Sales Co., the Fordson; Walter ft Kuboske, the Rumley oil pull: and Mr. Callahan the International and Samson. We are trying to secure a judge from Purdue so that the meet may be the best that we have ever had. This is being put on for the benefit of the farmers and since this is the case, please take advantage of this meet and come and bring others;Tell your neighbor for fear he may forget. Boys Judging Team. The team from Jasper county as well as the other counties of the state sure got a work-out in the state judging contest at Indianapolie Tuesday, Sept. 7. They had to place and write reasons on five rings of stock in the forenoon and only had to make placings of the stock in the afternoon. It is not known as yet how our boys came out. But considering the short time of preparation the boys showed up good with the rest of the boys. They learned a great deal from the contest and I wish all the boys in the county between the ages of 16 and 20 inclusive, could have had the same experience these boys had. Farmers Federation. With the beginning of the organization of the township units of the county, out at the south Marion consolidated school house, it is hoped that every farmer will attend these meetings and hear Mr. Mlasterson the whirlwind organizer. Notice the adv. in the papers and learn and remember when your township is to be organized. Make this movement a succes now farmers for it is for you, but this can not be attained unless you put your efforts into the ring and help get that knock-out blow. This is real important to you and I, as County Agent of your county, urge that you help the state organizer, Mr. Masterson. If we fail it is because we lack enthusiasm in helping him. Other cpunties and states report that they are making a success with their organization, also accomplishing great things or are making plans to make things count in the future if not now. Remember . that there are 25 volunteer memberships paid in now and more promised. Pure Seed Wheat. Many farmers • are looking up the pure bred wheat with the best quality and are going to sow late and profit by last year’s disaster of sowing early. Sow after the 24th and 26th and you will get by the fly. The volunteer Wheat in all the fields ought to be destroyed or the fly will infest it and cause trouble next spring. Cora Demonstration. We will soon hold a Corn demonstration on .Garland Grant’s farm west of town which will prove to us that one ear will produce.more corn, than another. This will be held during corn shucking time.
