YOU MAY HAVE TURKEY AND YOU MAY NOT

Well, you may be lucky and hav< a turkey dinner Thanksgiving Daj and then again you may have stuf .fed goose, fried chicken or roasi duck. Turkeys are not plentiful in these parts this year and the demand is said to be greater than ever. As a matter of fact the adrcity of turkeys is rather due to the vanishing fowl than to any othei consideration. According to Prof G. A. Phillips, of the poultry husbandry department, Purdue University, turkey raising is becoming an increasingly expensive and questionable problem, the discouraging feature being a disease known as blackhead, the ravages of which among the younger gobblers have sadly depleted the flocks. “It is this disease and not the price that is holding down production,” said Prof. Phillips. The malady is said to be particularly prevalent in New England and only those flocks which are raised in the wild ranges of Texas and Kentucky seemed to be spared. The supply of chickens seems plentiful although the market for dpeks and geese it still a doubtful quantity. Reports from southern Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri indicate that the turkey supply to be matured by Thanksgiving will be lighter than last year, but will be overbalanced by a heavier crop from Texas, Mississippi and other southern states. The army and navy will use fewer turkeys this year than in the. past and the demand from that source will be much lighter. The demand from the army and navy wat said to be a strong factor in the advance of turkey prices during war times.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS.

Car® of Pullot®. Move pullets into winter quarters before they begin to lay, the United States Department of Agricultural advises. ' All should be in winter quarters before cold weather. See that the henhouse is disinfected and that it is tight on three sdies and that there is no chance for a draft to strike the hens while on their roosts. x Feed for Hens in Winter. r Good kinds of green feeds for hens in winter are sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, chopped alfalfa and clover hay, cabbages, and mangel beets. Cabbages may be hung up in the poultry house; the beets are usually, split and stuck on a nail on the side wall of the pen about a foot above the floor to keep the feed clean. Keep oyster shells, grit, charcoal, and plenty of clean drinking water before the hens all the time. Giving Your Boy th® Right Start. Send the little people to the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago. It will exert a more captivating influence than a circus and‘prove infinitely more profitable. Give your boy an opportunity to develop an appreciation' Of animal life as exemplified by the best types there displayed. The experience will be a valuable asset to nis education in an auxiliary sense, broad; ening his vision end adding materially to his store of knowledge of such matters as the school-room cannot afford. Every boy should be afforded this opportunity. And the little girls are equally attracted by such displays. Refine-

ment of character is promoted by such -a study at close range of domestic animals as is possible nowhere else. The “International” irirtgs the wonders of the ‘barnyard and the pasture under conditions calculated to anchor the observation thus made possible. The evening entertainment is absorbingly interesting to the younger generation. Let them see the parades, enjoy the exhilarating influence of. the music and a color scheme without a rival, trials of driving and riding skill and equipage displays fiot to be seen anywhere else.

The little people are entitled to a day or an evening at the Live Stock Exposition, November 27 to December 4, and you do them an injustice by depriving them of the opportunity. The 1920 Interactional Liv® Stock Exposition. In the travail of a great industry an* event of supreme importance will' develop at Chicago the first week of December. It is the twen-ty-first anniversary of the International Live Stock Exposition.-and twill be staged this year on an unprecedented scale, both as concerns numbers and merit. North America at the conclusion pf the European war was in possession of bovine and ovine seed stock of incalculable value and the uppertendom of the impending meat scarcity, the problem of replenishing the national larder is of more importance than ever at this juncture. Live stock in common with other industries has passed through a period of deflation and re-adjust-ment. The new basis of production ebst interest is reviving and will accentuate as the fact becomes apparent that within the nett five rears there will not be enough >eef, pork or mutton produced in the United States to maintain prewar consumption.

Profit in live stock production hereafter will depend on quality. The function of the “International” is improvement of the herds and flocks of the country—a task to which the agrarian interest must now address itself vigorously. On this account the 1920 display possesses more than usual interest, concerning not only producers but consumers.

As a spectacle of animal life this year’s “International” will exceed in scope and magnificence all former efforts in the snow ring on this continent or Europe. More closely associated than ever before are live stock and grain production problems; hence this year’s corn show, made possible by a liberal donation from the Chicago Board of Trade, will be staged on a more extensive scale than last year. Com makes live stock raising possible; without live stock “King Corn” would be jninus a stout prop. Every up-to-date farmer should attend the 1920 International Live Stock Expostiion at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, November 27 to December 4.

Farmers' Federation Meeting. On Saturday afternoon, November 13, twenty-five officers of the Jasper County Farmers’ Federation met in a business session in the county agent’s office. It was * a very enthusiastic and interesting meeting. The most important business of note was that of settling up the’bill of Mr. C. 8. Masterson and other minor bills, and the setting of dates for the regular township meetings which will be published later. It was also voted that the county farmers’ federation send the president, Mr. Russell Van Hook, to tiie state convention which was held on Monday and Tuwday, November 15 and 16. Mr. Van Hook reports that a very good meeting was held and a more detailed information will be furnished by Messrs. Joe Kolhoff and John Farrabee, the delegates from this county, who were also in attendance at the convention. Heselaa Fly.

after the fly free date. The fly, however, was found to be only in the larva stage and according to Mr. W. A. Ostrander, who was here Tuesday, November 16, for the purpose of measuring up the 5-acre corn plots, undoubtedly this long continued freeze would kill the larva but if it* was in. the flax seed stage this freeze would have no affect on it.

PROMINENT PEOPLE MAY BE CALLED UPON TO EXPLAIN

We are informed thru reliable sources that certain prominent local citizens, and others, may be called । upon, to explain before Judge Banley their persistent ravings concerning one of our leading stores having been profiteering, the owner arrested, fined, etc., etc., etc. - - /• This store, for several weeks, has tolerated this malignant and malicious gossip but there is a limit to ' all reasonable things and a time when patience ceases to be a virtue and we are informed that arrests 'are about to be made. Wonder what these people will say to the Court? It may be embarassing both mentally and financially to have to publicly ackowledge an imagination consistent with that of a child of six. It is indeed regrettable that mature men, seemingly possessing normal intelligence, indulge in idle gossip of this nature and if some of our prominent citizens are yanked into Court to explain how they happen to all these things—it certainly will be that which they deserve. What do you consider the type of person who is willing to destroy a reputation of honest and clean dealing by repeating a Will-’o-the- । wisp rumor? Reputations are buOd- ; cd by the years, and who is willing to destroy this work without unquestioned and absolute facta to support their statements?—Contributed.
