GREATER YIELD OF WHEAT IN INDIANA

Object of Grain Dealers and Millers

Who Plan Campaign to Improve

Conditions.

Indiana is not raising as much wheat as she should and steps toward looking into this matter were taken Friday afternoon at the midsummer meeting- of the Indiana Grain Dealers' Association at Indianapolis. A special committee is to be named by the Grain Dealers' Association to co-op-erate with a similar committee from the Indiana Millers' Association to raise §2,500 for the purpose of printing and distributing circulars on the wheat production which have been prepared by the Purdue university experiment station.

The average yield of wheat in Indiana for the last five years has been 13.4 bushels an acre. In Great Britain the average yield is 34 bushels an acre and in France the average is 27 bushels. Prof. G. I. Christie, of Purdue University, who addressed the grain dealers, said it would be easy to increase the yield in Indiana by ten bushels on the acre. The Purdue farm for the last twenty years has had an average yield of 28 bushels an acre, and the conditions are no better there than in other parts of the state. The average acreage of wheat in Indiana each year is 2,500,000 and Prof. Christie points out that an increase in the yieid of one bushel an acre would mean an added income of $2,500,000.

It was reported at the meeting that the oats crop this year promises to be a banner one and the acreage is large. The cold weather is excellent for the oats, although it is not doing the other grain crops much good.

The grain dealers decided to change their time for electing officers to the midsummer session instead of the winter aession, so the present officers will hold their places past the next January session and up to the session next June.

BARNARD MAY 6ET MOTET'S PLACE

New Castle Congressman Spoken of

For a Place on the Monetary

Commission.

A special from Washington, Says: Representative William O. Barnard, of New Castle, Indiana, may succeed the late Jesse Overstreet as a member of the Monetary Commission. Speaker Cannon has the selection of Mr. Overstreet's successor. On behalf of Mr. Barnard it is pointed out that he is a member of the Committee on Banking and Currency, and that inasmuch as Mr. Overstreet hailed from Indiana it is in a sense an Indiana vacancy. The beneficial effect that the appointment might have in adding to Mr. Barnard's political prestige in his district is not overlooked. If he is appointed he will receive no extra pay.

OFFICERS ELECTED BY THE RED MEN

The Red Men elected the following officers at their meeting Thursday night: Lattie O. Hanesi, sachem Charles Kerns, senior sachem Thos. Foreman, junior sagamore Jesse Reeves,prophet W.B.Pauley,trustee representatives to the Great Council, John Hagans, Frank Moore, Sabert Hawk, Roy Robinson, W. P. Johnson, Ed Harding, W. B.

A FARMER HAS A CLOSE ESCAPE

Forgets to Release One of Horse's

Trace Chains and This Causes

a Runaway.

Claude Walker, of Jackson township, son of County Commissioner Linza Walker, narrowly escaped fatal injury a few days ago while working in a corn field. He was rolling the ground, and when he stopped work and unhitched his team from the roller, he neglected to detach one of the traces of one of the horses. The horse became frightened ou account of the trace, ran away, dragging the roller over Mr. Walker, breaking his collar bone and otherwise bruising and injuring him. His escaping as well as he did, is regarded as exceedingly fortunate. It was the third time that the horse has run away, each time being caused by a trace not being detached. One time he ran away with Mr. Linza W alker, and one time with Charles Walker, the present court reporter of this city.

OF BEGINNING

Fletcher Brooks Starts Housekeeping

Anew After Fire That Destroyed

Home and Contents.

The house of Fletcher Brooks which was destroyed by fire last week at eleven o'clock at night instead of in the morning as at first reported. It is not known just how the fire started but it is supposed that it was the result of afire in a stove which was very hot before the family retired for the night. They were awakened by the fire and found the house in flames. They were unable to get but a small portion of their goods out, some bedding and wearing apparel. Everything in the kitchen and all the heavier articles of the house were lost. The smoke house with all the meat and many other supplies for the table were consumed by the flames. The wind was strong but its direction was such as to save the barn.

Mr. Brooks carried about §800 insurance on house and contents. He and his wife were in Greenfield Friday evening purchasing supplies to take the place of those lost in the fire. Mr. Brooks said it reminded him of when he went to housekeeing when first married. Their friends and neighbors were very kind to them in their misfortune and did everything they could for them.

B. O. Longyear, Colorado Agricultural College, Ft. Collins, Colo., says: "The most effective and practicable method of clearing a dandelion infested lawn, other than by hand digging, is by the use of iron sulphate applied as a spray. The writer has succeeded with three' applications in entirely killing all plants of this common lawn pest, without injuring the grass. A portion of a lawn so badly infested that hadly anything but dandelions was visible a year ago, is now without a single plant, and the grass has thickened a good deal in consequence. A solution of c6pperas or iron sulphate, made by, dissolving at the rate of 1% pounds of the salt in a gallon of water, should be applied to the lawn with a spray pump so as to wet every plant. It will not do to use a common sprinkler. The solution must be applied with some force to be effective. A common bucket spray pump, or even a hand atomizer, for very small areas, is suitable providing it makes a fine forcible spray. Do not try to hit the dandelions only, but cover every square inch of the lawn. In this way all seedling plants will be killed. Put on a second application in two or three weeks and a third and possibly a fourth late in sunyner, if any of the dandelions start into growth. The grass will be blackened for a short time, but soon recovers and after a watering and mowing will appear darker green than before. Do not allow the solution ten get on cement or stone walks, as it procuces a rather permanent yellow stain.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1910

WILL RE 6000 CROP OF APPLES

Local Fruit Raiser Meets With Agree

able Surprise on the Examination

of His Orchard.

James N. Goble said Thursday afternoon, that in making an investigation of their large orchard a few days ago they were agreeably surprised to find that there would be a larger crop of apples this year than they had expected. They had been thinking that the apple crop would be an entire failure, but in going through the orchard they found that there would probably be 1,500 bushels of apples. The Grimes Golden apple trees have quite a great deal of fruit on them. Some of them will have a very heavy crop. The Goble orchard should bear on a good fruit year from 10,000 to 12,000 bushels of apples. There will be about one-third crop of cherries, very few peaches and no pears.

The Gobies, when growing their orchard, raised a great many berries, but they destroyed most of the bushes as the trees matured, and are not now raising many berries.

TAKES HIS OFFICE IN AUGUST

Hiram L. Thomas, New Member of

School Board, Will Succeed

Cooper in Two Months.

Hiram L. Thomas, the newly elected school trustee, will assume his duties at the August meeting of the Board, Mi*. Cooper's term continuing until that time. The present board will select the teachers for the coming term of school. In fact this has been done with the exception of the High School. Very few of the teachers in this department have been employed and it is possible that a number of new names will be in the faculty list for the term of 1910-11.

Patrons of the school, and no doubt the superintendent and members of the Board agree that ability to control is important in the qualifications of a teacher in the High School. The students in the higher classes are coming into young manhood and womanhood, and, although it is to be regretted, it is a fact that many of us at that age possessed the idea that there were a good many things we were 'smarter'' in than the teacher, serves to give us an understanding of the difficulty that confronts a teacher at this "stage of the game."

The Board hopes to close the contracts with all teachers soon.

All That is Necessary For Greenfield

People To Do Is Provide For

and Take Care of It.

J. C. Vance, of Shelbyville, superintendent of the Southern Indiana Gas Company, said Saturday that Greenfield is in the best shape it has ever been for gas. The company has the gas and expects to continue to have gas as long as it is obtainable. Mr. Vance thinks the company will have plenty of gas for years. He thinks Greenfield is especially fortunate in this respect. A great deal of work will be done on the plant this year, and it will be put in shape to give the people good service next winter. The superintendent of the plant is glad to hear all complaints about service and they will be investigated promptly.

With proper appliances the representatives of the gas company say that the gas service will be most satisfactory to the patrons, and the expense at the present rate will be less than that for any other fuel for cooking, and also for lighting purposes. They admit that with poor stoves and burners, and careless use of gas, it will prove expensive. The gas company insists that patrons can not afford to use anything but the very best stoves and burner if they want to get the benefit of cheap and convenient fuel. The waste of gas by the use of poor appliances will soon amount to as much as the cost of new stoves. The whole thing in a nutshell, as Superintendent Vance puts it, is that the people of Greenfield can now have plenty of gas for cooking and lighting at less cost than they could get any other kind of fuel.

IN THE MEMORY OF ODD FELLOWS
