II HOKE BOOSTER

Prefers Home Markets Does Not Patronize Mail Order Firms— An Interdependency Felt.

One of the hustling farmers of Hancock .county was asked the other day if the mail order houses were being patronized as much as formerly. He gave it as his opinion that mail order houses were losing orders in this country. Personally, he said, he believed in patronizing home merchants in order to maintain a healthy local market, and preserve the town's trading prestige that if everybody sent away for merchandise, where would the town go? And in that idea he had struck the keynote argument against going away from home, or ordering from a catalogue. Maybe many don't see the force of the argument for keeping up the town's business houses, stores and shops, newspapers and general business, but it should be as plain as day that all are mutually inter-depend-ent, that citizens in the country are as much interested, or mere so, than citizens in town, in making general prosperity. One man's prosperity radiates. The benefits are general. Business liberality should be passed along. In other words, everybody must hang together, work. together, boost each other and make a better town, attract new citizens, increase home trade. The prosperous business man can afford and will pay better prices for farm products than the one who loses trade every day because of the disloyalty of people who should be his steadiest customers.

The newspaper man honestly believes that advertising in the home paper would not only be good business on the part of the merchants, but even if results were sometimes doubtful, that he can honestly afford to show his public spirit and enterprise by being represented in the advertising columns every week in the year.

OATS CROP ENTITLED TO A FAIR CHANCE

The oats crop has been cut this week. It was not an average crop. Many fields contained as many weeds as oats. The oats were very well filled and the quality of the grain is good. Where oats were well put in last spring the crop was very fair.

It seems that farmers have been impressed more than usual this year with the importance of putting in their oats with greater care. There is perhaps no farm crop which has been so carelessly sown or planted as the oats crop. The theory seems to have been that the oats crop could be sown or put in in any way, no matter what the condition of the ground. Sow them on top of the ground, use a doubleshovel, cultivator or disc harrow to stir up the ground, and all has been done that is necessary to do to put in a crop of oats. There bave always been some farmers who did not believe in that way of sowing oats, and many more are realizing that it is not fair to the oats crop to put them in that way. They know that merely discing ground when the oats are sown leaves the weeds in such condition that they have the advantage of the oats which they retain until harvest day. Farmers generally are growing in the conviction that every crop— even Oats—is entitled to the best possible advantage over the weeds, and the time will come when oats will be sown with greater care so that they may become a more profitable crop.

Brown Jug But No Yellow Dog. Rev. B. F. Dailey and son left Friday for a camping trip through the west part of the state. They will visit friends and relatives in Morgan and Putnam counties and spend a week with Mr. Dailey's parents in Park county, near the Wabash ifver. They will travel in a light wagon which they have built and furnished. A p^ep inside revealed a camp kettle, a rifle and a "little brown jug." The Doctor regretted not having a "yellow dog" to complete the outfit. They will be away two or three weeks.

Fruit growing is a business in itself. If it is properly handled, it is a nice and profitable business. It is not out of place, either, to state here that fruit can be raised in Indiana as well as in other states in such away as to make good money. No better flavored and no more perfect fruit can be grown anywhere than in this state, if the growers give it the attention that is giveri fruit growing in other places. But the farmer who raises fruit as a mere incident to his other farm work does not want a large orchard. He simply wants a carefully selected variety of fruit, which will supply his own consumption, and at the same time not burden or annoy him in the regular farm work. Such fruit growing is profitable to the general farmer, while fruit growing on a large scale with large orchards is a business in itself, and can be made profitable by occupying practically all of the grower's attention. All other business should be merely incidental to the man, who is a fruit grower as an avocation.

Washed Eggs Do Not Keep Well In the "Poultry" department of the current issue of Farm and Fire side appears an interesting article about the production and sale of eggs. Following is an extract: "Eggs for a first-class trade must be gathered regularly each day from the nests that especially fitted. If there is an doubt about the freshness of eggs, give the customer, not the eggs, the benefit of the doubt. Do not take any chances do not sell them. One bad egg will ruin the reputation gained by selling a thousand good ones. The bad egg 'unpleasantness' will never be forgotten, even if it should be forgiven by the customer. As sooii as the eggs are gathered they should be carried to a cool place and covered with a clean cloth, so that dust cannot settle on them. "A damp cloth is required to rub off any slight discoloration. If it is necessary to wet the eggs,, they should be wiped dry before being placed in the crate otherwise they will gather dust. They should not be washed unless absolutely necessary, because washing destroys the natural appearance of the shell by removing the secretion which covers the pores of the egg and which prevents rapid evaporation from the eggs. Washed eggs do not, keep as well as eggs in their natural condition."

Fruit Growing Profitable As Business in Itself—Everything Else Must Be Incidental.

A man talking about fruit a few days ago, said: "I would never put out as large an orchard as is now on my farm." An orchard is an important thing on a farm, but as the man said, there is no use for a large orchard on every farm.
