Tom Taggart is out for the United States Senate to sticceed Senator B. F. Shiveley. That means that he /will be the next Senator from this £tate. He certainly has the party ^organization in most favorable condition.

The trouble with the Democratic ^administration of state affairs is Uhat the revenues are not sufficient Ho defray the expenses. The Dem-« ocratic party habitually puts the /-State in debt, while the Republican administrations have always been .able to meet current expenditures in the state, and at the same time 'liquidate indebtedness. In addition -to the above facts, more improvements have been made during Republican administrations than during Democratic administrations.

The Greenfield men who promoted the Greenfield Poultry Showare more than pleased with the success of the enterprise. Not only the chicken raisers, but the public generally are taking great interest in the show. The results of this

(show

are sure to do much good lo-

cally in the poultry business. The 'importance of the business as a money-making industry is impressing itself upon the people more and more. As a profitable side line on the farm it has few equals.

More Corn—More Profit. The average yield per acre of -corn is much smaller than most icorn growers think *t is. Reliable (statistics for the past five years igive the average yield in Indiana as 37.6 bushels an acre. The average annual acreage of corn grown in Indiana is more than 4,600,000 acres.

When it is considered that the average yield per acre is only 37.6 bushels, it seems that it would be an easy matter to raise it 5 bushels per acre, yet to do that would mean, at 40 cents per bushel, an annual increase on the corn products of the state of -$3,680,000. That .would be an immense amount of money added to the revenues of Indiana. Still, it seems that it would be a comparatively easy task

When one hears that corn is tne King of the Agricultural Products of Indiana, he hears a truth. If it is the most important crop, then people should be ready to respond to all worthy suggestions looking to its increase. Every man and every institution which is stimulating the cultivation of the corn crop is dosing a good thing for his community.

The Citizens' Bank is doing a good i. thing in Hancock county by its corn show and contest. It will have a good effect in this great corn growing county. We would like to see

Hancock county produce a prizes' winning corn growing boy. Other counties do. Think of Lawrence county, among the hills and rocks, carrying off the grand championship! We believe the corn crop promises even greater things,in the future than at the present.

Let the people use every means •i to increase the corn crop. It means greater profit to the farm. There are some means of easy access to increase the corn crop. They are good seed, careful fertilization and proper cultivation. All corn growers can use them with much -additional expense.

Spring-Like Weather.'

The warm spring-like weather has had the effect of swelling buds of fruit and shade trees in a way that will make them easily killed by subsequent cold weather While it is pleasant, and lessens the coal and fuel bills, it is decidedly unseasonable, and is sure to result in damage to the fruit crop. The grass is growing green and farmers are plowing for corn. Persons do not like to be pessimistic, but the unseasonable weather is sure to produce much sickness by sudden changes that are likely to follow. The doctors, however, and undertakers will be the beneficiaries. One can laugh all they please about the man who says, "It's a weather-breeder," but when the breezes are balmy, the sunshine warm, no fire in the stoves and furnaces, and when the doors are all wide-open through the day, and the windows raised high—in Indiana—the latter part of January, it is time to have a care for grippe, tonsilitis and pneumonia^

Miss Lulu Gline went to Crawfordsville today to assist as singer in a revival sheeting.
