j finus that because of unsatisfactory market conditions, cattle feeders in • the state have lost much of their enthusiasm for the cattle feeding busf- | ness, and that the number of cattle to be fed will be many l^ss than heretofore. The nxsmber of brood sows on the farms is far below that of a year ago and the number of pigs to be fed on Indiana farms will naturally be less than usual. "High priced corn and little assurance as to the condition of the market is causing many feeders to curtail operations, with the resuit that production of meat will be reduced. The feeding of live stock demands that the best possible methods In feeding and management should be employed. Farmers can not afford to follow ordinary methods. Every ton of feed should be so handled that it will produce the largest possible returns. It is time for feeders to study and apply the best practices. Ta Meadww* aad Pasture*. "The soils and crop department finds that farmers are returning many fields, which have been in grain crops to meadows and pasture. Shortage of labor is bringing this about in a large number of cases. During the war large areas of pasture lands and meadows were planted to corn and wheat. It is only natural that a large share of these should be returned to grass. The result is. however. that the area devoted to grain will be much less than during the last two years. With the aid of tworow cultivators, tractors and other large machinery the crops can be handled by a lesser amount of labor. While it is felt that few fields will be left uncropped, it will be impossible to give them the necessary good cultivation that would bring about the
maximum results.
“A survey shows that of the cropped fields, only one acre out of twenty is planted to legumes. Every good farmer realises that if soil fer-

A conference of the members of the agricultural' staff of Purdue University was held to consider phases Of the pre/ent agricultural situation. Many reports received from the various counties in the state are alarming and show an unsettled condition. A report from northern Indiana states that in two adjoining townships there are thirteen farms without tenants. In one of the central Indiana counties a survey of the labor situation shows . 46 per cent, of the farms needing hired men are unable to secure assistance. while in one of the western Indiana counties fib per cent, of the farms needing the services of hired men are without help at this time. "Many report* are being received showing that within the last few days hundreds of men who were engaged for farm work have failed to report for duty, or are leaving their Jobs and going to the cities. Tbe present strike has intensified the situation and is leaving the farms with a very largely reduced amount of labor. The season is cold and backward, which means that a much shorter time will be allowed for the breaking of the ground and planting of the crops, if they are to be planted in sufficient time to insure development and maturity.

On the present basis, however, thousands of Indiana farmers are falling to follow the practice that they know is absolutely necessary to give them profitable results. Every farmer -can afford to plant clover, cowpeas and soybeans this year. The prices for these seeds are high, but even so. Indiana lands demand these crops if they are to yield profitable returns In future years.”
Fraternity Phone Price Boosted. [Special to Tbe Indianapolis News] LAFAYETTE. Ind.. April 15.—Purdue University fraternities must pay $3 a month for thair telephone service instead of |2. the regular home rate, this figure having been agreed on at a conference of the Lafayette Telephone Company's representative and the fraternity men last 'night.

SIMS DEFENDS HIS ACTION
Declares Fletcher Failed f “Grasp His Primary Mission.” ' WASHINGTON. April 15.—Defending his removal of Rear-Admiral William B. Fletcher from the BYest command in October, 1917. Rear-Ad-miral Sims told a naval investigating board today that Admiral Fletcher’s failure to "grasp his primary mission” made his transfer imperative. Admiral Sims declared Admiral Fletcher failed to make proper use of the forces under his command in carrying out the mission of protecting American troops and supply ships leaving French ports, and disregarded general instructions from London
to adopt a system of “indoctrinating his forces with the beat tactical practice for carrying out that mission.” “The limitations of the forces un-
der* Admiral Fletcher's ommai.d were well recognised,'* Sims declared, "but no demands were made upon them which could not havemet by their proper use.”

-and for 34 Years Work. er-xHAT is the kind of increase- in salary the X minister has received. His living expenses have risen just as fast and as far as yours. But he is paid on the average just 52 cents more per church member than he was paid 34 years ago. The Minuter Never Fails You Every officer of the Government with a war message to. .deliver appealed to the ministers first of all. But 80# of the ministers receive less income than government economists figure as a minimum for the support of an average family. Whep hospitals need money they enlist the support of the ministers-—and receive it But when sickness visits the minister or the members of his family they must be treated in a charity ward His pay is less than a day laborer’s. # \ We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic 8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $20 a week— about half the pay of a mechanic. And of these pitifully in- . adequate salaries, how much do you contribute? Nothing if you are outside the church; an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church member. All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to the community. They marry us; bury us; baptize our children; visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the spiritual training of the youth. We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense t of'the Interchurch World program is this—a living wage for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient plant and a chance to do a big mans job. If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers better. It’s the best investment for your community—and for your children—that you can make.
