Terse Market Notes THE WEEK’S CROP SIMMARY'. There were local rains in nearly all sections of the state during the first part of the week, which put many fields In good shape for plowing and with tbe j(revailing cool weather much work was done. Silo filling at the present time is also occupying tlie attention of the farmer to some extent. Notwithstanding the fact that corn on sandy and clay soils in some sections of the state is badly firing, generally the outlook yet is very promising for a bumper crop. Tlie extreme north and west sections of the state/sliow tbe poorest conditions. None of the corn will mature under three weeks and It will take some of It six weeks more. The yield and quality of the spring v.h"fit are below the average. Planting of winter wheat will begin cbout Sept. 20 in the northern part of tile state. Oats yield wre much better than was erpeeted in most sections. The early sown oats are very heavy and the re-ve-e is true of those sown late. The barley crop came up to all expectations in all sections, except in the extreme northeast corner of the state. Clover seed average is somewhat larger than last year, but the yield will be very spotted. Rust has struck some of the early tobacco and the farmers are cutting It gr##n. The melon sections in the southern part o* the state have about completed shipment. It was one of the best crops ever produced, according to reports from g—livers. Practically all tbe well-cared-for orcbrr.ls have bumper crops this year. This is true especially for peaches where many young trees came Into full bearing this year. The cool weather has kept truck crops on the market later this year than usual. The quality is very good, however. Some hog cholera Is reported In the eastern part of the state, a disease similar "to anthrox is attacking cattle in a few of tbe southern counties. According to reports, farm labor Is plenti'ul, but at very high prices. Weather The following table shows the state of the weather at 7 a. m..

On Commission Row The produce market opened with an unusually dull tone this morning, with but little produce on the market with a comparatively small demand. Peaches continued to be a scarcity, but the price was the same as on the Saturday morket at $4.50 a bushel for choice grades. Commission men said that several cars were expected In soon. The last watermelons of the season are now making their appearance on the market at much lower prices than they came on the market. The best melons on the market now are not bringing more than 60 centa. The state fair and the holiday that has Just p-ssed have exerted an influence on the produce market, wholesale men said.

New Ad Club Pilot . . i „ ' -' k ... ■ Jgß&s -1 i vsf / * / EDWARD W. HUNTER. The Indianapolis Advertising club will begin Us activities after several weeks of vacations on Tuesday, September 14, in their permanent headquarters on the seventh floor of the Chamber of Commerce building with the Inauguration of Its new program for the year under the new budget system. President Jesse liauft has announced the selection by tbe executive board of Edward W. Hunter as business manager of the club. Mr. Hunter comes into this larger service from the advertising department of the Indiana Dally Times, having resigned from that newspaper to devote his time to promoting the activities of tbe club. Mr. Hunter’s years of experience in various departments of newspapers In different metropolitan centers definitely fits him for the requirements of this work. In discussing Indianapolis and its future. Mr. Hunter said; ‘’lndianapolis has been my home for about nine year* and In apite of the fact that I have been In every city of importance in the country I think Indianapolis beats them all. It is the Ideal home city and in my opinion needs but one thing to make it stand out alone; that la a sizeable body of water—a lake—for example, the artificial lake at Rome City, Ind. “There are sufficient streams about the city to keep n lnkt*> filled without any expense for pumping. “This addition to tbe city would make of it an Ideal resort for winter and summer sports. “The people would thpn stay at home during the vacation season and Indianapolis would become the mecca of excursionists from all parts of the middle west. “Could there be a better advertisement for Indianapolis and would It not be an Ideal way of spending the money for a memorial to the soldiers? “They like water sports better than monuments, anyway "Personally. I shall work bard to boost such a project.”

The baby, contest, which Is being conducted every day In the women’s building, is one of the big features of the fair Another feature of Interest to the rural districts is a partly erected house In the Oliver building, depleting a model country bouse and surrounding yard. A dressmaking exhibit and home convenience display is given space In the building. PURDUE EXHIBITS DRAWING THOUSANDS Os the 45,000 visitors at the state fair yesterday, from half to two-thirds of them passed through the Purdue and Oliver buildings, which house the various agricultural exhibit* of Purdue university, according to G. M. Frier, who has charge of the displays. The attendance far surpassed that of other years, he said, and the largest number of Indianapolis visitors showed an unusual interest In things agricultural. On# of tbe features which attracted unusual attention was the display of the tubercular carcass of e cow. Dr. L. C. Ktgln of (he Purdue veterinary staff, explained what the stamp, “government Inspected,” means, and urged the visitors to Insist on getting Inspected meat. Government Inspectors would not permit sales of such meats, he said. The city visitors also showed much interest In the poultry display. They wished especially to leavn how to i tell “loafing" from laying hen*, and how i to house and feed the hens properly so as to obtain more eggs. Other features In the Purdue exhibit emphasized the proper ration for fattenlng cattle and hogs, proper orchard management. how to Increase corn yields, etc. Tbe dairy feature attracted considerable attention, where five head of cattle from Posey county were shown to bring j out the value of using a pure-bred alre ! of known value. Bulls owned co-operatively by men In a Dearborn County Bull asaociatlon are on display, showing how any farmer may > obtain service* of a first-class sire In his herds for a small outlay of cash. The labor-saving devices for farm an* ; city homes, running water systems for 1 the country, sewage disposal, etc., are shown tn the Oliver building. ROARING EXHAUSTS SING ‘ DOBBIN'S’ DIRGE “Old Dobbin” is a dead one. if the in- ! terest taken In tbe tractor and power . farming section of the Indiana State fair : can bo used as a criterion, according to j tha expressions of exhibitors in power 1 dev ires for the farm. ! Dobbin is declared to be an economic failure, anyway, by tho tractor folk “He eats one-fifth of tho crops he raises," they assert, "and besides he cost* 35 cents an hour for each working hour, to operate him and maintain him. Thai Is a pretty big price for all the work he does.” | The dirge of the horse on the farm Is I being sung by the roaring exhausts of : hundreds of tractors at the fair It Is stated by fair officials that this display of power farming devices greatly i excels all previous displays here, and ' <>n top of this, tractor men who have i been ’‘making" other state fairs assert | the Indiana fair comes nearer being a I real natlonl tractor exhibition than any j they have ever seen. Tractors now grow In all sizes, from the big hulls to the little baby tractors of the garden type, which la becoming popular for truck men or small acreage owners, or as an auxiliary for the bigger tractors on the big tracls. A feature of the display of the baby tractor Is the operation by a young girl attractively attired In a military style O. D. suit. She la Mis* Olive Beaulieu of Indian 1 npolis, and she is tho only woman operator in the power farming section of the fair. Needless to say she attracts considerable attention, a part of which Interest is diverted to the baby tractor Itself. Tbe Big Ben style of tractors have tremendous power, but most of these are Intended for road work or for driving thrashing machines. A favorite exhibition stunt of the tractors Is playing "all around the mulberry bush," or some such game, running In circles without the aid of an operator. One big machine is bitched up to elevate Itself ten or twelve .feet off the ground, rather hoisting Itself by its own bootstraps, ns it were. The tractors shown include four-wheel, three wheel an dtwo-wheeled type, with a certain number of no-wheeled type, such as tanks used during the war. Power farming, according to the exhibitors, does not mean tractors alone. “It means electric lighting systems, water systems and kindred devices, de signed to lessen labors of th-s farm housewife," declared Lon R. Smith, a power-farming expert, who is attetndlng the fair. "The labor of carrying water, churn-

ing with the old-fashioned dash-pot churn, rub-a-dub washing In the old way, the Inefficient and dirty coal-oil lamps to clean every day, cream to be separated by hand methods, and all the other back-breaking drudge work of the farmer's wife are entirely unnecessary now,” said Mr. Smith. “The) farmer will have his tractor and his truck and the family will have its automobile, but Mrs. Farmer is going to have the modern household conveniences, if the Interest she Is showing In the farm-power section of the fair is any guide.*’ Among the exhibitors at the fair are the best known companies in the country and Indiana manufacturers stand well up In the list of the exhibits. It is said that inferior machines are pnssing rapidly In the farm power field and that the exhibits at the present fair Jnclude the highest type of the respective classes. The interest shown by the crowds the first day Is taken as an excellent indication that Indiana will maintain her “place in the sun” by the steady adoption of power devices of all kinds for the farms of the state. “It will mean more food and a lowering of'the cost oi living generally” Is the verdict of tbe tractor men.

•olid train from Toledo to New York via the New York Central RailroadMeeting New Conditions INITIATIVE AND RESPONSIBILITY: These are the words of the Government to the New York Central Lines and the other American railroads. With the recent adjustment of wages and rates these lines face the future with determination and confidence in their ability to meet their transportation problems. This is no small order. The New York Central Lines mean practically one-tenth of the railroads of America. Inevitably they share tremendously in the duties and responsibilities of the new period. • * The New York Central Lines believe at last the way is open to provide for the greatly increased transportation needs of the territory they serve. * As everyone knows, in the past few years, wages which the roads must pay their employees have more than doubled, and every other element in operating costs has mounted high. It was impossible for the roads to respond fully to the public need for transportation service without having their earning power increased to meet these costs. The New York Central Lines welcome the opportunities for increased service made possible by their new earning power. Because they are important arteries of a vast territory comprising about one-half the population of the United States, the New York Central Lines must build stronger for the future, so that in the years to come they can move every ton of coal necessary; so that there may be no lack of transportation in crop-moving time; so that the lines of passenger communication may be inviting and convenient. Strong, well-managed properties with adequate earning power will command the confidence of investors, and larger investment will enable the New York Central Lines to render an ever-increasing public service. v THE NEW YORK CENTRAL LINES MICHIGAN CENTRAL BIG FOUR LAKE ERIE &>WESTERN.
