CENTRAL STATE ME FARM PROFITS GIVEN Study Made by Government and Purdue Uni- ( versity, Operators of eiehty-acre farms !n central Indiana on the average make about a mortgage rate of Interest on their capital and somewhere near a hired man’s vrages for their labor, in addition to securing the products furnished by the farm for the family living and a possible increase in value of the farm land owned, according to the United States Department of Agriculture and Purdue University, based on a study of individual farm records over a period of years. Rotation of Crops The more successful farmers had definite crop rotation systems of corn, small grain, clover and timothy, with a tendency to put more land in corn whenever practicable, the study showed- Over a series of years yields as high as 50 bushels of com, 45 bushels of oats, 20 bushels of wheat and 1.5 tons of hay per acre were obtined. From three to five dairy’ cows, with enough young cattle to maintain the herd, five to eight brood sows, raising from fifty to seventy pigs pee. year, 100 or more hens, and three work animals were common. Profitable production per animal was obtained with good breeding, feeding and care. Farmers Are Workers. The farmers themselves did most of the work with members of the family helping with the chores. The family helped with the farm work during, the rush periods, or extra help was hired. Members of the family or persons hired did from two to four months of labor. The farmers had the machinery necessary for efficient operation of their farms, but they did not invest in machinery, which required so much money as to forbid its economic use. Successful farming was often reflected in comfortable homes with modern conveniences, in educational opportunities given the children, and in higher standards of Jiving. The results of the study are contained in farmers’ bulletin No. 1.421 entitled “Successful Farming on Eighty-Acre Farms in Central Indiana.” copies of which may be obtained free upon request to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

BEGIN HERE TODAY The "Nervous Wreck. ' an eoeentrio youn? easterner, is driving Sally Moreau from her father s ranch to the station when they run out of gasoline. At the point of a gun the. Wreck takes five gallons from a passing car. Eater Charlie MoSween. foreman of a ranch along the route, makes them captives because he wants Sally for a cook. It develops that Mr. Uixl'-r----wood, the owner of the ranch, was in the car which they held up. Sheriff Bob Wells. Sally s fiance is unwittingly searching the countryside, for tha ’bandits" who held up Underwood. Sally and the Wreck finally escape from the ranch, run into a camp of real bandits, and again are taken captive. Now. in a thunderstorm, the Wrecks knocks their guard cold. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY HE Wreck had rolled Denver , I | over on his face and was tyE- i ing his hands behind his back. He worked quickly and roughly, but he made the job thorough. Then he reached for the cord that Sally held and began tying the big creature’s ankles. "But look what it did for us,” said the Wreck, as the storm shrieked at them again. “Is he hurt much?” The Wreck began exploring the skull of his victim. "I can’t even find blood,” he said. "He had a hat on when I hit him. There’s a big welt on top of his head. When he comes to he’ll y*ink he was struck by lightning.” “Y'ou don’t think he’s dead, Henry?” “No!” answered the 'Wreck, scornfully. “I can feel him breathing. Come on, now. We’d better get out of this.” He picked up Denver's rifle, examined the breech, then threw it across his shoulder. Sally bent, over the loose figure and stared at it curiously. “We all have our weak spots,” she said, solemnly. “I’m honestly sorry for him.” “We did him a kindness,” averred the Wreck. “He won’t worry about the rest of the storm. Come on!” “Where?” “We’re going to get the car, of course.” t He seized her hand and they plunged into the brush that surrounded the small clearing where the camp lay. As they did so, the rain came. It did not begin gently,

with # widely scattered drops, but came in an abrupt rush, with a roar that resembled the voice of a cataract. Even through the trees it beat down on them from the darkness, carried on the wings of a squall that fairly howled. Almost as abruptly the electric phase passed, so that now t ie flashes were fewer and dimmer. "I’VE GOT HOLD OF A HORSE,” HE CRIED. They blundered forward, clinging to each other. They stumbled over roots and vines, floundered blindly into trees, forced their way through underbrush that seemed to claw at them. Both were drenched to the skin and gasping for breath before they had gone a hundred yards. “Seems to me we’ve gone far enough,” parted Sally. “It was only a little way from camp.” “It’s right around here somewhere,” said the Wreck. "Come on.” He dragged her forward again. "If we could get some more lightning we could see something,” she complained. “We’ll find it,” he promised, confidently. But had not found the flivver

in five minutes,' or ten, although they steadily groped their way through the dripping woods, trying to shield their faces against tlie beating rain. “We’ve been going uphill too much.” said Sally, who had a sharp misgiving concerning their quest. "The ground was almost level beiween the flivver and the camp.” “Then we’ll go downhill some," declared the Wreck. They went downhill for awhile, hut it was still a blind scramble through the trees and underbrush, with no touch of a flivver to greet their outstretched hands. It was very dark. They could hear distant thunder, but the lightning they could not see. And it rained as though determined never to stop. "I don’t see that that rifle Is doing you any good.” observed Sally, as they paused to rest. “It’s only so much'more to carry.” “We may need it," he said stubbornly. Half an hour passed. The rain was lessening, although the fact made little difference; neither Sally, nor the Wreck, nor the woods could get any wetter. "I’m afraid,” she said, “that we started in the wrong direction when we left the camp.” “We’ll go back to the camp and start over again.” “But you'll never find the camp now, Henry.” "Sure." There was no use in arguing or toying to discourage him, and Sally knew they might better he moving than standing stijl, so she suffered herself to he led on another Journey through the darkness. The Wreck seemed to be tireless. He plodded ; and stumbled onward, scorning dispicking himself up whenever he fell, clinging to the rifle, and doing it all with an amazing optimism and even a show of patience. “Any time you want to rest, just holler,” he advised. Sally promised that she would, but she kept going. They did the camp. Even if they passed within a few yards of it the chances were aaginst ery, for long ago, Sally knew, the rain must have obliterated the last vestige of glowdng embers. But the Wreck searched stubbornly for hours. It seemed. He would not admit that he was lost*, although Sally would have conceded it without hesitation. He seemed to proceed on the theory that groping through the woods was like walking the streets of Pittsburgh—even if you happened to be in a strange neighborhood you would locate your street at last. “Let’s rest awhile,” he suggested.

Sally was willing. Her skirt was heavy with moisture and her legs were tired. They found a fallen tree and sat for a long time, during which the moon came out. It did not give them much light, but it had a cheerful aspect. They did not talk much. She felt that the Wreck was chagrined about their failure to find the flivver and did not refer to it. Nor diii she even speculate on what they were going to do next, although it seemed to her that their plight was more unfavorable than ever. “We ought to be getting some -daylight in an hour or so,” she said. He agropd with her and suggested that they walk again. There seemed to he no end to the woods. How far they traveled, or in what direction, Sally had not the smallest dea. She felt quite helpless. The one thing that gave her a measure of confidence was the demeanor of the Wreck. He was undaunted; everything would he all right as soon as it got light enough to see what they were doing. They were resting again when a noise made by something that moved stirred them both to alertness. It was not far distant, and Sally held her breath ns she clung to the Wreck's flrgers. Several times the noise was repeated; it was sa if some heavy body were forcing Its way through the brush. “Maybe it's one of the gang,” she whispered. “Maybe. Do they have bears here?’’ “Not many, I reckon. I never saw one.” “You stay here,” he said. “I’m going to see what it is." “No.” “I've got a rifle, haven't I?” “I don’t care. Y'ou'd better stay here.” They heard the noise again. “I’m going,” said the Wreck. “Sit still.” “Henry!” He was gone, trying to be stealthy about it. but making a din as he plunged forward into the gloom. Sally gritted her teeth and followed him. What was he blundering into now? She was several yards behind him when she heard a scuffle, then a muffled exclamation from the Wreck. Something was plunging around in the brush ahead of her. “Henry!” she called sharply. “Henry!” Then hig excited voice, floated back to her. "I’ve got hold of a horse,” he cried. “What’ll I do with it?” “A horse!” “Yes, a horse!” "Hang onto it; I’m coming.” She went forward at a run.

tripped, fell headlong, picked herself up and resumed. “He's rearing around," complained the voice of the Wreck. “The damn fool, he's just—” "Well, you hang onto him.” said Sally grimly. “I’ll be there in a second. Darn these woods, anyhow.” CHAPTER XXI The Sheriff's Horse When she reached him, the Wreck was still struggling with a dark shape th'at was making desperate efforts to back out of the encounter. “Let me see,” said Sally, pushing herself to the front. “What are you holding him by, anyhow? Why, he’s bridled!" It had not occurred to the Wreck that a horse roaming the woods at night did not usually wear a bridle, but to Sally, who knew about things, it was an oddity. “Easy now, boy.” She had hold of the and was talking in a soothing, professional tone- The effect of her voice and her practiced hand was almost Immediate. ’’That’s it, gentle now. And who turned you loose in the woods?” An instant later she made a second discovery. “Saddled, too! That’s queer. He’s broken loose from some pfftco. I suppose the storm scared There now, boy; steady. Well, can you beat it? Saddled and “Bridled, all ready to hand.” She stroked the animal’s neck, patted his shoulder and talked gently to him. Presently he responded with a nuzzling against her arm, and then she knew she had him. “We can’t be far from the camp, Henry- He must belong to Nosey, or one of that crowd, of course. A horse might get frightened in a storm like that, but he wouldn’t run very far in the woods. Listen!” The Wreck had not heard any-
