ONION & WHEAT TRAINS

Over Chicago, Indiana ft Southern Railroad, August 16-18. The announcement of the Onion and Wheat trains to be operated over the Chicago, Indiana & Southern Railroad in Indiana, has aroused much interest among the farmers along this line. The time is most opportune for such trains, since the farmers will be through with the threshing and can easily give the necessary time to hear the lectures. Preparations are under way at Purdue University to get together the best possible information. Charts are being made; interesting photographs are being enlarged and other materials are being assembled, which can be used in demonstrating points of most interest to the people. These lectures should be of great value to every one who hears them.

The Purdue people have carried on extensile investigations in Onion culture and with Wheat and are in a position to give some good advice. Onion growers are experiencing, at this time, considerable trouble from insects: STWy will be glad for some information on how to combat these. This subject will be discussed on the train. Farmers in western Indiana are anxious to know more about wheat growing and the best methods of fertilization. An attempt will be made to answer these questions. Farmers will uo well to study the schedule of this train and arrange to meet it at the most convenuf.t point. The schedule is as follows: Arrive Leave No. Liberty . 8:00 a.m. 8:40 an.
