Everyone invited. And Still They Come Eight more pure-bred Shorthorn cattle came to Jasper county this week as a result of the Gwin sale at Lucerne Monday. Each week the importation of better livestock into the county and many excellent herds are being established. Among those who attended the sale from this .county are: Ed Bruce, Ray Thompson, Thomas Cain, John Selmer, P. H. Hauler and Omar Kenton. “Five yearling heifers sold for an average of $4 05 apiece,” said one of the men, “and they were no better than some of those that the members of the Jasper County Shorthorn club will receive. Th" future of the cattle business looks bright.” ,

Fertilizers lade On account of freight congestion many farmers did not receive their wheat fertilizers until after the crop was seeded. There has been a great deal of inquiry as to whether or not it is advisable to apply the material now'or to leave the crop without fertilization. There is little danger of injuring the young plants and if a still day is selected, fertilizers may yet be ap-. plied with good results with a broad-cast seeder. Some material may blow away and it is difficult to apply material evenly with a broad-cast seeder but with reasonable care good results may be expected. The application of about 100 pounds per acre of the fertilizer and the rest next spring will probably results. The Shorthorn Club Eighty-nine boys applied for membership in the county Shorthorn club. The officers of the livestock association have begun their work of selecting principals and alternates to take part in the drawing October 12. "It is such a fine bunch of boys that I wish we had a heifer for every one of them,’’ said President Fred Phillips after looking over the list’ About forty excellent heifers have been selected by the purchasing committee.

tion plots of his - neighbors. "It certainly pays/’ he concluded, “and I will took for a partner to go in with me on a carload of limestone this winter.” This seems to be the general attitude toward the matter. With high prices for all farm products. liming, drainage and fertilizers pay greater returns than ever before. Twenty carloads is not too many to be shipped in this winter. Frank W. Harding, a noted breeder and secretary of the American Shorthorn Breeders’ association, writes: “I will make a strong effort to be present at your distribution to the members of the boys’ club on October 12.” Every lover of good livestock should meet Mr. Harding when he visits the county. He is expected to speak at 2 o’clock on the 12th. “The best partnership in the world is that of the father and his son working together to make the farm more profitable,** said Clarence Henry, assistant county agent leader, last Saturday. “Whenever I see such a combination I know it is one that is bound to succeed. The boy who joins the club with full support of his father is on the right path to success.” Farmer-’ Clubs The Gillam Farmers’ club meets at Independence church next Wednesday evening. Goodmusic. practical talks and a pleasant social time will be the features of the evening. The Parr Community club meets at the Parr school house next Thursday evening. A good, live program committee has arranged for a rousing meeting. Be a booster and come out. > . The North Union Farmers’ club will meet at the Virgie school house next Saturday evening, north Union club has built up the spirit of independence and self reliance among its members which are found to make it an important factor in the community. “If every farmer would take time to .Mert not only his seed corn but seed for his garden and truck crops, the county would be much ahead.” said a speaker at the Bowling Green club last week. “It is more a matter of getting at it than anything else and if our clubs will all take up the matter much good will be accomplished.” This is good advice but will work only if carried put.

The Livestock ShowInterest in the livestock show increases. Due to the efforts of Fred Phillips and O. S. Bell, not only every Hereford herd in this county will be represented, bnt breeders of Herefords from Pulaski and Newton counties have promised to exhibit. Jasper county is in the center of a rapidly developing Hereford Wistriet as will be by the show. Other breeds of livestock will be well represented and everv one who , has the interests of good stock at heart is expected to bring in his purebred animals. J. W. Seh-wab will be the judge and P. S. Richey will give an Sheep and Wool Many farmers, appreciating the profit in sheep and wool are asking. “Where can I get a flock cf breeding ewes?” Few wish to buy as many as a carload and consequently most of the men must do without. In order to get the men in the county who are interested in buying sheep together a meeting will be held at the court house next Saturday afternoon to make arrangements for the purchasing ; of breeding sheep and distributing them to the men who want them. All interested are invited to attend. Registered Sheep John Eek of Goodland purchased a flock of registered Shropshire ewes in Illinois last week and will have one of the first herds of the kind in the county. He has set an example worth following by fnost of the farmers of the county.
