Shorthorn Breeders Organize At a meeting of fourteen breedere held in the office of the county agent last Friday afternoon the Jasper County Shorthorn Breeders’ association Was formed. Will Johnson of Fort Wayne, field secretary for the American Shorthorn association, was present, and in the course of his remarks showed how such a local organization could encourage and extend the influence of Shorthorn breeding and safeguard the interests of its members by creating better trade opportunities, by promoting co-operation and stimulating greater activity among them. The following officers were elected: Chauncey Wood, presi-, dent; P. H. Hau ter, vice-president; . John Parkinson, secretary and treasurer; Floyd Amsler, W. H. Wortley, W. C. Rose and John Lonergan, directors. There are now about twenty breeders of registered Shorthorn i cattle in the county, exclusive of members of the First National Bank ' Shorthorn club, who do not now own registered sires. These men feel that they can cooperate in their advertising to lessen the cost of each member. By selling as a unit they can attract buyers into the community that would otherwise overlook it. The members are also looking forward to an association sale to distribute ( their surplus. The quality of the i members back of this organization should assure its success.

Hereford Breeders Form Association A number of Hereford breeders: met at the office of the county! agent last Saturday and formed the . Jasper and Newton Counties Here-, ford Breeders’ association. It was brought out in the meeting that, this territory has a wonderful op-1 portunity for Hereford develop- 1 ment. Situated between Newton and Pulaski counties, which al-1 ready have national reputations as' Hereford centers, Jasper forms the logical keystone of a strong Hereford structure. The following officers were elected: Fred Phillips, president; Victor Bjoiklund, vicepresident; O. S. Bell, secretary; King Chamberlain. treasurer; Thomas Cain, Charles Fleming, King Chamberlain, William Stalbaum and Arthur Watson, directors. These men represent some of the best herds of the state. President: Phillips has a herd which stands! right at the top, size considered, of the herds of the county. Secretary Bell has the largest Polled Hereford herd in the state. The association has worked out a plan for placing registered Herofords on a number of the farms of the county. A committee has been appointed to locate the cattle, another to finance the matter and these will report at a meeting held at the «ourt house this afternoon at 2 o’clock. It is believed by close students •f livestock affairs that the organization of these two associations mark the beginning of a new, era in livestock breeding in the county. Aa outgrowths of the Better Livestock association formed last spring, they will still be affilliated with it

and help with its functions, but their existence will permit their members to co-operate in a broader way than heretofore, The Angus Herds In training the development ot the Shorthorn and Hereford herds of the county, we must not forget the Angus which have been steadily pushing their way on to the farms of the section. Among the breeders may be mentioned Alfred Duggleby and C. H. Freeman of Tefft, C. M. Dewey and Charles Hewett of Wheatfield, John KOlhoft and Clarence Maxwell of Rensselaer, Marion Freeland and Charles Schleman are the latest purchasers of registered Angus sires and are looking about for a few good females to establish herds. The Angus are characterized by early -maturity, smooth finish and high dressing percentage. Liming Popular The Jasper. County Better Farming association is about to launch a campaign for. the use of lime on the acid farms of the county. J. C. Beavers of Purdue will be one of the first speakers, appearing at the NeWtfrn Township . ’ Farmers’ club meeting on the evening of November 20. The campaign calls for the use of one or more cars of limestone in every farmers’ club community and the indications are that there will be no difficulty in filling the program. Among those who have signified their interest in using lime this winter are: L. C. Asher, Conrad Meyer, John Wuethruch, M. E. Bice, Erhardt Wuerthner, H. G. Bolliger, A. P. Rice, Gangloff brothers, Herman DeVries,

George DeVries and Charles Guttrich. Tests and demonstrations indicate that about 200,000 tons of limestone can be used to an advantage in the county. **• Sheep Meeting To supply farmers desiring to purchase ten or more breeding ewes, a meeting was held in the office of the county agent last evening at 7:30 to arrange for the purchase of the same. Handling Soft Corn A warning for all farmers to sort out their soft corn before cribbing is timely, in order to prevent loss of the marketable portion of the crop, r We are suggesting three methods of disposal: feeding to hogs, feeding to cattle, selling to feeders. Prompt attention is highly desirable in order to prevent total loss.

A New Method of Utilizing Soft Corn O. H. Benson of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and original exponent of the “cold pack” process of canning, recently said: “I went into a field the other day and secured ten dozen ears of frosted field corn. This I blanched j for forty minutes, dipping in cold water and cut from cob. I then ran it through a meat chopper and seasoned it with salt and pepper packing in tin cans and cooked for 150 minutes. To open I cut tops from cans and turned out the material as a solid mass. Cut into thin slices and fried for breakfast it is far superior to wheat cakes.” This idea may help to work up our corn crop and help out on the idea of the conservation of wheat.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Home DemonOTration Agent to Be Secured Due to the prompt action of the County Council of Defense and the Home Economics club, Jasper county will have one of the first home economics demonstration agents to be placed in this state by the United States government as one of its war measures. The demonstrator will be a trained worker who will assist the women of the county with their household problems by means of demonstrations, meetings and visits. A meeting relative to this work will be held at the Rensselaer library Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock, at Which all are invited to be present. Such a demonstrator can do a great deal of good in giving specific information as to definite methods of conservation in the homes and in making the home work easier or more pleasant.
