Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Learning.

Farm Accounts Desirable Readjustments of prices on. products and supplies this year ha/e made certain lines of farming extremely profitable and other losing propositions, so that there is an unusual interest in the. keeping of accurate records of the business done by many of the farmers. The income tax law requires an accounting on the part of most of the farmers as well as the business men. To give them’ an opportunity to determine their net labor income, Purdue University has prepared a new Farm Record book which makes the keeping of cost accounts comparatively simple. Farmers who will keep accounts may receive copies of this book upon application to their county agent. January and February are the best months to begin keeping record's as stocks of supplies are usually low and other work is not as pressing ias later in the season. Wheat Substitutes Attractive There seems to he no limit to the number of good things made from wheat ' substitutes by Miss Leila Gaddis of Purdue at a demonstration before the South Marion

farmers’ club last week. Oatuiegl coffee cake, corn meal doughnuts, and corn and rye muffins were among the simpler dishes prepared by Miss Gaddis and enjoyed by the Members of the club. Our farmers and farm women are intensely patriotic and are very willing to conserve wheat flour when they know how to prepare attractive food without it. The work of the Home Demonstration agents is to distribute information relative to the use Of these substitutes. Other clubs and will find it to their interest to arrange similiar demonstrations at their meetings. Prof. Schwab to Demonstrate Care of Meats The Better Farming association has secured the services of Prof. Johp Schwab of Purdue to give three demonstrations of methods of butchering and of patting and curing meats. The time and places of holding these demonstrations has not been fixed and communities interested in. this subject are invited to arrange for such a demonstration. Prof. Schwab has given this matter a great deal of attention and oomes to the county well i i. i ..’- v; • - • v- :

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

equipped to give the latest and best methods o, handling the meat sup ply. There has been a tendency to postpone butchering “until after corfi husking’’ hnd the subject is very timely. Better methods o! i curing pleats will do .Touch to add 1 variety to the ration during tin summer months. ' 1 Pork From Garbage The following telegram has beeD received from J. M. Rommel, chief of the Anixal Husbandry Division of the U. S. Department of Agri- . culture: “In every city and village in y mi state a number of retired farmerss are living. These men are practi cal hog men and know how to grow hogs at a profit. Many of them woujd welcome an opportunity to keep one' or more brood sows. “I am surd that if this matter were brought to the attention of these city and village authorities they would gladly lend their assis- | tance to the movement for increased- production, by not enforcing | ordinances prohibiting the keeping of hogs in the city limits, during j the period of the war.

“In this manner thousands of hogs can be marketed at a profit by these city men, by using garbage and slops now wasted. It is our idea that this movement for hogs in the cities and villages should not be to urge everyone to raise a hog, but to ask men who know the business to keep one or more brood sows and market the litters. “There are many ifanmers and breeders of pure bred hogs who would be glad to furnish an experienced man in the city with a brood sow, to grow the litter on the shares. “Garbage collectors find that they can keep approximately one hog for every 17 persons in their territory. At this rate an appreciable number of hogs can be produced from the refuse of every town and village in this county.’’ f . Circular 66 on Soils Circular 66, “Lime and Fertilizer Needs of Indiana. Soils,’’ issued by the State Experiment station is probably one of the most interesting to our farmers of the vast number issued by that institution. It divides the soils of Indiana into 20 easily recognized classes and gives definite directions for improving each class. It gives the landowner who “wants !his soil analyzed to determine whtat fertilizers it needs’’ more definite and reliable information than may be secured from the best chemical tests. Every person interested in soil fertility should have a copy of Circular 66. Fanners’ Club Jesse Snyder, expert poultryman of Marion township, will be the principal speaker at the meeting of the West Carpenter Farmers’ club Friday evening, January 18, at the Welch school house. He will discuss the subject of “Artificial Incubation’’ which he has made a special study. Seed Corn and Labor Survey The South Marion Farmers’ club is the first organization in the county to take steps to comply with the governor’s proclamation, requesting a survey of the seed corn needs of every farm in the state. At the last meeting, the club appointed a committee headed by Mr, Stephen Kohley to take charge of the matter. At the game time the ( labor needs of the community will be determined. The United States government is making a special effort to see that the farmers are supplied with everything which will make for a bumper crop in 1918.
