Bee Keeper’* Tour on May 21. Frank Foltz, chairman of the County Bee Keeper’s association, has arranged for the postponed tour of that organization on Wednesday, May 21, the previous tour being called off on account of the sudden sickness of Prof. E. G. Baldwin. Mr. Foltz in company with fellow bee enthusiasts will visit various localities of the county and Professor Baldwin will give practical talks and demonstrations on “Transferring,” “Swarm Prevention” and “How to Get the Honey Crop.” The following schedule has been arranged: 7:30, Charles Postill apiary, Rensselaer. 9:00, Arthur Bailey farm, Hanging Grove tp. 10:30, James Britt farm, Barkley tp. <2:00, St. Joseph college, Collegeville. 3:30, Joseph Borntrager farm, Marion tp. Any person interested in bee keeping can pick up a number of ideas of value by dropping in at one of these meetings. Mr. Foltz believes that the topics to be discussed are extremely timely and invites everyone to make all or part of this trip.

Full Feed of Corn Prove* Beat. The old standby ration consisting of a full feed of corn, silage, clover hay and cottonseed meal, is the most profitable, according to the results of experiments announced at the meeting of the Indiana Cattle Feeders’ association at Lafayette May 3. This is in keeping with the results of previous experiment. Not including the value of the pork produced, the lot receiving no corn showed the highest profit, the gains being low, but the cost of gain being correspondingly low. Where a full ration was used with corn and soy beans silage the profit per steer was $40.03, and where corn silage was used the profit was $30.96 per steer, previous experiments, having shown little difference. A number of local feeders attended the meeting. Last Chance for Corn and Soy Bean Combination. “Every farmer who puts corn in the silo, cuts it up for fodder or hogs it off, should plant soy beans with the corn” is the recommendation of the county soifs and crops tee. Observations lead one to believe that the practice will be followed more generally this season than ever before. Conscientious effort on the part of members of the soils committee, demand for greater yields or forage per acre and a growing appreciation for the feeding value of the legumes and home-grown protein are responsible for this increase. The farmer who heeds the suggestion of the crops committee is going to grow cheaper feed than the man who neglects it. Sorghum for the Silo. With prospects of late corn planting, the planting of sorghum for the silos should be more popular this year than ever before. Probably the largest yields of high-grade silage may be obtained by planting fairly early maturing corn and soy beans in one field and sorghum in another, mixing the two loads about at silo filling time. Practically everyone who tried the combination thinks that it is fine. “Swat the Rat” I* Slogan for “Rat Day” Here May 27. “Swat the rat is the slogan adopted by Indiana for the observance of rat day, May 27. Every man, woman and child in this county is urged to heed this slogan and see that all rats and mice, the largest single destroyers of food and property, are exterminated. The brown or Norway rat is probably the worst of all mammal pests in the county and entire state. It

is estimated that rats destroy food and property in Indiana worth not i less than $4,000,000 annually. The I cost in 1917 of maintaining the five insane hospitals, three state prisons I and rest of the 19 institutions was $3,186,070. If the rats and mice were wiped out, enough will be saved to pay the taxes supporting these institutions and leave a balance of SBOO,OOO. . , . . Their depredations cost citizens of the United States a total of $200,000,000 each year in damage to crops and property alone, not to mention I the dozens of diseases for which they are to blame. This property destruction is equivalent to the gross earnings of an army of over 200,000 men. “On many a farm, if the gram eaten and wasted by rats and mice could be sold, the proceeds would more than pay all the taxes,” dei dared an authority of the depart- ' ment of agriculture recently. Premium* for Club Member*. Three hundred dollars was appropriated by the council council to be used as premiums for boys and girls of the county who successfully comSlete their industrial club work. J. I. Sauser, chairman of the club committee, has charge of the fund and expects to have a premium for every club member who does good work this season. The clubs this year are seven in number and the enrollment is exactly 100 boys and girls. Marion Farmer*’ Club Meeting to

Be Held May 29. After a lapse of some months, the South Marion Farmers’ club has come to life and the officers are planning for a rousing meeting on the evening of May 29. A fine program is being prepared and everyone is welcome to attend. “Take All" Appears in This County "Take all,” the Australian wheat disease, has appeared in Jasper county. According to J. M. Gardner, plant pathologist, who, at the suggestion of the writer came up to examine certain suspicious fields, the largest infected areas in Indiana are in a few fields near Rensselaer. Mr. Gardner stopped In Rensselaer on his return from a tour over the wheat belt of the United States where he had been observing the disease. He states that it is possible and very probable that other fields are infected and all farmers are asked to make an examination. Federal officials are making a hurried survey to determirae the extent of infection in the United States. Little is known in this country about the manner of dissemination or. the methods of control or eradication. Farmers in some areas are plowing up infected fields, hut the department is not requiring this measure at the present time. After the general situation in this country is known, recommendations for con:*ol will be nbide.

General John Brown Kerr, who was born in Kentucky 72 years ago, was the hero of what the late General Miles declared to be the most daring exploit in the history of Indian warfare. In 1891 Kerr, at the head of a brave band of 20 men, found himself surrounded by more than 100 South Dakota Sioux Indians. Outnumbered five to one, Kerr and his men (fought so valiantly and handled their guns with such! effect that many of the braves were killed and the remainder surrendered.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

SALVATION ARMY NEEDS

Annual Budget Shows Reasons for $13,000,000 Drive. Vast Activities Conducted by 1,000 Corp* in United State*— Future Plane. New York. —(Special)—The annual budget of the Salvation Army, containing a detailed apd comprehensive statement of the cost of maintaining its varied activities throughout the United States, has been issued from National Headquarters, 122 West Fourteenth street. The statistics show why it is necessary for the Salvation Army to go before the American people In the week of May 19 to 28 and ask them to contribute $13,000,000 to its Home Service Fund. There are 939 corps and outposts of the Salvation Army In the United States. Tim cost of maintaining these is $2,685,000. The maximum income which these corps may expect from collections in meetings, contributions of members and other outside contributions Is $715,000, making the net total cost of supporting the corps sl,970.000. . . The cost of maintaining divisional and provincial headquarters, which su pervise the work of the local corps, will be, according to the budget, $530,000. Besides the work of supervising the local headquarters, the provincial and divisional headquarters are in charge of several of the Salvation Army s largest activities, including the operation of fresh air camps for children, relief and employment bureaus and the provincial bands. Under the heading of “national and territorial obligations” the Salvation Army includes the expenses of maintaining what are among its best known Institutions, those which may be grouped under the general name of “social work.” For this purpose the Army wants $1,270,000. The pension fund budget is $400,000. The Salvation Army has determined on the erection of many new buildings for social work in the future. The building program will require expenditures of $1,875,000. The remainder of the amount sought for the Home Service Fund is for corps, divisional and provincial buildings and a small contingent fund. Details of the Salvation Army’s activities in the United States fOr the last year show how remarkable is the scope of the Army's endeavors and what vast numbers of people it serves. For instance, the Army maintains sev-enty-five hotels for men and women. Last year 1,656,528 persons found sleeping accommodations in these. Beds were supplied for 127.889 children in the Army's four children's homes In the same period, while 48,519 children were sheltered in the slum nurseries. In the industrial homes' beds were supplied for 1,742,815. In the rescue homes and maternity hospitals 1,899 girls went under the care of the Army last year. The Army has 2,918 officers and cadets in the United States. Last year they preached to over 24,000,000 persons.

THE $13,000,000 SALVATION ARMY POSTER

“A man may be down, but he’s never out,” the Salvation Army slogan, furnished thfe theme for the official Home Service Fund Campaign poster designed by Frederick Duncan, the noted artljfct. From, this he has evolved a striking artistic creation, typifying the hand of* the Salvation Army reaching out to rescue those who are enshrouded in the clouds of poverty and vice. A Salvation Army lass is the principal figure, and the scarlet lining of her cloak, thrown back as she enfolds those who are calling out to her in distress, furnishes the poster with its one spot of brilliant color. The background is of lacks, grays and greens, indicative ofthe storm clouds of misery and want
