Wheat Smut Puzzles Many. "We treated our seed wheat with formaldehyde last fall, but still our fields are filled with black, smutted heads,” is a reirfark frequently ijeard among wheat growers these days. As there is so much confusion in regard to the different smuts, a short explanation may not be amiss. There are two kinds of wheat smut: The loose smut, which causes the blackened heads, and the stinking smut, or “bunt,” which renders wheat unfit for milling. The loose smut develops within the kernel from infection from the 'smutted heads at flowering time, When the spores are blown from plant to plant by the wind. The infected kernels do not reveal the presence of the smuth within, and as the spores cannot be reached by chemicals, the only practical method of destroying" them is by the application of heat in the “hot water method.”

Bunt usually is noticed first at threshing time by the disagreeable odor of the grain and by the presence of short, thick, soft kernels, filled with a mass of black spores. As these infected grains cannot be removed from the sound wheat, a small percentage of bunt renders wheat worthless for milling. The formaldehyde destroys this, the more important smut. Do not give up the formaldehyde treatment because there are black heads in your wheat. Livestock Tour Is Next Thursday. Arrangements are complete for the Jasper county livestock tour, which will start from the court house at 9 o’clock sharp next Thursday morning, June 26th, according to the members of the sub-committee of the County Betterment association, which has the matter in charge.

and a large number have indicated their intention of making the trip. A route has been selected which will enable the tourists to see the greatest number of good animals in the least time. Breeders along the way have been notified to have their stock in such shape that it may be readily inspected. A number of speakers have been secured and a fine program, including stock judging, has been arranged after the noon hour.’

“Take a day and see what we have”'' is the invitation of the livestock breeders of the county, and every person who can rustle up a car to take his family is cordially invited to make the trip. Farmers’ Clubs. A meeting of the Jordan Township Community club will be held at the Union school house on the evening of June 24th. The program of the evening will include an address by W. A. Ostrander, of Purdue university, and talks by officers of the County Betterment association. The matter of reorganization will also be discussed.

At least a dozen outbreaks of the army worm are reported from various sections of the state. These [range all the way from mild annoy-

ance to depredations causing losses of hundreds of acres of crops. The main method of defense seems to be to recognise their presence quickly and call on the neighbors to assist in surrounding them with dusty furrows and confining them to a limited area. A careful watch on the part of our farmers may prevent a general outbreak in our county. Army Worm Ceasing Damage—Destructive Insect Injuring Crops of Locality. The army worm has made its appearance in the county and ia causing considerable damage in the grass and corn of many sections of this locality, according to County Agent Learning. In Barkley township several acres of corn have been completely destroyed and a pasture has been entirely cut off. In Hanging Grove township an army of these insects has destroyed a pasture and ia making inroads upon the adjoining corn, timothy and oats fields. As the presence of this fest is reported generally over northern Indiana, it is believed that injury may be going on unnoticed in other localities. So far the work of the army worm has been confined to limited areas so that the spread has been stopped by throwing up furrows around the fields and the insects are being poisoned by the use of poison bran mash. This mash is made up of twenty-five pounds of bran and one pound of Paris green, which are mixed dry. One gallon of molasses, one gallon of water, a little salt and the juice of four lemons are added to the mixture which is sown broadcast in front of •the advancing worms. Good results are being reported, but a warning has been issued urging prompt action to prevent the pests from spreading. Past visitations of the army worm have caused heavy financial losses in various parts of the state and farmers are being advised to nip the present outbreak in the bud.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

That “Non-Partisan League” in North Dakota. Van Hook, N. D., June 10, 1919. Jasper County Democrat: Find enclosed draft for $2 on subscription and apologies for the delay. Crops are fair here but we need rain soon. We are to have a state referendum election June 26 to try to kill off some of the vicious Bolshevik laws' passed by the legislature last winter by a so-called farmers league. This league is financed by the farmers but is run by a bunch of red socialists and I. W W., who have nothing at stake,’ and the laws they enacted would be a slam on Russia. They call themselves non-partisan, but they are the bitterest kind of partisans. Their strength lies in class hatred and class legislation. If they ever try to organize old Indiana, for decency’s sake do not give them a foothold at all. JOHN T. HALEY.

CEDAR LAKE, MECCA FOR BIBLE STUDENTS

One* Plaaaura Rasort for Sunday Excursionists Convsrtsd Into Groat Religious Conference Ground. REV. PAUL RADER AT HEAD Cedar Lake, one of nature’s beauty spots in Northern Indiana—for years a pleasure resort for Sunday excursionists who came down from Chicago usually for a day’s fishing, boating, not to say drinking—has undergone a remarkable transformation. As a Bible conference ground this picturesque spot which has gained rapid recognition in the laßt three years promises to bring Indiana into national prominence. Cedar Lake as a meeting place for great religious leaders, where programs of nationwide interest may bq carried out. will have a new interest for every citizen who is pVoud of his Hoosier state. For years the lake was the goal of the Sunday fisherman. Its waters were alive with bass and croppie. The fish are there yet, but the Sunday riot has gone. The popping cork, the clinking glass, the ribald song that once disturbed the peace of this beautiful, restful place, have given way to the inspiring music of great choruses and the songs and anthems of music loving folk, bent on clean recreation. The directing genius of this new and growing religious institution — the man who has wrought this magic change where people of all evangelistic creeds may enjoy the benefits of a profitable outing—ls Paul Rader, the pastor of Moody church, Chicago. A big man who does big things Evangelist Rader saw these possibilities in 1914 and with his co-worker, E. Y. Woolley, general manager of the Cedar Lake Conferences, mapped out a program that this summer is to see a most successful fruition. The heads of the Conference departments announce they have many attractive conference events ahead for Indiana people this year. It is impossible to picture the charms of this pretty religious resort since a master hand has worked the great change. The beautiful lake sets In the picture like a sparkling gem. Overlooking the lake is the high plateau comprising 80 acres of great forest trees. To the westward stretches a pleasant, pastoral landscape and a gorgeous sunset that lights up the woodland with beauty. From Cedar Lake Conference grounds on a pleasant afternoon this smi>*tig view must fill the soul with delight. Natural beauty and charm Is mani-
