THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Peter Plummer and family of Goodland and Henry Hochbawm and family of Crown Point visited Thoa. Florence and family Sunday. Since horse trading has passed out of style, Ford trading is rapidly taking its place. To prove it: Charles Florence traded his Ford for another one last week.

FOUR OORNEBS Wheatfield is to have a new telephone system. A nice shower visited the north part of Jasper county Wednesday forenoon, which was thankfully received. One of the Davis & Wills machines finished its “run" Monday and is now threshing on a new run west of San Pierre. W. I. Hoover came through Wheatfleid Tuesday evening with a new Dodge' car, which he had secured at Valparaiso for a customer. Dr. Fyfe •of Wheatfield stepped off the train Tuesday evening for a few weeks’ stay wlth> his family, the same old sport. May his stay be prolonged. In the ball game Sunday at Wheatfield the Michigan team was shut out by the Tefft-Wheatfield boys. Gerald Maloney pitched for the home team and proved he had all a pitcher desired speed, curves and control. Frank Clager and the Myers brothers have rented the Barnard land for next season in Kankakee township, which had been farmed for several years by Mr. Minor, who, it is reported, will purchase a farm and live a rather retired life. Wheatfield is talking a homecoming for everyone, especially for the boys who have returned from overseas. The proposition is taking form and if perfected the old ball team, the Wheatfleid Regulars, will be seen in action and a social good time for all. The Dodge that failed to dodge is the one owned by Wm. Fitzgerald. Sr„ and drove by Will, Jr., over near Valparaiso, when the car came in contact with -an interurban car near Flint lake. No one injured but the car was decapitated, the fenders badly bent and the occupants badly frightened. Keep your foot on the brakes. The switch-plug was taken o<ut of the switchboard at Wheatfield Monday and the phones were put on the “blink.” This line has been giving such poor service that Mrs. Dunn, who had charge of central, could do nothing for the subscribers and nothing financially for her services, quit the job. Had it not been for a meddlesome mattie, It is said, a new man would have put in a new service and put north Jasper in touch with the outside world and once avnln nn the map. What do you think of a would-be booster who obstructs?

The Neighborhood Corner

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Learning.

County Farmers’ Meeting Is Being I Arranged. Joseph Kosta, of Union township, has been busy arranging for a meetling of the farmers of Jasper county with representatives of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ associations to be held in the near future. The meeting will give the officials of the state organization an opportunity to explain the purposes of the federation and the means being used to 1 carry out its ideas. It will give the farmers an opportunity to infonn themselves fully upon the policies that 'the organization expects to 'pursue and an opportunity to judge .the benefits that will accrue from 'membership. Mr. Kosta has received [word that this meeting will be held at Rensselaer in the near future I and asks all interested to watch the 'papers for more definite announcement. More Hessian Fly Expected. | A gradual increase in damage from the Hessian fly the next few years is the prediction of James Troop, entomologist of the experiment station, in a statement issued last week. “The time is fast approaching when the Hessian fly pendulum will swing back towards a maximum crop in the future. I have received some complaints this summer. There will undoubtedly be more next year. Your farmers should therefore take due notice and govern themselves accordingly.” Quite a little fly infestation was noticed in various parts of the county this year. According to Mr. Troop, this will be worse each year for several years. The fly free dates recommended for this par£ of the state are from September 23 to October 3. Experienced wheat growers of this locality like to get the wheat in early and give it a good start before winter. Sowing on the earliest fly free date and the use of enough commercial fertilizer or manure to put the wheat in good condition for the winter is a practice which will doubtless prove most profitable over a series of years. University Exhibit to Be Shown Thia Fall. G. M. Frier, head of the department of short courses and exhibits at Purdue university, was in the county recently arranging for space for an exhibit that the university expects to make in connection with the livestock show this falL According to Mr. Frier, the exhibits being prepared this year at the university are more elaborate and complete than they have ever (been before and embody mote new features than have been used for several seasons. For example, one of these from the 'poultry department, shows the culling of farm flocks. Two hens are shown, one

of which produces fifty eggt P«r year and ons one hundred and fifty eggt. How to detect the poor layer and weed (her out as an unprofitable bird is shown in the material on exhibition. Another example in the animal husbandry work is the exhibit showing how much cheaper it is to produce pork by corn, tankage and pasture than by corn alone. These and similar striking features will make a valuable addition to the show. Barley for Hog Feed. Fanners of this locality who have been growing a little 'barley each year for early hog feed will be interested ia the results obtained by C. M. Vestal in studying the value of barley for hogs. He draws the following conclusions: “Barley is an efficient feed for fattening hogs. “It is about 90 per cent as efficient as corn. “Hogs fed barley and tankage in self feeders will eat more tankage than if fed tankage and corn.

Now All You Good Fellows, Come Fill Up Your Pipes WSm' 15c The Velvet tin is twice as big as shown here I®™ IF ever men are “Tom” and “Bill** to each other, it’s when good pipes are a-going. If ever good pipes go their best, ’tis when Velvet’s in the bowh For Velvet is a mighty friendly smoke. ™ Kentucky Burley is the leaf that Nature made for pipes. Wholesome and hearty, honest as the day. And Velvet is that same good Burley leaf; brought to mellow middle age. For eight long seasons Velvet “meditates” in wooden hogsheads, throwing off the rawness of “young” tobacco —truly “ageing in the wood.” Out Velvet comes—cool, calm and generous—the tobacco Nature made good, kept good and made better. ' Velvet’s sweetness is the sweetness of good tobacco, not “put on” like “frosting” on a cake. Its mildness comes from natural ageing, not from having the life baked out. Its fragrance is true tobacco fragrance, not a perfume. And Velvet makes an A Number One cigarette. Roll one. 4 As good old yelvet Joe says: “Fill yo’ heart with friendly thoughts, Yo’ mouth with friendly smoke— An’ let the old world wag.” -the friendly tobacco

“Combinations of corn, barley and tankage have excellent feeding values. “If barley is cheaper per cwt. than corn a reduction in costs of grain can be secured by forcing nogs to eat more barley 'by mixing it with the corn and tankage.” The results indicate that our hog raisers might make a more general use of barley for early bog feed., Cera and Poultry Association to Moot. A meeting of the members of the County Corn and Poultry association will be held at the court bouse Thursday evening, August 21, at 9 o'clock, according to the announcement of Jesse Snyder, president of the organization. The purpose of the meeting is to make plans for the annual exhibit this season. Among other arrangements the time and place will receive consideration as well as the selection of judges and the adoption of a premium liat. The meeting is open to the public.
