will be held on the Charles Doctor farm, 5 miles south of Rensselaer on the Remington-Rensselaer road, Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 2 o’clock. The Purdue experiment station has been conducting a series of potash experiments on the farm thlq season,, involving 20 or 25 different methods of soils treatment in relation to potash. The results of the treatments can be inspected at this time and those present may draw their own conclusions. The meeting will be in charge of Prof. S. D. Conner of the soils department of the experiment station, who will interpret the results and answer any questions relating to soil fertility. Prof. C. G. Woodbury, director of the experiment station expects to be present and well as other representatives of the soils and crops departments. For the benefit of persens not acquainted with the location of the farm, a party will be made up and leave the court house at 1 o’clock on the day of the meeting. It is believed t'hat every person who owns or operates land in Jasper <county will be interested in the objects of this meeting and all are invited to .attend. Shipping Fever Causes Losses Purchasers of feeding cattle are being urged by the Indiana veterinary department to their animals against shipping fever before they leave the yards. The disease is especially prevalent this year and it is not uncommon for feeders to lose one or more animals shortly after they arrive on the farms. Cases have been reported in this county which have resulted fatally. The farmer who loses one or more of his feeding cattle during the season has but little chance of realizing a profit from his feeding operations and prevention of this disease should be undertaken by every feeder.

Classification for Livestock Show , Complete The classification of the animals in *the Jasper County Livestock show, which will be held in Leek’s barn and lot at Rensselaer October 16, 17 and 18, has been completed and provides premiums on every class of cattle, sheep, and hoge (produced bn the farm. All animals shown (must be pure-bred with the exception of horses and mules, where sires only are required to be pggig tcred Department superintendents report that they have jiad unusual success in their efforts to secure entries and a good show is anticipated. Beekeepers to Hold Session The Jaspdr County Beekeepers’ association will hold its regular fall meeting at the court house Wednesday afternoon, October 1, at 2 o’clock, according to Frank Foltz, president of the association. Dr. E. G. Baldwin will lead the discussion of "Ideal Wintering” and other important subjects will be treated. The public is invited to attend this meeting and persons desiring to learn of beekeeping w4ll find it of absorbing Interest. War on Tuberculosis As a result of th# government’s drive against bovine tuberculosis, a number of local breeders of purebred cattle are arranging to have their herds tested this fall and winter. While imany herds have been cleared of the disease there is still a possibility that some may* still be infected. During the month of May 4.2 % of the cattle tested by the federal government reacted as tubercular. The work done in this county -up to the present time shows that the .percentagfe here is at least as high.

Two methods of eradicating tuberculosis are possible. The first is to have the cattle tested twice a year by local veterinarians, disposing of reacting animals as directed by the veterinarian doing the work. The other method is to have the work done by federal Inspectors, who will direct the method to be used In disposing of reactors, and after the herd has passed two successive tests will certify the herd, permitting the shipment of animate into any state without retest. In either case, compensation Is made for reacting animals. Probably no phase of livestock improvement is as Important at the present time as tuberculosis eradication and it is hoped that every breeder will avail himself of the help offered In cleaning up his herd.
