To Grow Kudzu. Peter Hordeman of Union township is arranging for an experimental plot of kudzu on his farm next season. Kudzu is a leguminous vine from the south which is said to be giving remarkable results on the light soils of that region, producing a luxuriant growth of forage of high feeding value. Authorities claim that it is probably adapted to the light sandy soils of northern Indiana and it is with this idea in mind that Mr. Hordeman is beginning his experiment. Should his efforts meet with success, (t will be a

valuable addition to Indiana crops. Home Betterment Association Will Meet. , Mrs. Frank Schroer, president of the County Home Betterment association, has called a meeting of women to be held in the court room Saturday afternoon, Oct. 25, at 2 o’clock. Reorganization, progress reports and a discussion of present day problems of farm women and methods of meeting these problems will be features of the meeting to which all are invited. Shorthorn Herd to Be Tested. W. Eh Wortley of Jordan township has made arrangements with the bureau of animal industry for a tuberculin test of his herd of Shorthorn cattle with a view of having it placed upon the U- 8. accredited lists. The cattle will be tested once each year by a government veterinarian and after the cattle have passed two tests successfully, the bureau will certify that it is free from tuberculosis and permit the shipment of the cattle into any state without retest. The accredited (herd plan is gaining in popularity in this county and the indications are that before the winter is over a large number of cattle breeders will take advantage of the opportunities that it offers. Poultry Keepers to Meet. A meeting of the Jasper County Corn and Poultry association will be held at the court house Thursday evening, Oct. 30, according to Jesse Snyder, president. The purpose of the meeting will be to make further plans for the annual show, to be held in Rensselaer Jan. 5 to 10. The association is leaving nothing undone to make this the best show of corn and poultry possible and persons wishing to take an active part in promoting the good of the county along these lines are invited to attend the regular meetings. Show Stimulates the Demand for Good Stock. That the recent livestock show had the effect of increasing the interest in good livestock in a very tangible and measurable way is Indicated by the orders that have been 'pouring in to the various exhibitors since the show. In certain lines Of cattle and hogs, breeders are completely sold out and in other lines orders have been increased in some cases 200%. It would appear from the sales records that the show not only gives the exhibitors the first chance to sell to persons who are already in the market for pure bred animals but it stimulates the purchase of good stock on the part of farmers whose previous interest was only casual. A good clean farm product exhibition is a distinct asset to a comimunlty. Thinks Horse Breeding Should Be Emphasized. Horse breeding has the most promising outlook of any phase of .animal industry, in the opinion of the state livestock committee, which met last week. The committee poifts out that the number of pure bred stallions kept in the state has decreased 2,000 in

THE TWICE-A-WE EK DEMOCRAT

the last few years and that the nnsmlber of mares bred to each stallion has decreased until there is no prospect that there will be enough horses to supply the demand with the most phenomonal development of the farm tractor and the truck. One member of tho committee has said: ‘‘Twenty years ago we saw breeding horses selling for thousands of dollars apiece, while good breeding cattle had to be disposed of at beef prices. Just now the cattle breeders are riding on a wave of prosperity because everyone wants to get into the cattle business and has forgotten about the horses, which are more or lees of a drug on the breeding market. With a horse fattndne in sight, I predict that the horsemen are due for a period of prosperity and that good horses are going to be the best form of farm property.” • Shipping of Feeding Hogs Discouraged. The practice of shipping in feeder hogs from central stock yards has cost the farmers more than they have made out of the extensive feeding business, according to Dean H. J. Skinner of Lafayette, most of the outbreaks of hog diseases being attributed to this practice. While hog cholera is being well controlled, there are a number of other little understood hog diseases going by the name of ‘‘mixed infections” and septicemia, against which little progress Is being made, and which are responsible for heavy losses in some sections of the state. While biological products houses afe recommending bacterins for the control of these diseases, the dean believes that their enthusiasm for this line of treatment is greater than conditions warrant and he feels that prevention is better than cure. In the past few years Jasper county has been freer from hog diseases than most other counties and this may be due in a large measure to care in selecting feeder hogs.
