Farmers Federation Organizing On Sept. 13 the farmers of Jasper county will begin to organize their organization. Mr. Mathlson, a farmer, will be with us during the organizing in the 13 townships. He is a live wire but he can not do a successful job unless we are willing to be out and help. The other counties are organized all around us and are doing good work and are g6tting ready for the agricultural problems that may come up at any time. The Prairie Farmer is full of the good that the federations are doing in the west. Come and hear Mathison on the first-hand news of what the state of Indiana is doing along this line.

The boys were taken by County Agent Mawhorter to Purdue

last Monday to receive instructions in judging. The boys are showing a great deal of interest and it is hoped that we will hear from them at the fair. The contest at the fair is held Tuesday, Sept. 7, beginning at 8 o’clock in the morning. The boys have already received passes in to the fair for all the days if they want to stay that long. Poultrv Culling Demonstrations There' will be two more culling demonstrations held this season. One will be at Mr. Van Hook’s Friday morning, Sept. 10, at 9:30. The other will be held at George Myers’s farm in Jordan township, Friday afternoon, Sept. 10, at 2 o’clock. Everybody is Invited to attend. They are worth while. Please remember the dates and come. Don’t sow your wheat until after ’Sept. 26. Last spring was a good lesson for sowing early. Going to the picnic at Winamac Sept. 9? Tractor Plowing Demonstration. There will be a tractor tion near Rensselaer Tuesday, 14, in the afternoon. Watch for notice of place. The dealers of Rensselaer are behind this project. They wish to pull off a clean demon-

stration which will not only show up the different tractors but be a benefit to you, giving you an idea of the amount of ground that you can turn over Jn just a short time, etc. They are certainly a* laborsaving devise and by actual experience I have found this to be true. Good plowing and a well-pulverized and packed seed-bed always produces the best wheat. Come and see the demonstration.
