Weevil Damages Wheat. Farmers who are not sure that their wheat stored in the bin is O. K., should examine it at once. 'lt the wheat was put into the granary dump, weevil are most sure to work in it. The damage can be enormoub both In the amount of grain destroy ed and the loss in price because ot the presence of the weevil. Weevil in a caf of wheat will put it in the sample class. Carbon bisulphide will kill the weevil in a bin of grain. Level off the grain in the bin and place shallow plates such as pie pans and saucers one in each corner and one in The center. Fill these plates with the liquid and close the bin as nearly air tight as possible for 24 hours. If the top of the bin is open and air drafts are likely to circulate over the bin, cover the wheat with sacks or blankets. Use one pound of carbon bisulphide to 300 bushels of wheat or 300 cubic feet of grain. Farmers’ Federation Meetings. The townships which are holding meetings this week are: Newton, on Tuesday evening; Hanging Grove, on Wednesday evening; Walker, on Thursday evening; and Kankakee, on Friday evening. These township meetings are being well attended and much interest is being exhibited in their business sessions. Mr. VanHook and the county agent are attending every one of these meetings, trying to give the farmers every support possible with a view to bettering the market conditions.

Chicken Stealina. It has been brought to our attention that the outlaws who are making a profession of stealing*chickens are beginning to make themselves conspicuous by the number of chickens they are taking from the different farm hen houses. This is a business among all other thefts which the farmers’ wives hate the most. After * the ladies have worked hard all summer trying to raise a fine flock of chickens and get them matured to that point where they are beginning to be of some value to them in the way of meat and laying, it is surely a low-down robbery that can hardly be expressed in words. The parties who are in this kind of business Should be stamped out by whatever means possible, whether it be by the concerted action of the neighbors in that community or the county or by the Farmers’ Federation. No doubt the only means of stamping out this annual curse is for the Farmers’ Federation to agitate the most strict and rigid laws pertaining to this kind of theft. Anybody that will stoop to such a theft deserves the most strict penalty of the law, and that penalty to be none too easy.

County Agents’ Conference. The county agents of this district met in conference in the county agent’s office in Lafayette Monday, December 13. Mr. Lloyd of the farm management department gave the county agents and the vocational teachers that were present a schooling in farm book accounting. He brought out the valuable points why the farmers should keep a record of their farm business and also showed that these records are most valuable at the end of the year in making up their income tax reports. Plans are under way to have one of these schools in Jasper county some time during the first two weeks in February. Corn and Poultry Show.
