FARMERS NEEDING S fcl TXLIXS BTTH.EATJ, AT STATE CAPITAL. IXDIANAPOI IS. IND.. May 1. Oat of a total of 6.000.000 acres of corn land in Indiana, more than 2.000.009 acres remain to be plowed, according to reports received by G. I. Christie, state food director, from over the state. This situation, he says, raises a very serious question in regard to the food supply for the coming: year, for, unless ths farmers are able to plow up all of this land and plant their crops they will not come through with the big: crop of corn that was promised. Wet weather has interfered with farm work and delayed the breaking: of corn land. Christie says that the farmers of Indiana face the greatest task in the next thre weeks that they have ever had to deal with, for corn must be in the ground rot later than May 20. lie says it will he. ft very great job for the farmers to break the remaining- 2.000.00!) tcs of corn land, and then prepare all of the fi.ooo.doo acre and put the seel in all of it by May 20. There will be considerable difficulty in breaking all of the 2.00,0.000 acres even with (rood weather, for there is a creat shortage of horses and mules on the ftirms. Horse power is badly needed, and where to pet it is a problrm. He says, however, that there are many horses and nules In the state that belong to counties, cities and public work contractors, and that every one of the.e horses should be turned over to farmers for the next three weeks. He says it would be much better to allow road work and otliT public work to rest for that length of time, because unless the corn is planted within 1he next three weks it will not be planted at aU. He i ssid he would take the matter up with county agents and the labor committees of the county fanners organizations and urge thm to look after the horse power question. The various batteries of artillery in the state, also, have a lot of horses that may be drafted for farm work. There are .12 at Fort Wayne and others at Lafayette. Purdue and elsewhere, and inasmuch as the troops wilt not be moboltel f.r possibly another two or three wee-ks. Adjutant General Smith has told Christie these hofses could be used for farm work. t1 m LOWELL Mr. and Mrs. T w. Ragon, tr. W. C. ijuiricy and P. F.

These remaining sets are the very last in the whole world, printed on the famous India paper, that can be offered. They are printed on the last India paper manufactured before the war made it impossible to get the special kind of flax from Belgium, Ireland and Germany and hemp from Russia for the making of India paper. No more of these raw materials is available, or will be procurable for years after the war, for the making of India paper. And the only sets of the Britannica for sale anywhere in the world, printed on this beautiful paper, are right here in America. Orders have greatly increased in the last month the sales have jumped to an average of more than 2,000 sets a week. This fact makes it certain that the few remaining sets will not last beyond 2 or 3 weeks. If you know the Britannica, know how useful it will be to you, and are quite sure you should own a set, order it immediately. This is your only assurance of getting it. When the last day is announced on which we can accept orders with any prospect of filling them, it is reasonable to expect a great rush of orders to come in at the eleventh hour. This was shown' last June when a slight increase in the price was made on account of the increase in the dost of bo ok ma king materials, and we received over 17,000 orders after the last day. .
