INDIANAPOLIS. IND.. July 30. The farm labor situation In Indiana Is nrnval, acctfrding to information given out today from the office of G. I. Christie, superintendent of the extension department of Purdue University. While there is a slight shortage in some sections, the situation has been somewhat relieved by the modern Maude Mueller's who are working with rakes and hoes to increase Indiana's food production. While considerable harvesting already In progress, the general harvesting has not started, which may account to some extent for the normal farm labor supply. Reports from county agents so far indicate that the labor supply at present Just about equals the demand. ' Enlistment of school children and boy scouts In the farm labor movement Is said to have proved of considerable aid in making up the deficit in the ranks of professional farm hands, many of whom have volunteered to federal service or will bo called out In the draft. A number of prominent Indiana farms are urging that men found physically unsound and discharged from military service under the draft law. but whose defects are of a minor nature, be placed on farms. This movement has met with the approval of county agents and hundreds of farmers.
INDIANAPOLIS. IXD.. July SO. Warning to Indiana wheat growers to beware of unscrupulous dealers selling wheat for seed was issued today by the Indiana committee on food production and conservation. The warning said: 'XTnscrupulous dealers already have agents in a number of counties in Indiana selling wheat for seed for "which they are clamiing exceptional yielding power. This game is so old and daring and has proven false so frequently it seems that every "farmer in the state would-be wise enough to adhere to standard varieties of wheat. "It was only a few years ago when variety of wheat called 'marvelous and miracle" was sold in Indiana and Ohio with the claim that one or two pecks to the. acre was sufficient; in soma cases it was urged that more than one peck to the acre would reduce the yield. In regard to this wheat the Ohio Agricultural Experiment station says, 'This wheat was seeded according to directions at the rate of one peck to the acre and also at the rate of eight pecks in order to test the validity of the claim. For comparison, the .Mediterranean wheat was also seeded at both rates, alternating with the marvelous. The yields were as follows: Marvelous seeded at the rate of one peck per acre gave a yield of 7.39 bushels per acre; seeded at the rate of eight pecks 30.86 bushels per acre. Mediterranean seeded at the rate of one peck pe racre gave a yield of 11.41 bushels; at the rate of eight pecks. 35. 86 bushels.' "Often these highly advertised and costly varieties sold by dealers are nothing more than some, ordinary variety with a new name. Reports of the work of these unscrpulous socalled dealers are daily coming to the attention of J. C. Beavers, state leader of the wheat campaign. Pursue has sent men into vario'us counties of the state and has reserved for seed the fields of the best wheat. This seed is not sold for any fancy price and most of it will be better than some highly advertised old variety with a new name. "If you are not satisfied with your own seed wheat, get seed from some of the fields selected in your community." ;
INDIANAPOLIS, July 30. Canning difficulties and how to avoid them was the subject of a lecture today to Indiana housewives, delivered by Harry
E. Barnard, unofficial food dictator for Indiana, through the medium of the United Press. Barnard's newspaper lecture Is the first of a series he will deliver to Indiana women, telling them how they may give valuable aid against the country's enemy by helping conserve the nation's food supply. "A full supply of fruits and vegetables canned from the surplus stocks that, would otherwise waste in fields and orchards Is the ambition cf thousands of housewives who have for years neglected to use the preserving kettle." Barnard said. "The food they can is their contribution to the conservation of our food supply. "Careful adherence to the rules for canning will .prevent most spoilage. The home economic experts of Ohio State University have pointed out some of the difficulties that the inexperienced canner will meet. "'Rubbers popping out from beneath the top during sterilizing may be due to poor rubber, to too large a rubber, or to too much pressure from the top. The top and rubber must be removed, a new rubber and top placed and the Jar returned to the canner for about five minutes. "Spoiling may result from the use of old rubbers, from keeping Jars in a place that has alternately cold and warm temperatures, from breaking the seal of Jars by attempting to
tighten the tops after the can has cooled. ' 'Jars may break when there is not free circulation of water about the cans, when a cold can is placed in hot water, or a hot one in cold water, when a oan is placed in a cool draft. " Shrinkage of vegetables may be caused by insufficient blanching. An due to improper blanching and cold dipping. ' " 'Bubbles that show after sterilltatlon do not affect the keeping qualities of the products. " 'Cloudy appearance of the liquid in the cane may be due merely to overcooking which forces out the interior of the product or to very hard water. "'Flat souring of corn. peas, beans and asparagus, is a condition giving slightly sour taste and objectionable ocdor. and may be due to allowing the vegetable to stand too long.-. As soon as each Jar is filled, it should be set in the canner so that cooking is not delayed. " 'Over-cooking may not always be objectionable, but it is likely to happen with fruits which require a short time for sterilization. Cooking is going on while the water is coming to the boiling point, and ,if this time is prolonged, some deduction should be made from the time given for steriliz-

AT PICKETS IS LETTER
WASHINGTON, July 27. Voicing & protest against the members of the National Woman's Party for picketing the White House. Mra. Alice H. Wadsworth, President of the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage, and wife of the senior senator from New York, has sent a letter to President Wilson, in which she says: "As a loyal American citizen and a lifelong resident of tha . District of Columbia, I wish to protest against the wilful and persistent disregard for law and order systematically displayed by the members of the National Woman's Party. "Tour action In pardoning the sixteen women sentenced to Occoquan was one of clemency and not of justice. It was proof of your tolerance and magnanimity and showed your appreciation not so much of woman's rights as of her duties. Advertised Their "M:artyTdin
"Tha women had been repeatedly
warned that further violation of the laws would be punished and they had arrogantly and defiantly courted arrest. They went to Occoquan rather than pay the small fines imposed, simply to gain tha notoriety and publicity of sich an action, and then, with a transparent mental dishonesty that Is almost Inconceivable In persons of'normal Intelligence, they advertised their martydom to the cause of Suffrage. , "In spite of the obvious Justice of their sentence you let them go because their families needed their services, but will their families reap tbs benefit Mr. Hopkins warned you that 'the picketing would continue.' He was right it has continued. , "The American public Is good natured and long suffering that was well prov

en of this war, but are not orderly and law-abiding citizens entitled to protection from annoyance? Is It wise to fan the flame of class Jealousy allowing the deportation from the state (in cattle ears of undfcrisable citizens in one section of the country and permitting women of wealth, family and position to violate the laws and go unpunished In another? And not only unpunished but actually demanding what they consider reward for their misconduct. "riles oa tha Wheel. " "Can it be necessary that, to preserve peace within our borders in this time of stress and imperative need for progress the machinery of the government should be halted that these flies on the wheel may bask In the light of publicity?
"They who prattle of 'democracy and strive to force the will of the few upon ihe vast majority; they who shout of patriotism and defame the good name of their country In the hearing of other nations; they who prate of equal rights, but who will not observe them under law Mr. President, are these to be trusted with the solemn responsibility of Suffrage?"
