LAND DRAINAGE RULE PROTECTS FARMERS

‘Changes in farming operations are converting more acres to roughage and at the same time, :are an impetuous for improving ithe drainage systems. Farmers in ;Indiana as well as those 'in other ‘states have had to consider the .rights o adjoining landowners when fiin anning and ins'ballingi -drainage systems. : A

. G. A. Karstens, agricultural en‘gineer at Purdue University, ‘points out. that Indiana is one of

‘the 18 states which have adopted “the Common Law Rule. The pre‘dominating theory of the Rule 1s that surface water is a common enemy. The landowner has a right to protect his land from water from adjoining land. Furthermore, the man who is located ‘on higher land cannot drain his fields by artificial channels to

lower land unless provided by an easement.

The engineer explains that all lands in the watershed can be assessed for a drainage district. The provision that a man cannot cross the land of his neighbors without consent makes for good community relations.

An important development thru experience has been the modification of the Common Law Rule %o allow a majority of landowners

in a district to demand the construction of a ditch even though a minority of owners affected voice objection,

Karstens adds that a number of states bordering one another follow the Civil Law Rule, which permits an owner on highér land to drain onto lower land and also to dig ditches on the lower ground. Under the second drainage law, the natural water outlets must be used, and water cannot be brought from anether watershed.

BIG, RED APPLE MAY CAUSE CATTLE LOSS

That adage about an apple a day keeping the doctor away doesn’t hold when the apple happens to get lodged in a cow’s throat, the American Veterinary Medical Association warns.

Carelessness of owners in permitting cattle to eat whole fruits and vegetables, or large chunks, is blamed by the AVMA for many cases of “choke” seen in the autumn months.

Surplus apples, potatoes, and similar crops can be good feeds for cattle, but they always should be chopped or crushed before being fed, the association advises.

Home Economies club members who were interested in singing met in the County Extension office September 14. Mr. Marvin Meyers, Purdue University, spoke to the group on the work of home economics chorus in Indiana and of the plan to have every county choris in Indiana represented at the national capitol Sesquicentennial celebration in June. This chorus will represent the state of

Indiana and is hoped every township in the state will have a member in the chorus.

Following his talk, the women voted to organize a chorus with the following officers which will serve until January 1: Mrs. Gwen Stout, Albion, president; Mrs. Nettie Schwab, Kendallville, vicepresident; Mrs. Hazel Fitzgerald, Avilla, secretary-treasurer. The chorus will have their first rehearsal on October 20. Any woman who is interested in joining the chorus should contact the .officers above. Anyone joining before December 1 is eligible for the Washington trip.

BLUE COMB IN CHICKENS IS SIGN OF TROUBLE

When chickens become droo-py‘ and develop a bluish tinge in the comb and wattles, the trouble is likely to be pullet disease, also called “blue comb.” Other symptoms to look for are diarrhea, shriveled skin on the legs, and greatly reduced feed and water consumption. The death rate is not high, but losses in egg production are usually heavy. Outbreaks are common in pullets just taken off the range and housed, although the disease also may strike flocks on range, and &

few cockerels sometimes get sick along with the pullets. Young birds are not immune, but those approaching maturity are the preferred victims. ; :

Because it can easily be confused with other acute and more deadly infections, such as fowl cholera and fowl typhoid, suspected outbreaks should be confirmed by laboratory diagnosis.

. The cause of this disease is not known and medical treatment is not uniformly dependable, according to veterinarians. Mineral salts given in the drinking water are believed to be of some help, particularly if given in the early {ta.ges, but sometimes untreated irds recover just as fast as treated birds.

CHECK GRAIN STORAGE ‘BINS NOW

Numerous reports of weevil infestations in wheat and oat bins have been received in the past two weeks by the County Agricultural Agent. All farmers are urged to inspect their bins closely for signs of weevil. Look for liitle brown or black beetles especially near the bottom, run arm down into the grain. If your arm is covered with flour like particles, weevils are present. Webbing together of kernels and hollowed out kernels are also signs. Treating wheat or oats should be dofie carefully and thoroughly at first signs of weevil. Carbon bisulphide may be used at the rate of one gallon per threg-hund- ; Continued from Page 6
