BED WHEAT PROBLEM IS SERIOUS THIS YEAR

Purdue Experts Warn Farmers to Take Extra Precautions in Buying Extra Quality Seed. Seed From Own Farm Ought to Be Thoroughly Tested Moreover to Determine Germination. , ''The queition of teed wheat for Indian farmers la a serous one and deaerves careful consideration," says Prof. M. L. Fisher of Purdue university. The unusually wet season this ha left the seed wheat proposition in a very serious condition. Very few farmers were able to thresh before the wet weather began. The result was that much of the wheat sprouted In the shock. Observation at the various elevators throughout the the state showa that the wheat being put on the market is of a very low grade, much of it grading not better than No. 4, and much of it grading as sample. "While the majority of the farmers will have to sow what they have, yet a great deal can be done to improve the quality of the seed. First of ail the seed should be thoroughly cleaned with the fanning mill. Not only should it be thoroughly cleaned, but It should be carefully screened. Medium Sized Best. "All of the sprouted grata and others which did not sprout but swelled up, can be either fanned out or screened out. The medium sized grains which have not swollen from being wet In the shock will make the best ed. In fact it will be better to sow the small plump grains rather than the large grains. Two or three times through the fanning mill with attention given to the screens will so greatly Improve the quality of the wheat that it can be sown with assurance of success. In many cases the grain may have heated after it was threshed, due to the Tact that it was put in the bin or in a large heap when it was too damp. Such heating has destroyed the germinating quality of the grain. Where the grain has been heated it will be well to make a germination test to see what the germinating quality of the grain is. "This germination test can be very easily made by counting out three one dred-grain lots and sowing them in a box or in the garden, or they can be germinated on plates between folds of damp cloth. Three lots should be used In order to have a careful check on the results. After the wheat has come up or sprouted, counts should be made to see what per cent, of germination has taken place. If less than 90 per cent, germinates, the amount of seed sown per acre should be increased over the usual rate or else new seed obtained."

RULINGS Strong opposition to City Attorney Bond's efforts to limit the operations of the L. H. & P. company to Richmond consumers, was recorded to the Commercial club directors last night. The board expressed itself as being opposed to any efforts of the city to restrict the selling power of a company so that it could dispose of its product only in Richmond. While couched in general terms the action was a direct blow of disapproval at the city's injunction suit to prevent the private electric corporation from setting poles and stringing wires through the city on which to carry current to Liberty, Brookville and New Paris. The directors argued that expansion could come only through any industries efforts to embrace wider markets and that the city's action was an attempt to thwart the growth of industrial Richmond.

ROCHESTER. X. Y., Sept." 7. That half of our present infant mortality could be prevented if existing knowledge of the hygiene of lnfaats could be universally applied, la a statement generally accepted and fairly well sustained by such statistical evidence as is available, said Louis Merian, assistant chief of the National Children's Bureau, in an address before the American Public " Health " Association here today. The infant mortality Investigations conducted by the Children's Bureau are designed not to disclose new principles of infant hygiene , or new facts concerning the diseases that causes infant deaths, but if possible to' demonstrate what social and economic conditions are preventing the general application of our present knowledge. The work of investigating consists of two parts; A general , extensive study of social and economic conditions in the city investigated, and an intensive study of the conditions surrounding all the babies born in that city In a given year following them through their first year. The material regarding the individual baby is secured from the mother by a woman special agent who calls at the house. City Statistics Marriage Licenses.

"Before . a minister of the gospel should enter the evangelistic field," said Rpllin A. Bennett, evangelist at the Central Christian tabernacle, "he should take a twenty-year post graduate course which should consist of five years in one of the hospitals of Chicago, five years in Indianapolis a telephone operator, five years as chief of police in Richmond, Indiana, and five years as medical doctor in New York City. Then he might understand that . sin is ' mountain high in this country," The subject of his sermon last evening was "Defiling the Temple." Denounces Sinners. "Man was made in image of God," he said, "but no one could tell it by looking at the ' man of today. You cannot tell by watching the actions of tome folks whether they came from the Garden of Eden or from a zoological garden.') "Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy would have some people believe that they are not sinners, but they just think they are. I . wish I could get some of you old lobsters of Richmond to think you are. If .1 can do that you will hit this trail before this meeting closes. "Man is wonderfully made the masterpiece of God but sin has marked his body. . You can tell a man SUGGESTS CHANGES IN KEEPING STREETS OF RICHMOND CLEAN A general demand for the adoption of a systematic method for the clean ing of the paved streets of the city will probably be heeded by the board of public works in a short time. - One of the board members said today that he "supposed" when thet new broom -for the street . sweeper,, purchased .by the city last spring, arrives, the street .department will be instruct: ed to sweep the streets as well - as flushing them. He admitted that the policy of flushing the streets without first sweeping them had been proved a dismal failure. "It has only resulted in leaving the gutters like hog wallows," the board member said. He also expressed a doubt as to whether one sweeper would be sufficient to keep all the paved streets as cleanly as they should be. Suggest Districts. The plan of having the city divided into four or five districts with a street repair man assigned to each district has several times been suggested to the board as the most practical method of keeping all the streets in good repair, filling up holes in the unimproved streets as rapidly as they repair, and keeping the paving, of the improved streets in good condition, but so far the board has failed to act upon this plan. At the board meeting today the chief of police was instructed to place fifty "no parking here" signs on Main street between Fourth and Eleventh streets and on Eighth street between the flrs.t alley south of Main street and Sailor street. Work Is Delayed. City Engineer Charles called attention to the fact that under the contract the work of concreting Sixth street from South A street to Ft. Wayne avenue was to have been completed by September 15, but the work had not even been started as yet. The board voted to extend the time for compyrOig this Improvement to October 15. The same contractor has the contract for concreting Sheridan street, but only about half that work Las been finished. The board voted not to accept the work done on improving the alley between South Seventh and Eighth street from C to E streets as the concrete paving work was defective In workmanship. Pools of water stand in the alley most of the time, the board was informed. There are said to be S00 uses for the palmyra palm, which grows throughout tropical India. RAD NOR Arrow JIOLLAR
