124 Wayne Men Enrolled in ' ' Five-Acre Corn Contests

LAFAYETTE. Ind., July 13. Fiftysix couties are listed in the five-acre corn contest this year and the enrollment wil run between 750 to 1,000 farmers, who are competing for the gold, silver and bronze medals offered by the Indiana Corn Growers' Association. Agricultural Agent J. C. Kline of Wayne county has reported the largest enrollment which is 124. Union county corn growers have enrolled 115. Other counties with a large enrollment are: Dearborn, 34; Franklin, 24; Greene, 44; Morgan, 21; Fountain, 43; Tippecanoe, 46; Rush, 19; Johnson, 31 Fayette, 28; Hancock, 15; and Carroll, 16. The difficulty experienced by many corn growers to get suitable seed last spring, together with the recent "Billing frost in the northern part of the state, has had no material effect on tie enthusiasm displayed by the fiveacre contestants. Recent reports from county -leaders to J. A. McCarty. of the Purdue University Extension department, who has. charge of this event, show that the contestants have a good stand and they are going to stay in the contest to the finish. . Many of the men are taking hold of the project this year as a food production measure, endeavoring, not only

The Italians rapidly are clearing up the territory taken from the Austrlans in western Albania and preparing for further attacks. Between Berat and Lake Ochrida, the French have occupied all the territory between the Devoli and Tomorica rivers except near the confluence where the Austrlans still hold out. Prisoners taken by the French in the Tomorica valley have increased to 400. Supporting the Allies, the new government set up in Siberia has proclaimed Lieut Gen. Horvath as provisional ruler. Gen.

Gold medals will be given all men who grow 100 bushels or more to the acre; silver medals to all growing 85 bushels and less than 100, and bronze medals for all growing 75 to 85 bushels per acre. RED WEEVIL FOUND IN WHEAT FIELDS

(By J. C. Kline) Severar'Uelds of wheat are badly infected with the larva of a small fly commonly called the red weevil. Since this Insect Is very detrimental and since a number of fields are badly infected In Wayne county, I am publishing methods of combating it, and the history of the Insect. The wheat midge, conntarinia trlticl, commonly called the "red weevil," is a very small, delicate fly which appears on the wing sometime in June, usually about the date when the fireflies first appear and the blossoms of the locust trees are fading and falling to the ground. The eggs are laid in a cavity or groove at the upper end of the outermost chaff, so that the young maggots, on hatching, can readily reach the. incipient kernel. These reddish larvae imbibe nourishment from the milky kernel, ceasing to feed efter the grain becomes hard. When full grown they seek the earth, generally by crawling down the stalk when it is wet with dew or by sliding down in a raindrop. Going about onehalf inch beneath the surface, they make cocoons not larger than mustard seeds, very difficult to find, In which they remain until the following summer when they again issue as flies. However, many of the larvae have not !ft the heads by harvest time and these are carried into the barn or stack; they soon become dry and shrink away from their skins, becoming "cased larvae;" these do not feed; they again become active when thoroughly moistened, even after having lain quiescent for more than half a year. Sinc9 the chaff from the threshing machine contains countless numbers of these "cased larvae," it should be promptly burned; the bulk of the

straw can be put to its customary use without special danger. All seed wheat should be well fanned or screened to prevent sowing midge larvae along with the seed. ' The screenings should be burned. The great majority of the midge pupae burled in old wheat fields. Rotation of crops will be of some help In controlling them, many of the flies becoming lost and perishing1 while .hunting new fields In which to lay their eggs. However, the only' thorough remedy is to plow the stubble under in the fall or early spring to such a depth that the files cannot make their way to the surface the next year. This is best done as soon after harvest as possible. Plowing to a depth of 8 or 9 inches is sufficient. Burning the stubble before plowing will help. Early varieties suffer less than late, and wheat sown at the nor-

I mal seeding date suffers less than that

sown late. ieignDornooa co-operation in all these remedial measures is important.

PREVENTION OF HOG CHOLERA DISCUSSED

FOUNTAIN CITT. Ind.. July 12. At a regular meeting of the Registered Men's Association of New Garden township, J. C. Kline, county agent, spoke to the registered men and farmers of the township on prevention and treatment of hog cholera. The first speech of the evening was given by Hal Pod of 'Richmond and was in the nature of a patriotic address. In Wayne county twelve out of every hundred hogs die each year, the county agent said, and that makes a loss of 355.000 hoes annually In this

county. The most of these die from

cholera alone. The cholera disease Is divided Into

'three classes, he said, the acute, the

sub-acute and the chronic. When the hog has an acute case he Is sick about seven days and seldom recovers. In the sub-acute cases the hog Is sick two weeks and usually gets well. In the chronic cases the nog is sick about six weeks and seldom recovers. The county agent advised fanners against using any of the so-called rem. edies for cholera, because as far as known there is no cure for the disease. He Eaid that the remedies had been tested and were pure "fakes." He told how to vaccinate the hogs for cholera and Baid the animals should not be vaccinated until they

weigh about fifty pounds in order, to

save a, second vaccination. The Purdue serum is absolutely pure, be said, and is made by experts. The county agent advised the farm

ers not to ouy tne usual run or ieruiizers. The usual factory fertilizer is

iwcmie per ceou 01 mi iiruuzcr, w said and the other eighty-eight per cent, is filler which Is nothing more nor less than fine sand and gravel. He said that the farmer could purchase the material to make the fertil- , X i i i , . . ,

iter ana mue n aimseu muca cnemper than he could buy it and that way save paying freight on all the extra tov1 that in in thm hrtlllur '

He also advised the farmers to be'

very careful about the kind of seed wheat they used as there may be weavel and other trouble in the wheat and if that kind is planted a poor crop will be the result. After the speech a business meeting was held and a motion that the registered men drill with the Liberty Guards was considered and voted down.
