SEED TREATMENT

' FOR INCREASING YIELD JRVIIEAT First Step in Campaign to Increase Wheat Crop to Start August 1.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., July II. First 'steps toward Increasing Indiana's wheat production via the pure-bred, disease-free seed route will be taken as a feature of the campaign this year to Increase the yield. D. 8. Myer, state leader of the wheat drive, made this announcement today, when he told of seed treatment work which will start about August 1. in half the counties of the state. The hot water method of controllng loose and stinking smut, and other diseases which come from the seed, will be used. "This Is not a plan which we wish to have taken up on every farm or very generally, because the hot water treatment requires expert care and attention so that the germination of the seed will not be spoiled in the treatment. Our work along this line will be to have seed treated by men from

the botanical division of the extension department of Purdue University or the Department of Agriculture, who are familiar with the methods that

must be followed to make the plan successful. .1 "We hope to have perhaps, two to six farmers In 30 or 40 counties have enough seed treated this year to sow two acres 'or any small amount this fall. From this tract, then, next year, he will have seed enough for his entire crop which may be used the following year to supply some of his ' neighbors. By having a few men in - these counties take the pains to learn the hot water treatment and how to do It thoroughly without damaging the seed, and by taking precaution at threshing time, within three or four years every farmer in the static can have seed free from smut which has caused such a big loss in the state this year. The yield is going to be increased considerably when thsse diseases are wiped out."

Pursuance of such a plan this year will be a big step toward obtaining .better seed not only for wheat, but

other crops in Indiana.

Cool Weather and Ravages of Pests Cuts Indiana Apple Crop

LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 18. IndH

ana's chances of six weeks ago for an apple crop of a million bushels above normal have gone glimmering and instead the prospects now are for a crop that will be somewhat below normal, according to a statement made by H. H. Swaim, secretary of the Indiana Horticultural Society, who is cooperating with the extension department of Purdue University. The cause for the failure of the apparent bumper crop of & few weeks ago is the unusually cool weather of the

Spring in some sections and the rav-l ages of various pests. His estimates,

were based on reports from all sec

tions of the state since July 1.

"It Is worthy of note," says Mr.

Swaim, "that the commercial orch

ards which have been given proper care report a high per cent crop while those more or less neglected in many cases are an entire failure, due to the insects or adverse weather conditions. Some localities, however, were subject to severe cllmatio sonditlona to account for the loss of the crop."

JEFFERSON FARMERS TO MEET TONIGHT

Hagerstown. Ind., July 18. The regular meeting of the Jefferson Township Registered Men's club will be held in the Hagerstown opera house tonight This place has been selected as the meeting has been made an open

affair and all farmers of the community have been Invited to attend. J. C. Kline, Wayne county agriculture agent, and Hall Pod of Richmond, will be the speakers. The meeting is scheduled to begin promptly at 8 oclock. This will be .one of the biggest meetings the registered men of this township have held since their organisation, and farmers are especially urged to attend as Mr. Kline will talk on hog cholera, a disease which has spread considerably throughout the county of late, and will explain methods of combating It. He will also talk

on proper kinds of fertiliser to use on the farmland on the seed wheat fields that have been selected throughout tho county.

ACCOUNTING OF ALL CLASS 1 MEN ASKED

An accurate accounting of all men in Class 1 in the selective service, has been called for by Provost Marshal General Crowder, according to a letter received from Major Robert Baltzell, state conscription agent, by the Richmond board, Thursday morning. Major Baltzell said that the state department must know the exact number of white and colored men who registered on June 5, 1918, and on June 5, 1917, who are now In Class 1, by Saturday of this week. AH calls for July are to be deducted from this report, and no cases counted that are now pending before the district board. The reports, according to Major Baltzetl's instructions to the Richmond board, must be sent in by telegram on Saturday morning, July 20. Only those are to be counted who have been physically examined and placed in Class 1, and are qualified for military service. The purpose of securing these re-' ports from local boards at this time, the letter said, is that they may be sent to the war department so that the exact number of men available in Class 1 for the August calls may be known.
