Arbor Day in Indiana Arbor day has a special significance for Indiana where the State Conservation commission has been making a valiant fight not only to preserve many of the scenic spots of the commonwealth for the use of the public, but also to educate the people to the value of trees.

Recently it asked that the highways of Ind

iana be lined with trees to afford shade for motorists and travelers and to supplement the trees that annually are being used by our industries. It is estimated that 4,000 wood-using industries

in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio depend upon trees

for their prosperity. They are making inroads on the timber sur

plus. More than 200,000 persons depend upon the continuation of these factories for their livelihood.' About $700,000,000 is invested in these factories. It is apparent at a glance that the value of our few forests is almost incomprehensible, and that it is incumbent upon us to plant trees to take the place of the ones that annually are being converted into commodities.

There are many acres of land along the creeks and on some of the hill tops of Wayne county that are not tilled. They could well be planted to trees, especially of the kind that are U3ed in the industries. The conservation of our forests is an important question not only for the

nation but also for every political unit of Indiana. Arbor day presents a fine opportunity to perform a patriotic service. Every tree planted in 1920 will in future years be of value and service to the nation. Once we looked upon our splendid forests as handicaps in our agricultural development. They had to give way to the acrea.of corn and wheat upon which our national prosperity depends. But

OATS WORTH DOLLAR

ON CHICAGO MARKET; IS THE HIGHEST EVER

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

. YOUR INSTINCTIVE IMPULSES

Most people grow commonplace and tread in fear because of repression. Our instinctive impulses are natural. They quite frequently get us Into trouble as they run into set conventions, but they make our personalities all that they aro. Nearly every child has a distinct personality. And it Is free and attractive, because it is so impulsive. As people grow in age, they start to repress, so that to many the perfectly wholesome acts of those who are younger are almost a shock. But to the mind that ever is growing, a new world is opened up each morning. The more you express what you think, the more generous In viewpoint do you become. And the finer visioned, also. So that, after all, your instinctive impulses are quite a Bate and Bane guide to honest conduct. Not every thought that we have is good and worth expression. But the more that we do express what is good and worth while, the more are we able to express at all. The viewpoint of the unschooled Is always interesting because It is always personal and original. It isn't colored up with opinion. The province of education is to bring out and to create, but in too many cases it reacts and kills off honest expression. Do not be ashamed to obey your instinctive impulses. Natural society acts as a protectorate to Itself. So that if we are taught to regard the feelings of others, our very freedom of action comes forward to spur us individually and to lead others along with us.

"Oh, John, dear," whispered the bride anxiously, as she peered through the window, "its the man from next door. I am afraid your hammering has disturbed him." John hastened to greet the visitor and began to apologize. "That's all right," said the neighbor heartily. I don't mind the noise a bit. I've only come to ask if you'd mind me hanging a picture on the other end of the nail."

"Do you know," roared the little Man, "that your great hulking brute of a bulldog killed my wife's dear little unoffending, ethereal, heavenly pet poodle?" "What about it?" asked the brute. "WeH," said the little man. looking carefully around to see that no

John came across a little picture of

to meet a simon-pure, all-wool bull on

the hog market, you can find him over near Oxford, Ohio. Just listen to him: "The man who stays with the hog business right straight through is the man who is going to make the money," said L. L. Schultz. "This i3 no time to weaken or quit; hogs are bound to go higher, in my opinion. The fact is I am guessing that we shall see hogs as high as they have ever been within the next six or eight months, or pretty well toward top figures."

Mr. Schultz pins his hopes on good

red hogs. Says he has tripled the number of his brood sows within a year, and has found a ready market

for breeders. He says that some of

the farmers around Oxford are improving their herds, because they are learning that it pays. Asked as to the loss of piglets of this spring's crop, he stated that "there is a pretty general complaint of the loss of February pigs and this will add to the shortage. Shortage there is bound to be, for many a hog man seems inclined to quit at the wrong time. Am not speaking of this vicinity only, but it seems evident that a lot of men who buy shoats to feed will lay off for a time. I have some neighbors, however, who still have faith in hogs and will raise all they can conveniently feed. The big feeders who splurge and buy their young stuff are the ones most likely to pull out for a time." Talk of Cutting Acreage "There has been some talk during the winter of our farmers cutting down cultivation, but what that will actually amount to when the planting season opens up, we can't say. There was also quite a little talk along in cold weather about loss of pigs around here, and we understood, too, that

some farmers did not winter their usual number of brood sows, not lik

ing the prices paid for hogs," said W. II. Tulpf, of the Farmers' State bank at College Corner. "Taking into account the loss of pigs and the sale of sows by some of the farmers, as reported, we may not raise the usual number of hogs in this vicinity this year." Arcanum Man's Views. Now and then in cold weather some of our farmers not only lost as high as 50 per cent of their little pigs, but also a sow or two, where they were not fixed to take care of them right, mostly because of the steady cold for days. No doubt fall pigs also suffffered, unless farrowed early, and some of these died, as well as a lot of February and March arrivals. I lost a few pigs myself," said Charles Buzzard, living on a route out of Arcacnum, "not a great many, but enough. "Don't think many farmers sold off their brood sows, have an idea there are about as many here as common, but on account of loss of pigs, and the fact that heavy feeders generally are likely to cut down. It Isn't to be expected that we shall raise as many hogs as last? year. While help Is scarce, we are going to try to farm as usual, at least I shall. There was no lack of tennants here on March 1, and all our farms are occupied. Where there is a shortage of renters It is usually because the farms are large, taking a lot of capital as well as help to handle them." Has Not Yet Dceided. "Shall I raise as many hogs this year as last? To tell the truth." said

have not yet decided that question, but if the market keeps firm, I shall probably try to. So far as I can hear, my neighbors will feed as many hogs as in any normal year, though not all of them will feed as many as they have under the pressure or a war demand for meats. There Is one thing against us; there has been quite a loss of pigs, in some instances running as high as two-thirds of the early farrowings. Not all were that unlucky, for many lost but a few, some, perhaps, none at all, but taking the total the loss has been considerable. As to brood sows, dsn't think they were marketed. As to cultivation this spring it looks as if the usual rotation will be followed, as far as the

farmers are able, though help is scarce. Hardly think there will be as much tobacco put in as last year,

some saying they will pass it up this year, or will reduce the acreage devote.d to the weed. The labor shortage hits the tobacco men hard. Right now there is no monthly hands to be had, and the same is true as to hands hired by the day. Everyone who wants work has it." The world's champion Jersey Is owned at Bangor, Me., and her record

All the plans have been completed for a co-operative live stock reporting service by the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations working in conjunction with the United States department of agriculture, which, if successful, will be a great aid in the marketing of live stock in this state and tend to steady the marxet along with a more even supply from day to day. The project calls for a listing of all cattle, swine and sheep from each township in the state along with data showing the number being used for brood purposes, the approximate date the stock will be ready for the market and other information calculated to give the reporting service an exact line on the available supply. In addition to tables which will be sent to the various county units of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations, and turned over to the township units every three months to be filled out, a 10 day service is to be tabulated at the headquarters of the farmers in this city. Lewis Taylor, general secretary, said that the quarterly reports will show when the stock will be ready for the slaughter houses and that the farmers will he advised from time to time concerning conditions, so that they can keep an even flow of live stock on the market and thereby do much in the way of obtaining steady prices. "A meeting in every township of the state has been called for March 31," said Mr. Taylor, "and at that time the farmers will be called upon to fill out the blanks we have prepared."

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. Cash oats sold at the record price of $1 per bushel on the sample tables of the Chicago board last Thursday, making a new high, this being the first time in the history of the board that a car of any kind of oats ever brought an even dollar per bushel In that market. At the same time Ne. yellow corn sold as hich as $1.64, with the May option selling above $1.59 and July delivery at $1.52. The close of the market showed a loss of over 2 cents per bushel. At the week end May corn had broken back to $1.521,, but advanced 4 cecnts from the low on Saturday, to $1.55 at the close, in a

pure gambling deal. It is worth noting, too .that No. 1 white oats sold at 95 cents for top in the cash market on Saturday. Chicago is the highest corn and oats market in the west; stocks in elevators are light; cars are scarce and

country roads so muddy that Illinois farmers can't deliver the corn already

sold to the country elevators. Over a Billion on Farms.

Recent government reports showed

more than a billion of corn on the farms on March 1, or about 238,000,000

bushels more than on the same date

last year. The market editors are

agreed that there is actually a sur

plus of corn here, and that Argentina will have 200,000,000 to export, and at considerably lower than our prices, bo that the export demand will likely be insignificant. Then why pay these high prices? Well, the crop isn't well distributed and there is a shortage at speculative centers and they are playing ball with what they have on hand. Hogs Firm and Higher. When a dozen loads of hogs sold

at $16 on Wednesday at Chicago, they struck the highest mark since early in last October. They didn't stop there, however, but reached a top of

$16.30 on Thursday, oh 30 cents above

the previous high for the year. The top on Saturday was -also $16.30. The week's receipts were heavy at 163,700, and the average weight at 185 to 200

pounds brought the top prices all

week. Cattle ruled steady at about

prices ofTrevious week; the same was

true of sheep, but lambs were off 50 cents at $19.15 for top.

Indianapolis Market. The highest price paid for a car of

hogs at Indianapolis in March was

$16.65 on last Saturday; the highest truck load brought $16.75 on three different days last week. Steers made a top of $13 on March 1; a top of $14 on March 10 and a top of $14.50 on last Saturday.

Choice lambs sold up to $19.50 on

March 10, but there was nothing on

offer last Saturday to invite better

than a $17 bid. A few fancy calves

sold at $21.50 at the week end, against $22 on Friday.

Broilers marketed in June in Chicago last year brought 15 cents per pound over the late hatched that were marketed in September. Soy beans may be planted in the corn hills and harvested at the same time; can be cut and stored as silage or hogged down. Both sheep and hogs do well in such fields. The beans are easily threshed and yield up to 40 bushels to the acre, making a profitable seed or feeding crop. Average crop on fair soil 25 bushels to acre. The soy bean is a soil builder. The champion steer exhibited by the University of Nebraska sold at Denver for 40 cents a pound; weight 1,660 pounds total $664. The steer, an Aberdeen Angus, was an old-timer, being just 100 months old. A crop expert estimates a reduction of 5,000,000 hogs and of 2,000,000 cattle, compared with the high record in war days. He says that former forced production may be followed by such a decline in feeding as to almost threaten a meat famine. The coolers are still loaded with meat, however. Twelve hens at the agricultural college farm at Corvallis, Ore., made a record of more than 300 eggs each in one year. One hen laid 330 and two others 323 eggs each.
