The Farm and The Fanner By William R. Sanborn

Farmers Interested in the ear-to-Wr system of corn testing will meet at Whitewater next Monday evening. I It is expected that all in the township Interested in more and better corn will be present. At the recent meeting at Bethel, 13 farmers signified that they-wanted to Join an ear-to-row club, and those who want in on the proposition at Whitewater are to be added, Couniy Agent Murphy will give a talk. "I have 30 acres of wheat that looks promising and 20 acres, that is N. G.," said Charles Martin, living on

,the Liberty pike.' "The fly got the 20 that was planted early. As to hogs, I wintered 15 brood sows, all of which farrowed in February and March, and the losses were so heavy that there are but 39 spring pigs on the place." Mr. Martin is farming 188 acres, displays some very fine seed corn, and nays that he intends planting 56 acres in his usual rotation. His Wheat All Gone "A ditch is the fanner's best friend," remarked A. P. Johnson, of Union county; "at least, it works 24 hours a day, and is the only thing on the farm which does. The farmer is content with 8 hours at hard labor before dinner end 8 more before bedtime." Mr. Johnson said he had done ft Jot of dKchlng this spring and is a great believer in good drainage. He reports 38 acres of wheat all shot to pieces, end will replant In corn and rats, "1 haven't plowed an acre yet," aid he, "and, the season being late, have bought a tractor to speed up the work." lie is a corn enthusiast, is to be in the 5-acre contest, and will Tnt in as much corn as his rotation will stand. Twelve brood sows produced a fair crop of cold-weather pigs, of which but 21 survived. Won't Need to Buy Corn "Well, yes. 1 still have a little corn left and that first crib contains over

FOUND AT LAST! AN OPTIMISTIC FARMER Sylvester Thomas of Dudley township, Henry county, says he never saw a better stand of oats than this spring In the early-sown fields. On being asked about the reports of late sown opts rotting in the ground, Mr. Thomas said he never knew this to happen, and he has known years when the seed was exposed to a severer (test than this year. However, he has not seen many good fields of wheat In the county, and stated that i on a recent trip to ConnersvIIle he did not fcee a Bingle field of wheat worth saving between Milton and Connersville. On the other hand, he was in Michigan some days ago, and there he saw as fine a wheat prospect as he ever looked upon.

son, living near KltcheL "I wintered' only 17 brood sows last winter and

have 73 fall pigs which are doing fine, and a small bunch of spring pigs Which came during the cold weather, of which litters I lost a good many. Many others make the same complaint around here as to their early farrowings." Mr. Gregerson said he was going to cultivate all the land he can care for, being so far unable to get help. He sowed a total of 45 acres to wheat, half of which may make a fair crop. Everett Little, a Union county man, reports planting two 20-acre fields of wheat, one of which looks good, the other "mighty doubtful." Mr. Little wintered 14 brood sows; has 95 spring pigs and a bunch of feeders. The home place contains 137 acres, and he is renting additional land. He is to plant 40 acres to corn, but until the ground dries out will be busy superintending the brick layers and cement men who are improving the farm home.
