HODGIN COLLECTS ! a $6,609 FOR STOCK; ! RAINY DAY EVEN

-; By WILLIAM R. SANBORN "If there is a worthwhile farm sale on a rainy day. or when the fields are too wet to work, you can depend on having . a crowd," says an old-time auctioneer. . This was proved at the Ollie Hodgin live stock sale, Tuesday. And it -was a buying crowd, at that. Harry Gilbert, cashier, reports that he was able to collect $6,600 from the bunch in exchange for cuttle, hogs and corn". A ' chunk of a mare", brought p.n even $100. The sale bill announced 50 head of cattle, consisting of a few fresh cows, springers, stock steers and heifers; also 150 hoes. It was a matinee sale, and the buyers came early. Hogs Bring Good Prices. Mnrkct conditions considered, all hogs brought very fair prices. Of the feeders 40 luail averaged $23.50. another assortment sold at from $14.00 to $18.00. while the heaviest, ranging around 150 pounds, sold for $28.50 pr head. Brood sows and gilts sold well, one sow with 11 jiig'.ots bringing $')0, Mr. Gilbert slated, and others with smaller families going from $40 up. Cattle were in brisk demand. No very fancy milkers were iut up and the top on cows w:is ?fj0. with good springers bringing from $50 up. and yearling heifers at face value. There was a lot of competition for good stock steers stnd butcher stuff. Among the heaviest buyers of both cattle and hogs were Delbert Funk and Ross McKee. particularly so as io leeders. J. F. Malior nr.d Rome Shurley also produced their c heck books at the ( lose of sale. The 1.000 bushels of corn was divided. Henry Bullerdick. and Ross McKee, took the hulk of it at from $1.05 to Sl.OO'.L- and two small lots were taken by neighbors at the top price. Tom C'onniff and Simon Wedtile cried the sale.

$8 Per Hundred Paid For Coming Crop qS Potatoes; MoralPlant A Garden A Richmond broker who is in touch with potato k rowers and shippers in several st;fes. tells us that western commission men have lately bid farmers $8 per hundred for the coming crop, delivered at country stations in Michigan and Wisconsin. This would hardly anpear credible but ho avers it to be a fact, indicating that these men believe in still higher potatoes next winter, or at least with the advent of the early crops. Bermuda potntoes arriving in New York sold at $20 per 150 pound barrel on Monday. . Moral plant a garden, thn tVe nnntl f?r of it.

"Instead of planting -wheat I put in 85 acres of rye last fall" said Warner Fleisch, of Boston township, "and will plow it under as soon as weather permits." Mr. Fleisch says he will plant 100 acres In corn, and will have use

for it as he wintered 45 bro6d sows and having no feeders on hand he is in shape to await the outcome of the hog market later on. "We should have $18 to $20 hogs again," said he, "in view of the high price of corn and of everything we feed porkers, also because the pig crop has been cut down everywhere, which shortage should have due effect next fall." Mr. Fleisch states that, in spite of the high prices of potatoes, he doesn't think the farmers will put in more than enough to supply their own tables, nor will he. Wheat Looks Some Better. According to Clifford Keene, of Fountain City, wheat has "greened up considerably and is looking more promising." He anticipates that the joint elevator project of New Garden pnd Franklin townships will be ail arranged for by May S at which time a meeting will be held at Fountain City to close matters up for the obtaining of a charter and the issuing of stock. Scarcity and high prices on seed potatoes will prevent even the usual planting in some cases, in Mr. Keene's view. Is Testing Seed Corn. A bit late perhaps, should the weather warm up, but at that much better late lhan never, if you have not yet tested your seed corn. This testing of all kinds of seed is a serious business, it will mean so much after harvest days to so many. The world's food supply depends on the kind of feed sown and the generosity of the increase. In corn testing it is recommended that eight kernels be taken from each ear. A doll 12x54 inches will accomodate 20 rows, allowing space for seven or eight kernels to the row, thus testing out 20 ears. The latest testing

apparatus at faraue consists of ai modified rag doll and germinator box j outfit which discovers the corn which !

may be diseased, although it shows 100 per cent germination. The selection of disease free corn is of great importance, for disease organism not only reduce production but cause rots. Bulletin No. 236 gives complete information as to this method,

and was issued at Purdue in February. M. A. Nye, Union county agent, is testing all the seed corn to be plant-

. ed on the Union county farm by this

latest method, and is also supervising the com testing being done by several farmers. Hay at $50 A Ton. The effects of the yard men's

strikes at St. Louis was reflected in

the price of hay last week. Prarie hay sold at $37. alfalfa at $43 and

I prime timothy $50 per ton on Friday.

Consumers had to pay dealers a profit on these car lot prices.

Farm Federation

The plan of officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations and members of the permanent live stock committee of the organization

to have an agent at the Indianapolis I stock yards to look after the interests i of the producers met a snag Tuesday ! when it was learned that the opera

tive feature of the system did not meet with the approval of the members of the Indianapolis Live Stock Exchange. The farmers had made arrangements for the employment of a live stock agent, who was to assume his duties beginning next Monday. Ac

cording to their plan, producers would

have the opportunity to consign live stock to any commission merchant through the care of the farmers' representative, a fee of one cent a head on hogs, calves and sheep and four cents a head on cattle to be charged for the service. John G. Brown, president of the federation and chairman of the permanent live stock committee, has called a special session of the committee. Opposition to the Nolan bill, now in

the House of Representatives, began to crystallize Monday in Indianapolis when the board of directors of the; Indianapolis Read Estate Board adopted resolutions at a special meeting condumning the bill. The bill provides . fo anr annual one per cent federal tax

on all real estate valuations in excess of $10,000. John G. Brown, president of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations, announced Monday that in a referendum vote of the county associations in the federation unanimous disapproval of the Nolan bill was expressed. A similar stand was taken by 28 state associations of farmers in a referendum for the American Farm Bureau federation.

John G. Brown, president of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations, was in Indianapolis Monday Monday and announced a series of farmers' meetings and membership drives for this week. St. Joseph county reported the finish of a successful drive. Madison county, with a membership of 1,800, now leads all counties of the state.

It is predicted in Washington that the Volstead bill will share the fate of the Capper-Hersman bill, "because congress is opposed to any form of cooperative distribution of farm products." A correspondent writes that: "Doubt as whether collective bargaining legislation for the farmers is not prohibited by the Clayton anti-trust act, was expressed in both house and senate. Now the Volstead bill does not propose to repeal any part of the Clayton act it merely states thr- provisions of the

SAYS VOLA-TONIC IS A WONDER-WORKER -FEELS BETTER THAN IN YEARS

Although Mrs. Fannie Barton, 819 Russell street, Covington, Ky., near Cincinnati, had been in a nervous, run-down condition for several months, she said recently that she feels better than in years, since taking three bottles of Vola-Tonic, "Bulder of Strength." My nerves were all out of order," Mrs. Barton said. "At times I got so nervous I couldn't raise a glass of water to my lips without spilling it. Any little excitement annoyed me and the noise of t he children at their play got my nerves unstrung. I could not sleep at night or get proper rest because every passing vehicle would wake me up. Sometmes I got up and sat in a chair for hours. 1 was ab

solutely unable to sleep or rest. A friend of mine told me about Vola-Tonic and I got a bottle and started taking it. Before that first bottle of Vola-Tonic was gone I could see a big improvement in ray condition. I kept on taking Vola-Tonio until I had taken three bottles in all, and it worked wonders for me. I feel better now than for years, and I'm glad to recommend the medicine

! that did so much for me."

VolaTonic, "Builder of Strength." is being specially introduced in Rievmond by the five Quigley drug store. and is sold by one leading druggibt in cities and towns everywhere near here. Advertisement.

The Whole Secret of A Better Tire Simply a Matter of the Maker's Policies

This you will realize once you ry a Brunswick that a super-tire is possible only when the name certifies that the maker is following the highest standards. For tire making is chiefly a matter of standards and policies cost plus care. Any maker can build a good tire if he cares to pay perfection's price. All men know Brunswick standards, for Brunswick products have been famous for 74 years. Formulas, fabrics and standards vary vastly in cost. Reinforcements, plies and thickness are a matter of expense. And these variations affect endurance. It rests with the maker how far he wishes to go how much he can afford to give. For there are no secrets nor patents to hold one back.

To ascertain what each makef offers one must analyze and test some 200 tires as our laboratories have done. Then it is a matter of combining the best features and building according to the highest standards.' i Once you try a Brunswick you will understand how we have built model tires, regardless of factory 4 i expense. Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the same as other like-type tires. Our saving is on selling cost, through our nation-wide organization. We realize that you expect more' from Brunswicks, and we assure you that you get it. ONE Brunswick will tell you the story. And then you'll want ALL Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll agree, gives so much for; jrqur, money.
