c NEW PARIS FARMER TELLS WHAT'S WRONG I WITH SPUD OUTLOOK

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. A telegram to a Richmond broker from Lansing, Michigan, Tuesday, ttated that they were "shipping potatoes to Indiana points at $7.50 per cwt. in ear lots." The price in Lansing means about ?1.C0 per bushel on track in Richmond, freight paid; or say $11.50 for a 150 pound bag. What the dealer will charge you Is up to him. In the meantime, if you can find Fuitable soil, you can help out a bit by planting a few potatoes for winter use. Mr. Smelker, of New Paris, gives us his version of why potatoes are high: Omitting any reference to the speculator who is now marketing potatoes at (7.50 for which the farmer got around 2 last fall. Few in Farmers Hands. Some few farmers still hold potatoes, it may be, but very few are now in "first hands." The farmer long since got his money for his crop. Mr. Smelker writes as follows: "Potatoes are high because the supply is not equal to the demand. The iemand is greater than the supply because too many people thought they could raise them." "Very few farmers in this section rri?e potatoes to sell. Ninety per cent of them have tried it at some time or other in their careers and have found out from sad experience that they were poorly paid for their work. As a result tlieir lushest aim and ambition is to rrse enough for (heir own use and lot the other fellow do the same, or look out for himself as best he can. Farmer Got Hard Deal. "A few years ago when potatoes first retailed at $1 a peck there was weeping and wailing throughout, the land. The farmers of this country were appealed (o. they were entreated and implored to raise potatoes and help save the nation. The farmers responded nobly with a bumper crop and their 1 atriotism was rewarded by getting fbout $1 a bushel for potatoes whose seed had cost them $1 a peck. Meantime his fity brethren was getting cost phis 0''r and in many rases cost plus 100T-J-- This kind of a dose cured most of them. They are forever immune to another attack of potato tf-vor. "I got mine years ago. The price in tlie spring was high and I planted six rrres, pxiinol inn to got rich quick. But sihis! I sold thorn at 44 cpnts a bushel and mv system is entirely and everlastingly pursed of the germs which caused potato fever. Henceforth and frr''vormor I raise enough for my own individual needs and when I feel Inclined to gainblo or eet rich quick v something easier like picking the dinner of the Kentucky Derby for instance." Monev But. Hard Money. "A friend of mine raises several p'-res. yearly and usually hauls them 17 miles to Richmond markets. He thrives on a det of hard work and long hours and has made plenty of money ft. it but it isn't easv money." Hp tells of one trio to Richmond hfn Iip sold a load of potatoes at f l.r0 a bushel and before he had them unloaded from his wagon they were v-ere beins retailed at. $3. My friend can slins; cuss-words erotind move prorr.iscously than a vaudeville performer can juggle dinner plates, and the lpnsruape he uses in describing this ;ncident would make a Texa3 cowboy bli"h. "Tast fall many acres of potatoes In Michigan were never dug because of scarcity of farm help, altho good hands made as high as $10 and $15 a dr-v. "As f irrnin rf enmfnrt o citv folks HOW APPETITE AFFECTS HEALTH Don't discourage your appetite. If you lack an appetite you may be well on the way to sickness. Appetite is the power that brings food into the stomach, and it is a sufficient quantity of food every day, which is properly digested, and properly distributed, that keeps the system strong and well. If your appetite is poor, not enough food is taken into your stomach to keep up strength and health, and sickness soon comes. Ho you know that numbers of people are slowly starving, sinking in health and strength, because they lack an appetite? That is the case. If you feel weak and run down, have headaches often, can t stand much ex ertion, never have a really well day

( and are despondent and "blue" con-

stantly, think a minute about your appetiteIs your appetite poor or do you realy eat big, hearty meals and enjoy them? Very probably you eat very little that is one of the main reasons for vour weak, headachy, run down, despondent condition of health. For remember, the appetite is important and lack of an appetite, far too often

' considered lightly, is in reality a serious thing. Without food you cannot live. With

out enouah food you feel weak and eventually your system is completely run down. The appetite brings food into the stomach. This food Is di gested and the nutrition taken from it is carried by the blood to the tissues and organs of the body, building them up and strengthening them. If the appetite is poor and does not bring enough food into the stomach, then not enough nutrition is given tissues and organs and they become weak and run down. For that reason the appetite is important. If the appetite is not well and doesn't bring enough food into your stomach, you cannot be; strong and well. One of the first things that can bet noticed after use of Vola-Tonic, j "Builder of Strength," is started, is an increase in the appetite. Vola-Tonic . brings a normal, healthy appetite and thus corrects the lack of appetite that

is robbing many men and women of V health and strength. In addition,

Vola-Tonic helps digestion, builds up the blood, soothes the nerves and thus l:elps health in every way. ' Vola-Tonic is being especially introduced in Richmond at Quigley's Five Drug Stores and is sold by one leading druggist in cities and towns all over this section. Advertisement.

Potatoes Cart Be Groan Profitably In South as Well as North

By P. G. HOLD EN. THE potato is a cool weather plant and yields best In cool soil, but potatoes can be profitably grown in the central and southern states If they are planted so that the J tubers will develop in the coolest part of the growing season and the soil is kept cool by level cultivation and the 6hnde of the Tines. Large yields of potatoes have been produced on small plots by growing them under straw. By seed selection, spraying and eirre small patches can be made to produce two or three times the yield they do. Potatoes will grow in almost any soil but do best in sandy or gravelly soil. The soil must be well drained and have an abundance of available plantfood and moisture. They should double their weight during the last two weeks of their growth and for this reason there should be plenty of plantfood when the plant needs it Begin With Good Seed; Keep It Good Commercial fertilizers can be used at a profit provided the soil is filled with sufficient vegetable matter to hold moisture. No potato grower should waste his time with seed that Is "run out" or diseased. Start with good seed, keep it good and Improve it. The most dangerous potato diseases are carried with the seed. Some diseases, when once Introduced, live in the 6oll for several years. Some live on other plants and are carried over when no potatoes are grown. Some diseases attack only tubers; some attack both tubers and vines,and some only the vines. They can all be prevented or controlled by: 1. Planting seed free from disease. 2. Treating all seed. 3. Digging out and destroying weak aud diseased hills in the seed plot. 4. Rotating crops, not planting potatoes in the same soil more than once in four or five years. The Best Treatment for Seed. The corrosive sublimate treatment Is best for seed potatoes. Use four ounces of corrosive sublimate to 30 gallons of water. Soak the uncut seed 30 minutes In the solution. Disinfect all sacks and crates so that disease will not be carried on them. Corrosive sublimate Is a rank poison. Keep the solution away from children, live stock and chickens. Use only wooden containers. Rurn all vessels and ban-els used in treating seed with corrosive sublimate. It should be said that old timers who haVo grown rich at the game, -say thtt high priced seed usually means a low priced crop and vica versa. However, I in this section at least, the present j high price of seed will tend to decrease ; the acreage as I have heard plenty of J farmers say that seed is too high to BACK BAD TODAY! Backache is usually kidney-ache and makes you dull, nervous and tired. Use Doan's Kidney Pills for weak kidneys the remedy recommended by your friends and neighbors. Ask your neighbor! Benj. F. Case, 14 South Third street, Richmond, gave the following statement in September, 1915: "I was in bad shape; I couldn't keep at my work and was laid up half the time. My back was so weak and pained so badly, I could hardly turn over in bed, and when I bent over, 1 couldn't straighten without suffering terribly. It didn't take many boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, which I got at Quigley's Drug Store, to cure me and I haven't had any sign of the trouble since." On November 22, 1917, Mr. Case added: "I gladly confirm all I said about Dean's Kidney Pills before; they are the best kidney medicine I ever used. They cured me of a severe spell of kidney trouble." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kindey Pills the same that Mr. Case had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN "In so far as elevators around here are concerned," said Walter Pedan, of West Manchester, "they are not packed to the roof with grain, however it may be out in Iowa and Illinois. We have very little grain in store and have been able to get all the cars needed, for both in and out traffic. While sunshine and showers have done the fields good, and we can see improvement every day now, we estimate only about 60 to 65 per cent of a normal wheat crop." Corn is worth $2.40 per 100, and wheat about $3 at West Manchester. About 300 Head of Hogs. Having bought 190 head of feeders. p. R. Funk says he is going to see what 2,000 bushels of corn will do for said hogs. In addition to these feeders he is interested in 100 head of spring pure bred Duroc pigs, raised by.G. A. Harter. He says he paid 16 cents above the present market basis. Mr. Funk is to plant f0 acres in corn, has CO acres in wheat and about the same acreage of March planted oats, w hich look promising. He is Reding a bunch of yearling mules and may put a lot of cattle on grass later on. He will remove to his farm home June 1 for the summer.. Planted Corn in June. Frank M. Campbell of College Corner, states that his banner crop in corn last year was planted late. He didn't finish planting until June 6. He isn't worried over the fact that he has ho corn in yet, but he has 9G acres in wheat which doesn't look good. Just what is wrong he doesn't know but instead of sending the stalks upward, "they are spraddling over the ground." Looks just now as if he wouldn't have any wheat to harvest, he says, though his grain may take an upward shoot later. All his wheat is sown to clover. Mr. Campbell planted no oats this year, but is preparing to put 90 acres in corn. He wintered but 23 brood sows, quite a cut from last year, and has 140 spring pigs to date. Ho will feed no cattle under present conditions. Says he is farming 241 acres of his own and 80 acres of his mother's land, and has all the help needed. This is the rulo now around College Corner, ho states, "though farm help was a little short earlier in the season."

Vaccination Rules For Stock Formed

Rules regarding the vaccination of hogs in public stockyards of Indiana soon are to be promulgated by the state live etock sanitary board. The board already has completed a draft of the rules and will go over it Wednesday with a committee on which W. H. Lawson, of Chase, will represent the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations, and Charles Sedwick will represent the Indianapolis Livestock Exchange. Summarized the rules provide: All serum and virus must be made under state supervision and must arrive at the yards in original packages. Manufacturers must agree that , in case vaccinated hogs sicken they will treat the hogs again, without charge, when deemed necessary by the board. Manufacturers must file price lists with the board. Purchasers have the right to select any serum. Places for Administration. Stockyards companies must'provide places for the administration of serum and virus, certain requirements being laid down in detail. The company must provide disinfectants and the like. A committee is to determine what price a head shall be charged for such service by company. State inspectors are to see that only graduate veterinarians do vaccination. When the purchaser does not provide his own , veterinarian a committee shall determine the price to be charged. Such veterinarian, other than one provided by purchaser, must not be agent for a serum or virus and must work under state inspector's supervision. Without Delay. Treated hogs must be loaded and shipped without delay. Rejected hogs must be sold for slaughter immediately. Hogs must not be treated and shipped back into country from any stockyards when they previously have been shipped through another public stockyards. Dr. L. E. Northrup, state veterinarian, said Monday that the rules simply are one of the many things the board is trying to accomplish to reduce the enormous annual Hoosier hog loss from disease.

DOMESTIC CONSUMER OF TOBACCO IS NOTICED The export trade -of the United States in tobacco products during the month of February indicates a growing tendency on the part, of manufacturers to take care of the domestic demand first. Cigars ana cheroots were the only line to show an increase over the corresponding month last year, although the total value of all products shipped out of the country during February, 1920, amounted to $4, 074,818, which was an increase of $298,243, or 8 per cent, contrasted with the value prevailing in February- 1919. Exports of cigarettes decreases 90,169,000, or 6 per cent; plug tobacco decreased 9,617 pounds, or 2 per cent; and smoking tobacco decreased 182,125 pounds, or 40 per cent.

t2 DAYS' WAGES FOR TWO MEN $113.80, SAYS HINSHAW W. E. Hinshaw, of Richmond, is preparing to remove to his farm near Cambridge City, and had two carpenters making repairs on his country home. "At first they wanted to count their time from leaving Richmond until getting back to town, but a compromise was effected. We agreed on splitting it, that is I to pay them for their time going one way. "I took them to work in the morning and brought them back for supper. They worked 5Vz days last week and collected $113.80 last Saturday in wages," according to Mr. Hinshaw, this including a trifle of overtime. NO PAY IN NINE WEEKS FOR CAMDEN TEACHERS EATON'. O., May 12 Pay day for teachers in the schools in Camden is scarcely more than a memory, for the last pay they received was nine weeks ago. The teachers and the board of education discussed the situation in a recent meeting, but the board was unable to offer the teachers much encouragement as to when the next pay day might be expected, owing to the present financial condition of the school district. The board is endeavoring to devise means to get the money.

That Ever Came to Market .4 Men Who Appreciate Superlative Values Prefer The Brunswick

In every great tire factory, the chief question is: "How much can we give for the money?' And the product depends on the policy adopted. Every man who has become acquainted with Brunswick Tires knows that Brunswick standards are again evident. This famous conc.ern. noted. as a leader in every line it entered since 1845 has once more proved that its policy is right. A perfect tire is simply a matter of knowledge and standards and skill. No secrets nor patents prevent making an ideal tire. But standards come firsts For in tire making there is vast room for skimping, for subtle economies, for hidden shortcomings. Makers without the highest standards don't build high-grade tires. The Brunswick organization of tire makers includes a brilliant staff of technical experts. Not a man
