MUCH PLANTING IN WEEK; HESSIAN FLY APPEARS IN WHEAT

The weekly crop report of George C. Bryant, field agent of the co-operative crop reporting Bervlce for Indiana, Is as follows : "Plowing and planting proceeded very rapidly during the week, although In the southern part of the state much work Is yet to be done. "In some of the southern counties, a preat deal of the corn planting Is yet to be done, while In the northern part of the state It la practically completed, except in the bottom lands. Some plowing is yet to be done in the bottom lands In all sections of the state. There is some talk of an increase in corn acreage, but this is doubtful. "Reports of Hession fly in winter v.heat are now commencing to come in. Some fields are badly infested, although the general appearance is much better than previously reported. Joint worm Is also very prevalent In some districts. "Nearly all the oat fields look good and weather conditions have been favorable. The same is true of barley. "Much of the rye is headed out and generally In good condition. Some of the pooreY fields are now being hogged down. "The high price of seed potatoes has materially reduced the acreage. "All hay crops are in excellent condition generally. Clover is heading in the southern counties and cutting will commence in about ten days. "All truck and fruit crops are in fine condition. "Preparation for tobacco setting Is being pushed in the southern counties. Conditions axe very favorable. There Is an abundance of plants. Acreage will be Increased. "All live stock is In good condition. Feeding operations are not as extentfve as usual. Practically all feeders sewt money during the past season. "Pastures areln excellent condition except where stock was turned on too soon.'

Fishing Season Here; So Are State's Fish Wardens The fishing season once more is at hand in Indiana and, figuratively speaking, so are the fish and game wardens of the department of conservation, say an announcement Monday. However, the constabulary need not cause true sportsmen worry in fact will accentuate and Improve the sport, because the wardens are to eradicate so far as possible the fish pirate, the dynamiter and the user of seines, to the end that game fish in Hoosier waters will have a chance to propagate through a natural law of nature. Richard Lieber, director of conservation in Indiana and chief of the game warden service, says strenuous and relentless efforts are to be made to free the state of that unlawful element that has gone far to deplete our once fine fishing waters. Because the dynamiter destroys more fish than a dozen hatchcries can propagate his type will receive special attention. Men who resort to seining to procure their fish will be watched closely and wardens are charged not to overlook the many who at some time during

me season nsn witnout a proper

license. More than 20,000 persons.

members of 100 fish and game asso

ciations, will supplement the warden service.

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. 8 AN BORN

A. I Baldwin, of Webster, tells of his experience in wheat sowing last fall, as follows: "On September 11 and 12, 1 put in a seven acre field of wheat; on the ISth and 19th sowed 10 acres, and from the 28th to 30th sowed the final 88 acres.! Now for the results. The fly got the seven acre lot; the 10 acre field was badly damaged, while the 38 acres escaped the fly entirely and looks like a normal crop, if nothing further prevents. The 10 acre field has developed greatly of late and looks as it would run 10 bushels to the acre. The first field planted was plowed and sown to oats." Wheat Sown on October 1. "I sowed one field of wheat on Oct. 1, and that field looks as fine as any in our neighborhood," said Albert O. Kamp, living five miles southeast of Liberty. "I helped a neighbor put in his wheat considerably earlier, and his field was caught by the fly and Is looking thin. After planting his wheat I was delayed by rain, which proves to have been lucky, and that is why I was so late. There are a good many oats In now on account of the condition of early sown wheat and good stands are the rule, I sowed some oats myself and expect a good crop. Corn Is not all in yet but will be completed by the middle of the week, I Judge, One of my neighbors still has 45 acres to plant. My spring litter averaged eight pigs, but they came late and were saved. Half of tho early pigs, those coming in cold weather, were lost." Planted 84 Acres In. Corn. The finest piece of wheat the writer discovered on a sixty mile drive last week, was the 80-acre field owned by Elmer McGrew, at Jacksonburg. It is the real thing in the wheat line; stands at a uniform height, is as close as a mat, and of splendid color. Mr. McGrew said he had finished planting 84 acres in corn on Wednesday, and had come up for air, after a strenuous 10 days in the fields.

"NO BINDER TWINE," IS COMPLAINT OF FARMERS The co-operative trade department of the Indiana State Grange has had more trouble than its share, it feels, according to a letter sent to Governor James P. Goodrich by F. W. Boyle, manager, explaining that farmers are still experiencing great difficulty in getting binder twine from the Hoosier twine mills at Michigan City.

WOOL MEN HOLD ON COLUMBUS, Ind., May 31. At a meeting of the members of the Bartholomew county wool pool, held here Saturday It was voted to hold the wool of the county, amounting to about 1,500 clips for a higher market.

People of the middle ages believed the best remedy for an aching tooth to be an application of serpent's skin steeped in vinegar.

PIG GLUB ENTRIES MUST BE REGISTERED

Pigs to be tised In the Wayne comity contest of the pig club organized by the boys and girls of the county must be pure-bred and eligible to register, according to the rules drawn, up at a meeting of committeemen from breeders .of Duroc, Poland China and Chester White bogs at the courthouse Saturday night. The club contest is to be held some time In August. Pigs entered must, be between 45 and 55 pounds, and their owners must be between 10 and 18 years old. Prizes up to . the value of J20 will be given.

They must weigh their pigs at the beginning of the contest and again at its close, and must tell the kind of feed used. Amount of time spent nor the amount of feed. Is not required. N or way Maples Diseased; No Remedy is Known Norway maples of the county have been affected this spring by a disease upon which the following Information has been given out: "These trees for the most part are suffering from a physiological disease about which no specific data can be obtained. The trouble seems to originate in the roots, gradually affecting the whole specimen, until death results. "The symptoms are very characteristic in that In some instances the trees have thrown out very little, if

any, foliage this spring, whereas last fall they were In seemingly good

health; in others only separate limbs

die, the bark of the affected portion becomes loosened almost Immediately

upon death. "The present remedy for the trouble Is to cultivate the trees, giving a light top dressing of sulphate of ammonia or well rotted manure. This proceedure will tend to stimulate the trees generally, as it Is conducive to luxuriant foliage and may be the medium for slightly affected specimens to overcome the trouble."

Farm Federation

Word has been received by state

officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' association that the uniform plan of combining this year's wool clip through the county unit system is meeting with great success and will save the producers In this state thousands of dollars.

FEEDERS OF SHORTHORNS HAVE AVOIDED LOSSES The breeder of Shorthorns of today is reaping the benefits of his prudence In improving the live stock of the country. The feeder of the big steer has in the last eight months In many instances, lost from $15 to $35 per head on his feeders, but the feeder of baby Shorthorns is still in the clear. The recent slump in prices of beef on the hoof has not affected so unfavorably the delectable flesh of baby beef, for which Shorthorns are noted. The quick-developing blocky Scotch type has demonstrated that, in spite of the stock yards strikes, coal strikes and lailroad walkouts resulting in a failure of transportation seriously affecting the farmers Interest, it is profitable to feed cattle if the right kind are selected. There are not enough good Shorthorn breeding cattle in the country.
