FRANK LACKEY SALE RECALLS OLD DAYS OF COUNTY RACING
By WILLIAM R. SANBORN What Is possibly the largest collection ot antique fruniture; rare old mahoganies that have mellowed with the years; ancient tables and comfortable old rockers of a past generation; four poster beds, both short and tall, to be seen in all Indiana, may be viewed at the Frank A- Lackey home at 1P7 NorUi Twelfth, street, Richmond. An Inspection shows a most surprising assortment of fine, old-fashioned
furnishings, the accumulation of years. J
Indeed the spacious old home is filled from cellar to garret Just now, because these treasures of two families are to be dispersed, at a sale to be held Saturday. Mr. Lackey announces that this sale: "Will be given, by F. A. Lackey and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Hush D. Miller, this being an absolute closing out sale of all her household goods." To Mrs. Miller's collection of antique furniture, oriental rugs and curios, are added some choice antiques and coverlets of Mr. Iackey's gathering, over a number of years. In this offering are three antique chests of drawers of our grandmother's days, a couple of old mahogany bureaus, four fine old library clocks, four high poster beds and several low posters, used before the modern mattress was Invented.
"There are antique dishes and glassware, mirrors, pictures and bric-a-brac, without end, and a collection of solid mahogany pedestal and leaf tables to delight those whose tastes hark back to our forefathers' days; the days of solid woods, hand carving, and of furniture built to last a hundred years. Of Interest to Horsemen. Aside from what has been written about antiques for the home there Is a collection of especial interest to horsemen. To begin with there Is Alatlon, 2:15 on a half mile track, and who was formerly owned by Senator Matt Quay, of Pennsylvania. He is a blue ribboner, wherever shown. Then comes a collection of racing sulkies. Jogging carts, track harness, coach harness, horse suits, blankets, race horse packing trunks, horse boots of all descriptions and, last but not least, 10 Brewster two-seated heavy driving rigs. The pioneer who can recall Sanford Lackey, the first merchant In Cambridge City; his son John Lackey, who gave 27 annual horse sales in that town, following in the steps of his father, who was a dealer in all kinds of live stock for many years, will also know that Frank A. Lackey helped to make the annual race events at Cambridge City a "go." At the Lackey home is shown an old race meet bill, dating back to June, 1873. The meeting lasted four days, was held under the auspices of Cambridge City District Agricultural society, and the purses hung up aggregated $20,000. Those were lively days in Cambridge City, and its mile track was known all over the country. The members of the executive committee were: A. B. Claypool, W. S. Wilson, E. G. Loveland, Sanford Lackey, L. L. Lawrence, H. C. Meredith and Rueben Beartsch. The three comprising finance committee were: John Calloway, Isaac Kinsey and Charles Boughner. James McCaffrey was the general superintendent and the premiums were divided between
trotters, pacers and runners. There was something doing in Cambridge
City in the old days.
The Farm and the Fanner BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN
"Of our three fields of wheat," said R. P. Lindsey of Cambridge City. "I consider one as good, the second fair and the third poor. There are nearly 100 acres in the three. Wheat Is certainly looking better than the early promise; some wheat has Improved greatly, but even so, we are not expecting more than a half crop." "The last of the corn is going in now, there being a few belated fields. We have 97 acres planted and are working it for the first time. Most of our neighbors are also cultivating and corn has made a good start, in the main. I am feeding 160 fall pigs and have about 200 spring pigs in the clover. At present .price of feedstuffs hogs are losing farmers a lot of money, say about $5 per 100. The cattle feeders are just as badly hit, and it is safe to say that every feeder in this section has lost money on every car shipped since last August." Is Plowing Corn. John Holland, of Cottage Grove, has 75 acres of promising corn which he Is plowing this week. Says that he has some pretty good wheat and some not quite so good; that the fields look "spotty" down his way. Mr. Holland
complains of losing about half his ear-!
ly spring pigs and many of his neigh bors fared just as badly, mostly be cause of cold weather.
Light Pigs Marketed.
According to Raymond Chenoweth, i
of Hollansburg, there are comparative-,
ly few pigs on the farms near there.
In the first place the loss of March and
April pigs was quite heavy. Of the fall crop of hogs many fanners have sent these to market as "lights", to save feed bills. Very little feeding is
being done, the balance of the fall pig crop being on grass. As to wheat
prospects Mr. Chenoweth says he has
32 acres which has perked up a lot in the past three weeks and is looking a good deal like a crop. Young clover Is all right, he says, and Is making a good stand. All the corn Is in, around Hollansburg and harrows, cultipackers and rollers are kept busy Just now.
Corn Being Cultivated In Some Parts of Indiana A summary of weather and crop conditions in Indiana for the week ending Tuesday by J. H. Armington. of the Indianapolis weather bureau, follows: Nearly normal temperature prevailed during the week, while no rain fell except on the last two days, when there were showers, mostly light, and there was an abundance of bright sunshine. As a consequence of these favorable
conditions practically all vegetation made rapid growth and improvement, especially wheat, rye, truck .and gardens. Wheat is badly infested with fly In some localities, but as a rule the crop now averages from fair to good.Rye is headed generally. The sudden change la9t week to dry, warm weather has not been quite so favorable for oats, hay and meadows, but, nevertheless, good advance Is reported for all of those crops, although there 13 considerable weediness in some pasture fields. Corn planting proceeded rapidly and is now completed, or nearly so, in most of the northern half of the state, but there Is much yet to be planted in the south. Conditions were excellent for germination of the seed and young corn is coming along in fine shape, and some cultivation is already under way. There is some complaint of ravages of moles and worms in a few localities. Peppermint in the north is reported fair to good. Much work in setting tobacco and field tomatoes
was accomplished in the south. Fruit prospects, on the whole, continue very favorable.
Farm Federation
A call was issued yesterday by Lewis Taylor, general secretary of the Indiana Federation of Fanners' associations, for a special conference of county representatives of the wool growers of the state to be held at headquarters In Indianapolis Tuesday. Mr. Taylor said that a number of the county associations have failed to receive satisfactory bids after pooling their wool clip, and to market the product at the prices offered would mean a loss to the producers. The conference will be called for the purpose of devising ways and means of handling the situation. According to figures compiled by E. E. Reynolds, treasurer, 86 of the 92 counties of the state have affiliated with the state organization. Each county of the federation has been requested to send at least one representative to the wool growers' conference. The regular quarterly meeting of the board of directors and officers is to be held the day before the wool conference.
PEACH CROP PROSPECTS 29,240,000 BUSHELS With prospects bright for a bumper peach crop this season, the United States Department of Agriculture is calling attention to the Immense value of a fungicide with which brown rot, one of the most serious menaces -to the peach industry, can be controlled. The 1920 commercial crop is forecasted at 29.240,000 bushels.
Clover Rot Affects Ohio Fields; To Be Investigated So prevalent has rot been infesting clover fields of Ohio the department of botany at the Ohio Experiment station, Wooster will conduct a special Investigation of the disease during the coming season and harvest. County agricultural agents in all parts of the state have been asked to send specimens of diseased clover plants to the station and Individual farmers are invited to send plants which give evidence of being diseased. Usually root rot becomes noticeable from the darkening and deadening of a part of the leaves. The roots are particularly affected. The fibrous rootlets disappear leaving only a short tap root to support the plant. In addition the plants are stunted and a dry decay develops in the crown. Occasionally a white mold-like growth Is found on the roots, specialists say.
left the home of his daughter, Mrs. Milton Barrow, Sunday to visit hLs son, John Alstott. Since telephone service was cut off while the swHcU board was being changed, Mrs. Barrow could not talk to her brother until yesterday, when she learned that her father was not at his son's home. Both Nfamilies started searching for him and finally discovered him hanging to a fence about half way between tho two homes, his head and. half his bouy resting on the ground.
