Carbon Bisulphide is Good Gardeners' Aid

Farm Federation

E. E. Rice, Garden Supervisor. "Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways " and kill her. Ants are a pest and a nuisance. They are not only unsightly, but actually kill grass and plants by burrowing and tunneling the solL There ia one really good remedy and numbers of others, from plain scalding water up to patent preparation. The best efficient remedy easily applied is carbon bisulphide. It is not only excellent to slaughter ants wholesale, but it likewise is a valuable insecticide for pests that infest earth, such as root aphis, worms of various kinds, and It is also one of the surest molecides there is, and any one who has had a garden riddled by mole runs, knows the difficulties of trapping these pestiferous little beasts and the destruction they cause in a single night in a lawn. Bisulphide of carbon in its commercial form is a rather thin liquid that smells like concentrated rotten eggs. It volatizes readily at a low temperature and the fumes are destructive to animal life. There is no particular danger to a human being. For a colony of ant hills, make holes one foot apart, four square, about the ant colony, say about an Inch in diameter. Saturate a rag or piece of cotton with the bisulphide and drop it in the bottom of the hole, covering it with earth. The fumes will speedily penetrate the surrounding territory and the ant will give no further lesson in industry. Open a mole run and drop in rags or cotton "saturated with the bisulphide and cover. It is best to open the run where It descends, which is easily observed as the runs dip and reappear. The gas will roll down the run of the mole and he is no more. If you have a favorite houseplant that has become infested with mealy bugs, bisulphide is one of the few good insecticides. Soak a small wisp of cotton or rag with the bisulphide and place a tight receptacle over the plant and bisulphide and leave it for an hour. It doesn't need much of the chemical. Sixty drops will be enough. Carban bisulphide is very inflammable.

According to figures just released

by E. E. Reynolds, treasurer of the Indiana Federation of Farmers associations, 86 county associations in the state have affiliated with the state organization leaving only six counties either unorganized or not a member of the parent body. This table shows that five of the 10 districts of the Federation are 100 per cent organized, that four of the districts lack but one county and that one district has but two outstanding counties. The First district, located in the northwest part of the state, with a membership of eight counties, is fully organized. The district director is J. A. Warren, of Kouts. The Second district, comprised of eight counties in northeastern Indiana, lacks Elkhart county to be 100 per cent organized. R. 1j. Thompson, of Topeka, is the new director for that district. In the Third district Jasper County is the only association not affiliated with the state organization, but it has been reported that it will probably become a member at an early date E. E. Reynolds is the district director.

The Fourth district with 10 counties is completely organized. The district director is H. T. Walker, of Mont pelier. The Fifth district is composed of nine counties, all of which are organized and affiliated with the state Federation, the district director being Oscar Larm, of Oxford. The Sixth district, with eight counties, is fully organized. Owen county in the Seventh district, is the only county of the ten not organized. J. W. Raub, of Ellettsville,

is the district director. The Eighth district is made up of nine counties, the one unorganized being Brown county where the farmers have requested that a drive be put on to form an association this month. L,. M. Vogler, of Hope, is the district director. ' Of the 10 counties in the Ninth district Dubois and Perry are the only ones not organized. J. J. Brown, of Rockport, is the district director. The Tenth district, made up of 12 southern Indiana counties, is 100 per cent organized. J. G. Klein, North Vernon, is the director. Officers of the Federation expect to work on the unorganized counties during the summer months, and are confident that the state will be 100 per cent organized before the second annual convention in November.

Farmers Near Fountain City May Bay Elevator Anyway, Opinion of Representatives The farmers of New Garden and

Franklin townships, who recently made a vigorous campaign to raise a fund for an elevator at Fountain City, "were greatly surprised" when they learned that the Farmers' National Grain company had purchased the elevator at that poinL "We were Just getting ready to take the property over," said Clifford Keene, "when we were apprised of the sale." Many of the contributors to the fund are said to be in favor of building an eJevator, and such other buildings as may be needed for co-operative buying

and selling. Others are hesitating as yet, as to the best stand to take. There will be a called meeting of all who contributed to the fund at an early day

when all sides of the question will bei discussed. Mr. Keene says that the

farmers have made a deal for binder twine, the price being $15.20 per hundred pounds, delivered at Fountain City.

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

Home Tours Are Planned In Wake of Purdue Special Many of the counties which were visited by the Indiana home special train during its tour of the state in March and April are following up the work started by the train. The train stopped at Cambridge City and Milton in Wayne. Home tours taken up as county or township products, under the direction of the county agents, farmers' associations, home economics associations or classes and the extension department of Purdue university. The purpose of the Indiana home special was to stimulate more interest in the better equipping of Indiana homes. The purpose of the home tour is for all to see the operation of this equipment In local communities, showing that it is not only possible, but has been worked out and is successful in many homes throughout the state. To date the following counties are arranging for home tours: Monroe, Huntington, Porter, Lagrange, Hamilton, Dearborn and Marshall. These tours will be conducted at various times during June, July, August, September and early October.

Everett Daugherty, living near Middleboro, says that not over a half crop

of wheat is indicated now, though there have been some, quite a little improvement. Mr. Daugherty said he had put in 45 acres of corn thlB year and would begin cultivation on Monday. Said his neighbors were about in the same shape, that the latest to plant had finally cleaned up. As to hogs, he said that losses of early spring pigs was heavy, and that very few hogs were on feed, compared to one year ago, when there was some inducement to crowd hogs along. Wheat Heading Out. Wheat is heading out; all the corn is now in and clover is making good growth in both New Garden and Franklin-townships. What was most reeded on Saturday, as farmers said, was a good rain. This would benefit everything now growing, although there had been no deterioration so far for lack of moisture. Lowest Hog Price of Year. The hog markets have acted wabbly

of late and on Friday hogs touched the lowest price of the year at Chicago; bulk of sales going at from $13.30 to (14.40, with a top of $14.60 for a few choice light butchers. Cattle, which had been steadily climbing for several days, weakened 25 cents, the top on the. day being $14.90 for choice 1,562 pound average weights. Including

j hogs left over from Thursday there

were 50,000 nogs on tne mnaay marKet, at Chicago. Indianapolis had a top of $14.50 on hogs on Friday. There was

! little change in any market on Satur

day, the hog top at Indianapolis being same as on Friday; while at Chicago there was a further decline of 10 cents on receipts of 11,000.

INCE the discoverr of

petroleum, the per cap

ita production of wheat

in the United States has more than doubled, and this in the face of a constantly decreasing percentage in our farm population. The products of petroleum have been largely responsible for the increase. In 1850, 90 percent of our people lived on farms; in 1919 only 33 percent of the population was

listed as rural. In 1850 the per capita production of wheat was 4.4 bushels, while in 1919 it was almost 9 bushels. On the farms of the Middle West the bread-basket of the nation the gas engine is best known. And here this engine is plowing, seeding, and harvesting by the square mile instead of by the acre, and it is doing the work better, quicker, and cheaper than it could be done by horse-power. These engines must have gasoline, and they must have oil, both products of petroleum. That is why the U. S. Government declares that "petroleum is a basic necessity, as much so as wool or wheat". The manufacture and distribution of gasoline, lubricating oils, and other petroleum products, have been developed to a high degree of efficiency by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This organization, trained by years of experience to anticipate unheralded conditions, has been able to foresee and prepare to meet problems, which, unsolved, might have proved disastrous. Even transportation and other troubles in allied industries have failed to make an appreciable interruption in the steady flow of products from the refineries of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to the consumers of the Middle West Standard Oil Company ( Indiana) 910 S.
