AVERAGE IS $150 The Caleb G. Starbuck and Frank A. "Williams Bale of registered Shorthorns was held under a tent In a shady grove tn the Caleb O. Starbuck farm, seven miles southwest of Winchester, on Friday. The attendance of Shorthorn fanciers -was quite large, these being mostly farmers Intent on picking up eomething which would improve their herds. No outside prices were realized, but taken straight through, for young and aged stock, the sellers are not complaining at the total of the sale. The herd put up was of the dual purpose type, bred for both beef and milk, and there were some good milkers in the offering, as Mr. Starbuck stated. One of these was bid up to $305 by Coigner and Son, who live north of Winchester, and this was the top of the sale. A handsome young male brought $240, also the top In his class. Sale Totals $6,000. The day's receipts "were a little better than $6,000, or an average of $150 for young and old," as Mr. Starbuck paid. The auctioneers were O. E. Ross of Winchester, and Earl Gaston, of Greensburg, Indiana. Local farmers were the largest buyers and there was spirited competition for the choicest animals. A good summer day lunch, with plenty of ice cream, was served by the I-adies Aid of the Huntsville church.

Short Receipts Bring Heavy

Advances in Stock Markets

4 Compared with the low spots on cat- " tie late in May, the best grades of ' beef steers have advanced from $3.25 to $4.25 in the western markets, some of the heavier cattle even scoring $4.50 per hundred advance at Chicago this week. The leading markets have received about two-thirds the usual number of cattle in the past two weeks, being about 100,000 head short on receipts of 215,000 head. Heavy long fed cattle ahve sold above $17, against a top of obout $13, the latter part of May. Hogs have steadily but slowly advanced during the past few days, and are up from 40 to 60 cents compared with a week ago. The hog receipts have not been greatly below those of a week ago, only 24.000 in tho ten markets, but are 57,000 below the same time last year. The advance in cattle has put some pep in the hog market and shippers are expecting still further advances.

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. 8ANB0RN

"It has been so long since we had a good rain at Winchester that I have forgotten it. The country is very dry and we are all anxiously watching the sky," Bald J. E. Hinshaw, of the People's Loan and Trust, on Friday afternoon. "Wheat, however, is still in good shape, regardless, except that there is some little complaint of smut. None of our customers have complained of the fly doing any damage since last fall, nor are any bugs or worms reported, thus far. As to corn, it is still In pretty good bhape but there is less of it than usual. Bay about two-thirds of our average acreage. As to oats, these have not grown so fast but there is still ample time to make a good crop, if we now have rain as needed. They are not showing any particular lack of mois

ture just yet, but a good rain would do oats a world Of, good." Dry at West Manchester. The cashier of the" bank at West Manchester, says they are still in the dry belt and that, aside from a sprinkle a few nights ago, they have had no rain worth while in about four weeks. He says that the early planted corn Is doing well bu the late planted fields are not making a good showing. Farmers Bay that wheat is now needin grain. Weather has also been too dry to suit tobacco. Rained Two Weeks Ago. "We had a fair downpour two weeks ago in this vicinity," said Cashier King of the bank at New Madison. So far there is no serious complaint of drouth, except that tobacco growers are a mite discouraged: First, because their season was late nd since they have been able to transplant they haven't had a shower to start growl h. Guess there has ben no serious damagfyet, however, but a lot of transplanting has been done since the last shower and a rain is what they all need now. Our farmers put in the usual acreage and it seems to be doing fairly well. This has been rather a bad season on oats around here and a good rain would help oats a lot."

WAYNE OATS CROP SHOWING UP WELL

Wayne county's oats crop stands well up on that of the counties near it, both in percentage and condition, according to the monthly crop report of the United States bureau of agriculture, giving the condition on June 1. The county planted 110 per cent of its normal acreage and condition was 80 per cent of a normal, according to the tables. Wheat and rye conditions were respectively, 40 and 90 per cent. Tables showing the standing of nearby counties follow, the figure in each case being the percentage of normal except in the first column, which is the percentage of oats acreage sown:

CATERPILLARS ARE NOW

THREATENING SHADE TREES

Tussock moth caterpillars have

hatched on shade trees and are now

eating the leaves, according to Frank N. Wallace, entomologist under the Indiana state conservation department. The caterpillar is about a quarter of an inch long and is not easily noticed. It grows rapidly, and unless prevented will in the next ten days defoliage many trees. A suitable spray for eradication and control of thia pest is composed of two pounds of arsenate of lead to 50 gallons of water. After the poison has been sprayed on the trees it is advisable to band the affected trees with tanglefoot in ordor to prevent other caterpillars from "" 'ing back and reinfecting the trees.

Cutworms After Tomatoes

E. E. RICE, GARDEN SUPERVISOR If your tomato plants are cut off

near the ground during the night, you

can blame the cutworms. Paper col

lars may be placed around a Email

number of plants, or poisoned bran

used for large gardens. Boards placed about the garden will attract the cut

worms, which may be found hiding

under them during the daytime. Plant

a goodly supply of musk and water

melons today. A bushel of well rotted manure in each hill will insure a good growth of plant. Squash may still be planted with success. Use the small Hubbard if the seed can be obtained. Keep garden crops free from weeds and well tilled these days. It's lots easier to kill the weeds when they are small.

Late celery and cabbage may be

set now. Plant plenty of each. Good

home gardens are going to be val

uable.

WHEAT OUTLOOK IMPROVES SEYMOUR. Ind.. June 12. A mart

ed improvement in the appearance of

wheat in Jackson county as the harvest season approaches is reported by farmers. The cool spring weather was favorable to the growing fields and the crop will be larger than anticipated a few months ago. The Hessian fly has appeared in a few fields, but the damage is not serious. The wheat is heading well and there is every indication that the grain will be large and well formed.

POTATO LEAF HOPPER IS KILLED BY BLACK LEAF Potato growers should be on the lookout for small green flylike leaf hoppers which cause great damage to the potato crop. These hoppers.

like the plant lice, secure their food by sucking the Juice from the potato leaves and stems. As a result of their attack the leaves dry up, turn brown and take on a dead appearance, says Dr. C. T. Gregory, of the extension department of Purdue university. Most damage is done during the hot dry weather. Often in walking through

the field the adult hoppers will arise ) and fly ahead in swarms. There are 1

three generations a year, the first ones appearing about the time the first potato plants are three or four inches high. Usually they become most destructive during July and August. It is not possible to destroy the adults or winged hoppers, hence the necessity of getting them before they reach this stage. This may be done by spraying with nicotine sulphate, commonly known as Black Leaf 40, using one-half pint to 50 gallons of Bordeaux mixture, or one teaspoonful for each gallon. The Bordeaux acts as a repellant.

SPRAY PEACHES TO PREVENT WORMINES, WHILE IN "SHUCK" Wormypeaches are caused by the larva of the plum curculio. Early peach varieties 6uch as Carman, Mayflower and Greensboro are more often "stung" than the late varieties. The most important spray for this insect is applied while the peach is in the "shuck." Here is the formula suggested by C. L. Burkholder of the

horticultural extension staff of Purdue university. ' Use one and one-half pounds of powdered arsenate of lead and two pounds of hydrated lime to 50 gallons of water. The lime prevents the arsenate from burning the peach foliage. Bulletin 60, Purdue experiment station, gives the spray program complete and other valuable information on the subject of peach growing. It is free on request.
