Bulla, of Boston township, "we have had plenty of rain within the week. The rain came when most needed and the fields and pastures are all looking fine. Haven't a great deal of wbeat, had so much to plow up on account of the fly, but have a whole lot of oats and 55 acres of corn that look promising. Ther& are some worms at work in my corn., and some of my neighbors alto complain of pests in their corn, but I think no serious damage has been don as yet." Mr. Bulla has 145 hogs, only a part of which, are on fe-ed. Planted Corn for Third Time. William Parker, of Hollansburg, said on Friday night that he had Panxea some or nis corn lor me umu lime. sa3 13 m cut? uiy ut-iu, nidi, much of his corn has-, had practically no water since planting, and that, iu view of this fact, it is doing fairly well, a lot of It standing 10 inches high. Mr. Parker put iu 115 acres of wheat last fall, but says that the fly hurt it so badly that he isn't counting on much of a harvest. There are 300 hogs on the Parker farm, all running on grass with a limited amount of feed, for none are being fattened.

Frank Winters, Frank Boyle, Lee Huntington and Irving Lafuze. Time Nears to Plant Yellow Rutabagas E. E. RICE. Garden Supervisor. Yellow turnips or rutabagas need a longer season than the white varities. They should be sown early and thinned to 10 inches apart in rows two feet apart. This will give an early fall crop for table use, and for winter storage another planting Fhou,d be madp in JunPManv people prefer the yellow tur nips to the white because of the tendency of the latter to grow pithy and spongy when mature. Their chief value is to be eaten young, and as a follow crop to peas and beans. Twelfth of July, wet or dry, is the ancient dictum for the planting of turnips. This is generally after the peas have ceased to bear and have been pulled up. Turnips are a good loliow crop for early peas. For early summer use, white turnips should be sown with the early vegetables, but us they are not as popular during the hot months as in the early tall season, the space may be used for other vegetables unless the garden is of ample proportions. 17,000 LBS.

Murphy, county agent. Satur day said that several reports have come to him, mostly indirectly, however, of sickness of hogs on farms where Kansas City feed and condition mixture, blamed for the death of eight hogs, has been fed. He also reports the loss of hogs in some caaes, but has thus far been unable to visit the fanners to make personal inspection. One farmer who had lost several head brought in a sample of the preparation, taken from the feeding trough a day or so ago, and this sample will be mailed to Purdue. At a meeting of the farm federation at Fountain City Friday evening two men said that there had been sickness in their herds, and one stated that he had three of his 100-pound boats sicken and die quite suddenly, while others which were sick had been separated from the rest of the herd and had slowly recovered. Large Sales at Fountain City Per contra, one farmer said ue had fed this preparation to loo or more hogs last winter, had no complaint to make whatever, and that the hogs had all been marketed. In the meantime a general alarm seems to have been sent ou. The feed has been taken from the lots in all such cases. Fountain City seems to have been the la rest receiving point. Station Agnt Odell states that the farmers have received a preat many barrels. Pending an analysis and a determination of what this mixture contains, farmers are advised to quit feedinp; it. No Change in Wayne Threshing Rates-Dynes There are more than rtO threshing rigs in Wayne county, according to William H. Dynes of Centerville, who is president of the Tlireshermen'3 association. At a meeting of threshernien held at the Commercial club rooms it was decided to make no changes in the 1 rates ruling last year, that is, a charge 1 of six cents per bushel for oats and 10 cents for wheat. SHELBYV1LLE, Ind , June 19 Efforts of the Noble Township Farmers' associntior. to prevent an ir.erease being made in the tl:re!5ag rri.e- for this year failed at a meeting of the Shelby Co'inty Threhrnicn's association. The new rale established increased the price of threshing wheat 1 cent a bushel and rye 2 cents a bushel. The new rate established will be 5 cents for oats, 10 cents for wheat and 12 cents for rye.

A warning of their coming was sounded at the time. The eegs have hatched and the young are attacking the haves from both the upper and under surfaces, Mr. Wallace says. An efficient spray to control this pest consists of one ounce of arsenate of lead mixed with two gallons or" water. It is advisable to add a little soap, for the suds will cause the poison to adhere to the leaves. For the best results the spray should be kept agitated. If prospects are good for an excellent grape yield, spraying at intervals of every two weeks is urged. FORMS LIBERAL CABINET CHRISTIAN I A, Norway. June 19. O. B.

DEADLY CHINCH BUG IS FOUNDJN WHEAT A warning was received Saturday by Wayne county farmers from the division of entomology, state department of conservation, to watch their wheat fields for chinch bugs, and if the insects are discovered to take immediate steps to prevent them from migrating to the com fields. Harry F. Dietz. entomologist, has found several wheat fields on the 4.000acre farm of the Ogle Land company, two miles southwest of Linton, Ind., literally alive with the pests. They had migrated in two instances, and were on the corn planted where wheat was winter killed. According to Mr. Dietz the damage to the wheat has been accomplished, and as a result of the infestation the yield will be somewhat reduced. The chief problem cf the farmer now is to prevent the bugs from getting into the corn fields, where if not disturbed, they suck the juices from the tender, growing stalks, causing them to wither and die as though scorched. Because the soil of the infested fields is such that It absorbs the road oil frequently- used as a combative treatment and does not make a fine dust the common oil or dust barrier method of eradication will rnt ho am.

ployed in fighting the bugs. Instead. straw wen soaked with road oil will be used to build a barrier six inches wide and four inches hieh around a fected fields.

WARN FRUIT GROWERS OF RAVAGES OF TREE BEETLE A warning against the fruit tree hark beetle is sounded for Wayne county fruit, growers: " Fruit trees infested badly with the fruit tree bark beetle hav the appearance of having been struck with a charge of bird shot. On plum, cherry and peach trees that have some vitality left the hole? will be filled with an exudation of gum this is not the oas with pear and apple. If the small openings are examined a small black beetle may be s-en crawling in and out through the opening. This is the adult of the in.-ect producing the injury. The larvae are very small, curved and whitish in color. It is an almost universal rule that trees weakened from some other cause are th cnes attacked by this pest. Trees affected should have all dead and diseased wood cut out and burned at once, as it is the diseased parts of the tree through which the insect is most likely to gain entrance. Good cultivating and fertilizing to produce strong healthy fees i.- the best preventative measure. Good results have been obtained by whitewashing the trunks of the tree.; affected. A FEW FAVORITE BREEDING PLACES FOR STABLE FLIES Certain agricultural practices favour greatly the development of the stable fly, according to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. The fly breeds most commonly in straw and horse manure or in a mixture of the two. The custom of allowing the manure from the horse stable to accumulate just outside the stable doors insures the presence of flies. Allowing barnyards, especially around dairies, to become knee-deep In manure i also favorable. In the grain belt it is the practice of farmers to thrash the grain in the lields by means of self-stacking thrashir.z machines. When thrashing is followed by lieavy summer and fall rain this loosely piled straw is certain to form a breeding place. The insect occasionally may breed in broker.--.ip masses of hay or dead grass, especially when these are permeated v.ith liquid from manure, and corn husks in feeding pens have been found to harbor the maggots. Manure piles commonly found near horse stables are particularly attractive. The First Methodist church at Springfield. Mass., is to have a moving picture outfit.
