in order to control the Hessian fly the farmers must not plant wheat until after the fly free date, which can be determined each year in time for planting. The last fall report shows that 89 6 per cent of the wheat seeded Sept 22 contained fly; 70.2 per cent of the wheat seeded Sept. 26 was infested: wheat sown Sept. 30 was 34.9 per cent Infested; while the wheat sown Oct. 9 and 15 was not infested.

Because of the shortage of labor in the canneries and the higher prices necessary to pay for the raw products, it is highly important that every housewife arrange now to can as much fruit and vegetables during the summer as possible, according to Miss Leila Gaddis, head of the home economics extension work at Purdue university. Even at this date there are a few foods which may be canned for winter use, such as asparagus, rhubard, spinach, mustard, beet tops, Swiss chard, etc. The cold pack method of canning means fewer spoiled cans, food with a better flavor and appearance, lees time and labor because of only ono handling and the tedious part of the work at the beginning rather than at the end, according to Miss Gaddis. To avoid failures in canning, two things are essential that the can and contents must be sterilized, nr1 the,

Can milfit h hprmptlpn 1 V acalo tr I

prevent entrance of germs after sterilization. Failures in canning may be reduced to a minimum by using the cold-pack process. In brief, it consists of preparing the material, packing it in cans, covering it with sirup or brine and sterilizing the can and contents at the same time by cooking in hot water or steam. If this method is followed, care taken to use new rubbers, test the cans before filling, regulate the time for sterilizing correctly, no spoiling will be found. Some fruits and vegetables shrink, leaving space in the can. This need cause no alarm, as the air in the can is sterilized and will do no damage. To can greens (spinach, dandelions, mustard, beet tops, Swiss chard, etc.) blanch by steaming fifteen to twenty

minutes. Plunge in cold water, cut

and pack. Add one teaspoon salt to the quart, and place rubber, put top on loosely. Sterilize one and one-half hours in boiling water. Remove Jars, tighten covers and invert, to cool. Rhubarb does not need to be blanched or cold dipped, but may be washed cut Into pieces, packed in the cans, covered with boiling water. Place rubber, put top on loosely and sterilize twenty minutes in boiling water. Remove Jars, tighten covers and invert to cool. More complete directions for coldpack canning will he found in Extension Bulletin No. 55. "Home Canning by the Cold Pack Process," which may be obtained free from Purdue university.

CORN IS IN GOOD CONDITION; IS .ALL IN GROUND-BRYANT

As a whole, the corn crop in Indiana is in good condition, says George C. Bryant, field agent for the co-operative crop reporting service. In his summary of last week's Hoosier crop conditions. Labor conditions again have become acute, business men volunteering to relieve the situation; berry crops were saved by recent rains, and army worms have done some damage, according to the report, which reads: "Heavy rain in some sections of the state, the first part of the week stopped farm work to some extent. The rain was badly needed, however, and did thousands of dollars worth of good. "Corn is all planted and some fields have been cultivated the third time. As a whole, the crop is in splendid condition and the stand is very good. It was very much benefitted by rains during the week. "Winter wheat will be cut in some of the extreme southern counties during the coming week, with fair

yields looked for. Hessian fly has done much damage. "Spring wheat is looking good, but the acreage is very short. Rains during the week materially helped it, "Oats are heading out and show some improvement over last report. Weather conditions are now almost ideal. "Barley conditions same as oats. "Insects are working overtime on potatoes. The crop is making rapid progress, however. "Clover and alfalfa Cutting ls in full swing in southern counties. Yields ere fairly good but weather conditions are not favorable to a successful hay harvest. Army worms did considerable damage in a few of the southern counties. "Tobacco setting continues very

satisfactorily. With favorable weather conditions the acreage la the burley district will be largely increased. "All fruit crops were in good condition. Bumper yields of apples and peaches are looked for. The berry crops were saved by good rains the first of the week and will be plentiful. "All truck crops were greatly helped by the rains early in the week, and the outlook at the time ia very bright "All live stock is In good condition. Many farmers, however, are selling their breeding stock. "The labor situation has become very acute again and business men of the smaller places are volunteering for harvest work.

early in the 6eason. Mr. Downard says that they got their "first real rain in weeks, last Sunday, though the few showers and eprinkles in the interim helped." Reports from Liberty and south tell of a soaking rain on Sunday, and in many districts it was reported badly needed. Economy Finally Soaked. They have finally had a soaking rain fit Economy; W. M. Benedict, manager of the elevator there, says bo. Moreover, ho eays that the rain on last Sunday was the first worthwhile rain in "exactly five weeks." "It came in the nick of time for oats, which have been Buffering for water." Mr. Benedict says that late planted com has been hurt by pests, and has grown but little, having had no rain since put in, up to Sunday. Also that the fly has done some damage during the dry spell, and that much wheat is down on this account. He thinks that they are likely to harvest less than the half of a normal crop on the acreage 6own. Glen Karn and Hollansburg. The Chenoweth store at Glen Karn reports a generous rain on Sunday, one which seemingly covered quite a wide radius. "Farmers have been feeling rather blue," said a department manager, "for it has been mighty dry for three to four weeks. It ia different today and everybody ls feeling better." "The stock ponds and water holes in streams are pretty well fllled up once more," is the report from Hollansburg. "The rain on Sunday was a great relief and benefit to farmers. Also did a lot of good to gardens and lawns and will help berries, grapes, etc."

CATALPA SPHINX BEGINS ATTACKS ON LEAVES OF TREES The catalpa sphinx, a smooth, yellow caterpillar with black stripes mntng along Its body and a hornlike projection on its posterior end, is feeding on the leaves of the catalpa tree?, according to reports from various parts of Indiana to the division of entomology, state conservation department, "This is an exceedingly voracious insect and while the caterpillar at this reason is rather small, it. grows rapidly and often reaches a length of two nnd one-half inches", the department .mnounces. "It will completely defoliate a tree in a very short time. It can be eradicated if the affected trees tre sprayed with arsenate of lead. Use the lead mixed in proportions of two pounds to BO gallons of water."

MULES ARE IN UNUSUAL DEMAND; FARMERS LIKE 'EM There is an unusual demand on the market for mules, stockmen say. Compack, blocky mules of good proportions, with good life and quality, are selling quickly and profitably, no matter what their size. The top prices go for mules standing 15.3 hands and weighing 1.200 pounds. Farmer producers are selling ordinary mule colts at weaning time at prices ranging from $65 to $125. At 3 years a mule weighing 1.250 pounds brings from $200 to $300 and at 5 vears a big sugar mule commands $500.
