The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN Henry Bertram of Center township, when In town on Friday, stated that he had 48 acres of wheat about ready to cut, but that "it was nothing extra." Said, however, that his corn was looking fine. W. D. Wilson, recent owner of the Fountain City elevator. Is now located at Bradford, Ohio, and Is still in the elevator business, having purchased one at that point. Mr. Wilson has four cars of coal "a-rolling," and more ordered through the Richmond broker, who says he is supplying a number of Indiana and Ohio elevators with coal for various threshing rings. Threshing outfits were anxious about a supply of coal and a lot of it was eold by "an outsider" at the mass meeting of farmers at the high school on Wednesday evening. The demand Is imperative and orders were placed for coal to be rushed to various points, in two or three counties. Is Feeding 200 Hogs "I should have been in the harvest field today, but for the rain this morning," said George Miller, living 2 miles north of Abington, on Friday. Mr. Miller says that be has 75 acres of "good wheat, nothing the matter with it at all," and that there are some pretty good fields in his township, In spite of all the pests. He considers his wheat an extra good stand whihe has filled well He says this Is also true of a lot of thin wheat ''beads are filled to the tip." Mr. Miller says he sold 42 head of feeder cattle at Indianapolis, on Wednesday, that they averaged a little better than 500 pounds and sold for $7.60 per hundred. He now has around 200 head of hogs on feed, running close to 200 pounds, also a bunch of cattle feeding for fall shipment. No, he hasn't had to buy corn; he grows it, having more than 400 acres of land to cultivate. Harvest Just Starting. Manager Stone, of the Milton Grain company, says that "the wheat harvest If. just starting," that the heads are well filled, and that there will be some very good wheat to come in shortly. But in spite of this fact "the grain is fast falling in a number of fields, owing to effects of fly or joint worm, and should be cut at once." "Oats are heading on short straw but are looking like a crop." The Milton Grain company men own elevators at Milton, Beeson'a Station, and at Bentonville, In Fayette county. They report corn doing well. Report From Union County. "While wheat has made some Improvement,". said Oliver Lafuze, of Union county, on Friday night, "we are expecting to cut only about the half of a normal crop, and for this reason, so much of the acreage was abandoned. Corn Is Coming Fast. Mr. Lafuze is a bit enthusiastic as to corn. He says they have a good stand of corn, and that this goes for Union county. Says it is of good color, was well cared for over the dry period, is now coming along fast, and "present Indications are for a good crop." Asparagus E. E. RICE, Garden Supervisor. Are you growing a bed of aspara' gus? It should be grown in every home yard garden that is larger than 25x25 feet. Asparagus Is more than a vegetable. It is one of the best meat substitutes, and alco has excellent medicinal values. Asparagus is easily grown and cared for; it Is one of the earliest vegetables to be harvested. Also It will last throughout the season. A small patch two feet wide and 10 reei long wm supply the average family.. Once planted and properly cared for, the asparagus bed will continue to yield almost indefinitely. Get hardy varieties, such as Argentenil, Palmetto or' Mammoth White Any good loamy soil will grow asparagus. It must not be too weedy 6o make your bed in a part of the garden that has been longest under cultivation. ' How to Plant Asparagus. Deep, warm, rich, loamy soil, spaded deeply and thoroughly, is best for a permanent bed. Use well rotted manure and fertilize freely. In planting the asparagus roots pre. pare the ground so as to plant in furrows. Make these furrows two or four feet apart and from eight to 10 inches deep. Set the two-year-old roots 18 to 24 Inches apart in the botom of the furrow and cover lightly at first; then gradually fill in with 60il and compost Every spring the bed should be forked over and spaded carefully then pulverize the surface. Continue to give clean cultivation to the entire bed until fall, then cover with manure or compost. During the second year hill up the rows, especially for blanching the stalks, and cut sparingly. After that you can cut freely. Roots Travel Horizontally. Some gardeners dig trenches four feet deep and enrich the ground with large quantities of manure and fertilizer. But the roots of asparagus seldom go down deeper than two feet, and in that case would hardly get any benefit from fertilizer placed at a depth of four feet. The roots of asparagus travel horizontally and seldom downward, so the fertilizer will be needed within one foot of the surface. The roots should be planted early in the spring. In the fall bo sure to cut off all the stalks before they go to seed If seed are allowed to develop they will fall to the ground and bed, and become very troublesome, start new plants everywhere in the A sprinkling of salt spread broadcast over the asparagus bed once every spring is helpful. It keeps down the weeds, retains the moisture and stimulates growth. Cut the asparagus off with a sharp knife and leave the roots standing in water until used.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

COUNTIES GO BACK TO UNDERBRUSH, IS REPORT OF CENSUS PETERSBURG, Ind., July 3. An analysis of the census of 1920 in Pike county throws some light on the problem of the high cost of living. In 1900 Lockhart township, Bltuated In southern Pike county, was an agricultural township, with a population of 2,144, and was one of the biggest wheat-producing townships in the county. Large crops of tobacco and much sugar cane and corn also were raised. Since 1910, however, there has been a steady decline in population until the census of 1920 gives the township only 1,567 and the tillable acreage of the township has decreased proportionately. Mining companies have bought large tracts of land in the township, and much of the land in these tracts has been allowed to grow up in underbrush, and can not be cultivated now until it is cleared a second time. 1,257 In 1900; 832 In 1920. Clay . township, In the western part of Pike county, had a population of 1,257 in 1900, but in 1920 this number had been reduced to S32. In 1900, Clay township produced double the wheat that it will produce in 1920. Jefferson, another wheat-producing township, has decreased in population from 2,792 in 1900 to 2.06S in 1920, the wheat acreage has decreased in proportion to the loss in population. Yields of from 6,000 to 9,000 bushels of wheat were not uncommon occurrences for some of the larger farmers in 1900, but the biggest farm in Pike county will not yield 5,000 bushels of wheat in 1920. The two townshipsMn Pike county that show increases are Washington and Patoke, in which are situated the towns of Petersburg and Winslow. Both of these towns are In the mining districts of the county, and the increased population is largely made up of miners who have moved into the county with the opening of the big coal mines In the last 20 years. Loss In Rural Districts 3,000. A loss Is shown in the rural township of Pike county since 1900 of more than 3,000, and much of the land that was cultivated in 1900 is lying idle this year. In the 20 years, however. Pike has become one of the greatest grazing counties in the state, and more live stock is shipped from Petersburg than from any other place in the state. In some parts of the county new orchards have taken up considerable acreage that was once given over to grain. In Madison township the wealthiest township In the county, there has been a decrease in population of only 70 but the population includes a large floating element, as the township contains the big oil fields of Pike county.

CORN PRICE LOWER; STOCKS DULL, WEAK, IN TRADING RESUME CHICAGO, July S Enlarged receipts together with ideal conditions to benefit growing corn have done a good deal to make prices of corn this week average lower. Compared with a week ago, quotations this morning varied from 714c decline to-an advance of 2 Vic. Oats showed a setback of 2e to 5c. In provisions, there were losses ranging from $1.52 to $4.77. Wide-spread timely rains which dispelled fear of hot-wave damage were of special effect in forcing the corn market to turn against the bulls. Prior to the rains, the fact that receipts had become much more liberal than of late was apparently Insufficient to check the continued advance of prices.
