The Farm and the Fanner BY WIU.IAW R. SANBORN

New Threshing Ring Is Formed at New Madison A threshing ring of 18 members near New Madison bought Ernest Troutwine's threshing rig on Thursday, then organized as follows: Andrew Emerick, president; Russell Bussard, secretary; Chalmer Harter, treasurer. The balance of the "ring" are: I'. M. Ely, Frank Michael, George Harter, Orley Harter, F. T. Harter, Ed. Rinks, Lon Ely, John Falkner, Walter Howell. John Henry, Paul Jones, Fred High. Ti. O. TrlsselU Craig Ferguson and Cecil Bunger.

These men represent a large wheat acreage and Some are claiming fair crops, running to 25 bushels or better.

The College Comer Milling company reports that nearlx hall the whet In that section was in shock Wednesday night, for despite Tuesday's ralnfali nearly all binders were running Wednesday afternoon, Thursday morning dawned clear and men worked - like

baa vers. Indications were for an Ideal h arrest day, but a local shower developed Into bail in places and all cutting operations were suspended where the storm struck. Among the College Corner farmers who have finished harvesting are C W. Douglas, 47 acres, thin, estimated at about v one-half crop; Orville Abraham, 40 acres, a 70 per cent crop, and Riley Klngbry, 65 acres of "fair" wheat. Too Much Rain ts Plenty. A. L. Baldwin, of Webster, got Into his wheat on Thursday, and so did all his neighbors who could. Mr. Baldwin says that it Is time that all the wheat In his vicinity was cut; that rains sadly interfered with harvesting, will keep the binders Idle until Friday afternoon. "The hay harvest ha9 also been delayed. Wheat will soon shatter if not cut." Threshing Will Be Late. Thompson and Powell, of the H&-

gerstown elevator, said: "Last year we took in our first load of new wheat on July 9, and paid Alex Kirby $2.12 for it. Looks now as If the first delivery is still two weeks away. Wheat is not yet overhipe but every acre

needs cutting. The situation is rather discouraging. Too much rain. Very little chance for the fields to dry out. A lot of grain was cut Thursday, and some little on Wednesday, in spite of light showers on both days. Ground la soft and in low spots it is hard to run binders. Not half our wheat was cut up to Thursday night. Corn is doing well and the oat harvest is from two to three weeks away, depending on weather." Working Like Mad at F. C. Manager of the Fountain City elevator said on Thursday that the "farmers are working like mad in the wheat today." Says, too, that they had quite a rain -early on Wednesday and a sprinkle, "just a bucketful", on Thursday noon. Many farmers could not start cutting early Thursday. Thinks he will be lucky to get first wheat in

by July 18. Too Wet at Glen Karn. "While some of our wheat is in rhock it has been and still is too wet for the binders in most fields," said

Ben Richards, of Glen Karn, on Thursday night "Our wheat Is all pretty ripe and needs to be cut right now. We have had rain on last three days, Tues

day's downpour in particular being i hard on both, craia and hay harvesters. ! At best threshing will be several days late this year." Crops Progress Through A Week of Weather A snmmary of "weather and crop conditions fn Indiana for the week, by T. H. Armfngtoil, of the Indianapolis weather bureau. Is as follows: ' Thunder showers were of freouent

occurrence and ample rains reached practically every part of the state some time during the week. The temperatures were mostly moderate for the season. These conditions were favorable for all crops, and farm operations were carried on satisfactorily. Hail did considerable damage over a small stretch of country in Adams county, and high winds blew down crops in some limited areas in other parts of the state. The week was most favorable for the ripening of win. ter wheat but the crop varies materially in condition, the southern and central parts of the state having a much better stand than the northern. Wheat cutting is completed in the extreme southern fields and Is partly under way in the central parts of the state, but It will be a week or mora

before cutting Is general in the north

ern section. Thrashing will begin this

week In the south. Corn grew rapldiy during the week and is in good to excellent condition. Oats are generally a good crop, although they are heading short in some areas. They probably will be ready for harvesting within a week or two. Hay crops, pastures, potatoes and truck were mostly affected favorably by the Peek's weather, but the conditions vary, being only fair in some areas, although good over most of the state.

Can Your Greens

E. E. RICE, GARDEN SUPERVISOR. Swiss chard and beets should be ready for greens, and there is bound to be a surplus if any quantity of them have been planted. The way to dispose of the Burplua is to can it and have it ready for winter consumption. They' a,re canned" Ty the cold pack method with, which housewives all over the country have become familiar, owing to the government directions during the war. These greens keep well and although they have not the food value of the fresh cooked greens, they are a welcome addition to the table at a time when green vegetables are worth their weight in gold. One fine thing about canned greens Is that they are already to put on the table with a minimum of effort, it being necessary only to heat them, season and butter them and they can be served In 10 minutes or even more quickly if there is any necessity for it. It takes a lot of greens to make a full can, and they should be packed in tight enough to fill the can, as they shrink mightily when cooked. It is best to take out the largest

midribs of the chard in opening it, al

though some housewives can the stalks alone.

DAMAGE BY "FLY BLIGHT." COLUMBUS, 0., July 9 Ohio's IS20 wheat crop will be from 20 to 25 per cent lower In yield this year than last year, due to the "fly blight," according to information reaching the state board of agriculture.

Jurisdiction of Pennsy Officials Here Is Limited J. E. Foley, division operator of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania

railroad, says that in reality the Rich

mond division does not extend all the way to Cincinnati or Logansport.

Richmond division officials lose Juris

diction over the lines at Rendcomb

Junction, six miles this side of Cincinnati, and at. Anoka Junction, five miles

this side of Logansport. The road is double tracked from these points and is in charge of the offices at Logansport and Cincinnati.

Heavy Storms Cause Little

Damage to Pennsy Wires Recent heavy thunder and wind

storms that have hit this part of the country have caused but little damage to telephone andL telegraph wires of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania railroad, according to J. E. Foley, .division operator.

He says that practically every storm

causes some trouble. Operators are usually able to quickly repair damage done to fuses and instruments.

Linemen are dispatched from the

nearest points, in such cases. It takes

an extremely heavy storm to snap the

poles, however.
