EVERYBODY PITCHES IN TO HELP GATHER WHEAT, HAY, OATS

By WILLIAM B. SANBORN When harvest days approached there seemed to be a getting-together of the whole rural population in the Wayne district The helpful spirit of co-operation went into action and is remaining in action, so that not a saveable fragment of hay or a bushel of grain be loBt. The country merchant, the lumberman, the youngster from the bank, the clerk in the country store, and last but not least, the elevator man and his assistants, not absolutely needed to run the works, scattered out among the farmers where most needed. Farmers in the same threshing rings got together to outline their harvest plans in the radius of their community centers, and the question of trading work took the preference over trading dollars. Everybody at Work. Numerous elevator men have placed young women in their offices to ans

wer phone calls, while they foraged

abroad to help a neighbor or to attend

to their own fields, while th sun was shining. There have been too few

days of sunshine to lose a single available hour in the hay or wheat, at least

up to last Friday, since when the skies

have been more propitious over eastern Indiana. So far as wheat Is concerned, the great bulk of it is in shock and the remainder will be within next two days. Boston township Is pretty well cleaned up, and the same Is true as to most of the districts to the south. There is considerable late wheat between Richmond and Winchester, but the last of it will be cut by Thursday or Friday, weather permitting. Winchester is late on account of almost dally showers until now. In the meantime some have been saving their hay as they could, letting ihelr wheat to ripen to the limit. With both hay and wheat cared for,

quickly follows the oats harvest. Oats are very heavy around Lyn-, and Randolph county is looking for the best oats harvest in years. While that cannot be said of wheat in this entire radius, from 10 to 25 per cent more wheat is being harvested than was anticipated in early June. The pastures have had plenty of rain and there is grass to spare. Taken as a whole, the situation is much better than the cold, backward spring presaged. Corn has had a splendid growth in the last two weeks, and the backward fields are exceptional, though found here and there. Plenty of corn is "laid by" and more will be within the week. Farm Labor Situation What has been said indicates farm labor status at this time. Oxford, College Corner and many Preble county points reported an easing in the farm labor situation early in June, the tobacco planters being hardest hit of the farm population at transplanting time, recently completed. Still there was comparatively little complaint from planters, but the acreage was reduced here and there from this cause. Cambridge. Hagerstown, Greensfork, Fountain City, Lynn, Modoc and ITollansburg reported early that "farmers are all set, have enough hands to get by." Many farmers had to work extra hours and were helped

out by those whose work was farther

advanced, and practically all the acreage planned was planted and is now being cared for.

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

Albert Higgins, living on the Caleb Jackson place near Centerville, has 110 acres in corn, "waist high or better," which seems to have escaped all corn pests. It indicates a small fortune when harvested next fall. The July crop report shows considerable improvement over the June showing. The estimate is for 2,406,-

000,000 bushels of the bread grains, wheat, rye, barley and oats, only 37,000,000 less than were harvested in 1919. Spring wheat, cotton and oats promise larger crops than were harvested last year, but the soft winter wheat states have a crop nearly 60 per cent below 1919. Estimating from acreage and condition the prospective corn crop is to be pretty close to 3,000,000,000, unless nipped by early frosts, or hurt by an August drouth. Sold Belt Hogs at $16.10. Frank Hodgin got the top on hogs at Glen Miller on Saturday, $16.10, and a check for $4,432.90 for 44 Hampshire Belts, weighing 208 pounds each. There are now very few of this breed in Wayne county. But 75 calves were received at the yards on Saturday, against 128 a week ago, "farmers being too busy to bother with calves." Raised Both Corn and Hogs. Clem Endsley, who market HI head of hogs at the Glen last Friday said:

"I have fed out 200 hogs this year, raising both corn and hogs on the place, and my hqgs made me plenty

of money." Mr. Endsley will move to the Miss Belle Scott farm in the Wal

nut Level district, this fall, and says

he will try and raise 600 hogs next year. The Scott farm contains 300

acres. Sowed Timothy With Wheat. Cliff Alvey says that of his 65 acres of wheat, half of it had been sown in timothy and looks like a promising lot of hay. The balance has been harvested, the late sown, and turned out "Just fair." Mr. Alvey is living on the John J. Druley farm in Boston township.

almost exactly the same total as for the corresponding period last year, it was announced by the department of agriculture. Owing to the good demand, the department said, prices on almost everything except onions hav been high this season. Potato prices are slowly working downward, but still are twice as hlgn as a year ago. Tomato shipments aro heavier than last year at this time. Peaches are still coming mostly from Georgia and prices are slightly greater than they were at this season last year.

Officers of the Indiana Federation of

Farmers' associations had another busy program during the last week in

which were crowded activities of in terest to the farmers of the state

John G. Brown, president of the organization, represented the federation at Washington in its complaint against

the poor car service being rendered in the state, and called attention to the

fact that with the harvest at hand the grain elevators would Boon be filled to capacity and unable p handle the surplus unless relief in the car shortage was given immediate attention. Mr. Brown made the trip to Washington with members of the Public Service commission to take the matter up with the Inter-State Commerce commission. Word has been received at headquarters of the federation that a county agent had been appointed in Perry county in the Ninth district, and that a movement is to be started soon in that county to perfect an association to become affiliated with the state body. Tuesday, Sept. 7, has been set aside as Indiana Federation of Farmers' as

sociations' day at the state fair, which

opens in Indianapolis on Sept. 6.

i A number of the county associations

of the state took advantage of the option secured on a large consignment of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania by

the federation. This coal was offered

in car load lots at approximately $15 per ton delivered to Indiana points.

WEVIL THREATENS WHEAT. GREENSBURG. Ind., July 12-

Wheat midge, frequently called "red

weevil," is threatening the wheat crop of this county, according to Joseph

Ireland, county agricultural agent. However, he says the crop will not be seriously affected. Mr. Ireland says the Insect attacks the young wheat

grain, sucks the juice from it and causes it to shrivel, although damage ceases when the kernel ripens. It

has been found tn many places of the

state during the past few weeks and

threatens to become as dangerous to the wheat crop as the Hessian fly, says Mr. Ireland. Wheat cutting is about three-fourths done in this county and thrashing is expected to start in about ten days.

How to Avoid Pesky Hessian Fly Next Year The Hessian fry, one of the oldest and at times one of the most destructive enemies of the wheat crop in the United States, is "again on the in

crease. Specialists of the united

States department of agriculture make the following suggestions for combatting the pest: Practice crop rotation. Do not sow wheat on stubble if it is possible to

avoid doing so. Plow under all infected stubble and ruined wheat, where practicable, soon after harvest. Destroy all volunteer wheat by harrowing, disking, plowing, or some other method. Plow all land to be sown to wheat as early and deeply as existing conditions will permit, and prepare a thoroughly pulverized and compacted seed bed Conserve moisture against a period of drought at seeding time TTse good seed. Fertilize. Sow wheat during the fly-freed per

iod, as advised by your farm adviser or state experiment station. Adhere to these practices every year whether the fly is abundant or scarce. They will help to keep it scarce.

CERTIFICATES FOR RELATIVES OF SOLDIERS SOON READY A circular from the war department says death and wound certificates are to be forwarded to the next kin of officers, enlisted men, field clerks or

other members of the authorized military establishments who died In set vice during the world war. These memorials, which are certificates bearing the fac simile of the slg nature of the president, will be en grossed by the state in alphabetical order and mailed to the addresses of persons, who according to the records of the war department, are entitled to them. The wound certificates will be the first to be prepared.

Therefore, vitamines are now prepared in a concentrated, easily assimilated tablet form called Vitamon, and numerous tests by men, women and children have plainly proved its extraordinary merit.
