FRIENDLY FOLKS OF COUNTY FEDERATION HOLDS BIG MEETING

v. By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The eplrit of organization anfl co-op eratlon was In evidence at the monthly mass meeting of Wayne county farmers in the high school -auditorium on Wednesday night. More than 600 were present, and every township In the county was represented. Center, Franklin, Wayne and Boston led In numbers, but there was a sprinkling from every point on the county map. All were seated on the main floor, except that the Center delegation overflowed Into the north balcony, their large banner displayed at the baci of the group, telling all comers that Center is loyal to the cause. The township standards were all on view, and at the call of the chairman each delegation arose and was applauded. It was a friendly crowd and an enjoyable evening, lasting until 10:45. The county meetings bid fair to become an established feature of farm organization work here, and "will go

far toward developing the spirit 01 mutual Interest and helpfulness In rural Wayne. The Keynote Is Loyalty. The program embraced the names of some very effective speakers. The keynote was loyalty. The need for such work as the federation designs doing, and for a closely knit farm organization, county, state and national, was emphasised. The greatest good to the greatest number, this resulting In benefit to all, was the central thought. E. G. McCollom, secretary of the Indiana Co-operative Grain Dealers' association, spoke of the development of this idea and of its growth and results in its saving to farmers, by the elimination of unnecessary service along the line of distribution. Thi saving was of general benefit, he said, and when the purposes of the various farm organizations were more generally and better understood, the people would all be friendly to the cause. The principles of, co-operative buying and selling are right, he said. Under present conditions the need for this action and Baving on the part of the farmers could not be denied. The New County Agent. J L. Dolan, of Mcndota, Illinois, who has been recommended to Wayne by Purdue, as good county agent Umber, was Introduced. Mr. Dolan comes from a county having the largest farm bureau membership in the country, more than 3,000 helng enrolled at dues of $15 Per year. The directors of the Wayne federation have Indorsed his application, which now goes to rurdue. Mr. Dolan created a good lmrrcssion. "We Will Stick Together." Among the speakers of the evening were: Earl Crawford, of Milton; Kverret Hunt, of Franklin; E. U f"0"' of the state federation, and Walter B. Fulghum, of Richmond. Mr. Fulghum closed the meeting In a five m nute talk which resulted In the audience arising to Its feet and insisting that "We will all stick together." This is now to be the slogan of Wayne farmMr E F. Murphy Introduced the various speakers and told briefly of his work here and of the assistance given him by the federation. He goes to Chicago on August 1. Theodore Davis and E. L. Patterson commended Mr. Murphy's work and wished him weil in his new home, which was applauded. It was decided that the future secretary of the federation is to he appointed from the membership, thus freeing the county agent from such responsibility. TWO MASKED MEN HOLD UP GARAGE AT SHELBYVILLE SHELBYVILLE. Ind.. July 29. Two masked men entered the MarkleyMvers garage here early Tuesday and ho'lding up Grover Moore, the night man, at the point of a revolver, removed two automobile tires and had about succeeded In breaking into the cash register when they were frightened away, by the dropping bread pans in a bakerv across the street. The robbers rushed to their car outside the garage and hastily drove away, going In the direction of Indianapolis.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

According to Goodrich Brothers at Winchester, the elevator men have been hit he hardest lately of any time in many years. The continued slump in corn, of which all elevators held a Jag, and which few could move, has cost them from 15 cents up to 36 cents per bushel. On top of this loss comes a continual drop in the price of wheat, ever since they commenced buying. Oats have also gone to smash, and while country elevator stocks "were light In this section, there have been considerable loss on oats in the state, and much more in western oat districts. Need Both Cars and Coal. Goodrich Brothers stated on Wednesday that they "had gotten In two cars of coal this week, which lasted about two minutes, as threshers were waiting for it and are not yet all completely supplied for their runs, particularly as there Is a large oat acreage to follow wheat. "We would be more content with the outlook, if we had

plenty of coal and cars, but neither

are in sight. Just now the Big Four is grabbing oft everybody's coal, except that for public utilities, to be sure of keeping the wheels going round," said Mr. Goodrich. "The large elevator capacity at Winchester has so far prevented a glut; It is the small elevators at country points that are suffering most" Kept Stocks Low. "We have not been piling up wheat," raid H. U Trick, of Eldorado, "but have been shipping out almost as fast as received. The outlook has been so uncertain that we haven't loaded up with grain from day to day, but would have taken In more wheat had the car service been better. This is a good time for grain buyers to stay close to shore, in my opinion." Mr. Trick said a car came in on Wednesday, and that they had been selling against receipts on the 10 day shipment basis since the very first load came in. They were paying $2.40 for No. 1 at Eldorado on Wednesday evening. Shipped Only Two Cars. Roscoe Rosa, manager of the elevator at Williamsburg, reports the elevator choked and no cars in sight. But two cars had been sent out from this point up to Thursday noon. Mr. Rosa says the oat harvest, is progressing hut he knows of none threshed so far. The Farmers' Co-operative folks at Camden said on Wednesday evening that they had been paying $2 50 for wheat, up to the time their bins were choked on Tuesday, and that in view of what has happened In the grain markets that was a mighty liberal price. They haven't room for another wagon load and have no assurance of cars. They expect oat threshing to begin during the coming week. There are three elevators at Camden; all are Just now in the same boat as to cars, and each reports some of the finest wheat grown in that section in years.

as to Quality, but not In number of j bushels per acre. i Tied Up At Cottage Grove. Gardner and Lewis at Cottage Grove have been able to get but one car so for this season and their elevator Is brim full. They haven't been able to take in wheat for past few days, but paid the top of the market for what is on hand. They tell of a lot of good oats, the threshing of which will Bhortly begin. No elevator man seems anxious to take in oats in a hurry, and for two reasons: First, because of the pressure of wheat and shortage of cars and next because the bottom has fallen out of the oats market, and no one cares to carry them till prices steady. Oats taken In will be mostly sold for ten day shipment and the price be based on the selling figures. The Poos elevator at Eaton Btill had some room on Wednesday evening, but no cars on track nor Immediate assurance of any. They paid $2.40 for No. 1 red at this elevator on Wednesday. Mr. Poos said he had not yet heard of ar oats being threshed but some farmers were expecting extra large oat crops this season. Oats Run 77 Bushels to Acre. McMinn Bros, were, we believe, the

nrst men to thresh oats in Center township. They claim to have harvested 1,050 machine measure bushels from about 15 acres of land, and that Judging from two wagon loads both weighed and measured, that they will weigh in 1,150 bushels of 32 pounds, thus running 77 bushels to the acre. Lawrence McConaha threshed a part of his oats on Wednesday afternoon. JOHNSON COUNTY LEADS STATE IN WHEAT YIELD FRANKLIN, Ind.. July 29. Report3 of wheat yields that are coming from the farms of Johnson county and from the adjoining counties, indicate that the local farmers have the best wheat crops of any county in the state, while the wheat acreage In this county was not as large as usual. Some of the yields that have been., reported are running as high as 40 bushels to the acre, while a 30 bushel yield Is not uncommon. It is thought that the average yield for the county will run near 25. Rush county millers predict that their average will run only 12 bushels an acre, and may fall lower. Shelby county ia reported "spotted" as Bome yields have been well above the 20 mark, while in some places the grain has not been cut. The Johnson county grain is testing high, with the major portion near CO pounds, or No. 1 wheat.

CORN'S MIGHTY GOOD DOWN IN RUSH GO.

RUSHVItXE, Ind., July 29. A bumper crop of corn in Rush county this fall is in prospect, and the farmera are optimistic over the condition of the fields. Corn in this vicinity has made very rapid advancement during the last two weeks and the farmers Bay It has a fine, healthy color. Ears are already forming in many fields which were planted early and In others the stalks are tasseling. Because of the weather conditions this spring there was a large acreage of late planted corn and for a while farmers were concerned lest It would not mature. The corn acreage in this county this year is unusually large. Some of the ground which was sown in wheat last fall was plowed up late In the spring w hen it was seen that the wheat would be a failure. It is believed that the acreage Is the largest ever, planted in corn and with an average yield the total value of the crop will exceed all former figures. The demand for corn Is heavy as many farmers are feeding practically all they produce. Producers do not believe that the prices this year will be greatly differ ent from those which prevailed last year, and for this reason are tending all the ground that they can. The wheat thrashing in Rush county Is well under way but the yield is not as heavy as first anticipated. The total crop will not reach, the average yield for this locality. Most of the crews are thrashing oats at the same time that the wheat is thrashed. The hay crop in Rush county is said to be good this year. In a very short time farmers will begin plowing for wheat It is believed that the acreage will be large because of the short crop this summer.

Fayette Farmers Worried About Wheat Problems CONNERSVILLE, Ind.. July 29. There probably will be a meeting of the Fayette county unit of the Farmers' Federation, within a few days, to discuss a group of problems which lie about the autumal sowing of wheat. The wheat crop Is of such vitial interest to the public that the whole matter comes into the zone of popular interest. Farmers say that the price of the acid phosphate fertilizers, which are those necessary to successful wheat production on most of the land in this county, has slipped up $3 or $10 per ton since the war a lift In price which fairly maddened the fanners generally. The Federation went for the manufacturers, hammer and tongs, and succeeded in heating down this price to about $30 a ton, which is a reduction of from four to six dollars from the price the fertilizer men were preparing to charge. But even this reduction leaves the fanners in a quandary, they say. To add to their consternation, wheat took a 14 cent tumble, going from about $2.54 to about $2.40 all at once, without explanation.

Many farmers are determined, 60 It

Is said, that unless the wheat price

keeps up, and unless fertilizer can be bought at something like a reasonable price, then they will sow rye Instead. Rye gives the same results in crop

rotation as wheat does, except that it

Is a far less favorable field for clover. But It produces far less food, and food 13 the need of the world.

A NATURAL REMEDY FOR PYORRHEA

PYROS must not be considered as transcending known medical laws, for pyorrhea specialists have asserted that if certain chemicals could be mixed they woold cure pyorrhea. PYROS contains these divers chemicals long recognised as capable of eradicating the pyorrhetic pus, but hitherto regarded as unmlxable. The triumph of PYROS lies In the perfect fusion of these chemicals which kill the pyorrhetlc germ. A. G. Luken & Co. advertisement

Watch Late Potato Bugs

E. E. RICE, Garden Supervisor. Do not let potato bugs destroy your crop this year, is the warning issued by F. C. Oaylord. of the horticultural extension staff of Purdue university. It requires only a few days for these pests to destroy the young potato leaves, so they should be controlled as early as possible before they have injured the foliage to any extent. The young that hath from the eggs will do more damage even than the adults. As soon as the plants are a few inches high, spray them thoroughly with powdered arsenate of lead, at the rate of two pounds to 50 gallons of water, or for the small garden, 10 level. teaspoonsful of the arsenate to one gallon of water. Paris green may be used instead of lead arsenate, at the rate of one pound

to 60 gallons, one teaspoonful to a gallon of water, also adding three or four times as much lime as Paris green to prevent burning of the leaves. Lead arsenate is preferred because it sticks to the foliage better and is somewhat cheaper. Spraying should be repeated when necessary, or generally every two weeks through most of the season. If started early the "bugs" will be easier to control and a smaller number of tprays necessary. If arsenate of lead and nicotine sulphate are added to Bordeaux mixture, the one combined spray will control fungous diseases, plant lice and chewing insects.

COULDN'T DOUBLE UP HIS FISTS Suffered great pains from rheumatism of the joints. His muscles were sore and stiff. Claims great relief since taking Dreco, the grearterbal remedy. When the kidneys become weak or deranged It Is Impossible for them to separate the poisons from the blood as It passes through these organs; the kidneys are the filtering plant for the body; as the blood goes through they strain out the poisons and pass them from the system, if these poisons stay in the blood such troubles as rheumatism, catarrh, sallow skin, dizziness, headaches, etc., show up. The body requires a full supply of pure, rich red blood, free from poisons, to keep it in a healthy condition. Dreco acts on the kidneys, keeping them strong to purify our blood 6upply. "The greatest relief I've known in years is since I took Dreco", said Mr. Lester S. Geyer, employed by the Starr Piano Co., Richmond, Ind. "I've been full of rheumatism, aching Joints and sore muscles for a long time. "My hands were so sore I couldn't double up my fists; I couldn't bend over without having terrible pains in my back. "Tve taken so much medicine that my stomach was all out of order. My food didn't digest and I got nervous and weak, but I'm feeling great once more for I've never seen anything take nold like Dreco did. It simply knocked out my troubles and put me on my feet again." All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's seven drug stores. Advertisement.
