The Farm and the Fanner By William R. 8anborn

"This is our busy day. We held our wheat to thresh with the oats and are .- making a cleanup," said Burt Eddins, : of Eldorado. "Both crops could have been larger but they are of fine qual- " ity and there will be considerable of ' ' each." Mr. Eddins is a tobacco buyer and 1 handles a fair share of the Preble crop : each season. He says that leaf is slightly higher, is bringing 17 to 20 cents for 1919 goods, that there Is considerable being sold Just now and numerous buyers are scouring the Miami Valley picking up crops. Less tobacco was planted around Eldorado this year and while much of it is looking good, some crops are not doing well. Some Mighty Fine Corn. "There are 60 acres of corn down on the County T. B. farm that is as promising as any I have ever seen. : Fifty acres in one field stands as level as a floor, is fully tasseled and beginning to shoot." This is the report of Will Seaney, county trustee and in charge of the farm in a supervisory capacity. The farm produced liberally last year and a gross income of $8,000 was paid over to the county auditor. A good judge of land values says: "The T. B. property is now worth fully $50,000. There are a fraction above 238 acres in the property, and it is being farmed to the limit. Harvester Dividends. ; The International Harvester company reports a 10 per cent dividend earned on $80,000,000 of common stock

in 1919, against 11 in 1918. Large amounts were written off for war lscfs the war tones and now the floating debt has been retired. The cash dividend rate has been increased from six to seven per cent. The com- .' pany is now, in a measure, co-opera-; five and a provision has been made for ' the payment of 60 per cent to em- ; ployes against 40 per cent to the com- " pany of all profits above a stated amount to sinking fund, after Interest : payments. Stock is also being issued to employes on favorable terms. The Man From Dalton Road. He laid a short, thick ear of white corn on our desk, this man from the Dalton road, living three miles north of Hagerstown. We looked it over. ; It weighed 18 ounces, was well filled and bono dry. Charles Shutz remarki ed that he had grown a lot of that ' corn last year and that he expected a ! banner crop on liis 39 acres this fall. "If you want to see some real corn. .' standing in walls like saplings, come ; over ond see us. No, not merely on ' my farm but In my neighborhood.

Just north of Hagerstown we can ; show you the corn center of the Unit- ; td States, this yi3r." Makes Wheat Sowing Difficult. On of tbe results of the hail and wind storm on some northern Wayne county farms, last Saturday, will be to make it hard to sow wheat in a lot of the corn. The corn is leaning badly and will be "bowed" where it recovers and the stalks lie every which way, where partly down. Where the ptorm hit hardest the blades were actually shredded, this occurring on the Seaney, Showalter, Collins, and on several other farms around Fountain City, mostly to tho north and east. ' Some farmers estimate their hail damage at one-third the prospective crop. The hail strip was nearly two miles wide,' extending northeast to Arba and Whitewater, also about a mile west of Fountain City-along the Williamsburg pike. Much of New Garden township escaped hail damage but that whole section got ample rain.

FARMERS MAY FIX OWN WHEAT PRICES WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 Plans by which organized farmers will put into operation a gigantic price-fixing or

ganization for wheat and which would have an Influence in extending such a program to producers of all other food commodities will be considered by the national board of farm organizations at a meeting to be held at Columbus, O., Sept. 1 to 3, according to announcement Thursday from the headquarters of the organization. With the announcement went forth a warning to the members of the national board of farm organizations, in which Charles A. Lyman, secretary, insists that the interest of the consumer and his attitude toward a farmer price-fixing monopoly must be first ascertained, that an alliance must inevitably be had with one organization representing the consumers, the American Federation of Labor, and that through the advantage in voting power the consumers or city population might in retaliation take from the farmer what has been gained in the way of co-operative organizations for the distribution of farm products. 4,000 Elevators Owned Now "Approximately 4,000 farmers' grain elevators are owned and controlled by the Farmers' National Grain Dealers' association and the farmers' union and equity societies in affiliation with the national board of farm organization," said Mr. Lyman today. "This number constitutes more than three-fourths of the farmer grain elevators in the country. While there is a general feeling on the part of the self-help organizations that grain marketing methods should be im

proved, there is still a justified belief that '-operative machinery built up with painstaking care must not be set aeire with, haste and without reasonable assurance that different methods will accomplish better and safer results."

Farm Federation

LAUREL ENTERTAINS HORTICULTURAL MEN

More than 1,000 persons from agricultural experiment stations and private orchards in practically every state of the union gathered at Laurel, Ind.. Thursday to learn the result of a 10-year orchard experiment. The meeting, which is held under the auspices of the Indiana Horticultural society, took place In a large orchard of E. A. Schultze. The orchard is located on a large

hill overlooking the surrounding country and the guests who arrived early were enjoying themselves sight-see

ing. Leading horticultural experts from every part of the country had places on the program. Prof. C. G. Woodbury, who started the experiment work on a 23-acre plot there 10 years ago for Purdue university, explained the results of his work. This experiment included soil culture and methods of tree growth, the idea being to determine the quickest and best means of producing an orchard. Purdue had no financial interest in the undertaking, the plot being turned over to the station by Mr. Schultze for experiments only. Prof. Woodbury was prepared to reveal a difference in apple yields of nearly 36 bushels to the tree per year through different soil treatments. A plot which received no further attention than the cutting of grass, which was left lying on the ground, produced an average of 3.44 bushels per tree for the past five years. A plot which was cultivated clean during the entire period produced an

average of 39.2 bushels per tree for the last five years of the experiment. Ranking third was a plot which pro

duced an average crop of 35.52 hushels per tree for the five years. This plot was seeded to grass, which was cut and let die, but the treese were given an adequate mulch of straw during the entire period. Following the explanation and inspection of tbe plots there were talks by Prof. G. I. Christie, director of the experiment station; Prof. Joseph Oskamp, of the Missouri experiment station, who had charge of the Laurel work during the greater part of the experiment; Prof. W. H. Alderman, chief of the University of Minnesota, and Prof. E. J. Kraus, of the University of Kansas.

GEN. SIR WALTER CONGREVE Gen. Sir Walter Congreve has virtually become ruler of Palestine by his appointment as commander in-chief of the British forces in that land. At the outbreak of the recent war he was

a colonel. He won promotion to the rank of major general, and later to that of lieutenant general, for dlstintlnquished service on the battlefields of France. He had worn the Victoria cross, the highest British mil1 1 a r y decoration, since 1899, when as a captain In the rifle brigade, after the batter of Colen-

so in the Boer war, he volunteered, along with the only son of Field Marshal Lord Roberts, to recover the British guns lost in that engagement. Though himself wounded,

he managed, with the help of Surgeon Major Babbie, to carry Lord Roberts's mortally stricken son back to the English lines after he had been struck down by the Boer fire. For this accomplishment Congreve and Babbie each received the Victoria cross. The same decoration was awarded posthumously to young Lieutenant Roberts, and was bestowed upon Lord Roberts with the request that he wear it upon

his right breast, to distinguish it from his own, wbich he had won in the Indian mutiny in 1857. Lord Roberts was deeply touched by the action of Congreve in bringing back his dying son, and he attached

Congreve to his staff as one of his military secretaries. Lord Kitchener took him in the same capacity upon the return of the troops to England, and afterward Congreve was private secretary to the Duke of Connaught as inspector general of the British army Congre-re Is Irleh. He owns Chartley Hall in Staffordshire, an Elizabethan structure long owned by Lord Ferrers. It is said to have cost Congreve $400,000, regarded as very low for the property.

to provide for more food crops, according to an announcement at a meeting yesterday of representative farmera from 28 of the chief tobacco counties of these states. It was unanimously voted to do away with next year's crop.

TOBACCO MEETING CALLED LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 6. A convention of farmers from every tobaccogrowing county in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana will be held at Lexington, Ky., on Aug. 18, to determine whether the 1921 burley crop should be eliminated

Officers and directors of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associa

tions, who opened a two-day conference at headquarters in Indianapolis Thursday, received a request from J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, to appoint a representative at once to accompany a committee composed of governors of surplus grain producing states and one representative from the farmers' organization from each of these states to appear before the Interstate commerce commission next Monday and make complaint regarding shipment of grain. In the communication received by Lewis Taylor, general secretary, Mr. Howard stated that Governor Harding of Iowa has been making a comprehensive study of the car situation as affecting grain and coal by water shipments. He said that the information clearly indicates that rates on grain from Chicago or Duluth to Buffulo are entirely out of proportion with other rail rates and that these low rates are used by the railroads to get business which could be done by boats much more economically.

At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger.
