CONDITIONS BAD IN EUROPE, SAYS RED CROSS HEAD

Dr. Livingston Farrand.

"The conditions in Europe were never worse than they are today," said Dr. Livingston Farrand, head of the American Red Cross, who has just sailed on a hurried trip to Europe. "Pitiful as may the conditions in devastated France and in some parts of Belgium and Italy, we are not concerned with those, simply because those countries nave reached a position where at least they can see daylight. "But when you take that vast territory in eastern Europe, when you think of the shattered vitality that is there, of the under-nour-ishment, the under-feeding, the want on every side, and above all when you think of that undermined child population that is being lookto to take the place of those lost in war, and of the inroads of disease, and a people not staggering, but on their knees it is impossible for the United States to turn back."

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The Earl Davenport and Arthur Barnes farm sale, on the Davenport farm a mile south of Pennville, on Tuesday, drew a large crowd. Good prices were paid on a majority of the offerings, and the net was $7,500. One of the sights at Eldorado thi3

week is the display of peaches in Frank Blackford's orchard at the edge of town. Mr. Blackford said some time

ago that including his few early

peaches, he would have at least 1,500

bushels this year. Looks now as if

this number would be largely exceed

ed. Numerous pickers are at work and the orchard has been a place of

pilgrimage for past few days. While devoting considerable land to his orchard Mr. Blackford raises a lot of tobacco and has about eight acres of

the weed this season. Tobacco Turning Out Well.

Considerable anxiety was felt last spring because of the small growth of tobacco plants and the lateness of transplanting. The summer, however, has proven favorable for rapid growth

and several crops are already hanging in the sheds. , i

The last 10 days have been almost

ideal for tobacco, according to W. B. Eddins, tobacco grower and large shipper, and with another week of the

same kind of weather, tonacco will De

pretty well along.

The Drew brothers at Castlne, have

cut their leaf and Charles Fudge, living between Eaton and Eldorado, has six acres of leaf in his sheds. The Eddins tobacco will not be cut for at least another week, possibly later.

depending on the weather.

As to the complaint of rust in the to

bacco fields, Mr. Eddins said that the damage will not be important. He in

spected one of his patches on Wednesday morning and found it free from rust, and the other patch had but a few plants affected. Such plants are immediately cut to prevent the disease from spreading. Tobacco Selling at 18 Cents. The latest sales of tobacco in Monroe township were at 18 cents, for 1919

leaf. Much of the last crop was conceded to be of fine quality, and buyers are picking up odd crops right along. The ever present danger and dread of tobacco growers, until the crop is cut is an early frost. An old tobacco grower recalled the fact today, that on the night of Sept 11, 1916. frost injured 200 out of 500 acres of tobacco in one section of Preble county.
