Implements, corn and hay; no household goods being put up. About 100 bushels of corn sold at $1.50, a very fair price, but the corn in the field did not sell high, it going . at $30 per acre, and 75 acres were sold, with the risk of frost hanging over it. Aside from the corn acreage the prices realized were considered very satisfactory. - Cattle Bring Good Price. - C. S.

He la now setting out 40 acres of fruit trees and berries, at the edge of town. - He Is an ex-service man and claims that the French are the greatest of all gardeners; also that "they can make a fruit tree lie down and roll over." As Mr. Oler Is a railway mall clerk, on a St Louis run, we judge he is a fairly busy man. Among the berries he has to put in are 8,000 strawberry plants. His display

Of;; perfect fruit shows the value of spraying and nrocer care of fruit

trees...'. A Great Year For Gardens. t The war garden was Ihe beginning of gardening by hundreds of our people who had never before experienced the delights and benefits of a carefully tended garden," said McDanlals of the Cambridge City Tribune, on Thursday, He cited numerous cases where folks who formerly bought all their vegetables are now growing them in abundance and are proud of their gardens and production.

The Farm and - the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

In discussing the sowing of wheat this fall, and the date set by Purdue as the time when the farmer will have the best show to escape the fly, Uriah Bertch gave his experience on this summer's wheat crop. He stated that he put in 80 acres of wheat, from September 20 to October 3, last fall. Of this 30 acers were so badly infested that he drilled In oats, for a feed crop. The 50 acres remaining yielded about 11 bushels to the acre. It would seem that the early sown grain infected the rest of the acreage, as he says there was fly all through his wheat. He remarked, incidentally, that owing to the rain there were only five days fit for sowing wheat last fall, and he knew of some being sown as late as Oct. 12. A listener remarked that he knew of a case where the sowing was done on Oct.V,20, but it was bo late that the grain did not make a good enough stand to survive the winter. According to the Purdue map the northern half of Wayne county should not be sown until Sept. 28, at earliest, and the southern half not earlier than Sept. 30. About Walnut Level Corn. H. M. Sourbeer, living on Walnut Level, believes that two favorable and frostless weeks are needed to make corn safe tip his way, and that while this will secure the bulk of it, some of their corn should have at least three weeks of good weather. Mr. Sourbeer took first award on a young

white Shorthorn bull at Dublin, and

The great mass of our citizenship must be trained in the principles of righteousness. This is the most important task of our schools. JHi Leaders with steady minds and quickened consciences must be developed for the professions, for business, for education, for social service For the past 70 years Earlham College has been training such leaders. Within its walls such men as William Dudley Foulke, Robert Underwood Johnson, Walter A. Jessup and Carl Ackerman received their inspiration and preparation. The World Needs More Such Leaders Many young men and young women of Wayne County are hoping and planning to attend Earlham College. Do They Deserve Your Help? Perhaps some day your son or your daughter may want to go to Earlham. Funds must be provided so that their hopes may be realized.

-Every dollar contributed to the present campaign for funds will be used to pay f

College instruction.
