LARGER FARMS, FEWER ! FARMERS, ACCORDING TO CENSUS FIGURES a., uil I I AM R. SANBORN We are Informed from Washington I that Indiana haa 16.773 fewer rarms In. 1920 than It had In 1900. Moreover. the state had 10.361 more . farms in 1910 than it haa today. According to the fourteenth cenaua reports, the state had a total of 205.124 farms in 1920. against 216,485 in 1910, and 221,897 in 1900. t ' A farm for census purposes is described as "all the land which is directly farmed by one person, either by his own labor alone, or with the assistance of his household or hired employes. When a landowner has dme or more tenants, renters, croppers or managers, the land operated by each is considered a farm." - The report next goes on to show that the number of farms decreased 2.9 per cent between 1900 and 1910, and 4.8 per cent from 1910 to 1920. The 'total acreage farmed in each of these periods is not given, the entire report be ing devoted to the number of farms in each state and county. Wayne Haa 2,410 Farms. The number of farms in Wayne county in 1920 is given as 2,410. This shows a loss in the past ten years of 217 farms, there being 2.627 listed ten years ago. Going back to 1900 we find that there was a slight gain in number of farms operated in that period, the 1900 total being set at 2,583 farms, against the 2.627 in 1910, an increase of 44 farms in ten years. These figures do not insure that we are farming a smaller acreage than we were ten or twenty years ago, but that fewer and larger farms are now operated. We do know that the acreage under cultivation has been largely increased since 1914, more particularly so in 1916 to '19 on account of the war-time demand for everything edible. That there will be more hay and pasture land and fewer cultivated acres in 1921, now seems assured, largely because of the uncertainty regarding the price on every farm crop, and also as to live stock. While no . figures are yet available, it is a certainty that less winter wheat has been sown this fall than last. Whether that will also prove true as to the spring sowing of wheat will depend upon outlook and prices at that time. If the country remains full of old corn next May, and prices are considered too low by the farmer, it will be natural for him to devote more land to hay and grass and less of it to corn. But it is fruitless to anticipate. Conditions may be greatly different in the spring of 1921. Farm Sale Calendar ) Friday, Oct. 29. At one o'clock; 40 Big Type Poland China Hogs.

THE

-1 The Farm By WILLIAM Kvery larmer who can ue present at . the county federation meeting in the courthouse on Saturday evening, Oct. 30, is urged to attend. The election of officers for the coming year, and the selection of two delegates to the state convention at Indianapolis on November 15-16, is only a part of the business to come up. AH township officers are relied upon to be present; also all workers in the organization. The day of the corn show is at hand, all over the corn belt. Rush county is making ambitious plans for a corn show at Rushville, in November, as are several other counties in the state. Some large cash prizes are to be offered at- Rushville and they are counting on a whale of a show. County Agents in Demand. There are but three counties in Indiana not already supplied, or which have not applied for county agents. These three are Howard, Crawford and Vermillion counties, which have taken no steps in that direction, so far as reported from Purdue. Mr. Coleman, of Purdue, states that in the seven years of county agent work in Indiana the county agent idea has become firmly established, and that the value of the agent in connection with the work of the farm associations, is being demonstrated every day. The editor of the Reporter, of LaSalle county, Illinois, rises to ino-u,rfi j "Do you remember way back in 1896 when corn sold for 18 cents per ; bushel?" The farmers short course will be held at Purdue on January 10-14 and as the short course has grown in popularity from year to year it is expected that the town will be filled with farmers on these dates. Mr. Swift Explains. And now ladies and gentlemen we will consider the statement just given out by Mr. Lewis Swift, an enterprising young man who is in the butcher business in Chicago, and who kills a few millions of cattle, etc., every year. This Mr. Swift declares that live stock market conditions will now improve, because forsooth: "The United States government has sold all of its cold storage meat supply." This supply, Mr. Swift said, "had been a bear factor." In view' of the ending of the war being two years away, and also in view of the fact that millions of pounds were possibly one year old at the date of the armistice, the wonder is that it was kept so long. Think of the ice and storage bills, and the army on the payroll to keep this meat from ao almost starved-for-meat public, oftimes In the past two years of famine prices at American butcher shops. What was the purpose at Washington? How much has the country lost by it? The Unanswered Question. As in the case of the 50.000 bales of cotton, at Nitro, Va., when cotton was climbing, so with the meat. The war being over it was a certainty that we should still continue to raise hogs and cattle, as we have; also that all supplies for army and navy as such were needed, could be purchased at lower than the "cost-plus" stores, withheld from those who needed them. This likewise applied to cotton, which in some of its manufactured forms was, bringing up to $25 per pound in the stores, possibly more in its filmy forms. But like the meats the cotton long remained unmarketed, after the demand for its use in powder suhsided. MlCrrt

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

. ' t and Farmer R. SANBORN it won Id appear. however, that the marketing of these badly needed, high cost supplies, should have been judiciously begun at a much earlier day, and continued until we all were sold. The entire left over stock would have been easily absorbed by 100,000.000 people, without demoralization in our markets and before such' great deterioration in quality and value occurred. Millions have questioned the why of this losing policy, but that question remains unanswered in plain English, to this .day. Labor Calendar Thursday, Oct. -28. Brotherhood of R. R.

What Is "Vitamine-Energy,,? Your Doctor Knows-But Do You? With Plenty of Viiamines in Your Body You Can Be Strong; Vigorous and Well Without Them You Remain Weak. Nervous and Run-down

IT will astonish many a housewife to know that there escape) with the steam of her everyday cooking certain healthgiving substances called VIT AMINES which Nature expressly provided in our raw foods to assure a race of keen, active, vigorous men, healthy, clear-skinned, beautiful women and strong, sturdy, robust children. - - Yet this is a fact so clearly established by the world's leading medical authorities and food experts that the subject of "VITAMINES" is now claiming widespread attention. In fact, it is "VITAMINE-ENERGY," more than anything else, that builds bigger jobs with bigger pay makes YOU push ahead when others turn back puts courage and determination in YOUR veins to go after what you want and GET IT. -- ' ' - With plenty of VITAMINES in your system, you need never be weak, run-down, worried, depressed, "hard-up" or unhappy. Once you possess true "VITAMINE-ENERGY" you can use it to gain the full measure of health, prosperity and contentment you desire. The power it gives you is virtually UNLIMITED. Dr. Carl O. Johns, in charge of the nutrition work in the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture, says: "We may have all the foods, but without vitamines we would get no good from them. Vitamines are absolutely necessary to human life." Dr. John J. Rudolph, a former Health Commissioner, late of New York Hospital Staffs and a Graduate of the University of Baltimore, says: "It is safe to state that NINE OUT OF EVERY TEN people would probably be far better off physically and mentally if they would get more of these life-giving vitamines into their systems.

But not until the discovery of a way to preserve and CONCENTRATE these wondrous substances was there any satisfactory means known by which you could be sure of getting enough of them to give you an abundance of force, energy and vitality. Now, however, the introduction of the CONCENTRATED VITAMINES, combined with other strength-building elements in tablet form, is regarded as a distinct triumph of present day Science. This form is known to physicians and druggists as VIT AM ON and you can easily procure it. NOTE: In countless disorders associated with weakness, anaemia, jack of energy, loss of weight, nervous troubles, indigestion, constipation, sallow skin, poor complexion and a general run-down condition, the astonishing health-value of vitamines has been so clearly demonstrated that physicians are now regularly prescribing VITAMON as well as taking it themselves. So confident are th manufacturers of the rapid and pronounced benefits it produces, that they maketh following unconditional guarantee! Use VITAMON for ten days and see for yourself the surprising change in your health and physical appearance, your energy and merltal vigor and the joy you get out of life. If you are not entirely satisfied with the results and are not convinced from the way YOU LOOK AND FEEL, that it has been worth to you far more than you paid for it, your money will be promptly refunded and the trial will cost you absolutely nothing. Your own druggist has VITAMON in stock or can easily obtain it for you. In any case you can be sure of getting it from
