UJH UUUUtli, W AKNINU TO INDIANA FARMERS

The1 Farm and Farmer

By WILLIAM IL SANBORN

LAFAYETTE. Ind, Nor. 9. "Beware of clover seed containing dodder. Do not get this injurious pest on your farm. Protect your clover crop by purchasing and sowing seed free from this harmful weed," says Director G. I. Christie of the Purdue Experiment station. This warning is given now for the reason that many samples of clover seed received from Indiana contain large amounts of dodder seed. A sample received this week at the U. S. Seed laboratory at Purdue contains dodde rat the rate of 17,550 seeds per pound of clover. Sowing this seed at the rate of eight pounds per acre, 140,400 dodder seeds would be sown, or at the rate of 7,020 dodder seeds per square rod. A second sample contains 675 dodder seeds per pound of clover, while a third 2,520 dodder seeds, a fourth 15,800 and a fifth 13,500. Under the U. S. Seed Importation Act, clover or alfalfa seed containing 80 or more dodder seeds per pound is prohibited from entry. If. seedsmen are prohibited from importing, seed containing dodder, should fanners not exercise great care against the distribution of this weed? Dodder Is Parasite. Dodder, is harmful because It is a parasite and destroys the clover plant. It derives its food, not from the soil, but directly from the plant which it infests. After becoming established on the host plant, the part of the dodder plant below the point of attachment dies. The part attached to the clover crop grows and spreads rapidly, so that distinct circular areas will be found bared of living clover or alfalfa. Dodder plants are distinguished by their slender, thread-like stems which are lemon yellow, orange or pink.

Dodder seeds are much smaller than red clover, being about 1-20 of an inch or less in diameter. They are oval and slightly flattened. The color is a light brown or dark brown, sometimes an ashy gray, while the surface is finely roughened, and often is pitted, as seen under a lens. Clover containing dodder must be carefully cleaned in order to remove the dodder seed. Farmers should exercise great care in the handling of this seed or should have it properly cleaned by seedsmen who have special apparatus for this purpose.

A Webster township man phones us

that the federation meeting on Wednesday evening will not be held at the church, but at the school buildingEvery Webster farmer Is invited. Will Card, living south of Richmond, opened the ball at Glen Miller early on Monday morning, by delivering two truck loads of hogs. One truck load could have "carried another hundred pounds per hog and then not have been of extra-weight. Mr. Gard said he had a lot more hogs "coming on," hence the clearance of lightweights. The high spot on hogs at the local stock yards last week was $14. A total of $19,330.30 was paid out At present low prices this represented a whole lot of meat, all of which was shipped east. The area from which live stock is sold at Glen Miller is constantly broadening. Shippers who formerly trucked or shipped to Indianapolis are now bringing their hogs to Richmond. Shorthorns Average $1,660. At the Hartnett auction sale of 79 Imported Shorthorns at Chicago a few days ago the sale netted $132,175, or an average of $1,660 per head. This sale reflects the demand for good animals and is reassuring to Shorthorn fanciers throughout the country. The Jay county, Indiana, Shorthorn Breeders' association held its first sale at Portland, on October 30. There were 16 calf club heifers in the sale.

which averaged $496, and were mostly

bought by the fathers of the young

sters who fed them. Fifty-six cattle sold for $15,620, or at an average of $280. A Stultz, of Pennville, Ind paid $850 for a heifer dating from May. 1919, this being the top of the sale. Iceland's Wool Crop Unsold. Perhaps you have thought Iceland too cold a country for wool growing, but the minister of finance reports that "our wool crop is still on hand, owing to falling textile prices and poor

demand." That is what ails the wool pooled In Wayne county, apparently, which "though lost to sight is to memory dear," so to speak. A farmer who lately sold a 44-pound cowhide for $3.50 to a home buyer,

Widow Preferred to Meet Death at Home "For many years I suffered from stomach trouble. All the doctors I tried helped me but little. All said I would have to go to hospital and be operated on for gall stones or I would not live much longer. I told them I preferred to meet death at home. One day I picked up an advertisement of Mayr s Wonderful .Remedy and since taking a course of it more than a year ago have not had a single pain in my stomach, have good appetite and-can eat anything." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the Intestinal tract nnd allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN An analysis of the preliminary figures Issued by the director of the census, at Washington, relating to the number of farms in Wayne county, acres harvested, number of farm animals, and the value of the lands and buildings, will be found of considerable interst. The figures in the 1920 census are compared with those of the census taken in April, 1910. Beginning with the number of farms In the county on the two dates we find that in April, 1910 we had 2,627 farms against 2,410 this year. This shows a loss of 217 farms, which means larger farms at this time, with, fewer owners. The report further shows that there were 2,592 white and 35 colored farmers in 1910, against but 2,393 white and 17 colored farmers In 1920. In 1910 these farms were operated bj 1,766 owners or managers, and 861 tenants, against 1,577 owners or managers and 833 tenants this year. The total land in farms is given at 248.292 acres in 1920, against 247,055

acres ten years ago. The showing of Improved acres in 1920 is but 86 acres in excess of that shown In 1910, at 202,088 acres. Number of Farm Animals. More farmers reported domestic farm animals In 1910 than in the

present year. For instance, 2,482 reported them in 1910 against 2,304 when the census was taken in this county With reference to this fact the report states that: "The figures -for domestic animals in 1910 are not very closely comparable with those for 1920, since the present census was taken in January, before the breeding season had begun; while the 1910 census was taken in April, about the middle of the breeding season, and included many spring calves, colts, etc." This, however, refers to the number of head shown, rather than to the number of farms reporting. The following is the comparison of live stock holdings in Wayne at the two census periods. The 1920 figures are given first: Horses, 8,376 vs 9,618;

mules, 536 vs 443; cattle, 19,123 vs 17,418; sheep, 8,109 vs 12,775; swine, 81.076 vs 85.332. Field Crops Harvested. With reference to the acreages harvested, these figures relate to the p recensus years, 1909 and 1919, as no re

ports could be made on "crops har

vested." either in January or April, of the census years. From this tabulation we find that we harvested 64,446 acres of corn in 1919 vs 65,760 acres in 1909. This shows over 1.300 acres less last year. With wheat, however, the figures run the other way. We harvested 45,121

acres of wheat in 1919 against but 31,539 acres in 1909, owing to the world's demand for bread when wheat

was sown in the fall of 1918. Per contra we harvested but 8,500 acres of oats in 1919 vs 12,295 in 1909. Our hay

harvest of last year was cut from 19,745 acres, against 22,214 acres ten

years earlier. The yield of wheat last year Is given at 915,448 bushels,

against 430,149 In 1909, and of corn at 2,745484, against 2,990.652 bushel in 1909. As to our oats crop at the two

dates, we find a falling off in produc

tion last year, the comparison being

245,670 last year against 260,395.

The comparison shows that we have

fewer and larger farms, operated by

fewer farmers, and that the increased acreage devoted to wheat in the war period was earned at a loss of corn, oats and hay acreage. That this condition will continue is no longer likely. Increase in Valuation. One of the most important of the census estimates at this period on inflation, or at least when land inflation was at its height at the beginning of 1920, is that of the value of lands and buildings in the two census years. The

value of the lands and buildings on

More Interest Is being taken In

women's athletics at. Earlham this year than ever before, according to

Miss Clara Comstock, the women's athletic director. The interest is especially manifest in the hockey teams. Four class teams have been organized this year in place of two teams, as formerly. A total number of 120 girls

have turned out for the hockey teams.

which is a larger number than most

universities reach. -x

The class series - start next week

and will continue until the winning team is decided. The class captains of the hockey teams are: Seniors. Abbey Davidson; juniors. Clara

Pierce; sophomores, (Elizabeth Parker; freshmen, Leon a Hole.

Miss Comstock also stated that the game of soccor, which has been In

troduced for the first time at the col' lege this year, will be continued next year and will constitute one of th girls sports for which letters will b given. Archery, a sport not given as a rule among western colleges, is extremely popular at Earlham. Two years ago an impetus was "given this sport by Susie Meek, a native Indian, which has lasted to the present time.. Miss Meek set some records which have never been equalled. Instruction is also given by Miss Comstock in golf to those who deslro it and although there is no golf course at the college, this line of activity is becoming more and more popular at

the college.

In addition to the elective sports.

classes are also given in gymnastic work, which freshmen and sophomore women are required Jo attend.

Release foremen who Suffer The multitude of American women who suffer terribly day after day and year after year from ills peculiar to their sex is almostbeyond belief, yet there is hardly a town or hamlet in the United States wherein some woman, and often many, dc not reside who have been restored to health from someof-the worst forms of female ills, and often avoided operations by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

These Two Women Tell of Their Experience.

Carrollton. Kv. "I suffered almost;

two years with female weakness. I could not walk any distance, ride or take any exercise at all without resting. If I swept the floor or did any kind of work it would bring my sickness on I was weak and languid, had no energy, and life wasa misery to me. I was under the care of a good physician for several months and tried other remedies. I had read of Lydia E. Pinkham's "Vegetable Compound and decided to try it. After taking twelve bottles I found myself much improved and I took six more. I have never had any more trouble in that respect since. I have done all kinds of work and at present am an attendant at a State Hospital and am feeling fine. I shall always recommend your Vegetable Compound." Lillian Thabp, 824 South 6th
