DOUGLAS TELLS OF GOOD DONE BY STATE FARM FEDERATION By WILLIAM R. SANBORN When Maurice Douglas, vice-president of the state farm federation, walked. into the school house at Dalton on Thursday night, he was greeted by probably the largest audience ever fathered at a meeting of farmers in that township. Every seat was filled and a large overflow stood in the entrance hall during the whole evening. Mr. Douglas is an interesting talker, is completely informed as to his subjest, and was listened to with marked attention. Many ladies and children were present. Mr. Douglas cited the fact that when the farmers began to organize they had much to learn through experience. They found that some of their plans would meet opposition from interests that had been organized for fifty years They were on new ground, as farmers, and had to feel their way in the light of developments. That the need for organization was great could not be denied. Much betterment of conditions was desired and a co-operative effort was necessary to accomplish results. Much Progress Made. The speaker then cited what had been done through organized effort in Indiana, what stock yards abuses had been rectified, what legislation had been shaped to the public benefit during the last state session, and what had been accomplished at Washington, through the earnest efforts of the combined farm organizations. He proved that all of this had been of benefit to all farmers and consumers, and referred to public measures and legislation that the farm organizations planned to foster, for the general good. To Build, Not Tear Down. Mr. Douglas is a believer in co-operation, in the kind which builds communities. "Our aim is to build up, tnd not to tear down," said he. "We are not monopolists of business; we want to live and let live. We are farmers first and last. Farming is our business and occupation. We are only trying to arrange to get our share of the profits we produce, which is enly just." Apples Are Served. At the close of the Douglas address, and after he had replied to several questions, a recess was taken for the enjoyment of a liberal supply of Grimes Golden apples and social chat. Later on J. C. Root, local president, introduced J. L. Dolan, county agent, who spoke interestingly for 20 minutes on problems nearer home; of county and township work of importance to every country home, and to the prosperity of our whole community, which is one interblended whole. Secretary Ben Taylor read a gratifying financial report, showing a balance of $98 in the treasury, with no outstanding unpaid bills. The membership drive in Dalton township has hardly well begun and the meeting Thursday night is expected to help a whole lot in that work.

1350 City School Children Had Gardens in Last Summer Season

PITT OPENS RELATIONS WITH U. OF CINCINNATI PITTSBURGH, Dec. 3 Karl Davis, graduate manager of athletics of the University of Pittsburgh, announced today that Pitt had opened relations with the University of Cincinnati and that the Queen City institution would meet the Panthers on the gridiron here next October 15.

Elmer E. Rice, supervisor of gardens, has submitted a report of the garden work done in Richmond last summer. There were nearly 1,350 school children's gardens in the city, according to the report. Not only did his work include supervision of gardens ftf children, but he gave advice and aid to all persons requesting it. Following is the report made by Mr. Rice to the Wayne county chapter of the Red Cross, at whose expense the work is carried on: "Garden work in the Richmond public schools was begun about the first of May under the auspices of the Red Cross. The enrollment was taken by teachers of grades 3 to 8 inclusive, under the direction of the members of the Red Cross committee in the various buildings. Thirteen hundred and forty-four pupils enrolled. For various reasons some of those enrolled failed to have a garden, while some who did not enroll did have. Furnish Seed to Some. "Some garden seeds which had been procured last year were sold, and some furnished free to children unable to purchase. Work in gardens was late in getting started owing to long continued rains. "As a rule, as noon as weather permitted, work began in earnest and gardens were well cultivated. It was toirad impossible to visit all gardens, tut trips through alleys usually showed gardens in good shape and a large majority of back yards given over to

that purpose. "As the season progressed many calls were received for help in fighting plant diseases and insects. Wilt in the tomatoes; blight and scab in the potatoes and borers in the cucumber vines were the most common. "Many calls tame from men and women. These came to include trees and small fruits as well as garden products. This, I thinU, could be made a helpful part of the work

"Some persons who- were rooming and boarding had small gardens, some as they said, to learn something about it; others for the physical good they received from the work. "The Palladium gave space from day to day for matters of interest to the garden workers. "Through the Red Cross committee a report has recently been made concerning the products grown during the summer by the pupils in the schools. "Many produced vegetables for the

use of the family while some also had some for sale. A few report sales as high as $40 to $50, and, t. large number, a less amount. "Several speak of physical benefits received owing to exercise and living in the open air. "Many Epeak of knowledge gained by the work and express their belief that they can do better work next year because of this year's experience. Write Compositions. "Compositions were written explain--ing the work in gardens by all the grades. Even children in the kindergarten report having raised a few common vegetables. A very large per cent of thafre enrolled report a garden or an interest in one. Some report work already done looking towards next year's garden. "Production of many gardens was lessened by the appearance of worms on the fruit of thf tomatoes and cabbage. The injury of tomatoes by worms is something that is new in garden work. Corn ear worms and the army worm did most of the damage. "An attempt was made to offer suggestions that would he of value in ftoring vegetables for use during the winter, either in basements or out-of-doors. "The state etymologist was consulted in several instances and was helpful in many ways. , "Altogether the work was pleasant and the interest of parents in the work of the children would indicate that much permanent good has been done. "I wish to express my appreciation of the support given by those in charge, and for the publicity given. "ELMER E. RICE, "Garden Supervisor."

CATTLE AND HORSES BRING GOOD PRICE AT SCOTT-STEVENS SALE

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Twenty head of mighty fine market steers went under the hammer at the Mrs. Belle Scott and James Stevens sale on Walnut Level, on Wednesday. The 20 head were divided into lots of five, which sold at from $76.50 to $100.50 each; one bunch of 5 selling at $93.50. Shurley and Gaar were the buyers. The Scott-Stevpns sale was a cleanup, a dissolution sale,' in fact, Mr. Stevens having decided to quit farming and is to remove to Richmond. Mrs. Scott has' leased the farm to Clem Endsley, who was among the liberal bidders at the sale. Among his purchases was 1,000 bushels. of corn In the crib, for which he paid 81 cents per bushel. There was a lot of hay on the place, but this was disposed of at private sale some days ago. Teams at High Figures. Three fine teams of drafters weighing from 1,700 to 1,800 pounds, sold at high figures, compared with recent farm horse offerings. Tark Ammerman ot. the lowest priced team for $373; R. G. Wheeler, of Newcastle, paid $397.50 for a pair and Thomas S. Dixon got his selection for $447.50. But two cows were put up, one of which fell to C. D. Carmine, the Greensfork druggist, at $8S. The other cow brought $76. There are 225 head of hogs on the

Scott farm, all of which .were withdrawn from the sale, owing to sickness developing: in the herd. Just how serious this outbreak may prove cannot now be told, but it was thought best to hold them out of the sale. In the circumstances. A lot of implements were sold but none' of these brought fancy prices, the demand being particularly quiet at this time of year. Sale Totals$5,340. The holding out of the hogs and the retention of a lot of corn, to feed them, cut down the recipts of the sale materially. These were $5,340, and Mr. Steers, cashier of the Greensfork hank, estimates that a total of around $9,000 would have been netted had he hogs, corn and feed on hard been sold. Mr. Steers was clerk of the sale and Harry Gilbert, of the Second National, oT Richmond, made the settlements. The f-heets, however, were retained by the bank at Greensfork for the convenience of the buyers, most of whom resided in that section. Col. Tom Conniff was auctioneer of the day. '
