COMPLETE TREATMENT EXPERIMENTAL PLOTS AT EASTHAVEN FARMS
With the assistance of an employe and two patients, the county agent, J. L. Dolan, Friday completed treatment of experimental plots at the Eaetharen farms. Fertilizers are being compared .on three one acre plots with two untreated plots reserved aa checks. On one plot 250 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate ' was spread; on another 88 pounds of the 45 per cent "Anaconda;"' and on the third, 200 pounds of 1-8-3 complete fertilizer.
The tests that are being run are in !
response to a desire shown by Wayne lownship farmers for definite information on the relative benefits of fertilizers. The complete fertilizer is being compared with the simple acid phosphate, and the 16 per cent acid phosphate with the 45 per cent -treble phosphate" applied one-third as heavily. . Good Ground. The field, of which a part was offered for the experimental plots by D. W. Foott, Easthaven farm manager, is in fscellent cultivation, according to Dolan, and should be capable under proper conditions, of growing a good rop. Corn will be grown this year, and wheat drilled in this fall. All corn will be carefully weighed when harvested, and the yields of the plots compared. The plots are located near the road north of the infirmary buildings, where they may be seen easily. They lie east and west, in the corner formed by the road and the lane running north from the buildings. The first plot is a check plot, and lies along the road. The others are south of it, and run weist from the lane. Each is one acre in size. The second plot south, has the 1C per cent acid phosphate treatment; 1he third, the S8 pounds of the 'superphosphate"; the fourth is a check plot; and the fifth has the "complete" fertilizer.
The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
Among the improvements being made on the Gaar farm north of town is a drainage ditch which has its outlet along the east side of the Gaar road. This ditch is ten feet deep at the crest of the hill. A trip by way of New Paris. Braf-
BOYS STEAL AUTO; SENT TO PENAL FARM Hay and William Hahn and Charles Devcrs pleaded guilty to having stolen an automobile belonging to Thomas Turner on April 26, when they were arraigned before Judge Bond in Wayne circuit court Saturday afternoon. The boys were sentenced to serve a term of from one to 14 years at Jeffersonville. Judge Bond suspended the sentence of Charles Devers because of the dependency of his mother and his good reputation. A .sentence of 90 days at the penal farm was substituted by Judge Bond for the youthful Hahn boys who will be required to serve this sentence. Robert Columbus Davis was sentpnced tn 90 days at the nenal farm

Palestine pike, on Friday, showed that
while considerable plowing remains to be done that a few farmers have planted a little corn on well drained soil. There are some very promising fields of wheat and a lot of good clov er to be seen in the territory covered. One of the sights worth mentioning was 25 head of high class purebred Jerseys almost' knee-deep in clover on the Sunnybrae farm two miles west of New Madison, in Darke county. C. It.. Smelker, owner, has fifty head of these fine cattle on the place, not all of which were in the clover field referred to. Farmer Holding Two Crops "We are grinding a lot of feed for a farmer." said John W. Noakes. of the New Paris Equity elevator, when we dropped in on him Friday and heard the wheels going 'round. John said they had managed to buy a few cars of wheat and had found Cleveland a pretty fair market. He cited an instance where he had shipped a car of wheat to Cleveland, which he had tested as No. 2 and which the Cleveland concern had graded as No. 1 and paid him accordingly. Mr. Noakes tells of a farmer living east of New Westville who is still holding his 1919 wheat crop, also that of 1920. Favors" Board of Trade Not all farmers are agreed that boards of trade should be put our of business. W. J. Lenz of Iowa City says that a few years ago the Iowa legislature tried to regulate the exchanges doing business in Iowa out of business, "but farmers and ship
pers wouldn't stand for it." In continuing Mr. Lenz says he is "not in favor of destroying the grain exchanges and substituting . a system with such men at its head as those who told us last fall to hold our wheat
for S3 and our corn, for 81.50 per
fetsville and along the New Paris andi bushel, regardless of the law of sup-
LOT LEE ADDRESSES -RICHMOND TEACHERS
Newspapers and their educational value in the community was the iheme discussed before the City Teachers' Institute at the high school auditorium Saturday by Lot Lee, telegraph editor of the Indianapolis News. Beginning wit h - the gathering of news; the channels through which the news travels before printing; and ending with the finished product in the hands Of the individual for perusal, Mr. Lee described the activities of the modern newspaper.
Character was emphasized by the j
speaker. He declared that people have no reason for discrediting the news of a paper, as a paper with character is as jealous of its reputation and community standing as is any individual.
Hold Local Man on Bogus Check Charge Omer S. Clark, 29 North Nineteenth street, was arrested Friday evening by police officers charged with issuing fraudulent checks. He was bound over to circuit court Saturday morning. Clark passed a check for $10 on the
Denny and Son grocery, .1807 North E
street, Thursday afternoon. Several other checks were being turned in to Prosecutor Beckett Saturday morning from other firms in the city. This is the second time Clark has been indicted for issuing fraudulent checks, having served a term in the penitentiary in 1918 for the same offense.
ORIGINALITY, NEATNESS SHOWN IN EXHIBITS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
Art of a variety and execution un-j
usual in exhibits by public school children will be seen in the Public Art gallery when the exhibition of work done by children of local schools,
from the first grade to the last year!
in high school, inclusive, opens Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 5 o'clock. Cleverness, originality, neatness and astonishing color effects characterize much of the work. Wooden toys, made and painted by pupils; beads, tiles, woven work, sewing, lamp shades, tooled leather and stencil handiwork are among the things on exhibit in cases. Application of art in illustrating various phases in geography and other studies is shown in much of the grade work. House planning, interior and exterior, and decorating, form a interesting part of high school and Garfield exhibits. Includes Other Work Posters, designs, pastel sketches and dress designs are also included in the work of high school and junior high school students, done under the supervision of Miss Nellie Mawhood and Francis Brown at Junior high, and Miss Blanche Wait and Francis Brown at high school. Work in the gTade schools has been directed by the teachers in each school. Supervision in the making of wooden toys has been given by Miss Josephine Buhl. Grade work includes several hundred pieces of work in pencil, crayon, pastel and water color. The exhibit will be open every day in the week except Saturdays and parents and friends of students, as well as anyone else interested is cordially invited to visit the galleries. Daily entertainments by children of the schools will "be given as an added feature. Monday at 2:30 o'clock the first grades from Warner, Baxter, Joseph Moore and Starr schools will entertain with a
program, as toiiows: Warner "Daisy Song", by Nina Derego. Stella May Godsey, Lucile Ray. Thomas Bradfield, Ross Kinert and Kenneth Cortz. Baxter Group of Flower songs. Joseph Moore Song by all the children. Starr IB Recitation. 1A Little play, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
ply and demand."
"It would sound just as reasonable to accuse the present administration as it would the board of trade or grain exchanges for being responsible for our present general deflated markets," he said. J. O. Armour's Views. J. Ogden Armour tells us that "the wholesale price of meat, is too low." He insists that the live stock raiser must get a fair return on his labor and investment; to which everybody agrees Asked whether the retail price of meat had been reduced in proportion to the cut in wholesale co.t, he said: "Don't ask me that question? Use your own judgment." With reference to railroad rates he states that "with all other conditions as they are, rates cannot come down until wages are adjusted." Oklahoma Wheat Damaged. It is now said that the reports of
damage to Oklahoma wheat are being confirmed. The statements by crop reporting experts are being backed up by cancellation of harvesting and threshing machinery orders, according to some of the manufacturers. A part of the southwest has had insufficient rain, and when showers were reporLed in Oklahoma a few days ago, wheat futures broke on the Chicago exchange. Reports from the northwest are favorable to a large crop of spring wheat. All sheep markets are firmer and lambs have advanced $1 to $1.50 within ten days. California spring lambs are bringing up to $13.50 at Chicago. Butter, Cheese and Eggs The poor "downtrodden" farmer, who has felt too poor to buy a pound of cheese since the fight at Vimy Ridge, should consult some progressive grocer. Cheese is cheaper, much cheaper in a wholesale way, and there seems to be plenty of it. Choice Wisconsin flats are selling at 15 cents per pound at the factories and at 15 by Chicago wholesale grocers. And "flats" are the highest in the present list; brick cheese is costing retailers 12 to 13 cents. Certainly, yes indeed, there is always the freight charge, but that doesn't run into much money on a box or two of cheese.
