SOUTHERN INDIANA FARM SETS RECORD IN PLANTS PER ACRE

(By Associated Press) PRINCETON, Ind., May 30. More than a million plants to the acre are grown on Wilder Ritterskamp's eightacre farm, known as the Muck3, near this city. His is the "baby plant" farm, for on his eight acres he says he has 10,000,000 cabbage and tomato plants, which after getting their start on the Mucks are sold and transplanted by farmers for later use at the canning factories. Many of the tiny plants are shipped to northern Indiana. The Mucks is a peculiar lot of earth, made so both by nature and by man. Though in the center of sand hills, the eight acres have little appearance or sand oil. The Mucks soil is black as coal, and powders easily, and is said to be warmer than other soil about here. Apparently, the latter claim is true, for before other farmers begin planting, the Mucks has plants well above the ground. Guard Against Cold. Danger, however, lies in the spring freezes, but to guard against the cold Mr. Ritterskamp has provided an overhead pipe-line system which may be turned on is the weather gets too cold. The water, warmer than the chilly air and winds, falls to the ground and takes up the cold. This system is claimed by Edward Smith, farm manager, as more effective than snudge fire. The "farm" lies in a hollow, and presents queer view from the approaching highway In straight rows ; the little plants are fighting their way ; ! 1 - to sunshine and life. Above them towers a series of poles, supporting the overhead sprinkling system. Sprayers also form a part of the overhead, cover ing every inch of the farm. j Irrigation also is supplied by a well, its water supply however being increased from a drainage ditch at one side of the farm, Mr. Ritterskamp rigged up a pump which is operated by the engine of an old automobile. New Plan Rushes Plants. In addition of the rows plan, a new project was attempted this year. Cantaloupe seed were planted on a sandy hill just above the black ground, and three-cornered pieces of glass were placed over them. Heat generated by the sun rushed the plants along and they are now above the ground. The farm gets its name from the nature of the soil. The powdery black muck is about two feet deep, next a heavier layer of muck four feet in thickness, then three feet of peat, resting on a layer of clay. Originally, the Mucks was an intensive farming truck garden project, and at one time four different crops were planted on one acre, the earlier crops being out of the way before the slower growing ones demanded more space. Later, Mr. Ritterskamp acquirred the property and made it the "baby plant" farm. Soon the transplanting of the baby plant will be underway, with almost a hundred man and boys being hired to prepare the shipping crates. Suburban MIDDLEBORO. Ind. Mr. and Mrs. T. J.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The most strenuous advocates of the emergency tariff are doubtful that it will confer any real benefit on the farmer. What may result from the permanent tariff after getting into action, is another matter. The farmer has thus far received no actual relief from the present congress. It revived the War Finance corporation, at the request of those who believed that this corporation could be of real service, but outside of the cotton growers who have received a slight benefit the fanners have not benefitted at all, to date. What is known as the farmer vote in both houses has been recently organized, consisting of 20 senators and about 100 representatives These may be counted on to shape rural legislation in the interest of the agriculturist as circumstances may seem to warrant and opportunity presents. The real need of the country is an export outlet, not only for grain and meats, but for many things. Our surplus foods are needed badly over seas, but the problem of those who would buy relates to the payment of the bills. It is an involved situation which the best minds of the country are trying to clarify. Vegetable Growers Organize. The Indiana State Vegetable Growers' association now numbers 400 members. It will put on a potato show at Purdue at their annual meet ing next winter, during the holding of the farmers' short course, when $600 in premiums will be offered. The association also plans to sent a representative to the joint meeting of the Farm Bureau Federation an-i the National Vegetable Growers' association to be held soon in Chicago, where means of bettering the vegeI table industry will be discussed. Literature on up-to-date methods or pest control is also being sent to members of the association. These, with additional activities, will be con tinued and enlarged as the association membership increases. . . . . Care of Farm Machinery. A rural editor says: "A farmer who does not love his machinery never ought to have any. He ought to be compelled to do his plowing with a crooked stick and to brush in his grain with the top of a tree, because he will let his tools rot and rust in the fence corner and laugh at you when you tell him there is a better way. Love takes care of the plows and the binders and the threshing machines. Nothing else will." Cigar Leaf Situation There is still considerable 1919 tobacco in Preble county, not in the hands of the growers, but in the warehouses. Take the warehouses at Ve rona, Ohio, a little country village for example. The Farmers' warehouse at Verona is reported to have a few cases of 1918 and considerable 1919 tobacco still on hand. The manager of the Smith Bros. Warehouse says they have 230 cases of 1919 leaf in stock, some of which they have been -holding over a year, but the bulk of it, 200 cases, was bought last fall. He claims better smoking quality for the 1920 leaf but says that there is considerable black rot in the last crop. J. A. Smalley, manager of the Verona branch of the American Sumatra Packing company, tells us that he has 125 cases of 1919 in the house, held for a Pennsylvania buyer until he orders shipment. This house also holds 525 cases of 1920 leaf. The fact that buyers are now offering so little money in the Verona district is discouraging to growers, whose seed beds indicate an almost normal acreage this season.

1 prices do not affect the tobacco growers, however, as they are pretty well marketed. Warehouse owners who are speculative buyers, and who are still holding a lot of their own leaf, are the sufferers at this time. Both the growing and marketing of tobacco are speculating propositions. Sometimes buyers who hold on nke a pot of money, and again they lose out. To Preserve Eggs If you haven't thus far preserved eggs for a future egg-hungry day. you can't begin too soon. ' The best authorities tell us that water glass is the thing for this purpose, can be had at drug stores and is inexpensive. Don't preserve eggs that are more than a week old and the "fresher the better. You can store in a stone jar. a wooden keg or in glass. If you have clear rain water use it. Hard water; should never be used. Boil your water, allow it to cool, then add one part of the glass to nine parts of water, by measurement and beat the mixture thoroughly with a wooden paddle. The solution must cover the eggs completely and the jar should be covered closely to prevent evaporation. Water may be added as needed from time to time, to keep the eggs covered. Eggs so treated may be sold later at better than going prices, also enjoyed at home, that in particular being, the object of keeping them. The Panama Canal The middle west farmer is warned that to allow all American 6hips to use the Panama canal, free of tolls, is to compete with the products of the Mississippi valley from the gulf to Canada. To illustrate: The California Fruit Growers Exchange and the Northwestern Apple Growers association have pledged 8.000 carloads of fruit for transportation through the canal. In this connection the Chicago Tribune, says: "It is high time middle western producers were realizing this danger and translating their realization into a protest which will make itself felt in Washington. It Is true that the United States built the canal, but it Is also true that the government should not take money from middle western farmers, who helped build the canal, and hand it to shipping interests and producers on the two coasts. "The way to make money out of the canal is to collect tolls, not to eliminate them. If middle western producers submit quietly to having the tolls eliminated they are likely to have the profits of their farms eliminated at the same time." It must also be remembered that if tolls are not collected to pay the expenses of the canal zone the enterprize must be supported by federal Keeps New Roofs NEW

Liquid Roof Cement

A building without a good, weather-resisting roof is nothing more than a collection of walls. The roof is the cover-all the most essential part of the building. Science has not been able to give us a roof that will stand for lon the action of the elements, the ravages of rain and sun, sleet, snow and wind. The roof itself must be protected. MAftVELSEAL is used on roofs of all kinds of buildings, large or small, including houses, barns, granaries, silos, factories, office buildings, warehouses, hotels, theatres, garages, schools, hospitals and public halls. A coat of MARVELSEAL Liquid Roof Cement weather-proofs the roof and at the same time preserves it. A new roof Marvelseal-ed will last as long as the building. To protect and preserve a new roof, a coat of MARVELSEAL should be applied as soon as the roof is finished before the weather has a chance at it. The coating need only be renewed once every ten years. MARVELSEAL is inexpensive and can be applied by anyone with perfect results. It saves the expense of frequent repairs. It saves the roof. MARVELSEAL Will Save the Old Roof MARVELSEAL will add years more of service to leaky, weatherbeaten roofs. It stops small hard-to-find leaks. It seals small holes and cracks, open joints and seams. It 6tops corrosion of metals. A single application will do it applied by anyone. For All Kinds of Roofs MARVELSEAL has the same protective and preservative qualities on all kinds of roofs and roofing materials, including metal, composition, shingle, concrete, canvas and gravel roofs. It works into pores and cavities and adheres firmly to the entire roof surface, providing a tough, durable and weather-proof coating. Weatherproof and Fire-Resisting MARVELSEAL is fire-resisting. Falling sparks or firebrands win not so much as scorch a Marvelseal-ed roof. Its asbestos bass cannot burn. Ask Us for Further Particulars Hackman, Klehfoth & Co.

Galbraith, Jr., National commander, The American Legion, today issued the following proclamation to the legion members. "Today a mighty nation bows its head in memory of the men who have died that the nation might live men of Bunker Hill, of Gettysburg, of Santiago and of the Argonne.

For these men were our comrades in arras, linked to us by the strongest of ties. "We shall visit every grave today, at home and abroad, and shall speak words of comfort to the dear ones who mourn. But we shall not only give, we shall receive. For, as we stand at their graves today, our comrades will speak to us. They will remind U3 of the dangers that beset our beloved land, of the enemies, within and without; of the long fight that mast be waged. The voice of our comrades comes to us. like a call to arms: 'Fight on, fight on, it urges us." COMMUNISM BANKRUPT SAYS MOSCOW REPORT RIGA, May 30.
