Although there was a pretty fair crowd at the Crowe-Mercer sale on the William Crowe farm, three and one,half miles northeast of Centerville, on Thursday, and some good buyers, no outside prices were realized. Many of the best known men usually in attendance at such sales were absent, were perhaps, attending the Chautauqua, putting in "Big Thurs day" at the Greenville fair, or may hap enjoying the free fair at Connersville. The outside attractions were many and the day delightful for family driving. Had it been a cool, rainy day, no doubt a much larger assemblage would have ben present at th sale. As it was a whole lot of folks were on hand, but there was no urgent buying to force up prices. The sale was a dissolution and settenant, having decided to wind up. Frank Moore, residing west of Abington, has leased the acreage and will take possession a little later. Mr. Moore was a free buyer, and could afford to pay more money, perhaps, not having to move the stuff, and frequently bid the high dollar. Sale Totals $4,670. Francis McMinn, of the Dickinson Trust and Savings, made the settlements, and gives the net of the sale at $4,670. Olie Long and son. and Dan Kitchell. of Boston township, were among the heaviest buyers of cattle and hogs, and Walt. Farlow picked up a few that suited his taste. Seventeen acres of standing corn were put up, and sold at $20 for top and the choice section of the field. About ten tons of timothy in the barn brought a little less than $100, or as one man remarked, less money than it cost to put it into the mow. The attractions at the sale were a large bunch of dairy cows, consisting of 21 Holsteins and three Jerseys; also 115 head of hogs. More than half the hogs were spring pigs, and all were in demand at as good prices as the general hog situation warrants. A lot of implements were sold, but no household goods were auctioned. One acre of fall potatoes went .t $18, the buyer taking the chance that they were all tops, this not being a potato year. Omar Coffman assisted Mr. McMinn in making the settlements and John Healey, of the American Trust, acted as field clerk. Weddle and Hindman. the auctioneers, put in a busy day, beginning at 10 o'clock. The ladies ot the church at Webster served a satisfying lunch, and were well patronized.

GOOD ROADS MEETING PLANNED BY LUELLEN OF FAYETTE COUNTY
(Special to The Palladium.) CONNERSVILLE, Ind.. Aug. 26. A good roads meeting for Fayette county is planned by Charles Luellen, county road superintendent. All citizens of the county will be invited, with a special invitation for the farmers to attend. A number of speakers of state-wide prominence in road building will be asked to talk, and there will be a discussion of local road problems also. In addition to the program mentioned above, it is expected to make this meeting somthing in the nature of a social occasion. Plans and the date will be announced later. KEEP SMALL GRAIN DESPITE CHINCH BUG, ADVICE FROM PURDUE LAFAYETTE, Ind , Aug. 26. Farmers whose corn was infested with chinch bugs during the outbreaks last summer are urged not to keep from sowing wheat and rye this fall in or- j der to avoid damage next year, in a statement issued today by the agri cultural experiment station. The statement was made in response to a number of ' inquiries coming in from throughout the state, many men thinking to lessen the bug menace next year by eliminating small grain crops, the hatching place for chinch bugs. "We believe that it is not advisable to discontinue growing wheat, barley and rye because it is difficult to te cure universal adoption of the place, and unless universally adopted it probably would give only mediocre results," reads the document. "Furthermore, this would result in a recreased acreage of clover which of course, is not at all advisable. Advise Against Spring Wheat. Sowing of oats next spring in corn stubble which is badly infested will do, as this crop usually is not up high enough to make it atractive as a place for laying eggs, when this period comes for the chinch bug. Sowing of spring wheat is not advised under any circumstances. The chinch bug outbreak was bad in most of the counties over the state this year, and the farmers are evincing great interest in the fight against it. Farm Sale Calendar Tuesday, Aug. 30. Mrs. L.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
It has become the fashion to cull farm poultry flocks, so much so, indeed, that these cullings have become the occasion of quite large gatherings, a combination of business and sociability in the neighborhoods where the weeding out of the slacker biddies is done. Every Mrs. Farmer knows that for some unknown or unjustifiable reason she can count more hens than eggs at the sunset of every summer day. After an eager quest for eggs she frequently discovers that the output for the day has been but one egg per five or six hens. So far as she can discover al her hens are eating all the feed they need. They have plenty of range, comfortable perches and downy nests. WTiat is the matter? She wants to know all about it? Well, Mrs. Farmer, there are men at Purdue university who are paid comfortable salaries for being aDle to answer your questions. These men realize the importance of every hen doing her share toward feeding the world, either in the form of egg.?, roasts or potpies. This is a wise conclusion. Wayne County Cullings. Wayne county poultry cullings are becoming numerous, or more so. There are a multitude of drones in bee swarms and slackers in poultry flocks.. Let the drones go their way; they are on business, but get after your slacker hens. Convert them into cash quickly and stop wasting feed. Among the "cullings" listed by County Agent Dolan, beginning Aug. 24, are the following: Earl Wright, north of Fountain City, Wednesday morning at nine. Quite a number were present. Culings for Friday, Aug. 26, are: Nine o'clock, at Frank Branley's barn, one mile north of Boston, on the Boston pike; Friday afternoon, at Ray Stauffer's place, two miles south of Centerville, at 1:30. On Tuesday, Aug. 30, cullings will be pulled off at A. L. Baldwin's farm, one half mile north and one mile west of Webster, at nine o'clock. During the afternoon of Tuesday, a culling demonstration will be given by Mr. Dolan on Arthur Curme's poultry flock at Reidston, on the National road, west of Richmond. Limits Salaries to $5,000 Farmers generally will concur In the iudement of congress, both houses of which voted to place a limit of $5,000 Der vear on salaries to be paid men employed In the regulation of the meat nackms industry. All sucn employes get traveling expenses, etc., and a whole lot of the men who will apply for such positions would have a hard time making that much money if turned loose in any city, big or little, in America. Secretary Wallace had asked authority to pay the chief administrator $6,500 per year, hence the above action. If the genial secretary, who is editor of an Iowa farm paper, will stop and cudgel his brain long enough to recall ten farmer in ten states who made $6,500 each during the past two years, he will have little time to do anything else for the next 10 months. Senator Kenyon of Iowa declared that this $5,000 limit would prevent obtaining capable men. The senator sould reconsider; it is time we were getting back to normal. Farm Bureau Salaries Some of these days in the near fu ture we shall probably find farm bureau members limiting sizes of salaries to be paid our state farm bureau officials, not only in Indiana, but In several states. The figures are most; surprising, and surely the work isn't! arduous. The handling of the farm j bureau business is a simple, everyday j matter. There is nothing whatever, profound or scientific about it. No life of study is needed to prepare for these duties. Farmers Not Miserly The farmers who work so mighty hard for so very little 'are perfectly willing that the men who transact business for them shall be liberally 6,000 Mile TIRES 30x3 SIO.50 30x3 $11.95 Wm.

1921 BY paid. This, however, doesn't mean $40 to over $50 per day for secretaries, men who flit here and there a large part of the time, with all expenses paid, in addition to their exorbitant salaries. Are we joking? No, indeed; this is no joking matter, with farm produce selling at a loss. You are correct; there are numerous other officials, large office staffs, marketing boards, etc., and these must all be paid according to their importance to the organization. Secretaries are not the only blue ribbon men on the various state farm bureau pay rolls.
These salaries vary, of course, in the jday catUei sneep and horses being different states, depending on theiawarded premiums. Premiums had
number of members and other govern ing circumstances, including common sense. American Cows in Bavaria. A cable from Berlin states that the American milk cows which have been distributed through Bavaria are declared to be better milkers than the German blood. The Bavarian farmers express astonishment that the American cows give about 20 quarters of milk daily after their first calf, which is double the "yield of the German cows." Has Voted For 19 Presidents. A day or two ago we mentioned a southern Ohio farm bureau member who had celebrated his one-hundredth birthday last April. Strange to state tnis centenarian, C. T. Templeton.l still lives on the farm on which he was born and takes, so it is claimed, a lively interest in the farm work and crops. He has lived to vote at 19 presidential elections. He lives in Lawrence county. If any farm bureau in the country has an older member, county agent. George A. Dustman, of Ironton, O., would like to learn of it. Farmers to Donate Grain. All the grain farmers of America are to be asked to donate grain for the destitute and suffering people in Bible lands. This grain, after milling in this country, will go principally to the near-east relief bodies in the Russian Caucasus and to the starving orphans of Armenia. At a meeting in the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, this week, President Christie of Purdue, presiding, it was stated that the farmers of 22 grain states are to be asked to donate 5.000,ooo bushels of wheat and corn. Prof. Christie will have charge of this appeal work in Indiana, the state's quota being 37 cars of wheat and 125 cars of corn. Everett McClure pledged the support of the Indiana State eranze. Prof. Christie read a cablegram from Albert A. Johnson, who is now in Armenia, telling of the great need for food and the distress of the orphans. He said, too, that while our farmers are facing great difficulties, that he felt assured Indiana would donate her quota of grain. It is planned to gather the grain in September and October. It is expected that railroads will move this grain free of cost and that elevators and mills will make no charge for their services, in the main.

Benches afforded resting places beneath the overhanging roof outside the building, while chairs and tables are set inside also. Many members of the federation, including the women and children, may be seen here at all hours. The state health exhibit also is housed beneath this roof.
