The farmers of Wayne county might
well emulate the action of the Benton
county farm bureau. They are anxious
to banish animal tuberculosis from their herds, and are arranging for a
series of townshiD meetings as an
introduction to that campaign. The county has 10,000 beef cattle, 5,800 dairy cattle, 32.000 hogs and 122,000 poultry. The annual Farm Bureau picnic will be held at Fowler, Ind.. September 21. with a stock show as the leading feature. The importance of banishing tuberculosis cattle, and especially milch cows, cannot be overestimated. Both the state and national governments will lend assistance in this work, wherever called upon. The Delaware county farm bureau has set Wednesday, August 31, as farm picnic day, and the gathering will be
held on the fair grounds at Muncie.!
Addresses by some of the most prominent speakers in Indiana is promised. This is all right in a way, but just as too many cooks will spoil the broth, so, too, will too many speakers spoil a picnic. There is a happy medium to be observed when folks are out for a play spell, and to meet and chat, shake hands and have a good time. His Twenty-Minute Talk. Once upon a time we recall that right here in Wayne a member of the Indiana State marketing committee delivered an address on grain marketing at one of our township meetings.

TWO RICHMOND MEN ROBBED AT FREE FAIR
COXNERSVILLE. Ind.. Aug. 27
Pickpockets, three in number, working the old time "wedge" game on their victims, relieved two Richmond men at the Free Fair Thursday of an aggregate sum of $32.75 and negotiable paper valued at. more than $100. The men gave their names as O. G. Mitchell, salesman of the Richmond Candy company of Richmond, and
J. E. Stout, 203 South Eighth street, Richmond. Mitchell lost a purse containing $30 in five-dollar bills, together with several checks calling for about $125, as near as he could estimate. Stout had only $2.75 in one pocket which was taken. A sum in a purse was overlooked. Crooks Are Shadowed The three men who were operating directly in front of the north entrance to the race track amphitheatre and a short distance to the north where the drinking fountains are located were under surveillance by Sheriff Steele, Chief of Police Koch and Officer Tritschler. According to Mitchell's story, the
three crowded him, one on each side and the third to his back. By jamming in the throng of people, one of the trio slipped the purse from his pocket and the gang then scattered. When seen again, the three were
standing along the hill north of the amphitheatre, but by the time Mitchell had informed the officers they had disappeared and- further efforts to gain trace of them were futile.

Shorthill. secretary of the Nebraska State Farmers' association, is given to plain speaking, as witness this excerpt from his speech at the annual meeting: "So many farmers think that their great handicap is due to a combination of things, that others have done to the business of farming. That isn't it at all. The real handicap is due to a combination of things that farmers have failed to do for the business of
farming. This is peculiarly true of farm marketng. You raise a crop and the minute you don't want it, you want s-ome one else to want it, and if they don't want it, you don't know what to do with it. Even in the case of wheat, you have not enough granary room on your farms to store a normal crop until others do want it. And so you want others to hold it until consumers want
it, and then you blame the holders for
speculating on your wheat. That's about the extent of your marketing
system for wheat, and the greater part
of the blame is yours." When Farmers Buy Coal. Some of the elevators at western points are making It as easy as possi

A tomato breeding experiment has been conducted for four years, with the view of Improving the tomato canning crop, both in quality and quantity. These plants were forced in hot houses, seed being sown on March 16. They were then transplanted in fourinch pots, and transferred to the field on May 17.

POLO PLAYING AUTO RUNS AMUCK AT FAIR; DRIVER CATCHES CAR
CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 27. A baby show, an essay contest between
members of me cluo round-up at Purdue a year ago, auto polo games, a grand livestock parade and awarding of prizes in the pig feeding contest, all contributed interest to the nineteenth Connersville fair, which closed Friday. Exhibit of displays shown in the township booths will be made at the Indiana State Fair, it was announced Friday. Selection of the best of the displays will be made for exhibition at a county display on the state fair grounds. A committee has been appointed to manage the display. Hospital is Provided.
An emergency hospital was provided as usual this year, and physicians and nurses were on duty each day of the fair. The hospital was located just south of the Midway. There was prospect of many cases for the hospital when an auto in the polo game got away from its driver after throwing him out, and darted across the road towards the crowd gathered at the side of the amphitheatre. It happened to swerve, however, and ran past its driver again, who jumped into the seat and brought it under control. Paul Ferris, of Bentonville, was given first prize on a gelding over one year and under two. Two mules owned by Clarke Faucett, of Wayne County, were awarded first and second
prize for being the best team over two years and under three. A mule belonging to Mr. Faucett also took second prize in the three year old and over class of mules in harness.

If farmers had not progressed or advanced, where would be the need
of an agricultural school, or of

I wonder what kind of a position Mr.

EARLY FROST MAY DAMAGE OHIO CORN
COLUMBUS, O.. Aug. 27. The corn crop in the eastern and east central counties of the state will be better than 90 per cent of a normal crop, according to present indications. The crop in some sections is late and, hence, subject to early frost, according to reports received from correspondents by C. J. West, agricultural statistician. In the western and south'Westem counties considerable improvement is noticeable over the condition of a few weeks ago, but the condition ranges from 65 to 85 per cent as compared with a condition considerably higher in the eastern half of the state. Late potatoes are in a healthy and vigorous condition and were it not for the poor stand in many fields an average crop would follow, from present
I indications. Like the corn, late pota
toes win do suDject to damage from early frosts this year.
