Farmers Urged to Observe

ftThe necessity of every farmer in Wayne county sowing wheat and rye after the "fly-free" date, that is after the danger of the Hessian Fly has passed, was emphasized today by County Agent Dolan. The fly free date for this county is Sept. 28 to Oct. 1. Under normal conditions damage from the fly in wheat and rye sown after this period is practically negligible, while that sown before this date has a much greater chance of being infested especially if fly was present in the crop harvested this year. The fly free date in Indiana ranges from Sept. 20 in the extreme northern section to Oct. 10 in the "Pocket" about Evansville. Reports from V. H. Larrimer, federal entomologist at Lafayette, and Prof. J. J. Davis, head of the entomology department of Purdue university, who have done a great deal of experimental work with the Hessian fly, show an average of 30 percent infestation over the state this year. The stubble now contains the fly in the flaxseed stage from which the flies will emerge this fall to attack the newly-sown wheat and rye. Fortunately more than half of these flaxseeds contain parasites which will destroy the fly, but even with these parasites there are enough flies to cause bad infestation and serious loss in next year's crop. Therefore, it is of great importance that no wheat be sown before the date set for this county, but as soon afterward as possible. The Hessian fly attacks both wheat and rye in the fall and barley in the spring. Wheat is much more susceptijble than rye, the latter crop rarely be ing uamagea to any extent. However, CULLING CAMPAIGN CLOSES IN PREBLE EATON, O., Sept. 5 The poultry culling campaign carried on by the Preble county Farm Bureau closed last week, a total of 24 demonstra tions having been held. The number of eggs received before culling from the whole flock, and the number obtained after culling from both the heps which were reelected and those which were retained, will be announced soon. Reports have been received from four flocks as follows: Mrs. L. D. Leas, Monroe township: Egg production before culling, 117; after culling, from 54 hens retained, 113 eggs; from 48 hens rejected, 14 eggs. Mr. Carl Ballmger, Dixon township: egg production before culling, 108; after culling, from 44 hens retained, 140 eggs; from 22 hens culled. 13 eggs. Mrs. Frank Williams, Gratis: Eggs week before culling, 182; after culling, from 50 hens retained, 130 eggs; 10 rejected hens, 18 eggs. Mrs Lorimer Charles: Eggs week before culling, 126; after culling, from 52 hens retained, 116 eggs; from IS hens rejected, no eggs. Preble County Farmers Purchase Selected Seed EATON, O., Sept. 5. Word received from the Delaware county agent that a car of seed wheat was loaded last Saturday, Sept. 3, for immediate shipment. Purchasers of this wheat will be notified when the car arrives. This seed wheat is certified and was purchased by the farm bureau for distribution among farmers of the county who are co-operating with the farm bureau's efforts to make Preble county a source of pure-bred seed. Some farmers in every part of the county have pledged themselves to sow only pure-bred, certified seed, and it is expected that enough will be available to supply the whole county next year. Portage and Trumbull are the most important varieties selected.

Fly Date in Sowing Wheat

like wheat it should not be sown until after the fly free date because of the danger of the flies living over In it and attacking wheat next spring. Complete information about the fly nnH hnw it wnrka ia rnnta inpi in Pircular 95 issued by the Agricultural ! Experiment Station of Purdue. Copies of the bulletin may be obtained either at the county agent's office or by writing'direct to the experiment station at Lafayette. 154 FARMERS JOIN PREBLE FARM BUREAU AS RESOLTOF DRIVE EATON, O., Sept. 5. A total of 154 new members for the farm bureau of Preble county has been secured by the efforts of the solicitors during the I first two weeks of the membership -drive. This will bring the county j membership well above a thousand i and several townships have not yet been visited. Under the direction of the county manager, Charles Ulrich, the solicitors are calling on every non-member in the county, and explaining the aims, purposes, and the accomplishments of the farm bureau. One difficulty found in "signing up new members lies in the fact that many are willing to ac cept the benefits without being mem bers, a thing which is possible now, but will be changed with the further development of co-operative enterprises, when only members of the bureau will be allowed to participate in benefits. Solicitors report most of those who are well informed concerning the farm bureau are easily induced to join. The number of new members in seven townships is: Somers, 29; Gratis. 27; Israel, 13; Dixon, 14; Gasper, 12; Lanier, 42; Washington, 17. , Farmers who were already members were signed up last year for a period of three years at a fee of $10, and this drive is for the purpose of including in the organization all who had not joined before. It is intended to make every farmer in the county a member. Farm Sale Calendar Tuesday, Sept. 6.

The Farm and The Farmer By WilKam R. Sanborn

That sudden death In the form of deadly gas may lie In wait In a partly filled llo will doubtless be a new idea to many of us, but the government has sent out a warning to that effect. It cites' the fact that two men died of this poison in a silo in Illinois, and that the farmer who went in to see what had happened was saved in the nick of time, but was a very sick man. The danger is greatest in tall silos that are not properly ventilated while being filled, and. which' have been standing partly filled over night, giving ample time for the gas to accumulate. This will do no harm if the blower is turned on for a few minutes in the morning before anyone enters the silo. That is all that is needed for safety. It . disperses the heavy gas by free J circulation of the air. We are calling attention to this important matter, fearing that the article printed elsewhere in this issue may be overlooked by some of you who are crowded for time. The O. A. Pierce farm in the Hagerstown district was sold at auction on Thursday, September 1. There are 108 acres .in the tract and the ' sale was made' to Ernest Sruggs at $82.50. Atbert Hindman, the auctioneer, says that Mr. Pierce purchased the property at public sale at $69 per acre "last spring." . Walter Hunnicut, of Clay township, says that there is quite an invasion of second crop chinch bugs, in spots, up his way. He says that where the bugs strike a field dmillet their pathway through or across is clearly defined. and at the green edges where they are feeding,- they may be scooped up in quarts. He cites just that kind of a scene coming under his own observa tion. A Franklin township farmer tells of the bugs traveling from one corn field to another, through a patch of millet. He savs that the strJP traversed looks as dead as if burned over. The rest of the millet is in fine condition. And this raises the question What are the bugs doing to the corn? That depends upon the age and condition of the corn when attacked. Some damage has unquestionably been done, but farmers In general do not seem worried about it- Most of them are claiming that their corn was too far along in mid-August to be greatly damaged. Many others have not made careful inspection and thus are unable to give the facts. Chinch Bugs in Sitage. A center township farmer finds several rows of corn on the side of the field nearest his silo badly infested with chinch bugs. As there are also more or less of these pests scattered over the field the question as to the effects of these bugs in silage came up. Will the cattle and hogs relish such silage? Will the bugs injure the silage, or the live stock, rather? As a matter of fact we have not vet located a farmer who has ever found the bug in his corn at silo filling time. One farmer says: "If you are filling a silo from a buggy field, early in the season, most of the bugs will probably be shaken to the ground in cutting the corn, and on to the wagon in the hauling, and the silage cutter will take care of a-lot more of them, if they get that far along. I guess it will be pretty hard to salt down many bugs in a silo, even at the worst, and we have so few of them, taken as a whole, that I don't think we need to worrv about them." Mr. Dru ley's Views. In a chat with Jesse .Druley the latter said: "I haven't noticed any bugs in our corn, nor any effect of their work. "My corn looks alright, though it may be that there are bugs .in it, as they seem to be rather widely scattered. As a matter of fact I never have seen chinch bugs in ripened corn, or at silo filling time. Don't believe you can pack enough chinch bugs into : a silo to hurt anything or to effect the silage. They are most likely to be shaken off and scattered in handling, I should judge." The First Colt Club. About a dozen Allen county youngsters have organized a colt club, the first in Indiana, and probably in the entire country. These boys are the sons of breeders of draft horses, there LARGE CROWD SEES FARM FLOCK CULLED GREENSFORK, Ind., Sept. 5. "The most successful poultry culling demonstration held yet." was County Agent J. L. Dolan's characterization of the Clay township demonstration on the 5 'farm of William C. Harris, north of here, Saturday morning. A large number, both of men and women, was present in spite ofc the early morning rain, and gave close which had to be held in the barn on which ha tod be held in the barn on account of the continued downpour: ' The attendance was about 60 and a nice flock of White Leghorns was available for the test. Results checked very close with the theoretical practice in this demonstration, the flock being ideal for a demonstration. The flock was the largest that has been culled, numbering 359, and U took a good part of the forenoon to complete the selection of hens and explanations to the spectators, the dem onstration starting early in the forenoon. Another culling demonstration ia planned for Clay township on the farm of L. E. Kinsey, a mile south of Green's Fork.

FARMERS ARE WARNED NOT TO ENTER SILOS i UNTIL BLOWER USED Fanners who own or are buying silog are warned not to enter the silos until the machine blower has been turned on, and has operated for at least two minutes. Unless this rule is followed, the result is likely to be dead men, warns the United States department of agriculture. Annually fatalities occur among the farmers and their helpers as a result of the workmen entering half-filled silos after the deadly carbon monoxide gases have had a chance to accumulate directly above the freshly ensiled corn. A few days ago two Illinois fanners were killed and another was rendered seriously sick by silo gases which are almost as dangerous as the poisonous mustard gases used during the recent war. In this instance, one of the fann workmen entered av50-foot silo which had bean half filled" the previous day. Some time elapsed and when he .did not come out, another of the hands ascended into the buo. Neither reappeared, though the other workers shouted to them repeatedly' to come down. Save "One Life. Fearing an accident, the farm owner finally climbed into the silo. He also was immediately overcome by the poisonous fumes and only the fact that others followed him, forced open the extra silo doors and carried him into the open air saved his life. The two other men were suffocated immediately.. Each year, a number of accidents of this kind occurj due largely to carelessness and ignorance of the proper methods of eradicating the dangerous gases. The preventive measures are simple and efficient and, where they are followed, there is no danger. No workman should ever enter a partly filled silo, after the ensiled corn has had an opportunity to . develop poisonous carbon monoxide gases overnight, until the machine blower has been started. The fresh air dilutes and scatters the obnoxious gases to the extent that they are rendered harmless. After the blower has been operated for two minutes, it is perfectly safe for the workmen to enter r Another precaution which should be practiced religiously is not to wedge the silo doors into plans until they are i needed to prevent the waste of the ensiled corn. Many farmers follow the practice of placing most of the doors before any great amount of corn.ia cut and deposited in the silo. This prevents free circulation of air through the silo which, in turn, operates to favor the accumulation of carbon monoxide and other deadly silo gases. being a number of such breeders in Allen county. The colts were selected last spring and are to be shown at the Huntertown fair this fall, the association having put up $200 for prizes in ! the colt rin&- County Agent W. Showalter, and R. B. Cooley, of Purdue, are largely responsible for this club. -Indiana State Fair Opens. Well, the Indiana staw fair is wide open today and will be until Saturday evening. If it didn't open on Labor Day morning in a blaze of glory, it did open in the presence of a whole lot pt people, many of whom were early on the grounds to make a day of it. It being a city holiday many townfolk passed the turnstiles during the forenoon. The various evening amusement attractions will insure the presence of city crowds at the night shows, which the ruralist will also enjoy when convenient to stay over. The arrangements to feed all visitI ors will make it needless to fry and". Dake at Home, or to carry a large tonnage of food for the family, as was the custom in early days, and which many farmwives will always follow. There is an immense caffteria in the Women's building where there is plenty of well-cooked food at reasonable prices, also numerous other places to dine, on the grounds. . Farm Credits Imperative. Sidney Anderson, chairman of the joint committee of agricultural inquiry, says: "There is immediate, imperative and conclusive necessity of setting up permanent machinery to furnish credit for farmers' production and marketing purposes, running from six months to three years, to fill the gap between short-time credit furnished by the national and state bank systems and the long-time credit furnished by these systems, farm mortgage institutions' and the federal farm loan system." Mr. Anderson said further that this credit must be of such character "asto conform to the farmers' turnover and of sufficient flexibility to meet the varied requirements of different localities and different commodities. Itmust be extended for a time sufficient' to enable payment to be made out of" the - earnings of th3 farmer" without frequent renewals, which add to the expense of the borrower in fees and commissions." Milling at Home. In modern milling over 70 per cent; of the wheat is recovered as standard patent flour, about 1 per cent as low- ; grade flour, about 2 per cent as RedDog flour, and the remainder as shorts or bran. - This shows why It Is important for us to ship flour rather than wheat. In:. the first place we employ more domes- ' tic labor and circulate the most money" at home. Secondly, we have the by-" products for feeding uses on our farms in much larger supply, and at lower prices than would be possible if Our " total supply of flour by-products c?.r?s ' only from the flour consumed in this' country.
