LATE WHEAT SOWING ADVISED TO PROTECT CROP FROM INSECTS U1XCHESTER. Ind.. Sept. 6. The following statement Is Issued this week by the agricultural agent of Randolph couutv:

The Hessian fly Is the most destructive insect pest of wheat in Indiana. It probably will be injurious to wheat this year as it was last. D not sow before the fly free date, which in this section is September 25. at the earliest. Your community should co-operate in late sowing. Sowing late ou your farm will not help much if your neighbors sow early. In sections where chinch bugs were injurious this year, all fence rowj should be burned, but not till winter. No weeds or trash should be left on top of the ground that can be plowed under. It is in these places that chinch bugs live over winter. Take every precaution to control this pest. Recommends Fertilizer. The use of a complete fertilizer for wheat is recommended and about 200 pounds per acre of something like 2-12-4 formula may be used to good advantage. Acid phosphate is being used with profit on many soils and is recommended. A portion of the elements of plant food required and used in largest quantities will be available and will insure a full development of

the crop. Good clean seed wheat Is necessary

for the best crop. If possible sow a standard variety, like Michigan Amber, Harvest King, Poole, Rudy, Red Chf.ff, Pultz. Red Rock or Turkey Red, wlh have demonstrated their high yielding ability and have practically a uniform milling quality and are acceptable to millers of Indiana A list of inspected and certified peeds of the above varieties can be obtained from your county agent or 'the Purdue experiment station. If you can not purchase new seed, fan what you have well to get the clean, plump Eeeds, screening out all cockle chess or other weeds. Do not use seed that lias any amount or rye in it as this -mixture lowers the milling qualities and consequently the price. Standard, good milling, clean varieties of wheat planted on gTound well fertilized at itho proper time should give a profitable crop the coming year. HOGS STAR OFFERINGS

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The American farmer, regardless of the effect that this bit of news will have upon our wheat prices and demand, will be glad to know that France has harvested a big wheat crop this year. The French have had more

than their share of troubles during recent years and still have all the load

they can carry. It is surprising, however, to learn that the French wheat crop is large enough to be nearly adequate to their needs for this crop year. It is true that France was droughtstricken last

summer, but it seems that wheat ripened early, and that while the crop of vegetables in France was cut short for lack of rain that wheat had ample moisture. At all events the Official Journal issued a statement on Monday that settles the question as far as wheat is concerned. It states that the crop this year is the "first normal crop since 1914". The harvest come so early that it is expected that it will have to cover a period of thirteen months. Our own wheat harvest also came early and we began- exporting new wheat much earlier than we ordinarily do, in large quantity. Size of the French Crop The total amount of the yield is set down as 87,843,000 quintals, including the production in Alsace-Lorraine, which is 1.940,000 quintals. (A quintal is about three and two-thirds bushels.)

There are still about l.uuu.uuu less hectares under cultivation than prior to the war, but the production to the hectare is the highest ever recorded. The consumption of bread in France will doubtless increase normally owing to reduction of price and also because of the smaller production of vegetstolcs. The Sowing of Fall Wheat Owing to the fact that 30 per cent of the wheat grown in many parts of Indiana this year was fly-infested, Purdue says: "Farmers are urged to prepare a

CORN FROST PROOF IN TEN DAYS MORE

The Joshua Brown sale on his farm located two miles nortb of Middleboro. sn the Hollansburg pike, wasn't a regular farm sale as that term is understood. Mr. Brown has no intention of leaving the farm and his offering consisted principally of live stock, which included three horses, two of which were 2-year-old colts; nine head of cattle and 100 head of hogs, more than one-third of which were spring shoats. The sale was held on Monday, and probably was the only Labor day sale in this vicinity. A bunch of Leghorn chickens, also a pen of Anconas, and a few odds and ends, were put up. The chickens sold at $1 to $1.30 each, the top being paid for Anconas. The cows were a mixed lot. The

mx year oia rioisiem ioppea iubunch at $70, and was purchased by W. Sourbeer. J. Ward paid $50.25 for a Jersey and Amos Hollinger got a Jersey grade cow at $38. An Ayrshire and Durham half blood also found a buyer. Hogs Were in Demand. The hogs were the star attraction. Charles Mikesell, a neighbor, paid ,$100.50 for two sows with 14 young fTiglets; John Mikesell picked off a sow with four youngsters, at $32.50; M. P. Spencer paid $51.25 for a mother and nine little ones, and $25.50 for .another sow with four. Charles Williams was accredited on the sales pheets with paying $61 for three gilts, while Walter Farlow paid $64 for two eows. Ollie McClure paid $103 for a pen of ten shoats, and E. Stapleton got 14 of them at $126.50. Walter Farlow, clerk of the sale, gave the total net at $1,500 and the

auctioneers said it was a very chus:factory sale, considering the limited character of the offering. Weddle and Hindman cried the sale and a cleanup was made in record time. Whitewater Ladies Serve Lunch. The Ladies' Aid of the Whitewater Christian church served the appetizing lunch and were well patronized. There are a number of sales already listed or planned, at which these enterprising women are billed to feed the hungry. The ladies present and serving at the Brown sale were: Mrs. Welles, president; Mrs. Minnie White, Mrs. Retta White. Mrs. Tessie Blose. Mrs. Frances Kirkman. Mrs. Ethel Woods, Mrs. Ida Johns.

Every effort is being put forth to have farmers do their wheat sowing after fly-free dates which range from September 20th in the north part of the state, to October 8th in the south part. Hession fly is quite prevalent in all sections. Spring wheat acreage and yield was the lowest in several years. Considerable of the oats and barley was not threshed, but will be used as hay crops. In some of the northern counties indications point to a heavy seeding of rye this fall. The late potato crop continues to show improvement, but the crop will be very small. Pastures in Good Shape.

This will improve the physical condition of the soil as well as adding some plant food.

TO PLANT WHEAT LATE (By Associated Press) WOOSTER, O. Sept. 6. Wilh the exception of northwestern Ohio, farmers are urged by the Ohio Experiment Station to sow wheat near the dates which the experience of years ha3 shown to give the maximum yield. In northwestern Ohio a definite program of late planting will be announced by county agents, because of the somewhat heavy infestation of the Hessian fly in that section.

In olden times it was popularly believed that the ruby was a very powerful amulet to ward off plagues and pestilences.

Deadly Gas in Silos We cannot omit again calling attention to the fact that a deadly gas is generated during silo filling, where th? half-filled silo is tackled in the morning. This gas kills quickly, and no man should enter a silo until the blower has been run a few minutes, in such circumstances.
