The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The premium list of the coming live stock and agricultural exposition at Jackson park is a very creditable booklet, and Is indeed much larger than we anticipated. It was delivered to the association on Tuesday, from the Old Trails Echo press, Center-

ville. and was immediately distributed

arrangements necessary. Every day sees a volunteer force at the park, swinging scythes and clearing space for the displays. The open ground in front of the pavilion has been reserved for the industrial exhibits and amusement concessions, but bushes have had to be cleared out from space set aside for the stock tents. Concessions, Displays Separate. It is planned to arrange the concessions and displays, other than stock, on both side8 of the entrance driveway, most being put on the east side. The Automobile association, which

has arranged to show under a large j

the program for the forthcoming show, set for Wednesday and Thursday, September 14 and 15. Intending exhibitors will note that: "Entries on live stock will be closed at 9: p. m. Saturday. Sept. 10. All

exhibits must be owned by the persons making the entries. All agricultural exhibits, with the exception or corn, must have been grown in 1921. Entries on agricultural products will close at 8:30 on Wednesday, Sept. 14. the opening morning. All exhibits must be in place at 9 o'clock on th-; same forenoon.

"The -grounds will be policed and everv precaution taken for the safe

tent, will have a central location, with

agricultural machinery also in a space reserved especially for it nearby. One luncheon tent which has been spoken for by the ladles of the M. E. church of Centerville. will be placed in front of the pavilion, between it and the automobile tent. Thad N'ichols. of Centerville. to whom has been assigned th task of placing exhibits and disposing of space. Is spending practically all bis time at the park now. He announces that he will receive all applicants there, and allow them to select their positions on the grounds. There are still some desirable spaces left, he fays. Premium Lists Distributed. Distribution of the premium lists, which came off the press Monday, has been made to breeders who had applied for them, and still others arn available for those who wish them. Besides the agricultural department, provision is made for exhibits of cattle, horses, shep, hogs and poultry. Grade and registered classes are provided for draft horses, and in cattle, classes for Hereford, Shorthorn, Aberdeen. Angus and Galloway, and for grade beef cattle. Five breeds of ho?s. Poland Chinas, nurocs .Chester Whites, Spotted Polands and Hampshires. are provided for. In addition there is a breed promotion show in the Poland Chinas and the exhibit of pigs grown by the 50

pig club members of the county. This

last is expected to be one or tne strong features of the show. Two Sheep Classes.

Wood Eliason said on Thursday that the big top is a 60 by 120 foot tent. There will be as many large tents on the grounds as may be required to house the exhibits, arrangements having al ready been made to have them shijv-1-ed in right away from various points. Clearing the Grounds. To clear the grounds and get everything in shape is quite a job. Men have been at work on it for several days, but it will take concerted effort to get the grounds in good shape. Every farmer who can lend a hand is asked to be present at Jackson park

home of L. M. Pike, two miles southwest of Fountain City, on Friday morning at 9 o'clock. A similar demonstration will be made at the Harry Heinbaugh farm in Boston township, five miles south of Richmond, ' on the Liberty Pike, at 9 o'clock, on Saturday morning, Sept. 10. There will also be a "culling" at the home of Lewis Kinsey, two miles southwest of Green's Fork on the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 9, beginning at 1:30. Mr. Kinsey lives in Clay township and a number of cullings are being planned for that section. The Verne De Hays culling in Harri

son township is set for Monday, Sep

tember 12 at 9 o'clock. There will be a culling at the Star Souder farm in

Wayne township on the same after

noon.

At the culling of 200 White Leghorns j

at tne umer smitn place near Hagerstown, there were 57 culls. Quite a number of farmers and their wives stayed through the entire demonstration, as interested spectators. This was on Monday. The culling at the home of R, C.

Mendenhall, southwest of Economy, on last Tuesday, was a little out of the' ordinary in this way. Most of the audience took a hand in the judging, several of them placing the hens in their class, as 1, 2, and 3. Some of them showed expert judgment and

were able to give the reasons for their rejections or classifications. County Agent Dolan went to Indianapolis early on Wednesday for a two days' visit at the state fair. He will be at his office again on Friday forenoon. That Billion Dollar Loan. As all farmers are aware the War Finance Corporation bill was passed before congress recessed, but all are not aware as to the action on amendments, nor the shape of the bill in its final form. Briefly, then, be it stated that it em

powers the corporation to issue for sale $1,500,000,000 of its own bonds and to lend $1,000,000,000 for financing agricultural exports. The provision for lending to alien borrowers was strick

en out and in its place, as a compromise, was inserted a provision which will permit the corporation to lend to anybody, providing satisfactory collateral is supplied. The proposal to make available to the federal farm loan banking system $200,000,000 to be loaned to farmers on farm real estate was stricken from the bill. The provision for lending to co-operative associations was retained. Powers Were Broadened. The powers of the finance corporation were broadened to permit loans to exporters, bankers, or associations of producers of farm products when such products are held for export. Formerly thess latter loans could only be made on products actually "sold for export." This, it may be observed, is an important difference. It will facilitate loans to co-operatives who have stored for future export sales, and who so declare when asking loans. Once More Grain Growers. The U. S.

In his editorial comment on cut rent prices for grain the editor of the Prairie Farmer says: "It is unsafe to predict the future course of prices, and we have no intention of trying to do so. It is worth noting, however, that practically every one in the grain trade believes that prices are too low. and

OF OHIO REFLECTED

IN STATE COLLEGE COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 8. Hard times on Ohio farms are reflected in registration figures at Ohio State university this year. There is a 30 per cent decrease in the enrollment in the college of agriculture. In the univeisity as a whole, registration figures

An appeal to farm boys to attend

the university if they possibly can do so is made by Dean Alfred Vivian of

SPARTANBURG GRANGE INITIATION SATURDAY

appearing in the September "Agricultural Student," published by agricultural students at the college. Viviaii points out that agricultural college training triples the income ot farmers.

Powerful forces now at work are cer

tain to better living conditions on tho farm, he asserted. "Rightly organized country life offers more in the way of intellectual enjoyment and of satisfying social life than is possible in any other surroundings," Dean Vivian asserted. He appeals to farm boys to think seriously before turning away from farming, and into callings in which they have served no apprenticeship, and may have no aptitude. Ordinarily, the college of agriculture shows one of the largest gains of any college in the university.

WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept. 8. The amount of wool produced on American

farms decreased during the last 101 rears by over fi0,000,000 pounds, or 20 j percent. Production of mohair, how-; ever, increased by 3,000,000 pounds ; which was 80 percent above a decade; ago. ! The census also shows a smaller number of sheep, both enumerations,; the last taken on Jan. 1 and the 1910; census taken April 15. excluding spring ; lambs, so that the figures indicate an, actual instead of only an apparent de-i crease. The figures show 35,033.516 1 f-heep on the farms in 1920, against; 29.fi44.046 in 1910. Wool production for 1919 was 22V 795,191 pounds and for 1909 it was; 289.419.977 pounds.
