100 FARMERS APPLY

FOR SEED TREATMENT TO ELIMINATE SMUT An even hundred applications for treatment of seed wheat by the hot water method, for elimination of smut, were received by the county agent's office before the time expired, it was announced Friday. ' No further applications can be taken care of, as this number will keep the plant busy during all the time when seed can be treated, after the time it is erected and before the wheat sowing season closes. Machinery has been ordered for the plant and some of it has arrived. It will be set up and the treating plant installed ready for operation in the near future, but it is impossible to state as yet, just when farmers can begin hauling their wheat. A fixed schedule will be worked out and all applicants will be asked to con form to it, bringing in seed on a set day, and calling for it after it is treated. This is the only way in which it -will be possible to handle the grain cheaply and quickly. Mr. Dolan states, and the only manner in which it will be possible to treat all grain for which applications have been made, since every minute of the operating time of the plant will have to be provided for and planned in advance. Ends Culling Tests. Because of the work which he will find necessary on this project, it will be impossible to hold any more chicken culling demonstrations, the county agent stated Friday. Demonstrations have been held in many parts of the county, the results of which will be announced later, as they are compiled from records kept by owners of flocks which were culled. Demonstrations continued until the live stock show, but no more will be arranged for, after this. However, the county agent announces that it is proper to arrange for the 1922 demon strations now, and applications for the next poultry culling season will be received at the office.

BICYCLES

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Thursday, the big day, was the time set for all good farmers to rally around the tents at Jackson park, to encourage the initial effort to inaugurate real fall shows in Wayne county. And many of them did so rally. There wa3 a goodly crowd on the grounds from 9 in the morning on. Still, the show grounds could have well accommodated a whole lot more folks, not only farmers but also townspeople, to whom an annual agricultural show would be of benefit. Let us hope that what the live stock breeders put over this week is but a prophecy of greater thing to follow. In brief chats with numerous sightseers on the fair grounds we learned that the "show was much larger and more complete than expected." That was the general verdict. The surprising thing was that so much had been accomplished in such a brief and depressing time. A Real Chicken Dinner. The best show on earth would not long appeal to a hungry or thirsty crowd. So, then, the multitude must be fed, and it was, both at noon and evening, in lact mere was a tumu ui two on the grounds which served the owners of live stock who had tented on the grounds, with an early break fast. The central attraction in the dining service was the homelike arranged tent of the Ladies Aid of the M. E church at Centerville. "A nice chick en dinner at 50 cents" said the Danner. And it told the simple truth, for it was a nice dinner, an abundant dinner, and there were pies and things, on top of the generous helping of chicken and vegetables. We may add that there was a 50 percent reduction at the evening service, minced chicken, etc., being served at only 25 cents. The Ladies Who Served. A carload of home-made pies, bread, etc., was donated by the good women of the church, who also served sandwiches as well as full meals. This tent and this service was among the features of the show deserving of es pecial mention. The ladies serving do nnt all live in Centerville, many of them coming from the farm homes of members of the church. The following named were noted as present and serving at the M. E. church tent:: Mrs. Flora King, Mrs. E. F. Clark, Mrs. O. K. Dunbar. Mrs. Carlton Thomas, Mrs. O. P. Ford, Mrs. H. H. Peele. Mrs. Minnie Wright, Mrs. Anna Endslev, Mrs. Earl Able, Mrs. Robert O'Melia. Mrs. Jesse Ruby, Mrs. Will Darnell, Mrs. Sterl Shank, Mrs. Noel Mathews, Mrs. Paul O'Neal, Mrs. Edward Smith. Mrs. William Taylor, Mrs. Ralnh McMinn. Mrs. Wilson Fouts, Mrs. Harry Lundy, Mrs. Morgan LaMott, Mrs. Julian Dunbar, Mrs. Will Conkle, Mrs. Julia Early, Mrs. Francis Fender, and the Misses Bessie Buhl and Laura Bertsch. How many did they feed and how much money did they take In? That's a secret, so much so that we ourselves are unable to tell you, when we left at 7 o'clock Thursday evening the cash register bell was still tinkling. Shipped Two Cars of Hogs. E. A. Kinsinger, whom we met at Jackson park on Thursday, said that he had shipped 170 head of hogs to LEGAL NOTICE CITY ADVERTISEMENT NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS Notice is hereby given by order of the Board of Public Works of the City of Richmond, Indiana, that sealed bids or proposals will be received on or before 9:30 a. m. on Thursday, the 22nd day of September, 1921, at the City Clerk's office in said City by the Board of Public Works of said City upon structural and reinforcing steel to be used in connection with an enlargement of the Municipal Electric Light & Power Plant, as per layout and schedule as shown on drawing No. 4A, 5B and 6A showing details for installation of turbine and generator.

Pittsburg which were sold on the

Monday morning market and netted him $9.65 per hundred. These were March and April pigs of his own raising and averaged 189 pounds. The shipment was made from Pershing and the shrink on the two cars was but 350 pounds, as Kinsinger stated. At this writing it would appear that Mr. Kinsinger hit the market at the right moment, though he could have done still better a few days earlier. And this reminds us that H. M. Sourbeer of Pershing, marketed 82 head of Big Type Poland pure-breds on Thursday. We did not learn at what figures, nor the average weights. That Billion Dollar Fund. In an editorial comment on the bil lion dollar fund which the War Finance corporation now has at its disposal, the Chicago Tribune says: "A billion dollars is ready for the use of farmers and live stock raisers, announces the War Finance corporation. It is to be hoped government money will be more carefully employed and protected in this case than in that of the billions recklessly poured out during and since the war. If the corporation does not base its loan on sound banking principles, it will not help the farming or stock raising interests of the country in the long run. A sound credit is a sound credit whether the government grants it or the Bird Center State bank. The op portunity for politics and favoritism i3 never wanting where a large sum of public money is to be drawn upon,

but we hope the directors Of the Fi- on th calling of said cause on the 7th nance rorrmration will he ahle to keen,day of November. 1921. at the term of nance corporation vm De ame to Keep,s.aid court t0 be begun and hPld at th.

a check on exploitation of the fund. A dubious resort to government aid for a special class has been condoned on the excuse of emergency.
