THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., MONDAY, JAN. 30, 1922.

WOMEN ARE TO HAVE BIG SHARE IN WAYNE SHOW, SHORT COURSE With a special program for -women, a domestic science show, and with a woman's committee including members in every township in the county, the proposed Wayne county corn show and short course will be effectively prevented from being the purely masculine affair that such events have been so often in the past. Even in premiums, women have demanded and obtained equal rights, and their husbands will have to exert themselves if the wives do not go home from the show with more money than the men. The plan of exhibits allows for competition between the townships in the displays, with sweepstakes prizes in addition to the premiums for the best exhibit from each township. No extravagant premiums are to be offered, the manamagement rather attempting to spread out the premiums so as to entourage as large a number of entries as possible, and with the rivalry promised between neighbors and townstips liberal displays already are assured. Plan Women's Share A committee composed of Mrs. J. T... Dolan. president of the newlyformed county federation of women's rural and suburban clubs, Mrs. D. W. Scott, Mrs. R.' B. Morrow and Miss Stella Ilarman, met in the county agent's office Saturday to plan for the women's share in the two-day show and short course. Besides foods, the woman's show also will feature clothing exhibits, and classes will be provided for the school girls of the county, enabling them to display the skill learned in school, while they will be admitted to competition with their mothers in certain classes also. The committee named to enlist township support in the women's show is as follows: Abington, Mrs. Edith lUirris; Boston. Mrs. W. B. Massie; Center. Mrs. Minnie Wright; Clay, Mrs. Theodore Davis; Dalton, Mrs. Cora Thornburg; Franklin, Mrs. Frank Knoll; Greene, Mrs. Omer Pearce; Harrison, Mrs. Joe Brooks; Jackson, Mrs. Hay Hunnicutt; Jefferson, Mrs. C. X. Teetor; New Garden, Mrs. Reuben Macey; Perry, Mrs. F. F. Greenstreet; Washington, Mrs. Mary Caldwell; Wayne, Mrs. R. B. Morrow; Webster, Mrs. Joseph Thompson. To Give Demonstrations In addition to the dairy lectures to be given by Prof. C. A. McCanse, of Purdue, demonstrations will be given with dairy cows selected from herds near Richmond and exhibited before the audience in the Coliseum. The other instruction also will be linked up with demonstrations, a committee having been named to secure material ior use of the sneakers.

Charles F. Williams, president of

ihe Wayne County Grain Growers, under whose direction the short course and corn show will be held, met with

the committees to draft the premium

list Saturday, and it is expected that ihis will be ready to announce soon.

First, second and third prizes will be provided in all classes of the domestic

science show.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanfcorn

The fanciers of the good red hog, otherwise the Duroc breeders, are a likely bunch of enthusiasts to attending meetings where ham and bacon on the hoof is discussed, and good things to eat is on tho menu. The second annual meeting of the Muncie District Duroc Breeders' association will be held at the Hotel Roberts, at Muncie, on Saturday, Feb. 4, beginning at 9:30, at which hour the directors will hold a brief business session. J. E. Green of Muncie will deliver an address of welcome, to which Bert Wilson of Cambridge City will respond, to be followed by a talk by R. J. Evans of Chicago. Willis Tappan of Alexandria, Charles M. Trowbridge of Mays and Charles F. Sprague of Lima, Ohio, are on the afternoon program. There are six counties in the Muncie district: Delaware, Wayne, Jay, Grant, Madison and Randolph. That Muscle Shoals Deal Henry- Ford never loiters along the way; he is ever on the move. When W. B. Mayo sprinted directly from Washington to Detroit with the contract for the lease and purchase of the Muscle Shoals plants owned by the government, Mr. Ford glanced over the documents, affixed his signature thereto and started Secretary Mayo back to Washington. Mr. Mayo wasn't in Detroit long enough to get a shine: The document now is in the hands of

(By Associated Press) 1 COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 30. The Ohio farmer starts one of his biggest weeks of the year today. From every section of the state, he is expected to stram into Columbus for Farmers' Week at Ohio State university. He will participate in and listen to things that it take3 a 20-page program to line up. He will hear addresses about his business from some of the biggest men in the business. He will learn the latest things science has perfected to help the fanner turn out better crops and earn more money by it. His women-folk will learn how to dress better on less money. They will go to concerts, receptions and the like. If they choose, they will be relieved

of the worry of carting their children

around with them ; there will be a big nursery and playroom where they may be left. George Crane, extension secretary of the college of agriculture, predicts that 6.000 Ohio farm people will attend Farmers' Week this year. Farmers' Week will last through Friday, inclusive, and from 8 a. m. until 10 p. ni., there will be something doing each day. Dancing Each Day. From 6 to 7 p. m. each day, has

That it is possible to buy, fit and! sell purebred beef cattle at a profit, j even in this time of business slumps, i has been proved by the Ohio Livestock company, composed of 57 students in i the course in beef production at Ohioj State university, the students asserted

today. Early in October the class, under

direction of Prof. Conklin, purchased j two shorthorn heifers. Roan Countess i

and Dales Blossom, at $275. During the 90-day feeding period, when they were in charge of the students, they were fed for an average cost of 10 cents a head, and at the time of the sale, Roan Countess was making daily gains of three pounds, and the other heifer was gaining two pounds daily. They showed well in their class at the Ohio Shorthorn show, January 10-11, and in the sale

brought $345, an increase of $70 over the purchase price. This allowed, when all expenses were paid, a profit of around 14 cents for each student.

The Other Viewpoint The writer concludes by stating that until freight rates come down and prices in general are lowered, while farm commodity prices are advanced, we can not look for "good" times. The point we are making is this: When shoes and clothing cost the high prices indicated in the statements given, grain and live stock were bringing much more than present prices. And while there are points in the western edge of the corn belt where corn is still selling at ruinously low prices, owing to local conditions and distance from market, it is a fact that feeders can not buy a bushel of corn at an Indiana farm sale as low as 40 cents. Admittedly corn is cheap and oats are relatively cheaper, but in this section corn is bringing well up toward CO cents at the average farm sale right now, it being rarely that it isn't bid up to 50 and 55 cents, at least that

INDIANA AND OHIO FARMERS GET LOANS FROM FEDERAL BANK

(By Associated Prpss) LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 30. The Federal Land bank of Louisville is lending money to farmers of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee at the rate of $300,000 . to $400,000 a month, Walter Howell, president, said today. The bank hopes to lend between $15.000,0W and $20,000,000 dur

ing 1922, he said. Tha bank now has in force 10,778 loans to actual fanners, aggregating ?:.H.274,700, according to the annual re-

before congress for final decision.

Cheap Farm Electricity A cheap, wind-driven outfit for furnishing electricity seems to be in sight. A windmill has been devised which at variable speeds produces a constant voltage. A light wind of 7

! miles per hour will generate enough

electricity for all general purposes. The new plant, the result of a year or more of experiment, can be made to run on 32 volts or on 16 volts, by means of a switch. About Early Hatching Taking the average general purpose farm flock, it is the most satisfactory to let the hens do the hatching, and that is usually the farm wife's pian. It saves her a lot of work. But to insure earuy layers and plenty of

chickens incubators are necessary, and

There is no denying that the situa

tion is bad enough, at the best, but to paint conditions as being worse than they really are does no good, and is misleading.

That the practice of wintering sheep without water or with a very small amount of water is injurious, was

found by Paul F. Mongert, a senior in

A decrease of 4,200,000 trees of all fruits in the last ten years is shown in 1920 census reports, and horticulture experts he re are cf the opinion that a very small percentage of trees which arc planted annually ever come into bearing. E. C. Cotton, chief of the bureau of plant industry of Ohio, attributes the decrease of apple trees to the passing of the ordinary farm orchard, due, he believes, to tho increase of insect pests and diseases, which require regular applications of control measures.

"Convenience and economy of opera

tion are the two points of prime im-1 portance to be kept in view in farm j field arrangement, says Professor J. I. Falconer, department of rural economics, Ohio State. j Professor Falconer sets forth these general principles, which may be helpful towards a better arrangement ofj farm fields: j "In the interest of tillage, harvesting j nnd crop adaptation, an effort should be made to avoid widely different soil types or drainage conditions in the j same field.

Big Savings For The Thrifty Housewife Few homes indeed do not feel the need of economy. The necessity of making every penny count touches the purse of every housewife. It is doubtful if there is a single article employed as a food or in the preparation of food that demands more buying wisdom than Baking Powder. Upon its quality depends the succes3 and economy of the bakings themselves. Calumet Baking Powder enables the housewife to make three worth while savings. She saves when 6he buys it it 13 moderate in price. She saves when she uses it she uses only half as much as is required of most other powders. She 6aves materials it is used with it never permits bake-day failure. Any women can use Calumet with absolute certainty of best results delicious, tasty bakings that are pura and wholesome.
