school pupils under the direction oi Miss Bessie Buhl. Three playlets by performers of high school age, received especially warm approval. In spite of disagreeable weather the hall was completely filled by the hour set for the beginning of the entertainmnt, all seats on the floor and in the balcony being occupied, and every additional inch of floor space packed with standing listeners. Although the admission fee was very small, $50 was realized from the entertainment for the funds of the institute. Officers for the next year's inslitute were elected as follows: Arvel Dailey, president; Gaar -Eliason, vice-president; and Omer McConaha, secretary and treasurer.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

CLOSE HAGERSTOWM FARMERS' INSTITUTE

(Special to the Palladium.) HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Feb. 2. An evening of entertainment, combined with an instructive talk by the county agricultural agent closed the Hagerstown farmers' institute held In the Odd Fellows' hall Wednesday. Officers for the coming year, elected and announced at the afternoon session, are: Mose Keever, president; Robert Morlatt, vice-president; Willard Hoover, secretary, and William T. Leavell, "treasurer. The talk of the evening program was on "Corn Root Rot and Its Prevention," Mr. Dolan explaining the methods of better seed selection by

which diseased seed may be eliminated. H. M. Widney, talking on "Small Fruits" during the afternoon, aroused much interest and a lively discussion in the merits and the possibilities of fruit production on the average farm, - leaving" many of his audience with the i determination to grow more fruit here- , after. Advice on rearing of children and division of work in the home was giv- , en by Mrs. Deller. In interest aroused . and comment and discussion by the audience on topics treated by the speakers, the Hagerstown institute was one of the liveliest yet held in ' this section.

In our reference to Prof. Harper's statements regarding tho price realized for Indiana pooled wools we stat

ed that 19 cents was the average price realized, less 4 cents per pound as tho handling and selling costs. We are informed that it should have read the

other way and that the 19 cents perj pound was net to the growers, after

deducting the cost or graaing ana ihilng. This means that this wool sold for 23 cents per pound, from which 4 cents was deducted to cover entire cost of marketing. A retired farmer, now living in Richmond, dropped in on us on Wednesday afternoon, and we got to talking about cloven Clover is an interesting subject to feeders and rotationists at any time and more especially so when the time to seed is being considered. "My father had a whole lot of land and fed cattle for years," said this farmer," and clover was an important crop on our place when I was growing up. I remember that father brought the first clover sower ever seen in this part of the country, and that he paid $10 for the outfit, in Cincinnati, at a time when $10 was some money. This seeder had a bow-like attachment, as all old-timers will remember, and it did the work. "Well, father always sowed his clover in the first dark of the moon

in February, and made the second seeding in the first dark of the moon In March, if the ground was in the right condition, and not cracked every which" way, as was sometimes the

case. The first sowing was maae irora east to west, say, and the March sowing from north to 60Uth. This insured thorough seeding, and I never knew father to fail of getting a good crop of clover. So much clover was used on the place that he couldn't afford to lose a crop. You know, of course, that a percentage of the seed sown never shows in the stand; if it all grew the clover would stand thicker than the hair on a dog. But one thing is certain, .the two sowings, as outlined, insured enough germination to make a good stand." Seeding on Snow "Regardless of weather conditions I followed in father's footsteps for many years," said the caller, "and usually had from 100 acres up in clover. This sowing twice and in two different directions made a lot of walking, but we got the clover, and that is what we were after. I have sown a lot of clover on snow; in fact, liked to see an inch or two on the ground when seeding clover." Advice to Our Farmers A wise man once told a waiting world that advice was about the cheapest thing on the map. That it costs little or nothing, which was often a sight more than it was worth. But when Abe Martin, of Injeanny, offers his advice freely to farmers ev

ery man within hailing distance takes , notice. Abe always says something, as for instance. "Let th' farmer spend the winter in quiet reflection. After j he feeds and milks let him set down J an' think an resolve." In continuing his remarks in FarmLife, Abe says: ,"Farmin' in the fu-.

ture must be close reefed and rational. The farmer o' th future must not be so susceptible. He must keep out of

politics, an th real estate business an' be careful who he votes for." In conclusion Mr. Martin Bays: "We there

fore urge all farmers to be optimistic

as they kin. Let them be glad they're sound an' well, an' not like poor Wilbur Meadows, who recently broke his back trying t' lift 35 cents worth o' oats."

Everett Palmer, in talking to a Kansas farm audience, remarked: "We have seen strange conditions before, but did we ever before see a time when we had to sell two horses to buy a harness?" . Gypsum Preserves Nitrogen There are very few better top dress

ings for barnyard manure than gypsum or land plaster, scientifically

known as calcium sulphate. By sprink

ling the finely powdered gypsum over the manure or in the gutters in the stables, the ammonia which rises from

the manure passes into the air, carry

ing with it large amounts of valuable

nitrogen, is converted to another form

ammonium sulphate, which is not volatile. In this way the costly nitrogen element is saved through a very little expense. The main objection to the use of gypsum is that it does not have the same sweetening effect on acid soils as ordinary lime. In fact, if used In large quantities, it may increase tho, acidity of the soil. This tendency can be controlled by the proper application of limestone in connection with the gypsum, we are told. Calls It Impossible Scheme In the investigation of attacks made on U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., at Washington, on Tuesday, R. I. Mansfield, chairman of the executive committee of the Grain Dealers' National association, was called to testify. He said that his organization had conducted a campaign against it, not because it was against co-operative dealing but because the marketing plan worked out by the committee of 17 was an

impossible scheme." He then went

on to say that: "It gave the farmer no voice in the handling or sale and yet allowed this organization, the United States Grain

Growers, Inc., to borrow funds from a

subsidiary organization with the grain

so secured as collateral. The practical effect of this was that the farmers' grain became the capital stock of this organization and gave the owner of this grain a similar position to a stockholder in a corporation which in event of failure gave that stockholder

only a pro-rata share in any remain

ing assets. "To the ordinary Intelligent farmer

and business man the scheme was so utterly impossible as to carry on its face its inability to function," said Mansfield. While we are far from endorsing Mr. Mansfield's statements and conclusions, wb aro eivlne SDace to the

above as a showing of what has beelf; sent out of Washington to a number j

of the big dailies.

Mr. Mansfield presented the "Grain

Growers contract, with its interlock-' ing contracts, and it was found that I the whole comprised 30-feet of single ' space typewriting, of ordinary letterhead width, which it took one hour and 10 minutes to read," as one correspond-;

ent stated. The witness claimed that the grain trade in general does not object to co-operative marketing, but are opposed to the plan suggested. Are Still Growing. Regardless of the testimony being brought out at Washington, or the final legislation as to the Grain Growers' pooling plan, and the general legislation favoring farm co-operatives, the 17. S. G. G. are still signing up a lot of members every week, and are extending into new territory as rapidly as possible. The officials seem enthusiastic over the growth in membership, and the faith of the fanners in ' the "plan."

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for Bteady. use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better

rthan anything else you can use.

One or two teaspoonsful of Mulsified will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy, to manage.

Thoughts of an American flag. "I guess it will take another war to bring me back into the limelight. I've been lying on this top shelf since Armistice Day and it looks as if I won't see the outside again before the thirtieth of May. "There are plenty of people coming into this store every day and they seem to have lots of money. But they're not buying American flags. I'm almost as much forgotten as some of the wounded doughboys who've been trying to unravel red tape for the past three years. "Ah, a ray of hope. One of the clerks and an elderly gentleman are coining toward my corner. The old gentleman is saying, 'Yes. I read about your beautiful American flags in the "Articles for Sale" column of The Palladium's classified section. I think that every American should own a flag.' "The old gentleman is looking me over carefully now. He seems to like me. Hurrah! He's going to buy me. I'm not forgotten after all. Three cheers for the classified ads. Now I'll have a chance to wove in the breeze every nice day instead of rotting to pieces in this dark old corner." (Copyright 1321)

Increasing Legume Crops Coleman Suaaests Growing Soy

Beans, Clover or Alfalfa on Corn and Oats Ground. Increasing the acreage of legumes such as soy beans, clover and alfalia, to replace the extremely large acreage of corn and oats, which will be reduced some this year, was advocated in a recent statement by T. A. Coleman, county agent leader. "In some quarters there is a strong disposition to reduce the acreage in cash crops that are now selling below cost of production," said Mr. Coleman. "County agents at this time can well afford to stand firmly on the proposition of increased acreages of legumes to take the place of some of these cash crops. In the first place, the legumes are better for the soil. Secondly, they mean a more equitable distribution of labor, therefore cheaper costs; and in the third place, legumes properly handled contribute much to the economic handling of live stock."

Mr. Coleman also pointed out

that there probably never was a greater need for the American

Pointers for the Back-Yard Poultryman

Keep the hens confined to your

own land.

Three-Fourths of Indiana Soils in Need of Liming

Three-fourths of the soil in Indiana are sour. Over one-half of our cultivated land is in need of limestone. Clover which is necessary for increasing soil fertility can not be grown successfully on sour eoils without using lime. Liming not only neutralizes soil acidity but it makes insoluble many injurious compounds found in acid soils. Soluble salts of aluminum are the compounds most injurious

Don't overstock your land. Purchase . well-matured pullets rather than hens. Don't expect great success in hatching and raising chicks unless you have had some experience, and have a grass plat separate from the yard for the hens. Build a cheap house or shelter. Make the house dry and free from drafts, but allow for ventilation. Fowls stand cold better than

dampness. You can build a

tion to lime to precipitate aluminum

salts. It is not necessary to use enough lime to neutralize all the soil acidity. When liberal amounts of phosphate are applied it is better and more profitable to leave the soil slightly acid for best results. When sour soils are limed and fertilized they accumulate organic matter and acquire a better tilth. Calcium and magnesium limestones are of equal value for agricultural purposes.

of the efficiency of farm management methods and practices. Probably never before in the history of Indiana agriculture could a man develop new and improved strains of grain or live stock with as little cash outlay for foundation material as at the present time, he says. These thoughts are worth thinking about. Soy beans, clover or alfalfa must find a bigger place in the crop rotations in Indiana if soil fertility is to be maintained or increased and if crop yields are fo remain at the present standards or go higher. Indications now are that thousands of farmers will grow more legumes this year than for many seasons.

Hatch Early to Insure Winter Egg Production

With the average small-farm flock where hens of a general-purpose breed are kept, it is most satisfactory to let the hens do the hatching. If the hens are of a nonbroody breed, however, it is necessary to use incubators or to purchase baby chicks. Whatever the method of hatching, it is most important that it be done at the right time of year. The proper time of hatching aries with different localities, being earlier in the South and latest in the extreme North. The aim should bo to hatch the chicks at such a time as will allow the pullets to reach their full development

and begin laying in October or November, poultry specialist in the United States department of agriculture say as these earlier maturing pullets must be depended upon very largely for the fall and winter egg production. Late-hatched chicks do not mature in time to produce fall and winter eggs, nor do they live or grow so well during the hot weather. miiiiiiiiiiiiHiHiuiniiHiiinimiwiiniHniiiiniHHiHimiiiHtiuiimiiniiiil I A Milk Producer I 'WheWs Wonder Feed' ( $1.85 cwt. $35.00 ton 1 Will Increase Your Milk Yield 1 t s mmm '""""'""""""iHiiiHsiitmMnimiiiiniiiiiiiiiimiiiiuiiiiMHif

Small windows, screened

for summer, and provided with glass or cloth for winter, should be provided. It is wise, also, to have these boxes raised off the ground a few inches to prevent rats making their homes under the house. This kind of house should be for 20 hens. Keep house and yard clean. Provide roosts and droppings boards. Save the manure. It is worth money if treated properly. Provide a nest for each four or five hens. Grow some green crop in the yard. vSpade up the yard frequently. Feed table scraps and kitchen waste. Feed grain once or twice a day. Feed a dry mash. Keep hens free from lice and the

house free from mites. Kill and eat the poorest hens in the fall when they begin to molt and cease to lay. Preserve the surplus eggs produced during the summer for use

during the fall and winter when eggs are scarce and high in price. The size of the flock which can be kept most efficiently will de-j pend upon the space available and! upon the amount of table scraps I and other waste available for feed. It is a mistake to overstock your land. Belter results will be ob-i

tamed from a few hens in a smalt yard than from a large number. Tho backyard flock rarely should consist of more than 20 or 25 hens, and often of not more than eisrht

or 10. For 20 or 25 hens you should have a yard 25x30 feet in size.
