POULTRY FEEDING CAMPAIGN CONSIDERED FOR OHIO BY COLLGE EXTENSION SERVICE

(By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 20. A farm poultry feeding campaign, which, it is said, will be the first of its kind ever held in Ohio, is being planned by the Ohio agricultural college extension service, under the direction of E. L. Dakan and G. S. Vickers, poultry specialists. The project will start June 1, and continue through Sept. 1. The

are not profitable crops, so they quit.

One of our canning plants runs all winter long, canning red kidney beans. No, the beans are not grown around Hoopeston but are brought in in carloads from northern districts, where grown, shelled and dried." It is Mr. Tilton's opinion that the corn acreage will be cut in his section

of Illinois; that a lot of land will go;

back to pasture and much of it to soy beans. He said that he had used soy hay and that it is all right. He said, too, that some of the sorghums, notably the sweet or sugar varieties, are grown for roughage on many farms and that "all live stock, especially horses, just love it."

"Quick ShipmentsDependable Merchandise"

Friends and Neighbors

EVERY dealer who has been fortunate in his wholesale connections comes to rely . upon the advice of the wholesaler or his representatives in placing his orders. Here is where the Indianapolis wholesalers can serve you. They are your friends and neighbprs. Because they are in intimate daily touch not only with your territory, but with trade conditions throughout the Central West, they can shrewdly foresee what your customers will buy and when they will buy it. In dealing with wholesalers at a distance, located in centers which cater largely to the trade of the South, the Southwest, or the Northwest, you do not get the benefit of this special acquaintance with local conditions. The ability of the dealer in this territory to depend oil prompt shipments over the splendid system of steam and electric roads radiating out from In

dianapolis, enables him to avoid overbuying and to save in interest and other charges on his stock. Again, Indianapolis is the center of a great industrial region, manufacturing goods of every description, and is located almost exactly at the point which has been determined as the center of industry and distribution of the United States. Hence the average freight cost charged against the goods which the Indianapolis wholesalers sell is probably lower than for any other distributing point in the country. If you make. Indianapolis your market, you add to these advantages the fact that the wholesalers of this city carry stocks as complete, as varied, as up-to-date and as economically priced as you can find anywhere stocks, too, that are specially selected to meet the needs of your trade.
