Bad as the weather has been in Indlana and serious as has been the de-, lay in planting ,the prairie country of Illinois is still farther behind in spring work. This is true, of coure, of the bottom and overflow lands everywhere, but in any flat country the drying out of the fields is a much slower proeess than in this section. James Tilton, a farmer near Hoopeston, Ill.rwhohas been spending a week with his folks on North Twelfth street, dropped in on us on Thursday. Mr. Tilton says ttat the lands around Hoopeston are so flat that it was found necessary to make a survey in order to find the direction to run ditches to get sufficient fall to drain the land. Only a small oats acreage has been put in so far and the soil has been entirely too wet, he said, to do any breaking for corn. Moldy corn has done much damage' to live stock in central Illinois this season. While cattle have mostly esraripd manv horses died early from

foraging in the com fields. This hap

pened principally before the farmers

realized what was wrong, saia air.

Tilton, who lost a couple of good four-year-old drafters before sensing the

true situation. A neighbor also found

two good horses dead in his pasture one morning.

Bought Percherons in Wayne. A-pretty choice bunch of Pereheron

horses were auctioned in Richmond on

March 1. A fine stallion and two

mares which were in that sale are now on the Tilton farm in Illinois, and it is claimed that they are the best horses in that section. The purchase was

made by one of Mr. Tilton's boys who

shipped the horses to the home farm. Horses are scarce on western farms

and will be still scarcer and in greater

demand later on, said Mr. Tilton. It is his opinion that this is a favorable time to raise colts and to buy and take good care of brood mares. Harking back . to moldy corn he thinks that

much of the loss of spring pigs and

the advent of small and often weakly

litters, may have been caused by the

percent of diseased and moldy corn

eaten by the sows.

Once More In the Field The crew of enthusiastic farmers

who have been helping to put the U. S. Grain Growers' organization on the

Wayne county map are back on the

job and hard at work. They opened a

conference of all the solicitors at work

in Indiana at Indianapolis last Satur

day, at which the new contract re

garding the work and pay of the solicitors was discussed and accepted. The boys in this field are making no com

plaint- of the new schedule, . but are going right ahead to sign up as large a wheat acreage as possible, the num

ber of bushels being considered more

important than the number of signers, as one of them stated. This crew plans to clean up every township in the county before moving on. The next general meeting of the Grain Growers is to be held at Chicago in June. In. the meantime James K. Mason of Milton and who was elected active vice president at the convention in March, is also acting as treasurer. He has been succeeded by T. I. Ferris as Indiana director and state organizer, who is now pushing the membership campaign. A total of 8,107 in this state was shown by the returns sent out on April 15. 'On that date Nebraska reported 10,087 members. A hot -campaign is now being made in Iowa in the hope of reaching the 10,000 mark by July 1. ' ' News of the Crops A decrease of 15 per cent in the oats

acreage in the so-called surplus states !

is indicated by returns to the 'Price-Current-Grain Reporter. Corn acreage will probably be the same as last year in the aggregate. In Ohio 23 per cent of the oats acreage has been seeded so far; Indiana, 10; Illinois, 29; Missouri, 21; Iowa, 36; Minnesota. 22; j South Dakota, 48; North Dakota, none; Nebraska, 72; Kansas, 69; Okla-,

homa, 99 per cent .Seeding of Qats and spring wheat made good progress in the central and western portions of the belt, according to the government weekly weather and

crop report. Progress' of winter wheat was generally very good from the great

plains eastward except for flood damage on lowlands. Crop still lacks vitality in western Kansas. Preparation of corn land made beter progress in central districts as a result of improved soil conditions. Planting has begun as far north as Oklahoma, Tennessee, and North Carolina. "Don't Plunge on Hogs" We are printing the following advice

not o plunge on hogs recently set out by Ohio university, as a matter of interest to our readers, without comment. The reader is amply able to judge for himself as to the.value of the information given, as follows: "Comparisons of corn and hog prices over a period of years confirm rural economists of the Ohio State univer

sity in an opinion, previously expressed, that the farmer is wise who refuses to plunge on hogs at this time." "According to economic history a high point in hogs when opposed to a low point in corn prices means a reversal within 18 months,'' says R. F.

Taber, extension economist, who conducted the study. "It is explained that hog and corn price ratios are figured by assuming 11.2 bushels of corn equivalent to 100 pounds live weight in hogs under Ohio conditions. On this basis, hogs sold in 1915 at nine times the corn equivalent, and in 1916 at 11 times this price. For succeeding years the ratio ran around 10 and 11 up to 1921, when it jumped to 14. "Last February . hogs were quoted at a price 19 times of corn. This is the widest ratio between corn and bog prices that has existed in the past 12 years," Mr. Taber says. "Also

a chart of hog prices shows them hitting bottom once every four to six ypars. The last low mark was in 1917. "Again, the crop, and carry-over of corn last season was the largest in years, and government statistics show that 17 per cent more sows were bred

in the fall of 1921 than in the fall of

1920, and although unusual numbers of the latest crop of young pigs are

reported to have died, there are probablv still more than a normal number

on American farms.'" Will Soon Shear Sheep.

Had the week been warm and sun

ny no doubt some sheep already would

have been robbed of their winter

coats. We are told that here and

there in Henry county, a little shear

ing has been done, Just an odd flock

or two, but if any shearing has been done in Wrayne vounty, we have not

heard of it.

With the shearing season comes

But before

and because'there as so few men who can do a nice job of shearing, or are fixed to shear at all, the sheepmen must wait their turn. As one farmer said today. "When I was a boy every farmer did his own shearing in this part of the country. We sheared when ready, asking no odds of the men with an outfit to do the work. Now the length of the shearing season depends on the men we can get to shear, and when." Shearing will begin in earnest in a few days, but the clip in Wayne county will be small at , bes. Too many of our sheep Were sacrificed in the days of price depression on both sheep and wool. Co-operative Creamery Prices. The average "net butter-fat price paid by 190 co-operative creameries in Minnesota during February, was 39.17 cents a pound. This price was twb cents above the average New York extras price for the month, which was 37.16 cents. Six ereameties paid an average of 43 cents for the month.- Their average receipts were 25,386 pounds of butter fat compared with an average of 13,823 pounds for the 190 creameries.

PAY HORSE TRAINER $5,000; ! . TEACHERS GET ONLY'$1,250 MIDDLETOWN, N.'Y., April 28. In a lecture delivered in the highlschool, the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis. of Brooklyn, declared this country had declined from first place in education a few years ago to ninth. . "I went to a race track up state," said he, "and found the trainer of a sorrel colt was getting $5,000 a year. In the same community a teacher with 42' pupils was getting $1,250. "That sorrel colt was worth more than all the children in the town. That trainer was paid more to get perspiration out of that colt's hide than was that teacher to get inspiration out of

those souls."

SAYS OIL RESERVES ,

BEING SCRAPPED FOR PRIVATE INTERESTS

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 28. Senator LaFollette, Republican, Wisconsin, at- . tacking leases of naval oil reserve land in the senate today declared the reserves were being "scrapped" in behalf of specially favored private interests.- . ' , His speech, was in reference to leases recently made by the interior department in the Teapot Dome, Wyo., reserve, to Sinclair oil Interests. The ' Wisconsin senator contended that the department in making the leases was granting to favored individuals public properties worth hundreds cf minions of dollars, which belong to the people. -- He urged adoption of his resolution calling upon the administration for all facts and documents regarding the Teapot Dome lease.- Secretary Fall of the interior department, was attacked by Senator LaFollette as the "ablest opponent" of the policy of conservation established under Roosevelt. The value of the Teapot Dome reserve was estimated at $500,000,000 by the Wisconsin senator, who declared the only reason advanced by the interior department for the leases was the alleged danger of depletion by drainage from adjacent private oil wells.

wool can be pooled it must ba shorn.

There are two, and only two ways to fill out shoulders that are too hollow for beauty. One is to hold them properly back with the chest high and to take deep breathing exercises, and the other is to massage the hollow places with warm cocoa butter. A good plan would be to try both these treatments at once. If you try massage, wash the skin with warm water or at least hold towels wrung from hot water over it so that the pores of the skin are open ready to absorb the nourhihg oil. Warm the cocoa butter and then mas

sage vigorously with the tiDS of the

fingers until you feel you have worked in a certain amount. Of course treatment like this would have to be given at bedtime, otherwise .the clothing would be hopelessly stained.- In fact you have to wear an old nightdress on the nights when you give yourself this massage. It really is very beneficial, for cocoa butter is probably, the most fattening oil.

In the morning you should wash the skin with warm water, for a certain amount of oil will remain and might stain your underclothing. In the morning also stand before an open window .well rapped up so 'you will not catch cold and begin breathing

deeply. Stand with the hands in front !

of you and extend them sidewise as you breathe. This helps expand the lungs arid lets in more air. Hold the breath, exhale and repeat a dozen times. A few vigorous arm exercises will also help to fill in hollow shoulders. Dixie: Any of the mixtures made from honey and almonds are good for keeping the hands soft and white. Troubled: Your finger nails break off because they are too trrittle. Keep them softened by rubbing Into them each night either a cream or some oil. T. A. R. B.: Powdered orris root will not hurt the hair, although you do not want to overdo the use of any powder in keeping the hair fluffy as it may absorb eo much oil in the har that it will become brittle. The only time to resort to orris root, or any other powder. Is when the hair is too oily to make possible a becoming coiffure and then it will only require a small amount of powder to accomplish this.
