CHECt HOLD IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL SERVICES AT CHESTER SUNDAY CHESTER, Ind., June 5. A stirring address by Rev. J.'W. Zerbe, former Wayne county pastor, music by the Neff family of Green's Fork, and an impressive ceremonial at the cemetery, were included in the Memorial day exercises' at Chester on Sunday. The exercises, as usual for Chester, were attended by a record-breaking crowd, the church being packed to capacity and with many listeners standing at the doors and windows. Nine Civil war veterans were given places of honor at the church and cemetery, taking an important part in the services at the cemetery. They were Timothy Hart,. J. Jordan, John Davenport of Richmond, E. . J. Gibbs of Fountain City. Stephen F. Thomas, Elijah1 Roberts, Greer Williams, John Ruby and Asher Pearce. The line of march to the f omptprr i"was headed by the drum and bugle corps or tne Richmond post of Sons of Veterans, followed by children of the Sunday school carrying flowers, the Sons of Veterans, veterans of the World war, and by the G. A. R. members in autos. The ceremonies at the cemetery included a tribute to the unknown dead by Victor E. Stoner, pastor of the Chester congregation, taps played by the bugle corps, and volleys by a firing squad of veterans. Pleads for Ideals A plea not to forget the ideals followed in the great war was sounded by Rev. Zerbe in his address at the church. "A nation is great only as it stands for some great truth, for justice or as it produces great men," he said. "We have enjoyed such a position until now, and we must strive to hold it. We entered the war to fight for an ideal, to make this world a decent plact to live in, and used the best of our men and the untiring efforts of our women to that end. It is worth while from time to time to remind ourselves of those facts. With all the material advantages which w.have our greatest assets are the volitical freedom and religious lib' -which we enjoy, and we must kt., all these spiritual advantages." The afternoon program at the church was opened by the singing of "America" by the congregation and with invocation by Rev. Stoner. Much interest was shown by the audience in a solo by a little girl, Miss Olive May Bowman, with piano accompaniment by Mrs. Carl Thompson, and a recitation by another child, Roxie Thomas. Prof. Shannon Neff, Misses Flossie and Louise, and Mrs. Doctor Neff obliged with several songs.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
Many of our readers may be under, the impression that there will be no pooling of wool in Wayne county this year, simply because the clip has all been taken off and wool buyers have been active enough to have "secured several thousand pounds. They began buying early, as reports in this column have shown, and have bid steadily advancing prices. As a matter of fact considerable wool has been sold in all adjoining Indiana and Ohio counties, one concern in Eaton having secured close to five carloads, some of it coming in a distance of almost fifty miles. This firm has been buying from farmers and also from independent buyers and speculators, who have been taking chances on a rising market and on the effects of the wool tariff now being so strenuously debated. Now, many farmers, not all of w-hom are. wool growers, are of the opinion that co-operative selling should not be overlooked or allowed to go by default, now or at any time. These favor pooling of wool so that fleece owners may get all their wool is worth where there is competitive buying by representatives of the various mills. Wayne county,, as is well known, has a "wool committee," of which Theodore Davis, of Green's Fork, is chairman. Mr. Davis has just mailed out a letter to flock owners, in which he states that owing to recent market advances" the price of raw wool at the factory is now running an average of 40 cents or better for various grades. On that basis Mr. Davis insists that "wool buyers over the county are not paying up as close to the market as they should. The Davis View on Pooling The letters going out contain return postals, asking a report on the number of fleeces shorn, and asking whether Richmond, Cambridge City, Hagerstown or Centerville will be their most convenient delivery point, the favored point to be checked on the card. We quote the heart of the Davis letter on Pooling, as follows: "The plan we have -.in mind is to have the wool growers assemble their wool in one, two, or possibly three central locations over the county, and then either send the wool in carload lot to the State pool at Columbus, Ohio where other counties in Indiana are selling their wool or to keep the wool in the county here and invite wool buyers from the mills to come here and bid on the wool. Two mills in Indiana are very anxious to buy our wool right here in the county. Surely we can get better bids on 1 large amount than can the individual farmer on his small lot The highest bidder will be the person who gets the wool." Look Out for Chinch Bugs If the fact that a man hasn't looked for chinch bugs and hasn't seen a bug on his place, insured him against the pest, we would advise farmers who go out to inspect their fields to walk in the middle of the road and to view the landscape as a whole, rather than to wade around in his wheat and oat3 to make close inspection. But if bugs are there, why there they are, whether you know about them or not; so it will be best to be informed right at the start, so that you can act as conditions direct. Hight now is- the time to investigate. After you have done so. we shall be mighty glad to hear from you, by postal or phone call. In case of the lato, .nil 2969 and charge this office. At the same time you can tell us how your crops are looking; howr your hogs are coming on and the prospects for fruit on your place, if you have an orchard. But in any event tell us about the bugs, if you discover any. We also have an idea that J. L. Dolan, county agent, will be anxious to know the facts, he being curious and inquisitive as to all kinds of crop pests. He seems built that way and is In the habit of piling his swivel chair into a corner and then taking a nose dive In his flivver out through the country to see what is going on. He tells us that he has met-up with quite a few chinches, of late, and while they are now shy and retiring and are taking life easy that their tribe may increase and do some talking back, a bit later. j Pay Premiums on Sound Hogs Farmers who produce hogs free from tuberculosis in the future will be paid a premium by Chicago packers. The five big packers Swift, Morris, Wilson, Armour, and Cudahy and many of the small packers, have agreed to pay 10 cents a hundred above the market price on all hogs shipped to the Chicago live stock market providing they are free from tuberculosis and come from a farm where both cattle and hogs are not infected with this dreaded disease j This agreement was reached on June 2 at the Saddle and Sirloin club, where a joint session of packers and representatives of the live stock exchanges was held. Everett C. Brown, president of the National Live Stock exchange and Prof. H. R. Smith, live stock commissioner of the national exchange and originator of the idea, urged the packers to agree to pay 10 cents a hundred above the market price pn carloads of hogs shipped from counties certified by the federal and state sanitary officials as free from tuberculosis. Packers Are Liberal J The packers not only agreed to this but said they would also pay this premium to any farmer, whether he lived in a disease free county or not, if hi3 herds of cattle and hogs were free: from the disease. j The farmer's cattle have to pass two tuberculin tests one year apart and the entire herd of. hogs must be freo
HAVEN'T ANYMOHd
from the disease before the premium will b; paid on the carload lots of hogs. If a farmer can guarantee his hogs to be free from the disease the premium is paid subject to inspection at the time they are killed. The hogs are shipped to the market in the regular way and are killed separately; if none of them are infected the premium is paid on the entire shipment. The packers believe farmers who clean up their herds should be recognized, and since there are no counties free from tuberculosis, they decided to pay the premiunl to farmers whose herds are not diseased, in order that the idea could be put into operation immediately. Ten Prosperous Farmers The ten farms having the highest profits out of 100 typical Clinton county farms over a seven-year period had twice as many acres in crops, 12 per cent more livestock per acre, 20 per cent higher crop yields, 54 per cent higher returns per animal, and 44 per cent more crop acres taken care of by each workman than the average of the ten farms with lowest profits, according to figures reported by the farm management department of Purdue university from a study in that area. An Irrigated Garden That overheard irrigation in the garden makes better crons. is shown in the results of tests at Michigan Expe-i riment Station in 1920. The principal crops grown were cabbase. onimr?. j beets, carrots, potatoes, celery, lettuce ana peppers. rihe average weight of cabbage heads in the unirrigated plot was two nnunrls vitVi a nrnrlimHn nt j 5.2 tons an acre. The average weight of heads in the irrigated plot was 3.5 pounds and the total production 9.5 tons an acre, or an increase nf nparlv 1 100 per cent in production due to ir rigation. Irrigation also produced increased yields in other crops as follows: Onions, 233 per cent; beets, 86 per cent; carrots, 66 per cent; and lettuce 60 per cent. Several other points in favor of irrigation, besides increased yield have been observed: 1, better quality; 2, less cultivation necessary; 3, no wait-j ing for rain before planting seeds orj setting plants; 4, easier to plan rotation and companion crops; 5, when combined with fertilization, it makes possible more intensive cropping with corresponding greater profits. What Careful Culling Proved Last summer Paul C. Jamieson, poultry specialist at Colorado Agricultural College, culled a flock of 150 White Leghorn hens in Delta county. The seventy hens that were nicked out as culls laid two eggs in ten days. The eighty good hens continued to produce the average number of eggs gathered before culling. In Calhoun county, Iowa, the county agent culled a flock and later got this letter from the owner: "Dear sir: You asked me to let you know about the hens you culled. The 61 hens out of 226 are still penned up and. have not laid an egg." , TWO PERSONS KILLED IN CROSSING MISHAP; INJURED TO RECOVER (Special to The Palladium) NEWCASTLE, Ind., June 5 No oth-J er deaths are expected, physicians at the hospital here today said, as a result of the accident Saturday south of Dunreith, when a train crashed into an automobile, killing two persons, and seriously injuring three others.
