150 FOOT SIDEVALL TO PROVIDE STAGE SETTING FOR FAIR
The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
i A side wall display canvas running fl50 feet along the east end of Roosevelt Field -will provide the stage setting for the important fair events. Elmer Eggemeyer, chairman of grounds and concessions, announced Monday after spending the forenoon at Glen Miller laying off the space for the tents and concessions. The canvas background, 15 feet high will be illuminated with strings of vari-colored lights, and flags floating from poles set every 15 feet. A band stage will be erected midway along its length and in front of the stage, a tanbark trail will be laid for parading the horses in the horse show. Stock tents will be pitched at the north end of the field, both the hog and horse tents standing side by side, each one facing on the central grounds
with an 80-foot front, and extending a depth of 120 feet back to the Deer Pen
road, from which stock may be unload
ed directly into the tents. Another
tent also 80 by 120 feet, will stand be
side these with its openings east and
west. Place for Horses
A space 15 feet wide at the narrow
est point is left to the east side of
the wall, between It and the creefc.
In this space, behind the wall, the
horses may be grouped and held during the horse show and brought out
nromDtly -when their turn comes. The
white diving horses will be on exhibit
.with the rest of the stock in the horse show. The emergency hospital, for which equipment will be loaned by Reid Memorial hospital, will be located in a tent near the spring, in the space just south of the rockery. The hospital will be manned by a member of tho Medical society, which will co-operate with the fair management to maintain it. The nursery and women's rest tent, supervised by the Red Cross organization, will be located on fhe Chautauqua grounds, to the east of the location of the big chautauqua tent. Amusement Concessions Amusement concessions will be
placed along the western entrance to
the grounds, a ferns wheel near me custodian's lodge, an ocean wave near
the western entrance, and others will
be grouped along the drives.
The horse diving act will be staged from a scaffold built about half way down the slope of the middle "hump" in the field, and the dancing pavilion will be placed just to the south of the
tanbark trail and stage which is to
be the center of attraction for special
program events. Work on the scaf
fold for the diving act will start on Wednesday, and the dancing floor is
expected to be up within a few day3
also.
Domestic science, agricultural and similar displays will be housed in a 30
by 50 foot tent on the Chautauqua
grounds.
Orders for four tents 80 by 120, one
80 by 160 feet, and three 30 by 50 feet
were sent by Mr. Eggemeyer Saturday. Extra tents will be on hand for
overflow exhibits or for need 3 not
previously arranged for.
A special finance committee, composed of Mayor Lawrence Handley,
Nimrod Johnson, Paul James and E
H. Harris is continuing work this
week, visiting citizens not formerly
seen and making resolicitations. The
committee announces that checks may be mailed to the secretary, Charles
Hodge, at 15-17 North Ninth street
by any who is interested and have
not been seen.
News of the fair continues to draw additional concessions and attractions. Hostler and Harris of New Paris, the new owners of the plane used by the Chenoweth aviation company, announced Saturday that they would fly from a field near Glen Miller if possible. Passengers will be taken at the regular charge, and the sight of the plane in flight will be an added interest to the crowds. A radio equipped automobile, which has een operating as an advertisement at the Ohio state fair and will be at Indianapolis next week, passed through Richmond, Monday, and on learning of the fair to be held here, the operator expressed an intention of returning for it. The radio concerts given by the set mounted in the car, with an overhead aerial, have proved a strong attraction at the state fairs. From Richmond, the car will go to the Illinois state fair at Spring- . field.
STATE FAIR OPENS This is the big week of the year at Indianapolis. The fair gates swung
open at 6 o'clock on Monday and right
then the show was on. Admittedly it is a great show, as good as any of its class in the entire country, and one of which the state may justly be proud. Regardless of how many farmers may visit the fair to their personal enjoyment and lasting benefit, many more thousands will for a hundred reasons be deprived of that pleasure. Everybody can't visit the fair, nor can all having worthwhile exhibits show them at Indianapolis. It would doubtless delight every rural family in Indiana to be able to spend two or three days at Indianapolis thi3 week, which is manifestly impossible. Failing in this the newspapers are the next best substitute. We may all read their stories and then let imagination have free play. To those familiar with the grounds and buildings a well-written newspaper report, especially if illustrated, will be nearly as satisfactory a; being present on the scene and be much less tiresome and expensive. So, then, staying at home also has its com pensations. As the great mass of us
will be among the absentees this week we shall have to content ourselves in
the usual way by enjoying the opportunities for rest and recreation right
at home. Saving the Fruit Crcp
The members of the New York state
farm bureau, and the various fruit growing associations , are putting on a statewide campaign to save as much of the peach, plum and pear crops as
possible. The danger of loss because
of early ripening and the car shortage
because of the strike conditions, is
the cause of this activity. In co
operation witi newspapers throughout the state motorists are being appealed to and urged to buy their fruit at the
farms on their trips through the coun try. The newspapers are being sup plied with publicity matter right alons and county farm bureaus are furnish
ing information as to where fruit can
be secured in the various counties. Thousands of city folk are motoring out long distances to buy fruit at a
saving. The Patterson Sale At the S. R. Patterson sale on his farm located three miles southwest of New Madison, in Preble county, last Friday, the well-improved 100-acre
place brought $10,550. The farm
chattels sold for about $1,000 making
the total net around $12,500. The realty was purchased by Frank Brooks a resident of Winchester, as cashier King, of the bank at New Madison, who made the settlements, relates. The offering included 10 cows and heifers, 17 hogs and four head of horses. The top horse, a 4-year old mare, sold for $150 and the top cow brought $71.50. Clover hay brought $S.75 and $9 in the mow and the 33 acres of standing corn brought from $10 to $15 per acre, being sold in three or four lots. The "Ladies Class" of the Whitewater church journeyed to Preble county to serve the much appreciated lunch. The ladies who served were: Mesdames Delia Kuhn, Frances Kirk-
man, Eva White, Minnie White, A. Niewoehner, Laura Freeman, Tessie Blose, Jennie Townsend, Ida Jones, G. Morgan, Ethel Townsend, and Miss Katherine Hammond. A large crowd was served and the ladies voted that they had a busy and profitable day. According to Professor C. G. Wil
liams of the Ohio Experiment Station, a test which has been running for seven years at the Wooster Station
seems to prove conclusively that, un
der the conditions of the test, a 2-12-2
fertilizer is the most profitable for
wheat
The test is located on a silt loam soil
and consists of an application of 1,000 pounds per acre of various fertilizers to a four year rotation of corn, oat3.
wheat and clover. The application is divided half for the corn and half for the wheat The net profits from 1,000 pounds
of the 2-12-2 fertilizer was $17.77 per acre for the rotation; a 4-12-2 made a net profit of $15.18 per acre and a
2-8-2, a net profit of $14.00 per acre. A thousand pounds of 16 per cent acid
phosphate gave a somewhat lower nJt profit No manure was used in these tests and all the crops were removed.
The Ton Litter Class
The first litter of hogs entered in the Indiana ton litter contest, to reach a ton, weighed 2,610 pounds at
the age of 6 months. They belong to
F. H. Norman of Macy, Miami county.
and at the age of 5 months and 6 days, tiped the scales at 2, 060, the first in the state over the top. There were eleven pigs in the litter and were sired by a pure-bred Chester White
boar. Mr. Norman kept them the sis mouths to see what he could make
them weigh. They were farrowed Feb
1, the day the contest started, and their final weight was given August 1, when they were six months old. Mr.
Norman will get one of the gold med
als offered by the Indiana Livestock
Breeder s association for the litters
that reached a ton in six months. At Grain and Hay Show Educational exhibits, under the aus
pices of the various state agricultural
colleges, will be a prominent part of the 1922 international grain and hay
show exhibit to be held at Chicago,
Dec. 2-9. Colleges from the following

tion for space; Nebraska, Minn., Wis
consin, Idaho, Michigan, Indiana, Lou

greatest showing of grains and forage crops that the state has at any time
previously assembled. Idaho will fea

land, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas
and Oklahoma.
County Agents Study Soil Indiana county agents recently held
a three-day conference at the exper
iment station at Lafayette for the exclusive study of soil and crop problems. 1 Over 70 of the 84 agents in the
state were in attendance, some were prevented from coming by chinch bug
outbreaks and other emergency mat
ters.
The meetine was held at the request
of the county agents themselves and was a success in every way. One entire day was spent at the-Wilson farm
in an intensive study of the spienaia soil and crop experiments that are being conducted there. The results from the outlying experiment fields were also presented by Professor Wiancko and his associates, so that each agent obtained valuable information applic
able to conditions in his county. Di
rector Ckristie is in hearty accord
with the plan announced to encourage county agents to pay more attention to soil fertility problems and urged
each man present to give this matter
an important place in his program of
activities.
