WEATHER IN AUGUST CAUSES DECLINE IN CORN CROP ESTIMATE The unusually .hot, dry weather of AugUBt together -with some storm and hail damage, caused a decline in the Indiana corn crop of 6,500,000 bushels for the month, according to the monthly report issued today ty George C. Bryant, statistician for the co-operative crop reporting service for Indiana. Some of the other crops also show a decline in condition but fruit crops generally were not affected. The report follows: , The corn condition throughout the - state Is somewhat spotted, wide variation existing even in the same counties, with the state average at 82

per cent of normal on Sept 1. This is 2 points higher than for the same date last year, and 3 points below Aug. 1 condition. A total production of 177,782,00 bushels Is indicated at this time compared with 184.2S7.0OO bushels shown for August and 169, 848,000 bushels harvested last year. ' Bottom Land Good Bottom land corn generally 13 very good, but much of the crop on high lands and candy soil is badly fired and not worth much as a grain crop. In the northwestern part of the state considerable storm damage is apparent and in the east central part hail did quite a bit of damage in connection with the storm. Much of the crop will : be out of the way of frost in another : ten days of favorable weather but . some of the late planted will require three to four weeks. Silo filling is . progressing very rapidly in most places. : ' v The condition of spring wheat In the state was 65 per cent of normal at time of harvest and indicates a total production of 65,000 bushels compared with 62.000 bushels shown for August and 48,000 bushels harvested last year. - Oats 49 Per Cent Normal The condition of oats in Indiana at . time of harvest was 49 per cent of normal and Is probably the smallest crop produced in the state in many years. On this figure a total production of 33,000,000 bushels is indicated compared with 33,276,000 bushels shown for August and 45,072,000 busb r els harvested last year. The September figure does not take Into consideration the abandoned arceage, the acreage cut for hay crop or pastured. The condition of barley in Indiana , at time of harvest was 53 per cent

cf normal and indicates a total produc ticn of 917,748 bushels which does

not take into consideration abandoned

acreage, the acreage cut for hay or

pastured. The August estimate was 944,000 bushels and last year's harvest amounted to 1,235.000 bushels. The condition of buckwheat in In

diana September 1, was 78 per cent of

normal, which is five points under last month's figure. From this 2gure

Little Unemployment In

Canada Reported In 1922 OTTAWA, Ont, Sept 11. Reports from all over Canada indicate little

unemployment, according to tha government service at present. A scarcity of labor, it is said, is developing in several lines of industry. There has been some apprehension over the possibility of unemployment next winter but the activity in industry generally at present has convinced those In close touch with the situation to think winter unemployment will be of such minor consequence as to Tarnish no problem.

The Farm and the Farmei By William R. Sanborn

a total production of 100,620 bushels is estimated, compared with 105,000 bushels shown for August and 114,000 bushels harvested last year.The condition of white potatoes declined six points during the month and was estimated at 67 per cent of

normal on September X, which indi

cates a total production of 5,536,000 bushels, compared with 5,676,000 bushels shown for August and 3,570,000 bushels harvested last year;

The estimated production of sweet potatoes in Indiana September 1, amounted to 332,000 bushels, compared with 331,000 bushels shown for August, and 396,000 bushels harvested

last year.

The average yield per acre Of all tame hay in Indiana this year wai

1.37 tons and for wild hay it was 125

tons. On this basis a total crop of

3,256.000 tons of tame hay and 26,000 tons of wild hay is estimated compared with 2,429,000 tons of tame hay and 22,000 tons of wild hay produced last year. ...... Number of Hogs The number of "hogs on Indiana farms for fattening September 1, amounted to 3,549,000 head, compared with 3,226,000 head on hand test. year. The condition of apples in Indiana September 1, was 70 per cent of normal and indicates a total production of 4,462,000 bushels. " Peaches showed a total production of 93 per cent of normal which indicates a total crop of 651,000 bushels. The condition of pears was 80 per cent of normal and indicates a total crop of 312,000 bushels. The condition of pastures in Indiana' declined 10 points during the month and is estimated at 71 per cent of normal September 1. The condition of other state crops compared with normal on September 1, was as follows: Millet, 83 per cent; grain sorghum, 83 per cent; field peas, 88 per cent; field beans, 90 per cent; tomatoes, 90 per cent; cabbages, 83 per cent; onions, 86 per cent; grapes, 93 per cent; broomcorn, 82 per cent: sorghum cane, 83 per cent; sugar beets, 82 per cent. Watermelons and cantaloupes show a total production compared with normal of 88 and 89

per cent, respectively, witn an increase in the watermelon acreage of

10 per cent over last year and an increase of 6 per cent in the cantaioupe acreage.

PORK-EATING CAMPAIGN A writer in the Farm Bureau Weekly flews Letter, says: "All indications are that hogs will reach a lower price level this year than last, and that the surplus pork production will be harder to take care of than it was last winter." And for this reason he advocates an "Eat More Pork" campaign. He does not recommend that this campaign be put on while It is 90 in the shade; for fear of being mobbed. He Is talking, about the coming winter and relates a little story of a local campaign put on In a Missouri county last winter. The experiment was tried out in Livingston county and was promoted by the farm bureau and the county agent. So well did the

campaign pan out that County Agent Forrester believes "that It should bo tried out in every hog raising county." Mr. Forrester says that the farm bureau established' a retail meat market "to deliver large pieces, such as hams, sides and shoulders, at a low price." The farm bureau loaned a revolving fund of $200; hired a farmer to kill and dress the hogs, render the lard and make the delivery of the meat to the market. It Is further related that the pork was furnished consumers at half to two-thirds of the prices charged by the local meatmarket men, until a little later the

butchers came down to the same price. The farmers market ran ads in the three local papers for the four winter months. The marketing was inexpensively handled, and at tbe same time the farmers received more money for their hogs than could have been obtained by shipping. Sales Were Increased. "It was not our intention to make money on our operations here," said Mr. Forrester. "On the other hand, there was practically no chance for loss. One of the local butchers was quite panicky . when we started this market, and made the threat that he would break the concern. We sent him word that it was broke to start with and there was no chance for loss in the operation. After the flat month the local butcher got it out of his head that his business was going to be hurt, and some of the more fairminded men could see that the fact that meat was being advertised all the time really increased their sales.

We asked the county agents of two

adjoining counties which . had towns about the size of Chillicothe to make

an investigation to ascertain whether their butchers sold more meat than in previous years. From all information obtainable both the county agents re-

Dorted less sales in the winter of 19-21

and 1922 than in previous years. Our

butchers increased their sales." . Busy at Silo . Filling.

O. G. Hunt, of the Whitewater cooperative ring, said on Monday that

his group had filled four silos last week, one on each of his two farms, and one each on the Grover Morgan and David Weller places. Mr. Hunt says that one of his silos is a 12 x 51 structure, holding 175 tons, while the smaller one contains 75 tons. Frank Hodgin is in this ring and ,he also has a 176 ton silo to be filled thi3 week. Harry Wright, Isaac Ramey, and Carl Hartman belong to the Whitewater ring, and the latter, now living on the K. D. Cofield place, is among those erecting new silos this year. The Hartman silo is-of cement stave construction, of 12x45 feet dimensions. '

Mr. Hunt is a' cattle feeder, and

says corn, is now getting into fair

snape lor nis use. h rjivb that rinirv.

men usually favor greener corn for

suage tnan ao tne feeders ; but his own objection to cutting the corn too green is that it is watery and the

water contains a lot of acid. He

says, too, that their silo operations are not to interfere with their showing at the fair, or taking it all in and having

a gooa, sociaDie time. What Do You Think?

Timothy Cloverseed, the well known fanner, who is counting on spending

ail tnree days at the fair, called on us j ..www .

ivionaay, ana jasKea "would a rose by any other name smell as wheat? Frankly, we don't know, but have

made an oat of it. Next.

This year's wheat crop yielded 32.7

bushels per acre where it followed soy beans and 20 bushels on corn ground on the Purdue university experiment

farm at Lafayette, with similar ferti

nation on both strips. For the last

seven years wheat yields, have - av

eraged 30.4bushels after soy beans.

ana za.z Dusneis after corn, a differ

ence in favor of the soy bean ground of 5.2 bushels per acre. On the Hunt-

ington experiment field last year,

wheat after soy beans yielded 32.2

bushels; after corn, 26.6, . and after

oats,'. 24.2 bushels with similar fertilization. " ;

The soy bean is an ideal crop to

precede wheat in the rotation. It leaves the ground clean for working.

witn enougn stubble to help .hold win

ter snows. By using a variety that is

early enough for a given section and seeding them early, they may be removed either for hay or seed in plenty

of time for wheat seeding. In preparing the seed bed for wheat the soy bean stubble is given a thorough but

shallow disking and worked down with the drag or harrow. Where the beans are not threshed the straw may be scattered back on the wheat as a top dressing during the winter. Clyde M. Reed, of the Kansas Util

ities commission, declares his belief that Kansas should construct and op

erate elevators for the storage of Kan

sas wheat. His belief is founded upon his experience of three years of the

annual breakdown of the car service.

Mr. Reed owns the Parsons Sun, in

which he says: "Wheat is the princi

pal cash crop of this state. Kansas produces more wheat than any other

state more. wheat in fact than any

other similar area In-the world; our

crop for the past five years, including the present crop, aggregates 659,000,-

ooo bushels. This week wheat is sell

ing from the farm at 70 cents to 80

cents a bushel, which is less than the

cost of production. 'The state cannot continue to 'prosper with its principal grain production on this basis.

"The harvesting of the wheat crop

of this nation covers a period of about

100 days, but it represents food for the world for 12 months. While the wheat is waiting to be ground into flour and made into bread it must be stored

somewhere. These are the places of

storage: the. wheat stack, the farm

grainary, the country elevator, the terminal elevator,, the flour mill, the

flour storage warehouse." Wheat Market Highly Organized.

"The wheat market probably is the most highly organized of any system

of commerce by which a staple article is taken from the producer and dis

tributed to consumers all over the

world. But in the accretion in price

Detween tne producer and the consumer, which is frequently very great, the Kansas wheat producer has no share. Today the Kansas farmer is

selling his wheat at less than his pro

duction cost for two reasons: "First Because he cannot finance the holding of it for a fairer market.

"Second Because there is no place

where he can store it and not lose control of his product, even if he could finance himself.

State Should Build Elevators. "It is our belief that there should

be built in the wheat belt central elevators with sufficient capacity to re

lieve the glut which now attends the marketing of every crop. These elevators should be public warehouses where the individual or the co-operative society could store grain and receive a certificate which would be colleteral at the bank. Only recently the War Finance corporation loaned $2,500,000 to a Kansas co-operative

organization on such securlity. And because there seems to be no other way, we believe that these elevators should be built and operated by the state."

SWEDES USE AUTOMOBILES STOCKHOLM, Sept. 11. Sweden today counts 40,000 automobiles, according to recent statistics, double the number in use two years ago. Stockholm alone has 5,000 cars. Swedish farmers, formerly hostile to the invasion, have become reconciled and are buying cars.

Japan's Aviation Toll t j

In Last Year Was time. CBy Associated Press) TOKIO. Sept 1L During the past year in Japan nine aviators were klll ed and 25 wounded In 39,371 flights, the gross mileage of which wa 312 960. These statements were Issued by the aviation department of the wai office and include naval, military and civilian fliers in reply to complainta that accidents had been frequent ol late. These accidents, it is explained, were due to adverse atmospheric con ditions above the central districts oi the country during spring and rammer. "As a whole, airplane accidents In this country are by no means so numerous as the recent frequency ol accidental falls is apt to lead the people to believe," says the report.

DONT SPOIL YOUR CHILD'S HAIR BY WASHING IT

When you wash your child's hair be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too muca alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use -is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It is very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. Two or three teaspoonfuls of lulsitied in a cup or glass with a littlo warm water is all that is required. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rubs out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and .s soft, fresh looking, bright.fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides it loosens and taKes out every particle of dust dirt and dandruff. You can get Mulsified at any drug store, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months.. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. Advertisement.
