The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
A BEAUTIFUL SETTING We shall make no attempt to tell
WVMi J Ui Lll TV a J U7 lull t UA uv now. That story Is told with a wealth of detail elsewhere in this number; a story which will be further amplified on Friday, and again on Saturday, when the last chapter covering all awards not previously printed will be given, also a report of the closing scenes on Friday night. The Wayne fair has an ideal setting, Try X f nVtlaaa w a KaliovA In .tKia on t rO
, country. Glen Miller park presents a scene of natural beauty; it is shaded by great tree3 and its open spaces are adorned with giant beds of flowers, now in a riot of color. Its wooded
hills, its playgrounds, its miniature
'. lake and flowing stream are all famil
iar, as are its winding roadways and
shady nooks.
This favorite playground has not
upon by the tented shows and conces
sions, nearly all of which are located
m Roosevelt field, in the western sec
tion of the park. From the top of the
hilL looking east, one glimpses the
whole panorama of the show grounds
Beyond the show spaces and across ,the little, never-failing brook, rises a wealth of ereen. It is a woodland
' scene which, viewed from the adminis
tration tent, seems to stretch away to the east, like a great forest, shutting
out the scenes beyond.
But it takes more than an ideal set-
' ting to make an attractive and sue
- cessful fair, such as now is in progress
; at Glen Miller. Wayne county may -well be proud of its 1922 fair, the fore
runner, let us hope, of an unbroken
series of annual events. What has been accomplished in so short a time
and in spite of so many difficulties;
can bo built on a broader foundation
from year to year. This is the idea and purpose back of the present show.
" Much credit is due the citizens who
ment, men who have given of their
time and means, freely and without
stint. Credit To Exhibitors.
Nor must we omit a word of praise for the exhibitors. It takes time and work and planning to properly prepare ' a live stock exhibit for the fair, and very little time was allowed for that
purpose in this instance. It was a hur
ry-up order all 'round and that so many
so quickly and.satisfactorilly respond
ed is greatly to their credit. . The farmers entered into the spirit of the
affair whole heartedly. Every depart
ment is full to overflowing and the
showing is worth going miles to see The pig club youngsters had, of course looked forward to some sort of a show
some time aunng tne rail, and were
prepared to meet competition with each other at the drop of a hat. Not so with the average exhibitor, however. A Splendid Show Taken as a whole it is a good show, splendidly and accessibly located. That thousands are looking it over and enjoying it is to be understood. Thursday is the "big day" at all such affairs, but we are of the opinion that Friday will also be a big day on this
particular occasion. If you have overlooked the fair thus far, join thehosts that wfll gather at Glen Miller park on Friday. You will find the exhibits,
concessions and musical program real
ly worth while. It is the kind of o
fair and program that one can enjoy, even on the second or third visit.
Exhibitors of fine cattle will be grat
ified at studying the latest live stock market reports, by'learnlng that good
steers have reached a new high level
at all killing centers. In Chicago on
Tuesday, for example, a bunch of
1.532 pound steers sold at $11.35, the highest figure of the year. This price was also reached on Wednesday, when
top hogs brought $9.80 against $9.75 at Indianapolis. !
Watch Fly-Free Dates W. P. Flint, Illinois state entomolo
gist, reports that hg, has just com
pleted nis annual survey or tne entire
state to determine the degree of Hess
ian fly infestation. He finds that the
pest, is present in fewer numbers than
last year.
There is an encouraging note in his report. He says that serious damage is not to be anticipated by the Hess
ian fly this season, even though wheat is seeded early. But he warns grain
growers that early seeding will tend to bring hack the fly next year or the year following. Judging from experiments, he does not find that early seeding of wheat increases the yield. L.ate seeding and parasites of the fly are the two chief aids for ridding farmers of this pest. The parasites that attack the Hessian fly are much
mere abundant this fall than usual. In the northern part of the state many counties show from 70 to 75 per cent of all flax seeds a stage in the Hessian fly's life cycle to be parasitized. A Missouri Jersey Record (Oxford Gipsey Girl, a senior three-ysar-old, owned by C, M. Walbridge of Independence, Missouri, is at the
top of the list of Jersey cows officially tested in the State, according to G. W. Turner of the Missouri College off Agriculture, for she recently completed the production of 10,017 pounds off milk and 614.65 qounds of fat As a junior two-year-old a year ago she won a high place in the list of Register of Merit records in this class producing 8,385.0 pounds of milk and 514.65 pounds of fat. Selling Quality Milk By. guaranteeing the quality of their product and by eliminating duplication of effort and waste of time 180 farmers in Buchanan County, Missouri, sold more than a million pounds of milk in St. Joseph during the month of July.
Their organization is called the St. Joseph Milk Producers association and
their product, according to John Sheay, extension marketing specialist is absolutely standardized under a "Triple A" brand thrice guaranteed by producer, association and distributor. The product is supplied to 52 distributors. The farmers are paid ISc', per gallon for their milk, yet the price to the consumer Is no higher than in many cities of the Middle West where the milk producers are unorganized and receive only 12 to 15 cents a gallon. The cost of operating the St. Joseph organization is cent per gallon. The 180 farmers in the association constitute approximately 90 per cent, of the milk producers in the St. Joseph territory. Corn Safe From Frost In the opinion of leadine farmers.
some of whom are now feeding new
corn, the bulk of our corn is out of danger of frost. And this also is true of most of the corn in the corn states. A telegram dated at Sioux City, Iowa,
on Wednesday, said: "The corn crop of northwest Iowa, northeast Nebraska and South Dakota is well advanced
and practically safe from damage by frost, according to experts. Light frosts have fallen during the last two or three nights in northern and more exposed sections, but no damage has
Deen aone. The corn crop in this territory will be average or above, ex
cept in a few sections of South Dako
ta and northern Nebraska, where dry weather and high temperatures did material damage and reduced the
yields somewhat. The potato crop is
tne heaviest in many years. The late
hay crop and all fruit crops are heavy."
