SUBSIDY FOR FARMERS Senator Ladd of North Dakota has introduced an amendment to the ship subsidy bill, to which he is opposed, which provides that the subsidy shall apply to depreciation on farms and to the reduction of taxes on the farmer's net income, as payable to the government. The ship subsidy bill provides for a special depreciation allowance on ships in computing income and government taxes and it is Mr. Ladd's suggestion that a similar subsidy be passed along to farmers. Here is the Ladd amendment: "That in case of farms owned and operated by citizens of the United States or leased by citizens of the United States there shall be a leasonable allowance tor exhaustion, wear and tear, and depreciation which shall be determined and allocated to the years in which sustained, under rules and regulations prescribed by the secretary of agriculture. "In the case of farms so owned, leased or rented, acquired after Aug. 1, 1914, and prior to Jan. 1, 1922, there shall be a reasonable deduction for the exceptional decrease in value thereof since the date of acquisition as a deduction in computing net income." To offer an amendment, and to secure its incorporation in a bill before congress, are two entirely different

propositions. Should the secretary of

agricultute be actually empowered to carry out the provisions of the Ladd amendment he would need a whole lot more hired meu on his staff and have them scattered all over the map, with headquarters in all the states. We see no other way to get the figures officially presented, so that income rebates or refunds could be made on past payments, or credited on future payments of income taxes.

L. E. Thorne. county agent for Miami county, recently resigned to become field representative of a milk company, and has been succeeded by F. S. Galey, of Crawfordsville. Wayne Ton-Litter Club The Hoosier Ton-Litter club has rules and regulations which are as binding as the "laws of the Medes and Persians," which may not be altered. Now, igonranee of the law excuses no man, nor does ignorance of the club rules excuse any aspirant for tonlitter honors. If you desire to get into this contest, you can obtain the official rules and regulations at the county agent's office, or they will be nrailed to you on request. Mr. Dolan says that registrations should be in his office by January 23. One of the prerequisites of the TonLitter club is that the contestants must join the Indiana Breeders' association fee 50 cents by Januarv 31.

The enrollment in this club for 1923

is expected 1o be very large, as the club is a state-wide proposition. Corn Growing Medalists

Referring to the five-acre corn con

test in Indiana in 1922. Purdue reports

that a total of 499 contestants completed the test and that 59 produced 100 or mere bushels to the acre, thus becoming eligible for membership in the 100-bush?l corn club. This showing is considered exceptionally good, in view of the druuth in several parts of Indiana last summer. The corn growers' association is presenting bronzs, silver and gold medals to the winners at Purdue at this time, this being farmers' short course week. The average yields for all 499 contestants is 79 bushels per acre, and for the medal winners 88 bushels. This is extremely high when checked

against the state average of "1 bushels per acre. Hoyt Hardin, of Henry county, winner in 1921. with a return of 120.6, carries off the prize again for 1922. with an official production of 127 bushels per acre from river bottom soil. A Progressive Policy In a recent editorial on the future outlook of the farmer, the Breeders' Gazette cites what is being outlined in the way of betterment, notably in

Illinois. The editor states that: "One of the encouraging signs of the oncoming of better days for farmers and everybody else who is engaged in a useful occupation is the growing sentiment for the formulation, development and application of state agricultural policies. Illinois, we believe, may be credited with leadership in this realm of genuine statesmanship. Politicians have not had anything to do with it. President David Kinley, of the University of Illinois, and former Dean Eugene Davenport and his

successor. Dean Herbert w . Munitorci, of the agricultural colloge of the university, are the joint fathers of the idea in Illinois. "It is planned to work out and gradually apply a definite, progressively broadening agricultural policy which, during ihe next 15 to 25 years, shall place Illinois agriculture upon the soundest basis that can be established by science and the co-operation of farmers. The policy will emphasize positive factors in bringing about the changes deemed necessary to the evolution of a strong and durable agriculture. "The machinery with which to actualize an agricultural policy in Illinois exists. It consists of the local farm bureaus, farmers' institutes, public schools, boys and girls' clubs, country ministers, chambers of commerce, and some other agencies. "Indiana and Utah are each considering the creation and adoption of a state agricultural policy. Perhaps lead

ers in the land-grant colleges and farmers' organizations in other states are

thinking in the same vein. It is certain that they will be, as the idea be-1 gins to take definite form in Illinois and Indiana." Record-Breaking Cows The breaking of milk and butterfat production records is interesting and instructive, as indicating one of the chief effects of selective breeding and skillful feeding, but many leaders in dairy cattle breeding, and in the affairs of dairy stock pedigree registry associations express the opinion that excessive zeal for new records may do more harm than good. It is the average yearly production by herds, rather than the sensational record of individual cows here and there, which respected counsellors in the ranks of dairy cattle breeders regard as worthy of special consideration and emphasis. The decline in wheat prices at central markets in recent days has cut the buying prices in Richmond and at local country points. Charles Carpenter, of the Richmond Roller Mills, took off a nickle on Wednesdav bv re

ducing his buying price from $1.30 to j $1.25 for No. 2 wheat. j Life of Weed Seeds How long w ill weed seeds retain their life in the soil? This question I is asked by Albert A. Hansen, of the

Purdue experiment station, who goes

on to state that this is a puzzling question to most farmers and thtt the answer is "particularly important in dealing with annual weeds, such as ragweed, wild corn, bracted plaintain. corn cockle, Russian thistle and prickly lettuce, and with biennial weeds, as winter cress, wild carrot, bull thistle and mullein. It is impossible to completely destroy these weeds until all the seeds have died or sprouted and the resulting plants have been killed. "The longest lived seeds among our common weeds are those of shoofly and the Indian mallow or butterprint weed, which have been known to retain their viability in the soil for 57 years. A number of weed seeds may live 1n the soil for 25 years, including common amaranth, black mustard, shepherd's purse, peppergrass, Mayweed or dog fennel, evening primrose, puslane, curled or yellow dock, foxtail and mullein. The following weed seeds, however, are comparatively short lived in the soil, all of them dying before five years: Ragweed, fireweed, doorweed or spurge, cockle and most of the seeds of broadleaf plain-tain."

The Wearing Away Process

"And be not conformed to this world: be ye transformed by th renewing of jour mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and, acceptable, and perfect, will of God."- Romans 12:2.

DROP of water continually dropped upon the hardest piece of granite will finally wear it away. The process of disintegration is so slow and consistent that the wearing away goes almost unnoticed from

day to day or month to month, but finally it accomplishes its work. So it is with the selfishness in the world from which all evil actions spring. Our entire life is a struggle between selfishness and unselfishness. Selfishness pulls us down and unselfishness lifts us up. The forces of selfishness are constantly wearing awav our character and ideals, and will finally overcome us un-

less there is some strong opposing force. This opposing force is the church. The life of Christ was an exemplification of unselfishness. The teachings of all denominations in the Christian religion are those of unselfishness. The church is putting out to the world constructive thoughts and suggestions by which we may be strengthened in our effort to be less selfish, to live the life which leads to happiness and contentment of mind. Select a Church and then Support It By Your Attendance This advertisement is paid for by a group of men who have been personally benefited by religion - and believe the churches represent the greatest force for good.
