GOOD HOG FORAGE CROP FOR SPRING AND FALL CAN BE HAD FROM RYE Many of Indiana's brt hog men have found rye one of the most satisfactory crops to plant to supply late fall and early sprihe hog foracre, according to the division of animal husbandry of the Purdue xtension department. It fan also be- pastured during the open weather cf winter wh-n the ground Lf tirm enough not to be injured by trampling. For fall forage, rye should be planted during the latter part of Au?ut whenever the moisture conditions nre suitable. Ground may be plowed or the rye may be drilled Ixtwn the corn rows with a onehorse drill. For winter and spring use it may be sn.vn up to Oct 1. or oer. later in th- southern part of the p;ate. Piepire th ground ns for wheat and drill six to eii;ht pecks of seed r acre. Rye is ready to pasture when it is four to five inohes high. An acre will supply ample foray f.,- ci.:ht to 10 or more mature hoi,s. Care fhould bo exercised durire the fall, winter .and spring months not to jJlow the animals to injure the ground by trampling drring rainy and thawir.g weather.

This little pig is not "going to market;" it's going to the Interstate fair. Pork chops cost so much nowadays that pig -raising has become a very profitable pursuit, with boys and girls, as well as with the fathers. There will be a splendid swine exhibit at Springbrook park during the fair, Sept. 9-13. Many exhibits of pa rticular ' interest to children have been secured. Making the rounds of the county last week, Pres't George Y. Hepler discovered a mother goat with a '"quartet." four "babies," born at the same time. This family, and many other flocks of goats, sheep and lambs, will be at the fair. Another novel exhibit will be a herd of Indiana raised deer. Thes-1 beautiful animals, including several young fawns, will interest the little folks. I 11.

In the majority of cases where alfalfa is sown for the first time, it will need to be innoculated by some articlal means, is the statement of alfalfa specialists of the extension department of Purdue university. Like other legumes, this crop requires for its proper development, certain species of bacteria which work on the roots an! gather nitrogen from the atmosphere. If these bacteria are not present, the alfalfa will have to depend on the supply in the soil for its nitrogen and this is usually not suthcient to insure a thrifty growth. The surest and most practical course to follow in innoculating the alfalfa seed is to seciire some soil from an old. wcll-innoculatei. alfalfa field, or from a place where sweet clover is growing and use this in the process. Care should be taken to avoid transfer of weed seeds or plant diseases when, t is soil is being taken. It should be unnecessarily exposed to the sun as this will kill the bacteria. When the seed is ready to sow. the simplest procedure to follow is to mix a gallon or so of the fresh soil with every bushel of the seed. MoKtrn With Solution. If the soli is dry. it will insure all seeds becoming coated wit a thin coveiir.g of soil if they are moistened with a weak solution of glue or sugar. Innoeulation mav also be

When alfalfa is seeded on wheat in winter, it may be innoculated by broadcasting 200 or S00 pounds per acre of fresh, innoculated soil after growth is well started in the spring. This should be done jutt before or during a rain. Information concerning alfalfa questions may be obtained by writing to the department of agricultural extension, urdue university. senrn ijvk stock.

PRICE FEAR MAY ' CAUSE SHORTAGE i

j Hoosier Expert Says Farmers Hesitate to Plant, Expecting Reduction. H.f T'nitrd Prrm : LAFAYETE. Ind., Aug. 2?,. Farmers of tho state are hesitating to sow a norma', acreage of wheat and rye because th fear a reduction in prices next year. G. I. Christie, director of the state food committee, said In a telegram to Sec'y of Agriculture Houston. Friday. Christie asked the secretary for a program he can recommend to the farmers. The telegram, which was approved by Gov. Goodrich, said: "Discussion on the high cost of living and the drive for reduced prices is causing nlany farmers to hesitate on plans for fall planting of wheat and rye and feeding livestock. Conferences with farmers indicate sales of fertilizer are slow and much reduced and that trie acreage of wheat will be far belownormal unless the present attitude of farmers is changed. The state food committee has considered nroblems and feels that farmers should pl'in to sow normal acreage of wheat and rye. The committee desires a statement from you of a desirable plan of procedure in what lines farmers should follow." Auten W. II. C. will give a picnic for all members of the G. A.
