DISEASE CONTROL NETS LARGE CROP RETURNS

A three-day short course which was recently held at Hourbon, in Marshall county, was attended by an average of 1 2i farmers at each session, according to a report of County Apent V. V. Clarke. A rromest for a similar line of work for next year has been made bv the farmers.

That control of various plant diseases will aid materially in increasing crop production in Indiana, was brought out recently at u conference of apricultural extension workers at Purdue university. The extension workers and farmers at the conference advocated that the formaldehyde treatment be continued for oats and wheat seed, that the hot water seed treating method be employed more widely, that precautions be exercise. 1 by eradicatinp corn diseases, and that potato and cabbape crops be improved by following better methods. Formaldehyde treatment for the prevention of oats smut and the stinking smut oi wheat lias been practiced in most counties of tho state and because, of the success that has come from the use of this treatment it is desired to continue it, until it becomes a fixed practice with prain prowers of the state. The hot water treatment also has brought

i rt suits w hich make it advisable to jiecommend this treatment for prac

tice in every section of the state.

Atvordinp to the Purdue specialist, this treatment coupled with the seed plot method of selectirp seed pives the prower an unequalled opportunity of se-curinp hiqh prade seed free from smut, cheat, cockle, rye and other impurities which decrease the yield ami reduce the value of the prain.

STATE CORN GROWERS AFTER MEMBERSHIPS

In !.u of enojui ipinp nov industry and to materially assist present industry in ariel form h well commercial, agricultural, entrineerinp and individual endeavor, it is intensely essential that a cOmpb-te toporaj)hical survey of Indiana b-' made and a maj s itinp forth facts in minute detail compiltd, .irpru'S Ifr. Y. M. Iman, state j:eolopist and professor in economic p-olo.y at Indiana university, in a report to tho department of conservation. '"The necessity for a comjilete topopraphic .survey of Indiana seems to me imperative," says Dr. Ixpan. 'Almost every line of industrial dewdopment utilizing the natural resources of the state are dependent upon some information contained in the topographic map and where such Information is not at hand, it must be obtained at preat expense and generally to the discouragement oi industry." Indiana had not inVestcd any money in topopraphic mapping until in l'jlt) when maps were compiled of .". square miles each in tlie counties of Lawrence and Martin. This in face of the fact that Ohio has been (omjdetely majjped and all of the surroundinp states have larye areas mapped. I'roont Njcm. In many instances now the facts presented by the topopraphic map must be secured for the same area by several industries or departments. This duplication of work is far more expensive than the cost of the mapping which provides lata in a permanent form accessible to all departments and industries. For instance in the same area the farmer may wish to drain his land, or secure a supidy of deep well water; the county or state to build a road; the. miner to locate the dejnh of a coal bed; the quarryman to quarry stone; the railroad to build a spur or extend its main line; the homeseekcr to hiiy a farm; the tax commission to equalize taxes on land; the assessor to determine a correct valuation;' tish and Kanie department to prevent the useless draining of valuable Liks; the meteorologist to determine areas saib.iect to early or late trosts; the geologist, to tn.ip the Keolo7ica.l strata; the soil expert to myp the soils; the tourist to travel; the sipht-seer to locate points of interest; the instructor to teach local peoyraphy; the military collete to Uach military tactics; the forester to locate existing forests and lands suitable for forests all must use the data which is presented by the topographic map. Ixcato. HoumLarioi The topographical map a.s proposed for Indiana locates the boundaries or sections, townshiis and counties. It locates the towns, cities, even streets in the cities in their proper position. It locates roads, wapon and rail, churches, school houses, mines and quarries, bridges and streams. It locates lakes, ponds and marshes. It distinguishes level lands from rouph lands, and bottom lands fiom hih Lands, and .shows by means of conteur lines the elevation of the land area above sea level and above or below neighboring la mis. Tlie cost of mapping the average l.'-foot quadrangle in Indiana is about $6,000. The cost is least in the level areas such as exist in the piaciated portion of the .-täte and highest in the uncrlaciated area where the topography is more rupPed and forests more abundant. By cooperating with the United States peolopical survey half the expense of the mapping will bo borne by tho federal government. The government also will pay the expense of printing the maps.
