over the state to study the latest in modern farming practices and to hear a discussion of the farm

outlook for the coming months. The latter will be a feature of the annual banquet of the Indiana Farm Management Association which will be held in St. Mary's School Auditorium at Rushville, Monday evening, July 21, beginning at 7:00 o'clock, Daylight Saving Time. Preceding the banquet the visiting farm people will have an opportunity to inspect a co-oper-, ative alfalfa dehydrating plant in Rushville. The farm four will begin at 9:00 o'clock, Daylight Saving Time, Tuesday morning, July 22, at the Arthur Toms farm two miles south and east of Lewisville on U. S. Route 40 where farmers will see the results of a good, sound family-size hog and beef farm business within the reach of most farmers. . . From the Toms farm, the tour, will move south to the Don Martin farm four miles west of

Clarksburg, in Decatur County, where an old fashioned Southern Indiana style barbecue will be

held. Principal speaker for the noon session will be Dr. O. B. Jesness, head of the department of agricultural economics, Uni-

Swift, comfortable, reliable travel by rail is no .news. Even the vast forces of Nature seldom ruffle the smooth flow of passengers and freight. - , 4 These virtues are no accident. For under the wheels of your speeding train and along the right-of-way that rushes silently past your window, the Illinois Central last year spent $100,000 every 24 hours for up-keep of rails and ties and signals, bridges and buildings and ballast, and many other ite,ms that stand still that the trains may move swiftly and safely. The Illinois. Central, and other railroads, pay their own highway up-keep and for all other facilities, besides, and still contribute their full share of taxes that keep governTnents, both state and local, going. ':; Last .year, the Illinois Central spent 36 million dollars on maintenance of way and structures. We know this money is well spent. For the steel highway is the foundation of ; our firm determination to continue to earn your friendship and patronage. ' ,' ; : ;: :

The Good Old Days! How Mother hated that daily chore of cleaning and filling lamps'. Do you remember the fire-runs from icy bedroom to the solitary stove in the living room? Or vice-versa? Those were the days when the Morris chair suddenly and unexpqct edly let its back all the way down when you leaned back in it. .The gigantic horn of the gramaphone took up all, one side of the room. And Dad wore Congress gaiters. Gone forever and good riddance! A map drawn to. a . scale of population instead of acres is very interesting. New York is the largest, of course; Pennsylvania and California are next, with Illinois running neck and neck. Ohio and Texas, follow. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico coyer hardly enough space to hold their names. Rhode Island is almost as large as Maine. - .' . . .

When the Tops of Onions Grow

Are Ready Onion sets produce in three weeks the young green onions which' it would take twice as long to grow from seed. This is usually the first harvest. from the home garden. It is difficult to imagine a garden without onions. ; As- a flavor for other foods they are almost as important .as salt." Sets are really dormant plants already sorted, which will produce a harvest of either green or-mature onions in a fraction of the time it would take to grow from seed. From 15 to 30 pounds of, large onions can be grown from a pound of onion sets which do not average over three-quarters of an inch in diameter." -. ? - 'i ' . - To grow large onions, use the smallest sets, planted an inch deep. To grow spring onions, select the larger sets and place thenutwo or three inches deep. - -. V . ; - The smaller sets do not make seed stalks, but devote their energy to maturing a bulb, which will keep well in storage, even in a- warm basement. The larger sets send up an edible stalk in quiclr time, and the deeper thsy are planted, the longer will be the stalk. '. .

They should be fresh and green when you plant them, aad should not be set out for a week or. two after your garden soil has been prepared. Space them four inches apart - in the row.. Onion plants can be grown easily in an, indoor seed box, and set out in the garden when the soil is ready, and the plants art large enough to handle. ' Green or mature onions may be grown from seeds. Sow fairly thickly, cover half an inch, and thin Out the young plants early. If you are growing for green onions,, space them an- inch' apart.-. As they attain a usable size they can be used, and plants may: be, left standing four inches apart to mature. .
