WINTER WHEAT IS IN GOOD SHAPE The condition of winter wheat in Indiana is reported by the farmers as 89 per cent of normal or 14 points above the ten year average. The condition rose one point from Dec. 1, while the average change in this period is a decline of 12 ponits. Last year, the condition was only 29 per cent. These facts were revealed in the April crop report released recently by M. M. Justin, agricultural statistician of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The April 1 condition of winter wheat for the United States was 87.2 normal compared to 38.8 in 1928. and the ten year average of 80.9. The decline since Dec. 1 was 1.7 points while the average decline for the period is 2.3 points.. The northwest district is the only one enough below the state average to note. In this district enough abandonment is expected in Lake, Porter and in Stark counties to make the probable abandonment as great as the ten year average. In the other districts abandonment is expected to be slight. Rye shows the same condition as last December, 89 per cent of normal. The average change is seven points decline from December to April. Last year the April condition was 56 and the ten year average is 84. No districts depart widely from the state average this season. Pasture condition is 89 compared with 71 last year and the five year average of 78. Comments show that clover came through the winter exceptionally well. — o TARRIFF WILL PROLONG SESSION, IS FORECAST The extraordinary session of the Seventy-first Congress, that convened last Monday, may be expected to last all summer, is the prediction of Senator Watson. newly appointed majority leader in the Senate. Senator Watson discussed the general legislative situation March 23 with President Hoover. Although leaders in the Senate and House hope to limit the work of the extra session, said Senator Watson, to farm relief, tariff revision,- and possibly reapportionment and census legislation, he expressed the opinion that the tariff bill probably would not be reported to the Senate by June 20. o CREOSOTE SAVES POSTS Fence posts and other 'farm timbers given preservative treatment with coal-tar creosote will often last five or ten times as long as they would untreated. Treatment of wood, says the Forest Service in Washington, may thus mean considerable saving in the cost of farm operations. Wood decay runs up the farm expenses by requiring frequent replacement of farm timbers. * o * NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Notice is hereby given that the undersigned has been appointed by the Clerk of the Kosciusko Circuit Court, in the State of Indiana, Administrator of the estate of JOHN KAUFFMAN late of Kosciusko County, deceased.

GIVE LITTLE CHICKS PLENTY OF ROOM By Prof. L. H. Schwartz During this time of year when the days are warm and the evenings are cool, chicks in brooder houses are apt to huddle. From this cause alone, deaths are surprisingly numerous throughout the country. Most of this loss can be avoided-by training the chicks when young to go under the hover. * This may be accomplished by using a piece of hardware cloth two or three times as long as the circumference of the hover and about 10 inches high. This is arranged sft-ound the hover during the first few days of the chick’s life at a distance sufficiently near to the fire that they may never become chilled and still far enough away so that they may be as cool as they desire. As the chicks grow older, the circle of wire is spread until the corners of the room are reached. It may then be removed, rolled up, and stored until another year. Boards should then be nailed across the corners of the room so that there are no sharp angles in which the chicks may crowd and smother each other. Chicks should be taught U roost as early as possible by placing a low horse or roost in the room when they begin to feather. The number of chicks that go to the brooder house should be determined largly by the number of adult birds that will roost there when they are six months of age. Full allowance should be made for deaths and culling. If thes£ few points are carefully cared for, there will be a minimum amount of crowding and a lower mortality. o A NEW ARMY Old-timers arouncT here know how to farm and they made the most of their opportunities, but this new generation is bringing a lot of things to add to the comfort of life that the older generation never dreamed of. We read of boys and girls clubs all over the country, occupying space at the big clubs as well as the little ones, parading their own livestock and exhibiting their work in dressmaking and canning. The livestock is as good as their daddies ever raised and the dresses and canning as perfect as their mothers can boast. The U. S. Department of Agriculture reports that there are already 600,000 boys and girls enrolled in the farm and domestic science clubs of the country. They combine their lessons in school and college with lessons learned in the home or on the farm, and they go in strong for scientific methods and for the very latest in tools and machinery. It is a vast army of workers, and one that is constantly growing in numbers and interest. Now that spring is here why can’t a little more activity along this line be shown around Syracuse? Give the farm boy or girl something to do for themselves, and from the sale of which they can pocket their own money. Let the town boy have a garden patch, where he can raise and sell his own garden truck. And the town girl can make plenty of pin money with her canning. There never was a greater opportunity for the younger generation to make money than now. Wihy not offor them a little more encouragement and cooperation than they have been receiving in the past?

FARM WOODLAND IS SVIt’ESS IN INDIANA From R. F. Wilcox, acting state forester of Indiana, comes a story of what Indiana farm woodend has done for its owner in the past 28 years, says the Forest Service, in Washington. For $750 John Fensel, of Montpelier, Indiana, bought 20 acres of hardwood forest in 1900, just after all the timber down to 3 inches diameter had been cut for spokes. Since that time, the woodland has supplied the timber for the following buildings: A double corn;crib, 20 by 24 feet, a sheep barn 20 by 30 feet, a horse barn 20 by 36 feet, a garage 10 by 14 feet, and a cellar house 12 by 14 feet. Not less than 150 posts and 40 cords of wood have been taken from the forest, either to be used on the farm or to be sold. In addition, the ash was sold for handles in 1928 for S4OO and the elm was sold for barrels in 1924 for S3OO. For, the standing timber, Mr. Fensel has been offered $3,000. Mr. Fensel has “farmed” his woods, choosing the mature and undesirable trees for cutting, and has protected it from fire. He permitted grazing for one year only. The prolific crop of young growth in his woodland forms a striking contrast to the complete absence of tree seedlings on an adjoining woodland area owned by his brother, and which has been heavily pastured. This woodland was the first forest to be approved for classification under the Indiana forest land taxation act of 1921. o COOPER \T! YF MARKETING SCHOOLS IN INDIANA . Schools of cooperative marketing are an outstanding feature of the present cooperative movement in America. The fourth session- of the American Institute of Cooperation, held in California last summer, enrolled 470 students from 31 states and ten foreign countries, according to United States Department of Agriculture. Within the past twelve months two schools of cooperative marketing have been held at Oklahoma Agricultural College, and one school each in Arkansas, Arizona, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Fifteen schools of cooperative marketing were held in Indiana this winter, and six two-weeks schools in Colorado, also two and three-day cooperative marketing institutes in Wisconsin. o Two Girls Live on Hot Water and Rice Due to stomach trouble Miss A. H. and sister lived on hot water and rice. Now they eat anything and fedl fine, they say, since taking Adlerjka, < Even the FIRST spoonlful of Adlerika relieves gas on the stomach and removes astonishing amounts of old waste matter from the system.

IN NEED OF FORESTS Why Indiana needs state forests is ably explained by Ralph F. Wilcox, state forester, of the conservation department with this argument: One-sixth of the farms alone of Indiana in a single year actually purchased $3,893000 worth of lumber, posts and fuel wood. The amount shipped in Indiana cost $3,250,000. Total value of lumber shipped into this state is 1925 was $32,000,000. Why haul this lumber 1,000 —2,300 miles from the South and the Pacific coast when we can grow much of it at home? The' U. S. Census of Agriculture for 1925 shows 2,717,000 acres of forests in Indiana. They are but ragged remnants of the fine productive stands of hard | wood species they once were—and might be again—if properly developed and managed. The same census shows 1,004,435 acres of idle fallow land. Much of this is actually abandoned now. Why not reforest this vast area and put these idle acres to work? The small wood lot can be developed by farmers and private owners. Small tracts can be preserved and reforested by cities and counties. Experimental thinnings and improvement cuttings at the Clark County State Forest, says Forester Wilcox, show actual net profits of sl7 to s2l per acre. Careful estimates and actual figures indicate a net profit per acre per year in these state forests. when properly developed, of $6 an acre a year andsl2.9O in local labor and industry. A second plea for state forests is advanced in that they protect water sheds and regulate streamflow. They tend to modify and regulate climate. Forests are great outdoor blessings to an industrial people who are searching for places of recreation, exercise. health and spiritual inspiration. Such returns may even surpass the cold economic justification for forest revenues alone. o The DuPont Rayon Company has reduced the price of rayon yarns 15 cents per pound because of unsettled market conditions. It is claimed that rayon. sold by all 5 & 10 stores, has become so cheap and common that particular people pass it up. Meanwhile the pure silk business is enjoying a real boom.

“THE bass viol of naA tore’s .symphony,” is Xvhat they call him. Everybody who lives in the country knows him, even if they have never . seen him. He hides a vay in the brush along brooks and streams. To the lyric soprano of the birds and the feverish fiddling of the crickets he adds the deep boom of his double bass accompaniment. Resonant and rich, it sounds for all the world like someone “plunking” the strings of a bass viql,

This solitary, grumbling denizen of the watercourses is seen by few and nearly always at night, when, fascinated and helpless in the white glare of a flashlight, he falls prey to small boys. Sir.g by Bull Frog You guessed it. This nocturnal accompanist is our old friend the bull frog. But who would ever think of him as being responsible for a marvelously intricate and efficient piece of electrical machinery? The farmer who tunes in the peppy band of a far-away New York night club little dreams that the wonderful instrument bringing him music out of the night air was sired by an ancestor of that old bull frog booming away down there in the glen. Perhaps the radio would have come anout in some other way, but certain it is that the bull frog hastened the miracle by just being. > About the time of the French fevolution an Italian named Galvani made the interesting discovery that a pair of freshly skinned frog legs would twitch and jerk in a lively manner \vhen the exposed nerves were placed simultaneously

or \ 11 Alletandro Volta testing his famous mMBPC “Crown of Cups”.

in contact with pieces of moist copper and iron. This apparently childish business of playing with frog legs placed Galvani among the immortals, for we find his name preserved today in such terms as “galvanic action" and “galvanized iron". The latter term was originally applied to iron plated with zinc by an electrical process. Allesandro Volta, a compatriot of Galvani, got the hunch that the twitching of Galvani’s frog legs was due to electrical action and he used this idea to perfect the first electrical battery. The “Crown of Cups” Volta’s battery Consisted of half a dozen glass tumblers filched from Dame Volta’s china cabinet, and arranged in a circle on a table. Each tumbler was full of a diluted acid and had two strips of dissimilar metal dipping into it. A strip in one glass was joined to its dissimilar mate in another glass by a wire and so on around the circle. The final circuit was completed through a pair of unsuspecting frog legs. This arrangement later gained the romantic name of “Volta’s Crowh of Cups”. There followed a fair amount of twitching and quivering when

Volta used this device on the frog legs. But nothing short of a froggy Charleston sufficed for the ambitious inventor. He proceeded to devise a more compact battery by stacking a glass tube full of flat discs of copper and zinc arranged in pairs. Each pair was separated by a piece of blotting paper dipped in acid. This pile packed a. terrific wallop, being capable of throwing a spark across a quarter inch of space. It also achieved permanent fame in the term “Volta’s Pile”. Now, more than a century later, it has reached its development in the layer built “B” battery. This battery has doubled the life of the ordinary battery and insures for the radio user a steady flow of power at a fraction of the usual cost.
