Farmers’ Institute Planned For Syracuse

C.OFC. PROPOSE TO HOLD EVENT LATE INMONTH Committee Plans Fine Program And Exhibition Plans are being formulated by the Agriculture Committee of Syracuse-Wawasee Community Chamber of Commerce for a Farmers’ Institute liere, the latter part of February. Bert Whitehead is chairman of the committee. . The definite date of the affair has not been announced, as just when a speaker can be obtained is not know. W. O. Fitch of Purdue University has been asked to arrange a speaker for the occasion. Other entertainment is being planned, and as soon as a speaker is ' obtained, the entire program can be announced. Members of the organization and the Agriculture Committee believe a Farmers’ Institute in Syracuse will arouse interest in a broad community rural program, and will establish more neighborly relations between farmers in the nearby rural sections and people in town. The affair will probably be held in the High School building where exhibits will be arranged and prizes offered in various classes. Real Estate Transfers Grace E. Martin to Elmer L. and Edith A.

Blind Farmer Manages His Own 19-Acre Tract

SHERWOOD, Ore., Feb. 11 (INS)-—The old adage that “seeing is believing” doesn’t apply to Frank Fisher; a blind man who believes wfaat he feels rather than what he sees. Fisher and his wife occupy a nineteen-abre farm along the Pacific highway a short distance from Sherwood, but the man of the house does most of the work around the place because Mrs. Fisher spends most of each day working elsewhere. He is an accomplished cook, and specializes in preparing chicken dinners. Fisher even selects the chicken which he intends to cook, sometimes by waiting until dark and then feeling the rows of roosting birds until he reaches a young cockeral of a pleasing plumpness, or by “cornering some in the hen-house and then grabbing. What man with sight could do more?” In addition to visiting around the Purebred Cattle Make Best Herds Tests Made With Different Breeds of Dairy Cows Ample Proof. 3y C. L. Blackman, Specialist in Animal Husbandry, Ohio State University. —WNU Service. Ability of purebred dairy cows to outdistance grades and mixed breeds in the production of milk and butterfat is emphasized in records from Ohio dairy improvement associations. » Production records of 10,320 cows were kept in the 32 associations which reported. The herds are divided into two classes, those with 15 cows or less and those with more than 15 cows, and the high producing herds in each class are listed. The individual production records of the 32 high cows out of the 10,320 also are given. Twenty-three out of the first 30 herds in the small herd class were registered purebreds, as were nine out of the first 10 in this classification; 20 out of 32 herds in the large herd class were registered and 8 out of the first 10; and 26 out of 30 high-producing individuals were registered purebreds and 9 out of the first 10. Only 7 out of 92 of these high records were made by herds that were classified as of mixed breeding and in most of these cases the individual animals had a high percentage of the blood lines of some one acknowledged superior breed. Perhaps not all the superiority as shown by these records was due to the animals themselves because owners of purebreds Usually are prouder of their live stock and devote extra attention to the herd. Members of the association bought 48 purebred cows and 14 purebred bulls during one month. Some cows of mixed breeding and some grade cows produce more milk and butterfat than some individual purebred cows but the records show that the chances of good production are much better with purebreds than with grade or scrub cattle. If this were not true all the work of farmers and scientists who have spent lifetimes in perfecting purebreds would have been wasted. Dairymen who admire purebred cattle should remember that purebred dairy cattle originally were developed by farmers who worked for centuries to implant the good characteristics and to eliminate the undesirable features of their particular breed. Each breed came from a limited area where groups of breeders built up herds of cattle that would breed true to type. Crystal Theatre Ligonier, Ind.

nineteen acre tract, Fisher also does “a lot of the housework and cooking, even to washing best china without breaking any.” He explained that the secret of washing dishes without breakage is “to put everything back in its place.” “One day when the water in our well got low,” Fisher said, “I let myself down with a rope, measured for the pipe extension, then pulled myself back up and did the entire job. I was alone here at the time. Another time I took the job of offbearer when the woodsaw came. Monkeying with a buzz-saw, you might say. I spade my garden and mow my lawn—weed it too.” Fisher said his friends sometimes try to fool him by slipping up on him from behind, but that they aren’t often successful because “I know the sound of their footsteps and of their automobiles, and can call out their names before they reach me.” Buff Plymouth Rock The Buff Plymouth Rock is dis- ! tinguished from the other Rocks by [ the color alone, which should be an I even shade of golden buff through--1 out. Shafting, or the presence of I feathers having a shaft es different color from the rest of the feathers 1 sprinkled with lighter color as though powdered with meal, is undesirable. As deep an undercolor of buff as it is possible to obtain is desirable. Charcoal for Hens Charcoal has long been a stock recommendation as a part of the poultry ration, but apparently has lost much of its popularity, says a writer in the Rural New - Yorker. The reason usually given for its suse has been that it is an “absorbent” and purifier, but what it absorbs, other than water, and what it purifies and how it does, remains unexplained. Charcoal tablets for human consumption have also been advocated. Color Guide to Laying In yellow-skinned breeds of hens the amount of yellow color in the eyelids, earlobes, vent, beak, legs, and toes serves as a good indicator of the number of eggs a bird has laid in the past. The time required for the yellow color to bleach out will vary with certain feed and management practices. A ration containing a large amount of yellow corn or other yellow pigment-form-ing feeds tends to retard the bleaching process. Treating Milk Cans It is a very good practice to treat all milk cans, that have been washed at the milk plant and returned to the farm, with a solution of chlorine just before they are again filled with milk, says E. R. Garrison, of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Even though the cans have been washed and steamed at the plant, considerable growth of the surviving bacteria will occur in the’ moisture left inside when the can stands with the lid on.

Lumpy-Jaw Cattle Meat Meat from cattle affected with lumpy jaw may be used when the particular part affected is condemned and destroyed. This applies when lumpy jaw is a localized disease, that is, when one part is affected, such as the jaw or the lymph glands adjoining thereto. In this case, the entire part affected should be condemned. If the disease happens to be generalized, and has spread to other organs of the animal, the entire carcass should be condemned. These recommendations follow the rules of the United States Meat Inspection service of the United States Department of Agriculture.—C. P.

Soy Beans as Food In America the soy bean is more generally known as a feed for live stock and in more recent years as a source for oils used in paint making. The next development will most likely come in the use of soy beans as a human food. In China, Japan, and Corea soy beans are more important in the diet than is wheat in this country or rye in Europe. Chemists say soy bean foods can be substituted for meat, milk, eggs and cheese.

Seed Bargains Unlikely At Indiana Auction Sales

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 11.— Farm auction sales, hundreds of which are being held over Indiana at the present time, are often places to purchase at bargain prices many articles and products usable on the farm, according to H. R. Kraybell, state seed commissioner of Purdue University. But, he warns, seldom do fanners get seeds at bargain prices. Too often clover seed, alfalfa seed and timothy seed bought at a low Drice result in the purchaser being highly disappointed, Kraybill states; The Indiana seed law requires the correct labelling of seed with official seed tags on which the seller is required to state the purity, germination, origin, and noxious weed content. All seed sold at auctions must be tagged except that seed sold on the farm of the grower of the seed, and he must not have advertised the seed except by word of mouth or by poster on his farm. Seed th£t has been tagged may be advertised in any Alcoholic Division Have Active Period INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 11.—The state realized a total of $18,234.18 in collection for violations of the alcoholic beverages act during the period of June 1, 1935, to January 1, 1937. A total of 251 hearings were held, after which 71 permits were revoked and 125 penalties were recovered, leaving 55 cases in which no action was taken except where liquor was seized and sold. i Mock’s Boat Livery Crosley Radios Johnson Motors Vulcanizing and Welding Lawn Mowers Sharpened So.

manner. Listing seed for sale oh a sale bill is considered advertising.and such seed must be properly tagged before being offered for sale. As a case in point Dr. Kraybill cites an nispection report, describing a lot of seed sold at a typical Indiana auction recently. This was a lot of untagged red clover seed that was found to have a purity of only 95.37 per cent. It contained 15,300 buckhorn seeds, 5,220 common plantain seeds, nine bracted plantain seeds, 270 curled dock, rjine horse nettle seeds, and 315 wild carrot seeds per pound, along with other weed seeds. A total of weed seeds per pound were found, which meant that if the seed were sown at the rate of eight pounds petacre, 169,104 weed seeds would have been distributed on each acre.
