Many Farmers Flowing Their Fields and
Planting Them in Corn
The regular monthly meeting of the Marion
County Agricultural society was held in the
rooms of Sec'y Heron at the capitol Sat
urday. The wheat crop was the principal
topic up for discussion. Reports showed very
poor prospect for anything like an average
yield OF that cereal. IL had been literally frozen
out There had not been enough snowfall
during the past winter 10 protect the crop and
the ground has been frozen deeper than for
many years. Frequent thaws had occurred
which had been very damaging. Many farmers,
it was said, would pillow up their wheat-felds
and plant them in corn.
Messrs. Sylvester Johnson of IrvingtOn and
Mr.. John Reagan of Greencastle gave an inter
esting account of their trip TO California, where
they had gone % attend the meeting of the
American horticultural society at Riverside.
They were received very Hospitality and every
attention was shown them. They were the
guests, while there, of the secretary of the
state board of agriculture.

The art of living seems to be one of

Ii is certain long life was not secured by
using mineral poisons as remedies for
disease. That is essentially modern
practice. The ancients doubtless drew
on the laboratory of nature for their
medicines, hence the span of their lives
was naturally extended.
We Know that our immediate ancestors
found their medicines in the fields and
forests adjoining their log-cabin homes.
These natural remedies were efflcarious
and harmless-left no poison in the sys-
