HAMMOND ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
SOLVES A VEKINC PROBLEM

At an important meeting. called by
PRESIDENT NJ A. Monnett. the directors
OF the Hammond Athletic association
last night solved the problem of build
Ing its baseball and athletic field and
1t with 1,200-foot fence. Seats and
necessary buildings will be built The
arrangement frees the association from
taking upon itself too great a risk
Certain members of the association
taking the burden of financing the
plan and are ready to meet losses, if
any, incurred They will turn over the
completed fence to the association, on
the lst of May, 1911, without 81 of in
cumberance. This practically is guar
anteed profit to the club of $1,000 for
the year and will insure the association
the ownership of grandstand, bleach
ers, and sheds at bare cost building.
The whole affair is under the auspices
of the club and assures the associa-
ton of a profit that is reasonable and
safe.

OF Perfecting Organizat, 20 Il
Tells What it Will Mean to A. 5
When Every Farmer is OrganiZe.>

To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
Today the Farmers Union is ma
tional in the largest sense 1t has
State organizations on the Pacific
coast, State organizations on the At
lantic coast, State organiza tions on
the Gulf coast and on the Great
Lakes. In seven years it has grown
from a handful of energetic and
hopeful men captained by Newt
Gresham at Point, Texas, to an
American army varying from two
million to two and a half million
members. covering men engaged in
every species Of agriculture in the
United States.
I think I can detach myself sulIi
ciently from my love for and interes-
in this work to realize that this eN-
pansiOn represents achievement and
phenomenal achievement at that.
:, I cheerfully venture the assertion
that no agricultural organization in
the civilized world has ever recorded
SO marvellous growth. The best
feature is it's stability.
We have organized the American
farmers 'for keeps"
Yet even in the face Of this notable
achievement, and the shadow Of great
er things to come, we find mere ana
there within the order, and here and
there from carping critics without the
order, questioning as to why we nave
not made yaster strides.
The perfection of national or inter-
national organization is the most ard
uoIs and gradual task in the range
of ~humanity's endeavors. l might
cite two overshadowing organizations
from the industrial world as illustra-
ions The Standard Oil Company
and the United States Steel corpora
ton. In their way and in their Pc
culiar spheres they are models of or
ganization-at least the average cttl-
zen who feels the effect Of their force,
will not deny the fact
Now the Farmers Union has no de-
sire or intention to rival these over
reaching mOnOpOHeS, but their
matchless triumph of organization
can teach us something beneficial w e
can profit from the constructive lessons
they have to offer and reject the prac-
tices that have placed some Of their
promoters upon an evil emlnence III
this country.
Now. the Farmers Union has no de-
cades to perfect these two great or
ganizations. They began first with
struggling and struggling groups At
various stages in their history they
were dealt blows that would have been
deadly, had not the men behind been
actuated by fixed purpose ana unWaV-
ering courage.

PLAN AN INTELLIGENT
CROPPING SYSTEM.

nay cropping system that will prove
adapted to our dairy farms must be
the best result Of studied effort, but
lack Of understanding.
/ have found potato-growing and
dairy farming a profitable combina-
ton. grow potatoes in sufficient
quantities to induce buyers from all
over the country to come and buy at
the car door tn, US creating q demand
for our crop that makes 1t profitable
and easy to market
There are numerous other crops
that a man might grow with equal
success, if he would study how to
grow it to its greatest degree of per-
lection. The intense culture given to
some highly organized market crop
and the addition Of phosphoric acid
and potash to the soil prepare it IN
the best possible condition for the
other crops that succeed it in rotation.
The field IS kept more free from
weeds, there is a more favorable ac-
ton of the bacteria in the soil. a mere
vigorous root growth Of the plants is
stimulated and the decomposition lof
the organic matter contained in the
sod and manure is hastened.
With proper management a small
amount of manure will go a long way
toward maintaining soil fertility anc
it is a waste of time money and ma
nure to haul it on to a field that is
not adapted to its economical recep-
| tion-W. NJ. Ka1fnv.

'PIP" IN FOWLS.

The term pip" is commonly used
to. describe a catarrh or fevered con-
dition Of the mouth of fowls The
of the mouth and particu-
larly of that covering the tongue. This
drying of the mucous membrane Is
caused by breathing through the
mouth on account of some obstruction
of the air passages, or disease of the
lungs affecting the respiration. TO
remove or tear off the dried portion
is cruel and injurious and often leaGs
to the death of the bird.
In case of simple drying OF the
mouth it is sufficient to moisten the
tongue with a few drops of equal parts
of glvcerine and water. In case therr

Concrete is the best and most sani-
tary floor that can be used in a dairy
barn and effort should be made to
nave such floors installed whenever
barn is being constructed. When
stable floors become dangerous, MAX
ing it necessary to replace them, con-
crete should always be used if the
floors rest upon the ground.
Stable floors should be laid with q
slope or pitch either to common
center or to one end Of the barn. For
floors a slope of one to two inches in
eight feet is ample and three-quarter
one inch is usually considered de-
siraOle for the average cow STALL

AHOlF~T llllnS-tneSe TWO concerns
have always, or nearly always. had at
their disposal all the advantages af-
Is 'ded by command of unlimited capi-
and the best order Of trained
rains in the country.
Yet they have grown pieCemeal, SO
to speak, by a process of evolution.
through infinite backsets and discour-
agements and panics, until today they
stand as the supreme embodiments Of
organization.
progress even more phenomenal than
these two organizations. and that
without the advantage conferred by
money, for the reason that our guild
ing principles have been righteous
where theirs have been those rising
from greed.
But on the side Of patience and OF
the value and efficacy of organization,
and of the spirit that is willing 20
wait for results, perfectly confident OF
ultimate success. they abound in OBJ
ject lessons.
[ want every member of the Far
mers Union, however obscure, to re-
mem ber we are building for tomorrow
as we'll as for today; for our chill
dren's children we'll as for our
selves, t0at we are laying q SOliQ
foundation for the solving Of prob
lens that will test American mettle
decades after we are dust.
l look forward to the day when
every American farmer belongs to an
agricultural organization as one Of
the brightest days in the history Of
this country. It may not come in
my time, nor in the time Of my chill
dren. But I know it is destined.
and that at the rate the Farmers
Union is growing we VIII not have to
wait an indefinite number of years
for the cOnSummat1on.
Let us, first, concede that the far
mer is the most important element in
the national life. Let us, next, con-
cede that he has been Systematically
| neglected, in the way of legislation
and social viewpoint, since the found
ing of the republic. Let us, next.
concede that the day he is formed
into one compact. unanimous national
organization he will be able to secure
his rights, to redress his wrongs and
to inject sanity and equity into the
nation'S government in degree that
has never been approXimated in
American history.
These are some of the ends to
which we are working. While We
labor for the farmer, we labor for the
entire country for the country is no
