STATE CROPS 86
PER CENT NORMAL
Report Shows Decline From
Average Yields in Indiana
But Compares FavorabIy
With Other States.

Indiana's combined crop conditions
for 1914 are S6.3 per cent Of the av-
erage yield, figured by the reports Of
yields for 10 consecutive years.
The state will have 90 per cent Of
her average corn crop. This year
Indiana will crib approximately 153,-
$4,000 bushels of corn as compared
with 149, PIP, OO0 bushels last year
which was considerable below the av-
erage and was counted as a poor corn
year. The price Of corn, Sept. %. is
50 cents a bushel in South Bend, low.
with some buyers paying So to So
cents. The price is II cents above an
average made from reports of the
last 10 years.
The state Will have approximately
the same per cent yield of wheat. The
price of wheat Friday is $1.05 a bu-
shell, showing a general increase of
six cents since the first of the month.
The price a year ago at this time
was So cents a bushel with but little
more grain on hand. The average
taken Of reports FOR the last 10 years
shows the price at 80 cents. AS COM
pared with other states. Indiana has
fallen slightly lower in her farm
yields this year than the average. But
few show gains over the average al
though most are up to normal.
Bumper Wheat Yield.
These are the statements made by
the United States department of ag-
riculture in the Farmers bulletin,
published this month. According to
the report the yield for wheat per
acre over the entire United States has
been more than four bushels above
average. The yield this year per acre
in Isl bushels, while the average
taken from the last 10 years is Sc.
Corn shows a slight decrease
throughout the country in general,
the figures being for this year 24.9
bushels to the acre while the aver
age is 25.9.
The number Of stock hogs in the
riculture department at 1908 per cent
of the number in the country a year
ago. The decline is in western stares.
while the majority of the states show
decided increase. Indiana it is
thought has about the same number
as a year ago. The states potato
crop il is thought will be considerable
below the average. The amount this
year is estimated at 4,552, 200 bushels.
The average is reported at I,222,000
bushels. The price is at present So
cents d bushel
In practically every crop the state
has fallen below her usual yield, al
though it compares favOrably with
other states. The prices for all COM
modities are higher in comparison and
it is thought that the Indiana farmer,
although he will not handle as much
produce, Will get as much money this
year as ever.

A PLEA FOR THE ORPHANS

Prices are soaring and winter is
coming and the orphans out at the
Orphans home haven't any vege-
tables or fruit for their stOrehouse.
Has anyone anything to send to
them?
1t has always been practically i'm
possible for the board TO supply win
ter apples or fruits or vegetables OF
any kind in sufficient quantity to last
AL winter, and this winter the problem
will be yet more difficult, for there
are more children in the home than
ever before and prices are much
more prohibitiVe.
But never has an appeal for the
orphans failed and gurely this year.
even though the prices are higher for
everyone, someone will have a little to
spare for the fatherless children at
the home. Even the smallest guam
tity will be gratefully received.

pay transportation from Milwaukee to
their various locations. While these
calls for help are pouring into the Mil
waukee office, the applicants for Jobs
on farms are totally insufficient to
supply the demand"
For more than a year the Industrial
commission, through it's free employ
ment offices at Milwaukee, Oshkosh,
Superior and La Crosse has been try
ing to help the farmer to solve the
problems of help. Bankers and 9TH
ers throughout the state have given
their cooperation and hundreds Of
hands have been furnished. Just at
this time, however, when Wisconsin
farmers are beginning the work of
harvesting a record crop and employ
ment in the cities appears to be
scarce, the lack of farm workers is
becoming serious.
Our superintendent in the Milwau-
kee office, said Mr.. Crownhart, 'is do
ing everything in his power to attract
Workingmen to the farms. He gives
personal attention to requests and en-
deavors to answer every inquiry
promptly The farmers who go right
to the Office at 241 Fourth street, Of
course, get the best opportunity for
picking men. Nearly every morning
farmers may be seen waiting in the
office to engage men,"

HEALTH CONVENTION AT MADL
SON HEARS WARNING AGAINST
FILTH DISEASE.
BETTER RECORDS ARE ASKED
Federal Health Service Expert Tells
of Spread of Dreaded Eye Dis
ease Among Indians of
State.

Madison.-''We must quit talking
about residual typhoid death rate and
reduce it to nought Remember that
it is disgrace to any place to have
typhoid, as it is a disease of filth. Now
it is up to US to get busy; to use 1914
methods in Kidding the state Of this
disease"
This was the admonition of DR.. F.
Johnson of Eau Claire in his address
on Typhoid Infection" at the state
health officers conference.
Among other means OF prevention,
he advocated the pasteurization of
milk
The necessity of a complete record
of communicable disease was advo-
Gated by L. w. Hutchcroft, statistician
for the state board of health.
1.-THE milk supply of a community is
of first Importance" said Mr. Hutch
croft. Many infants and young chill
dren have no other food supply, there
fore it is of vital Importance. The
health officer should make a thorough
inspection of every dairy at least once
a year."
DR.. A. J. Chesley ofsthe Minnesota
state board of health said that every
effort should be made by health Off
GERS to locate the source of every COM
municable disease. Only by this meth
ed, he declared, can the spread of the
disease be checked. He said that too
much attention was given to environ
,ent, when an outbreak occurred, and
that more attention should be given
to the individual. The paper was dis
cussed by DR. w. C. Bennett of Rhine
lander and DR.. L. E. Spencer of Wau-
sau.
A paper on Duties and Effect of
Full Time Health Officer" was read by
DR.. J. J. McShane of Kenosha. He de-
clared that the reason many of The
hospitals are crowded with foreigners
is that these people are ignorant Of
the rules of health.
Surgeon Taliaferro Clark of the
United States health service, spoke on
the spread of trachoma, an almost in
durable and contagious disease, among
the Indians of Wisconsin and Mime
sofa and among the mount neers of
Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia.
In Wisconsin cut of ? 999 Indians on
reservations examined, the disease
was discovered in 2o7 cases, or 6.86
per cent, declared DR.. Clark. This
examination of the Indians of Wiscon-
sin was made personally by DR.. Clark.
He said that he found Indians off the
reservations scattered in fifteen diff
ferent counties of this state suffering
with the disease.
