ISN'T THIS
THE TRUTH?
More Corn to The Acre-Au.
drain Farmers, Do You Get
The Point?

Lafayette, Ind, Jan. H.
Farmers who are raising less
than 30 bushels of corn per acre
lack the American money-mak-
ing instinct, are losing sight OF
big profit possibilities and are
not even paying the interest on
their investment, taxes, power
labor and overhead charges
That is what Prof. G. |. Christie
of the Purdue agricultural ex'
pertinent station of Indiana
charges in report issued by the
Middle West Soil Improvement
committee.
The soil expert sounds warm
ing and sets forth how millions
of dollars can be put into the
savings banks of the country to
the credit of American farmers.
The American farmer, believes
Professor Christie, needs to take
a lesson from the American
manufacturer. The former must
learn to relate his costs of pro-
duction, his overhead, his various
running expenses to the returns
on his land.
Raise one 80 bushel crop of
corn and you make more money
than by raising three As bushel
crops" declares the Purdue
man. "Fixed charges are no
higher on large yields, while the
cost of extra labor, fertility and
care necessary to produce big
crops, are but slightly greater.
The cost per bushel decreases
as yields increase. Normally,
large yields stand for quality
corn which brings the top price
at the elevator and produces
maximum gains when fed"
The secret of 80 to 100 bush
els of corn an acre as some farm
ers are now getting and which
all can get is soil fertilization.
Manure supplemented by suit
able fertilizers, used plentifully
in the spring, is the secret of
big, profitable corn yields.

DEMAND FOR HORSES
Raise More of 'Em-Plenty of
Money in The Game

r. G. Greed of Audrain said to
the st. Louis Live Stock Report
er a few days ago, relative to
conditions in this county:
81 don't look for much change
in conditions in the county be-
fore we have a couple of good
years. Feeds are scarce and high
this season. From all indications
we are going to have fine crop
of wheat. l have never seen it
looking better and there is a
large acreage. Cattle and hogs
are mighty scarce this year.
Zone of the biggest enter
prises of Audrain county is mule
raising and feeding. Although
there are not as many on feed
this year as usual, we have a
good many, and take it the year
around, we produce lots of
mules. They are not as much
trouble to feed or care for as
cattle or hogs. A good many of
the mules shipped here are raised
right in that country. 1T is a
great mule section. / hear feed
ers all talking about feeding
good many next season, if they
have a good crop. There is plen-
ty of money in the game. Ex-
perienced feeders seem to have
little trouble in getting big
prices for their finished product.
/ am going to feed a few if corn
is good next season.
ct looks to me as though
feeders and raisers were going>to
have to raise and feed more hor-
ses and mules in the next couple.
of years as the incessant drain
on the country caused by the
war is going to clean out the
supply. There is going to be
lots of money made in horses
and mules in the next few years,
or I will miss my guess. |, for
one, am going to take the oppor-
tuhity which is about to present
itself as think there will be a.
chance to make some money get
ting these war horses in shape
for the market"

Some Views 2Mnd Interviews

Thad Threlkeld: You want to
know what | think about that
European war? The Germans are
going to get licked. But / may
miss my guess. The Germans are
prepared. This makes me say
right here that / am interested
in the care they give their soil
over there. They may starve the
other fellows out. That recent
statement made by German au-
thorities that their country is
prepared with food stuffs to feed
itself thru a seven years war
and that this is the result of high
cultivation and intelligent soil
feeding brings home to me that
the proper care of soil is really
a national issue with them, as, |
think, it shall become in Ameri-
ca.
George Kabrich: l am down

Enormous Loss to the Farmers

Centralia, Mo, January IL
Farmers in this section have lost
about 1000 hogs from cholera
and pneumonia in the last two
months. In some instances serum
proved a success, but in most
cases it failed. This loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000.
Farmers are forced to ship

win be affected later.

Secy. Daniels Wants
Four Dreadnaughts

Washington, Sept. 5-Secretary
Daniels naval program will include
at least four battleships, or battle
cruisers, as well as fotilla of scout
craft and submarines. The Secretary
has returned to Washington to make
a fight for an increased navy all along
the line. ...
"I have never advocated that we
stop building battleships," he de-
clared. 81 hope to obtain expert ad-
vice to make the navy what it must
be in the future to stand upon an
equality with the most efficient"
His statement was accepted as set
ting at rest the rumor that he was to
line up with the "small navy" men to
subordinate battleships to marines.
In that connection the Secretary is
known to have been won over to the
progressive plan whereby definite
building program extending over a
term of years again will be adopted,
this time, however, with assurances
that it will be carried out.
The recommendations of the gen.
eral board this year will include at
least four dreadnaughts equal in ton
mage and armament to any yet sug-
gested anywhere, and probably two
battle cruisers of great speed and
cruising radius. The number of SUBJ
marines to be built has not vet been
decided on, but it is certain that at
least four of the Schley type, equip
Fed for cruising anywhere that the
main fleet can go, will be recommends
led.

Germans May Take
Big Russian Port

London, Sept. 6-The menace of
Riga, the Russian Baltic seaport, is
becoming more serious. The Germans
still hold the bridgehead at Fried
richstadt, the occupation of which ef-
fectively cuts off Riga's railway COM
munication to the south, while Ger
man aircraft are active in the gulf,
perhaps presaging another naval
clash as part of concerted German
land and sea move to complete the
isolation of the city and force its
abandonment by the Russians.
According to an unofficial Berlin
dispatch, received by way of Copen-
hagen, the Germans claim possession
CT the gulf, the Russians having aban-
doned Dago, the northernmost of the
three islands just outside the gulf.
Berlin's official communication to-
day claims no further progress by Won
Hindenburg from the Baltic to Grod-
no, but thence southwark the armies
Of Prince Leopold and Field Marshal
Won Mackensen are said to be moving
forward, while the Austrian official
statement, covering the battle line
farther south and east, records moth
ing but Teutonic gains.
The great artillery duel in the west
goes on unabated, with the French
and presumably the British the ag.
gressors. The fact that it has con-
tinued for fortnight unaFeted leads
20 the belief in some qus.cfs that il
may mean preparations for an allied
offensive before the approach of cold
weather.
