Irvine Binder Origin

John Francis Appleby, whose death
in Chicago was briefly reported in
Farm Implement News of November 8,
on which date he passed away, was the
inventor of the automatic Irvine
binder now universally used on
grain harvesting machines through
out the world. There have been alter
ations and improvements, but the
basic principle of the machines now
built is the same as that embodied in
the original Appleby device, which,
attached to the Marsh harvester, made
combined harvester and binder and
completed the solution of the labor
problem in the harvesting of grain.
No name has been better known dur
ing the past forty years by persons
interested in the harvesting ma
chimes than that of MIR. Appleby, and
no machine swept over the world with
such overwhelming rapidity as did
the Appleby binder.
The decedent was born May %,
1910, in small village now called
Westmoreland, located in Oneida
county, New York. He was only five
years of age when his parents moved
to Wisconsin and settled on a farm
near Palmyra. He grew to manhood
on the farm and although he re-
ceived no mechanical training, he
spent much of his time attempting to
design various devices for the i'm
provement of farm machines His
chief ambition was to produce de-
vice for binding grain. George Es-
terly, who afterward became manu-

THE POTATO COMES BACK

The huge potato crop which the
Federal forecast indicates will be pro-
duced in the United States this year
means this important food staple will
be cheaper, and makes it possible, says
the United States Department of Az
rlculture, for American families that
had to cut down on potato consump-
tlon because of high prices to restore
the tuber to prominent place on
their bill Of fare. M
The department forecast, based on
reliable estimates from all parts Of
the country, places the total potato
yield at more than 467 million bushels
as compared with 1856 million in 1910
and 800 million in 1915. Potatoes oi
Cne current season are already in the
market In large quantities and, since
the early harvested tubers can not be
kept easily, should be eaten. NOR
abundantly now if spoilage is to b,
avoided.
Next to the breadstuffs potatos ar,
the most important food crop of th
Western nations, the departmen
points out. They are all the NOR
important now that the worlds whea
supply Is short, since they furnis
starch, the principal food element cor
. tributed by bread, and so may be sui
stltuted in part for bread.
1t is no hardship to Americans, say
! the department, to eat freely of pt
tatoes; rather, it has been hardshi
! to them during the past half year |

JOINT WORM POSSIBLE
DANGER TO 1918 WHEAT

Ohio's wheat crop in 1918 will not
be damaged by insects-unless it is
the Joint worm according to a re-
port issued Friday by the Ohio agri-
cultural experiment station.
"Joint worm was found to be far
the most serious wheat pest this
year." says the bulletin. It's attack
was centered in fields in western Ohio
counties. Scarcely any wheat In
western Ohio was not attacked, anc
some fields showed 100 per cent in
| festation." ..h
The state experts advise that clip
ping and removing the stubble aftel
wheat is hauled from the field will
remove most of the joint worms
Early seeding and the use Of fertil
| lizers are other aids to controlling
Joint worms, the bulletin states.

FAKES IN SEED WHEAT

A new name to an old variety OF
wheat improves it's selling qualities In
the hands Of an unscrupulous dealer.
High sounding names and extrava-
giant prices 60 together. Generally
the claim is made that less seed per
acre is required. One peck per acre is
the recommendation for some Of these.
Since no little seed is required, the
price is at least correspondingly high.
Within the past few years one Of
these varieties was distributed under
the name Of Marvellous, Miracle and
Stoner. On investigation this was
not found to be superior to the good,
standard varieties when seeded at the
same rate. If extravagant claims
are made for wheat, it is probable one
of the old varieties under a new name.
It is not necessary to change seed
wheat every two or three years to
avoid danger of running out. As long
as reasonable care is taken to prevent
mixing with inferior varieties or the
| introduction of weed seeds, there is nc
advantage in changing seed unless Z
lis possible to secure one Of the high
| yielding varieties which is better
adapted, to ones soil and climate than
one usually grown,

HOW TO GATHER SEED CORN

At corn-ripening time, drop all
other farm business, says the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
select twice as much seed corn as you
think you will need. The job is too
important to be conducted incidentally
while husking, and demands the en-
tire attention of the farmer when the
| time is ripe-likewise the corn.
Get the very best to be had and
preserve it well, because then. says
the corn experts, increased yields will
return more profit than from any
other work that can be done on the
farm. The one and only proper way
to select seed corn is from the stalks
standing where they grow, as soon al
\ ripe and before the first hard freeze.
Il sAs soon as the crop ripens the wis.
/ farmer will go through the field Will
seed picking bags, and husk the ear
4 from the stalks that have produced
the most corn without having any spec
ial advantages such as space, moisture
or fertility. He will pass by the larg'
ears on stalks standing alone with al
unusual amount Of space around them
Strains that do well in competition to-
| light, and moisture, and soil fertilit!
are likely to repeat under the SAM
conditions. The most important con
sideration is to select seed from thos
plants which have the ingrained abilit,
to furnish the largest quantity OF Or,
\ shelled corn.
Early maturity is a desirable qual
| lity, and SO are short, thick, wind-firr
stalks; top-heavy ones with ears born
too high are likely to mean losse!
Breeding experiments have prove
j that the tendency to produce sucker
is hereditary in corn. Other thing
/ being equal, take the seed from tn
suckerless stalks.

PAYS TO FATTEN CHICKENS

To market chickens which have not
been properly conditioned through
some method of fattening, is an eco
nomic waste. Chickens will not reach
their maximum development of flesh
without special feeding. The farmer
who sells his chickens without fatten-
ing them, deprives himself Of a large
part of his possible profit, since the in
creased weight produced by an effic-
lent method Of fattening is produced
low cost. The unfattened chicken
loses a much greater percent Of its
weight in dressing than the chicken
which has been properly fed.
The gains which can be made by
crate feeding depend upon the quality
of the fowls and the skill Of the feeder.
Cocks may be expected to make net
increase Of from Is to 20 percent, hens
should gain from 20 to 80 percent and
broilers from Is to 5 Opercent in from
8 to Is days. From $50 to 400 pounds
Of mash fed to chickens should pro.
duce 100 pounds Of poultry meat ir
from8 to Is days.
A circular on the fattening Of chick
ems may be had without cost on appli
cation to the Agricultural College Ex
tension Service, Columbus, Ohio.

BIGGER WHEAT YIELD
PLANNED FOR NEXT YEAR

The Ohio defense council has put

cent increase in wheat acreage.
Ohio wheat prospects this year are
for 38,8OO,OOO bushels, according to
the federal crop report. The coun-
Gil wants for next year 100000 acres
planted and crop of 66,OOO,OOO bush
els.
Ohio's corn crop which was estimat-
ed at 90 per cent of the general aver
age by Secretary Of Agriculture Shaw
was given further boost in the fed
eral estimate which showed Ohio corr
as several points above the ten yea
average. The federal report sees "a,

the battlefield, and also toward Ameri-
cans Of Germans origin affiliating |
themselves with the Red Cross hos

clear the attitude Of the Red Cross,
Henry P. Dawson, Chairman Of the |

statement: i3 ,g.
When war was declared between the
United States and Germany, the neu-
trality Of the American Red Cross Of
course ended automatically. The
American Red Cross can cooperate
only behind the lines Of the armies Of
the United States and its allies.
| But the Red Cross knows no such
thing as the nationality Of wounded

over to the care Of the American Red
Cross will receive as kindly treatment

The Red Cross will not only extend
every aid and comfort to the armies
Of America and Its allies, but 1t will
assist In every possible way the sick,
wounded and afflicted among the civ
ilian populations among our allied
countries. This Is In conformity with
the practice Of the Red Cross Society
in every country. 54
Asto the policy Of the Red Cross II

"Pencils, like flies, may be carriers

ment published by the state depart

"The child is born with the habit
Of putting things in its mouth. Moth
ers usually correct the habit Of child
rem sucking their thumbs, but the
habit of putting pencils in the mouth
and chewing them is much more
dangerous practice, and, if not broken
off in school, may follow one through
life.
"It may indicate a nervous condi-
ton that would require medical atten-
ton. In all events, children should be
instructed to keep their fingers, as well
as pencils, away from heir mouths,
and every school should provide con-
venient and adequate facilities for

should instruct the children in proper
