STATE INSTITUTIONS
/. PRODUCE OWN SUPPLY
Indiana Prison and AsyIumS
Are in Position to Con-
serve Their Resources.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April ID
The state charitable and correction
al institutions are in better position
than ever before 20 conserve their
resources and to develop their ag-
ricultural possibilities. Most of
them have good farms. Some are
adopting better farming methods
and several will be able to purchase
or lease additional land, with the
help of specific appropriations made
by the legislature which adjourned
last month. The returns from these
farms have a double value TO the
state. They contribute 10 the insti-
tuition subsistence, and the inmates
profit both physically and mentally
from the work they do. This is par
ticularly true of the mental defec-
! tives. II is now generally recognize d
that industrial or vocational therapy
is the best form OF treatment for
many cases OF mental sickness and
of mental effectiveness.
At the school for feeble minded
youth at Fort Wayne many of the
boys find useful employment on the
| institution farm OF 564 acres. The
epileptic village at Newcastle has a
farm of 1.245 acres. The outdoor
work il furnishes the patients there
is a great blessing to them, for
work in the open air is their best
medicine. The crops OF grain and
| hay the beautiful gardens, the
herds Of cattle. the pigs. the fiocks
| OF poultry. all testify to the results
OF their labor. The five state hos
pitfalls for the insane afford many OF
their patients opportunity for farm
and garden work. The eastern hos
pital at Richmond has recently gone
into such work on larger scale
than heretofore, through the estab
! lishment of a colony on what il
called Wayne Farms"
The three state correctional insti
tutions for men also do considerabl,
farming and gardening. The stat,
prison has leased over 1000 acre,
of fertile land and the reformatOr,
about sos acres, and each will no
only grow much OF the subsistence,
il needs, but will also have a dair!
herd and will operate a canninl
plant for preserving products for il
own use and will supply the surplu
to the other state institutions. Th'
state farm at Putnamville too viii
have an increased acreage in crop
and will be able TO utilize the labo
of the short-term prisoners a elias
which has heretofore been kept il
idleness in the county jails.

BRAZIL, Ind, April 13.-"There
seems to be an insane desire OF
young people in the country to get
on someone's payroll, to draw a
weekly stipend" said A Q. Fish
back, a farmer, speaking here on
the subject of increasing the food
production in Clay county.
Five of six farms have been
abandoned, he declares, because the
sons of the owners have left for
some city. The problem OF getting
labor for the farm this summer
viii be one of the biggest the
country will face, he AYERS.
Mr.. Fishback, himself a farmer,
did not hesitate TO criticize present
day farmers. He declared the
farmer nowadays just wants TO live
comfortably and own an automo-
bile-he has no desire to utilize his
resources to their fullest extent.
