PLANS ARRANGED
FOR FARM SHOW
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFITA-
BILE FARMING TO BE DEMON
STRATED BY EXHIBITS
TRACTORS, MOTOR TRUCKS,
GRAIN SEPARTORS AND FARM
IMPLEMENTS TO BE SHOWN IN
OPERATION.

Arrangements for the National
Farmers Exposition to be held in
the Terminal Auditorium the week
of Dec. q TO Ia are practically COM
pleted.
All indications are that the fifth
annual show will be the largest and
best which has yet been held. 1t will
have as its aim the advancement of
the interests of the American farm
er, "the backbone of the world
Thousands of farmers will be
brought together in a big congress,
and The best exhibits from ali fairs
and prize winning agricultural dis
plays will be featured.
1.-THE exposition will aim to demon
stratc the many opportunities for
profitable farming in various locali-
ties, show the manner i'll which more
and better results may be secured by
improved farm methods and farm
machinery and promote an interest
IN everything pertaining to modern
farm methods and implements.
The Ohio Apple show, in connec-
lion with the exposition, will from
present indications be the best ever
held The apple crop this year has
been large one, and special deco
rations have already been shipped
from Chicago to make the Stage
where the exhibition will be held as
attractive as possible.
g.Ohio apple growers have enclosed
10000 circulars advertising the show
in boxes and barrels of apples ship
ped TO al parts of the country, and
will continue the plan until the
opening of the exposition.
BliSpace has already been reserved
for a colossal display of the newest
and best farming implements. These
will include 30 tractors, IL trucks
and 8 grain separators.
A township display of war gar
den products and canned goods will
be feature. A hundred dollars will
be divided into prize money for
these exhibits.
There will be many individual dis
plays. Fulton and Wood counties
are both planning large exhibits OIL
farm produce, and Providence, Mon
clova and Spencer township have
plans along the same line. The vel
fare farm and the infirmary will also
have displays.
IL The riate department of agricui-
ture will have fish and game dis
play, and the veterinarian, food and
dairy departments will have repre-
sentatives on hand TO acquaini the
public with their work. f

SECURE BEST SEED CORN
BY DRYING ARTIFICIALLY

IL seed corn is dried with artificial
heat it will give higher termination
test. This is the experimental evil
dence as determined at the Ohio EX-
pertinent Station. In tests covering
five years with seed corn handled
under half dozen different condi-
tions comparable With farm practices,
the corn receiving the artificial heat
has given an average termination of
more than 95 per cent.
Drying in racks in the corn crib, in
piles, boring holes in the cobs of the
seed ears or drying by burying in a
bin of oats has been proven better
than selecting seed corn from the
crib i'm the spring, but even under
these conditions the per cent of ger
mination is not as high as that of
artiticially dried corn. With the sea-
son of 1918. however. when so much
seed corn was injured by freezing. the
ordinary methods of handling proved
to be entire failures, while the dried
corn had per cent of termination
sufficiently high to be used for seed.

GOOD WHEAT AND CORN HERE AND ABROAD

From country elevators to the hold
of transatlantic liner wheat and
corn destined for the army and the
allies and almost all of that arriving
at mills and terminal markets is
handled on grades fixed and applied
under Federal supervision. The in
spection of wheat and shelle dcorn
is under the direction of the United
States Department of agriculture,
with licensed inspectors located at
small markets, terminals or at the
seaboard and the standards in use are
the same at all inspection points. Be
fore Federal grades were in effect
there was little uniformity i'm grain
standards at the different markets
such as now exists throughout the
United States.
In the past grain was often graded
at country points on the basis of an
average for the crop which placed the
best grain in lower grades than it de-
served. Now n grower of the best
wheat receives II premium, even under
fixed prices, for his extra care in pro-
ducing it. The Federal standards pro-
vide premium grades for grain of -su-
perior quality.
