Community Clubs

The Hoosier Point Club at Delhi
Township held it's first meeting last
Wednesday at the home of r. l.. Stone.
There was a good attendance and
much interest taken In the discussion
OF local problems.
An interesting bit of experience in
regard to the use of limestone was
given by J. P. Holden of that commun-
ity Mr.. Holden says: Last sum-
mer | used air Stacked lime in my
garden which had been cultivated for
long period of years l would ap-
ply the lime on two or three rows of
a certain kind Of vegetable and leave
one or two rows for comparisons
sake. am safe in saying that be-
lieve the crop was doubled on each
row Of which the lime was used. We
even noticed an improvement on the
corn which is usually not affected
much by lime. l am firm believer
in using limestone on our soils.
am interested in determining an an
alysis of the limestone deposits in this
section and to see what we can do in
regard to securing some for our soils.
The County Agent presented chart
showing large number Of samples
OF soils which had been tested, show
ing the conditions of the acidity found.
This chart indicated without doubt
the need Of limestone.
At the business session following
the meeting, Mr.. J. P. Holden was
elected chairman; B. J. Davis, Vice |
Chairman; r. l.. Stone, Secretary. |
Program committee to investigate the
limestone situation and report to the
club. The club has also taken upon
itself to arrange for two meetings to
be held in the Township in March at
which specialists will be secured to
give demonstrations on pruning and
spraying Of orchards and the raising
OF poultry. Also possibility Of put
ting on dairy school to be held for
one day was taken under advisement.
Delhi Township is quite noted for its
dairy products. These men are alive
to their needs and through the COOP
Grafton of the Farm Bureau are going
to have assistance in every way pos
sible.

The actual results that farmers have
secured over the county is the best
evidence.
Elmer Lux Of Hopkinton believes in
soy beans to the extend that he is go
ing to put in at least fifty acres in
connection with his corn crop besides
a special seeding for hay feeding. H.
]. Ryan, northeast Of Manchester had
in quantity last season with his
corn which was hogged down. He
has been so well pleased with the re-
suits that a much larger acreage is
to be seeded this spring.
The County Agent has known the
value Of soy beans for a good many
years but he has been little slow in
presenting to the people Of this sec
ton owing to the fact that any such
project has to be first thoroughly de-
monstrated before people will take
enough stock in 1t. The principle
has been presented without any doubt.
From experiments conducted last year
soy beans were seeded with the corn
The analysis OF such sileage showed
that there was practically a balanced
ration.
AS to the value of soy beans the
Ohio Experiment Station states that
twenty bushel crop Of soy beans will
carry 40 per cent protain, rs per cent
fat to fifty bushel crop Of corn. 80
per cent protain. 65 per cent fat to two
ton crop Of clover hay. II you are
interested in dairying or hogging
down corn, or putting up good sileage
it would be we'll to investigate soy
beans.
Those infested will get in touch with
the County Agents office at once. An
effort will be made to secure soy
bean seed adapted to this locality
Inquiries regarding growing and man.
agement of this crop will be gladly
answered through the Farm Bureau
Office.

ton sare concerned?
From the various articles which ap-
pear in the press from time to time
it Is apparent that the people on the
farm are placed at disadvantage,
and there is apparently general
movement on the part Of farmers or
CARNATIONS to discourage it. If town
people wish to get up and work in
their gardens early in the morning
that is their business. but when it
comes to getting out and harvesting
our crops We cannot do it by clocks.
Conditions must be favorable. The
dew must be off the grass irrespective
Of what the clock says.
The advantage of the daylight saw
ing plan for the farmers has been
easily summed up in a statement by
one farmer who said that the average
farmer has had very few hours of
to waste. With the excep-
ton Of harves time it has been no pos
tive disadvantage to US, and If it is
a benefit to town people, have no
objection to its continuance next seas
on. While another farmer says: /.
The farmer works from daylight until
after dark regardless of the hours.
There are only so many hours of day
light in each day anyway. BY stop
ping work an hour earlier in the ev-
ening one goes to bed earlier and is
deprived Of the very best time to
sleep, 2 to 4 a m. 1t Is often too
warm to sleep earlier in the evening.

Federal Farm Loans.

What do the farmer readers of the
Delaware County papers think of this
daylight saving law? Express your
self through its columns.
A good many farmers are aware
that the farmers of Delaware County
have perfected an organization by
which they can secure farm loans
from the Federal Farm Loan Bank.
The Federal Bank Appraiser is to be
hear in the near future to pass upon
the appraisements which have been
made by the Local Board of Apprais-
ers. It is the opinion of the Farm
Bureau that there has never been a
better opportunity for farmers to Sc
cure financial aid to reduce notes
which are outstanding at a higher
rate Of interest and to secure money,
to buy livestock and improve the farm
or to buy additional farm land.
That farmers over the United States
have surely appreciated the benefit
OF Federal Farm Loans system is evil
denced that since these banks start
ed up year ago over $158,O00, 900 have
been loaned to farmers up to January
LIST. Over 100000 OF this was loan
ed in December. This is wonderful
opportunity to borrow money at five
and one-half per cent on long time
payment of thirty-four and one-half
years at which time the interest and
principal are paid.

tive buyer Of farm land or need ad-
ditional funds to improve your farm,
