COUNTIES GO BACK
To UNDERBRUSH, IS
REPORT OF CENSUS

PETERSBURG, Ind, July 3.-An
analysis Of the census of 1920 in Pike
county throws some light on the prob
lem Of the high cost of living.
In 1900 Lockhart township, situated
in southern Pike county, was an agri-
cultural township, with a population
Of 2,144, and was one Of the biggest
wheat-producing townships in the
county. Large crops of tobacco and
much sugar cane and corn also were
raised. Since 1910, however, there has
been a steady decline in population
until the census of 1920 gives the
township only 1857 and the tillable
acreage Of the township has decreased
proportionately. Mining companies
have bought large tracts Of land in the
township, and much Of the land in
these tracts has been allowed to grow
up in underbrush, and can not be
cultivated now until 1t Is cleared a
second time.
1857 In 1900; ss2 In 1920.
Clay township, in the western part
Of Pike county, had a population OF
1887 in 1900, but in 1920 this number
had been reduced to S32. In 1900,
Clay township produced double the
wheat that 1t will produce in 1920.
Jefferson, another wheat-producing
township, has decreased in population
from 2,792 in 1900 to 2,06S in 1920, the
wheat acreage has decreased in pro-
portion to the loss in population.
Yields Of from 5000 to 5000 bushels
of wheat were not uncommon occur
rences for some Of the larger farmers
in 1900, but the biggest farm in Pike
county will not yield 5000 bushels of
wheat in 1920.
The two townships in Pike county
that show increases are Washington
and Patoke, in which are situated the
towns OF Petersburg and Winslow.
Both OF these towns are in the mining
districts Of the county, and the in
creased population is largely made up
OF miners who have moved into the
county with the opening Of the big
coal mines in the last 20 years.
Loss In Rural Districts 5000.
A loss is shown in the rural town
ship Of Pike county since 1900 of
more than 5000, and much of the land
that was cultivated in 1900 is lying
idle this year. In the 20 years, how
ever, Pike has become one Of the
greatest grazing counties in the state,
and more live stock is shipped from
Petersburg than from any other place
in the state.
In some parts Of the county new or
chards have taken up considerable
acreage that was once given over to
grain. In Madison township the
wealthiest township in the county
there has been a decrease in popula.
ton Of only 70 but the population in.
cludes large floating element, as the
| township contains the big oil fields OF
Pike county.

CORN PRICE LOWER;
STOCKS DULL, WEAK,
IN TRADING RESUME

CHICAGO, July 3-Enlarged receipts
together with ideal conditions to bene-
fit growing corn have done good
deal to make prices of corn this week
average lower. Compared with a week
ago, quotations this morning varied
from 71ec decline to- an advance of
2kc. Oats showed a setback Of csc
to sc. In provisions, there were losses
ranging from S1.52 to SAT-.
Widespread timely rains which dis
PEELED fear OF hot-wave damage were
of special effect in forcing the corn
market to turn against the bulls. Prior
to the rains, the fact that receipts
had become much more liberal than
Of late was apparently insufficient to
check the continued advance Of
prices. Fear of disaster to the oats
crop was prevalent, and there was also
talk of possible development of black
rust in spring wheat. Later, however
optimism was general regarding all
the cereals, and it was said that corn
in particular would be favored by the
high temperatures which had fol-
lowed generous supply of moisture.
Oats quickly reflected the breaking
Of the drought.
Unusually sharp descents In the
value of provisions followed the
monthly warehouse statement of
stocks on hand. The increase shown
was the heaviest ever shown for this
part of the season.
NEW YORK, July Grading in
stocks this week was smallest in vol
ume and scope Of any similar period
for almost two years. but the bond
market was relatively active and var
iably higher on moderate mid-year in
vestment buying.
The turn into the second half of the
year witnessed a further Tightening of
credits. This was especially marked
in the rate for commercial loans which
rose to eight percent for all but prime
paper. This is the highest quotation
for such accommodations in almost
thirteen years.

Hogs Weakened Late in
Week at Glen Sfockyards

The best hogs sold as high as $16.25
at Glen Miller stock yards this week,
but weakened later. The rush of live
stock to all markets in advance Of the
holiday, has had disastrous effect on
values, and prices softened every.
where.
Despite the fact that there will be
no market anywhere until Tuesday
morning, the Glen Miller yards expect
to ship five cars east on Saturday
night. There will be full car of
lambs and possibly two Of veals in
this shipment. Abijah Pyle sent in a
truck load of lambs on Saturday,
which averaged So pounds.
Herschel Brown of williamsburg,
bought two truck loads of shoats at
the yards and took them to his farm.
A number of farmers were in with
stock on Saturday, some of whom said
they might continue harvesting on
Sunday, depending on the weather.

Asparagus
e. e. RICE, Garden supervlsor.

Are you growing a bed of aspara,
gus? 1t should be grown in every
home yard garden that is larger than
25x25 feet.
Asparagus is more than a vegetable.
1t is one of the best meat substitutes.
and also has excellent medicinal val
ues. Asparagus is easily grown and
cared for; 1t is one of the earliest
vegetables to be harvested. Also It
will last throughout the season. A
small patch two feet wide and 10
feet long will supply the average fam
lily Once planted and properly cared
for, the asparagus bed will continue
to yield almost Indefinitely.
Get hardy varieties, such as Arsep-
tenil, Palmetto or Mammoth White
Any good loamy soil will grow as
paragus. 1t must not be too weedy
SO make your bed in a part of the gar
den that has been longest under cul.
tiyation
How to Plant Asparagus.
Deep, warm, rich loany soil, spaded
deeply and thoroughly, is best for a
permanent bed. Use we'll rotted ma
nure and fertilize freely.
In planting the asparagus roots pre-.
pare the ground so as to plant in fur.
rows. Make these burrows two or four
feet apart and from eight to 10 inches
deep. Set the two-year-old roots IS
to "a inches apart in the bottom of the
furrow and cover lightly at first; then
gradually fill in with soil and COM
post.
Every spring the bed should be fork.
ed over and spaded carefully-then
pulverize the surface. Continue to
give clean cultivation to the entire bed
until fall, then cover with manure or
compost. During the second year hill
up the rows, especially for blanching
the stalks, and cut sparingly. After
that you can cut freely.
Roots Travel Horizontally.
Some gardeners dig trenches four
feet deep and enrich the ground with
large quantities of manure and ferti-
liZer. But the roots of asparagus sci.
dom go down deeper than two feet.
and in that case would hardly get
any benefit from fertilizer placed at
e depth of four feet The roots of
asparagus travel horizontally and sell
dom downward, so the fertilizer will
be needed within one foot of the sur.
face.
The roots should be planted early
in the spring. In the fall be sure to
cut off all the stalks before they go
to seed If seed are allowed to de-
velop they will fall to the ground and
bed. and become very troublesome.
start new plants everywhere in the
A sprinkling of salt spread broad
cast over the asparagus bed once
every spring is helpful. 1t keeps
down the weeds, retains the moisture
and stimulates growth. Cut the as
paragus off with a sharp knife and
leave the roots standing in water until
used.
