The Farm and Farmer

Several Indians counties are report
ing the temperance of the Hessian
lily, but no Wayne county farmer has
yet stated that there is fly in his
wheat, so far as we are aware. 1t
takes a close examination to discover
the fly, this early in the season. In
the main Wayne wheat is doing well.
Unless the cost of farm labor comes
down, or the price of corn advances
and holds at higher levels during the
coming spring, the corn acreage is
likely to be materially decreased in
Indiana in 1921. This is the consensus
Of farm opinion at this time, subject
to change during coming winter
months, of course, depending on var
ious factors when spring opens. The
fact remains. however. that the only
producers who are selling corn, are
those who feel that they must
Mcclure Talks at Newcastle.
Everett Mcclure. vice president of
the Indiana farm federation, was the
principal speaker at Newcastle on
Wednesday evening. The meeting was
in celebration of the windup of the
membership drive, which ran all
through November. during which the
Is townships in Henry county were
canyassed under the direction of u. S.
Abshire, assisted by Charles A. Simms,
state organization man. 1t was es-
timated that the county membership
was increased 25 per cent during the
drive.
Corn Husking Machinery.
According to the Fort Wayne Ga
Zette a number of corn husking ma
chimes are in use in Allen county this
fall. They were tried out because
Of the scarcity and high cost Of hand
labor, and it is said that farmers find
them very satisfactory in large fields,
where the corn is standing up well.
AS a rule Allen county farmers pull
the huskers with tractors.
Liberty Man at ShelbyvilIe.
H. A. McMahan. of Liberty, son of
H. +. McMahan, organizer of the first
corn clubs in Indiana, and also instru-
mental in forming the one week short
course at Purdue, has been appointed
instructor in vocational agriculture in
the Shelbyville schools. The young
man is Purdue graduate. and assum-
ed his duties at Shelbyville on Deem
her I. Mr.. McMahan succeeds f. l..
Austin, who will be one Of the assist
ant vocational agricultural directors,
with headquarters at Purdue.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-12-02

The farmers of Union township,
Shelby county, and of Orange town
ship, Rush county, have purchased the
elevators at Manila and Rays Cross
ing. A coal yard will be added at
Manila. The transfer will be made
on January 1.
Dalton Meets Wednesday Night.
The farmers of Dalton township are
anticipating a very interesting address
by Maurice Douglass, of Fiat Rock, on
Wednesday evening. A phone call to
Ben Taylor, secretary of the township
federation, elected the information
that the meeting was called TO close
up the drive, get-togetller, have an en-
joyable evening, and incidentally to
eat a little lunch after vice president
Douglass discourse. He reports that
the drive was fair success and added
quite a number of farmers to the
membership roster. The meeting will
be held at Dalton.
Chickens Plenty, Eggs Scarce.
Don't give me away, Mr.. Farm
Editor" said the ruralist," but I'm
figuring on taking home few eggs,
today, being that I'm getting hungry
for them" This seemed a surprising
statement, in view of the fact that all
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-12-02

beholders passing that farm home can
see more than 300 chickens dotting
the "farmscape." AS a matter of fact
very few farmers are getting eggs en-
ough for home use just now, let alone
any for market And why? Simply
because their chickens were not bred
for winter layers, first of all, and
again because it takes mixed ration
to produce eggs, corn alone not being
sufficient for results, especially in off
seasons. Some green. feed is vitality
important in cold weather, sprouted
oats doing as we'll or better than most
vegetable matter available.
This explains>the high prices town
folk now have to pay for fresh coun-
try eggs in the rural districts, and
more in proportion in the large
cities.
Potatoes Now Cheap.
But if eggs are high potatoes are
low in all the big cities just now.
They are at a pre-war level and then
some, in Chicago today, for example,
at $3.50 to $40 for choice northern
whites, not per bushel but per 100
pounds. These are wholesale prices,
Of course, which allow a fair retail
profit at $50 per bushel Speaking
of pre-war prices, there are none, so
