FINE DISPLAY At SOUTH
BAY COMMUNITY FAIR
Friendly Competition Afforded Will
Result i'm Benefits to the Com
munity.

The South Bay Community Fair,
held last Friday, was real success.
More than 800 people attended the
fair, in spite of the bad weather, and
about $50 were seated at the tables
for lunch.
The displays were certainly fine,
and everything in the way of garden
produce was shown. A fine lot of po-
tatoes was brought in and one hill
was especially good. The vine was
tied to a stick and measured more
than six feet and the total weight Of
the potatoes was "a pounds.
The friendly competition which a
community fair affords results in
benefits to the community in many
ways. BY aiming to produce the best
the standard Of production will be
better all around. Then the social
side of a gathering Of this nature
always is beneficial and, above all,
is the education and interest that
the young folks receive from it. They
no longer look down on the lowly po-
tato or< turnip. and the girls are
learning to be proud Of the art OF
cooking and canning
South Bay as a community feels
proud of our girls who won the state
championship in the cannign contest
and we have many other girls who
will strive to do as we'll.
The livestock entries were not sc
large as was expected, on account OF
the rain. Still there were eight OF
nine head OF cattle, a Shetland pony
goat. some ducks, chickens. rab
bits. and cats.
The Juvenile Grange. together
with the members of the Garden ant
Canning clubs, pronounce the fair
grand success.

The Farm and The Farmer

I'VE have lust finished putting in 30
acres Of corn, said r. G. Swallow,
on Wednesday. Didn't get it all In
on one straight stretch either: did It
as weather permitted. This Is good
growing weather and corn should
make q running start. We have given
more attention to the proper prepare
ton of the soil this year than ever.
The season Is SO late that we want to
give the crops every chance. Next
year shall have tractor, not SO
much for the blowing as for the pre-
pairing of the ground. OF my 65 acres
in wheat 40 are as fine. a friend tells
me, as any between Indianapolis and
Richmond in sight from the National
road. The balance of wheat was
ing fine"
Mr.. Swallow is farming 200 acres
at HarYey's Crossing. west of Cen
terville, on the traction line. He says
he Is feeding 125 head Of hogs for the
August market and complains Of small
litters of pigs this spring. He reports
apples, cherries and plums as fruit,
ing literally.
20 Acres Of Fair Wheat.
Frank Jacobs, who is farming 157
acres 2 miles north of Pershing, says
that his entire 40 acres of wheat is
looking quite promising, and that he
has a good stand Of clover in it. He
sowed his wheat the last Of Septem
Der. He has So acres of corn in and
is now right up with his work. Mr.
Jacobs said that, so far as he knew
the farmers have managed to secure

all the help needed. although there
was some complaint of shortage OF
farm labor earlier in the spring.
Predicts Higher Priced Hogs.
Lee Hartman, live stock buyer at
Pershing, says he Is still able to pick
up few hogs and that he shipped a
car to Indianapolis on Tuesday. Mr..
Hartman is bull on the hog market.
Says he expects to see hogs around
500 by September !, at which time he
judges that men who have been sell
ing their brood sows will be mighty
anxious to replace them at much high
er prices than they have sold for
| Farmers are selling both corn and
| hogs, and there isn't much feeding
being done This should make corn
| cheaper and hogs higher. 1t is really
| surprising how many brood sows !
have been able to buy and am sure
| these sows will cost more to replace,
| if those who sold them want to con-
tinue in the hog business"
I'VE are taking in lot of wheat
just now" said o. J. Mckee, manager
of the Farmers Cooperative elevator
at Pershing, on Wednesday.
"Our price today is S2.80 for wheat
and $3.50 for corn, very little of which
Is being offered. The oats around here
are pretty well cleaned up"
The capacity of the elevator at
Pershing is $4,000 bushels. The build.
ing is now being wired for electricity
and an electric feed grinder will be in
stalled later. The farm federation Is

up well, considering that this is the

ship will be planted by June /.
Is cuItivating Corn.
/ Spencer Geathers, living just west OF
Jacksonburg, has a lot of fine clover
into which 70 head of hogs have just
been turned. He has 81 acres in corn
"a part of which has been cultivated
for the first time" "We are not doins

FOUL BROOD FOUND
AMONG WAYNE Bees

Foul brood among bees has. been
found in WaYne county by County
Agent z. F. Murphy and state inspect
CT T. 1. Johnson, of the state depart
ment Of entomology. who have been
making an inspection tour in and
around Richmond.
State Inspector Johnson found one
apiary nearly destroyed by disease and
others slightly affected. The cause for
this condition, Johnson states, is the
carelessness of Keepers when the bees
die, In allowing other bees to rob the
infected honey and also in throwing
the Diseased combs into the yards and
allowing neighboring bees to rob.
The practice must be stopped and in
yards where the desease exists no bees
are to be moved or sold unless treated.
The keeper must be sure they are free
from Diseases before they are moved
All bees that are in box hives or cross
comb hives must be transferred as ii
Is a violation Of the law to keep bees
in anything other than hives with
straight combs. This is for the pur
pose Of inspecting the young brood fol
disease as foul brood is a disease oil
| the brood and not of adult bees.
Can Be Treated.
Foul brood can be treated If taker
in time. Bees must not be hived ir
any kind of box. Regular hives mus,
be used with a good foundation ii
frames in order to make the hive
straight.
County Agent Murphy has number
of model hives in his Offices which bee
keepers may examine. He also has {
model hive colony at his home which
persons are invited to inspect. An,
further information can be secured b!

Decide to Hold Wool OF
County; Buyers are Shy
OF Present Conditions

A joint meeting of the Wool Pool
committee, and of Wayne County Farm
Federation directors, was held at
County Agent Murphy's Office on Wed
nesday night. Mr.. Murphy reported
that at present there is no acceptable
cash market for wool, and that the
sixth district wool pool, represented
My the various county agents, in SEES
sion at Muncie last Saturday night, did
not receive a single bid for outright
cash purchase of their woods. The buy
ers present represented commission
firms, who would deal directly with
manufacturing buyers, when the mar
ket looked favorable, and in the mean
while would store and hold the wool.
Fears and Campbell, Of Frankfort,
indiana, directly connected with Lee
land & Adams, largest American wool
buyers, offered to take in the wool on
consignment and to advance 3SB
cents per pound until sold, at eight
per cent interest. The firm would
furnish bags, pay freight bills, to be
charged against the wool, and properly
grade and assert, so that each individ-
ual parcel will net the shipper accord
ing to quality. This was the best
offer.
Theodore Davis, president OF the
county federation, remarked: cit looks
as if the farmer would have to learn
to hold his stuff until the market suit
ed him, and know Of no better time
to start doing this than right now. We
should hold our wool" This idea pre-
vailed and Mr.. Murphy is to get quota
tons on wool sacks and Irvine, and is
to order same for members, they to
designate number of sacks and pounds
wanted, renting the cash with
orders.
Wool sacks are seven feet tall by
.hfee and one-half feet wide. 1t is
necessary that wool be stored in dry
place, should be dry when sacked, as
moisture, while adding to weight will
cause mould, If held long. All these
details are looked after by buyers and
commission firms.
At the close Of the wool debate the
federation directors transacted routine
business and adjourned.

MILK TO RISE TO =
IS CENTS Wy:BuYlNG
BASIS Is BUTTEREAI
BY WILLIAM 3. sANRoRN

Milk distributors are to buy milk
from producers on butter Tat basis,
beginning June /, and Richmond con-
sumers are to pay Is cents per quart
and s cents per pint. from that date.
This was the outcome of meeting
held at the court house on Wednesday
night. Heretofore city dairymen have
been buying milk, regardless Of but
ter fat content, at a hat price per 1oo
pounds.
Farmers are now paid sass at the
farm and 1925 per hundred delivered
at the dairies. On the new basis II
Is estimated that the average price
will be $3.50 delivered, at the new
summer schedule.
This arrangement does not suit the
majority of the farmers. They say
there is no profit at such q price;
that they have ben working to pay
feed bills and are entitled to q tar
living price. Most Of the men at last
nights meeting favor flat bulk rates
VIII Try j Sixty Days
1t was finally agreed that the farm,
ers would test out the new plan for
60 days, at the end Of which they
could better tell just what had hap
pened to them.
Milk retailers asserted that the but
ter fat basis was the proper way tc
buy; that the farmer thus received the
real value OF his milk. Milk from dit
ferent cows and farms varied In val
ue, and on the butter fat schedule
each got what was coming to him, the
price lowering or advancing 80 cents
per 100 pounds Of milk for each pei
cent Of butter fat contained.
The meeting was in session from
$3.50 to II O'Clock and there were
nearly 100 farmers and dairymeI
present.
Milk Producers to Organize
Toward the close of the meeting !
was suggested that milk farmers
should organize, get together and ge
acquainted, so that milk problems ma!
be discussed in a broad way.
George Kemper was selected a.
president and G. D. Thomson, o
Richmond. secretary. Mr.. Thomasol
requests all who sell milk to send hin
name, post office and rural route ad
dress, so that list may be compiled
of Wayne county milk farmers.
