All Mail Matter May
Now Be Forwarded

An important ruling concerning the
forwarding of mail has just been an
nounced by the post office department
In the past the only mail that could
be forwarded was first-class. Under
the recent ruling all classes of mail
can be forwarded provided receiver in
filing a forwarding order with the
postoffice employees will sign an agree
ment to pay the extra postage.
By the new arrangement great
saving will be made for both the pub
lie and the officials. In many cases
mail other than first-class would fail
to reach the person to whom it was
addressed for several days as the re-
suit of delay in notifying the person
who in turn was required to send the
necessary postage. Probably by the
time the mail would reach the next
place the party would have left and
the same step would have to be TAX

five dreadnaughts and four destroy

anchored in the Bosphorus, near the

posing naval force which ever entered
that waterway. The coming of the

UNION COUNTY GETS
"a MEDALS IN CORN
GROWING CONTEST

With II corn growing medals, I'm
ion county led the state of Indiana
during 119 as a prize corn growing
county. Union county won IA med
ais in corn growing contests, two of
which were gold, five silver and seven
bronze. according to announcement
from Purdue.
Additional prestige came to Ind
lana farms during the year as re-
suit of the exceptional records made
by Hoosier farmers in the five acre
corn growing contest. The contest
is the real farm classic of the state,
and one of the most important events
of its kind in the United States.
Final tabulations made recently by
the agricultural extension department
OF Purdue in conjunction with the Ind
lana Corn Growers association, show
that the average yield of the 451
farms entered in the contest was rs
bushels to the acre, and that the yield
Of the 241 farms whose owners won
medals in the contest was SIS bushels
to the acre. These figures are in
marked contrast with the average
yield for the entire state, which is
only 81 bushels an acre.
The men in the five-acre contest de-
monstrated that 100 bushels of corn
TO the acre can be grown in Indiana;
"a of them produced more than that
amount. One hundred and two demon
ntrated that they could grow at least
IS bushels to the acre, and in some
cases 991s bushels; and lis others
showed that they could grow at least
IS bushels to the acre.
Greene County Man Wins First
w. H. Baker, Of Lyons, Greene
county, led the entire list of contest
ants this year, with yield of 1852
bushels to the acre, or a total of 591
bushels for his five-acre tract. Mr..
Bakers daughter, Ethel May Baker,
grew more than 1876 bushels OF corn
on a single acre in the boys and girls
club contest, but the phenomenal
yield of a Steuben county youngster
defeats her for state championship
honors. Last year, the same girl grew
113 bushels to the acre, and Mr..
Baker more than SO.
Fred w. Harting, of Farmers Re-
treat. Dearborn county, was a close
second to Mr.. Baker, with yield of
lis bushels to the acre. The highest
yield in the 1913 contest was that of
Everett Mcclure, of Auroro. another
bushels to the acre.
Eleven hundred men were enrolled
in the contest by June Is, the closing
date for entries, but the drought in
several parts of the state during July
and August. and the floods in the
southern half of Indiana, especially
during October and November, ruined
many of the five acre plots, in some
cases carrying away all of the corn.
Difficulties of various kinds cut the
final enrolment TO 451. Despite this
fact, the 1919 contest was the best in
the history of the contests, which
extends over seven years.
Much credit is due the county lead
ers Of the contest work for their eff
ficient help in organizing and promot-
ing the work in their respective coun-
ties" said the report of Professor G
|. Christie, secretary of the corn
growers. "The work last year was
placed on more Unconstitutional
basis than in previous years, and re-
salts have been demonstrated from
better fertilization, cultivation. corn
breeding and kindred factors OF corn
