NATIONAL PARK HIGHWAY 1
 IS COMING OUR WAY

Considered in business way, tour ist returns to the west in 1920, for recreational, agricultural and indus trial enterprises, aggregated $250,- 100000. European tourist travel be- fore the world war reaped $500, 900, | 900 annually from Americans. Fresh strides are being made in Europe to regain that yearly shower of gold,
 The National Park-to-Parky High way association, in convention, in Denver, Nov. il to 13, proposes to take steps calling for transposal Of these figures, in 1921, through con- gressional aid in launching $10O, 100000 campaign for permanent jm- provement of the 5,590-mile wonder course, linking eleven national parks in nine states. The west ought to get the $500,000,000.
 Greater appreciation of the unsur- passed charms of the scenic west as a basis of competition to turn the tide of European tourist travel, is the for midable battle line now being thrown up by the official party dedicating the established dirt roads going to make up the master highway of the world.
 The challenge flung out with the call for the convention, in which the American Automobile association ard the National Park service of the de- partment of the interior, will partici- pate, is being met by the twelve most westerly commonwealths; also cham, bers of commerce, automobile and good roads associations, and progress i've agricultural societies. They are appointing delegates to the Denver convention.
 Congress will be memorialized to appropriate S100,000, 900 to hard-s sur face the entire motor course. The rightful diversion of European tour ist travel through the greatest educa- tional campaign ever undertaken by a congressional phalanx represent ing twelve western states, including Arizona, is the immediate task ahead of the 100 delegates when they meet in Denver.

FLAGSTAFF TO ENTERTAIN NATIONAL PARk.TO-PARK
 HIGHWAY PARTY OCT. 30 (ContiRed from page 1.)

leave the caravan here in California, I think there will only be two cars and the baggage-truck comi m g through Arizona, containing about ten people and you may rely on my word that these people are worth while and are among the best boosters in the west-where things are done with pep and vim.
 "Very sincerely yours,
 "A. l.. WESTGARD."
 When Mr. Westgard went over this route in his patchfnding trip a few weeks ago, though his itinerary was known in Flagstaff, no one showed interest enough to meet him.
 Immediately after receiving this letter Father Vabre made the ar rangments for the reception of the visitors as noted above. He will meet them at Williams and accompany them to the Grand Canyon and back here. It is probable, also, that a delegation from Flagstaff will accom- pany the party as far as Winslow af- ter the dinner.

numerous farmers concur.
According to Mr.. Goodrich, 60 per
cent of the.wheat crop is still in farm

sell at present prices. The crop was
large and is of fine quality. He says
oats yielded enormously" and the,e

are worth So cents, corn $40 per

Goodrich folks are satisfied that more

HESSIAN FLY'S COST
T0STATE, $5,75o,00O

Hessian fly damaged the Indiana
wheat crop to the extent Of $5,750.O0A
during the past year, according to es-
Inmates based on reports from
throughout the state to the soils and
crops department Of Purdue univers
ity. The fly was SO bad in some sec
tons that the wheat was not worth
cutting and in many places 1t was
plowed under this spring and the
ground planted to corn or oats.
This loss can be prevented the COM
ing year by late sowing of wheat, or
seeding after the "f1y-free" dates, &C
cording to Prof. A. T. Wiancko, head
Of the soils and crops department OF
Purdue. Purdue and government
entomologists have established by sew
eral years of experimental work, the
dates for various parts of the state
for seeding so that wheat will not be
damaged by the fly.
ION the experiment station grounds
at Lafayette the best results have been
secured during the last week in Sep
tember," said Prof. Wiancko. Abou'
one day earlier or later than this
should be counted for each 10 miles
north or south Of this latitude. When
there is Hessian fly in the neighbour
hood Is Is advised to delay seeding as
late as possible. Late seeding Will
often escape fly damage where early
seeding would We badly infested. There
is, Of course. a practical limit to the
lateness Of seeding. 1t must not be
so late as to put the wheat into the
winter in poor condition. Good fer
tilization will hasten the development
of late seeded wheat"
Posters with a map showing the ap
proximate dates for seeding in the
state have been sent to each county
The map shows that seeding should
be done, If possible, from Sept. 20 1r

The Farm and
the Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

AS showing how the price of wheat
Is liable to f1uctuate at country points
in times If active markets, we note
the prices paid at the flour mill at
Liberty. Last Saturday they took in
wheat at $2.4O, but the break on Sat
urday and Monday were so severe that
their Monday price was $3.50. On the
rally on Tuesday. they advanced again
to $2.35. The mill reports very few
oats on offer, and but little corn
They quote corn at $40 per bushel
No complaint Of lack Of cars just now
Fred Miller, elevator man at Col
lege Corner. says that since wheat
dropped below $3.50 farmers are not
inclined to sell. He doubts that more
than one-third of the wheat in his
vicinity has been sold, and certainly
not more than one-half of It, He says
the lack of cars has limited his bus
mess somewhat this season. Corn
prospects continue good, but no old
corn is being offered now, although
there is still a lot in farmers hands,
Average crops of corn are mostly fed
and sold locally; although there is a
certain amount of shipping in good
seasons.
Coal in at Fountain City.
dul L. bllllel, VI FOulldlll Slly,
reports three cars of fourth vein Hi
nois coal in this week, most of which
sold for $12 per ton, and the last car
will most likely go at $3.50 to men
who did not order when the price was
| first made. 1t seems that the miners
added to the original price on the last
to come in and the elevator is charg
ing accordingly. Fountain City also
has two cars of anthracite on the
road which may get here within a
week, possibly this week.
Mr.. Bittner maintains that there il
considerable corn around Fountain
City, but that no one wants to sell
especially now that the market is off
Wheat was worth $3.50 and oats So

Several cars were shipped last week

FIRST POLAND CHINA
SALE HELD IN RUSH
Co., OCTOBER 3, 1889
BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN

The first exclusively Poland China
hog sale, Of which there is any record
occurred at Rushville, Ind, and is re-
ported in Rushville Republican, under
the date of Oct 3, 1889.
John H. Bebout, living near town,
sold 20 Poland China pigs at sale, in
which horses, Jersey cattle, ETC., went
under the hammer, in Oct. 1886. At
that sale his spring pigs averaged
about $3.50 each, a remarkable price
at time when small feeders sold for
81 to "a each. Mr.. Bebout's son. ST.
mon, still remembers that mixed sale,
and the comment caused by the high
prices paid for the pigs.
In the summer Of 1889, Mr.. Bebout
decided to have straight Poland
China hog sale and advertised it wide
ly that fall. He sold 80 of his own
pigs and neighbors added II to the
collection.
at Beats the World"
The Republican Of Oct. 3, 1889,
heads the sale article as follows. ut
Beats the World! Ninety Rush county
hogs sold for 5.792.4O-average Of
s64.36." Following this the editor dis
courses on the wonderful prices real
lied as quoted:
"a beautiful day greeted the gentle
men from half a dozen states and
all parts Of the county, who gathered
at the fair grounds to attend J. H.
Bebout's annual Poland China swine
sale Tuesday"
Business opened promptly and the
bidding was spirited, no trouble be-
ing had in finding buyers for the splen-
did pigs offered for sale"
"Mr Bsbout sold 80 head of his own
hogs for $5.792.40-an average Of 1854.
SO. This more than doubles last years
sale which exceeded anything on re-
cord up to that time. The success at
tending the sale reflects the greatest
credit upon Mr.. Bebout's enterprise
and judgment and puts Rush county
far ahead of the world in this branch
of live stock breeding.
Seventeen other pigs belonging to
other owners were also sold. swelling
the aggregate of this sale for LOT pigs
to $6,212.50. or an average Of $500
on the entire lot"
The highest price realized for a
single animal was 1925 (for a boar
one year oldD and the lowest was SIS
Only three brought less than 500, Six
sold for more than 5000 each; and
20 others brought upwards Of $50
several of the number two or three
times that amount"
Herd Boar History
After giving the names of the buy
ers of all animals bringing from sec
up the editor continues.
THE boar Adam was put at the
the head of the Bebout herd about
that time. The next herd was George
Wilkes, bought at price of $125. Ir
1898 this boar was sold from the Be
bout herd for the phenomenal price
of $3.50. The buyers were so unfor
tunate as to kill him and at once came
back to the same herd to replace
him. They selected Mr. Bebout's boal
Guy Wilkes, at the then record price
of 5000. This boar had sold for 1881 in
Beboutt's 1890 sale, and a record price
then, and was later repurchased fol
use in the herd"
