The program in itself showed that
Miss Hadley is an artistic. Her polse
was an outstanding feature of the en-
tire performance. The inward re-

was noticeable in the feeling which
she put into her work. Her interpre'
tation was exquisite. In a group COM

played her versatility. The last of

compend of Miss Hadley's ability. She
was assisted in this number by Mrs.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William q. Sanborn

Allison Meyers, living southwest of
Liberty. is very pessimistic as to his
growing wheat crop. The country road
running by his place divides his 425
acres into two farms of even size, and
there was quite an acreage planted to
wheat, both on the home place and on
the farm run by one of the Meyers
boys. Mr.. Meyers says his wheat ism t
looking good, and most Of the farmers
rear him can rightly make the same
complaint. Asked as to probable yield
he stated that there is no telling until
he comes to thresh. Might not have
any to thresh,' is the way he put it.
From Straight Line Pike.
Delbert Fleisch, who farms on the
Straight Line pike, says that he didn't
plant great deal of wheat but what
there is of it is looking pretty fair
A part of his wheat was disced in oats
this spring, to at least insure some
feed and straw. AS to corn Mr.
Fleisch says he has so acres in and
that it has made a good start So far as
he knows all the farmers in his
neighborhood finished corn planting
this week, at least the latest of them
did, while the corn planted earlier is
now being worked.
Mr.. F1eisch says he has IS thrifty
rigs running on grass, and that most
! of them came early. His loss of colo
weather pigs was very heavy, about sc
per cent of the farrowings.
His Corn Looks Fine.
! Walter c. Bulla of Boston, says he
| has so acres of corn which made &
running start and has already beer
worked once over. Says too, that sc
far as he knows all corn is now ir
down that way, and that early planted
fields are being worked right along
Mr.. Bulla has upwards of 80 acres O.
wheat which is beginning to head anC
should at least make a twO-third:
crop. AS to hogs he has less of then
on feed than common at this season
having but 70 head of fall pigs. Hi:
loss of spring pigs ran rather ligh
this year and he has 100 or more OF
grass. He isn't feeding any cattle thi!
summer, the cost of feed and the pric.
Of cattle being too greatly out O
line.
Big Wheat Crop in Sight.
They have some mighty fine whea
on Crestview farm, just out of Lib
erty, according to Will Fosdick. There
are 90-odd acres in the three fields
and except in a few low spots where
water froze, it looks very promising
now that it is heading out. Mr. Eos
dick says his wheat is an fine as an,
he has seen in Union county and h
Is hoping for banner crop. ASKED
as to the weather and if he had beer
soaked with rain he said that al
showers had gone around them 70

few days in Union county and south

OHIO ACREAGE TO
DECREASE 100000
ACRES, PREDICTED

The state department of agriculture
backed up it's statement that planted
farm acreage in Ohio this year will
show a falling off of 100000 acres
compared to last year, in a statement
from Columbus.
Last year there were 11,546,625
acres under cultivation. This year
the total will not reach 100000
acres, according to w. F. Callander,
crop expert and statistician.
Other Startling Facts
Other startling features Of the pres
ent agricultural situation in Ohio are
these:
l. There is a shortage of approx
mately 10000 farm workers.
2. Ohio will produce 26,000,0
bushels less of wheat this year than
in 1919.
3. In April alone, with 20 rainy
days, when farmers couldn't work in
their fields, they lost a total Of 5,440,.
900 days of work.
4. In spite of the acute shortage of
farm labor, industrial agents now are
working in some sections, trying to
induce farm boys to go to the cities
and work in factories.
In making it's recent survey Of farm
conditions in Ohio. the state depart
ment of agriculture had the assistance
of some 1900 live, up-to-date farmers
representing every township. The
department has total of 4,500 spe
cial correspondents, distributed three
to a township, but only a special list
of 1900 were called upon. These were
furnished with missionaries.
From our 1900 correspondents we
are able to say that the chief cause Of
the enormous reduction in acreage
planted this year is the shortage OF
farm labor" sd id Callander.
There are 272O00 farms in Ohio
and normally 100000 men are needed
to do the work upon them. Our bes
estimate is that today there are only
| about 100000 men on the farms o.

In the Fox production Would You
Forgiven" which opens at the Murray
Theatre on Monday, as the first starr
ing vehicle of Vivian Rich, occurs a
scene which cannot fail to cause ser
ious thought among men and women
alike A wife is destroying certain
old documents and valueless keep
sakes. She discovers a letter written
to her husband in his bachelor days by
woman-a letter revealing their re-
llatiOns.
Every man buries a thing like that
| when he meets a woman like you,
the husband protests.
And every man expects woman
| like me to forgive him-for things like
| that" she replies. Il wonder if man
| like you would forgive a woman-in a
similar case?"
There is injected the old question:
Why should a mans guilt be easily

[ never?

When "The Romance of TarZan' Is
! featured at the Richmond theatre Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday, the large
number of film enthusiasts who have
! been sending in requests for weeks

have their demands gratifed.
According to the records on file ir

| "The Romance of Tarzan' presents
an even more gripping story, carrying

of primitive life and the higher walks

! that is both surprising and highly
satisfactory.
Scenery of the most striking beauty
provides a background for much Of

faith in hogs for later marketing and

HESSIAN FLY RE-APPEARING
IN UNION COUNTY FIELDS

M. A. Nye, county agent at Liberty
reports the return of the Hessian fly
in few fields in Union county. Just
what damage may be done TO wheat
is problematical, and so far the fly has
only been found in fields which were
infested last fall. Mr.. Nye inspected
several fields on Friday. and on Satur
day forenoon.
The pest, he says is not appearing
in large numbers as yet, so far as he
has been able to determine. In the
main, wheat is looking well anC
promises a much better crop than was
anticipated early in the spring. Some
parts of Union county have had ample
rain. while in other spots no rair
whatever has fallen for about three
weeks.
