The Farm and Farmer
:. Nv WILLIAM r. SANeORN ---

about a two days run to make yet,
when the fodder Is dry enough for
the work.
Mr.. Eliason also remarked incident
ally that he still has about 20 acres
OF his own corn in shock, which he
hopes to be able to shred before corn
planting time.
The fact is, gentlemen, that taking
it by-and-large. as they say in the
corn belt, shredding is quite chore
and there is more of it yet to do in
this section. than one would imagine
possible so late in the year.
Are Feeding Straw.
A farmer chips in the information
that during his threshing experience
last summer, two-thirds of the straw
was blown into the barn" for winter
feeding. This accounts for the high
price of straw just now" said he. ITO
have NOW full of nice bright straw
when it is 10 below is a mighty good
proposition for the farmer and his
cattle. 1t saves a lot of hay as a
filler"
Word comes from the Fountain City
district that farmers have been able
to secure all the corn huskers needed
OF late. The indications are that farm
labor will be easier obtainable in the
spring, and at lower price level
than during the past two years.

Cattle Tick Eliminated
by intensive Campaiipn

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-The cat
tie tick is fast being eliminated
through the work of the department OF
agriculture and the cooperation of the
states. OF the Is states which were
tick-infested when the work of eradi-
cation systematically began on July
l, 1906, six of them have been COM

are California, Kentucky, Mississippi,
Missouri, South Carolina and Tennes-
see.
During the year ending Dec. /, 1920
more than $4,000 square miles were
freed of ticks and since the work be-
gan in 1906, the area released has
been 51O.091 square miles. That is 70
percent of the 728,565 square miles in
tested with the tick when the eradica-
tiol- campaign began. The area re-
naming to be cleared comprises 218,-
474 square miles, all of which is in

EDUCATOR
PRAISES NAPOLEON
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-American
participation in the celebration by
France of the Tooth anniversary of the
death of Napoleon on May 5 next
was invited here Wednesday by Pro-
fessor William Mul'igan Sloane, of
Princeton, N. J., speaking for the
French committee headed by Marshal
Foch. A feature of the affair whose
objects, it is stated, are Ito bind up
the wounds of France" will be great
exhibition of Napoleonic relics at NAL
maison, France. to which collections
will be loaned from all parts of the
world.
Professor Sloane, who for AZ years
held the chair of history at Princeton
and latterly at Columbia University,
said that French statesmen, soldiers,
and men of law and letters as well as
other professions compose the commit
tee which is arranging the centennial.
Making all allowance for every
severe criticism of Napoleon's career"
he continued, sit is still true that his
work unified France, saved it from
partition among it's foes and in civil
life, prepared alike the foundation and
structure of the society which in the
world war saved France and helped
to save all western civilization. 1t
was by his impulse and guidance that
the financial credit of France was
restored, that the magistracy and ad-
ministration took definite shape. that
the Civil Code was promulgated. the
Bank of France created, the Univers
ity of France modelled on that Of the
State of New York and the Council OF
State organized.
"The French Committee especially
desires American participation by con.
tributions, by the loan of Napoleona
from American collections and, above
all, the moral support of intelligent
interest on this side of the Atlantic

A number of Percheron breeders are

mond. c. l.. Clifford, of Fountain City,
tells~,us that the date will be fixed as
soon as the auctioneer they are trying

be free to come to Wayne for day.
1t is expected that 80 head of fine
Percherons will be put up, and 20 OF
these already have been listed. While

Are Still Shedding.
Glib Morgan has been trying to do
little shredding on the Reidston
farm, hoping to get through with it
when the weather man wasn't watch
ing to douse him with rain. But it
has been an uphill business, the
shocks having very little chance to
dry. Arthur Curme has his own shred
der, and has done some shredding
from time to time, as time and wealth
er permitted, but this seemed to be
an endless job, so he called in the
gang"
This reminds us that Wood Eliason
tackled the shredding on the John
Wolf place, in Center township, on
the last clear day, and says he has
