FARMERS CALL
FOR SIFT OF
ALL FINANCES
Senate Resolution Provides
for Investigation of State
Offices.
ECONOMY is OBJECT

The financial affairs Of all offices and
institutions OF the State would be in
vestigated by a joint committee of the
Senate and the House of Representatives
under the provisions Of q resolution in
troduced today by Senator Maurice
Douglass of Flat Rock on behalf Of the
Indiana Federation of Farmers Associa-
tiOns. The resolution provides for the
appointment of two members of the SEN
ate and two members of the House. one
Senator and one Representative to be
affiliated with each leading political
party.
The convening Of the Senate was ac-
companied by the introduction of eleven
bills. Adjournment was taken at IL
o'clock until tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock. The House did not convene until
. O'Clock this afternoon.
The Douglass resolution would en-
power the committee TO employ certified
public accountants to assist in the work.
The purpose Of the Investigation would
be to eliminate duplication Of effort and
needless expenditures.
OBJECT TO CUT OFF
USELESS EXPENSE.
This work does not come under the
jurisdiction Of the Legislative Visiting
Committee Senator Douglass said, in
explaining his resolution. AT one time
it was found that State officials were
loaning public money and pOcketing the
interest. We have no way now Of deter
mining whether there are useless ex-
pendltures or Implications"
Senator William E. English Of Indian
apolis moved that the resolution be re
ferred to the finance committee. Senator
Douglass protested that he did not wish
the resolution buried" in the committee
and the President OF the Senate assured
him Ii would not be.
Docs this resolution apply to State
schools-Purdue University. Indiana Uni-
versitv and the normal school?" Sena-
tor Oliver Kline OF Huntington asked.
81 would say that this resolution
takes in all State offices and benevolent
and educational institutions and that It
Is designed to bring to the attention of
the Senate things which can be eimi-
mated. The condition OF the State, with
taxes high and possibly going higher,
demands retrenchment.'
BILL REFERRED
TO COMMITTEE.
Senator English then explained that
he had suggested the resolution 90 TO
the Finance Committee because he be-
lieved II should receive the same con-
sideration as other important matters.

Machine Gun Back in 17753

A controversy as to who first in
vented machine guns is one of the
wars aftermaths In France.
Lyon puts forth the claim of a
NJ. du Perron, who, In 1775, is said
to have submitted to the young King
Louis XVI, military "orgue" which
worked on crank system and could
fire twenty-four bullets almost stimuli
taneously. and consequently could an
initiate a whole regiment in few
minutes" according to contemporary
record.
The new weapon appeared to be so
murderous that the king and his minis
ters rejected 1t, and Its inventor was
held up as an enemy Of humanity.
The powers hostile to France tried to
secure the invention, but NJ. du Per
ron refused their offers from patriotic
motives and died in poverty.

According to the 1910 census the
center of population was In the city

LARGEST KNOWN FOSSIL BONE
Discovery Made in Northern New
Mexico Is Interesting for More
Than One Reason.

The largest shoulder blade of any
animal on record, ancient or modern,
has been discovered In San Juan basin
in northern New Mexico by John b.
Reside, Jr., of the United States
geological survey. This scapula bone
is part of an immense extinct dinosaur
estimated to be over one hundred feet
long and markedly larger than any
previously known to have existed.
Charles Il. Gilmore of the National
museum in Washington has assembled
the collection of pieces of this FOSSIL
scapula and has found that the total
length of the hone is more than five
feet, nearly as tail as man This is
five times the length Of the shoulder
blade of cow Of today.
The large fossil was found in the
part of the eartli ilai was deposited
and formed i'm the Upper Cretaceous
era, ana this indicates to the geologist
that the dinosaurs lived at n later
geologic time than they had previously
supposed. This fact has created more
stir in geological circles than the
size of the fossil.
Dinosaurs We're large reptiles with
long necks, little heads and brains,
and long tails Their bodies look
somewhat like that of an diversified
elephant with hind legs longer than
fore legs They dominated the earth
in the days When the limestone beds
were laid, but for some reason dis.
appeared from the earth TO give place
to smaller and llvelier animals.

COST OF PRODUCTION VARIES
Specialists Point Out .FaIIacy Of Con-
sIdering Average as Basis
for Figuring.

The fact that there is a wide varia-
ton on individual farms In the cost
of producing any product has beer
substantiated by recent cost surveys
conducted by specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Because of this variation, the special
it's point out, it is fallacy to consider
the average as representing the cost
/ Of production. For example, the aver
,age cost of wheat per bushel on the
4S1 farms studied by the specialists
last year was $2.51, but more than
, 30 per cent Of the farmers concerned
produced wheat at cost above this
figure, ranging up to an extreme of
$500 per bushel. Similarly the aver
age cost of cotton for the $40 farms
studied was approximately % cents
per pound, yet almost go per cent Of
the growers had costs above this aver
age.
The department now gives the re-
suits Of cost studies in the form Of
/. frequency tables in order to show the
proportion Of a product that Is pro-
:duced at\or below given cost and
to call attention to the Importance of
a bulk-line cost rather than average
cost In relation to price.

POULTRY MANURE

and Phosphorus.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The average poultry raiser attaches
little or no value to the manure pro-
duced by his flock. Its gradual accu-
mutation beneath the perches of his
fowls receives only occasional atten-
ton, in many instances, and even
when cleaned out more frequently is
thrown away. When it's removal be-
comes necessary he considers it one OF
the unavoidable and unpleasant evils
that go with the business.
Rich In Nitrogen and Phosphorus.
But poultry manure has very real
value, and may become profitable
by-product of the plant. 1t has been
determined by the Maine experiment
station, working in cooperation with
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, that the average night drop
pings of the medium breeds amount to
80 pounds a year for one fowl. On
this basis 100 fowls would produce
5000 pounds. or 11s tons. The

especially high in two of the three
principal fertilizing elements. If the
plant food contained in a ton of aver
age fresh poultry manure were bought
at the price paid. usually, for it in the
form of commercial fertilizers, the
outlay would be about SO.
Taking into account the fact that
the quantity of manure produced in
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1921-06-30

the daytime is at least equal to that
produced at night the specialists find
that one average hen produces about
go pounds of manure In year. How
ever, only the night droppings are
available for use as the day droppings
are widely scattered over the yards
and ranges. The nignt droppings from
1000 hens would be worth about $3.50
a year. AS hen manure, as it usually
is cared for, contains only about one
half it's original value, the loss through
this form Of neglect must be very
large for the entire country.
The town or city backyard-poultry-
man has two real incentives to induce
the saving Of his hen manure. In the
first place his poultry house should be
kept clean If his fowls are to be
healthy, and, In the second place, the
manure may be used Immediately dur
ing large part Of the year In the
orchard, or around berry bushes. How
ever, IL this immediate use Is resorted
to the manure should be applied some
what sparingly. 1t is from two to
three times richer in phosphoric acid
than the ordinary farm manures. This,
Of course, Is due to the kinds Of feeds
used, and also to the fact that liquid
and solid matter are together.
It can be handled most satisfactorily
If mixed with loan to remove stick
mess In the summer. In the winter 1t
should be mixed with a fair proper
ton Of loan, sawdust, or coal ashes,
sifted dried earth, land plaster, or
gypsum. Wood ashes and lime should
never be used as they set free the
nitrogen, which must be avoided.
Keep In a Dry Place.
To put manure on the ground In the
winter would mean to lose One-half or
more Of its value. The better plan is to
store 1t In barrels or boxes until time
to use on growing crop. When stored
this way the container should have
several large holes bored in 1t to admit
air. Some plants having several thou
sand fowls have large bins of concrete
for saving this manure. Untreated, q
large part Of the nitrogen escapes into
