WHEAT TAKES UPSWING
DESPITE STRIKE TALK

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Wheat prices
took a decided upward swing today
influenced more or less by belief IN
various quarters that the president
and his cabinet would find a solu-
ton for the threatened general rail-
road strike. The market closed strong
at 8 IL to IL net higher with
December los to los IA and May
112 Ia to 112 IL. Corn gained IS
to rs and oats IA a 3-S TO "a
In provisions the outcome varied
from the same as yesterdays finish
20 S5c higher.
Notwithstanding the breakup OF
.he parIey here between the railway
employees representatives and the
government labor board, prices for
wheat had an upward impetus
throughout the day. Spectators led
the buying and offerings were so
readily absorbed that shorts hurried
to cover and thus aided the advance.
Word that Europe had taken 1000.
600 bushels OF Durum and Manito-
bas counted too as a bullish factor
and so likewise did general recogni-
ton that for several days the market
had been acting as II oversold.
Corn and oats reflected the
strength OF wheat. Rural offerings
were small.

This Township Farmers
Organization is Aliue

The Springfield township, Laporoe
county, farm bureau, Is one OF the
live township organizations Of the
farmers association IN Indiana
This is shown by the report of Sec
rotary Harry DanIelson. During the
past year. ten regular township
meetings were held with an average
attendance OF 90 farmers at each
meeting There also were several
committee meetings at the Michigan
City Chamber Of Commerce at
which officials OF the South Shore
railroad were present.
These meetings resulted in better
milk train service and in an investi-
cation of the mari deposits at Tee
Lake. The mari will be applied on
the acid soil in the township. On
two occasions the Michigan City
Chamber of Commerce entertained
the farm bureau socially and last
winter conducted an educational
short course for the farmers.
Springfield township farmers also at
tended several joint meetings with
men from Coolspring, Michigan and
Pin (Porter county, townships and
in cooperation with these other
townships shipped out six cars of
seed wheat and one of seed rye.

BOYS AND GIRLS
CLUB FACTOR IN
SOIL PRODUCTION

Bows and girls club work is one
of the most valuable features of the
work of the St. Joseph County Farm
bureau for the purposes of improv-
! ing agricultural conditions and prac-
toes. The clubs are formed with
the primary purpose Of instructing
( boys and girls in correct scientific
agricultural methods, and the girls
/ in home economies, and to assist
/ them in demonstrating these meth
| DDS for the improvement Of the home
/ and the farm; TO aid in the develop
ment of cooperation in the family
and community; to create a more
I favorable attitude toward the bust
ness Of farming and home making by
encouraging property ownership and
the feeling Of partnership. In DrleI'
10 make rural life more attractive
by providing organization which
tends to diminish isolation and de-
velop leadership.
These objects are in process or at

results have already been obtained
Better pigs have been raised and
finer cattle. both dairy and beef, are
now bred. Registered animals are
now a common thing among home
project workers. where only a Few
years ago they were unknown, while
there is a systematic effort TO curb
out the scrub livestock and poultry.
Large Yields of crops have been
made BY club members on lands
which had not produced bountfully
before, and little girls are wing with
the best PACKERS in canning ana
preserving fruits and vegetables, and
are becoming a potent factor in help
ing TO make the farm more attract
i've and enjoyable.
Recent statistics show that the av-
erage yield per acre by club mem
bers in the growing OF field corn
Is two TO three times as large as
the average yields in states in
in which boys and girls organiza-
tons are not in active operation.
Persons seeing a boy or girl here
and there engaged in club work,
do not realize the value OF the pro-
ducts raised by these young folks in
the aggregate.

part OF club work. Many boys and
girls have their vision OF life en-
larged by club membership. A large
number are taking college agricul-
tural training. The agricultural In
situations OF the country have profit

Many boys and girls have made their
own college expenses through club
activities, while a number after
graduation have returned 10 the
farms or engaged IN extension work

directly from an infected person.
There is no attempt TO dispute that
the tubercle bacillus, which causes
tuberculosis does exist in milk from
tuberculOus animals Research clear
~ discloses that thousands of in
fants die annually as a direct result
OF diseased milk from infected COWS.
while adults are not at all immune
from contracting disease by consum.-
ing the contaminated product. There
is sufficient evidence to overwhelm-
ingly prove that disease may be
transmitted in this way to make the
use of milk from tuberculous cows
too dangerous to be tolerated.
Source of Infection.
The tuberculous COW is not only
a menace TO her mates, but is also
the most common source of infec-
ton to swine, particularly where un-
pasteurized skim milk is utilized in
the pork ration. The central skim
ming station is a source of disease
transmission where the skim milk is
not pasteurized. as this material is
returned to the farm for feeding
purposes, and the contaminated milk
Of but a few COWS may infect the
entire supply. Similarly, under corn
belt conditions where hogs follow
cattle in the feed lots or pastures,
tuberculosis is rapidly transmitted.
Swine may also contract tuberculosis
by eating parts of the carcasses of
infected cattle, swine or poultry.
Other contagious diseases to which
cattle are not liable but which may
be spread by milk are scarlet fever
typhoid fever. and dlptheria. Reli-
able statistics are convincing that
milk is sometimes the cause of the
spread of such contagious disease.
and occasionally a serious epidemic
may be traced TO the milk from a
single farm
Since il is a commonplace saying
that milk is a perfect food, it is only
logical that great care should be
observed in preserving its purity. To
the growing child, no other food can
satisfactorily replace milk each day
as a part OF the diet. Hence, it is
obvious. that dairymen should take
every precaution to see that their
herds are regularly and scientifically
examined, as there is no single food
of such vital Importance to our ma
tional welfare.
Consumers should always insist
upon having clean milk, and they
should also remember that cleanli-
ness should not stop at the dairy,
but should be scrupulously main
tanned at every step Of the way to
final consumption.

MARSHALL FARMERS
SELECT SEED CORN
FROM FIELD STOCK
Results From Test Plots Show
Yield Can Be Increased
by Method.
BY V. v. CLARKE.
Farm Agent, Marshall County.

Farmers OF Marshall county are
picking their seed corn from the
stock since visiting the demonstra-
ton field on the farm OF Arthur
Sheetz near Bremen. where a plot
OF 500 rows was planted. each row
being planted from a single ear. BY
studying the results OF this test, It
was found that good ears did not
necessarily produce good yields al
though 10 is a general tendency. In
checking over the results IL was dis
closed that rows side BY side. would
vary as much as so pounds to the
row. which in terms Of acreage,
made a difference Of 80 bushels to
the acre. due entirely 10 the seed.
The rows contained approximately
90 hills Row Is produced 90
pounds OF corn. while row II pro-
duced l57. a like result was found
in rows 60 and 81. one row p~Iuc-
ing So pounds, and the other Ia;
almost doubling the yield. The
highest yield was ia pounds. the
second, I'll. while row 40. which
produced ia, also produced is
either side only produced two and
three seed ears. thus showing that
the individual ear planted on row
40 was a well bred. strong. prOduc-
ing ear. which reproduced tests,
making IL a very desirable row to
select from. Farmers in looking the
pIot over. noticed that this row,
with its high yield. was character
lied by medium sized. strong. heal
thy stocks. broad leaves still hang
Ing after having gone through three
hard frosts. They also noted that
row 81. with SO pounds, less than
han what row 40 produced, was
characterized by weak stocks, from
which the leaves have been dropped.
due 10 lack OF vigOr and health
Considerable evidence Of fusrian, a
com mon disease which causes barren
stocks was apparent on rows 81 and
II. the two lowest producing rows
in the plot. This combination of
disease and type 20 stock provides
convincing evidence that there is
only one way to pick good seed, ara
that is from good healthy stocks in
the field.
As a result or this meeting a dozen
or more ear-tO-rOw corn tests have
been placed for next year. and 10
or 100 seed plots in which nothing
but the very best Of corn viii be
used for seed These will be i'm
proved by detasseling every other
row and picking the best corn from
the plot.

SAN JOSE SCALE
SERIOUS MENACE,
SPRAYING URGED
Use of Lime-Sulphur Advised
to Save Orchards From

According TO current reports many

by San Jose scale. In fact, In some
quarters the pest has become Seri-
Gus problem and one which must be
given prompt and thorough atten-
ton IL the trees are to be saved.
Entomologists advise regular spray
ing with lime-sulphur as an effective
means of checking the insects, but
neglect and improper methods Of
material may result in heavy infes-
tation requiring special control.
Spring treatments are recommend
ed, but If fall spraying is practiced,
either alone or in combination with
spring applications of the dormant
spray, the application should be
made as soon after the leaves fall as
possible, between the dropping OF
the leaves and the time the trees
become dormant. he light to mod

by the regular lime-sulphur spray.
using by preference either CONNER
cial concentrate one gallon to eight
of water or the home made lime
sulphur.
For heavy incrusted infestations
use a standard miscible oil the first
season and Ime-sulphur thereafter,
for while miscible oil Is an effective
dormant spray for one application,
there is some question as to its effect
on trees where used regularly year
after year. The time OF application
has an important bearing on scale
control.
The best time to apply either Of
the dormant applications is in the
spring as soon as possible before the
buds burst In the case Of lime
sulphur no injury to apple will re-
suit even if the application is not
made until the leaves are the size
of ones thumbnail.
There is also an indication that
effective control of the serious scale
infestations is more or less depend
ent on summer spraying and it has
been found that summer applica-
tons Of lime-sulphur TO apple, using
one gallon Of the liquid concentrate
to 40 gallons of water, hiss a very
important bearing on scale controi

If the infestation is serious.
Whether fall or winter applica-
tions are made and whether lime
sulphur or miscible oil are used,
thoroughness of application is es-
sential. Seldom can this be accom-
pIished unless the trees are sprayed
from two sides, spraying the oppos-
it's sides on different days, II neces-
sary, depending on the favorableness
OF the wind. Thoroughness is also
dependent on the operator and there
seems to be sufficient evidence TO
warrant the use of the spray rod
