K. of C's. Come Back. Defeat
r. A. Rs

n or - $ ZONE Back Defeat
R. A. Rs
Tuesday night the K. of C.'s and
R. A RS clashed in their second
game of basket ball, and romped on
their opponents. The game was
fought bravely but at no time did
victory show itself to the r. A. RS.
From start to finish they were wholly
Outclassed. The K OF C's wall of
defense was too much for the R. A.
RS
The game opened with remarkable
snap when Shadey scored a goal with
in half a minute of the whistles first
blow The succeeding goal which fol-
lowed Immediately went TO the other
side and the first half ended 9 TO Is,
favoring the K of c.
The second half showed a weaken
ing defense of the R. A. RS and the
K. of c. piled up a big score in this
half. Meier, the elusive forward for
the K. of c., was easily the star Of
the evening. His eaging was a puz-
zle to the opposing team. His total
number of points scored was %,
which means that he scored more than
half Of the total points made by the
K of c. Lattigan, though not play
ing up to his usual form, added II to
the score Wiesner had his hands
full IN guarding Gross but did it in
a wonderful way which prevented
Gross from scoring. Staah, Leiker
and BAIL did excellent work in their
line. Gross played well but his goal
gaging was poor. Shade and Albert
are deserving Of special mention. Rich
Bissing also played a good game at
guard.

Notwithstanding the fact that
Hays has recently built and equipped
fine High School building, the dis
trict pays a lower school tax than the
average town of approximately the
same valuation. By the withdrawal
of the property in the Vineyard
school neighborhood and the erection
of a new district, last year, it was
necessary to add nearly two mills to
this years levy to pay the new dis
trict for its share in the property,
amounting to about sS,OOO.OO. The
present district has g valuation of
S4,21O, 100000. The present levy is
e.5 mills. Other towns of valuations
between s4,OOO.O0O and s5,o0O,0OO
have levies as follows:
Olathe. valuation SAILS, 1000, levy
II mills; HoIton, S4,119.O0O, II
mills; Lyons, $4,126,OOO, 13.5 mills;
Marysville, $4,000, 900, II mills;
Ellsworth, s4,197,OOO 11.8 mills.
Beloit, with over s5,OOO,0OO valua-
ton, Ievies 20 mills; Hoisington,
s2,6OO,OOO valuation, 17.5 mills;
Great Bend levies IA mills; Eureka,

Out of 25 towns whose school dis
triet valuation is between s3,0GO,O0O
and $4,000, 600 only four have a low
er levy than Hays. One OF these
levies IA mills; one has 90, and two
have 9 mills. @. A. Shively.

Browns letter in the Hoosier Farme
states:

the pooled order to other firms in tn

In view of the fact that all sue
concerns have their regular source
of supply, and established credits,
is a moral certainty that numerou
firms will object to this proceedur
and refuse the business. In such in
stances the local purchasing commit
tees will send their bank letters o

who will fill the pooled order.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Director Mumford OF the Missouri
agricultural station. feels it his duty
to. call attention to the serious sit
uatton confronting the state agricul-
tural stations of the entire country.
For lack Of adequate financing more
than nifty per cent Of the directors OF
these stations have resigned during
the past five years. Among LOO work
ers at these stations there were 1,400
changes in the same period. "The sit
uation is very critical and is not being
met satisfactorily by state appropri-
atoms"
This is indeed serious matter. The
need for the best efforts of these
helpful institutions was never more
apparent than today. The supply of
bread and meats largely depends on
the results discovered by the bureau
OF agriculture and on the work done
at the state colleges.
II Is claimed that only one per cent
OF the federal revenues were expended
for research, education and develop
ment In 1920" Nor do the various
have all done their full duty in this
regard. Be that as, it may, we are
assured that there remains much to be
learned, and that a thousand pests to
crops remain to be destroyed. The
betterment of agricultural conditions
the country over depends so largely on
what is accomplished by the field
workers from Washington by the state
colleges and by all research men that
we cannot afford to cut down the num-
Der or workers, nor to reduce their
facilities for experimental effort.

Farmers Must Pay Cash.
Every farmer has seen a world of
advertising. Haunting in large letters
the catch line, Send No Money"
But the Federated Marketing Serv-
ice of Indiana are not fixed to do bust
ness that way. They operate on a
strictly cash basis to take advantage
OF every possible price inducement
and discount. Should the pooled order
Of any township or county marketing
committee be sent to the state market
ing service, President Brown of the
federation instructs that "a letter OF
credit from a hank must accompany 1t
before it will be honored."
This rule is absolutely necessary in
the circumstances, because neither the
county or state marketing committees
have either credit or standing with
the concerns from whom they are to
buy. The buyers are not in business,
have no financial rating, and may only
hold office during the year for which
elected or appointed.
So, then. when a pool Is made up
the cash must be paid in. Not by
the local purchasing committee, but
by each individual farmer. even if
has to borrow the money. The local
committee does the rest

LARGE PERCENTAGE
OF STERILE CORN
CAUSES SEED TEST

General reports that corn which Is
being tested shows a high percentage
Of dead or weak kernels, are inspiring
farmers of this section of Indiana to
test their corn aud make sure of pos
sibility of growth in time for spring
planting.
Owing to the favorable season last
year, there had been till now, an i'm
preston that there would be little
| corn thrown out in tests, as it had
plenty of time to ripen and dry, and
there has not been much severe cold
to weaken even corn stored in exposed
places.
Much to the surprise, however, of
those careful ones who decided to
make assurance doubly sure by tests,
more than the average OF corn has
been found to be incapable of growth,
and farmers who had not intended this
year to test, or those who have never
tested. are this year testing for ger
mination in order that no work may
be wasted on ground which is occupied
by weak or barren stalks, or no stalks
at all.
President Davis of the Wayne coun-
ty farm bureau, was the first to report
IN this county that corn tests were
turning out unfavorably, and give
warning Of the necessity of testing
His reports stimulated others to run
tests, and, though percentages Of non
viable see vary, all are finding that
testing is wise move, either by dis
covering the weak ears, or in rare
cases, proving that there are no weak
ears, and allaying disturbing doubts.
Supervises Test.
Rush county, which makes a prac-
tise of running termination tests as a
county activity, the tests being super
vised by the county agent. was the
first county to report poor corn. The
Rushville Republican says: Seed corn
being tested in the county agents
Office is averaging from five to 40 per
cent bad. The county agent has test
ed to date 80 bushels of corn-most
OF the corn discarded is thrown out be-
cause OF disease-although much is
found to be weak and showing poor
qualities which would make planting
improbable"
Charles Robinson, county agent of
Fayette county. says: mo reports OF
very discouraging tests have come in
to this office, but we are not very we'll
organized yet. | know that many ears
were thrown out at corn shows be-
cause Of poor vitality, and I would not
care to state that seed corn this year
Is strong"
termination Lacking.
Union county reports, through the
agent Foster Campbell, that no figures
are available there on tests, but that
there is general impression that corn
this year is lacking in termination.
Randolph county. Roscoe Fields.
agent. has conducted tests in the office
and farm tests, supervised by the
agent, which show an average of 20
per cent of the corn dead or weak or
diseased. This average is the same,
also for private tests reported by far
mers of the county.
The number of dead, weak or dis
eased ears which have been thrown
out by Theodore Davis of Greensboro
IN his tests runs as high as 40 per
cent, which is the maximum reported
by Rush county. Other reports are
not so high, but all are finding enough
bad ears to make testing worth while.
