LARGE CROWD SEES
FARM FLOCK CULLED

GREENSBORO, Ind, Sept. 5.-"The
most successful poultry culling demon
stration held yet" was County Agent
j. l.. Dolan's characterization of the
Clay township demonstration on the
farm of William c. Harris, north of
here, Saturday morning
A large number, both of men and
women, was present in spite of the
early morning rain, and gave close
which had to be held in the barn on
which ha tod be held in the barn on
account of the, continued downpour
The attendance was about SO and a
nice flock of White Leghorns was
available for the test Results checked
very close with the theoretical prac-
tice in this demonstration, the flock
being ideal for a demonstration.
The flock was the largest that has
been culled. numbering 359, and IT
took a good part of the forenoon to
complete the selection of hens and ex.
plantations to the spectators. the dem.
onstration starting early in the fore
noon.
Another culling demonstration is
planned for Clay township on the farm
of L. E. kinsey, mile south of
Green's Fork

The necessity of every farmer in
Wayne county sowing wheat and rye
after the ''fly-free" date, that is after
the danger of the Hessian Fly has
passed, was emphasized today by
County Agent Dolan
The fly free date for this county is
Sept. % to Oct. /. Under normal con-
ditions damage from the fly in wheat
and rye sown after this period is prac-
-tically negligible, while that sown be-
fore this date has much greater
chance of being infested especially if
fly was present in the crop harvested
this year. The fly free date in Indi-
ana ranges from Sept. 20 in the ex-
IRENE northern section to Oct. 10 in
the Pocket" about Evansville.
Reports from W H. Larrimer, feder-
al entomologist at Lafayette, and Prof.
y. J. Davis, head of the entomology
department of Purdue university, who
have done a great deal of experiment
al work with the Hessian fly, show an
average of 80 percent infestation over
the state this year. The stubble now
contains the fly in the flaxseed stage
from which the flies will emerge this
fall to attack the newly-sown wheat
and rye.
Fortunately more than half of these
flaxseeds contain parasites which will
destroy the fly, but even with these
parasites there are enough flies to
cause bad infestation and serious loss
in next years crop. Therefore, it is
of great importance that no wheat be
sown before the date set for this
county, but as soon afterward as pos
sible.
The Hessian fly attacks both wheat
and rye in the fall and barley in the
spring. Wheat is much more suscepti-
BILE than rye, the latter crop rarely be,
, ing damaged to any extent However

Preble County Farmers
Purchase Selected Seed

EATON, O., Sept 5.-Word received
from the Delaware county agent that
car of seed wheat was loaded last
Saturday, Sept. 8, for immediate ship
ment Purchasers of this wheat will
be notified when the car arrives.
This seed wheat is certified and
was purchased by the farm bureau for
distribution among farmers of the
county who are cooperating with the
farm bureaus efforts TO make Preble
county a source of pure-bred seed.
Some farmers in every part of the
county have pledged themselves to
SOW only pure-bred. certified seed. and
it is expected that enough will be
available to supply the whole county
next year. Portage and Trumbull are
the most important varieties selected.

Indiana State Fair Opens.
Well, the Indiana state fair is wide
open today and will be until Saturday
evening. If it didn't open on Labor
Day morning in blaze of glory, it did
open in the presence of a whole lot of
people, many of whom were early on
the grounds to make a day of It, II
being city holiday many townfolk
passed the turnstiles during the fore
noon. The various evening amusement
attractions will insure the presence of
city crowds at the night shows, which
the ruralist will also enjoy when con-
venient to stay over
The arrangements to feed all visit
ors will make it needless to fry and
| bake at home, or to carry a large ton
mage of food for the family. as was
the custom in early days, and which
many farmwives will always follow
! There is an immense cafeteria in the
Women's building where there is
plenty of well-cooked food at reason
able prices, also numerous other places
to dine, on the grounds.
Farm Credits Imperative.
Sidney Anderson, chairman of the
| joint committee of agricultural in
| quiry, says:
| There is immediate, imperative and
conclusive necessity of setting up per-
manent machinery to furnish credit for
| farmers production and marketing
! purposes, running from six months to
three years, to fill the gap between
short-time credit furnished by the
| national and state bank systems and
The longtime credit furnished by these
systems, farm mortgage institutions
and the federal farm loan system"
Mr. Anderson said further that this
credit must be of such character "as
| TO conform to the farmers turnover
and of sufficient flexibility TO meet the
varied requirements of different locali-
ties and different commodities. It
| must be extended for a time sufficient
| to enable payment To be made out of
| the earnings of the farmer without
frequent renewals, which add to the
expense of the borrower in fees and
commissions
Milling at Home.
In modern milling over 20 per cent
of the wheat is recovered as standard
patent -four, about l per cent as low
grade flour, about 2 per cent as Red
Dog -four and the remainder as shorts
or bran.
Il This shows why it is important for
us to ship -four rather than wheat In
the first place We employ more domes-
tic labor and circulate the most money
at home. Secondly, we have the by
products for feeding uses on our farms
in much larger supply, and at lower
prices than would be possible if cur
total supply of flour by-products earle
only from the flour consumed il this
country.

FARMERS ARE WARNED
NOT TO enter SlL0S
UNTIL BLOWER USED

Farmers who own or are buying silos
are warned not to enter the silos until
the machine blower has been turned
on, and has operated for at least two
minutes Unless this rule is followed.
the result is likely to be dead men,
warns the United States department of
agriculture.
Annually fatalities occur among the
farmers and their helpers as a result
of the workmen entering half-hlled
silos after the deadly carbon monoxide
gases have had chance TO accumulate
directly above the freshly ensiled corn.
A few days ago two Illinois farmers
were killed and another was rendered
seriously sick by silo gases which are
almost as dangerous as the poisonous
mustard gases used during the recent
war.
In this instance, one of the farm
workmen entered a 50-foot silo which
had been half filled the previous day.
Some time elapsed and when he did
not come out, another of the hands
assembled into the silo. Neither re-
appeared, though the other workers
shouted to them repeatedly to come
/ down.
Save One Life.
! L
| finally climbed into the silo He also
was Immediately overcome by the
poisonous fumes and only the fact that
others followed him, forced open the
extra silo doors and carried him into
! the open air saved his life. The two
other men were suffocated i'm
mediately.
Each year, a number of accidents of
this kind occur due largely to care
lessness and ignorance of the proper
methods of eradicating the dangerous
gases. The preventive measures are
simple and efficient and, where they
are followed. there is no danger.
No workman should ever enter a
partly filled silo, after the ensiled corn
has had an opportunity to develop
poisonous carbon monoxide gases
overnight, until the machine blower
has been started. The fresh air dilutes
and scatters the obnoxious gases to the
extent that they are rendered harm
= less. After the blower has been oper-
ated for two minutes, it is perfectly
safe for the workmen to enter =
Another precaution which should be
: practiced religiously is not to wedge
the silo doors into place until they are
needed 10 prevent the waste of the
. ensiled corn. Many farmers follow the
.practice of placing most of the doors
before any great amount of corn is
: cut and deposited in the silo This
! prevents free circulation of air through
| the silo which, in turn, operates to
, favor the accumulation of carbon
| monoxide and other deadly silo gases
