FREAK SCHOOL PROBLEM RESULTS FROM new
OHIO LAW; PREBLE COUNTY COURT TO DECIDE

EATON, O., Aug. 30.-The Kumler
new school law, of which State Sena-
tor G. NJ Kumler of the Preble-Mont-
gomery county district is father, has
created a problem in school affairs IN
Preble county that has been lodged
in the county courts for solution.
The problem for solution relates to
Reuben Koch, former school supervl-
sion district superintendent, who, I'M
der the new school law, lost his
position, as the new school code abol-
ished the district superintendent post
and created in its stead the post
of assistant county school superin-
tendent
Contract, No Office
Here is where the rub" comes in:
Koch holds a contract, it is claimed,
for another year as district superin-
tendent, despite the fact that the
office has been abolished. And incl
dentally it is a matter of $4,000 to
Koch, as, it is claimed, his contract
calls for term of two years at $4,000
a year He completed the first year
of his contract on August 81, this year
Koch does not figure as a plaintiff in
the problem put up to the courts.
Boards of education of six school dis
tricts in the county bring the court
action against the county board of
education, the board of education of
Harrison township and Eldorado school
districts and S. G. Hunt, as auditor of
Preble county, to prevent any arrange
ment for payment of the salary of the
new assistant county superintendent.

tract he is said to hold.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

A. G. Lupton, a Hampshire hog
breeder living near Hartford City,
sold fifty head under the hammer, last
week, for a total of $2,435. This made
an average of S48.70 per head, which
wasn't a bad price, compared with
similar sales of other breeds this sea-
son.
The dean of the Indiana Veterinary
college at Indianapolis addressed
large gathering of live stock men and
farmers at Chesterfield, near Ander-
son, on Thursday of last week. His
lecture was devoted to the eradication
of tuberculosis in live stock. B. c.
Julian, state veterinarian, gave a SINH
lar lecture at the Y. NJ. c. A. in An
derson that same evening, using the
same films.
A number of Indiana Hereford cattle
have been purchased to stock the farm
of w. r. Hearst, n California.
Twenty head of Indiana's best Here
fords were purchased. largely from
the Vannatta and Shadeland herds at
Lafayette, a few being purchased from
the Former stock farm at Decatur, and
from the Isley herd at Decatur.
Soy Beans Attacked.
Virgil Mood, Gibson county agent,
| has been asked to capture and send to
Purdue specimens of the pest which
| have defoliated the Richie Summers
| soy bean field. This beetle did some
damage in Alabama two years ago,
| and got as far north as North Carolina
! last year. So far this insect has not
| been identified in Indiana.

Farm Failures in Plenty.
In all our urging of the boys to
stay on the farm" says the editor of
| Farm Life, we must not forget that
some boys have talents for other
work, and without their heart is in
farm work, will make a miserable
failure at farming. So while it is
most desirable to make home life on
the farm pleasant and attractive to the
Young people, it is criminal to hold a
boy on the farm when he has talent
for other work. Had a certain bow
with craving for law, been held on
the farm. our country might have been
without the guiding hand and brain of
| Abraham Lincoln in those trying sos
One must make sure that the boy has
fair opportunity to judge the appeal
the farm makes, but if he has other
talents. they are equally God-given tai
ents, and must not be buried We
have enough failures on the farm as il
is"
Kentucky Coal is Lower
The secretary of the Kentucky state
farm bureau notifies the entire organi
cation that Kentucky miners have low
cred their prices, f. o. b. mines, as
follows: Best block coal is now 1855

weeks ago; stove size is 1926 agains
1855; Straight Greek egg is $295
instead of $3.50, while mine run i:
quoted as low as $1.S5 per ton.

mines goes. 1t is what is added il

acre wheat contest has been launched
in Randolph county by the Peoples
Loan and Trust company of Winches-
ter for the fall crop 1921 and 1922
The slogan of the contest is, More
and Better Wheat" Corn contests
started by the bank 10 years ago have
proved successful and have been OF
great help in securing more and bet
ter corn for the farmers of Indiana.
The purpose of the wheat project
is as follows:
]. To encourage more and better
wheat
?. To encourage a diseasefree
wheat as near as possible.
8. To encourage the seeding of a
pure variety of wheat.
4. To encourage the seeding of a
variety of wheat free from rye, cheat
cooked and other varieties of wheat.
5. To encourage better preparation
of the seed bed
6. To bring out the better methods
of seeding, fertilizing, lining, manur
ing, nagement and care of the crop
The awards will be on the follow

cooked, other varieties, disease, 40 pei
cent.
Yield per acre, 35 per cent.

last year on same date 1t also showed
that 80 per cent fewer had enrolled IN
the agricultural courses. indicating
that hard times on the farms have
discourage farm boys from seeking
that kind of training.
You may not be superstitious but
they tell US that IS is an unlucky num-
Der for fertilizers. Every fertilizer
should at least contain IA percent, so
then, all numbers below IS are equally
unlucky Add the numbers on the
tag"
Farmers wives having choice flow
ers should save their own seeds and
bulbs this fall. and every fall, where
such saving is possible. Properly
mark the seed packages and put them
away where they won't freeze.
Membership Drive in Preble.
The Ohio state federation has a
number of solicitors in Preble county
assisting in the local membership
drive. Preble county paid about $4,000
into the farm bureau last year, at $40
annual dues, signatures being taken
for three years. Farmers are being
signed up now for two years, which
will make all expirations at about the
same date in 1928. 1t will be interest
ing to see what happens then. Much
will depend on what the farm bureau
has done for the farmers up to that
time. There can be no controvertine
that conclusion.
Liberty Bonds for Bulls.
At the suggestion of T. F. Tucker
county agent of Cole county, Mo.
farmers are exchanging Liberty bonds
with breeders for pure-bred bulls
Having more bonds than cash, and
needing the bulls worse than they
need the bonds, farmers are making
a good trade, for the exchange is oil
benefit to both parties in the trans
action. This policy of exchange has
resulted in displacing 29 scrub bulls
| making Cole county rank third in the
Missouri better bull contest"
