COUNTY
FARMERS VOTE TO
POOL THEIR WOOL
Claude Harper and J. F.
Walker Address Meeting
Marketing of Lambs.

A small number Of Laporte
County wool growers in meeting at
the farmers room of the court
house Wednesday evening, voted to
pool their wool this spring.
The farmers were addressed by
Claude Harper OF the bureau Of
animal industry of Purdue Univer-
sity. and J. +. Walker. field mana
ger of the Ohio Sheep and Wool
Growers Association Of Columbus
O. Mr.. Harper discussed the feed
ing and marketing of lambs and Mr..
Walker sroke on the grading of wool
and marketing process.
For Pooling Wool.
Mr.. Harper stated that 1,2S1.152
pounds Of wool were pooled in In
diana asst year. This represented
about one-third of the total wool
cir. in every instance where the
wool was pooled the farmers made
the most money. The speaker used
a graphic chart 10 bring out the fact
that the average price for native
lambs ON the Chicago market for
the ten year period from 1912 70
1922 was the lowest in October Of
any month I'm the year. and always
the highest in the months OF April,
May and June. In the light OF
these figures. if farmers can get
lambs to weigh fairly well for these
early markets the returns are better
than at any other time of the year.
Mr.. Walker. who IS secretary Of
the Ohio Sheep and Wool Growers
: Association stated the association
has a warehouse at Columbus cost
ing S125. 900. and is capitalized suf-
ficientIy 20 do business on a large
scale The company however is
not accepting more wool than il can
handle. The storage charge by the
company TO date has averaged about
about 1 . cents per bag a month. o.
+. Bradfute. a vice president in the
national farm federation is an off,
cial of the company. Mr. walker
said The company was equipped
with splendid sales service and
the aim Of the concern was TO elm
mate speculation as much as pos
sible and shorten the way 20 the
market.
Scarcity of Lambs
In Ohio said the speaker. u. 900
600 pounds Of wool are produced
annually. The greater share of this
is pooled In commenting on the
number Of lambs in the country. he
said the total was 100000 less
than i'm 1910. and less than at any
time since 1910. The cOmpany's ar.
rangerlent in the matter of pooling
is to take . "a cents per pound for
its share. these charges 10 include
storing for six months. selling. in
surance, other expenses, and net
profit
The company allows 10 cents FER
100 pounds on the local loading
charges and prepays the sacks
This year the company will have
uniform receipts and shipping in
voices. Seventy TO 70 per cent Of
the value Of the wool will be adj
vanceG at once 10 all shippers. All
farmers viii receive the same price
for the same grade Of wool

HOW TO CONTROL
LIGHTNING Is A
FUTURE PROBLEM
Electrical Engineers Working
TO This End-Will Mean
Much to Farmers.

With Americas greatest electrical
wizard announcing the artificial pro
ductiOn of lightning, it IS but step
to the control of this destructive
element and the turning of it TO
some useful purpose. AS d fact there
are practical methods, practices and
appliances for protecting buildings
against lightning. but they have
made little Roadway because of the
suspicion implanted in the minds of
the people as "A result of the light
ming rod" campaigns of 20 years ago.
At the same time every fakir in the
land was selling lightning rods to
farmers and other folks in the
country towns, their interruptions
methods not being unearthed until
they had covered the country and
even cheated and deceived a great
number of persons in the cities The
lightning rod outfits made vast for
tunes and the farmers were left
holding the bag. Comfortable in
their feeling Of security, the barns

ful than the loss Of money
Unfortunately the government did
not lock the stable door until the
horse was gone but nevertheless
forward strid s can now be announc-
ed. To put the official mark of ap-
prevail of lightning protection meth
DDS. the Bureau Of Standards, the
Weather. Bureau and the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers had
Joint committee prepare a code
and many firmly established prin-
cipleS for lightning protection have
been esta blished. Indications are
that before long there will be de-
veloped practical appliances that
will make farm buildings and others
safer, if not entirely safe. The COM
mittee might wisely invite the crea-
tor of artificial lightning to suggest
means of controlling the force he -
now able TO employ. The farm
losses by lightning are very heavy
though fortunately the loss of life
is not very great. Also let it be
hoped that when appliances are ap-
proved they will not provide another
vehicle for the financial exploitation
of the public

According TO Or. Howard there
have been approximately $50 cattle
tested i'm Green township. but Fri
day night ne was unable to say how
many reactors would be found as
Saturday was the last day for the
final examination. He stated that
50 far the number Of reactors found
were of about the same percentage
as found i'm Center and German
townships
Some queer and interesting stories
have been circulated since the test
started and new ones are cropping
suf almost daily.
Ina most every case they prove TO
hc the fabriCations of idle brains
and are without foundation Of fact.
One that has gained wide circula-
tion is that farm bureau chairmen
never have reactors. This has been
disproved IN two instances already
and only three townships have been
tested. Another one is that reactors
are never found in barns which have
cement floors. Another that tuber-
cular cattle are always found OF
farms that feed sllaEe These and
several other stories equally unreas-
onable and ridiculous have been
going the rounds Naturally they
are not seriously believed by any
persons who are capable OF doing
their own thinking
Incidentally the state and national
government working in cooperation
with the farm federation have never
done a piece of work so vital 20 the
farmer. and 70 humanity IN general.
and the most hearty support should
be given this effort not only by the
farmers Of 81. Joseph county but by
milk dealers and citizens OF South
Bend as we'll.

Valley Set Afre
to Get Oil from
Kerosene Shale

SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. 70.
An experiment by John Fell
a In the treatment Of kero-
sene shals In the Wolgan VAL
ley, Blue Mountains New
South Wales, has led to a re-
markable discovery which will,
It is believed, revolutionize
present methods Of deriving oil
from shale.
Before the discovery oil was
derived from the shale by dis
tillation from retorts, a COM
paratively costly process. By
the new method the shale it
self is set afire, thereby form
ing Q natural retort which
drives the oil out Of the shale
in gushes. In no country In
the world has any body Of
shale been set on fire for
treatment purposes before, 80
that the work done by retorts
after great expense In mining
win for the future b per-
formed by nature.
Mr.. Fell set fire TO the great
shals body in the Wolgan VAL
ley. The oil flowed In such
volume that he was unable to
find enough containers to hold
It all.
