while its daily market and other pro-
grams were being broadcasted to all
who may care to keep in early touch
with the markets, or TO enjoy the mu-
steal numbers. What may not be gen
orally known, however, is that the
Palladium station is how recognized
and licensed as a special government
station for the broadcasting of weather
reports, market reports. crop reports,
etc, as may be of public interest, and
more particularly so 10 the farmers to
whom weather forecasts and crop and
market news are often of paramount
importance. 1t is because this is true
that many communities are planning to
install wireless receiving sets in rural
centers, for the benefit of the farm
bureau or Grange; in fact, several have
already done this in the Richmond ra-
dius, thus getting the information de-
sired in advance of the receipt of the
daily paper Many amateurs in the
surrounding country are posting our
daily market reports and weather fore
casts in conspicuous places, a service
which Is much appreciated.

John Newman. we'll known farmer,
who is helping to make Greene town
ship blossom as the rose, has an
nounced his candidacy for township
trustee on the Republican ticket. We
understand that a number of his neigh
bors north of Williamsburg suggested
that he come out for the Office and said
they wanted the chance to vote for
him; hence his announcement.
AS to the effect of few days of al,
ternate freezing and thawing upon
Wayne wheat, it is hard to make an
estimate of damage, if any. One farm
er living in the northern section of the
county said on Saturday that in his
driving over the country roads he had
come to the conclusion that wheat was
looking 10 per cent better than at the
same time last year. He said, too, that
less wheat was sown along the Will
iamsburg and Bloomington pike last
fall than he had known to be the case
in many years. He instanced stretch
of 21a miles where there isn't a single
field of wheat visible on either side of
the pike, according to his observation.
As to wheat being damaged by frost

used for show purposes" Prof. Cliff
ford T. .Conklin, of the animal hus-
bandry d slartment at Ohio State Uni
versity, declared today.
He pointed out a junior calf is one
calved on or after January 1, of the
current year, and a senior calf one
which is calved between Sept. l of
the preceding year, and Jan. l of the
current year.
Nine more years and Ohio's lumber
supply will be completely exhausted,
if the present rate of consumption is
maintained, and no conservation meas
ures used, according TO n. w. Sherer,
forest specialist at Ohio State univer-
sity. "Ohio has 10 billion board feet
of timber still on the stump, which is
10 per cent of her original supply"
Scherer said THE annual consump-
ton in the state is one and three-quar-
ter billion feet, while the annual
growth at present is only 60 million
feet No land in Ohio is too poor to
grow timber.
Ohio now ranks fifth in the United
States in the production of corn, the
latest federal census reports show.
Figures covering the crop year 1919,
show that Ohio produced corn to the
amount of 149.S44,626 bushels. Iowa
is far in the lead with 1852 1913
bushels, and Illinois is second with
! 2S5, SAT, 031 bushels.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 20.-A farm
poultry feeding campaign, which. it is
said, will be the first of its kind ever
held in Ohio is being planned by the
Ohio agricultural college extension
service, under the direction of E. l..
Dakan and G. S. Vickers, poultry spe-
cialists. The project will start June
/, and continue through Sept. l. The
county agent will act as the leader in
each county.
Aim of the project is to develop
poultry raising throughout Ohio by
means of practical feeding demonstra-
tons 1t is desired that at least one
farm in each township take up the
work, which viii consist of feeding the
flock according to directions given by
the poultry specialists. The flock Sc
lected should be one that has not been
fed animal protein in the form of
milk, meat scraps or tankage for a
period of at least three months prev
ious TO the time the demonstration
starts.
Egg records will be kept throughou
the period of feeding demonstration,
and in this fashion it is hoped to drive
home to the farmers the advantage of
scientific feeding.
Beef cows should be bred so they
will calve as soon after Sept. or Jan

Chicago is the one great corn market
of the country, receiving 100000
bushels during the past week, also
about 100000 bushels of oats. Near
ly 100000 bushels of corn were
marketed at 10 western points in the
week ending Feb. Is, this being TO-
100000 bushels in excess of the ship
mentS of corn in the same week last
year, when prices were considerably
higher.
Cattle and Hogs.

point of the week at Chicago. being
25 to so cents higher than one week
earlier, the general average price be
ing the highest in over three months
the weeks average being $40.
Compared with a week ago Indian
apolis top hogs at sos were up Il
cents from the previous Saturday, and

VICTIM S OF
INFLUENZA

Those Who Are Weak and Rundown
Easy Prey to Widespread Epidemic
Doctors agree that people who are
weak and rundown are the earliest
victims OF the influenza epidemic,
whose ravages are assuming serious
proportions in New England and New
York
If you begin taking Father John 5
Medicine at once you build new
strength to fight off the grip.
The commonsense preventive is TO
begin taking Father Johns Medicine
at once because the pure food ele-
ments of which this old-fashioned,
wholesome body-builder is made are
easily taken up by the system and
turned into vital, resisting energy;
giving you fighting strength to ward
off the influenza germ
ment.

of Fort Wayne, and by which route
they expect to return to Illinois. On
the return trip they are to be accom-
panied by Miss June Tilton, the daugh-
ter of the house, who goes back to the
old home for brief visit.
I'VE have so acres in wheat which
was looking very promising when |
left" said Mr.. Tilton, land letters
from the farm say that il has SO far
escaped injury. We could scarcely
see the wheat in our fields at this
time last year, and at that we cut over
20 bushels to the acre in our neigh
borhood We hope for a much better
stand this season. We have two large
canning factories at Hoopeston and
more than 5000 acres are planted to
sweet corn. Over 400 men are kept
busy just raising sweet corn for these
plants Many truckmen did raise peas
and string beans for canning but these
are not profitable crops, so they quit.
One of our canning plants runs all
winter long, canning red kidney beans.
No. the beans are not grown around
Hoopeston but are brought in in car
loads from northern districts, where
grown. sheIled and dried"
1t is Mr.. Tilton's opinion that the
corn acreage will be cut in his section
of Illinois: that a lot of land will go
back TO pasture and much of it to soy
beans. He said that he had used soy
| hay and that it is all right. He said
too, that some of the sorghums, not
ably the sweet or sugar varieties, are
grown for roughage on many farms
and that 'all live stock. especially
horses, just love it."

to save in interest and other charges on his
stock.
Again, Indianapolis is the center of great in
dustral region, manufacturing goods of every
description, and is located almost exactly at the
point which has been determined as the center
of industry and distribution of the United
States. Hence the average freight cost charged
against the goods which the Indianapolis whole
salers sell is probably lower than for any other
distributing point in the country
If you make Indianapolis your market, you add
TO these advantages the fact that the whoesal-
ers of this city carry stocks as complete as
varied, as up-to-date and as economically priced
as you can find anywhere too, that are
specially selected to meet the needs of your

The discussion of tractors for farm

agent of Preble county, was started by
a talk on tractor and horse farming
costs by J, l.. Dolan of Wayne county.
It was shown that tractor, of the
average cost of $428 for years oper-

horses on the average farm in order
