INDIANA STATE FAIR

Matters at Indianapolis are now far
enough along to show that there will
be an overflow of exhibits in practical
ly every department when the fair
opens on Monday, September 4.
Neither strikes nor low prices for
farm products have dampened the ar
dor of exhibitors, nor are they likely
to diminish the crowds which will at
tend to see and enjoy the great an
nual show. What Indianapolis now
most earnestly desires and hopes for
Is a week Of sunny, pleasant weather.
Entries closed on August 81 but it
has taken until now to do the book
ing on same and to have everything
shipshape for the judges who viii
award the ribbons. This called for a
lot of clerical work and the force in
the office OF secretary Brown has
been rushed the past two weeks.
The new horse barn is much larger
than the one destroyed by fire and is
to be in readiness on the opening day.
In fact a number of horses already
have been placed in their quarters.
Lin Wilson, superintendent, says the
new structure will be filled to capac-
ity with light and heavy harness ami
mails, which will be seen in the Col
iseum each day and evening.
Although the low prices for sheep
and wool in the past two years result
ed in a cutting down of the flocks, U.
c. Brouse, superintendent, says that
the sheep exhibit will measure up to
the best years of the fair. Superin-
tendent Mack M. Coffin assures poul-
try fanciers that he is expecting his
department to put on the best poultry
show ever seen in the state.
The amusement features will be
many and varied, both for day and
evening. The Indianapolis Newsboys
Band will give hourly concerts at the
News rest tent near the administra
ton building, and there will be other
bands to enliven, the proceedings in
various parts of the grounds and
buildings

Treating Wheat for Smut

Last fall a number of farmers
had few bushels of wheat treat
ed with hot water to prevent smut.
The plots sowed with treated seed
were threshed separately. The
wheat tested from one to two
pounds more per bushel than that
which was untreated. Three-fourths
of the fields had smut controlled
and one-fourth showed from traces
to one-half of one percent of smut.
The untreated fields showed as
much as II to Is percent Of smut.
OF the reports on yield received
seven show an increase of 2.t
bushels per acre, five show the
same yield and two show a de
crease. The latter are accounted
for by the fact that treated wheat
grains were large and not enough
seed was sowed to the acre.
Mr.. Dolan is soon to begin the
operation of the plant this fall. He
recommends the following:
Treat III groups.
Three or four farmers SOW to-
sgether in the same field as this
will help TO prevent contamination.
Each man to treat 500 bushels
enough to supply all the seed he
needs for next year.
Does it pay? Try it and see.

Good Glover Seed Crop
A Noblesville man writing under the
date of August 80, says: Zone of the
notable features of the farm crops in
this part of the state is the develop
ment Of the little red clover fields that
have been depended on for seed.
Some of the most experienced farm
erS say prospects were never better
for good yield of clover. But one
of the things which is bothering farm
ers who will have seed to sell, is the
drop in prices. Cash clover was sell
ing in Toledo at SO yesterday, with
December quoted at $3.50. There are
many predicting that the market will

FALL FEEDING

September 1! The fall pig crop
will soon be with US. Feed has
not been scarce this summer and .
pasture has been abundant. For |
these reasons the pigs produced |
this fall should be good strong
ones. Will all of them be raised?
There is every reason to think that /
feed will continue plentiful for
pasture is still good and one of the |
best corn crops is well on the way
to maturity.
But is corn and grass exactly |
the thing to make the sows and
their pigs do the very best? Skim
milk and buttermilk have long been
recognized as excellent feeds for
growing pigs. Buttermilk can be
had on very few farms and the
surplus supply of skim milk is very
limited. The common commercial
substitute is tankage. How many
farmers have really thought of us
ing oats as a substitute for milk?
Tests to determine the value of
oats have been carried on at differ
ent Experiment Stations and by
many breeders. Almost without
exception those who have tried oats
in pig feeding are enthusiastic
about them. There is something
let's say VITAMINES - which
makes oats do the work and do it
right. Up in Canada it was found
that pigs fed soaked shelled corn
and skim milk gained almost 500
faster than similar pigs fed soaked
whole oats and skim milk This
shows that oats closely resemble
skim milk if food value and ex-
plains the reason for the failure of
good feeds to prove successful =
they have been wrongly combined.

BREEDERS OF STOCK
p, ASK EXHIBIT SPACE
IN BIG COUNTY FAIR

While Richmond business men are
soliciting funds for the fair expenses,
FARMERS continue to pour in requests
for space for exhibits.
Many applications have been post
poned, awaiting the opening of the
headquarters at Is North Ninth street,
but stock breeders on both sides of
the state line have stated their inten-
ton of showing and asked to be re-
membered when entries are made.
Many merchants also, dealing in
manufactures which find their great
est market among the farmers, have
been insistent in their demands for
display space for exhibits, reports
Charles Hodge, secretary Of the fair.
No assignments have been made as
yet, Mr.. Hodge awaiting the plot of
the grounds before he will accept ap-
plications, but indications are that
concession space will last but short
time after the plot is opened:
Women's Exhibits
An especial effort is being made by
Mrs. w. D. Scott, superintendent of
the women's division, to secure a wide
variety and number of exhibits and
make a display worthy of attention,

WHEAT FOR
WAYNE COUNTY

The question the farmer will
soon have to answer is: What
variety of wheat will l SOW this
fall?"
Seven varieties of wheat are
recommended by our Agricultural
Agent, Mr.. J. L. DolanAThree
bearded and four smooth. The
bearded varieties are Rudy, Red
Chaff or Gowan's and GLADDEN..
The smooth varieties are Michi-
gan Amber, Michikoff, Trumbull
and Poole.
Rudy wheat seems to be about
the best for yield in Wayne county.
This is the kind which has been
grown at East Haven for a num-
Der of years. 1t average around
80 bushels per acre. incidentally,
a plot sowed with seed given the
hot water treatment for smut at
the Centerville plant last fall, gave
a yield of SO bushels this summer.
Rudy wheat has a long, open head
light colored chaff and a stiff stem.
Eighty percent of the wheat
grown in Shelby county is Red
Chaff The appearance gives the
name. 1t has a very compact head.
GLADDEN. wheat is much the same
as Rudy but the head is much more
compact.
Michigan Amber is perhaps the
most popular of the smooth varie-
ties. 1t has a red chaff like the
variety of this name. The prinic-
pal objection to it is that it has
run out in this section-half of it
is bearded, having reverted to the
original type.
The Purdue Agricultural Expert
ment Station has recently brought
out a new wheat, the Michikoff, by
crossing Michigan Amber with Ma
lakoff. 1t has a short, very com
pact head and yields well.
Trumbull is grown extensively
in Preble County. Heads are long
and chaff is white.
The Poole yields well. It has g
rather short club head.
What variety of wheat shall
grow this fall?" The answer is
the same as to the question What
type of hog shall l raise? '-the
kind you think will give you the
best results.

5 to 10 degrees above that of the out
side air so that plants under them
were not injured by a light freeze
which killed unprotected plants in
that district. The growers stated that
the covers paid for themselves in Sc
curing better and more uniform ger
mination aside from the protection
against insects and frost.
The Price of Wheat
In recent market letter, sent out
by a Chicago exporter of grain, we
find the following comment on the
wheat market and prices:
With Canada drawing the export
trade that way, our market will be
left dependent upon the domestic
milling trade and the investor.
Whether or not the world situation
is such as to bring lower prices in
the future, it is a fact, just at the
moment, that the market is devoid
of any important buying power, or
incentive for the same. Until this
condition changes, and until Canadian
prices are more nearly on a parity
with United States, it would seem i'm
possible for the market to display
maintained strength"
In his editorial comment on the
wheat price situation in connection
with the above statement, writer in
the Indianapolis News, says: IF the
farmer is thrown back on the home
market, he must suffer from decreased
demand and falling prices. 1t is some
what interesting to reflect that while
his prices are falling other. prices are
rising-or tending to rise. A few days
ago the financial experts prophesied
another period of initiation, with ris
ing. wages and rising costs of produc
tion-a prophecy that has already to
some extent been fulfilled"
Farm Bloc and Tariff
In his analytical editorial the writer
remarks at the outset that we are
almost back to dollar wheat" In
the same issue of his paper we find
