INDIANA FARMERS
DELAYED BECAUSE
OF BAD WEATHER
Some Rust in Wheat Reported
by Indiana Crop Reporter
e.. C.. Bryant.

Rainy weather during the last half
OF the month just ended has retarded
farm work considerably, says George
&C.. Bryant agricultural statistician
fo~ the cooperative crop reporting
service, in his summary of Indiana
farm conditions for the last half Of
March. Roads are bad, farmers have
been unable TO prepare ground for
ccrn and oats, some rust has develop
ed in wheat and little corn is being
marketed because Of transportation
difficulties between farm and ele-
vator. according TO the report which
follows:
Temperatures during the last two
weeks have been very erratic and
generally below normal. With only
a few days Of good weather and
much rain field operations have been
practically at a standstill in nearly
all sections Of the state. a very
small percent of the fields have been
prepared for spring planting. Roads
are very bad.
Roads in Bad Condition.
Seed corn testing continues with
4LAAA Cd-44lE inter ESAt d4llunEA TIC
weather has been such that no fields
could be prepared. But little is be-
ing marketed because Of the condi-
uon Of the roads.
Wheat shows considerable improve
ment over the last report. but IL is
too early to judge definitely the
amount of damage done by the Sc
we're weather during January and
February. Some rust has developed.
The oats acreage will probably be
cut 10 some extent IN the northern
pa. Of the state because Of the late
ness of the season and farmers be
ing unable 10 prepare their fields. A
little sowing has been done in the
southern counties.
Barley prospects are about the
same as oats.
Rye is in good condition general
", but damage has occurred in some
localities by water standing in fields.
Pastures i'm Good shape.
But little hay or clover seed has
beer planted 10 date. Most OF last
years clover and alfalfa paintings
look good. Pastures are greening up
nicely and stock Is being turned on
10 them In localities.
Earlier varieties of fruit trees in
southern counties are in bloom.
Some damage reported in northern
counties by severe weather.
Many deaths are reported among
spring pigs. due in some cases 10
pneumonia. in others TO sows eating
too much moldy corn. Other live
stock IS In fair condition.
The farm labor supply is plentiful
and the demand light.

DR.. Darden and His Assistant,
Vim. C. Phelps, Have Put
Farm on Paying Basis.

Patients at Healthwin hospital will
not have TO worry about where their
fried chicken is coming from this
year.
Dr. St c. Darden. with the assist

service man at the hospital has not
only developed the poultry farm TO
point where it furnishes all the
egs necessary for institutional use,
but just at the present time there is
enough surplus 10 market go dozen

According to DR.. Darden the hospi-
tai uses 500 or more daily, so this
brings the egg yield from the five
acre poultry farm up TO 1900 eggs
daily. This from approximately
$500 laying hens is considered a
pretty good average yield.

PREPARING SEED POTATO BED

Il pays to have the potato ground
in good shape. Select the best piece
OF ground you have. You are putting
more money into the seed than for
any other farm crop and probably
moro into the cultivation, too, and so
you should have the best land. Clo-

CASS COUNTY HAS
TESTED OYER FIVE
THOUSAND CATTLE
Thousands of Dollars Have
Been Saved Farmers by
Tuberculosis Tests.

over 5000 head of cattle in Cass
county have been tested for tuber-

by nine veterinarians. There are
reported 10 date over 220 head Of
reactor cattle. most of which have

may rid their farms Of tubercular

in the county.
The Farm Bureau in paving the
way for this great work has made
possible a saving Of thousands Of
dollars 20 the farmers of Cass coun-

tally as the work goes on. Besides
all this there must be considered

Farm PruningS

Are YOU using a pure bred sire
or is it just a scrub? Pure bred
animals cost no more TO feed than
scrubs but often are twice as pro-
ductive.
Just a few days more now and
the tractors will be huming all over
the country Let's test the seed and
get a good start because a lot OF
discouraged farmers may not plant
heavily this year and prices will be
higher than last.
Are all your cattle tested for tuber-
culosis? If not do you intend TO
have them tested? This is a serious
matter Like lightning. II is some
thing you can't see until it hits you
and it is liable TO strike anywhere.
Your herd and your family may be
destroyed unless you make sure by
testing which are affected and stamp
out the disease by removing the
cause.

MISS ALICE AND CONGRESS

WE extend to Miss Alice Robertson the honor and
respect due her by virtue OF her position, her age
and period OF human service but take issue with her
in respect
Miss Alice is urging women to run for congress
The Ardmoreite wishes every woman voter we'll We
have repeatedly declared that they are the best in

their non-partcipation in political organization ar

Woman should first learn 10 participate in the pre-
cnet election. There many political steps between
the precinct and congress In the sober interest of
good government woman should know them all.
Without compromising sense OF gallantry we
must say that believe that he-e are hundreds OF
women in this congressional distric, who would make
better congresswomen than Miss Alice. We are in
clned TO look upon her election as freak OF crcum-
stances and despite her homey and sensible aphorsms
frequently uttered since taking her seat We are in
clned 10 view her conduct in congress as freakish.
To be sure Miss Alice would not require great
ability TO reach the level OF the average congressman
She may be above the average level member OF that
body. But barking back 10 first contention wo-
man should begin TO evince interest in politics from
the grass roots up before seeking seats in congress
Woman asks no special favors OF man in politics

that woman prefers 10 earn her rights.
