There never was Il better time
time for men and banks with faith
III this county to demonstrate this
faith with credit and loans than
this wear. One morning last week
u good farmer and citizen from the
western part Of the county came to
my Office for some cotton seed. |
tried to persuade him to buY fer
tiiizer to 70 with the seed. He
said that he knew it would pay
him, but money matters wrle lust
SO tight that he could not afford it.
That afternoon | was passing
through n negro settlement and
took negro in the car for ride,
| asked him aboutsfarming condi.
tioqs in his community. lie said,
in substance; We cannot do Ruys
thing; we have nothing to farm
with and nothing to eat, and credit
is gone" lie said that SON cbody
ought to feed the folks that are
willing and anxious to work.

There is no better legume for

velvet beans with your corn, YOU
have something to turn your cattle
in on that will furnish them both
grain and hay till after Christmas.
1t you are afraid they will damage
your corn too much, plant two
rows of corn and one of velvet
beans. | would say that any time
from now till May Is would be n
favorable date to plant velvet
beans. | have tried to prepare for
the fellows that did not provide Tor
themselves by ordering 20 bushels
OF seed to arrive here about May |

We very often have packing

as it is dry enough after these
rains you should go over the rows

Telephone conversation between
New York and London or Paris are
predicted as a common event within
few years due to recent expert
ments. The powerful station being de-
veloped at Carnarvon, Wales, will be
excelled by the station at Port Jeffer-
son, Long Island, where even more
powerful tubes are being installed.
The two stations will communicate
first in code and then experiment with
direct transatlantic telephone COM
munication.
Lighting Circuit Antenna.
The new attachment for plugging
into an electric light socket and using
the wires for an antenna is proving es-
pecially popular in cities and in apart
ment wireless set installations, where
landlords are likely to object to out
side aerials. The device, which is
simply a plug with condensers con-
tanned in compact case, and several
feet of wire, has been on the market
for several weeks, and one is used by
Robert Pierson, of Liberty. He re-
ports distinguishable and satisfactory
signals received through it, although
they are considerably weaker than
those from the susual antenna.
Locals.
Maurice Druley, with a new receiv-
ing set, is on the air again, in spite of

White Snakeroot Found
On Losantville Farm;
Check Climbing Milkweed

During a weed survey of Randolph
county conducted by A. A. Hansen or
the Purdue university agricultural ex-
tension department, a poisonous plant
known as white snakeroot was located
on a farm at Losantvflle.
The white snakeroot is the cause OF
a fatal disease known as Trembles
among sheep and cattle. The poison
is carried in the cows milk, causing
a disease among humans known as
milk sickness. The plant already has
caused the loss of five sheep on this
farm. Eradication measures are now
under way and the plant will soon De
cleaned out of the pastures. Whlte
snakeroot grows typically in woodland
pastures and is rarely found IN the
open.
Another interesting development OF
the survey was the discovery of a
climbing milkweed on farm near
Winchester. Climbing miikweed is a
vine that climbs on corn, frequently
TO such an extent that the corn is over
whelmed. Since the seeds may be car
ried long distances by the wind in q
similar manner to ordinary milkWeed
seed. the climbing milkweed is very
dangerous plant AS far as could De
learned, only two patches occur IN
Randolph county, and measures We're
taken for destroying these patches be
fore the seeds have a chance to r1pen
and scatter over the neighborhood
The plant is now in full flower, al
Enough a few young pods have already
formed.

New Castle Fair Patrons
Pay so Cents for Near Beer

NEWCASTLE. Ind, Aug. 22.-With
the aid of little imagination and
suggestion helped by stage managing,
one of the concession holders at the
county fair succeeded in selling
complete stock of near beer, usually
retailing at five cents a drink, at
prices of 25 and so cents drink. A
two-year-old stock of a brand of soft
drink no longer manufactured was
bought at bargain prices by the stand
owner, and no sampling proved so
much nearer" beer than usual that he
bought all he could get. Stocking his
stand with it, he hired half a dozen
loafers to hang around the stand with
an imitation of real drunk. A rush
of custom cleaned out all available
stock at prices of so cents bottle.
and no complaints have been heard
from any of the customers.
