In our reference to Prof. Harper's
statements regarding the price real
ICED for Indiana pooled woods we stat
ed that 10 cents was the average price
realized. less cents per pound as the
handling and selling costs. We are
informed that 1t should have read the
other way and that the 10 cents per
pound was net to the growers, after
deducting the cost of grading ana sell
ing. This means that this wool sold
for % cents per pound, from Wnlch
4 cents was deducted to cover entire
cost of marketing.
A retired farmer, now living in Rich
mond, dropped in on us on Wednesday
afternoon. and we got to talking about
clover. Glover is an interesting sub
| iect to feeders and rotationists at any
| time and more especially so when the
! time to seed is being considered.
"My father had whole lot of land
and fed cattle for years" said this
! farmer" and clover was an important

the first clover sower ever seen in

east to west, say, and the March SOW

father to fail of getting good crol

Three-Fourths of Indiana
Soils In Need of Lining

Three-fourths of the soil in Indi-
ana are sour. Over one-half of our
cultivated land is in need of lime
stone. Glover which is necessary
for increasing soil fertility can not
be grown successfully on sour soils
without using lime.
Lining not only neutralizes soil
acidity but it makes insoluble many
injurious compounds found in acid
soils. Soluble salts of aluminium
are the compounds most injurious
toward the growth Of crops. Avail
able phosphates are needed in add
ton to lime to precipitate aluminium
salts.
1t is not necessary to use enough
lime to neutralize all the soil acid
ity. When liberal amounts of
phosphate are applied it is better
and more profitable to leave the
soil slightly acid for best results.
When sour soils are lined and
fortified they accumulate organic
matter and acquire a better filth.
Calcium and magnesium lime
stones are of equal value for agri-
cultural purposes. Hydrated lime
has shown no superiority over pull
verified limestone in giving results
the first year on the Wanatah and
! Jennings county fields.

Pointers for the
Backyard Poultryman

Keep the hens confined to your
own land.
Don't keep a rooster. Hens lay
just as well without a male bird.
Don't overstock your land.
Purchase well-matured pullets
rather than hens.
Don't expect great success in
Matching and raising chicks unless
you have had some experience, and
have a grass plat separate from the
yard for the hens.
Build a cheap house or shelter.
Make the house dry and free
from drafts, but allow for ventila-
ton.
Fowls stand cold better than
dampness. You can build a good
henhouse with two piano boxes,
the backs taken off, and set back
to back Small windows, screened
for summer. and provided with
glass or cloth for winter, should be
provided. 1t is wise, also, to have
these boxes raised off the ground
a few inches to prevent rats max
ing their homes under the house.
This kind of house should be for
20 hens.
Keep house and yard clean.
Provide roosts and droppings
boards.
Save the manure. 1t is worth
money if treated properly.
Provide nest for each four or
| five hens.
Grow some green crop in the
yard,
Spade up the yard frequently.
Feed table scraps and kitchen
waste.
Feed grain once or twice day.
Feed a dry mash.
Keep hens free from lice and the
| house free from mites.
Kill and eat the poorest hens in
| the fall when they begin to mott
and cease to lay.
Preserve the surplus eggs pro.
duced during the summer for use
| during the fall and winter when
eggs are scarce and high in price
! The size of the flock which can
be kept most efficiently will de
pend upon the space available and
upon the amount of table scraps
and other waste available for feed
It is a mistake TO overstock YOU
| land. Better results will be oh
tanned from d few hens in a small
yard than from a large number
The backyard flock rarely should
consist of more than 90 or 25 hens
and often of not more than eighr
or 10. For 90 or 25 hens you should
have a yard 25x30 feet in size.

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonsful of Mulsi-
fled will cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months. Be sure your druggist gives
you ed.-Adyertisement.

politics. an tn real estate business an

clusion Mr.. Martin says: 1--WE there
fore urge all farmers to be optimistic
as they kin. Let them be glad they're
sound an well, an not like poor Will

back trying t lift 80 cents worth o.

Everett Palmer, in talking to a Kan

Gypsum Preserves Nitrogen
There are very few better top dress,
ings for barnyard manure than gyp
sum or land plaster, scientifically
known as calcium sulphate. BY sprink
ling the finely powdered gypsum over
the manure or in the cutters in the
stables, the ammonia which rises from
the manure passes into the air, carry
ing with it large amounts of valuable
nitrogen, is converted TO another form
ammonium sulphate, which is moi
volatile. In this way the costly nitro
gen element is saved through very
little expense.
The main objection to the use O
! gypsum is that it does not have the
same sweetening effect on acid soil!
as ordinary lime. In fact, if used il
large quantities, it may increase the

Calls It Impossible Scheme
In the investigation Of attacks made

| chairman of the executive committee

Hatch Early to Insure
Winter Egg Production

With the average small-farm
flock where hens of a general-p ur-
pose breed are kept, it is most sat
isfactory to let the hens do the
Matching. If the hens are of a non
broody breed, however, it is neces-
sary to use incubators or to pur-
chase baby chicks. Whatever the
method of Matching, it is most i'm
portant that it be done at the right
time of year
The proper time of Matching
varies with different localities. be-
ing earlier in the South and latest
In the extreme North. The aim
should be TO hatch the chicks at
such time as will allow the pull
lets to reach their full development
and begin laying in October or No
yember, poultry specialist in the
United States department of agri-
culture say as these earlier matur-
ing pullets must be depended upon
very largely for the fall and winter
egg production. Late-hatched
chicks do not mature in time to
produce fall and winter eggs, nor
do they live or grow so well during
the hot weather.

| BOYS, GIRLS CLUBS

CENTERvILLE, Ind, Feb. 2.-Cen'
ter township has prepared to take the
lead In boys and girls club work for
the next year, having appointed at the
close of the farmers institute. COM
mittee of three to take charge OF cluo
work, and interest boys and girls OF
the community in it for the coming
season. This is the first instance IN
the county of such an organization.
Members Of the committee are Elmer

and Roy Means.
The afternoon session, the last one
of instruction, was addressed by Miss
Grace King of Purdue who talked on
club work and advised greater activ
titles along this line; and H. j. Cravel
of Richmond, state veterinarian. DR.
Craver told of the federal and state
provisions for prevention of live stock
epidemics and mentioned instances in

Mansfield.
While we are far from endorsing

illusions, we are giving space to the

Mr. Mansfield presented the Grain

Increasing Legume Crops
Coleman Suggests Growing soy
Beans, Glover or Alfalfa on
Corn and Oats Ground.

Increasing the acreage OF le-
gumes. such as soy beans, clover
and alfalfa, to replace the extreme
" large acreage of corn and oats,
which will be reduced some this
year. was advocated in a recent
statement by T. A. Coleman, county
agent leader.
In some quarters there is
strong disposition to reduce the
acreage in cash crops that are now
selling below cost of production,
said Mr.. Coleman. County agents
at this time can well afford to stand
firmly on the proposition OF in
creased acreages of legumes to
take the place of some of these
cash crops. In the first place, the
legumes are better for the soil. Sec
ondly. they mean a more equitable
distribution of labor, therefore
cheaper costs; and in the third
place. legumes properly handled
contribute much to the economic
handling of live stock"
Mr. Coleman also pointed out
that there probably never was a
greater need for the American
farmer to take advantage of this
apparent lull in general industrial
activities to consider the question
of the efficiency of farm manage
ment methods and practices. Prob
ably never before in the history of
Indiana agriculture could a man de-
Yelop new and improved strains of
grain or live stock with as little
cash outlay for foundation material
as at the present time, he says.
These thoughts are worth think
ing about. Soy beans, clover or al
falfa must find a bigger place in
the crop rotations in Indiana if soil
fertility is to be maintained or in
creased and if crop yields are to re
main at the present standards or
go higher. Indications now are that
thousands of farmers will grow
more legumes this year than for
many seasons.

ANTHRACITE FIELDS
IN MOOD FOR PEACE
WaffIner Says Both Sides Are
Anxious For Settlement.

Washington, Aug 12.-Strong senii-
nent for speedy settlement of tie coal
strike exists in the anthracite region
on the part of all interests-the pub
lie, the operators and the miners
President Harding was Informed by
Samuel D. Mariner, president of fhe
Lehigh Coal and Navigation company,
and W. J. Richards. president of lhe
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company, members of the policy
committee of the anthracite operators.
The people of the anthracite region,
the president was told, are growing
weary of being made the goat" in The
strike situation for the benefit of the
maneuyers of operators and miners in
the biiuminous fields. The anthracite
operators want to reopen their mines,
the miners want to go back to work
and business interests of the hard
coal region, hard hit by the four
months OF mine idleness, are clamoring
for a resumption of operators, Mr..
Warriner and Mr.. Richards asserted.
They said the situation needed only
a word to start movement which
would result in satisfactory adjust
ment, and while they did not suggest
specific action on the part of the
president, they left the distinct i'm
preston it was their hope that any
step the government contemplated
wouid3 provide for separate and dis
tinct consideration of the anthracite
situation.
