Need Not Ruin Farm,
To Get Food Wanted

When the pressure is on for the
production of more field crops and
greater numbers of livestock, farm
ers are likely to forget they are run
ming a factory which should be so
managed that it will be productive
in normal times. No farm need be
ruined to get the food this nation
needs now.
Extension argonomists at Ohio
State University declare that it is
possible to get great deal more
food from Ohio farms than is pro-
duced now and still improve the pro-
ductivity of the farms at the same
time. Soil can be handled so it will
provide more plant food and still in
crease the fertility reserves for the
future.
The greatest loss of soil productiv-
ity is caused by continuous produc-
tion of raw crops in the same fields.
Soil which was planted continuously
to corn lost 35 to As per cent of all
the rain falling on the land. The
runoff water carried enough top soil
so the top seven inches was eroded
away in IL years.
Good crop rotations that keep the
land in meadow part of the time re-
duce the amounts of top soil lost,
and the legumes in the meadow help
build up soil productivity. The lime
which should be applied to grow
legumes on most Ohio soils also helps
yields of other crops beside the Glow
ers and alfalfa.
The average rainfall in Ohio is 36
inches. Even this amount of water
is distributed unevenly so there often
is too little available during the
growing season. If nearly half the
water is lost, there is too little left
to supply the needs of an average
crop.

Here's Easy Way To
Remove Fruit Stains
Bv RUTH BARNES

County Home Demonstration Agent
Last week / promised you that the
article this week would be on re-
moving fruit stains--so here it is.
The way to remove peach, pear,
and plum stains is different from
most other. First, sponge the stain
well with cold water. Then, put
several drops of glycerine or soap
less shampoo on the stain-enough
to cover it all. Work in the fluid
by rubbing the cloth between your
hands. Then let it stand for several
hours. Next, put on few drops of
vinegar or exalic acid, allow it to
remain for a minute or two, and
then rinse we'll in water and that's all.
Rather easy to do isn't 1T.
You may have some stains on cot
tons and linens from citrus fruits,
such as grapefruit and lemons. If
so, try washing the fabric in warm,
soapy water. But if the stain is old,
or the material has been pressed
since it was stained, use one of the
bleaches mentioned in the other ar
ticle, hydrogen peroxide and sodium
perborate-or you also may use hy-
drosulphite or jovelle water. If the
acid in the fruit changes the fabrics
color, you can bring it back by us
ing ammonia or baking soda after
washing and rinsing the stain thor
oughly in cold water. But that's
another story. Just remember that
the best time to get after fruit stains
is while they're fresh. Try washing
them out in warm water first and
then pour in boiling water. Never
use soap or heat on fabric until you
have taken out the fruit stain. II
you would care to have more infor-
nation on other kinds of stains
there is a bulletin called, "Stain Re-
moval" put out by the United States
Department of Agriculture which you
can obtain from our office, Room 10
Post Office, Lima, Ohio.

Attracting attention in the Bluff
ton News window is twin crab
apple picked from a tree at the
home of Waldo Motter of South
Lawn avenue. Waldo tells us that in
moving weeds at the college
grounds that he has run into several
nests of humble bees. The best
thing to do is just to stand still
and leave them alone and then they
will not harm one. One of the nests
occupied by the bees was an old
rabbit nest made over to suit the
housing needs of the bees.
We overheard heated argument
by a group of soft ball fans as to
whether baseball or softball
whizzes down to the batter at the
higher rate of speed. After much
discussion pro and con the matter
was still pretty much up in the air
when the gang broke up to eat
sandwiches.
Join the navy and get your hair
cut-short, writes Gerald Swank,
former Bluffton barber, now at Great
Lakes Training station. Haircuts at
the naval training station there
average one every three minutes, he
says. Swank and four from Syca-
more are the only Ohio men in his
company, the others coming from
Iowa and Michigan. There are two
father and son combinations in the
company and one father who has
five sons in the service.
Just how completely recent rains
have demoralized threshing schedules
was brought to our attention when
Harry Anderson of Orange township
told us that the threshing outfit was
held up at his place for ten days
this month because the crop was too
wet to handle.
Like father-like son-and former
Bluffton parishioners of Rev. w. H.

hear the sermon preached by his
son, Rev. Franklin Lahr, pastor of
an influential church in Indianapolis.

State Is Harvesting
Good Crop Of Peaches

Some Ohio homemakers have the
idea that the peach crop is short
and that they will have to use peach
es shipped in from other states and
that they had better grab those
early. Frank H. Beach, specialist
in horticulture, Ohio State Univers-
ity, says Ohio has a good peach crop
and that the national supply is
plentiful enough so a special sales
campaign was conducted July 16 to
August 5.
Mr.. Beach points out that peaches,
like all other fruit, taste best when
fully tree ripened. 1t is Impossible
for all homemakers to pick their
peaches off the trees but it is pos
sible for all home makers to ask
where the peaches came from SO they
can judge how green the peaches
were when they were picked.
Ohio does not produce enough
peaches to supply all the demands
of consumers in this state. 1t is up
to many buyers to choose among
peaches produced in other states.
Peaches from any place are good if
they are of a desirable variety and
have been ripened properly.
Homemakers should watch the
markets to judge when peaches are
the best buy. Most of the Ohio 1912
peaches will be produced in the north
half of the state where the bulk of
the crop normally is sold late in
August. Michigan peaches are a
week or two later.
Bulletins on canning peaches and
other fruits can be obtained from
Ohio home agents. Special care
should be used in canning to make
certain no processed food spoils this
year.

THE STORY SO FAR: Clay Morgan
has decided to play lone hand against
Ben Heren6een, rancher bent on run
ming the cattle country his own way. The
two men have been enemies for years,
having first fought over Clay's wife,
Lila, who died hating him and believing
she should have married Herendeen.
Morgan is a solitary figure, devoted TO
his nine-year-old daughter, Janet. Al
though two women. Catherine Grant and
Ann McGarrah, are in love with him,
they know he cannot forget Lila. OF
his former friends, only Hack Breathitt
has not gone over TO Eererdeen's side.
Gurd Grant, GATHERINGS brother, hesi-
tated about joining Herendeen, but be-
came Morgan's sworn enemy when he
discovered that Catherine had been to
his ranch. When he learns that Heren-
deem has sent party out to find Hack
and Kill him, Clay starts out to find him
first. He finds him at Freeport. Then
Heren6een arrives and there is a free
for-all fight. Herendeen's men are driv-
en- of, but Hack is forced 10 hide in the
hills. Clay is talking to Catherine Grant
and Janet when Fox Willing, ''nester"

Plenty OF Fertilizer
For FaU-SOtUn Grain

Farmers who are planning buying
fertilizers to apply to fall grains
sown in Ohio are advised by Earl
Jones, extension specialist in agron-
omy, Ohio State University, that
there is a sufficient supply of phos-
phorus and potash for all needs but
the number of mixed fertilizers has
been reduced to seven analyses for
this state.
However, Mr.. Jones does not think
this limitation will affect production,
and he believes that straight phos-
phorus, Olaf, 0-12-12 will permit
satisfactory fertilization of fall
grains under all Ohio conditions.
The recommendation of the spe-
cialist are to apply straight phos-
phorus or Olaf ON silt and clay
loans which have previously received
eight tons or more of manure pei
acre. On the same type of soils but
which have not been manured appli.
cations OF O-1Z-l2 are advised. Fol
peat, muck, or sand use 0-12-12 il
manure has been applied and use
0-10-20 if these soils have had nc
| manure.
Rates of application recommended
by Mr.. Jones are $50 pounds per acre
on light colored silt and clay loans
which have been manured and where
seedlings are to be held for two
years. On the same soil, with mead
ow to remain only one year, the ap-
plication should be 250 pounds. Ap.
plications are 80 pounds per acre
higher on all soils if no manure has
been applied. On all other manured
soils, applications should be SOC
pounds per acre for 2-year meadows
and 200 if the meadow is to stand.

MEMBERS Of the Grant
Schol Parent Teachers ASSocia-
ton packed their assembly
room last night TO hear an adj
dress on Child Vision by DR..
Or. F. Moore and TO witness a
performance by school children
that alternately set them off in
gales of laughter and hearty APP
plause.
The Ia k dealt with the most
modern practise in the testing
and aiding of child sight. The
doctor consoled parents of chill
dren with impaired vision by
noting that only Is per cent of
the people in the world have
normal vision.
Ailments discussed by the
doctor were near Sightedness,
far-sightedness, and crossed
eyes.
NEAR-SIGHTEDNESS
Near sighted Chi. dren, he de-
Clared, are under a tremendous
handicap. If they are bold and
brash they will insist upon APP
preaching a blackboard at a
range Of only few inches TO
reau what the teacher has writ
ten there and if they are bash
tul they will take chance on
seeing what they can from
their seats. Because their eyes
deceive them, they make mis-
takes that win them the reputa-
ton Of being dumbbells when it
Is their eyesight rather than
their intellect that does the
limping. A near sighted person
suffers no pain FROM eye strain,
he added.
A far-sighted person invari-
ably suffers from eyc-strain, the
physician went on. He is con-
stantly overWorking his eye try
ing to get things tnat are near
HIM into focus.
CROSSED EYES
A cross-cyed person will grad
ually lose the vision of the eye
that turns in if it is not correct
ed, the doctor declared. In many
cases the defect can be rene

ed. To encourage the weak eye
