WHEAT HARVEST UNDERWAY Most of the wheat in this section will be harvested before July Fourth and it is probable that some thresh­ ing will have started in that time, Farmers are estimating the wheat yield this year from 15 to 25 bushels per acre, In some localities where wheat stood in water during the May rains the yield will be much under 20 bushels per acre, VETEINAHANS SOUNDWARNING Millions o f dollars are wasted an­ nually for patent medicines and ton­ ics, worthless in the prevention or treatment o f livestock diseases, ac­ cording to veterinarians o f this and nearby counties. A consensus o f opinions reveals that comparatively few independent peddlers are selling^ stock remedies now, blit many tall-claims are being made through’ advertising mediums other than newspapers for cure-quick concoctions. Authorities -the farmer’ is led to believe there are medicines a- vnilable which will “ condition.’,' his stock, prevent or cure such diseases as hog. cholera, cattle abortion, black­ head o f turkeys, increase the milk yield o f cattle or the egg production o f hens—and do any number o f other things which reliable remedies cannoi be guaranteed to do. The department o f agriculture, thru the food and drug administration is doing pioneer work in the control of interstate traffic in “ misbranded’ and adulterated stock remedies, but reports from Washington, D. C., show that vast quantities o f Buch prepara­ tions never cross a state border ant1 thus do no come within the jurisdic­ tion o f the food and drugs and insecti­ cide laws. Veterinarians o f this section have expressed themselves as follows on the topic. “Most farmers have found out thai high priced feeds, tonics, and remedies are not necessary," said Dr. D, F. Bowen, veterinarian, Champaign ccounty. “ Local veterinaries do not charge for information as to foods and many farmers are now mixing their own feeds. A good product will be recommended by any veterinarian who is interested in his community livestock.” “ Mineral feed is necessary foi stock, especially milk cows, as ir every ton o f milk 17 per cent is min­ eral matter and it must be replaced,’’ asserts Dr. C» E. Inskeep, veterin ariafi o f Urbana, “ Most tonics and medicines do not contain enough drugs to affect an animal let alonr cure a disease,” continued Dr. Ins- keep. “ Because water is cheap and 95 per cent o f the unknown .tonics and remedies are composed chiefly of water.” “ Reliable firms can furnish the av­ erage farmer what he needs in the. way o f feeds, tonicB, and remedies and it can be depended ’on. One thing many farmers are feeding ground rye to growing pigs, and some are even feeding ground barely. Both are bad for young pigs, and will cause sick­ ness.” “ Circulars letters, asking, to buy moldy, burnt, salvaged and spoiled grains,” claim I, B. Preston, o f Clif­ ton o f the Preston Mills, “ are re­ ceived quite often. When grain is spoiled it should not be fed to stock in any form. Also there is large de­ mand for grain screenings o f all kinds, hulls, and all elevator refuse. Can a farmer,” asks Mr. Preston, “ afford to buy dairy feeds or any other kind o f feed with such ingredients when he can grind his cwn products and knows they are o f good quality and have food value?" —Madison Press, Londot. $1.85 Pierce’s Medicines —98c •Week End Special at Brown's Drugs TOOK POISON SAYS CORONER Death o f Mrs. A.

Mr. Bradfute and family visited with Mrs. Bradfute’s brother, who resides about thirty miles from the city. Mr. Bradfute was greatly impressed with the Fair and' well worth the trip from an educational standpoint. He says most o f the exhibits are in place and practically all buildings are com­ plete other than a few state build­ ings. He reports there are plenty of guides on the grounds and they are well equipped to give you information and very courteous to all. The fea­ ture o f the big allow is to have some idea o f what you want to see and then make your schedule from that list. It would take several days to see all o f the show and exhibits but Mr. Bradfute says they were well satisfied with four days.

Charles A. Young, who became a full colonel in the U. S. Army, the highest rank ever con­ ferred on a colored man. In reference to Cedarville College Mr. Creswell stated: “ Cedarville College, d denomination­ al school and seminary o f the Re­ formed Presbyterian faith, with Dr, W. R. McChesney, the present rep­ resentative to the General Assembly from Greene County,- as its president* has fo r nearly forty years afforded a splendid opportunity to secure a Christian college education at a mini­ mum cost. Many well trained mem­ bers o f the clergy and teaching'pro­ fessions are today occupying re­ sponsible positions throughout the nation, Needless to say, Greene County is proud o f Cedarville College and what it stands fo r and has pro­ duced.” WILL RE-OPEN BANK The Washington Savings Bank, Which was closed some weeks ago is to be re-organized and opened about August 1st. 3Gc Vick's Salve—22c Week End Special at Brown’s Drugs Cash benefits w ill be paid this fall to many o f the 97,000 farmers in Ohio who grow wheat, under the plan with which the Agricultural Adjustment Administration has decided to make the Farm Act effective for wheat this year. Payments will probably be made by September 15. Ohio ranks tenth in wheat produc­ tion, the records o f the United States Department o f Agriculture show. In the five-year period, 1928-32, it produced on an average, 30 million bushels and planted on the average, 1,831,000 acres. The wheat adjustment program provides for paying cash benefits to farmers on the basis o f the percentage o f their average wheat crop fo r the past three years, which is domestically consumed as food, upon agreement of farmers to reduce their acreages. Processing taxes are to be levied to pay the costs. , To Determine Percentage The plan will be to pay cash bene­ fits each year on the allotments of each farmer for 1933, 1934, and 1935, provided the.farmer agrees to reduce his planted acreages for the 1934 and 1935 crops by a percentage that will subsequently -be determined by the Secretary o f Agriculture, but will not be more than 20 per cent of the aver­ age acreage planted by the farmer, in the last three years. Approximately a million participat­ ing wheat .farmers should be affected by the program. The administration will he thoroughly decentralized, with farmers organizing their own county committees to take charge o f local details o f administration, These county groups will be the key units in the whole scheme, and the farmers will choose their own men to handle the county program. Each county group will pay its own expenses, to be charged to each fanner according to his allotment. The more economic­ ally the local unit is operated, the less it will cost the farmers in that county, The average amount o f wheat that farmers have grown in the last three years will determine the basis o f their allotments, says M. L. Wilson, who is in charge o f the wheat adjustment program. Averages fo r the crop years 1928 to 1932 will be computed, and upon this average production and acreage the allotment for each county will be made. A fter the allotment is made to each county, the county committee, chosen by farmers themselves at community meetings, will have each farmer list his wheat acreage and production for the last three years. The committee will take an average o f this, and then allot to each farmer his proportionate ' share o f the amount allotted, to the county. ; . ; ' ‘ To Pay 30 CentB The farmer will receive an allot­ ment which is in the same proportion to his average production as the total wheat domestically consumed in this country for food is to the total wheat grown. This allotment will be in bushels. On this allotted number of bushels, he will receive a cash bene­ fit from funds raised by a processing tax levied on the basis o f the relation­ ship between’present price and parity price o f the pre-war period. It is estimated that about 30 cents per bushel will be paid, two-thirds by September 15 and the remaining third in the spring o f 1934. The plan function as crop insurance up to the amount o f the benefit on the allotted number o f bushels. To obtain the benefit the farmer must plant his crop in the ordinary man­ ner, but if it is hailed out, dried out, blown out, or otherwise destroyed by nature, he will receive his benefit just the same. As a matter o f economy and effi­ ciency, the Administration will use the agricultural extension services in organizing farmers under the plan. County agents will take an active part in the organization work, and are in position to give information on the wheat plan. II. AND A.
