With e farmers around Seymour created the basis of his fortune," One'of the Indiana colleges, which has an Important agriculture department, has shown much Interest In the Seymour enterprise. This school sends out special trains and agents and emissaries and whatnot all over Indiana In line with Its policy of making Hooslerdom a paradise of scientific farming, and these agents dont often overlook the opportunity of telling about Seymours Farmers club And what it Is doing to make the dty and its rural customers real busi- ness associates. The word Is going farther, too, than the farthest reaches of Indiana. Grange organizations, commercial clubs and agricultural colleges here and there all over the country are making Inquiries of Seymour about the club. So besides making It easy for the rural neighbor to enjoy himself while trading there, Seymour Is gathering to Itself a stack of advertising valuable beyond computation. What has been done In Seymour can be done In any other agricultural community In the United States. It Isnt necessary that the dub should be a memorial to anybody; nor that It should be a monument to the generosity and public spirit of one or two men; nor that It should be housed In a specimen of classic architecture. Four or six rooms would serve the purpose nicely, if converted properly to dub uses. These roomb might be found in a detached residence or on the second or third floor of a business block. The expenses might be prorated among the business men, and the fanners themselves might pay a modest Initiation tee and nominal dues. Where theres a will theres a way as the fellow said. Anyhow, it sounds pretty peppy and doesnt It, to overhear one farmer say to hla neighbor on a Saturday morning In town : Well, Ed, let's run over' to the club and have a talk."? i ' l rtj Ti u - -- y jzwartizoonr .

All one need do is to take enough Interest to ask for privileges; then he and his family may participate In the dub. Because It was an untried experiment some-thinthat hadnt been done before, and all that the business men of Seymour probably wouldnt have put up the money for establishing the dub and maintaining it perpetually If the matter had been proposed to them. Now, If they were asked to reimburse the donors fully and make provisions for maintenance, they'd Jointly Jump at the proposition simply as a piece of s civic investment; what you might call a trade magnet.

Seymour, a southern Indiana city of about f.000 population, bas a farmers club with a membership of more than 1,000. It bas been in operation since October, 1914, and la a thorough success. During lPlfl the average dally number of visitors to the clut was about 150. The existence of the club ia due the plain truth roust be told to the public spirit and generosity of two business men of Seymour, and not to any spedai enterprise on the part of either the farmers or the citizens of the town. The Bllsh brothers own a large flour mill and grain elevators. They are grandchildren of Capt Meedy W. Shields, founder of Seymour, himself a farmer of energy and vision, whose fortune, it seems, was the nest-eg- g of the Bljsh estate. For many years inleresTs the Bllsh have'tfeslt' constantly and profitably with th farmers of Jackson county.

Edward Fontaine, a tree surgeon of Charlottesville, Van baa, according to Inland Farmej, com- , pleted the greatest tree surgical operation ever attempted anywhere, and this has been done for Mr. John Armstrong Chaloner of Merrie Mills. The tree Is red oak and is possibly three hundred year old. It Is 24 feet in circumference, two feet above the ground, with a diameter of eight feet, four inches In Its widest part. The cement filling wa carried up the tree S3 feet from the surface and a cement leg or root was imbedded five feet into the ground to support the tree In heavy winds. The material used was six wagonloads of sand, 12 loads of field stone, 2S bags of cement, 14 iron the concrete, 44 eyebolts and a straps to roll of galvanized wire.
