Since the machinery on the Spencer county farms is considered vital to whip the Axis powers, county agricultural agent, E. F. Downen, today called upon all farmers of the county to attend the all important farm machinery repair school to be held in Rockport at the Court House on February 11 from 10:00 A. M. to 3:00 P. M. under the joint auspices of the Purdue Agricultural Engineering Department. Farming under war time conditions brings about certain changes in normal farm operations. One is that farm machinery repair parts must be determined and ordered at once if they are to be obtained in time to permit using the various implements when needed. When making arrangements for the county school the committee made arrangements for the following implements to be discussed as to methods of checking and installing repairs and on making certain adjustments. Mowers, binders, corn planters, grain drills, plows, harrows, cultivators, combines, corn pickers, and farm services to be done on the tractor.

Mrs. Fred Springer, ninth district S. and E. director, gave a fine talk on “Builders of Morale” and complimented Spencer County Farm Bureau for the good work done the past year. The resolutions were read by Fred Biggs, of Ohio township. The pageant, “The Homemaker at the Wheel”, was given by 21 farm women and girls, chosen from the nine townships in the county, and was directed by Mrs. Wyoma Schumacher of Luce township.

The Spencer County Farm Bureau annual meeting was held in the High School Gymnasium at Dale, Friday night, Jan. 16, with 350 present. FranLueken, county chairman, presided. The devotions were very ably given,

Officers for 1942 were elected as follows: Francis Leuken, chairman; Raymond Schulthise, vice chairman; Otto J. Haaf, secretary-treasurer. The address was given by George Harvey of Indianapolis, from the State Farm Bureau office and was one of the best ever given in Spencer county, regardless of the time being 11 o'clock, he held the attention of his audience for 35 minutes. He said that in spite of all that opposition could do, the Farm Bureau has obtained rural electrification for thousands of farm homes. That farmers were not demanding excessive wages for their work or a guarantee of a profit on their investments, but they are asking for panty prices and no ceiling on the prices of their products, unless there is a corresponding ceiling on the price of the products they must buy. Mr. Harvey has enlisted in the air corps of the U. S. Army and expects to leave in a few days. He will be greatly missed in the State Farm Bureau office.
