Numerous samples of permanent plates have been received and Invest!, gated by the autb license department of the secretary of -state’s office All have proven unsatisfactory either from the standpoint of Cost or wearing qualities. Schortemeier said. One firm manufacturing auto license plates sent in a sample that was desired in the way of durability. The sample was quickly discarded, the cost was $7 a pair. This price however, when it was ieajned that was regarded by state officials as being prohibitive. Numerous other plates submitted were rejected because their wearing qualities appeared to be no better than the present yearly license plates Schortemeier said. The present plates cost the state twelve and one half cents each. The cheapest permanent plate, which appeared to be of no better quality at more than twice that amount. The proposal to adopt permanent licenses plates was made at the last session of the legislature The auto license law passed by the legislature authorized the secretary of state to in. vestigate permanent plates and adopt them if he deemed it advisable. invretgatfion thus | far has led him to the conclusion that the yearly plates are the most economical. He indicated that unless a more durxb’.e plate can be purchased at a reasonable cost the present yearly plates will continue to be used . Schortemeier last wek took up with officials of the statej prison at Michigan City while on a\i.sit to Michigan City the question of having the license plates manufactured by inmates of the institution. If it is found the plates can be man. ufactured cheaper in the prison than they can be purchased from an out-, side firm the change can be made. At present the plates are made by a manufacturing company of taxington_ Ky. —o Roachdale —There is going to be a "Mary” party here.

SOYBEAN HAY IS BEING CUT Several Adams Co,, Farmers Are Harvesting Hay For Cows • *1 By 1* M. Busche, County Agent. Several Adams county farmers yho sowed soybeans last spring with thoughts ot heavy milk production next winter are now engaged in making soybean hay. Most fields of the earlier varieties, such as Ito San and Mancbu, are now ready to be cut for hay. Half grown pods and the beginning of the formation of the small beans mark the proper time for cutting. Precautions should be taken to inspect the pods near the base of the stalks, since those ripen sooner than those at the top of the stalk. After cutting, the soybeans should be permitted to wilt in the swath for at least two good drying days They should then be “windrowed" and allowed to cure. Emphasis is placed upon the fact that soybeans require a week at the very least to cure and it is usually advisable that they not be hauled in before 10 days or two weeks. Soybean's are damaged very little by rains or wet weather as are other kinds of hay. It may become necessary, in case of wet weather, to turn the hay to prevent those lying next to the ground from molding. Some prefer throwing th ebeans into "cocks" or piles, which makes a brighter colored hay. although several doubt the economy of this method. Soybean hay has proven itself one of the best hays known for dairy cows. Those still skeptical about growing the new crop need only try some bay on "Old Bossy” to convince them that timothy and mixed hay. and in most cases clover hay, are only poor substitutes. Alfalfa is the only other hay grown locally which 13 able to keep up the pace with soybeans. ■ O —; — Indiana Has 75 Per Cent.

and 4.000 acres iu Michigan At the end of the planting season this year there were about 26,000 acres in peppermint in Indiana and somewhat more than 9 000 acres in Michigan, or about 35-000 acres In the two States. Less than' one-half of this remains for ahrvest after the damage by rest and wind in the last week in May and the first week in June. Last year, about 18.000 acres of pep. permint were actually harvested in Michigan and Indiana after almut onethird of the acreage had been abandoned. The acreage planted to peppermint in the spring of this year was much greater than the planting of 1924, but frosts and hlghwinds destroyed a large acreage and retardea the growth. Some of it may make a stand for next year. The bulk of the material or straw per acre last year was large, but the oil yield low This year the material per acre will not be more than two thirds as large as last year, but the yield of oil per "charge", it is expected will be nearly twice as much. The plants this year, have a high proporI tion of leaves to total bulk. The peppermint industry has had two years of short crops, following several years of overproduction.

atreage has been constantly expanded each year, but on land loss adapted to the drop und by inexperient*ed growers. Hence, the production has not increased ah the acreage has. Growers and buyers estimate last year's production of peppermint oil at 3011,000 to 350,000 pounds. The exportation seems about the same quantity will be produced this year. The normal yearly consumption in this country is supposed to be about 400,000 pounds.
