Indiana proposes to spend $22.500,(t0n on state road improvements * during 1930 and it will please thel people of this community if /4,hr department goes ahead with several road improvements in this county, includitft; the Pleasant Mills-Willshire route. This road is in bad repair and forms one of the principle arteries between this county and the Ohio line. The 1929 report sjjows that auto license fees produced $5.545,110*and the gasoline tax will yield about $12.716.706.34, figured at three cents on a gallon. Lloyd S. Crouch, Columbia City banker and former mayor of his city was found guilty by a jury yesterday of embezzling bank funds and is subject to a prison sentence of from two to fourteen years and a thousand dollar fine. Cronen was one of the most popular men of his community, a leader in civic affairs and honored with public trust. He was charged with embezzling $45,000 and it was said that his defaultations exceeded SIOO,OOO. The story of how he spent that much money in Columbia City has never been told and it would be interesting if he would tell the public wherein his down fall came.. The sentence may not seem a heavy one in view of the greatness of the thc’ft. but with it the victim loses his high standing and the confidence of friends and probably has suffered ‘enough to make up for part of the years Which the law does not give him.

Mclntyre says ; ii.scial training is given to those who now deliver the bottles, the schooling extending over several weeks and everyone must become adept in setting down the bottles without making the least bit of noise. The milk com pan even go so far as to have .heir horses shod with rubber tipped shoes and the men must wear ruble'h heels in the effort to eliminate • unnecessary noise. Good carriers of milk are highly paid, some making from $l5O to S2OO a week.

Most farmers are sticking to the varieties of corn ordinarily grown.jp thl* state, and it is with such 'seed that they are concerning themse)ve<f. In actions where the European corn borer has done great damage experiments with a corn that will resist it4&ve been in progress, but corn that can be considered borerprrwf is not yet available for general usji ln this or any other state. FariWrrs ku->» that it'NWintil be foolish to follow haphazard/gnethoils in seeding, and for tliat reastu.’ tests are gem nil It is from such tests as have been conducted that the imd news Is coming. The condition is attributed to bii-igweather during the growing season, failure iv harvest tin- . -when it shouM lu*lO taken field ami other causes. Regard'Tes.^_of the an- . tlie chief interest now is in the result, and the progressive farmer has no intention of making -a gamble out of his prospective corn crop. He will use some approved method tersest Wtery #,ar of settd corn he has iu resrevc -and will seed only that which shows high germinating qualities. The best thing for any farmer to do, when in doubt about his seed, is to consult the agi icultural agent of his county. Such agents are familiar with the best methods of testing seed corn. Indiana grows the best quality of corn in the world. This has beem,shown again and again when Hoosier farmers were crowned 'nternational corn kings. The average yield <for the state has betfljf increasing gradually, and the fiveacre corn competition, conducted by Purdue University, has shown what can be done by intelligent, attention to details. Hut the grower must use good seed and it is with that phase of the crop that the farmers are now concerned. — The Indianapolis News. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File | Feb. 22 F.
