as school closes. "4-H Corn Clubs are being sponsored by the 5-Acre corn club members. The' committee in charge of securing enrollment and leadership for these clubs is composed of the following men: Walter Peck, Albert Ewell, Wm. Boerger, Otto Hoile. Victor Itleeke, Otto D. Hie berlch, John E. Heiman. John Schenck. Henry Aachlenaau, Henj. I). Mazelin. L. A. Ripley, Ralph 8. Myers, Carl Amstutz, Franklin Mazelin and Harvey Ineichen. "Other club projects of interest to boys are pig. lantb, ntellon. potato and garden. It is probable that clubs offering one or more of these projects will be organized in the county. "Boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 20 are eligible to join 4-H clubs.” Mrs. Mann stated, "she wished to put special emphasis this year on the planning of the bx-al pro-' grams of the various clubs. She believes that the quality and thor- | oughness of the work done by the 1 chib members depends to a great 1 extent upon the care and thought that is given to this planning. Each project should have its own pro- ' gram of study. She w ill be glad to help the committees of the differ- I ent clubs to plan their project programs. Mrs. Mann also asks that the clubs continue the splendid • work they did last year in training | j in judging and demonstration work I and in the keeping of records. "Miss Whitaker and Mr. Shanklin, Purdue specialists, will be in | Decatur soon to hold a meeting ' with the local leaders. Miss Whiti aker has charge of girls eiub anti I Mr. Shanklin directs the work of I the boy's clubs. The date for this meeting has not been set. “In my opinion, one of the big factors in furthering 4-H Club work iin the county is the organization known as the Adams County Jun-i lor leaders. The Junior leaders ' are outstanding 4-H Club members who are carrying Junior leadership in addition to other club projects. These junior leaders assist in securing enrollment, planning programs, keeping records, overseeing and guiding younger members in their work, directing social activities. conducting business meetings, and many other phases of club activity. They work under the direction of the adult leadeis. The county organization of Junior leaders help to unify 4-H Club work in he county and broadens

"The first event of the club year following organization work will be the 4-H Club Round-up at Purdue, May 1 to 3. This is a meeting of 4-H Club members from all over the slate. Very interesting programs have been prepared and the Round-up is looked forward to with keen interest. Trips to th,:- Roundup are awarded to club members from this county on the basis of achievement in club work. The girls who have won the trips this year are Vivian Schwartz, Ruth Ineichen and Pauline Yoss. Because of the year round nature of calf club work winners front this club have not yet been chosen. "In June two Junior leaders a boy and a girl, will be sent to a four diiy Junior leadership conference at Indianapolis for further training. These young people will he chosen on the basis of achievement in Junior leadership. "During the summer, tours of interest to the 4-H Club members will be conducted and their study program will be supplemented by observation and comparison. Training meetings for adults and Junior leaders will also be held as needed. A number of contests are open to 4-H Club members in the various projects. Valuable county, stale and national prizes are offered and I club members will doubtless enter

ORGANIZATION IS FORMED TO AID CORN CLUB Article Tells Os Work Planned By County improvement Association The following article on the Adams County Improvement Association has been written by Benjamin D. Mazelin. county chairman: "In a recent issue of the "Farm Page,” County Agent L. E Archbold. announced that a new organization known as The Adams County Crop Improvement Association has been formed for the purpose of renewing interest in the chib projects known as the 5-Acre Corn Club, open to any man or boy who may be interested and the 1-acre Corn Club, especially for hoys between the ogee of 10 and 20 years, inclusive. Besides the above this organization will strive for improvement of crops in general. A few variety tests will be carried out during the coming season but the two *'orn Clubs will be the. major projects for this year. "When tile Five-Acre Corn Club] was first introduced into this. county about twelve years ago, I Adams county ranked high in the' staie in enrollment as well as in, medal winnings. During" the past I few years, however, interest lagg- • ed and our enrollment dropped in I 1933 and 1934 to five members each I year. "This year things look a littlej rosier. The grain elevators, eqiti-l ties and tile mills have been solid-' ted for prize money and they have ■ I subscribed liberally. To date ap-| proximately $75.00 has been sul>-l , scribed as prize money at stake for. those growers having the highest , yield in the final checkup next fall. "The fee for enrollment in the. ( 5-Acre Corn Clnb is only 59 cents, j I This fee automatically make yon j I a member of the Indiana Corn | I Growers’ Association, too. We have j i made it a rule this year that each i person signing up in the Five-Acre) Club will have to enroll with him I ’ a boy in the One Acre Club. Otherwise the fee will be SI.OO, of which half will go to the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association and the rel rnainder will go to the treasury of the local club. "It has been demonstrated in past years that corn club work is i a powerful incentive to all farmers who join to use the best variety of corn available and to make sure that germination tests are very close to 100%. Fields will be [ fertilized a lot better, and only the very best methods of cultivation will be used", all of which will ; prove practical, economical and highly profitable in the end. . “We would suggest that you get . your eurollmeßt in at once. June 15 is set as the deadline for accepting entries in. the corn clubs. Won’t you tell your friends about ; it? Let’s put Adams county at the top of the list with the biggest and l>est corn clubs in Indiana.

"Many of the best herda in the county have originated from one calf club," said Mervin Miller, county cow tester As an example Mr. Miller cited the good herd of Jerseys owned by j Thomas Griffith, six miles west of Decatur. The cluli has grown from 32 j members having 38 cows in 1928 ito a membership of 50 with 70 i pure bred cattle In 1934. The picture above shows the members of , .the 1928 club at a Dairy Day celebration in Decatur. taist year the show was held in connection with the gold medal colt club show held in Berne. Memberships are now being accepted for the 1935 club. The cards I may be obtained from members or | from the county agent’s office. The I deadline for enrollment is April 15. ■ "The purpose of the club is to , give the children a start in a good , : breed of dairy calves and to help < I learn how to feed, raise and care i for dairy animals,” Mr. Miller stalled.

I “ ’What can be expected from apple scab in 1935 and what control measures will be necessary?’ most growers are asking at this time. A study of the history of the disease in our orchards during the ’ past several seasons should help us to formulate an answer. 1 "In four of tho past eight sea- : sons apple scab has been controlled on tile most susceptible varieties only by the addition of extra spray applications to our so-called i minimum schedule of pre-'pink, pink, calyx and au early cover I spray. In 1927. 1929 and 1932 exexcessive rainfall made necessary the addition of at least one spray during the blossom period. In 1933 two blossom sprays were necessary for thorough control of the :

Although there was a shortage of rainfall in the early parts of those seasons, there was adequate moisture to discharge the spores and cause considerable infection in unsprayed "or carelessly sprayed orchards. In 1931, however, little spraying was needed to control the early infections in most of the state. In much of the stare Infection was difficult to detect even on unsprayed trees early in the season of 1934, despite the fact that an abundant source of infection was present in the orchards in the tall of 1933. “Since scab received such a setback in 1934 can it cause any trouble in 1935? "Mr. McCown says YES. Some of the surviving scab plants matured spores and managed to release some of them, causing enough scattered early infection to furnish spores for secondary infection later in the season. The secondary infection was multiplied by late summer and fall rains. There is at this time adequate source of infection for some, trouble from the disease even in the areas w'hicib were most droughty in 1934, and serious infection in portions where the rainfall was near normal during the late summer and early fall. Since leaf fall weather- conditions

have been favorable to the development of the disease in the fall* en leaves and undoubtedly weather conditions alone will dictate the number of spray applications which will be required to control the disease in 1935. "Mr. McCown says, ‘The safest rules to follow to obtain control In 1935 would be to: — (11 Be sure that your name is placed U|M>n the list of growers to whom curds will be sent advising of the date when the first discharge of apple scab spores is expected in orchards within your county. Your name will be placed upon this list by the Horticultural Division. Purdue University Agricultural Extension upon receipt of your request. (2) Following the first epore diecharge spray once a week During Rainy Weather. (3) Cover the orchard by the third day after the rain begins to destroy infections which are spread by the rain.’ “Do not hesitate to call on your county agent or on the writer of these articles for detailed information on all your spraying problems. We’ll be with you again next week." ■—o APRIL ON THE FARM Grow thrifty pigs by moving them away from trouble and feeding properly. Don’t depend on vermifuges to control worms in pigs.
