First real success was not | reached until last week when the 1935 quota was raised from 10,557 to 13,770 acres. This additional acreage will make it pTtssihle for the old growers to plant practically as many acres of beets as they desire for tills year, and will enable the company to provide acreage for approximately 150 new growers who ' had already signed provisional con-1 tracts to grow beets, If acreage became available. Tills district allotment committee will undoubtedly determine each grower's 1935 allotment by the number of acres he plants since acreage is now available to permit this, providing the total does not exceed the district allotment of 13,770 acres. i Fertilizer, manufactured at the local fertilizer plant, now operating 24 hours a day, and beet seed I are being distributed to the grow- | ers of tho various territories. With i favorable weather, several thousand acres of beets will be planted before May 1. and by early June the entire acreage will be planted. -o Wheat Farmers To Vote On Program Washington, April 12 — (UP) — Wheat farmers in a nationwide referendum May 25 will vote on whether they favor continuing production control after the present crop year.

County Club Agent Explains Work Os 4-H Clubs Throughout County

(By Helen E. Mann, county club agept) “The I H's of the i-H Club stand for head, heart, hand and health; and it is to the development of these four that the work of the 4-H Club is devoted. The aims and Ideals of 4-H boys and girls are best expressed by the club pledge: ‘I pledge my head to clearer think- | ing, my heart to truer loyalty, my i hands to greater service, and my health to better living for my home, my community, and my country. I Their purpose is shown hy the club motto: 'Make the best better.’ "4-H Club work solves the problem of worthwhile activities adapted to country boys and girls. It teaches them to think clearly and judge wisely. It develops skill and 'a knowledge of approved methods of work. It fosters a sense of pride in productive work. It trains for leadership and effective cooperation in community activities. "Approximately 300 boys and girls in this county were enrolled in club work In 1934. This year We are anticipating a greatly increased enrollment and hope to have a club in every township in the county. "The work of the 4-H Club is divided into many different projects. Each club member enrolls in one or more .projects. In Adams county we have girls enrolled in clothing, canning, baking, food preparation, health and room improvement projects. Our boys are in garden and beet clubs, while both boys and girls are working in calf clubs. Most of the projects cover a period of five years. Each year’s work is definitely outlined by state 4-H Club leaders under the direction of Purdue University. "The local club are organized on a community or township basis. Each club has as a leader a public spirited man or woman of the community who is willing to give some of his or her time to train (lie boys and girls. The different clubs of the county are under the supervision of the county 4-11 Club l„ Ili;uiy of the dubs the adult leaders are assisted by older dull members who are known as Junior Leaders. Each junior leader lias a. definite group of girls in a certain .project under her direct guidance "Each club member is required to keep an accurate account of both time ami money spent on her project. and to write a story of het year's work. Every club member nlllHl give, or help give, a demonstration of some phase ot the no Iject she is taking, either before her club or in a public meetmg. A the end of the year the work must be exhibited. The boys and girls learn the most approved methods of work and the reason for these methods. Part of the work consists of judging the finished proditcts. I In this way they learn to UoW

SIXTH ARTICLE ; ON FRUIT CARE I). D. Mazelin Writes Another Article On Proper Care Os Fruit Trees (Editor's Note;- Following is the sixth of a series of articles written exclusively for the Decai tur Daily Democrat by D. D. Maze- • Un. .prominent Adams county fruit I grower.) ‘ In continuance of last week's article on apple scab we wish again to emphasize the neccessity ot a pre-pink spray application to apple trees in order to protect them from infection from the scab spores which were developing rapidly the last few days and which are now ready for discharge from their tubes in the old scab infected leaves under the trees. Discharge will take place after April 13, which would be Saturday. According to Mr. McGown ot Purdue, a fairly heavy discharge of spores may be expected with the first rain after that date, and it is very important that the spray be applied not later than three days after the. rain started to fall. By following I this rule little infection will take place. Obviously, the sooner this spray is applied after the rain, the better it will he. “The formula recommended for! this spray is 2% gallons of liquid ‘ lime sulphur to 100 gallons of wat-, er. This spray is very inexpensive I and no grower of apples should | risk leaving it off his orchar. "For further information ask the | county agent or the writer of these articles. (More about apple diseas es next week.)"

i value* and as a result of this acquired sense of values they can I spend money intelligently. "Each 4 H Club has its duly eleci ted officers and carries on its busi-; ■ ness meetings in parliamentary j I manner. Through club work the j ■ I boys and girls are learning tfl < on-1 I duct public meetings with ease and - assurance and developing qualities j ■ of leadership that will lie invaluable to them in adult Ine. , I “Social life is not neglected. Part • lof each meeting is given over to j I games, stunts and other social activities. With our increased leisure . we need to learn to play together . as well as work together. The work t of the 4-H. Clubs is for the most I part, completed during the vaca--1 tion months, but many of the clubs s are maintaining their organization j through social meetings during the • winter. Picnics, hikes, camping . trips, parties, public entertainments. visits to factories and insti1 tutions and similar activities are i part of the school life of 4-H Clubs. "Perhaps one of the most far- . reaching achievements of last year ( was the organization ot' the 'AdI ams County Junior Leaders,’ an organization composed of outstand- . ing 4-H Club members who are taking junior leadership work. In ■ this club these boys and girls are receiving advanced training in leadership, in mutual helpfulness and community service. From (his .' group will colne the efficient leadII ers of our country in the coming 11 years. “The crowning event of the club I year is the 4-H club fair. Last yeai i 12,000 people visited the fair. With . [ practically every county organiza- - ■ tion ami the. Decatur Chamber of Commerce cooperating, we expect ] i to put on in 1935 the biggest and | best fair this county has ever seen. “In addition to the displays of . the work of the various projects, . the 4-H club fail is the. scene of , our county demonstration and judging contests. Each standard club . enters a contestant in each of these contests, and Unbiased judges pick the winners to represent us in the i district contest. Last year Elma June Wynn and Bernita Lytle ot (he Happy Homemakers Club of Root township represented Adam.; county in the district demonstration contest, with a demonstration ' on the 'Use of the First Aid Kit.’ ■ Vera Schwartz of the Busy Bee Club ot Monroe township was our ■ contestant in the district judging ■ contest. “Another interesting feature ot . (be club fair is the Dress Revue. In this revue the girls wear dresses which they themselves have I i made. The winner represents the i county in the revue at the state i fair. Alice Jane Archbold won last i year with a sports costume. . “The winners of the different ’ displays at the county fair exhibit

Has Fine Holstein Herd ' ■ lOmBI IB -d lirw’l— Pictured above is one of the fine Holitein herd owned by Jacob .1. Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz’ daughter, Naomi, included in the picture, helps in caring for the herd.

(Editor's note—This is the first of a series of articles written by Merwin Miller, Adams county cowtester. ) Twenty years ago Jacob J. Schwartz, of Monroe township, Adams county, bought his first registered Holstein cow. Five years later ihe bought the cow. Home Grove | J. S. Pearl No. 594,541, pictured above. This cow proved to be a good producer of milk and gave over 80 pounds a day. In seven years while on test in the Dairy Herd Improve- ‘ melil Association she gave 95,210 j pounds of milk containing 2,957 ' pounds of butter fat, an average of 1 422 pounds of butter fat a year. I This is more than twice as much as I the average cow produces. Mr. Schwartz has reared a fine herd from the progeny of this cow and sold many good registered cattle to other breeders. He has sold bulls for service in states of] Pennsylvania. Wisconsin. Illinois,

' First of these is the two-weeks trip 'to the state fair school of home ] economics. Last year our students . were Vera Schwartz and Beatrice i Mathys. "The 4-H Club Round-Up al Pur- ] due each spring is a big event of I the dub year. Pauline Yoss, Vivian Schwartz and Ruth Ineichen have won the right to take this trip 1 next spring. Forty boys and girls ’ also won one-day trips to the state fair last year. “The success of 4-H Club work is due very largely to the efforts of the local leaders. This group of splendid men and women have given freely of their time and ability to this work. We ask your support of their endeavors and your cooperation in making 4-H Club work of greater value to the boys and girls of Adams county.

Ohio and Indiana, and at the present time there are six bulls from his herd in service, not over 15 miles from his farm. All this shows the value of getting a good cow when you wish to start a dairy herd. The health of Mr. Schwartz's herd is good, having a clean report Bangs Disease test, and for IS years has been tested annually for T. B. and never had a reactor. Another unusual feature of the herd is the daily milk records that have been kept for 20 years. Before the Dairy Herd Improvement association was organized, he occassionally tested the milk to figure individual production records, but since tlie association was organized, he has been a member and this was done by the tester. Mr. Schwartz’ son, Millard, is a I member of the Adams county 4-H j calf club and hopes to be a good dairyman like his father some day.

This association has also discover- ! ed, by cooperating with the 5-Acre I clubs in various parts of the state, i that besides the crop seed there is much to be considered and to do (o improve and maintain fertility of soil. I have often heard farmers say. ‘Oh, it's no use for tne to join the Five-Acre Club with my poor soil, I won't get anywhere in the race for a high yield anyhow.’ "That was also the case with the present Indiana corn king, who with his sons joined the Indiana Five-Acre Club and got interested and started out to see what they could do with their poor soil, and now they are holding the corn king record of Indiana for three years and are making higher records every year. Last year their yield was 182 bushels; 100 bushels per acre than my yield in 1934, and 1 won second place in the county. “Now' what has been done in the state can be done in Adams county, and as we take our boys with us, we will not all be able to hand over to our next generation large estates, but let us at least make the effort to hand over experience in building and maintaining
