II "Again almost every grower co-1 I; operated with i;<- to insure the great- i [pest return possible per ton of beets. 1 ( This was done by giving the crop good care, harveslng at the right J time, delivering clean beets pro,'perly topped, keeping the- beets pil- .; ed and covered with tope In the , field, carefully pitting and covering the beets ut the barnyard or roadI side while clean and free from I freezing, and then delivering them I to the plant only eo fast as they could be sliced without sipoihgo In the yards. This coojieratijn inei'eae- | ed the returns from the beet crop by thousands of dollars. “In the operations of the factory ' and the field department we huve 'dene ev?ryt<blng possible to aid the ‘ grower in the production and delivi ery of good sugar beeta and to con--1 vert the crop into the highest grade 1 products an efficiently 'and with a great a net profict as could possibly i be attained. 1 “The building of the soybean ' processing mill in connection with i the augur factory has established a cash price the year around for another iniporr.mt crop from the farms of this area. By (manufacturing fertilizer for our growers we have attempted to make you a definite saving on this necessary product (and to render a real service. "This year we are spending 'a great many thousands for new equipment to still further improve the various plants operations. Your continued cooperation to eliminate bad be -ts, together with the prospects for better sugar prices and the benefit payments to be made to sugur beet growers by the govsernment, .make bright indeed the chances for you to receive excellent returns for your 1935 beet crop.” Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

At 10 o'clock thebugle will sound taps, lights will be extinguished and the camp made quiet and peaceful for a good night’s sleep.

Milk One Os Most. Essential Items Os A Well-Balanced, Healthful Diet ■ 1 I

Milk Is a food no one should do without, because, it contains so many elements of a healthful diet. We should use it every day. A quart for each child and a pint for each adult is a good daily allowance. It is important that growing children have plenty of milk. It Is especially needed for good teeth and bones, as milk supplies in almost ideal amounts the minerals that go into their composition. Adults of all ages need milk and it is particularly important for the sick. Milk is always a good investment, even when very little money can be spent for food. We do not usually think of it as an energy supplying food, and yet a quart of average richness supplies from 'two thirds to three-fourths of the total energy required per day by a three year-old child: about one-half of the energy needed by a child of five; and about one-fourth tha* needed by a man moderately active. One cup of milk has about the same energy value as two and ! one-half eggs or three and threefourths ounces of lean round beef or eight and one-half ounces of string beans. The milkmen of Adams county ploy nor to suffer, nor permit the employment by any other person. . i. , so that full responsibility rests upon the producer to prevent the employment of children, younger than the required ages, whether such children are employed or used, by tenants, share croppers, contractors, or any other person who may lie interested or engaged n the cultivation or harvesting of the crop. “It should be noted that the requirements outlined above do not apply to anyone of the immediate family of the party signing the production adustment contract as producer: or to members of the immediate families of bona fide tenants, who supply a substantial amount of equipment or other capital in the production of the crop and who manage or participate actively in the farming operations of land which they lease, as provided for in the interpretation of section 10 ta) of the production adjustment contract made on May 22, 1935. signed, John E.

go to a lot of expense and work to i supply their customers with fresh 1 clean, wholesome milk. They and , their families work seven days a I week to supply it. The cows are groomed and washed. The milking stable is kept swept and clean. The bottling rooms are scrubbed and the milk bottles and utensils are washed and sterilized. The milkmen spare no expense to produce quality milk. The cattle are regularly tested for disease and the herds kept free from dis- . eased cattle. The milking stables are white washed and disinfected. Airators and refrigerators are used to cool the milk so the bacteria will not multiply. Mechanical bottlers and cappers are used to keep the milk from coming in contact , with bacteria. The Adams county dairies are | often inspected by an inspector representing -the Indiana state board of health. The dairymen are cooperating with him in trying to , produce wholesome milK. Why all this expense and work? ; So the people of Decatur may receive a safe and fresh supply every day of this wonderful product —Milk, the all around food. SOY BEAN MEAL LESS EXPENSIVE Experiments Show Pigs Fed With Soy Bean Meal Gain Faster in this day of narrow profits between the cost of feeding livestock and the price it will bring in on the market, all feeders are seeking to keep 'their ration expense us low as is consistent with good results. Among the interesting experiments in this direction is a recent report on a four-month feeding .test at the Ohio Experiment station. The test showed pigs fed expell-er-type soy bean meal with minerals, alfalfa and corn gained 158 pounds, while other pigs fed at the same time on tankage, linseed meal, corn, alfalfa and minerals gained only 151 pounds. The most Important finding was 'that the pigs fed expeller-type soy bean meal with minerals gained faster in weight and ate 56.12 pounds less corn indicating that better results were obtained on less teed consumed. Master Soy, recently placed on the* market by McMillen Feed Mill of Decatur, is scientifically mineralized soy bean meal made from beans gathered in this territoiy and is very similar to the mineral- ' Izod meal used in the Ohio station tests. program committee met to plan the year's program.

INCREASE IN FARM NUMBER NOT ABNORMAL Adams County Farms Show Increase Os 21 In Five Years The increase in farms in Adams county between the time of the 1930 census and 'the 1935 agriculture census lias been termed "abnormal’’ by John J. Lennan, area supervisor for the survey. A letter was received from Mr. Lennan today by L. E. Archbold county agent, asking whether he believed an increase of farms from 2,140 in 1930 to 2,161 in 1935 was "justifiable." Mr. Archbold replied tliat in his opinion an increase of 21 farms in five years was not "abnormal" The figures do not indicate an increase in Ihe amount of land put in production but that where formerly one man f<trnied several farms now the farms are being worked individually. There is scarcely an inhabitable farm house in the county vacant. The letter received by Mr. Archbold is: "1 am writing you in connection with the enumeration of the U. S. census of agriculture in your county. It has been my intention to make a personal visit with you but owing to other pressing matters, 1 have been unable to get to DecafTir. "Preliminary returns indicate an abnormal increase in the number of farms in Adams county from 2,111) in 1930 to 2,161 in 1935. is such an increase justifiable? “According to .the census definition a farm is any piece of land of three acres or more engaged in producing farm products, or any piece of land producing more than $250 worth of farm products in a year. You will note from this definition that a number of small places not generally regarded as farms will be included. "In your opinion, then, has the 'back to the laud movement’ been of such great proportion in the territory mentioned above? Have the city or suburban people in the past five years gone imto agricultural activities which would qualify them as farmers under the ahove definition? I wish to point out in this connection that (the $250 figure mentioned is a production figure, and not a sales figure. “I would greatly appreciate any cooperation you give me in this matter and 1 am panticularly anxious to hear from you. If 1 can be of any service to you, please do not fail to call on me. Yours very truly, John J. Lennaq Area supervisor.” urs show you a MOWER THAT REALLY Users s»y new Case hi-ltft oil bath mower is the easiest running mower built.
