DISTRICT HEAD CHECKS SHEETS Listing Sheets Under Corn-Hog Control Program Are Checked A. M. Miechter of Purdue University, district superintendent of tlie corn-hog control program, was in Decatur today to check the listing sheets for the group two and group three contracts. The two groups of contracts represent growers who have chang- . ed their farm base by adding, subtracting, or transferring contracts this year in comparison with last year. Group three contracts were signed by growers who have changed their hog base since last year or who aje entering the program for the first time this year. The listing sheets of the group one contracts have been approved and approximately 85 per cent of the possible producers under this group have signed. These will be shipped to Lafayette where they will be finally checked and approved. From Purdue they will be sent to Washington where the checks will be mailed out as soon as possible. The same procedure will be followed with group two and three contracts. o I I ■ Must Keep Livestock Off State Highways Indianapolis, Ind., June 14 —An appeal to farmers to keep their lievstock off the state highway right-of-way and not to use the right-of-way for stock grazing, wa.s made today by James D. Adams, chairman of the state Highway Commission. The appeal followed reports that within nine months more than thirty motor vehicle accidents have been caused by livestock running at large on the highways. This alarming increase in accidents, almost equal to the number chargefl to the same cause during the preceding twelve months, has not been confined to any particular section of the state. Several of these accidents have resulted in serious injuries to motorists and a heavy property loss to Ivotlx ithe owner of the stock and motor vehicle. Highway employes have been instructed to enforce a regulation prohibiting the grazing oi livestock on the right-of-way along state highway as a means of decreasing this type of accident. ——a —— Farm Club Notes Happy Hustlers The Hartford Happy Hustlers 4-H Club met at tlbe Linn Grove School house on June 11.

Article Describes Os Junior Leaders At Purdue

(Editor’s Note:— Pollyanna Lehman, one of the three from Adams county to attend the Junior Leadership Conference camp held at the Roy Scout Camp near Indianapolis from June 2 to June 7 has written the following article.) “On June 3, 1935, Alice JaneArchbold, Ardon Mosser, and I left for the Junior leadership Conference Camp, which was held at the Boy Scout Camp near Indianapolis, from June 3 to June 7. “Ardon Mosser and I represented Adams county, this being the first year anyone was sent from this county. The purpose of this conference is to train Junior Leaders to render better services in their respective communities and also for the making of friends. "The following is the schedule for one day: The schedules were all quite similar. The first thing in the morning was reveille, which was to wake all the sleepy heads, but as we were so eager to get up the first morning, no reveille was needed. “At seven o'clock three hundred thirty-four boys and girls, representing seventy-five counties, to- j gether with their chaperons awaited their first breakfast at the Mess Hall. “After breakfast we had our morning sessions. We also had sessions in the afternoon, but not as long as in the morning. During these sessions we heard many wonderful speakers, and we also had a wonderful song leader, Albert Steward, of Purdue. Some of the speakers were Dr. A. B. Graham. founder of 4-H Club work from Washington, D. C., who gave very interesting talks on ‘Psychology of Leadership’. He stated that great leaders are modest men or women. He also told of different types of leadership. He gave other helpful suggestions and ideas. “Mr. Manning, also of Washinggave a very Interesting talk on ‘Ways and Means of Solving Problems and Meeting Needs of Rural Young Men and Women, 1625 years of Age.” He first discussed the problems and then ways of solving them. First, study occupations; second, opportunity to work; third, personality development; fourth, preparation for marriage and establishment of happy homes; fifth, opportunities to participate

I WAT iS W ’ hl I PKjM Fz i u I a'. I IfffMgfiAßlgN?! THE OLD BARNYARD SUNFLOWER HAS A DAINTY RELATIVE New Miniatures Have Lost The Parental Coarseness And Make A Lovely Background In Border. They Are Excellent For Cutting.

(b r Miniature Sunflowers Miniature sunflowers in a multitude of new varieties have been introduced in recent years and this race all derived from the cucumber leaved sunflower, offer magnificent material for a tall growing planting toward the back of the border and give fine cutting material. They are entirely lacking in the coarseness of the huge old-fashioned sunflowers that were familiar and cheerful subjects in every barnyard, being slender and graceful in growth with small flowers produced in great profusion, many of them with handsomely quilled and twisted petals after the style of the cactus dahlia. Sown now in a sunny spot they will start blooming in July and continue until frost.

in religious, civic, and educational organizations. “Other very interesting talks were given by Noble Kizer, noted Purdue football coach, who stressed the keeping of good training rules, not only in athletics, but in any phase of work. “Each day we enjoyed the recreational periods in charge of W. P. Fehring, department of physical education, Purdue. Swimming was also enjoyed by those who cared to. “Each evening a vesper service was held in the open air arena close to mother nature. These services were in charge of the Junior leaders. Some talks were given on what youth is doing for the church. “Thursday evening a. candle light service was held on the camp grounds. The junior leaders formed a four-leak clover with the 4H's In each leaf. Dr. A. B. Graham 1 stood in the center, as he was founder of 4-H Club work. He lit his candle and tthen lit the Purdue Club staff's candles, who in turn lit the candles of the county agents and club leaders, who then lit the candles of the Junior Leaders. The song, "Follow the Gleam,” was. sung, which was followed by the benediction by Rev. J. D. Yundt. It was a very beautiful sight to see three hundred sixty-six candles shining forth into the heavens. The services were very solemn and impressive. 4-H Clubs do not forget the Heart ‘H‘ of their emblem. “Stunt night was also a part of the entertainment, each group giving a stunt. “Besides all the instructional and educational features, I think one | of the greatest things in camp is the making of new acquaintances and friends. “Personally, I have made numerous friends and will cherish their memories for years to come, though we may never meet again. “I now wish to take the oppor- ■ tunity in thanking everyone who helped to make my trTi> possible, as I enjoyed it very much, and know every minute was worthwhile. 1 ’ After Bird Pests BOISE, Idaho <U.R> —The state game department ended a 30-day drive to exterminate magpies with an estimated death toll of 150,000 3

They show a wide diversity of form and range from creamy white to rich gorgeous yellows, some with striking black center;. These sunflowers should be sown where they are to remain and each plant should be given 2 feet of space. They like rich soil and will prove a most attractive surprise to those not familiar with them. In the old-fashioned huge barnyard sunflower, there has been a surprising change by the introduction of red ishadeS, the flowers somewhat resembling a huge gaillardia in coloring. While too coarse for small flower gardens they are picturesque as a background or against shrubbery. Many handsome combinations in the flower garden are possible with the miniature sunflowers which grow from 3 to 1 feet tall, particularly in connection with the brilliant red zinnias and with the scarlet salvias. They germinate quickly and are excellent material for a late started garden. While, true to their name, they are at their best in full sun. they will give fine bloom in half-shaded positions and brighten up such positions beautifully. Half a day’s sun will be sufficient to insure their success. They have long stems which make them one of the valuable annuals for cutting., the blooms being gracefully poised. There are many excellent varieties, but mixtures are usually most fascinating, because of the wide variety of form that they give.

The condition of oats on June 1' was reported at 78 per cent which showed an improvement over last year, when the condition on June 1 was 40 per cent. Wet weather kept many fields from being seeded in good condition.
