STABILIZATION OF COMMODITY PRICES SHOWN Income Os Northeastern Indiana Producers Increased For Y ear Federal stabilization on farm [ commodity prices increased the incomes of 10R northeastern Indiana producers 2.6 per cent on their capital investments during the year I closing March 1, 11135. i This improvement of agricultural conditions in Adams and neighboring counties was revealed in summaries of farm records prepared by the larm management department of Purdue university and returned today to farmers. The income of these farmers for tlie 12-month period was 10.2 per cent of their capital investment which averaged SII,BOO, it was shown, as compared to a profit of • 7.6 per cent the preceding year. In the two years immediately preceding 1933, farmers of north- i eastern Indiana lost .9 to 1.9 per i cent on their capital investment. In | 1930 farmers in these same conni lies whose records w’ere reveiewed by university experts earned ! j 2.2 per cent on their investments. ; Higher prices resulting from the ' ! Agricultural Adjustment administration campaign and a larger vol time of business contributed to the upturn, in the opinion of univer- ' sity specialists. The five contributive factors i were given as follows: 1. Livestock efficiency. 2. Crop , yields. 3. Amount of live stock per acre. 4. Choice of high value crops. 5. Operating costs. Larger farms yielded the most I profits for their operators for the I first time in a number of years, according to the records. Heretofore • losses of small farm operators have been lower because of their limited investment. The high value of crops of Adams and other northeastern Indiana counties are corn, alfalfa and wheat. Low value crops are timothy and oats particularly the latter. Farms involved In the university analysis are above the general average in the northern part of the state. o SPRAY RESIDUE REMOVAL SHOWN I _ , U. S.

The bulletin gives the kinds of solutions most suitable for removal of various types of l spray residues. Methods of heatI ing the solutions are described and I the temperatures that, may safely I be used are discussed.

Instead, they have compiled valuable information from all II parts of the nation and are working ! h toward betterment of conditions,” 1 | he concluded. : b State Beekkeepers To Meet October 30 Indiana beekeepers and their families are invited to attend the annual state beekeepers convention which will be held Oct. 30 in the House of Representatives, State House, in Indianapolis, in a letter recently sent out by James E.
