LIME MATERIAL USED ON FARMS IN THIS STATE Total Os 254,000 Tons Os Liming Materials Used In 1935 Indiana farmers used 254,00 tons of liming materials in 1935 compared to 156.000 tons in 1934, to correct soil acidity according to figures compiled by the extension , agronomy department at Purdue i University. Nineteen operators' of the largest quarries distributing I ground limestone used. Other ma-1 terials used included marl, sludge,' and lime dust from road stone quarries and farm pulverisers as reported by county agents. The increased use of liming materials reflects both the better economic condition of the farmer, and the greater Interest in legumes, particularly alfalfa. Among the counties using the largest kuantlties or ground lime-I stone are Clay, Vigo. Putman, Marshall. Sullivan. LaPorte, Howard. Hancock. Hamilton, Owens, Dubois, and Cass and adjacent counties. Dearborn and Ohio counties have used large quantities of lime- j stone ground on farms by small pulverizers, and in a number of counties the CCC camps are assist- j ing in the program by grinding I limestone locally. Either surface stone, or stone from small hillside quarries is being ground by farmsized pulverizers. In Adams and adjoining counties a large amount of sugar factory refuse lime, from the' local plant was made available to farmers during one week in September Thousands of tons of this material were used to correct acidity. In Elkhart County large quantities of marl have been excavated, and this material is available for local farmers at little cost. The expansion of tnis program is especially important due to the widespread need for lime to correct soils that are gradually becoming more acid thru constant cropping and pasturing, soil erosion. and leaching. Increasing acidity reduces corn and grain yields, and especially handicaps the limeloving clovers and other legumes. Clover failures reduce soil fertility and especially nitrogen and organic matter supplies, with the resulting impoverishment of soils, and increase in erosion. While the increase in the use of liming materials is creditable, yet assuming that 2 tons of limestone will correct acidity on one acre for ten years, and that at least one half of Indiana’s crop land needs two tons per acre, the annual application to meet lime needs should be one million tons rather than a quarter million.. That limestone is profitable is indicated by experience of thous aiids of farmers who have used it to correct acidity in order that they may raise good stands of clover. alfalfa, and sweet clover. On Purdue experimental fields on acid soils, every dollar spent for limestone has paid back from $2.50 to $6.00 in crop increases Over ten year periods. Use of limestone is one of the best investments in soil maintenance or improvement that can be made. , o — Reveals Pet Names Dairy Men Call Cows The Adams county association of dairymen recently completed a survey to learn the names milk men use to call their prize cows. The theory of the survey was the reason for the cows destined to go through life with such common names as “Bossy.” The following milk mpn" were Interviewed, and their prize cows names revealed: ‘ Dan Habegget has bright names as "Twinkle” and "Flash,' Jacob J. Schwartz, in the southern part of the county, uses names like “Beauty" and "Pet." Sol Mosser. prominent Adams county dairyman has a “New Deal and a "Half Pint.” Peter D. Schwartz named his prize, "Banana Susie Mary.”' Pete Lehman, local dairyman, names them all A’s one year. *uch as "Avalon,” and the next year B s, such as “Belva.” Last but not least Is Date Moses, ajso a local milk man, with a "Sally Rand" and a' “Mae West.” Mr. Moses invited the conductors of the survey to ‘come up and see them sometime.’

Control Measures To Be Continued Indianapolis, Mar. 6— Control measures against the Japanese Beetle, carried on for the past two years by the Department of Conservation and U. S. Department of Agriculture, will be continued on a larger scale this year, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, stated today. Traps used in locating the beetle in Indianapolis, will be used there and at other points this year, according so plans. The Japanese beetle, already well established in several eastern states, fpeds upon grasp roots, shrubbery and other plants. All areas In which the beetles were trapped in Indianapolis, were treated with chemical solutions to kill the beetles which might still be in the grub stage. TWO CONTESTS ARE SCHEDULED Poster Contest, Essay Contest Open To High School Students High-school teachers of this city have just received an announcement of two national competitive events —a poster contest and an essay contest—open to high-school students of Indiana. Scholarships and cash prizes will be awarded the winners. Both contests are sponsored by the live-stock and meat industry of the United States, through the National Live Stock and Meat Board. The .poster contest is being held for the first time, while the essay contest has been an annual event 1 for the past thirteen years. Last I year's state title holder in the essay contest was Miss Charlotte C. Fisher of Indianapolis. Indiana students entering the contests will also compete against students in other state for district and national championships In 1935 the national winner in the essay contest was Miss Dorothy I<ee Gulins of Ashmore, 111., who won this coveted honor in a field of 12.269 contestants. In both the poster and the essay contests, the entries are to be on phases of the subject of meat as a food. Prominent artists and home economistt will make up the committee of judges, according to the announcement.

I EUROPEAN CROP ! REPORTED LESS ' I Early Reports Indicate ' Decrease In European W heat Crop , i . Washington, Mar. 6 — This year I more than for many years, the I European wheat crop looms as an important factor in the world ■ wheat situation, according to the 1 ( bureau of agricultural economics. 1 Burdensome stocks have been I generally reduced, so that any re-' , | duction in production will make ' . j for definitely larger imports, says I! the bureau in its current report ’ 1 , on world wheat prospects. 1 i No forecast of European produc- ( tion is available, but early reports , indicate a decrease. European win- ’ ter wheat acreage is about 4 per- ( cent less than last year, and the . I condition of the crop is "the poorest in years." The fixing of the high minimum; price of wheat in Argentina has' , resulted. It is stated, in European . buyers shifting to Canadian and , Australian wheats, with Australia | especially benefitting from ArgenI tina's withdrawal. i f\ It is estimated that one-fourth - the Argentine surplus has already ! i . been bought by Europe. Exports i from Canada have been much be--1 low expectations. 3 With regard to the situation in 1 the United States, the bureau says it now seems likely that wheat ' / stocks here at the end of the year f will be reduced to about normal,' proportions; but that if wijiter . killing is not unusually heavy, and ‘ 1 should growing conditions for both f winter and spring wheat be about t average, there may be an export t surplus. This would cause a down- ; ' ward adjustment of prices to facil- . itate exports. Acreage sown to wheat for 1936 ■ ■ j harvest in 15 countries, not includt ing Soviet Russia and India, for t which reports have been received. > ! is 104.846.000 acres compared with i i 104,346.000 acres sown last year, -‘and with 100.758,000 acres sown s for the 1934 harvest. Practically' t all ot' tlie increase is in the United ; States J Acreage in 13 European conn-1 J tries is 56,803,000 acres, compared | ( i with 59.131.000 acres last year. Est- j ~ ; iinates are not available for North . I African countries, but dry weather 5 at seeding sime is reported to have B reduced the area sown The estimate for Soviet Russia -is 34,721,000 acres compared with , 31,836,000 acres sown a year ago. ' The first estimate of the area in ! India is 32,763.000 acres, or about i 1 percent less than last year. P Spring wheat seedings in Russia in 1936 may show some increase over recent years, as the result, it is stated, of the poor winter wheat g prospects, but spring wheat seedings are not expected to offset fully the decline in the fall planted acreage. ENFORCE LAW ON PRESERVES f t Numerous Seizures Os 1 Sub-Standard Products Are Reported ’ j Washington. Mar. 6 Housewiv- ' es rea’Uy established the definitions and standards for jams, jellies and preserves. For generations they have been making jams and " preserves by combining fruit and * sugar, pound for found, and boil- ' ing the mixture until it is suitably ' concentrated. The trade, too, foil- ‘ owed this pound for pound rule ’ when preserving moved from the I kitchen to the factory. Buyers expect to get just about this combi- ' nation, say the Food and Drug Au- ’ ministration officials who enforce the Federal Food and Drugs Act. ' and any combination that varies much from the standard set. by the home jam-makers is regarded as. misbranded. For several“years some products . have been appearing on the market which havo been made with a smaller proportion of fruit than is customary, or in which moisture which should have been removed r by boiling has been retained in the mixture, which lias been thicken- » ed by the use of pectin and acid. The sale of these imiatation pre--1 serves labeled as pure preserves is 5 not. only a fraud upon the pinch--3 asers, but is demoralizing to the preserve industry. Officials of the

Food and Drug Administration in the enforcement of the Foods and Drugs Act began an extensive in vestigation of the practice, which has resulted in numeros seizures of sub-standard preserves, jams and Jellies. in the last Jew months. 22 seizures of these products which were deficient In fruit or fruit juice, were made in Providence, R. I.: Fall River, Mass.; Boston. Mass.; Waukesha. Wis.; St. Louis, Mo.; East St. Louis, 111.; Cincinnati. O.; W. Warwick, R. 1.; Jersey City, N. J.; Baltimore. Md.; Washington, D. C.; Hartford. Conn.; Newark, N. J.; and Hoboken, N. J., and 44b% cartons, 682-’4 cases, and 4311 jars were seized. These represented the products of ten firms. In no case did the labels give any indication that the articles were other than pure preserves of normal composition. When adulterated food products are shipped in inTerslate commerce, they are subject to seizure under the provision of the Food and Drugs Act and in addition the shipper may be prosected. Officials of the Food and Drugs Administration state that wherever the facts warrant, it is their intention to prosecute the shippers of these adulterated and misbranded preserves. Two New Members Are Added To Test List Two new members were added to the list of farmers whose dairy herds are on test for the month ot February. The two herds who were started on test by the association are: Ayrshire herd, owned by Otto Lehman, living east ot Berne and a Guernsey herd owned by Floyd Myers, of east of Bobo. o 'H’hh ihe HOE w in say# j For Every Purpose Flowers A selection of annual flowers is I difficult to make because of the j large number of subjects.
