very thankful that it has been my privilege to work in Adams county. , County Agent , County Agent L. E. Archbold i said: "We, of the county agent’s office, have appreciated the opportunity i to work with Merwin, Miller. We found him energetic, cour-j teous, honest and efficient. By reason of these qualities, we predict success for him. 3 “As we say goodbye to Merwin 1 we say ‘Hello’ to Sanford Frazee and extend to him our best wish- ' es and assurance of full coopera- ’ tion.” Mr. Frazee said: "Merwin Miller, your dairy herd ’ improvement association tester for ’ the past five and one half years, has given a tremendous amount of ■ effort toward making the Adams f county ‘Dairy News’ a great suecess. The result of this work has put Adams county dairy work be-1 ; fore the eyes of the public for the ■ past five years throughout the - state, as the paper has been - ed into other states. ; Merwin has chosen to fit him-, i self for a higher position tn the | dairy work. I am sure all the folks ! in Adams county wish him sue- ! cess." [. o DEMONSTRATION :l IS ANNOUNCED JI k ’ Paint, Landscaping Demonstration Planned For County Mrs. Elmer Armstrong of Ran- ‘ dolph county will present a series ‘ of paint demonstrations and give i talks on landscaping at programs ,to be sponsored in Adams county jby the state social-educational division of the Farm Bureau, next week. The first demonstration will be j I an all-day session to be held Tues- | day, February 16, at the home of | Mrs. Eldon Ford in Blue Creek I township. A pot-luck dinner will ,’be served at noon. On the evening of the same day, i at 7:30 o’clock in the Monroe high f school building, a second demon straton wiill be held. The third program will be at the home of Mrs. Joe Hunter on Adams street in Decatur at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The last program will be given Wed- - jnesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in I the Kirkland high school. Mrs. Armstrong has been asso- • ciated in demonstration work for a number of years and is considered well qualified. She will illustrate the proper ways of doing interior decorating, specializing in the painting of walls, doors and woodwork. She will also speak on landscaping. i The programs are open to the public and no admission will be charged. LESS BEEF TO | BE MARKETED Government Predicts Lowest Supply Os Cattle Since 1935 Commercial slaughter supplier to cattie and calves in 1937 apparent- 1 I ly will he ema'ler than In any of the | : last three years, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics says in its January report on the beef cattle situation. .The slaughter supply thin year i will include a relatively smaller 1 number of the better grades of. grain-fed cattle. The number of catt'e on feed for market in the Corn Belt states at the beginning of this month was estimated an 23 per cent less than a year ago and was much below aver-1 age. The number of cattle on feed ; in the Western States at the beginning of 1937, however, was larger than a year earlier. dt seems evident that consumer demand for beef and veal is increasing, and it is regarded as probable that the demand through 1937 will be somewhat stronger than last year In view of the prospective decrease in slaughter supplies and the probable further increase in cosumcr demand for meats, the Bureau expects the general level of cattle prices in 1937 to be higher than it was in 1936. r (j Museum Attracts Children Toledo —(UP) — Attendance at Museum of Art in 1936 totaled 32U4150.

US.SEED IS '! FOUND BETTER Tests Prove Foreign Clover Seed Is Poor In , America ( The results of an interesting ser- ; les of experiments on the relative hardiness and yielding ability of red clover from different regions was announced today in a statement from Purdue university. ( The report is: , "Since 1920, 211 lots of red clover from the clover seed proj ducing areas of the world have s been tested. The tests up to the end of 1925 were for winter hardi- ( ness, chiefly, and were reported in i circular number 131 in 1926. ( I "Those tests showed on the av- ’ erage that clovers from different localities winter-willed as follows: 1 north central states and Canada, . 9.2 per cent; northern Europe, 13.4 ■ per cent; central Europe, 26.8 per i cent; Chille, 37.2 per cent; and - Italy 86.5 per cent. A summary of the mor/ recent data, which includes hay yields, is shown in the following table. "Clover seed produced from nat- 1 ive strains in Indiana, Ohio and probably other central corn belt 1 states. Colorado seed, and the Ten’I nessee disease resistant strain are

well adapted to Indiana. "Seed from Oregon is undesirable, being decidedly less winter hardy. In the tests conducted at Lafayette the Oregon clover has winter-killed an average of 22.5 per cent as against 10.2 per cent in seedings from home grown seed. European Seed “Clover from central and north central Europe, except Russia, win-ter-kills from one-fourth to twofifths and is very decidedly lacking in ability to make a satisfactory second growth. The lots of Russian clover tested have been quite winter hardy, although the plants are smaller, particularly in! the second growth, than native 1 clover. Seed from southern Europe is entirely unfit for use in Indiana. Seed from Chile is also unadapted to Indiana. "Foreign clover seeds may be of good quality and produce good stands of plants, but when it comes to winter hardiness and yielding ability they cannot be judged by the appearance or germinating quality of the seed.’’ It has been pointed out that farmers with any mixture of foreign clover seed in their plantings can not qualify these fields as soil conserving crops under the 1937 agricultural program. — o— Clock Nearly Perfect Cleveland —(UP) —Case School of Applied Science believes it owns the world’s moet accurate clock.

“Window Gardening” is new fad I' jjil 111* <•». h - “u- ■‘T —iSiujfi I taußSft >?7~~7r—ii — y : ILL -iW•? SR H '-S %gl ■

A new conception of indoor gar-; dening which has found many enthusiastic adherents is the idea of creating a pleasing surrounding i with plants. It takes into account a large part of the room, such as , a whole oay window, in which many plants form a design, and has little to do with single specimen plants as such, attractive as they may be on the mantlepiece, or as odd decorations. Properly worked out, such a

: group of plants suggests nothing so j i much as a solarium, which few of | us can afford to add to the house; I | and brings the cheerfulness of j growing plants into our daily lives ! in such a pleasing manner that we I revel in it. Being a major unit in the decor- : Native plan of any room, some little tim’e should be spent in designing it, and getting acquainted with the materials available, and the con- i ditions for growing them. A large

window or several of them close together, as In the illustration, make an ideal location. Such a 3'iuatlon admits full sunlight, and is usually the coolest part of the room. If a ledge is provided, or a wide sill, let this form the foundation for your plantings. Wall brackets tor trailing vines can then be arranged, and where an additional shelf is wanted midway between sill and top, it can easily be constructed with braces and a piece of glass. Do not attempt to grow too many flowering plants, unless you have a reserve supply to replace them when they are not in bloom, or unless they have particularly beautiful foliage, like the begonia. The African violet which has several blooming periods in a year, and almost always has some spot of color to offer besides its hairy foliage is another good one. Vines of various types are most useful because they can be depended upon to look their best at all times. Do not neglect the English | ivy, the wandering jew and the I philodendron, and if you are able to find one, a creeping rubber plant, with its blackish green leaves is particularly fine. Test a window setting for drafts and temperature. Usually it will ■ average close to 65 degrees, the ! ideal temperature, and drafts can easily be eliminated with putty or | paint once they are discovered. o HORSE SENSE In the successful production and | feeding of livestock, high priced I grain and forage emphasizes the ! importance of high quality animals. Until it is definitely known how long hogs can go withous water, the safest policy to follow is to keep water before them thawed at all times. To prevent rabbit injury during the winter months to young apple trees, wrap the trunks with paper or use wire guards. Planted about two feet apart,

Weeds never increase the value of farm land. Sac the county agrii dultural affnt about methods of • getting rid of them. Even the most noxious ones have a weakness, when studied carefully. Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, years have controlled losses to ■ Norway, England, and France for i grain crops from bleck stem rust i by killing the common barberry bushes which spread the disease.
