Remember, that if the 1938 corn crop is good, that hog proi duction operations will be expandI ed.

With the bumper crop of apples in central and eastern states this year, there is little likelihood of expansion in this phase of horticulture. With new plantings of peaches the last few years growers are urged to recognize the danger of oversupply in this field. In regard to potatoes, Indiana growers likely will plant about the same acreage in 1938 as they did

The Purdue veterinary department suggests that infected i birds should be isolated and that persons entering the infected quarters should wear rubbers or boots' that can be cleaned upon leaving. Here’s one way that farmers can “eat a cake and still have it”: improve the farm woods by cutting for fuel or fence posts the defective trees that are constantly crowding out the good timber.

Judging from the net income, efficient production is more important than the number of cows in the herd.

in 1937 but the acreage devoted to onions likely will be slightly larger, as it has declined in Indiana the last few years from 8,470 to a bout 2,700 acres the past season. Indications are that both watermelon and canteloupe acreages in the state will expand somewhat in 1938, it they follow the patterns cut during the last year or two.

Abandon Program Washington, Dec. 17 — <U.R> — | Administration leaders abandoned hope today of enacting any of President Roosevelt's special sesi sion program but sought to salvage emergency housing legisla- ! tion from the adjournment rush ' and to guarantee final action on ' farm and labor bills the first week in January. The final rush toward adjournment about December 22 instilled some of the frenzy of last-minute Christmas shopping into congress

after four weeks of dragging de- , . bate on the farm bill. Senate leaders again held legislators far into the night and called ' them back early this morning in > an effort to vote before nightfall on the administration crop control bill. Sectional battling and horse I play marked last night's session as senators wearied under the strain of long hours. Majority Leader Alben W. Bark- , ley, D., Ky., failed in two attempts to get a sharper limitation on debate and grimly called the senate ito meet an hour early to speed j action on remaining amendments i and two substitute bills that would replace compulsory crop control with domestic allotment plans. House chieftains demanded a final ballot on the controversial : wages and hours measure even though it requires a continuous session until midnight. They predicted a safe margin on the final vote. i o Finish Evidence In Suit For Guardian Evidence in the suit seeking the appoinment of a guardian brought by Matie Numbers and Edna Dean ’ against Uriah Grimm was compjet--1 ed late Thursday afternoon in the ■ Adams circuit court.

DAIRY MEETING HELD THURSDAY Purdue Extension Expert Speaks At Dairy School Here “If the dairymen expect a substantial Income from their dairy i herds, a definite long time management'program should be established [on every dairy farm”, stated E. A. Gannon, extension dairymen of Pur--1 due, at the dairy school held at the Moose Home here Thursday, afternoon. “The feed budget and feeding ! plans should be definite and fol- ■ lowed each season. Good dairy cows must have good milk producing ra- i tions before they will be able to produce dairy products and dollars , efficiently. Too many farmers on diversified farms expect cows to perform efficiently on whatever is harvested as a feed, with little regard to the value o fthis feed as a milk producing ration. Consequently, more cows are kept, more labor reqquired and sur1 plus dairy products develop on the i markets, resulting in unsatisfactory ; returns for the farmers. i “Raising and selecting replacements for the dairy herd is a very 1 important phase of dairy herd management, if high average production : and healthy herds are to be maintained. as well as income. The breeding program will be of great importance in this part of maintaining herd income. Replacements should be selected from the best I cows in the herd whose production >is higher than the herd average ' I Use sires of known production whose immediate ancestors are I known producers and reproducers. iHeifers for replacement should be I well grown strong and thirtfy, and of desirable type. “Healthy herds will produce more income than infected herds. Some I diseases reduce the milk production of individuals 22 per cont,

causes 49 percent loss in calves, and 1 and increases sterility in the herd. 1 It is a difficult task trying to main- 1 tain a substantial income with a diseased herd. “Proper handling of the product and utensils will produce the desirable quality in dairy products Here [ again following a simple program of immediate cooling of product ■ ; clean cows; properly washed and sterilized utensils, will make a big difference in the qquality of the pro- j duct placed on the market. “After all, the returns fiom a] dairy herd are about in proportion I to the hed owners interest in sup-1 plying the proper summer and win- 1 ter feed program, his knowledge 1 and interest in se.’ecting sites, and replacements so rhis herd, his interest in records from year to year, the health of his cattle and the kind of a poduct he places on the market. «, “Better dairy herds and incomes are the direct result of a definitely planned program from year to year.” • o SEEK CONVICTS (CONTI MU ED FKOM v-aGE thing he could do.” Warden Johnston said the two convicts were counted in the lineup at 1 p. in. yesterday. “At 1:30 p. m. they were gone," he said.

It was announced later that the two men had broken two panes of a metal-framed window, crawled out into the work yard, jimmied

the lock on the mesh wire fence and leaped to the rock ledge. It was high tide'at the time and the men possibly could have dived into the water. At ebb tide they would have struck bare, jugged rocks at the base ol the island, but with the tide in, the rocks were covered with several feet of water, enough to sustain a diver from the ledge. Obviously, the escape was perfectly timed to coincide with a dense fog and a high running tide. Whether they had an outside accomplice with a boat was merely a guess. “I don't believe any man alive could live in such water." Johnston said. "Certainly he could not swim against such a current. 1 will not say that I believe the men were picked up in a small boat, because j I have no reason to believe that they had help. But it is possible | t hey were picked up by some craft.”

! By the time the search was well I I under way, the tide was moving iI out at the rate of seven knots an -1 hour. Coast guard boats, whose race to the island was the first [ indication to outsiders that something had gone wrong at the pris-1 on. kept up a constant radio communication with Johnston and with: each other in secret code. One boat carrying newspaper cameramen approached the island and was fired on by prison guards. Another cameraman who went out i In a police boat was turned back by coast guardsmen. Jack Cartright and John Florea, San Francisco Examiner cameramen, said guards fired three times toward their boat but they believed 1 the shots were intended as a ■ warning.
