Watch for official announcemuts in this paper. The GOP boys seem to be getting such a thrill out of election re-, turns that they want to continue it through the winter. The wonderful autumn weather j continues, much to the satisfaction of every one. That's one point we can all agree on regardless of politics. Candidates in the recent election, city, township and county, must file expense account reports by December Sth. A number have already done so and no doubt all I will be in by the time fixed by law-. While every one appreciates any tax redaction that can be made, it is sometimes not so wise, because if there is not sufficient

money with which to operate, we must borrow and make it up by a higher rate some time in the future. The Central Soya Company is increasing its capacity and adding an addition to its plant and to the office building, a sign that this wonderful concern is continuing to grow and that means a betterment of conditions in this splendid, grow- ' ing city. The sugar factory will close in a few days after the most successful campaign in its history. About forty million pounds of the finest sugar in the world has been manufactured. with results that, is more than satisfactory to the owners, the farmers and to every one else concernedA large amount of money will be spent in Decatur the next month. ' The merchant who gets his full share will do so because he advertises in the right way. We believe that a plain announcement of what goods you have, with a right price, will do the work, if published in this paper.

Three papers in New York City I conducted straw votes on the re-; cent election. Two of them an- ■ nounced that Dewey would be elected, while the other, the Times, I predicted re-election of Lehman. 1 based on returns. Lehman won, I showning that too much dependence cannot be placed on strawvotes. Naturally the votes are inI tluenced much from the class of readers and never include all the cross currents that go to make the ! final results. General Motors' plan to give an assured yearly income to a large proportion of its employes may I prove one of the most significant I of recent steps in the direction of i stabilization of employment. The | system announced by the motor corporation does not, it is careful | to explain, offer guaranteed employment. But it does propose ■ what seems like an effective methlod to soften some of the bumps which in recent years have made i the lot of the auto worker insecure. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Homer S. Cummings, attorneygeneral of the United States, will quit his post at the end of the year to re-enter private practise, 1 after a great career. He is sixty-1 nine years old, has held many im- ■ | portant posts and has performed | 1 always in such manner as to re-1

fleet his own great ability and to the benefit of any administration ; of wlrtcft h< has been a part. He ’ i is a great Democrat, one of the i greatest of the present day and' will leave office with the regrets ; and the honest good wishes of the • president and the entire administration. The annual roll call of the Red I ! Cross in Adams county is now in s progress and those who each year i devote so much time and effort to | this deserving movement, will ap- j preciate your cooperation that this > year's record may exceed all oth-! ers. There is no argument about it —the Red Cross is the greatest | and in fact the only organization of its kind in the world. We need it and we must support it. Jqin j for the coming year—it costs but one dollar —and it’s worth a million times that to know that when- I I ever and whereever disaster comes the next year the Angels of Mercy . will be on hand to bring relief to the suffering. Contesting a state election is a big sized job and usually not worth i the effort and expense. The cases now being filed by the Republicans must be brought in the counties where they claim there is a quesi lion. If a rceount is conducted this is simply evidence which will be presented before the legislattfTe. Since that body will be divided it | is doubtful if any verdict can be agreed upon, since uo doubt numerous questions will arise that can be decided one way or the other and will probably result in the Republicans voting for their candidates and the Democrats for theirs. The effort made to discredit Indiana, much of which comes from Chicago and other cities, will we predict, eventually prove a roarhack for after the people know the facts and see that it has been only dirty politics, they will certainly not approve the articles, editorials and cartoons that have made it appear that Indiana is a cesspool of crooked politics. In this city I and county, there has not even I

Outlook For Indiana Farmer Is Reviewed In Five Articles

(Editor's note: This is the fourth of five articles reviewing the "Outlook for Indiana Agriculture in 1939” prepared by the Purdue University farm management department in cooperation with the school of agriculture, agricultural experiment station, department of agricultural extension, and U. S. department of agriculture. This deals with the Indiana crops outlook; tomorrow's article will concent “a summary of recommendations for 1939 farming.”) Lafayette. Ind.. Nov. 18. — Cribs full of corn and granaries filled with grain and mows heavy with hay in away describes the present situation with regard to feed supplies and Indiana crops in general. according to the outlook report for Hoosier agriculture in 1939. prepared by Purdue university agricultural specialists. Freed supplies for the 1938-39 season appear abundant in light of the present year's favorable growing season and the large carry over from the 1937 crops. And, thus, feed prices are likely to remain at low levels. The pasture outlook for 1939 appears good, according to the report. pointing to the present above average pasture condition due to favorable fall weather and to the new seedings entering the winter in good condition. The supply of protein supplement feeds is expected to be smaller in 1939 than this year due

largely to a“. . . reduction of 23 per cent in cotton seed cake production resulting from a reduction i of the size of the 1938 cotton | crop.” “While the corn loans available to farmers cooperating in the agricultural adjustment program will be a factor in bolstering the price of corn, feed grain prices are expected to remain low in relationship to livestock prices throughout the current year. Hay prices, be- | cause of unusually large supplies, | will likely be lower than for the i past a6OH. Corn Although Indiana's 1938 corn production is estimated to be 23 per | cent under last year’s crop and 14 per cent above the 1527-36 average. stocks of old com on farms in the United States on Oct. 1 were reported to be at a 13-year record high of 352.000,000 bushels. “Exports of corn from the United States in 1938 have been the largest since 1921-22. Large exports expected to continue because of large supplies and low prices in the United States and the small Argentina supply,” the report states. Oats The trend in oats acreage and production in Indiana has been been a whisper of any thing wrong in the conduct of the election and i we doubt if there is any truth.to 'the charges made elsewhere. Can it be a case of sour grapes and poor sportsmanship?

downward since about 1900. and the specialists state, “. . . . it may be expected that the trend in the acreage of oats will continue down- ■ ward over the next several years.” I Whfat The world wheat crop is said to I be the largest on record. It is thought a material reduction has been made in the United States wheat acreage seeded for harvest in 1939 because of adjustment operations and low prices. Soybeans Continued large supplies, coupled with an Increase in soybeans for crushing, indicate that prices paid to farmers for soybeans dur-| ing the 1938-39 season will be less than in 1937-38. Forage Crop Seeds The present crop of red clover , seed is 80 per cent larger than last year, but is still 20 per cent ’ smaller than the 1927-37 average The sweet clover seed crop is is the second largest on record, estiqiated at 30 million pounds. The sweet clove rseed crop is about the same size as in 1937. There is again a shortage of northern origin alfalfa seed due largely to low yields per acre. The 1938 timothy seed crop appears to be about 44 per cent as large as last year's big production but with the carry-over from 1937 an average ' supply will be on hand next spring. The 1938 lespedeza production was i 60 per cent larger than the 1937

crop. "In general.” the report states, “forage grass and legume seeds for the 1939 spring planting season I will be lower than in 1938. The ' agricultural conservation program will again encourage substantial plantings of legumes and grasses which should create a strong deI mand for these seeds.” Tobacco Indiana tobacco production in | 1938 was estimated on Oct. 1 at above 10.5 million pounds, a decrease of nine per cent from the 1 1937 crop but seven per cent larger than the 1927-36 average. Although cigarette consumption is exipected to be greater than usual. I the price of Burley tobacco is not I expected to be as high as in 1937, dueto large supplies. Fruits and Vegetables The number of apple trees of bearing age is expected to con- | tinue downward for several years iin the country as a whole. Judg(ing from the relationship between , supply and demand of potatoes that has existed in the past, the present price is lower than might be expected. It appears there will be about an eight per cent decrease under the 1938 crop in 1939 potato plantings. Onion production in Indiana was estimated at 388,000 sacks in 1938 as compared with 500,000 a year ago. “Studies indicate that the storage of onions is more likely to be profitable in years when the United States crop is small than in years when there is an abundant supply of onions,” ' the report states. Forest Products Reduced operation of Indiana mills has lowered the demand for
