The rate of infestation was 56.4 per cent. The only county which neared the infestation found in Adams county was Allen county. The table shows that the infestation is the heaviest in the northeast portion of the state, due to the fact that the moths of iiie corn borer are being blown in a southwest direction each year from Ontario, Canada, near where they were introduced from Europe. The only successful means of combating the corn borer at the present time is to completely remove all stubble from the field. One of the best means of accomplishing this is through the use of the Purdue trash shield. o Trade In A Good Town — Decatur CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

.MEMBERS MEET HERE TUESDAY National Farm Loan Asi sociation Meeting Here Next Week Members of the Adams County National Farm Loan Association will be competing with all the other associations of Ohio, Indiana. Kentucky, and Tennessee for attendance record honors when they come to the annual stockholders’ meeting to be held at the K. of P. home Tuesday, January 10. Since a national farm loan association is a cooperative credit or- ■ ganization controlled by local people, the directors feel that the full membership should take part in the annual meeting of the stockholders. The regular business meeting includes reports of the president) and the secretary-treasurer and the election of a director tor a three-year term. The director whose term expires at this time is Carl Koenemann of Preble township. Other interesting features planned for this meeting include a short talk by Miss Annette Lengerich. from the soil conservation department; Elmer W. Baumgartner. cashier, First Bank of Berne; and a representative from Repperts’ auction school. The Silver Star Hawaiians will furnish the musical entertainment for this meeting. This sextet is composed of Herman Scheumanns children and cousins. Wives of stockholders are invited to attend this anuual meeting. This association recorded a 63.1 percent attendance of members last year and the directors expect that this will be materially exceedj ed at the forthcoming meeting. The record of last year was third 1 highest in the state of Indiana. o — PURDUEHOST TO STATE GROWERS Vegetable Growers Association To Meet At Purdue Jan. 11 I Lafayette, Ind..

TREATMENT OF SOIL PROBLEM Response Os Permanent Pastures To Treatment To Be Talked Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 6 — Re- ] spouse of permanent pastures to fertilization and other soil treatments will be discussed on a joint program of the agronomy and ( farm management departments, l ; Thursday afternoon, January 12, < at a part of the agricultural con- , ference held at Purdue University. s Result* of numerous pasture demonstrations conducted in Indiana and Ohio will be discussed ( by M. O. Pence, Purdue extension agronomist, under the topic “Fer- ‘ tilization of Pasture Land.” These results will include the response ' from liming and various fertiliz- 1 er elements, singly or in combina-1 tlpns. As a result of the agricultural 1 adjustment program which stress- ' es that land be taken from deplet- 1 ing cultivation and put in soil conserving crops, much interest is being shown on the part of Ind- 1 iana farmers in all kinds of pas- 1 ture crops as well as improvement of pasture land. Although great strides have been s made in recent years in determ- , ining the plant food needs of cut- ( tivated crops, little if any atten- j tion has been given to pastures or pasture treatments. Since the 1 ( area in pasture land is equal to 1 or greater than most other farm crops and since pasture furnishes a large part of the feed for livestock for about six months out ‘ of the year, the importance of , good pasture treatment to increase the quality and yield of forage * produced is obvious to every livestock farmer. How and when to make these 1 fertilizer applications, analyses of 1 fertilizers to use, rates of applica- ’ tions and other problems of liming and fertilization will be reported at this meeting. 11 Q Trartr In A Good Town — Oecafnl

HO&SE A good part of the valuable soileuriching elements in manure is lust through exposure and leaching. The best practice is to haul the manure to the field as soon as possible. Have you recleaned' your timothy and clover seeed? If not, do it right away. Send a sample of the recleaned seed to the State Seed Cooimistioner, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., to be tested. Resolve to plant in the garden enough vegetables of sufficient variety so the family will oe well fed throughout the year. Trees for the 1939 windbreak planting should be ordered now — before the supplies are gone. Sleeping quarters that are too small ana uncomfortable cause pigs to pile up. Dusty, damp, diaughty quarters promote disease. Clothe that New Year's resolution with reality by starling a farm record book today. You can not hope to reduce the annual weed toll unless the most fundamental principle of weed control, that of sowing clean seed, is applied. Dairymen and farmers should consume more dairy products throughout the year—a good resolution. Hatchability of eggs may be improved by proper breeding. Further information on any ct
