breeder is constantly developing > new varieties looking toward better fitness, better adaption, and Increased efficiency. (The Agricultural Experiment Station is testing these newer and better varieties to make sure of their superiority over the older varieties which are grown side by side in comparison, i As better varieties are revealed. and their superior qualities determined. pure seed stocks are inul- ; I tipled and make available to farmi ers. These higher yielding, better 1 adapted varieties thus may replace that "weak link” in the chain in helping the grower to keep the crop producing power of his farm up to the point of highest efficiency. This was never better illustrated than in the use of hybrid corn, that has become a well establish--led practice on the average corn belt farm of today. Newer and better varieties in the last analysis help to offset that downward trend ! in yield that threatens every fanner who is not on the alert in all his cropping methods. 0 COVER URGED FOR WILDLIFE Conservation League Urges Provision Os Cover And Food (Editor’s note: The following article is a contribution of the Adams county fish and game conservation league.) Farmers as a class enjoy hearing the cheery call of the bob white and seeing the cottontail timorously come out to eat at dusk, or in other ways sensing the presence of the wild things that help to make farm life more attractive. Those who wish to hunt or puruse game can increase this supply | by planting cover and feed for , them Planting for wild life should be planned with reference to two of the greatest needs of furred and feathered creatures, namely: the need of cover and the need of food. The planting of cover should be foremost, for as plentiful as game

FARM SECURITY AIDS FARMERS Farm Security Administration Makes Loans Available To Adams county farm families i who need operating credit for the 1 coming year's operations but who lack sufficient security to obtain loans through normal channels, the farm security administration offers an opportunity of obtaining credit on the basis of character, Integrity and farming experience. This information was given out by Charles E. Poe of Decatur, who is in charge of the FSA program in this county. "Under this program, farm families who are unable to obtain loans from other government or recognized private credit agencies are eligible to apply for loans," he said. The interest is five percent a year on the unpaid balance." I The loans, Mr. Poe said, constitute only one factor in the rehabilitation program of the FSA. Since I the purpose of this program is to ' enable the family to regain selfdependence and attain permanant security, major emphasis is placed on management. Before the applicant receives his loan, he and his family are assisted in working out a sound farm and management plan. The money obtained by means of the loans is expendable only for livestock, machinery, equipment, ■ household fixtures, feed, seed, subsistence and similar articles involved in the operation of the farm and home. They are not available for real estate. Applications for rehabilitation loans should be made through | Charles E. Poe, his headquarters in this county are in Room 8 of i the K. C. Building at Decatur. Adams county farm laborers ex- , pecting to start farming forithemselves next spring or tenants in need of operating capital may be able to work out suitable arrangements with the farm security administration. Mr. Poe said that he would be glad to talk over management and credit problems with any farm family who might be interested in i working out plans with the FSA. His office hours are from 8:30 A. , M. to 12:00 noon on Tuesday. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. "The FSA program in this county is a combination of credit and | management assistance,” Mr. Poe j said. “We furnish short time loans to farm families needing operating | capital and then follow through j by assisting them in setting up and following sound management programs which will enable them to use their loans to the greatest advantage.” He added, however, that FSA loans are available only to farm families who cannot obtain credit from other government or recog- | nized private credit agencies. The | may be, game can not exist if it i is not adequately sheltered from its enemies, and where cover is lacking the animals can not be safely reared. Cover for the majority of small forms of wildlife means low, dense vegetation, some of which should be stiff, thorny, so that when endangered by the predators, they can find protection. Many such plants grow voluntarily in fence rows, along creeks and ditches, where are readily visited by the game. Plants that make good covering may include some of the following: greenbriers catbriers, blackberries, dewberries, bittersweet, grapevines, trumpet vines and Japan honeysuckle. Providing, cover and feed for the game in such a manner will pay dividends in the form of recreation and hunting.

aim of the FSA program, he said, ' is to assist su< h families in rehabilitating themselves and laying the foundations for permanent security. The loans are made for a maximum of five years and bear five percent interest. Borrowers are re- | quired to give chattel mortgages on personal property owned at the i time of receiving the loan and on I uon-expendable property purchas-; | §d by means of the loan. HowevI er, the applicant is not prevented from obtaining a loan through lack of property to offer as security prior to receiving the loan. Major emphasis is placed on his integrity, character and experience as a farmer.

When Mrs. Cowart moved her business she wanted payment for her half of the building. No agreement as to price could be reached so she took her half of the building along. -Postmistress Brown is shown beside the remaining half.

ENROLLMENT IN CLUD COMPLETE County 4-H Dairy Calf Club To Be Reorganized Soon j Adams county has just completed its enrollment in the 4-H dairy ■alf club. In accordance with the new state rules, the club membership was taken before January lij and the club will be continuous j .hroughout the entire year. A reorganization meeting will be: held soon and at this time election of officers will be held and tha ' members will receive their instruc- : lions and record books for conducting their work. The following people have enrolled in the club: Don Arnold, Euexpensive building and repair material. Purdue agronomists report: that the Richland soybean, of which 9,000 bushels are being certified this year, matures about ten days earlier than the Dunfield variety, I and is adapted to good soils only | in the northern half of Indiana. An easy way of making French I dressing is to measure all ingredI ients into a screw top jar, adjust | the top, and shako vigorously for | a few minutes. A study of the Indiana feed tag l will enable the purchaser to bal- | ance quality with price and to buy | feed to a better advantage.

AVOIDING GLARE LIGHT PROBLEM , ■ ■ Modern Lighting In Home Avoids Glare And Shadow Urbana, 111., Jan. 20 — The question of modern lighting in the home at the present time is one of avoiding bright glare and contrasting dark shadows, said Miss Dorothy Iwig, home furnishings specialist. college of agriculture. University of Illinois, in speaking to farm and home week visitors at ) the college. In the past too little thought has been given to lighting equipment from the standpoint of conserving the eyes, the specialist said. It is ; not a question of having too much light but of directing it properly so that extreme contrasts in light are avoided. Proper shading of , light sources and locating the light source so that most of the reflection is away from the eyes are two wise policies. The actual amount of light needed in the room would depend on the use of the room, on the individual, the task i and the reflection characteristics , of the wall and ceiling, she said, i Many of the present day lighting fixtures feature the new diffusing and reflecting materials, which are an outgrowth of public demand for higher levels of illumination without suffering from a resulting glare. The best policy is to choose the light that will best serve the particular need. Lighting requirements for the downstairs hall usually may be fulfilled by the lantern type light attached to the ceiling. In addition. a small lamp may be set on the hall table. A ceiling unit probably will take care of the requirements in an upstairs hall, it was said. Well distributed lights, were recommended for the living room, since it is the scene of much activity. These may include ceiling ! fixtures either indirect or semi- | indirect, wall brackets, which are usually more decorative than practical. and the serviceable floor and table lamps featuring indirect and semi-indirect lighting.

manta for a reading er study lamp are at least a 21 inch shaft; a shade deep enough to conceal the bulbs and wide enough at the bottom to permit wide distribution of light and an open top so that the light may be directed to the ceiling. In addition the color of the shade should be light or white in order to reflect the light. Central fixtures will usually take care of the dining room lighting problem. Kitchen lighting is best carried out by a central lighting fixture and local units, and bedroom lighting through a central lighting unit and portable lamps. Contrasting the reflecting ability of wail and ceiling colors, Miss | Iwig pointed out that flat white reflects from 75 to 85 percent of the light, cream from 65 to 75 per cent, light gray from 35 to 50 percent, and dark brown only 8 to 10 per cent. Farm families are considered to have a slightly different problem than city families Largely because of the tenancy or home ownership i question and the need to keep hired help. 0 ADOLF HITLER (CONTINUED FKOM PAGE ONE) financial policies.
