silt has covered plantation foundations many times over. The timbers have floated away but the few remaining evidences indicate a highly cultured population. Rivet WwMWt YI«W Settled by Spanish, French and English, Indian Point reached its peak development during the Mexican War, following the improvement of transportation along the Mississippi River. Many sweeping river, bottom plantations Were laid out had fine homes erected but the Miebfasippi s muddy waters wouldn’t stay within their banks. Tear after year the flooding became worse. Finally a levee system stretching from the Chickasaw Bluffs south of Memphis to the Walnut Hills at Vicksburg wai completed in the early 185O’g, leaving enclosed farms the choice of being abandoned nr periodically flooded. The fertile lands and elaborate homes were left one by one to the ravages of river, weather and veg; etatlon. Today the only inhabitants of the once highly- cultured area are countless mosquitoes and lazy water snakes. Loses Family Tree ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. UP — Dr. J. W.

Household Hints by Anna K. Williams Home Demonstration Agent I Most fleas in Indiana are of tie ordinary cat or dog variety, so-called human flea, which feeds especially on hogs and is a common species on farms. All adtrlt fleas must have the blood of animals to reproduce. There is no such thing as a “sand flea” breeding in soil without animals upon 'which W feed. ■ f» Fleas lay their eggsion cats, dogs, or other host animals, but these eggs soon drop to the floor pt ground, especially in sleeping quar-. ters, where they hatch into tiiiy, slender white “worms/’ During tliis larval stage they aije scavengers, feeding on dirt, excrement, and other debris. In about fifteen dass they change to adult fleas and immediately \ begin to search for animals upon which to feed. H ; When houses are closed for . a period of time or when pets ate removed, flea eggs continue to hatch and the insects that develop: become’hungry arid readily aftiit h humans. Around \ farm buildings. fleas also obtain Iblood from swine,, rats, mice, and possibly other animals. A 5 or TO percent DDT dust is to control fleas ou dogs and other animals. About dhri: tablespoonful rubbed into the hair along the back from the head,! to the tall will kill the fleas within a few hours. Dogs may show'signs, of. discomfort tor a short time as DDT teinporarlly stimulates the fleas. The insecticide, . however, is not ■hurting the dog. DDT may possibly hurt eats because of their grooming habits and therefore < % % rotenone dust is suggested for the use on these animals. | J, The kennel or sleeping quarters

of the animals m|ist also be dusted *to kill the immature fleas, 1 or sprayed with one of the materials listed below for controlling fleas in and .around buildings. Liquid applications should be allowed to dry be•fore, animals have access to the quarters. .> I ; Control of Fleas in and v Around Buildinge 1 First, control the fleas on animals as suggested above and then all excess straw, debris, and. litter from the infested area ■ and scatter sonje distance away ■from the buildipgs. This is extremely importaht.>\ The infested :area may then be dusted or sprayed vrith dDT. In addition to the known Infested area, cate should be taken dust or spray the open areas ■beneath porches, buildings, etc. The following preparation may be used: A 5 or 10 percent DDT dust. A dust is suitable for use wherever fleas are found and will not harm grass or household furhishings. In the living quarters of a home it may bp swept up and removed with-j in a few hours, but if this is done a repeat application two weeks later may be necessary. Wherever DDT dust or sprays are allowed to remain for a few days bne application is sufficient. Dusts are best applied with a hand Or rotary duster of the ordinary garden type.

County Ranks Fifth In Vote Percentage Adams County Ranks Well In Indiana \ Adams county ranked fifth among Indiana’s 92 counties in the percentage of its registered voters casting ballots in the May primary election, according to results of a statewide survey, announced today. The tabulation showed an estimated total of 5,162 votes cast at the primary May 6, representing 42 percent of the 12,279 registered voters in the county. A similar survey made two years ago following the 1950 primary ballots cast in the county by 6,062 voters or 51 percent of those registered. Os the 1952 primary votes, 3,993 were Democratic and 1,169 'Republican.

that although party primary voting volume may be one factor in attempting to predict the general election outcome in a county or the state, theee factors must also be considered ■< j> (•) Hotly contested races for nominations in one party may disproportionately swell that party’s primary vote if there are no comparable races in the other party; (b) hundreds of thousands of persons who do not vote in the primary vote in the general election (over 70 percent of Indiana’s registered voters voted in the 1950 general election); (c) there is a great mass of “independent” voters in Indiana who frequently switch from one party to the other on “scratch” their ballots for individual candidates of either party.
