Officials of the Midsbuth Fair's world championship >rodeo muditioned .Jones for the job of announcing this fall’s event.

From the grand entry to the last event I put everything I had into it.” He doesn’t remember just what he said hut it must have been good. When he finished the officials didn’t keep him waiting. “The job’s yours,” they said.

He hasn’t a thought of retiring. “1 feel fine," said the , former bank janitor. “1 think i'll keep go ing as long as they want me. Kind of keeps you in, touch with what is going on.” From the point of view of continous work, Hogeland is probably the senior banker in the nation. IJe began work as a janitor when the bank pcc.ipied one room in a house in this Bucks County country town. His salary was $25 a month to start. Later, Hogeland became clerk, then cashier in 1910 and finally was chosen president in 1927. “Some folks say it doesn’t amount to much spending all this time in one place, ’ Hogeland said philosophically. “I don’t know. I’ve enjoyed getting to know people real well as you can do in a small town.” Looking back across his long life, the bright-eyed banker has just two complaints ’o make about life today. . “We seem to get too much pleasure from toutside us now/' he said i “•Men used to find a lot more joy inside of themselves.

* COUNTY AGENT’S * COLUMN ♦ —• —' — — ♦ Planting Time Squeeze Don’t get caught in a planting time squeeze this fall by, waiting until , the lakt possible minute to have your soils tested. The farmer who delays runs the risk of missing the best planting period and may have to fertilize "blind, without any knowledge of (soil deficiencies. A waste of , fertilizer dollars or a cut in crops yields is the ultimate result. Take soil samples now for fall plantings ’of small grains, urges R. D. Bronson. Purdue University soils specialist. Thbse farmers who mail them right away to the State soil testing laboratory, will get their, test reports back in two to three weeks, plenty of time at this early date to order fertilizer according to\ indicated erpp needs. He says that information sheets and sample boxes, both with instructions, are available from the coiinty agricultural agent. are cautioned against waiting tp' send samples in until the last ctwo weeks in August, a period when the laboratory is taxied to capacity. Large numbers of samples arriving during this rush season create unavoidable delays in the mailing of test reports badly needed by farmers ready to plant. Bronson says that normally about three weeks must be allowed for ; each of the soil samples submitted to the laboratory. This includes A ten day conditioning period that cannot be reduced without the accuracy of the test results. However, processing can be slightly speeded up during the “off-peak” period in July and early August, when smaller quantities of samples are received. • derson, -he was so impressed he decided .to become a doctor.
