during the oil on a limited basis, ihd automatic machinery la expected later this week. Most of the work at the plant right now is part of the general clean-up and conversion necessary before large scale operations can be started. Childers, who has recently renred from 2J~yeaFs‘ of facing and stunt driving, states that he has epent 19 years in developing the o|l. He also plans to manufacture an automatic accelorator which jk—y . ..

would keep a car driving a certain set speed, ‘until the accelerator or brake is touched. • Childers . will start production soon on a nylon safety b'elt for use in pleasure cars.' The adaption of safety belts in automobiles, as they are used by race drivers, and in airplanes, will prevent £0 percent of the automobile wreck fatalities, Childers says. Childers stated that his gas and oil additive can now be purchased at most Decatur service stations and from automobile dealers. Childers has ambitious plans for Expanding, and will make DeYatur the center of his operations. He hopes to eventually increase the size of his plant and hire many more employes.

Demonstration Plot On Wheat Combined Eight Wheat Types Produced On Plot More than thirty interested farmers quit combining wheat early Tuesday night to watch the combining of the wheat demonstration plots on the Oscar Brown farm. K. E. Beeson, extension agronomist from Purdue University, explained to the group the different characteristics of each of the eight types of wheat grown. The types which were harvested Tuesday were Experimental 395, Vigo, Saline, Fairfield, Cornell 595, Seneca, Butter, and Knox. * 1 Experimental 399 and Cornell 595 both produced 48 bushels to the acre; Fairfield produced 47.5 bushels. Other varieties and their

yield per acre were: Saline, 46 bushels; Seneca, 45 bushels; Butler, 44 bushels; Vigo, 43 bushels; Knox, 42 bushels. i Most interesting result obtained from the demonstration, Beeson noted, was that the unfertilised wheat Cornell 595 produced 32 bushels to the acre, while the fertilized Cornell 595 plot produced 48 bushels to the acre. All bushel yields were based on 60 pounds of wheat to a bushel. Actual tests of each variety show that the wheat will weigh from 94 to 57 pounds to the bushel. Actual comparative corrected values with test weight of each variety considered, will be released later through this newspaper. Beeson stressed that tnese figures taken alone doM»ot show an accurate picture by themselves, but that the average for twentytwo different demonstration plots with the same varieties will soon be available whicb will give a clearer picture. Beeson pointed out that wheat

varieties, like basketball teams, will vary from field to field and year to year, but that all varieties recommended by Purdue are good producers. The following varieties are recommended by the Purdue University agricultural experiment station for this region: Knox, Vigo, Saline, Seneca, and Fairfield. Butler is acceptable. These recommendations have been reached after years of testing, not only in experimental plots at Purdue, but also at regional test stations, and as a result of recommendations from individual farmers. : Beeson stated that from eight*' to ten years of detailed experiments are made on each variety before it is released as a recommended variety. Each variety is “tailored" to meet the demands of the farmers — stronger straw, shorter straw, higher production, rust-resistant, smut resistant, etc. Recommendations for planting are changed each year as more information is received, and new varieties are released. The Knox variety, Beeson said, was developed in answer to a demand for a short, early maturing wheat. A short Chinese variety was used hi the breeding experiments which led to the present variety, he stated. Knox has shorter straw and good standing ability, but must be cut five days earlier than other wheat varieties. This means that the farm work schedule must be inspected before the farmer decides to plant an early maturing wheat. Vigo is a six year old variety Introduced after Fairfield. It used to be the highest yielder, but now* several other varieties are giving it a close race. Beeson said he does not expect it to be the top producer this year. Some farmers have complained that it thrashes tdR easily, and the straw shatters. It was developed in answer to farmers requests, after they discovered that Fairfield was too difficult to thresh. Experimental 399 is a mildew resistant variety which may not even be released for general planting, Beeson said, but will probably be used in breeding to help produce mildew resistant wheat varieties. Fairfleli) is an older variety which is still the top yielder in the Kankakee river area of northwestern Indiana. The test weight of this variety suffers in the souther* part Ats Indiana. Most wheat grown in Indiana is soft red winter wheat. Tn the extreme northeastern corner of Indiana, and in Michigan and Ohio, a soft white wheat called Cornell 595 is grown. This wheat is an excellent producer, but it should not be mixed in with other wheats at the elevator, and should only be sold at elevators equipped to handle it. Beeson pointed out that many elevators discount it five cents a bushel because they are not equipped to handle It. It does not thrive after a tough winter. Seneca is a bearded variety developed in Ohio together with Butler. It has good standing ability, but is not rust resistant. Experiments have shown that for each tout* pounds of fertilizer per acre, up to 25 pounds, there will be an increase of one bushel per acre of wheat. Three pounds of fertilizer per acre will increase the yield of oats 1 bushel. Adding nitrates to the soil this past winter did not increase yields as it has over the past seven years. Beeson stated, because a dry winter prevented the nitrogen producing bacteria from being washed away, and therefore the ground had an unusually high nitrogen content. However, Beeson pointed out, farmers cannot tell ahead of time whether the winter will .wash nitrogen out of the soil, and since it usually does, ft is very wise to add nitrogen to the soil In wheat fields in the springy Beeson recommends adding it in’tie spring rather than in the fall, as experiments have shown that twice as much nitrogen is available to the plants from spring applications than from fall applications. The plot was laid out last fall by members of the Adams Central Future Farmers under the direction of Martin Watson, with Brow-n’s machinery. The state agricultural extension office provided the seed. Future Farmers members D. Myron Byerly and Paul Germann as stated Oscar Brown with the combining. which took approximately 45 minutes. The grain was weighed by county agent L. E. Archbold, and later' measured for moisture content. > ' . ... . ~ Beeson stated that the lyheat yield per acre this year will probably be the biggest ever. He stated that all of the above varieties are good producers and high yieldera, but that certain characteristics of each type made one preferred over another by different fanners. For example, Beeson pointed out. for farmers who like a bearded wheat. Saline is ideal. It stands well, and Is a good yielder. It can even be planted later than other wheat varieties.

(Editor’s note: This story was written from notes taken at the junior leader conference by John Ripley, county president of the junior leaders, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Leland Ripley, of Blue Creek township.) Five Adams county junior leaders returned recently from a fourday conference at OePauw University, where they joined more than 500 other leaders from all parts of Indiana in studying leadership problems. Attending from Adams county were John Ripley, of the Blue Creek Sod Busters; Audrey Kuhn, of the Jefferson Work and Win , 4 H club; Rowena Merriman, of the Monmouth Merry Maids; and Norma Jean Bailey of the St. Mary’s Kekiongas. The group was taken to Hunt- ' ington by county extension agent L. E. Archbold, and they joined other youths from the Fort Wayne district there, and rode to Greencastle on a specially chartered bus. A full schedule of committee meetings, programs, and speakers, in addition to training programs, awaited them. All members of ths Adorns county delegation were unanimous in agreeing that the most interesting discussion was one entitled, “You and Your Manners.” All the junior leaders took an active part in the discussion, and personal questions were answered by the panel discussion group. ;

Future County Homemakers

DEANNA SIPE, left, and Linda Raudenbush, right, are two of the 4-H who are preparing for future careers as homemakers. Daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Sipe, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Raudenbush, they won second place in the junior division of the recent 4-H demonstration event with a demonstration on hair styling. By MARLENE LAURENT (Staff Reporter) "For a tender crust, don’t handle your dough any more than necessary," Carol Egley told her audience as she demonstrated the process of turning out a luscious apple pie. Her demonstration was winning entry in the 4-H demonstration and judging contest which took place last week at Decatur high school. Carol and her sister 4-Hers were given an opportunity to show off the abilities they’ve picked up in 4-H work. Some of those girls who hardly look like they’ve graduated from the doll stage can prepare a meal or whip up a dress that would put many veteran homemakers to shame. The hundreds of Adams county girls in 4-H ace learning everything from the correct way to set a table to the way they should style their hair. In the food department they can give not only plan and prepare,an out-of-tbls-world meal. ’ but they can also give you hints on improving foods or easing the process of preparing them. They not only learn how to prepare the meal. They are also familiar with nutrition and know

. SECTION TWO

Another interesting feature was a fashion show put on by an Indianapolis department store, which was of special interest to the girls. , The Fort Wayne district had charge of flag raising ceremonies each morning, part of the citizenship training present at' all 4-H activities. Ripley, 'Rumple, Miss Bailey and Miss Kuhn were members so this committee. Jofin Ripley was also chairman of the talent night committee, and district master of ceremonies at the event,' which featured a humorous skit and several performers. Rumple and Miss Bailey took part in the talent event. Miss Andrey Kuhn was elected second alternate of the Fort Wayne district, to attend next year as a special leader. Only by being chosen as a special leader may a junior leader attend the conference more than once. Rowena Merriman was elected secretary of the Fort Wayne district, and took minutes at their daily meetings. All five youths stated that they enjoyed the trip very much, and had gained many valuable ideas for their local 4-H clubs. Ripley Stated that Adams county’s junior leader organization Was one of the largest in the state, with 150 active members. He noted, however, that while many other counties encouraged their members to take as many projects at one time as possible, this county asked its 4-H members excel in from two to four projects.

TWO MORE FUTURE homemakers are Neva VonGunten, left, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Von Gunten. and Katihryn Shaffer, right, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Shaffer. Kathryn won first place and Neva took second in the junior division of ptie food preservation judging contest. what the meals should include. TJiey furthermore know how it should be served. 4-H, however, certainly doesn't stop at foods and sewing. As the recent demonstration showed, the girls are also absorbing valuable tips on home management in general. For instance, one demonstration presented by Margaret and Evelyn Griffith of the Kirkland Kut-Ups set forth the rilles of storing winter clothes and blankets during the summer. Home decoration and improvement is also being taught to 4Hers. Tn this category falls room arrangement. tip<- on decorating the rooms and how to keep homes looking attractive. On the personal aide these girls * know how to dress, how to their hair and how to improve their appearance in general. At last week's contest only a few girls were singled out Uh winners but every one who took part In both the demonstration event and the judging contests proved that they are on the road to becoming first class homemakers. A few years from now a lot of lucky fellows are going to be marrying very competent young ladies.
