sSm». — *,l 1 ■ ■ ■ »■ ■—-» Farmers are taking advantage of the fair weather and are working night and day to prepare their fields for the summer crops. It is not an unusual sight to see lighted tractors working late into the night In all parts of the county. Indications are that this year will produce some record crops if favorable weather conditions continue through the summer. Farmers say the spring weather has been almost perfect for the preparing of the ground. 0 0 You don't have to go to Fort Wayne or Indianapolis to see a good automobile race. Almost every night there are several pretty fast heats down North Sec- - ond street There is a stretch of from Morahali nUvut a flail tßirf? irvrn ivTarßiinii street north to the point where there are no street intersections and the city’s spreed maniacs go banging down the straight-of-way much to the disgust and protest of residents along the area. Since Second street is not a state or federal highway, the street is not patrolled by state police officers. The offenses have been going on for some time. 0 0 Legal notice appears bn today's Daily Democrat for additional appropriation by Decatur school board from its cumulative building fund. The amount to be transferred is 376,225 and the money will be used to pay for construction of the new Northwest elementary school building.

one cash £rop in the Hoosierland. In recent years, an average of 1,600.000 acres of soybeans have been under cultivation .with an average value of ninety million dollars. Through the combined efforts of private industry, science such as the laboratories of the McMillen Feed Mills in Decatur and agricultural study centers like Purdue University, new and improved varieties of seed have been developed. This new seed has boosted the average yield from twelve and a half bushels per acre in 1924 to twenty-three bushels in the last few years. Many Adams county farmers equal er exceed this average through use of newer methods and improved seed. W. Guy Brown. Superintendent of the Decatur public schools has signed a new contract extending his services in that capacity until August, 1958. In so doing, Superintendent Brown will see his long-time dream of a school system for Decatur, second to none in Indiana, come true. He was instrumental in planning and putting into operation the expansion program in Decatur, which calls for two new elementary buildings, remodelling of Lincoln school, and improvements at the high school building. We believe that the school board used good, sound judgment in asking Superintendent Brown to continue his service to his home community. We are glad that Superintendent Brown has agreed to remain. Decatur fs his home, and while he no doubt could command more than double his salary in a larger community 4be has chosen to stay in Decatur and continue the 10ng- ,,. time educational-program ■ which already has gained high recognition through the state and midwest. Decatur's school system, with its fine school board and high caliber administrative and teaching staff, is one of the principal reasons for our steady growth in population. People seek out places like' Decatur to live and work and enjoy the American way of life. We are glad to join just about everybody in our community in wishing Superintendent Brown many years of pleasant and continued success in his great undertaking here. «SP —ii. - i . ————
