Indiana certified brucellosis-free by 1950. While this seems at first glance to be an ambitious project. the overwhelming response to the new accelerated program lias made the goal possible. Basis reasons for this acceleration in the plans to erradicate brucellosis are evident. Consumer demands for cleaner, better milk, to drink, plus the fact that the infected herd of animals does not make money for Us owner, makes the plan very sound, both from a public health standpoint and also from a financial point of view. The danger to the family of the farmers is also a prime reason. A further reasofi is the availability of a large appropriation from the federal government to aid the state in getting started on the program. This federal money

is useiin a state only with the express permission of the officials of that state, and is used in the manner that will best further the job of eradication. In Indiana, federal money is being used in the payment of indemnities to owners of eligible reacting cattle, for testing cattle in the counties which sign petitions for area clean-up programs, and in retesting infected herds to completely eliminate the infection. The testing program in Indiana is set up to proceed in an orderly fashion, with those counties across the whole of the southern and northern parts of the state to be tested first, with the test moving to “the north and south as coun--3s are cleaned up. Such a pro--4m leaves a clean county behind and next to counties that are testing. This will serve to limit the movement of untested animals into clean counties. A further system of policing clean counties to prevent the introduction of infected animals is made available through the use of quarantines of feeder cattle, requirements for testing breeding cattle before entering clean counties, and the use of veterinarians and lay inspectors to check on movements of cattle. With the ever increasing restrictions on the movement of brucellosis-infected animals, and the greater demand for clean tasted animals, the Indiana farmer is in a good position to gain greatly from a financial point of view, and also to protect the health of his family and cattle herd by cleaning up brucellosis. The help is at hand for this job. It can be done. “Brucellosis must go." Boost Com Yields

Adams county can increase average corn yields as much as 10 or more bushels per. acre by following the best corn growing practices of the high yielding contestants in the Indiana five-acre corn club, says county agent, Leo N. Seltenright. Farms vary in their capacity to produce corn due to differences in drainage, soil erosion, water holding capacity, soil aeration, tilth and fertility level. So it is up to each farmer to aim for the highest potential yield in keeping with the greatest profits as quickly as time and finances will permit. According to experiments by the Purdue University agronomy department, confirmed by experience of Indiana's best corn growers, the following are important factors for high corn yields: use of a balanced program of fertilization based on Purdue soil tests, using row fertilizer as a starter, side dressing or plowing under nitrogen 40 to 100 pounds per acre where corn follows corn or other non-legumes, use of deep rooted legumes alone or with grasses preceding cm in the rotation, liming to correct soil acidity for better legumes and total crop production, planting adapted, proven high yielding hybrids, and adjusting planting rates to soil productivity level and water holding capacity. Highest yields were produced by Walter Thieme of Union township in 1954 in the 5-acre corn club contest. Farmers or junior corn growers who wish to enter the sacre corn club or adults who wish to enroll in the soybean contest are required to become mem-

Homemaking Tips 1. By Mies Berths Land It Home Demonstration Agent A plentiful supply of greenhouse tomatoes are arriving <tn Hoosier markets, according to our specialists. Greenhouse tomatoes are vine ripened, and generally picked with the greenstems attached. assuring the homemaker the full flavor and nutrition of vinejipe fruit. Indiana greenhouMß' Ore expecting a normal crop this season with early tomatoes at six to seven million pounds and peak production from the middle of May through June. Vine ripened tomatoes are a reliable source of vitamin C, needed daily by all members of the homemaker's family. One medium sized, raw tomato will provide nearly half of the dally requirement. In addition to being a good source of vitamin C, a tomato has generous amounts of vitamin A, and the essential minerals. When homemakers shop for tomatoes, a bright red color is the first indication of quality. Tomatoes should be well shaped, plump, smooth, firm and free from blemishes. Smooth tomatoes are particularly desirable where the fruits are to be sliced or served whole or in a salad. Avoid bruised tomatoes for they are apt to be watery and poor in flavor. Shrunken or shriveled tomatoes show that the fruit has been kept too long and will be low in quality. Onions, celery, cabbage and carrots are best buys of the week. Homemakers will also have a wide choice of strawberries, pineapples, bananas, broccoli, radishes, lettuce, greens, peppers, beans and cucumbers at moderate prices.
