Grange Head Vetoes GOP Farm Program Flat Repudiation At Grange Convention WASHINGTON (INS) — "Gov ernmental programs under which we are currently operating . . . were not designed to fit the conditions under which American agriculture operates in 1955, nor under which we will operate in 1956.’’ Herschel D. Newsom, master of the National Grange, voiced this Hat repudiation of the GOP farm program at the opening of the Grange’s 89th annual meeting in Cleveland, O. In large measure, Newsom’s prepared address was a renewal of the Grange’s long-time view that farm price problems should be approached on a commodity-by-com-modity basis. One of the most significant sections of his speed criticized the composition and method of operation of agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson’s 18-man national agricultural advisory commission. The Grange claims credit for suggesting that such a commission be organized for the purpose of

helping to reconcile conflicting view-s and develop overall farm policy. But Newsom said: “Despite the fact that the- commission has met several times and is said to have advised the secretary on many problems, there seems to be very little evidence that it has succeeded in serving the primary function r for which the Grange sought its i creation . ... “It is disturbing in the light of - our original purpose ... to find • that it |s very difficult to ascer- • tain—in fact, it is impossible to learn officially—the subject that f is being discussed by the advisory , commission. , “And seemingly it is impossible , for those of us in farm organiza- ( tions, at least as far as the Grange is concerned, to have any opportunity to present our own positions [ and the reasons therefor.” t The commission customarily makes its reports directly to Ben- . son and leaves it up to him whether any recommendations the . panel makes shall he made public. , It is scheduled to meet later . this month in connection with reck ommendations the secretary will send to congress next year for enactment of new farm legislation. r i American trucks would make up f a convoy 24,000 miles long.

Millis, state commis- 1 sioner of revenue, today announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor of Indiana in the June, 1956, G.O.P. convention. Insurance Agent Is Robbed At Gunpoint INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Two men robbed an Indianapolis insurance agent at gunpoint Tuesday night and escaped with S2OO in cash and the agent’s overcoat. Richard H. Gerrish, 29, told police the men accosted him as he finished calling on a client. He said one of the robbers carried a .45 automatic. - - MILLIS IS (Continued From Page One) years ago and was graduated from Paoli high school and the 'lndianapolis College of Pharmacy. He is a veteran of World War 1, serving 13 months in France and being discharged as a staff sergeant and belongs to the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He' operated retail drugstores in Paoli and Campbellsburg for 26 years, and also was employed by the Paoli State Bank. Millis served in the house of representaftives from 1935 until 1941 and was GOP Door leader in the 1939 and 1941 sessions. He was ’elected treasurer of state in 1944 and reelected in 1946. He was elected auditor of state in 1950 and reelected in 1952. He supervised formation of, and served as first commissioner of the state department of revenue, the post he now holds. During World War 11, he was an official of the Indiana civil defense department. The candidate is a member of the Friends church and the Masonic lodge. He and bis wife, Ruth, live in Indianapolis and are the parents of two sons qnd a daughter. «><•>• 'Curiously, Millis was campaign manager for Governor Craig's arch enemy, Senator William E. Jenner, in 1940 when Jenner ran unsuccessfully for the GOP gubernatorial title. Since that time their ways parted and Millis has been a leader for Craig against Jenner’s bid to obtain control of the Republican state organization. Others mentioned as hopefuls for Governor include Lieut. Gov. Harold W. Handley, of LaPorte; house speaker George S. Diener, of Indianapolis; Republican state chairman Alvin C. Cast, of Kentland, and Dan Cravens, of Franklin, member of the Indiana alcoholic beverage commission. There has been mention of former Governor Ralph F. Gates, of Columbia City, but he has stated definitely he will not run. Some observers believe he may be the next GOP state chairman. He now is Indiana GOP national committeeman—-— —— Four state officials are being mentioned for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor.

That question is thrown at us quite often. In the case of pullets just coming into production we explain it this way. A good pullet usually lays her first egg at 4% to 5 months, but body growth is not complete until about 10 months. Her greatest strain comes during the first 4 to 5

Houser of Root township. Arthur Franz of 803 North Third street appeared before the council to request action x»n a property dispute with a neighbor. The property in question is actually owned by the city but has been tended for many years by the Franz family. The neighbor has recently planted shrubbery on the property.

months of production, when she should lay 80 to 115 eggs, complete her growth, maintain her body. Special feeds to meet her demands for a higher level of proteins, vitamins and minerals often help the pullet through her peak production period without mishap. Booster Checkers are extra high in animal and vegetable protein, mineral and vitamins. They’re designed for top-feeding during times of stress. Top feed Booster Checkers now to guard against production slumps later on. Also, great for conditioning older layers if needed. Hurry Pigs to Market on Purina’s hog profit plan. Time means nothing to a hog, but it means everything to the hog man. That’s why we want you to take a good look at this graph which clearly shows why it’s so important to pile on pounds early. They’re the cheaper gains. To make fast starts even faster Purina Research has added Baby Pig Chow to famous Purina Pig Startena. Super-palatanie Baby Pig Chow gets pigs eating and gaining early . . . often in a week. Feed only 50 lbs. to the litter, then switch to pig Startena. The average hog man weans only about 6.47 pigs per litter. At the Purina Farm we _ have weaned 9.15 pigs per litter. Since it takes 5 pigs to break even, we have a profit on 4.1 pigs. We’re sure you could use extra profit like this. And we don’t stop here. The average hog man markets only about 11 hogs from each sow per year. At the Purina Farm 17 hogs are marketed from each sow. Thousands of hog men are marketing 1,750 to 2,000 lb. litters in 5 months on the Purina Hog Program. Let’s do some figuring next time you’re in town.
