farm trends for the coming year. Tuesday the extension workers heard Paul C. Johnson, editor of The Prairie Farmer, say, “technology will have to be better, sharper, more advanced and specialized ... We will have to take a firmer hold on our economics, get acquainted with social organization and political science and take a hand in human matter that we never paid much attention to before. “We have a right to decide whether the family farm can be retained as a basic unit in our agriculture and a sustaining force in rural life and leadership..." The conference, which Started Tuesday, will end Friday. Extension leaders from Purdue will discuss problems with the local agents. The Purdue office has announced the discontinuence of farmers ihstitutes. a 67-year-old institution which was the beginning of the county agent extension system.

All Leaves Cancelled In Indonesian Army Personnel Ordered To Remain At Posts JAKARTA, Indonesia (UP) — All leaves have been cancelled in the Indonesian army and personnel have been orderd to remain at their posts, an army spokesman said today. Maj. Harsono, the spokesman, said the orders were given "in view of the present situation.” He did not elaborate. Newsmen have noted that officers at army headquarters in Jakarta have been wearing battle dress for the past few days. Indonesia has been waging a campaign of reprisals against Dutch interests in the climax of a years-long controversy over Dutch West New Guinea. One thousand Indonesian army veterans in Borneo have signed up for a voluntary force to push the Dutch out of the disputed territory, according to reports here today. The “Indonesian Independence Upholders" organization in Bandjarmasin told the military administrator in the area the men had asked to be sent to the disputed territory as a "volunteer brigade,” the reports said. At the same time, the East Indonesian newspaper “The Irian” accused the Dutch of having bombed and strafed areas of West New Guinea' to crush “national movements." The newspaper asserted the operations were directed against islands off the New Guinea coast and in the interior. The Borneo report is the first to suggest Indonesians would use force if necessary to wrest control of the territory from the Netherlands. (The Netherlands has rushed additional warships to Dutch New Guinea.) There has been no violence in the government - supported antiDutch campaign being waged throughout Indonesia. Ruslan Abdulgani, chairman of the national council, told a rally at Surabaya Wednesday that all Dutch banks, estates, and industrial enterprises in East Java will be taken over “systematically” by the Indonesian government shortly. Many Dutch businesses and plantations already are under Indonesian government control.

Central Indiana's Rainfall Heaviest In Past 70 Years Rainfall during the 1957 growing season in central Indiana was the greatest since records began 70 years ago. according to Lawrence A. Schaal, weather bureau state climatologist at Purdue university. Only one other year. 1926, had as wet a season, he said. The total rainfall for this area was 32.5 inches. June was the wettest month with rain amounting to 8.6 inches, one tach greater than any previous month since 1887. The least was recorded in September, 2.8 inches, one inch less than the average for that month. A shortage of soil moisture was reported a few times in scattered sections of the state. The average for a growing season in this area is 23 inches, but the growing seasons of 1885, 1890, and 1930 were especially dry, with only 14 or 15 inches recorded. In 1926, a comparable wet yeat, the outstanding wet months were August and September, with 8 and 11. inches respectively. The season of 1945 was the third wettest on record with a total of 29}5 inches, three less than this year. 580 New Flu Cases Repotted In State INDIANAPOLIS —- The Indiana State Board of Health added 580 cases of flu to Its 1957 total last week, an increase over the last preceding week when 418 cases were placed on the records.

Russia Worked For Years On Satellite Research, Study Over Seven Years WASHINGTON (UP)—An American scientist reports that the Russians began “active study and research" on earth satellites more than seven years ago. This country did not launch an artificial moon project until July, ISB3. The scientists, Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner, said he learned at about the time Sputnik I was born “that the Soviets have had the instrumented satellite under active study and research since 1950." * Berkner, president of the Associated Universities, Inc., of New York, is vice chairman of the World International Geophysical Year (IGY) Committee. He spoke Wednesday at the University of Maryland. Early Studies Made In 1945, he said, the U.S. Navy made "preliminary studies of an earth satellite... to determine whether such a satellite could be launched at that time and whether it was likely to have a military effect on World War II.” The conclusion was that rocketry "had not advanced sufficiently to conceive such a project at the moment and that the project would be so long in coming to fruition that it could have little or no influence on the war." In 1954 the world committee preparing for IGY proposed launching of artificial moons as a tool of science. ÜB. Announced First This country announced July 29, 1955, that it would make the attempt, and Russia formally made a similar announcement Sept. 11, 1956. It was at an IGY rockets and satellites conference here last Sept. 30 - Oct. 5 that Berkner learned, in a talk with Soviet scientist A. A. Blagonravov, that the Russians actually bad been doing satellite research since 1950. Trade in a good town — Decatur
