Minimum Tillage Operation Planned • -i ■ • State and national attention will be focused on Decatur, May 19, when a “minimum tillage” operation will be performed on the Hugo Bulmahn farm, one mile north of Preble. It will be the first major demonstration of Its kind in Indiana, although Michigan has been the proponent of the grain-planting experiment. Sponsored by the northeastern Indiana soil conservation district, cooperating with the extension service, the oil conservation service, and area equipment dealers, the innovation of reducing grain planting procedures to a minimum will prove a boom to the farm industry, if successful. , Seven varied types of minimum tillage will be illustrated at the field demonstration. Groups from throughout the state are expected to attend.

The basic, principle of minimum tillage is to eliminate “unnecessary” tillage operations to prepare a seedbed for planting corn, or other grains. One method might include plowing, discing once, and then planting. Another would be to pull the corn planter hooked directly to the plow. The latter would exemplify good minimum tillage practice. The common practice in Adams county, where the texture of the soil is such that farmers' believe 5 or 6 trips over a field are necessary to get the seed properly planted, may be greatly altered. The demonstration in two weeks will attempt to discount this belief. If it is proved successful, the saving of time .fuel, costs and other valuable factors will be most profitable. Besides spectators from various state and local offices, the demonstration will host the soil conservation society of America, Hoosier chapter. They will .attend the tillage demonstration and then attend their annual meeting at the Fairway restaurant. (Beery Appointed To College Committee Michael Beery, a Decatur sophomore at Ball State Teachers College, has been appointed to the student center publicity committee for the 1959-60 school year. Beery is the son of John W. Beery of 1127 Master Drive.
