Silly Nonsense The state president of the Young Republicans of Indiana told a group of Porter county Republican women Wednesday night, according to a UPI story, that the Democratic congress is spending beyond the president’s budget, and that this will cause inflation and cut the real value of wages. This statement is completely false. In the first place, the Democratic congress is not authorizing spending beyond the president’s budget; it is attempting to cut foreign aid spending, military spending, and war-type spending, and channel part of the funds thus saved into public projects. Any reasonable person realizes that we cannot just “stop” spending. Such a thing would cause a depression the likes of which have never been imagined. Every factory now working on government orders, which includes most factories, would have to shut down. But we can shift from a wartime, or military-type budget, to a peace-time budget. This would mean public housing projects, to channel money into construction work, public building projects, highway construction, and other needed developments. President Eisenhower has never submitted a balanced budget, a thing which Republican politicians often overlook; in comparison, Truman was a budgetary conservative. The present Republican-controlled federal reserve board is actually bringing about both inflation and a business depression. First, it is about to increase the discount rate of 3U%. This will be done probably after the steel strike ends, and after the rate on treasury bills has been raised. This will in turn cut the supply of long-term money by sapping funds into the shortterm market, thus increasing the rate to corporations, etc., by banks. So, in spite of Democratic attempts to stop Eisenhower from raising interest rates, this will be circumvented by the federal reserve. And it will be this action, not the so-called “spending’’ bills, which are always coupled with slashes in military spending, that will cause both inflation and eventually depression. Many people feel that the stock market has been bearish, or going down in value, because big business leaders expect Ike and Khrushchev to make peace, and ' cut defense spending. It seems terrible to think that real peace, the end of the cold war, should end our period of prosperity. The only answer is to channel government spending into much-needed local and internal improvements, which in turn would provide the income people need to buy goods and services.

Measure Fertilizer Needs To Improve Crop Growth

“Look at this field of corn and then at the one across the road. That field that is firing and losing the good sat. the bottom of the stalk didn’t get enough fertilizer!” Comments like this come about this time of the year, when the oats and wheat are harvested, and the corn is ripening. You can tell by the greeness and healthiness of the crops, many times, how much fertilizer and what kind a crop grower has put into his fields. Even gardens show what kind of soil they are made of. The vegetables they produce are more nutritious if they have been grown on fertile soil. Many times having fertile soil depends on how much fertilizer and lime are applied. And now that some fields are lying ready for new planting, this is the time to take soil samples to see how much and what kind of fertilizer the soil needs, the county extension office states. Not only does adding the right type of fertilizer result in better crops, but it stretches the fertilizer dollar, for soil content can be thrown out of balance by applying too much of a certain type of fertilizer. 10-10-10 Nitrogen, phosphate, and potash are the three main fertilizers listed in the "fertilizer recommendation pointers” sheet prepard by Purdue university agronomists. These three come in the combinations labeled such as 5-20-20 6-24-24, 3-12-12, or 3-9-18, etc. The labels tell the guaranteed analysis of nitrogen. phosphoric acid, and potash. oFr instance, a 100 pound bag of 3-9-18 contains three pounds of nitrogen, nine pounds of phosphoric acid, and 18 pounds of potash. Over-Liming Causes Deficiency However, fertilizer is not the whole story of high yields, the agronomists go on to say. Enough lime, rainfall, drainage, tilth, weed and insect control, variety of seed and population are also important. But even lime needs should be measured through a soil testing program, so the soil is not too sweet or sour—or, as the analysis

CHAPTER 25 {DROVE around the .block twice sizing up the place. _ It was dark and I couldn’t tell too much about it, but there . was a light on in a front room, and the place seemed quiet and lettled. Certainly there were no evidences of excited activity. It was steeped in respectability with heavy vines growing all over the front porch. The place fairly radiated quiet dignity. 1 parked the agency car, walked up the stepa and before I rang the bell I took the jade Idol I had with me and hid it in the deep shadows of the vine. I didn’t feel it would be a good idea to take that idol tn there with me. If the guy was teamed up with Sylvia Hadley and she had stolen that Idol for him, it was a cinch he’d know all about me and all about the idol by this time. I pulled the vine over the idol and rang the bell. The man who came to the door was even shorter than 1 was. He was somewhere around fifty and there was an air of apology about him. “I’m looking for Mortimer Jasper,” I said. “I am Mortimer Jasper,” the man said, his watery blue eyes looking me over with mild curiosity. “My name’s Lam,” I told him. “Donald Lam. I’m a private detective. Can I talk with you?” “I don’t see why not, Mr. Lam. Would you like to come in?” I followed him into the house. We went through a small reception hall and into the front room where I had seen the light glowing in the window. t The room was fixed up as a combination study, den and workshop. There was a big desk, a little jeweler's bench with some tiny jeweler’s lathes, a big safe with a double combination, a binocular microscope, some books, a big, heavy swivel chair back of the desk and two old-fashioned leather-bottomed chairs on the other side of the desk. “Sit down," he told me in a quiet, gentle voice. “Tell me what I can do for you. Mr. Lam." “I'm on rather a delicate mission." “Perhaps you can tell me?" I kept watching him. trying to find the best angle of approach. “Do you know a model named Sylvia Hadley?” I asked. He picked up a pencil and started doodling on a pad of paper. He waited several seconds before he looked up and asked, “Doe* it make a difference?**

says, confining the right pH value, as the pH scale indicates the acidity of the soil. Overliming makes the soil too alkaline, and may cause a manganese deficiency. These manganese deficiencies occur on soybeans and small grains on’black sandy soils n northern Indiana and on lake-bed soils of northeastern Indiana.

The county agent’s office has leaflets from Purdue with the instructions for reading the soil testing results and deciding how much of what to add before the new crop is planted, and how much to put on when the crop is growing, as in top-dressing or broadcast applications. Hast Testing Kit The recommendations Purdue makes for fertilizer application are based on two things: First, the land should be capable of an. average production of 80 bushels of corn, 30 bushels of soybeans, 35 bushels of wheat or three tons of hay when well fertilized. Second, Purdue will recommend the amount of fertilizer that will give the most profit on the immediate crop. How to go about testing the soil? The county agent's office has the waxed boxes that the samples must be put in to be shipped to Purdue University for chemical tests. To take the sample, a sampling tube, auger or spade, and a clean pail are necessary, in addition to the boxes from the county office. The field should be divided into uniform areas not larger than 10 acres. Each area should have the same soil color apd texture and the same past croping, fertilizing and liming treatments. Sample each area separately. Get equalsized cores or slices from at least 15 places, using a probe, aujger or spade. Do not mix light fend dark soils together.

"It may make quite a difference." “Perhaps you’d like to talk?" I said, “I’m a professional, Mr. Jasper." “A professional?" "A detective." “You told me.” “I get money for the work I do.” “Shouldn’t you?” that I think may make a difference.” "Tell me then." “You knew that Dean Crockett was dead?” ”1 read the papers.” “Dean Crockett had two very valuable carved jade Buddhas." “Interesting,” he said, still doodling. “The night before Crockett was murdered one of these jade Mols was stolen. Three weeks before his death, another one had been stolen. Mr. Crockett considered them absolutely priceless." The watery eyes looked up from the pad on which Jasper was doodling. “I know who took the idols,” I said. “Do you indeed?" “Within a short time the police will know." “Go on.” “Sylvia Hadley,” I said, “is an opportunist. She is a young woman who gets around. She is beautiful. She Is clever. She is talented. But she has had very little experience with the police. “When the police Interrogate her. she will break down and tell them that from time to time she has, tn addition to other things, stolen small but very choice articles of jewelry." I said nothing and Jasper said nothing. The pencil kept doodling along on the pad. "She will mention your name," I said at length. “She has no reason to,” he said, without looking up. “The police," I said, "will make an investigation. They are probably securing a search warrant right now. They will come here. There is not much time. Can I be of help to you ?’* “In what way?" “I represent the estate of Dean Crockett. I am working for his widow, Phyllis. I have been charged with recovering the stolen idol. There is a reward. If you facilitated the recovery of the stolen Idol, you would receive three thousand dollars reward from the insurance company. “The insurance company would, of course, want to be certain that it was not dealing with the thief or with any representative of the

plow depth, six to eight inches, except in permanent' pasture, , where the depth is two to three inches. If a spade is used, dig out a V-shaped hole, then remove a ■ slice from the side. These cores or slices should be • put in a clean pail and mixed together thoroughly. If the soil is muddy, it should be dried before mixing. If the soil crumbles easily, dry it after mixing. The mixture should be spread out on a clean paper to dry—but not in oven or on a stove, and not in brooder houses or places where fertilizer or manure may get in the, sample. The waxed boxes are filled with the air-dry mixture, and are labeled and numbered. An alternate method for probe sampling is also on the instruction sheet for the Purdue soil testing laboratory. The lab warns about four places to stay away from: farm lanes and field borders; fertilizer bands in row crops and small grains; areas within eight to ten rods of gravel roads; and any other areas which are distinctly different, such as potholes, sandy ridges, and eroded spots. ’ Take a separate sample on that area if interested, the instructions recommend. Important For Nitrogen Along with the soil samples, Purdue asks for a field record sheet, which may also be obtained at the county extension office. This part is especially important, the agronomists warn, because nitrogen recommendations depend on past cropping history as well as on soil properties. This is essential because no chemical test is made for nitrogen, the specialists point out. On it, the landowner records how many acres the sample represents, the land form, what kind of and amount of erosion, what kind of subsoil drainage there is, and what position, the ground is in, whether upland, bench land, or river bottom. What kind of fertilizers have 5 been applied in the last two years is also listed, along with what kind of crops were grown during the last two years, and what sort of crops are planned for the rotation schedule in the future.

thief before they would pay the reward. That is where I fit into the picture. “I could state that you had called me before the police had any lead to Sylvia Hadley. I could state that you told me you had this article of jewelry; that you had purchased It from a young woman who had said that it had been in net family for some years, having descended through her grandfather who was an old China trader; that it wasn’t until you read of Dean Crockett’s death and a description of the missing idol that you realized perhaps you had the mate to that idol and, • therefore, you called me. “That would take you off the hook as far as receiving stolen property Is concerned, and you would get a three-thousand-dol-lar reward from the Insurance company—perhaps more." “And what do you want in return ?” This was where I had to make it good. If I made it too cheap, he’d get suspicious; if I made it too steep, he’d throw me out. I waited until the watery eyes looked up into mine. “One thousand dollars,” 1 said. “Cash.” “And if I shouldn’t have one thousand dollars —cash?" “I think you do have.” “Pardon me,” he said. “The telephone." He got up and walked past me out of the room, down the hall. I heard him pick up a telephone and say, “Hello, hello . . . yes." Then a door closed and 1° could hear only the rumble of his voice without making out anything that was said. Evidently there were two phones in the house; one in the office and one which was on a separate line which rang in the back of the house. I sat there for a while, thinking. 1 My ears are good, but I hadn’t heard any telephone ring. How did I know there were two separate lines? 1 jumped up, moved over to the desk and picked up the telephone gently. * I was tn time to hear Jasper’s voice saying, "You take care of it, then," and the line clicked. I dropped the telephone as though it had been hot and was back in my chair smoking a «to- a arette by the time Jasper came padding in through the door, Donald Lam to going to have to try to think with the •csmous cold circle of ■ gun to mback of bis neck.

One final type of information the specialists need to make their recommendations is what method or methods the crop grower has to apply fertilizer with. Sent in to Purdue University’s agronomy department soil testing laboratory, the soil will be chemically analyzed, and the crop record eaxmined. In return, the grower will get the picture of what shape hfe soil is in now, and what he can do to make it better. The service charge for testing is 50 cents per sample for two or more samples, and single samples are a dollar. > COURT NEWS Real Estate Transfers Noah Hendricks To Walter C.
