In 1956 Purdue University began experiments with grain sorghum, a native of tropical Africa used mainly in the dry areas of the plains states where other feed grains wouldn't survive. Some remarkable things have been discovered. First, instead of 30 or 40 bushels to the acre, as on the dry plains areas, the new hybrids produced from 150 to 246 bushels to the acre. Second, they were found especially valuable for river bottom planting, where the plants survived and flourished in conditions that would kill corn or soy beans. In fact, the crops grew normally after being submerged 10 days or more. Corn, either as seed or plants, will not grow after three days under water. And third, adding nitrogen to sorghum not only increases the yield, but hastens maturity. Most grains find their maturity prolonged rather than hastened by adding nitrogen. Sorghum may be planted in 7-inch rows, with populations running as high as 360,000 plants to the acre. Corn population is considered high at 22,000 plants to the acre. What does this mean to the farmer? Sorghum sells about 22% under corn, but produces feed value at 95% corn’s rate for hogs and fattening cattle, and 100 percent for dairy cattle, poultry and lambs. A cheaper, more productive grain may be raised or bought by the farmer as feed in the near future.

No articles will be | j published without signature of j | the author. o “The Good Old Days” Editor Daily Democrat: Dear Sir: — Since I am of the old, and have; carefully watched the transition \ period from the good old days to our modern time, I have discover-j ed that an educated mind does, not reach its maturity until it is tempered in experience. Therefore, trying to prove anything by statistics alone reflects; on the lack of experience of the! individual and leaves his argument wide open for discussion. Now as we direct our attention to the editor of the editorial column in the issue of the Daily Democrat, Dec.19,'59, proves that he lacks the experimental knowledge to present facts in their true relation to existing conditions. Because is is an acknowledged fact that the good old days carried with them a great many hardships, sacrifices and a real struggle for an earthly existence, but the compensation for meeting and * solving . these-problems. was far greater than what we know ! today under the short work week. I because of the peace of mind, and satisfaction of looking to the future with confidence, that the stability of our government was based on the sound judgment of | men, who were well versed in the; fact, that you can not keep spend-' ing more and more than the income without running into ser- ■ ious trouble. Today we have not only squand-' ered what the sturdy pioneer left! us, but we have also accumulated a hopeless debt for future generations to pay and yet we have not solved one problem either nationally or internationally, our only solution for economic stress, has been war and debts, both are unsound and a violation of the principle of thrift which the pioneers knew and practiced so well. Today one half of our population is i sick and it is predicted by leading authorities that within a period of twenty years, one child out of every ten will be in a mental instituiton. And because we are worshipping speed without direction. last year in order to induce an artificial sleep our nation gulpled down seven million dollars , worth of sleeping pills In a restful and peaceful state of mind the pioneers know where they were going and they knew how to get ! there. If a pioneer tarried too long at the cup that cheers, he crawled into his buggy and his faithful old horse took hirp safely home, but; today when a man gets a snoot full of John Barley Corn, he gets into a car, goes down the road ■ at a break neck speed and kills !an innocent family. Killing forty; thousand on our highways each! year added to a casualty List of one million, does not 1 ok too well for the record of the ’ modern times, as we are spending four; times more for alcoholic bever-1 ages than what we are spending' for both religions and education. ; To miscalculate the true meaning of these statements, while in comparison with the computation of statistical figures, leads one to wonder how far out these young educated minds have wandered off of the right road. Now let’s look at the comparison of a family income of $651 a; year to a family income' of $5,610,1

COURT NEWS Estate Case The Iva Brodbeck estate was opened with an SB,OOO bond also i being filed. A petition for probate cf will and issuance of letters filed and approved. yes indeed the comparison of these figures looks like a wonderful improvement, but when you dig down into real facts the conditions that made this increase possible are not only sickening but heart breaking. It cost the broken hearted mothers of our nation, their sons and daughters, who were shipped to foreign battle fields to become cannon fodder, from the belching fire of ; modern weapons of war. It cost cJUr stable dollar backed up by a gold standard, in exchange for a forty eight cent dollar, which could be facing a bankrupt future. It cost every property owner a I government lien against every ! piece of property equal to the assessed valuation. , It cost an inflation spiral which is, eating away the foundation of ; our economic system. It cost a let down of our morals and a break down of home life, i and we have become the lawless nation in the world. It cost a crime wave that is increasing by leaps and bounds, and yet' we have foolish minds who try to make us believe that modern times sire better than the good old days. Robert K. Sovine.

Social Security Tax To Increase FridayJ

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Starting Friday, Uncle Sam will take more from your pay check for social security taxes. The 20 per cent hike, which will be felt by virtually every worker and employer in the nation, is designed to bring the government an additional two billion dollars a year in revenue. It will be the fourth increase in social security taxes in the last six years. The present law calls for three more increases spread over the next nine year. Higher taxes are needed to cover the swelling costs of the program, which now provides monthly benefit checks to 13,400,000 persons. Employers Also Affected Beginning Friday, wagg <tpnd salaried employes will pay social security taxes amoung td 3 per cent of the $4,800 in annual earnings. That compares with 2.5 per cent this year. So if you make $4,800 or more, your tax next year will total sl44—an increase of $24 over this year, and $49.50 more than the tax was in 1958. Employers will be affected, too, since they must match the contribution of each employe to the system. Self-employed persons won’t be hit until they file their tax returns in April, 1961. They will pay 4*4 per cent of their first $4,800 in 1960 earnings, compared with 3% this year. Their maximum tax will climb from SIBO this year to $216. Congress May Act The program covers all workers except federal employes who have their own retirement systems, some state and local government workers, self - employed doctors, and irregularly employed domestic help and farm hands. Bv 1969. under the present schedule, the tax rate will be 414 per cent of the first $4,800 in annual earnings to be paid by employes and employers, and 6% per cent on the self-employed. There’s a good chance that Congress will act in the meantime to step up the tax rate however. Indications are the lawmakers wil do something to liberalize the program next year, just as they have'in each of the past five election years—boosting the tax schedule to meet the added cost. o— —7 ? I Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE I o ■ — 0 Q. When a girl has been invited to several different bridal showers for the same bride-elect, is it necessary that she bring a gift to each one? A. Yes—if she attends each shower. However, she needn’t attend all four or five showers if she feels that she cannot afford the expense of four or five gifts. Q. Will you please suggest a message of condolence one might send by telegram? A. “Deeply saddened by your loss. All sympathy and love. John.” Q. My fiance and I disagree in the matter of wedding invitations. He claims we should not mail invitations to those we are unable to attend, that this would be just a bid for presents. What do you think? A. Wedding invitations are not in any sense a “demand” for gifts, and failure to include certain good friends in your list could very well hurt some feelings. Q. If older women begin calling a young man by his first name, is he then permitted to begin addressing them by their first names? A. Not usually. Continue calling them by their last names, until they specifically ask you to use their first names. Q. One of my girl friends is provoked because I left a place of appointment after waiting for her a half-hour. Don’t you think I was justified in leaving? A. In my opinion, you waited long enough.

Deal Reported In Making For Federal Judge By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI >-One' of the biggest judicial horse trades in Indiana history is possible with respect to the seat of missing Judge W. Lynn Parkinson of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. / Reports are circulating that Republican Sen. Homer E. Capehart and Democratic Sen. Vance Hartke may make a deal as soon as Congress officially declares that the bench of Judge Parkinson is vacant. The arrangement may involve the elevation of either Democratic federal judges Luther M. Swygert of Hammond or William E. StecAr ler of Indianapolis to the Chicago* court, the one elevated to be replaced by a Republican. Senate Would Delay President Eisenhower normally would name a Republican to succeed Parkinson. But the Democratic U.S. Senate is unlikely to confirm a GOP successor, at least until after the 1960 election. This would lead to an impasse whicir would withhold from both senators one of the juiciest bits of patronage they will have. The salary of the federal circuit judge is $22,500 and that of the federal appeal judge $25,500 a year, both with full pay after retirement. Parkinson’s home is Lafayette and as a result, Indiana is entitled to fill his seat, although Illinois • and Wisconsin are included in the Chicago court’s dis trict. There is no precedent foi choosing a successor to a missing federal judge, so it will be necessary for the next session of Congress to enact legislation officially declaring the seat vacant. Disappeared Oct. 26 Parkinson disappeared late the afternoon of Oct. 26 after leaving his office in Chicago. He was seen in a dazed condition, lost his glasses but declined efforts to assist him. Then he wandered in the direction of Lake Michigan near the Drake Hotel. By the time his case is considered by Congress, Parkinson Will have been missing about three months, assuming he is still missing then. No member of his family has heard from him. Authorities have dragged Lake Michigan in vain. If the bipartisan deal matures. Capehart is likely to recommend the appointment of an anti-State house Republican to succeed Parkinson's successor, according to reports. The ndme of Marion Circuit Judge John L. Niblack, Indianapolis, a native of Wheatland, has been mentioned. He is a former Indianapolis newspaper reporter, served in the State Senate and was an Indianapolis municipal judge. He was a candidate for the GOP senatorial nomination against Governor Handley but withdrew after charging that the full force of Statehouse patronage and the Republican state organization was being utilized in favor of the governor. Ounce of Prevention Paint the metal parts of your man’s ready-tied bow ties with clear fingernail polish to prevent their rusting on his shirts. Four coats of the polish should be used, being sure to allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next.

Services Sunday On Mission Program Sunday will be a day of commitment services in three local Evangelical United Brethren churches to begin the four-year mission advance program. More than 4,000 churches of the Evangelical United Brethren church will hold the day of commitment services as the world-wide MAP program begins. The financial goal of the drive is $5,150,000, to be used to build new churches in the United States and Canada, and to expand the church’s ministry overseas. Persons in the local churches will be aSA ( to dedicate themselves to helping the program by signing commitment cards at Sunday’s services. Financial aid will go to the MAP through the individual church’s contribution to the “vision for victory” fund. Members' commitments may be renewed each month. “MAP is more than money,” M-1 AP executive director Bishop Harold R. Heininger comments, explaining, “It is a call to prayer. It is a call to study the present world situation in the face of Christ s power to meet our basic needs. It is a call to build hun-drefte-of new in tht? United States and Clbsjda and to strengthen the missionary advance of the cmurch overseas.” \ „ Local EUB churches which will take part in the program Sunday are Bethany, the Rev. B.G. Thomas, pastor, 10 a.m. services; ®nion Chapel, the Rev. Emmett. , son, pastor. 10:30 a.m.; and Trfpity, the Rev. J.O. Penrod, pastor, 10 a m. The MAP follows a four-year united crusade for colleges, seminaries, and church extension. Dr. Dawley H. Stine, general church treasurer, reported that this -rusade had achieved 93 per cent of its $5,150,000 goal, or $4,795,137 up to November 30.
