Karal Counties In general, counties losing population bv migration were farthest removed from fairly Urge urban centers, but even areas surrounding South Bend. Richmond Columbus. Evansville and Terre Haute lost population by migration. Fifteen of the 18 counties showing an actual decline in population lie southwest of a line from Benton to Crawford counties In contrast. the Lake. Porter. LaPorte county area gained 163.000 in total population, almost 72.000 of which ( came from migration. Answering the question. "What does this shift mean?" McDermott and Kohlmeyer assert: Good Or Bad? "Is this population shifting good or bad? That depends on the point of view. Those who have moved apparently feel opportunities are better in the area to which they moved. But because they ‘had’ to move to avail themselves of better opportunities, a certain lack of opportunity exisits in the areas losing population. Just how great this lack has to be to induce migration is not known, but some differential does exist. If the difference

OF THIS AND THAT By Leia M. Folk. Home Demeaalratton Agent "Button up your overcoat" Is a popular saying on these cold winter mornings We can tell that winter has finaly settled down to l tot us know its here when the thermometer drops near aero, when I small children wear an extra i scarf to cover their nose and ! mouth as they trot to school, and | when cars grind and groan as l you start them. During this weather we all take J extra precautions to make sure ' our cars will start with heat lamps, canvas covers, or running them in the shed AU this we do to prevent dragging out the tractor or calling the garage because the old car won’t start. What do we do about breakfast on these cold mornings? We just continue to skip it pr perhaps to grab some orange juice as we run out the door In winter when illness and colds are more prevalent, we need more than ever to make sure we get an adequate, well-balanced breakfast. Does your breakfast pass the perfect breakfast test? Include one or more of the foUowing: a. Fruit or fruit juice. b. Cereal, waffles, pancakes, bacon, and eggs. c. Bread, toast, coffee cake, or rolls. d. Milk, hot chocolate, cocoa. Remember . breakfast should supply at least one-fourth of your daily food intake. Does With so many ready-to-eat foods on the market, the excuse of. 'I don't have time to eat. really means, "I won’t take time to eat. Let's give a good breakfast a try to see if we don't have more energy, less snacking, better temperment, more alertness, and perhaps even less doctor bills. Speaking of food, what are the best scents that come from your kitchen? I enjoy the freshness of lemon rind and fresh juice. Comi bine this with the baking of homemade yeast bread and I am sure aU of your family will come on the run. Anyway my family enjoys it. and I believe this recipe from a friend of mine in Muncie is one of the best: Lemon Yeast Bread (Hefeteig) 2 cups milk 2 pkg. dry yeast % cup warm water 1 cup butter or margarine % cup sugar 2 teaspoon’s' salt 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel 9-10 cups sifted flour 4 eggs, well beaten Soften the yeast in the warm water and set aside. Scald the milk gently in a sauce pan, bu do not boil. Place hot milk, but ter, sugar, salt, and lemon peel in bowl. Stir to dissolve. Add 4 cups sifted flour gradually, mixing with the mixer. Beet eggs and add to mixture. Add softened yeast. Add remaining flour. Placf dough in a greased bowl and le raise until light. Punch down and let the dough raise again.

More detailed information is needed tor the federal tax report To assist them, farmers may obtain a copy of the 1960 edition of the Farmer's Tax Guide from' county agricultural extension| agents. Generally. 1959 farm records; should include the amounts of sales of livestock raised, crops and livestock products, miscellaneous farm income, and sales purchased livestock and other purchased items. Include All Expense Deductible farm business expenses must be itemized according to the classification on the report form. The economists emphasize the importance of Including all expenses for small items, such as nails, bolts, screws and repair items. Depreciation schedules for all depreciable farm property should be included in the records. The amount of cash wages to each agricultural employee during 1959 is needed to prepare Social Security forms for hired labor. Farmers must pay self-employ-ment 'Social Security) if their ndt earnings for the year were S4OO or more. J Milk Contamination Now Being WASHINGTON (UPI) — Government scientists said today that the danger of milk contamination by insect killers such aS DDT is being reduced. Their statement followed publication of a 1958 government survey showing that some milk in 11 cities across the nation was tainted with substantial amounts of pesticides containing chlorine. A spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration <FDA) said there was no evidence the insect , killers cause cancer in humans. But he said the milk contamination was a problem “worth working on.” Credit 'Two Developments The scientists credited two developments with cutting down the •isk of milk being contaminated by use of the pesticides on cattle feeds and in storage barns They said the FDA has warned the dairy industry it would crack down on any sales of impure milk 1 n interstate commerce and an • educational drive among dairynen also has been effective. I The FDA report Monday said I nilk samplings conducted in 1958, . >howed a definite redaction over : the previous three years in the ! ncidence of milk tainted with the nsect killers.

Swine Feeding Drastically Changed Over 50 Yeers

Fifty years of progress Ln swine feeding nutrition are dramatically demonstrated in a trial conducted by Purdue University animal scientists Major concern of swine raisers in IW9 was what to feed In addition to corn for best results Wood ashes salt, tankage, wheat mid* dlings and linseed oil meal were fed with com. Little was known about a pig’s requirement for protein (amino acids), minerals, trace minerals or vitamins. Antibiotics bad not been discovered and introduction of feed additives such as arsanilic add had not been investigated. Until about 1940 soybean oil meal was not available in large quantities. Thirty-two weanling pigs, averaging 44 pounds initially, were used in the 1909 vs. 1959 ration feeding trial. They had been raised on concrete and were confined to concrete for the duration of the experiment. Here is what the Purdue animal: scientists found: Fastest and most efficient gains, were obtained by feeding that 1959 mied ration of corn and soybeanmeal adequately fortified. , Most economical gains were pre-: ducd by the 1959 free choice ration ■ of shelled corn and Purdue Supplement 2. Slowest, most inefficient and

Higher Pork Prices Foreseen Next Year WASHINGTON (UPD—Grocery shoppers may have to pay more for pork products in late summer and fall next year because of an expected drop in 1960 spring pig production. The Agriculture Department estimated Tuesday that the spring pig crop would be 11 per .cent smaller than in 1959. This indicated that hog prices during the 1960 election year might be considerably above the $12.20 per cwt. in mid-November of this year. The higher pork prices were bad newsfpr consumers but good news for the Republicans. They had feared a possible voters revolt against GOP candidates in the hog and corn-producing midwest. Ottie marketing expert predicted hogs would sell for sl4-914.20 per t cwt. next fall if estimates hold true- The cutback in pig production also could increase the government’s corn surplus. The size of the 1959 fall crop, which will be going to market through early summer, indicated that supplies will remain plentiful and prices stable for that period. However, supplies in late summer and fall of 1960 may be smaller than this year, the department said. This would send wholesale and retail prices up. ' The Agriculture Department’s Crop Reporting Board said reports indicated that farmers plan to farrow 7,310,000 sows during the spring season—December, 1959 through May, 1960. This would be 12 per cent below 1959. With average litters this would produce about 52 million pigs, 11 pr cent below last spring. - — It’s against the law in Minnesota to carry a bottle of intoxicating or non-intoxicating malt liquor with its seal broken anywhere in the driver or passenger compartment of a car—including the glove compartment.

Prevent Bugs Now By Pruning Plants Reduce past damage in the garden and yard next spring by removing overwintering stages of insects and diseases during the winter. Purdue University extension plant pathologists suggest these practices which home gardeners dan do now to help control plant pests: Prune dead, diseased and excess branches from shade trees, fruit trees and shrubs. They may harbor overwintering stages of diseases or insects. Pruning dead or dying parts of plants now not only will elminate many of the overwintering stages, but it will also open up many plants so they can be sprayed more easily next spring. Remove prunings to .a safe distance and burn completely. To prevent heart rots from entering, dress wounds of shade trees with commercial wound paints. Pull up dead or discarded plants, such as ornamentals, and burn. Rake leaves and other debris and remove from the immediate area of ornamentals and shade trees. And remove or turn into the soil the remains of annual plants. 7’ Winter Nitrogen Raises Wheat Yield * Early top dressing of wheat Increases harvest time yield, says Howell Wheaton, Purdue University extension agronomist. Nitrogen applied in January and February will give greater returns than nitrogen applied in March and April, he points out. Nitrogen applied after Jan. 15 in southern Indiana and after Feb. 1 in northern Indiana will be available for use by wheat plants at a crucial time. On light colored soils 30 to 40 pounds of nitrogen per acre may be needed. Heavier dark colored soils may profitably use up to 25 pounds an acre. On many sandy soils where wheat follows corn 50 pounds or more an acre may be needed, Wheaton asserts.

Control Leaf Curl Through Fungicide Leaf curl, a common malady of ■ peaches seen during the growing ■ season, especially in home orch- • ards, can be controlled only by the use of a fungicide while the trees i are dormant, according to Cornell » plant disease specialists at the J Experiment Station in Geneva, t N.Y. This means spraying the trees in late fall after the leaves drop or in late winter or very early spring I before the buds begin to open, to ‘ prevent infection of the new leaves, explain the scientists. Infection Common “The organism that causes leaf J curl is found wherever peaches are grown,” they continue. “In'l section occurs with rains at the ' time the bud scales separate in 1 , the spring and the tender leaves i begin to unfold. Diseased leaves ' are distorted, reddish in color, ’l and paler than normal leaves so that trees infected with leaf curl stand out conspicuously. The . leaves eventually turn brown, with- ' er. and drop off. Heavy loss of foliage weakens the tree by reI during production of food reserves. It is too late to do anything about control after leaf curl appears in the orchard. - Chemical Checks One application of a spray containing Fermate, bordeaux mixture, liquid lime sulphur, or one of the dinitro compounds, such as Elgetol or dry-mix DN 2, will • check leaf curl, according to the 1 plant disease specialists. Sprays • should be used in dilute form and i applied thoroughly to wet all 1 branches and buds well. . Home owners with only a few 1 trees will find Fermate expecially , ■ convenient, ’ they advise, because ' I it is available at garden stores and elsewhere in small packages, ’ is easy to mix and apply, and any ’ material left over can be stored . without deteriorating.
