The Chamber es Commerce The Decatur Chamber of Commerce has made some inquiries into the possibility of hiring another executive secretary after the retirement of Fred Kolter, which is a sound idea, if the chamber has the money. A local merchant has proposed another idea in lieu of a fullsalaried executive secretary that also has some merit. According to this plan, the chamber would retain their regular secretarial help. This secretary would do the paper work, and some of the leg-work. In place of a regular executive secretary would be an active board of directors representing every section of the business district. The plan is good, and at least deserves some consideration. The major drawback to it is the necessity of having a good, active board of directors, men who are willing to give up some of their time to get things rolling and keep them going. Another requirement, of course, would be full cooperation from the rest of the merchants. There is nothing wrong with a full-time executive secretary—most cities have one. But they do not work for free. If the secretary’s salary is to be large enough to keep a man interested bi Decatur, it takes that much more money to be raised: for the chamber—the various projects still have to.be paid for. There is enough business sense and enough ideas on Second street, Monroe street, and Thirteenth street to keep the retail division busy for'a long time. So why pay someone else for doing what we could do ourselves? All it really takes is cooperation.

milk production per cow per month, chart feed coat and chart income over feed cost These items could also be put into graph form. After this is done, the real value comes from analyizing to see why and if it might be more profitable to try to change some of the patterns or curves. It was agreed that Gregory should return for an analysis meeting of this type after Adams County hast had a full year’s testing on the EDPM program. Then comparisons between herds can be made. Gregory also pointed out that the daily income for an average Indiana cow was 58c while the average Adams county cow was 80.5 c per day. It takes about 50% of this to feed thq cow. Weed Control Difficult weed control in many areas of the soybelt in 1960 emphasizes the necessity of using every practical means to produce, harvest and market clean soybeans in 1961, according to George Strayer, executive secretary of the American Soybean Association. The elimination of corn plants before soybean harvest is important, as corn when harvested with soybeans makes the later undesirable or unsalable into export markets for food. Weed seeds are a major problem in marketing U. S. soybeans in world markets, and if this market is to be expanded, growers must stop marketing their crop mixed with foreign seeds. At the University of Illinois it was found that where there were no weeds in the row the yield of soybeans was 38.7 bushels per acre, as compared to 21.3 bushels where there was one weed in every inch of the row. Even one weed every 10 inches in the row reduced the yield to 30.7 bushels.

Certified Seed Directory Copies of the Indiana Certified Seed Directory which lists sources of com, oats, soybeans, and tomatoes for the 1961 planting are available at the County Extension Office. New Oats A new oat variety, Putnam 61, resistant to crown rust and stem rust, has been developed by Purdue University’s agricultural experiment station and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Seed of the variety, also moderately resistant to yellow dwarf disease, is being made available to certified seed growers this year. It will be available to farmers in 1962. Junior Com Growers Jamboree The annual junior com growers jamboree is Saturday at Purdue University. This is a meeting of four 4-H corn club members and an adult leader from each of the counties in Indiana. The program features entertainment by the Purdue Glee Club and Purdue VarsityBand and information on crop varieties and com production methods. Those attending are club members Gerald Bulmahn. Jerry Alberson, Gary Clouse, and Wilfred Morrison, club leader Robert Kershner, and myself. Swine Committee Meeting The swine cwnmittee met Thursday evening and developed plans fo(r their tour on March 17. The tour will cover several stops in Adams and Wells Counties, with lunch in Bluffton and afternoon program. Speakers will be Dick Hollandbeck and John Foley, Purdue specialists. Discussion will also cover SPF hogs. Committee officers— Ralph Bluhm, chairman; Paul Yoder, vice-chairman; Glen Griffiths, secretary.

M. record system that were’nt understood fully yet. He then pointed out that with our new records we have new tools with

Gregory also pointed out that the daily income for an average Indiana cow was 58c while the average Adams County cow has made 80.5 c per day. It takes about 50% of this to feed the cow. Adams county had, according to the 1959 census, about 8,500 milk cows or a drop of 21% in the last five years. However, the income from milk and cream raised 19% in that same five years to a total of s2’4 million income.

Horse and Pony Nearly 2,275 boys and girls enrolled in the 1960 4-H horse and pony project, reports Eric A. Holm, project leader in the state 4-H department at Purdue University. One of the fastest growing projects, members were enrolled in 68 counties. Some 1,200 members in 44 counties were enrolled in 1959, according to Holm.
