For Future Generotions Amid the talk and bustle about unemployment, the UJi.,<ayil rights, and the Congo, a report from President Kennedy concerning natural resources that was given to Congress recently has been partially ignored. It is a report that is important to all Americans, and will become increasingly important in years to come as the population increase continues to eat into available recreational lands. One of the features of the message was a recommendation for two new national parks on the oceans. At present, while most of the mountainous and forested areas of the country are pretty well sprinkled with national parks, Acadia National Park, on an island just off the coast of Maine is the only area on either ocean coast or the Gulf set aside as a national park. Another highlight was the continued interest in preserving the wilderness areas in the United States. These areas, which don’t receive the use that the national parks, do, are huge spots, mostly in the rough mountainous areas of the west, that are still preserved in their natural state. The only inroads of civilization are a few dirt paths, and some rough campgrounds. In a day when just about everything is being commercialized, it is nice to know there are a few places where the laws of nature are still in complete control — places where a person, if they are willing to forego all but the most basic necessities, can still get away from it all. Many other important subjects were included in the message: reports on the federal rangeland; suggestions for off-shore development of the coast line; and considerable recommendations on riversheds. The only thing missing was the recommendation for a Department of Natural Resources, at a cabinet level. It should be considered soon, or it will be too late. Editorial Writer Today John G. Heller

Percentage Os Farmers Leasing _ . .. x o Extra Land Is Up 40 Per Cent

- LAFAYETTE, Ind.—An increasing number of Indiana fanners who own land are renting additional acres to enlarge their operations, points out Paul R. Robbins, Purdue University agricultural economist. This trend is particularly marked in the better land areas of southern Indiana. Analysis of farm leasing trends over a 40-year period shows that farms operated by part owners (those who rent additional land) have nearly doubled. The percent of farms operated by full owners (those who rent no other land) increased slightly, while the farms operated by full tenants (those who own no land) decreased sharply. Robbins reports that the highest rate of tenancy is and has been for a long time in the better land areas of toe state—specifically the cash grain areas. For instance, almost 75 percent tff the farmers in Benton county rent all or part of the land they farm. In Newton county the number exceeds 60 percent. ‘ Counties in which at least half the farmers rent all or part of the units they operate include ' Carroll, Clinton, Fountain, Howard, Jasper, Knox, Posey, Rush, Shelby, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Union, Warren and White. The lowest rate of tenancy 1 exists in south central and southeastern Indiana where land values are lower and where most of the land is not well suited for inten- 1 sive grain farming. More than 80 percent of the farms in Crawford, Floyd and Monroe counties are operated by full owners. Only 2.5 ; percent of the farmers in Crawford county rent all of the land they farm, according to Robbins. Counties in which at least 75 ' percent of the operators are full 1 owners are Brown, Clark, Dear- ■ born, Dubois, Harrison, Lawrence and Orange. Robbins says a close correlation exists between land values for agricultural purposes, and percent 1 of land that is rented. In the five Indiana counties with the highest percent of farmers renting land the average land value per acre was $3Ol last year. In the five Indiana counties with the lowest percent of farmers renting land the average land value per acre was only $144. The economist reports that in nine counties —all in southern and mostly southwestern Indiana — 30 percent or more of the farm operators were classed as part owners. Tliese were Clay, Gibson, Jackson, Knox, Pike, Posey, Sullivan. Vanderburgh and Vigo. Two new or completely revised lease forms are available free to Indiana residents. They are Mimeo EC 207, “Indiana Livestock Share Lease,” and Mimeo EC 210. “Indiana Cr°P Share Lease,” both prepared by Purdue’s agricultural extension service. They may be obtained by writing the Agricultural Publications Office, AES Building, Purdue University, Lafayette, or from county extension offices. 0 , 9 • Ohio Mon Faints; Hits Cars in Wren * J A Wren, 0., accident at 4:40 p.m. Wednesday resulted in minor injuries to an Ohio City man.

The Adams County U.S.D.A. Emergency Planning Committee attended a district training seesion last Monday in Columbia City. Members of this committee are Mrs. Mary Howard, A.3.C. office manager; Milton Spence, C. C.S. Work Unit Conservationist; Donald Norquest, F.H.A. Supervise or and myself. A tremendous program has been developed in emergency planning. Deadline On Wool Sales Is March 31 Wool and lamb producers must complete all details of marketing not later than March 31 in order for the sale to qualify for payment under the 1960 wool program, Mary J. Howard, office manager, of the Adams County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation office pointed out today. Later marketings of wool and lambs would be eligible for payments under the 1961 program. The office manager explained that, under program regulations, wool which is “marketed” means that title has passed to the buyer, the wool has been delivered to the buyer either physically or through documents which transfer control to the buyer, and the list of the factors needed to determine the total purpase price payable by the buyer (price per pound, weight, yield, etc.) is available. Thus, wool will not be considered as "marketed” and so eligible for 1960 program payments unless all details of the sales are settled and all the information needed on the sales documents — including the net sales proceeds—is completed by March 31. Payments under the 1960 program will be made this summer when the payment rates can be determined, based on the average prices received by producers for shorn wool during the 1960 marketing year. The 1960 wool program year runs from April 1, 1960 through March 31, 1961. Producers have 30 days after the close of the marketing year—that is until April 30, 1961, under the 1960 wool program—in which to file application for wool and lamb payments with the county ASC office. 0 : O 20 Years Ago Today o o March 4, 1941—Employes of the Central Soya Co. and McMillen Feed Mills are out on strike after negotiations failed to bring a settlement or disputes. Dates for the annual Decatur free -street fair and agricultural stfbw have been set for July 28 to Aug. 2. The Adams county commissioners awarded the contract for 40 tons of coal for the county jail to the Fryback Coal Co. on its low bid of $5.60 per ton. Ninety-seven members of the civics classes of the Decatur high school attended the state legislature session at Indianapolis. The county commissioners have filed three suits to appropriate land for improving of county road 116 from Geneva east.

Os This And That It’s time to begin cultivating champions, since this begins the 4H season. Yes, it’s really time to “«e< your stakes high.” Oh, I don’t mean for blue ribbons and honor awards, but for champion 4-H boys and girls. Anyhow aren’t they more important than top pigs, cows, cakes, and dresses? In 4-H this year we want boys and girls who are interested in learning as many new skills as possible and in learning to get along with others. After all isn’t thia what keeps us adults growing and abreast with the times? Also we are interested in 4-H’ers who are interested in living. We want boys and girls who will learn more appreciation for the beauty of nature, as well aa more appreciation for all people. This gaining of understanding and appreciation is part ot being a successful champion. Along with learning and living, we need to serve. Can we serve without being paid? Are we willing to work when others around us are having a good time? It ( is a hard task to work toward being a champion, but I know several 4-H boys and girls who are willing. This year they are work- j ing toward this new slogan, “To learn, live, and serve through 4-H.” 4-H Leaders School Several Adams County 4-H Lead- ; ers are planning to attend the : Training Conference in Wells < County, Lancaster school on Tues- . day. The group will be planning , for more interesting meetings, ■ and discussing club organization. ( New information on projects will < be discussed, and a craft workshop will be held. This meeting will be held for all adult leaders from Adams, Allen, and Wells counties, and it is sponsored by the Rotary Clubs. H. D. Craft School - The date to remember and to plan for is March 13, Be sure to set aside this day so that you can attend the county craft school. Mrs. A. R. Fenner and Mrs. 'nilman Steiner will be teaching the art of buck toweling weaving. Also Mrs. Ralph Folk will discuss and demonstrate several party favors and table decorations. Do plan to be with us at 1:30 p. m. in the Farm Bureau basement in Monroe. The meeting is open to anyone who would like to attend. Time Each of us is alloted a certain span of time. We don't know how long; we only know that our time is limited. Each of us only have 24 hours and this is equal for all. We can’t find time, spend time, or save time; we can only use it. Since we do not have time to do all the things we want to, we must sort out or pick and choose the important jobs. The rest must wait for another time. If you thought of time as money, would you value it any differently? For example, if you were given $24.00 each morning instead of 24 hours would you feel any different about keeping record of how it is spent, or would

you spend it any differently? If we break our endless tasks into “bite size” pieces, and then work at being productive for even a short period of time, we will accomplish more. Ulis will give us confidence and work will begin to get done. Also remember if you cannot get done, tell yourself, “there’s always tomorrow^— It helps too when you list jobs into groups under the headings of “gotta, oughta, and hope to.” If you don’t assign jobs a priority in some way, you’ll be tired before you are halfway through your list. Some other helps for using time wisely are: be sure to include some jobs that give special satisfaction. Also don’t put off the jobs that must be done, because you suffer through these jobs mentally over and over again until they are deme. Hie dread of a task is more tiring than the work itself. You know that if you let the ironing pile up a bit the job only grows and looks bigger than ever; this same principle holds true for any job you dread doing. If any untidy house puts you in a strain, learn some “sneaky tricks” for making it look tidy and you look efficient. Do these jobs that give a home a picked up look first: make the beds, pick up the clutter and put everything away, and do the dishes. Develop the art of ■ skimming as you do in reading. |

SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1961

Pick up the ‘stuff’ off the sofa before dusting under it if you are apt to run short of time. Also have a discard day. Don’t crowd too much into one day. Allow enough time for delays and interruptions. Be flexible and don’t be chased by the clock. Try to alternate a hard task with an easy one; a sitting job with a standing one. Also it helps to rest a few minutes out of every hour or rest a bit after each job is accomplished. This keeps up going* all day as our energy lasts longer. Also, if*we practice this we are less likely to be cranky with our family at the end of the day. Always remember you are the manager of your time. Don’t let it run you—you must run it. Watch the next Os This and That for more on time. It’s March! Since March came in like a lamb it is time to plan some of this delicious meat in your family meals. When buying lamb look for pink, firm. fine-grained, smooth flesh. Hie fat should be clear, white and brittle. Hie bones should be small, porous, and dark red in color. When cooking lamb remember to cook according to cut. All lamb cuts are tender so wou may cook with dry heat. Use a low temperature to cook Jamb and don’t overcook. Happy -lamb eating.
