Water and Drain Tile The Ohio Farm Research Magazine for March-April gives some very interesting facts on drain tile. Adams county people are very much interested in drainage, because the blue-clay soil here drains very slowly. In fact, Adams county has more miles of ditch and tile than any other county in the state, regardless of size. Ohio researchers measured the amount of run-off collected by drain-tile at varying depths. We’re sure that every farmer has grumbled at the depths which ASC payments make necessary in this area — yet the Ohio research shows that this depth is very important. The main thing shown by the tests was that e drain tile must be at least three feet deep to gather in the surface water. At less depth, less surface area is drained, leaving pools of standing water, or oversoaked soil. » Another thing shown was that soil with a good rotation of crops holds its moisture better than those with a poor rotation. While it is desirable to drain away the surplus water, it is also good to keep a fair moisture level in the soil, for the roots of the growing plants. Tile spacing depends on soil type, varying from 50 to 80 feet. This, too, depends on the condition of the soil, and results are very interesting. For example, land in which corn is planted year after year begins to compact. This increases the run-off. Main tiles put in years ago when farm animals and crop rotation kept the soil in better condition are now overloaded by the rush of water from compacted soils. The Adams county soil and water conservation committee plans to stage a demonstration on this at the 4-H fair this year. It will show how various cropping practices effects the run-off, and therefore the size of tile necessary, the spacing, and the effect of the depth of tile. Presign tile design recommendations here, based on a 3ZB inch flow in 24 hours, appear to be adequate, based on the Ohio study. They found that this actually happened only about 1 day out of the season, or roughly U»of the time, on poorly rotated soils. Tile flow actually varies much more than rainfall, with March as the biggest month. Corn in poor rotation gave the highest tile flow; corn and second-year meadow in the good rotation gave the lowest flow, probably due to low initial soil moisture conditions. The flow from tile at 3-foot depths was greater than the flow from tile at two-foot depths, it drained a larger area. Flow from the 30-foot tile spacings was about 80% greater than from the 60-foot spacings. March through June was considered the critical test period, as this is the moisture period most likely to effect crops. About 40% of the flow during this fourmonth period took place in March. This was true, even though rainfall was greatest during July. But then low soil moisture, high evaporation, rapid plant growth absorbed much more water. These conditions are reversed in March. In other words, if you plan to raise just corn year after year, figure on putting in more tile than if you rotate your crops under one of the tested, plans. « Editorial Writer Today Dick D.

Reporter: Darlene Fawbush Marion County Deputy Sheriff Killed Sunday INDIANAPOLIS <UPD—A statewide search was underway today for an ex-convict, described by an ■ accomplice as a “madman,’l wanted for killing a Marion! County deputy sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Edward ...... G. : Byrne, 23, was shot to death Sunday morning while investigating a tavern burglary here. The young officer, who had been on patrol duty only 15 days, was shot seven times with a ,45-caliber automatic pistol. Police picked up Ralph E. Du;Bois and John W. Walker Jr;, both 34, a short time later and I said they confessed the burglary and named Michael Thomas Callahan, 36, as the man who shot the deputy. The shooting occurred about 24 > hours after the three men were 'released under $7,500 bond each on burglary charges. The charges ! were filed after they were . arJ rested in a car containing loot from a Muncie burglary. They were freed just before a federal officer arrived with a detainer for Callahan on a federal burglary charge. Callahan also faced charges of auto banditry, robbery nd being an habitual criminal. Dubois, who called Callahan a “madman,” and Walker said the shooting occurred while Byrne was questioning them at the tavern. They said when Byrne asked Callahan to move «o the officer could see the license plate of their I car, Callahan told him “forget it, you’re dead.” They said he walked to the officer’s car. pointed the pistol through the window and fired seven shots. The murder weapon was found near Byrne’s body but Dußois a Walker said Callahan had other guns and police said they believed he was armed with a sawed-off shotgun. Callahan was believed to have fled in a black car but police later indicated he may have abandoned the car and stolen a truck to make his getaway. The FBI was called into the ease because of the possibility that Callahan fled the state. The search for him was hampered by a snowstorm ' which .struck much of Indiana Sunday.

The first sergeant you had listed in the company was the grandfather of Carrie T. Haubold and myself , Henry H. Hart. I thought you might be interested in a little more of the history of this Regiment since Adams county furnished three entire companies, H, I and K, in all about 325 men. James Stoops, Jr. was mustered in as second lieutenat of Company K but resigned on June 3, .1863 and my grandfather, Sgt. Henry H. Hart, was promoted to fill the vacancy, until the time of his death. August 22, 1864, of wounds received in action. The 89th rendevoused at Wabash, organized at Indianapolis and was mustered into the service on the 28th day of August, 1862. Proceeding to Louisville, Kentucky, it was sent to Munfordsville to reinforce the garrison there. In the attack on that place by the confederates under Gen. Bragg, they were compelled to surrender to vastly superior numbers and on the next day the captured officers and men were paroled to their homes until an order for an exchange of prisoners was received. The order for their exchange being received on the sth of December, the regiment proceeded to Memphis, arriving on the Sth of December, where it engaged in picket duty. On January 26, 1864, the 89th left Memphis on transports with the First Brigade, ' Third Division, Sixteenth Corps [of General Sherman’s command, for Vicksburg reaching there on I'the 31st of January. From this [ point it moved on the Meridian raid, marching through Jackson, Hillsboro and several other towns and arrived at Meridian on the 14 of February, having skirmished with the “Rebs”at "Quan’s Hill and after tearing up the Mobile and Ohio railroad track in that vicinity, it met and defeated the enemy at Fort De Russey, Henderson’s Hill and Pleasant Hill. On the first of May, 1864, it marched to Bayou Roberts, Governor Moore's plantation and Bayou La Moore, and after a sharp engagement repulsed the enemy with a loss to the 89th of four killed and eleven wounded. ■ The command of Gen. A. J. Smith, of which the 89th formed a part, then resumed its march toward the Mississippi from along the Red river near Alexandria on May 14. 1864, reaching VelloW Bayou, three miles from Semmes- ’ port, Louisiana, on the Atchafala;j a river on the 17th.

Still Dispute Over Cease-Fire Appeal MOSCOW (DPI) — Reliable diplomatic sources said today that Russia’s reply to Western proposals to restore peace in Laos Indicated a qualified acceptance of an Immediate cease - fire appeal, but no agreement has yet been reached. The sources said the Soviets still do not see eye-to-eye with the West on a timetable aimed at bringing a final Laotian settlement. They said there still seemed to be some dispute over whether the cease - fire appeal should precede the convocation of an international conference on Laos as the Western powers insist. There also appeared to be differences over whether there should be an immediate ceasefire appeal, coupled simultaneously with an immediate reactivation of the three-nation International Conciliation Commission in New Delhi, India. Release of details of the Soviet reply to the Western proposals presented by Britain was expected shortly. (In London, Britain announced it was consulting with the United States on Russia’s latest — and apparently inconclusive — peace proposals on Laos. The British plan called for a cease-fire first to be followed by negotiations). Former -Laotian Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma, who arrived here by plane from Warsaw Sunday night, conferred with Soviet officials. Phouma will fly to Washington Tuesday for a meeting with President Kennedy. the prairie near Marksville with little loss to either side, but on the 18th day of May 1864. the 89th recrossed the Yellow Bayou, and with other troops marched up Bayou De Glaise to Smith and Norwoods plantation, and there with a severe contest, the enemy under the command of Gen. Poligniac, was repulsed with great slaughter. The regiment lost eight killed and forty-five wounded; total 53; one of whom was my grandfather, Lieut. Henry H. Hart, and another, Henry H. Myers. father of John T. and Richard H. Myers who had enlisted in Company H of the 89th as a private, but was appointed color sergeant of the regiment. Sgt. Myers was wounded in the left leg just below the knee, and for several weeks was in the hospital at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, along with my grandfather, but he recovered and returned home while my grandfather, Lt. Hart, who was wounded in the shoulder, died August 22. 1864. Sincerely, Bryce Thomas.

Radio Messages Tell Os Invasion

By United Press International Messages from rebel and government radio stations in Cuba helped draw this picture of today’s. invasion: 3 a.m.—A Cuban army, radio station reported an invasion force had landed on the southern coast of Matanzas Province. Intense gunfire was reported. A government station in Havana ordered the Matanzas station off the air pending further orders. 5:20 a.m. — Government commercial stations on the air but no mention of the fighting. 5;35 a.m.—Radio Swan, an antiCastro commercial station in the Caribbean, reported: “There have been several uprisings in several provinces. There is no indication, however, that Castro is preparing to leave. . .a considerable number of army and navy officials have joined the patriots.’’ 5:42 a.m. — Radio Swan said “militia in which Castro pinned hopes starting to disband. Forces en masse have united with patriots. . . .” 5:50 a.m.—Radio Swan urged Cubans to “attack the Fidelista,

Thousands Are Stranded By Spring Snow By United Press International A giant spring snowstorm that caught the Midwest off guard drifted broomstick high today and stranded thousands of persons in travel terminals, farm homes and makeshift roadside shelters. The near-blizzard measured up to 15 inches at Duluth, Minn. It closed dozens of major highways, hid rural roads in seven states and virtually paralyzed long distance ground and air commercial traffic in Chicago, the nation’s transportation hub. At least 30 deaths were attributed to the weekend storm, including 14 motorist fatalities in blinding snow on icy roads and six members of a Madisonville, Tenn., family who died when kerosene was splashed oh a fire in their home for heat against subfreezing cold. Uncounted traffic accidents in Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa. Minnesota, Indiana, lower Michigan and northeast Ohio ranged from dented fenders to multiple crackups. Harried Illinois State Patrol officers said there would be “no attempt” to estimate the total num-
