By Leo N. Seltenright Soil and Water Conservation Demonstration Milton Spence, Worn Unit Conservationist for the Adams Soil and Water Conservation District, presented a demonstration for two local 4-H clubs this past week.

clubs were the French Happy ■ Hoosiers and the Decatur City Slickers. Spence explained and . then demonstrated the differences [ in soil structure using samples of soil from farms with two different , types of crop, rotations. He also . demonstrated the water holding and drainage capacities of the two types of soil. He pointed out that soils in good structure will have air in the profile; therefore, weigh less per volume than soils of poor structure. After soaking an equal volume of the two different soils in water; by weighing each sample he showed that the soil of poor structure would retain more water thus bringing adout a waterlogged, cold soil situation in actual practice. The demonstration was quite interesting and helpful to the 4-H clubbers.

visors and the Extension Service have planned a ministers four on soil and water conservation. It will be held Friday, April 28 and will be a tour of conservation activities and a meeting highlighting the importance of conservation. The Krick-Tyndall Company is also assisting with the program. District Judging Contest > The Fort Wayne 4-H and FFA ; district judging contest will be I held Saturday, April 29 at Warsaw in Kosciusko County. Adams County will be well represented in the contest. 4-H Junior Leader Program The 4-H Junior Leader officers met last Tuesday evening to plan their 1961 program. They have a program I’m sure all the 4-H Junior leaders will enjoy and be interested in participating’in. Corn Plants Per Acre Number of corn plants per acre should be geared to the waterholding ’’capacity, fertility level and recent experiences. However, a good farmer on good land should wind up with about 16,000 corn plants per acre. This means that he must plant 18,000 or 19,000 which is one grain every 8 inches in 40-inch rows. A bushel of seed corn of the medium flat grade contains about 70,000 grains. For a prospective good yield of corn this will plant no more than 4 acres. Row Spacing For Soybeans Row spacing experiments with soybeans have repeatedly shown row widths of 24 to 28 inches to give the highest per acre yield. Farmers with extensive acreage of soybeans to plant should consider adapting equipment to plant at this row spacing. Average yields increased 5 bushels per acre in the 35 to 40 bushel bracket. Watch Speed in Planting High speed corn planting often reduces the amount of seed corn actually planted. This is an important consideration in determining the prospective yield. Many planters drop seed most accurately at three miles per hour.

Os This And That April showers bring May flowers — and raincoats out of the closets. You can choose between cloth and plastic raincoats. Some cloth rainwear is untreated and is rainresistant merely because it is closely woven. Others have a finish which may have to be renewed after the garment is cleaned or laundered or which may be dur-j able. But even durable finishes can be made ineffective if soap or detergents are not thoroughly rinsed out in laundering. These water-resistant finishes also make the fabric resistant to stains, except oily ones. Plastic rainwear is water-proof if it is adequally sealed at the seams. But, just as it doesn’t admit moisture, neither does it admit air, and it can be uncomfortably warm. It is generally less expensive than cloth rainwear. How to distinguish between plastic and cloth, treated and untreated cloth, durable and non-durable finishes? Read the label and learn exactly what you are buying. Some so-called all weather coats carry no labels indicating that they are water-resistant, which may mean that they do not have this important quality. A Better You What kind of appearance are you making to the world? What type of first impression do you make? Miss LaVeda Cook of Warner Beauty College will speak and demonstrate to Adams county women Thursday evening, April 27 in the Berne-French school cafeteria. The meeting is sponsored by the Adams County Home Demonstration association as a special interest lesson for all interested county women. Meeting time is 7:30. Miss Cook has been a stylist at Warner Beauty College for several years and she has also studied in Paris. She will demonstrate hair styling, combing, coloring, and make-up. The committee in charge of the evening meeting is: Mrs. Dan ■ Striker, Mrs. Merle Kuhn, Mrs. , Earl Lehman. Mrs. Lores Stucky, [ Mrs. Roger Augsburger, and Mrs. Clifford Umpleby.

Look and Bead -during the first week in May stop, look, and read for information on home demonstration work. During that week more than 65,000 Home Demonstration club members will take part in the 16th observance of National Home Demonstration Week. This year in Adams county the members are following a “each one tell one” program as each home demonstration member makes an effort to tell a non-member about the home demonstration work. Also watch the newspapers, radio and television for more news of this work. Feed Grain Program Signup Next Tuesday Adams county farmers can begin signing for participation in the 1961 feed grain program Tuesday according to James Garboden, chairman of the county ASC committee. Garboden said farmers who wish to make application should bring with them their notice of feed acreage base and payment rate. Either the operator or farm owner can make application. Deadline for application is not later than June 1, Garboden said, As soon as the county ASC committee approles the application, a producer may be issued a negotiable certificate redeemable in grain or cash equivalent of the grain The feed grain program authorized recently by the con- ■ gress for corn and grain sorghum is designed to bring production of feed grains into line with current needs.

Three Major Areas Determine Yields

Area I — Planting a. Select a fertile, well-drained field. Based on results of a soil test I add lime, fertilizer, or both if needed. b. Start controlling weeds before planting. Work the field early so that a crop of weeds can start. Then kill them with a disk or harrow just before planting. c. Use the best variety. Use pure, high germination seed of the improved variety most likely to give big yields in your locality and still mature before frost. d. Plant in as narrow rows as you can cultivate. Check your planter, try to plant 10 to 12 seeds per foot of row in a well-prepared seedbed. Best time to plant is when the temperature of the soil will give quick germination and rapid growth — about corn planting time, after corn in the south. e. Innoculation is good insurance. It enables the soybean crop to provide most of its nitrogen. The cost is only 10 to 15 cents per acre and if the proper bacteria are not in the soil, your yield will be low. Better be sure. Area II — Controlling weeds a. Never give the weeds a start. Cultivate with the rotary hoe or spike-tooth harrow before the beans are up, if they are slow coming. Otherwise shortly after they are up. Kill the weeds while they are ‘‘in the white” — just coming through. Then do it again about a week later. These early hoeings may mean 4 to 6 bushels more beans and will save at least 1 one cultivation with the regular, cultivator. Drive the rotary hoe 10 to 12, miles an hour and weight it as 1 much as needed to properly stir
