With the exception of a pair of cool evenings, there were good crowds on hand. There is much conversation about retail business during a street fair. It may fall off. But a fair of this type attracts outsiders to our city, and, in the long run, business should benefit. A street fair is basically for the youngsters. Those residents of Decatur of 25 years of age or over can remember street fairs of the past, and the fun that went along with them. There is nothing like a fair to excite children. -. i _ The same is true of modern youngsters, if the happy and enthusiastic crowds during the spe- « cial children’s matinees could be used as a gauge. Many of the parents looked as if they might be having as much fun as the kids. , The Red Men should also be complimented for contracting with the Gooding Amusement Co. While “fair people” have a stigma concerning their general character, there were no official reports of any trouble caused by the people who set up and managed the rides and stands. ~~~ All in all. it, was a nice fair, and it is hoped that next year can see a repeat, on a bigger and better scale. ■* —JEditorial Writer Today John G.

JUNK IB DAIRY MONTH! 441 Dairy Tour The 4-H dairy tour was very well attended last Wednesday. Mr. Norbert Moeller, Extension Dairyman, did a very good job of explaining feeding, fitting and showing of dairy cattle. Farm stops were at the L. Reuben Schwartz farm in Monroe township and/ the Charles Morrison farm in St. Mary's township. 4-H club members were Carl and Richard Schwartz and Wilford Morrison. The third stop was the McMillen Research farm in Root township. The research farm tour was under the supervision of James Myers. At noon the 4-H members and families enjoyed a pot-luck dinner at Hanna-Nutt-man park. The First State Bank of Decatur provided refreshments for the dinner. 4-H Fair Committee The 4-H Fair Committee met last Tuesday evening to discuss plans for the 4-H Fair. Each department commented on their arrangements. Suggestions were made to provide for improvement. With good cooperation we can stay with the 4-H motto “To Make The Best Better.” Low Temperatures Affect Corn, Wheat $ Silvery green corn leaves, windwhipped plants and wheat heads only partly filled puzzled many Hoosier farmers in mid-June. Keller E. Beeson, Purdue University extension agronomist, says freakish temperatures are responsible for two of these conditions. Unseasonable temperatures early in the growing season probably caused pale green patches of corn leaves that then were the most tender. Their color was modified because the chlorophyl of the plant was affected. However, normal growth was resumed and the plants do not seem to be seriously retarded. High winds later whipped” many corn fields, causing the top leaves to bend at right angles to the plant and often break. Steady growth of the plant will give it healthy new leaves, Beeson explains. Damage to wheat by the late May frosts results in sections of the heads failing to fill. Only plants in bloom during the frosty: nights show such damage. In central Indiana the earliest variety grown, Monon, was reported far enough along to be damaged. Beeson says no variety during blossom is more resistant than another to low temperatures. If frost occurs when pollen is being shed, it will damage the flower that produces the individual grain. Since the stage of blossoming is not uniform over an entire wheat head, only a section may be "blasted,” the agronomist adds. Frost sometimes also causes tender stem tissue to collapse. Chiggers — l , The chigger season has arrived and with it red welts, itching and short tempers. Chiggers are really tiny mites, explains Glen Lehker, Purdue University extension entomologist. They attack humans and other animals only in their first, or larval, stage. Later they become harmless and are known.as harvest mites. In their “non-biting” stages they feed on insect eggs and vegetable matters. Chiggers usually are found in

brier patches, weeds and tall grass; they also often infest wellkept lawns, parks, and shrubbery. Chiggers crawl on plants and wait for an animal upon which they can feed. If none is found they die. However, if a suitable host comes along they swarm over its body in countless numbers. Chiggers do not burrow into the skin. They insert their mouthparts and inject A chemical into the skin which 'causes cells to break down. This causes the severe itching, but it may not start right away. Up to 24 hours may pass before the red welts appear. For this reason, a hot ba& in soapy water as soon as possible after exposure will prevent or at least reduce the number of bites. Many insect repellents now on the market offer good protection against chiggers, the Purdue entomologist says. They should be used on the body and clothing before you go into areas likely to harbor the pests. Among the best are those containing diethyl tolumide, “6-12”, or dimethyl phthalate. Even ordinary dusting sulphur will giVe good protection when dusted on the body and into the clothing. Protection is most needed around the ankles and where clothing fits tightly against the skin. The chigger problem around homes can be solved by spraying or dusting the grass and shrubbery. Any one of the several insecticides will kill the pests. Among these are chlordane, lindane, toxaphene, and dieldrin. Directions for mixing will be found on the label. For example, chlordane carries as a 45 per cent emulsifiable concentrate which is used by adding 10 teaspoonfuls to three gallons of water and spraying it evenly over 1000 square feet. One application at the start of the chigger season will give good protection for the balance of the summer. O 0 I Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE | O a Pearl Handles Pearl handles are made of mo-ther-of-pearl, the nacre that lines the shells. They need only soap and water. No arrpnonia. Do not let the pearl handles soak in water, as this treatment may loosen the cement that holds thtm in place. Save Rgvelings It is a good idea when heming table linen to save the ravelings and wrap them around an empty spool. They are the best material possible for darning holes and thin places in worn table lirten. Faint Brushes After using paint or varnish brushes, clean thouroughiy, then rub with petroleum jelly and put away free from dust. This will keep the brushes Broken Key If the Yale-type key breaks off flush in the lock, apply a small amount of solder flux to the broken end, then apply a bead of solder with the tip of a solder gun so that the solder flows onto the key. Hold the solder gun motionless until the solder hardens, then pull the key out.

Hoosier Fann Prices Down Four Percent LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Indiana farm prices declined four percent from mid-April to mid-May, according to Purdue University agricultural economists and statefederal statisticians. The drop resulted primarily from lower livestock prices. Hoosier farm purchasing power slipped three percent, while U. S. farm prices, U. S. farm purchasing power and U. S. wholesale prices all declined one percent. Prices paid by U. S. farmers remained unchanged. Although the Indiana livestock price index fell five percent, the Indiana grain price index remained unchanged for the period. Major commodities declining: Hogs and whole milk, five percent; cattle, four percent; soybeans, three percent; lambs, nine percent; wheat and baled hay, two percent; chickens, 12 percent, and calves, one percent. Commodities increasing: Com and oats, five percent, and wool, two percent. Product-feed price ratios generally declined during the period. The hog-corn ratio fell 10 percent; broiler-feed dropped 15 percent; chicken-feed 12 percent, whole milk-feed, six percent, eggfeed, two percent, and turkeyfeed, one percent.

Os This And That OF THIS AND THAT by Lota M. Folk Home Demonstration Agent What is normal? We are begining to wonder after two years of “springless” springs, alternating days of extremely hot or cold weather considering the time of year, and rains which have been too much or too few, depending upon where you live and when you wanted them. The subject of what is normal is more than just one of polite conversation, it also affects the pocketbook and palate of consumers who enjoy locally produced fruits and vegetables. The only crops to suffer appreciable damage thus far are the fruit trees. Late freezes will reduce the output, but there may be a compensating feature in that lighter crops tend to produce higher quality fruits. Peach producing areas of the Southeast and far West are reporting heavy crops this year, so even though local supplies might be light, local prices may be kept down by peaches coming in from the outside. Watermelons did suffer a little early frost damage, but have apparently recovered. Watermelon acreages have been slightly reduced this year in Indiana. Tomatoes started slowly and some fields had to be replanted, however, the total crop should be about the same as last year if the remainder of the season is_favorable.

that they want their hemes to be warm and coiy instead; to Wend in new furniture is starting to swing back to informal, but still contemporary furniture. The trend is to combine the old with the new. Even new furniture has “distressed” finish-worm holes, scratches, worn-off edges and corners. It’s fashionable to have a coffee table that doesn’t match any other pieces in a room. To use old brick for a wall, or weathered siding from an old barn for paneling. To scour attics for an old platter or early American lantern to use in aa accessory grouping. Don’t confuse the “old look with shabbiness, because carpets are brighter in color and printed fabrics are crisper and fresher in both design and color. There is a trend to more painted furniture: antiqued or with a dry, chalky look — never bright and shiny. These painted pieces are used for accents and some are decorated with stenciled designs.
