Explorer Scouts On Tour 01 Air Base Explorer Scout post 2062 toured the Air Force museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force base, 0., Sunday, despite a snowstorm and several mishaps, Dr. Mel Weisman, advisor to the post, said today. Dr. Weisman and David MacLean started out with six members of the post, which is supported by the Decatur Elks lodge. Just out of Decatur Mac Lean’s car developed a broken tail pipe, sc they returned to Dr. Weisman's to get his station wagon, but his wife had left for Fort Wayne with it. So a hurried call to the parents of one of the boys, Dorrus Williamson, produced another car for the group, which they proceeded through the snow storm to the air base. On the return trip the Williamson car broke its fan belt, adding another incident to the trip for the group. Those making the trip included Gary Frauhiger, David Smith, Jr., Steven Hazelwood, Jim Williamson, Tom Macklin and Dsn Hess. The post also had a successful dance last Friday night at the Elks, and Monday after their regular meeting enjoyed a game of bowling. Any ypungj. man 14 years pf age or older who would like to join, whether or'hot he has eveb been a Boy Scout, may do so by attending a meeting at 7:30 p. m. at the Youth Center on the first and third Mondays of the month, or by calling Dr. Melvin I. Weisman. Decatur Man Fined And Given Sentence Eugene McDonald, 37, of Decatur. was sentenced to six months at the Indiana state farm and fined SSO Monday in Wells circuit court on a charge of failure to provide. He entered a plea of guilty, waiving arraignment.

Dairy Meeting Held Al Berne Tuesday Adding soybean supplement to silage, hydroponics, urea feeding, and "high grain” feeding were among the interesting subjects discussed Tuesday night in a dairy meeting at the Berne-French high school by Norb Moeller, extension dairy specialist, county agent Leo N. Seltenright said this morning. The D.H.1.A.-sponsored meeting included about 15 farmers, just right for the round-robin discussion type of meeting which Moeller conducted. This was the second in a series on dairy problems — the first meeting included a discussion on the advisability of including orchard grass, timothy and other grasses in alfalfa, to give a better “peak” proteindesireability ratio at haying time, which unfortunately in this county comes right at corn-planting time. Silage Problems The present trend away from grass silage was also discussed. Good grass silage is a little more difficult to make than corn silage, and many farmers have gotten poorer results from using it. Purdue scientists, operating with a "window-sided” cow, so that the four stomachs could be observed in action, found the bacteria help reduce both silage and grain supplements to usable nutrients. They found that different bacteria caused action on the two. They also found that when the two bacteria were working at the same time, the best results were achieved. So, they recommend adding soybean supplement to silage in loose housing parlors. Os course, in stanchion type operations, each individual cow’s rations can be more easily controlled, with extra work. The addition of supplements to grass silage produced good results in the herds where tried, although there really have been no official experiments on the ideas yet,

Moeller pointed out. Hydroponic* Hydroponics, the method of growing oats in a building with moisturelhumidity and temperature controls, was also discussed. The idea grew from the feeling that green grass is the thing to feed, rather than silage. Experiments, Moeller said, indicate that there is no more total dry matter or total digestable nutrients in green grass than in the more conventional feeding methods. Also, if 12 pounds of green grass is added to the ration a day, this is only 7/10 of a pound of additional TDM, which is not very much, considering the cost of the building. If green gras stimulates appetite of the cows, producing more, it is an unidentified stimulus, Moeller said, that has not yet been proven in experimental work. Urea Feeding Caution in the use of urea as a feed for cows was..urged, as it must be very carefully used. In large quantities it can be a poison; experiments now in progress have not confirmed or disproven reports that urea affects the fertility of dairy cattle. “High grain” feeding, which has been done on an experimental single cow basis by the dean of dairy research at Michigan State University, is in direct contrast to present feed recommendations, Moeller stated. So far it has worked only on individual cows with good management, and has not been' successful economically on herds. Moeller still recommends a silagegrain with 14% protein feeding program, as the D.H.I.A. establishes. Cop Winnings In Recent Bird Shows Mr. and Mrs. Archie Smitley, 322 N. Fourth St., have copped many winnings in two bird shows held recently. At the midwest bird show held at Detroit, with over 600 entries, the Smitleys won seven firsts, five seconds, three thirds, three speclalls, and three trophies for the

Falher-Son Banquet Held Last Evening Claude Wolfe, coach at Menchester College, was the guest speaker for 55 men and boys of the Church of God at the annual father and son banquet, held Tuesday evening at the Youth and Community Center. Wolfe, who graduated from Bethany Biblical Seminary in 1945, spoke on living conditions in Ecuador, where he spent several years' in social and missionary work before becoming coach at Manchetter in 1951. He served as director of a boys’ club in the slum area of Quito, Ecuador, from 1945 to 1947. He was then director of a service unit in Puerto Rico in 1947 and 1948. From 1948 until 1951, Wolfe was a pioneer missionary to the rural Indians outside Quito, Ecuador. He told of the savage customs in Ecuador, of the primitive living conditions and lack of any sanitation facilities for the natives, despite high standards of living set by the government, but not practiced among the poorer class of citizens. During the past summer, Wolfe and 28 other persons worked in Ecuador to help improve sanitation in that country. The banquet opened with the doxology, followed by the invocation by Ralph Hawkins. After the dinner was served, a brief business meeting was held. Following Wolfe’s address, an interesting question and answer period was held. The meeting was dismissed with the benediction by the Rev. Huston Bever, Jr., pastor of the church. best of the show. In the national cage bird exhibitions held at Columbus, 0., where there were 1,100 entries, the Smitleys accounted for 10 firsts, nine seconds, two thirds, three fourths, and four trophies for the best of the show.

Children's Winter Clothing Is Needed Children s winter clothing, shoes, or boots are urgently needed again this year for Washington township and Decatur school children who do not have enough warm clothing to wear to school, Robert Gay, township trustee, said this .morning.

S. savings bonds sales for October were increased three per cent over the sales for the corresponding period of last year, according to a report made to T. F.
