District Junior Leader Conference: 4-H junior leaders will be ati tending a district training conference at Huntington Feb. 14. This 1 conference is co-sponsored by the extension service and farm bureau. Two junior leaders from. each township will participate in the training program. Agricultural Marketing Association: Last week a number of tomato producers got together to discuss jan agricultural marketing asso- - ciation. Discussion concerned their problems as producers and how they might be able to work together to overcome these problems. Several objectives were pointed out as guides in this. work. 1. Help farmers earn highest net. income consistent with sound ■ bargaining principles. 2. Earn highest price for farm, commodities consistent with sound economic principles. 3. Create understanding be- .. Ywe~n-processors and farmers. 5. Assist in promotion pro-I grams to develop new and greater market outlets. 6. Qu ality , improvement. Their activities are being carried on through the Indiana ag...riculturaL. -marketing association, i an affiliate organization of Indi- ' ana Farm Bureau. Grain Handling Meeting: Good grain handling systems ■ i for livestock farms don’t just i happen, they are planned, reportied Bruce McKenzie. In fact. McKenzie. extension agricultural, engineer, from Purdue Universi-j - ty, said that the difference be■i tween a haphazard “armstrong” i type grain handling program, on a farm, and an efficient well org- ■ anized facility is not the cost, but the planning. The cost of the haphazard approach will slip up' on ybu, if you’re not careful. McKenzie pointed out that good' ear corn handling systems can j . operate economically with shelled ! corn handling methods, particularly where the total grain handled is under 7,000 bu. per year., 7Tn addition to the common ear ■ - corn systems, he outlined the nossibilitv of using a wide, clear soan building. This apnroach has the advantage of a building tynei I that is completely open. It can I be ear corn storage today, and machinery’, livestock or utility storage tomorrow. Out-of-stof-age ear corn handling can he easilv mechanized with high ca-l pacity, using a snow scoop on a tractor. „ The . crib design - must I include forced, unheated air drying. but this gives all of the ad-1 vantages of early harvest. On dry shelled com systems,! McKenzie discussed different - i methods of drying. Tn general,; ■ in-storage drying using supple-1 * mental heat is a low investment I cost method. It is probably’ best J ; suited to* the small operator where speed is not so important. - Small batch drvers on the other! hand, deliver 700 bu. to 1000 bu. per day, and will cost about the' same as 2 to 3 supplemental heat;

i systems. Hence, this, is the j break-even investment point for the two methods, and perform- ! ance then becomes the primary 1 question. The large volume operator over 20,000 bushels will probably look to large batch or continuous flow drying for his needs. McKenzie also outlined a method for using a round metal bin as a batch dryer. With this approach, a 5 h.p, fan and 1,000,000 BTU heater will dry 1.000 bu. of 25‘v corn every 24 hours. Drying efficiency appears to be good. . and investment low. t High moisture com storage ! would seem best, suited to the i large livestock feeder, according to McKenzie, because of the economy in large sealed storages. Current research indicates a 10% | increased feed efficiency on high moisture corn and cob meal fed, to cattle. The indication with high moisture shelled com for hogs, however, is that the corn mav be reduced 'as much as 5%» i in feed value. No drying cost and 1 increased handling capacity may offset this. McKenzie stressed the importance of planning the layout of grain storage on the farm. He emphasized that more consideration must be given to out-of-stor-age handling. This is a 365 day per year job on most livestock 4 farms, compared to only 20 or 30 days of in-to-storage handling. He stated that Adams county farmers can have a high level of mechanized handling at an economical cost, with good planning. ; The grain handling system j plans which McKenzie outlined j should be available for distribution in late spring. The systems presented can be built unit by unit over a period of years, using standard bins and equipment presently available. They present an excellent, basis for planning how to get from where you are, to where you want to be. Interested farmers should contact him for further questions. Os This And That By: Lois M.

At yeast 100 square feet of outdoor paving is recommended for each cow, to provide a mud-free exercise area. This type housing is now common throughout the state. Notice that the barn is a low, three-sided building, with a long side open, lo prevent too much moisture and heat buildup inside. Ends may be used for bedding storage of straw. County agent Leo N. Seltenrig ht has plans for such-structures, which have been farm-tested for use.

OMAHA (UPD — Secretary of i Agriculture Orville L. Freeman I said today that the nation’s farrn- ! ers will “vigorously support” the i 1962 feed grain program. . Freeman, launching the signup for the program at a meeting! . with his midwestern lieutenants here, said the 1961 program was ! a “smashing success,” and that: the new program will receive the , ! farm support it must have to pass Congress and be successful in I practice. “Without a program, government' ■ holdings would have increased by 500 million bushels for corn and 150 million bushels for grain : sorghums,” Freeman said of the 1961 program. “Instead there will be a sizeable decrease in government stocks and a reduction in the carryover of all feed grains ,of nearly 300 million bushels.” I Freeman made his remarks as; he opened the first of three meet-’

ings launching the signup for the 1962 program. Representatives of 19 midwestern and southern states attended the meeting. By participating in 1962, Freeman said, farmers will continue to reduce the costly pileup of feed grains in government ownership and, in so doing, save dollars for every citizen through further reductions in costs of storing, shipping, and handling of government-owned grains. Farmers also can be assured of price supports on their 1962 pro-
