Plans were outlined for all the county chapters who will be participating in operation brainpower college day. Adams county will participate in the program. Also we saw a real good football game (for Purdue, that is.) WHAT IS A MEAT-TYPE STEER? Henry Mayo, Purdue University animal scientist, says cattle raisers and meat processors generally agree there’s a need for a meat-type steer, but they don’t necessarily agree on a definition. The veteran extension specialist describes a meat-type steer as a young beef animal of desirable quality producing a carcass with some marbling in the lean meat and enough fat covering to protect its carcass during handling and cooking. Maximum muscling through the - more valuable areas — rib, loin, round, and to some extent, chuck —is desirable. The meat-type steer is thick through its rear quarters and is wide, smooth and slightly curved over the loin and rib. Some Indiana cattle raisers are progressing toward these desirable traits. Mayo points out that when we sell cattle we’re actually selling meat. Carcass analysis of the 108 steers in the 1962 Hoosier beef show gives these indications of progress: Average selling weight, 968 lbs.;

TRACTOR FATALITIES UP 25 PER CENT: Tractor fatalities in Indiana rose 25 per cent during 1960 and 1961, reports F. R. Willsey, Purdue University farm safety specialist. A study of Willsey of fatal accidents involving farm tractors shows the mishaps remained fairly constant from 1957 through 1959. Average yearly total for these three years was slightly more than 41. Then in 1960 the i fatality count jumped to 57 and : dropped four to 53 deaths in 1961. ■ The average for 1960-61 is 55 fatalities—a 25 per cent increase over the average for the previous three years. COUNTY AGENT R Fatalities on roadways remained almost constant, with the big increase coming in the number of on-farm accidents. Willsey says this increase could not be traced to any particular type of accident. “It just seems to be a general increase in the number of on-farm fatalities,” he observes. “The most effective way to reduce the number of tractor fatalities,” says Willsey, “is for each person operating a tractor to review his own behavior while on or .near farm tractors. Then correct all dangerous acts to prevent accidents. Make the needed changes in your behavior today—tomorrow may be too late," he emphasized. VEGETABLE DEMONSTRATION CONTEST: Purdue University’s fifth annual • vegetable demonstration contest, ■ open to all Indiana high school - and college students, will be held "Oct. 27 at the horticulture building. • Demons'trfttfnnswill'be into vegetable production, soil fertility improvement, marketing of vegetables and fruit and use of — —

canned vegetables. 1 Six trips to the national junior vegetable growers association convention, Dec. 1-9, in Miami Beach, Fla., will be awarded to the top contestants in the four divisions. The contest is designed to stimn- ( late planning and explaining ver- j bally production practices, soil improvement methods, use of canned vegetables and marketing procedures for vegetables and . small fruit crops. PLANTING TREES: Trees often represent a sizable investment for home owners. So, to protect your investment and make it grow, take a little extra time and plant properly. You should first select the best tree variety and best location. Then follow correct transplanting procedures, advise Purdue University extension horticulturists. They recommend these steps Dig a hole large enough to add top soil and peat moss. Make sure the hole is twice as wide and six inches deeper than the spread of the roots or the size of the ball. Prune broken roots and set your tree two or three inches deeper than it grew in the nursery. It drainage is poor, run a tile line from the bottom of the hole | to a lower area or a dry well. ' Use three parts of top soil and one part peat moss with most by half in clay soils, soils, but reduce the peat moss Add two teaspoons of 10-8-6 fertilizer per bushel of soil for all plantings. Be sure you work the top soil carefully around and under the roots and settle the soil by flooding with water. This reduces air pockets. Don’t pack the soil with your feet; you might break the roots. Finally, fill in with soil loosely to ground level, leaving a saucershaped depression for future watering. After planting is finished ' give the tree additional water. FALLING LEAVES A PROBLEM? Colorful autumn leaves flutter- ; ing earthward can be a lovely - sight. 1 But Don Scheer, Purdue University extension horticulturist, says that if this fluttering is going on in your own backyard, you may be in for some hard work, unless you mechanize the clean-up job. "Hand raking can be a chore, especially when you must rake leaves often to prevent them from matting and damaging your lawn. When you hand rake, be gentle and protect the young grass

Wulliman Types 18Holsteins BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — The Herd of Holstein breeder in this area has been officially classified for type by Charles J. Howe, Tunbridge, Vermont, an official inspector on the staff of The HolsteinFriesian Association of America. Results are as follows: Harry Williman & Son, Berne, Indiana — 18 animals classified 2 “Very Good”, 14 “Good Plus” and 2 "Good”. Classification, in continuous operation since 1929, is the official type program of the Holstein breed. It measures the conformation of living animals against the theoretical perfection of the True-Type Holstein cow or bull. The information made available by the program provides detailed reference material for Holstein breeders in all sections of the country. Liechfy, Sfahly Cows Set Records Registered Holstein cows from this area are prominently mentioned in an official production testing report received today from Holstein-Friesian Association of America headquarters at Brattleboro, Vermont. Meadow Pond Design Burke 4602690, a three-year-old owned by Rolandes Liechty, Berne, produced 18,464 tbs. milk and 658 ibs. butterfat in 325 days. , Merryfield Emperor Hazel 3861614, a seven-year-old, produced 19,966 ibs. milk and 727 ibs. butterfat in 365 days. Chattdale Pabst Burke Dixie 3689824, an eight-year-old, had 15,955 ibs. milk and 695 ibs. butterfat in 365 days. Both are owned by Chris Stahly, Geneva. According to the national Holstein organization, the new production figures compare to an annual output of 7,211 ibs. of milk and 270 ibs. of butterfat by the average U. S. dairy cow. Purdue University supervised the weighing and testing ~”of the Holstein records as part 'of the breed’s nation-wide herd testing programs. Locals Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. Anspaugh left for St. Petersburg, Fla., today. Bette Jean Castle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Castle, 1215 Elm St., recently celebrated her 18th birthday. Bette is a senior at Decatur high school. Mrs. Clair Carver, Carolyn and David, attended parents’ day at Taylor University Saturday and visited Miss Barbara Carver. In the afternoon they attended the Taylor-Anderson football game Taylor won by a score of 17-7, thus clinching the 1962 football championship in the Hoosier collegiate conference. Sam Wagner Was admitted to the Clinic hospital, Bluffton, Friday. His room number is 302. Second Lt. Gene Baxter arrived home Friday evening from Fort Sill, Oakla., after graduating from artillery missile school. Following a short delay en route he will report to Fort Benning, Ga., for para- ! trooper training before leaving for assignment to Hawaii. Mrs? Harry Hebble, Jr., is reported recovering nicely from gall blades. Better stiU^ If you have only a few leaves, Scheer suggests attaching the leaf mulcher plate to your rotary mower for fall use. It will aid in pulverizing eaves and will deposit them into your grass. If you have large piles of leaves, pick up the thick areas before you use the leaf mulcher. Best of all is a lawn sweeper, particularly. if you have a large lawn with many trees. Whenever possible, compost your leaves by adding soil and fertilizer. Avoid burning, which wastes valuable organic matter and nutrients.

No Real Clue To Soviet Intention

WASHINGTON (UPD— Admin-,: istration officials studying Rus- i sia’s initial reaction to President Kennedy's Cuban blockade found no real clue today as to what the ; Kremlin will try to do about it Bitter Moscow statements I charging “American provocation” and “aggression” left unanswered the question of whether Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev will try to crack the ring of naval and air power Kennedy has thrown around the island. A close watch disclosed no evidence that Russia was moving to initiate a counter blockade of the Red encircled Allied position in West Berlin—a move feared by some Western diplomats. The Soviet Union went immediately on the propaganda offensive. But Soviet officials appeared to be maintaining flexible position as far as specific action on a miltary nature was concerned. Demand Councl Meetin Russian and Cuban demands for a U.N. Security Council meeting to condemn the U.S. blockade seemed to indicate that for the moment the Kremlin planned to fight the Caribbean battle on the diplomatic and propaganda fronts. But as Soviet vessels, some believed bearing arms, moved closer to Cuba and the blockade deadline it was obvious that Russia faced a critical decision. The' test could come in the Caribbean, when the U.S. Navy tries to stop the first Soviet or Communist bloc vessel to search it for “offensive” weapons. The Navy has orders to shoot to sink if necessary to enforce the blockade. Or the real showdown could take place in Europe if Khrushchev should decide to retaliate by blocking Allied access routes to West Berlin across the territory of Communist East Germany. Choice Is Russia’s In either area, the peace-or-fight choice seemed to rest with the Kremlin. Kennedy had publicly pledged himself not to depart from the path “full of hazards” he laid put for .the .nation ..MonSay night. ——•- z The President obviously anticipated the possibility of a Soviet move on Berlin when he warned that “any hostile move anywhere in the world” and particularly against “the brave people of West Berlin” would be met by 'Whatever action was needed.

ficials said U.S. military reaction against any Berlin blockade would be swift. x . ««« The disclosure of Soviet I,OOOand 2,000-mile missiles in Cuba and Kennedy’s swift counter-move blasted hopes which had sprung up recently for another round of East-West negotiations to avert a flaming cold war crisis. Leaves Door Open High U.S. officials said Kennedy still was leaving the door open for possible negotiations with Khrushchev on Cuba and Berlin. The U.S. draft resolution prepared for the United Nations called for Russia and the United States to "confer promptly” on means of resolving the Cuban aggressive problem. Kennedy pointed out in his address, however, that “it is difficult to settle or even discuss these problems in an atmosphere of intimidation.” Initial response from Allied Nations was heartening to U.S. officials. They felt there was a disposition to close ranks behind the United States, despite some obvious misgivings over the Kennedy course. The two major World War II enemies of the United States — Germany and Japan — quickly rallied to its support with declarations endorsing the President’s action. x ALLIES SHOCKED (Continued from Page One) Valencia called a special meeting of his cabinet to listen to the speech. In Chile, U.S. Ambassador Charles Cole conferred for 40 minutes with Jorge Alessandri, who qalled in Foreign Minister Carlos Martinez Sotomayor for further consultations as soon as Cole left his office. Bolivia President Victor Paz Estentsoro told a news conference he is “very preoccupied by the international situation. ..created bx.. -. i Cuba and President Kennedy’s declaration.” Burned-Food Stains Stubborn food burns on enamelware calls for a cleaning solution of baking soda and water. Also, boiling vinegar and water in a scorched pan will help remove those stains.
