Awards will be presented to 4-H members and leaders and state 4-H leader Eric Helm will speak. CHEMICAL WEED CONTROL: The dosage, timing, and method of application will be right to obtain the best results from the use of pre-emergence herbicides on corn and soybeans. These herbicides are now available to be applied either as a spray or the dry granule. Since the materials are costly, band or over-the-row applications are most practical. The pre-emergence herbicides suggested for use on corn are Atrazine, CDAA, and 2, 4-D for annual weed control. On soybeans, Amiben, Alanap, CDAA, and Alanap-Chloro IPC are the most effective materials. "Understand how these materials work and what to expect from each,’’ James L. Williams, Jr., Purdue weed specialist, told a group of farmers at a meeting in the Community Center last Tuesday Williams also discussed control of Giant foxtail He said Giant foxtail is the most serious annual weed to threaten Indiana farmers and is rapidly taking over fields throughout the state. It can now be found in every county and once established, it will persist under the best cultural practices. Guard against this invader and if it is present, make a special effort to prevent its spread. DELAY GRAPE PRUNING: Grape vines in Indiana, exposed to extremely frigid temperatures this winter, should be pruned with unusual care, observes Jerome Hull, Jr., Purdue University ex- — tension horticulturist. • Ordinarily, established grape vines four years or older are cut back to four or five long canes of last year’s growth and eight to 10 buds, or eyes, are left on each cane. Homeowners desiring to prune their grape vines now should leave seven to 10 canes, says Hull. If all of these are alive by mid-April remove the surplus. The extra

canes, or arms, should be cut > back to two buds from the mail > stem. Canes will develop from ; these buds this year, explains i Hull, and produce the bearing ■ wood for next year’s crop. Grapes i are produced on new wood arising from the live buds of last i year’s growth. Hull says that if pruning is delayed until all danger of freezing weather is past, cut the vine to four long canes and three or four renewal spurs each containing one or two buds. “Bleeding” of cut vines during early spring doesn’t injure the plants. SMALL GRAIN BULLETIN: Recommended varieties of oats, wheat, barley and rye for 1963 planting in Indiana are listed in Research Bulletin 758, “Small Grain Varieties for Indiana,” published by the agricultural experiment station at Purdue University. The bulletin presents yield, test weight, lodging percentage and ’ plant height—two to 5-year averages—from 10 Indiana locations for oats, wheat, and barley. The publication tabulates the varieties recommended or acceptable. Balbo is the only rye recommended. A copy of Research Bulletin 758, “Small Grain Varieties for Indiana,” will be sent free to Indiana residents who request it by writing to Agricultural Publications Office, AES Building, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. (A postal card is sufficient.) Be sure to ask for the publication by number and title. Copies are also available at county extension offices. MORE MORE NATIONAL 4-H CLUB WEEK: National 4-H club week, Mach 29 will signal the start of a membership drive for Indiana’s 1963 4-H enrollment. Harold B. Taylor, state 4-H club leader at Purdue University, reports the 1962 Indiana membership was 93,287. "4-H young citizens in action” will be the theme for the national observance. Through news stori. ies, radio and television programs, ; store window displays and community meetings, purposes and objectives of 4-H will be emphasized. Hoosier 4-H club members will be able to choose from 45 projects this year. Membership is open to any boy or girl between the ages of 10 to 20, inclusive, and enrollment cards may be obtained from the local club leaders or from county cooperative extension offices. In 1962, Indiana 4-H club members enrolled in a total of 216,335 projects. Most popular project for girls and girls were crafts, 18,330 enrollments; wild life, 10,148, garden, 7,492; forestry, 6,561: electric, 10,606; pig, 6,985; beef, 5,113; com, 3,794; dairy, 3,674; and soil and water, 5,341. Most popular projects for girls were foods with 41,432 enrollments, clothing with 31,976 and food preservation with 4,925. This emphasizes the urban trend in 4-H. More than 50 per cent of the members

The Lacombe hog, a new breed of Canadian origin, was allowed entry into the States after February 5,1962, when the export embargo was lifted by the Canadian government. According to a story in The Farm Quarterly, this breed was developed for the specific purpose of crossing with Yorkshires. No individual of the breed can be registered until it has proven its production efficiency in an R & P test. According to the official description of the Canadian Lacombe Breeders Association, the Lacombe is of white color, of bacon-type and with a flop ear. It is low set and

They were assisted by 13,193 boys and girls serving as junior leaders. 4-H LEADERSHIP: Donald Paul Weeks, route 3, Terre Haute, Indiana’s top 4-H boy in leadership, will fly from Indianapolis March 2 to Washington, D. C., where he will report to President Kennedy on achievements of the more than two million 4-H members. x Weeks, a senior air Purdue University, will join five other outstanding 4-H club members for the observance of national 4-H club week, March 2-9. They will visit the White House, March 4. The Purdue senior is 21 years old and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Weeks. He has completed 12 years of club work and 61 projects. His outstanding projects include garden, poultry and electric. He has taken part in 68 judging, 125 demonstration and 6 showmanship contests. He has also completed 6 years of junior leadership. — Tours, dinners and luncheons have been arranged for the 4-H “digntaries.” Indiana’s U. S. Senators Vance Hartlie and Birch Bayh, along with Congressman Richard Roudebush, Noblesville, are expected to greet Weeks. During their capital stay the six 4-H delegates will call upon President Kennedy, secretary of agriculture Orville Freeman and federal extension service administrators. The 4-H’ers will be guests of top business executives in New York City, March 5, 6 and 7, and in Los Angeles, March 8 and 9. The Conrad Hilton Hotel, Chicago, is the donor of the trip.

carries a meaty ham. Mature boars weigh from 600 to 900 pounds and sows from 500 to 800 pounds. The breed is docile, the pigs are easy feeders and the females are good mothers. Similar To Landrace It might be added that it is pretty difficult for any but the expert to distinguish these pigs from the Landrace, except for the fact that they seem to have a bit more substance than the Danish breed. Genetically they are 55 per cent Landrace, 23 per cent Berkshire and 22 per cent Chester White. These committee-designed swine were built to be vigorous and thrifty pork producers. Five specifications were set up for selection: (1) good litter size; (2) good weaning weight; (3) good rate of growth; (4) carcass quality; and (5) feed efficiency. Carcase Quality First Special emphasis was placed on carcass quality with litter size and feed efficiency being rated only slightly below that factor in terms 'of importance. Good feet and legs-, udder development also came in for special consideration. The registration requirements call for a “minimum of 14 wellspaced teats on every individual, whether male or female.” Hie American Lacombe Breeders Association has been started with headquarters at DeWitt, lowa. Like any new product, Lacombes are going to have to prove themselves with the customers, but if they do as well in the Cora Belt as they have in the Canadian provinces, it looks like they will be here to stay. Bloomfield Mon Dies As Fire Sweeps Home BLOOMFIELD, Ind. (UPD— John Moore, 78, Bloomfield, burned to death today in a fire that swept his one-room home where he lived alone. . Greene County Coroner Charles Greves said the death was accidental. Origin of the fire was undetermined, authorities said. ' Moore’s half-brother, Noah, saw the fire from his home about 75 yards away and summoned help. Clothes Care It is sometimes a good idea to let your dry-cleaner know just what caused the spot or stain on some particular carticle of clothing. Here’s agbod way to do it: Mark the spot plainly by pinning a piece of paper to it, noting information about the cause of the spot.

wMrqflML' AG ALUMNI MEET — Charles French, professor and assistant head of the department of agricultural economics at Purdue University, will speak at a meeting of the Adams county Purdue ag alumni chapter at 7 p. m.

Purple Pennings By: Patsy Lee Leaden County Extension Agent Home Economics We wil lhave to stage an Easter parade in the county so that everyone may see the lovely spring hats which the women made last week. This week on Thursday the Adams county Home Demonstration club county officers will attend the district meeting at Kendallville. Thus far, Mrs. Merle Kuhn, county president, Mrs. Kermit Yoder, county treasurer, and Mrs. Erwin Fuelling, county secretary are planning to attend. The travel committee will meet at 9:30 on March 1 at the home of Mrs. Earl Chase. LESSON LEADERS: On page twenty-three , of the February “Indiana Farmer” there is an idea for keeping playthings at hand when a child is ill. COTTON FABRICS: Shifts travel best in cotton suede or bordered seerscuker, but you will see them in everything from denim to matelasse. Sun-seekers will probably make shifts in splashy prints of terry cloth or pique. Double knit cottons are expected to be quite popular as they are wrinkle - free and more stable than single knits and especially good for travelling. Denim is really at its height ranging from woolens which look ‘like denim to chambray weights to sturdy heavy weights. It can be combined with calico, gingham paisley and bandana cotton prints in reversible wrap skirts or other casual clothes. Even cotton knits have the look of denim this year. love seats stage A COMEBACK: t Call them what you will — love seats, short sofas, or settees are gaining in popularity. The size of the two-seat sofa is especially appealing to homemakers who have small rooms. A short sofa often fits in where a regular sized one would not. It’s also a perfect spot for mother’s story telling. You can find attractive short sofas in all designs at a retail store. Or you may find a reclaimable love seat in an attic. Then as Miss Ezelle Johnson, Purdue University home furnishing specialist, states: “Use elbow grease and imagination to fit it into your decorating plan.” LENT: Today being Shrove Tuesday, I’m sure by tomorrow morning you be looking for some new lenten recipes.
