So, all leaders are asked to get their enrollments in by the last of this week. The first junior leader meeting is set for March 25 and the 4-H officers training school is planned for April 1. DAIRY TOUR IN WELLS COUNTY: I'm sure some of our dairymen will be interested in the dairy tour planned for Wells County on Thursday March 14. One of the stops will show sleeping stalls or so-call-ed free stalls in a loose housing barn. Other features of the tour are forage handling equipment and insect control. Specialists on the tour will be Norb Moeller, Extension Dairyman and Dave Matthew, Extension Entomologist. The tour starts at 9:30 a. m. at the Richard Fiechter farm north of Craigville on County Road 500 N about % mile north of State Road 301. Second stop is 10:30 at John and Gerald Fiechter farm southeast of Craigville on County Road 100 N about % mile east of State Road 301. The third stop is at 11:30 at the Charles Neuensch wander farm on State Road 301 about 1% miles south of State Road 124. Lunch at Dutch Mill and afternoon discussion on dairy management and insect control. TOP DRESS WHEAT: Farmers who haven’t yet topdressed their wheat have plenty of time to apply fertilizer points out Marvin W. Phillips, Purdue University extension agronomist. Supplemental nitrogen may be applied as late as March 20 in southern Indiana and as late as April 20 in northern and central sections of the state. Recommended rate of application on sandy soils where wheat follows corn, soybeans or small grains is 50 pounds actual nitrogen is also recommended on light colored (low organic matter), loamy textured soils where wheat follows corn. On silt loams and heavier textured soils and dark colored loams 40 pounds actual nitrogen is recommended where wheat follows com and 20 to 30 pounds where the preceding crop was soybeans or small grain. Either solid nitrogen feritilizer of non-pressure solutions (urea and ammonium nitrate) may be used. If adequate amounts of phosphorus and potassium were not applied in the row at seeding time, a complete fertilizer, such as 15-15-15, may be used for topdressing. This helps establish legumes seeded in the wheat; however, this treatment is recommended only on very low fertility soils. AGRICULTURAL CLINIC Some 400 Hoosier bankers are expected to attend the 19th annual Agricultural Clinic at Purdue University, March 13-14. This year’s program will emphasize the outlook for agriculture, profitable farm organization, adjustment to socio - economic change and effective means bank-

RAYMOND BECHER, JR., today received an award for submitting a winning idea in a nation-wide farm idea contest sponsored by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Purpose of the contest is to stimulate the spreading of ideas for doing things easier or quicker on the farm. Becher's winning idea showed how a combination feeder for calves could be easily and inexpensively built. Announcement of the award, a $50.00 check, was made by C. A. Helgason, Goodyear’s district manager in Indianapolis. Helgason pointed out that entries are judged for the merit of the idea. Becher is one of three winners who will be featured in the company’s bi-monthly dealer magazine, FARM PROGRESS. A total of 18 such awards are being made each year, Helgason explained. The check was presented to Becher by Bill Cast, manager of Bluffton Tire Service, a Goodyear dealership.

There’s no charge for attending the Clinic. PEACE CORPS The success and popularity of Peace Corps Volunteers working in community action programs in Colombia, the first country in Latin America to receive Peace Corps help, now has 167 volunteers working in rural and urban community action programs. In January, 60 volunteers arrived in Colombia to assist in high school physical education and university teaching in English. Additional volunteers are now in training to aid in the establishment and management of rural cooperatives and credit unions and to replace the first volunteers in community action, whose two year Peace Corps assignment will be completed in June. The Colombian Extension Service had developed new and bet-, ter agricultural techniques at its experimental farms. However, a shortage of personnel had made it impossible to pass these improved methods on to the individual farmer. The Colombian government has asked for 100 men and women with rural backgrounds, training in agriculture or heme economics, and experience in farming and bomemaking. The Volunteers will apply their skills and know-how to the immediate probdems facing the small farmer or campesino. How can the land be improved — fertilizer, crop rotation, irrigation, drainage or water control? How can production be increased —more efficient methods of planting and harvesting, pest control, or new varieties of fruits and vegetables? How can the income be supplemented —truck gardening or small projects in swine, poultry or rabbits? And finally, how can the living standard for the family be raised—home improvement, health and sanitation practices, or a more nutritious diet? Selected Volunteers will receive 12 weeks of special training in agricultural extension and community development methods at the Peace Corps Training Center at the University of New Mexico. Twelve hours of college credit will be awarded for the training course which win also inclure Latin American studies, Spanish, U. S. history, health and physical education. The first fifty Volunteers will begin training in April, the second in June. Once in Colombia the Volunteers’ assignments will range from the rich tropical lowlands of the coast to the high mountainous regions of the Andean plateau. The volunteers will be living in municipios or county seats and visiting the surrounding farms by horse, bicycle, or motor bike. In many instances, they will be sharing small houses with other Peace Corps Volunteers working on similar programs. Married couples are encouraged to apply if they have no childrgn under 18, both are willing toZfrve as full-scale volunteers and both have skills which can be used on the project. For application blanks and information on this and other Peace Corps programs, see me at Post Office Building, or write Peace Corps, Agricultural Division, Washington 25, D. C.

TV OVEN: Now there’s a TV oven for quick meals. This small handy oven operates on a single automatic LP gas top burner of the range. It lifts out of the way when not in use. It’s ideal for heating frozen dinners, warming baby foods, cakes, biscuits and rolls. What will they think of next? SHADES FOR KITCHEN CABINETS: How many times have you bumped your head on an open cabinet door in your kitchen? Here’s an idea — from housing specialists at the University of Illinois — that can help you avoid such mishaps. Take off those cabinet doors and replace them with a pull shade. You’ll find it's easy to draw up and down as you use the cabinet. And, it saves the room that would be taken up by doors swinging on hinges. The shade can be made of bamboo for a natural wood effect. Or, if you prefer white, you can use a plastic or canvas shade. Some of the newer printed shades are nice. They can be used to add color and interest to your kitchen decor. TV CELEBRITY: Ruth Morris, Consumer Marketing Agent in Allen County will appear March 13 on the Wayne Roth-, geb Show with a Special Feature on Surplus Commodities. On March 15 she will be on the Ann Colone Show with a show called “National Rice ’Specials” March 17 to 23 is National Rice Week so Ruth will probably have some new and tasty rice recipes to give you. RECIPES: The following recipe I found to be quite a tasty way to serve Tuna. For weight watchers one serving has approximately 280 calories — this served with a tossed green salad which has low calorie dressing, vinegar or lemon juice one would be permissible on your diet. Just remember to chew it slowly as you would probably be tempted with another serving if you “gobbled” it. To the recipe I added % tsp. of basil and ¥♦ tsp. thyme. If you are just beginning to us e herbs, you may want to half of those amounts. Without the herbs the recipe isn’t too exciting. Eggs 3 Tuna, chunk sty}« 13 Mushrooms, sliced 4 ♦». Parsley, chopped 1 tbsp. Tomato, med. cut itt in. slices American cheese 4 slices Mashe potatoes 2 cups

Hi Neighbors! In the spring a young man’s fancy toms to thoughts of love — so the poets tell us. The question is what thoughts do we, that are past the “young” stage, have? It is safe to assume that our thoughts are equally as serious. One problem that has been with us almost as long as the young man’s problem is the one we read about in the newspaper each spring. On the front page of last Thursday’s Decatur Daily Democrat was this headline “Flood Waters Spread Death, Destruction.’’ The article said that the death toll from three days of flooding rose to 21. It went on to say that flood damage in one of the valleys, Chartiers Creek, was expected to reach $lO million dollars. In Ohio (the article stated) there were more than 100 stricken communties. Is this teriffic cost of lives and property necessary? _ At the present time 62 small watershed projects (P. L. 566) are in various stages of construction in Indiana. The one closest to home is file Flat Rock Creek project. Die Soil Conservation Service’s preliminary estimates of this project is about $3 million dollars. The federal Government would pay 94% of the actual construction cost on this job, if the local people want to pay their share. Diis is a lot of money, but remember one flood such as we had this past week could cost more in lives and property. you may have. The Holthouse Drug Co. is sponsoring the meeting. 1

U. S. Citizenship Sought For Factor LOS ANGELES (UPI) — U.S. citizenship was sought today for John (Jake the Barber) Factor by the same government agency that only last December recommended his deportation. Factor, 70, Chicago gangland kidnaping figure of 1933 turned investor and philanthropist, could be granted immediate citizenship if a petition filed Monday in U.S. District Court is approved. Die petition, filed by an attorney for the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, comes before US. Judge Jesse W. Curtis next Monday. Die same agency recommended Dec. 18 that Factor be deported on the basis of his 1943 conviction in Cedar Rapids, lowa, on multiple counts of using the mails to defraud. JFK Granta Pardon Although Factor served six years in prison for the 1943 mail fraud conviction, he was best known for his part in an alleged gangland kidnaping in Chicago in 1933. Factor maintained he was kidnaped by Roger Touhy, who was shot to death on a Chicago

street 22 days after his release from prison in 1959. Touhy had served 26 years for his part in the kidnaping. Builds Real Estate Empire In 1949 Factor moved to California, borrowed $5,000 and built a real estate empire worth millions within a few years. He became known as a philanthropist and one of his attorneys stated in court that Factor has given away more than $3 million to various medical clinics and non-profit organizations. Those contributions created an uproar when it was learned a few days after the presidential pardon that congressional records showed Factor had contributed $22,000 to recent Democratic campaigns. However, two days later Factor produced a photograph of a $5,000 check he contributed to the 1960 Nixon-Lodge campaign thereby countering Republican criticism of the pardon.
