micronutrient needs for corn. The trip to the agronomy farm will be very much worthwhile. 4-H JUNIOR LEADER TRAINING CAMP: Eight Adams county 4-H junior leaders will be attending the Northeastern Indiana 4-H junior leader training camp at Camp Limberlost on Oliver Lake. The junior leaders attending are: Carol Tonner, Susy Zeigler, Karen Bollenbacher, j Kenneth Selking, Don Egley, Brad Bayles, Judy Bultemeier, and Kay j Bultemeier. They will then assist with the Adams-Wells counties 4-H camp June 23 to 26 at the same camp site. FARM MANAGEMENT TOUR. JULY 17-18: Four high level management farm operations will be observed on the annual state farm management tour, July 17-18. In addition, an economic outlook banquet will be held the night of July 17 at Ball State College. * First stop on the tour, sponsored by Purdue University’s agricultural economics department and extension agents in the New Castle district, will be Wednesday afternoon, July 17, at the 850-acre John McDonald farm, five miles south of Muncie and one-half mile west of state road 3. Hie McDonald farm has a cattle feeding operation for 2,000 animals yearly and a cropping program of 750 acres of corn, 50 acres of wheat and 17 acres of oats. The morning of Thursday, July 18, at 9 a. m., the tour will be resumed at the Mac Townsend 3000acre swine farm, about five miles southwest of Marion. This farm features a modern set of farrowing and finishing facilities. At 11:15 a. m., visitors will view the Ernest and Don Gwinn farm near Lapel. This farm features a low-cost feeding operation and a twice a year swine farrowing program.

Lunch will be served at 12:30 p. m. at Linders, intersection 67 and 9, south of Anderson. Thursday at 2:15 p. m., tour members will visit the Byron Nixon, Jr., farm, one and a half miles south of Yorktown. This farm markets or feeds 25,000 feeder pigs a year. The cropping program includes 1,200 acres of corn, 100 acres of beans, 120 acres of wheat and 500 acres of pasture and woods on land of which 492 acres are owned by Nixon. He rents an additional 1,508 acres on a 50-50 crop and/ or cash basis for 14 different land owners. Overnight accomodations will be available for tour members in Muncie. Tickets for the banquet and luncheon will be available after July 1 at county extension office, or from E. E. Caron, agricultural economics department, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. DRAINAGE AND WATER CANSERVATION FIELD DAY, JULY 31 and/ AUGUST 1: It is proper that the Riddles should be hosts for this field day, says Don Sissen, Purdue University extension agricultural engineer. The Riddles believe good drainage is basic to good farming. During the past four years they have installed nearly five miles of drain tile on the 155-acre tract where the field day will be held. Most of the land on the field day site is nearly level and the soils are variable, including muck, silty clay loams and sandy loams. Practically all of this land needs artificial drainage before crops can be grown profitably. Because part of the farm slopes one way and part the opposite direction, the Riddles installed two —10-inch tile mains as outlets, one draining in each direction. They are working toward a tile layout that when completed, the tile lateral spacing will be about 50 feet on the difficult-to-drain clay loam soils. “We installed some of the tile lines on a 100-feet spacing,” comments Asa, “but we believe we’ll have to run another line between those later.”

■ THE DECATPRWUtY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

About 10,000 feet of additional tile will be installed during the field day. On the wet silty clay soils there are numerous shallow depressions where surface water still stands too long, The Riddles are quick to point this out. Even during the relatively dry spring of 1963, legumes, grasses and small grains have drowned out of these pockets. “We think the surface drain to be installed during the field day will help,” says Stanley, “and we’re really interested in land smoothing to improve the surface drainage. That’s a practice that will be new to this area.” In addition to demonstrations of land improvement practices, other features of the field day will be air tours and exhibits, reminds Sisson. PRE-EMERGENCE HERBICIDES NEED RAINFALL: Since most of the annual weed seeds germinate in the upper 1 inch of soil, the pre-emergence herbicides you applied to the soil surface must be moved into this soil layer by rainfall. It not only requires rain for this movement, but the movement must take place within 2-3 weeks after treatment for effective annual weed control. Although the amount of rainfall varies with each chemical, it usually requires 14 to % inch. Die more soluble materials such as Randox and Alanap-3 requires less rainfall than do the more insoluble ones such as Atrazine. To take this a step further) in general, the granules or dry form of these psiemeryence herbicides require more rainfall than the sprays for activities. Because of this, granules increase the effectifeness under normal rainfall but could greatly reduce the effectiveness of the more insoluble herbicides especially in dry seasons. Rainfall is a necessity to obtain effective weed control from preemergence herbicides; however, excessive amounts can cause failures. An understanding of these facts will not allow you can control the rainfall Variable, but it may allow you to make a wiser selection of the herbicide to use in the future. It may also explain some failures or poor weed control in Indiana this, year. ’ Several arhas were without adequate rainfall for activation during the first 3 weeks after planting. CONTROL BAGWORMS NOW: — Bagworms are easier to control while they are small, thus preventing extensive damage to trees, and shrubs, according to Prof. Donald L. Schuder, Purdue University research entomologist. Control with insecticides should begin soon after bagworms hatch from the overwintering eggs. The bagworm larvae hatch the last part of May in southern Indiana, the first of June in the central area, and the first week of June in the more northern parts of the state. Schuder suggests applying malathion at the rate of 2-4 teaspoons per gallon of water. This material should not be applied to Cannaert junipers. Other materials suggested are effective, .such as, diazinon, toxaphene, DDVP and lead arsenate. DDT is not effective on this species. Bagworms live in spindle-shap-ed silken bags, often festooned with bits of twigs, foliage and berries from the host plant. As the larvae feed they pull the bag along with them. As the caterpillars grow they enlarge the big until they mature in mid-August. At this time the bag is about 1% to 2 inches in length. When the larvae have grown to this size they are difficult to control with insecticides, but can be controlled by picking off the bags and burning them. The entomologist suggests spray-

SPECIAL WASHINOTON REPORT President’s Aide Outlines Plan for More Prosperity > By Walter W. Heller T CfiwnMn, PrwMro/’r Council of Economic Adviteri

j An outside observer of the American economy might, st first, ) i •fail to see the economic problem which faces us today. After ■ ' all, during the last two years, our annual rate of GNP has .

advanced over S6O billion, 1.7 million more workers are at work, personal incomes have I risen almost SSO billion, profits before taxes 1 have increased from below S4O billion to over SSO billion. ’ Moreover, We are in the 25th month of recovery, and we expect expansion to continue throughout 1963. Yet, America is faced with an economic challenge of major dimensions. I The plain fact is that for over J years, the American economy has been operating at much • less than full steam. Not only has our rate of

.‘growth been slower than that ‘ of our allies and J and less than that which is api propriate to a great and proud t nation, but it has even lagged • behind the growth of our pro- , ductive capabilities. | Today, for example, the sea- : tonally adjusted unemployment ! rate stands at 6.1 percent of our j labor force—a level which used I to be associated only with re»cessions, not with the beginning of the third year of steady recovery. Our labor force and its productivity are both growing: if we are to find jobs both for new workers and today’s unemployed, and if we are to keep our plants working at capacity levels, the American economy must grow —and grow more rapidly than it has in recent years. f The drag of Federal taxes has been an important factor in holding down our economic { growth in recent years. The Federal income tax is still geared to the needs of war and the fear of inflation. Some of its past virtues have become its present vices. Instead of skimming off inflationary dollars, the income ! tax is cutting into consumer '' markets and weakening the incentives for investment in plant and equipment. The high tax "take” and the high tax rates have to take a large share of the blame for the slowdown of recovery in 1962 and the stubborn persistence of high rates of unemployment and excess capacity. | The Administration’s tax program would do much to remove

ing plants which have been infested with bagworms in previous years, or which are highly susceptible, such as junipers and arbor vitae, early in the season. This is particularly important on. evergreens, since plants which are defoliated usually die. It is the old story, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Spraying must be thorough so that all parts of the plant are wet with spray.

the shackles from the American economy and help American initiative, enterprise, and industriousness express themselves in higher output and incomes, more jobs, and greater profits. When fully effective, this proposal would mean permanent net tax cuts for every income group which would add over $8 billion to consumer disposable incomes, and a net cut of some S2J4 billion in corporate tax liabilities. Past history clearly confirms that taxpayers would put this money to work in strengthening the economy. Americans put between 92 and 94 percent of their income into consumer markets, the rest into savings. The tax cuts would touch off a chain reaction of consumption and investment of some 3 to 4 times the amount of the tax reduction. Business investment would be stimulated both by expanding sales, higher profits, and increased incentives. Rising production generated by rising consumer and investment spending would mean more jobs for American workers and fuller use of our plants and factories. In today’s economic situation the stimulus of the Administration’s tax proposals would express itself in increased output and jobs—not in increased prices. Moreover, should a sluggish economy once again tumble into recession, not only will jobs and incomes and profits suffer—but Federal deficits will soar far beyond the levels contemplated.

cide. State police said Mrs. Elizabeth Gregor, wife of a tractor salesman in this Western Pennsylvania farming community, killed the children, including 19-month-old twins, then telephoned her husband at work on the pretext that one of the children was ill. When Joseph Gregor, 52, walked in the door of their home, she killed him and telephoned coroner Clinton Atwell to come to the house. Before Atwell arrived with police, she apparently tied a string to the trigger of the shotgun and killed herself by pulling the string. Atwell found Gregor’s body by the front door and Mrs. Gregor’s nearby. In another room, the bodies of Joseph Jr., 14; Thomas, 12, and Rosemary, 10, were found. The dead twins were found in their beds. The older children were Mrs. Gregor’s by a previous marriage. Police found a series of notes in the house which they said disclosed that Mrs. Gregor had been planning the slayings for some time. Atwell said the shootings occurred shortly after Mrs. Gregor asked her daughter-in-law, Mrs.

Central Soya Has Increased Sales FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Increased sales for the three-month period ended May 31, were reported today for Central Soya by Harold W. McMillen, board chairman, and Dale W. McMillen, Jr., president They reported sales of $87,693,651 for the third quarter, an increase from sales of $85,862,532 in the second quarter and sales of SBO,-552-097 in the third quarter a year ago. For the current ninemonth period, sales totaled $252,612,658, as compared to $235,378,798 for the first nine months of the previous year. Net profits for the third quarter were $1,314,557, after provision for federal and state income taxes in the amount of $1,347,371. This fits of $1,757,427 and with $1,768,compares with second quarter pro--196 earned in the third quarter a year ago. For the nine-month period, net profits were $4,792,897, compared with the $4,906,687 earned in the first nine months of the previous year. Per share earnings for the third quarter were 45 cents (based upon 2,944,115 shares outstanding on May 31.) which compares with earnings of flO cents per share in both the second quarter and in the third quarter a year ago. For the nine months, per share earnings were $1.63, a decrease of 4 cents from the first nine months in the previous year. The decrease in third quarter earnings was attributed to the very narrow margains that have prevailed in soybean processing and grain merchandising during recent months. Hl Neighbors! The regular board meeting of the Adams Cuonty Soil & Conservation District was held Monday evening in the District office, according to Hugh David Mosser, chairman. All supervisors, with the exception of Paul Kohne, attended the meeting. Milton Spence, Work Unit Conservationist, Sam Bell. Conservation Technician and Leo Seltenright, County Agent also attended. Preparations ate well underway tar the district’s 4-H Fair exhibit for the year. The district’s exhibit for last year’s 4-H Fair will be used in Randolph and Noble Counties this year. A letter was read from C. E. Swain, State Conservationist, commending the work tinit conservationist and assistant and the district for their outstanding progress and leadership in the past year. A budget for 1964 was prepared to be submitted to the county Council and Commissioners to continue the part-time clerk in Adams County. Oliver Lake Conservation Camp applications were reviewed. Applications will be accepted until the end of next week. Any boy between the age of 12 through 14 that is interested in attending the camp should contact the County Agent’s or Soil Conservation Service office.

Purple Pennings Patey Lee Leaders County Extension Agent Home Economics Last week over fifty Adams county homemakers attended the annual homemaker’s conference at Purdue. The first day the Adams county home demonstration chorus participated in the evening program. A banquet was held one of the evenings at which many people who have participated in the “Fifty Years of Learning and Service” were honored. These attending the banquet from Adams county were Mrs. Merle Kuhn, Adams county home demonstration club president, Mrs. Theron Fenstermaker, past state recording secretary, and Patsy Lee Leaders. NEW DAIRY PRODUCTS: June being the Dairy month, I thought I would mention some new dairy products which food scientists at my alma mater, Michigan State University, have developed recently. One product is frozen whipped cream that comes in a rigid or plastic container and stores in the freezer compartment of the re- • frigerator. All you need do is defrost it a few minutes and dip some of the already whipped topping on your dessert. Then return a few minutes and dip some of the already whipped topping on your dessert. Then return the unused portion to the freezer. Instant cheese which is made from powdered chedder and blue cheeses is another convenience type product. All you do is just add water ’and stir. Dagano cheese is already on sale in lower Michigan. It is a Swiss type cheese with a nutty flavor. As the Dagano cheese melts easily it is good for pirTss and toasted cheese sandwiches. Frumil is a dairy fruit mix that fe softer than American cheese but harder than cream cheese. It would be good as a snack, an appetizer or with fruit for dessert. Dieters take notice. The food scientists have developed a cream replacement that is made from skim milk and costs no more than no fat dry milk. 9 “CR” «tel A “D” For Milk: To keep fresh milk at its best, follow the rule of 3 “C’S” and a “D”. Keep milk clean, cold, covered and dark. Milk holds both food value and flavor best when kept cold, states Marrile Allen, Purdue University food specialist. Stored near the freezing unit in a refregerator. milk keeps its good quality and flavor for three or four days, and perhaps a little longer. Good home care of milk is important, Miss Allen emphasides. If milk is delivered to your door, bring it in and refrigerate it promptly. Milk loses riboflavin quickly ud may develop an offflavor if it is left in the sun — especially if it is in a clear glass container. Remember too, that "left in the sun” can mean on your kitchen table as well as your doorstep. Avoid mixing new milk with old, unless you use it immediately. Bacteria that cause stale flavor increase in stored milk, even in .pasteurized milk in good storage conditions. If milk happens to freeze — in the refrigerator or on the doorstep in the winter — it’s still safe to use. That is, unless the seal is broken and dirt has gotten in. Freezing, however, does not harm milk’s food value but it does change milk’s texture. If you have something to sell dr trade use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
