Soap or Detergent? The average housewife doesn’t pay much attention to whether the product she uses is a soap or a detergent, but it could be a very important factor. Soaps break down after awhile in sewage plants or in natural streams or in cesspools. But modern detergents do not. They continue to foam, and foam, and FOAM! In many highly populated areas, Iffte New York City, the drinking water foams as it leaves the tap, because the city’s water is polluted with detergents. . : Why do most housewives in Decatur use detergents? Because they foam in hard water, as well as in soft water. Decatur’s water, even that “softened” in the city plant, is actually quite hard. Water from former wells was so hard, in fact, that it could not be economically softened. Soap and detergents work equally well in soft water. This has led to the installation of more than four million home water softeners in the United States. About 85% of the nation’s drinking water is hard. While detergent manufacturers work on .developing detergents that will break down without polluting the nation’s water supply, Congress is considering a detergent control bill that would ban the sale of detergents that do not readily decompose. The alternative would be foaming, soapy-tast-« ing drinking water for most of urban America! That is certainly not desirable. The nation spends billions each year to lesson industrial contamination of water only to discover that the all-prevading housewife is more effectively and completely polluting the supply than than any other ’’culprit”! Housewives can help lesson the chance of drinking water with a head oh it by using softened water and soap, or softened water and detergent, since the amount of detergent used can be reduced to one-third by using softened water.

0 —— ? 0 Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee Q 0 Handy Container Women who carry a single key in their handbags will be able to locate it more quickly if it is kept in a snap-lid eyeglass case. This idea appiles to a small bunch of keps as well, and is something to keep in mind for almost any small item carried in a large purse. The case is also a good container for bus tokens and meter coins. Nails in Wallboard A sure way of protecting wallboard from a slip of the hammer when you are countersinking the nails is to place the round end of a ball-peen hammer against the head of each partly-driven nail. Then hit the flat face with another hammer and your nail is set. The slight dample left by the ball makes a perfect surface for spackling to completely hide the nail heads. Pictures on Drapes Children’s room needs new draperies? Make white or colored muslin (bed sheets are good) into draperies and thransf**r gay pictures onto them as desired. Color the pictures with crayons and then lay ‘•'plain white paper over the finished pictures. Press with a hot iron, the excess will melt onto the paper, and the pictures on the draperies will be permanent.

ASCS Farm Notes

1963 ACP PROGRAM: Farmers with conservation problems are urged to call at the county ASCS office while funds are available for cost-share assistance. About one-half of the total cost off each project may be approved by the county committee, within limitations. A request for cost-sharing m’ist be filed in the county office before a practice is approved. Approved ACP practices in Adams county consist of the application of limestone (in accordance with a Purdue soil test), installation of tile drainage, open drain-* age, sod waterways, ponds, (wildlife or iivestock water), chutes, crop spillways, drop inlets for the protection of outlets that dispose of excess water, permanent vegetative cover, contour farming, standard and diversion t§£races, development or restoration of shallow water areas for wildlife, and vegetative cover providing wildlife food and habitat. , The purpose of the program is to help achieve additional conservation on land now in agricultural production rather than to bring more land into production. The program is not applicable to the development of new or additional farmland by measures such as drainage, irrigation, and lanfl clearing. Adams county farmers received approximately $700,000 . in. costshare payments in 1962. ACP COST-SHARE ASSISTANCE FOR POOLING AGREEMENTS: Farmers may join together under pooling agreements to perform practices which, by conserving or improving the agricultural resources of the community, will directly solve a mutual conservation problem on the farms of the participants. ' Any number of farmers may join their efforts and resources under a pooling agreement to solve a mutual conservation problem. While pooling agreements in Adams county include an average of five farms per agreement, in some instances an agreement may be used if the problem involves as few as two farms' Thirty pooling agreements, involving 210 farms, have been completed with AC cost-share assistance in Adams county since 1959. The first step in filing for costshare assistance for - a pooling agreement, is to contact the local SCS office to determine the feasabiUty of the agreement. The actual application must be filed in the county ASCS office. ‘FAMILY FARM’ WORTH PRESERVING, SAYS SECRETARY: The discussion..over whether the family farm or the large-scale, corporate farm will win the battle for survival as the dominant form' of agricultural production'Tgnores the facts as they exist today, secretary of agriculture. Orville L. Freeman recently told a congressional committee. “Instead' of wasting away,” he said, “the family farm is a growing dynamic force in agricultural production. It has kept pace fully with the vast increases in efficiency made by agriculture as a whole. As a result, food prices are the lowest in relation to consumer income in history. The average American family spends only about 10 per cent of its take-home pay for food, and eats better than ever before. “However, low food prices—and the family farm—could both be lost if the family farjn is driven out of existence by forces outside of farmifig—by overwhelming disparity of .bargaining power of suppliers and consumers of farmers; by vertical integration of farm production with food processing or distribution, or both; by contract or captive farming; or even by an imposed incapacity to fit the efficiently produced output of small farms into the narrow requirements of big processing and distributing companies. Without strong farm bargaining capacity tq. offset these growing forces, both the family farmer and’the American consumer are threatened.” The labeling of a “family farm” as one with “40 acres and a mule” or “with a homestead of 160 acres” is now archaic, the secretary pointed out. The family farm’of today, he said, “can be and is big or little in terms of acres, capital investment or dollars of output. The distinguishing feature of tfjp family farm is the incentive that ownership and management of a farming operation rest in the farm family that provides most of the work. “Since the members of the average farm family provide 1.5 man-years of their own labor on the farm, we classify all those farms that use less than 1.5 manyears of hired labor as family farms. Some of these are efficient -and profitable,, some, are not. Some have adequate capital, some do not. Some are well managed and adequately financed, some are not. But they are all family farms —and we classify them as such as long as they hire less than 1.5 manyears of labor. "inherent in this family farm concept is the spirit of enterprise that cares for and conserves the land, carries with ft the ambition to apply science and technology because of the rewards of improved efficiency: ft implies a desire of the farmer to invest in and improve his community where so

much of his family’s life is cen- • tered. “I believe the family farm sysr tern is worth preserving because it has social worth as well as : economic value. But if we are I realistic, we must recognize that i the family farm will continue only if it is an efficient producer of ag- ; ricultural products in terms of > current scientific, technological and management practices.” Figures presented in the secretary’s testimony showed that in : 1959, the year of the last farm ■ census, almost 96 per cent of the : nation’s total 3.7 million farms ■ were “family farms” which ac- , counted for more than 70 per cent of all farm commodity marketings, : valued at 1959 prices received by . farmers. LATEST FIGURES SHOW SUGAR SUPPLIES ABOVE CONSUMPTION NEED: As of the close of business June 30, sugar supplies from foreign countries—either shipped or committed for this year—amounted to 4,642,000 tons, about 99 per cent of the total of all foreign quotas, the department of agriculture has announced. These quantities, together with available domestic supplies of 5,703,000 tons, assure consumers to-' tai supplies of about 10,345,000 tons, or approximately 550,000 tons more than will be consumed this year. FARM OWNERS: More farmland is owned by the farmers themselves these days. Estimates show that farmers actively engaged in the business owned only 54 per cent of the nation’s farmland in 1935. In 1954 the figure was 62 per cent. It dropped to 59 per Sent in 1959, probably because of the more restrictive definition of a farm adopted in the 1959 census. FARM LABORERS: Years ago, all a hired farm hand p • o Modern Etiquette By Robert* Lee 0 -0 Q. When engaging a prominent person to be the principal speaker at a club dinner or luncheon, is it proper to stipulate to hime the maximum length of time to speak? A. Yes; discuss this ahead of time with the guest speaker, who ■ will then know what portion of the well-regulated program he is to fill. , Q. I am approaching the end of a course in a dancing studio, and am uncertain-’as to whether I’m 1 supposed to tip my instructor. Will 1 you please enlighten me? ‘ A. No. tip is expected. The in--1 structor is a professional who is 1 paid a salary for teaching. Q. My son is to be married at seven thirty in the evening. What ■ should he and the other men in the wedding party wear — tails : or tuxedos? A. Either is correct. The im- [ portant thing, of course, is that ■ all the men dress alike. Q. Just how is the spoon used when served with coffee or tea? > A. It is for the purpose of stir- . ring beverage, and NOT for con- . veying the liquid to your mouth, t It -should never be used to sip the , beverage spoonful by spoonful. . After stirring, the spoon should be placed on one side of the saucer— I never, of course, left in the cup. , Q.

needed was a strong back. Today, of the million and a half men hired to work tor wages on farms for at least 25 days, almost half are experienced in some mechanical skill, either in major repair and maintenance or the operation of farm machinery. About one-third of the men run tractors or trucks while only one out of three works at unskilled hand labor. On a regional basis, the south has the highest proportion of unskilled farm laborers-760 per cent of the region’s farm working force. SECRETARY’S DEPARTURE STATEMENT: Secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Freeman departed at 3:05 p.m. July 12, for a month-long study of agricultural areas in the Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. Since the first people-to-people exchange was inaugurated in 1958, 15 groups of U. S. agricultural leaders hive traveled to the Soviet Union and 19 Russian groups have visited this country. “We leave today for a monthlong study tour of agriculture in the Soviet Union and in Poland, Rumania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. We know something of the agficulutre of Russia, but very lit- ' tie about agriculture in the four other nations. “President Kennedy said recently that the winds of change are blowing in Eastern Europe . . and It is especially true in the agricultural policies and programs of these countries. “In a world where the major problem of most people is to get enough food to eat, it is essential that we be apprised of the progress—and the changes which may add to or detract from that progress ■ — in the agricultural programs of the Eastern European nations. “It is important that the American farmer and the American food industry have a close, up-to-date awareness of developments in agriculture in all areas of the world —and especially so in Eastern Europe. In this regard, the economists in our working party wish to make estimates of the increased capital investment necessary to make Eastern European agriculture more productive, and . therefore more competitive in the world markets. We know, for example,, that any substantial expension in

markets for farm products must come through world trade since our domestic markets generally expand only as rapidly as our' population grows. Our agricultural trade and aid programs can be * affected by farm developments in these Eastern European countries. “In order to facilitate agricul-j tural trade around the world—andi to acquire useful information which I can help American farmers — we maintain the world’s best of gathering agricultural information. We believe this trip will help augment *our current information about an important area, and we are hopeful that it will further expand the gathering of useful scientific information. “Few people realize that many of the food commodities now produced in the United States' are native to Eastern Europe. Thus, it is likely that natural enemies of pests which attack these crops are present in these areas. We currently are_making intensive studies of biological and other less hazardous means of controlling insect and plant pests, and* we should seek to add to this search the biological information from all areas of the world. Our scientists would like to remove the present barriers to biological exploration of these areas to discover additional wild plants, germ plasms, pest and weed destroying insects and disease resistant crops that might be imported into this country for further study and experimentation. “By keeping open the channels of communication and contact at all levels, we at least assure ourselves of peaceful progress in many ways and prepare ourselves for potential economic competition as well.” TRI-STATE FIELD DAY: Observe demonstrations of consevation . . . attend the tri-state drainage and water conservation field day at the, Stanley Riddle farm, near Albion, July 31 and August 1.
