County Agent’s Corner

By: Ernest J. Lesluk County Extension Agent Agriculture 4-H & FFA COMMERCIAL PIG PROJECT: A 4-H and FFA commercial swine feeding project has been developed for the Fort W?yne District. The project is designed for young people with previous swine, experience and preferably 14 years of age. A member may enroll not. less than twenty pigs with no maximum limit, according to Ernest J. Lesiuk, county extension agent. Enrollment cards* are available from vocational ag instructors, county extension agents or production credit representatives. The member must be enrolled prior to May 15. The project coincides withjne district commercial beef project and is aimed at giving the member practical experience in raising pigs. The members will keep records along with feeding and housing the pigs separately from other pigs on the farm. - Summaries of the records will be completed by October 15. The records will then be graded and ' awards presented at an annual banquet. Awards will be given for lowest cost per 100 lbs. feain, most complete and accurate records, most return per pound feed fed, and best carcass data. ’ In selecting feeder calves, consider carefully the relative prices of feeders of various ages, weights, and grades and their quality, uniformity and condition. The available feed supply is a factor in determining the type of steers and kind of feeding program to be followed. The newly arrived feeder steers should be given access to low quality roughage and clean water and kept under observation for the first few. weeks. If some steers go off feed and develop a temperature, they should be isolated immediately. Keep the refrigeration unit in your egg holding room in operation even though the temperature outside does drop below the desired egg holding temperatures. With the unit in operation reasonable uniformity of temperature can be maintained. .Without the unit operating variations in bp;th temperature and humidity can, be . expected. Wash eggs the same day they are laid for easiest removal of Sdiling. Eggs that are not to be washed for several days ' should be sprayed with a special oil to seal the shell pores and to retard drying of any soil .on the eggs. The Indiana farm account books and the Indiana farm record books are now available from the county extension office. Also available to farmers and other interested peoole are the 1964 edition farmers’ tax guide. Included in the tax guide are the new rules for deducting expenses of clearing land and the new investment credit allowed against your taxes when you have purchased certain equipment.

Host Os New Mayors Take Office Jan.l INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The dawn of a new year in Indiana Wednesday will feature the inauguration of a host of new mayors in city halls scattered from the Ohio River to Lake Michigan. leaking the oath of office in ceremonies scheduled for the first day of 1964 will be mayors elected in the state’s 111 cities last Nov. 5. The mayors-elect include only 25 incumbents—ls of them Democrats and 10 Republicans. Thus, the list of new taking office contains 86 names. ’ Among the new mayors are three in cities which until now have been governed by town boards but recently took on the higher status. Those cities are Scottsburg, East Gary and New Haven. The ringing out of the old and the ringing in of the new year will mark the abrupt change from Democratic to Republican control of the. majority of the Hoosier cities. Today, there are 72 Democratic and 36 Republican mayors'. Twenty-four hours hence, there will be 62 Republican and 49 Democratic-mayors. The inaugurals also include city clerk-treasurers, city councilmen, city judges and others elected in the Nov. 5 GOP triumph, which was somewhat startling to politicial observers because the Republicans made their greatest gains in the most populous cities which normally are Democratic. Other inaugurations will include town board members and other town officials in dozens of communities below the' city status. » Also, a few county officials elected in the 1962 election will take office after waiting nearly 14 months. These include one commissioner in each county and a total of about 40 county auditors, treasurer, darks and recorders. The inaugurations, likely to be attended by crowds of party faithful and officials, are the vanguards of political activity which will make 1964 a big year in Indiana. The state nominating conventions will be held in June. Some candidates already have announced they will seek state ticket nominations and are busy campaigning. Others are expected to make known their intentions promptly after the new .year arrives and now that the period of mourning for the late President Kennedy is over. The presidential preference and congressional primaries will be held in May. The election next November will feature presidential balloting, selection of a chief executive to succeed Governor Welsh z in January' .1965, and election of a U.S. senator, 11 congressmen, 125 state legislators, about a dozen stateTiduse officeholders' and hundreds of county officials.

/#>• —' HI HEIGHBORS >“ i In this article we will try to explain more about your District and how it works. Technical Service The soil conservation service, through a memorandum witn the district, supplies technical assistance, office space, transportation, etc. The service representative supplied to the district is" called a “work unit conservationist.” In Adams county the “work unit conservationist” is Jerry Setser, Sam Bell is the soil conservation technician and Arlen Mitchel assists as part-time WAE. The “work unit conservationist” and his staff help the farmers who are district co-operators to develop conservation farm plans and apply needed practices. Here are some of the services available to farmers in every district: A detailed soil and land capability map for every farm requesting it. Local and specific information about the different safe uses and adapted crops (including grasses, trees and wildlife! for each kind of soil. Information about the conservation practices needed on each kind of soil. Consultation service from a professional soil conservationist to help make a basic conservation plan for the farm. Technical services as needed (1> to design, lay out and check the construction of dams, terraces or other structures; (2) to decide on the varieties of plants, seeding methods and rates and cultural practices to use in establishing grass or trees as planned; and (3) to answer technical questions that arise in managing pastures, woodlands of wildlife. Pope To Leave For Holy Land Saturday VATICAN CITY (UPD—TM*’’ city of Rome . will give Pope Paul VI a herb’s sendoff Saturday when he leaves for his Holy Land pilgrimage and historic meeting with the Orthodox patriarch of Constantinople. The spiritual head of 500-mil-lion Roman Catholics will be the first Pope to visit Palestine and the first in 525 years to meet a supreme leader of the Eastern church. '-Z** His meeting with Patriarch Athenagoras I of Constantinople comes Sunday on Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives, where Christ prayed on the eve of His crucifixion. Clemgnte Cardinal Mica ra, 'papal vicar general for the city of .Rome., Monday ordered the bells of Rorqe’s 500 church-i es to ring for 1.0 minutes when the Pope leaves the city and and again when he returns on Monday. He asked Romans to turn out in force for the Pope's ■departure and especially for his return. The response was expected to be enthusiastic. Pope Paul, the austere."north Italian intellectual who was more'jr admired than loVed when he was elected to the papal throne six months ago, appears to have captured the hearts of Romans with his pilgrimage plan. He was almost mobbed during recent public appearances. including a Christmas Day visit to a bleak working class suburb.

Bachhaus Brothers Promote Ayrshire! Backhai|s Brothers of Decatur, who recently sent a registered Ayrshire heifer to the Ayrshire promotion sale at Newton, Miss., are active participants in the Ayrshire promotion program, according to the Ayrshire breeders’ association with national headquarters Jn Brandton, Vt., executive secretary, David Gibson, Jr. As part of this program, Ayrshire breeders during the past months have been supplying registered Ayrshire heifers to Southern dairymen through fair displays, where heifers were sold privately, and auction sales. Maurice H. Benson, doctor of promotion, and . Merle R. King, national fieldman. have been in charge of these fairs and sales. Approximately twenty-five registered Ayrshire heifers from leading herds have been at eaclTevent in areas where the Ayrshire breed is not widely known. It is progressive breeders such as Backhaus Brothers who are contributing to the interest in, and demand for the adaptable, registered Ayrshire in the south. The Ayrshire is noted for her high production of a fine-flavored, 4% milk, long life-span, and distinguished appearance. The Ayrshire is the all-weather cow, at home in any climate — north of south.

Ex-Diplomat Sentenced To Death As Spy .. VIENNA (UPD—A Communist court in Sofia today sentenced to death former Bulgarian diplomat Ivan-Assen Georgiev sot allegedly spying on behalf of the United States, according to the Bulgarian news agency BTA. BTA called the verdict “final and without right of appeal.” It said the Bulgarian Supreme Court decreed Geprgiev should die by firing squad. Previous Communist news agency reports from Sofia indicated the former diplomat in effect had invited the death penalty for his • crimes, which he was supposed to' have committed to pay for, mistresses on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Georgiev, 56, went on trial for treason off Thursday. BTA had reporjei previously that he made a full confession the first day and said that Monday Itate prosecutor Ivan. Vachkov demanded the death penalty for him. fiRIOI

Western observers had predicted, he would get the death penalty. Radio Sofia, in braodcasts monitored here, said Vachkov called Georgiev “a traitor to the homeland, a spy of the American intelligence.” Even the former diplomat's defense counsel was quoted as saying his guilt was “irrefutable.” But the defense asked the court not to give Georgiev the “heaviegf penalty.” In Bulgaria execution usually is by firing squad. . BTA said the handsome diplomat, former No. 2 man in tlie Bulgarian delegation to the United Nations, testified he turned over military, economic and political information to agents of the V-S. Central Intelligence agency during a seven year period. Kachkov claimed Georgiev admitted the CIA spent more than $200,000 “on him and his paramours.” Communist news agencies have quoted him as saying the CIA supplied him with Parisian and Bulgarian mistresses while he worked in New York. American officials have branded the proceedings a “show trial.” A few Western newsmen in Sofia attended the trial but they were barred on several occasions on the ground that state secrets would be discussed.

Israeli Project «. Near Completion

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Running westward and southward from the rocky shores of the Sea -of Galilee, a S2OO mil? lion complex of canals, tunnels, pipelines and reservoirs is almost ready to start carrying precious water to Israel’s arid Negev. It is a project that has been 10 years in the building ar’d is part of a still larger scheme to reclaim 625,000 acres of land, to permit new cities and the settlement of more than one jpillion immigrants. Arab nations have threatened to go to war to prevent its completion. Chief source of the -Sea of Galilee the River Jordan which rises in the mountains of Lebanon and Syria, flows through the Sea of Galilee (or Lake Kineret as the Israelis call it), and finally loses itself in the waters of the Dead Sea to the south. The Arabs charge that diversion of the Jqraan waters damages not only their lands but changes the situation as well. Both charges have • been rejected by the Israelis who have proceeded with at least the moral support of the United States. —. . Arabs Call Meeting The near-completion of the project is the reason for next month’s Arab League meeting in Cairo called by U.A.R. President Gamal Abdel Nasser to seek Unified Arab action. Os the 13-nation membership, 12 have responded favorably. , Arab opposition already has forced Israel to make substantial changes in the original outline of the plan. At first, Israel planned to take about half the water from the almost mineral-free upper Jordan before it emptied into the Sea of Galilee. Syrian interference in the de-militarized zone altered that plan. « Jordan’s decision -to divert waters of the Yarmuk River, the Jordan’s major tributary, to an irrigation project of its own brought further changes. Israeli J water now will be taken entirely from the Sea of Galilee which itself lies wholly within Israel. This, according to Israel, removes any technical Four Cows Make ■ • r Holstein Records Four registered Holstein cows owned by three Adams county farmers have listed new production records. Zimmerly Carnation Ina 4462463 a four-year-old owned by Benjamin & Lydia Gerke, Decatur, produced 15,540 lbs. milk and 642 tbs. butterfat in 291 days. Liechtyvale Burke Aaggie Ann 4771283, a three-year-old owned by Paul E. Liechty & Sons, Berne, produced 14,421 tbs. milk and 550 tbs. butterfat in 300 days. Meadow Pond Knight Design 4603952, a five-year-old, produced 19.259 lbs. milk and 649 lbs. butterfat in 306 days. Meadow Pond Knight Hengerveld 5017657, " a three-year-old, had 15,571 lbs. milk and 607'4tbs.. butterfat in 305 days. Both are owned by Rolandes Liechty, Berne. According to the national Holstein organization, the new production figures compare to an annual output of 7,211 tbs. of milk and 270 tbs. 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 testing programs.

or legal question over the diversion of the Jordan River. Discount Showdown Israel, with a population growth of around 70,000 a year and facing a desperate water situation, is betting that the Arabs will not go to war. And Arab leaders, noted for bickering among themselves, also indicate that agreement on any unified action may be hard to reach. From Cairo have come indications that Nasser believes total Arab political unity must be achieved in advance of a showdown with Israel. An influential weekly publication in Cairo charged that Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia would like to see Egypt embroiled in war with Israel 'so they could “stab her in the back.” The charge drew angry retorts from both Syria and Jordan, and the counter-charge that Nasser sought to evade his responsibilities toward Israel. Defeat at the hands of Israel in 1948 rankles deep in Arab minds and may lead to caution. A Beirut newspaper, agreeing that Arab unity comes first, said: The Arab tragedy of 1948 in Palestine must not be repeated in any form.” '“■r’i Record Dividends in 1964 at New York Life Policy owners of the New York Life, for the second successive year, will receive record dividends totaling more than $185,800,000 in 1964, an increase of $28,400,000 over 1963.
