For top oats yields Purdue University agronomist recommends Clintland 60, Goodfield. Newton, Putnam 61 and Garland. Use vigorous seed regardless of planting rate. Three flowering shrubs which can be pruned now are Rose of Sharon, most hydrangeas and shrub tupe dogwoods. Rose of Sharon, if it is in the form of a shrub, will need about one-half of the oldest wood cut back to the ground and some cutting of newer wood. If it is more like a tree almost no pruning is required, possibly just trimming out dead or damaged wood. Be sure you maintain the natural form of the plant. As for hydrangea, the Hills-of Snow type can have all the growth cut completely to the ground. With Pegee, remove 1/5 to 1/3 of old growth to ground level and take out dead, diseased and weak twiggy growth. The remaining branches should be shortened and thinned. For co’ored-twigged shrub dogwoods, remove at least half of the — ■■■■ Ww Minima; Hi Neighbors ! The Adams county soil and water conservation district has entered the 18th annual Goodyear competition to select the nation’s top 52 conservation districts according to Hugh David Mosser, chairman of the board. Activities of the district will be weighed against the performance of other districts in the state in determining the outstanding district in the annual event sponsored by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Akron, Ohio. Key agricultural leaders will j serve as judges and will select '■ the state winner. Soil conservation efforts from January 1, 1964, through December 31. 1964, will be considered. ; Grand award for the 52 dis- : tricts selected nationally will be : an expense paid, work-study trip to Arizona in December, 1965. for one member of the district ing farmer-cooperator in each governing body and the outstandwinning district. The 104 men selected will be guests at Goodyear farms, a 14,000-acre general farm operation near Phoenix. District supervisors are: Hugh David Mosser, R. 2, Geneva; Chester Isch, R. 1, Berne; Hugo Buhnahn, R. 2, Decatur; Paul Kohne, R. 4, Decatur, and Russel Mitchel, R. 1, Monroe.

Feeder pigs shipped into Indiana in 1963 totaled 698.000 J down from 1962 record shipment of 843,000, according to state-fe-deral agricultural statisticians at Purdue University. Ten years ago only around 5,000 feeder pigs were imported annually. Purdue University agicultural engineer points out that using flammable fluids, such as gasoline, or toxic ones, to clean machinery parts in the farm shop is courting disaster. Non-toxic and non-flammable liquid cleaners are available from most major oil companies. Varieties of oats, wheat, barlev and rye for 1964 planting in Indiana are Isited in research bulletin 775 “Small Grain Varieties for Indiana.” published by the Indiana agricultural experiment station at Purdue University. The bulletin presents yield, test weight, lodging percentage and plant height, up to five year averages — from four locations for soring oats, eight locations for winter wheat, two locations for winter barley and one location for winter oats. A copy of Research Bulletin 775 "Small Grain Varieties for Indiana” is available to farmers and other interested people from the county extension office, Decatur. The 4-H kick-off meeting will be held Monday evening. March 2. at Adams Central high school gym at 8 p.m. All 4-H members and prospective 4-H members, 4-H leaders and parents are urged to attend. Postpone Decision On Zoning Variance Decision on an application of variance filed by Mary Nickells was postponed for 30 days by the board of zoning appeals in its meeting Monday evening. She had asked for a variance for permission to operate a taxi stand, which would have its main office located at First and Oak streets. The area is zoned residential. and thus, permission is needed from the zoning board to operate the taxi stand in that area of the city. Commits Suicide To Avert Arrest MICHIGAN CITY, Ind.

Egg Facte Have you noticed some hardcooked eggs are difficult to peel? Here is why — the fresher the eggs, the harder they peel. To peel eggs easily, take them out of refrigerator 24 hours before cooking. Fresh, high quality eggs have a high-standing yolk baked in thick white. They do not flatten out when broken out of the shell. Keep eggs cool — Keep covered. Eggs can absorb odors through the shells. Keep large end up — quality is lowered when the egg is stared large end down. Specks in the eggs — Most of these are discovered during grading. However, the fresher the egg, the harder it is for the grader to see a speck. They do not in any way affect the flavor or nutritive value of the egg. If you do find the speck, the egg is still usable. Eggs make the grade — Three factors to consider in selecting eggs — Grade — A—B or AA-Fancy. Size — Extra large - 27 oz ; Large 24 oz.; Mer. - 21 oz. Price — per dozen is determined by the size (weight) of that dozen. Example — Grade A large eggs may be 55c per dozen and Grade A Medium 49c. In buying a given grade of eggs, consider the price differences between the various sizes. If there is more than 8c difference in price between medium and large eggs, then the medium cost less per pound. If there is less than 8c difference in price between the medium and large eggs, then the

large size offers more egg for the money. Egg Yolk Color The color of the egg yolk depends mainly on the hen’s diet. Most of our eggs now come from confined flocks. Their yolks are a lighter, more uniform color. Eggs contain — high quality protein, valuable minerals and essential vitamins. Fish Supplies Shoppers in our area will find good supplies of fish sticks and portions, halibut, oysters, shrimp, fillets of cod, haddock and ocean perch. These fish will probably be found in frozen food counters, but some markets will have fresh fish displays. When storing fish in quantity in the freezer, make certain the freezer is one that produces a storage of zero or lower. Too high or constantly changing temperature causes loss of quality and food value — even though the food may have been properly packaged and frozen. No Indications Os Heavy Snows By United Press International It appeared today that Indiana’s recent tradition of heavy snow sometime during the Feb. 21-27 period will be broken this year — except for the winterprone area around LaPorte and Michigan City. Heavy snows have fallen during Ulis period annually since 1960. Up to three inches of snow lay across the northern end of the state this morning as a result of earlier storm activity, and the LaPorte County area still had a deep blanket over from last Friday. But the bulk of the broad Hoosier area has had little snow the past few days and there was nothing in the forecasts to indicate anything startling is due through Thursday. Occasional light snow or flurries were forecast for tonight and Wednesday around the state, bfit there was no indication of a significant accumulation. The light snow will develop on the heels of cloudy skies today. After the new snow falls, Thursday will be fair. Temperatures this morning ranged from 12 at Fort Wayne to 20 at South Bend and 22 at Evansville, after hitting highs ranging from 21 at Fort Wayne to 39 at Evansville Monday afternoon. Highs today will range from 32 to 46, lows tonight from 12 to 20, and highs Wednesday frqm the mid 20s to the low 30s.

Marion County Has License Plate Jam I INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — License bureau officials begged I •' Marion County motorists today to apply for their 1964 auto tags by mail to avoid being without the plates when the deadline j arrives Saturday midnight for| using the 1963 tags. The appeal was made when it was determined that 160,000 mo-1 torists still have not bought; their new plates and that maayi applicants couldn’t possibly be; served at branch, offices in the j time remaining. The logjam was partly due to; the fact branches were closed! from Friday afternoon to Mon-! day evening in the wake of a« court ruling that the Marion! County "wheel tax” on passen-: ger cars was invalid. Meanwhile.plans were updf|" £ way to continue an appeal of: the ruling through regular chan-j nels. t At the same time State Mo-jj tor Vehicles Commission Allen" Nutting, who escaped ’ a contempt of court citation by or-r dering Marion County licensebranches open for business s Monday night, planned to workg out court-ordered refunds of theE $lO-a-car tax to those persons | who already have paid it. | Marion Superior Court Judge I Glenn Funk ruled the tax in-1 valid and ordered an estimated I $1.5 million already collected E from the tax to be refunded. ■ Meanwhile, license plates were| sold without collection of the • tax. c Nutting said there wereg many problems to be worked* out before refunds could be* made. One estimate was that;; the work of going through therecords and preparing the| checks for refund would run as£ high as $150,000. | Governor Welsh said Mondays night no short-cut moves were * planned, explaining that “the feeling of the Atty. Gep. Edwin K. Steers” was against any appeal now to either the Appel- ? late or Supreme Courts until j Funk had ruled on a motion forj a new trial and pn appeal | could be taken in the routine c manner from this denial. It was learned the Supreme g Court informally advised Steers £ it could not consider any mo- J tion on the case until today—by f which time Nutting would have| been in contempt of court for | closing the license branches. Welsh said he felt the deci- ~ sion should be appealed “to, provide guidance to the General Assembly.” ~ .
