Soil conditions and preparation of a seed bed, however, are important things to consider before getting started. Fertilize the soil with three to

four pounds of 12-12-12 or a similar analysis fertilizer per 100 square feet before plowing or spading. Rake the surface until it is smooth and mark rows with a tight string. Kows for small seeds such as lettuce, beets, and carrots can be made with the handle end of the rake. ’ The large seeds must be planted deeper and rows can be made with a hoe. The planting depth should be about twice the seeds diameter. Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower plants can oe set out in April. After transplanting, firm the soil well anG water with a starter fertilizer high in phosophorous. Bank Seeding Bank seeding helps small grass and legume plants compete with oats and weeds in spring seedings. Grass and legume seeds are placed above the band of fertilizer in this method. When the seed germinates, the fertilizer helps it develop an extensive root system needed to withstand drought and shade. Band seeding saves time. Onehalf less grass seed and one-third less legume seed gives better stands than do broadcast methods. The saving in seed can offset the cost of oonverting a grain drill for band seeding. Band seeding has been a popular method of seeding for about 25 years, many drills still need to be converted. The drag chain should be removed from the drill that has been converted. These chains scatter the seeds away from the band of fertilizer. Indiana farm land values are expected to rise three to five per cent in the next year according to Purdue University Agricultural Economist. Fertilizers may be applied now, if vigorous lawn growth is desired. Early fertilization with products high in nitrogen promotes more fill in of bluegrass with less crabgrass problems later. Leaking Toilet The continuous leakage of water into a toilet can usually be stopped by replacing the rubber ball valve in the bottom of the water tank. Shut off the water supply to the" tank and flush the tank to empty it. Then unscrew the rubber ball from the rod to which it is attached, and replace .with a new one of the same size. Then turn on the water and fill and empty the tank several times to make sure the new ball is working properly.

iJSwtis) s2f\ SAStJ HI Neighbors ! Well, things are really rolling on our upcoming “tillage field day” to be held May 5, with a rain date of May 8. 1 know you will all want to come out and see different types of tillage on soybeans and corn, test plots on seeds and fertilizer, etc. This “tillage field day” will be held one mile south and one mile west of the Decatur city limits. A meeting of the Adams county soil and water conservation district supervisors, Jerry Setser, work unit conservationist, Ernest Lesiuk, county agent, Harry Galloway and Jerry Miller, of Purdue extension, was’ held last Thursday afternoon. At this meeting many of the final details concerning the “tillage field day” were discussed. Also a “harvest field day” on this same farm is being planned for this fall. We are all very enthused about this project and hope you will all save some time May 5 to come out and see us, it starts at 10 a.m. I will try to give you more details on this “tillage field day” in future articles. Two New Reports On Week's Herd An official production testing report from the Holstein-Friesian Association of America at Brattleboro. Vermont, includes the recently completed lactations <Jf these area Registered Holstein cows. . Belbrook Mistress Flora 4450572/ a five-year-old, produced 17,268 pounds milk and 733 pounds butterfat in 329 days. Hubbard Vale Carnation Pansy 4763501, a four-year-old, had 18,042 pounds milk and 722 pounds butterfat in 335 days. All are owned by Lester F. Week, Ohio City, O. These new production figures may be to the annual output of 7,211 pounds of milk and 270 pounds of butterfat by the average U. S. dairy cow, notes the national Holstein Association. Ohio State University supervised the sampling, weighing and testing operations in cooperation with the Holstein organization’s herd and breed improvement programs. * Bred-In Quality gives you (SrJ\ 2 \T , ) head start toward TOP EGG PROFITS WITH 44%*-fin*?. * CHICKS When ybu start with HyLine chicks, you start with bred-in, high-profit potential.

Two Guernseys Complete Reports Two registered Guernsey cows in the herd of Roger Moser 81 Son, Berne, Indiana have recently completed top official HIR actual production records, according to The American Guernsey Cattle Club. All cows were milked two times a day. The testing was supervised by Purdue university. Guernsey milk is world famous for it’s high protein, delicious flavor and golden yellow color, the club stated. Anns Romeos Jolly, a Jr. three year old, produced 10,178 pounds of milk and 533 pounds of fat, in 305 days. Florences Kings Emblems Fan a Jr. two year old, produced 10,956 pounds of milk and 515 pounds of fat, in ,305 days.

The supplies ranged from disposable diapers to candies, vaccines to portable generators. Gov. William A. Egan, his voice showing the strain of four days of unceasing strain and work, warned Alaskans they must “take a good hard look at the future.” Seeks Immediate Aid In a broadcast beamed over all Alaska’s still operating stations. Egan said federal aid was “clearly the only immediate source of funds.” "We hope and pray that special legislation will be passed by the U.S. Congress,” he said. “Private shipping interests on the West Coast have offered to help in any way possible,” he said. “The outpouring of sentiment is unprecedented, I believe, in our nation.” He said the most immediate need was to restore smashed sewer, power and water faciil-

ties and transportation. He said he hoped the governmentoperated Alaska railroad, its tracks looking like tangled kite string, qould be opened to the vital ice-free port of Whittier in two weeks. Step Up Drive The Red Cross marshalled 25 volunteers as medical helpers in a stepped-up drive to administer anti-typhoid vaccine and forestall the ever-present danger of epidemic from fouled water. At Johnson City, Tex., President Lyndon Johnson received word of the minimum SSOO million needs of the stricken 49th state. - “EviVything necessary must be done,” Johnson declared. Alaska’s senators appealed for aid. Immediately, the Housing and Home Finance Agency in Anchorage ordered a moratorium on connections of FHA and VA home loans. .The Internal Revenue Service made hasty arrangements to permit stricken residents to get income tax writeoffs this year on losses. Insurance firms said there was little earthquake and tidal * wave insurance in the state. Fishing Industry Suffers The fishing industry, mainstay of the Alaskan economy, took a “hell of a beating,” officials said. Ninety-foot boats hurled hundreds of yards inland and the almost numberless docks and wharves ripped to pieces attested to that. The big salmon and crab canneries at Kodiak were shut down. Johnson ordered federal officials to “proceed as rapidly as possible to prepare relief programs for Alaska.” Jobs of thousands were wiped out in the quake. There were 4,500 to 5,000 jobs lost in Anchorage alone. The Red Cross said as many as 1,000 families required assistance. The homeless in Anchorage alone numbered 2,000.
