County Agent’s Corner

Thinking of buying a lot for your future home? The drainage on your lot is very important. During spring, water tables ate usually the hipest, so use an augur or a probe to determine the water on your prospective homesite. Your county extension agent or local soil conservation service can provide you with valuable information about the soil before you buy a lot. Plant com hybrids with good performance records. Look for high yields, suitable maturity, standability, stalk rot and blight resistance.

Increase yield by 20 bushels! A lot of guff! That’s what most fanners call these b T _ yield claims. And we agree. There’s a lot more to b.j yields than planting Super-Cob 38! Your soil, fertilizer, and a lot of luck from the weather are important ... eh? So at P-A-G we say this:. “We believe that if you plant , . P-A-G seed com you have a better chance of increasing yields, a better chance for complete harvest, a better chance for matching your crop to its end use.” Here’S why- P-A-G offers, over 40 research-proved, performance-tested varieties of Special Cross and Four-Way Cross seed. Each with a combination of special characteristics so you can match seed... to need... to conditions. We won’t say you’ll get bigger yields.

Four recommended varieties of spring oats are available for 1964 plantings. Putnam 61 has the best combination of disease resistance and is early maturing. Goodfield is outstanding in straw strength. Newton is high yielding with good over-all performance characteristics, and Clintland 60 has good protection against leaf and stem rusts. Damage spots in the lawn can be repaired easiest by removing some soil and replacing it with pieces of sod. These may be taken from edge of lawn or sod may be purchased.

Should you use a soil insecticide to control soil insects in corn ground? Tests in Indiana over a six-year period show that broadcast applications of either aldrin or heptachlor increased corn yield an average of nine bushels per same materials produced an averacre. Row applications > of the age increase of four bushels per acre. Seventy per cent of the fields treated benefited from the applications. For broadcast treatment, apply three pounds of actual toxicant per acre and disc into the top three to five inches of soil immediately after application. In the row,' apply one pound actual toxicant per acre at time of planting. Control spittlebugs on alfalfa and clover during late April for best results. Application of insecticides at this time will be more effective since the bugs are still small and have just begun to feed. —— Disease prevention is vital to modern livestock production. One important step in disease prevention is isolation of all newly purchased animals for a 30 day period following purchase. pere y sTV - " Hi Neighbors I An application through public law 566 (the watershed protection and flood prevention act of 1954) on the Wabash river is under study.

How much vitamin C are you getting from the % cup of orange juice or orange drink you have been having for breakfast? asks Marcile Allen, food specialist at Purdue University. If you do not know how much, why not take time to do a little checking? To help you with this figuring, Miss Allen offers the following information:— The juice of two oranges, % cup fresh orange juice (dairy), cup canned orange juice (sin-gle-strengths,, and % cup reconstituted frozen juice all give about the same amount of vitamin C. You mav wish to compare prices of these to determine the most economical. When buying orange drinks, such as canned or bottled orange juice drink, canned orange drink, canned orange juice base and powdered dry mix. read the container label to determine the amount of vitamin C to expect in a four ounce (% cup) serving, as well as the serving cost. Decide whether the cost compares favorably with the amount of vitamin C received. _ Price is not the only thing to consider, reminds Miss Alien. Remember nutritional needs, family preferences, storage facile ities and convenience in preparation when choosing a form of orange juice. QUICKIES: Cook vegetables only until tender in just enough water to prevent scorching, advise Purdue University food specialists.-Cov-er the pan with a tight fitting lid. Rub a slightly warm iron on waxed paper or a damp, rough surfaced cloth to remove scorched starch on the sole plate, say Purdue University home manage; ment specialists. For the safety of small children and elderly persons, avoid decorating your rooms with small stools, floor pillows and scatter rugs, say Purdue . University home furnishing specialists. When not in use, hang an 'electric cord set over a rounded surface, advise Purdue University housing specialists. A large wOoden spool nailed to the wall serves well. Choosing a shift or loose ha>ging jumper for your little girl? Purdue University clothing specialists recommend selecting one with a skirt neither too full nor too tight to hamper easy movement. It vou have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

SPECIAL WASHINGTON REPORT * President Cites Reasons For War On Poverty ’ By President Lyndon B. Johnson ! We are citizens of the richest and most fortunate nation in the history of the world. One hundred and eighty years ago we were a small country

struggling for survival in the margin of a hostile land. Today we have established a civilization of free men which spans an entire continent. With the growth of our country has come oppopunity for our people—opportunity to educate our children, to use our energies in productive work, to increase our leisure —opportunity for almost every American to hope that through work and talent he could create a better life for himself and his family. The path forward has not been an easy one.

But we have never lost sight of our goal: an America in which every citizen shares all the opportunities of his society, in which every man has a chance to advance his welfare to the limit of his capacities. We have come a long way toward this goal. We still have a long way to go. “ The distance which remains is the measure of the great unfinished work of our society. To finish that work I have called for a national war on poverty. Our objective: total victory. One-Fifth of Nation Poor There are millions of Americans —one-fifth of our people—who have not shared in the abundance which has been granted to most of us, and to whom the gates of opportunity have been closed. What does this poverty mean to those who endure it? It means a daily struggle to secure the necessities for even a meager existence. It means that the abundance, the comforts, the opportunities they see all around them are beyond their grasp. Worst of all, it means hopelessness for the young. The young man or woman who grows up without a decent education, in a broken home, in a hostile and squalid environ- ’ ment, in ilTfiSTtfi or in the face □f racial injustice—that young man or woman is often trapped m a life of poverty. He does not have the skills demanded by a complex society.

Race Violence In Negro Area In Cleveland By United Press International Racial violence in Cleveland, Ohio, at a school construction site in a Negro area has resulted in injury to two policemen and the arrest of 21 civil rights demonstrators. The trouble broke out Monday during picketing at the school site on the city’s East Side, Civil rights groups, contending new schools in the area will result in re-segregation, staged picketing demonstrations shortly after ground-breaking ceremonies. One of the civil rights workers was identified as Mrs. Beth Robinson, 35, an expectant mother. She was taken to a hospital on a stretcher after she and others jumped into a fourfeet deep ditch when a truck sought to enter the school site. Mrs. Robinson and four others were lifted out of the ditch by police. The others were half dragged and carried to a police wagon. The two policemen were injured when they helped remove eight demonstrators who tried to interfere with trucks coming and going to the construction site. They suffered a skinned knee, scratched cheek and in-

He does not know how to acquire those skills. He faces a mounting sense of despair which drains initiative and ambition and energy. Our tax cut will create millions of new jobs—-new exits from poverty. But we must also strike down all the barriers which keep many from using those exits. Not Just to Support People The war on poverty is not a struggle simply to support people, to make them dependent on the generosity of others. It is a struggle to give people a chance. It is an effort to allow them to develop and use their capacities, as we have been allowed to develop and use ours, so that they can share, as others share, in the promise of this nation. We do this, first of all, because it is right that we should. From the establishment of public education and land grant colleges through agricultural extension and encouragement to industry, we have pursued a goal of a nation with full and increasing opportunities for all its citizens. ’/ Giving new opportunity to those who have little will enrich the lives of all the rest. Because it is right, because it is wise, and because, for the first time in our history, it is possible to conquer poverty, I submit, for the consideration of the Congress and the country, the Economics Opportunity Act of 1964. —Excerpt from Message on Poverty

llanos Kadar Is Now {Popular In Hungary

By PHIL NEWSOM ; UPI Foreign News Analyst * ; VIENNA, Austria — In its new mood of relaxation, Communist Hungary makes much of freedom of religion. The official public line is that how a man worships is matter of his own conscience. It is pointed out that Easter Sunday and Monday continue to be legal national holidays and that Hungarian bishops attended the Ecumenical Cqngress in Rome. As the regime of party leader and Prime Minister Janos Kadar has worked to present a new image to the Hungarian people and the West, the church then has gained some subsidiary benefit. But it does not mean that the government has abandoned communism's atheistic code. The teaching of atheism in the schools has cut into church attendance by young people and Cardinal Mindszenty in hs exile apartment on the top floor of the United States legation building remains the Iron ' Curtain’s most celebrated rei ligious prisoner. Never Mention Name The Hungarian people have not seen nor heard of the car- = dinal since his brief perod of freedom during the 1956 revolt and in Budapest he is a forgotten man, his name never mentioned by press or radio. “It is probable,” said an . American in Budapest, “that 85 ■ per cent of the Hungarian peo- ! pie could not tell you where he lis or what became of him.” Questions to the U.S. legation -about the chances of the car- ' dinal’s release are met by a r terse “no comment” though it 'is known that negotiations have been going on for months. Among a few hardy peasants - and a few merchants there still 3 exists opposition to the state : cooperatives and the state ' stores, but it also must be said ' that the Kadar regime has achieved a -success scarcely to ■ be imagined n the dark days of 1956 when he invited Russian tanks in to crush the revolt. Then he easily could qualify as the most hated man in Hungary. That place now has been taken over by the disgraced former dictator Matyas Rakosti..” He was not even a Hungarian and besides he lives in Russia and has a Russian wife.” Kaddar Is Popular And of Kadar, said one Hungarian ... “I am not a Communist but Kadar is one of the most popular men in Budapest” ... and, referring to centuries of Turkish, Austro-Hun-garian ■empire 'arid “Soviet" rule: “He is thcfSrstHungari-,’ an to govern Hungary in 500
