Adams County Farmers’ Corner

Purple Penning: By: Patsy Lee Leaders County Extension Agent Agriculture Last week I received two lettens with the same wciderful news. The first was from Cynthia Collier who last year received the honor of being accepted into Twin Pines at Purdue and the second was from Dr. Eva Goble, assistant director of cooperative extension at Purdue. The grand news is that Miss Judy Kay Mosser. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh David Mosser, R. 2 Geneva, was invited by the girls at Twin Pines to live there next fall. This is a wonderful honor for Judy as Twin Pines had very few vacancies for the school year next fall. It is also an honor for Adams county as that means that both last year and this year we have had girls accepted to Twin Pines — must be the climate around here that grows intelligent and talented ' college women Sewing TechnjqUZ lor Lace: Sewing the season's fashions in lace requires special techniques, says Mrs. Bonnita Farmer, clothing specialist at Purdue University. First, select a lace appropriate to t h e garment — firm, heavy lace for tailored suits, dresses and coats; sheer silk and synthetic laces for party and after-five dresses. x.. Then chose a pattern with few seams, shfe advises. Awoid styles with buttonholes, or use large covered snaps on the jacket and blouse closures. When laying out the pattern, match the design at the seams. Stitch with size 11 needles, 11-12 stitches per inch. Use lining fabrics of the same fiber content as the lace — line cotton lace with cotton satin, etc. Machine baste sheer laces to tissue paper for easier handling. When garment and lining are treated as one. machine baste each section together one-half-inch from the edge. Use long machine basting through the center of darts to secure lace and lining. To avoid self-facings, use horehair braid at armholes, neck and hem lines of sleeveless overblouses. To finish seams on unlined garments, catch or slip-stitch seams to the outer fabric, or double stitch and trim close to the second Stitching. In lined garments, give zippers a custom look by hand stitching the last step. Little gardens for little gardeners:

INDIANA TILLAGE FIELD DAY was held last Friday at the Paul Kohne farm, southwest of Decatur. Pictured above are two views of demonstrations of use of farm equipment in tillage work. More than 400 farmers a the field day taking advantage of the opportunity to see the latest tillage tools available from farm equipment companies, and how effectively 4ach tool operates in the field. The event was sponsored |Ointly by county soil and water conservation district and the cooperative extension service. The harvest demonstration date has been set for October 6at the some farm.-(Photos by Cole). .

Junior may resist the temptation to pick the neighbor s tulips if he is waiting for his own flowers to bloom, points out C. E. Hoxsie, Purdue University horticulturist. Children enjoy caring for their t owh garden and at the same time acquire respect for the lawns and gardens you and your neighbors carefully cultivate. So include the littlest gardener when you plan and plant your family garden. Save a little plot for the child to plant anything he is particularly interested in-be it flowers or vegetables. Hoxsie suggests sunflowers or four-o’clocks for flowers; corn, beans, squash and gourds for vegetables. Seeds of these plants germinate quickly and are big enough for small fingers to handle. Locate junior’s garden in a sunny, area in a well-drained, deep, rich loam. Providing him with good seed and fertile ground will prevent his suffering the disappointment of crop failure. ALL 4-H-ERS: I just received a letter from Becky Tolle at Montgomery Ward’s in Fort Wayne. The store has invited all 4-H’ers to a 4-H fun nite, Friday, May 15, from 8 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. at the store in Northcrest shopping center. Jack Underwood will be the master of ceremonies for the evening and the program will consist of talent from the Allen county 4-H clubs. The Liberty Three will be’ there for group singing and there will be some dancing.

is only one dollar. Farm Bureau Insurance pays BO°/o of ench loss, up to S2OO ... and lOO°/o of the loss above that. The most you can ever pay on one loss is S4O, even if your car is totally demolished. Here is protection that relieves you of the financial strain of every accident, yet the premium is comparatively low. That’s why 84% of our policyholders who carry collision insurance, are protected with this 80-20 collision coverage.

Does your present auto policy expire soon? \ Soo your Farm Bureau Insurance agent before renewing. He probably can aave you money. \ 130 EAST WASHINGTON STREET INDIANAPOLIS. INDIANA

a HVMIAS) StA S - Z Hi Neighbors I Land — productive land on which good crops, pastures, or forests will grow — is our most valuable resource. Whether you v live in a city or in the country, the land feeds and clothes you and gives you most of the other things you use. Productive land is essential to the well being of any nation and its people. Many nations do not have enough land to furnish a high standard of living. We are most fortunate in the United States; but even here, we do not have much to spare. And most of our land has been getting poorer — the potential productivity has been declining year after year ever sinc% we settled it. Fertile soil and the right amount of water are the main things that make land productive. A great part of our land had fertile soil

when we first settled it. But, erosion, the oxidation of organic matter, the leaching of minerals, and other things have robbed the soil of a great part of its fertility. Much of our land has the right amount of water when we settled it. But increased runoff has decreased the supply of water in the ■ soil on many sloping hillsides; while flooding and waterlogging have increased the amount of water in the soil of valley lands. These and other things have greatly decreased the potential productivity of too much of our land. We do not need to let the productivity of the land continue to decline. We can check erosion, build up soil fertility ,and regulate the supply of water so that the land will produce more and more, year after year. We can conserve and improve the soil so that future generations will have the same abundant life we now enjoy. But to do this we must use the best soil and water conservation practices we know about. And we must fit these conservation practices to the land of each field, each farm, and each watershed. BOWLING Suburban League ' * W L Pts.

By: Ernest J. Lesiuk County Extension Agent Agriculture Harvest alfalfa—grass mixtures just as the grass heads appear. This assures a highly digestive crop and rapid regrowth of the second crop. Also, by harvesting in May there will be apple moisture for starting the second crop. Early cut alfalfa — grass mixtures need a top dressing of phosphate and potash fertilizer so that thealfalfa can replenish its root food storage for producing the next crop. Crabgrass preventers can still be used on established lawns because crabgrass often geminates in late spring. Also, turf keeps soils cooler so crabgrass germinates slower than in bare ground areas.

The division is engaged in a continuous training program ranging from sea assault landings on the beaches of southern California to simulated desert warfare in the Mojhve Desert. Doing Repair Work On Erie-Lackawanna Ten different machines are being used to .remove, replace and spike railroad ties from Decatur east to Ohio City, 0., on the westbound track of the Erie-Lackawanna railroad, W. M. Bumgerdner, station agent, said this morning. At least 42 men are operating the equipment, and they made .78 miles Monday. The operation started last week at the St. Mary’s river bridge in Decatur, and is now to the Piqua road crossing in St. Mary’s township. Eventually the crew hopes to make .8 miles a day. This is the first time the Erie has had all ten machines here at thesame time. It is expected that they will be in this area at least a couple of weeks more.
