son. Fine Record The season’s best performance was turned in by four lads. Kalver, Ham, Hammond and Cravens, each of whom fired a 39 during the spring. Kalver won medalist honors four times, while Hain and Burnett turned the trick twice each and Schultz once. The golfers posted a fme~record of 13 wins and just five defeats during the season and beat each team in the schedule at least once with the exception of one. _ The Decaturites piled up 206% points during the season to just 87% for their opponents, reflecting some of the large scores by which they were victorious. The team placed fourth in the 10team NEIC meet and 18th in a field of 31 teams in the Logansport secional. Eastern Indiana Group Ranks High The Eastern Indiana production credit association, with an office in Decatur, is one of the top 20 PCA’ms in the United States, Homer C. Haward, president of the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Louisville, announced today. The 484 PCA’s loaned $3.6 billion to 359,000 farmers in 1963, and had a combined net worth of $403.6 million. The Eastern Indiana PCA rank--sth of 484 in number of members, 3,922, '7th iii number of members having loans, 2,700, and 19th in amount of loans outstanding, $11,538,000. The money for these loans came from the sale of debentures to the investing public without any government guarantee either as tc principal or interest. 9 78.5% increase in PCA loans to Indiana farmer? the first four months of 1964 over a year ago indicates a mounting need cf credit for labor-saving, equipment on farms, Hayward pointed out. Gardeners Gan Stop Rabbits And Squirrels Local gardeners troubled with rabbits or squirrels can easily discourage them, Jack ' Hurst, district conservation officer, said today. Squirrels and other rodents, even skunks, can be routed with moth balls. If either bother you, just fill their runways or hiding spot with moth balls, and in 24 hours they will have vacated the premises. *-■ For rabbits, noted for nibbling lettuce, tomatoes, and early spring tulip leaves, Hurst recommends two tablespoons of aluminum sul- ■ phate and one tablespoon of soap powder in a gallon of water, sprayed directly oh plants.

pitching record and NEIC record in his high school career. Reidenbach, in making the presentation, explained to the large crowd of students on hand that the trophy was not a most valuable' player award but was made in recognition of the record C~okson compiled — one of the finest in the school’s history. In his sophomore year. Cookson won one game and lost two, giving no indication of the fabulous feats to come in his final two seasons. In his junior year. Cookson posted a brilliant 9-1 record and won six games in the conference, losing just one. Final Year In his final year, the recentlyconcluded season, Cookson Compiled an 8-3 mark, and won five of seven starts in conference play. His high school record was a fine 18-6 and his NEIC record in his career was 11-3. Since pitching is recognized as 75 per cent of the game of baseball. Cookson was probably the main cog in the 1963 championship season and the near-miss of repeating in the runner-up position of this “spring; —In his final two years, Cookson pitched every Northeastern Indiana conference game.
