pet areas, and use caution to keep residues on edible portions of plants within the limits permitted by law. If symptoms of illness occur during or shortly after spraying or dilating, i physician should be called. Horn File* Increase Horn flies are increasing rapidly on both beef and dairy cattle throughout the state. Horn flic? are small insects that may cover the hair in patches, especially on the withers, neck and around the horns. The horn Hies are best controlled on beef unimals by the use of backrubbers. These are divices that are kept saturated with an insecticide so that when cattle rub against them they .treat themselves. Back rubbers can either be home-made or purchased ready made. They work best when placed near salt or water and away from trees and other objects against which animals otherwise rub. One of the cheapest and best Insecticides for saturating beef cattle rubbers is five per-cent toxaphene, one part in eleven parts of mineral oil. In case of dairy cattle, apply one heaping tablespoon—of dry methoxyehlur wettable to the back of each nnlmal every three weeka. Ciodrin spray is also approved for use on dairy animals and is effective against both horn flies and face fliera. Use one pint of 25 per cent concentrate in three gallons of water und spray one to two pints of this -mixture on each animal. Ciodrin is not registered at the above concentration for use more lhan onefc every seven duys. No One Injured As Plane Noses Over CHARLOTTE, N.

| Indiana Crops Show I Marked Improvement LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPIiMost Indiana crops have shown "marked Improvement” recently as generous summer rains fell throughout the state. Thai was the report today from Robert E. Straszheim, agricultural statistician at Purduo University, in hi* weekly summary of crop conditions. "Topsoil and subsoil moisture were considered adequate in nearly all areas, the report said. "Recent increases in soil moisture has spurred growth, and most crops have showed marked improvement. Pasture condition, on an upswing during the past two weeks, was rated fair to mostly good.” The’ rain, However, brought about delays in small grain harvest last week. The wheat harvest fell further behind progress of the past two seasons but still was ahead of average. About .75 per cent of the crop was combined by last weekend compared with 85 per cent this time last year and 65 per cent average. The oats harvest continued —slow with 25 —per cent of the crop combined compared with 30 per cent this time last year and 40 per cent average. "Corn development has accelerated with recent showers,” the report said. "About 30 per cent of the corn has tasseled compared with 20 per cent last year and also with average. This is still behind the unusually rapid rate of 1962. "The soybean crop continues to develop at about the usual rate. About 15 per cent of the crop has begun setting pods. "Some hay damage was reported because of showers, but progress continues well ahead of average. About 65 per cent of the second cutting of alfalfa has been made compared with 55 , per. cent last year, and 40 per cent for average.” ’ ~ N«w York Stock Exchange Prlco MIDDAY PRICES A. T.

Credit Sen. Hartke For Bill's Progress FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPI)— The Save the Dunes Council today gave “major credit” to Sen. Vance Hartke for progress of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore bill through a Senate subcommittee. Thomas E. Dustin, public relations director for the council, told an Optimist Club meeting here Monday that Hartke had lived up to a promise made shortly after his election in 1958 that “if the people of Indiana ' want the dunes preserved, I will help in every way to do this for them.” "We did not forget the promise, nor did the senator,” Dus- , tin said. Hartke reported last week that th? bill was expected to make progress in the Senate ■this week or at least soon after Congress reconvenes. Ron Habegger To Attend Institute Ron Habegger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Habegger of Monroe route 1, has been selected to represent Adams county at the ... American institute of cooperation at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Aug. 9 to 12. He will receive an all-expense paid scholarship to the A. I. C., contributed jointly by the Adams County Farm Bureau Co-op and the Indiana Farm Bureau Co-op Assn. The institute is chartered as a university in the District of Columbia. Each year it meets on the campus of a land grant college. The annual meetings attract thousands of adults and young farm# leaders from all over the United States. Goals of the institute are to develop better unstanding of the American free enterprise system, acquaint outstandingfarm youth with career opportunities in farm-related business, and develop better understanding of the cooperative way of doing business. Herald Bailey, manager of the Adams County Farm Bureau Coop Assn., said, “Ron was selected because he showed qualities * of initiative and resourcefulness in his achievements in school, youth and farm organizations and actuaL farming operations.” .

Purple Pannings By: Patsy Lee Leaders County Extension Agent Rome Economics This is a busy week for all Adams county people who are involved with the 4-H fair. Wednesday at 1:30 in the county extension office there will be a meeting of the health and personality committee. The purpose of this meeting is to judge the record books. JUDY MOSSER ON TV Judy Mosser of the Work and Win 4-H r club will present her wfhning demonstration, “Artist in an Apron,” on the Wayße Rothgeb tV show July 22 "at 12:15 p.m. Judy is the daughter of Mr .and Mrs. Hugh David Mosser of Geneva . SCRIPT WRITING COMMITTEE There will be a meeting of the 4-H dress revue committee and the following girls to write the script for the 4-H dress revue. The 4-H girls are: Judy Mosser, Debbie Bultemeier, Cindy Boerger, Linda Hawbaker, and Sandra Bransteter. DRESS REVUE All 4-H'ers are to be reminded that they should wear the correct accessories for their garments when they cpme to the practice dress revue bn Monday, July 27, as they will be judged that day. DISTRIST DEMONSTRATION CONTEST Adams county did very well at the July 15 district demonstration contest. Judy Mosser, who was entered in the fruits and vegetable division with her demonstration, “Artist in an Apron”, was selected to go to the state fair. Rita King, who was entered in the dairy foods division with her demonstration, “Cheese Diamonds,” was selected to go to the Indiana state fair. Mary Lybarger, who was entered in the clothing division with Her demonstration, “Sew to Show,” was selected as the first alternate —a girl from Wabash county won in this division. MISSING ITEMS • At a recent Home Demonstration council meeting all club presidents were asked to have their members search their attics for the missing Home Demonstration trophy. This trophy has not been seen for about three or four years and it was voted upon by a previous council meeting to have it returned to the county extension office. I'm placing this information in the column because the trophy may be in the attic of a person who is no longer a Home Demonstration club member and who has forgotten that the trophy is in her house. Also missing is the base of the coffee urn which belongs in the county extension office. This has been missing since last summer’s fair and it was thought that it might be someplace in the 4-H dining hall. Now that the dining hall has been cleaned and the base of the coffee urn is not there, we are asking that all people who worked at the fair check their kitchens as the base of the coffee urn would look like a salad mold. The reason this is urgent to find the base is because we need the coffee urn for the dining haft and it cannot be used without the base. FAIR BOTH At the July council meeting, Mrs. Lowell Noll, chairman of the fair committee, had a drawing for the clubs who would - make exhibits and those who would “babysit” with the exhibit. The following clubs drew the following assignments: meat lesson, French township: international understanding, PleasantNeighbors: foods facts vs. food fallacies, ONO; “Babysitting” — Tuesday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Better Homes: 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Caliente; 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Limberlost; Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Kirkland Ladies: 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. Merry Matrons; 4 p.m. to 7 p.m Modern Homemakers: 7 Thursday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wato 10 pm. Profit and Pleasure; bash Valley; 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunny Circle: 4 to 7 p.m. Merrier Mondays; 7-10 p.m. Live and Learn. HOT DOG MONTH Hot dogs — or franks, whichever you choose to call them,' date back to an origin in the early ninth century. Since they are a form of sausage, you can even trace their history back as far as 1500 B.C. Hie early Romans called them salsus — today we call them sausage meats. But no matter what you call them, hot dogs or franks offer mighty good eating and are an extremely popular all-year-round favorite with young and old alike. Hie old-time frankfurter, which had its origin in Frankfort, Ger-

many, was held together by sheep casings which were tied at regular Intervals to give our present day frank shape. Today frankfiirts come in two or three varieties. Read the label — You may select all beef or all meat frankfurters, or frankfurters with cereal and/or dried skim milk added. A look at the label will tell you what is included. Some of the following ingredients are usually found on every label: Water or ice serves two purposes. It helps keep the meat cool< below 60 F) as it is being ground, and adds moisture for good texture and consistency. No more than 10% of water by weight may be added. Flavorings or spices may be listed. Commonly used are — pepper, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, mustard, coreander, sage and garlic. Wood smoke,. sugar dextrose, corn syrup and silt are often listed separately. Dry skim milk helps bind the meat in the frankfurter together. Federal law states that it cannot exceed 3.5 per cent of the weigh# of the frankfurter, and if cereal is used too, the combined weight of the milk and cereal cannot exceed 3.5 per cent. Some ‘franks bubble on the surface and brown very easily when pan fried or grilled. The milk in them is responsible for this. Cereal is also used to bind meat together. No more than 3.5 per cent of cereal may be used. Coloring is added in the form of dyes. There are 16 dyes now approved by the U. S. food and drug administration. Saffron, tumeric, cochineal and caratein are commonly used. Sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite are used to develop the natural red color in cured meats. Sodium erythorbate is often added to keep the meat’s color from changing during storage. Franks are economical, for they're 100 per cent edible — no waste; and since you can get at least four servings per pound, depending on size of appetites, the cost per serving is low. And because they’re precooked, they require little time in preparation. Another reason they’re so popular is the fact that one frank contains less than 100 calories and is high in. calcium, phosphorous and iron.
