REMINDER TO WOOL GROWERS: Wool growers are reminded that it is important to keep ade- •’ quate records of their sales so that they will be able to make proper applications for payments under the wool Incentive payment. Sales records for unshorn lambs sold should include the name of the buyer, his signature, the name of the seller, the number and liveweight of the lambs sold and the ‘description "unslwtn.” If the “unshorn" is not entered on the sales invoice, the invoice is unacceptable unlass corrected by the buyer. Invoices should be checked , very carefully to see that all reb- quired information is listed. Sales records for shorn wool - 'should contain the name of the buyer, hte signature, the name of the seller and the number o* pounds of shorn wool sold and the amount of sale. Applications must be filed in the county ASCS office in which the grower’s farm is listed. “ Wool and lambs sold during the calendar year January 1, 1064 through December 31, 1964 will qualify for incentive payment for the 1964 marketing year. December 31 is the final date sales however, applications ’may be filed through January 31. 1965. Applications should be filed as soon as all 1964 sales are completed, so that they will not be forgotten. ’ r* Lamb feeders should keep ac- • *iurate records which will establish the length of time they have ’jbwned lambi on which they apply _for payment. Lamb payments »pre made only on lambs which a 'producer has owned for 30 days or more, and the amount of payment is based on weight gain of - MUSCULAR ACHES-PAINS Take pruVO tablets when you want temporary relief from minor aches and pains and body stifT- . ness often associated with Arthritis.

Outstanding approvals carry deadline dates of either November 15 or December 15. This means that practices must be completed and reported by those dates. Farmers are urged to check their dates to be sure. Approval canceled if not reported or a request far extension of time has not been granted by the deadline date. Extensions cannot be granted for completion of the practice after December 31, 1964. However, if the practice has not been started another application may be filled for the 1965 program, after January 1, 1965 USDA BUYS 15.7 MILLION POUNDB OF BEEF: The USDA has just bought 13,723,540 pounds of beef for distribution to schools, institutions, and needy families. These purchases included 4 809,000 pounds of choice grade and 1,134,000 pounds of food grade frozen ground b?<*f and boneless roasts for distribution to schools ami institutions, and 9.780,540 pounds of canned beef of cutter grade and higher for distribution to needy families. USDA said the substantially increased purchase of canned beef was a result of seasonally heavy cow marketings. Total purchases since buying began March 2 amount to 285,774,030 pounds at a cost of >161,100,000. BELGIANS PROMOTE U. 8. FOODS: As a result of contacts made at the recent U. S. foods exhibit at the U. S. trade center in Frankfurt. one of Belgium’s top department store chains plans to feature American foals in Its food departments and cafeterias, Bon Marche, which has eight stores in leading Nelgian cities, will also promote other U. S. commodities Products which particularly attracted the attention of their food and restaurant director were poultry, rolls, cake, frosting mixes, and a variety of seasoningis. Also at Frankfurt, German food importers suggested that special "American Week" promo-

tions would create demand tor U. S. products. U. 8. FOODS VERSUS OLYMPIC GAMES: Ralsen bread was promoted at the 1964 Olympic games in Tokyo. Bread loaves made with U. £. wheat and raisens — along with a variety of other U. S. foods — were served to more than 8,500 athletes and officials staying at the Olympic Village from September 15 through November 4. SECRETARY FREEMAN CALLS FOR EXPANDED SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM: Secretary of agriculture Orville L. Freeman recently coupled an announcement that a record number of children are taxing part in the school lunch program with a plea for redoubled efforts to extend it to the millions of needy children who are still left out. The secretary slated: "We can be proud of the fact that 17 million youngsters in all walks of life, or one-third of our children in elementary and secondary schools, enjoy complete lunches every day at tow prices made possible by the national school lunch program, a ngw record for the United States, unmatched anywhere else in the world. But it shouldn't blind us to fact that two-thirds of our children are not participating, and many of them are the one* who need school lunches the most.” Last year, some 65,(MX) children In "pockets of need” in 14 states were able to obtain lunches free or at minimum costs because of special assistance provided for the first time from cash and U. S. department of agriculture food donations to selected needy schools. About 35 million pupils attend the 70,060 schools participating in the national school lunch program, and constitute about three-fourths of the total enrollment in elementary and secondary schools. However, only half of the children in these schools take part in the school lunch program. GROCERY BILLS ARE LOWER, NOT HIGHER: 93 nonfarmers out of 100 Americans hear from wme people that our grocery bills are higher because farmers are getting a little fairer share of income in this prosperous country with the help of the farm programs. The fact is that Americans never ate better than they do now

t You pay only 20% of the toss, even If It Is only one dollar. Farm Bureau Insuiance pays 80% of each toss, up to S2OO . . . and 100% of the loss above that. The most you oan ever pay on one toss la S4O. even If your car la totally demolished. Here Is protection that relieves you of the financial strain of every accident, yet the premium io comparatively tow. That's why 84% of our policyholders who carry collision insurance, are protected with this 80-20 Collision coverage.

— or for leas of a'bfte on the pay cheek. The average American dad only has to give mother 19 cents out of his pay check dollar to pay the grocer. In europe the grocer would get 25 to 40 centa and in Russia 50 eents—and the family wouldn’t get so much good food, either. The farmer gets so little out of what you pay for an item — like 2*4 cents for the wheat in a 22cent loaf of bread — that you wouldn't find your grocery bill lower even if the farmer’* little bit took a big cut. When you pay 81 for a food product that started out from a farm, only 37 cents of it. on the average, goes back to the farm. The other 63 cents you pay — maybe part of it to yourself as a middleman —for services of warehouses, freight, processors and merchandisers? FARM PRODUCTION — FUTURE PROSPECTS: A question has been asked “will not the big increase in population soon use up all the productive capacity of this country?” The U. S. department of agriculture projects indicate that as late as 1980, we shall need no more acres in row crop and small grain production that we now have, (in 1964 at least 60 million' acres c! our cropland —1 acre in 6 — recently producing such crops was set aside through crop diversion programs.) Although the U. S. population is projected to increase to 261 million by 1980, an increase of 45 per cent over 1960, there will be need for 51 million acres less cropland than in 1960 if farmers continue their current rate of adopting management methods and techniques that provide increased yields per acre. Programs to keep acreage out of crop production and to conserve our agricultural resources are essential to the preservation of our system of family farms. DID YOU KNOW THAT?? 1. The United States is the world’s biggest farm exporter, <6O per cent of our wheat, 50 per cent of our rice, 25 per cent of our unmanufactured tobacco, 33 per cent of our soybeans, 10 per cent of our feed grains, and 10 per cent of our "variety" meats — the product of one acre in every 4 Ik exported), ‘ 2. The United States is the second largest importer of agricultural commodities (about one-halt of these are complementary — not produced here — coffee, tea and rubber — the balance supplementary —of which we produce less than our needs, or of special types differing from our own — such as oriental tobaccos, fancy cheese and off-season produce.) 3. Tariff revenues directly benefit many farmers and ranchers • they finance incentive payments to wool producers). 4. Current policy is to apply controls to agricultural imports whenever they are harmful or excessive. 5 Our negotiators are trying hard to open wider the door to the richest foreign market area — Western Europe's common market. THE SAFETY CORNER: For the records — Americans are great ones for records. They love to see them broken. They cheer anything that is bigger, better, higher, faster than anything has gone before. According to the records — last year’s 42,700 people killed on our street s and highways is a five per cent Increase over the year before: 3,460,000 people injured • some of them reduced to permanent disability) is a three and a half per cent increase over 1962 Only a small percentage of accidents can be blamed on the

machfoea we drive. The motorist, not the motor, causes almost ninety per cent of all automobile accidents. Are we proud of this record? It is a record of disregard for the simple demands of caution, courtesy and common sense. In spite of all the devices conceived to protect drivers against their own carelessness — improved highways, better tires, safety belts, padded dashboards and flexible steering wheels — the number of people killed and injured continues to rise. At the end of 1964 — what will be the score? Will you be a spectator, or an active participant in this grim and ghastly game? DON’T BE A “ME-FIRST ON THE HIGHWAY — BE COURTEOUS. HI Neighbors I The monthly meeting of the Adams county soil and water conservation district board of supervisors was held Monday evening in the soil conservation office at 205 S. First street, according to Hugh David Mosser, chairman of the board. All supervisors, Jerry Setser, work unit conservationist; Sam Bell, soil conservation technician; Ernest Lesiuk, county agent, and Charlotte Lindahl, the district’s part time clerk, attended this meeting. Plans are being made for the district’s annual meeting to be held January 28, 1965, in the Adams Central cafeteria. The district has arranged for the meal to be catered by the Dutch Mill restaurant. Plans for an interesting speaker are also being made. The tickets for the annual meeting will be sent to the district cooperators as they have in the past few years. But, the public is invited to this meeting and we are sure it will be a very interesting and entertaining evening. More on this meeting in later articles. Paul Kohne, Hugh David Mosser, Chester Isch, Russel Mitchel, and Burl Johnson, joint representative for Adams and Wells counties, will attend the Indiana association of soil and water conservation districts' 22nd annual meeting to be held November 30, in the Memorial Center at Purdue University. The next district board meeting will be held December 14, in the soil conservation office at Kendallville.

Slate Traffic Toll Tops 1,200 Mark By United Frew International Indiana’s 1964 traffic deaths topped the 1,200 mark Monday when three Michigan City women were killed in a , erash near their hometown, raising the toil to 1,201 compared with 1,152 a year ago. State Police jailed the truck driver, Larry Keyes, 27, Vandalia, 111., after his truck stalled across U.S. 20. Dead were Pauline Schults, 43, Anna Bates, 75, and Lena Dauson, 64. Iva Dillingham, 69, and Mrs. Anthony Serhal, 63, also of Michigan City, were injured. The Indiana Highway Department Monday had posted “No u-turn” signs at the spot Keyes made a turn and stalled the truck, police said. Keyes, who was not hurt, was jailed at LaPorte County Jail on charges of making an improper turn. The victims’ car rammed the left rear wheel of the huge truck. Carl W. Rader, 32, Kempton, was killed Monday, when his car skidded broadside into a truck driven by Norris Utley, Tipton, at the intersection of Indiana 28 and U.S. 31 in Tipton County. Rex A. carroll, 22, Huntington, was killed Monday when his car rammed another on U.S. 24 near the Allen-Whitley County line. Earlier Monday, Edward Gilliatt, 40, Charlestown, died in Clark County Hospital at Jeffersonville of injuries suffered in an accident Nov. 10. Gary's First City Judge Dies Monday GARY, Ind.

County Agent’s Corner

By: Eraect J. Lestak County Extemton Agent Agriculture Purdue University’s school of agriculture will offer two eightweek courses in- agriculture, animal agriculture and general agriculture, beginning January 4, 1965. Students will be required to take five core subjects, farm management, field machinery and farm power, community leadership, crop production and soil management, feeds and feeding. In addition two major subjects and two elective subjects are re-, quired. The total cost for Indiana students ranges from about $265 to 300. Scholarships are available from member banks of the Indiana state bankers association, the Sears Roebuck foundation, and the Indiana Farm Bureau. Persons 18 years old and older with a good common school education may attend, no entrance examination is required. Any person interested in the 1965 eightweeks short course in agriculture can contact the county extension office in December for further information. Trees, Shrubs Consider planting trees and shrubs this fall which attract birds. Hemlock and white pine are good evergreen varieties for attracting birds. Russian olive and cockspur hawthorn are excellent small trees, ones that lose their leaves in the winter and still attract birds. For shrubs, choose a < viburnum or silky dogwood. Either American cranberry bush viburnum or nannyberry viburnum will do, these are fairly large shrubs and lose their leaves in the winter. Both do well in the sun or part shade. The silk dogwood is lower growing then the two viburnums and has attractive blossoms in the spring and fine berries in the fall. It has a fine red twig color all winter. Before you plant be sure to choose a good spot. The side or back of your yard is excellent, and it is well to have trees in the backyard and shrubs in the foreground. — — — _i_ Union Chapel Men To Meet Thursday Night* The monthly meeting of the Union Chapel Evangelical United Brethren men will be held at the church Thursday evening at 7:30 o’clock.

New Soybean Test The state seed testing laboratory at Purdue University will put into operation this winter a new varietal purity test for soybeans. The purpose of the test is to check the accuracy of varietal labeling on the seed tag. Five phytophthora rot resistant varieties or soybeans, Harosoy 63, Clark, 63, Hawkeye 63, Lindarin 63, and Chippewa 64, have been released. Seed samples of these varieties, drawn by the steed control inspectors, will be planted and inoculated with this disease. These varieties are 100 per cent resistant and will not be affected by the inoculation. Susceptible varieties will die quickly. Thus the labeling can be verified or proved false in a short time. Similar tests already have been applied to detect wilt resistance in alfalfa, rust in oats and anthracnose in red clover. « This new testing procedure was developed by Purdue’s depart- . ment of botany and plant pathoi logy in cooperation with the U. S. • department of agriculture and the Indiana agricultural experiment station at Purdue. I : Chicago Livestock ; Show Opens Nov. 27 CHICAGO, 111. — Stockmen, dairymen, and farm youths from 37 states and Canada will be exhibiting over 8,000 prize purebred animals at the 1964 international livestock exposition and horse 1 show, to be held here November 27 to December 5 in the International Amphitheatre. It will be the 65th anniversary ’ of this event as the final and fore- , most stock show of the continent. The year’s biggest assembly of I purebred livestock will feature ex- , hibits of 39 breeds of beef and dairy cattle, horses, sheep, and swine that will fill to capacity the 13-acre area of the Amphitheatre. They will be coming from such far separate and distant parts as Canada and Louisiana, Maine and California. lowa Entrants Lead lowa leads among all the states from which entries have been re- > ceived, the show management re- [ ports. 6wners from 68 counties of • the state have listed entries.. 111- ) inois stands second in county re- • presentation, with owners from 61 ; counties having registered entries; t and Indiana is third with a 45 county representation. I Other states reported with large : exhibitor participation are Ohio, i Wisconsin, Missouri, Pennsylvan- ■ ia, Virginia, and New York. 1 Championship rodeo — called North America’s roughest, competitive sport — spurs into the Chicago exposition for 14 performances in conjunction with the international horse show. The two events will attract an entry of over 600 horees. In the rodeo, 200 to 300 big-hat-ted contenders will be seen here in pursuit of a prize money packet of $7500 offered in five fast action events that include saddle and bareback bronc-riding, calfroping, steer-wrestling,' and bullriding. Among the first entries for the Chicago contests, in which members of the rodeo comboys association will be competing, are Ronnie Rossen of Broadus, Mont., world champion bull-rider in 1961 and rated Bth for the same title in the current season’s standings, and Joe Green of Sulphur, Okla., in 12th place nationally this year all bull-riders.
