Wasn't that a wonderful rain that we received this past week, which came just at the right time to save our gardens and the farmers crops. The com is making ears and the fields of com just look great since the rains, as you drive through the countryside. Have you ever visited and shopped at the Farmers Market in South Bend? If not. you should go now as they have everything home grown and fresh to buy and eat. It’s fun to go early in the morning and eat breakfast at their friendly restaurant before you start to look and shop. They also have antiques, flowers and plants, jewelry, baked goods and a large candy department. Plan now to go and see all the fresh fruits and vegetables.

INDIANA POLICE LEAD THE NATION IN MARIJUANA ERIDACATION Indiana State Police led the nation for the fourth consecutive year in the number of total marijuan plants eradicated. In 1988, the Indiana State Police eradicated 73 million plants. This program continues again this year. The 1989 Marijuana Eradication Program will be carried out by the cooperative efforts of the Indiana State Police and the Indiana Farm Bureau. Inc. with the help of law enforcement agencies and the Future Farmers of America.

fices who will then contact enforcement officers. The role of the members of Future Farmes of America will be to serve as a compliment to the statewide eradication efforts of the Farm Bureau and the law enforcement agencies by broadening awareness throughout the state. Spraying will take place from mid-lune through August. The Indiana State Police will supply the spray chemicals which will be purchased with monies designated for this project. The farmer or land owner will be consulted prior to spraying and the Indiana State Police will be present while all spraying is in progress. The farmers will supply their own spraying equipment. Marijuana eradication efforts have been highly successful. As long as marijuana grows in Indiana. drug dealers have the chance to cultivate the crop and this must be halted by efforts of citizens and law enforcement agencies. The success of the pro ject will depend upon the cooperation of all participating organizations and individuals.
