SEVEN COUNTIES IN EXPERIMENT

Wabash Project Tackles Problem of Rural Rehabilitation.

By TIM TIPPETT Times Staff Writer

SHELBYVILLE, Oct. 19.—An 8500acre “test tube” in Southern Indiana today is preparing the experiment by which the Farm Security Administration hopes to solve the rural rehabilitation problem of the nation. From here to Vincennes stretches the Wabash Farms Project of the FSA Resettlement Division started three years ago. It includes land in Shelby, Decatur, Knox, Sullivan, Daviess, Martin and Brown Counties. FSA authorities are convinced of the need for rural rehabilitation. The task of field representatives here is to find the best methods to re-establish farmers on land of their own, In two years, more or less, the Wabash Farms project is to be completed with 119 families established on 54 single and co-operative farms. At present only 17 single units have been set up but the others are under construction. The average size of the single units is about 84 acres. Similar projects are located in Missouri and Ohio, but officials say they do not compare with the Wabash experiment in size. The underlying purpose of this project, and the others expected to follow it elsewhere in Indiana snd in other states is to place on a paying basis land which in the past has been farmed with such disregard for crop rotation and dangers of soil erosion that its agricultural base has become depleted, according to Irvin Morris, community manager for the project.

Land Surveyed

When FSA officials inaugurated this rehabilitation ‘guinea pig,” they started in Knox and Shelby Counties and worked toward the

middle. Surveys were made for land which

was nonproductive and unable to support its tenants. Then the tracts were purchased with Government funds. Officials say that condemnation proceedings were required only when they were necessary to clarify the titles. The tenants are selected carefully. Some already are on the land and others are brought from other farms which are not productive. The U. S. Government is the landlord, leasing the land to the tenant for an indefinite length of time and collecting the rent, a “pominal sum. ., The FSA repairs the buildings, or builds new ones if necessary. It then loans the tenant sufficient capital to purchase equipment and seeds for his first farming venture on the new land.

Purchase Possible

Under the present arrangement, the tenant works the ground for a

two-year probationary period. Then,

Spurn Aid For Victims

Of Mad Dog

MENLO PARK, Cal. Oct. 19 (U. P.)—Two children, believed to have been bitten or scratched by a rabid dog, were refused the Pasteur treatment today by their parents. Rabies or hydrophobia almost always develops from the bite of a mad dog and hydrophobia causes one of the most agonizing deaths known... . _ The children were Robert Stentiford, 14, and Ruth Hunnel, 14. They were bitten last -. Thursday —seven days 8ago. The period of incubation for. the hydrophobia virus—transmitted to humans through the saliva of infected dogs—is from six weeks to three months. The Pasteur treatment has been known to be effective when given three weeks after the virus is introduced. Health authorities called on the parents and reported that they had objected to the Pasteur treatment on two grounds | —that the children had not been badly bitten and that the Pasteur treatment was not infallible. Six persons were bitten by the mad terrier. It was killed and a bacteriological exami=nation determined that it was infected with rabies. The other four persons are undergoing the Pasteur treatment.

Dentist Date Is Broken as Celebration

Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. —Gordon Tierney, strapping son of Mrs. Ethel Tierney of Senator Minton’s office staff, celebrated his 16th birthday Monday by not going to the dentist. Calling his mother from high school at noon, he reminded her that it was his birthday and he intended to celebrate a bit. Thinking to join in the fun, she suggested dinner downtown and a movie afterward. “No,” said the son. “All I want to do is break that dentist date.”

notifies the Government to that effect and negotiations for the purchase of the land are started.

FSA representatives and the tenant work out a system of payments on a 40-year contract based on productiveness of the land. The tenant may have electricity at the usual REMC rates of $2.50 monthly minimum for the first two iy and a membership payment o The tenant, FSA officials emphasize, is not forced to adopt any certain farming method, but experts are, available to advise and educate. Thus, with a plan of education and reconstruction, officials hope to restore to wornout land the fertility it has lost through years of waste.

Reports that vagrants and motorists are molesting women and girls continued today despite announcement of a police drive against offenders. Meanwhile, police were investigating a report that a 16-year-old Broad Ripple High School pupil was slugged and robbed of $12. Two men asked a 14-year-old Kildare Ave. girl to get into their car,

the girl’'s mother told police. The girl drove away with them but returned home later, police said. The screams of Elizabeth Filmore, 28, of 1022 N. West St., frightened away a man who appeared at her kitchen window last night, she reported to police. Another prowler fled from the front door of the home of Myrah

Clinton Keller, 3745 Ruckle St., the Broad Ripple pupil, reported that a man slipped up behind him and knocked him unconscious as he was walking in the first block of W. 34th St. His money was gone when he regained consciousness, he told police. Burglars stole $232 in cash, clothing, jewelry and household goods from the home of Harry Mann Jr., 549 Tecumseh St.; $25 worth of

cigars and cigarets and $1 in cash from a store at 1651 E. Minnesota St., and an unestimated amount of cigarets and money from a filling station at 38th St. and Capitol Ave. police said. Sarah Jarrett, 43, of 131 N. Harding St., said a youth snatched her purse while she was walking along the 1000 block of W. Washington St.

Halloween

Pranksters Beat the Gun

Two 15-year-old boys who got mixed up last night over - a matter of dates and definition knew better today, police believed. In the first place, the lads thought that Halloween was near enough to let them get away with a prank or two. In the second place, they figured. that breaking windows came under the heading of ‘ pranks. Crime Prevention Bureau officers lectured the boys in company with their parents today. Other pre-Halloween “pranksters” were reported but not caught by Howard Pfeiffer, 1627 Harlan St., who lost his porch swing; Harvey Kares, 2720 Guilford Ave., who had garbage thrown on his front porch, and Karl Kreck, 1830 Commerce Ave. whose poten furniture was tampered with.
