New rides may and fan dancers may go, but the merry-go-round and ferris wheel Keep on rolling—and making money. So says the manager of the Johny J. Jones shows at the State Fair. And a glance will prove his contention. Crowds will hesitate in front of various attractions nd listen to the barkers. Scie of them g0 in, a lot move on. But there aren't any barkers for the old revolving standbys. and

Two hours later the nurse met him standing in front of the hospital and looking solemnly at another scratched finger. “Now what's the matter, buddy?” the nurse queried. “Oh, you wrapped this finger up and now this one hurts worse,” he said, smiling sheepishly at the pretty nurse. “So, now, I think you ought to fix this one, too, don’t you?” After it was bandaged, he left again, saying he was on his way “to pet the big pigs and might be back again if they scratch me.” »

By JOE COLLIER BOUT 13 vears ago the Indiana potato bug the potato was farmer was ready to give up his personal potato Then Purdue University sent potato missionaries into the field to
cidedly bullish
preach a gospel of seed selection offensvie Eighteen years ago the acre that would produce 70 to 80 bushels of potatoes was a pretty good Hoosier acre. Last year one farmer produced more than 600 bushels an acre, and that meant bushels of No. 1 potatoes. The lesser grades were culled out. And so. potatoes now are being grown commercially in the state, and there is every indication, Purdue experts say, that the State will some day rank with the other great states—Wisconsin, the others
Michigan and
HIS vear there are about 33.000 acres out in potatoes and the production will be about 5.500,000 bushels for an income of about $2.500000, Thus, potatoes are beginning to become an important art of the Indiana farm meceme But 18 years ago, before Purdue sent its missionaries into the field, many Hoosier farms had even abandoned their own potato patches. They couldnt beat out the bugs and the diseases that attack potatoes. They felt whipped, and they started to buy potatoes The Purdue experts taught the farmers how to treat their seed and handle their patches so that they would produce potatoes. The first idea merely was to give the farmers information he could use in growing them for his own consumption It was so successful that soon commercial growing methods were being taught. Now, the potato bug is practically vanquished through spraying and the whole industry is looking up. Maybe some day, Purdue experts say, Indiana will grow as many potatoes as it eats. This year it has produced only about half as many.
