LIVESTOCK RECORD APPEARS ASSURED BASSE GARDENS ARE OF
‘Most Gratifying News in
Of Agriculture Report; Weather Still Factor. WASHINGTON, March 20 (U. P.).—Another year of
bumper food and feed production was indicated today by the agriculture department’s annual survey of farmers’ inten-
tions to plant.
Unless unfavorable weather blights crops this year, the department said, total food production probably will be larger than last year’s record. Record .production of live-
stock and livestock products Secretary of Agriculture) Claude R. Wickard, who had ‘asked farmers for all-out production this year despite the handicaps of short labor supplies and machines, hailed the - reports as “the most gratifying news the country has had in a long time.” The report of planting intentions showed
X" a 3.5 per cent increase in crop
acreage over last year. The food supply, even if up to present expectations, still would not be large enough to fill the demands for the military forces, lend-lease
4 8nd civilians, officials said.’ It is
“too early, they said, to predict more liberal food rations this year.
¥ War Crops Benefit
‘ The crop board said farmers
Intend substantial increases in the most vitally needed war crops, including potatoes, peanuts, soy beans, flaxseed, edible beans and peas, corn and sweet potatoes. Decreased acreage was -indicated only for sugar|is beets; cowpeas, oats and barley. Crop board officials said, however, that the yield per acre may not ‘ be as large as last year’s because of labor shortages and the probability that weather conditions will not again be as unusually favorable. If weather conditions are normgl, total crop production would be about 9 per ‘cent under last year, the board said. That decrease, however, likely would be more than offset by increased production of livestock and livestock products. Principal increases indicated are 6,000,000 acres more corn and 3,300,000 acres more of the principal oilseed crops—soy beans, peanuts and flaxseed. The indicated tofal acreage in all craps was 279,000,000, an increase of 10,000,000 acres over last year. : f Corn Acreage Down
The board said farmers intend to plant 96,827,000 acres in corn, compared with 100,000,000 acres requested by Mr. Wickard. Spring wheat acreage’ was indicated at 14,707,000 acres, which, with 37,480,000 acres planted last fall, would give the nation 52,187,000 acres of wheat, a decrease of 356,000 from last year. Planting intentions on other crops, compared with 1942 acreage and 1943 goals, included: Oats, 42,~! 638,000, compared with 42,662,000 acres last year and a goal of 37,300,~ 000; barley, 19,036,000, compared with 19,448,000 acres last year and a goal of 18,000,000 acres; dry edible beans, 2,480,000 acres, compared with 2,135,000 acres last year and a goal of 3,300,000 acres, and dry peas, 677,000, compared with 501,000 last year and a goal of 725,000 acres this year,

Tomatoes Only , Exception; Biggest Boosts ‘Where Needed Most.’
With the possible exception of tomatoes, Indiana farmers intend to exceed last year’s food production, the Indiana AAA reported today. In most cases acreage and estimated production will also exceed the government goals, according to L. M. Vogler, AAA chairman. Mr, Vogler said the greatest increases—in poultry, pork and milk cows—are “where they are needed most.” He said that the tomato and canning peas outlook is discouraging at present, but even so is “better than at the same time last year.” Here is the result of an AAA survey covering 48 per cent of the crop land in the state: CROP 9% of 42 Goal Corn 104 Wheat 89 Cattle, calveS....ci00.+..106 101 Milk COWS...c0v00000i0e. 107 102 Sheep ......... 98 | 109 Hens, pullets for eggs. oss121 106 Sows to Farrow— In spring... asssanasss .129 In fall...........c0ve. 144 Chickens, for meat,.....121 .

ALL-YEAR VALUE
Careful Study Required to!
Supply Food for Each Season.
The importance of considering|
the garden as a source of supply
| for the entire year should not be
overlooked by victory gardeners. Year-round planning, which includes both the raising of crops and proper storing and canning, requires careful study of the family’s needs. This should be done before the garden plan is made. Divide the year into seasons and list vegetables that are the family’s favorites. Make separate lists for each period. With these lists in mind lay out the garden plan, taking care to stagger the crops so that some of the vegetables are maturing from frost to frost.
Three Seasons
There are three main planting seasons—spring, midsummer and fall. Not all vegetables may be planted in each one so the gardener who wants a large yield of a certain crop must plant according to the habits of the crop. For example, it’s best to depend on the early crop of peas for canning, leaving the late peas for table use. Some vegetables—beans, cabbage, peppers and corn—Imay be planted in succession to bear over a long period of time. In these cases it is not necessary to can the early crop. Canning should be done whenever there is a surplus. Time, money and vitamins will be saved, however, if the housewife serves fresh vegetables during the growing season and stores the late crops whenever possible.
Store These Crops
Vegetables which may be successfully stored include cabbage, turnips, carrots, beets, kohlrabi, wine ter radishes, rutabagas, onions, potatoes, squash, pumpkins, parsnips, salsify, horseradish, sweet potatoes, celery, leek, endive, head lettuce, = cauliflower, garlic and brussels sprouts. Crops which may be dried and stored include beans, onions, garlic, peppers, popcorn, dill and sage. When winter comes, the gardening family using the year-round plan will have storeroom shelves lined with canned food. In the basement, bins will be filled with potatoes and sand boxes, with fresh root . crops. Green .tomatoes, if picked before the first frost, may be ripened there and will keep for about a month. Cabbage and let=tuce will be buried in outdoor pits. For a supply of fresh greens during the midwinter months, the family will have witloof chicory er French endive flourishing in the cellar or pepper grass in a seed flat at a sunny window.
ORGANIZE COURT FOR ORDER OF AMARANTH
The first court of the Order of Amaranth in Kentucky will be organized next Saturday by Mrs. Al Hermann, first royal matron of Indianapolis court 1 and deputy supreme royal matron to Bluegrass state. : The officers of Indianapolis court will have charge of the organization.

How to Raise Chickens—No. 6
Flocks Must Be Easy Prey to
Chickens and other poultry are susceptible to numerous diseases and parasites. As a rule these enemies to health are more serious and more likely to spread in large flocks of several hundred birds than in the average backyard flock. In either case the flock owner can do much to protect his birds by attention to preventive and control measures. Keeping disease out of the flock is easier and cheaper than combating it later. All infections that attack poultry are brought onto the the premises in some manner—usually by the introduction of new birds, the use of
| borrowed equipment, or even on the
shoes of the caretaker who may have visited neighboring flocks. Because of dangers of this kind, the purchasing or borrowing of brood hens for hatching is a questionable practice from a health standpoint. Such hens not only introduce any of several diseases, but they harbor lice, worms and other parasites ‘which may attack the newly hatched chickens. When chickens are raised on the same ground year after year without sanitary precautions, the inroads of diseases and parasites tend to become more serious. Infected organisms increase in numbers and develop an “army of occupation” that impairs the th of the chickens and may eventually cause death. ; Keep Grounds Clean The capable flock owner protects the health of .his birds by maintaining a clean poultry house and yard and by proper disposal of the manure, Poultry manure is excellent fertilizer for the garden or orchard. Mixing it with raw phosphate helps to keep down offensive odor. The manure may be spread on land at once or stored in a dry place, screened from flies. The principal health point in the handling of manure is to remove it from the poultry house and yard frequently and not allow the flock to range on land .to which fresh

Many Diseases
poultry manure has been added. If the flock is not kept away from it, eggs or larvae of internal parasites may be picked up. The flock owner should obtain a government or state publication describing poultry diseases so that he can recognize them promptly when they appear. Healthy chickens do ngt require drugs. Remedies and curative treatments for most of the devastating contagious diseases are useless. : In the small flock, the best practice is to kill and then either bury or burn any birds affected with serious diseases. In the case of valuable stock, consult a veterinarian to obtain an accurate diagnosis and procedure for protecting the health of the remaining flock. Farmers’ bulletin 1652, “Diseases and Parasites of Poultry,” is available upon application to the U, S. department of agriculture,

CEILING IS SEEN FOR LIVESTOCK
Produsers Protest, but 1] Foresees Need After Meat Is Ratiored.
[| WASHINGTON, March 20 (UP) —Price administration oficials pre- ' |dicted today that price ceilings on
livestock * will become necessary within two weeks after the meat
1 rationing program goes into effect lon March 29, despite the contention ‘lof producers that control of the de-
mand will automatically Operate as
la control of the supply.
Several hundred livestock men
{fron the West and Midwest met
with OPA officials this week and protested .a ceiling which the price agency had planned to establish
| |along with the meat rationing pro-
gram.
The producers’ main argument
was that such controls would tend to disorganize the industry, create idespread black market, disco e initiative and require. a police force of 250,000 investigators, which they said would be -impossible. Although the producers failed to convince the OPA, they did win an indefinite postponement when it became evident that congressional sentiment was almost, wholly behind them: The postponement will allow some time for testing the producers’ contention that meat rationing will control the supply, making livestock price ceilings unnecessary. One OPA officials said today he felt ‘certain that price ceilings would have to be established not
later than the middle of April,
NATIONAL INCOME
NEARS 120 BILLION
WASHINGTON, March 20 w. P.).—National income for 1942 reached the record level of $119,800,000,000 and will continue rising to a new high this year of about $140,000,000,000, Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones reported today. The unprecedented 1942 figure was some $24,000,000,000 over the 1941 total. The gross national product, the money value of the nation’s total production, also topped all previous figures at $151,600,000,000, an increase of. almost 20 pet cent over 1941, and will probably reach $180,000,000,000 this year,

I STRAUSS SAYS:
~ ~
BY EARL RICHERT
ALTHOUGH THEY think that a new home for Yodiana’s. governs is needed, many influential Democrats ‘are ‘hoping that Governor Schricker does not approve the purchase of the Trimble mansion on
N. Meridian st.
They think it would be- bad ‘politics from the governor's standpoint, especially if he is a candidate for the U. 8. senate next year.
“How,” asks one prominent Democrat, “can we shout during the next campaign about: the salary increases and the other expensive acts of the legislature when the Republicans can point out that the governor moved into an $85,000 mansion bought through an act of the legislature?”
These Democrats think they
-smell a “rat” in the whole affair,
They note that the G. O. P.controlled legislature in appropri~ ating $85,000 for the Trimble mansion specifically provided that the money could be expended only with . the approval of ‘the Democratic-controlled state budg=et committee and the governor, Since the budget committee is appointed hy the governor, this puts the entire responsibility, in the final analysis, on the shoulders of the governor. The legislature by its action simply made it possible for purchase of the: Trimble home. (No other mansion can be purchased either because the appropriation is specifically for the Trimble estate.) These “anti-purchase” Democrats think that if the legislature had been sincere in its desire to obtain a new governor's mansion it could have gone ahead and completed the transaction during the session. While he has delayed giving a
“yes”, or “no” until after he and
Mrs. Schricker inspect the mansion, the governor does not seem particularly anxious: to make the transaction. ; “As far as we're concerned,” he says, referring to himself and Mrs. Schricker, “we’d just as soon stay where we are.” 2 = = THE CITY HALL-COURT-HOUSE G. O. P. combine reportedly is preparing to invade the statehouse to demand that the Republican sstate officials deal them in on patronage. The Daniels - Bradford - Ostrom regular organization ‘has been getting practically all the local patronage in the statehouse and
the anti-organization Republicans ‘naturally don’t like it. 3 - Forewarned of all this, Secre-
tary of State Rue,Alexander and
State Auditor Richard T. James have. conferred and decided that they will stick by their guns—ap-~ pointing only those approved by the county chairman, the district. chairman and the state chairman. That means,.in short, that the “antis” will get nothing of major
importance in the statehouse.
