A 25-cent advance was made in
where the state has to foot the bill for much of the relief and [an hog prices at the Indianapolis
- school expenses.
There is an outstanding exception—and a brilliant
example for the rest of that part of the state to follow—in St. Anthony, a small town in Du Bois county, which has raised itself by its bootstraps, in the form of strawberries: The fact that it was strawberries is insignificant; it is the
method that is important. The story starts®back in 1929 when the late Rev. Clement Klingel, worried about the heavy debt on his church, imminent foreclosures on farms of his parishioners and the general drop in incomes, looked for some way out. He wondered if it wouldn't be a good idea to diversify the old corn, wheat and livestock econ-| omy in that area and began thinking about the old strawberry patches at New Albany, Paoli, Borden and Pekin. He called the county agent, C. A. Nicholson, who in turn brought Monroe McCown, horticulturlist, down from Purdue. Father Klingel and 50 farmers talked things over with McCown who warned them that growing good berries was not enough; new selling methods would ‘have .to be used if they were to succeed in the long haul. Twenty-five farmers decided to try it but it took some tall digging to get enough money together just to buy the’plants. The first year was miserable. After a poor summer they were caught at Thanksgiving with subzero weather and not enough protecting straw. The next April and May brought a drought. Despite all this, they picked T44 crates of U 8. No. 1 berries the first year, trucked them to Paoli where they were shipped to Pittsburgh, realizing $423 a crate or more than $3000. Things gradually improved and in 1932, a good growing year, 18,000 crates of No. 1 berries were sold. Father Klingel died, and was succeeded by the Rev. Fr. Aloysius E.

|e who is now the unsalaried
manager for the DuBois County Fruit and Vegetable. Marketing association. In the past 10 years the 175 farmers, growing less than an acre apiece, have managed to average $30,000 a year, together, from strawberries alone. Inasmuch as this crop takes up only a few months, they can bring in extra money from other work. The recipe for this success? {Father Fischer says part of it is {the high-quality berries grown. They are “Aromas,” a good-looking berry, fine for shipping. Only the best ones are distributed nationally, the No. 2's being sold locally at lower prices. They've adopted the ideas of Fay |g Gaylord of Purdue in standardizing and top-grading the crop with the
“Hoosier Seal of Quality” so-the|y.;
housewife can be suré€ that if she buys any with that seal on the crate| or box, they will be fine quality not only on top but all the way down. It is much the same idea as “Diamond” walnuts or “Sunkist” oranges. . It is a Pledge of finest | quality.
Another reason for the success| .
is in streamlined marketing. The farmers don't truck their crop around, cutting each other's prices trying to unload all at onde. For several years they sold through a commission man who in turn jobbed the berries out. In recent years the Atlantic Commission Co. which is the fruit and vegetable|c buying subsidiary of the A. & P, has contracted to buy directly all the No. 1 berries they have to sell. These are picked nearly ripe, packed in refrigerator cars and
‘shipped to cities where the food
chain knows there is a ready market, such as Detroit and farther east, . In a nutshell, ‘they found what their soil was suited for, worked hard to produce the very finest quality crop, graded it very carefully and sold only the best (the proportion of No. 2 quality is small) under a label housewives would remember and sold through a big distribution set-up. »

OIL FIRMS DISAGREE
WASHINGTON, March 30 (U. P.).—A Petroleum Reserve Corp. contract to finance the proposed 1250-mile Arabian oil’ pipeline is still unsigned because the three companies involved are unable to agree on terms, it was learned today. The contract originally was to be completed about April 1, but the three firms—Stahdard oil of California, the Texas Co. and Gulf Exploration Co.—are in disagreement on several clauses, and are not prepared to sign and submit the document to the government for approval and subsequent negotiations

RUBBER TIRES FOR TRACTORS SCARCE
WASHINGTON, March 30 (U.P), Farmers have been asked to withhold any appeals for conversion of farm tractors from steel wheels to rubber tires. Except in extreme hardship cases, the war food administration explained in making the request, no more conversions are possible at present without depleting stocks of rear tires needed for replacements or without delaying the use of new tractors. The situation is so serious at the moment that some new tractors are being turned out “barefoot” and are standing’ in storage yards or are being. shipped without tires to deal-

CLAIMS ARMY, NAVY PAY LOSSES OF RFC
WASHINGTON, March 30. (U. P.) .—Senator George D. Aiken (R. Vt.) charged today that the Reconstruction Finance Corp, is using army, navy and maritime commission funds to bail its subsidiaries out of financial I Aiken said he would sponsor legislation to force an audit of RFC and its subsidiaries by Comptroller General Lindsay S. Warren. Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones, head of the RFC, has opposed such an audit in the past, arguing that RFC books were checked by private accountants. “We already have testimony that
Reserve Corp. takes a 17% cent a pound markup on rubber it sells to government agencies,” Aiken said. “This.came out in the agriculture subcommittee hearings on the synthetic rubber program.
that the same is true on other subsidiaries, such as Metals Reserve Co. and the Defense Plant Corp. I believe that RFC should be audited by the general accounting office and a true picture of its affairs reported to congress.” -He said that Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson told the senate committee on expenditures in executive departments that the war department “had arrangements with defense plants to bail them out and take over their property.”
