INDIANA HAS LOTS OF MONEY IN POCKETS

Economic Survey Shows Hoosierland In Thriving* Financial Condition Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 23. Kenneth L. Schellie, director of the Indiana Economic Council, presented statistics today which he said proved that Indiana is in excellent economic condition now. In an address before a meeting of the Indiana Academy of Social Sciences in Indianapolis, Schellie declared that the economic development and growth of the state is going forward at a rapid pace. Based on current studies of the Economic Council, Schellie said that the following events are occurring in Indiana now which are significant economically and socially: “1. Our level of living is rising. “2. Our level of income will rise still more if we can achieve a better balance among the three major employment categories—agriculture, manufacturing and service. s “3. The industrial migration offers an opportunity to achieve that balance. “4. The state is conscious of its obligations and throught the Economic Council and the Department of Commerce and Public Relations, it is making known the potential strength and wealth of the state.

“5. The communities of the state are beginning to recognize their obligations in meeting the challenge of the day—an opportunity to be better off than we are. “6. The people of our cities are decentralizing themselves in search of better living condition —a situation that presents a serious problem to the rural communities and may inspire the cities to provide the type of environment in which people will want, and will continue to want to five.’’ Schellie pointed out that from 1939 through 1946, Indiana’s rate of increase in the matter of total incomes has exceeded all of the other Midwest Great Lakes states, including Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin, anjl added: “Furthermore, we have experienced a real increase in wealth in spite of the price revolution which we are experiencing, inasmuch as our per capita income has risen during the same period by only 58 per cent.” With respect to a better balance of employment, Schellie said a further decline in the proportion of the population engaged in agriculture will be required and that this reduction should be heaviest in the poor farm land areas.

“HELPrsaiif Midwest Farmers DeKalb “Saves Day” for Thousands by Supplying Early Seed in Water-Soaked Midwest Farming Areas

On June 11th, Abe Steiner of Allen County, Indiana, was just starting to plow his field. (See picture on right.) On June 13th he planted it to an early maturing DeKalb Hybrid variety, and on October Ist he said, “Just look at this DeKalb corn—it’s under 30 percent moisture and is ready to crib.” Yes, DeKalb early maturing hybrid varieties “saved the day” for Abe and hundreds of other Indiana and Ohio farmers, in what otherwise would have been a disastrous year. Because of DeKalb’s widespread seed production fields, it was possible to ship in early seed from undamaged seed production areas to Indiana and Ohio farmers who otherwise would not have had a chance of making a corn crop. And DeKalb “came through” with mature corn that means the difference between profit and loss to Midwestern farmers. .• ■ a •

DeKalb Planted* on June 11-“ Made” Oct. 1st 1 Edwin “Bud” Smith'* and his brother, William, farm a nice piece of Indiana land near Monroeville. They’ve raised DeKalb Corn for the past 10 years—always with a good crop. This year, like many other farmers, they were “way late” in getting their corn in—-June 11th to be exact. The picture of Edwin and his son filling the planter box was taken on that date. They planted an early maturing DeKalb variety and on Oct. Ist, “Bud” and Bill had their picture taken in the same field—only this time with a fine, mature crop of DeKalb Hybrid Corn. Yes, this year, the Smith Brothers have mature corn —not roastin’ ears—even in spite of a late, cold, wet spring—and as they say, “thanks to DeKalb.”
