€. C. C. Workers Avallable For Work on Drainage Projects In Noble County

Workers from the Fort Wayne C. C. C. Camp are available for Noble County drainage maintenance @projects, County Agent M. A. WNye has been advised. David H. Harke, drainage specialist of the Agricultural Extension Department of Purdue University, recently called upon Mr. Nye and discussed the matter with him with the thought that, through hig contact with the farmers theagent may familiarize the farmers ‘with what the camp has to offer. Tt may be of interest to citizens in general to know that during the first seven months of existence from August 1935 to February the 36 drainage camps of the Midwest have excavated more than 2,000,000 cubic yards of dirt from ditches and have cleared over 44,000,000 square yards of undergrowth from ditch banks. This gross excavation s equivalent to several times the volame 0L the Empire state building and the area of clearing would equal the area of a modern pavemeut from New York to Los Angeles. Landowners wishing to reduce costs of cleaning or dredging ditches can obtain the cooperation of the camp through agreements which provide that the applicants rent or other wise obtain the use of a nexcavaior which they, in turn loan to the camp. The camp furnisheg fuel and an operator. [Likewise, the applicants may loan teams to Bureau to be used upon their work and may loan their own trucks or tractors, for which the Bureau furnishes the fuel, man-power is provided by the C. C. C. Camp.

The drainage camps may undertake any maintenance for repairs on any legal public or county drain. Repairg may be made to an open ditch, an underdrain oor any apurtenances such as headwalls and the like. All types of clearing and excavation are permissible. Farm bridges or even private tile outlets may be repaired or rebuilt where the present condition jg considered a detriment to the public ditch system. In all sueh work, however, where materials such as cement, aggregate and tile are rquired, the materials must bhe provided by the applicants for the work. ’ :

It is considered within the province of the camps to repair an open county ditch or conduit, thereby making it an underdrain. In such cases, the county surveyor establishes the size and kind of conduit and the grade at which it should be placed, and thel andownerg furnish the material.

Only restrictions upon the kind of work which the camp forces may perltorm are that the work be drainage maintenance, connected with a court ditch. New constructlon cainot be undertaken. _ The camp is provided with stake body and pick-up trucks, a crawler tractor equipped with a “bulidozer” which is particularly useful in the leveling of-spoil banks; plows, board scrapers, slip scoops, rotary scrapers and other equipment for drainage maintenance. .

Landowners who have ditches nced ing attention should talk the matter over with the county agent as quickly ag possible because the spring and summer program of the drainage camp is now being formulated.

“Bargain” Seed May Be Costly Farmers contemplating the purchase of seed stocks are warned by Dr. H. R. Kraybill of Purdne Univeristy, state seed commissioner to beware of so-called ‘“bargain’” seed which ig being offered for sale by sample from outside of the sfate. “Farmers ordering seed by mail or purchasing it from outside of the state do not have the protection of the Indiana State Seed Law, which requires that all seed sold :n Indiana except that sold and delivered on the premises of the grower he taggd with official Indiana Seed Tags,” explained Dr. Kraybill. ‘“Recently state inspectors secured a sample of so-called Grimm alialfa that a farmer haq purchased from one of these so-called ‘“bargain’ seed firmg located outside of Indiana,” he said. “An analysis of the sample showed a purity of only 81.7 per cent a germination of 73 per cent and 4.5 per cent of hard seeds. The seed contained 36 curied dock and 27 dodder seed per pound over 16 per cent of green bristle grass, and only about 59 pe: cent of pure seed that would germinate. It cost the farmer $10.23 per bustel including freight. Based on the germination alone the seed was ' mnot worth more than two-thirds as much ag good alfalfa. On his basis™ the farmer was paying at least at the rate of over $l5 for the equivalent of a bushel of alfalfa. He conld navc bought good seed from his local deal er for around $l6 per bushel and would not have infested his field with 1 dangerous weeds. Beware of cheap seed advertised by these out of state go-called ‘bargain’ seed houses.” The Indiana Seed Law protects farmers by requiring seed to be tagged with official tags stating the information that is necessary to determine the quality of the sead.

Following complaints Chief of Police Lucag of Warsaw has ordered all persons owning hogs inside the city limits must dispose of them or move them to some point ooutside’ the city.
