FIVE-YEAR STUDY

Ice Sheetg Prove Most Disas. trous to Grain, Says Purdue Expert.

. Vast differenceg in the amount of damage to wintor wheat in fair weather and when the ground fis covered with snow were reported to the rgional soft what confrnce at-La~ fayette.

Resujts of a five-year study of winter wheat conditions were cffered by W. W. Worzella, assistant in plant breeding of the Purdue University agricultural experiment station. The protection offered by a blanket of snow was found invaluable, Worzella geported.

Therometers that recorded continuous soil temperatures were placed one inch below the soil surface for the tests.

Late in January and early in February of thig year the soil tempera~ tures never fell below 20 degrees above zero although the air tempera~ tures reached 20 degrees blow zero, Worzlla reported. After that period some of the plants were removed to a greenhouve and they suffered néigerious injury. Shortly afterward, however, there was a heavy rainfall which melted the snow and formed an ijce sheet over many fields.

During a following period when air temperatures fell to only seven degrees below zero the soifl temperature dropped to one degree ahove zro and greenhousc tests showed most of .the winter wheat kiiling came during that time.

A study of moistureg showed plants were in most danger when the .soil wa swet, Worzella reported. . He quoted a survey of more than 800 wheat fields over the state this gspring which revedled that winter killed varied from 10 percent in the south to as high as 80 per cent in the north. $ The survey wag made after it was found that annual abandonment of winter wheat due to killhrg varies from 1 to 60 per cent with one out of 10 acres being lost.

RURAL RESETTLEMENT ACTIVE Farm Debt Adjustment Applicationg Will Be Recelved By Earl L ~ Robbins In Kendallville Activities of the Rural Resettlement Administration in Farm debt adjustment are playing an important role in this county. Earl L. Robbins, supervisor for the Resettlement Administration, declared. . Enabling a farmer to keep his farm by adjusting hig debts in line with

his ability to pay is one of the best forms of rehabilitation according to Mr. Robbins. Most rehahilitation cases involve debt adjustment as a pre-requisite to the granting of a rehabilitation loan.

Since the work of Farm Debt Adjustment began in thig county a large number of families haye been saved from foreclosure and enabled to gnlnuln their places as taxpayers in the community. Adjustments of debts have been ibronght about by the simple process }ot getting farmer and creditors to,xether to work out an equitable plan 'bued on the ability of the farmer 1o pay, said Mr. Robbins. ~ This gervice ig given without expense either to dehtor or creditor, teach case is handled on its merits with no attempt made tc assist the farmer in escaping honest debts. In recent months many farmers have found themseleves hard pressed to meet obligations to closed banks obligations that necessarily must be closed because of the bank’s failure or transfers in receivership. -

Crop failures, the !cw priced period of 1931-32 and 33 &nd the purckase of land at peak prizes, have all play ed their part toward increaging distres samong farmers of Noble and other Indiana counties

Any Noble county farmers who finds himself threatened with foreclosure and loss of land or personal property may present hig casze any time to Earl L Robbins, Rural Rehabilitation 'snpervlsor, 518 Diamond gtreet, Kendallville, Ind, either ir person or by letter. : A letter addressed to the Farm Debt Adjustment Section, Rural Rehabilitation Division, 212 Federal Building Lafayette, Indiana will algo receive prompt atfention.
