~ CROP SCHOOL BIG SUCCESS Soll Tested' Seed Corn Scoring and Other Events Held At Instructive - Mett . The Noble County Legume and Crops school held Friday at Albion attracted a large crowd of farmers. There were also in attendance 756 or more high school youngsters studying agriculture. Several samples of soil were tested ang fertility and liming recommendations given. “Scoring a 10-ear exhibit of seed corn” was the subect from 10 to 11 a. m. “Sweet Clover,” 11 to 12. M. O. Pence showed where sweet cipver was by far the greatest legume we have to turn under with one year growth. He does not recommenqrit for hay and recommends an alfalfa mixture as probably a better pasture crop than a straight seeding of sweet clover. Discussion on sweet clover was lead by Walter Crothers Albion. A delicious lunch was served by the Albion Home Economics classes.

Soybeans were the topic of discusgion grom 1:30 to 2:30 p. m. Mr. Pence showed how taking a soybean plant off the ground took a much larger percentage of the ‘whole plant off than in the case with alfalfa and clovers because with these so much larger percentage of your plant is below ground. Inoculation with good commercial inoculation was showp to he distinctly advantageous with soyheans as with all other legumes. T. J. Mawhorter lead the discussion on soybeans. ; A'falfa was under discussior from 2:30 to 3:30 p. m. Results of variety tests were stown. Grim varia«:-ed and common varieties are best for Noble county. Alfalfa mixtures for this spring seeding were¢ recommended as the alfalfa crop is more plentiful than the clover crop this year. Alsike was also recommended for this season.

Federal Funds Aid Highway Work.

Federal funds allocated to Indiana in direct grants or on a matching basis, played an importan{ part in the state highway construction program during the past fiscal year, James D. Adams, chairman of the State Highway Commission revealed. - During that period, whep the com-~ mission had a total of 309 separate construction contracts in operation, 210 or more than two-thirds of the contracts were financed entirely or in part with federal funds. Only 92 of the contracts were financed entirely with state funds. This construction program included 132 contracts for the constryction of streets, highways and small drainage structures and 177 contracts for grade separations and bridges having spans of more than twenty feet. :

Federal funds made up 32.92 percent of the total receipts of the State Highway Commission for the past fiscal year, nearly a third of the entire fund available for construction, operation and maintenance of Indiana’s 9,000 mile state highway system. Receipts from gasoline tax made up 46.35 percent of the highway revenue, 16.47 came from license fees and the remainder from weight tax and miscellaneous.

The importance of increased federal funds in financing Indiana state nighway construction is shown by comparison of reveue percentages for the 1931 fiscal year when federal funds formed but 20 percent of the highway revenue and 75.56 percent came from gasoline tax and license fees, with four percent from miscellaneous sources. The decrease in the gasoline tax ‘and license fee receipts availlable for state highway operation came as result of an act of the general assembly in 1932 when & larger percentage of these funds was distributed to counties cities and towns.

Flood Corp

Farmers- interested in purchasing flood corn from - southern Indiana

flood counties are requested by Jonu F. Hull county agent, Evansville to tune in of GBF Radio station 12:05 noop and 6:30 p. m. for details states ‘M. A. Nye Noble county agricultural agent, Albion who has just received a communication from Mr. Hull. ‘, Mr. Hull further states that in: structions as to where corn is available and at what prices will vary so fast that letters will be too slow and farmers will have to get the latest insructions and - details, daily, by “listening in” as above. ‘ | ! In practically all Ohio river counties there is a large amount of corn that -has been submerged. Especially is this true in Spencer, Vanderburg, and Posey counties. There is a varying degree of mud covering this corn. If allowed to remain in the cribs until the weather turns ‘warm, it will soon spoil beyond any useful purpose. If, however, it can be taken out and washed as soon as the crib can be reached, it will have full feeding value. “The need for handling this corn as promptly as possible is very urgent as a few warm days will injure it materially. These fArmers have lost much that is beyond calculation. They hope to salvage something from this submerged corn. Therefore we rge you to emphasize to your feeders the opportunity of giving some assistance in this matter that they may bring to these farmers some small measure of relief and at the same time supply themselves with corn for immediate feeding at its present worth” states T. A. Coleman State Leader County Agents, Lafayette in a letter -to all county agents. : e Wall Paper—-Knights’ Drug Store.

School Attendance Is Cut by Tliness. School attendance of children throughout Noble county during the last month has been disappointing to both teachers and other school heads as a result of illness prevalent among both pupils and parents, according Lo Barbra Skeels, attendance officer. A general prevalence of severe colds, flu and whooping cough have made many class-rooms wholly incomplete, and many pupils have been absent from the school room for two and three weeks at a time, she reveals.

Attendance at two classrooms of the Cromwell school during the period between Jan. 4 and Jan. 28 was merely 79 per cent school records showed Many other schools throughout the county have been likewise affected school officers report. In many instances, pupils have been compelled to be absent due to illness, the latter who have been unable to care for their work about the home.

WAGE BILL TO BE CONSIDERED e Ny Fix Minhpum Pay For Flremen -ll=-h The Indiana senate will consider this week a bhouse-passed measurs calling for the establishment of a minimum monthly salary schedule for policemen and Sfirement. The bill would make possible sallary increases for policemen and firemen in most cities of the state. The monthly salary schedule would be on the following minimum basis: first class cities, $167; second class, $150; Jhird apd fowrth class, $135, and fifth class, $ll5. Authors .of the measure were Representatives Bess Robbins, democrat, of Indianapolis; Willlam . Black, democrat, of Anderson; George Wolf demoerat of Peru, and Fred C. Rowley, democrat of Munele. Mrs. Robbins declared the bill would give “a decent wage to men who risk their lives for our protection.”

Black sald “school teachers have 4 minimom wage and there sno reason why the firemen and policemen should not have a minimum wage scale.”

Among the mew bills Introduced in the senate was one amending the the gross income tax law to provide that individuals and business organizations pay one-fourth of one per cent on income. Individuals now pay one pr cent and farmers, manufactur ers and wholesalers, one-fourth of one per cent. Senator Will Brown, a republican, who presented the measure, said his bill would produce aplvroxlmmly $14,500,000 annually. i ‘Senator Willlam H. Jenner of Shoals, republican minority leader iln the senate, presented a resolution asking for the appointment of 12 members of the assembly to investigate the liquor law. He <ontended the law sets up “political control of a legal business and per~ mits sale of minors.” The senate defeated a protest of Jenner against the appointment of Max G. Townsend, son of the gover nor, to the state live stock licensing board. Jenmer urged the repeal of the neptism law, saying that as long as the law was on the statute books the governor was a law violator because he had appointed a relative to a statg position.

i- . . Comments, Politically and Otherwise, on Present-Day Topics By Pay E. Smith Appearing before a lunchaom of a state-wide Democratic women’s club lun Indianapolls recently, Governor M. Clifford Townsend announced that wo men wou'd receive greater recognition in his administration As evidence of this fact be added that Mrs. Emery Scholl, who has bean Dismocratic state vice-chalrman since May 1934, would scon be appolired to a position of responsibility at the state house. The Guvernor's declarajion brought pro- . nged applaas- fron those present. I iyoughout the state the women worScrs were part'>llarly pleased to hear that the Governor was going to give them more reward

Most of the old time pu'itical leaders have resented women's entrance into politics. This Is true In both parties. However, when a check-up reveals that women in Indiana are casting morg thap 50 per cent of the votes, it would be a short-sighted policy to slight them. On the other hand, it might be said that i 1 was “smart politics” to work with them —to hold these yotes. Governor Town send evidently feels this way, for Just a few days after he was elected he told newspaper men that RQgmocratic women would not be forgotten.

Women arg playing a very definite role in the Democratic party in Indiana today. They have numerable clubs which meet every two weeks or once a month as the case may be and keep alive their political tervor. These women's clubs are valuable sources for dissemination of political information, too. While there are some exceptions, the same cannot be sald of the men’s clubs. Most of them become inert between campaigns. - The women assist greatly at campaign time in looking after a thousand and one details which men baven't time to do, or wouldn't take the trouble to do. It takes the “woman touch” at a big meeting or banquet to have the speakers stand or table properly decorated, the pictures and Dbanners hung properly, ete. Around Democratic headquarters women look after a volume of matters that would be overlooked without them.

The Democratic party has been generous in giving women places on their tickets. In the 1932 and 1934 state elections Mise Emma May was placed on the ticket. The party has a congresswoman, Mrs. Virginia E. Jenckes from the Sixth district. In the national administration President Roosevelt has honored the women of the party by naming one as secretary of labor, Another, Mrs. Ruth Bryan Rohde was appointed minister to Denmark. One was named to the federal bench In Ohilo, and numerous federal positions at Washington have been filled by women. . county and city elections in Indiana the Democratic party has placed women on their tickets,

In campaigns an enthusiastic woman worker is as good as a dozen men workers, sald Louis M. Howe, late secretary to President Roosevelt. In an article appearing some months before his death, he championed the part women play in_politics. Howe, who was recognized as an astute polltician, belleved that the women’s votes had been Ignored too much by both parties and that the party which was first to go after and win the majority of the women was acting to its everlasting interest.
