Substantial Incr2ace In Employment, - Pay Tolls and Man ; Hours

A substantial increase in employment payrolls and man hours worked during March was reportel by Marion F. Carpenter staie employment service director for 2,027 Indiana manufacturing and non-manu-facturing firms employing 168,532 persons.

Reports from the various companiés showed increases fo:- the month of 3.3 per cent in employmanz, 9.5 per cent in payrolls and 8.5 per cent for total man hours worked, Carpenter said. : ’

The marked increases were a continuation of the steady upward trend which has been evident during the last 20 months. During that period employment decreased only five times and payrolls three from one month to the next, the monthly report revealed. The sharp increases in employment and payrolls during March boosted the indices for manufacturing to the highest levels attained during the last seven years, Carpenter gaid. Reports from 758 manufactur-

ing establishments employing 132,045 factory workers showed employment and payrolls expanded 3.6 per cent and 11.3 per cent respectively durine the mopnth. '

$67,000 IN BACK TAXES FAID

Dbt Adjustments Result in Saving Many, Hoosiers From Foreclosure

Approximately $67,000 in back taxes have been paid by 1,417 Indiana farmers as a result of debt adjustments, it was announced by E. H. Shideler state rehabilitation director for the resettlement administration, U. S. department of agriculture, since September 1, 1935. t Previous to adjustment of their ‘debts, these farmers were unable to pay all of their taxes because of depressing debt burdepg incurred during leap years, or because of crop failures. Shideler said they were not only in danger of losing their-farms in some cases because of unpald taxes, but were unable to contribute their share toward local governmenut expenses.

“In addition, many of these farmers had reached a point where they could not operate their farms to the best advantage,” he said. ‘ “Now, as a result of the assistancs from county advisory committees and the RA, they are able to pay at least a part of their taxes, and avert foreclosures. With debt burdens eased they can go ahead with their farming on a more efficient basis.” Friendly adjustments between fartn ers and creditors have been made largely through financing at lower in= terest rates, extensions of time Zor payments, reductjons in some cases to more equitable levels and arrange‘ments for budgeted payments. : i Total indebtedness of Indiana cases already adjusted amounted to $4,586.;456, according to Shideler. ‘This ‘amount was reduced to $3,799,266, in dicating the tremendous amouat of work the voluntary county advisory committees did in co-operation with the RA in bringing about satisfactory adjustments through. confidential negotiations and helpful suggestions to debtors and creditors,” he said. | Service of these committees, made ‘up of public spirited citizens are avail!able to debt-ridden farmers in practiically every county of the state. Applications can he made direct to local gcommittee members or through the ‘local rural rehabhilitation supervisors

MAY BE DEMOTED

r Court Mukes Decision jn s-mo!;o'u S‘g:hunau

. School boards have the right to demote or promote tenure teachers, who:'are not protected in gy one position under the tenure law, as a result of a decision by the state supreme court, . : This ruling was returned in the case, of Gene E. Youngblood and the school board of Peru.

Younsb?od. served for 11 years as superintefident of schools at Peru until Feb. 23, 1934 when the board transferred him to principal of one of the schools and named a sueccessor. Youngblood obtained a temporary injunction from the Cass circuit court halting this action. In August 1934 the board terminated Youngblood’s contract on the charge of insubordigation. He obtained from the Cass circuit court a ;mandamus to the board to reinstate him and pay him $3,892 back salary. The board appealed this decision and the supreme court reversed the Cass circuit court.

Reguire SpCeinl Forms.

Noble County ‘farmers planning to participate in the 1937 Agricultural Conservation Program should call upon the ‘County Agricultaral Congervation Committee at thei- carliest convenience, requesting speclal forms to be used in establishing proof of performance upon those practices the evidence of which is wot yisible at the time of checkikng performance and also to be used as ovidence if adapted red clover and al’x'fa seed were sowen this spring, Ovval MciLallin committee chairman, announc: ed.

In order that the county committee may have the proper evidence and in formation, when checking performance next fall which will iuvolve the classification of land and 1937 =oilbuilding practices for payment, the use of dggumentary evilence 13 necessary, MecLallin stated. It is needed especially with regard to the practices, the evidence of which is not visible such as application of phosphate, lime, and faileq new seed ings.

If the use of red clover or aifa’fa seed is involved in a soil-building payment under the 1937 program, it will be necessary to establish documentary evidence of the adptability and origin of the seed, even though a good stand of such a crop is in evidence at the time performance is determined, according to McLallin. The form requires such information as: variety of seed, from whom purchased, date of purchase, origin of seed, and statement of person or firm whom the seed was purchased as to its origin. Further information regarding the two forms as well as to other phases of the 1937 Agricultural Conservation Program may be obtained from members of the ounty Agricultural Con servation Committee. The forms may also be obtained at the office located in County Agents Office Albion, Court House.

Succulent Pasture for Lambs

Succulent pasture as wheat, rye, oats and rape plus milk from their mothers and thep sell thgm off their mo hers as fat labs in early July is the system on raising and selling native fat Lamb for Noble county thiinks Henry Mayo, Animal Husbandry Department Purdue who was in Noble County for a tour last ¥riday. ' People don’t realize that :nmb pasture has to be suceulent sald Mayo. Lambs fall off after reg] hot weather c:mes and pastures start drying up in July and August. The most profitable system I think saye Mayo 8 mothers as fat lambg in early July to have rather early lambs, have their mothers in good flesh for plenty of milk, then leave them with their mothers on good accule:t pasture. J

‘Of course, they will start eating at a week old and can be profi‘al'!y fed some whole grain in a creep too, then kept on some grain with pasture, stated Mr. 'Mavo. 7The only caution where lambs are soid off their motherg in July is to strip out the mothers for a time after they are sold to stay away from udder trouble said Mayo.

Control Measures Being Planned

Steps to locate and eradicate the Japanese beetle before it becomes a mboire setious menance in Indiana, will be taken again this year by the Department of Conseryation in cooperation with the U. 8. Department of Agriculture. Presence of this insect pest in Indiana was discovered four years ago during a survey of Indianapolis.

The program outlined by Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Cadnservation, provides for the treatment of Indianapolis and Fort Wayne areas in which beetles were found inp 1936 and the use of special beetle traps in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Richmond, South Bend, Hammond and Gary. Through the trapping operations data is provided for future control measures. Treatment of the soil in areas where beetles are found consists of the application of arsepate of lead which is washed into the ground and kills the beetle grubs. This treatment has been found effective in Indianapolis aras where it has been used for two years. Approxi‘mately ten tons of arsemate of lead will be used in the treatment of Indianapolis and Fort Wayne areas ‘where beetles were trapped in 1836. Twenty-eight beetley were found in Indianapolis and five in Fort Wayne.
