Clifford Townsend sought to lure the elusive bass at Lake Wawasee Monday, he may have been pondering a decision which will influence his entire future political career. It was the vital question as to whether the statehouge. steam roller, which conrols democratic state conventions these days. will flatten [Senator Frederick Van Nuys. Only a few weks ago there was no doubt that the thousands of politicans dependent upon the governor for their livelihood _by one .means or. another, would set about wrecking the chances of the senior senator to be renominated. But today the status of Senator Van Nuys is considerably higher. He was one of a few democratic senatorg who at first opposed President Roosevelt’s supreme court proposals. He “stuck his neck out” early in the fray. His fate appeared to be hopeless until the ultimate triumph last week of the senators fighting the court plan. He mow i on the winning side. The fact that Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D.) of Montana head af the court plan’ opposition, has insisted that there shall be no federal administration' reprisals against his comradies ip the fight may help Senator VanNuys. At any rate, it probably will prevent Postmaster General James A. Farley from invading this state and issuinlg state. ments that hn. understood Van Nuys would face opposition, as he did sevaral month s ago. It also may forestall use of federal patronage against the senior senator.

THE LIGONIEER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA

A gradual improvement in the outlook for poultrymen is reported by ‘Wm. Kohlmeyer, extension poultry bhusbandman of Purdue university om the basis of a summer outlook regort issued by the U. 8. bureau of agricultural economics. ' Mr Kohlmeyer sayg vhat the feedegg price ratio has improved slightly since early June, that further improvement is inr prospect between now and November, but that the unfavorable situation will not be fully corrected until next winter when prices of feed are expected to he less and prices of eggs to be higher than the corresponding period of 1937. He suggests in deciding as to the mumber of young chickens to keep for the 1938 laying flocks. farmers should consider two important factors jn.the outlook; One {s the likelihood that egg and feed prices together will maintain a rather unfavorable sitnation during the remainder of 1937; the other, the likelihood that when these pullets come into their heaviest production in early 1938, egg prices and the feed situation will be more favorable to producerg than in 1937,
