POULTRY LAWS S TO BE ENFORCED

A check of all counties in the state reveals the fact that- few! Poultry Dealers are following the requirements of the Indiana Reg—i ulations Governing The Dealing in Poultry. | Briefly, the law requires that any person, firm, or corporation desiring to engage in the. business of purchasing poultry in this state must apply at the Clerk’s office of the Circuit Court of any county for a Poultry Dealer’s License. . | That any person, firm, or corporation licensed to deal in, poul-:' try shall keep a record in dupli-. cate, open to the public for inspection, showing number of fowls bought, variety purchased, and weight in pounds, post office address of geller, date of purchase with signature of person from whom the poultry was purchased. Also, any person, firm, or corporation who buys for re-sale any poultry ‘alive or dressed must ascertain as mearly as‘ ' possible whether such person is in lawful possession of such poultry and must take registration number of motor vehicle in which such poultry was delivered, also have him sign his name and address on the poultry record of sale. o ' The duplicate copies of all pur‘chases shall be filed with the sheriff of the county in which the purchase was madé at least once each ‘week. . = e i ]

A’ check of ‘the entire state is being made by the State Police with the assistance of the Sheriff of each county to see that the Poultry laws are being adhered to by all dealers, and hope in this way to greatly deecrease the theft of poultry in Indiana. :

Mayors’ Proclamation

~ With Europe at war, the American Red Cross is confronted with tremendously increased responsibilities, and this year it is redoubling its appeal to the Amnierican people for support in the battle against human suffering. : During the past year we have been drawn closer to the Bed Cross through its farflung disaster relief, its aid to the innocent non-combatants of war, as well as through its daily services designed to Sstamp out misery in the form of disease and the ever-present threat of accidental death. Those of us who have seen the Red Cross grow in recent years and realize the great de‘mands the European situation Dlaces on it, can ‘understand the need for a great membership increase. The natural bPhenomena of disaster and the dangers of a mechanized age continue to be the source of suffering and accidental death. We must recognize that the ability of this great organization to serve is directly proportionate to the membership support of the public. : - This year’s appeal of the Red Cross for your support will be made November 11-30. Our community has never failed to respond to the Red Cross call for assistance; and for this reason, I feel confident that we shall be proud to enroll our share of the million more members. gl

- As Mayor of Ligonier, I designate this period as the time all members will have an opportunity to renew their affiliation and to afford those who have mot enrolled an opportunity to help the Red Cross help others, ' ]

APPLICATION MADE FOR CITY ~ DISPOSAL PLANT PROJECT

Project Would Cost City Between $30,000 and 35,000; Approval By WPA Authorities May Take Two Months Or More 2

Formal application for construcuon of a sewage disposal plant for Ligonier is being made this week to WPA authorities in Wash-~ ington.

Plans for the proposed construction drafted by Phelps & Peck, engineers, were approved by WPA offices in South Bend, Indianapolis and Washington and the approved plans were returned this week for signatures of city officials. ¢

" At the Monday night meeting of the City Council, authority was given City Attorney Chester Vanderford and City Clerk Herbert Cockley to sign the formal application for modified plans submitted by the engineers. : If approval of the application by WPA authorities is received in the usual time required, it is thought that actual construction work on the project can be started around the first of the year. The plant construction would require seventy-one men for an entire year. The total cost of the project would be nearly $100,000.00, of which between $30,000.00 and $35,000.00 would be borne by the City of Ligonier. g

It was estimated by the City Attorney that the cost of the disposal plant to the water user would be fifty cents per month or less for the period of twenty years necessary to retire the bonds. Two-thirds of the cost’ would cover actual installation of the plant and one-third the cost of operating the plant.

1940 Parity Payment Provisions Announced

The terms and conditions under which 1940 parity payments will be made to producers of corn, tobacco, and wheat have been announced by Orval L. McLallin, Chairman of the Noble County Agricultural Conservation Committee. Payments, which are conditioned upon producers particpating in the 1940 Agricultural Conservation Program, ‘will be made from the $225,000,000 appropriated for this purpose by Congresa. The provisions are similar to those in effect for the 1939 parity payments, Mr. McLallin said, but have been strengthened by including these additional requirements: 1. That the producer plant within the total of the acreage allotments of corn, tobacco, and wheat established for his farm under the 1940 Farm Program; and 2. That the producer not offset performance on the farm by overplanting the three ' commodities on other farms in which he has an interest. Mr. McLallin stated that the rates of price adjustment payments will be announced later, after the 1939 season average prices are determined. The rate for any crop cannot exceed the amount by which the 1939 average prices are determined. The rate for any crop cannot exceed the amount by which the 1939 average farm price of the com-~ modity is less than 75 per cent of the parity price. No parity payment was made on tobacco in 1939 since the 1938 average farm price was above 75 per cent of parity. i g

The changes are intended tol bring about a more effective administration of the -:program than had been possible under previous regulations, Mr. McLallin sald. Under the 1939 gdjustment program a producer could qualify for a payment by adhering tg his allotment for one commaodity even though he overplanted the acreage . allotment of another commodity on the same farm or overplanted the same crop or other commodities on another farm. The new provisions make it possible for the county or State AAA Committee to withhold all or part | of the payment in such cases un"der the 1940 program.

. Producers of winter wheat may! apply for and receive 1940 parity payments before their 1940 performance is checked or corn or tobacco, upon agreeing to make refunds 'if subsequent checkups show that they have overplanted their allotments of any of the other crops named, Mr. McLallin explained. 0 |
