For the fiscal year of 1927, the company’s 'export shipments showed a gain of 37.5 per cent over shipments for the fiscal year of 1926. In “this connection it is pointed out that the - average increase in export shipments from the United States for the entire 'automobile industry last year was 17. per cent.' Based on the record-breaking export sales of January and February, Nash officials say there is every reason to believe that 1928 will be another banner year in overseas shipments.

FARM BUREAU NEWS Growing Season Shortened 30 Days by Fertilizers I : . Some very interesting experiments I'aye proven that the corn crop can be matured much earlier than usual with thfe use of a properly balanced Recent experiments of the Ohio Experiment Station resulted in shortening the season from 20 to 30 days on corn with the use of proper kind of fertilizers. Indiana Farm Bureau leaders are taking much interest in the results of these experiments, as the corn-growing seasons of the past few years have been unfavorable for proper maturing of the crops. The seasons have been shortened by unfavorable weather conditions at certain periods of the growing corn crops l . If a properly balanced fertilizer can hasten the growth and maturity of the corn crop as well as add several additional bushels per acre, it will prove a great boon to the farming industry. The Purchaeing Department of the Indiana Farm Bureau has arranged to supply Indiana far- : mers with properly balanced fertilizers that the corn crop may have every advantage of maturing before the frost period in the fall, if unfavorable weather conditions should prevail. * President Settle makes Statement on Corn Borer At the corn borer meeting, recently, at Auburn, Indiana, called by Indiana Farm Bureau leaders, President Settle made the following statement: “It is not for me to say, nor is It the duty of the Farm Bureau to determine whether or not .the corn borer is a menace and to what extent we are in immediate danger. That, we shall leave to the judgment of our Extension Department, The Department of Conservation, and the United States Department of Agriculture, who have their scientists, entomologists, and trained specialists in that particular/libe of work. “I do say that if our farmers are forced to carry out a program of work intended. to protect other farmers who are not in the quarantined territory, they should be paid for the extra work they will be required -to dd, as it will interfere with, their regular work on the farm and the financial loss will be great. 1 am de--termined, as far as I am concerned, that our farmers shall have a square deal in whatever course is determined upon regarding corn borer control apd cleah-up work.” v About 660 farmers from the infested area in northeastern Indiana attended the meeting. They passed two resolutions: one Opposing support of the proposed appropriation of ten million dollars to fight, the pest, and the other requesting that 95 per cent of any funds appropriated be designated payable to the farmers who do the-cleanup work.
