Corn, Soybean Demonstration Friday . Sullivan County farmers are urged to keep in mind the soybean and corn variety test plot demonstration on the Branson farm,, Friday morning, October 7th at 9 o'clock. The Branson farm is located in Curry Township, three miles north of Shelburn and two miles west. Five different Indiana certified corn hybrids, five experimentals, and two local varieties, have been planted in replicated plots. These1 will be shucked out, weighed, and yields computed on

an acre basis. The soybean varieties include FCingwa, Lincoln, Wabash, Potoka, Gibson, Hawkeye, and Chief. All interested farmers are invited to attend. .

Anderson said the Senate's fin

al 38-37 vote for high price supports yesterday would cost . the country $2,000,000,000 annually. Many Af lend Wheat Banquet Forty-two farmers, elevator operators, and . friends attended the Sullivan County wheat banquet held Tuesday night, Oct. 4, atsthe Davis Hotel. This banquet was sponsored by the county elevator operators in recognition of the 10-Acre wheat contestants of the county and the county winner, who was also area winner. ' ' ' Gene .

May Resign In Money Crisis PARIS, Oct. '5 (UP) Premier Henry Queuille today abandoned attempts to arbitrate a wage-price crisis and apparently prepared to hand in, Els resignation to President Vincent Auriol. The crisis stemmed from devaluation of the British pound sterling, which forced France and many other countries throughout the world to revalue their currencies. It was reported a special session of the National Assembly would be called because a new government cannot be approved until the Assembly is in session. Informed quarters said it was possible the 65 year old Queuille who has headed the French government' for more than a year, would hand in only an oral resignation of his cabinet. This would permit him to explain his position to the National Assembly before his government is put out of office, Queuille'? 13 month old government has been in power longer than any

other in post-war France. Queuille announced after an hour-long cabinet meetings thai he had failed to arbitrate unior demands for, more wages and would report to Auriol on the "consequences."

Worth was "a special civilian assistant to Undersecretary of the Navy Dan A. Kimball. The mixup came as the committee wound up the B-36 procurement phase of its investigation of service wrangling and invited the Navy's top admirals to air their grievances about unification at a new hearing tomorrow. , The committee gave a clean bill of health to Air Secretary W. Stuart Symington, B-36 manufacturer Floyd Odium and other persons who came under Worth's fire in his "anonymous" document. ' ...

The dead were Mrs. Alpha Hebert of Port Neches, Tex., who grabbed a dangling "live" wire in trying to break a fall, and Jimmie Simpson, age 21, Palacios, Tex., who apparently drowned while trying to swim from a stalled cabin cruiser in Matagorda Bay. The 112 -mile -an -hour blow wrecked power transmission lines and communications wires. Widespread damage was reported in the 75,000 acres of lowlying ricef ields from the heavy rains accompanying the storm which roared off the Gulf of Mexico early yesterday. Texas prison system farms, which raise cotton, corn and hegari, suffered an $800,000 loss. Damage was most severe in Freeport, the first coastal city hit by the whirling storm. Authorities said it would cost $150,000 to repair homes, utility poles and signs buffeted by the high winds.

other a single by Reese.
