Keep The Hunting Season Safe . Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 19. — Good hunting and safe hunting can be one and the same thing for hunters, says C. M. Kirkpatrick of the University wildlife laboratory. He says that to forget just one of the many “don’ts” concerning gun may be fatal. Any hunter who forgets that a gun is a death dealing instrument is dangerous to be around. The only rule is: “Don’t point a gun at any living thing you don’t want to kill.” Almost as important to hunters as firearms safety is the subject of good public relations with the owner or tenants of land where game may be found. Here are some suggestions that may smooth the way when the hunter asks for permission tn hunt. Do get acquainted with the landowner in advance. Honest intentions should be displayed and the farmer should be told that it is the plant to hunt. It will be courteous to offer to do something for the farmer in return for the privilege of hunting. Pitching in and helping buck a Cord of wood or just showing genuine interest in the stocjc, crops, and family is appreciated. Above all don’t jeopardize the safety of the family. Another thing, bringing in a crowd of friends or hunting without the farmer’s knowledge does not make for good hunting relationships. After the season is over, the continuing of friendly relationships with the farmer will be wise.

Indiana Farmers Buy Million Tons Os Fertilizer Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 19. —Apparently Hoosier farmers are more fertilizer conscious now tha never before. In 1950, they purchased almost a million tons of commercial fertilizer. This is the largest tonnage ever reported in the state and is more than 3 times the amount sold in any year prior to World War 11. A total of 961,653 tons with a retail value of was purchased last year, according to information compiled by F. W Quackenbush, state chemist, A. S. Carter, chief inspector, and other agricultural chemists at Purdue University. Their report is contained in Agricultural Experiment Station Circular 370, entitled “Inspection of Commercial Fertilizer.” In 91 cases out of 10'0, the Indiana farmer received fertilizer equal to or greater than the monetary value of the grade guaranteed. In eight cases in each 100, although slightly deficient, the value was within 10 per cent of the guaranteed value. Besides buying more tons of fertilizer, Hoosier farmers are using fertilizer of high analysis. The average ton of fertilizer contained 28 pounds more plant food in 1950 than in 1949. The average of all official samples was 3.5 per cent nitrogen, 13.5 per cent phosphoric acid, and 10.1 per cent potash.

Farmers Tax School At Warsaw Nov. 29 New tax regulations of the 1951 Revenue Act, as they apply to farmers, will be discussed at the Farm Record and Income Tax School to be held in the Women’s Building on the Fairgrounds ip Warsaw at 1:30 P. M., Nov. 29. Arranged by County Agent Paul Jackson, the school will be conducted by Noah Hadley, of the agricultural economics department at Purdue University. Purpose of the school is to help farmers keep the kind of records that will save them money and avoid difficulties with their income tax reports. The economist will consider the Collector of Internal Revenue’s new interpretation of the regulation covering the sale of dairy, breeding and work animals. He.wlil explain situations under which the sale of such animals will come under the ruling and result in substantial tax savings. Among other topics of discussion will be how depreciation is figured, what can be depreciated, and how a continuous year-to-year depreciation record can be set up for tax reporting purposes. A new 10-year Farm Depreciation Book recently published by the Purdue agricultural economics department will be introduced and explained. This book is designed to assist a farmer in figuring depreciation on buildings and other farm improvements, machinery, equipment, and purchased breeding animals. It is expected to be valuable for figuring profits or losses resulting from sales of depreciable items, and it will be an : important aid in calculating capital gains or losses when a farm i changes hands. Copies of the new book wlil be available to farmers attending the school. Lake Wawasee Estate Changes Hands The estate of Forrest R. Bratton located on the South Shore of Lake W’awasee, was sold last week to Nathan C. Insley of Syracuse, Ind. This is a very interesting sale due to the fact that the property* dates back to the purchase by| John T. Vawter in 1883, who passed it on to Charles A. Sud-; low in 1896. Soon thereafter,} Mr. Sudlow built a home thereon and this home still stands, furnished with antiques dating back to an earlier than that time. It was acquired in 1995 by Benjamin Blumberg of Terre Haute,, Ind., who improved the property} and developed a great deal of the, estate as it now stands. In 1948 | it was acquired by Mr. Forrest R. | Bratton, who did a great deal of i remodeling so that the property i now contains a 12-acre tract of orchards and truck gardens, plus, nursery stock, in addition to. three unusually attractive homes. I Mr. Insley plans to further de-> velop the property and will live in the new home located on thei east side of the lake frontage, I which has 2T9 feet on the lake.

C. of C. Urges Scrap Drive For Manufacturers, Farmers

The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce, is cooperating with the steel companies, and the government, in undertaking a drive locally to increase the flow of scrap iron and steel to the scrap yards. The C. of C. is urging all local farmers and manufacturers to send in all scrap at once. One of the most important raw materials in steelmaking . . . one frequently underrated by the casual observer ... is iron and steel scrap. With over 90% of all steel in the U. S. being made by the open hearth process, the scrap used by steel producers totals approximately 50,000,000 tons each year. The open hearth method of steel production is geared to a pig iron scrap consumption ratio of roughly 50-50. This is to the final advantage of the steel user, since a large scrap diet in steelmaking results in a number of benefits: (a) steel is made faster (since scrap has already been “refined” once before, the “melt” time in the open hearth is decreased); (b) vital raw materials are conserved (it takes almost 4 tons of iron ore, coal and limestone to make a ton of pig iron); (c) unless scrap prices are abnormally high, the price of steel is cheaper; (d) steel is of higher quality (since scrap has already underogne one refining process);

Prizes Will Be Given For Best Decorated Homes

The Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Club will sponsor a Christmas holiday home decorating contest, for this community. Homes in town or at any of the lakes or rural areas of the township may be entered in the contest. Judging will be done on Sunday, December 23 by impartial judges from out-of-town Rotary Clubs. The contest is limited to outdoors decorating of homes and yards in keeping with the Christmas season and the awards will be basipd on the most artistic

Dessert and coffee was served at the close of the meeting. Donates Heater To Syracuse Scout Cabin Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Kline have donated an electric heater for use in the boys half of the Scout Cabni, in memory of their grandson, James Connelly.

' (e) transportation facilities, inI stead of being used for the addiI tional raw materials otherwise required, can be released for other uses; (f) steel mill capacities | can be expanded more readily ; with less emphasis on the blast furnace and more on open hearth and rolling mills. About two-thirds of the scrap consumed in making steel comes ; from the steel mills themselves. Crop ends and sheared edges ' move quickly back to the open hearth shop. The remaining third ’ —flowing to the mills largely through the 6.500 scrap dealers in the U. S., comes from the wastage in metal working plants ! (“production” scrap), auto ' graveyards, old building, bridge and ship wrecking projects, railroads (worn rails, freight cars, etc ), neighborhood peddlers. The scrap dealers must sort the scrap so that the undesirables are eliminated, the alloys segregated and the right kinds of scrap can be delivered in large tonnages to the mills for most efficient steelmaking practice. Today, with steel production , at record peaks and with capacity continually expanding, it is more i important than ever to keep I scrap flowing back to the steel mills from every source. Everyone waiting for steel can help himself by assisting the move- , ment of his scrap through his regular channels.

and best lighted arrangements. The following prizes will be awarded: First prize, sls.o<©. Second prize, SIO.OO. In addition, five honorable mention prizes of one dollar each will be awarded. The community here is noted for the number of attraetvie homes decorated during the Christmas holiday season, and this contest is being sponsored to increase the number and draw attention to those homes decorated here.
