State Farm Bureau Holds Convention The 33rd Annual Convention of the Indiana Farm Bureau assembled on Nov. 7-8 in the Murat Theatre. Indianapolis, with adverse road conditions curtailing the attendance considerably on the first day’s sessions. President of the Farm Bureau. Hassil E. Schenck, presented his annual message with emphasis on freedom for the farmer. To be a perpetual recipient of government funds is a form of enslavement, he asserted. Dr. Raymond Miller (substituting for Dr. H. G. Bennett) consultant to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations discussed the subject, "Self Help Through International Cooperatoin.” Dr. Miller’s extensive travels through many nations in the interest of this World organization has convinced him that the problems of the world are rural. The hungry people of the world use primitive tools to I-roduce their inadequate food supply.

He paid tribute to the work of one county Agent, Holmes, who is working in India with 65 million people in his area. The beginning of the answer to the problems of the hungry people of the world is found in the work of county agents such as Mr. Holmes who are a part o the “point 4 program.” National A. F. B. F. president, Allan B. Kline, discussed the subject, “Our Productive Free Enterprise System.” He reiterated his belief that inflation can be controlled by reducing domestic and defense appropriaitons. We want to avoid World War 111 and we also want to keep our freedom. It is a prerogative of free men to speak out, said Mr. Kline. The past fifty years of progress in farming will be lost if government insists on “strait-jacketing” production in agriculture. The second day of the convention Dr. T. K. Cowden, agricultural economist of Michigan State College discussed, “Economic Trends and their effect on Agriculture.” He observed that farm programs designed for a de-

pression period ought to be reexamined for the benefit of all concerned. He stressed the Importance of maintaining national security and freedom. He also presented some facts worth pondering. Among them were these:—lf all government employees would be discharged. only one-seventh of the budget would be canceled. Big government is big by necessity. In the 175 years this government has been established there has been an average of a war every 7% years. A grave responsibility rests upon a nation which is as small in numbers as ours, but which produces one-third of the world’s products. Another speaker, M. J. Briggs, discussed the subject, “More Horsepower for Agriculture.” Mr. Briggs is general manager of the State Cooperative Assoc., and is well-known to Farm Bureau audiences. He stressed the importance of working toward a more adequate solution of our purchasing and marketing problems. The farmer is the largest single buyer and marketer in the nation’s economy. Mrs. Charles N. DeShazo was a scheduled speaker for the first day but did not arrive in time due to bad flying conditions. Mrs. Hassil E. Schenck substituted for her in an able manner with an inspiring address. Larry Brandon’s address brot the convention to a close. He stressed the need for defeating dangerous ideas with right ideas. The battle for gaining possession of mens’ minds is strong. Farmers are in a position to provide right leadership. Special music was provided by Frank O’Brien and Miss Patty Berry, both Purdue students; a male quartette from DeKalb county; and an instrumental trio from Carroll county. William Holmes of the State Educational department lead in group singing. The Rural Youth group met in the World War Memorial Building for its 14th annual conven-; tion. The Business meeting was in charge of Duane Zeiger, South Bend who is State president. The election of officers resulted as follows: Robert White of Rush county, president; Duane Zeiger, So. Bend, Ist vice-president; Carl Seest, Clinton county, 2nd vicepresident; Ann Gibbs, Marion county, secretary; Edith Corbin, Bartholomew county, treasurer. Delegates met at 8 p.m., ‘ on Nov. 10. Hassil E. Schenck was re-elected to the office of State President for another 2-year period. Twenty-three resolutions were passed by the 200 voting delegates representing all counties. Resolutions pertained to stiffer penaltiesf or vendors of narcotics and for drunken drivers. Another protested the permission to allow retailers to pass the gross income tax on to consumers; a protest against Universal Military training; and the group went on record as opposed to a proposed Constitutional Amendment to limit Federal Income Taxes to 2'5 per cent of all incomes, and requested the Indiana Legislature to rescind action taken earlier in support of this.

r pRIPS to the 30th National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago were * given four Hoosier State club members for their outstanding records in the 1951 National 4-H Canning, Field Crops. Garden and Tractor Maintenance programs. The state winners and brief outlines of their records follow:

{'or making an outstanding record in her food preservation project Marjorie Ann Schnepf, 18, of Bringhurst, was named State champion in the 4-H Canning Achievement program. ExEerimenting with new ideas, she as broadened her knowledge of better homemaking methods through her 4-H art. Home canning also has made it easy to follow the nutrition yardstick and keep the budget low. During nine years in club work, she has consistently worked for quality rather than quantity. Marjorie received 15 awards on canning, including two grand championships and several blue ribbons. Running a close second in the blue ribbon race are Marjorie’s records in her other 4-H projects. To achieve a well-rounded set of skills she has completed such projects as clothing, dairy, sheep, poultry and swine. She is now enrolled at Purdue University. Kerr Glass furnished funds for Marjorie’s trip to Chicago. John Zeiner, 17, of Fillmore, has been judged Indiana champion in the 4-H Tractor Maintenance program. A club membei for seven years, John has spent three years learning about farn machinery. When John enteret 4-H he declared war on bills. A staunch supporter of the “do it yourself” school, John was determined to improve his cost .cutting skills. Gardening, poultry, bees and dairy were his firs, campaigns. Victorious in these he went on to tractor maintenance where he has earned an impressive list of savings vbat would have gone toward t-cpair bills. John's trip was provided by the Standard Oil Co.

'T'OP RANKING records in the 1! ■“• Electric, Girls’ Record and Le state honors to four Indiana club i Electrically - minded Walter South, 11, 16, of Bloomington, has made the effective use of electricity pay off. State winner in the 4-H Farm and Home Electric program, this young electrician has found easier and better ways of putting electric power to work. This has rewarded him with more leisure time and taken the drudgery out of farm chores. Waltex* is a “gadgeteer,” a militant “gadgeteer” at that. He is not content w’th building such things as radios, automatic switches, incubators, automobile signal lights, window fans, and chick brooders, but he also finds it necessary to explain the benefits of electricity to others. With Purdue University’s sponsorship Walter toured Indiana giving 38 public lectures on his “gadgets” and was awarded first prize in the State Electric Demonstrations project. In recognition, Westinghouse Educational Foundation presented Walter with the Chicago 4-H Club Congress trip award. Better methods of doing everyday homemaking skills proved to be a challenge to Ann Abbott of Indianapolis. Her selection as state winner in the 4-H Girls’ Record program proves that this versatile young miss is a firstrate housekeeper and manager. Ann has been in club work eight years and has completed 47 projects, among which are clothing, food preparation, electricity and garden. Perseverance, ability and a fine public speaking voice placed Ann in a position greatly envied by her fellow club members. Ann was asked to give a demonstration to a group of the faculty at Butler University. It was no surprise to Ann’s friends and neighbors when they learned of her acceptance to Purdue Uni-

R. Byron Hiner

I f Jay Bates

Utilizing improved field crop methods has earned state honors for R. Byron Hiner, 19, of Lewisville, in the 4-H Field Crops program. Several years of experimentation with hybridization of corn, coupled with related activities as gardening, soy bean raising, and farm maintenance have given Byron the experience and skills so necessary to a field crop farmer. Desirous of helping others with his experience Byron has given many radio talks and debates for local audiences. Byron, a Short Course student at Purdue, is now raising 22 acres of corn and nine acres of soy beans. Byron’s increase per acre of food production has more than compensated for nine years in 4-H Club work. International Harvester provided Byron’s Chicago trip award. Growing a garden has served a three-fold purpose for Jay Bates, 18, of Bourbon, state winner in the 4-H Garden program. Jay has supplied the family with a variety of fresh vegetables from his half-acre garden, and reduced the cash outlay for food. His trip award was presented by Allis-Chalmers. A freshman at Purdue University, Jay was voted the most outstanding agricultural student in the 1951 graduating class of Bourbon High. He also holds a S4OO scholarship from the State 4-H 'air Boys’ Club Camp, and was top achievement winner in Marshall County at the State Fair this year. He has served as state vice-president of the Junior Vegetable Growers’ Association. In his nine years of 4-H work, Jay completed 41 projects in various aspects of farm work.

1951 National 4-H Farm and Home eadership programs have brought members. versity at the age of 16. Montgomery Ward provided Ann’s trip award to the National 4-H Club Congress. Outstanding leadership abilities and an excellent job in 4-H Club and community work won state honors for Dick Becker, 19, of Woodburn, and Ruth Ann Nine, 18, of Leesburg in the 4-H Leadership program. Dick Becker served his club in nearly every office and as Junior Leader during eight years in club work. He has been president of the County Club. Interest in and attendance at the Allen County Junior Leader Organization meetings increased during the time Dick served as its president. He has won many awards in dairy, poultry, forestry and other projects. Dick reigned as king at the Allen County 4-H Fair. Graduating from Woodburn High School last June, he received the G. C. Henderson trophy as the outstanding senior. He is now attending Purdue University. Ruth Ann has been a 4-H’er for eight years and during that time has missed only one local club meeting. She has been junior leader the past five years and with the exception of 1947, has held an office during every year of her club career. Ruth Ann has been very successful with younger members encouraging and assisting them with their records and projects. She should do well in her chosen career of teaching. Ruth Ann is now enrolled at Purdue University majoring in home economics and plans a teaching career. A 17-jewel watch award was presented to each of these young people by Edward Foss Wilson, president of Wilson and Co., Chicago.

scroll to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the Hoosier dairy industry. Dr. Shaw’s talk will open the afternoon session. It will be followed by a panel discussion on “How We Use Roughage On Our Dairy Farms,” with M. O. Pence, extension agronomist, as moderator. Panel members will include T. M. Ice, Mt. Summit; D. Kingen, Muncie; B. Gerke, Decatur; 'EI Scheutz, Evansville; E. Beaty, Huntington; and I. D. Mayer, the Purdue agricultural engineer. The discussion will cover such topics as fertilization, mixtures, management, and results in the use of roughage on their farms. The annual payroll of industries using Indiana ttmtjfr is estimated at more than 45 million dollars. These operations include 840 sawmills—from small, farmer owned sawmills to large band mills—and 217 enterprises producing everything from clothespins to television cabinets, Purdue foresters report.

Winter Protection Brings Summer Honey Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 19.—Here is a recipe for beekeepers that will assure them prospects of a good honey crop next year. Prof. B. E. Montgomery, of the department of entomology at Purdue University, says to take a healthy colony of young bees, be certain that there are good queens, leave enough honey, and provide winter protection for carrying the bees over the season. Now that bees have stopped working, beekeepers will be preparing them for the winter. In most parts of Indiana it is not necessary to pack the bees for winter, says Prof.

They should, however, have as much protection as possible from the direct effect of winter winds. Selection of well sheltered ! spots, protected by clumps of i evergreen, buildings or hills is j important. A temporary windbreak can be prepared with cornstalks interwoven in a wire i framework. Hives will need to be checked for winter footing and should be raised above the ground to prevent decay. Bricks or short lengths of two by tours, may be used as foundation for the hives which should be tilted slightly forward for drainage, i Hives should face east or south. I i Another precaution is to keep out . the mice by placing hardware cloth, three or four mesh to the

inch over the opening which can only allow the bees to enter. For winter bee food use a minimum of 40 to 50 pounds of good light honey per colon with 70 pounds in reserve in case of poor spring weather. Try the Journal Want Ads for immediate results.
