Nitrogen Application Affects Crop Yields Lafayette, Ind. — Nitrogen can* step up yields of small grains, corn, and meadow crops if it is applied so that is is available during the period of most rapid growth, says Dr. S. A. Barber of the department of agronomy at Purdue University. For small grains the best time to apply is before growth begins in the spring. For com, heavy rates of nitrogen — 50 pounds or more — may. be applied any time between plowing for corn and last cultivation. Lower rates are more profitably applied closer to the time of the last cultivation. The most efficient methods of application which have been developed are broadcasting on the surface, broadcasting on the surface and plowing under, banding in the furrow bottom or banding with a deep applicator, applying four inches deep midway between the corn rows at last cultivation, and spraying on the foilage. Broadcasting on the surface and spraying on foilage may be effective application methods for small grains. Any of the methods except spraying on the foilage and broadcasting on the surface may be used for corn, Dr. Barber says. Some materials are better than others so r a particular application practice. Where the fertilizer is to be applied several months in advance of the time the crop will use it, an ammonia form of nitrogen is advised. This is not, necessary on heavy soils but is essential on sandy ones. In ammonia form, nitrogen does not leach away but it may. in the nitrate form. The ammonia and nitrate forms are equally effective as a source of nitrogen for the plant. Where nitrogen is to be applied shortly before planting time, the use of an inorganic form is preferred. Organic forms become available more slowly since the first must break into the ammonia form before they are of use to the plant. Fit Feeding Program To Flock Needs Lafayette,! nd., — Poultrymen can’t change the egg-feed ratio, but adjustments in winter feeding of the laying flock may widen the profit margin, says R. L. Hogue, extension poultryman a t Purdue University. ■ Various feeding methods or programs are available to the poultryman today and include the all-mash system, cafeteria system and restricted grain feeds. Each of these methods has good and bad points. For the Hoosier poultryman, the restricted grain feeding normally holds the greatest potential return. If the poultryman is using a 20 percent protein ration, then approximately 100 : pounds of grain is required for feeding 100 pounds of mash feed. If the birds have free choice, oftentimes they will have an excess intake of grain which will lower the protein level, and usually lower egg production follow. Normally it is best to have the mash before the birds at all times, and then hand-feed twice a day the additional grain needed. The grain may be made up of corn, oats, and wheat. To secure the 20 percent ration, farmers can purchase many good commercial rations, or follow Purdue rations that are listed in “Care and Management of Layers,’’ bulletin No. 275. The amount of feeding space is also important. Thirty to forty feet of feeder space per 100 hens will help return greater income per hen housed. A poultryman can still obtain dividends if he will take a little time and watch his birds, and spend some time in the pen with the birds. Approximately 600' professional flower growers, wholesalers and retailers will meet at Purdue this week to discuss ways and means of improving the yields, quality and salability of floristss’ products.

JOURNAL, Syracuse, Ind.

New Sweet Corn Free Os Brown Silk Lafayette, Ind. — Purdue University research has solved the sweet corn problem of brown silk that has been costly to processors. Its solution has been the development of a new sweet corn hybrid with white interior silk, which other high-yielding varieties do not have. Seed for title ger eral public will be available in 1953. This hybrid, known as Golden Harvest, yielded on the average of 10 to 15 per cent more than Golden Cross bantam, a famous sweet corn developed 20 years ago at Purdue by Glenn M. Smith of th«» botany and plant pathology department. Now he has improved upoi it by developing Golden Hurves:, which will likely become a favorite with commercial canners, frozen food processors, and hememakers because of its white silk. Indiana canners and seedmen have tested the new hybrid during the past two summers and find the processed corn has a uniform golden color. It has a slightly deeper kernel than Golder Cross, Smith says, that makes for a, higher cutting percentage. Last year Golden Harvest yielded an average of 3.89 tains to the acre as compared with 3.33 for the older hybrid. Parentage of the sweet corn newcomer was also the result of Purdue research. The pollen parent is Purdue 518, which has been in commercial use since 1946. The seed parents is Purdue 3fi-B, a "sister” line to Purdue 39 which is used for about lU> pei cent of all canning sweet corn produced in this country. More than 50 pounds of the new hybrid were produced by hand tn <1951. This winter the seed is being multiplied in Florida. Seed producers have orderel enough to plant 20'0 acres. About 500,000 pounds should be available for 1953 planting. Mattresses Available In Tliree Types Lafayette, Ind. — When the homemaker goes shopping for a mattress, she will find there are three kinds on the market —the innerspring, solid upholstered, and foam rubber. Innbrspring mattresses contain vzell-tempered coiled springs and are ccvered with upholstered top and bottom surfaces’. In good mattresses, an insulated layer of material separates the spring unit from lhe pad. This is necessary so that the sleeper will not feel the ceils. Since it is not possible for the customer to examine the spring construction of a mattress, it is important to buy from a well informed, reliable dealer who is interested in serving his customers in tbe best manner. Miss Gertrude Monhaut, extension home management specialist at Purdue University, reminds homemakers that there are three methods of spring construction used in the innerspring mattresses. Each coil may be encased in a cloth pocket and these sewed I together to form the spring unit. Several, coils may be fastened together with helical springs or meal ties. In a third type of coni struct ion, the coils are held together through the center with strong flexible ribbons of steel. _ The ticking should be firm and strong enough so that it does not stretch with use. Good mattresses are finished with strong reinforced borders around the Bdges, venti ators Tor free circulation of air. and handles firmly attached to make turning easier. At the present time, solid upholstered mattresses are generally found on roll-away beds. These mattresses require matchng box springs which are deeper than usual. Miss Monhaut cautions that regardless of the type of mattress, they will give more sleeping comfort f they are used on matching springs. DEWART LAKE Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bailey are expected home frbm Texas in March. The Bailey’s have been visiting with relatives, and altho they will enjoy home, they would like to bring their Texas 80 degree weather along. Mi 1 , and Mrs. Donald Nyce have a new baby girl as of last Thursday, and both are doing nicely. Hans Browiak got himself a fishing licence Monday, and is all set Io ‘ruin’ Leonard Vane’s record catch of perch and bluegills. Leonard claims he got his limit in bluegills each day last week. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Griswold, Jerry and Gloria, visited the week end in Bloomington, with their parents of both sides of the family. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Vanes and Barbara Gale have returned from Hammond.

MEAT FOR 1952 Increased meat production is imperative if consumers are to be provided with their normal requirements. But the extent of the increase will depend almost entirely on whether livestock growers can see any incentive to produce and market under condL tions imposed by government regulations. That is the conclusion of the chairman of the board of the American Meat Institute, an organization which represents meat ( packing concerns throughout the nation. It was made in a summary of last year’s experience in the meat industry and the prospects for the future. In 1951, consumer disposable I income ran about >9’ per cent above 1950. Demand for meat was very strong, and the purchasing power was there to sustain it. Yet the average American actually ate three pounds less meat in the year that just ended than in either 1950 or 1949. Production of lamb and mutton went down 117 p er cent, to hit a 33-year low. While prospects for a moderate increase in beef production were favorable as 1951 began, threats of price rollbacks and imposition of controls so disrupted marketings that the supply dropped 8 per cent. The sole increase in meat supplies was in pork. The outlook sos the current year is good. Supplies can be expected to increase about three or four pounds per person. However, there is one big “if” in this forecast. That increase can take place if, and only if, OPS regulations and policies no not curtail marketings and disrupt distribution too severely. In other words, we have a meat industry which is eager t.o provide us with more meat and is fully capable of accomplishing it. But the most efficient industry on earth cannot do its best when unsound and arbitrary controls hold it back. PAPAKEECHIE LAKE The Turkey Creek Conservation Club will have a Benefit Card party at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 6, for their Club members and the general public. Choice of card games is optional and there I will be prizes for each type game. . There will also be two door ■ prizes, one for a man, and one for ! a woman. Refreshments of home made pies, hot dogs, coffee and pop will be served at a nominal charge. Card party arrangements are in charge of Mrs. Deloss Smith, Mrs. Edwin Green, Mrs. John Runge, Mrs. Herman Doll, Mrs. George and Miss Kay Michaels. Kent Hare is having a siege of ! illness, being confined home with ear and gland infection. Dick Denzel is taking a short course at the College of Commerce, South Bend. Mrs. Joseph M. Line Jr., (the former Jackie Nebro) is staying for awhile at the Everett Crow home. Mrs. Line has a new baby, Yvonne Cile, weighing seven pounds and eleven ounces. Mrs. Line’s other daughter is named Michelle. The little family will go to Mrs. Line’s grandmother’s home later, M rs. Ida Gawthrop, in North Webster. “Papa” Line wangled a short leave from Camp Breckenridge, Ky., for last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so Yvonne Cile was only a day old when her dad saw her. Merle Line Sr., was home at the week end from Anderson, where is is quite busy as a painter, and cannot :get home every week end.

TIMELY TOPICS By Mrs. Ruth R. Snellenberger Home Demonstration Agent 4-H Club work is the timely topic this week because National 4-H Club Week is being observed throughout the nation, March 1-8. Usually special emphasis is placed on enrollment. Because most of the 4-H Home Economics clubs are already organized and have been having meetings, emphasis in this county might well be placed on new members. Any boy or girl who is 10 years old (or who will be 10 years old any time during the year) or older, but who will not have reached his or her 21st birthday this year is eligible to enroll. There are five major projects in the home economics field: Baking, Clothing, Food Preparation, Food Preservation, and Home Improvement — in .which members may enroll. Work requirement in each' are arranged by divisions with the first division being the simplest to perform and the fifth division or above being more difficult- A girl is encouraged to enroll in the division in which she will learn something—-in other words, not repeat doing techniques or practices which she already knows how to do. First year members in every club each year are important because they keep the club growing from year to year. It is well too to have some older members who can help the yotnger members with filling out record books, preparing demonstrations, and so forth. Have some of you wondered who sets up the work requirements for projects? Or who decides how the State 4-H Dress Revue is to be carried on? In the State Extension Workers (made up of agricultural agents, assistant agents and home demonstration agents) there is a 4-H policy committee. Members of this committee are representatives of each of the Extension Districts (I believe there are 11 in the state) and of the State 4-H Club office. Suggestions for improving 4-H projects or activities are made to the committee by extension agents. The committee discusses them in light of the all-over state program, decide on a state policy which is presented for approval at the Annual Extension Workers Conference in December of each year. Some ladies who attended the Clothing School will recall that we decided a recommendation should be made that 5 inches ini stead of 4 inches should be allowed for hems. This is one I place suggestions have a beginI ning. Last year after the Statfe 4-H i Dress Revue I received a ques- ! tionnaire and so did Elener Norj ris of Franklin Township, from the State 4-H Club Office asking our opinions as to the manner of selecting the state winner and asking for suggestions for making the selection. Elener, you may recall, was Kosciusko county’s representative in the State Dress Revue. This is another example of how suggestions are made. One-day conferences have been scheduled for Indiana dairymen to be held at Purdue University in March. The dairy fieldmen will meet on March 25 and dairy plant operators on March 26. Specialists in the dairy industry and at the University will, present current problems. V. C. Manhart of the Purdue dairy department will be in charge.

Mrs. Lydia Deardorff returned Saturday from Kalamazoo, Mich., where she spent six weeks in the homes of her daughter, Mrs. Har-
