Farm Bureau Defends Political Views Indianapolis, March <l7. — The official board of directors of the Indiana Farm Bureau, in regular monthly session when Agriculture Secretary Brannan’s latest attack broke in the press against *their national leader, Allan B. Kline, regarded the Secretary’s charges as an offense against Farm Bureau members everywhere. I; Presiding over the board meeting in the absence of President Hassil E. Schenck, Larry Brandon, vice-president, reasserted the organization’s policy of choosing jits course on the basis of issyes Tather than on political party alignment. Said Brandon: “Our members know Farm Bureau has been in agreement with the present administration on many programs and issues. To accuse Mr. Kline of bargaining with any candidate of either party Is absurd.” On the heels of the latest JBrannan attack against the American Farm Bureau leadership came a forthright statement from Kline to Farm Bureau presidents saying that never, as Secretary Brannan charged, had he discussed with Robert Taft his Availability for a cabinet post. “Should the position of Secretary of Agriculture be freely offered to me,’* ( said Mr. Kline, "under no circumstances could I accept.

erica is the present hope of responsible self-government in the world. As a citizen and as the responsible president of the largest farm organization in America, I hope that our. election in this year is not marked by this sort of falsification.” The charge by Secretary Brannon that the farm vote is to be traded for the cabinet post if Taft is elected was considered little short of ridiculous by the Indiana Farm Bureau directors. Byway of reply they merely reiterated that Farm Bureau policies, formed at the local level by the members themselves, are based on what is good for agriculture and the rest of the nation, and not what is goo<J for some political party. “Ours is a free farm organization,” Mr. Brandon summarized. Commercial Broiler Industry Is Expanding Lafayette, March 10. — Within the past ten years, commercial broiler production has skyrocketed from a relatively minor part Os the poultry business in Indiana to a seat of importance that is exceeded within the industry only by egg production. Although the value of the 38,000,000 broilers produced in Indiana during 1051 is one-half of the $7'5,833,000 value of all eggs produced, their value is about two and one-half times as great

as value of all baby chicks hatched in Indiana. This takes on added meaning, states Joe W. Sicer, extension poultryman at Purdue University, when it is realized that Indiana is consistently one of the leading states in the nation in the number of baby chicks hatched, ranking among the top three states in each of the past ten years. The value of commercial broilers exceeds the estimated value of all chickens other than broilers raised on Indiana farms. The number of broilers raised in 19,51 was 40 per cent greater than the number of chickens raised primarily for laying flock replacement purposes. The $38,000,0*00’ value of broilers produced is more than double the value of all laying hens on Indiana farms at any one time in 1951. Much of the increase in broiler production has been due to the development of improved strains of chickens, to the use of new, highly efficient broiler rations, and to the adaption of mass production techniques to the broiler raising business, states Sicer. These developments have made it possible to grow three-pound fryers with an abundance of white breast meat in just ten weeks’ time, with only nine pounds of feed and with the use of only one man’s time for as many as 20,000 or more broilers. Broiler growing in Indiana is concentrated largely in four areas centering around Elkhart, Washington, Dubois, and Benton counties, but it is spreading rapidly into other sections, particularly where farms are small.

PAPAKEECKE LAKE Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kies went to Lafayette Saturday to attend the Elkhart-Lafayette Jeff game. Mrs. Ray Smalley is still ill, but “up and down,” and getting better now. Mrs. Florence Glass and sister, Mrs. Ruth Scott, attended a Stanley party at the home of Mrs. Dick Workman. The Workman family moved to Hattersley’s farm recently. The Stanley demonstrator offered a prize for the correct guesser of the War-saw-Knox game, and Florence must have been f‘reading someone’s mail”, for she was right on the nail with her guess—Knox 67 and Warsaw <6*s'» so now she’s looking for her prize. Kent Hare looks “fat and saucy” and well over his recent siege of illness. Bill and Mary Hare have added a new 8 by 20 foot sun porch to their cottage, with lovely picture windows — which please their neighbors clear across Papakeechie, for they enjoy the added lights at the Hare establishment. The Bill Hare’s had St. Patrick’s day dinner at the Florence Glass home, Monday in the "avenin” (to make it Irish-like.) Mrs. Florence Glass and Mrs. Ruth Scott visited Mrs. Scott’s son, A. H.

TIMELY TOPICS By Mrs. Ruth R. Snellenberger Home Demonstration Agent Do you read the comics? Some are really fantastic, aren’t they? Some comics, however, have a hint of realism. For example, not long ago there was one showing the father and mother telling the daughter she was a “big girl”, she could wash the dishes; she was a “big girl”, she could get the supper; she was a "big girl”, she could clean up the house. But when the daughter asked about going to the movies alone, she was told she was just a “little girl.” This characteristic of the te en-agers — grown-up in some ways and yet very dependable in others — is one requiring understanding and consideration from adults. Those who have made studies of family life problems say this characteristic is important in giving responsibilities to teen-agers and then guiding their execution of those responsibilities. “Is aluminum ware dangerous for cooking?” is a question that I’ve been asked. The answer is “No”. The American Medical Association says, “We know of no evidence that the use of aluminum cooking utensils is harmful. We believe that the propaganda against them originates with quacks, cranks, and faddists, and with those who put out cooking ware made of other materials than aluminum.” Speaking of cooking ware, I wonder how many women continue using enamel ware after it is chipped. I hope none, because certainly there is a great possibility for food particles to become lodged which one cannot wash out. Decomposition occurs and other foods cooked in them are easily contaminated. A similar situation can occur with using chipped or cracked chinaware. For health’s sake, let’s get rid of them. Do you study the advertisements in your local paper? I saw recently a range in price of one brand of frozen fresh orange juice that really shocked me. Here’s the variation in price in Kosciusko county during one week end: 2 cans for i3sc; 2 cans for 39c; 6 cans for sl.oo', and eight cans for SI.OO. Are you surprised too? Have you started your garden yet? Mrs. William Camden who lives along the Pierceton-Winona road told me the other day that she enjoyed the Garden and Landscape School so much she went home and planted lettuce and radishes. I believe someone attending the school stated she already had peas planted. If you plan to freeze some vegetables from your garden, I’d like to urge you to select a variety recommended for freezing.

Anthrax Warning Issued To Hog Raisers Lafayette, Ind.—Four cases of anthrax in hogs have been diagnosed this week in the animal laboratory at Purdue University, according to Dr. L. M. Hutchings, head of the Purdue veterinary department. Several other suspicious cases are being studied. These hogs have come from scattered parts of Indiana, but so far are confined to areas near the Ohio line. Responsible officials in Ohio report that outbreaks have been found in 47 hog herds in 16 counties of that state. They have reported 94 death losses there during February and March. “While this situation does not justify undue alarm or hysteria on the part of hog raisers and consumers,” Hutchings says, **it deserves concern because the disease is deadly to humans as well as animals. Only four times in 35 years has it been found in Indiana. From evidence available, Purdue veterinarians believe there may be reason to suspect inadequately sterilized bone meal imported from foreign countries as a source of the trouble. Hutchings says there is no evidence to indicate that biological warfare might be involved. He suggests that farmers follow these rules: 1. Find out about symptoms of the disease and watch livestock for suspicious cases. 2. Call the local veterinarian promptly if such cases appear, and if there is no nearby veterinarian, call Dr. Roy Elrod, state veterinarian in Indianapolis. 3. Under no circumstances should the farmer cut open any suspected animals that die on his farm. 4. He should not haul sick or dead animals, but should bury them on the spot. 5. Hb should not sfell animals out of the herd if there have recently been sudden deaths. Anthrax is one of the oldest and most destructive diseases of animals, Hutchings explains. It strikes suddenly, leaves a high death toll, and its spores can live in the soil for many years. Most frequent symptom of the disease in hogs is swelling under the jaw. Cattle with anthraxmay bloat very rapidly. Blood of all animals that die of anthrax is dark in color and slow to clot. Not all animals die suddenly. In some forms of the disease they may linger for some time. All farm animals except poultry are susceptible to the disease. Precautions are being taken at the animal disease laboratory at Purdue. Post mortem laboratories will remain open for diagnostic purposes, but persons outside the department, will not be admitted. This is for protection of the farmers and their animals. Dr. F. W. Quackenbush, state chemist, has sent the following special notice to feed mixers who

supply Indiana farmers. “In view of the present suspicion that imported bone meal may be a carrier of anthrax disease, the State Chemist will permit feed mixers to substitute other phos-
