ALSO: 3 GOOD SHORTS.
Particular attention of Putnam county farmers has been called by County Agent Guy T. Harris to the shortage of good clover and alfalfa seed In the market. Mr. Harris asks the farmers to read carefully the Purdue bulletin which discusses that situation, which decries the haphazard method of some planters, even these days, in the purchase of seed.
Farmers are urged by Mr. Harris to inspect the information presented on the Indiana state seed tag. which is attached to every sack of seed, presenting the purity and origin, germination and weed seed content. Th« following suggestions are made by the Purdue specialist: 1. Buy the seed supply early while there are yet several lots of seed to select from. There is a shortage of good clover and alfalfa seed due to the drouth of last summer. 2. If you buy mail order seed from outside the state be certain regarding the reliability of the firm
across the state border you automatically lose all protection afforded by Indiana laws. 3. Don’t buy your seed at public auction unless it is properly labeled in accordance with the requirements of the Indiana seed law and examine the tags carefully. 4. Purchase seed from reliable seed dealers and check the purity, origin, germination and weed content by reading the seed tag. 5. Beware of traveling seed salesmen unless you are certain they are reliable. 6 If you are purchasing red clover or alfalfa seed beware of red stained seeds. Red means danger and in- | dicates the seed came from a foreign country and it may be unadapted to local soil, and of unknown origin.

CHINt II BI GS GETTING READY
Indications are that Putnam coun- j ty farmers will have even more trouble than usual with chinch bugs, in 1937, unless woather conditions become so unfavorable for them that their numbers wit) be reduced. So far, they have had favorable weather. Of all the major insect pests of grain, the chinch bug is one of the ' most susceptible to the vagaries of the weather. The abnormal cold last winter killed many hibernating bugs; spring and early summer rains drowned many that survived the cold, and th" prolonged summer drought dried up large numbers of the bugs. Fall weather, however, was so favorable that the pest made a successful lateseason comeback in many places. Reports indicate presence of hibermting bugs In moderately to extremely large numbers from western states. Chinch bug outbreaks of the 1!>31 magnitude with losses to the corn crop alone estimated at $27 600 000000, have been (averted the last two years by the weather a cold, wet spring in 1935 „tnd an unfavorable winter in 1936.

CHAPTER VI /GENTLEMEN—We hare called nJ this special meeting of the Board of Regents of Green Ridge College to discuss a very important matter regarding athletics," William Hay, president of the board of direclorg, began pompously. "Coach Moreland has given us a winning team this year—so far."
“As far as the Rose Bowl Is concerned, here's the setup,” tho coach continued softly. "If we take Erie— and we’re going to try—we’re one of four teams eligible. One of ’em will high hat it, a couple have rules against it. . “Then that makes us the logical choice?” asked Hay. “It’s not that easy. Unfortunately, we’re not a big, well-known college. The public likes color in the game. But—we can get the Rose Bowl, gentlemen, if we sell the country on the idea it wants to see us there . . , . 1 suggest that we get our publicity department busy at once.”
Shortly after the directors’ meeting had concluded Paddy was walking across the campus, reading a letter he had Just received. "Dear Mr. O'Riley”: (it read) Here's the photograph you asked for. Knowing August as 1 do, I can hardly believe he was too bashful to write for it himself. At any rate, they tell
Dutch inquired of one of the players who was limping slightly. “Housemaid’s knee?" "No. I just tackled O'Riley, the invisible man. By the way, Paddy, how's about giving out with the blue print of that sidewinder of yours?” “That’s like asking a fan dancer to wave goodbye,” chuckled Dutch as his friend said nothing but began to whistle blithely. "You take that from O’Riley and you take all.” He sat down and picked up a newspaper. “Yeah," persisted Donovan, "but I’ve got It all figured out how I could use that run against the Erie line.” "So have I,” murmured Paddy. "Who did this?” Dutch interrupted the chatter hoarsely. His thick hand shook as he held out the paper he had been reading. The sports page featured a story headlined as "WILL SHE SAY YES?” and subtitled: "If Green Ridge Receives Rose Bowl Nomination Dutch Schultz Will Win Star’s Favor, ’tis Said.” Underneath was Florence's autographed picture, one of Dutch, and a half-column story. "Wow! What a piperola!” shouted Donovan, grabbing the paper. “And she knew him when . . . and bow!" "Listen, Irish," Dutch broke In angrily. "I know you did this. I'm not clowning. If this puts me in the dog house with Florencs. . . ” “. . . It’ll be because she’s got no romance in her soul, huh, August dear?” mimicked his roommate.
Little did Dutch Schultz know that his old high school romance with Florence Taylor would be the means by which Green Ridge would be catapulted into national recognition as a Rose Bowl possibility.
"We’ve been lucky," Soapy spoke up deprecatingly, although he had smiled at the "so far." "Might not happen again for ten years in a
small college like this."
“Now, 1 think it all boils down to this." May continued, looking at the sober fares which lined the directors table. "If our team defeats Erie we're in line for au invitation to the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena. Sierra will probably represent the West. Are you for It. gentlemen?" "I'm against it.” growled Henry Wallace, a lean a.id hungry Individual at the far md of the table. “It gives Green Rid e the wrong kind of advertising. It places empliasis on the wrong thing Green Midge Is an institution of learning —not a training s hool for athletes.” “But a winning football team

me an actress can't neglect her fan mail, so here it is. Sincerely, Florence Taylor.”
Grinning all over his face, Paddy glanced from the letter to the picture which accompanied it. The latter was incribed: “To August dear from Florence—Who remembers when and how!!” As he started to replace the photograph in its envelope he almost bumped into the studeut publicity director. Boh Hope. “There’s one of them football mugs, now,” Hope groaned. “What’s the matter with football mugs?” Paddy was up in arms at once. “Oh, nothing! Nothing at all!” Hope was sarcastic, “i vc just got to publicize you tmtsede men into the Rose Bowl. Soapy’s dumped it right into my lap.”
There was rejoicing out at the Occidental studios in Hollywood when the story about Florence Taylor broke. “Just what the front office ordered." chortled Burke, the head of the publicity department. “Here’s our angle to put Taylor over." "This Green Ridge- publicity k'd doesn't know what he’s got," agreed an assistant. “We’ll tell him. Come on, crack out with some ideas.” “Say,” cried Burke’s secrotarv. “I saw Florence at the Grove Sutnr day night with Ossie Merrill, the Sierra fullback. . “They're a cinch to represent the West." Burke was jubilant. "A Rose Bowl triangle! What could be cuter? Gertie—take a wiie! 'Publicity Director, Green Ridge I ni versity. Follow our campaign. We'll put you in Rose Bowl. Keep Schultz in line. Advise any new angles. Hop it up.’ ’’ "But what will Taylor say?" the assistant inquired dubiously. "She'll he sore at first but when I explain she'll eat it up. Schiiuz wants to make the Rose Bowl, doesn’t he, and she wants to be in lights. It’s natural.” I "Say. you don’t think she realiy ' likes that dumb looking Schultz knf, j do you'.'’’ inquired Gertie. ! "Heck! There’s nothing wrong with him that a good haircut won't
