IN THE
GOOD OLD DAYS PUTNAM COUNTY TOWNSHIPS (continued)—"We have already disposed of nine townships which occupy the entire north of the county, extending south eighteen miles. Thc.v are still foui townships to be noticed occupying the entne south side of the county exten Iing north from the south line of the county nine miles. The general features of these townships are very much the sanu’, differing some however from th ■ other parts of the county, in Icing somewhat more hilly. Generally the hills are long pretty slopes, and in many places ijuit picturesque. II is finely timbered, and has large quantities of good building li nestone; and in some .''pots fine sand stone and stone coal. These four townships are not of the congressional si/..'. Jefferson and Warren i\re less by six square miles each, only having thirty sections, instead
of thirty-six.
Clovcrdale and Washington are each above the congressional size; Clovcrdale having forty j eight sections and Washington fifty four, which it will be necessary to remember when we com ' to speak of the population and products of each. Jefferson township is on the east side of the county and fmmediately south of Marion. Th" National road lies awing the north b<*idei of this township. It contains an excellent body ot good farming land and is well watered with springs and sinu.l branches; has very little bottom land, and scarcely any out whn! is) I'i'aitie. ’iTtirrc ric gre.it quantities of limestone here, and formerly there was much lime burned and hauled to Indianapolis and elsewhere on waggons This township has many fine farms and is still adding to Iv i improvements. Thete has beei considerable grassing none herein a fe a- years past Warren Township nes immediately west ot J- fferson and east of Washington This township is less man tne congressional size. only containing thirty sections. Deer Creek run 0 through it, affording much fuv bottom land. It has fine lim< stone- for building ana formerly much of it was liauri-u to Ind ianapolis and elsewnure for building purposes. Some of the best lands are to be found in this township. These lands rest on a bed of 1 mesco-ne and arc consequently well drained and well adapted for corn, wheat, oats, rye, etc. And they are uu doubtedly the very best grazing land in the county.- Cattle will be found to fatten Better on these rolling limestone lands than elsewhere. And It is astonishing that more or the cattlegraziers of this county have not found it their interest to establish themselves in Warren long before this.— This township affords some fine locations fo--fruit growing, and there are a few j>each orchards now on some of those high ridges which scarcely ever fail to bear fruit It may be remembered Wild profit that on a suitable spot m Ohio a single peach orchai' yielded ten thousand dollars to Its owner this year. It is not un Common for persons to sit for a life time over the richest mine and never discover the hidden wealth beneath them. Wnri'ii Township naturally is one of th< very )x-st in the county, and with the energies of its |ieople properly dir tie ted cannot fall to be one of the vevy wealthiest.

Insects Cause Crop Anxiety Three majoi insect pests are - an. mg anxiety among Hoosier fm nn ra ot field crops, .! J Davis, head of the Puidue Entomology depaitinent's experiment station, ri ports that the major pest on the list is the Euiopean com borer. Another is lhe gra.i :li"ppi r while the tliiid i the wheat joint worm. Davis .ml tin loin boivi ha? not been important for several v ar:. in Iiubaiia beeause wrath er coiditmus have prevented planting of tli" crop early. Mneh coin, however, wan planted before May 20 during tin spring of I i49, resulting in a build-up of the borer population. According to Davis, Hoosiet fields will not -see a serious number of borers this y-rat but a dost iiietive outbreak in 1950 is anIn ipated if corn is planted before May 20 next year. There was a significant increase in borer population be i iKso ol tavorable condition during the pa t spring but the low borer population passing the " liter of 1948-49 was such that only a lew localities will be h.l
hard.
Davis said grasshoppers passed tin winter in larger numbers than normal and conditions are favorable for successful hatching. A week of heavy rains, however, rejiucetl the number ot young ’hoppers but they are still pienent m destmclive numbers und farmers are mged to prepare unit i id. The wheat jinnt worm attacks tin' straws at the nodes, causir.g breaking over of Hie wheat There was a cimspiiuoua increase throughout the state ill 1948 of the pest. Davis said: "Sine" all insects in the hard ened stem are lull d when they pass through the thresher, a ret■ 'iinmended control has been'‘cut when* low.’ but this control is lot applicable where the combine is used. Where conditkma permit, plowing under infected stubble is recommended to protect the crop a year hence. Otherwise the only cmtrol is rotation sowing the now wheat a; far distant as possible from pr. - viously infected fields.”
7-HOUR DAY, NO PAY CUT; LEWIS DEMAND
.MINE UNION CHIEF ALSO WANTS HOURLY WAGE INCREASE, ETC. WASHINGTON, July 2-(LT> John L. Lewis has demanded that soft coal operators reduce bis miners' work day from eignt to seven hours without cutting their present takehome pay, industry spurces said today. This, they said, was the only specific money demand Lewis made during closed recent i egotiations between the United Mine Workers and soft coal producers at White Sulphur Springs
W. Va.
These sources said, however, that Lewis notified them he alaa wants a general hourly wage increase, bigger operator contributioiif, to t(^e Welfare and Retirement fund and establishment of the industry's first job seniority system. The operators said they countered by telling Lewis the industry cannot afford any contract improvement which will increase production costs of coal. So far, they themselves not made any specific contiart pro-
poaals.
The basic hourly wage for miners at present is $1,758 for an 8-hour day. Tins includes S’i hours production time, one hour Paid travel time undei ground, ami a 30-minute paid lunch period. Lewis' proposal .voulii cut the production time to 5’ 3 hours d.»ly. If there is no reduction in the pay now received for eight hours, the basic hourly wage would be $2 per hour— ju .1 double what it was in 1945. On the welfare fund contribution, Lewis is authorized to dei and a boost from the present 20 to 40 cents per ton
