WET WINTER GARMENTS NEKB SPECIAL CAKE

Clothing soaked in unexpected snow should be given special at-

tention.

A wet woolen garment should be hung on well-shaped hangers away from heated radiators or in the sun. When the garment is dry it should be brushed thoroughly. If it is necessary to press the woolen garment, it should be placed on a well padded board, covered with a dry press cloth and sponged with warm water before ironing. A steam iron may be used with he press cloth. If the iron is too hot, it may scorch and break the fibers. The iron should be applied lightly, lifting it each time instead of sliding it. The garment should not be pressed until entirely dry. It should be hung on a hanger and allowed to dry shape. However, the garment should not be worn until It is thoroughly dry. FARM RECORDS REVEAL

PROFIT FACTORS

Net cash incomes of Indiana farm account cooperators averag'd $4,878 in 1950, a three percent drop from the year previous, itc•ording to F. V. Smith, agricultural economist at Purdue Uni-

versity.

Smith points out that average earnings of aecount cooperators should not be i iinsidered lepresentative of all farms in the state. Most farmers who keep accurate records of their farm businesses and who are interest ed in the analysis of their records also operate more effieiently than does the average farmer. Records of the cooperators are compared on the basis of the size if the farm, that is, large, medum and small size farms. Mcdum size farms v.ii v from 125 t > 175 acres. A comparison of the most irofitable and least profitable anus in Central Indiana showed

Helen I acre averaged $116 for the most I profitable farms and only $69 for

| the least profitable ones. There were no significant dif-

ferences in total acres and in tillable acres between the most profitable and least profitabh

groups of farms.

On most farms the efficiency with which livestock is handled is the most important single factor affecting farm earnings. The difference in the livestock receipts per dollar of feed fed b - tween the most and least profitable medium size farms was 31 cents, 49 cents, and 19 cents for the Northern, Central nnd Southern areas, respectively. With $7,478 worth of feed fed per farm on the least profitable farms in the central area, th'> difference of 49 cents would have amounted to $3,664 additional in-

come.

The records did show that the most profitable farms had a larger volume of business, measured in terms of number of productive man work units. Farm receipts per tillable acre were larger on the most profitable

farms.

Average crop yields were higher on the most profitable farms. The higher value of crops per tillable acre on the most profiteble farms reflects not only the higher yields but also the larg'd' percent of the tillable land in th • higher-value crops such as corn, soybeans and alfalfa.

RECOMMEND BEST OATS FOR HOOSIERI.ANO LAND Best oats varieties for 1952 planting in Indiana continue to h.the reliable Clinion 5ft and HenIon, according to results from Purdue tests and county demonstration plots in 1951. Winle corn belt experiment stations a t.l those In the Canadian provine, are making steady progress in improving oat varieties for their respective areas, thus far none of these varieties has proved equal or superior for the heavy on’, growing section of Indiana. According to K. E. Beeson, ex-

ily will like and eat, and for early maturity. The/se lOrtunute enough to nave unlimited area are not so enneerned about the planting dates and early maturity as art those with! limited space. The varieties that are banested in the shortest time will allow quiek replanting of the same row and oftentimes double yields are obtained from a limited areas. ItAINBRIDGE SCHOOL On Saturday January 12 Jaque Steward. Marjorie Fonner, Carolyn Gentry, Donna Blots, and Richard Harshbarger, Students in Speech Class, taught by Mrs. June Irwin went to Ball State Teachers College to participate in Dramatic Reading and Radio announcing. This class has furnished numerous numbers for Convocation programs as well as other Community functions. They were accompanied by Principal A. E. Harshbarger. Through the interest of the Community a new score board has been installed in the gym. Thunks go from the school to those who have helped on this. Two volumes of History of the Northwest Territory were donated to the school library by Miss Ella Pickett in memory of her brother Minor Pickett. Contributions of usable books will be be appreciated by the School from any who may desire to help improve the library. The new lavatory purchased for the girls restroom by the Community Service Club is much appreciated. Tickets for the Putnam County Tourney will be on sal" at the school office January 21. These will lie licKets available for each session although no season tickets will be sold. Champions recognized recent-

BASF NITROGEN NEEDS

ON EXPERIMENTAL TESTS Farmers who are planning their nitrogen fertilizer needs will want to look back at results

from nitrogen fen’Jization

pastures on the Miller-Purdue Experiment farm, say Purdue

University agronomists.

Use of nitrogen on permanent biuegrass pasture combines with the best pasture-management - deferred summer grazing paid off with a dividend of an increase of 155 pounds of beef as compared with production on rotation grazed pastures which did not

receive nitrogen.

Beef production averaged 221 pounds per acre on permanent biuegrass pasture limed and fertilized with phosphate-potash fertilizer at the rate of 300 pounds to the acre. However, the average production over a two year period, 1948-49, was 366 pounds of beef to the acre when ammonium nitrate was applied in addition at the rate of 180 pounds to the acre in 1948 and 360 pounds to the acre in 1949. This fertilizer supplies 60 and 120 pounds of nitrogen, re-

spectively.

The agronomists point out that Ih,- added nitrogen produces Approximately one extra pound of beef f<u each pound of nitrogen. The use of nitrogen alone will bring best results when combined with good management. The greatest increase in production with nitrogen on the biuegrass is realized when spring and faM grazing is practiced, allowing the pasture to rest during July and August. During the peak grazing period,, the pasture is heavily crazed using three to four steers per acre. Supplementary pastures are used in mid-summer. The extra grass produced in the spring and fail will be most efficiently utilized if grazed during those season's.
