EXTENSION SCHOOL

PUXDvE

' IP

In Putnam County's second Extension School a program dealing with the economics of storing grain will be held on Tues- 1 day, January 29. at 1:00 p. m | in the Greencastle Court House Assembly Room according to K W. Harris. County Agricultural Agent. Mr. Harris has arranged to have J. A. Shute. specialist from the Agricultural Economics Department. Purdue University, lead the discussion. Some farmers sell their grain dirert from the combine at harvest time others hold their grain for higher prices later in the marketing season. There is no set rule of thumb to help farmers in making this decision. Each farmer must size up the situation as it applies to his business. Seasonal grain price variation, why grain prices vary from one time of the year to the other and what it costs farmers to store grain are some factors which will be discussed at this meeting. The possibility of buying grain futures instead of storing will also be taken into

account.

This should be a profitable session for farmers who sell soybeans, corn or wheat.

IISIIVAI,

More and more Hoosier cattle raisers are turning to corn silage and grass silage for winter roughages in their feeding programs. When porperly fortified with proteins. vitamins and minerals, both types of silage can produce daily gains of two pounds or more, report Purdue University animal husbandry-

men.

To explain their plan for wintering cattle on silage and Purclue Cattle .Supplement A. extension animal huabandrymen will “take to the road'' during January and February with the Livestock and Meat Caravan. Their exhibit, one of 12 from the University in the Caravan, will illustrate results of silage experiments conducted last winter. Henry Mayo is shown here with the exhibit. The traveling toad show will make a one day stop in Putnam County on Tuesday. February fith. to provide the central

feature of an extension school on livestock production, disease control, meat marketing. and meat cookery. The school will be held at the Greencastle High School Girls’ gym under sponsorship of various county extension groups and County Agent K W. Harris. Specialists in Agronomy, veterinary science, poultry, livestock marketing, nutrition, and rural health will also accompany the Caravan to discuss their respective phases of the general subject. Other exhibits will cover such topics ;/ hog pastures. 40-pound pigs in eight weeks, early calves have heavier weights. 80-pound lambs in four months, three-pound broliers in ten weeks, cattle grub control, hog mange now easily controlled, meat prices from steer to steak, cooking meats according to cuts and grades, known your cuts of meat, and rabies is fatal.

portant turn. I think that 4-H club work can be finer influence in the life of a boy or girl than anything else, except possibly attending church and being a loyal member of one’s family. 4-H club work does so much for you because f\ encourages you to learn by doing something useful. If you will study the 4-H MClivitles and projects, yon will find that almost everything you do will help you he a more useful member of your family and will help you later in life to make an honest living and be a good citizen. Your projects are especially valuable because you carry them out in your own home Your 4-H leader and county club agent

The most successful club members are those whose parents also arc interested in I he projects. 4-H work will he a great help to you also because you join i with other boys and girls in club meetings and activities where volt must woik together. When you grow up you will have many duties as a citizens that require you to speak your mind in a meeting, to serve on committees. and to be a leader or a follower, depending upon which is needed most.

Veteran Held In Bomb Plot

DENVER. Colo.. Jan 23 iUPi A brilliant 27-year-old veteran was held by Federal authorities today in connection with an "unbelievable” bomb plot on the life of an Ohio man. Donald Robert Rankin of Richmond.. Ind.. was arraigned yesterday on charges of sending explosives through the mails. He denied the charges although postal inspectors said he sent a package containing 15 sticks of dynamite to 27-year-old Douglas James McCray of Bowling Green, Ohio. The dynamite was rigged to explode when the lid of the package was lifted. Once before an attempt was made on McCray's life when he was shot in the left shoulder by a man who appeared at his door on Dec. 8. 1951. Ohio police never were able to identify the assailant. R. B. Dunbar, post office inspector in charge of the Denver division, said McCray received a letter Jan. 7. 1952, from Cheyenne. Wyo. The letter was in an official government envelope and was signed "Doyle M. Hawthorne." an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Dunbar said the writer of the letter wrote that he had a lead on the man who shot McCray and said he was sending a package containing photographs of the suspect. The package arrived and McCray took it along with the letter to the county attorney's office. The dynamite was found inside. Dunbar said the bomb was traced to Rankin in Denver on the basis of an "almost unbelievable motive ' Rankin was identified through a check of auto and drivers’ license records. The inspector refused to disclose the motive for the alleged attempt on McCray's life. He said only that it was "one of the most unbelievable stories I have heard."
