When grasses and legumes are brought into your crop program, the benefits from rotation multiply. Instead o£ merely main-

taining your yield, grass actually boosts other crop production. Culling chickens pays in three

ways . . . you lower your feed bill, you get a higher price per pound on culled birds, and you get higher production from the rest of the flock.

ANIMAL DISEASES

An expanded research program in the field of animal disease will soon be possible at Purdue University because a small farm near Purdue campus has been made available to the department of veterinary science. With increased space for animals, more work can now be done on diseases of cattle and sheep. Dr. L. M. Hutchings, head of the veterinary science department, has announced that the program is in answer to continuous urgent requests from farmers. In spite of the need, it has been impossible to do more productive research without adequate numbers of experimental animals, he points out. Now the farm provides additional land needed to go forward faster with the animal disease program. Although full possession of the new farm was given the first of this month to the veterinary science department, Hutchings savs it will take some time to develop it for the specialized purposes for which it is to be used. In the future, it will be possible for the department to study particularly the metabojic diseases of cattle, including milk fever, acetonemia, and bloat. Also planned are studies of mastitis, sterility, and other important disease that are partially or completely unsolved now. Some research work with diseases of cattle and sheep has been in progress for years at Purdue, but the facilities available have been better suited for work on diseases of hogs and poultry. With development of the new farm, Hutchings believes the research veterinarians in a few years will be able to more adequately serve the needs of the rattle and sheep industries.

DEPT. RESHUFFLED INDIANAPOLtS, March 17 — j(INS)—A reshuffling of the In- ! diana Department of Conservation which actually was accomplished nearly a year ago, today became official. Tile Conservation Commission has formaily approved the removal of conservation officers, or game warden from the jurisdiction of the Fish and Game Division and placed them in a separate Division of Enforcemr/it. Col. Edwin K. Marlin, head of the Division of Enforcement, explained that shift took place last April, but that formal creation of the new division did not come until this week. He said:. “We held off to be sure that what looked good on paper would work out in practice. In my opinion, and in the opinion of the conservation officers, the change has been successful.’’ Col. Marlin opined that the greatest advantage of the revision has been a decentralization of authority. The five lieirtenants who head the five districts, created last April, assume responsibility foi their districts something in the manner in which the state police organization is set up. The state head is directly responsible to Commission director- Doxie Moore. The Enforcement Division chief noted that the requirements established for conservation officer candidates also are similar to that for prospective state troopers. They must ire high school graduates, between 21 and 40 years of age, and must meet certain physical standards. They also must be residents of Indiana and U. S. citizens. The conservation officers also divide their work between education. the ounce of prevention, and enforcement, the pound of sometimes cure. Col. Marlin, who feels the educational work done by the officers is their most important function, cited training in gun safety as an example. “Last year there were 93 persons killed or wounded in hunting accidents, and in addition seven children were killed and 11 injured in accidents involving firearms. " The conservation officers conduct training camps and other demonstrations designed to teach boys and girls the fundamentals of gun safety. Such instruction frequently is given to 4-H. Boy Scouts, or similar youth organizations. The 116 conservation officers are divided among five districts whose Headquarters are at Wells County Game Farm. JasperPuiaski game farm. Shakamak state Pars, Versailles state Park and the Indiana state fan grounds.

FARMING COMMENTS By K. W. Harris

What number and variety of corn am I going to plant this year? Many farmers probably have already contracted for their seed corn for this coming year. How'ever, many have not yet made their selection of seed. First of all—there are a number of very good reliable individuals and companies producing and selling hybrid seed corn, each of them having seed thet will fill a particular need under certain soil and rotation conditions. The one thing to remember is that the seed you buy cannot be any better than the individual or company producing it. because the production of hybrid seed corn is a highly technical and exacting business that takes a lot of knowledge, patience and careful attention. We have available in the county extension office a bulletin listing the performance of practically all of the Dent Corn Hybrids being produced and sold in Indiana. This includes Indiana certified seed being produced by individuals and organizations throughout the state of Indiana and most of popular hybrids sold by the major out of state seed corn companies. This publication is available for the asking— cither come in and pick one up or drop us a card and w*e will mail one to you. Roughly we can say that full season corns arc adaptable to the heavier leveler type soil in Putnam county, where wheat will jiot follow the corn crop. By and large, these full season hybrids under normal growing and weather conditions will produce the highest yields on these better types soils. If the seed is needed for a lighter colored upland soils that are still reasonably level and sligllly earlier maturing date is desired, the midseason maturing hybrid should be used. This would be the 600 series of Indiana Certified varieties and eaclr of the good commercial companies have a comparable corn that will fulfill this need. Many farmers are shifting to he earlier maturing corns that will be ready for harvesting some 00 days after planting. Wheat •an be seeded in most cases following harvest of these earlier uatnring varieties which are fully two weeks earlier than the nil season hybrids. Probably the best insurance hat you can obtain is the purjhase of a seed treatment containing Lindane and other materals that will control wire worm, seed corn magots and other soil

borne insects. Most products to the market are sold at a cost of about 16c to 18c per acre for this treatment. How many extrn

ears of corn at present prices will it take to pay for this seed treatment that will prevent these insects ?

Tastes so good pigs went

On Dry Feed First Week

So crammed with antibiotic pigs averaged 56 lbs. at 8 Weeks

•Pig* itort.d eoting Creep-20 with no trouble ot all . . . weaning wcighti ran from SO to 62 lb*.” Arthur Voth, Red Wing, Minn. CIIEEF29 A Product of ilufcefut

That first mouthful, of. dry feed a I baby pig eats has a double job to do: First, it must taste so good your baby pigs eat it eagerly. Second, it must be so crammed with antibiotic, vitamins and minerals that pigs get a real growth boost in those important early days after farrowing. That's why you hear so many hog raisers talking about Creep-20—the pig starter that gives you bf>ih palatability and stepped-up growth power I log raisers feeding Creep-20 reported weaning 40 to 50 lb pigs at 6 weeks, and others told of 60 pounders at 8 weeks. Some of these successful hog raisers said their pig» liked Creep-20 even better than atraight rolled oats. No wonder! Creep-20 actually i* 50% rolled oats—the long-recognized favorite of baby pigs.

And Nutrena has loaded Creep-20 with four times more antibiotic growth power than is required by older pigs. They loaded it with antibiotic because baby pigs eat so little, they need extra potency in every tiny bite. This combination of high palatability plus stepped-up antibiotic growth power is paying oft for many of your neighbors. We honestly feel it should do the same for you. So don’t let this Spring go by w ithout taking these two steps toward fast, low-cost gain- Vi-it with your friends who have ted Creep-20 and check their results Then—come on in and get a trial bag. Let your baby pigs nose around in it. Then, if you don’t agree they eat Creep-20 more eagerly than any other brand, Nutrena m!| refund vour money.
