Soil Tests Required For 1967 ACP Program

Soil tests will bs required as a basis for Agricultural Conservation Program cost-sharing payments for 1967 in Indiana, Richard Moser, chairman of the State Agricultural Conservation Program Development group and state chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Committee has announced. Twenty-seven counties now require the mandatory soil tests as a basis for ACP payments, Moser pointed out. And this has been a policy for many years in Indiana’s four neighboring states. Under the ACP program the federal government shares with farmers the cost of establishing vegetative cover to protect crop land, ditch banks, sod waterways and other areas

against soil erosion. Fertilizer and lime are needed to establish and maintain these cover crops. Moser designated the state soil testing laboratory at Purdue University as the official testing agency. Soil sampling instructions and sample boxes are available at county ex- : tension offices and county ! ASCS offices throughout the state. Nominal costs of the soil I testing service are borne by ' participating farmers, j County ASCS offices have the j lists of practices which are ap- | proved for cost-sharing ACP ' payments. Moser urged farmers who desire to sign up for ACP pay- ! ments in 1967 to test their soils ! as soon as possible. Farmers who wish details should visit i their county ASCS office.

A Local Tsenagw's View By JANET STAUB

People who travel or Just want to know where different places are, are familiar with road maps. Most maps used by motorists are obtained at service stations. Some stations offer to customers the service of mapping trips for them. Auto dubs often do this, too. Maps can be fun just to look at with no route to mark. Towns of the same name can be found. One town of Russellville is In our own county, and another is just across the Illinois state line. One other Is Goshen, Indiana, and Goshen, Kentucky. Some of the towns have very interesting names. Some that interested me were Commeskey, Mahlasville, Ragsdale, and Salemonia. The names also suggest things, as In Pleasantville, Freedom, and Collegeville. Lawmen might like the tqwn of Deputy, located in southern Indiana. Tourists can journey to Washington, Cincinnati, or even Pittsburgh without leaving Indiana. Maps weren’t always what they are today. In the old days, instead of going by road signs, people traveled by sighting landmarks. A person going on a trip would be told tq watch for a certain tree or house instead of a sign. Even with the much improved maps of today, people do get lost. BY THE WAY: Some people get lost just looking at a map!

CHU LAI, Viet Nam—Marine Lance Corporal Charles W. Bosley, son of Mrs. George W. Ellis of 1155 Avenue D, Greencastle, is presented the Silver Star by General Wallace M.

Lance Corporal Bosley received the award during ceremonies held at the Chu Lai combat base in Viet Nam. In the defense of an observation post deep within enemy territory against a Viet Cong battalion he exposed himself to the fire of the enemy in protection of the post.

Wall Street Chatter NEW YORK UPI — L. O. Hooper of W. E. Hutton A Co. says that the recent decline should slow down for a while after such a sharp depreciation and at best the present rally should be regarded as a contratrend movement rather than as an important turn.

Thomson A McKinnon says it believes further backing and filling will be necessary in order to broaden the market’s base for any consolidation phase. This would provide the momentum needed for more favorable markets in the weeks ahead, the firm adds.

Bache A Co. says it believes the market may see some improvement for a few days in view of Wednesday’s rally but it would not be surprised to see further price erosion.

‘Tt took five minutes on the radio to get him to quit firing at us,” said Lt. Walter Harrison fo Taylor, Tex., told UPI correspondent Leon Daniel in describing one run.

Book Memorial To Mrs. Nall The Greencastle - Putnam County Library has recently received the book, “Mr. Clemens and Mark Twain,” by Justin Kaplan. This book was presented to the library in memory of Elizabeth Nall, by Marion Mullendore. Mr. Kaplan set aside an editorial career to work on his long-planned biography of Mark Twain. He devoted six years to intensive research in Mark Twain Archives in Cambridge, Washington, Hartford and New York, and has produced a well documented and fascinating

book.

The title, "Mr. Clemens and Mark Twain”, was an excellent choice for the book, which SO brilliantly reveals Clemens, the remarkable literary figure whose character exemplified the conflict between moral scrutiny and the drive to succeed. The authOr says, “Mr. Clemens lived the Gilded Life that Twain despised.” Mr. Kaplan has read most of the voluminous material which has been previously published about Clemens, has cast out the legends and half truths and has produced a fine picture of the great comic spirit who was Samuel Clemens.

—South Putnam (Continued from Page 1) munity School Corporation will lose the $750,000 the State is holding to loan the School Corporation by October 1, if a contract is not signed. Also, Brennen stated that the Board is required by the State and by Court Order to begin construction of a suitable high schooL Brennen informed the Board that the more expensive leaserental method would mean almost a tax increase of 70 cents per $100.00 of assessed valua-

tion.

Brennen stated the reason the Mt. Meridian site was not selected was due to an inadequate water supply. The State frowns on well water when municipal water is available, and at the junction site, water from Greencastle will be available when the South 43 Water Company completes their plans for a water line down Ind. 43. Hedrick reported to the Board that the South 43 Water Company will make a commitment next week on whether to continue with their plans. A discussion followed on the two alternatives presented by Brennen, but no official action was taken. Frank Jarrell raised the question of the possibility of the Board going to the Attorney General and requesting a decision on the legality of the second bond issue. But Brennen stated the Attorney General would not honor their request because the School Board is not an official State Government body. Superintendent Hedrick read the resignations of Betty Niswonger, who is going to teach in California and Don Whitehead, who has accepted a position with The Daily Banner. A leave of absence was granted to Brenda Haas, who has accepted a Graduate Teaching Fellowship at Indiana State University to pursue her graduate training. Parker Real Estate of Stilesville appraised the land at the Junction Site and the report was read by Hedrick. Bucheit land of 11.2 acres was appraised at $1,200 an acre and the P. G. Evans property was valued at $600 an acre according to the Parker report. Hedrick requested permission from the Board to obtain a court order allowing the Board permission to inspect further the Bucheit property, as presently the property is "off limits” to the Board. Permission granted. President James Giddings stated the next board meeting will be held September 6, at 7:30 p. m. in the Courthouse.
