Extension news By JERRY WILLIAMS County Youth Agent The Putnam County Fair opens, Sunday, with the Dress Revue. Many of the girls enrolled in clothing projects will model their garments at the inside arena at the fairgrounds. Immediately following the Dress Revue there will be a dedication of the new flag pole. This flagpole was dedicated to the fair by the Lee Toney family as a memorial to their son, Ronnie. He lost his life in an auto accident while going h o m e from a Junior Leader meeting. The flag pole will add a lot to the fairgrounds. Judge Francis Hamilton will speak at the dedioption along with the Rev. Kyle Miller. M e m b e r s of 4-H and F.F.A. will raise the flags. I hope that many of you come to see the dedication of the memorial. The dedication will start immediately following the Dress Revue at approximately 4 p.m. The Sunday evening church service will start at 7:30 p.m., and it will also be held in the inside arena. Representative John Thomas, Brazil, will be the speaker. Thomas is the district lay leader in the Methodist Church. The 4-H Chorus and the Home Economics Chorus will sing special numbers. On Monday the 4-H Swine Show will start the morning events. The day will be climaxed by the Queen Contest. The Queen Contest will be held in the outside arena. Let’s hope that it does not rain at the fair. Another attraction will be the Young America Fair. This tent is located next to the Industrial Building.There will be dancing every evening starting at 7:30 p.m. There will be the battle of the

bands which should provide interesting sounds. Tuesday’s program will include the open class pig show, Young America Fair, the amateur talent contest, and the 4-H fitting contest. The talent contest will be held in the outside arena and will start at 7:30 p.m. Right before the talent contest at 6:30, the Greencastle Band will perform in the outside arena. The high school band concerts are a new attraction this year. If you have ever wondered what went into the fitting of an animal for show, come to the fitting contest. Boys and girls showing beef, sheep, pigs, and dairy will be competing to see who can do the best job of getting an animal ready to show. Wednesday fair goers can see the sheep show, 4-H horse and pony show, Young America fair, talent contest, andtheCloverdale band concert. Other attractions will be the chicken barbeque contest and the flower arrangement contest. Thursday’s program will feature the beef show, horse and pony show, and the 4-H livestock sale. 4-H animals will be auctioned to buyers on Thursday evening. Friday will provide the dairy show, garden tractor pull, big tractor pull, Young America Fair, and theShowmanshipfinals. The gold medal calf show, the open class horse show, antique car display, teen dance, square dance, tractor operator’s contest, and the finals of the talent contest will take place on Saturday. As you can see, there will be a lot of activity at the 1968 Putnam County Fair.

Horticultural Tips

BLOSSOM-END ROT This plant disease is the result of unfavorable conditions of the environment (temperature, soil, moisture, nutrient supply and balance, etc.). Blossom-end rot occurs to some extent wherever tomatoes are grown. It is most likely to occur when the tomatoes are about half grown, but it can occur any time while the fruit is developing. A small, water-soaked spot first develops at or near the stem end of the infected tomatoes. The spot enlarges and darkens, and during the process becomes sunken and leathery. Blossom-end rot is most prevalent during prolonged dry periods that occur while the plant is making vigorous growth. It may also occur after periods of abundant rain. Heavy applications of nitrogen fertilizer and extreme fluctuations in moisture favor the disease. CONTROL: “At plantingtime” apply three pounds of 12-12-12 or similar analysis fertilizer for each 100 sq. ft. of garden area. Avoid excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers. “Water during periods of dry weather.” “Mulch to conserve moisture.” Punished enough DARTMOOR, England (UPI) — Prison officers decided to take no disciplinary action against eight prisoners who got drunk on a brand of moonshine made of molasses and yeast. • “Their hangovers have to be seen to be believed,” an official said.

Lighter Side By DICK WEST 5:

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) — The percentage of Americans who do hard manual labor is steadily declining, and this is bringing about certain changes in our body chemistry. For one thing, our gastric juices are becoming sluggish, making it difficult for us to digest certain foods. Nowhere is this more vividly illustrated than in the case of dried beans. Ever since the founding of our republic, beans have been a bulwark of democracy. They are interwoven into our Ian-

HOLLYWOOD (UPI) -The overwhelming burden of being the first black performer to carry a weekly television series has fallen on the slender shoulders of singer Diahann Carroll. Unlike Bill Cosby, who had Robert Culph at his side, Diahann will go it alone. It’s a tough proposition for any black star, particularly a woman. But one suspects Diahann will meet the challenge and win. Beginning this fall she will star for NBC-TV in “Julia,” playing a middle class widow with a 6-year-old son. Her show has already been rapped by one magazine critic because it is fantasy, not reality—and the critic hadn’t even seen the pilot. Diahann is the first to admit “Julia” won’t depict the average black woman: “She’s not supposed to be a reflection of the great majority of young black women. But she does reflect thousands of black women in the United States. “Television is not a reflection of life in the United States either. “Julia will have a lot of advantages that many blacks and whites don’t have; stemming from education. She also has a great inner drive.” Will ghetto dwellers and other blacks be offended by the material wealth and affluence enjoyed by “Julia?”

guage. (“You’re full of beans.” “You’ll never amount to a hill of beans,” etc.) They are an important part of our history and culture. (“The Boston Bean Party,” etc.) Drop in Consumption But back in 1953, the California Lima Bean Advisory Board discovered an alarming drop in per capita bean consumption. It appeared we were turning our backs on one of the things that had helped make this country great. A consumer study disclosed, however, that there was nothing subversive in the bean

“I’m sure there are many people who watch TV who don’t have what the Beverly Hillbillies have,” Diahann answered with a smile. “The very fact that ‘Julia’ is going on the air with a black woman as its star is a very good and positive thing. Starting from that premise there are many truths that can be accomplished once we are on the air and have a kind of acceptance.” Diahann is beautiful. Her voice is soft, her convictions resolute. She believes her show will help discredit racism. “We live in a segregated society,” she said matter-of-factly. “Julia will allow millions of white people who have not been exposed to black middle class society at all to know one another a little better.” By invitation BARDSLEY, England (UPI) — The congregation had just begun the second stanza of “Come Gracious Spirit, Heavenly Dove,” when a piegon fluttered into the church and lit on Gladys Knowles’ Sunday straw hat. Mrs. Knowles, still singing, rose from her seat and walked slowly out of the church with the unexpected visitor, perched contentedly atop her head.

gap. Rather, the decline was attributed to (1) the length of time it takes to cook beans, and (2) difficulty in’ digesting them. I don't know what the ratio is, but judging from my own experience if it takes three hours to cook a pot of beans, it takes three days to digest them. Any, as Rep. John J. McFall, D-Calif., * pointed out in the congressional record recently, beans had become “ill fitted to the hurried habits and sedentary occupations of modern life.” Springs into Action Once it became aware of the situation, the bean board immediately sprang into action. Aided by federal grants and other contributions, it organized a program aimed at restoring the bean to its former position of power and glory. Thus began another thrilling chapter in the annals of scientific research— a chapter that brings us to the brink of what McFall describes as a “dramatic breakthrough.” Already, he reports, “two amazing quick-cooking dry bean products” have been developed in the laboratory. More important. it now appears that science may be on the verge of taking the indigestibility out of beans. When and if that comes to pass, there is hope for a fumeless onion and a radish with the after-taste removed. Stop trash burning in open dumps INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—R e gulations adopted Thursday by the Indiana A i r Pollution Control Board would prohboperation of thousands of open dump burning sites around the state. Air control regulations adopted by the board must be approved by Governor Branigin and Atty. Gen. John J. Dillon before they can become effective. The regulations adopted Thursday govern the emission of particulate matter into the Indiana atmosphere. One of the regulations would prohibit open burning at dumps, which technical secretary Perry E. Miller said probably number 3,000 to 4,000. The regulation was not aimed at the backyard incinerator, he said. Other regulations cover the control of emissions from burning of fuels for indirect heating; smoke and other visible emissions from chimneys; allowable emissions from industry based on amounts of raw materials used, and the control of emissions from incinerators.
