GOVERNOR OFFERS IDEA TO HOOSIERS Opinion Is It Would Make Stronger Marketing ■ ; .An agriculo for “superior ts” was ad- • vernor M. tiie Purdue , .dinner. ,Js and ■ i6r said: , teps are d adopt tradei< ult.ural ■ rality. 4. her state : .ide-mark idvantage. vat stress on , , tidies, and a trade- . t'.iii call this to the atten- , 4 consumem ail over the ..Oil. ' When the consumer becomes! accustomed to identifying Hoosier products as quality products, he will ask fffi' the trade-marked product. And that will mean an increased demand for Hoosier farm commodities. There is no reason why the Indiana tomajOr should not become as well-known 4s the California sunkist orange. We speak of Idaho potatoes ana Oregon apples. Why not Hoosier ihelons and Hoosier peppermint? “In times past, the people of the United States were inclined to think ol the problems of tht* farmers as isolated problems which did not greatly concern them. But today we realize that the economic and social status of the farmer affects everyone. “What government has tried toj d<> is to establish a secure farm; inconie and protect the farmer as fnuch as possible from price collapse, years of bad crops as a result of drought, dust storms, erosion and disease. The entire economic system of the nation trembles when farm prices fluctuate from extreme to extreme. /"I’Today the farmer is getting a better share of the price the consumer pays for food than he has received for many yea s. A study <>f prices paid in a year by the average family for 58 different foods shows the farmer’s share has increased 65°per cent since 1932. “At this time we are in the process of changing over from a temporary program which was hastily assembled because of the demand for immediate action into a permanent, long-range program for the farmer. .“I think that there is a possibility that an extra session of p..iv rpss may be called to enact * efarm program, I sugp Secretary Wallace a . o a > that pending any Ihe farmers of • i'.en a loan of —; corn to pree in Decem- ■ to nition carefully aged in ■e state rve ’ne i either 11 Crawfffiate High. .-. ■-•lied today.

The sum of 1,000,000 roubles was expended by the .Government for the installation of such telephone service during the year, and of the 1,470 villages throughout the country, 1,215 now have telephone service.

HYBRID SEED CORN ’ FIELD-DAY FEATURE) | At the field day for Northern) Indiana Corn Growers to be held! in and around Kimmell on Tues.) day, October 12,' yield checks will! Ibe shown for eleven different! hybrids grown in variety tests this year, states M. A. Nye, Noble) county agricultural agent, Albion. From 10 to 12 a. m. inspection; will be made of the Roy Parker hybrid seed corn drying and processing house in Kimmell. At 1J p. m. a tour will be made of three; farms near Kimmell raising hybrid where comparisons will be made with the farmers own strain ol co n.

State Roads Four thousand and fifty-five workers were employed by con-! tractors engaged in state highway} construction during September, it was pointed out today by Earl Crawford, chairman of the State' Highway Commission. This report I does not include employes of tne highway commission,- only workmen directly employed by contractors. The September employment figure snows a decrease of approximately seven hundred workmen from the August report, the reduction being due to tne completion of a number of construction contracts. Peak of the employment in highway construction was reached in July when 5,302 workers were engaged in laying pavement, building bridges and grade separations, and similar improve-; ment work. ■ Favorable weather for construe, i lion work during the spring and I summer months has resulted in the) earlier completion of highway) projects than in the past. This' condition is also reflected in the smaller number of detours, in effect around sections of state highways where construction or improvement work is still in progress. With the 1V37 construction program nearly complete, state highway engineers are engaged in , surveys and plans for improvement work considered as a part ' of the 1938 program. In the de.

One or two tablets of ALKASELTZER in a glass of water makes a pleasant alkalizing » solution that usually brings relief in just a few minutes. ALKA-SELTZER is also recommended for Gas on Stomach, “Morning After”, Acid Indigestion, Colds, and Muscular Pains. You will like the tangy flavor and the results when you take Alka-Seltzer. Alka-Seltzer, when dissolved in water, contains an analgesic, (Sodium Acetyl-Salicyl-ate). In addition, the alkalizing agents in Alka-Seltzer help to relieve those everyday disorders associated with hyperacidity. Small package 39c KpJgf. Large package

SUBMARGINAL I LAND PROGRAM IS OUTLINED A land-use program, separate I from the Agricultural Conserva) Ition Program, to apply to subniarkinal lands of Indiana, unfit : for continued cropping, has been I recommended to Nortn Central 1 j Division authorities of the A,gricul« Rural Adjustment Administration; }at Washington by State agricul-tural-conservation committeemen and program-planning groups, according to V. D. Sexson, Purdue extension representative. It also* was recommended by the! Stkje* committeemen and planning groups of Indiana, Sexson pointed; out , that such a land-use program should not overlap or duplicate similar programs conducted in various submarginal areas by other governmental agencies. These recommendations were; contained in the State summary of suggestions and . ecommendations! concerning the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program forwarded v o officials of the North Central, division at Washington recently by the Indiana State AgrirculturaL Conservation committee. The summary is now being stud-1 ied by North Central Division oft-; icials and its suggestions and re-, commendations are being considered in connection with apropos- j ed outline of the 1938 program. | One or more program outlines, will be submitted by North C'en-; tral Division officials to Indiana) conservation and planning groups | by North Central Division offici- ; als. The questions were: A. Should a 1 general land-use program be de- > iveloped by the several « govern.! i mental agencies to displace event-1 ! ually the Agricultural Conservation Program in areas unsuited to! [continuing production of planted) crops? B. Should the Agricultural i Adjustment Administration in 1938 cease to make grants for agricultural conservation .on land areas ‘unsuited to contihuing production of planted crops? The aim of a land-use program for submarginal areas Sexson explained, be to remove from tne production of planted grops, land incapable of providing a dependable living for owner or tenant farm families and which land, in favorable crop years, may add substantially to crop surpluses, “Submarginal lands, under such) ,'a program”, Sexson said, “would! Ibe put to the uses to wnich they I iare best adapted. ' “For Indiana,” he said, “this ; ! would mean establishing permanient cover crops, through a program that will encourage this move, on lands that seldom produce good planted crops and which have been subject to devastating j erosion during the past several ' years of drought.” • ; ————— | velopment of plans for new construction and modernizing pres- ' ent highways and structures, particular attention is being given to tne elimination of possible traffic

JCAniE MOVEMENT TOj )T0 CORNBELT ATPEAK — “The annual fall movement of | | stocker and feeder cattle and ; feeder lambs from the range [country to the corn belt is now at I its peak,” said Scott Meiks, man. 1 ager of the Indianapolis Producers !Commission Association. “A bet. ter corn crop and a better than ! average growth of fall pastures in [the corn belt have encouraged an active demand for both. The) ! wide margin between the laying. [ in costs a year ago and the selling' [price of fat cattle this season also) has stimulated the interest. j “The price of stocker and feed.) ler cattle is well above R ye:u- ago,' but the feeden is assured of lower! ■feed costs during the coming! season. The total cost of the tin I ished bullock may not be far diff. )erent from last year. No feeder, ! however, can expect the wide J margin enjoyed this year. [ “The present valuation of cattle) is undoubtedly on a higher level than is likely to be maintained,” !continued Mr. Mei.ks. “The supply! of beef type cattle is materially under the peak at the beginning ■of 1934, but is not abnormally low, and there is no indication I now of anything unusual in the supply of beet during the next jtwelve months. The greatest call this year has been for light cattle; [the average feeder seemingly is 'paying more attention to per head [cost than per pound cost. “There has been a better than average demand for western feeder lambs. The abundant supply of grain and regume hay, plus the rank growth of fall pastures, have maintained an active demand- Due to better range conditions lambs are coming heavier than usual. Apparently the number of lambs on feed in the corn belt will not be above normal, as the supply from the northwest is below last year, with a greater proportion of the lambs going direct from the range to the killer; while the sup ply from the southwest has been above last year. “While the condition of thujas. ■ lure has been good all season, iia_ five lambs are not coming to the, market in as good condition as) would naturally Be expected,” said! 'Mr. Meiks. “The wer.ther that has! ’been favorable to the ’develop-! ment of parasites, and more native lambs are affected than •usual.” ' ' ' / - ; ; — —

PENCE URGES ) ! USE OF MORE WINTER CROPS Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 7. More extensive use of winter cover! crops on sloping jerop land is among the practices used on; farms whose owners are co-operat-ing' with the Soil Conservation ) Service, according to M. O. ) | Pence of Purdue University, who is a member, of the State committee on Soil Conservation. The practice is being emphasized especially no,w, Pence states, iso that farmers will plant cover jcrops this fall. All sloping fields,) i wnich would ordinarily be wit iilout vegetative cover during the winter months, should be planted to a cover crop, and especially does corn land, to be followed, by corn, soy-beans, or other cuiti. vated crops, need this kind of I protection against soil erosion. Planting available small grains 'grown on the farm, such as wheat,Tye, winter oats, or winter barley, will help hold down the cost <>f this practice to a minimum. Pence suggests. Few legumes lean be recommended for this purpose '!by the Purdue Agricultural Ex--1 periment Station, but winter vetch ' seeded with rye may be used to a ’ limited extent in the northern 1 third of the state. This legume should be seeded as soon as posI Isible in order to make a good (growth before winter. Winter vetch should be inoculated with a reliable culture before seeding. Winter oats or winter barley are not recommended except in ; the southern third of the state. [Of these two crops barley is the ; I more hardy, and is surer to survive the winter and hence, be jpresent to hold the soil in place (during late winter and early II spring.
