Farm Holding Action Something is happening on the farm scene that is well worth watching. Organizations have been formed in 500 midwestern counties among farmers to withhold their grains and meats from the market place. The action began at midnight Friday, and should be felt within 10 days or two weeks. Making up the farm movement are what is commonly termed “small” farmers, those on 200 to 300 acres, They are the ones feeling the “pinch” between cost and price. They state industry sets its own price

No Favors The Portland, Oregon, Journal, quickly and accurately sums up the railroad featherbedding problem which has brought on the threat of paralyzing na-tion-wide strike in these opening words to an editorial: “Why should anyone be forced to hire employes he doesn’t need? In essence, the dispute between the nation’s railroads and the five on-train unions boil down to this. . The Journal’s editorial deals with union reaction to the study of railroad work rules — some of which date back almost half a century — made by a distinguished commission appointed by President Eisenhower which reported, after more than a year of work, to President Kennedy. The railroads accepted the recommendations. The unions refused them. What does the commission propose? Basically, it proposes that the railroads be relieved, over a period of years, of the heavy cost of providing jobs which technological progress has made obsolete. But

Indiana's Quest For A New linage

(A report adopted by the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association at French Lick August 25, 1962) We are honored to welcome our guests of the Midwest Democratic Conference to our editorial association’s 86th annual meeting and to the Hoosier state and to the hospitality of its Democratic leaders. The political history of Indiana offers a dramatic comparison in government by two majority parties. It reveals, with astounding contrast, the dignified and progressive services of the Democratic party through the years, in comparison with the blighted regimes of the Republican party. The state has experienced its greatest progress, free of scandal and doubt, under the leadership of such great names as Marshall, Ralston, McNutt, Townsend, Schricker and Welsh. On the other hand, when the pages of political history are turned back to the reign of many Republican governors, the sound of a thousand skeltons rattle in the closet. These areas of public disservice recall an intolerable burden which the people of the state have so unjustly been called upon to endure. Historically, the record of Republican administrations in Indiana is blackened with memories of the ruthless political power of the Ku Klux Klan and, subsequently with years of protracted religions and racial intolerance, backwardness and bigotry. Such handicaps, sustained in bitter partisanship, continue to appear from • time to. time as significant dangers to educational, social, and economic progress.

By DONALD FRANTZ Agriculture Extension Agent ' The Northeastern Indiana Farm Management Tour will be held on September 13 in Kosciusko and Wabash counties. The principle interest this year is in hog production. The first stop will be at the Silver Lake elevator at 9:30 to see its slotted floor house and lagoon for manure handling. It looks like an interesting tour again this year. We have tried to avoid these great big farms that have tremendous financing behind. them and visit average sized farms. We hope to show things of

We are expecting more people this year. • e • The date for the Agronomy Field Day at the Purdue Agronomy Farm has been set for September 20. New crop varieties, weed and insect control and management practices will be on display. Also on schedule for September 17 is the state Swine Management Tour. This will be held in Tipton and Clinton counties. I have the program details for these two events. Fanning is one of the most hazardous of all occupations.

for a manufactured commodity, and they should also have something to say about what price they should receive for their manufactured product. We hesitate to comment that their action is right or wrong, for certainly the farm problem is one more complex than most experts in Washington are wont to admit. But this is for sure: We admire the grass roots action of farmers to work out their own salvation, as opposed to constatly looking to Washington for a pat solution.

the report is not, by any means, a one-way-street affair. The commission also recommended a long list of workers benefits — including retaining of displaced labor at railroad expense, wage increases for three-fourths of the operating workers, improved working conditions and retirement privileges, and so on. In other words, it fully recognized the human issues involved. The unions, so far, have been 100 per cent recalcitrant — despite the fact that the financial plight of the railroads, which in large” part results from featherbedding, imperils all roailroad jobs. In this connection another thing the Oregon Journal said is as apt as its opening words: “Union leaders are doing their memberships no favors by refusing a compromise based on the findings of the President’s commission while the climate is still favorable, and while there is public sympathy toward easing the problem of displaced union workers.”

Democratic governors have seldom failed to give impretus to a new sense of direction away from these perils, and with enlightened vision, they have moved to satisfy a deep yearning of the people of Indiana for a New Image to be presented in the light of national recognition. Recognizingthe important quest, it is with patriotic resolution that we endorse the promising leadership of the Democratic candidates for the United States Senate — Birch Bayh —a brilliant and forthright young man who represents the high calibre of statesmanship which Indiana must so eagerly look to this year. We enthusiastically commend the valiant services of our United States Senator, Vance Hartke, who has quiently and vigorously brought to our state a broad scope of economic and social achievements in a manner that has not been recorded by any of Indiana’s representatives in the U. S. Senate in many years. Hartke and Bayh will make a great team for bringing many long overdue services and advantages to the people of Indiana. We strongly endorse all Democratic candidates for congressional, state, and local officials, emphasizing the urgency of backing the administrations of President John F. Kennedy and Governor Matthew E. Welsh. We therefore join with all Hoosiers in recognition of the fact that Democratic responsibility in office traditionally has given strength to the ambitions of the people of our state — to free themselves from intolerance and bigotry, and to go forward in a new light of dignity and progress.

Farmers are thedr own safety directors and they either depend upon good judgment or upon good luck. • • • One of the real hazards this fall is in filling silos. This job has always been risky but a new factor was introduced when we tarted using high levels of nitrogen on our com crops. This has increased the nitrogen level in oom and has increased the rate of release of nitrogen dioxide as the com goes through the ensiling process. Let me get into some details on. this.

GIVING HER A ROUGH RIDE

Dear Amy: Last year my husband was very sick and I was stuck without him being able to drive me shopping, etc. So I went to a driving school and learned how. I was very happy with my accomplishment and couldn’t wait until he recovered to show him. Well, all he does is complain that I don’t drive to suit him. We’ve had nothing but arguments over my driving. I try to drive as he wishes me to, but I can’t please him. He works as a printer. To add further insult and burn me up worse, he brought home a pasteon sign and put it on the bumper. It reads. “Don’t Drive Like My Wife.” What should I do about this ... and that man? If other women have had this problem, I would like to know how they resolved it. A Good Woman Driver Dear Driver: I have received similar problems from other ‘good women drivers’. When they are driving alone, they concentrate on driving sensibly and safely. When they are with the ‘backseat boss’, they hand him the wheel. PJS. Ignore the sign. He’s Tiding’ you. It’s a sign he’s a poor sport! • • • Dear Amy: I am a widow and I’ve been interested in a man about 7 or 8 years my senior. He belongs to my church. He is a very good, respectable gentleman and he is also a widower. We have shaken hands in church but I would like to get better acquainted with him. I just don’t know how to go about it Sometimes I think he doesn’t want any women but when he shakes hands with me, he looks right into my eyes like he’s feeling sorry for me or something. I also catch him looking around the church and when he sees me, he stares. I don’t know if he’s just cautious or if he’s afraid of what people will think of him. How should I go about getting better acquainted with him without him thinking I am vulgar or the like? Bernice Dear Bernice: There is nothing vulgar about two lonely people wanting to get better acquainted. Talk to your clergyman. He is quite adept in mentation period, acids are formed and nitrous acid is oile of them. With this much heat the acid breaks down into gases and nitrogen dioxide is one of the gases released. This stuff is real dangerous. Nitrogen dioxide is heavier than air and it is red in color. There are times when you can see it. Because of its weight it does not dissipate easily but rather it tends to settle. Some of these new feeding sheds built around the base of silos are a good place for it to settle into. • • * Doctors report that the disease they call “Silo Fillers Disease,” is hard to diagnose and difficult to treat. The symptoms are a severe congestion of the lungs, severe coughing, even drawing blood. The use of oxygen helps but it doesn’t cure the trouble and the only real method of combatting the trouble is to prevent it « • « The formation of nitrogen dioxide gas only takes place while fermentation is in progress and this takes about 10 days to two weeks. This is the danger period. After that time the soil can be safely entered without much risk. So the precautions are simply these. Stay out of the silo and keep the kids out for a couple or three weeks after the silft has been filled. When you refill and have to go into the top, make sure the flower is running and finally, be sure that there is plenty of ventilation in the feed room. These are rather easy ways to prevent a lot of serious trouble.

Farm Management Tour Sept. 13 The second northeastern Indiana Farm Management Tour will be held Thursday, Sept. 13, in Kosciusko and Wabash counties, according to Donald E. Frantz, Kosciusko county agricultural agent. The tour will begin at 9:30 a. m. at the Strauss elevator at Silver Lake where a 100 hog slatted floor feeding house will be visited. The unit uses a lagoon for manure disposal. Jim, Frieden, manager, will explain the feeding operations. The farm of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Little, 5 miles SW of North Manchester, will be visited at 11 a. m. On this farm the swine production is 100 litters a year and the beef program is 50 head. Following the noon luncheon at the Laketon school, the entourage will visit the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Dari Dawes, 3 miles NE of Urbana, where 350 litters of pigs are farrowed each year and a confinement feeding program is used with new facilities. They also feed 75 head of cattle. Dr. Fred Andrews, head of the Anical Science Department at Purdue, will speak at the noon luncheon at the Laketon school.

uniting members of his congregay tion! u• • • !, Dear Amy: il About one year ago you quoted y in your very interesting column a t letter from one of your readers :- in which the reader asked your opinion regarding people who ali low their dogs, large and small, . to make themselves obnoxious to s visiting friends by jumping in s their laps, licking their hands and B faces and if allowed to do so, snagging the women’s stockings, } etc. j This reader’s letter was a - masterpiece and your comment . hit the nail on the head. Would it r be possible for you to have that letter printed again? A few of . your readers who are not exactly i ‘Dog Lovers’ would appreciate it 1 immensely. . Jane and Jean Dear Jane and Jean: Here it is: • Dear Amy: i Do you think it’s fair when you ! go visiting (invited of course) for ! your hosts to allow their dogs to ' jump all over you. Up to date, I ' have stopped visiting three friends of mine because they do not chain ■ their animals when they have r guests. Frankly, I can’t stand rambunctious dogs and I think these people are very crude to allow - their dogs to run wild all over me I . . . wet my clothes and get me > all hairy. They think it’s sooo , cute. But I’m fed up with it. By i the time I leave their house, I i can’t wait till I get home and i under the shower. They can love , their dogs if they want, but I : don’t have to. Maybe if you tell : them, too, they’ll chain their ‘liti tie darlings’. i Not Mad, Just Normal ' Dear Normal: You’re dog-gone normal! Dogs, unless they are well trained, should be kept out of sight when ■ guests arrive.

UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN Unemployment insurance claims dropped by almost 5,300 last week following recalls to work in the steel and automobile industries. No large layoffs were reported 1 and Indiana’s claims total was 31, ’ 166 compared to 42,438 the week before. Lewis F. Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said that a year ago during the week ending Aug. 26, unemployed Hoosiers filed 41, 266 regular and 12,904 extended benefit claims. He said that the decrease last week was widespread throughout the state. Os the seven division offices reporting any increase in initial claims, only one tallied a rise of more than 50 over the week before. Three offices noted increases of 16, 21, and 7, respectively, in continued claims. WEEKLY FISHING REPORT Reports coming in from the field personnel show the fishing to be fair to good.
