The heading for this editorial is a poor attempt at a pun, but the meaning is clear. JMadam’e Nhu of Viet Nam has been sounding off in America during the past week about the actions of our country in a fashion that her government would not tolerate of an outsider in Viet Nam. We don’t entirely agree with what she says, but we defend her right td say it. This is typically American. Our freedom JFK And Catholic Vote One can better understand the strategy of certain conservative Republicans jn viewing the results of several recent Gallup Polls. One showed that the Republican candidate for President could" expect to receive only about 10 per cent of the Negro vote in 1964, no matter who he was, and that he had not received the Negro vote for many years. . Another showed that President John F. Kennedy, who won the heavy majority of Modern Fable A modern version of one of Aesop’s fables in making the rounds. We’ll let you decide whether you like the new or old better. Everyone knows the story about the ant and the grasshopper. The ant worked hard all summer, putting away food for the winter. The grasshopper jumped around, having fun, unconcerned about the future. Came winter time and the ant, snug in his nest, ate well, while the playboy grasshopper starved to death. That’s the old version.

FARM j; NOTEsl;ff3r=

DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent THE OUTLOOK for hog production in the next few months would indicate that no big over supply is in sight after the present marketings are completed. The intentions of Indiana farmers are to reduce the September through November farrowing by about 6 per cent as compared to the same period last year. These would be » the hogs coming to market in late winter and spring of next year, The intentions for December through February show a slight decrease of about 5 per cent. There are a lot of pigs on farms right now and will be going in during the winter months. Farmers generally have created a steady pattern of marketing hogs over

of speech has allowed salty old Nikita Khrushchev to berate America on our shores and we smike politely. We extend this same privilege to Mme. ■Nhu even though we know her exotic beauty and dainty mannerisms give undue emphasis to her cause. We will continue to let her speak, and let the world judge our actions toward her and her iron-fisted government in Viet Nam. ’ E> : Catholic votes in 1960 (but not all), could expect to receive between 80 and 85 per cent of the Catholic vote in 1964. Considering these prospects, it is no wonder that one school of strategy among Republicans is that they should concentrate on areas where they have a chance to win the majority vote. One of these areas is the South. In fact, this is the only chance the Republians have to win in 1964, in the opinion of many party strategists. Now, look at the modern one. The ant worked hard all summer, putting away food for the winter. The grasshopper jumped around, having fun. You see he knew that the government would take care of him and that it was no longer necessary to work hard and save. When the winter rolled- in, and the ant figured he had it made for the whole season, a tax collector rapped at his door and reminded him that the new laws require that he give up a lot of what he had saved so that the playboy grasshopper could eat too.

the past several years and we have had less of the wide price changes than we used to have. Some have contended that this is proof of the producers ability to regulate their own production without any outside controls. Unless this big com crop would over stimulate hog production, we can expect a rather narrow spread in prices. ♦ . • GET THE EVERGREENS around your house ready for winter by watering them this fall. Purdue university extension horticulturalists say water can make the difference between having scrawny, sickly shrubs or vigorous, colorful evergreens all year. Fall watering is necessary because evergreens lose moisture all year through their leaves. If your evergreens dry up this fall and stay dry all winter, you’ll see “winter injury” next spring. And sections of your evergreens will look brown and skimpy next spring and summer. Also, mulches help. Leaves or peat moss around the base of your shrubs will increase moisture re-

tention during the winter months. When winter injury occurs, you should remove dead areas as soon as they appear in the spring. They apply a complete fertilizer in late March or April to help damaged shrubs renew their foliage. The horticulturists caution not to add fertilizer in the fall when the evergreen foliage may grow. This growth mat/ be weak and especially subject to winter injury. ■* * ALTHOUGH CEREAL leaf beetle populations build up rapidly in northern Indiana this year, a Purdue university research entomologist believes this new pest will not cause serious crop loss outside that area in 1964. M. Curtis Wilson, who is in charge of cereal leaf bettie field research, says that damage probably will be most severe north of U. S. Highway 30, which cuts diagonally across the state from the Calumet region through Fort Wafyne. As sb result of research, Purdue’s entomology department expects to issue this winter spray control recommendations for use by farmers in the spring of 1964. The entomologists are searching for plants which will resist attacks by the beetle. They are also studying biological control possibilities of parasites, predators and diseases. Parallel research in Europe, where the beetle originated, is expected to be helpful. Studies in the entomology department’s new environmental climate control chamber are planned duplicating climate of southern Indiana to see how the beetle would behave if it ever spread in that area. Wilson reports that 10 times as many adult beetles were found this fall in St. Joseph and LaPorte counties where the initial infestations were discovered a year ago. However, crop damage was not widespread last summer, although three oats fields in St. Joseph county were damaged sufficiently that farmers plowed them under. Com emergence is late enough that larvae of the beetle do not injure it, Wilson explains. However, there is some feeding on com by adult beetles. Cereal leaf beetles emerge early in the spring, feed on quack grass, orchard grass and foxtail, then move to winter wheit and spring oats. They prefer spring seeded small grains. Therefore, in Indiana more damage is done to oats than to wheat or barley. The beetles are active six to eight weeks and are difficult to control at this time. Adult beetles are active fliers. They were captured at a height of 1,000 feet in the air last summer. Wilson says this raises the possi-

A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME....

Dear Amy: I’m going with a wonderful fellow for over two years. We are both very much in love and plan to marry in about 2 years. This may sound a little juvenile, but it really has bothered me for some time. His surname is one of the worst I have ever heard. I would like to know how to go about asking him to have it changed? I don’t want to hurt him if I can help it. Also could you give me some information about changing one’s name? Mairlyn Dear Mairlyn: Having a name changed is fairly simple. Any lawyer can do it. However getting your Q fiance’s consent will be very likely more difficult. You can suggest it but if you want YOUR surname changed, don’t press trying to change his! * * * Dear Amy: Can you please tell me why is a Nudist? A relative of mine has been one for years and I’ve met or known of a good many others—kids, students, business people, salesmen, clerks, teachers, doctors, retired couples—all apparently nice people and well regarded in their communities. As you must surely know, they have a big organization with members all over the world, and strict rules of conduct observed in the individual camps. All this I have learned, but I still don’t understand what motivates them. What sort of person enjoys going naked among other naked folks? They seem to - represent all kinds, but is there a key to such behavior? Clothing Addict Dear C. A.: There is no ‘key’ to Nudism. Their motivation is the belief that through nudism they will enjoy more healthful living. My knowledge is somewhat limited on the subject since no member has ‘bared’ their innermost thoughts to me, but here and now I’m inviting them to do so. I’ll print all authentic letters received. • • * Dear Amy: I (have noticed my mother’s house plants turn and lean toward

Ind. Farm Bureau Convention Set For Nov. 10-12

INDIANAPOLIS — Stage two of a procedure which refines and reunites farmers’ opinions is the annual meeting of Indiana Farm Bureau. This year’s convention — essentially policymaking in character — will be November 10-12 at the Murat Temple, Indianapolis. The first stage is being carried out this month as county Farm Bureaus meet to draft policy recommendations and elect voting delegates to the state convention. At the close of the Indiana convention, those policies of national import will be offered for consideration at the American Farm Bureau Federation convention in December. The 45th annual meeting of Indiana Farm Bureau will begin wifli a vesper service on Sunday evening, Dec. 10. Early Monday morning will be a series of five commodity sessions for interested producers to attend. Experts in field crops, dairy, livestock, poultry, fruit and vegetables will be on hand. • and vegetables will be on hand. The president of Indiana Farm Bureau, George Doup of Columbus, will present his annual message in the general session Monday morning. Other speakers on Monday include Lieutenant Governor Richard O. Ristine; Dr. Earl L. Butz, dean of agriculture at Purdue university; Dr. Nicholas Nyaradi, director of international studies at Bradley university; and J. C.

Consequently, they respond to certain stimuli, one of which is sunlight, which converts food and water into growth. Nature has endowed plants with the unthinking ability to turn their leaves towards maximum sunlight This process is called Heliotropism. Class dismissed for today.

So much, in fact, that when we dine out, she insists on saying Grace before dinner. I have no objection to this in the privacy of our home but I find it embarrassing in a public dining room. People do notice and I don’t think it is proper. What do you think? Mr. Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed: " There is absolutely nothing wrong or improper about saying Grace in a public dining room. I have seen it done many times. Be proud of her! She is setting a shining example. « • • Dear Amy: Could you please tell me what to do when a mother hears her children swear at other people and does not correct them? What is wrong with the child dr the mother? When I told her about it, she just turned around and said that her child never says such things. What shall I do about the child or the mother or both? A Faithful Reader Dear Reader: A mother who closes her eyes and ears to her child’s misbehavior wants to take the easy way out. She doesn’t want to know or be told by anyone. Accommodate her!

FALL FISHING GOOD Although the number of fishermen using the lakes and streams has taken its seasonal drop, those who are fishing are taking nicer catches. So, don’t put away that fishing rod just yet. Take a whirl at fall fishing. Fishing is still holding up very well in most of the lakes, streams, and reservoirs, some good catches of nice walleyes and northern pike being taken out of the Kankakee River, with several nice catches of crappies and bluegills being taken from the lakes using artificial and live bait. At Lake Freemen and Lake Shafer, catfish and and crappie fishing is reported good. a

Six From County Pledge To Social Fraternities At Indiana University

Six Kosciusko county students at Indiana university are among over 700 freshmen pledging social fraternities on the I. U. campus at Bloomington. Thirty-one national fraternities are represented at I. U. where they plan an important role in both university and community life. Fraternity houses provide living accommodations for over 1,600 men on I. U.’s campus with the direction of joint projects by groups of fraternities being handled by the Intrafraternity Council. These projects include a “Help Week” during the spring semester when pledges participate in community projects. This program was originated on the I. U. campus and adopted by fraternity groups all over the country. From Kosciusko county are: Syracuse — Dale Kinder, Phi Kappa Tau. Milford — Jan Widup, Acacia. Atwood — Dennis Fisher, pledged by Delta Chi. Warsaw — James Gast, 1502 Country Club Drive; Michael Valentine, 3 Henderson. Drive,; and John Kelly, Jr., 613 E. Ft. Wayne, all Beta Theta Pi.

Behind Farm Market Scenes

LAFAYETTE, Uncertainties over- the level of . U.S. export trade in grains—food and feed grains—continued to. dominate the farm market situation at mid-Oetober, notes M. Paul Mitchell, Purdue university agricultural economist. Futures’ markets surged upward, starting in late September, after Canada sold wheat to Russia and President Kennedy announed sale of wheat to the U. S. S. R. and Communist nations in Eastern Europe. During the first 10 days of October, nearby futures’ prices on wheat advanced 9-10 cents a bushel, corn about four cents and soybeans almost 22 cents. However, the U. S.' Department of Agriculture’s Oct. 1 crop report indicated another year of bumper production of corn and soybeans. This brought an adverse price reaction iij the market place, which may prove to be temporary. | Since the 1963 estimate of U. S. corn production, slightly above four billion bushels, is about in line with current levels of Use, Mitchell says any basic strength in the market must come from’ increased export demand. Less significant changes occurred in livestock markets during early October. Fed cattle prices strengthened moderately, then eased off slightly. Prices on choice and prime grades of steers advanced as much as $1 per cwt. but at the end of the period, prices were about 25 cents lower than at the peak. Weighty cattle continue to be discriminated against —inextreme cases as much as $3-$4 per cwt. on steers scaling upward of 1600 lb. Feeder cattle have continued their downward price trend, although reported increased buying activities indicate that prices may stabilize around recent levels, Mitchell says. Hog prices have fluctuated within rather narrow limits with a net gain of about 50c per cwt. on popular weights of barrows and gilts. Terminal markets in Eastern Corn Belt report top prices

of $16.50 for much of the twoweek period. Lamb prices have remained about steady with most sales of good and choice lambs in the sl7sl9 range, with extreme tops of $19.50 per cwt. Broiler prices have been steady to slightly weaker for the twoweek period, but some recovery has. been indicated from the low quotations earlier in the month when 12%-14 cents took most of the broilers at farm levels. Later reports indicate a gain of about one cent from this level or generally 14-15 c as the popular farm price. Egg prices also have remained basically . steady with at-the-farm levels being generally 36-37 cents for Grade A Large. Field, Forest Fire Peril High LAFAYETTE, With Indiana in the grip of record - setting dry weather, field and forest fire peril is extremely high, warns E. J. Lott, Purdue university extension forester. , Forest fire danger is approaching the “explosive” level, he adds. Lott urges these precautions, which, if taken, might help prevent a disastrous conflagration: Leave that brush burning chore for later this fall or next winter. If you must bum, be sure to clear an adequate area and watch for flying embers. Never leave the fire unattended; make certain it is completely extinguished before leaving the scene. "■ Use the ash tray in your automobile. A carelessly tossed lighted cigarette or cigar can easily start a forest or field fire. If you are in the woods or fields, crush your cigar or cigarete by grinding it
