Take Soil Samples After Harvest A worthwhile project for Indiana farmers after they’ve completed corn harvesting is to take soil samples and send them to the state soil besting laboratory at Purdue university. Autumn, is an ideal time to take these samples, points out Eldon Hood, who has charge of the soil testing laboratory. The laboratory, which tested some 39,000 samples last year, has been returning results to farmers within a week after receiving them. Hood lists these steps: Obtain instruction sheet, sample boxes and information sheet from your county Extension office. Use a clean bucket and a sampling tool (spade or auger.) One sample should contain at least 15 cores or subsamples from from each soil type. Keep light and dark soil separate. Package samples in the pre-ad-dressed cartons with required remittance and information sheets. Soil scientists work continuously on fertility problems to determine the best use of fertilizer and lime. This information is used with the chemical soil test results to tell how to fertilize and lime your soil Hood explains. However, the responsibility for getting the soil samples to the laboratory rests with the farmer. By testing his „ soil this fall, a farmer can plan his fertilizer and lime program for the 1964 crop year. Vote Tuesday, November 5.

A Personal Message To The Voters Os Syracuse During tbs past three weeks I have personally visited every" home in Syracuse in my campaign for the office of Syracuse Town Clerk-Treasurer. I didmiss several families, because some people were not at home at the time I called. Hundreds of people have asked me questions concerning the office, what the town is doing and plans to do, and concerning the flection. I have answered these questions straight out and will answer any others given }ne before election day. 1 “» extremely proud of the job I have done the past two years as Clerk-Treasurer. And I am proud that all members of the Syracuse Town Board of Trustees have each personally told me that Y °u have done a good job.” The town board president and I have worked together with excellent results. t t 1 be , li , e^’ e t : hat the P a st two years the official board of town trustees and the clerk-treasurer have carried a bigger load: held more official meetings, more conferences, accomplished i greater thimrs for this community than any board in the history, of the town The members have dropped their individual businesses many times to ates d t ? town business. We have never failed to have a quorum at any official bifciness meeting. All of them have given me th ir time and attention when necessary. This big load I am speaking of V of course, the construction of the Syracuse Disposal Plant and the edriSeWerS ' Th ! S plant will in the future bring industry and homes to this community, anc; aid materially to its growth Without a disposal plant, and also plenty of good and cheap citv water no community can prosper. . y ■ ' • • haV l-s he cheapest water in the state. The water company is in good condition financially due to past supervision" But the water system does need some extensive work done oh it in .the matter of getting rid of the rusty water that appears in some sections at intervals. The board and the clerk-treasurer is fully aware of this. ‘ ,v , _ 1 have publicly stated that if lam elected li shall lav before the Town Board information as to how this can be remedied. The boaro alone can order this done, -But anv citizen, the Chamber of Commerce, the clerk-treasurer, even those who accuse me of personally being responsible for rusty water, could bring information to the i r p d “ d , e received cordially. It has taken me ten years to discover some of the things that need to be done. I know something of the local situation — I know our financial condition I believe the town board will give me a hearing. Is this a real bad promise for a candidate To make. A personal attack against me has been and is being carried out by one political group. This is directed by an out-of-town newspaper, and out-of-town law and financial firm—which put the pressure on to get a candidate (any candidate i and are directing the ! house-to-house campaign here against me not "for” anyone '’Thev do not care who is elected just so it is not Cox — they do not care I who runs the office just so it is not Cox. r * I f ,? el that 1 must answer there personal attacks against me. Dcannot allow these people' to go house-to-house, making statements about me that are wrong. • One of their contentions is‘that they are going to take the authority of the Clerk-Treasurer away and give it r back to the Board _ where it belongs. The State of Indiana set up- the authority of each, and these people are not going to change anything I have never heard the first word from the official board that I have ever exceeded my authority. Time after time, (hundreds of times) the board and the Board- President have thrust- decisions and conferences, and town business on me. Board members have'-not and will not in the future want to interview salesmen, contractors, receive complaints go to see what is wrong. They want a clerk«treasurer who is paid to do this. ” ' 1

I Another "sore spot” which they are working on is the pennlt\ charge in the sanitation unit, made when a customer fails to pay his sewer charge on time. The books of the sanitation department of the Town Clerk-Treasurer are set to PREVENT a town clerk from having the authority to make a decision. A representative of the State, Board of Accounts says: "When the penalty charge is due, your books show it; You collect it. or you pay it' yourself.” Any citizen who gives this a little thought can readily see' what a mess the town would be in if there was NO PENALTY on this, and if the clerk-treasurer had the authority to knock it off at will. The town ordinance was created by the Town Board — I had no part in it The Clerk-Treasurer must carry out the law. Because I do carry out thelaw, they seek to penalize me. They are attacking me personally for & news picture which shows me climbing a water tower to make an inspection I ask you when you personally pay out a total of $3,950.00 don’t you want to inspect the job ? The town clerk-treasurer puts, HIS name on the check — he is the only one responsible. The Board orders the work done — the town clerk-treasurer must see that the town gets its money’s worth. Big Joke ? These political workers who are campaigning against me say that I-am trying to take Over the job of the street, water and sanitation superintendent. Well, Mr. Hagerdon and I have had perhaps a thousand consultations on various problems ——■ every day of the world. I have not heard him complaining. I have perhaps given a little assistance. On the other hand these political workers are also saying that this rusty water is all my fault. I should have cleared it up before now. They say I take too much authority — I do too much work on the supervision of streets, water and sewers. I should allow people to pay sewer charges late — it is my fault the leaves, or the garbage are not picked up. They now are going to have an investigation by their group and see why the clerk-treasurer has been al?le to give the town board a budget (passed unanimously) that will give Syracuse a 22 cent tax reduction next year. They claim it was all their work anyway. The political workers running the campaign against me, make some other claims. My wife and I have for 15 years kept the books, made the actual water bills out, made the collections for the Syracuse Water Company, under direction of the late Ernest Buchholz. I now have ALL the town books in my possession. AN EXTREMELY SMALL part of the book work over the past years in these books is in hand writing other than the late Mr. Buchholz. No one else did his work. Any statement to the contrary is pure falsification. If you have the money to hire workers and keep a yearround organization you can do wonders. This cor&bination of an out-of-town newspaper, lawyer and banker do NOT want me to be Clerk-Treasurer because they cannot CONTROL me. It is that simple. These same people are trying to control the election at Warsaw and at Pierceton. To “control” means that you control the news, the law work and the money. I am well aware that many people laugh at these charges. They laugh at the control of the news, perhaps think that the law angle' is not important. How about the $5,300.00 I turned in to the town treasury in 1962, interest money earned with excess funds.. Can you laugh at that? These political workers are now attacking Harry Nicolai who has sought to aid me. They say he is getting paid off. This is, of course, saying that the present board — and a future board is crooked. They neglect to say that for the past 10, years he served the town faithfully at a salary of $l5O per year. Each and every year he served he DONATED in services and materials from |s2oo to S3OO annually. He did this work FREE for the town, because he could not a . s . a . board member be paid for it. On the record, what civic responsibilities have these people performed that entitles them to criticize ? This is “POLITICS” as played and directed from out-of-town. No one in Syracuse is so naive as to believe otherwise. Confusion — makes trouble between friends—hire workers to carry your stories. What do these people expect to get out of it ? There' are big stakes involved. . No one has donated me one cent—l have had a few offers. I am asking the people of Syracuse to elect me on my record, and I have personally made a house-to-house campaign. I have no paid workers. I expect to be available personally when any citizen wants a public official — in a convenient uptown office, large enough to hold the desks and equipment of the clerk-treasurer, and I expect to furnish this space free as I have been doing in the past. I have one assistant clerk who works from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. five days a week (hours set by the town board) collecting the more than 700 sewer accounts monthly which come into the office The total paid for this assistant clerk in 1962 was $935, all of which was approved by the town board. I have been at my office during mornings and do and will take any sewer accounts which come into my office. I am also there Saturday mornings and some Saturday afternoons. I have enjoyed the personal campaigning immensely. Outside of two places, I have been received in the most friendly manner. In walking every street and sidewalk of the town you see-things you never noticed in riding by in a car. Some beautiful homes and yards Parkway Drive, those near the high school ball diamond, Medusa street,) on Pittsburg and Baltimore streets, on north Harrison and north Huntington streets, have all shown great progress. People want better streets, curbs and gutters, lights, better storm sewers — and better water. They appreciate the lower tax rate this year and that for 1964. I just had a real good time in calling on the citizens — and hearing them voice their thoughts. If more of these people would attend town board meetings, we would have a better town. 1 have lived in this town since 1939. I have tried to help where I can in civic affairs. You people know whether or not I will do as I say I will. I just want to thank the people of Syracuse for giving me such a nice reception. In my job as a printer, I do have enough time and the work is such that I can stop almost any time needed for town business — any day. No one has ever come into my office who did not get a courteous and instant hearing. In every case these requests or suggestions have been transmitted to the Town Board Not every request was granted but on the whole I know that many good thmgs resulted. * I am extremely proud and grateful that the officers of the Syracuse Republican organization and those of the Democratic organization have treated me in a most courteous and fair manner. The Regular members of these parties recognize that towns are not built on political maneuvering,” and that the days and years after election day bring just hard work and a great deal of service to those elected Thank you all for your fairness to me.
