A Time For Calm

Several county towns reported unusual confusion during the counting of ballots at the local election last Tuesday. There is. little or no reason for any confusion at all, ■* especially when the results Were not even close in the towns where the confusion was reported. The election board, especially the inspector, has a heavy responsibility to see that calm is maintained during the counting of the ballots. This was not the case, and the burden of doing a flawless job of votecounting becomes nerve-wracking, to say the least. When vote-counting begins, the room where the counting is going on should be

The Profit Story

One of the most persistent and dangerous of popular Illusions has to do with business profits. Great numbers of people think, they are far larger than they actually are. Now the true story is told in a booklet issued by the Department of Commerce. Here are a few salient facts: Between 1951 and 1961, compensation of employees increased 68 per cent — from SIBO billion to $302 billion. In those same years, profits increased only 12 per cent. That isn’t all. In , 1961, the corporate profit of $46, billion was subjected to a

There's No 4-H In Russia!

Agricultural production has long been one of the sorest spots in the Soviet 'onomy. Despite all manner of plans and programs, food shortages are the rule rather than the exception under communism. One solution could be to “turn a bunch of American 4-H members loose on Russia’s farms.” That novel thought comes from a speech an oil company executive made at a banquet honoring a group of 4-H leaders. He went on to say, “This would play hob with the bureaucratic confusion and lack of ' incentive in the communist system of state controlled agriculture, but it would

Making A Connection

There’s a telephone here on my desk in Washington, Every day it rings with calls from people back home in Indiana. There’s a phone at your house, too, but probably I’ve never been the voice, at the other end of the line—there are a lot of Hoosiers! A lot of you are not in South Bend and Terre Haute and Indianapolis, either, but in places like Corydon and Batesville and Rensselaer. But you read the papers—papers like the Albany Chronicle and the Pike County Dispatch and all the other 229 Indiana weeklies as well as its 89 dailies. I can’t call up each of you in your home town, much as I’d like to. There are many things we could talk about if I did, things that concern you and your family. So that’s why “Senator Hartke Speaking”. Your editor is at the switchboard; he can plug us in every week if he wants to, or just once in a while when he thinks you may want to hear what I have to say. And J? hope you’ll talk back to me - if you don’t, it’s, not a conversation. And whenever possible we want to get to know you in person. For instance, a man came in to see me in my office the other day, a truck driver. He owns his qwn rig, leases it to a trucking firm and drives it all over the country. He had just delivered a trailer to Richmond, Va., and said he “brought along my Sunday suit”, as he put it, “to do a little lobbying”. He wanted to talk about Social Security. He is past retirement age, but he can draw only $53 a month, because his net income has been so low. As an “independent contractor” he is self-employed, but to get steady work for his truck he pays all his own gas, insurance, and other expenses out of the 19c a mile the firm allows.

secured, and election officials, watchers and press representatives should maintain quiet as they go about their responsibilities, ope should be ing the room. In one such instance, where a press representative was in too much of a hurry to report results to the public, incorrect results were reported and one person was reported elected to a town board, which a final count proved otherwise. There is absolutely no excuse for this amateurish handling of such important vital statistics and it shouldn’t happen again.

$22 billion income tax, reducing it to $24 billion. And even this was not the end. The part of that $24 billion which was distributed to the owners of enterprise in the form of dividends was liable for the individual income tax, at rates ranging up to 91 per cent. It’s hard to see how’ anyone can argue that profits—which simply amount to a form of payment for the capital that provides the tools that keep America at work —are excessive. And it’s a safe bet that we’ll hear much less of that empty argument once the facts become better known.

get more beef, milk, vegetables and eggs on Russian tables .... Actually, the last thing in the world the communists would want to import would be the 4-H pattern of individual growth and development, individual incentives, and individual achievement.” The 4-H movement represents, in principle, the antithesis of the totalitarian philosophy. It is purely voluntary. It stands for individual choice, and the right of the individual to own property and to live his life as a free being who is entitled to the reward his services to society earn. There’s no room for that in a dictatorship.

Yet yoti can have unlimited earnings from rents, dividends and interest. ' This is unfair; once you have earned Social Security bene- . fits you should be entitled to them. I have twice been able to get favorable amendments, and | am now for the third time trying , to repeal ehtirely the earnings limitation for those on Social SecurIty. Like Mr. Roher, you will be welcome any time you can come in to see me. We have a guest book for you to sign, and we have special passes so that you can sit in the gallery of Congress as my guest, and maybe we can help some other way. In the meantime, I’ll be chatting with you, courtesy of your editor, as every week I “pick up my phone” to talk with you in this way.

DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent The first meeting of the new Better Farming - Better Living group will be held December 5 rather than Nov. 19. These will be day-time meetings and corn crop is riot coming out as fast as had been expected so the postponement was made to not interfere with the corn picking. Two .other meetings with the group are scheduled for Dec. 19 and the last one during the week of Jan. 6. More than half the wheat acreage in the state harvested in 1963 was of the Monon variety. This new variety that was just introduced about four years ago has caught the interest of . wheat •producers better than nearly any variety was Dual with 25 per cent the acreage to go any one variety. In 1961 the most popular wheat variety was Dual with 25 per cent of the total production. Knox held the spotlight for a number of years with 36 per cent of the acreage in 1959, with over 40 per cent in 1957 and over 54 per cent in 1955. Before that it was Vigo that was the top variety of wheat in Indiana for , about three years. It had over 50 per cent of the acreage in 1954. Prior to that time Fairfield, Fultz, and Thorne were the leading wheat varieties in use in this state. No one variety of oats had a wide margin of popularity in the state last year. Clintland 60 was most widely used but there were six different varieties each .with over 10 per cent of the acreage. The results of chemical weed control in com are not as consistent as in some years. We have been in many corn fields where there is a perfect control of grasses and weeds. Others have had trouble. This is clearly the pattern in test plots found by the experiment station personnel in about 10 test fields scattered over the state. Atrazine 80W or wettable powder applied as a spray was figured to be 85 per cent effective in weed and grass control but the

IT’S TIME TO CALL IT QUITS

Dear Amy: I have a friend who has been separated for about 4 years. Her husband sees her when he needs money and he is a bum. He brags about what a fool she is and repeatedly has asked for a divorce. She is a college graduate, holds a fine job and is looked up to and respected by all. Don’t you think that out of self-respect, if nothing more, she should grant him a divorce? She even buys clothes for him when he needs them. He’s constantly in trouble with the law and she protects him when he hollers. Her husband also dates other women making them believe he’s single and goes with some of them a long time filling their hopes with love and marriage. Os course once they find him out, their hearts are broken and they leave him. She reads your column \£p possibly she may see the harm she is doing. to Help Dear Hoping: Would, supply a ‘no-good nik’ with funds to continue his shenanigans. She is as guilty as he. It’s time she took the ‘MISS’ out of her MISx JAKE and put it back on her name! « • • Dear Amy: I am planning on being married soon. What are the best books for a Successful marriage? Fred Dear Fred: A cookbook and a checkbook! * * * Dear Amy: My husband and I have been married for three months. He is a very nice person, but he has a bad habit that annoys me no end. Whenever we discuss my parents, he refers to them as “your old lady” or “your old man.” To me, this shows a lack of good breeding. I have asked him a number of times to stop referring to them in this manner, but he hasn’t Stopped. I find it embarrassing, especially when he says it in front of other people. What would you suggest? Joan Dear Joan: This does show a lack of good breeding. Keep on reminding him range of effectiveness was from 100 per cent down to 35 per cent. When it was applied in granular it was less effective and more erratic. The two factors that determined the effectiveness of these materials were the amount and time of rainfall and the amount and strength of wind right after application. Some of the materials were scattered or piled up in such away that their best use was lost. The most effective soybean preemergence chemical was Amiben with a rating of 78 per cent. Most others rated about 50 per cent effective this year.. The 1964 winter course in agriculture will be held at Purdue Jan. 6to Feb. 28. Two general programs are offered, animal science and general agriculture. These courses are designed for young men who are interested in getting more of the scientific information on agriculture but do not desire to take a four year full college course. The short course gives them a chance to understand the sources and background of scientific information and research. ( There are -ajiumber of scholarships available. The Indiana Bankers Associatioftshas recognized for a long time the value of maintaining the flow of agricultural knowledge into their communities. They have assisted many young men to attend and have several scholarships available in Kosciusko county. The Farm Bureau has a scholarship program as does

He never gets what you would call drunk but he comes pretty close to it. I tcld him he’s got to stop. He says his drinking is for medicinal purposes and also to put some color in his face.

Indiana Below Normal Precipitation Indiana’s current drought, re- ’ lieved somewhat this week by , showers, actually represents a: . continuation of a period of below normal precipitation beginning as long ago as 1957. Lawrence A. Schaal, U. S. ’ Weather Bureau state climatolo- 1 gist at Purdue university, points 1 out that from a long range stand- 1 point all sections of Indiana have 1 received sub-normal amounts of 1 rainfall. 1 For instance, from Jan. 1, 1960, through Oct. 31 of this year, '■ northeastern Indiana was 18 inch- 1 ’ es below normal in rainfall. In the south central and northwest j sections the deficit was 14 inches. ; Other sizeable deficiencies were 12 > inches in the north 1 central, west i central, central and southwest : sections. However, the southeastern section never fell more than nine inches below normal. Average precipitation fr o m 1931 1 through 1960 was considered nor- 1 mal. Above normal precipitation has not occurred in several sections until the years 1957. 1958, and 1959 are included. These amounts above normal were 5-5 inches in southwestern Indiana, 4.6 inches in central Indiana and 2.6 inches, in west central Indiana. Still, the northern third of Indiana-remains five inches below normal in precipitation. Normal annual precipitation for northern third of Indiana is 36 to 37 inches. For central Indiana the normal is 40 inches and for the southern third of the state .43 inches. _ : . _ - ■ . j I JFuse+helk fWANTI VADS/ i • LEGAL NOTICE Purchase Os Fire Frishtins Equipment NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Township Trustee of Turkey Creek Township in Kosciusko County, Indiana will until the 25th day of November. 1963 at the hour of 7:30 o’clock P.M. accept sealed bids for the sale and purchase of a 4 wheel drive truck and equipment for use in fighting grass fires at any place they may occur within the Township and at the hour of 7:30 o'clock P.M. on said., date the Trustee will open and examine the sealed bids received and with the advice and consent of th- Advisory Board will detemine the lowest and best bid conforming to the specifications for the equipment.

Elevators Discount Striped Corn A peculiar condition of corn, causing reddish-purple stripes on the kernels, has been reported from noitheasten Indiana, northwestern Ohio and southern Michigan. One explanation offered by researchers in the U. S. Department of Agriculture is that a combination of cool nights, intense sunlight and dry’ weather caused the discoloration in the outside layers of the corn kernel. There is no apparent lowering of feed Value, I the U. S. D. A. researchers say. However, the situation is sufficiently serious that corn containing the striped kernels is be- . ing discounted by grain buyers. Dr. .William S. Farris, Purdue agricultural economist, explains that the Federal grading service has ruled that corn containing more than five per cent of the discolored kernels is classified as “mixed” corn and brings lowerprices. Some Indiana elevator s are discounting the corn one to two I cents a bushel because much of the corn from the northeastern part of the state is exported and foreign buyers may complain about the odd colored kernels. Discoloration is most pronounced on the sides of the kernels, but some is apparent on the caps. The affected kernels may be distributed throughout the ear. Dr. Eric SharvellC, Purdue extension plant pathologist, reports the condition has been found in a number of pedigrees and in hybrids of several different producers. So -far, there is no evidence that any hybrid in the area of occurrence is free from the condition.
