Out They Come Our readers .will be interested to note, that with the advent of the holiday season in the background, public attention will be turned to a political year - 1964. In fact, this week this paper is carrying several announcements of candidates seeking high office. For one, state Senator D. Russell Bontrager of Elkhart is announcing his candidacy for the U. S. Senate on the Republican ticket. For another, William Fortune is announcing his candidacy for the Governor’s chair on the Democratic ticket In both these cases candidates will have to rest their case with their respect-

Printed Record Television and radio may have acooped the newspapers in announcing the tragic assassination of President John Kennedy, but the broadcast coverage in no way diminished the demand by the public for the printed record. Perhaps as never before, newspapers were more in demand and were offering a more in the way of news and chronological coverage. Special editions, booklets, and memorial tributes were offered and swept up by a print-hungry public. Newspapers have been saying for years that what people want is to be able to hold the news in their hands. To read

A report circulated widely by one of - the chemical companies I has some excellent Information concerning the value of timely weed control in crops production. The’ research was done at the University of Illinois. _ Test plots were planted to com and also to Giant Foxtail which is now one of oar most serious com and soybean problems. The corn at the same time but the weed seed was seeded at three weeks' intervals, the first at the same date a* the corn. The purpose, was to find out how much is gained by controlling weeds from the very date of planting. This is done on farms by the use of pre-emergence chemicals. When the com and foxtail got started i off together, the corn made 110 bushels and the grass was good too. It made 1,650 pounds of dry seed. When the grass seed was delayed three weeks the com increase was 6 bushels but the weed seed was reduced by 89 per cent. By delaying the weeds by six weeks the yield went up another three bushels and the weed seed infestation was reduced to 190 pounds per acre. Further retardation of Ihe grass seed did not raise the yield very muchbut it did reduce the reseeding. The story was about the same on soybeans as far as yield was concerned. There was a seven or eight bushel increase by delaying the foxtail by three weeks. After that the soybeans took care of themselves. The amount of seed produced by the grass was virtually eliminated by just, a three weeks* delay of its emergence. When the beans and grass were permitted to Mart together there was 2,400 pounds of dry Giant Foxtail seed produced.

This is a continuation of the old winter agricultural conference of many years’ standing. Many of the livestock associations meet during the week and other events include the pesticide conferende, the poultry sendeemen's clinic, and the Christmas Tree Growers Association among others Speakers win include many agricultural leaders as well as the assistant Secretary of State and also Earl Erskine of the old Brooklyn Dodgers. Programs for the full week’s conference are available at the county extension office. Copies of the 1964 Fanners Tax Guide are still available at the county extension office. We have heard some say that they really don't need them because someone else does their tax work. These guides are good to have on file for tax management reference. The ca ttie and hog prices certainly brought no happy new year cheer to livestock but it looks now like they are beginning to clear them out- The run of hogs in December was at nearly a 20-year high and there were 23,000 cattle in Chicago the second Monday in December. This burdened the weak market even more. Heavy cattle were hardest hit with the heavy cattle prices being seven or eight dollars below last year at this time. Read the CLASSIFIEDS!

We think a political year is always an exciting year, full of far-flung discussioh about oUr problems, local, state and national. This is the year of a general election, also, when both parties hold their national conventions, and when a new president will be elected. ' We can’t wait for the excitement. And we want you to join us in keeping a close watch on events as they unfold.

To re-read paragraphs in order to more fully understand their significance. To clip and save if they want to. Radio and television certainly have their places in Our society, and most literate newsmen own both. But long ago, we saw that newspapers were the major source for obtainig news and nothing has happened since to change that fact.
