We're Behind Hie Eagles

The entire county is behind the Columbia City Eagles in their game in the regional tournament at Elkhart on Saturday. The Columbia City team won the sectional tourney at Warsaw Saturday night by defeating the well groomed Warsaw Tigers, but not without a real fight. Truly, coach Mark Hammel has a real

There Must Be Better Ways

News reports and current comment is that government sources contemplate urging U. S. tourists to see our country first instead of traveling to Europe this year. This is an effort on the part of the government to solve to some extent our balance -of - payments problem. There is no doubt that the problem is a very real and vital one — many more dollars have gone abroad in late years than have been received in exchange. Our gold reserves ha\e suffered accordingly. And the pending drive to encourage Americans to visit unknown comers of their own nation is understandable. But there is another problem involved. and a delicate one. The era in which isolationism could be a workable way of national life has passed. The world’s need is for an kind of internationalism

The Way To Cure Poverty

The alleviation of poverty has been a major objective since civilization began. But a strategic goal must be accomplished by a tactical plan — that is, a method of achieving the wanted end. President Johnson’s idea is to do it by heavily-increased federal spending for a multitude of piojects. Henry HazlitV one of the clearest writers on economic matters, in a Newsweek article says: “The. way to cure poverty is not through inflation, ‘share-the-wealth’ schemes, and socialism, but by precisely the opposite policies —by the adoption of a system of private property, freer trade, free markets, and free enterprise. It was largely because we adopted

A cattle feeders* tour and meeting has been scheduled for March 17. The stops to be made have not been finally determined but will be in the south part of the county this year. The group will eat at the Steer Inn at noon and will then meet with Paul Mitchell, livestock marketing specialist, to look over the cattle price situation. The price situation can stand some looking over at this time. The prices Os top quality cattle is at a seriously low point There is an over supply of well finished cattle and at the same time people are selling some of the new crop cattle to avoid taking heavy losses. This has bunched the cattle even more. It will be worthwhile to get Mr. Mitchell’s appraisal on this thing as he has had a lot of experience in about 30 years of livestock pricing studies. rvwwJwg events sponsored by Purdue and the extension service

It’s a last ditch fight to win the sectional, in true basketball parlance, but when the game is over our county gets behind the winner. And this time it’s Columbia City. We wish them luck Saturday.

in which peoples will find a common meeting ground for hopes, aspirations, differences. And this most certainly involves the maximum possible flow of strangers to our shores — and of our own people to other shores. The jet plane, with its conquest of time and distance, will be a major force in bringing about understanding and friendship between nations and peoples. The American overseas airlines, with Pan American, as the leader, have worked to this end, by reducing fares and by promoting travel, in all feasible ways. It would be a pity if this people - to - people movement were impeded. See America —by all means do so. But America is part of a vast world. That world needs to be seen too.

this system more fully than any other country that we became the most productive . . . “The way to combat the remaining pockets of poverty is to keep this system; to reduce government intervention instead of increasing it; to reduce government spending and punitive taxation—in brief, to increase the incentives to the initiative, effort, risk-taking, saving, and investment that increase employment, productivity, and real wages.” It may be that direct government tax spending is needed in a few distressed areas. But, overall, the weapons Mr. Hazlitt advocates are precisely the ones we must depend upon.

Win be held March<l7 and 18 at Purdue with outstanding Angus breeders from throughout the county scheduled to appear on the program. Prune grape vines as soon as the chance of extreme cold weather is over. Vines should be pruned every year from the time they are four years old for the best production. Here’s how: Cut back all the old canes to the main trunk of the vine. The ’ older canes will be darker In color : and heavier than last year’s i growth. Choose four or five of the • newer canes and cut them back so t that each has eight to ten buds. . Tie them to a support. 1 With this type of pruning, sum- ’ mer pruning won’t be necessary. • Sap flowing from the cut area during the spring won’t harm the 1 plant. ‘ To get grape vines started buy I one-year-old vines. New vines can be planted as soon as weather permits. Set them eight feet apart in rows which are nine or ten feet apart. Set the vines about two • inches deeper than they were In ! the nursery row. ‘ Niagara is the leading white , grape in Indiana and the Concord . is the most popular grape of all t Grapes are gaining in populars ity and are good from the stand- ' point of adaptability. They can be grown on a backyard fence and require little space. Vines will live 8 for many years and even, old neg- • lected ones can be easily rejuvenated to yield well. UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS UP Odder wmther last week hattart some construction projects and this shutdown phis a one-week layoff of 200 workers in one factory and smaller ones in several other plants caused a slight Increase in unemployment insurance claims. Lewis F. Nicollni, director of the Indiana Employment Secur* ity Division, said the state-wide total was 51.868 compared to 51, 190 the week before. A year ago, during the same week, a total of 59,895 claims were filed. Read the CLASSIFIEDS!

Dear Amy: I have played earda with • group of women for many years. My husband always drove me down and picked me up. No one ever offered me a ride. Now that Jack (my husband) has passed on, I either had to learn to drive or sell the car. So I learned to drive. My friends now take Jt for granted that I should pick them up and take them home. I have been independent all these years and prefer my independence. But when I ten them I will take turns driving with them, they think I have a lot of nerve. Am I obligated to play chauffeur just because I’m the only one who drives? Clara Dear Clara: You are not obligated to play chauffeur consistently. Your ofer to take turns’ was fair and square.

Hybrid Com Bulletin Available Corn crop profits are affected by the farmer’s choice of a hybrid, say Purdue university agronomists in Research Bulletin 772. "Performance of Commercial Dent Com Hybrids in Indiana — 19601963”. recently published by the Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station. This publication lists the yield, stand, water at harvest and broken or lodged plants—up to fouryear averages—of 123 hybrids entered by 32 commercial seed companies and of 46 hybrids from the AES. Tests were conducted at 12 Hoosier locations, and the results from each site are tabulated according to water at harvest — the driest hybrids listed first. A copy of Research Bulletin 772, “Performance of Commercial Dent Com Hybrids in Indiana**, will be sent free to Indiana residents who request it by writing the Agricultural Publications Office, AES Bldg., Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., 47907. Be sure to request the bulletin by number and title. Copies also may be obtained at county extension offices. 6% Loss In Com Due To Aphids Com leaf aphids reduced Indiana’s 1963 com crop by more than six per cent, reports Ray Everly, Purdue university research entomologist. It was the heaviest infestation in recent years, he says, rising to the forefront in a year when other com insect damage was average or lighter. A check-of 163 Indiana com fields showed more than 90 per cent were infested with aphids. More than half the plants examined had aphids on them. Bushel losses from European com borer attacks were about the same from 1962 to 1963, with slightly more than one per cent loss tn fields observed by MrtiMnologista. Areas in north, north* west, and south-southweML ana were hardest hit. By the major target for control or resistance research is becoming the com leaf aphid. The insect is believed to be canted into Indiana by wind &ad by the time farmers have noticed infestation, most of the major damage is already done.

Russell left Friday, Feb. 14, for Lackland Air Force base at San Antonia, Tex, for Ids basic training.

a legitimate or a validly signed complaint If you honestly believed that "Old Black Joe” was for real, then you won’t mind printing this letter in next week’s column (or an apology).
