A Book To Read There’s a long, long trail awinding along the banks of the Wabash and through the sycamores. Would you like to walk it again while seated right there in your favorite chair? Here’s what to do. Get yourself a copy of Irvin Leibowitz’s “My Indiana.” turn off the television set, settle back and start the book. Leibowitz is a native of New York who came to Indiana and saw the light. He became managing editor of the Indianapolis Times and a converted Hoosier. His book i$ frank and factual? It weaves politics, basketball, the Ku K-luX Klan, and all else that is strictly Hoosier into a story that will hold your interest from cover to cover. J pulls no punches as he blazes away at publishers and politieihfts. There’s a chapter on D. C. Stephenson and the Klan, Indiana’s cities and the Stßto capital. Hoosier sports, the American Leg-
Taxes And Revenues It has long been argued that a substantial tax reduction would result in a business boom and head to an increase in government revenues. In the past, this • principle found small favor in the top governmental circles. But now. according • to an extensive article in U. S. News & W orld Report, the attitude has changed. It says that the stimulation to business that will come from the new’ tax reduction bill is expected to “ . . . lead to a rise of 4.6 billion dollars in revenue for the Federal Government in the year that is to 'Start next July 1. ”

THERE IS A good chance that the germination of soybean seed may be low this yea r. It usually is in a season when the harvest conditions are dry and there is a chance of harvest damage. Tests of samples at the state laboratory have run in the low 80 s as an average with some as low as 60 per cent germination. This is mostly a mechanical dam* age. The beans were unusually dry at harvest time and the seed coats were brittle. Just a little crack in the seed coat or in the germ can cause the seed to be damaged. It would be a good idea to check this year's seed before using it THE PURDUE EGG DAY program will be held April 2. Dr. Joe Ostendorf. Milford, will be oh the morning program with a report on "Trends in Poultry Diseases". . CONTROL OF transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE), a prevalent disease of baby pigs, can best be accomplished through prevention practices. t This prevention includes: Proper disposal of dead pigs, proper isolation of all additions to the swine herd and keeping visitors, both human and animal, out of bog houses. Research at Purdue during the past 10 years has led to additional knowledge of how TGE virus enters infected swine herds. There is little evidence that swine become kmg- - term earners of the virus, but they are important spreaders while they - are ill with the disease and shortly afterward. e; Some cases, the scientists report, were found where swine apparently recently moved through safe barns or other points and

ion, the dreamers who brought socialism, if not communism, to New Harmony, and just plain “Hoosierisms.” He takes you to the campuses of most Indiana colleges, tells what makes Bill Jenner tick, and polishes it all off with “A Final Word:” “This is my Indiana, the good men and the wicked men, the good places and the bad places. It is with good and bad, the heartland of America, with its pride, its prejudices and its passions. “Here are proud people with the fire of protest in their hearts. And pleasant, easy going, confident people who are simple and shrewd — full of noisy provincial patriotism, perhaps — but ruggedlj* independent. “This is where the livin’ is easy. I love it. I never had it so good.” There are 295 pages in the book and we didn’t find a bad one in the bunch. —Wakarusa Tribune
It is certainly high time this theo.rj’ was given every chance to prove itself. But, no matter how great federal revenues become, there never was a time when it was more necessary for federal spending to be held at the lowest possible levels? , This is the only way that the ever-present threat of more inflation can be minimized. The Administration, UuS. News adds, anticipates little if any inflation in prices. W hether that optimistic outlook proves true or false will depend, to an enormous degree, on how the fiscal affairs of the government are handled.

brought the virus to the herd. The principal source of TGE virus is the stools of infected pis. This material is loaded with virus and may be carried mechanically by almost anything such as men. animals and equipment that moves between herds. As another source of infection, the scientists found that at least two animals other than swine—dogs and red foxes—can be infected and shed TGE virus. ADD FERTILIZER before you seed your new lawn, use high quality grass seed and keep the soil moist. These three simple steps will help ‘ your lawn get the best start pbs- ‘ sible. 1 Fertilizer is especially important because it helps new grass get started and grow quickly. Many new • lawns are sown on subsoil excavated * from the building site and plant food * available is often low in this sub- • soil. Add 20 pounds of fertilizer such 4 as 10-6-4 per 1,000 square feet ber fore the grass is sown. Mix it well - into the soil. 1 The surface of the soil should be i kept moist for three weeks after seeding. Moisture is necessary for J seed gemination. 1 It is fanportant to use grasses ai dapted to focal growing conditions. » Bluegrass or bluegrass mixtures are - best for sunny areas, but use special r mixtures for shady areas. r After sowing, rake the seed in f lightly, dhgg rail the lawn. Mulch if , When l yeu purchase lawn "grass f seed, let the per cent of biuegrass-be t your key to quality, the horticulturI ists say. Never buy a lawn grass

Early spring planting is best APPLY DORMANT sprays now to trees and shrubs to control scale insects and prevent some mite induced plant galls that disfigure foliage. Most trees and shrubs are susceptible to scale attack and should be examined carefully. Lilac, euonymus and dogwood are among those often injured or killed outright. Many scale insects are small, resemble the bark itself and are difficult to see. The San Jose scale, for example, is the size of a pinhead and the oyster shell scale only slightly Larger Both may be serious pests. The maple bladder gall is an example of a plant gall that can be prevented by a dormant spray. It attacks foliage of young soft maples and causes leaves to be covered with green or red “warts”. The entomologists say dormant sprays are best applied just before t buds break and leaves start to e- . mere. Use a dormant spray oil at the I rate of one quart in six gallons of water. Thorough coverage is essen- > Liquid lime-sulphur at the rate of three quarts in six gallons of water I will also do a good job. but can . stain paint and stone with which it t comes in contact. 1 1 UNEMPLOYMENT DECREASE * OVER 1963 1 - Indiana’s unemployment insurance 1 claims total decreased to 46.434 last week from 49.855 the week before J and was nearly 221 per cent under r the 58,385 level of the same week r last year. Lewis F. Nicolini. director of the Indiana Employment Secur- - ity Division, said the drop reflected . increasing activity in construction. ? mobile homes factories, lake ship--1 ping, and related industries. Also bearing on the drop were the flood i conditions in some areas and the f snow in others which kept some claimants from reaching division ofi fic<s to file ffleir claims. ►* —— ■ '——Ml ■■ , , ,

Dear Amy: If you would advise me what to do I shall always be grateful. My mother passed away recently. During her illness, I promised her that If I ever bad a girl I would name it after her. I am going to have a baby next month and would like: to know if it’s a girl, would it 'be bad luck to name her after my mother since she is dead. My husband would just like to give the baby the middle name after my mother. Would it be wrong to do that since I told my mother I would give the baby her whole name. •t ,» Expecting Dear Expecting: Don't. hesitate fte name the baby after your mother. I assure you, it io not bad luck. If you loved, r y<Mir mother, keep your promise. Good luck . • • and think pink! • • • Dear Amy: I married young and had the misfortune of marrying a man who drank. I had a child by this marriage. I divorced him and was single about a. year. Then I met this older man whom I thought would be a good father and husband. I later found out that he was a habitual liar. I divorced him because I didn’t want to subject my child to constant quarreling. Recently I met a nice man who knows I’ve been married once but doesn’t know about my son. What would you advise me to do? Shoud I tell him immediately or wait awhile. I thought I should wait till I know him better. Two Time Loser Dear Loser: When the opportunity presents itself, tell him of your son and while you’re at it, tell him of your second marriage. If M still, desires to continue your friendship, get to know him a lot better. There is one misfortune worse than being a two time loser and that’s a three time loser! * • • .UUIWi Dear Amy: Many times I hear my friends talk about being grounded for a week or so and how strict their parents are. They’ll never know how lucky they are unless they learn of my life. I am near 16 soon and no matter how much I beg, I can’t go anywhere with my girlfriends or ask them over.

Now people are saying that I had to get married. I am so ashamed to go anywhere because people in my town (a very small town) just stare at my husband, baby and me. The baby is six months old and perfectly legal. What if people still talk when she is older? What should I do? Mrs. S. S. Dear Mrs. S. S.: Do not pay attention to what people say or how much they stare. So long as you and your family know that you have not done anything unmoral or illegal, what do you care! You have noth-, ing to fear when your child grows up. No matter what is said, you can prove otherwise.

sands of southern Indiana folk, "flood” is just that kind of horrible reality. On a one-day inspection tour, looking down from a Convair on the watery sprawling Ohio all the way from Louisville to Evansville, I saw farmlands and houses inun-

' dated in place after place as we followed the windings of the riverway. In Jasper I observed flood , damage at close range, riding down the main street in a boat, from a helicopter we saw the town of Grandview on the Ohio completely awash, s a sadly forlorn sight. When our four whirlybirds landed in Rockport there was only one road still open leading out of | town, and that later was flooded out As we touched down in Winslow we saw water, water everywhere - but the drinking water supply was about to be lost by flooding of a pumping station, ironically enough. It was a .revealing trip in other ways too. At Cannelton, while the Ohio spilled over its banks for miles around, the town lay safe ’and snug behind its high levee. At partially protected Evansville, too. there was no, from itself, although a sea of overflowing river stretched southward nearly as far as the eye could see -a river 20 miles wide. At high waters sprang a leak the city water reservoir, quick and heroic volunteer action saved the dam for now. But the Corps of Engineers says it will need complete rebuilding. Others on the inspection, together with Corps members, included Wabash Valley Association Executive Secretary George Gettinger, and Red Cross representatives.

Senate we have gode to s3l million plus in fiscal 1965. But only twelve of 182 areas which could be developed for watersheds have been organized, only a dozen more planned. Some conservation experts claim that 500 watershed projects are needed. The $85,000 set aside for watershed planning next year is not enough, so I am introducing a bill asking SIOO,OOO more. We can and must stop the ravages of flood in Indiana. OVER SIX THOUSAND BACK TO WORK The Indiana State Employment Service filled 6,685 non-agriciiltural jdbs last month, Lewis F.
