FARM NOTESIiGBte

By DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent The engineers and 'tvonomi<s generally conclude that unless a fanner has 1<»a<00 bushels of com he cannot afford to own harvesting equipment. At a production level below this the cost of ownership about equals the cost of custom Work plus risk. The Hex: ' decision point is h<»w this is not an easy question because it usually figures, that about ail he can do-on his investment is provide • breaks rather than mak- a- profit each year. Shelled com storage costs «!, corn from l*»’to T:.< normal average price from November toJuly.m the corn surplus areas is 17 cents. Ift com def*- ■ tires indicate tiiat the price rise is about equal to the cost of storage but this isn't the whole story. The availability of storage does provide an alternative that does neg exist otherwise You cannot be. forced to sell or. a distressed market.' „ > ) A:*. •1t..-.- z'.g thought is,Siow much volume in harvesting and drying equipment is needed for my sized crop. The normal harvest season in Indiana for com is six weeks This is fix' period between the time that com matures and the weather and soil conditions dp not permit good field work. Some of these day’s are Sundays and‘some’are rainy days. There is also other work to be done and it gets down to* about 15 -days of harvesting on the average farm. Tin's would come out that the average conditions would permit a volume of 22,500 bushefs-on strictly a grain farm and 15,000 bushels on a livestock farm that" one man could handle. The drying tApiipment would have to be of a size to handle this if it were not to cause a bottle-neck in the operations.

He expressed complete sympathy and understanding to those who saw their lifetime’s savings wiped out in minutes. He told the women manning the relief kitchen, as he drank a cup of their >ffee, “It’s a mighty Christian thing you’re doing here.” President Johnson appeared accessible. neighborly, and left the impression tl at even though he carries the wei many problems, he still was moved as were we all by what we saw in the Dunlap area. President Johnson gave the awestricken Dunlap people the lift they need at this- very time.

A friend is one who gives a helping • hand when it is needed, and on this.basis. o|ur libraries hold friends of incomparable . worth. They wait to lend us the wisdom of the ancient philosophers that we may applj it with proper consideration in our own lives. They can unfold to us the healing. arts of modern medicine; the wonders of space; the esoteric realms of physics, .electronics, and mathematics. And on problems of everyday life, they have useful and good advice to give us on practically any situation that we face. These friends are 'the books on our library shelves.

I THREW THE "BOOK” AT HER

Dear Amy: I My husband operates a small business in a small community a few miles from where we live. I know vejy few of the people personally. Yet. I am asked to some kind of shower or housewarming once or twice a month.. Amy. we have a houseful of kids in school, which costs a bunch. We have our own friends who have babies, younguris, I weddings and housewarmin.*. True, these people are customers. but I sometimes wonder if they send invitations to Mai! : Order Houses, Doctors, Dentists, Grocers, Mechanics, Lawyers, ; Florists, M er c a n t i 1 e Stores, Photographers, Appliance Repairmen. Plumbers. Variety Stores. Car Dealers, Service Sta-. tions. Insurance Companies, Carpet Cleaners, Piano Tuners, Servants, maybe even Trash . Our daughter was given a we|t . ding shower and two out of the whole town .came or sent gifts. I And believe me, they were ALL ■invited. . I I've got to close this to dress my baby and myself and go out ■ in the cold to buy a wedding gift for a girl I’ve never even seen. | And believe me, if I could as-j ford it. every- gift, would be a book written by Amy Vanderbilt or Emily Post! Resentful Dear Resentful: It is not necessery for you to It is not necessary for you to “special occasions’’ with a gift. A card or note of congratulations would suffice . . . under the circumstances. Speaking of Miss Vanderbilt’s book, all things being equal, you should get a copy for yourself. When it came time to toot your own horn, you were as socially incorrect as your town folk. Dear Amy: I have a simple problem but I’m at my wit's end trying to solve it. I have a little boy for a neighbor (eight years old) whom I shall call Jimmy. He’s a spoiled, self-centered, mean only child of a prominent business man (who’s well to do). Jimmy comes over every single day to play with my four year old boy, Craig. "He gets on my nerves until I could just scream. Among other things,

He has broken practically'all of my children’s toys and leaves my house a total wreck. And the worst part of it is that my Little boy idolizes him. What can I do? It’s getting so I can't be half way decent to . him. I just grit my teeth and bear- him. Sign me .. . Desperate Dear Desperate: Don’t indulge your son’s likes at your own apparent hysteria. Do speak to the boy’s mother about her son’s behavior. Until he learns to behave as a guest in your home, do not permit him your son’s friendship or your hospitality. >• • e Dear Amy: I will certainly appreciate it very much if you could help me by putting this in your column. We are people who mind our own business and do' not permit our animals to annoy our neighbors in any way. We made a hole in our cellar door so our two cats can come into the warm cellar. They sleep on a warm couch, and I feed them at the top of the ■ landing. Our (on each side of us) have cats also. Since we are in the middle, we can’t keep them out of here. They follow our cats in and eat and sleep here. If they were fed pr perly, we would not be so annoyed and upset all the time. We don’t want to hurt them as we are very good people and humane fo' animals. But’we can’t keep getting excised mor can we afford the cost. We hope you can understand our problem’and that you will inform these people to feed their cats . . . and then they will stay where they belong. Mrs. J. B. (New Jersey) Dear Mrs. J. B.: I pass.

Hoosier Day By FRANK A. WHITE AU those who believe as I do, that the heart of oir system of government is two strong political parties are interested in how die G.0.P,. is getting on. . Here is a closeup of the -Republican party that is taking on new life, after the most stunning defeat Nov. 3, in decades. . - A key figure in the Indiana G.0.P.,' is state chairman .Robert N. Stewart. a tremendous hunk of a man. He let newsmen know a state chairman must always be ready to ..change jobs. However he has no intent of resigning before expiration pf his term. May of 1966. Marion county chairman H. Dale Brown, himself onetime state chairman, failed to get Stewart involved in an interparty, fight in his district. Hie movement to replace Stewart with-Robert Gates, of Columbia .City, son of former Governor Ralph F- Gates, fizzled. Robert ■ Gates did, not come to the 22 member State Committee meeting,' reporting he liad influenza. Hence, Stewart is firmly in the saddle as Shite Chairman, and overall quite popular. Personally, he does not -hesitate to say that he believes Richard N. Nixon to be the strongest Presidential potential. He recognizes that there are other strong Republicans on the national scene, such as George Romney, Governor of Michigan. Biggest, item of news, is that the .

’ gainst the reapportionment by the 1965 legislature. William D. Ruckdshaus. Indianapolis attorney, former state senator, has been retained by the State Committee to prepare the case. The G.O.P. charges the Democratic controlled legislature tried to gerrymander the party out of existence. This, the first of two possible suits, will first be filed in state courts, arid likely transferred to Federal courts. The State G.O.P. emerged from the disastrous 1964 election- debt free. This is in contrast to the $300,000 debt that burdened the party in the Nixon-Parker 1960 campaign. Stewart announced that U. S. i Senator George Murphy (R-Calif) will be principal speaker for a SIOO ' per couple fund raising dinner May 21 in the Manufacturers Building, State Fairground.. The state party is building up its war chest by this event. ■ Here are some of the views retained by State Chairman Stewart. He believes the Republicans will have to win 20 to 25 pjer cent of the Negro vote to win fujture elections. He does not consider Indiana a Republican state, as is commonly believed. To win, the G.O.P. must get a sizeable proportion of the big city vote. The No 1 objective of the Republican party, both on the state

and national levels must be to achieve unity, Stewart holds. Hefeels that Negroes grossly misunderstood Barry Goldwater. - Tire right-to-work law was an Albatross around the neck of the Republican party, Stewart holds. It caused a lot of trouble. Personally I would not wish so see it reenacted. Stewart holds: The Republican party cannot bun- its head like an ostrich in the sand and ignore problems such as education, methal health, highway const ruction and other fields of endeavor. Tiie party must be dynamic in these fields. . The party will remain conservative. Many factors other, than . conservatism contributed to its Nov. 3 defeat. - . The failure of Democrats to deliver on their 1964 campaign promises is- the major campaign issue for the Republicans. The Democrats said ; they would repeal the sales tax, and promised a sure-fire property tax relief. There are scores of .broken promises made by Democrats. Stewart feels that Goldwater has eliminated ’ ’himself from the 1963 presidential election, by his .ownChoice. Many strong. Republicans such as Bob Gates and Dick Ellis, of Kokomo, are gubernatorial or senatorial potentials. It is too early to begin to list potential candidates. A rebuild program -will be formulated first. ’
