TELEPHONES AND MANNERS

The telephone company publishes a page on how to use the dial telephone just prior to each town’s listing in the phone book. On this page it says to listen first before dialing to see if there is anyone using the line. If you do not hear a conversation or the dial tone the telephone book says to ask if the line is being Used and gives other information for the use of a party line. Either some people in today’s world can’t read, are too lazy to re;xl the information in the telephone book of are so inconsiderate <>f others that they dial while other people are talking or permit their children to play with their telephone while other persicms are talking. To this we say the telephone isn’t a toy and children, no matter what age.

FARM f NOTESHSSte

By DON FRANTZ County Agrlodtare Agent THE CHECKING OF five acre com project plots is underway. This . project of members of the Indiana Com Growers Association is the oldest continuous program of its kind in the state. Originally it was a contest but we do not" use it that way m' this county. It is intended to be a method by which a corn grower can i evaluate his methods tfhd check his results. T!)e Indiana com average tins year is estimated at a fantastic 96 bushel per acre average. This is 24 bushels over the 1964 crop and nine bushels above the 1963 record. My results in the five acre checks indicate. that we are not that much . better than last year. We have good yields but they dp not look to be onefourth better than last year. Other parts of the state apparently do. The total state yield is figured to be nearly 464 millioa bushels, mare than a third above average. There, has been a big increase in storage ami drying facilities on larms in the county end we notice that much of the new equipment is mantrfactured here in the county, particularly Brock’s at Milford. As the production per farm gets larger it has become necessary to provide drying and storage at home. A NEW better farming-better living group will be started in January. This is a program in farm management under the direction of John Couey. district extension agent The work will consist of a series of; three meetings in which such things! as cropping system principles, live-1 stock programs, building requirements and capital requirements will, be discussed. Following this, Mr. Couey will work individually with the families enrolled in assisting to budget their labor; capital, feed, equipment and other items into the: crops and livestock programs they : wish to use. 11 We cannot enroll very many families in any one year.but we can add some right now. This is an excellent t opportunity for a young farm family < to study their own business and their 1 own opportunities, ft will help them

He is meeting youngsters at the airports. giving them a talk on the great need for UNICEF funds, then letting them conduct their local campaigns. UNICEF buys such things as milk, medicines food, and distributes them On the basis of need — not skin color or religion. It is one of the truly great United Nations efforts, but so .few know what good it really does. So, if you’re asked to help in a UNICEF drive, you can do so with a good conscience that you are helping some needy youngster.

after about four minutes. The youths discovered both the booster and capsule for use in future missions. And already the boys report raising another mousetronaut named Scott. It sounds like youngsters playing games. But it is more than that. These boys spent S4OO of their own money to build and fire their first rocket, which reflects the ingenuity and adventuresome spirit of youth — and mousetronaut Al.

shouldn’t be allowed to play with it. Another place where manners and telephones go together is when calling an office. So many persons call and ask for the boss. When told that he isn’t in and ask if there is a message the caller hangs up. This is confusing for the secretary and often causes more work for everyone. Most secretaries have more to do than answer a telephone and some persons who do not get the boss the first time will call back several times during an afternoon. If only a message had been left or the secretary was allowed to have a minute or two she could have informed the person calling that the boss was here or there and wasn’t expected back until late. And so we say — Please use your manners when using the telephone. »

SHRUBS FOR BACK YARDS LAFAYETTE — Deciduous shrubs, which lose their leaves in winter, can offer protection for your back yard as well as yearround beauty. Don Scheer, Purdue university ?xtension horticulturist, explains that a shrub border gives a seclud-I ed effect while creating an outdoor | living area. Your back yard will look better I

in all seasons if you chose shrub v arieties carefully. Burning Bush, according to Scheer, provides bright- red foliage in the fall, winglice twigs in winter and dark green foliage during spring and summer. Plant deciduous shrubs immediately after the leaves fall. Dig a hole twice the width and at least six inches deeper than the plant's root system. Space large shrubs fire to eight feet apart and small ones, three to four feet apart. Mix three parts topsoil with one part peat moss and add six inches of this to the bottom of the hole. Set the shrub and fill in around it with the topsoil-peat moss mixture. Hood this with water to settle the soil, instead of packing it. It Pays To Advertise

HOW TO CONTROL SPIDERS - LAFAYETTE — Ordinary housecleaning with a cloth or dust mop cannot rid your home of spiders. In addition to vacuuming spider ■ webs or brushing them down and . burning them, you may need to' spray for more severe infestations. A 2 per cent chlordane spray is the most effective material for controlling spiders around the home. You may apply a ready-to-use oilbase spray, but follow these two precautions. Do not apply oil-base. sprays on asphalt tile, and do not j spray electrical equipment. Spider infestations in the base-1 ment. unexcavated areas beneath the house, or outside the house require additional .control measures. Purdue university’ extension entomologists describe such techniques in a recent publication. Titled “How to Control Spiders.” E-72. the publication is free to Indiana residents. You may obtain one at your county extension office, ' or by writing a postcard to the ' AES Building, Purdue University, Lafayette. Ind. 47907.
