WHY FATHERS GET GRAY

We’ve been watching the father •• of several area high school students and think we’ve learned why fathers get gray. The things parents have to go through are many and vaned and it’s remarkable that mothers don’t get gray too. Maybe the beauty shop operators have some secrets they aren't telling! There are the long hours of practicing for the play apd or the band concert. Who is asked to help with those hard to leant lines or listen to this or that piece of music to see it it sounds right Mom and dad, that’s who. There are debates, college entrance exams, baseball, cross country meets, basketball, track and other sports as well as pep club. Spanish chib, speech club, science club, home ec club. FFA, Fl A. GAA and all the meetings that seem to be ; oing on . ■ nstantly. All over the area mothers, fathers, sons and daughters are having disagreements <>vrr who is going to drive the iamily car tonight!

By DON FRANTZ - County Apiculture Agent THE FIRST MEETING of the) County Poultry Association for the season will be held Tuesday evening, Nov. 16, at Hom’s restaurant at War-1' saw. The group meets each month during the winter. I Joe Sicer of the Purdue poultry department will speak and will discuss the problems of handling waste materials from poultry houses and what some of the implications are. Mr. Sicer has studied some of the | problemcases, including law suits. He will also report on the trends in ! waste handling systems. Reservations may be made by calling die county extension office. . " ' • • • DAIRYMEN SAY YOU can bal-1 lance dairy herd production with a-! mount of concentrate feeding in just 30 hours. Begin by feeding an extra I pound of feed at each milking. On the third day compare the value ofl the increased milk production with ' the cost of the additional concert- j trate. li the value is less than or just <, equal to the cost of the feed, return I, to the original level. Os the value is I ’ greater than the cost, try another ■ pound until it balances out. Each * cow has her own potential and this would permit the better producers < to respond to more feed whereas the j poorer ones could not. . r ' IF YOU WANT to try something ’ different try sowing your early spring flower and vegetable gardens now. j Don Scheer. Purdue university ex- r tension horticulturist, says you can < plant a number of vegetable and j flower seeds in late fail easier than > you can in early spring. s It usually is too wet in late March or April for the best plantings of such vegetables as lettuce, radishes, a spinach and peas, and flowers like t< sweet peas, larkspur, bachelor but- c tons and California poppies. All of s these are cool season crops and need 3 . an early start. f Plant the seeds this fall just be- c fore the ground freezes, using the c some methods as you would in the I spring.- The seeds will survive the cold weather perfectly and will be ready to 8° at spring , .. Scheer says the fall planting system may sound drastic, but latest < research supports it Actually, one of j the best ways to preserve germina- , tion of many seeds is to store them in a deep freeze. ; The young plants from these cool season crops are also hardy. Lettuce. ! for example, could even be covered with a foot of snow fit the spring and not suffer damage. ANIMALS PRODUCE moisture and heat as a by-product of growth. When hogs are confined in a tightly enclosed building this moisture is trapped inside the building. ■ (1 Too much moisture in a swine building can contribute to disease problems, can require extra labor and can speed deterioration of the building.

Whitehead To Retire, Plan To Store Records

Superintendent of county schools Glenn C. Whitehead announced on Monday of this week what has been, planned for keeping the records from his office after December 31 of this year. He will retire and his office will be closed after that date because of the completion of school reorganization in the county. All records now on file in the county superintendent’s office will ae preserved and placed with various corporations according to the listings in the paragraph below. The school enumeration records which give the names and ages of children aged seven to twentyone, living in Kosciusko county prior to 1924, will be placed in the office of the Kosciusko County Board of Health, where birth records are now kept. (This enumeration record taken by the township trustee was required by law’ from 1880 to 1924. and is acceptable to the Social Security director.) The records of all students who have graduated from any high school under the administration of the Kosciusko county school system, (approximately 1t.200 graduates) will be placed with the administrative unit of tbe corporation of which that school or township has become a part. (For example. if one graduated from the Etna Green high school, his record can be found in the administrative unit of the Tri-Township school corporation, whose office is no I’’ 1 ’’ located in Etna Green.) .All pupil attendance and grade records now in the office of the county superintendent will likewise be placed in the corporation in which the school or township is now located. All teacher records now on file in the county superintendent’s office (approximately 700’ will go to file administrative unit which includes the school or township in which that teacher last taught (For example, a teacher who last taught at the Franklin school in Seward township will find his record in the Tippecanoe Valley school corporation, with the administrative office in Mentone.) All other record and reports per-

taining to school business will also be taken to the newly reorganized units. Single volume records such as minutes of the County Board of Education, minutes of the County Reorganization Committee, etc., will be stored in a locked metal cabinet in the court house, the key being left in the possession of the county auditor. According to the above plan, all vital records now on file with the county superintendent will be preserved and made available as needed.
