’WISHING WON'T MAKE IT TRUE’

"Wishing won’t make it true,” are the first words in a letter mailed this year by Mrs. Royal R. Neff, president of the Kosciusko County Tuberculosis Association, Inc. In its 59th annual Christmas seal campaign the association does much towards

THE MAIL MESS The slow delivery of rural mail came in for a scolding in an editorial in the Monday, Nov. 22, issue of The Wall Street Journal. The article, calk'd ‘‘Mail Mess.” was written by Steven M. Lovelady and referred to mail moving from Rochester to Mentone. . Listen To what it states: “It travels 190 miles in four different directions, none of them northeast, thats how. Mentone-lKHind mail goes first to Kokomo, 50 miles south. There it’s sorted from the flood of mail that pours into Kokomo from 87 towns in the area. Next, it’s trucked 80 miles north to South Bend, bypassing both Rochester and Mentone on the way. From South Bend, it goes 60 miles southeast to Warsaw and, finally, southwest to Mentone, where it’s delivered, as much as four days after leaving Rochester.” . The article blames the flood of mail in sectional centers. The article says, further:

which left him with a serious back injury. When one as active as Kip Sullivan in local affairs is sidelined, it’s easy for us to be so busy with our own little world that we forget their whereabouts, their condition, what they have meant to our community life. Let’s don’t let that happen with Kip Sullivan.

“Perhaps hardest hit by slow mail deliveries are Indiana’s 291 small local newspapers — all of the state’s weeklies and those dailies with less than 10,000 circulation. Most of them are-delivered by mail to subscribers, many of whom live on farms and in nearby towns. “Typical is Jack K. Overmyer, editor of this town’s daily Rochester Sentinel, a thriving enterprise with a circulation of 1,239. As Mr. Overmyer sits in his office looking out on the century-old Rochester courthouse square, he tells an inquirer that slow mail service can- kill a small newspaj>er. When we get to subscribers two or three days late, we stand a good chance of losing . those subscribers and then advertisers who aim ads at those subscribers. By taking that roundabout route, the post office winds up delivering Thursday’s paper on Monday. Who wants Thursday’s news on Monday? What advertiser wants his Thursday sale ads read by customers the next Monday?”

demonstration clubs will meet with Mrs. Weinhold at Rdbie’s Party Home at Milford on December 3 to begin organizational plans for the coming year’s activities- • • • THE SOYBEAN CROP apparently did not turn out as well as was expected Weeds, weather, diseases and in some cases fertility took its toll of the crop and instead of an excellent crop we had an average one Soybeans are still the orphan crop on some corn belt farms. We don’t do as much to get a good crop as we do for com or even wheat. Here is a penial check list to think about if your soybean yield did not meet your expectaUocks What about the fertiliy and lime level? Soybeans are very heavy feeders on potash but cannot feed as effectively on row applications as does the corn plant. This means that the potash level should be high

and bulk applications are the preferred way to it. Soybeans are a legume and require a soil that is neutral. A lack of lime may limit your yield and there is no sure way to know this other than to test the soil. We may also still be using some obsolite seed Great improvements were made in disease resistance in the past three or four years. Good seed is pretty cheap when compared to all other costs and it will pay to use the new varieties especially in yeans of heavy disease infestations. We can also pick up four or five bushels per acre, by going to narrow rows of possibly 20 to 30 indies in width. The number of seeds per foot of row ought to be cut down a little m the narrower widths. Some soybean land may be worked too much and become too compacted. Minimum tillage with the sod remaining loose between the rows will permit water to penetrate rather than runoff in beamier soils. Perhaps the biggest problem in some soybean fields is in weed control The battle against weeds has to be decided early. The late growing weeds are a nuisance at harvest time but those that grow in the first two to three weeks do the damage. Chemicals are of value and early use of the rotary hoe can do wonders. An increase of five bushels per acre, county average, on soybeans could raise our farm income over a half million dollars a year.

by GC.-TEX* FAWCETT? /C FCT CABE CENTER Good Grooming Although cats are fastidious animals and groom themselves ■with, their tongues, they still require daily brushing and combing. A mere five-minutes grooming each day will assure a sleek, handsome coat, prevent shedding and help prevent hair balls. If loose hair is not removed, the cat ■will swallow it and occasionally it may form hair balls in his stomach and digestive tract. Begin grooming your cat when he is a kitten, and he will become accustomed to the daily routine. Place the cat on your lap, or if you find it easier, place him on a table or floor where he can move around as he is brushed. First brush against the grain of his fur to catch loose hair. There are some cats with “sensitive skins’* who find brushing against the grain of the fur highly irritating. If your cat is one of these, brush, with the grain .only. Then brush downwards in short strokes. Occasionally pull loose fur from the brush and dispose of it where the cat cannot get to it. Brush the entire body until all loose hair is removed. Use rubber or plastic combs for short hairs. Cats with long hairs require a strong metal comb to prevent or unsnarl tangles. But, as the experts at the Purina Pet Care Center know, cats •who are groomed daily and fed a well-balanced diet are seldom bothered by fur balls. Remember, it just takes a little time to give your cat the proper care. f Z*"? k «•*» KITTY I ) AMO CLAAWFt.O. i
