That ’Extra Effort’ It’s great what a little “extra effort” will do. “Extra. Effort” was the theme used by Larry Castaldi. campaign chairman of this year’s Kosciusko county United Fund drive. ' He called it the “Year For The Extra Effort” and made it a personal point of reaching the goal of the United Fund for

Lindsay And 1968 New Yorkers sometimes tend to exaggerate the importance of New York politics, and it may be that Republicans who are talking about John Lindsay as a Presidential nominee in 1968 are overoptimistic. On the other hand, there, is little doubt the handsome mayor of the nation’s largest city has demonstrated political appeal to groups and. blocs the Democrats usually win. This is the key political factor in the Lindsay victory, not that he is mayor of the nation’s, largest city. As mayor, he faces <j vast majority opposition on the city council, and will be limited in what he can accomplish. Nevertheless, in winning the votes Os New Yorkers, who are largely minority

THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

It seems that there is nothing one can say of Christmas and its coming that has not been said and with the utmost eloquence. That is as it should be. For, over thje centuries, the great figures of religion, art, music and literature have paid Christmas their devoted tributes. Old as the observance is, it is always new. And it always will be, so long as the Christian ideal and the Christian tradition remain. It is a time of feasting and the giving of gifts. But more than that, for all who profess Christianity, it is a time for reflection and for profound consideration of spiritual things. We live in a troubled a g e — a n age of wars, of bitter jealousies and enmities, of restless and often violent

By DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent THE 1966 INDIANA Farm Account Books are now available at the county extension office. There are two types, one the grey backed book is very popular because of the entries appearing in the same order as I they do on 1040 F tax forms. Die other yellow-covered book is preferred by those who wish to analyze i their business more completely. It also has double entries for tenant and landlord operations. We also have Field Record books that are a permanent type record of yields, fertilizer applied, soil test and rotation. These are arranged so that the vital information con-' cerning each field can be very easily entered. I would like to see more of these in use as they permit a I good, sample method of recording the things that are very easily for gotten. | COPIES OF THE summary of the | Indiana Drainage Laws are available | now. This includes an explanation ■ of the new drainage code that goes into effect January 1. We also have a few copies of a good publication written by John Mentzer, agricultural engineer, on the subject of ventilating swine buildings. • • • OVER THE THREE year period of 1962-34 it was found that corn planted from May 7 to 9 out-yielded that which was planted May 18 to 22 by an even 20 bushels per acre. The 1965 figures will probably show even more of a spread. We have tried to reason out why this should happen. One reason would be that longer growing season hybrids can be used. This woula do two things, get more yield due to more time and even more important, get some additional leaf blight resistance. Another advantage would be in gaining some time on the late drought periods although this had no bearing on 1965. There could be some advantages in timing and its effect on diseases, particularly stalk rot The timing factor would probably be most signiflcant in two other factors, the

EDITORIALS

heat effect on pollinating and the timing on aphids. Earlier com has a little more chance of being ahead of the extreme heat and hot winds that can seriously damage pollen. It i also has a chance to be ahead of a severe aphid infestation. Aphids actually destroy pollen. There are probably other factors too that make such a variation in J yields. The fields that are drained best would naturally be planted first. These would yield best if planted the same day but the data is too significant to discount. On the averI age of the past three years, everyday delayed after May 9 has reduced yield two bushels per acre. | . ———— • POINTERS FOR PACKING COOKIES LAFAYETTE — Favorites for ’ gifts as well as lunch boxes, bar ■or firm cookies are good travelers.J Select bar and firm cookies that are not too brittle, not too rich, I not too soft, advises Marcde Allen, Purdue university food specialist. > When you’re packing cookies, wrap individual ones singly or in i pairs, back -to back. Use a moisi ture vapor proof wrap, such as aluminum foil or saran. for cookies ■ that need to soften. You can use waxed paper for other types of cookies. If you pack more than one I layer in a box, place waxed paper or foil between layers. If you are mailing cookies, choose a sturdy box for packing and line it well with aluminum foil or waxed paper. Pack cut or uncut bar cookies in a box the same she as the pan in which they were baked. You can use crumpled paper, popcorn, dry cereal or unshelled peanuts as pecking material to help cushion the shocks of handling in transport. Overwrap the box carefully with corrugated cardboard if possible, v several thicknesses of brown paper. Mark “fragile” and “perishable" on the outside wrapper. If you’re buying a plastic Christmas tree with a built-in lighting system, look for the Underwriters’ laboratories seal of approval, advise Purdue university safety specialists.

groups and immigrants, or sons and daughters of immigrants, the G. 0. P. Protestant has done what no other of his pedigree has been able to do in years. He has cut into the strength of the Democrats, and won where the Democrats are supposed to be strongest, and this is his national political appeal. Lindsay must be considered a major figure in G. O. P. national politics in the future. He has served in Congress and this adds to his national appeal. He has the charm and elegance of the late President Kennedy, and after losing a President who created such a movie-star image, the nation could possibly feel a nostalgic urge to return to that atmosphere.

stirrings among peoples. It is an age in which discouragement and depression come easily. But the meaning of Christmas can give the perspective we sorely need. We can believe that the problems of this age will somehow, sometime, pass—while the ideals that Christmas stands for are eternal. Christmas is, above all. for children. Over the centuries, their eyes have sparkled as they gazed upon the tree, and found their gifts, and looked with awe upon the image of the Christ Child. Let us hope everv child, wherever he may be, shares in the glories of this coming Christmas. And let us pray that he will live to know a happy and truly peaceful world.

a to w nm fiFmm nni a a mom mcm mm Bayh Proposes LBJ Visit to Latin America

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 8 — Senator Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) proposed here today that President Johnson make a personal tour of Latin America in about a year. The Indiana Senator, recently returned from a three-week tour of four Latin American nations, said that “many preparations must be made before such a visit would be feasible. opinion, it would take about a year to lay the groundwork.” Speaking to a group of business and professional men in suburban Scottsdale, Bayh said ‘la personal visit by the President would be of inestimable value in assuring our Latin American neighbors that the United States is no less committed today to the Alliance for Progress and the social reform implicit in the Alliance than we were tw#. years ago.” Bayh said most Latin American leaders to whom he has talked "be-lieve-despite the facts, despite the evidence of their own eyes—that the United States is not truly committed to social reform and democratic development in Latin America.” He said he is “deeply concerned with what appears to be a short-circuit in our communications with Latin America.” Nothing less than a personal visit by the President, Bayh said, “would serve to reassure Latin Americans of our dedication to the development and unity of the hemisphere, and to; close this existing communications ' gap. Bayh suggested the following steps leading to a Latin American tour by the President: 1. A “major, dramatic pronouncement by the President re-empha-sizing our commitment in South America.” Bayh suggested the pronouncement might concentrate on the area of education, such as the Indiana Senator’s proposed “Operation THINK” — Total Hemispheric

EVERGREEN CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS LAFAYETTE — Greenery, which you can trim from your own shrubs or buy, can help brighten up your home for Christmas. Hemlock, pine, spruce, fir and yew are best to use. Branches can be used to make wreathe, swags — which are nothing more than artistic bunches of branches — and table arrangements. If you gather the branches yourself, be sure the temperature is above 40 degrees or the branches will be too brittle. Purdue university horticulturists suggest using wreaths on doors, windows, around the base of table lamps, punch bowls, candy and nut dishes or as table centerpieces. Swags lode good on doors, windows, mantles or tables, or remove a picture from the wall and hang a swag in. its place for the holidays. These tips and additional details on how to make decorations from branches are included in a publication, “Evergreen Christmas Decorations,’’ HO-22. Single copies are free to Indiana residents by writing to Agricultural Publications Office, AES Bthlding, I Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., 47907, or by contacting their county extension office. Be sure to ask for the publication by name and number. firel*rec: autions AT CHRISTMAS LAFAYETTE — Make fire safety precautions a part of your Christmas decorating plan, urges Dick I Willsey, Purdue university safety specialist. Fires are numerous during the holidays — partly because of the Christmas tree, decorations and extra paper and Etter in the house. Think about the fire hazards in your home and plan to cut them to a minimum. Chose a fresh Christmas tree and keep it well watered all during i the season. Do not set the tree near a raditor, hot air register or fireplace. Do not put it in a trafIfic pattern where it could block an I exit from the room. Keep everypossible exit open — do not block doors and windows with decora-1 tions. . If you are buying a plastic tree, choose one made of slow burning materials. If it has a built-in lighting system, it should carry the Underwriters’ Laboratories approval. Examine lighting strings and repair frayed wires, loose connections and broken sockets, or better yet. replace damaged equipment. material wherever possible. Do not use candies, on or near the tree or in polystyrene foam candle holders. |

Investment in Knowledge — in which U. S. aid to Latin America would be extended in teacher education, and the like. He said this program could be partially financed by re-directing military aid to Latin America “to these more constructive/and productive pursuits.” 2. The President should, over a period of months, invite Latin American heads of state to visit the United States. ...... 3. A visit to Latin America by Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey who. Bayh said, “is both well known and well liked in Latin America.” Bayh said Latin America—because of its proximity, its historic ties to the U. S., its rapid growth rate, its richness in natural resources, its potential as a market for U. S. goods —“is, without question, the most important part of the world as far as U.S. foreign policy is concerned.” He said “the almost unbelievable poverty which infects the land makes it vulnerable to the potential establishment of governments hostile to file United States—possible Communist in nature.” Bayh said “poverty. hunger and disease are Communism’s greatest allies in Latin America. Hie only way to defeat these traditional enemies of mankind is to root them out with the light of knowledge.” Bayh said that “any expenditure for U.S. teachers, technologists, agricultural experts and others to teach Latin Americans would be a worth--while investment. For, before too long, we would have a corps of Latins trained to teach their own i countrymen. and the U.S. could look forward to the day when its own exjperts could, return home. Only in this way—by helping people to help themselves—can we foresee the time when we can and our program of aid by giving our neighbors to the south the tools with which they can. become self-sufficient.”

CHRISTMAS TREE FRESHNESS z LAFAYETTE — Don’t wait too long to buy your Christmas tree, recommends E. J. Lott, state extension forester at Purdue university. It will help you get one that’s fresh. It will look better longer, and the freshness is the best insurance against fire. Indiana-grown plantation trees are more likely to be freshly cut than those from farther away. Lott says you can test a tree for freshness by running your hand over the boughs to see if needles feel moist and flexible. If needles drop off when you shake the tree, it’s too dry. As soon as you bring a tree home, throw cold water over it. Cut about an inch of the butt end on the slant. This opens up the pores so it can draw up water. Set the freshly cut butt end in a pail of cold water and keep it there until the tree is taken indoors for trimming. After bringing the tree into the house, fill the container in which it is placed with water and keep it filled. A five or six-foot tree will take up a cup of water or more each day. If you keep a tree moist, Lott explains, it will be more fragrant and retain its freshness longer. As yet, he adds, no chemical has been found to be as effective as natural moisture for making Christmas trees fire resistant. BASEL LECKERLI COOKIES LAFAYETTE — A spicy Christmas cookie that travels w’ell in gift boxes is Basel. Leckerli. Make them a couple weeks ahead ’of time to allow them to soften, suggests Marcile Allen, Purdue university food specialist. Wrap the cookies in moisture vapor proof pcner for storage. If you need to hurry ripening, put half an apple in the cookie jar with the cookies.
