In Due Respect...

In due respect this nation will pause next Tuesday, May 30, to honor the war dead. Many cities and towns will have special ceremonies for their young men who have been killed in recent months in Viet Nam while protecting the freedom, so many of us take for granted. Demonstrations were held recently in New York citv to “Back Our Fighting Men in Viet Nam”. On July 15 the American Legion is planning a parade in Indianapolis with the same theme. The march in New York and the one scheduled for Indianapolis are rallying points for those showing support of our armed forces, plagued recently with so many anti-demonstrations.

We Salute The Salvation Army

We join millions of others all oyer this nation who are saluting the Salvation Army during their week—May 21-28. The purpose of National Salvation Army week is to acquaint the people with the dedicated work of the Salvation Army. Their thought for the week is “Holiness has serving hands.” Most people think of the Salvation Arrhy as an organization dedicated to the saving of sinners—the depraved and hopeless ones from Skid Row. This is true, but the Salvation Army

FARM By DON FRANTZ County Extension Agent A lot of our common plants haw interesting histories. They have moved around in different parts of the world and while we think of some as old-timers, many times they have only been around for a few generations. Red Hover is an old standard crop we think of it as being older than alfalfa but actually it has been used domestically for a much shorter time. The original home of clover was in southwest Asia in the region of Media and south to the Caspian Sea. It was reported in the early writings as far back as 1300 as being a good feed for cows. It took about 300 years for it to be used in Europe, first in Italy and then a century or so later into England. It was first reported in America in 1747 in Massachusetts. Its introduction was of importance to us because with it came the concept of crop rotations and clover was the basic legume in corn producing rotations for years and it has only been the introduction of commercial nitrogen in the last 30 years that has changed it. Clover came to Indiana about 1850 and by 1875 was used in nearly

While we can’t all go to Indianapolis to march, we can say a big Amen to what those marchers are trying to do and on Tuesday we can take time to participate in or watch a Memorial Day parade in our home town and maybe even attend the ceremony which follows at the cemetery. Memorial Day is a holiday proclaimed by Presidential proclamation and is observed in all but six of the states. It honors the veterans of all wars. Won't you pause next Tuesday and give your due respect to those who have given their lives for you and? your loved ones? You might even say a special prayer for the rest of the boys who are serving in Viet Nam — that God will grant them a safe journey home.

is much more than this. It is an organization that serves thousands of persons each year. They feed the hungry, clothe the naked, relieve the thirsty, counsel the mistaken, minister to the ill, visit the imprisoned, restore self-respect and dignity to the hopeless, house the homeless, comfort the widowed and orphaned and befriend the outcast. In a land of plenty, the Salvation Army saves millions from hunger. Last year they served more than 11 million meals to’ homeless transients and local indigents.

every county. Some of our early governors had a program of importing good clover seed as a part of their campaign platforms. Alfalfa, our other base forage legunv crop, also came from southwest Asia and plants related to it have been found all over Asia, even Sfeeria. It was first thought to have been cultivated in Iran. Pliny, the early Roman writer, records that it was introduced into Greece as early as 490 B.C. when the invasion of the Medes and Persians occurred. They brought it in for their chariot horses. It was next recorded in Spain and it was they who brought it to Central and South America for their horses in their early invasions. The first attempt to raise it in North America was in Georgia in 1736, Both Thomas Jefferson and George Washington wrote of producing alfalfa about 1790 but it didn't catch on as a popular crop. The break through in popularity of alfalfa came in 1851 as a resiflt of the cold rush. Gold seekers brought seed from Chile to California and there on the fertile limestone soil it really grew and its introduction into the great livestock producing area of the mid-west came byway of Utah. Colorado and Kansas. After it became well known, new varieties were developed and the introduction of a strain suitable for the corn belt came with the immigrant Wcnddin Grimm from Germany into Minnesota in 1857. The Grimm variety was hardy enough to withstand the northern winters. Tom Parker, Kosciusko county?

first county agent, told me that much of his early work was in the promotion and demonstration work on alfalfa. C.I.A. is criticized by conservatives.
