Lown And Garden Work Is Best Escape From Tensions
By FRANK WHITE WE WOULDN’T WANT this summer to pass without mention of our best escape from tensions of this mixed up world and our recipe for producing sleep. We refer to working until tired on the lawn, in a garden, and flower beds. We have read in the Wall Street Journal, catalogues from seed companies and elsewhere that there are 50 million back yard gardeners in the U.S.A. There is an estimated 10 per tfent increase over last year. This is despite the fact that the packages of seeds that we used to pay 10 cents for have escalated in price to 50 cents for a 5% ounce package. Other gardening costs have advanced in proportion. You don't have to have a lot of land for a garden Our neighbor to the south has a garden no bigger than two rooms of his house He raises an amazing amount of garden produce and even shares it with friends. Our garden is some 60 x 90 feet. We raise lettuce, beans, radishes, sweet corn, beets, mangoes, cabbage, tomatoes, pop corn for the kiddies, and many other plants There is nothing that makes as big a hit as to bring out a Thanksgiving or Christmas green beans, and corn preserved from our own garden We find it fun to match our wits with the foes that put obstacles in FOR SALE Household Furniture Electric stove, portable dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker.

our garden path. We fight weeds, a new variety blown in from the dust storms of Kansas, crows, possums, coons, who can detect a matured ear of com quicker than we can, flood, moles, army of bugs, frost, drought and what have you. It is hard to find anyone to plow a garden anymore for city folk. Some times we think we will quit but then we have a toothsome meal of com (you only get the most tasty if you grow it) and we start all over again. It is atrocious the kind of plants foisted off on city folks. They will not grow. We have faced up to that also. Even before the snow is off in the winter, we are pouring over our seed catalogues. We have learned that we can raise beds of the most brilliant colored flowers from planting seeds instead of young plants. We even plant tomato seeds and have some perfect specimen of tomatoes only a couple of weeks later than when we set out plants. We put an item in the column that we could not find the old fashioned winter onions that come up almost before the snow leaves. We got over 20 mailings of batches of winter onion sets from generous readers over the state. We got as many suggestions as to how to get rid of moles WE TURN to other subjects. In the Congressional Record was published resuits.of a survey by the Amherst New Era Progress that is meaningful to Hoosiers Young people were canvassed and answers which appeared most frequently were a desire for parents to be: Stricter — more dedicated to church work and go to church as a family — treat young folk s friends like they were welcome — try to understand me and my friends - don’t treat me like a child, but depend on me more — tell, me right from wrong, but
don’t be too harsh about it — Don't fuss at me before other people-don’t curse; don’t drink; don’t smoke-answer simple questions without giving a lecture; ask my opinion instead of demanding-be trustworthy —be more t houghful of one another — love one another — love me. THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE Association has put out some figures on costs of operating your own car that may be surprising. The AAA estimates that fixed costs including depreciation for the first three years, insurance and registration fees, average $1,053 a year or $2.88 a day regardless of how little you use the car. Operating costs are figured at 3.95 cents per mile. That is for a four-door sedan of standard size, equipped with automatic transmission, power steering, air conditioning and radio. Adding these costs give you your actual expenses. A typical motorist who drives 10.000 miles a year will have $1,053 of fixed costs plus $395 for gas. oil and other operating costs —a total of $1,448 a year or 14.5 cents a mile. For 20,000 miles, it would be $1,843 a year or 9.2 cents a mile. Expenses vary but the above is an indication of actual costs. LAKELAND LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. Vernon May of r 1 Milford and Mr. and Mrs. Mervin Mishler of Milford had dinner at Mishawaka and then shopped at the Mall at Michigan City. Mr. and Mrs Henry Beer and Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Beer of Milford attended the 55th annual Beer reunion at Mansfield, Ohio, Sunday. Sept 6. About 150 people attended.

Anti-Polhitiion Efforts May Affect Farmer LAFAYETTE - Hoosier hog producers heard last week they “are in great danger of oppressive and unnecessary (antipollution) restrictions being imposed by the 1971 Indiana General Assembly on your operations.” Richard L. Carey, Indianapolis lawyer, gave the warning in a talk prepared for Purdue Swine Day, adding: . good legislation can and will benefit you as swine producers.” Carey urged the hog men “to push for establishment of fair guidelines so that you can design your operation with assurance that it will provide adequate control measures to prevent stream pollution and, with proper management, will not subject you to litigation in the future.” “. . . you should oppose any legislation which would or could restrict or prevent your operation in any agricultural area regardless of the anti-pollution measures employed.” Carey asserted “Such legislation threatens your livestock operation's very existence under the guise of anti-pollution.” Carey _ made it clear that agriculture should not oppose antipollution laws, but stressed that “all attempts at legislation directed at agriculture should be examined carefully, especially to discover whether the law will establish realistic guidelines for pollution control.” Albert E. Gehlbach, Lincoln, 111., hog producer, reviewed waste disposal systems. He said that hog raisers “are accepting the responsibility of providing a wholesome and pleasing environment for their neighbors and themselves as rapidly as new techniques, skills and equipment can be put to use to minimize air and water pollution problems.” Gehlback said that in his own operation a “properly sized lagoon in combination with injecting wastes into the soil works well for total waste disposal.” When planning to construct a
new facility, Indiana hog producers should check with several agencies, Purdue extension swine specialist Vernon B. Mayrose told the audience. “You must have your plans checked by the Indiana State Board of Health," he said, adding that the Cooperative Extension Service at Purdue “can furnish you with technical help in the various areas involved in your waste disposal system.” “Also check with the Soil Conservation Service in regard to land use, pollution, location of buildings and lagoons,” Mayrose asserted. Dried Flower Arrangements LAFAYETTE — Dried flower arrangements can provide much pleasure. Gay, stimulating and full of variety, they’re always ready to use. You’ll find them especially useful during the winter, but don’t limit them to the one season. For details on drying methods, ask for Indiana Cooperative Extension Service publication HO-102, “Dried Flower Arrangements,” at your county extension office. Single copies are free to Indiana residents. In addition to describing drying methods, the publication also gives tips on both ordinary and unusual uses. LAKELAND LOCALS Claude Wigner of Gas City called on his brother-in-law. Bill Decker, at the Decker home near Milford the past week end. Mr. Wigner worked in Milford at one time.

Swine Day At Purdue Sept. 11 Purdue university’s fiftieth Swine Day took place Friday, Sept. 11, at the Purdue Farm Center. Registration began at 8:30 a.m. after which several demonstrations were held near the livestock pavilion. A nearly odorless technique for placing waste into the ground where it can be utilized in plant growth and stabilized by soil micro-organisms, was demonstrated with special equipment for hauling and releasing liquid manure. Heat treated soybeans were discussed by three Purdue extension specialists. Bruce McKenzie an agriculture engineer talked about available equipment, animal scientist James R. Foster discussed nutritional considerations and David Bache, agricultural economist gave an economic evaluation. Hobart Jones, Purdue animal scientist talked about weaning age considerations, and T. R. Cline, another animal scientist, reviewed the recent application of nutritional research. Infertility and sterility problems in swine were discussed by veterinarian Dr. Phillip N. Boehm of Purdue. A ham luncheon was served at noon. f The afternoon program was opened by J. H. Halstead, executive vice president of the Indiana Pork Producers Association, in the livestock pavilion with a progress report on the IPPA. Area extension livestock agent, John Hiatt, reported on Indiana feeder pig production and marketing.
