Year’s day and the other later and you’ll have luck all year! If you go somewhere and get lonesome, have the hostess put salt in your shoes and sit against the east wall — it will keep you from getting homesick. EVERYONE, just everyone seems to have left town for the holidays. This was quite evident Sunday morning as Norris Jackson presented the message at the Christian church where 158 persons were in attendance. Average attendance at the church runs over 200. Jackson, filling the pulpit while the church’s minister Carl Shearer enjoyed a Christmas holiday in Arizona, brought a chuckle from the congregation with the following remark: ’I know Carl took his family on vacation with him but I didn’t know he had such a large family!” ONE OF our staff members was delighted at the response to the church bells at noon on Christmas day. She and her husband were passing through a town that is participating in the Key *73 program when the clock struck 12 and the church bells chimed the call to prayer. Her reaction: “It was really something! ” She said it was quite obvious that people knew why the bells were ringing and that people are interested in the program. Communities throughout the land are participating in the daily

noon prayer call. PETPEEVEOF THE WEEK: Local businessmen who don’t come to fix something at yoiur home when they promise to be there on a certain day. When they don’t come when they promised, you call to find out when they will come and they say they will be there the next week. Os course, the week has come and gone and they still haven’t showed up! Please, Mr. Businessman, if you can’t keep a promise, don’t make it. Word spreads about your reputation! AS THE New Year approaches with parties and bad weather, we hope everyone will remember that drinking and driving don’t mix. Let’s bring in the New Year with no traffic fatalities! THERE WAS a full house at the United Methodist church on Sunday evening when the annual candlelighting service was held. Seems they had several visitors as they were the only church in town to hold the late evening service this year. PLUM OR PLUMB — Which is pudding?

1973 soybean seed supply may be tight

WEST LAFAYETTE — Supplies of high quality soybean seed for 1973 planting in Indiana may be extremely tight. Harvest problems that have plagued commercial farmers have also delayed harvest in many fields intended for seed. Although many early harvested seed fields have shown excellent germination and seed quality, later harvested seed fields have shown a deterioration in quality as problems from moldy beans, weathering, freezing and rewetting mounted. As of mid-December, the state seed and seed certification laboratories had analyzed 1,060 new crop soybean seed samples for germination. Only 30 per cent of these samples germinated 80 per cent or better. Eighty per cent germination is generally recognized as about the minimum for good quality seed. Only about one-fourth of recent samples are germinating 80 per cent or better. In a normal season about two-thirds of the samples received will germinate 80 per cent. Purdue university extension agronomist M. L. Swearingin forecasts an unprecedented demand for good soybean seed in 1973, giving the following reasons: * A short supply of both seed and commercial soybeans because of inclement fall weather; Very favorable soybean prices; Limited fall plowing in Indiana which could result in planting delays next spring. Delayed planting usually means a shift toward soybeans at the expense of corn in the late-planted fields; The recently announced 1973 Feed Grain program objectives of reducing set aside acres to twothirds of last year’s 37 million acres. A good part of this 12 million acres coming out of set aside could be planted to soybeans. Under these conditions Swearingin says Indiana’s 1973 soybean acreage could be increased another 10 per cent and exceed four million acres for the first time. So, Indiana soybean producers may need to make an extra effort to obtain seed for planting next spring. Early shoppers will have the best selection of varieties, germination and quality, the agronomist observes. He offers these suggestions: Obtain high quality certified seed if possible. A certified seed directory listing names, addresses and phone numbers of all Indiana certified soybean producers is available at county cooperative extension service offices. Although seed prices may not yet be set because of unsettled market conditions, most producers will be willing to book orders at prices to be mutually agreed upon later. The booking invoice should state the variety or varieties and the minimum acceptable germination since certified seed no longer carries minimum germination standards. If certified seed is not available, contact local reputable seedsmen about seed supplies from fields planted with certified seed in 1972. Seed should be bagged and tagged and germinate at least 80 per cent. As a last resort, bin run seed could be used, particularly from fields harvested early, at about 12-14 per cent moisture and unmixed as to variety. A preliminary germination test is suggested before having the seed recleaned. The germination test is performed by the state seed

laboratory at Purdue without charge. If germination is above 80 per cent, the seed may then be recleaned for planting. If low quality seed (60 to 80 per cent germination) must be used, seed treatment with a fungicide such as Arasan Red may improve field emergence. Farmers are cautioned against purchase of unknown varieties whose performance and adaptation in Indiana are unknown. Soybean varieties are only adapted to a latitude band of about 150 miles wide from north to south. Truman — (Continued From Page 1) pledged his support to Roosevelt. He was re-elected in 1940. Truman became chairman of the Senate’s Special Committee to Investigate the National Defense program and as chairman saved as much as sls Ullion dollars for the country, by doing this, he became famous. Truman waged a vigorous contest for the Vice Presidential nomination in 1944 and became the choice of FDR. On April 12, 1945, Mrs. Roosevelt told Truman her husband was dead and he was President. Upon hearing the news Truman said, “I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me; I’ve got the most terribly responsible job a man ever had.” He wasn’t long in taking the responsibilities that faced him and by fall he was developing his own policies. He presented Congress a 21-point program which he called the Fair Deal. Little Chance When election time rolled around in 1948 the polls said the President had little chance of being elected. But Truman emerged the winner. In 1953 Truman retired to his home in Independence from where he continued to make comments on world affairs. Truman’s death brought praise from leaders throughout the world. Chancellor Willy Brandt of West Germany has telegrammed Nixon with words of mourning tor the man who “devoted his life courageously to the defense of freedom.” Premier George Papadopoulos of Greece praised Truman for his “invaluable ■ contribution to the cause of world peace because it checked Communist expansionism.” “President Truman was well known to Canadians and ... he exemplified to Canadians the American warm-heartedness and close family life,” said Prime Minister Pierre Elliott of Canada. And England’s Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Edward Heath said he would always be remembered with gratitude. Again we too say goodbye: Mr. President.

Central cleaning units

WEST LAFAYETTE - A builtin vacuum cleaning system is a definite plus for any house. Such a system increases the value of the home, makes cleaning easier and eliminates movement of dirt and dust in the living area. With a built-in cleaning system, the power unit — with dust collector — is installed outside of the living area, usually in the basement, garage or utility room, explains Paul E. Johnson, Purdue university extension agricultural engineer. From this power unit, rigid plastic tubing runs under the floor or in the walls to vacuum inlets. These inlets are strategically located to permit complete coverage of the house with a lightweight flexible vacuum hose. In cleaning, one end of the flexible vacuum hose is placed in the inlet and the other end to the desired cleaning tool. Dust, grit, dirt and germs are carried through the high capacity tubing to the collecting unit outside the living area. Since the system is vented outdoors, the dirt-laden air moves through a continuous line from the living area to outside of the house. A built-in vacuum cleaning system is extremely beneficial to people who are allergic to dust, adds Johnson. With such a system, there is a noticeable decrease in the amount of dust, especially in an air conditioned home. Do not install power units in the attic, warns Johnson. And consider closet installation only where there is adequate ventilation, such as louvered doors. The basement or garage is by far the best location for the power unit. It is important that you install the exhaust tube to the outdoors, says the engineer. Run the exhaust to the rear of the house, but avoid patios, window areas and entrance ways, for the noise would be objectionable in these areas. Inlet valves serve best when located centrally in hallways, near doorways and at the bottom of stairways. Good planning provides for a maximum amount of cleaning coverage with a minimum number of intake valves. In some cases, it is

possible to clean three or four rooms from one inlet. Furthermore, inlets located at these locations are seldom obstructed by furniture. Be sure to place one inlet in the garage for car and garage cleaning. Tubing may be run in the attic, overhead in basement or crawl space and into partition walls to inlet valves. Tubes carrying dirt upward should never exceed one story, cautions Johnson. Never drop a branch line out of the bottom of a trunk line, he adds, as this will provide a pocket for dirt to fill. Always run a branch line out of the side or top of the trunk line. When an inlet valve is open, the power unit should start automatically. Use the least number of valves possible, 45 degree elbows, and gradually slope to the power unit. Ulis will reduce friction, which in turn will reduce loss of action. Check and empty the collector periodically. Power units are available from % hp to two hp, and multi-stage impellors are available on some models. For extra power in larger homes (in excess of six inlets), some manufacturers build units where the air flow may be connected in series, while the motors are connected electrically parallel. With a built-in vacuum cleaning unit, you'll have nothing to lift, lug or tug as you clean. Motor noise will be nil. And there will be no dust bags to buy and
