Tippecanoe Homemakers formed in winter of 1919

(EDITORS NOTE — Article written by Mary Lee Willman from information supplied by Ruth Mickley. club historian; Ruth Hamman; Goldie Hunnicutt; Lillian Barker; and Opal Esch.) Tippecanoe Township Extension Homemakers Club came into being during the winter of 1919 as a group of ladies, who had accompanied their husbands to a Farm Bureau meeting at the North Webster School, adjourned to the home economics room and began exchanging ideas for, sewing, cooking and homemaking. The ladies contacted Mrs. J. E. Baer of Leesburg, who was the first county president, and the first Extension Homemakers Club in Kosciusko County was organized. Charter members of the club were Mrs. Dan (Belle) Mock, Mrs. John (Minnie) Miller, Mrs. Ida Bigler. Mrs. Grant (Clara) Bause. Mrs. William (Gertrude) Caskey, Mrs. John (Mae) Heddens. Mrs. John (Anna) Hamman, Mrs. Elsie Strom beck and Mrs. Mat Hause. Mrs. Mock was the club’s first president. She served in that office for many years as well as assuming the duties of lesson leader. Information on “How To Make Your Own Dress Form," and “How To Braid Rugs Using Eight Strands Os Material,” was among some of the first lessons material studied by the club. During the early years the ladies made their own year books. It wasn't until the early 1940’s that the year books were provided by the county. Special note should be made of Miss Maude Willis, who became a devoted member of the club after retiring to the North Webster Community to live with her brother. Henry. Miss Willis was a talented elocutionist and noted actress on the Chautauqua stage. At the close of the Chautauqua era she was employed by radio station WLS until her retirement. Miss Willis was frequently asked to give readings for the county homemakers achievement night programs. She helped the ladies prepare a demonstration for the Mentone Egg Show. They brought home a blue ribbon and some prize money. In the early 1950's she encouraged the members to form a kitchen band. It became quite popular and they were asked to play at meetings and social functions around the area for several years. Memories of those early years are a treasured highlight of today’s meetings when they are shared with newcomers to the organization. During the 58 years of the club's existence members of Tippecanoe Township Club have always been active in charity and church work, community affairs, 4-H chibs and other worth while causes. Club entries in exhibits and Fairs have won many awards North Webster UM Youth hold Rock-A-Thon Youth from North Webster United Methodist Church who participated in the recent church sponsored “Rock-A-Thon" are Beth Walker, Kevin Walker, Greg Henderson, Glen Wilkey, Kim Fariss, Jennifer Steele, Mark Harreld, John Locke, Annette Keim. Tami Smith. Steve Smith and John Koontz. The young people were sponsored by interested persons to keep the rocking chairs going all night Funds raised are to be used for various church related activities. Efficient Homemakers meet in Nine home Efficient Homemakers Home Extension club members met recently in the home of Mary Nine. Linda Taylor and Ruth Sheppard assisted the hostess Devotions were given by Pauline White. During the business session it was announced that club member. Della Helvey, will take office in July as county vice president She is also chairman of the County Homemakers Spring Trip. A get well card was signed for Kate Mauzy, a former dub member now living in Arizona. The lesson “Are You Hearing What I’m Saying?" was given by Sue Niles. The door prize was presented to Mary Sullivan. There were 26 members present. Mrs. Sheppard was a guest. The May meeting will be at the home of Mvrtle Liken*

and an uncountable number of ribbons for the active ladies. By 1957 dub members had reached 54 and it was impossible to continue meeting in individual homes. First the Legion Club Room at North Webster was rented. Then the meetings were moved to the Barbee Conservation club building. Club membership now stands at 30 and meetings are again being held in the homes. Mrs. Harry Starke was president of the club in 1957 when growing interest in arts and crafts brought about the establishment of a Hobby Club as an auxiliary interest of the Homemakers Club. Mrs. Starke conducted classes at her craft shop where the group learned stencil painting, aluminum etching, leather tooling, ceramics, china painting and beadwork. As a result of their interest and training several ladies opened craft shops in their homes. Some of these small businesses are still in operation today. Mrs. Gustav (Opal) Esch, was president in 1975 ans 1976 when dub pins for years of service were presented to the following: Mrs. Fred (Hattie) Fiddler, 50 years; Mrs. Albert (Ruth) Hamman. Sr., 50 years; Mrs.

Cattle feeders day research

West Lafayette — Cattle fed only corn silage gained an average of .26 pounds per day more per head with greater feed efficiency and less feed cost per pound of gain when the silage was made from brown midrib corn, a Purdue University animal scientist said at. Indiana Cattle Feeders Day. V. F. Colenbrander discussed the role of brown midrib corn during the morning session of the annual event at the Purdue animal research farm. He warned, however, that when the silage is fed with cracked corn, little difference in average daily weight gain, feed efficiency or feed cost per pound of gain is noted. As a result, he said, since brown midrib corn yields about 14 per cen* less dry matter per acre than normal corn, it can not be recommended for commercial use when silage is being fed with grain. Brown midrib com. according to Colenbrander. has a reduced lignin content which permits more digestion of the plant fiber. “The improved performance of steers fed brown midrib silage without additional corn probably reflects increased digestibility of fiber due to less lignin. With high grain feeding, the effect of reduced lignin is apparently masked by the more available energy in the added grain.” he said. Colenbrander made one of several presentations on various feeding programs for cattle. Man' Wray, also of Purdue, reported the results of research on hair and feather meal as protein sources for beef cattle. Hair meal and feather meal are high protein supplements that are readily available in areas where poultry and swine are slaughtered, she said. She reported that although feed efficiencies are generally less for feeds containing hair or feather meal than feeds containing soybean mea| as a protein source, cost pe£ pound of gain of these alternate sources is not significantly different because of the lower cost of hair and feather meal She concluded, on the basis of two experimental feeding programs at Purdue, that either

feather meal <x hair meal can be used with equal results to replace soybean meal in protein supplements for beef cattle. R. C. Peterson, superintendent of Lynnwood Purdue Agricultural Center, reported on research designed to study increased silage to corn ratio for finishing cattle. He noted that a logical approach to the problem of higher corn costs, is the utilization of corn the highest level which will permit efficient, economical, and reasonably rapid gains. As the result of experimental feeding programs at the

H PHOTO-FORUM MHB QMK3 HMB ■99999999999981 BE AN IMAGE COLLECTOR Some folks hove a mania for collecting things; old bottles, paper weights, paintings, antique plates, dolls, etc. My own collection is sunsets. Collecting sunsets certainly has its advantages. They're beautiful to look at and they rarely need dusting. Obviously, I'm referring to a photographic collection. It's fun to build a slide or print collection of a particular subject. In addition to sunsets, I enjoy photographing and adding to my slide collection of wildflowers, insects, landscapes, animals.and birds. I prefer slides because they're economical and easy to store. Recently, I sold a camera to someone whose primary interest is collecting photographs of trains. A friend in Elkhart spends his vacations traveling the countryside photographing old mills. Ideas for photographic collectables is limited only by your imagination. How about old barns, waterfalls, churches, covered bridges, landmarks or antique cars? It's fun to be an image collector. Choose subjects that interest you and wherever you go, you'll look forward to adding to your slide or print collection. Whether you need help selecting a fine camera or a little help with a photographic problem, you're always welcome at Gethen Camera Mart, 118 Sealh Mob Street.

agricultural center, Peterson noted that feed costs per pound of gain favor prolonged heavy feeding of corn silage. He cautioned, however, that when the objective of economy of gain and rapidity of gain are combined. a more desirable feeding program for heavy cattle is to feed a heavy silage diet for from two to three months and then switch over to a “hot” finishing ration. Cattle Feeders Day is an annual program at Purdue designed to give Indiana cattle feeders an insight into results of Purdue research that can be used in their operations.
