Shopping for school clothes
School will be opening in a couple of weeks and with it comes the chores of shopping for school clothes. Last year’s jeans were short enough to be turned into cut-offs by the time school was out and long sleeved tops were made into short sleeved creations for summer. At least that’s the way it < works at this reporter’s house.

Except for a pair of rubber thongs its nearly hopeless to try and keep shoes on a youngster when the weather is hot. Sometimes its dangerous to wear shoes around the lake. There were some people visiting our next door neighbor last year. When their little boy had finished swimming they dressed him in dry clothes, complete with shoes
and socks. Os course (being a normal child) he went right back out on the pier. His shoe soles slipped on the wet, painted surface of the pier and he fell into water 14 feet deep. Fortunately this reporter’s son saw it happen and ran to the rescue. It’s remarkable how much a child can grow from May till September. The youngster who keeps getting taller, but not much bigger around, can create clothes fitting problems that boggle the mind, so does the child who keeps getting larger around but not much taller. Since most of all of last year’s school clothes are worn out or won’t fit by the next fall some lucky family member, usually mother, gets to take the kids shopping. There are probably fewthings in life that bore a youngster more than looking for anything that even hints of going back to school, so don’t expect much cooperation. It is safest to try on all purchases before leaving the store to make sure sizes are right. Each manufacturer cuts clothing a little bit differently. Two items in a size eight may not fit the same if made by another company. No rational person wants to go through the same ordeal twice. Better be safe than sorry on the first trip. While winter boots and mittens come in pairs they never remain in pairs. By January it is impossible to find a matching pair of either items. Labels won’t help, neither will sewing, pinning

or fusing mittens to coat sleeves. That child will turn up with only one mitten if he has to rip his coat in half to do it. There must be some sort of code among the younger set that says, “appearing in public with matching boots or mittens just isn’t done.” Boots really deserve a separate category. There has always been one small enclosed area at our house where boots are kept. You can deposit matching foot gear, but don’t ever expect to retrieve your deposit. There will be high topped and low topped boots, black, white and brown boots, and matching boots for the right or left foot only. Boots shrink immediately after being purchased. The same boot that fit fine at the store will suddenly neither go on nor come off a youngsters foot without a red faced, grunting, groaning struggle. The child screams that you are hurting him and breaking bones when the real danger is to the parent who will fall over backwards when the boot finally comes off, or goes head first into the wall when the boot suddenly slides onto the youngster’s foot. There is some mysterious law of nature that makes sure, no matter how wild and hectic the job of getting children ready to go back to school becomes, you never completely lose your sanity or have a nervous breakdown. Sometimes it seems like a dirty trick. Goodness knows most parents have earned both.

The seminar, themed “Co-op Seeds — The Indiana Choice,” described corn . and soybean varieties developed specifically for Indiana by FFR Cooperative. FFR is exclusively owned by regional cooperatives including Indiana Farm Bureau Co-op. Among the hybrids discussed was new FFR677, which features an early maturing gene. This exclusive research development allows a later maturing hybrid to be grown farther north to produce better yields. This seed is available exclusively in Indiana from local Farm Bureau Co-ops. All FFR seeds are developed and tested in Indiana with constant research and product evolution. M. C. Sparr, Ph.D, Indiana Farm Bureau Co-op agronomist, discussed the stages in the development of corn and soybeans. Key varieties and hybrids were discussed by Frank Spelbring, FFR marketing director, and Tony Newell, Indiana Farm Bureau Co-op seed specialist.
