EDITORIAL This section of THE JOURNAL has been set aside as a medium for publicising and advertising North Webster and its surrounding territory, as well as giving to the residents of that area and all other readers of Northern Indiana’s Newsiest Newspaper, an up to the minute account of happenings and plans in North Webster community. In cooperating with this plan, the business men of North Webster are giving to their customers, friends and neighbors, a newspaper. Valuable because of its forward program in giving constructive publicity to the lake country, THE JOURNAL has dedicated itself the task of bringing a spirit of closer relationship to North Webster, Syracuse, Barbee, Tippecanoe and Wawasee. We believe a united program of publicity through the medium of the printed word, will bring more people to Northern Indiana and will benefit each town proportionately, according to what each offers in the way of comforts, conveniences and attractions. , , . - We heartily congratulate the business men of North Webster and the North Webster Commercial Club for their endorsement and support of this plan. We sincerely thank each for his confidence and cooperation. We believe the step you have taken will prove profitable, will serve to further your own progressive program and will help build and develop all of Northern Indiana.

S. Department of Agriculture, will be continued on a larger scale this year, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, stated today. Traps used in locating the beetle in Indianapolis, will be used there and at other points this year, according to-plans. The Japanese beetle, already well established in several eastern states, feeds upon grass roots, shrubbery and other plants. AU areas in which the beetles were trapped in Indianapolis, were treated with chemical solutions to kill the beetles which might still be in the grub n COOPERATIVES IN 1935. A report by the Farm Credit Administration shows that the agricultural cooperative marketing movement made substantial progress in 1935—as it ha* in almost every year Since ft* inception.

They had a total membership of 2,490,000 farmers, and did a total volume of business of 81,343,000,000 —« gain of 14J! per cent over 1934. The largest number of co-operativ-es was in the North Central States. On the basis of business transacted, dairy products constituted the most important commodity marketed by co-ops, followed in order by grain, fruits and vegetable*, livestock, cotton product*, and poultry and product*.

S. Department of Agriculture, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, announced today. Inspectors spent several days in Indiana early this month, attempting to check on elm trees in Indianapolis and cities in which veneer plants are located, but were handicapped by zero temperatures. In surveys conducted in 1934 and 1935, approximately sixteen diseased elm trees were discovered and removed. The disease was believed to have reached Indianapolis on elm logs imported by veneer plant*. It is a serious menace in the eastern part of the United States while a number of diseased trees have been found in Cleveland. By continuing the survey of Indiana, particularly in areas where veneer plant* are located, it is hoped that the spread of the disease in thte state can be controlled.

****•*•*<•* • EFFECTS OF EROSION • • EXPLAINED AT PURDUE • «***’« *«**«» “A recent survey of Indiana shows that 57.4 per cent of the total area of the fertile land of the state han lost up to one-fourth of its top soil; jthat an additional 33.3 per cent has lost from 25 to 75 per cent of its i top soil, while 6.6 per cent has lost ‘ practically all of its top soil. In addition there is 30.7 per cent of the ' farm land containing gullies, and i 11.2 per cent of the land is largely destroyed, for practical use, by gullying,” explained J. S. Cutler, ‘ Zanesville, Ohio, in charge of Soil i Conservation Service in this region of the United States. Cutler describ-,, ed thte work at the Agricultural ( Conference held recently at Purdue University where 6,845 Indiana farm men and women were registered. i Cutler announced that the Soil Conservation Service has under way ; a complete watershed demonstration . in Soil Conservation on Leatherwood Creek near Bedford. On this water- ! shed a concise, coordinated conser- • vation program will be develope’ and put into effect in an effort to show the land owners in that section of Indiana) that a sound program of soil conservation can be carried out. In addition there are at present eleven camps, scattered throughout Indiana, which are carrying on demonstrational work on individual farms. These serve as local centers for the demonstration of practical ' and feasible erosion control practices. The camps are located at Bedford, Brookville, Lafayette, ’ Lexington, Princeton, Salem, Shoals, Rising Sun, Wadesville, Washington and Worthington. As far as possible the general policies in relation to soil conservation are carried out by the several camps, Cutler said.

SAYS NEWSPAPER IS THE BEST MEDIUM R. H. Scheltechmidt, advertising manager for the Indianapolis division of the Standard Oil Company ” of Indiana, told members of the Advertising Club of Indianapolis at their luncheon yesterday that newspapers provide the most effective medium for a complete advertising program. The newspaper has the most complete coverage, he said, and is best for a constant advertising campaign. More than 50 per cent of the 1936 advertising appropriation for Standard Oil of Indiana has been alloted to newspapers, he said, the remainder being appropriated among radio, outdoor and other advertising media. ICE COMPANY PREPARES FOR BUSY SUMMER The North Webster Artificial Ice Company is preparing for the open of the season, and will be ready for production in a few weeks. The president of the company is L. H. Sider. Due to the organization of this new concern, there has been little ice harvested from the lake this year, and it is believed the feompany should enjoy a profitable season. TO START WORK ON STATE ROUTE NO. 13 Work is expected to start on this section of the improvement of Route 13, as soon as weather permits, residents have been informed. The contract! has been awarded to the Day Construction Company of Marion, Indiana, and the contractor has already been in North Webster, looking for a house. He plans to move his family here during the period of construction. 0 There are still some dollar a year men in the U. S. government but s even the SIO,OOO * year men can put it out lots fester than they take it in.
