Indianapolis.—Stressing the necessity for economy and dealing largely In his recommendations with corrective legislation rather than advocating new laws. Governor Ed Jackson delivered his first message to the legislature, in joint session in the chamber of the house of representatives. The new governor recommended that the present primary law remain untouched, that money received from all sources by the state be paid into the general fund and appropriated in-so-far as possible from the one fund by the state legislature; that the assembly put into effect a program of strict economy with reference to the state penal, benevolent, corrective and educational institutions and the building of roads, this program of economy to conform to the actual needs of these various departments of the state government. The governor said with reference to the primary law that he could not bring himself to agree with those who advocate the repeal of the law. Changing the law would result in fewer voters participating in the elections, he said. One of the striking features of the message was the recommendation • that the state adopt a permanent automobile registration plan, with permanent automoolle license plates and that the annual fee system be discontinued. The governor recommended that the tax on gasoline be increased in an amount commensurate with that received from fees. For Motor Bus Regulation. He also recommended that motor bus regulation be placed under the state public service commission and he further recommended that the commission should have additional fees to maintain its service properly to the public. With reference to the farmers Governor Jackson said he had no specific remedies to recommend to the legislature although he called attention to the unsatisfactory conditions <>n the farms. The governor, in his message opposed all borrowing by the state and said the state should be able to live svithin its budget and without the aid >f outside credit. Revaluation of Real Estate. Near the close of his address the governor said that it was not ids purpose to dictate to the legislature with reference to any of its acts. Rather, ; he pointed out, it was his desire to | co-operate with all the members, regardless of party affiliations, and he laid he would welcome the advice and counsel of every member of the legislature. The governor then informed the legislature that he had appointed a committee of three, in keeping with a campaign promise, to make a survey ^f all the boards and commissions and report their findings. Governor Jackson recommended the creation of a sinking fund of sufiiPient size to enable the state to carry its own insurance. Another recommendation urged revaluation of real estate in 1925 and' ; every four years thereafter, the gov- i ernor saying that state land owners had been paying taxes on excessive ! valuations. He would empower the ’ fax board to revalue at its pleasure ; whenever such revaluation became warranteu, he said. “The farmers of our state have suffered very greatly by reason of the economic conditions that have prerailed," the mesage said. “I have no •pecific remedy to offer.” INDIANA STATE NEWS Lafayette.—ln spite of the generally unfavorable season for corn this year, 20 growers are eligible for the Indiana Hundred Bushel club by producing I(XJ , bushels or more of corn to the acre In Ihe five-acre corn-growing contest. Six-ly-four made official yields of 85 to IOC bushels an acre, and 99 raised 75 to 85 bushels an acre. George J. Yarling. a twenty-eight-year-old Shelby county corn grower, produced the highest yield ■ in 1924. He grew 118.38 bushels an acre on his five-acre plot. Indianapolis.—Authorities estimate that at least one-third of all adults are partially deaf in one or both ears, ac- ' cording to the Indiana State Medical association. “A percentage of ear afflictions is the result of processes arising outside of the ear itself,” reads the ! bulletin. "Adenoids and stoppages oi the nose by clods are more often causes of deafness than any disease ot the ear itself. To avoid ear trouble , t is important that the nose be kept healthy." Indianapolis. — While Emmett F. Branch was dictating his last official correspondence as governor of Indiana Monday, a delegation, including the heads of practically all the state departments, filed into the office at Indianapolis, bearing trays of silver and other gifts of remembrance. The governor, without looking up from his work, said: "Come in. gentlemen. I’ll be witl you in a moment.” The former chief executive of the statt was visibly surprised 'tnd deeply moved when lie realized the purp«*» •f the delegation.

HOW TO KEEP WELL i DR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of “HEALTH” I©. 1126. Western Newepaper Union.) “COMMON COLDS” ARE TOO COMMON 1 qQOMMON colds” are the most common Illnesses in the United States, says Dr. Hugh Cummings, surgeon general of the United States Public Health service. During the last I year this service has been making an investigation of colds. It finds that, out of every one hundred persons, only ten have no colds during the year, that ninety will have one or two each । winter or an average of nearly four every year. Now there are approximately one hundred and ten million people in this ! country. Os these, eleven million will ■ be free from colds, while the ninety- : nine million who have four colds a ; year will have among them, three hundred and ninety-six million colds every twelve months. No wonder Doctor Cummings says colds are the commonest disease we have. These colds are not only unpleasant, they are also expensive. How much is lost in time and wages because of them? How much is paid out for “ca- ; tarrh cures,” cough drops, oils, syrups, poultices and mustard foot baths? Nobody has any idea, but you can be sure that our national cold bill is many times larger than our annual coal bill we hear so much about. These colds are just the same in different parts of the country. They occur about the same time of the year in every locality. The public health i service has found that the first outbreak occurs in October. That’s when the first raw, chilly days are apt to appear. We evidently get accustomed to this or protect ourselves better, for after the first outbreak, the number of colds decreases, until the latter part of December when another outbreak occurs. Then the weather settles down and we adapt ourselves to it again and the number of colds drops off until January. During the late winter and early spring, colds are general. Elderly or delicate persons, who may have their third or fourth attack, when they are weakened and their resistance is reduced, are then especially liable to develop something worse, bronchitis or Influenza or the dreaded pneumonia, i So that colds, while not generally dangerous to life themselves, are very apt to prove the starting point for other and more serious diseases. No one likes to have a cold. We’d all be glad to be rid of them. The investigation now being made by the | public health service is the first naI tion-wide study of colds ever undertaken. Anything which can be done । to reduce this disagreeable pest wifi be a real service to the public. _ AN HEROIC METHOD OF REDUCING TWENTY years ago Truly Shattuck was a member of the famous Weber and Fields chorus. More than ' that, she was widely known as having the most perfect figure of any woman ' on the stage. Recently the dally papers stated that Miss Shattuck had entered a Chicago hospital weighing 192 pounds and with a waistline of 42 inches, and had been discharged a few flays later with a 34-inch waist measure and weighing 123 pounds. Sixty-nlne pounds’ reduction in a few days is certainly a stren- । uous method and one that few women care to undertake. Fat, anywhere in the body or in any amount, is caused by surplus food, over and above the body needs. If we knew exactly how much fuel the body i required for its daily work and if each I one of us, whether banker, office : worker, housekeeper or laborer, ate i exactly what we needed and no more, | there would be no fat people. Probably the death rate from Bright’s disi ease and diabetes would begin to go I down. Certainly a great deal of money would be saved for other uses. i Fat is not only unsightly ; it’s an expensive and useless inconvenience. i We pay to get it and we pay to keep it and we pay to get rid of it. In most cases, fat is deposited under the skin and around the musclea all I over the body. It is particularly fond of settling around the waist, on the hips and thighs, but, as a rule, it is ! fairly evenly distributed. In some | cases —why, W’e do not know— it accumulates in masses in these particular spots, so large that they can be shelled out from the skin very much as the * cook shells peas out of pods. The surgeon, after putting his patient to sleep, cuts through the skin down to the fit, loosens the fat layer, removes it in wedge-shaped pieces and sews the skin over the wound. The amount removed depends on the case; from twenty-five pounds to seventyfive pounds have been removed in a single operation. If carefully done by a skilled surgeon, no harm and much ; benefit may result. it is doubtful whether this form of reducing will ever become popular. Most women would prefer to keep out > of the operating room and to reduce more slowly. That is wise, but how much wiser to eat less, exercise more and so avoid ihe necessity for any kind of reduction treatment, either by the surgeon’s knife or by fasting. Things to Worry About Scientists have worked out some theories that will amuse, if not startle the lay readers. One is tha as the planet earth gets older the air around it will disappear, the sense of smell dying with it, with the result that humans will have enormous noses not unlike the trunk of an elephant. As sound and smell diminish as the air gets thinner, humans will also have great batlike ears, these scientists saj. Added to this worry, humans may look forward to a completely frozen \4^>rld, even at the equator- in 3.0*10,000 years.

Tomatoes Ranked First in Crops

* Nineteen Different Products Had $313,000,000 Gross Value in 1924. (Prepared by the United States Department t of Agriculture.) j Nineteen truck crops produced in the , United States the past year for table _ use, canning, and manufacture had a t gross value to the growers of $313,000,3 000, according to estimates by the United States Department of Agricul- , ture. This is $12,000,000 less than in , 1923, but $22,000,000 more than In 1922, and $78,000,000 more than in r 1921. Ihere has been a rapid expansion in p truck crop production, transportation, 8 and marketing in recent years, as inI dlcated in acreage figures, the department points out. The acreage devoted a to the 19 crops this year was 2,302,000 _ acres, which is a 60 per cent increase F over the acreage in 1921. Canning Acreage Doubled. b Production of 18 crops grown wholly e or partly for table use direct was on i,309,(XX1 acres and had a value of $262,000,000. The quantity produced R wholly or partly for canning or manuf facture was grown on 993,000 acres . and had a value of $51,000,000. The canning acreage lias been more than k doubled since 1921, and the table acrep age has been Increased one-third. r Tomatoes were first in gross value, । showing a total of $55,000,000; early Irish potatoes are valued at $44,000.000; strawberries $35,000,000, and cantaloupes $20,000,000. Green peas, r onions, lettuce, celery, cabbage, and asparagus each come in the $ 15,000,000 to $17,000,000 range; cucumbers, snap beans and watermelons ranged from $8,500,000 to $12,060,600 each, and j sweet com for canning, spinach, peppers, cauliflower, and carrots, from r $3,606,000 to $7,100,000 each. The ( value of eggplants was $1,030,000. Tomatoes in the Lead. Tomatoes had the largest acreage at j 470,000 acres; early Irish potatoes. , 308,000 acres; sweet corn for canning. 299,000 acres; green peas, 242.000 i r acres; watermelons. 168,000 acres; r strawberries, 147,000 acres ; cucumbers, r 130,000 acres.

NEW RECORD MADE IN FIGHT ON DREADED BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS I ——— . - - - - — -—

I ' More Tests in October, 1924, Than Any One Month. » (Prepared by the I’nlted Staten Department । of Agriculture.) More cattle were tuberculin tested . during the month of October, 1924. tn the nation-wide campaign to eradicate bovine tuberculosis than were ever tested In any previous month, according to a summary of the work compiled by the United Statet Depart ; meat of Agriculture. A total of 642,1 602 cattle were given the tuberculin test during that month by the force of . veterinarians engaged by the government and those co-operating in stamping out this costly cattle plague. This exceeds by more than sixteen thousand the previous record number of cattle tested in one month. In May. j 1924, there were tested 626.257 cattle. . which was the highest number until the recent month of October. The ' total number of cattle now under supervision for the eradication of tuberculosis is 9,198,975. That the work of tuberculosis eradication Is popularly supported is shown by the fact that Sources of Protein and Vitamines for Laying Hen Skim milk and buttermilk are ev- | ceedingly valuable sources of protein i and vitamines for laying hens. This 1 has been demonstrated not only by I experiment Stations, but also by , thousands of poultry raisers. While I poultrymen generally understand the value of these products, they do not i always use enough of them to get the best results obtainable. Too many think that if they feed some milk or some buttermilk in addition to the regular mash and grain ration, they are doing all that is necessary. This, of course, may not he true. Feeding I "some” of these dairy products may not be enough to properly balance the I ration. It has been shown that an ordinary mash made of ground corn, ground oats, bran, and shorts, when supplemented with whole corn and oats, make a good laying ration when the hens are given all the buttermilk or I skim milk they can consume. That is, when they are given no water. If they have access to water in addition to skim milk or buttermilk, they will not consume enough of the latter to balance the ration mentioned, and therein Iles the mistake that so many poultrymen make. They do not feed enough of the skim milk or buttermilk to furnish the amount of pro- , tein needed for high production. The Strawberry Patch Very few gardeners who have space to spare will do without a strawberry patch. The everbearing variety has come into favor, and in most instances Is satisfactory. However, the crop, being continuous throughout most of the growing season, is seldom as large at any time as the regular kind. Better results will be had by pinching , off the blossoms until June. I Rice Is Not Relished Rice is not liked by poultry, and it ranks lower than wheat in both diges--1 tibilllty and palatability. It' is not much used for poultry feeding, even : in the South where rise is grown. • Some commercial chick scratch grain mixtures contain a little rice, but it ‘ does not add to the value of the feed.

facture of cucumbers took 72 per cent of the acreage; tomatoes, 67 per cent, asparagus, 47 per cent; spinach, 29 per cent; string beans, 27 per cent, and cabbage for kraut, 14 per cent. Truck crops are the product of Intensive agriculture and require much human labor, and a highly fertile and well-tilled soil. Gross return per acre is far from being all profit, and sometimes fails to equal the cost of production, the department says. Cost of Fertilizer Can Be Reduced by Legumes "Grow more legumes und let nature take care of your fertilizer needs. Let the air help pay your fertilizer bill.” This is the suggestion soil and crop specialists of the Georgia State College of Agriculture make to help keep the cost of fertilizer down. Nitrogen is the most expensive constituent in factory mixed fertilizer, they say, and economy necessitates the using of a part of tiie unlimited quantities of nitrogen found in the air over Georgia farms. The clovers and vetches have been found to make available about sixty pounds of nitrogen per acre, and when the whole crop is turned under, th* fertilizing value is equivalent to the addition of five or six loads of stable manure. A good legume hay crop turned under will lead to profitable and permanent farming. It would require four tons of ordinary mixed fertilizer ' per acre, containing 2 per cent ammonia, to furnish an amount of nitro- ' gen equal to a good crop of vetch or clover. If purchased In mixed form this nitrogen would cost from S2O to $25 per ton. Control of Apple Scald Oiled wrappers have proved to be the most practical preventive of scald found so far. The first consideration is prompt cooling after harvest. Then pack your ap[4es, using oiled wrappers for each tipple. Such apples should come through storage hi much better condition. Write to the United States Ib-partrflent of Agriculture for Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1380 for c more complete discussion of the problem.

| there is a waiting list of more than two and one half million cattle whose owners desire to have them tested at soon as practicable. Os the 642,f1tr2 cattle tested in October there were 24.440 which reacted to the test. Indicating that ‘hey were tuberculous. Such animals are immediately disposed of in accordance with regulations for the prevention of their acting as spreaders of the infection of tuberculosis. Increase of Roup Although roup is an all-year-round disease, the worst epidemics come with the shifting weather conditions of fail and spring. The disease causes considerable loss and appears to be Increasing from year to year. The true roup Includes colds, bronchitis. catarrh, canker, diphtheria roup proper, and perhaps chicken pox. It usually comes with colds which start when the birds have been exposed to dampness. drafts and chill. Prune the Fruit Trees Young trees, fruit or shade trees, require attention ‘very season. The pruning knife should be used quite liberally if the best result? are de- । sired. There is no doubt that the fruit trees which are headed low prove more satisfactory. They are easier to get at when prun’ng, spraying and finally when picking the fruit, Crape vines require the same attention, early in the spring. eglhsf Cows do not enjoy moldy silage, and it makes horses sick. • • * Semi-solid buttermilk is a valuable poultry feed, especially when there is no home supply of sour milk or buttermilk. • • • Does the snow sift in on the workbench and tools in your shop or garage? Melted snow is water, and water rusts. ♦ • * The horticulturist of the Dominion of Canada has kept well for 26 years by eating 8 to 16 apples a day, he told members of the state horticultural society at a recent banquet. • • • Twenty-eight years ago the farmers of Denmark formed the Danish Cooperative Egg Export association which has revolutionized their egg trade and changed production from a precarious, unprofitable business to a prosperous industry of remarkable stability. • * * It is not denied that the robins and some other birds eat the cherries and berries. They also eat the cabbage and other vegetable worms. In fact, they like the worms better than they do the fruit. Even the sparrows are ' valuable when the cabbage worm season is at its height. • * * There is little danger of the email gardener overdoing the fertilizing of his soil. The richer the soil the better for the majority of vegetables and flowering plants. It is well at all times to save any kind of fertilizer or anything that can be developed into fertilizer and apply it where most needed.
