head of the department of agricultuial chemistry at the Purdue University Experiment Station, versify Experiment Station. During the war and immediately following the war, farmers learned that they must order ayd accept their fertilizer early in order to be sure of having it when needed. There seems to be a prevailing impression at present that they can wait until seeding time to procure their fertilizer requirements. The limited storage space in fertilizer plants makes it necessary to clear out some o’l the fertilizer on hand so that fanufacturing can continue in an orderly manner. Farmers who expect to use fertilizer on their fall grains should take immediate steps to get the fertilizer delivered to their farms, Dr. Quackenbush warned. MARVELOUS INDEED We have always been amazed by the something or other in a woman who can hurry through a department store aisle 18 inches wide without brushing against the piledup glassware, and then will drive home and knock the door off a 12foot garage!

Legion Aux. Makes Plans for Coming Season The American legion Auxiliary is striving for 1(H) p< r cent membership. They are meeting in the homes of members and have ph lined a very interesting program, one that will kelp the community, state and nation. One of the projects is to furnish a cot for the sick room at the grade school building to be presented when school opens. This project comes under the Child Welfare Program. Any suggestions on child welfare will be appreciated. If public interest is sufficiently aroused the Auxiliary plans to have movies and lectures on T. B. and Cancer Control. Monthly dances are also being discussed; also some good, old-fashioned pot-luck and box socials. Knightstown Picnic Successful The annual Knightstown Home picnic was a huge success. The Home is maintained for the children of Indiana’s Soldiers and Sailors who need a home. Each district in the Auxiliary sponsors a division at the home. Our district has a division of 24 boys, whose age ranges from 10 to 14 years. Each unit sponsors one boy. Our unit has sent clothing and spending money to our boy and furnished gifts for him and others on their birthdays and at Christmas time. Marion Hospital Helped This year oflr Unit again went to the Marion hospital and helped with a big party for the unfortunates housed there. Connie Lawrence, Ronnie Grenert and Paul Donaghue, along with Mrs. David Lawrence, furnished part of the entertainment and were greatly appreciated. Installation of our new officers will be held in September and this event will be open to the public. We are planning a nice evening of entertainment, and refreshments will be served. District officers will do the installing. This is one of the big nights in our social calendar, and we wish to extend a cordial invitation to the public to attend. Our last meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Oren Shuler with Mildred Daniels assisting. Delicious refreshments were served after the meeting. The next regular meeting will be Thursday. Se'pt. 8, at 8:00 p. m. at the home of Mrs. Nellie Wolfenberger. 1409A Ohio St., with Mrs. Bertra Vanderberghe assisting. The Auxiliary wants to thank Mrs. Anna Cox and Sammy who entertained Carl Bellman of the Knightstown Home. Carl is nine years old and enjoyed a month’s vacation at the Cox home. Tomato Growing Gets Help from Science New high yielding* hybrid tomatoes, wilt resistance varieties, growth promoting treatments for early maturity and wilt resistance are some of the developments coming to the aid of the Indiana tomato growers . Recently fieldmen for Indiana canneries were invited to tour the experimental vegetable crop fields of Purdue University to see some developments which in a few years are expected to be ready for field trials and for the canneries or gardeners. The tour was directed by Roscoe Fraser, extension horticulturist. Among the new practices which show promise is the use of hormones, chemical compounds which speed growth of the plant, and consequently bring the crop to market earlier than usual. The trials were carried on by Clyde Singletary who explained that two commercial hormones now on the market were used in sprays which also contained the fngicide parzate. The Rutgers variety when treated produced tomatoes ready for market at the same time as the well knonw Earlyanna varieties, and furthermore increased the yield approximately fourfold as compared with the untreated Rutgers plots. Results of treatment on a nmber of the new hybrids also increased yields materially. No woman should permit herself to become so fat that she has to be hugged on the installment plan.
