Dell Hardy Owner Photo Quiz Farm Third Generation

Back In the early 1860's a young man named Robert Hardy ca.*t« to this part of the country fn. a Canada looking over territoi* north and east of Lowell in searcB of a place for a permanent home. He chose a corner forty in Keene township which was level and fet-tle with plenty of woodlot and an Ideal spot for a home. He pur-chased It from the government cleared the land and built a house and barn.

The picture in the Ledger last week shows the Hardy farm which has been in the family all down through the years and is owned to-day by Delbert Hardy, a grandson.

The present prosperous condition of the farm was not accomplished without hardship. Tho original house burned and the forty acres was too small for this energetic young man ao he acquired 120 acres across the road and erected a new set of buildings on this place To get money for building ho hauled loose hay with team and aleigha to Rdmoie and Bhnchard where there was a market for the hay.

Later his son, George, became owner o r the place which was known as "Meadow Bank." George raised a family of four stalwart sons who lived on the farm until they went out to make homes for themselves, his son. Dell, remain-ing on the homestead when his par-ents retired.

Dell kei-ps about 15 Holsteln grade mllkern and some forty feed-ing cattle and has twenty little calves which he feeds from a pall. He has a team of horses which hs prefers for his part of the farming, and a tractor for the boys who work not only the 160 but also an adjoining farm of 60 acres belong-ing to his sons. George and Robert

They raise a lot of corn (80 acres last > >ar);. have 12 acres of alfalfa and a large field of clover which they bale with their own baler.

Mrs. Hardy Is the former Loulae Wlngeler, a daughter of Fred O. Wlngeler of Vergennes. and they have three children. Mrs. Lucille Riggle. George and Robert Hardy, four granddaughters and a grand-son. Both arc members of Keene Grange and Dell is a member of Boston Lodge. F. St A. M* at Sar-anac.

Their buildings consist of the 2-story house, two large barns, silo, hog house and poultry house. Electricity was installed at the farm about 20 years ago and run-ning water piped to all buildings. Recently the house was repainted on the outside, new windows put in. and redecorated inside, also one of the barns Improved.

There are two large pine trees still standing near the corncr of the house and many stately elms ab( ut the place.

The Hardy family Is well known in the community where they have always lived and Dell says he may be about the only democrat left in Keene township, but he is carrying out the tradition started nearly 100 years ago and la keeping the farm under democratic ownership.

Plan letter Fishing For Warm Water Lakes

Better flahlng on warm water lakes of southern Michigan Is the goal of an expanded conservation department research program.

Just aa the aclentlflc approach haa paid off In Improved trout flah-i Ing upstate, the department hopes that It will result In improved bass and pan fishing in downstate waters.

The department 's Institute for fisheries research a t Ann Arbor haa added Dr. Frank F. Hooper to Its staff to set up the new research program.

Research of department techni-cians led several years ago to re-duced production of warm water fishes In downstate hatcheries and release of young fish in lakes ex-cept where losses have occurred aa the result of poisoning or winter kill or where a species is being In-troduced.

Michigan haa gained wide recog-nition for its pioneering work in fish management and In 1938 the department published a bulletin on the Improvement of lakes for fish-ing that haa exerted much influ-ence.

For the welfare of Michigan's agriculture officials of Michigan State College have requested an appropriation from the State Legis-lature so that construction may begin on this proposed animal in-dustries building.

The structure which the college requests will house in one building ths departments of animal hus-bandry, dairy, and poultry hus-bandry, with fully equipped facil-ities for teaching and research. College officials point out that such a building will economise on

construction costs, make usa of an excellent building site available, and help to coordinate the closely related projects of the three de-partments.

The current dairy building, built in 1918 was the last major building constructed for teaching and re-search In the livestock Industries at M. S. C. Animal husbandry of-fices are located In Agricultural ball, constructed In 1909. Poultry offices are located In a temporary classroom building on South Cam-pus.

These three departments serve the state's livestock Industries

which produce two-thirds of the agricultural Inooms of Mlehlgi Present faclliUea (or these Impor-tant departments are Inadequate M. S. C. officials point out.

Agricultural leaders of the state recognise the importance of ade-quate facilities to train young men aad women for agricultural occu-pations. Research will mean bet-ter meat, dairy and poultry pro-ducts for every Michigan con-sumer.

Michigan State College has slso requested a legislative appropria-tion so that construction may be-gin on a new library.

John Gardner Joins the Fords

In Washington It Is pretty much taken for

granted that a weekly columnist has very little chance to "scoop" anyone. At best, he hopes to cap-tivate readers with a new twist to the old facts. Bearing in mind the fact that the dally newspapers'have spread the news long ago. I wonder how one goes about editorializing on the birth of a new son!

Little John Gardner Joined Betty. Mike and me last week Sunday morning, weighing in at 6 lbs. IB oi. So now mom. pop and big brother Join forces to give young Johnny an assist in facing the big problem of growing up.

We all want to thank our friends who sent their congratulations at thia time. It gives a kind of ex-tra special warmth to the occasion when your friends Join In to share the good news. One greeting struck a practical note in the midst of all heso profuse rejoicings: "Jerry,

think you'll find that the cost of raising another dependent these days comes to far more than the government allows In tax exemp-tions." You see! They do catch you coming and going!

Pandemonium of the week: lifted the telephone receiver to call the Treasury Department for some information about Defense bonds. The operator snapped the familiar "Capitol" j n d I went through the customary pc^cedure of code num-bers, extensions, etc. The next few hectic moments, I reflected later, were also not an uncommon occur-rence. I was transferred to no less than eight different sections of the same department, spoke to eight v a r i o u s squeaky-voiced, gruff drawling, patronizing secretaries, each of whom knew exactly where

could get my information, then promptly switched me to someone else who In turn passed me on to another. After about ten minutes of this process, my patience gave up the ghost when, an understand Ing soul (number eight) offered to relieve me of my burden and call me when she had found the infor-mation.

Weary, shaken and bewildered I set this experience up against the .'resident's proposed personnel ex panslon in almost every govern ment agency. From where I sit It looks Just like a wee bit too much specialization already.

Another example of tuls same type of excess comes from a recent Budget Bureau release which cal-culated that 8.632 government press agents blow the Truman bugle, costing an outlay of over 17-mlllloo dollars of your tax money each year. Have you heard enough of the Administration "tootera" or should these 8,632 press agents con-tinue to shower you with their ex-pensive publicity? Frankly, It ap-pears that Congress Is fed up with this situation and as a result there may well be some ex-government'--""'*" public relations experts out In the j L , . cold trying to build up a little pro- -paganda on their own bihalf.

Congress, Mr. Morris has been an-tagonistic to say the least. In ad-dition, fuel was added to the flame by the revelations before a Senate investigating committee that Mr. Morris and his New York law firm were $100,000 beneficiaries in legal fees for the unusual ship-sale deals following World War U.

The House and Senate Tindoubt-edly will ' tu rn down the unusual powers the President wants for his "puppet" Why? Because most of the members of Congress honestly feel that Mr. Morria Is emotionally unstable, naive to the extreme and •nly duplicating the investigations which Congress has pursued suc-cessfully for over a year.

Defenso Moblilzer Charles E. Wil-son last week brought good and long overdue news to harassed consumers. According to OPS authorities and probably in spite of them, declining wholesale prices will soon begin to have their effect on retail prices. Restrictions on producers of consumer goods arc slowly being relaxed so that with more consumer goods available, competition will continue to force prices down, particularly if Con-gress can reduce the President's outrageously extravagant federal budget. Looks like a bright spot on the economic horizon and one always likes to leave looking toward brighter prospecta.

ent A g . l op ics Notes from Kent Co. Exten. Office

Agriculture The combine has caused numer-

ous problems In the handling of our small grains, not the least of which is the injury to germination of the seeds. With oat sewing time Just around the corner It might be smart Idea to get a germination test. Count out a hundred seeds of seeds you Intend to plant. Place them between moist blotter paper or cloths, and set In a warm room for two or three days when you can count live seeds. Anything be-low 66% Is poor. Too much moist-ure when the oats are combined Is the main trouble, causing them to heat or mold and hurt germinatlo^i

After missing two weeks due to the county institute and being chairman of local arrangements for the Michigan Rural Teachers con-vention in the Civic Auditorium, am glad to get back as near as pos-sible to normal and write this col umn again.

Colonel Kincald recently called my attention to a proclamation that may be of interest to high achool graduates and their parents Briefly the proclamation states that any person between 17 and 18 years 6 months of age may enlist In the National Guard prior to in ddction orders and be deferred from the draft as long as they at-tend one drill per week and two weeks summer camp. If Interested call 9-3806.

I have recefved a letter from Michigan State College inviting senior high teachera and their pu plls to the annual International Festival a t Jenlson Field House on Friday, April 28 from 9 a. m. to 11 p. -tn. Foreign students from all Michigan Colleges are invited and this provides an unusual oppor-tunity for high school pupils to meet many foreign s t u d e n t s . Booths are provided for about fifty different national groups.

Some'changes have been neces-sary and I hope that all county papers will print our music re-hearsal schedule for this month which Is as follows:

Tueeday, March 26, 9:00 a. m.. Lowell; 1:80 p. m., Ada.

Wedneaday, March 36. 1:80 p. aa., Townllne.

Thursday, March 27, 1:80 pi m..

Even though Mr. Truman was mighty tardy about taking any action to throw the "bums and hanger-ons" out of the Federal government, the belated appointment of a corruption hdht-er waa a step In the right direction. Newbold Morris with a little tact and aagaclty, could have stepped in and helped the Congress weed out the grafters that seem to luric la the retinue of most of the agency "political blg-wlgs" in the nation's capital.

Discussed Hood Control I My Gerald

If my mall hasn't been answered as promptly as usual It's only because of the long hours spent listening to witnesses before the com mlttee on Appropriations. Finally, my sijbcommlttee on Appropri-ations after eight long weeks of hearings pulled down the curtain on witnesses. 119 members of Con-gress plus 320 outside witnesses from Maine to Florida, from Cali-fornia to South Carolina argued day after day that we, the "stingy five" should literally open the fed-eral treasury for flood control and harbor developments all over the U. 8.

Our subcommittee wlU -mark up the bill very soon. It's no easy job sifting out the unnecessary projects that can be deferred during the Korean War. Last year we cut $126 Million (20%) from the Pres-ident's budget on these Items. I hope the same result can be re-ported this year.

Rheumatic Fever May Be Cause of

Damaged Heart RheumaUc fever is one of Mich-

igan's most dangerous diseases among school children, and each year takes the Uvea of more young-sters of school age than any other disease, the Michigan Department of Health said today.

The great danger from rheu-matic fever is a damaged heart, which causes disability In varying degrees throughout life.

Rheumatic fever Is not conald ered a contagious disease, but It flourishes in cold damp weather, under crowded living conditions and among children who are under-nourished or who do not get proper rest It often follows scarlet fever, a "strep" sore throat or a "bad cold."

Rheumatic fever In Its early stages Is not always easily recog-nired. The symptoms may be vague, including poor appetite, re-peated nosebleeds, low unexplained persistent fever, rapid heart action or frequent complaints ot pain In the armtf; legs and abdomen. Other symptoms may be nervous twitch-ing, small lumps under the akin, painful and Inflamed Joints. Any or all of these signs demand the Immediate attention of a physician If heart damage l i to be avoided or at least minimized.

To aid physicians tn diagnosis and management of the disease, i the Michigan State Medical Society has established Rheumatic Fever Diagnostic and Consultation cen-ters throughout the state.

Bed rest, perhaps for months, is often essential for protection of the heart of the rheumatic fever pa-tient. Doctors' orders must be car-ried out to the letter. And when a child Is allowed to get up, his ac-tivities must be guided within pre-scribed limits if heart damage has occurred.

Not all attacks of rheumatic fever result In heart damage. But parents should take no chances. It Is estimated that more than 50,000 adults in the state are now suffer-ing from heart defects as a result of childhood rheumatic fever.

Thres Inches of Snow | While native Washlngtonlans grumble and gripe we Michlgan-ders feel right at home with all the snow. The wet soggy stuff began falling last week and we've been having regular Michigan weather ever since. Snow shovelera from way back, we take all thia In our strld • and with superior airs watch our uninitiated Washington friends sputter and Cume over stalled cars and traffic jams.

I can still remember the 55 Inch-es of snow which fell on Western Michigan just over the Christmas season and I understand from our visitors from Michigan and the newspapers that there has been plenty more. Washington haa had at least three Inches of snow! What

winter!

Michigan Princess Chosen The Michigan princess was chos-

eA last week at a luncheon hero In Washington sponsored by the Mich-igan State Association. She will represent Michigan in the Cherry Blosaon Festival the first week in April and will compete with girls from each of the other states for the honor of Queen of the Festival.

Both of our Michigan Senators and their wives as well aa many other Michigan dignitaries were present for the occasion.

Investigators Not Quitting If the King subcommittee Inves-

tigating scandals in the Internal Revenue Bureau had any notions about folding their tents, they most definitely have reconsidered.

No sooner had the committee set out for their Califurr.i . Investiga-tions several weeks ago when Treasury Secretary Snyder and his cohorts tried to slip In with a half-hearted probe In New York for the sole purpose of "stifling" the com-mittee's scrutiny of the New York tax bureau situation.

Chairman King said he and his committee colleagues are now mote determined than ever not to quit and it looks as though they're out for Administration blood this time.

To Unravel Postal Snag The snag in the recent postal

rate readjustment act which upped the price of single and double post-al cards has been unraveled. Last week an amendment to the law to remove the 10% surcharge on cards purchased in quantities of 50 or more passed both the House and the Senate.

In January of 1952 I introduced a bill to remedy this injustice In the Post Office Department. Plain-ly thia practice was directly In re-verse of the customary American buying policy. Usually the greater quantity of a certain Item pur-chased, the less it coats.

This unwarranted provision which somehow slipped Into the law last year was defeating its own purpoae inasmuch as the public, In order to escape the aurchaxge made numerous repeated purchases of 49 or less.

Needless to say, both Post Office clerks and their patrons will be elated to sec this odd bit of legisla-tion bounced.

State WiH Pay Says J. 6. Martin

Auditor General A great msny questions have

come to me within recent weeks regarding the condition of State finances. The question most fre-quently asked is, "Will the State be able to pay Its bills, meet Its payrolls and make tho necessary distributions to schools and local units of government?" The an-swer Is that over the next few months, to the end of the fiscal year, we will be able to make all required payments, though at two or three critical dates, It may be necessary for us to delay payments for a few days until additional revenue accumulates. Those who receive payments from the State, whether receiving public assistance or school money or payments for Items sold to the State or salaries, can bo assured that they will be paid In every Instance.

The present difficulties arise from the fact that our cash bal-ance, which fluctuated between 35 and 60 million dollars a year ago, la now fluctuating between 30 mil-lion and 5 million. Some of the payments are as large as 20 mil-lion dollars in a single payment and the &vail%ble cash balance will, at times, be less than this. This is particularly true on the 16th of March and the 15th of May but the over-all total of cash receipts com-ing in during the next few months will be sufficient to cover all amounts owed, with possible slight delays at the critical dates men-tioned.

Additional Cuts Necessary It Is going to he necessary for

the Legislature to make additional cuts in expenditure or raise addi-tional revenue for the next fiscal year. Otherwise the steadily In-creasing deficit will cut our cash reserve to a poli\t where we will not be able to make the necessary payments and distribution. This is a matter pn which the Legisla-ture is now working and I have every confidence that they will ar-rive at solutions which will be ac-ceptable to the people.

I believe m a t government, like business, ought to practice econ-omy In the interest of the taxpay-er and tha t savings ought to be made wherever possible. When • have made all the savings which can be achieved, It Is easentlal to cover any gap between revenue and outgo by raising additional revenue to keep the State from ac-cumulating any, further deficit This is what is called "Pay As You Go Goveriynent" and I think It is the only way to run a government

As I write this, down the hall In the House Armr.,1 Services Sub-committee chamber. Chairman He-bert and his colleagues are firing questions with machlne-gtm speed at a rather apprehensive Admiral Charles W. Fox.

Earlier last week Admiral Fox marched into the hearing room with his own exhibit under his arm. A series of drawings or post-ers showing the Navy's activities in standardizing procurement his an-swer to the "chamber of horrors; was all but laughed out of the com-mittee chamber. And yet a car-toon in a Washington paper recent-ly depicted Chairman Hebert being flung around on the tail of a tiger representing the Pentagon.

It would Indicate that even though the committee seems to have the upper hand at this point there are a good deal of misgivings as to what power the committee ac-tually will have to curb waste once it has been exposed. A substantial cut in military appropriations might a w a k e n the Pentagon "brass."

Once-Over Tillage Equipment Simple

Charles Bruffy, of the MSG soils science department, examines Important features of equipment for once-over tillage which Is not a complicated affair. This drill was adapted in the college s agricul-tural engineering laboratories to fit the needs of once-over tillage. Parts indicated in white were added to the original drill.

A spike tooth drag levels the soli Just before planting. Adjust-able sweeps fill In the depressions made by the tractor wheels. A me-chanical lift controls both the disks and drag from the same lever.

Other features Include a clutch which engages or disengages the grass seeder while grain Is being planted. Grass seed delivery tubes place grass seed directly above the fertilizer bands, resulting In uni-form depth of planting.

Plans for the added features can be secured from the -Michigan State Gollege agricultural engineering department. East Lansing, Michigan. A charge of 16 cents Is made for the plans to cover cost of preparation.

Maintains Soil Structures Testa conducted In various loca-

tions with several crops which bear out the value of once-over tillage. Oata planted by plowing, disking and harrowing twice gave a yield of 76.6 bushels. Once-over tillage consisting of plowing followed by a plow press drill gave an oats yield of 77J5 bushels per acre.

Gorn planted after five opera-tions, consisting of a plow with sub-bases, disk, and twice over with a harrow, gave 64.3 bushels to the acre. Once-over operation with a plow and attached cultlmulcfier gave the same yield of 64.3 bushels of corn peracre. *

In all cases, the once-over oper-ations resu'ted In fewer trips and consequently maintained soil struc-tures.

Saves in Costs • In these times of high costs,

money savings are another Import-ant advantage of once-over tillage. At current rates for custom work, the conventional method of tillage could cost |4.0(Han acre for plow-ing; |1,80 for disking once; $1.60 for dragging once; and |L60 for drilling—a total of $8.60 per acre for getting a crop Into the ground,

"Rough handling and exciting of hens often re-duces egg production.

"Egg production is cut 25% when feed con-sumption is reduced '/a.

"Experiments indicate that the death rate of chickens can be cut in half by the feeding of antibiotics in feed and that turkeys, which are particularly sensitive to disease, respond In a similar way.

"Antibiotics can hasten the date that a pullet starts laying by about 15 days".
