Several explanations trace the origin of Hoosier from the term Who’s here to hoosier soldiers. Historians cite Finley’s 1830 poem as an early use, with other theories linking to husher a strong fighter, Hussar mispronunciation, a river family name, or Hoosier cookie customers.

White Sands Dunes Made of Gypsum Not Sand
The White Sands area in New Mexico is formed not from quartz sand but gypsum crystals. Gypsum originates from alkali lakes and ground water, surfaces as crystals when water evaporates, and is blown into rippled dunes reaching up to 100 feet high. The 30 mile dune field shifts about eight inches yearly toward Alamogordo.

Crowded Inns and the Origin of the Word Purse
The Fourteenth century tale explains the link between crowded Venetian inns and the term purse. Venetians trading spices to Bruges used the house of a Dutch merchant Van den Purse as their business HQ. From these British and Dutch dealings the word money bag faded and purse spread to markets where large money transactions occurred.

A notorious strait off the northwest coast of Norway between Moskenes and Mosken in the Lofoten Islands is described as a strong current rather than a whirlpool. The current reverses every six hours, producing loud whirls at changeovers, and while navigable in calm weather it becomes dangerous with northwest winds. Depth runs a little over one hundred feet.

Farming It by Willard Bolte
Upper sketch describes furrow irrigation on a 5 acre Missouri hillside pasture using a tractor and two 14 inch plows costing 25 cents for gas and oil. The method drops earth downhill with dams every 50 feet and furrow spacing about 12 feet. The article also notes a Michigan Experiment Station apple pruning method from five years ago that removes center wood to improve yield and cash returns by about 20 percent. It also details a temporary silo built from cribbing or wire fence with air excluding paper lining and irrigating water from a 150 foot well driven by a tractor and 500 gallon pump, noting four irrigations cost one dollar per acre and yielded 40 bushels of corn per acre, compared with a failure on adjacent land.
