Plant expert Dr. Dono van Correll of the United States department of agriculture says vanilla, sourced from an orchid grown for its fruit, is the world’s most important flavoring substance contributed by the Americas.

Garden Tips From Iowa State College
Garden tip explains controlling common garden insects with insecticides especially rotenone dust. Warns against eating treated produce until safe, notes checking for fenone on labels. Advises on Bordeaux or calcium sulfate-sulphur dusts for tomatoes and defines weeds as non productive plants. Recommends thinning seedlings to give space for crops to develop fully.

In letters and notices many area service personnel are listed. Lt Russell H Miller returned home for a three week leave to visit his parents in Crawfordsville after eight months as a bombardier on a B24 Liberator with the 151 AAF.
