The city is growing so fast that it counties usually reeogrized as con­ stituting the Miami Valley, will be close to, or greater, than '25,000,000 bushels. A t present prices; this crop will produce a money value o f near $20,000,000. I f fe d into bogs and cattle, as most o f the crop in this section is disposed of, the cash re turns will be practically 40 per cent ■more. ■ No wonjier bankers and ‘all lines o f business are cheerful when they contemplate the ‘ effect on business Miami Valley agriculture will have this fall. Already there is a noticeable growth in business. Day- t<n bankers regard a report issuet by Chicago banks as encouraging in the extreme. In that city the sti­ mulus has been fe lt .for some time, and reports from ' correspondent banks throughout the -Middle West in­ dicate a belief that ,the volume o f business will grow more and more the rest o f the year. The direct cause back o f this better situation, is the improved state o f agriculture. The severe period » f readjustment through which agriculture has been passing is ap preaching completion and the future looks unmistakably bright. ' The good report sent out b y Chi- . cago is no brighter ‘ than Dayton bankers aae able to make. Hei-e at home, conditions .on the farm are quickly reflected, in business circles, and as the farmer thrives, our city merchant and the village stores share in. his prosperity. An incomplete survey o f conditions On the farms in southwestern Ohio, disclose the most encouraging situa­ tion known in years. * iCorn is n o t all the story, b y any means. It is only a' start. Practically every crop grown in the state can be profitably grown in the Miami Valley. No failure o f any crop in this section' has been reported up to tbis time. The great crops grown here, the ones which must be depended on to re­ turn to the farmers the substantial Sums required in hid business, are live-stock, com , -wheat, tobacco and hay. The volume o f production o f these staple crops is subject to variation from year to year, but as an average they constitute the reliable sources o f income fo r farmers . Production volume alone, seldom measures the cash return -to the farmer. . For instance, in. the case o f com , in 1396 the average yield per acre o f corn was 41 bushels, ttand the •total yield in the state was 123,- 000,000 bushels, The average farm price that year, 1890, w’as 21 cents a bushel, -which gave a total value o f the crop that year o f $25,000,- 000. In 1923 the average yield of com the state over was 41 bushels per- acre. The 'total production was 159,000,000 bushels, and the farm price 74 cents a bushel. The total cash return from com ih 1923 wan “$118,000^000. In 1924, the average yield was only 28 htehels per. acre, the total production, 04,000,000 bushels, and the farm value $1.04pdr bushel. The total value o f the Ohio corn crop ih 1924 was nearly $100,000,000, near­ ly four times the value at the 1896 crop. Puch conditions agriculture meets continually throughout the years, but this season production and prices are both high and the volume o f returns from corn alone in the Ml- tiguous to Dayton, and from which j “ ow talking o f moving i t a fourth Dayton business houses draw a heavy volume o f trade, is prodigious, Darke co., alone, in 1925 had more than '80,000. head, and l#d all coun­ ties in the state fo r numbers: Preble co. was- second, with more- than" 75, 000 head; Greene iwas third with nearly 70,000; Fayette fourth, with 67,000 with 'Champaign and. Clark counties trailing not fa r behind. With this volume o f production, at pre­ sent prices, the total amount o f cash distributed to the farmers will reach a very considerable sum Notwithstanding' the precarious nature o f the industry, tobacco pro­ duction is a leading industry in at least five counties in. the Miami Val­ ley. This year the acreage is about 15 per cent less than' in 1924, bqt the crop never was so promising as now. Experienced tobacco men say they have never known a season when tobacco thrived so continuously the season, andi never knew a year' when the prospect f o r a heavy, -high quality yield was as bright as now. With a full crop . o f high-grade tobacco, Miami Valley farmers will realize, at probably lower prices, a sum in excess o f $19,900,000, which pr tired into the current o f retail trade and banking will have a per­ ceptible effect on- conditions locally The hay crop alone fails to job: the group o f better-than-average crops.’ While the yield is expected to be shorter than in average years, nevertheless the aggregate yield and value will,.be no inconsiderable item when the accounts are cast up at the end o f the year. Agriculture in. the Miami Valley is in better condition than for many years, and farmer* are more than encouraged, they are happy in the certainty o f being able to pay a lot on what they may owe, and have much left fo r current needs. There has been .much talk about the heavy debts farmers are carry­ ing. Iti is tdoubtful i f farmers throughput this section are any more heavily encumbered than they us­ ually are, Therq has never been a ’.imo when some farmers were not in debt, many o f them beyond their ability to pay. On the other band the same can be said about men. in commercial lines, and the latter ate surely mak­ ing louder complaint just now than farmers. The truth is some farmers are hopelessly in debt, but the gen­ eral rhn o f men in the agricultural industry, through sane management and careful attention to their busi­ ness, are in a secure position fin­ ancially, and have reason to expect prosperous conditions. It is certain that not many o f them are discour­ aged to the point o f abandoning e f­ forts to carry, on. Doubtless a con­ siderable number have decided to leave the farm, but not all o f them made up their minds to do 3o because they were not able to hold on. Some prefer to retire from the active work o f the farm, others believe they can jotter their condition in town, and in both cases the matter is their own rosiness. Things agriculturally throughout tho Miami Valley are encouraging, and bankers and business people who lave given thought to the situation, are firm in* their belief that the great­ ly improved conditions on the farm will exert a heavy influence on fall trade. time to get it farther out from the city, Mr, Weimer writes that he sees Charles Hannabqrry, formerly o f this place, about every day, as well as other •Ohio people, who are in Florida by the thousands. It is al­ most impossible to accommodate the crowds now, which are greater than in midwinter. ■■■'•■ FIRSTjj H E *1 arUjl ■ T oney The first instalAmfl the gasoline tax money for KHage was re- ceived by J.

From the dis­ tribution it will be evident to all that the teachers load is quite well distrib­ uted and that it is uniformly heavy. With such a load on the teachers the very heartiest cooperation in homes o f the-community will be necessary in order that all pupils may have the jess possible chance fo r the year. No pupil will be able to do all of ns work as he should do it in tho school building and during the day, Home study will be essential and each parent should qssame his obli­ gation at once to see that in bis homo a certain amount o f work is done each evening. I f the parents will do this and will drop in at the building ofter, :o consult teachers about the work of their children! we feel sure that quite a profitable year may be anticipated. The High School load is not quite so easily observed as that o f the grades but with the enrollment o f 114 pupils to statt with the load is ex­ ceedingly heavy. In this line o f work even more than in the work o f the grades the pupils will not be able to do the kind o f work which they should without doing considerable studying at home during the evening. I f pa­ rents and others who have to do with High School students will see to it that the pupils do regular work at home o f evenings the pupil will find that he has profited considerably be­ fore the end o f the year.
