Ohioans of the north will be encour- aged to visit the picturesque hill country of the south. Ohioans of the south will be urged to visit the -lakes of the north,-aiid so on. But to this particular case-leaders of too league -are.begging Ohio mo­ torist.to set Aside at leafet .one day during."Know ,Qhio Week,” and visit Utete -institution. The motorist, likejevery.other citizen, takes.his turn in .damning the government and wondering where the public money goes. Why-not.one day in a year to find out? Ohio owns-nearly 14,000 acres of ground apportioned into around twenty-five institutions. The state has,expended in building these insti­ tutions a total of $32,§89,9?8.67 to im­ provements and.grounds. What .they are, what they-aim to do, how it is being ’done, and the remarkable re­ sults sattained is. a study worthy of any intelligent citizen. Because these institutions have -been operating s6 mapy years we ratoer take them for granted, and the great mas? of us who never,are.bound to them by bonds of personal-interest do not-realize the wealth of human interest and educa­ tion, which is'to be found., Aa they are -public- institutions they constantly are open to the public. All havO cer­ tain waiting hours, and these vary greatly. So,' -before starting, one needs to -learn the visiting hour? of he particular institution in mind, if ie plans-on a complete trip through he institution.

Of course, while to Columbus don’t fail to see Ohio State University, one of the nation’s pant colieges, and other points of interest are the old state arsenal, the Ohio State Fair Grounds, and the various state departments Which fill several office buildings.

" Let anyone interested in the sub­ ject of- wheat get the May number of Farm and Fireside and read the illustrated articles entitled, “The Big­ gest Wheat Farmer Gives Us His Ideas.” ’ Last year, Thomas D. Campbell, to Montana, produced over 600.000 bushels of wheat—his -seventh pro­ fitable crop to our seven years of “depression.” Reference will be made here to only two of his common sense-ideas. “One of our troubles as farmers,1 says Mr. Campbell, “is that we don't always get the real facts on which to base our opinions. We entertain prejudices that the truth won’t sup­ port.” . Brief comment on this statement is that pqr prejudices^and common ignor­ ance of the real facts are largely due to the misrepresentations of unscrup­ ulous politicians desperately trying to capitalize the depression in agricul­ ture to get votes. Applying a rgal fact to a tender spot Mr. Campbell says: “The price-fixing during the war is still resented. The fact ia that the committee acted wisely, for the,allied plans for pooling their buying would have'forced our prices below the mini­ mum that was set by the committee.” With these few words, disposing, of the deception practiced on farmers by small'politicians, the largest wheat, grower to the world absolutely justi­ fies the action, of the committee taken in August,1917, to raise and stabilize the price of wheat. Sometime before this date, to order to insure abundant food production for the war period, congress had fixed the government minimum price for the 1918 crop at $2 a bushel at, Chica­ go. The committee recommended a ligher price, $2.20 a bushel for toe basic grade—No. 1 northern spring note the years addmarket term named here. For those who may he able to read understanding^ it-may .be, necessary to explain that the price named above didnot mean the same price for every grade and kind of wheat, nor the same price in every local market. In war time the trade paid more for the higher and less for the lower grades than the pri^e of the basic grade.'Thi? basic grade is not the highest grade. For illustration: May 1st, this year the price of No. 1 northern at Chicago was <$1.70 3-4, and the price, of No* 1 hard was $1.74 1-2. On the same date the price of No- 2 red was $2.10 at' Kansas City, and $2.27 at Toledo. One war year I sold a crop of No, 3 red winter wheat in Urbana for $2.16 a bushel; at that time the terminal market,price was $2,26—6 cents above the price of the basic grade. The climate of Ohio is not very favorable for spring small grains; and yields vary, widely with our summer seasons. Under exceptional conditions oats, for example, have yielded around 160 bushels to the acre; more fre­ quently the yield has fallen below SO, Winter wheat is a more reliable crop than spring wheat; however « number of farmers to Champaign county have used it successfully1as a catch crop after the winter-killing of fall-sown wheat. Three-years ago one of them had a fair yield of 23 1-2 bushels to the acre, and sold the crop at a prem­ ium of several cents a bushel over the price of the common crop. This year the same farmer bought and *oW- t>d 100 bushels Of Canadian hard spring wheat. The yield will depend on the season. Present prospects im dicate that this crop will bring in more dollars than Oats or barley. Scandalous profiteering Went on with increasing speed during the War; doubtless, some bootlegging in wheat was part of it. The politicians’ ap­ peal to farmers now that they might have had some benefit from this notorious profiteering several year* ago if only wheat had gone to $2 a bushel, or more, is not merely demagogic appeal to greed but also a complete fallacy, as events after the war ended have full demonstrated. , By the way, some of that plunder­ ing is still going on. Compare the value of the wheat in ft loaf of bread with the price of the loaf, taking Into consideration that a full pound loaf can be made out of less than toft ounces of fiour and more than six ounces of water, with gas enough 1ft the rising to stretch the elastic dough made from hard wheat flour to its ut­ most limit to make the size o f the loaf look big. And, compare toe price of hog with the price of store sau­ sage; taking into consideration that some dealers make 100; pounds of ^(Cmtinued '^ 'm i S S r One girl lost her life and five oilier? were injured in a fire which broke out in Wpodlawn Hall, girls’ dormitory at Wittenberg College, Springfield, early Tuesday morning. Hilda SpieB, YI0, of Shelby, was trapped in a Wrehroom while trying to escape* She was.overcome with smoke and was dead when found. Helen McClain of Troy was severe­ ly hurt about toe back. * Origin of the fire was undeter mined. About 20 girls lived at the flomi tory. They escaped from toe burning building by sliding down sheets and improvised ropes from the second floor of the dormitory. W ittenberg Tossers Defeat Cedarville Dutch Trautwein’s Wittenberg base­ ball tossers fell on the offerings of three Cedarville pitchers yesterday afternoon and marked up a 17 to 7 ■victory. The game was played at Zimmerman -field before" a fair-sized crowd, Knotts pitched the entire game for the Lutherans. The Cardinal and Cream boys got to Adair, starting pitcher, to the initial inning and four runs crossed the' plate. Adair settled down And held the Lutherans scoreless for the next two .innings but again started the slaughter in toe fourth. NagTey, who relieved him, was-just as ineffective’ and seven. Cardinal and Cream clad runn?ds crossed,, the pan before the side was’ retired, Two more runs were marked up in each of the^next three innings.
