FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12,1980 W E U V E IN A N A G E O F SC IENCE Where would we be in thie country todey if it wee not fo r whet science bee given us? There would be no redio, no euto* mobile, no phonograph, no iceless refrigerator to sey nothing of the telephone end telegraph. In the held of medicine gree t progress b e t been made towards finding solutions end trea t­ ment fo r diseases. This week th e American Chemical Society Is meeting in Cincinnati. We ere told science has a new method for refrig­ eration th a t will prove whether meat is fresh or old. Dry ice is now in use in many ways but owing to the cost it has not become a product tha t has a wide sale. Wbat has been accom­ plished along th a t line is a great step into the future when com­ pared with the past. I f +he fresh beef has been in storage a long time it will come out of the new refrigerator Changed from red to brown. Really fresh beef is red and will remain so when put to the new test. LOW ER TA X VA LUES M EA N H IG H E R RA TES . The practice in vogue a t th is time in many counties in Ohio is to reduce tax valuations on far:Farm land on the theory th a t cer­ tain relief will be granted land owners. In most counties a cer­ tain amount of money is necessary to operate the various branches of government, schools and road improvement.. To produce th a t amount if the valuation is reduced the tax ra te must of necessity be increased. The relief expected is not realized in the end. A fa ir example of the result of such was in Champaign county last year when certain farm leaders requested th a t valu­ ations on land be reduced-. This was granted and the tax rate left as before with a large reduction in county revenue for Various purposes. I t so happened funds were not available fo. continuing the county agent and again the farm leaders that had requested a tax valuation cut protested to the commission­ ers the dropping of the county agent. Friction developed or the issue and for a rime affairs in tha t county were in a muddled condition. Tax valuation were not reduced on town or cit> property which was forced to carry the greater part of the financial load in the county. * One section may for a rime escape its share of governmental coat but in the end will only reap the ill will of those who must pay the bill. You cannot divide the responsibility of the cost of government without creating suspicion through public senti­ ment. Lower tax valuations means nothing unless you can re­ duce the cost of government operation. DU R ING T H E DAY S O F D ISCON TEN T We are in a period of discontent but this condition is not local nor confined entirely to this country. The whole world is undergoing an economic change;, England has her unem­ ployment situation. Canada is depressed over the wheat mar­ ket. Various South American countries th a t produce metals, .wool, meats and food articles face declining prices. Cuba is reported in rather an acute position as the result of low prices on raw sugar. Meantime leaders in world affairs are frying to solve the economic problem and what the solution will be no one can even forecast just now. We do know that many manufacturing in­ dustries, large retail stores and large as well as small business enterprises have found, it necessary to curtail to keep things going. We often wonder if the average citizen realizes that economics in the home are as important as to big business. Com- , petition iBkeener today 'than ever. The manufacturer is trying to reduce overhead costs th a t his product can find, a place in. a competative m arke t.. High operative costs makes it impossible to produce merchandise fo r a declining market. Such changes have brought much discontent to all classes bu t all must recognize wo have stepped from a plane of fast living a t a high cost to living on a lower level. Every so many years there comes a slowing up process Jn the American stand­ ard of living. Conditions are going to improve as they always have in the past, just when no one can tell, but making the best of the situation with a hopeful look into, the future will over­ come much of the present day discontent.

The literary and intelligent Fannie Hurst returns from Europe with a pet marmoset, so small it sits in a large pocketbook. She should write about husbands of tlie future, who will probably dwindle to about that size, in the course of evolution. The giant sea crab, when you. catch one, is always a female, of great size. She carries the male crab, about as big .as a ten-cent piece, under one of her flippers, except on rare occasions. Human husbands may dwindle down to that, when men have no harder work to do than pushing a button Size and muscle will.no longer count. But woman will remain of full size, because of her ipaternal duties, and fpr other reasons. The female spider is ten times as big as her husband, and eats him a fte r marriage. Human, husbands should not complain. T, F. Wallace, head of ttys National Association of Savings Banks, see# the end of the slump, because savings deposits increased $226,000,000. Sav­ ing shows strength of mind, but the end of the slump might he still near­ er if those that put the $225,000/100 extra into savings banks had put it into circulation, buying merchandise. What people spend makes prosper­ ity. What they save makes them safe. One thousand are dead in Santo Domingo," 5,000 hurt, 30,000 homeless, in latest reports. Of 10,000 buildings, only 400 are left standing. I t will take a great deal more than the $20,000 sent by the American Red Cross to provide for that situation. After a great war important changes occur in government and “social sys­ tems.” One hdndred and sixteen British bankers and manufacturers implore Groat Britain to stick to and maintain trade and not be stampeded into pro­ tection and retaliation. Another group 6 ? bankers had urged “free trade within the empire, protec­ tion against outside competition.” # German statistician* apply grim and correct figures about the great war. I t has taken years to prepare them. Ten million soldiers were killed, 30,- 000 unknown French soldiers lie in one grave. The ho rns killed numbered 9,586,- 000 —they didn't s ta rt the war. v Eighteen million human beings were wounded, and $247,000,000,000 were spent, wasted. And that is What the world is pay­ ing for now in its slump, undoubtedly, Australians and others are im­ pressed by old Solomoni, an old ab­ original Australian witch doctor, who predicted “Drenching rains to end the drought in the first quarter of the moon. » The drenching rains came, crops were shred, Solomoni is a hero, and the weather bureau which saw no tain coming is made ridiculous. The public, eager to be deceived, hears and cares nothing about the 10 ,- 000 witch doctors and other prophets that in the same week predicted things that did not and will not happen.

Ohio Now Has Fewer Farms farm fnnTndas all the land white Is dttoetiy farmed' by one persett, either ay hie earn labor alone or with the 1 9 3 0 C m w t S h ow s C itin s A r e E n g u lf in g F a rm s e n d M a n y A r e B e i n g ' A b a n d o n e d Sine* 1920 the number of farm# in Ohio has decreased' by 37,000, accord­ ing- to the J930 federal census. Much of this decrease is due to the spread­ ing growth of the cities, to the aban­ donment of-the poorer farms, and to increased site of the remaining farms, in the opinion of J . I. Falconer, head of the department of rural economics of the Ohio State University. City areas have expanded rapidly during the last ten years, says Dr. Falconer, The city of Cleveland, for example, has swallowed up fully two- thirds o f the farms in Cuyahoga coun­ ty, and other cities, including Cincin­ nati, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, Co­ lumbus, and Dayton, have taken.into their boundaries one-fifth to more than one-third of thb farms reported to be, in 1920, within the counties in which these cities are located! In the rural counties, fully 12 per cent of the farms have disappeared. Farts of some have been added to neighboring farms. Farms in Ohio are now growing larger, explains Dr. Falconet. With, improved machinery and. it* general acceptance, farmers are now able to farm more land. This has affected very noticeably the num­ ber of-farm* in some of the better agricultural sections. In southeastern Ohio, where farm­ ing is admitted to be a more difficult business than in other more favered sections, the number of farms has decreased rapidly. In Vinton county, in this section, more than one-third of the farms have been abandoned within a decade, according to the census re­ port. Nothing has come to take their places; a t the present time the major­ ity of them are growing up in brush and the buildings are deteriorating. The hikfory of these farms is the same in practically all cases. The old resident families have moved, having found fresher opportunity elsewhere, Other families rented the farms only to have little better, if as good, suc­ cess as the owner families. Gradually the farms deteriorated, and the rent­ ers moved away, leaving the farms to grow up in brush and the buildings to tumble and decay. . This economic change is still going on In some section* of Ohio, Dr. f a l ­ coner *ays. And, he believe*, it will continue so. fpr some time. ' Including all counties, the number of farms in the state decreased from 256,695 in 1920 to 219,658 in 1930, which i* 14,4 per cent. According to the 1925 census there Wen 244,703 farms in Hint year. In the last five years, then, the decrease has been 10.2. In not a Single county in the state did the number of farms increase. The smallest decrease, however, ocurred in Licking county which suffered a 1 per cent loss. Other counties which showed little shift are: Butler 2.1 per cent decrease; Coshocton 1.6; Dela­ ware 4.1; Morgan 5.4; and Sandusky 1.9; For the purposes of the census, a aeffetmee j d member* « t hie hold, or ^birod employee*. When a iandqwnsr has on# or more tenants, renter*, croppers, or managers, the lead operated by each is considered a farm. Any tract of land 1 ms than three acres used for agricultural pur­ poses, which produced products to the value of $250 in the preceding calen­ dar year, is classed a “farm.” .
