The 94th annual Greene County Fair promises much in the way of races, livestock shaw and the various departments that go to make up a well balanced- fair. The Greene County Fair, as it approaches its Century of Progress has written history for Greene County in its farm life. During the last ten years Greene County Fair has made rapid progress, namely purchasing o f the Fair Grounds, a new Art Hall, a new Grand Stand and-Judges’ Stand. In 1931 the new horse stables were completed and various other buildings put iii good order.- The 'grounds- am being .dress­ ed up for this year’s fair August 2-3 and 4. The Fair Board is making every effort to give the public a high class fair with the amount of resources that are available. They are await­ ing the approval of its patrons. The general admission will be 25 cents. Automobiles 25 cents. Children under 12 when accompanied by their parents will be admitted free. While the purses are not* large in the speed events they are above the average purses offered throughout Ohio. The racing at Xenia has been considered by horsemen who follow the fairs to be tbe best to be found. The horse, cattle, swine, sheep and poultry departments promise to pro­ duce a competition in all lines of livestock. With 600 enrolled in the boys and girls club Work carrying baby beef, dairy calf, pig, sheep and •poultry clubs with the 4-H clubs' other act­ ivities, a dey spent in this feature would be of interest to the Fair patrons. Nearly forty club leaders have been giving of their time to make the 4-H club department at­ tractive as well as instructive. The Grange, Juvenile Grange, Farm Bureau, W. C. T. U., County Library and other organizations will fit into the program to balance the Fair. The antique furniture show, a new feature this year, will occupy space in the Art Hall and will instruct the public as to the value of the various pieces that may be reposing in tlieir cellars or attics. The parade scheduled for Friday morning will bring forth floats of various organizations, livestock in groups with the 4-H club members presenting phases of their activities. The Greene County Fair represents the efforts o f many hundreds of folks working for the Improvement of farm and home life through the culminat­ ing show, the County Fair. It will take the public, namely the Fair patrons, to make the 1933 Fair a suc­ cessful event. Minnesota Cow Sets Butterfat Record The largest official yearly butterfat record to be made since 1927 was completed recently by the registered Holstein cow, Femco Johanna Bess Fayne. The cow, owned by F. E. Murphy, of Breckenridge, Minn., produced 1,- 208.6 . pounds of fat and 33,649.8 pounds of milk with an average test of 3.6 per cent. Fayne’s butterfat yield ranks fourth place on the na­ tional list for all time and fifteenth for milk on the national list. She was first tested as a junior .two-year-old and made 701.1 pounds o f fat and 20,- 145.1 pounds o f milk. Fayne’s present record, supervised by the Minnesota Agricultural Col­ lege, was begun as a six-year-old. During the year she had 22 official test periods. Six Were retests and three were out-of-state check tests. A large cow, weighing 1,900 pounds before she freshened, Fayne at the close o f her test weighed approxi­ mately 1,800 pounds. BUILDING TRADE CODES MUST BE WATCHED BANKERS DISCUSS CODE FOR COUNTY BANKS Members of the Greene County Bankers’ Association held a meeting in Xenia, Tuesday evening, when prob­ lems concerning banking and the adoption of a code under the recovery act Were discussed. Subscribe for THE HERALD Week End Special at Brown’s Drugs since June 29. 30 NOW IN COUNTY Population of the Greene county jail was increased to 30 with the ar­ rival last week of 11 federal prison­ ers sentenced *decently by Federal Judge Bcngon W. Hough at Columbus. The jail had had no federal inmates While many lines of industry have succeeded in adopting trade codes that have been satisfactory there are evidently many lines where trouble is experienced. According to press re­ ports the oil companies have attempt­ ed to form a code to escape certain requirements and set up a scheme that will eventually put independent deal­ ers out of business. Newton D. Baker, Cleveland, in the interest of independents has taken issue with the proposed oil code. The same plan was attempted in the paper mill industry, being spon­ sored by certain leaders that had set up a scheme to tie small mills so they could not operate profitnbi Publishers and printers met recent­ ly in Chicago where the meeting was dominated by big city publishing houses that proposed restrictions that would have stiffied thousands of smaller publishing houses, probably closing many plants where small dailies are produced, Members o f the National Editorial Association representing several thou­ sands publishers, led by Clarence J, Brown, former secretary of state, who resides in Blanchester, withdrew from the conference, and after organizing drew a tentative code that is being submitted to the various state organ­ izations. When completed it will be submitted to the Federal Department in Washington for approval. Will be brought about if sufficient signatures are obtained to the initiat­ ed petitions now being circulated over the state to amend the Ohio constitu­ tion so as to reduce the present 15 mill rate to ten mills, to lower the tax on real estate. His statement says the budget law 1 provides 4.85 mills tax rate for schools, and should this be granted under the ten mill limit on account of debt limitation, many tax districts would have nothing left for current operating expenses. Mr. Dyer says the old Smith ten mill or one per cent tax law was a calamity for the / state and that the proposed limitation would be a “worse calamity." He says the legislature would be compelled to enact drastic laws for the collection o f delinquent taxes, thereby taking away from their owners thousands o f homes and . fprms. However Mr, Dyer makes no mention of the thousands of tax pay­ ers that are now delinquent while other thousands are contributing to the support of the government and carrying the tax load. - • Tile Farm Bureau and Grange have urged legislative action reduc­ ing the limitation to 12 mills but the trouble with this plan is that the following legislature could repeal the 12 mill limit and restore it to 15 mills. By placing the limitation in the con­ stitution the legislature cannot tamp­ er with it by changes- to suit the politicians,' Property. owners should keep in mind that nine out of ten of the Farm Bureau and Grange officials are mixed in politics, Republicican and Democratic, directly or indirectly. Those favoring the ten mill limit­ ation realize . some drastic changes face the politicians if it is adopted. It will force darstic reductions in government, the very thing taxpayers are demanding and have not secured. Farmers in particular will be dis­ appointed in the stand the Farm Bu­ reau and Grange have taken but there would be greater |disappoint> ment if they knew how much of the tax dollar was going to support so- called farm movements engineered by farm politicians under the guise of co-operative movements. Tax Collection Is 68 PerCent According to a statement of County Treasure Harold Van Pelt, the present tax collection is about 68 per cent. Between $280,000 ahd $300,000 has been paid in during this period. The time expires August 1st to pay taxes, two extensions having been granted. LAND PRICE AGAIN FALLS CHILLICHOTE—The average price per acre of farm land was $26.66 the past year, compared to $34,75 .for 1032, and $42.60 in 1031, according to annual report of County Recorder W. F. Shccley. The number of deeds de­ creased about 35 per cent during the year, while mortgages fell off more than 50 per cent, Limb O f Tree Falls On Road; Auto Accident ullnr accident happened early puay evening when a limb from a alongside the road fell across the T'jd as car approached driven by Anna Peterson, colored, accompanied by her brother, Robert; sister, Helen, Charley Bennett, finding the road blocked stopped their machine, While there awaiting aid to clear the road another automobile, said to be from Columbus came down the hill at high speed. Darkness had just began to fall and it is said the Colum­ bus party did not see what was ahead. His machine crashed into the rear of the Peterson car. Anna Peterson was thrown through the windshield and sustained serious cuts and bruises a- bout the head and face. Other mem­ bers of the party sustained slight bruises. Miss Peterson was brought to the office of Dr. M. I. Marsh, who dressed her injuries.
