RECORDSKEPT ONFARMCOST OFELECTRICITY The importance of electricity on the farm was shown on a county tour to electrical demonstration farms Tues­ day. During the past year, a number of farms have cooperated with the Day- ton Power and Light Co., and agri­ cultural engineering department of Ohio State university in keeping rec­ ords on the amount of electricity used by various farm and home electrical appliances. Special meters were attached to each piece of equip­ ment including the following: Electric range, deep well and cistern pumps, feed grinder, milk cooler, milking machine, cream separator, incubator, corn sheller, 15. horsepower motor, electric brooder, electric hotbed, re­ frigerator, poultry house lighting, washing machine, iron, radio and hot water heater. The tour started from the Dayton Power and Light Co. office iri Xenia, at 9 o'clock and visited the follow­ ing farms in the forenoon: Frank Collins and Edward Ginaven on the Fairfield pike and Horace Anderson of Alpha. A free luncheon was served by the ‘ company a t noon in the K. of P . hall a t Alpha. At this place I. P. Blauser of Ohio State university and Charles Poland, field man of the power com­ pany spoke on the “Possibilities of Economic Use of Electricity , on *the Farm and in the Home.” Miss Inez Plotner of the home educational de­ partment of the Dayton Power and Light Co; discussed electrical appli­ ances of the home. In. the afternoon the tour stopped at the William Shoemaker dairy farm at Alpha, Thomas Faulkner farm in Caesarcreek Twp, and home of H. C. Pinker of Jamestown. . At each farm the various appli­ ances were inspected and the host, Mr. Poland and Prof. Blauser com­ mented on their use. Records show the amount of work- done and the actual cost of operation. Promoting Sale In 1928 a committee of doctors chosen from the Greene County Medi­ cal Association organized the Greene County Public Health League. The birth of this organization was a dec­ laration to the citizens of all Greene County that no longer would the sale of tuberculosis seals be the respon­ sibility of a few interested women but that the county as a whole would ac­ cept the responsibility. The respon­ sibility is three-fold: prevention abate­ ment, and education of tuberculosis. The Greene County Public Health League is affiliated with the National Public Health Association. The League has a governing board and officers who unselfishly give of their time and interest to conquer tuberculosis. This year Dr; C. W. Dawson of Yel­ low Springs, Ohio, is the president of the board. Mrs. S. Milton McKay of Xenia, Ohio, is the treasurer of the organization. The present year Mrs. Two Barns Burn At O. S. & S. O. Home Two bams a t the O. S. & S. O. Home, Xenia, burned Monday eve­ ning a t a loss of $20,000. The origin of the fire has not yet been .determin­ ed.
