ScheffJer, superintendent o f the division. A t the present time about 13,000 such workers are-protected in the laundry -and dry cleaning in ­ dustries. A minimum wage o f from $6.25 to $10.50 a week fo r a group o f approximately 35,000 employes in hotels and restaurants o f Ohio will be recommended:, n ex t week, Miss Scheffler said. In addition the di­ vision. is preparing to determ ine‘a wage scale fo r women and minor workers in retail establishments throughout the state, fo r which a minimum wage board o f jnine mem­ bers w ill he selected, three members o f which w ill represent the employers, three will represent employes and three will 'be citizens impartial to either side. The dry cleaning and laundry scales became operative July 0, 1934,' and since that time the di­ vision has collected $2,083 in back wages fo r employes and has conduct­ ed twelve prosecutions, all o f .which resulted in favorable decisions. May 1 has been designated as the deadline fo r Ohio merchants to sub­ mit invoices on claims against the Federal Emergency Relief Adminis­ tration, which is being disbanded, it was announced by Dayton H. Frost, Obio FERA administrator. There are approximately $100,000 in outstanding biU3 held against the ^ERA in Ohio and less than three months remaining to complete the liquidating activities, Administrator Frost asserted.

Three cornered cat* and town hall, played on the old country school grounds or wherever we could toaster a guorum, led on that pinnacle in' American sport, baseball, that hut l o s t )none o f its thrill to me since the idectule' o f its ch ief indulgence, viz, during the 80s o f the l9 th century. That photo, -shotting the CedarviUe College team , as given in your issue o f February 28th, last, has been well presorted / and shows itB members dad fin natty caps - and uniforms, really attractive, much in keeping with! the handsome features and sturdy physique o f thoee beneath the regalia. B it we must go back to earlier days, .than these,' when baseball jin old [Greene County was more nearly “ piohseristic.” j. . In the make-up o f these'early clubs the “ country jake’,’ feature was most­ ly in evidence, particularly so, was thist true, o f our Clifton club. Clifton- was simply a more or less central meeting ground, rather than a metropolitan nucleus o f baseball ex­ perts. Not more than one or two, at Shy one time, could claim resi­ dence, in the quiet burg. In the Ce- dartiUe bunch we note,, three, are “ Ilifi” brothers. No picture was ever takdn o f the Clifton crew that we are aware o f, but we can go the College group a couple better by /naming thrOe brothers and two nephews hail­ ing ras “ Cliftonites.” Forgetting the relationship we -name them according to age* viz: Ed, Din, Mitch, Gordon and' Clark. A ll o f us horn in tri­ angular home sites o f a few -stones thrdw apart. But we grew up boys together, the three brother uncles never rising higher in nomenclature than .simply Din, Mitch or Clark. Getting away from the “ Collins" boys we tvfll name additional members as they coins to mind that comprised -our make-up a s'ba ll tossere a little more thim W years Gtorge H. Smith, Rob Anderson, Will Eater, WiR and Cy Huffman, W ill (Nailer) Wilson, and his brother Solomon, prior to the time o f that “ David and Jonathan" affiliation be­ tween “ Sol and Harry” existing with such unbroken fidelity a ll these years. Sol didn’t .play much after setting down to this marvelous unity. A i farmers, we worked like Trojans six Hays o f the week until Saturday afternoon, during the summers, in orddr. to justify ourselves in throwing down the shovel and the hoe, grabbing our baseball bats and chasing our driv­ in g ‘hones fo r some ball diamond fou r to ten miles away. A practice ganto found us combined against any p ick up bunch we could stir up, on the <home grounds* so courteously proffered n s by Aunt Hannah Johnson and tBc J . (Jack) McCollough or other, land! owners near Clifton. Fdr -competitors in the game wo tangled with Yellow Springs (An­ tioch ), W ilberforce CedarviUe, Selma, Pitchin* Drily Varden, and what have you t Once or twice we tackled the O. S. Sc. S. O. home boys and believe me those youngsters were not to be sneeked at. B it our chief business was centered on boating CedarviUe. You can may- >e guess who some o f the gang we ran up against there, were. Can’t name theto all now, hut there was Charley (Bfitopus) Jones, Dave Tarbox, Jim and Riley Little, WU1 Jeffries, Gri Morton, Tom Taxbox, and I have a b ig potion to include WU1 Tarbox al­ though I ato not so positive he was frivolous enough to forget business oftert enough to be a regular. George 6r Wallace Barber got into the game too, and it seems to me Harry B iff also was recruiUd against us some­ times. Then there vfea one o f the McMillans who had lost'much o f that “ school g --b o y " complexion so com­ mon to Fred* Harlan, Homer, Clayton and Jason. This chap want by the name o f “ E llis" and even i f he was a darkey we had no business batting a fly into le ft Arid if we expected to make a safe h it out o f i t In those days your ball ground* Was on somebody’s field which X be­ lieve is now a portion o f CedarviUe College campus. A great tree stood to the corner nearest town along N .

Thomas Tindall. CedarviUe belt team never had a more enthusiastic, hilarious, rooter against us fellows, than was Mrs. Tindall. Right on this diamond, HoWever, happened to me the only really regretful incident In alt toy baft playing experience. 1 hap­ pened to ho pitching one day with Ed SOILPftQ&RAM TOPROTECT FARMLAND (fiontinudd on pagi ikm ) A group o f 499 farmers from all * Ohio counties, meeting at Columbus, March 25 and 26, learned that one o f the essential differences between the old AAA crop adjustment program and the new soil conservation act is that payments o f money farmers - under the new law are made fo r per­ form ing crop practices which will maintain and improve .the fertility o f their soil while under the old AAA, adjustment payments were made fo r reducing acreages o f basic crops. W. 0 . Fraser and R. H. Moyer* Washington, assistants -to G. B. Thorne, director in charge o f the 1936 soil conservation program in the com ; belt, told the Ohio farmers the pur­ poses o f the law and how it might apply to farm operations on . Ohio farms. Farmers who represented all types o f farm operations in Ohio were at the-meeting and w ere given an op - . portunity to make suggestions' on ad­ m inistering'the law. here, so iff would' be most helpful to the farm ers them­ selves and would most nearly effect ' the purposes o f increasing soil pro­ ductivity and o f preventing soil erosion. Ohio farmers are’ asked to-increase the acreage o f the crops which im­ prove soil fertility. These crops also serve the purpose o f decreasing or preventing soil erosion. I f a. farmer increases the number o f acres planted to soil conserving crops, he may not* secure as high an immediate cash i n - ' Come as' if he planted a larger p r o -. portion o f crops, such as corn, which deplete soil fertility. The new soil conservation law; recognizes this prin­ ciple and makes it possible fo r a farm ­ er, who adopts the better farm ing - practices to obtain, payments fo r - his contribution to soil resources. . . There will he two general types and two special types o f payments which, may apply to Ohio farm conditions. Farmers who follow approved' soil conservation and soil-building prac­ tices on general:,farms may qualify* first* fo r a payment made with respect building crops on lsnd-formerly in soil- - depleting crops, and second, fo r a pay­ ment with respect to new seedings or other approved soil-building .practices. - In general, the size o f payment-is . influenced by the relative productivity .of the land devoted to soil conserving crops. Thus, the size o f payments p e r ..;: acre received by Ohio-farmers -may differ from those obtained by farmers n other corn belt states, and the pay­ ment received by a Scioto county man, fo r example* may differ from those re-r ceived by farmers in an adjoining •ounly or in counties in other sections o f the state. The first general type o f payment, called: the soil-conserving payment, is - based on the difference, in acres, be­ tween the base acreage o f soil deplet­ ing crops established for the farm and the acreage o f soil depleting crops. ~in~~~" 1936. This decrease in soil depleting crops is balanced by an increase in sofi-building or soil-conserving cropB. The farmer is paid only fo r the actual number o f acres represented by the downward change in soil depleting acreage, but he can not obtain the payments with respect to a greater number o f acres than 15 per cent o f tiis soil depleting base acreage. The soil depleting base acreage w ill m the total 1935 acreage 6 f soil- de­ pleting crops, such as corn, oats, or wheat, inodified.as the local committee finds necessary to allow fo r conditions caused by the 1935 crop control pro­ grams and fo r local conditions caused by weather or other unusual cir­ cumstances. For the purposes o f carrying out the present soil conser­ vation program, all crops, generally speaking, are to be divided into three classes, which ftre (1 ) soil-depleting* (2 ) soil-conserving, and (8 ) soil- building. Art Ohio farm er with 109 acres o f average soil might have had, in 1986, 39 acres o f corn, 29 acres o f oats, 10 acres o f wheat, 10 acres o f alfalfa* 20 acres o f permartent pasture, and 10 acres in woodlot, orchard, building plots, and roads. The corn, oats, and wheat in 1935 were ijhe soil-depleting crops fo r that farm and their total acreage, 60 acres, would he the soil depleting base fo r that farm . T o qualify fo r any payment under the soil conservation law , this farmer must have In 1936 at least 16 per esnt o f 60 acres, that is, a t least 9 acres to soil conserving crips.
