Howard Martin To Junk Dairy Rerd Howard •Martin, owner of one of the largest dairies in this part of Ohio, will sell his herd of 90 head of dairy, cattle, Tuesday, Jan. 12. In addition all "dairy equipment . and farm implements, He also offer* his farm for sale. It is located near Mechanicsburg. * The reason is the labor situation, unprofitable milk price control and genuine disgust with the New Deal. Last year his herd delivered. 217 ton* and 901 pounds of milk to„one com­ pany, i ' • A number of odder cows were sold from this herd for slaughter. This is the stake the city folks get under government control and there will be fewer corn fed cattle for local con­ sumption than ever by mid summer. A Clark county farmer informs us that he has disposed of five of his dairy cows which went to Springfield market for slaughter. Inability to get help to raise feed also forced him to reduce his brood Sows from twelve to eight. Bank'Predicts Tough Year For All Classes The coming year Will see bigger war output but fewer things for civil­ ians, the Guaranty Trust company's monthly survey said today. “The aggregate gross receipts of business concerns will be large, but the tax burden will probably prevent any significant increase in net earn­ ings," the survey said. “Industrial pay rolls will rise to new, peaks but shortages will limit the amount that can be spent for consumer's goods. “ For many business enterprises a continuance of operations will become impossible. “For many individuals the incon­ veniences and annoyances already en­ countered will develop into downright hardships. ■ “The*upward pressure of the price level will continue arid unremitting effort will lie needed to preserve even the eompatativc stability that has been maintained. this year. “In spite of these difficulties, the country will continue to be the best fed, the best clothed, and the best housed in the warM."
