While most farmers with small .flocks buy ready mixed feed, home grown grains can be combined with concentrates to make an excellent chick starting mash. The mixture recommended is made up of 40 pounds coarse ground yellow corn, 20 pounds middlings or coarse­ ly ground .wheat, 10 pounds bran, 2 pounds -meat scraps, 5 (.pounds dried or dried . whey, 15 pounds soy- oil meal. 5 pounds alfalfa meal, 1 pound salt, 1 pound-^bonemeal , or rock phosphate, 2 pounds ground lime stone or chick size oyster shell and one-tenth -pound of 400-unit vitiamin f) supplement. 6KI0SGHQGLS POOROUTLOOK Ohio’s school children face a “tragic" situation next year unless the present teacher rshortage is alleviated, accord­ ing to an Ohio State University Ob­ server. Already some 3,000 emergency cer­ tificates, have, been issued and the outlook for next year is worse says Dr, Allen Patterson, head of the place men bureau. • . “The reservoir of available candi­ dates for even emergency certificates is nearly empty unless hundreds df men applicants can be discovered,” he stated.. “Volunteers are needed o'r our school children will be facing a trag­ ic situation.” ' A recent report of the State Depart­ ment of .Education disclosed more than- 4,000 Ohio -teachers will leave their -pre.sent teaching positions be­ fore next September. Educators say Ohio has lost more than 10,003 teachers since Pearl Har­ bor, one-fourtli 'Of the total number- normally employed. The armed forces took 33 per cent of the former teachers, 30 percent were attracted by higher-salaries in industry and 27 percent married and followed their service husbands. • The supply of new teachers from Ohio colleges will not altar the situa­ tion materially. There will be 40 per cent-less graduates'. By 1949 Ohio’s elementary schools will have enrolled 83,537 more students than the normal load. 1 Four Ave Injured In Hit-Skip Crash On Columbus Pike Mrs; Geneva Benning, 21, of this place suffered possible brain concus­ sion and possible internal injury when a car in which she was riding with Pvt, Garvin E.

EARLY PASTURING REDUCES GRASS GROWTH— Dwindling supplies of ■grain and hay are going to persuade, many far­ mers to turn livestock on pastures early this spring, but agronomists at Ohio State Unniversity declare pre­ mature pasturing will reduce' the to­ tal amount of forage produced by a pasture field during a year. Pasture grasses produce the great­ est amount of forage if the grass is- allowed . to reach a height of about four inches before livestock- is turned rpto the field, Grass at this stage of growth is hotter pasture than 'either the first green growth or midsummer grass which has become dry. GIVE ATTENTION TO PASTURES— A well managed *pasture furnishes cheaper and’m.Ore valuable livestock feed than any other farm crop and should be ‘given. the best of cate. When pasture is cropped off,-valuable'; soil elements are *consumed, These need to be returned to the soil by the application of fertilizer. A careful program of grazing *ur also essential, To maintain the prop­ er balance between grass and le gunies, pastures should not be grazed closer than one nnd one-half inches, nor allowed to grow higher than five or six inches. To keep the growth 'between these extremes, livestock can he shifted from one . area, to another and kept in bounds by means of an electric fence. ‘ 1 Walter E.

When the New Deal slapped a cold ; freeze order on all com. In crib on farms in' 125 western counties, the hog feeders of a score of mid-western and central states faced a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars on hogs that had to be held back due to a "market glut”. The dictatorial order was a slap at western corn growers that had refus-, ed to sell corn at the low celling gov­ ernment price. The present move is the first step to ceisure of all corn, irrespective of feeding needs. The drastic -order forced western feeders to dump thousands of hogs on the market this week th a t’tied up all markets. Even cattle feeders in the west started their herds to mar­ ket rather than - be caught without feed. Wednesday found more cattle in market than had been known for several years and- the rush is expect­ ed to continue until at least Monday. Locally farmers' that sent hogs to Dayton market Tuesday had-to have them shipped back to the farms as the yards were full and -packers were unable to purchase -more. A farmer in the mid-west that purchased corn from; his neighbor was warned such sales would result, in conviction and a heavy sentence, The- New Dealers issued a state­ ment warning farmers there would ■ be no increase in the ceiling price, of corn no matter what happened. Companies . manufacturing - mixed feeds can only mix today the average . of corresponding periods of 1942 and 1943, no matter how-bad stock feed-, era or poultry raisers need the feed.- With the freeze came the announce­ ment that local AAA committeemen would visit farm in the 125 counties and determine 'just how much com in storage on each farm was neces­ sary for that particular farm. The. excess would be taken • by the New Dealers. ■ n So far. according to reports from , elevators in Chicago, Cleveland, De­ troit are that no great increase in the ■' amount of'corn had been noticed. It was predicted if the government was . going to seize the corn at ceiling price • the farmers would let it go that way and thus save the trucking and shell­ ing cost. "With cold storage • houses loaded • with government owned pork; ^rith the populacc'rationed on meatsj'with market pens glutted with- live hogs • and cattle; with •a hungry populace ready to eat the surplus, all they get is ration coupons and a pack of lies' from the OPA and OWI. . How many farmers can recall a speech at the high school auditorium a few dn£s .ago by Joseph Mason, who. was there and spoke in behalf of the AAA movement and how events ■of today had-been planned even back in those dajis. The fellow travelers that did the planning fro Russian experience probably then were chant­ ing:- “My Country ’tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty, Of‘Thee I Sing: God Save the New Dea^King”.
