BROWN Member of Congress Both the House and Senate have >afted investigations o f our present food shortages. Special attention is being paid now to the meat shortage problem which is already serious and promises to grow more so in the month ahead Independent packers, testifying before the Senate commit­ tee, last week presented figures which seemingly prove government price ceilings on meat products are compel­ ling them to operate at a heavy loss. Many small packers have already been forced out o f business, while black market operations.in meat have increased greatly. Meat has practi­ cally disappeared from most market counters of. the larger eastern cities. Civilians are told' the American meat supply'is going to. the men of our .armed forces—but returning wounded veterans report but little meat has actually been reaching the men on the battle fronts. ALONG FARM FRONT E, A. Drake, C o . Agricultural Agent DR. RAMGti TO MEET WITH DAIRYMEN— Russians Release < t Robert Coleman, A German Prisoner Mrs, A. D. Payne o f this place has just received word from the War De- Dr. John Ramge, manager of the j partment that her grandson, Staff A survey of several counties, in the ! richest agricultural area of Ohio, dis­ closes much less food will be produc­ ed there in 1945 than in previous years. One township alone reports 500 less sows to farrow this Spring than a year ago—meaning approxi­ mately 3,500 less Spring pigs will go on feed this year than in 1944. If the same situation continues this Fall, 7,000 less'hogs will reach market from this one rural township alone this year. Other farm areas furnish al­ most as startling figures as to lower food production. They give every thoughtful person much unusual con­ cern. Bureaucratic bungling "can quickly ruin food production. Only .hard work; adequate, labor, machinery and supplies on the farm; and fair prices in the market; along with time can restore it. Food is not the only commodity which will be scarce during the months ahead, as a result o f the scrambled inefficiency o f the various govern­ ment;-agencies Which are trying to regulate production and distribution. Shoes will be in extremely short sup­ ply for civilians, as will work, clothes, house dresses, cotton undergarments* children's clothing, men's and boy’s suits and overcoats, sheets, towels/ and other household goods. The pas­ senger I car tires available will be very limited, due almost entirely to the shortage o f carbon plack, a nec­ essary item, in . tire manufacturing. The carbon black shortage springs from attempts of government agen­ cies vto compel the manufacturers thereof to sell their product at less than cost. Farm machinery produc­ tion will fall far below essential de­ mand .this' year. Steel, copper, lead, and zinc allotments for manufactur­ ing goods for civilian use have been drastically reduced. Newsprint pa­ per,.and paper products of all classes, will be in much shorter supply than ever ’before during the next six months. Tlie House last week adopted the conference report on the “ Work-or- else" Bill by a margin of< only seven votes. The Semite will probably not consider the compromise Bill until af­ ter Easter recess, and may not pass upon it at all if the war in Europe reaches its virtual end before Con­ gress reconvenes. The production of war goods is reported to have increas­ ed greatly during the past two months. There never has been any real manpower shortage throughout the United States as a whole, and none exists today. If the compromise “ Work-or-Else” Bill is enacted it Will be only f i - the purpose of saving face fo r the Administration, and not be­ cause o f lieed. The Bill, as reported by the Conference Committee, would 'reeza most employees in their pres* it jobs and give War Mobiiizer ,yrnes power to fix employment cell­ ing# for various industries, by arens, With a penalty on both' employers and employees violating his orders. If the Bill becomes law industrial produc­ tion will be benefited but little, if any, while business and industry, as well as labor, will be further regi­ mented, The wars go well for America and the United Nations on all fronts. The conflict in Europe seems to be draw­ ing rapidly to a close, with Our vic­ torious armies driving into the very heart of Germany, Yet the price has been high.,. Already more young A- mericans have lost their lives in com­ bat in World War II than were killed or fatally wounded In both the Union and Confederate forces during the Civil War, which „was previously the most costly in the nation's history. According to official announcement (C ontinuibo O h P ag * F our ), Western Ohio Breeders, Association of Celina, will discuss artificial breed­ ing of, dairy cattle at the Court House Assembly Room, Tuesday evening* April 10, at 8 o’clock. Dr. Ramge will show pictures of the bull rig and dis­ cuss blood lines of the animals Farmers interested in artificial breeding o f dairy cattle are urged to attend this meeting. The committee sponsoring the local breeding, assoc­ iation expect to complete the signup this month. Dairymen should con- tiict their township committeeman for the membership agreements. SHEEP PARASITES LAUNCH SPRING OFFENSIVE— Shearing .has disclosed heavy tick infestations in many flocks.. These parasites promptly move to the baby lambs for better shelter and easier feeding. Unless some relief can be provided, many lambs will take a se­ vere beating and remain stunted. Dipping is the most satisfactory for eradicating external parasites. This means dipping the entire flock any Sgt. Robert Craig Coleman, who. has been a prisoner of war in Germany in a prison camp east o f the Oder river, has been released by the advancing Russians and is now in Russia. Sgt. Soleman has been wounded on two occasions and returned to active duty as a paratrooper. He was cap­ tured by the Germans when he made a leap over Holland. , He is a former local high school student and enlisted in May, 1942, and was given overseas assignment in March, 1943. His mother is Mrs. Eula M. Coleman, Mt. Auburn, Cin­ cinnati. He is a 'native of Philadel­ phia. Will Investigate Fatal Shooting Coroner H. C.

HOG AND CATTLE' SUPPLY5SHRINKS The'OPA might get an eye-full of just tyhat the meat situation is in the country by following shipments of live stock to the terminal markets.

GRANT DIVORCE \ Martha .Humston was awarded a di­ vorce from Glenn Humston and re­ stored to her former name of Perkins, farmers oiit o f the field and prevent­ ed oat seeding and spring plowing. Thousands of shocks of corn -are yet to be harvested due to the severe winter. WHEAT BEING PASTURED— The wheat outlook has probably never been better at this time, of the year., and livestock are being turned in to ‘many fields to slacken the rap­ id growth and prevent lodging. The warm moist weather during March, together with the. large amounts of nitrates in the soil due to the dry weather last fall has advanced wheat far beyoiid the normal growth for this season. Light pasturing with livestock, par­ ticularly with cattle will hold the growth back and reduce losses later by lodging. It Will also benefit young clover seedings. Livestock should only be turned on the crop when the ground is relatively dry. Clipping will also shorten the crop. more penny, following a similar cent increase some months ago. I though we had ceiling prices on most every­ thing' including newspapers. My next question concerns the pol­ icy o f the Journul. While continually defending price ceilings and regula­ tions and never offering to espouse.or oppose the .unfair ceiling prices on livestock, .is it not a bit inconsistent for any newspaper to increase the price of the paper for more revenue and yet argue against higher farm prices because they would throw the nation into “ inflation”. Evidently the pi’ M!shers feel certain the new/price for the paper will not lead to infla­ tion, CURIOUS ALL WOOL BOUGHT BY GOVERNMENT— The government is the sole pur­ chaser of wool. The 1945 prices will again be supported 6 to 8 cents per pound above foreign wool values by the purchase program administered by the Commodity Credit Corpora­ tion. .Prices are the same as last year for local wools. Any purchaser^ of less than 3000 pounds may sell outright to his local handler or market his clip by consign­ ment. Marketing on consignment may be through cooperative associa* tion or through independent handlers, 'Die program haskollminated specula* tion on domestic wool since handlers receive only a specified handling charge for their services.' TREAT SEED OATS— Treatment to control oat smut are easy, effective, and cost very little. Either Ceresan or formaldehyde can be used for the smut control treat* ment. Either treatment can be used just before the oats are planted or can be made in advance. Oats treat* cd with formaldehyde and held must be shoveled over several times a day. Oats treated with Ceresan never should be fed to live stock. Cerasan is used at the rate o f one* half ounce a bushel and thoroughly mixed with the seed. Treated seed should be left in sacks or in a pile for several hours before planting. One pint o f formaldehyde with one pint o f water will treat 60 bushels if applied with a hand sprayer. The continued increase in costs of newspaper production no doubt war- rents an increase in price.. A t the present time Dayton papers are fac­ ed with demands fo r much higher pay for newspaper workers that belong to the CIO Newspaper Guild. W6 are not in position to say whether the Guild demands are fair or not. We do know that other newspapers costs have greatly increased the past three years. Scarcity of printers makes it necessary for newspapers to work the employees “ extra” time and this means a time and one-half rate, Also newspapers must pay social security taxes as levied by the New Deal and the higher the wnge of each employee the more social security tax the news­ paper must pay. This same tax is certain to fall on every farmer if the New Deal and CIO has its way. In addition farmers faco the Roosevelt guaranteed annual wage for all labor irrespective o f the season. Now as to the policy o f the Journal or any newspaper, increasing prices of their commodity that must be sold to all classes, even the farmer, and at the same time defend price ceilings on farm products, is to say the least not in good taste and certainly a verfrun- fair policy, Far too many newspa­ pers look with suspicion on the extra; dollar for the farmer as inflation, The farmer getB no pay fo r his family labor on the farm as in industry. The result of the administration policy is Less tobacco grownthe andriotnnah reflected in the “ no meat” and. “ no cigarette” signs, both o f which is due directly to tho* New Deal planning. The Journal has at times been in- sympathy .with New Dealism under the guizo o f War necessity. The New Deal gave the newspapers the Guild, Many farmers have sown New Deal seed that proved to be chaff. “ What a man soweth, so shall he'reap” Both farmer and newspaper publication are now in the harvest fo r the pocketbook raiders.

Draft, Farm Heads Confer On Manpower Leaders. of various farm organiza­ tions in Ohio conferred Monday with State Selective ■ Service - officials o f Ohio's farm- manpower-' problem. A spokesman* for the farm groups- said'they were*told there had been a misinterpretation’ of-many. statements about drafting* o f farm -laborers- into- the armed services and that any changes in- tha present system would have to come from Washington. The spokesman said agricultural­ ists' reported.■. “manpower so short that crops which take more labor will be-the. first to be eliminated.” In that class, . he«said,. were* vegetables and tomatoes. Selective service officials also were told that/there would, be a very large amount; of idle acerage in the state this year. Farm groups., represented at the meeting, included the Farrn^ Bureau Federation, thevtOhiOv Grange and.the AAA. Col. C. W.

Dog Tag Sale Sets New Rjecord A campaign- against unlicensed dogs, authorized by Greene County commissioners in the form of &house- to-house check by County Dog War- de Alvin Shadley and his assistants, has proved profitable to the county because it hois been discovered many dog /owners poglected to take out dog licenses. A number with more than one dog took out only one and later had to take out additional, plus the penalty. The 1945. safe o f tags thus far has been 5,327 as compared with 4,269 in 1944. The deadline was January 20. Dog owners are still calling for the .1945, tags. The dog fund will be en­ riched considerably with the addition- dogs plus $1 penalty.

March Record Is Hottest, Wettest March was not only the hottest March ever recorded but the wettest also since March 1913. The average temperature was 52.1 degrees-compared with a normal of 40.6 degrees. The rainfall was 11.5 inches or 7.98 inches above normal. Rainfall in March,. 1913, was 13.48 in­ ches. Fruit is farther advance than we have'had for many years and a freeze or heavy frost is expected to do un­ told damage, Many farmers are pasturing wheat to hold it back rather than let get too rank. There is danger now that heavy wheat may smother young clover. The continued wet weather has hin­ dered Bpring plowing. Has made out door work almost impossible even to rebuilding or repair o f fences.

With ten inches of snow , in Iowa and. the west, Wednesday,.Ohio stood to .loose the mid weather and face the sudden drop in the* mercury. Snow in light form fell here Thursday morn­ ing early. High winds would dry up much o f the surface water. Promises o f a heavy frost and,freeze- by Friday morning might nip the fruit and early flowers. The temperature Thursday morning was 30'with ice but no diin* age m yet to tho fruit. Village council had many topics un­ der discussion at the Monday night monthly meeting. The question of service for sanitary sewerage, for sev -.. eral property owners on E, Xenia ave. developed a lot of complications that may require the service of a “ Phila­ delphia lawyer.' Mrs, Dorothy Wright of the Cedar- ville Lumber Co., was present and is asking council to extend the water line from East st. to Mainst. through, an alley at the Cozy Theatre. She proposed an exchange o f property owner by herself and the village that, an alley bo opened legally from East st. to an alley at the rear of the Cozy Theatre. The alley at the theatre is private and owned by Nelson Cres- well, owner o f the theater. It was represented by Mrs. Wright that she could get a lower insurance rate by having the “ dead-end” connected with the Main st. line. Council took the matter under consideration as. certain legal points would have to be ironed out. The water has not been fit for use for anything but fire protection and extending (the line would give the service to twn or more water pat­ rons. . A communication was read from Attorney Robert Wead, declining the offer of village solicitor. He stat­ ed he would be unable to accept at the present time. Attorney Morris Rice of Osborn, declined at a previous meeting o f council. Council then di­ rected the Clerk to contact the law firm of Miller & Finney, Xenia.- The question o f fire protection for ’ property out of the village was rais­ ed and what the cost for-service ren­ dered should be . A bill for $25 and $10 additional for the firemen was ordered sent to Walter Fields ,whose home was saved by the department a few weeks ago. Member Cummings reported the village was badly in need of new fire hose. An order was given for hose more than a year ago but has never been filled due to priorities. He re­ ports we have only aboiit 500 feet of first class hose, when we should* have 1,000 feet as fire hydrants are situ­ ated to give service 1000 feet in each direction.' The question o f what status the property in the village was in should a fire break out while the department was on a run out of town. It waB pointed out insurance rates are based on twenty-four hour fire protection service, which means the equipment is expected to remain in the village. The alternative is that* with the fire equipment out o f town would mean, higher insurance rates on all as the town would be listed as not having proper protection. Another question raised what responsibility would the village have have financially should a fire do damage with equipment out. of town? The property owners are being taxed to pay' for protection and would not have this if a fire took place when the equipment was out of town. The clerk was instructed to contact state officials as to what response bility the village has under the ques tions raised. There was considerable discussion over the sanitary situation in town and particularly to rubbish being left where it “ decorated” the banks of the stream. The discussion was not only aiiiong members o f council but with visitors present also. It soon became a running debate That the .sanitary problem is a grave one no one can dispute, A drive about town will verify that disease breeding places exist in great numbers and will be the hatchery for all kinds of sum­ mer flies and bugs unless cleaned up, F'or forty years the question of keep­ ing the banks of Massies creek clean has been an issue. The sanitary situation where many septic tanks drain to the creek can not be solved until the sanitary sys­ tem for the entire village is ordered and completed. This authority be­ longs to council. Some months ago an effort was made to install a dis­ posal plant west of town but all bids were beyond the engineer's estimates. The question o f manpower, priori­ ties and material Made completion of the job uncertain. The same Dayton engineer that prepared the plans for the village has been engaged by- the Xenia City Gem- mission for a large sewerage dispos­ a l plant for that city, We arc inform­ ed the city will be able to get the ma­ terial necessary for the job. Anyhow the commission has proceeded with all plans for letting the contract. There id no better time for the (vil­ lage, to revive the disposal plant here. Mr. ,11. A. Tyson has warned theril* J ( C o n t in u w ) O n P ag * F o w l),
