A. Drake, Co. Agricultural Agent Dr. W. R. Graham To Be Anniversary Speaker A t Testimonial Dinner yfHnm—mens' COLLEGE NEWS CtHfO HEREFORD SHOW AND SALE, APRIL 16— Paullin A. Harper, Ross. Tp. Here­ ford cattle breeder will consign four registered animals to the annual Ohio Hereford Association spring side at Columbus, April 16. The- sale will be held at the Producers new sale pavil- ian at 67V Taylor Ave. starting at 11 o'clock, A show o f all cattle will be held April 16, at 2 o'clock with Allen few months. In fact, the cutback on itv, h 0f Romeo, Mich., as judge. t f 1 war orders has already quietly start­ ed. Current War Department reports fix the immediate cut in war produc­ tion at from fifteen to twenty per­ cent within two months after VE-Day. It is estimated production o f war goods will be reduced from thirty- five 1» forty percent Within' a year af­ ter, the European conflict ends. Some wise old Washington owls believe even heavier cuts are to come, aiid predict war production will he o ff by at least sixty percent by this time in 1046. Incidently, there are many in Washington who believe Japan will capitulate by the end o f 1945, or the Spring o f 1946—wich, o f course, would bring an end to the production o f practically all war goods. -The nearness and certainty o f vic­ tory over Germany has caused War Production Board and other govern­ ment, officials to do a quick -and com­ plete right-about- face on reconver­ sion during the past ten days. Last summer, when the leaders of*Amer­ ican industry wanted to begin making orderly plans and arrangements for reconversion o f war-time industries to peacetime production, the War De­ partment clique were in violent op­ position. Following the- December German counter-attack in Belgium, the. War Department group were in complete control o f the nation's pro­ duction program, until- a week or so ago. Now that the General Clay, who made the behind-the-scenes decisions oil production matters, has been ship­ ped, to Europe, War Production Board officials .and other Administration leaders are rushing madly about try­ ing to hastily throw together plans fo r" meeting our reconversion prob­ lems. The failure o f the Adminis­ tration to listen to industrial leaders Who urged advance preparations, fo r reconversion will bring confusion, ad­ ded unemployment, and heavy, finan­ cial losses to America industry, bus­ iness and labor in the-months ahead. 4 ---------- The final defeat o f the "Work or E lse" Bill by the Senate became a foregone^conclusion after War Mobil- izer Btynes publically admitted the Administration measure, which had been ^introduced- as war legislation, was actually fo r the purpose o f freez­ ing labor in their present jobs after the war ends, and to control pease- time employment practices. The; heavy defeat o f this bill in the Senate means no, further attempts to enact such legislation will be made, The measure, .which was clearly unconsti­ tutional, would have shackled Amer­ ican labor and industry, and given bureaucratic agencies in Washington dictatorial power to regiment the ci­ vilian workers and employers o f the nation. Its enactment would have’ bsen the longest step ever taken to­ ward turning America into £ sociali­ sed state. Its defeat was a victory fo r human freedom and representa­ tive government. Mr. Harper will consign one’ year­ ling bull, two open< heifers, and one bred cow. A total o f 85 females and 40 bulls will be sold. POULTRYMEN REPORT LOSS FROM FOXES— The results o f a survey made by the poultry department o f OSU on fox losses among poultrymen shows the terrific toll this predatory ani- mal is taking, - The losses on many farms are o f two types: first, actual tosses of- birds' destroyed, and second, tosses due to disease and parasites re­ sulting from fea r-o f moving growing sirds out on clean ranges. The 1128 poultrymen in. /the state: who reported - losses reported total losses of 51,932 chickens, 1786 tur- seya? 862'water fowl, 190 pigs, 105 ambs, 70 guineas and 85 pheasants. Of the 26 Greene County farmers answering the questionaire, 25 report- id losses to foxes o f *879 chickens 'I turkeys and 15 pigs. DR. WILLIAM R. GRAHAM ' Dr. Graham* pastor o f : Central Presbyterian Church, Lafayette, Ind.* will deliver the address Friday even­ ing at the testimonial dinner for Dr. and Mrs, F. A . Jurkat. Some two hundred/ reservations have been made for the important event. Joseph H . Adams On Draft Board No.<2 •SLIPPING WHEAT PREVENTS LODGING— * Wheat is starting, out this sring vith a rush that almost certainly spells lodged wheat and spothered alfalfa and clover seedings. This edging, can be prevented by pastur- ng or clipping the wheat before .it .tarts to joint. . I f the ground is not oo soft, pasturing is the most profit­ able method, since it turns the excess growth into grain saving feed. Stock- nay'be left on< the wheat a week or ;en days, until they have removed mlf or more o f the growth. Clipping does a more uniform job ay using a mowing machine set as high as possible, four or five inches. Hipping, should be dorte before there a any chance o f cutting o ff wheat heads* but'late enough so that four to six inches o f leaf is removed. The height o f the developing heads can be ietermined by splitting the shoots .vith p sharp knife, , CALYX CUP SPRAY IS IMPORTANT— One o f the most important sprays -0 protect apples from scab is the calyx cup spray applied when 90 per cent *of the petals have-fallen. This spray.protects fruit and 1foliage a- gainst both primary and secondary infestation o f scab spores. The spray mixture is 10 pounds flo- .ation sulphur, 3 poundB lead arsen­ ate, 3 pounds hydrated lime and-100 gallons o f Water: One gallon o f liquid lime-sulphur or 4 pounds o f dry lime sulphur and 5 pounds hydrated lime to 100 gallons o f water can be used if flotation sulphur is not' available. Wettable sulphur also can be used ac­ cording to directidnS on paskage. Joseph H. Adams* Xenia* has been named as a member o f Draff Board No. 2 for Greene Cpunty to fill the vacancy -caused by the,resignation o f James T. Hibbard, Xenia, M r. Adams is a Veteran o f World War One and- wiil serve by Presidential appoint­ ment. The appointment is made on recom­ mendation-of the local recommending committee, Judge Frank L. Jdhnson, Judge William B. McCallister and Karlh Bull, who certify ‘the name to the Ohio. Selective Service Board. There is yet- one vacancy to be fill­ ed, caused by the resignation o f Mr. John Munger, The local committee has been unable to get a member as yet fo r that place. Believing that the county being predominately agricul­ ture the heads o f farm groups were asked to certify several names that would accept but so far ho names have been presented after waiting several weeks. The person to be re­ commended mu *•he 45 years o f age, resident o f t. : county and hold a public office with executive duties. The ' nominating committee would like to have the name o f a farmer, one who has served in World Wh* I and one with a boy in service or no son that would be classified as eli­ gible or has been deferred, Washington is butzing with reports and rumors as to just why Justice James F. Byrnes resigned as Direc­ tor o f War Mobilization instead o f waiting until after VE-Day, as he originally announced he would do. There seems no question the resigna­ tion was unexpected at the White House. Otherwise, Judge Fred Vin­ son* who succeeds Byrnes as War Mo biliaer and "Assistant President"* weu ldnot have been appointed Chair­ man o f the Reconstruction Finance Corporation three weeks or four weeks ago. It is Well known Byrnes has not bean In sympathy with many o f the recent moveB to further regi ant the American people, and that S had grown tired o f "taking the trail" fo r unpopular orders issued in his name. Then* too, it is rumored, the former Supreme Court Justice 'has never forgotten the treatment he received in connection With the Dem ocratic Vice Presidential nomination' last July. PACKERS SET ASIDE MORE MEAT— Effective April 1* the War Food Administration has required all'pack era acting under federal supervision co set aside for government buyers greater percentage® o f utility bftef and o f the more 'desirable cuts of pork, Packers now/reserve for govern­ ment orders 80 percent o f all utility grade -beef instead o f the former 70 percent. Out o f the 100 pounds o f pork the packers now sets aside one more pound o f loin, one more pound o f ham* and one more pound o f shoulder. Packers also are requited to prepare for overseas, shipment 80 percent o f1the hams instead o f the cording to directions on package.

Smithy Ohio, Against Bretton Bank Congressman Frederick C. Smith, Marion, O., Rep., Tuesday, called the Bretton Woods proposal for an inter­ national monetary fund "a scheme to set up world Communism." "Avowed Communists were, quick to see this and rally to its support", Smith said in a CBS broadcast. Smith referred to the monetary fund plan as the Keynes-Morgenthau plan,' because “Lord John Maynard Keynes, an English Nobleman, contrived it and Mr. Morganthau, Secretary o f the U. S. Treasury, has assumed respan sibility for selling it to the American people and inducing Congress to a- dopt it,” "This scheme proposes that the United States be shorn o f her power over her money and that this power be handed over to foreign countries,’ ;he Ohioan continued, "Actually this power would, be tak­ en from Congress and given to the President of the United States and 43 foreign countries, The President would have only 28 per cent Of the voting power* and much less than this after other nations not now include: became members o f the scheme, This means that the President would be outvoted by about three to one an: that foreign countries Would be in control o f OUr money,* Guest speakets at Chapel Tuesday was Mrs. Wm. A. Boyce, wife o f the manager o f the College farm. She told *of her *experiences aB county nurse in Wolf county, Kentucky. Wolf county is about sixty miles west o f Lexington, in the Cumber1and moun­ tains. A "flash flood" was her intro­ duction to her new work, occuring the first day. A dozen people were lost and many homes and families disrup­ ted. What would you do for or say to a child whose parents had been swept into the great beyond? One can draw his own conclusions from the following incidents related by Mrs. Boyce. Seeking a certain house she was directed, "Go*ito that there second hill, go up the gully to the third house, Clearenough? Yes, if you know which is second hill and Which o f a dozen gullies to take. Seeking another home- she was ad­ vised she’d better put o ff the intended visit for the folks there were set to receive the "Revanoorers", said to be in the vicinity. She put o ff the visit! Rounding a mountain her car slid into the ditch, rear end solidly a- gainst the mountain, A mountaineer said, "Why don’t you just back out?” Asked how one could back through a mountain the answer was that he thought front end was sticking into .he mountain. Cure for diphtheria- grind up jimson weed seed, mix with hog lard and ptot poultice on throat of the victim.. These' people are our purest Anglo-Saxon stock, What an example of the, influence o f environ­ ment!! Mrs. Boyce’s talk was very interesting and much appreciated by all present. DR.

Bumper Wheat Crop Is In Prospect The favorable weathir means there is a bumper wheat crop in the mak­ ing, barring a big rain when wheat is in full bloom. Many farmers now are pasturing the wheat io hold it hack bath for the crop and to keep from smothering the young clover. There is yet an enormou? quantity o f wheat in storage in this countty- On more than one occasion the New Deal last year imported some 10 mil­ lion bushels o f wheat Horn Canada when the nation had a surplus crop on hand at the time.
