BROWN Member o f Congress Underneath the surface present in­ ternational affairs are in such a 'touchy’’ state as to be causing con- tdefcable concern, An effort is being tnade to conclude the San Francisco Conference at as early a date as pos­ sible—probably within two weeks. At the moment there are several inter­ national situations whtfch may sud­ denly develop into serious threats to the whole plan fo r establishing a new world order to-preserve peace. According to an announcement by OPA, there will be eight percent less beef, ten percent less pork, and twen­ ty percent less lard available for ci­ vilian consumption in June than in May Ration point values on several types of meat and canned vegetables have been increased. Housewives, who are already finding it almost im­ possible to purchase .meat for the family table, will find the situation even more, difficult in the next two or three months. In the meantime black markets flourish. According to the House Food Investigating Com­ mittee, headed by Rep. Clinton J. An­ derson, who is soon •to ’ become the new Secretary o f Agriculture arid War Food Administrator, as high as ninety percent o f the meat and poult­ ry consumed in New York is sold in the black market, at prices ranging from ?5c to $1.25 a pound, Certainly black market prices do not prevent inflation. I f Senator Gagner, Bern., New York, and Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee has approved legislation to continue the Price Control Act and the Office of Price Administration for another year, without amendment or change, from 1 the time the present . law expires,^Tune 30th. A hard fight will be put up by those who wish to amend the present law, with the final result probably being a temporary • continuance of OPA anfl the present Price Control Act until January 1st, next. Such action would give Con­ gress an opportunity to review the whole price control .and rationing pro­ gram in October and November, after ‘ present food crops are harvested and domestic and foreign food needs,, as well as economic conditions, become more clear.

Agricultural Agent SWARMS OF APHIDS APPEAR— Swarms of aphids are destroying tomato and potato plants in many areas arid growers are urged to. in­ spect' their plants every night for the presence of this destructive pest. The aphids or plant lice are carried by air currents and within a' few hours after alighting they give birth to living young which soon destroy little toma­ to transplants. The insect can he controlled by spraying with'Black Leaf 40 (nico­ tine sulfate) in soapy water as soon as the lice are noticed, For small plantings use one and one half tea­ spoons o f nicotine to one gallon of soapy water. Translated into com­ mercial quantities it Is equivalent to one pint o f nicotine sulfate and two pounds o f dissolved soap in 75 gal­ lons of water. Nicotine dust may be used if there is no wind. Rotenone spray or dust may be tried in the absence o f nico­ tine, but poor results are likely to follow. A partial kill o f the lice ac­ complishes little because of their a bility to reproduce rapidly. The War Production Board has an­ nounced a policy o f lifting material and production controls as rapidly as possible, so as to permit private in­ dustry a free hand in reconversion to the manufacturing o f civilian goods. WPB will, o f course, continue to see to it that war production receives top priority and comes first in every in­ stance. Reduction o f war demands resulting from the end o f the war in Europe,* will, however, make possible heavily increased civilian production in many lines. It is being predicted that within the next three or four months nearly five million war work­ ers will be looking for-new jobs, thus making quick, reconversion to the manufacturing of needed non-war products necessary to prevent unem­ ployment. DISMISS SUITS The following cases have been or­ dered dismissed: Dprothy McKnight against Clyde McKriight and Bella E. Harness against Orie A. Harness. APPRAISALS The following estates were’ apprais­ ed in Probate Court,. Anton Biersack, Jr., gross, $1,000; deductions, $1,000, et, nothing. D. F. Dalhamer, gross $3,750;. de­ ductions, $2,279.25; net, $1,470.75. ORDER SALE Daniel Schuyler, admiistrator of es­ tate o f George M. Black was author­ ized to sell real estate at public sale: Gardner Takes Rap A t OPA Chester Bowles APPOINTMENTS Appointments were made as fol­ lows: Marianna Bogan, .administra­ trix o f the estate pf AnnaEllen Comp­ ton, late of Spring Valley Twp. under $1,000 bond; Leo Snodgrass, adminis- tor o f estate o f Ethel Snodgrass, late of Jamestown, under $2,000 bond. A. D. Henderson, administrator o f es­ tate of Joseph Bartlett, late of Yel­ low Springs under $1,500 bond; Lou Hattie Thompson, administratrix of estate of Eleanor C. Lewis, late of Yellow Springs, under $5,000 bond. Cong. Edward J. Gardner,- Hamil­ ton, who has been contesting with the OPA for more meat for citizens in the, Miami Valley charges OPA Ad­ ministrator Bowles, with unfair dis­ tribution o f meat and that the plan only works to the advantage o f the large Chicago packer. Reduction in quotas o f the Class II slaughterers in the district has left the district almost without meat. The price differentials force packers to prepare luncheon meats in order to. secure proper returns on beef. Gard­ ner says there can be no relief until Class II slaughters quotas are in­ creased in slaughterers quotas or re­ movable of present control and •ra­ tioning laws. While the Administration won its fight, in the House to extend the Re­ ciprocal Trade Agreements A ct, and to amend it so as to permit an addi­ tional fifty percent deduction in tar­ i f f schelules, the measure still faces a hard battle in the Senate. Many ob­ servers believe the Senate may refuse to approve the section o f the bill that would permit a further cut o f fifty percent in tariffs—or an overall re­ duction o f seventy-five percent. Tar­ iffs mean but little under the present war economy, when the U. S. is buy­ ing and importing most anything any country has fo r sale, and is exporting and giving away almost everything this nation ean produce. AUTHORIZE TRANSFERS Walter Biersack, administrator of Fressa Baker Inman, admiistratrix of the estate of Ondess Lamar Inman, were authorized to transfer real es­ tate. ORDER APPRAISALS The county auditor was directed to appraise the estates o f John C. Grant and Mary C, Reissenzehn., RELIEVE ESTATE The estate o f Evelyn Little Shaw was relieved from administration jfc. ( controversy Ihas arijsen over * 1 * ytfier Members o f the House shall reimbursed to as much as $208..00 per month, fo r ‘ long distance tele­ phone calls, printing, travel and other expenditures actually made by them, in behalf o f the Government, in car­ rying on their official duties. For many years Members o f the Senate have had such expenses taken care o f out o f a contingent fund which aver­ ages $350 a month fo r each Senator, but the Representatives have been paying their own expenses out of their own pockets. Senators also re­ ceive an average o f twice as much clerk hire as allotted House Members, although mariy o f the smaller States they represent have far less popula­ tion than the larger Congressional districts. Miss Lillie Stewart o f Columbus is visiting with Mr. and Mrs, Frank Crowell. Hog Numbers Drop Nearly 30 Per Cent In U . S. For Year Washington, D, C.—Reflecting big reductions in this country and Can­ ada, the worlds hog population de­ clined nine percent in the last year to complicate the problem o f stretching meat supplies over a war-weary world. Reporting to the Office o f Foreign Agricultural Relations said the reduc­ tion in War-besieged continental Eu­ rope Is much less than iri this country. Hog numbers dropped nearly 80 per cent in this country in 1944. This re­ duction reflects principally a short supply o f feed for the first nine months o f the year and a lowering o f the governments price guarantee for hogs. World hog numbers at the beginn­ ing o f4946 are estimated at 265,000,- 000 head compared with 280,000,000 at the beginning Of 1944.

Bailey, Jr., son of Mr, and Mrs. James Bailey writes he has visited the infamous Nazi bachau prison camp in Germany. Near the 3camp was about 60 box cars and in the last five were bodies sprawled on the floor, faces lean and shrunken from hunger. In the last car there were children. It is estimated that there were about. 286,000 prisoners held there between 1933 amt i945, A- bout 61,404 were released while it is thought some 260,000 were systemat­ ically executed, Some 2,000 to 3,000 prisoners were cremated each month. The report from Cpl. Bailey says the average German was far better dressed, fed and healthier than the average person m England, France or Belgium. Most o f the women wore silk stockings, Cpl. Bailey has been overseas for two years and is a mem­ ber of the Fortyfifth division and the Ninth air force.

CATTLE FEEDER SUBSIDY— Cattle feeders will receive 50c a hundred subsidy fo r cattle sold since May 19.. The payment applies to cat­ tle weighing 800 pounds or more that have been in the possession o f the sel­ ler for 30 days or more. Cattle qualifying for the payment are to be sold for slaughter and the slaughterers are to kill the animals within 29 days o f purchase;. The ac­ count o f Bale issued by the purchas­ er or seller agency MLpr$aented by the feeder to. the AAA office for the subsidy payment. LATE HAY HARVEST EXPENSIVE Thousands of tons of good livestock feed are lost every year, due to cut­ ting hay at the wrong time. Time of cutting effects the tonnage harvested, the quailty of digestibility of the pro­ duct, the amount o f second growth, and the permanence of the meadow. The principle loss in haying is caus­ ed by cutting meadows too late. The proportions o f different feed nutrient in hay change rapidly as plants ma­ ture. Red clover whi^hf contained 22 percent protein on May 19 had only 12 percent on July 7, and alsike clov­ er dropped from 24 to 14 percent pro­ tein from May 19 to June 30. An intermediate date should be chosen for cutting hay when most of the gain in weight has been made, but while the percentage of protein is Still high. Red clover sfiould be started at half bloom stage and completed by full bloom. Likewise the general rule for alfalfa is to start at the half bloom stage. BELOW STANDARD CREAM REJECTED— . Inspectors o f the Ohio Department o f Agriculture are required by law to reject as unfit for human food any cream which is rancid, moldy, or un­ wholesome for any reason, and the in­ spectors label condemned cream so it cannot be used as fluid cream as in processed foods Dairymen are warned that warm weather is always accompanied by an increase in cream rejected at cream stations. Lack o f ' cooling facilities, contamination by dirt, or contact with materials having objectionable odors are common causes o f rejected cream, RAISE PIGS ON CLEAN GROUND- Pigs raised on plean ground weigh­ ed an average of 28 pounds more each than pigs raised in jiog lots in exper­ iments supervised by the U.S; Bureau of Animal Husbandry, The heavier pigs were farrowed in disinfected houses and were then raised on clean pasture or other ground that was free o f round worm infestation. The pigs raised in contaminated lots acquired enough parasites to slow doWn their rate o f gain. DAIRY FEED PAYMENTS— Announced dairy feed payments are 46 cents per hundredweight for July through September, and 60 cents for October through March 1946, Butter- fat rates will b e 13 cents per pound for July through September -and 17 cents for October through March 1948; Foody Post Gets G ift On New Home From M r .-M rs . Darlingrton Captain Charles L. and M tb . Dar­ lington, Xenia, the former president o f the Hooven & Allison Co., and suc­ cessful, attorney-at-law, have made a generous donation to the Foody Post, American Legion, Xenia, o f $5,40Q'to cover the federal - state inheritance taxss.' The Post was given “ The Kingdom”, by the heirs o f Mrs. Helen Moorehead Taylor, formerly the home o f the King family. The Foody Post is now conducting a campaign to raise an endowment to maintain the.home as headquarters for returning service men as well as those o f World War I. Capt.

The Post has also, received a five acre tract on Country Club lane, the. gift o f Mr. Ernest Schmidt. The land will be sold and the sum turned into the endowment fund. This offer was made a year ago when the Post start­ ed a movement -to get a permanent home, Lt. Gen. Congratulates Harold Rotroff Group Lt. Gen. James H.

Rotroff o f this place was a mem­ ber. He said “ I'wish to extend my personal congratulations and my heartfelt appreciation to every one o f you for the magnificent job you have done,’ The Eighth Army force was the world’s mightiest strategic bombing force. Its personnel was equivalent of 12 infantry divisions, and it could send 21,000 airmen in 2,000 four-en­ gine bombers and 1,000 fighters over Germany at one time, a combat effort possible only through the support of tens o f thousands, o f non-fiyig spec­ ialists. Since August, 1942, when combat operations began, Flying Fortresses and Liberators o f the Eighth dropped more than 700,000 tons o f bombs on enemy targets. Fighter pilots shot down 5J250 planes and destroyed- 4,- 250 others on the ground. Bomber gunners shot 6,000 German intercep­ tors out o f the air.
