BROWN Member o f Congress • . "he measure sponsored by Presi- atvTruman fo r .the Federal Govern- ■ memt to underwrite unemployment A compensation up to twenty-five dollars a week fo r twenty-six weeks, which passed the Senate ten days ago in an amended form; has been shelved for the time being, at least, by the -Ways and Means Committee o f the House. The Committee gave present unsettled employment conditions, including 'the strike situation, as reasons for indef­ initely postponing further considers- tion o f the bill. The House has passed, and Bent to the Senate the Robertson Resolution 1 which will make Federal aid for high- way purposes,’ under the Postwar Law, available immediately instead of July first, next. This will permit State Highway Departments to begin road construction work quickly, thus ■t helping to furnish employment. i . ' ■■ The House will have before it this ; t-- • week a bill authorizing President to recognize the Executive Branch' of the Government by transfer or con­ solidation o f administrative' agencies and departments. Republicans will en­ deavor to amend the proposed legisla­ tion so as to require any reorganiza­ tion plans o f the President to be sub- >• ject to'the approval of both branches o f the Congress. Many members of the House believe the greatest present need is the complete abolishment of many government agencies and jobs, instead of their, transfer to some other government department. ■ ■ ■ # - The Ways and Means Committee of the House has started hearings on the “ quickie” tax relief bill, which will be more or less stop-gap legislation to ' give relief on 1946 income taxes It is ' being predicted war-time corporation ' excess profits taxes will be repealed. and individual income taxes reduced on an average o f somewhere between ten and twenty percent. Tax legisla- . tion to be effective on 1946 incomes, .must be enacted into law and approved by the President by November first. -The Special Joint Congressional ’ Committee .to Investigate Pearl Har- * bor has employed as it’s General Coun- e» sel, Honorable Wm.

Agricultural Agent CORN HARVEST LATE— ' If the present weather continues and the first frost occurs at the normal time this season, there will be a con­ siderable acerage o f corn caught with a grain moisture content o f 35 to €0 percent, In a normal season, corn should have a moisture content be­ tween-20 to 80 percent when the first frost occurs. Within a few days there after, the corn is safe to crib. Many fanners are njaking provis­ ions* to crib high moisture' corn by providing added ventilation in the cribs. They include horizontal A- shaped ventiliators extending the full length o f the crib; horizontal cross ventilators spaced every 3 to 4 feet, and forced ventilation with a fan blow­ er. Adding one pound of salt to every 100 pounds of corn aids in preventing molding. Rarid Fesjt Pre-Opener For National War Fund In Xenia Tonight WHEAT SEEDING DELAYED— The late corn harvest this fall will delay wheat seeding until well beyond the Hessian Fly safe seeding date of October 2nd. A year ago farmers were cribbing corn and wheat seeding was well under way. Now the prob­ lem arises as to whether the corn crop can be harvested early enough for wheat crop to get a good start before winter. ' Liberal amounts- o f fertlizer will help late seeded wheat overcome this handicap. Every farmer should use at least 250 to 300 pounds per acre on wheat. If the meadow seeding is to be held more than one year, heavier applications will be found to be highly profitable. The total fertilizer for the rotation should equal 150 pounds per acre per year. ' MARIETTA TIMOTHY— . Marietta timothy is a new improved- timothy of superior yielding ability and quality of forage. It was devel­ oped by the Ohio Experiment Station and is earlier in blooming than com­ mon timothy, yet leafier, higher in protein content, more resistant to leaf diseases, more productive of hay, and retains the green color in its leaves until late stages of development. Marietta heads, blooms und matures 4. to 7 days earlier* than common tim­ othy. It arrives at a stage suitable for cutting-for hay at nearly the same time as alfafla or red clover. It makes more late summer or early fall growth than common timothy. Registered seed may be secured by farmers for producing registered or certified seed. WHEAT CROP HIGHEST ON RECORD— The 1945 wheat harvest is estimat­ ed at 1,146,283,000 bushels, the high­ est on record ,in this country,, Last year’s production was the highest on repord up to that time, but this year’s crop is reported to be 68 million bush­ els greater than the 1944 crop. Ohio’s wheat crop this year is the highest on record, exceeding the next largest crop of 1919 by four million' bushels. Acerage seeded for harvest in 1945 was slightly greater than in re cent years, but the main reason for the higher reduction was the high yield per acre, 27.5 bushels. The 10-year average yield in Ohio is- 20 bushels.

FRIG1DARE STRIKE TIES UP COLD STORAGE EQUIPMENT XENIACITY ISENJOINED BY COUNTY The Xenia City- and County contest over parking space around the court house square reached a climax Wed­ nesday morning when the city started to have parking meters installed on the west, side o f Green street The county commissioners through Pros­ ecutor Marcus Shoup obtained a t«m* porary injunction, in Common Pleas court restraining the city from further installation work until thp case is - disposed o f in court. The question as to the rights qf the city in entirely enclosing county prop­ erty with parking meters could ppt be settled by adjustment between the two commissions. First the cjjty offered the county two parking spaces and the commissioners rejected the offer but suggested that eight spaces would he necessary to care for automobiles fo r the use o f county officials. The city laughed at the suggestion. The situation during the following weeks brought out nothing from the city but the county commissioner* did some investigating. The county had given the city four and one. half feet o ff the west side o f Green street a few years ago to widen the street fpr double auto parking. The agreement was verbal at the time and ho land Was deeded the city. A new sidewalk was laid to confirm, to the city request for street widening. It, is said'pro­ test was made at that time by at least one member o f the county .commission that it had no right to give aw iy ap y part of county property for any pur­ pose. The present board in investigating the original deed, o f the land for the street finds an unusual.provision that the street was dedicated for street purposes only, going and coming, and that no obstruction could be placed to obstruct traffic The street being nar­ row as it is now has ma'de it necess­ ary for the city to make it a .one-way thoroughfare.. Parking on Green st. under this, provision would be elimi- . nated altogether and the street kept open for double traffic. * The commissioners find that if the county permitted city parking all a- round the four sides o f the court house square, there would be no'place •to • unload or load property that would be heeded by the county or that the gen­ eral public could not load or unload passegei’sn at the curb as is frequently necessary in certain court proceed­ ings. The county was not worried over parking space fo r the two or more cats used by the sheriff’s office as most all cities having parking me­ ters respect all cars belonging to the sheriffs, all/State owned automobiles as well as all federal used cars. While the city was demanding parking space around the court house, ther Cpmmis- sion was withholding the space along side the city building on Detroit st, for city cars alone, and not fo r the public. The city has permitted all state highway police to park in the city reserved space but was not willing to recognize the county. Seeing the county was standing pat to preserve county interests the city commission a few days hack hurriedly passed a new amended ordinance to give the county two parking spaces on the eastside o f Detroit a t. for use o f the sheriff and six spaces on the weBt side of Green St fo r county cars. The county after investigating the deeds ignored the city offer because the parking meters on the west side of Green st would be placed on county owned property over which the city has no control. ' The parking situation has developed debate among those who favor the meter plan and those citizens who do not. An element o f property owners on other streets has shown dislike for the parking plan fo r it has forced .the “ all-day” parkers to keep their autos in a solid lirie shutting o ff property owners from loading or unloading pas­ sengers at the curb. Qne merchant reports the views o f a city traveling salesman that alighted from the Day- top buss, with few cars moving at the hour o f day he arrived and few cars parked in the meter zones, this salesman stated to the merchant,'that “Xenia had all the appearance o f be- a deserted village.’ The issue we are told is also being reflected irt the city commission owtpaign wbioh may or may not be of advantage to the Fourth Ward candidate. Three thousand CIO members Work- hig-at the Frigidarc plant in Dayton for higher wages has forced some 10,- 000 other employees out o f work. .The strike has tied up part o f the equip­ ment necessary for the new locker system being installed by David Rob­ ison, Jamestown.
