That's what we've been won­ dering ever since we tried it the first time. We’re speaking, of course, about these apple pies you buy in a package.' It's really all right. I f this keeps up the state de­ partment o f education might as well cancel the home ec courses from their list of approved sub­ jects. A ll they’ll need to do is teach the girls, or boys for that matter, how to follow directions. That's still the hardest thing to get through anybody’s head. They’ll do it some other way in spite of anything you tell ’em. &Did you hear Bob Hope’s broad­ cast Tuesday night? The NBC funny man took a minute at the close of the program to give the schools a, boost. He said some­ thing like this. We expect the teachers to be super men and women, live on low salaries, work with antiquated equipment and textbooks and turn out geniuses. It really hit the spot. Charley Duvall said he had a kiss for me. It was like this—we l see more o f each other, it seems, in Wilmington than in Cedar­ ville. The Mrs.’s mother lives practically across the street from yours truly’s pappa and mamma. We asked him how he would drive home. Hft retorted with—* thru Xenia. We countered with-— thru Port and Jimtown is shorter and no traffic. Now he says you couldl’t drag him thru Xenia. All kidding aside* that 20-odd miles from here to Wilmington is one of the prettiest drives thru the best farm land that you'll find anywhere, not only in this, but any other state in the union, and probably anywhere in the world. I f you don’t believe us, we offer this as proof. Just this side of Port a farmer has a huge corn crib. It was full last fall—and it’s stiil full. And there’s plenty o f good looking hogs, sheep and cattle to be seen along the route, too. The Hoosier bard, James Whit­ comb Riley, said, “April’s too brash for me.” Last week we thought the same about May. Br-r-r-.«. Stood out at that ball game Thursday evening at the college when they played Xavier and came nearer freezing than we ever did at a November foot­ ball game. The McQuade boy who relieved Xavier’s starting pitcher in the game here Thursday is one of the Columbus Aquinas McQuades. In 1943 be was enrolled at Ohio State and did a little quarter- backing for the bucks. DUSTY MILLER Writes Patter Driving in five states during the so-called “ spring” weeks, I found trees and blossoms and grass and farming operations a full month later than last year. The only thing that can save the farmer this spring is his modern machinery, by which he can get as much done in a day— i f that day ever comes—as he use to in a week. Overheard: “ I told Cecil we’d just let it go dirty before we’d pay any $1 an hour l-” Sounds like crepe on the Cedar­ ville door—the police shot and killed Thurman Miller in Colum­ bus the other day, the papers say. A garden expert admits he sometimes cultivates the ground as many as six times before planting the seed, to kill weeds. Most o f us less experts gardeners want to see a weed before we haul o ff and kill it. In the question and answer de­ partment o f a newspaper some­ body asks: “What is a pu ffin?” . A-puffin’, lady, is a fa t man a-runnin’. The undertaker in the neigh­ boring town o f New Carlisle is named Dooms. A Hillsboro newspaper says a farmer’s barn burned, adding that it was “ loaded with hay and one calf.” I rode on a has the other day with a lady like that, only loaded twice as heavily. Of all sad words o f tongue or Friday, ifay 16, 1947 pen, the saddest to tne farmers are “ I t s rainin’ again!"’ The most sound criticism I’ve heard o f our rovir* mouthpiece, Henry Wallace, was a fellow bus- rider’s exclamation: "‘Aw let hi**? talk!” Simile: As certain as Truman will be a candidate. Definition: Pressure cooker—a wife cooking dinner for a “passel” of her husband's folks. Radio enthusiasts are now try­ ing to contact Mars. Shucks. ‘About the time they got hooked up, NBC will cut 'em off! The papers tell o f the death of Louise Homer. Many a Gedar- oldster remembers her as a fav­ orite on the phonograph in the days agone. She had a marvelous contralto voice. An editorial on “ The Careless Smoker” raises the question to those of us who live in hotels: “ Is there any other kind?” Is there anybody in the audi­ ence who ever had a sore place that wasn’t in the very spot it was the most inconvenient; to have a sore place? A t news stands I never pay less than 7 cents for a newspaper any more. The most pleased person I ’ve seen in a year^g time was the colored maid, an older woman, when I gave her the rose bud I had worn at a high school com­ mencement exercise. Her smile and gratitude were cheering. A psychologist says that hand­ writing is a key to character. No wonder the jails are all full! Along1 t h e Greene County Farm Front By E. A. DRAKE County Agricultural Agent Kimber Named Manager of Cincinnati Producers J. R. Kimber, former county agent of Greene county and who for the past 15 years has been associated with the Cincinnati association was named manager of the organization effective May 10 .

For the past 15 years Mr. Kim­ ber has been-associated with the organization, as field man, then manager of the Dayton Produc­ ers, and lately, in charge o f the order buying activities o f the and Hillsboro Producers associ­ ations. 4-H Club Advisors Honored One •hundred forty six years o f service was represented at the 4-H club advisors recognition din­ ner at the Xenia hotel last Thurs­ day evening when 40 club ad­ visors received recognition for outstanding service. The recognition dinner was planned by the county club coun­ cil with William Kyle chairman and Horace Ferguson, master of ceremonies. John Mount, assist­ ant state club leader paid tribute to the volunteer leaders fo r their unselfish work with boys and girls. Group singing was led by Mrs. Albert Mott. Special recognition was given Mrs. Myron Fudge of Silvercreek township who has served as a 41H club advisor 17 years. Lead- ei’s who have served eight years include Mrs. Robert Fulton, Mia­ mi township; Guy E. Smith, Ross township; and Frank Smith o f Jefferson township. Certificates of merit and leadership pins were awarded Paul Thomas, Sugar- creek township and Mrs. Robert Brannum of Miami township by Ohio State university for five years of club service. Orchard Fires, Reduce Frost Damage It takes alot o f fuel to keep a 40 acre orchard warm, especially when the weatherman lets loose a blast of frigid air as he did last xjreek. Fires blazed last Tues­ day night in the Charles Kinsey north o f Xenia and at a distance it looked very much like the or­ chard was 'on fire. However the fires were under control and were built fo r the purpose of preventing frost dam­ age to the young peaches and apples. In all 10 tons o f coal was used during the night in keeping the 90 fires blazing in the or­ chard. Mr. Kinsey reported he was able to raise the temperature two degrees in the area near the fires." From 2 and 5 a. m. Friday morn-; ing the temperature was 22 out­ side the fire area and 24 near the fires. While the result o f the heavy frost has not been learned as this is written, it appears that the damage was not serious. A check early Friday morning at the Lane Orchard, Fairfield pike showed little or no killing o f fruit. Grand Champion Steer To Visit Xenia His Royal Highness, King Sir­ loin o f 1947, better known in live­ stock circles as Royal Jupiter, the international grand champion steer, comes to Xenia fo r one day only, Saturday, May 17 when he will hold court at a free ex­ hibition at the Harrison Supply Company, at 2:30 p. m. "" The 1380 grand champion, raised by Oklahoma A. and M. college, took first place over every steer exhibited at the interna­ tional livestock exposition at Chicago. He was purchased by the Firestone Tire and Rubber company at a record price of $10.50 a pound. Firestone is send­ ing this $14,490.00 Shorthorn which recently was featured in Life magazine on a nation wide educational tour to exhibit him in leading cattle-raising com­ munities o f the country. A t the 2:30 p. m. showing, Joel Wright, a well known cattle au­ thority will discuss the feeding and the handling o f the steer and the winning points that go to make up a grand champion. A turnout o f livestock men, 4-H club members, Future Farmers and Junior Feeders is expected in town fo r the event and special arrangements are being made to entertain the crowd. Quality Cream Methods Demonstrated More than 200 dairymen at­ tended the quality cream meet­ ings at Xenia and Jamestown last week. The meetings were sponsored by the local and state extension service in cooperation with the dairy service unit and the Ohio cream improvement committee. Motion pictures on quality cream production were shown by Fred Greiner of Ohio State uni­ versity. He urged the use of me­ chanical cream separators stat­ ing that on the average 26 per cent of the cream is lost in hand skimming and that 22 percent is lost by the use o f water dilution separators. Nolan and Sam Butts o f the Clifton 4-H club demonstrated the production o f clean milk. Door prizes and ice cream were furnished by local dealers. Blue Mold Of Tobacco Southern tobacco growers re­ port severe outbreaks o f blue mold in tobacco beds. This dis­ ease psually travels into northern tobacco sections after appearing in southern states.-Local. growers are advised to tyeat plant beds with Farrpate either in spray or dust form. The first treatment should be inade when plants are the size o f a dime. Removing the cover cloth during the day helps control the disease. Quality Cream Meetings May 6 and 7 Door prizes and all the ice cream yon can eat will be two of the features at the Quality Cream meetings to be held at Xenia Central high school the evening o f May 6, and at Silvex*- creek township high school at Jamestown, May 7. Both the door prizes and ice cream will be do­ nated by the Local cream buyers. The meetings are sponsored by the county and state extension service in cooperation with the Ohio cream improvement com­ mittee. Myron Fudge, chairman o f the Greene county dairy ser­ vice unit, will be chairman of the meetings. Members of the Flying Far­ mers 4-H club of Clifton, under the leadership o f O. H. Butts will give a demonstration o f the production o f milk. Other fea­ tures include; a comedy film, a slide-sound film strip on quality cream, and a short talk by Tom Harmon, o f Ohio State university, on the producing o f quality cream.

Will Grow More Beets < : im^d | SUNDAY - International il SCHOOL L E S S O N ”:* By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D D Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 18 ; _ _ _ _ _ _ . i i Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­ lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious; Education; used by permission. GOD IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS LESSON TEXT—Amos 5:6-15,21-24. MEMORY SELECTION—Seek good, and not evil, that ya may live.—Amos 5:14. Social justice, though much spo-: ken about in recent times, has been the concern of right thinking men* ever since sin entered the world and’ started man’ s inhumanity toward man. In the prophet Amos we find' the eloquent and plain-spoken voice of one crying out against such"con-' ditions almost 800 years before Christ. ; This lesson is one which is of ut-, most importance, because in our present-day struggle with social in­ justice we have come to assume that it is primarily a political or economic question. The book of Amos and all other scripture rightly gets at “ the "focus of infection,” which is sin. Sin in the^ heart leads to sinful actions, and’ these inevitably involve others, and thus bring about social problems. I. God Is Great and JuSt (w . 6-9). From the little village of Tekoa and out of the wilderness In which he had been a herdsman came Amos, the man of God, to hurl his prophecy of disaster upon the heads of the complacent people or Israel and to take up a lamentation over those In Israel living in luxury and prosperity. It was true that the common peo­ ple were being ground under the \heel of cruel oppression, but who cared about the poor as long as they could he squeezed for taxes to sup­ port the luxurious comforts and pleasures of the rich? A prosperity which does not reach the homes of the poor is not a real prosperity at all. When in addition it encourages1 the “haves” to oppress the “have-; nots” it becomes a grave danger,; a real cause for lamentation. Over against the social sin and sorrow of his day Amos placed the almighty and righteous God. The! people were urged to seek him an< . his righteousness. Would they do "The answer-1came quickly." * Tty* II. Men Are Small and Wicked) (w . 10-13). f Thank God that it is not true of „ all men, but those of Amos’ day- (and many are like them in our day) turned away in hatred of the, one who dared to rebuke their wick-. edness. Sin is always a horrible thing, but when men who have fallen into sin are responsive to correction and ready to repent and forsake their sin, there is hope. The thing which made Isarel’s state so serious in the sight of God and of his prophet was that they had only hatred for those who were bold enough to reprove *them or to live among them accord­ ing to God’s standards (vv. 10, 13). “ They who will endure no criti­ cism have slammed the door in the face of truth. When we get to the place where we cannot endure hav­ ing our faults pointed out, we are on the way to moral collapse” (Douglass). III. Men Should Hate Evil (vv. 14, 15). * * .. God loves the sinner, even when he is in his sin, God wants to help ■him, and so pleads with him to hate ' the evil enough to forsake It, and “ love the good enough to turn to God • In repentance. God’ s Word condemns sin, but it also presents a remedy. In Christ we have the perfect, final, and com­ plete answer to the sin question. . Amos, speaking centuries before Christ, admonished Israel to repent ■ and to turn away from the evil which they had cultivated with such assi- duity, and to be equally zealous about doing good, in the hope that “ it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious” (v. 15). How favored we are to be per­ mitted not only to urge people to turn from evil to good, but to offer them the One who is the way,.the truth, and the life. Israel did not repent, but In folly depended on their religious cere­ monies to satisfy an offended God. The prophet therefore declares that IV. God Hates Hypocrisy (w . 21- 24). God had no pleasure In their re­ ligious observances and rites, be­ cause they were presented with un­ repentant hearts and by hands which were soiled by the oppression of their fellow man. Mark it well, God has no delight in the attendance upon church serv­ ices, beautiful though they may be; he does not listen to the sweet strains of sacred music, nor does he accept the rich.“ offerings!!.of those who live in unforsaken sin and who pay* for magnificent church1'-build­ ings and beautiful church services with money gotten by crooked deal­ ings and social injustice. God is righteous, and God’s Word always cuts right through the hy­ pocrisy of men. Let us heed the plea of Amos, that righteousness should run through our personal and na­ tional life “ as a mighty stream /* and then we shall be ready both a* individuals and as a people to wor­ ship him aright, , ■*- But Reduce Tobacco With favorably weather con­ ditions, Ohio farmers will plant , about 10 percent more sugar beets this year than were grown in this state in 1946. Machines which eliminate hand work* in raising beets, good prices offered, for the beets* and contract insuring the price per ton are factors causing the larger plantings. Buckeye tobacco growers are not as confident about the future for their crop* and they report intentiqns to reduce tobacco acre­ age about 2 percent, with most of the decrease to occur in bur- ley to.bacco. More acres o f cigar filler tobacco may be raised in. the state than were grown in 1946, but that increase would not offset the cut in hurley. Ladino Clover Good For Chicks Ladino clover, the giant form of common white clover, has proved to be a valuable crop for chickens. Ladino furnishes a per­ manent pasture and its tender leaves provide appetizing food, rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins, for chickens of all ages. One of the advantages o f the clover is that livestock will graze upon it evenly without leaving turfs in the field. It grows well on soil too wet fo r many other crops. It provides pasture even in dry seasons and i f apparently ‘ dead, a little shower will bring out new leaves over night. When mixed with alsike and brome grass, both of which are tolerant of wet soils, the pasture produced is as great as an alfalfa- brome mixture and fully as nutri tious. Starter Mash Important Part o f Chick’s Diet Baby chicks’ requirements for. nutrients are the most exacting during their early life. That is the time when they need the best feed available, a quality ration designed for fast growth, feath­ ering and vigor, and vitality to resist disease’s. Since chicks eat little during the first f e w weeks, quality should determine the choice of the starting mash. Best results are obtained when a starting mash is used without grain five or six weeks. At this time grain feeding may begin, gradually in­ creasing the amount until they are consuming about 50 percent grain and 50 percent mash at 8 t t h e Courthouse John W, and Ina J.
