Marcus Shaup is at­ torney for the plaintiff. There is a saying, or perhaps it is a song, which goes something like this; “ffie’ye come a.Iong ways together.” That’s the way we like to think about this community. Certainly the farmers, bankers, professional men, merchants, and this news* paper—with its subscribers and advertisers have come a long ways together. And'we’re going on—together—to a greater year in 1947 than we’ve ever known before. It may be a good thing, as some maintain, *. \ to stop and take stock at the end of a year, Y * to review, to analyze, and to resolve greater accomplishments in the New Year. But it’s never good to look back too long or too hard, Rather it is well to remember only the best, forget the worst, and look confidently ahead. We renew our pledge to you of service and cooperation. We reaffirm our faith and con­ fidence in the community. We continue our iwarmth of feeling for all our friends and ' patrons. And we wish each one of you, and all of you ,- AHAPPYNEWYEAR WMiatMmumwMHwmmwmwmwiwtiHMimmtwmm ALONG FARM FRONT E, A. Drake, Co.

Water Table Drops One Foot The water table dropped one foot in Greene county during November according to a report from the Ohio water resources board, The report is based on monthly readings by Greene county farmers of the water level in their wells. Will Remember 1946 For Crazy Markets Livestockmen ape likely to remem­ ber 1946 as the year when the mar­ ket went crazy twice, is the guess of C. W. HammanS, farm marketing specialist, Ohio State university, who says the market gyrations of July and August and the second series in October and November are with­ out precedent in marketing history. When price ceilings went off live­ stock in October, there was an in­ creasing supply of cattle coming from ranges, and the spring* lamb and pig crops were on their way to market Consumers were hungry for -meat, ,so farmers- had ran increased confidence in the market and many of them planned to put extra pounds on livestock to be sold later. Marketmen still advise feeding hogs out to heavy weights before selling them, bu t‘futures in the lard market indicate there is a limit some where on heavy hogs. Some markets already are discounting hogs over 366 pounds- 25 to 50 cents a hundred. The general opinion on livestock markets is that strong hog prices will continue through next spring and summer,* but the 1947 pig crop is ex­ pected to he the largest since 1943. Many farmers, plan to get their 1947 spring pigs on the market as early as possible and let the other fellow worry about price trends- during hog marketing peak next fall and winter. Look Magazine Pays Tribute to Brown Look magazine, week of Dec. 25, pays tribute to five leaders in the 86th congress and says “they will have the ticklish job of making a di­ vided government work—but the fu­ ture is hopeful.” The nine listed with splendid pictures of each are: Sen. Robert A. Taft, Rep. Joseph W. Mar­ tin, Jr., Rep. Clarence J, Brown, Rep. John Taber, Rep. Charles A. Halleck, Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, Rep Harold Knutson, Sen. Wallace H. White, Jr., and Sgn. Kenneth S Wherry. The comment for Rep. Brown is: ‘Behind this Ohio congressman’s de­ ceptively hearty exterior is a mind as forceful as a bear trap. He help- ad guide the Republicans to victory as one of the top oi'ganizers of the 1 9 4 6 congressional campaign Brown’s rough and tumble practices in debate and in campaign oratory are a current Washington political sensation. He is 53 year old and pub- .ishes several country newspapers.” Nations Hunt Methods Of Using Wool Stocks Delegates from many nations at­ tending the conference in London, England, to discuss the world wool supply decided the best solution for the problem of disposing of the huge wool stocks is to encourage greater consumption in all countries. Half of tfie 5 billion pounds of wool in world stocks on June 36, 1946, still is held in government pools. The spokesman for the United Kingdo'm said British surplus wool stocks will be marketed in an orderly manner along with annual wool clips. He thought mills could use a greater number ox types of wool than they have been accustomed to put into common woolen materials. for the petit jury venire, were drawn by the Greene County jury commis- ion for the January common pleas court term.

Land Prices Doubled From 1935-39 'Average Prices for Ohio farm land have more than doubled from their aver­ age level in 1935-39, and rural ec­ onomists at Ohio State university be­ lieve the present prices can get buy­ ers into financial difficulty if the buyer is a fSrmer 'who expects' eo pay off a large mortgage-on the farm from future farm income. The economists have -no concern with investors who buy farm land ex­ pecting to make a profit from its re­ sale. Those people are' dealing only with money and it is their money. The case is different wfoen a fariiier puts his life savings into a small equity on a farm and expects to pay the •balance-with income from the farm. If prices for farm products drop, this buyer immediately loses a con siderable part , of the income which he expected to uSe to reduce the mortgage on the land. Continued low prices for crops and livestock."may reduce income to appoint where int­ erest payments on the mortgage can­ not be made and the farmer loses his The humorous operetta, “Don Al­ onzo’s Treasure,” is to be presented by, the local high school in the opera house Jan 28 and 29, it was announ­ ced.
