SMALL FIRE SUNDAY The fire department was exiled *ttt Sands) night when a fire did small damage at: the home e f Mrs. Dosie Stewart. The property la owheed by W, A . Smith, Economists Advise Safety In Spending Average net income fo r Ohio farm­ ers in 1946 will be about $2400, the highest orr> record; and many Buck­ eye farm owners are considering whether it will be better fo r them to improve their present farm acer- age or to buy additional land which has doubled- in price since prewar years. Rural economists at Ohio State university believe it is a better pol­ icy for most farmers to apply lime and fertilizer on land already owned and to buy machinery where that can be used advantageously than to buy additional land. Y'he economists expect an increase in farm'operating expenses in 1947 and a decrease in avenge net inoome per farm. Increases in crop ^yields per acre can be obtained by-.use o f lime and fertilizer and by increased plantings o f clover and alfalfa. These increas­ es can be obtained* at a cost o f $10 to $15 per Sere but extra farm land will cost from $150 to $200 and us­ ually must be bought in blocks o f 40 to 120 acres, Lime and fertilizer ap­ plied to Ohio soils will help crop yields fo r three- or four years and the initial cost docs not place any hazard on future financial security. Mortgages assumed oh high priced land which must be paid ih a per­ iod o f declining prices are a definite financial risk. Forester Offers Free Service In recent years there has been a trend toward the cutting o f wood­ lands on a marked tree basis. This method o f harvesting takes eitly se lected trees in contrast to thS old practice o f selling the whole woods fo r a lump stem, This method, leave* * good stand to grow for the next harvest. Inter­ ested farmers may secure the ser­ vices of their locpl farm forester, ffte of charge, to show and holy them select trees to be marked and to make reoommandations for a mote product^*,way of mafcaging their woodlands,‘ Just drop K card to the Eatm Forester, -Ohio Division o: Forestry, Wooster, Ohio.
