J— Friday, January 21, 1949 The Cedarville, O. Herald GoodFeed, CareMean Long-Wearing filialia Well-Nourished Plants Resist Winter Killing A deep, long-wearing carpet of alfalfa on rolling fields is a matter of liming, keeping the soil’s dinner pail well filled with phosphate and potash and following pasture man­ agement methods that prevent pre­ mature' “ baldness.” Alfalfa will have a long life if, it is well fed and cared for. When the plants are well nourished they _ vWA . fq are hardier and better able to re­ sist diseases and winter killing. They will anchor their roots firmer and establish healthier, thicker growth above ground. Like other deep-rooted legumes, alfalfa takes large helpings of phos­ phate and potash out of the soil. Agronomists recommend that heavy amounts of fertilizer carrying these nutrients be applied at the time of seeding. The life of alfalfa can be pro­ longed and yields increased by top­ dressing with phosphate or potash in the spring or fall. Tests at state agricultural experiment stations have shown that applications of 300 to 600 pounds or more per acre have been beneficial. * Goodjpasture management, means going easy on grazing until stands are well established. It is wise to follow a’ rotation plan so cows will move from one field to another, be­ fore the pasture is grazed down, to the ground. By this system the pas­ ture will have a chance to renew it­ self while cows are on other fields. Reverse irrigation When it comes to moisture some farmers have a two-fold problem. For occasionally it is necessary to remove excess moisture from a wet part of a farm while irrigating adjoining dry area at the same time. Such actually is the case on a Virginia farm. The story behind this southern farmer’ s problem is simple: His irrigated land was producing satis­ factorily—but the low, wet acreage adjacent to it was wholly unpro­ ductive. The solution to making both areas equally productive also proved simple. Here’s what was done: No change was made in the irri­ gation serving the high, dry land. The low land, however, received an “ irrigation in reverse” treatment. Society First of all a ditch was dug across jh e area so that the excess mois- "tufe' would drain into it. Then a vertical type centrifugal pump, as shown in the accompanying illus­ tration, was located at the roadside end o f the ditch. With this arrange­ ment, the farmer got practically automatic results. Drainage from the low land is pumped out as rapidly as it ac- cumiilates in the ditch. But the moisture isn’t wasted. It flows into a creek which supplies water need­ ed for the more orthodox irriga­ tion system serving the farmer’s drier acres. Now, he reports, the formerly neglected wet land is pro­ ducing on a par with; the irrigated acres. low er Support Prices, 6oal$ Set lor Potatoes Lower support prices and lower goals for 1949 early potatoes have been announced by the U. S. de­ partment of agriculture. Agriculture Secretary Charles F. Brannan said the low parity price had been set with extreme reluc­ tance, and should not be regarded as a precedent for other commod­ ities. The goal for 1849, as usual.

CroneResigns FromCounty DraftBoard Robert E. Crone, Democratic member o f the three-man hoard o f county commissioners, dis­ closed last Wednesday he has re­ signed from the county selective service board because o f tbe press of other duties. Mx*. Crone said he also planned to submit bis resignation as may­ or and a commissioner for the vil­ lage of Osborn at the^group’s reg­ ular meeting Monday night. He has been mayor o f that town more than seven years. Probate Judge W. B. McGallis- ter, Jr., who made recommenda­ tions fo r appointees,, along with R. A. Higgins, Xenia, said he had received a request by Chester W. Goble, former state adjutant gen­ eral and selective service direc­ tor, for a replacement recommen­ dation. Mr. Crone had served on the board since its organization last August under the ' neacetime draft law and was its chairman. Other members are L. S. Barnes, Xenia, and Melvin Johnson Wil- 131Percent Above1941 A single day in a hospitaLhas cost as much as $397.25, reports James E. Stuart, executive di­ rector o f Hospital Care corpora­ tion, Cincinnati. That amount, the largest pay­ ment made last year by Hospital Care corporation fo r a single day of hospitalization, was paid fo r a Cincinnati member. A ma­ jor part of the hill $335.75 was fo r drugs which were prescribed. Stuart cited another cage where just the penicillin given a mem­ ber cost Hospital Care $1,094.15. He pointed out that full payment is made fo r all services received by members who are admitted for treatment to hospitals, regard­ less o f amount or cost, ulus a credit of $5.00 per day "Toward the room charge. A 25 percent advanee in the cost of hospital service .during 1948 was reported by Stuart. By the end o f the year, the average daily cost o f caring for patients was 131 percent above the 1941 level, with further increases anti­ cipated duririg\1949. , Higher hospital service’ ' costs and a higher percentage o f mem­ bers hospitalized accounted for a record payment for members hospital hills during 1948. Pay­ ments for members sent to hos­ pitals totalled $6,130,218 last year, Stuart said, -with 92% per­ cent of all income going to pay current hospitalization expenses of members. This compares with a 1947 payment to hospitals of $5,014,384'. berforee. * , The Osborn Democrat also served on tbe county board which administered the area exclusive of Xenia city and ‘township, all during World War II. The pres­ ent hoard has jurisdiction over - both Xenia and Greene county. WaterCups IncreaseMilk. Production _ Test results show that the av­ erage dairy cow will drink over twice as much water when auto­ matic watering cups are provid­ ed than ,she will when turned out twice daily to drink from an out­ side water tank. Considering the fact that 87 percent o f milk is water, it can easily be seen how important a good fresh supply of water is to increased milk production. J 3 ie milk production of some herds has increased as much as 25 per­ cent when automatic watering cups were provided. Photo above shows cow drinking from one o f these cups. According’ to I. P. Blauser, Ohio State university extension agricultural engineer, a dairy cow will drink 15 to 25 gallons of water per day. Thus, a herd of 10 cows will require an average of 200 gallons of water) per day. To pump this amount of water by hand would require 3-4 of an hour daily or a total of 275 man hours per year. This would he equal to 27% full ten-hour work­ ing days per year. The cost o f electricity to pump the same a- mount of water for one year would he not more than $5.25. An electric pressure water sys­ tem is no longer considered a luxury down on the farm. It is a necessary tool in increasing production, and decreasing the drudgery on the modem farm of today. The old hand water pump is as, out of d_ate as the horse and buggy. . Education Show To Be in Dayton Ohio Sehpols in ’49 a new slide film featuring Robert Waldrop, well known Ohio radio person­ ality, will be featured in a special preview showing in this area at a meeting o f civic arid educational leaders to be held Wednesday eve­ ning, Jan. 26, at the hoard of education auditorium in Dayton. The film depicts a pictorial tour of Ohio schools and Mr. Wal­ drop interviews a number of prominent Ohio educators, par­ ents, and community leaders as they discuss the critical prob­ lems for which school people must find a solution. B. I. Griffith, Columbus, assist­ ant secretary of the Ohio Educa­ tion association which prepared the film, will talk briefly at the meeting. at Dayton are in charge of supt. • Arrangements for the meeting E. E. Holt, Springfield and .Paul Sammons, Springfield teacher. More C licks.Next Year Apparently we will have plenty o f chickens and eggs in the year ahead according to hatchery re­ ports. The department’s estimate of chicks produced by commer­ cial hatcheries in Nevember is 58,576,000, the largest number bn record fo r that month. This 'figure is 61 per cent more than November, 1947, and 57 percent above tbe 1942-46 average. Probably one major reason for are large number of chicks being hatched is the average cost of the farm poultry ration. In mid-Nov­ ember it was $3.59 a hundred compared with $4-71 in Novem­ ber last year. The egg feed ratio is the most favorable since 1943, the chicken feed ratio the most favorable since 1944, and the turkey feed ratio most favorable County 4-H Members Honored at Meeting Myron Fudge, Srivercreek township chairman o f ihe South­ western Ohio Ayrshire Breeders club, presided at a district meet­ ing at the General Denver hotel, ' Wilmington, Thursday evening.
