B. Lane, Fairborn pike and W, L. Douthet, Lower Bellbrook pike are cooperating in supplying information and materials -fo r . the Ohio Spray Service. This consists in reporting on bud de­ velopment, sending in leaves for study and in otherwise reporting on tree growth and insect and dis­ ease pests. From this information plant . fhologists and entomologists recommendations to grow­ ers on the control of fruit pests. This is relayed by circular letters, news articles and radio. For broadcast purposes the state is divided into 22 areas. Greene county is in the Warren area and includes: Preble, Mont­ gomery, Butler, "Warren, Clinton, Highland, Fayette and Green counties. |Wheat Doesn’t Look Good Greene county’s wheat doesn't so good. Especially those fields that were seeded late last fall and did not get o ff to'*a good start due to the dry weather at that time. However the crop came through the winter in good shape until a little over a month ago when we got our delayed winter. Dry, windy, weather can do a lot o f ^damage to the late seeded fields. But if we get typical April wea­ ther with plenty of showers we should have a good wheat crop. Yields Up One-Fourth: Ohio farmers have produced alout one-fourth more crops per aero in the past 10 yrs. than they did: in, the period from 1930-1939. J. I Falconer, department of rural economics, Ohio State uni­ versity, reports that hay yields have increased 28 percent; corn 26 peicent; and wheat 16 percent in the past decade. Bettor sc-ed, iro’ e ferti’ iser and lime, and bet­ ter conservation practices along wi*h good weather have been largely responsible. Spring Cleaning Is Only Begin­ ning Of Complete Spring Clean- Up Job jSpriug Clean-Up campaign for fir -2 prevention starts with the traditional job of spring clean­ ing. Because a clean hoys'1seldom burns, greater fire safety is gained by removing all debris vvhi.h might feed an unnoticed spark or flame. The National Fire Protection association, which annually spon- ois the drive, also suggests stor­ age o f gasoline and kerosene at ‘ axe instance from main build- h gs, pie.'eiably underground. A - vuid using flammable cleaning fluids. Cut down veg-lation in fields ami rake trash away from b-hiding.; and fences. “ Fix-up” is important, too: For instance, f i r up your roof so that it won’t catch fire from a cjjance.• spark. The NFPA recommends asphalt shingles or some other fire-resistant roofing. Repair worn or defective electrical e- quipment. Make sure lightning rod connections are tight. Clean heating plants and chimneys, as they are almost sure to be dirty after the winter heating season. For your own sake, take advan­ tage o f spring clean-up. Spittle Bugs Here Again Spittle bugs are here again and no doubt there will be a lot of them within a few days in many legume fields and strawberry patches. The small yellow insects are encased in masses o f spittle in the crown o f the plants, often within the folded leaf bud. The insects stunt the plant and reduces yield o f hay and seed of legumes. Sprays and dusts with BHC should be applied as soon as the bugs appear in large numbers. One application will increase yields up to 50 per cent. The air- plant is probably the best and the cheapest method on field crops. Recommendations fo r materials and methods o f application may be obtained from the county a- gent’s office in the post office building. Borer Resistant Com Hybrids Corn borers will** meet their match in four jiew rugged hybrid coins, available for 1950 planting. The four new Ohio hybrids are K-62, W-64, C-54, and L-41. They are described as outstand­ ing in stalk and shank quality.

Subject to Republican Primary May 2 MARK YOUR FOR 1 ALBERTL.DANIELS : FOR State Senator FIFTH-SIXTH DISTRICT (Clinton, Fayette, Greene, Highland & Ross Counties) SENATOR DANIELS is one of- the outstanding legislative leaders of the State. He is Secretary of both the FINANCE and EDUCATION Committees of the Senate, and a member o f the AGRICULTURE and MILITARY AFFAIRS Committees. SENATOR DANIELS has earned state-wide recognition for his work in the Senate in behalf of THE TEACHERS and PUBLIC SCHOOLS. SENATOR DANIELS has been a leader in the effort to expand and develop the state park system for recreational and conservation purposes. SENATOR DANIELS was co-author of the Bill providing a state bonus for Ohio’s World W ar II veterans, and author o f the Veterans* Employment Bill. SENATOR DANIELS has supported all hills favorably affecting the FARMERS. Following adjournment of the recent Session - SENA­ TOR DANIELS was again selected by the IS newspaper corres­ p o n d e n t s who are assigned to cover the Legislature - as one of the most valuable and capable members p f the Senate. REPUBLICAN TICKET ELECTION, TUESDAY, MAY breakage and broken stalks can be practically eliminated by growing these hybrids. Harvest­ ing losses caused by borer dam- age, stalk rot or weak shank have been less with these hybrids tlTan with any otnter of comparable ma­ turity. K-62 and_ W-64 are adapted to the northern half of Ohio while C-54 issuitable for both north and central Ohio. L-41 is a full-sea­ son com for the southern part of the state. In addition to being borer-resistant, K-62, W-64 and C-54 are resistant to aphids and leaf blights, while L»41 has only average resistance to blight but is extremely resistant to aphids. Com Planting Time Affects Borer Damage Greene county had its worst corn borer infestation last year and farmers are wondering what to expect this year—especially after a mild winter. However state entomologists claim, that on the average, borer damage has not yet been enough to justify the expense of insecti­ cidal treatment of field corn. Practical control at no extra cost.is recommended through se­ lection o f non-susceptible hybrids and by adjusting dates to avoid the crest o f each breed. Avoid very early. and very late plant­ ing. They urge farmers to avoid very eaiTy and very late planting. Optimum planting time for Greene county is May 10 to 20. Com planted at this time is 'ex ­ pected to be too small for the early summer moth flight and too young to furnish suitable food for borers o f the first generation. Later when the August moth flight occurs, these plants will be approaching maturity. Two New Weed Killers Two new chemical weed killers are recommended this year. They are 2, 4, 5-T and TCA. Close relative of 2, 4-D, the chemical 2, 4, 5-T is effective on many plants that failed to re­ spond to 2, 4-D. Most important to these are osage orange hedge and blackberries. It is also effec­ tive on poison ivy. TGA is the most effective grass killer so fa r developed. It is par­ ticularly effective on quackgrass. It seems most effective when ap­ plied at the rate o f 50 pounds per acre to the soil after the quackgrass sod is plowed. Plowing Contest May 11 and 12 Greene county’s„elimination for level and contour plowing will be held May 11-12, according to J. A. Odegard, county soil conserva­ tionist. Entries fo r the elimina­ tions will be accepted at the coun­ ty agricultural agent’s office un­ til May. Entries may be made by phone or mail following which rules and regulations will be mailed to entrants. These eliminations are held to select entrants to represent Greene county at the eight coun­ ty area contest held at a later date. The winners o f the area contest will compete in the State Contest for representation in the National Contest to be held in September. A committee, has been selected to judge each entrants plowing on their own farm. Each entrant will be responsible fo r the ar­ rangement for their own, plowing site to include headlands and. dead furrows and in the care of con­ tour plowing, waterways. The standard scoring sheet as used in the state contests wil be used by the judging committee in the selection of county winners.

M. ^ Feather-bedding scheme of Firemen’s Unioh to put an additional / ' fireman on dieseS focomotives has been Fact Finding Boards appointed by Presidents Roosevelt and Truman have said these demands were "devoid of merit" and they were Now the FiremenVleadec^ seek to p ^ a ^ ie ta iird id transportation to compel the railroads to employ a whojiy unnecessary additional fireman to ride on diesel locomotives. This sdieme is plain I H T H B L eaders op the Firemeu/s union have called a nationwide strike starting with fdur great railroads on April 28. These railroads are the New York Central, Penn­ sylvania, Santa Fe, and Southern. The union claim that a. sqcond fireman is needed on grounds o f sa fety is sheer hypocrisy. Safety has been dragged into. this dispute only in an unsuccessful effort to give a cloak o f respectability to vicious feather-bedding demands. After a careful study o f the first de­ mands o f this union, a Presidential Fact Finding Board on M ay 21,1943, reported to President Roosevelt that there was no need fo r an extra firem an on diesel locomotives.., Again, on September 19, 1949,. after a second hearing on the union leaders’;de­ mands, a second Board reported to Presi­ dent Trumarithat: "there presently exists no need for an additionalfireman *. .'upon either the ground o f safety *or that o f ‘ efficiency and economy o f operation.” - Safety Record,of Diesels Is Outstandingly Good Although therailroads accepted theBoard findings, the union leaders have brazenty rejected them. They represent that a o • extra fireman is needed for "safety” rea­ sons. -Here’s 'what the Board had to say on that point: “ The safety and bn-tim e performance o f diesel electric locomotives operated under current rules have been notably g o od . . . ‘ ‘Upon careful analysis o f the data sub­ mitted on safety, we have concluded that no valid reasons have been shown as a support for the Brotherhood pro­ posal under which a fireman would be required to be at all times continuously in the cab o f road diesels. The proposal . must be rejected.’1’ The real reason behind these demands is that the union leaders are trying to make jobs ^here there is no work. In otljei;' word#,’ a plain case o f 'Teather-beddingi’f -Thefailroads have no intention o fy ie ld - • jpg to^hese wastefulmake-work demands. :i . . . . . . "The Safety Record of Diesels is Outstandingly Good. . . ” P residential F act F inding B oard R eport Head these excerpts from official reports o f Presidential Fact Finding Boards: "The safety record o f Diesels is out­ standingly good, and it follows that the safety rules now applicable have produced good results.” ‘ Th e safety and on-time performance o f Diesel-electric locomotives operated under current rules indicate that Diesel-electric operationhas been Safer than steam locomotive’ operation. . . ” Remember! These are not statements of the railroads. They are just a few of the 'smanysimilarconclusionsreachedbyPresi- ^ i ^ t Trumaia’sipact Finding Boardwhich spent months investigating the claims of toe union leaders. . ’. e a s t e r n ___. - -■ S o u th e a s te rn 8 $ I I I 8 WESTERN ■ U n i L Wears'} afttint! ;thia and other advertisements to talk to you abouftmattera which are important to everybody; .AJfrA &'
