PRISON FARMS OF OHIO PRODUCE
LARGE AMOUNT OF FOOD

Charles McIntire, chief agricultur-
list of the Ohio board of administra-
ton, informs the Ohio food admins
tration as follows:
The new prison farm, London, Ohio,
is now furnishing all the milk and
cream used by the Columbus (Ohio)
State Hospital Ohio Penitentiary,
School for Blind. and School for Deaf.
This milk, which amounts in value
to almost 5000 per day. is produced by
prison labor, with the exception of
one employed man. The dairy at this
State farm is considered one of the
best in the country,
The champion butter COW in Ohio,
which is owned by the State, is To-
Gated at Athens State Hospital farm,
and has produced 80 pounds Of butter
in seven days.
The large gardens in connection
with Ohio institutions will be operated
more extensively than ever.h Or
chards are being planted extensively
and large crops of apples and peaches
will soon be available for institution
use. Quantities of pork fed on kitch-
en- and garden waste are also pro-
duced at these State farms.

beauty of harmony, and effective Cos

with that great chorus. As chorus
director and general campmeeting
booster Dodds is an unqualified sue

some OF the good things We are en-
