Fulton County Farm Bureau Has Il
Big Improvement Program Out
hned-Farmers Of The County May
Get In The Game.

10000 acres of corn, in addition TO
ensllage corn, are grown in Fulton
county each year. If the average
yield could, by better methods, be
increased l bushel per acre it would
mean at $100 per bushel, $4,000 to
Fulton county farmers. 10000 bu-
shells OF oats are grown in Fulton
county each year. Treatment of all
seed for smut would undoubtedly in
crease yield 2 bushels per acre adding
10000 .bushel, worth $4,000 to Full
ton county farmers.
Over 1000 tons of fertilizer are used
In Fulton county each year, better
knowledge of the best kind to use is
needed.
Only about 10000 acres of clover
and 5000 of alfalfa are grown in Full
ton county. For the best interest
of our soil the acreage of these crops
should be doubled.
There are 5000 horses IN Fulton
county, but only 10 pure bred stations
10000 milch cows but only PSI pure
bred bulls.
5000 sheep but only 12 pure bred
rams.
$4,000 hogs but only SO pure bred
boars.
During the ensuing year the Full
ton county Farm Bureau will endeav-
or to carry out an aggressive pro-
gram for the improvement as suggest
ed above.
Every farmer in Fulton county will
have a chance during Thanksgiving
week to get in the game and support
their County Farm Bureau in carry
ing out its program.

UNUSUAL

Judge A. M. Barber states that the
Probate Court of Fulton County has
had no insane cases to deal with since
August. This is indeed unusual as
the records show that in the past
cases of this character have averaged
at least one or two for each month.
We cannot refrain from speculating
on the possible reasons for this de-
crease in mental diseases in this coun-
ty. Of course it's only speculation
but we venture to suggest that pos
slbly the terrible anxiety and sus-
pense occasioned by the absence of
relatives and friends in zones of peril
and the many calls upon people TO
selves in meeting the extreme needs
which have risen from the terrible
ravages of war; may have something
to do with maintaining the mental
equilibr. UNI among the people. Is
it not true that one of the important
factors leading to mental disturbances
is the concentration of the mind on
the individuals personal condition and
grievances Restriction of thought
and interests to the small circle of
ones self may well weaken the mental
systm so that other contributing caus-
es such as malnutrition, poisons not
eliminated from the circulatory sys-
tenn, severe nervous shock etc. may
easily effect serious mental disturb
ance. We are not trying to give d
scientific dissertation, but we do be-
lieve that its good common sense to
cultivate interests outside of our own
pei sonality: tbs person who does most
to help others is generally the person
who bears his own load most easily
and maintains a sound happy mind
When we quit our selfshness we quit
SO per cent of our meanness and gain
so per cent of healthfulness.

N Fulton county who esteemed him

we owe as a community to such as

ing is the obituary of Mr.. King read

the training and instruction of men in
the camps and cantonments, believe
that it is Of tremendous importance
that the men who do not get to camp

directed the United States Public
Health Service to give every class
one man in Ohio the opportunity to
hear the lecture, Git to F ght,"

county have been directed to arrange
for meeting of class one men and
Local Boards will send out Official
not ,ces to all men in each county to

anl doctors. The date set for the

DON'T FAIL
THE BOYS NOW
A1I IO I . 4NO w
Wauseon Ohio. Nov. 18 1918


To subscribers to War Chest:
By reason of the fact that hostil-
tiles have ceased some, subscribers to
the Fulton County War Chest may
have the impression that no more
funds are needed and no further pay
meits are necessary. Nothing can be
farther from the facts. The call for
funds is just as urgent now as it has
been at any time, for the reason that
the conditions which required financial
aid have not ceased simply because
hostil:ties have ceased. Many of our
boys will be in France for months to
come and we must not forget the un-
told suffering and starvation which
are still faced by thousands and thou
sands of people across the sea.
Our Association has paid $4,000 to
the Red Cross and has pledged $780,
600 additional to other war relief work
To meet this pledge it will require
payments of subscriptions for the
greater part Of the year from the be-
gining of our work, which was in June
to say nothing of the calls for funds
yet to come in. Will the people Of
Fulton County have it said that they
made a pledge for the relief of suffer
ing humanity and then repudiated
that pledge? We at home have lived
in security and plenty, knowing moth
ing of the agony of homeless and
starving thousands, and shall we now
let our selfishness or ignorance OF
conditions cause US to forget our duty
to those who have sacrificed their al
in order that we may have lived in
security.
Any cessation of payments to the
War Chest at this time will be looked
upon with disfavor by the great ma
jority of the people of this county
and will come far short of perform; ng
full measure of patriotic and char.
liable duty, and the officers. of this
Association will go the limit in ar
effort to enforce the fulfllment Of al
pledges.
For humanity's sake there must be
no let up now in our support of the
purpose Of the War Chest.

WAR SAVINGS STAMP PLEDGES
FULTON STILL UNDER QUOTA

All persons who gave their pledges
for the purchase of War Savings
Stamps on or before Nov. 18th and
have not yet made the purchase
should do so at the earliest possible
moment, to save the committee the
trouble of sending out personal no.
tices to ach one.
The committee was just ready 70
report our county "over the top"
when it was discovered that an error
had been made by the central account
ing postmaster at Wauseon in his
method of reporting. This makes our
county still $4,000 under it's quota.
Thus it is necessary that every per-
son who has pledged to buy stamps
before November make his purchase
as soon as possible.
Plans ar being made to push the
sales sufficient to make up our quota,
so that Fulton county may keep Up
her splendid record of doing her whole
duty. Be ready to do your share.
