new GARAGE co.

The Central Garage and Batterv
Service is the style and title of tie
firm :lsat began business January
first, 1920 in the new Arcade Gar
age building corner of East Elm
and Fulton Streets, constructed by
NJ. Eugene Merrill.
The new firm is composed sf
Chas. Mattisor, Ralph Merrill and
G. Scott Roos. Mr.. George Hal
lauer formerly associated with
Chas. Mattison in the Battery Ser
vice in the Cochran Building has
gone back to his position with the
Northwestern Telephone Company
and the Cochran business room is
temporary headquarters for the
WHY'S Light Plant Agency over
which Mr.. c. P. Weber is now pre-
siding.
The Central Garage and Battery
Service will specialize in auto re-
pair and storage, Willard-Battery
Service Station and battery repair
of all kinds tire repair and vulcaniz-
ing, Firestone tires and auto az.
cessories.
We have no doubt that the new
firm will have all the business they
can attend to; for as horses, in the
days when they were masters OF
the highways, nust be shod so the
constantly increasing tribe of autos
that are crowding poor old Dobb.n
and Maud S. off the roads must be
"shod" and cared for internally as
we'll as externally and there will
always be work for many grooms.

FARM FIGURES

The Agricultural Glasses Of the
Wauseon High School have Keen do
ing some research work as to agri-
cultural conditions on the farms of
this vicinity, as regards crop yields,
gross incomes and a comparison of
systems of farming, with the fol-
lowing results.
On the 10 farms stndied, Is per
cent of the land was in meadow, SO
per cent was in pasture and the re-
naming So per cent was in cultivat-
ed crops.
The crop area was divided as fol-
lows: 5 per cent was in barley, "a
per cent was in corn 27 per cent il
oats and the remaining A per cent
in wheat.
The average acre yields were: bar
ley 26 bu., corn 43 bu., oats 35 bu.
and wheat 10 bu.
The cash money value of these
yields as based on the December
prices for these grains was: Bar
ley $43.19 per ere, Corn $67.95 pe
acre, Oats $28.00 per acre and
Wheat $42.19 per acre.
# the amount of grain raised this
year had been sold at the December
1919 prices, the income from the
cultivated land would average $42. 90
per acre, but on most Of these farms
the grain with the exception Of
wheel is as a rule fed to the horses
cattle, hogs and chickens.
The sales for cattle, milk, butter,
hogs poultry, eggs and grain was
$8469.03 less than the December
vaiI7a of o1.o1rryo
the same year on these farms.
This points quite clearly to the
fact that the farmer in this locali-
ty can with profit to himself, en-
gage more extensively in the grain
growing business, diminishing the
number of acres now in pasture
] About this time someone raises the
question Don't we have to keep
the cattle to keep up the fertility
of our land"? This is partly true
but the same purpose can be ac-
compIished by plowing under one
good crop of clover each year and
with far less work. In fact the
/ fertilizing Nalue of the manure
from the cattle and horses on thess
same farms, as based on present
prices for commercial fertilizers
only amounted to $4,000 still leav
/ ing a shortage of $5769.O3 or {
loss of $576.90 per farm.
1t will be observed no considera
tion was taken of the value of the
pasture and meadow that furnish
ed the food for the stock. 1t wa:
learned that for every head O.
! horses or cattle kept on these farm!
there was represented acres D
meadow and pasture.
These conditions are unusual
due to the present high prices fo
grains and the comparatively Low
prices received for animal product
and too many poor producer
among the cattles.

last Tuesday evening and organic
ed a debating league consisting of
the three schools above mentioned
Because of distance and the conse-
quent heavy expenses the Tiffin-
Bowling Green -Wauseon triangle
will be discontinued. The new lea
que is compact geographically and
because Of athletic rivalries should
profe an immediate success. Wau-
seon is again the smallest school
competing.
The question for debate is: Re
solved that one year of military
and industrial training should be
required Of every male citizen be-
tween the ages of eighteen and
twenty-one, in concentration camps
and under federal supervision. This
is new question but vital in our
present day life. The public will
find it the most interesting question
ever debated here.
The debate will be held about
April 1st. Wauseon will send a
team to Napoleon and Bryan will
send a team here.

siderable damage to property, the
other ten fires were quickly brought
under control by prompt action Of
the firemen and extinguished with
but slight loss. The total loss sus

$6730 Of which 1895 was on build

Figures that appeal to US as show
ing what the fire department ha.
saved for the citizens of Wauseol
are taken from the yearly record D
the fire department as follows.
The total value of buildings attack
ed by fire according to the recort
was $4,000. The loss sustained b.
fire on these buildings as givel
above, was 1895, the differenc

buildings during the year.
The total value of contents o
buildings attacked by fire was $910C
The loss sustained as given abov

Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1920-01-09

was one of the most economical
actions the council eyer made. And
the services of the firemen togethe-
with the risks they take and the
personal sacrifice and losses they
meet place the citizens under a debt
of obligation to them, that is by No
means discharged by the meagre
compensation which is made them.
The causes of fires in 1919, where
the causes could be ascertained Were
in the majority of cases sparks
from -chimneys or defective f1ues.

every one cooperate in the effort 10
prevent fires and householders
should look carefully to the renewal
of every possible cause of fire.

tain parcels of land located adjacent
to the present Water Works plant

and liberation plant, said land con-
tanning about 25 and 22-100 acres
and owned by Ernest Knerim was
presented and passed under suspen-
sion of the rules as an emergency
measure.
A resolution appropriating moneys
to the various funds for use during
the ensuing six months was passed
The out standing feature of this re-
solutions was, that the total amount
appropriated was $4,000 and the
total amount available for that time
is $4,000. However there is nc
chance that the funds appropriated
will be expended and it is very GER
tain that the council tviiJ ;expend
money that they do not have.
An appropriation to cover the
possibility of break down in machin-
cry at the Water Works materially
swells the total amount of appropria-
tions.
y The duties of the night police
were discussed and committee con-
sisting of Hough, Schlatter and
Davenport were appointed by the
Mayor to consider this matter ane
present accommodations to the
Gil.

selling War Stamps and Certificates
in 1919, cash sales $137,658 in ma
turity about $176,660, according to
the last report Fulton County stood
