The replies indicate that a careful

Many of the replies called attention
to the successful conduct of good

state highway program is under the
direction of one man, in support of
their approval of the single commits

It also was suggested that in the

FARMERS AND !
UNEMPLOYMENT

While the conference at Washing
ton last month did not settle the
question of unemployment, it called
attention to some fundamental facts
in the situation, says the Wall Street
journal. Among these are the rela-
tions between agriculture and indus
try, which are little appreciated. The
causes for depression, and therefore
unemployment, are worldwide. But,
in the opinion of members Of the
committees whose reports are being
published, much of the industrial dis
tress and unemployment is caused by
the spread between the prices the
farmers receive and those they are
obliged to pay.
Anyone who studies crop conditions
ard prices can readily see that the
gross farm income this year will be
far below that Of last season. Con-
sequently the farmers purchasing
power is less. This would not be 50
if other prices were reduced in such
proportion as to give an equal ex-
change value for the products OF the
farm. But they are not. On Page

ADULTERANTs INCREASE

The relative cost Of butterfat in
comparison with that Of oleomar-
garine and the rapid strides made in
the manufacture of this butter sub
stitute, has been an incentive for the
adulteration of butter. This practice
of adulteration is rot limited to butt
ter alone but is also practiced in pre-
pairing condensed milk, ice cream and
other dairy products that depend on
the fat content for their commercial
value. Whether the adnlteration Of
dairy products is general one or
not, many complaints of suspected
adulteration have been brought to
our attention.
The manufacture Of margarine is
Of recent origin, dating back to the
Franco Prussian war. The substi-
tutes for butter, sold as oleomargar-
line, are composed principally Of ami
NAL and vegetable oils and fats. More
recently the process Of hydrogenating
! oils (the hardening Of vegetable
|oils to any degree) has been intro
duced. This has made II possible IA
use oils and fats which prior to this
process were not suitable except only
| in limited quantities. ss

The store was packed that even

fore noon the next day Mike had no
Bantam eggs left. IN few days
the farmer received q letter from
Mike and as he opened it, his wife
looked over his shoulders while he
read it: "Dear old friend Sold all

ing, at go cents per dozen. Thank
YOU, bring in some more. AS ever,

Feeding Water in Winter a
Nearly every poultry writer tells
you to give warm water to your hens
in winter If you want eggs, and as
a result it's nothing uncommon to
see the faithful housewife wading
thru the snow to the chicken house
with tea-kettle Of boiling water for
her hens, expecting some of these
days to surprise her hubby as he
comes home from the corner grocery
| (where he repairs chairs), by show
ing him that she knows how to get
eggs in winter.
Now the writer is just contrary
enough to take no stock in the hot
water theory. 1t takes fresh, cool
water to quench thirst--not ice water
| by any means, but water freshly
drawn from the well is not too cold
for chickens or any thing else. II

new herds.
During the past fiscal year, July !,
t920-June 80, 1921, over $4,000 head
of cattle have been tuberculin tested
in Ohio by the combined Federal and
State forces cooperating in tubercu-
losis eradication work. Of this num-
Der nearly per cent were tubercuiar.
In first test the per cent OF reacting
herds is usually highest, the ratio
being about one tubercular herd IN
every three herds tested, while the
per cent of reacting animals IS ap-
proximately 10 per cent.
This indicates how rapidly lndem-
nifty funds may be exhausted when
new herds are under test. !.
Comparison OF eradication worA
conducted in Ohio with that OF othel
states is but fairly satisfactory and
the only apparent hope of making
this service reach a large number
and thus have a greater value rests
either in a further reduction OF ap
praisai values allowed for slaughtered
! tubercular cattle or in the appropria
ton Of additional funds for indem
mites.
It is for those interested in THU
work to make known their wishes II
such manner that their wants ma!
be fulfilled. :,
The conservation Of human health
as well as money is here at stake

OATS COST 81 CENTS
A BUSHEL TO RAISE

Cost Investigations conducted on
their own farms by Portage county
farmers emphasize essential relations
of high yield to low unit cost, and
profit. This is the main finding of
cost amount meetings held during
the past week, by the farmers, their
county agent, and specialist in farm
management from the Ohio State
University.
Accounts on oats production costs,
completed by II farmers, show an
average yield of rs bushels TO the
acre, at per-bushel cost of 81
cents. ~
Twenty-six bushels is low for oats
in Portage county. The farmers
agreed on 49 bushels to the acre as
their average yield, and figured what
their cost would have been, had
yields come up to this.
The answer was 48 cents bushel.
That is to say, explains G. r. Shum-
way, Portage county agent, q nor
NAL Yield would have cut the pro-
duction cost per bushel almost in
half. "In every case," adds R. +.
Taber, the economist cooperating,
"the men with the higher yields had
the lower costs. Costs varied from
as low as Al cents a bushel to as
high as $1.71.
The farmers found, on the aver
age, that it took IL hours of man
labor and 10 hours of horse labor to
raise an acre of oats. The average
cost Of raising bushel of oats was
more than twice the price now
offered. g II N.
