Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1929-11-28

It
other sentiment than love and ad"
miration for Clemenceau, and ne
will go down in history side by SIDE
with the most honored of her herolc
statesmen
After his dropping of the relns OF
power, in 1920, he made a journey
to India, and in 1922 to the United
States, where he was received with
the highest demonstration OF re-
spect and affection. Since that, ne
has devoted himself to his books,
of which he was always fond, and
to the writing Of his own memoirs.
1t is hard to say that man OF SO
years, with SO busy life behlnd
him, has died with his work undone;
but the whole world will be sorry
that death did not wait until his
memoirs were at least ready for the
press. 1t is to be hoped that at
least large part of the work will be
found in such shape as to admit OF
publication.
Just recently, it will be remem-
bered, when the doctors had all but
given up hope that he could last
more than a day or two, he arose
from his bed before that day or two
was over, humorously called his doc
tors "donkeys," and went to work
again on his memoirs. Such was al
ways the spirit of Georges Clemen-
ceau: and If such had not always
been his spirit, the result of the war
might have been other than it was.

Analysis Shows Source of Income
Dairying is the source of more
gross cash income to Ohio farmers,
than is any other agricultural en-
terprise. 1t led all other sources of
such income for As of the 88 coun-
ties of the state, in 1927. Hogs
ranked as the greatest source of
cash income in SO counties, cattle
in three counties, fruit in three
counties, vegetables in two counties,
sheep in two counties, and corn in
only one county.
In hat year Wood county ranked
i:st IN gross cash income from the
sale If agriculture, products, Darke
county was second and Wayne
county third. For Morgan county
the total agricultural gross cash in
come was $1,911; the income per
acre was $3.50 and per farm, 1858.
The highest ranking sources of in
in,
cattle, which each yielded % per
cent of the total. Third commodity
was dairying, yielding 19 per cent
of the total gross cash income. An
alysis of the figures on gross cash
income has been made by the rural
economics department OF the ohio
AGRICULTURAL experiment station and
tbe Ohio State university The fiG-
urns in the study do not reveal the
value Of agricultural products, but
the cash money derived from their
sale. 1t docs not include the value
of farm crops fed to livestock or
used for seed in the count es where
they We're produced. This ex
plains the apparent minor place Of
corn in the agricultural production
Of the state, since "a great volume
Of the corn produced is sold in the
form of livestock to which 1T has
been fed, and therefore does not
/ appear in the schedule.
+, The statistics of the year 1927
were chosen because the year was
practically typical of the volume OF
agricultural income in the state.
! Because of the omission of certain
m Miscellaneous items hard to classi
! fy, and because no account is taken
! of any income of the farmer except
/ through the sale of agricultural
products, the figures given are un
doubtedly lower than the actual in
come of the farm owners, it is
pointed out by Prof. J. |. Falconer
head of the rural economics de-
partment.
Because of wide difference in thu
size of the counties, it was found
desirable to determine the income
for each farm and for each acre o1
arabic land, as better basis OF
comparison. "The low income pei
acre is largely due to the fact that
the acreage designated in census re-
turns as all land in farms in
cludes considerable tracts of lant
] not actually under cultivation ant
some not even used for pasture
SAYS Professor Falconer.
