AGRICULTURE NEWS NOTES
(By HI. F. Eaton, County Agent)
Truck Men Report No Frost Damag.

Truck Men Report No Frost Damage
According to VIM. Huck, Carlos
Hall and Lawrence Taylor, the
frost of Saturday night last, did no
damage to truck crops along the
river. Many home gardens, how
ever, were reported as being hurt
badly, with corn. potatoes, and
beans suffering considerable dam
age.
All Clubs Organizing
All All clubs in the county
should be organized and officers
elected as soon as possible, because
the officers and advisors confer
ence will be held on Saturday, June
6, at the M. & NJ high school. Many
clubs have already organized and
have started project work, and
advisors of clubs not yet organized
are urged to get their group TO
gether and get officers elected before
the officers conference All Off
GERS and advisors should make a
real effort to attend this conference,
as it offers an opportunity to learn
how to efficiently carry out the
duties of the respective offices.
or Interest To Potato Growers
1t will pay everyone interested in
growing potatoes on a commercial
scale, to visit the VIM Huck farm
on the river below the fair grounds
as soon as possible, and from time
to time through the growing season.
Mr.. Huck has planted three plots of
different priced seed potatoes, in
Guiding certified and uncertified
seed. There is lesson to be learn
ed right now, if potato plants at this
stage have any effect upon yield.
The story will not be told of course
until the potatoes in the plots have
been dug and weighed.
The future farmers of America,
an organization of vocational agri
culture boys, under Ralph Burdick,
instructor at the high school, also
have an acre of potatoes planted on
the Huck farm. Twenty bushels of
certified seed were planted on this
acre, which is at least five or six
bushels more per acre than most
people plant. The seed pieces were
cut larger than ordinary and the
plants at this stage show the BEN
eft Of good sized seed piece.

Approval OF Editorial
Mr.. Raymond Durbin,

Mr.. Raymond Durbin,
Editor Morgan County Democrat,
McConnelsville, O.
Dear Mr.. Durbin:-I wish to ex-
press my approval of your timely
editorial in last weeks Democrat,
on the cost of war. 1t takes propa-
ganda Tin this case lies) to win a
war, but all that is needed to win
lasting peace is dissemination of the
truth-the truth of the cost of war,
its horrors, and its utter futility to
accomplish any good. Your edi-
torial is a statement which will
help prevent the next war of annihi-
lation. You will, l believe, be inter-
ested in DR.. Frank Cranes picture
OF the cost of the late war. He
says:
IF the money which the war cost
were brought together in silver dol
lars and these dollars were placed
edge to edge they would lap around
the world 236 times; they would
belt the earth at the equator with
silver girdle 20 feet wide; piled on
one another would reach one and
two-thirds times the distance to the
moon; rolled into rails they would
make a railroad twice around the
equator; divided equally among the
entire population of the globe they
would allow each human being
about $40"
And as you say, "All for WHAT"
Is it not true that the more we
search for the truth of the late war,
the more we realize that no one ma
tion can be held responsible for it;
that no nation was victorious; but
that all mankind was the loser;
that our war aims-the ending of
war, abolition of militarism, and at
tainment of world democracy-were
not only unattained, but also dem
onstrate to us the folly of our eff
forts to attempt to gain such points
by warlike method?
/ seldom think of working for
world peace unless I think of the
words of one who knows war as
none of us know 1.-THE words of
hdJol Deueldl JOHH +. ~ Ryan. he
says:
''The American people can end
war in our time if they get on the
job. Let us wage peace with the
same determination with which we
wage war-the determination to
win. | would be traitor to my
country if | did not do everything
III my power to abolish war;
Yours sincerely, Kenneth Love.

Explanation From The Ohio Wool
Growers Association

Our attention has been called to
statements coming from representa-
tives Of the National Wool Market.
ing Corporation. that the Ohio as
sociation is working together with
the National association this year in
securing woods. This statement is
without any foundation whatever.
There are no working agreements
between the two organizations, and
no indications that there will be
any change by the Ohio group from
the position they have taken, name
ly, to handle their own business
through the same channels as they
have done in years past
Advance to the growers will be
made on basis that is reasonable
and fair and at the same time pro-
tect the organization Over-aG-
vances, should there be any.
through the National organization,
must be paid by the individual
grower or the association with
which he is connected This means
that If too great an advance is made
on poor woods, the producer of good
wools must help make this up, if
the original consignor is unable or
refuses to pay the difference.
This is one point, which many
growers doubtless do not under
stand.
Woods are coming in to the Ohio
warehouse more rapidly than a year
ago. Some 900 more consignors
and half million pounds of wool
more than the middle of May year
ago, have been received.-NX

George Webster Moore

Son of George W. and Ruthanna
Sevall Moore, was born near Rural
Dale, >Muskingum county, Ohio
April 10, 1853. He was of a family
of ten. Perley, John, Jane, Menser
full brothers and sister all deceased
and six half brothers and sisters
w. B., C. G., VIM. Hamilton, Ida
Wilson, Ruhanna Bird, and A. c.
Hamilton. He was married in De
cember, 1884, to Mary McMurray
To this union one daughter, Miss
Lulu of McConnelsville, was born
Mrs. Moore who was born in 1858,
died Dec. 2, 1908. April 80, 1880
he was married to Mrs Allie White
house who survives, and she and
Miss Lulu live together in the county
seat. Most of his life was spent on
the farm. While he spent 27 years
as undertaken, he lived on farm
and looked after the farm when not
busy at his other work. The writer
was on many trips with Web. He
was always anxious that every de-
tail should be carried out to spare
the bereaved ones the heartaches OF
the funeral occasion as much as pos
sible. He was a member of Meigs
Valley grange. Web was good
neighbor whose religion was
honesty. He always took his work
as undertaken so much to heart
that we were always glad when we
got started back from the cemetery
at that time we could not see the
reason why he should get that way.
but as the years have rolled on we
think we see it now. The preacher
may preach a poor sermon, the choir
or quartet may sing false note,
and folks will look over them, but
let the undertaken make mistake
and his business is hurt. Web sold
his business to the Miller Company
Old friends here were always glad
to have him come out. We feel we
should tell you that he was full of
life and fun when not under a
strain.
Mary C. Moore was born 1858,
died as we have said Dec. 2, 1908.
Mrs. Moore we believe was born in
Bloom township. For some time be-
fore her marriage she lived with
Ephraim Roberts and family on
Bear Run Mrs. Moore was a good
neighbor She was always inter-
ested in her husbands work, help
ing us to get started, but the thing
we remember most was that she
