TELLS ABOUT CHANGES IN
OHIO AGRICULTURE

A. B. Graham, Washington, D. c.,
former director of agricultural ex-
tension work in Ohio, in reviewing
changes that have taken place in
agriculture in the past 25 years,
says it is almost impossible to real
ize the forward strides that have
been taken.
Mr.. Graham said, "In Ohio, auto
mobiles, trucks, tractors, and inter-
nal combustion engines have become
such recognized part of the power
field that we do not remember that
10000 horses have been displaced
and that the acres formerly devoted
to producing feed for horses now
must be used for other purposes.
Modern equipment has changed the
dairy industry almost as much.
''Twenty-five years ago, farm
women of Ohio were making $4,000,
600 pounds of butter each year. The
production of butter on the farm in
1880 was less than 100000
pounds. Going back 25 years again,
we find that Ohio farmers marketed
about 100000 pounds of cream
as butterfat and in 1890 this amount
had increased to 45,00Q,000 pounds.
I'm horticulture, generalization
has yielded to specialization. EX-
tremely large orchards that grew i
variety of apples are passing or
have passed from the scene because
insect and disease pests so asserted
themselves that special care was
necessary to combat them. The
number Of apple varieties as well as
the acreage of orchards has been re-
duced.
'sThe old hen has had to confine
| the expression of her motherly in
stincts to laying the egg and let the
artificial mother hatch and brood
| them. Ohio produces more than 20
percent more eggs now than IN
1910 Really, the poultry business
has risen from by-product on many
farms to an important phase OF the
| whole farm production.
| "There has been developed new
| educational system, the agricultural
| extension service. In the universl-
| ties and colleges the professors
claim the privilege of funking the
students, but in the extension ser
vice the farm men and women funk
their professors if they cannot find
practical answers to problems given
| to them The extension service in
1 Ohio now has SS county agricultural
agents, quite change since the
start of the work when there We're
agents only in Geauga and Mahon-
ing counties There are 33 home
| demonstration agents in the state
but the first one began work III
| Montgomery county in 1916.
Life is not stable, and in order
to live in keeping with our eve,
vacillating conditions, we must
change ourselves. We dare not tic
ourselves to the traditional past; VIC
dare not allow ourselves to die al
80 and be buried at CO. Through
change and adjustment to new con
ditions, we may be even younger al
60 than some others may be at 80.

 United Press advices from Mad rid said that Loyalists alleged he might try to cross the Nationalist lines to bargain with Gen. Francisco Franco, offering his aid ip an attack on Loyalist Catalonia where he was a power until last May.
 Min was a disciple and co-worker of Leon Trotsky, exiled Bolshevik war lord, in Russia, and in Cata- lonia he was head of the Partido Obrero De Unification Marxista, or Workers Party for Marxist Unifi- cation, called the Poum.
 He was arrested in May, at the time of the extremist uprising against conservative Loyalist disci- pline. The extremists suppressed Min was accused of plotting to overthrow the Catalonian govern ment, of which he formerly was counselor of justice.
 Min was sent first to Valencia then to Madrid. At first he wal held in jail. His health was bad however, and he was sent to sani. torium. He escaped with fiv com. panions-apparently having learned that he was going to be tried soon

 Madrid, Aug. 6.-(UP)-National- ists subjected Madrid to the most terrific bombardment in months to- day. Systematically, street by street, they spread a blast of big shells through the city for hours.
 As this dispatch was written, big Blnells were screaming across GEe central squares at three minute in- tervais and landing in the Puerta Del Sol, the city's heart.
 It was feared that casualties were heavy. As the bombardment con- tinlied, streets were deserted. But the shelling was timed to start while most peope were going to work and the central part of the city was crowded.
 The central area and the eastern residential district suffered heavily
 LOyalist batteries opened up as the bombardment continued, trying to silence the insurgent guns.
