many thousand acres of the old

Because insufficient water pene-
tration is one of the most impor-
tant limiting factors in production
of alfalfa in the county, the extern
sion service has carried on a cam
paign for many years urging grow
ers to examine soil for water pene-
tration. Phosphate was demonstrate
ed by many field tests and resulted
in a recommendation that each
farmer make tests on small plots
of land and carry out fertiliZa-
ton program according to results
secured on his own ranch.

lowing results.

Seed Production
An increase in seed production in
the county was noted and improved

Yearbook Probes
Nutrition Problem

Forty years ago scientists thought
the problem of nutrition was fairly
simple-solve the needs for pro-
teins, fats, carbohydrates. and a few
minerals, analyze foods for these
substances, and then so blend the
foods as to furnish an adequate
supply of each.
Now, the scientists know that
such knowledge, while fundamental
is a mere introduction to an intri-
cate pattern of known and un-
known substances in even the SIM
lest foods. The 1899 yearbook of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
Food and Life" brings up to date
the thoughts on nutrition. First
copies of the book are off the press

GET
BACK WAGES

Back wages totalling $10,188.92
were collected during August for 257
employees in 122 establishments COW
cred by mandatory orders under the
Ohio minimum wage law, James p
Walsh, Jr., superintendent of the Min
imum Wage Division, reported to In
dustrial Relations Director George A.
Strain, Saturday.
The amount is the largest collected
by the division in any one month since
the law was enacted in 1888, Superin-
tendent Walsh reported, and brings
the total collections for the six-year
period to $103, $4,000, of which $780,
249.98 has been secured for underpaid
women and minors in the first eight
months of 1899.
Effects of the policy of strict and
impartial enforcement of mandatory
orders in the laundry, dry cleaning,
food and lodging industries, instituted
eight months ago is indicated by the
record made by the division during
that period, Superintendent Walsh
pointed out in his report.
A total of 1859 inspections were
made by investigators of the min
imum wage division last month, Su-
perintendent Walsh's report states.
Back wages totalling $9,649.15 were
collected for underpaid workers in the
food and lodging industry; $314.77 in
the dry cleaning industry, and $225
in the laundry industry.
During the same month of the pre-
ceding year, August, 1888, the divi-
sion made 694 Investigations and
back-Wage collections amounting to
$1,101.24 and the comparison is very
favorable to the present policy, the
report discloses.

The eCherry
nv Where with eur
roo Little Hatchet we
- ~ tell the truth
absut many things, sometimes pre-
fsundly. Sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Second World War is not worrying
Nicky the gray squirrel.
Nicky has other things to worry
about.
Such as an ample supply of nuts
and lodging Mr.. Hawk and certain
old tom-cat who has declared never
ending war on the squirrel tribe.
Supply of nuts is good now, being
provided by two children who are
tickled pink to have Nicky take nuts
from their hands.
Nicky is wise in the ways of hawks
and cats and has no particular trouble
in lodging them.
So he doesn't really worry abou,
predatory birds and animals. After
all, he gets healthful exercise in keep
ing away from them.
AS for the second World War
Nicky has not heard Of it.
He doesn't read the newspapers anc
has no radio. His squirrel neighbors
are in the same boat. The wal
doesn't bother him.
Happy Nicky!
Think of the arguments he avoids
the anxiety he is spared, the time he
saves by not reading or listening tc
war news and propaganda.
| 1t gives him time for worthwhile
pursuits, such as frisking in the tree
tops and sunbathing stretched out
fiat on top of broad limb.
Though the wars of man do not
bother Nicky, he has had some wal
7, experience.
He is war veteran, in fact. A
nick out of one ear (hence his name)
indicates he has known combat.
But Nicky didn't encounter any
poison gas, bombing planes or SUBJ
marines in his warfare.
He fought in a conflict waged by
tooth and claw, civilized when COM
pared with the war methods of man.
Americans can't enjoy Nicky's
happy state of ignorance on the war.
They're bound to be aware of it.
So far, however, most of them are
taking it coolly.
They are keenly interested, but it
hasn't crowded everything else out of
their minds.
They are going about their bust
ness, talking Of their jobs, their fam
lilies, their friends, their social actiy-
ities--the things nearest to them, as
always.
They apparently are not worrying
unduly about Europe.
This state of mind can't be pleasing
to the propagandists, busy at attempt
ing to line up Americans for active
advocacy of one side or the other.
Most Americans, whatever their pref
erences (and they have them) don't
want their nation to have any hand
in the bloody struggle.
They know that Europe's problems,
if solved at all, must be solved by
