State Highway
Approves Projects

Ohio's original 1947 (second post
war year, Federal-aid primary
highway program, including Noble
county, has been approved by the
Public Roads administration, it was
announced today by State highway
director Perry T. Ford.
The approved program includes
one state wide highway planning
survey project and Is construction
projects, with total estimated cost
of $9,283,748.
Plans for these projects are under
way, Director Ford said, and the
highway department hopes to have
them ready for sale by the time the
Legislature provides matching
funds. The jobs were programmed
before state funds were available so
that Ohio would not lose its share
of the Federal postwar highway
program funds.
Additional 1947 primary projects
to use up the full amount of Fed
eral-aid money are under design but
were withheld from the program
until it is determined that the price
trends will allow their accomplish
ment within the allotted funds.

Egg Price Balances
Rise In Feed Cost

Egg prices have held strong
enough to keep the egg-feed ratio
at a level almost as good as at this
time in 1945. c. NJ Ferguson, spec
ialist in poultry husbandry, says
the big problem now in feeding lay
ers is to keep the protein in the
total ration high enough to main
tain high average egg production.
High protein supplements still are
scarce and the price is up, but lay
ing hens need Is to Is per cent of
protein in their ration. Poultrymen
who feed a 20 per cent mash should
keep the amount of grain fed about
equal pound for pound to the mash.
That will give a Is to 16 per cent
protein level in the total ration.
Washes which contain less than
20 per cent protein will require the
poultryman to cut down the proper
ton of grain fed, or egg production
may drop. With mashes which run
from "a to 80 per cent protein, grain
may be fed free choice to the layers.
One method of cutting down the
cost of protein in poultry rations is
to give the flock bright green alfalfa
hay. The hay will contain l6 or
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1946-12-19

more per cent of protein, and the
amount of protein will be even
greater if only alfalfa leaves are
fed. Feeding alfalfa hay also reduces
feather picking and cannibalism.
Lights in the poultry house should
be turned on if they have not al
ready been used. December brings
the shortest periods of natural day
light and the layers need more feed
ing time for high egg production
Lights stimulate winter egg produc-
ton but do not increase the total
number of eggs laid by a hen dur
ing year.
Deep litter on the poultry house
floor will save trouble and work
The litter should be six to 18 inches
deep and should be built up with
new material when needed to keep
it dry. Straw, ground corn cobs, or
shavings are excellent material for
litter.

Americans Still
RuYing More Bonds

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. l8-
In the five years since Pearl Har-
Dor was attacked, Americans have
bought $59,348, 100000 worth of U.
S. Savings Bonds, Series E, F and
C. From Pearl Harbor through the
Victory Loan they bought more than
So billion dollars worth to help IL
nance the global war. During this
peacetime year, so far, they have in
vested another 7 billion in these
bonds.
Today, fifteen months after the
end of the war, they own S46, ,5OO,-
100000 worth of E, F and G bonds
at current value, or IS per cent Of
the total amount ever issued. OF
these holdings, over 30.2 billions are
in E bonds.
In announcing these figures to-
day, Vernon L. Clark, national dl-
rector of the u. S. Savings Bond
Division, Treasury Department,
commented that the E-bond re-
demption rate, which has been de
clining since March, continued the
downward trend in November. Last

County Farmers Income Dollar
Now Biggest In The Entire Nation

Noble county farmers are better
off, marketwise, than at any other
time in history. But things are not
going to stay that way.
This is the opinion of Lyle H.
Barnes, farm management special
ist, Columbus, who discussed re-
Gently the farm outlook for 1947.
Farmers are now getting $l.37 for
the goods they sell compared with
the 81 they pay for the goods they
buy.
But the prices farmers receive
will level off soon and start down
ward while the prices they pay for
things they buy will continue up
ward, Mr.. Barnes warned. That
means a lower net income for the
farmer-probably beginning in the
fourth quarter of 1947''.
Farmers are advised to trim pro-
duction of corn and oats and to in
crease production of soybeans and
to maintain production of that dur
ing the 1947 growing season.
Hog marketings are expected to
decline shortly after the first of the
year but despite this, prices may be
lower. It was pointed out that "65
cents a pound bacon" will turn con-
sumers away from pork. 1t may
mean lower hog prices.
Farmers are advised to force
feed early spring pigs and get them
to market early next fall to beat an
anticipated decline in hog prices.
Slightly higher prices can be ex-
pected for eggs in the first half OF
I947 with the net available supply
3 to 5 percent below the first half OF
this year.
Heavier paintings of soybeans
were advised in face of the prospect
that available supplies of fats and

oils will be far below expected de
mand This situation is expected to
remain until normal imports of fats
and oils resume in volume.
Barnes also pointed out that the
outcome of arrangement rela-
tions within the next six months
will determine to a large extent
"how we'll the nation and state as a
whole survive the current infla
tions."
1t was pointed out that only II
percent of the total working force
is employed in heavy industry; 83
percent are engaged in consumer
trades and services. That means
that if prices are pushed to point
where the 83 percent can't pay
them, buying will slow down, pro-
duction will decrease and unem-
ployment will be the result.
Noble county farmers can also
expect a favorable ratio of milk
prices to feed prices during the
first three quarters of 1947 What
will happen in the fourth quarter
depends upon the extent of the bust
ness recession.
Farmers will have an uphill battle
to recapture lost markets for milk
and butterfat. While fluid milk con-
sumption scared during the war
years, butter consumption dropped
from 19 to l8 pounds per capita.
People have found that oleomar-
garine tastes pretty much like but
ter and that they can buy two
pounds for the price of a pound of
butter With milk at 20 cents a
quart here we can expect to switch
to evaporated and condensed milk
This will result in dairymen be-
ginning to lose fluid milk business

Christmas Bonus
Offered RY Stores

COLUMBUS, Dec. 13- An extra
Christmas bonus of one unit of

percent of their 1912 total average

percent more than the amount that
was granted during the last period.
The ration period will end Dec %.

Loan Provides Floor
For 1916 Corn Crop

Ohio farmers can put a floor
price under their 1916 corn crop
through the corn loans offered by
the Production and Marketing Ad-
ministration and Richard G. Hand
ley, supervisor of this loan program
in Ohio, says the loan rate runs
from SLIT a buShel in western Ohio
counties to $124 a bushel in the
eastern counties.
In spite of a small carryover from
the 1916 corn crop, total corn sup
plies now are at an almost record
level. Cornbelt farmers have from 10
to Is per cent more corn available
per animal unit than was in sight
at this time last year The 1916 corn
crop is huge and the number of
livestock on farms has been reduced.
Mr.. Handley explains that this
years corn loan is available on any
corn grown in 1916 in states where
farm storage is feasible. Loans will
be available any time until August
l, 1947 Corn producers who will
change farms before the next crop
season can buy corn, store it on the
new farm, and obtain a loan upon
it.
Corn to be eligible for loan must
grade No. 3 or better, or No. 4, on
test weight only. 1t must be stored
in cribs which will protect it from
the weather. Mr.. Handley says that
farm storage in Ohio must be in
cribs six feet or less in width in the
north half of the state and not over
seven feet in width in the southern
half.
Borrowers on corn will pay a
service fee of one and one-half cents
a bushel, with a minimum charge of
$500. The interest rate is per cent.
The borrower makes good any loss
in quantity or quality of corn under
loan; and the loan plus interest must
be paid before September l, 1947,
or the corn must be delivered to
the Commodity Credit Corporation
before October 81, 1947.
