MUCH WAR MATERIAL PRODUCED
BY OHIO WOOD-LOTS; YIELD BILLION FEET

Ohio's wooded areas produced at
least 1,O0O,0OO,0OO board feet of
lumber during the war and also
provided about 100000 cords of
pulpwood, thousands Of fence
posts, and quantities of poles at
the same time; but F. w. Dean, eX-
tension forester, Ohio State Uni
versity, says the yield from the
states 100000 wooded acres
could be greatly increased.
Mr. Dean does not expect lum-
bering to become a major enter
prise in Ohio but he explains there
are more than 1900 sawmills op-
Grating at least part of the time
each year and the mills employ
many workmen The average an
nual rate of lumber production in
Ohio is about 300,000,000 board
feet.
Ohio's timber harvest does not
bulk very large when compared
with the national requirments Of
around 35,OOO,OOO,OO0 board feet a
year, but Ohio produces an appre-
ciable amount of walnut, yellow
poplar, white ash, and white oak

YOUTH COUNCIL
TO AID 4-H CAMP

Farm Bureau older youth will
put on a benefit Barn Dance Sat,
urday night at the armory in Ma.
rySville. All net proceeds will be
donated to the All clubs of Union
county to add to the Camp Cliff
ton Improvement Fund. This camp
consists of II acres of land beau
tifully located about eight miles
south of Springfield. There is need
for additional building and equip
ment.
No admission price will be set
for this Barn Dance but money
gifts will be deposited in a large
glass jar at the door.
The Farm Bureau older youth
council will meet Thursday from
8 to IL p. m. in the Farm Bureau
Hall. Jean Ann Shanks is presi-
dent and Sara Daley secretary
Delegates will give brief reports
of recent conferences at Athens
and Springfield. A short time will
be given to discuss the youth cen
ter project in Marysville.

cordially welcome.

which serve special purposes and
bring good prices. Gun stocks, air
plane and Ship timbers, tool hand
les, and veneer are end products of
these Ohio trees.
The University recommends
some simple practices which would
increase production from the pres
ent average of IS board feet per
acre per year to an average of $50
or more board feet. The first rec
ommendatiOn is to protect the
woodlOt from grazing and from
fires because such protection will
enable the trees to replace them
selves.
Other ways to improve lumber
yields include cutting vines which
choke desirable trees, cutting or
girdling wide crowned trees which
hamper the growth of younger
trees, and removing worthless
species which compete with desir-
able ones. Farm woodlotS should
be thick on the west and southwest
sides to break winter and storm
winds.

REED, BOERGER TO DISCUSS
SOILS AND FERTILIZER

E. P. Reed, extension agrono-
mist from Ohio State university,
and Chris j. Boerger, chairman OF
the Board of Supervisors of the
Union Soil Conservation district,
will be discussion leaders at a
meeting on Soils and Fertilizers"
which will be held at the Farm
Bureau assembly hall in Marys-
vile on Friday. Both of these men
are we'll known in Union county
and their views on the subject of
soils and the profitable use of fer
tilizer should be of interest to all
Union county farmers, according to
County Agent d. B.. Robinson, who
has arranged the meeting.
1T is fitting that we should be
discussing the subject of soils and
their maintenance on Washington's
birthday as our first president was
deeply concerned with such ques-
tions, even though our country was
comparatively new and undevel-
oped in his time Mr.. Robinson
said.

MONARCHS TRIM
LONDON. "A TO 81,
END HOME GAMES
Gain Revenge For First
Loss of Season, Friday;
Local Reserves Lose

MarySville high school ended its
at-home basketball season in
most satisfactory manner, and al
the same time gained revenge fol
IT'S opening-game defeat, when the
Manarchs tripped the Red Raiders
of London high school, Al to "a
Friday night.
London Reserves won the prelim-
mary game, "a to %, as a last
second desperation shot from the
middle OF the floor SwiShed square
ly through the net for two points
and victory. Last November, Lon
don Varsity defeated Marysville,
81 to IS, at London, and the Raid
ar Reserves won 80 to Is.
The Varsity tilt was fairly close
the first half, although Marysville
maintained a small lead most OF
the time. The third period, how
ever, saw the Monarchs begin forg-
ing steadily ahead, slowly but sure
ly increasing their margin as the
game wore on.
Half Score 2O-17
The locals dropped in five bas-
ketS and one free throw for II
points during the first quarter
while London got two buckets and
three free throws for seven points
The Raiders out-pointed Marys-
vile, 10 to 8, during the second
quarter, and the first half ended
with the MonarchS in front only
20 to II.
The third period, however, a.
gain witnessed superiority of Ma
ErySville as the locals tailed 13
points to but 10 for the visitors
The three-quarter mark found Ma
rysville leading 33 to 81. In the
final canto, Marysville netted II
points to seven for London to wir
by 10 points.
Superior teamwork on the part
of Marysville was again the prin.
cipal factor tofvictory, with some
lvery fine ball-handling being ex
| Ihibited during the contest. For the
records, Dean Scheiderer dropped
the ball through the hoop sever
times for Ia points to lead the
scoring parade. But each lad con-
tributed to the win with good floor
play and excellent passing al
Itimes. For London, the tall Foulk
boy was most effective as he tall.
Jed 13 points and played good
floor game as well.
Preliminary Real Thriller
The preliminary was a real
thriller, as the Monarch Reserves
came from behind in the final per-
iod to nearly win the game. Lon
don "B" led most of the way, L
to 9 at the half and II to Ia at the
end of the third quarter. Along
in the closing seconds of play
MarySville took the lead by one
point, then a London basket put
them in front with less then a min
ute to play Marysville Reserves
scurried down the floor, however
and got themselves bucket and
with only seconds to go, appeared
the winner. But Barker let fling
with long, long shot in the final
second and the ball went through
the loop as the horn ending the
game sounded, so the visitors wor
by that slender margin.
Evans netted six points to take
scoring honorS for the Marysville
Reserves, while Shannon got 1C
points for London.
Attendance for Friday nights
game made a total for the season
more then 5000 for the nine home
games. A new record for the gym
nasium.
