Louis W. DeerE,ake
Dies In st. Marys

Funeral services were held Mon
day in st. Marys for Louis William
Deerhake, So, a Bluffton resident
until April of last year, who died
last Saturday morning at his home
in st. Marys. He had been in poor
health for year.
Deerhake had been employed for
20 years as a fireman for the Cen
tral Ohio Light and Power Co., and
came here from st. Marys when the
Woodcock Generating plant was
opened in 1887. He returned to ST.
Marys in April, 1916.
Survivors include his wife, Anna
Deerhake, and four sons, Alonzo
Deerhake, st. Marys; Kermit Deer
hake, at home; Robert Deerhake,
Bluffton, and Louis J. Deerhake,
Wapakoneta.
He was member of st. Paul's
Evangelical and Reformed church in
st. Marys. Burial was at that place.

will be influenced as much by
weather at corn planting time, as
by any contemplated raises in bean
price ceilings.
Unfavorable weather often makes
it impossible for the farmer to
plant as much corn as he had plan
ned, and much of the land so af-
fected is used for soy bean produc-
tion, inasmuch as the latter crop
can be seeded later in the season.
Little Surplus Grain
At present there is little, if any,
surplus grain on farms in the Bluff
ton district Existing grain and
feed stocks are being held as a
prudent farm practice to safeguard
against emergency feeding needs. 1t
is largely from this reserve that the
government seeks to draw the food
stuffs needed to tide over until the
next harvest.
Ordinarily, an increase in price is
not sufficiently attractive to the
farmer to part with the grain he
carries as a feed reserve. In ad-
dition, there is a widespread feel
ing that still greater increases in
grain price ceilings may come which
would in effect tend toward removal
of price controls from farm
products, which the farmer has been
demanding.
Appraisal of the current situation
was summed up by one farmer this
week, with the observation that SELL
ing the wheat and corn he had in
his bins would jeapordize his farm
feeding operations; on the other
hand the money obtained from sell.
ing the grain could not be used
for there virtually are no imple.
ments or other equipment on the
farm market. Under present condi
tions, he said, grain in the bin looks
more attractive than money in the
bank.
