Insufficient Feed For Livestock,
Agriculture Department Warns

of grain, sorghum and cottonseed,
and the cessation of the feed wheat
program, together with the confusion
in industry as it moves to peacetime
production.
The Department of Agriculture is
now able to render the same assist
ance to producers in securing feed
supplies such as was possible during
the war years. However, restrictions
on the use of protein meal in the
manufacture of mixed feed for live
stock and poultry have already been
issued and it is expected that they
will effect more equitable distribu-
tion to all classes of users in all
areas.
In view of this feed outlook, all
feeders are advised to gear their fu-
ture feeding operations to the supply
of food on hand or to the supply
which is available with reasonable
surety. This is especially true in
the deficit and semi-deficit feed
areas, and the necessary action
should be taken without further de-
lay.

insufficient supplies Of feed grain
and protein to continue feeding live
stock at the present rate were cited
this week as the reasons for feed
conservation program recommended
by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
In pointing out the critical situa-
ton as it applies to farm feeding
programs, Clair A. Patterson, chair
man of the Allen County AAA COM
mittee, said livestock, poultry and
dairy feeders are advised to initiate
feed conservation by culling the least
profitable animal units and limiting
grains and proteins to their most
efficient production at the lowest
feasible rates.
Growing shortages of farm feeds
are attributed to more cattle on
feed, hogs being fed to heavier
weights, increased feeding of con-
centrates by dairymen, and greater
turkey and chicken production.
Other contributing influences were
last years poor quality of the corn

Refnancing of the Central Ohio
Light and Power Co. to eliminate its
present holding company, The Cres-
cent Public Service Co., was ex-
planned last week in an announce
ment by Emory D. Erwin, vice-pres-
ident and general manager of the
utility which operates its generating
plant in Bluffton.
Common stock of the company,
now owned entirely by the Crescent
Public Service Co., will be distribut-
ed to the bond and stock holders of
Crescent, and certain amount will
be sold by bankers to the public.
With completion of this plan, the
Central Ohio utility will no longer
be owned by a holding company,
but viii be publicly owned. This
will make it the first Ohio utility to
be so owned, Erwin pointed out, and
it is contemplated that a great deal
of the stock will be owned in this
area.
Preferred stock of the company,
which bears a dividend rate of six

Mexico City.
Rev. Lahr's letter was as follows:
"The trip was about 1900 miles
almost due south. The road all the
way was about as good as the Dixie
highway from Toledo to Cincinnati.
In all that distance I did not see a
tree that would make 300 feet Of
good lumber.
AT the border in Laredo, Texas.
we found Montgomery Ward, J. c.
Penney, Sears, Roebuck and Wool

names in Mexico were signs adver-.

"The Pan Handle country in Tex
as is very fiat and level. One can
look for miles and see nothing but
perhaps a small house in the dis
tance. About every Is miles you
come to a village or small town
with wide streets, and mostly new
buildings we'll painted and clean.
We were told that about all the
country consists of ranches.
"South of the Pan Handle the.
country became more densely popu-
lated, and at Big Springs we got
into rich oil country. South of San
Antonio we found all trees green.
and soon saw palms occasionally.
Still farther south came orange
trees, more palms and cactus plants
Bushel baskets of oranges were Of
fered at 81 to all takers at road
side stands.
"For the first $50 miles in Mexico
we were in desert country, then be-
yond Monterrey the soil becomes
very productive, altho it is poorly
farmed. Many small orange groves
have been started lately and we saw
heaps of oranges on the ground.
We ate bananas where thev were
grown, and we passed fields of pine
apples and saw people harvesting to-
matoes. We passed trucks taking
sugar cane to the refinery and saw
the broad acres of cane fields. The
cane here differs from that at home
in Ohio and is more like Texas corn.
Here in Mexico City we eat to-
matoes, lettuce, beans and straw
berries, which can be grown here the
year around. Later l hope to write
something about the life and customs;
of the Mexican people,"
