Soygrover Baby
Hos Her. Picture
Printed in Posi-

The story of how medical
science is combating anemia
through a new discovery known
as Folio" acid, told in the Dec
IA issue of the Saturday Evening
Post, contains the picture of a
tiny Marysville girl who was re-
stored to health through the treat
ment.
The little miss is Sharon Kay
Saygrover, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Saygrover, 334 N.
Maple st. Her grandfather is AL
bert Saygrover, night officer on
the Marysville police force. A
half-page picture at the top of the
Posts article, New Hope for the
Anemic', shows little Sharon Kay
undergoing a blood count.
Folio" acid was developed from
various types of foliage, hence its
name. Strictly speaking, it is a
new member of the Vitamin B
family, and at first was derived
from spinach, alfalfa, tree leaves
raked up on a university campus,
and was identified chemically
with the help of yellow butterfly
wings, according to the Post. 1t
is now being manufactured from
industrial chemicals, and the COM
plete story of its discovery, devel-
opment, use and wondrous cures
it has affected makes an article
several pages long in the maga
zine.
At the time Sharon Kay was
started on the treatment, she had
been passed from one doctor to
another, none of whom seemed
able to diagnose her ailment, ac-
cording to her father. Finally, she
ended up in the hands of a spec
ialist at Ohio State, where her
trouble was finally discovered
an uncommon type known al
goats milk anemia-and t h I
treatment begun. She was then
just less than year of age.
Today, at IA months, she is a
healthy, happy youngster, able to
eat most anything her parents
put before her. The addition of
goats milk to her diet-and the
'folic" caid-have brought it "a
bout.

RECENT SNOW
AIDS WHEAT

Snow which came days ago but
did not remain to permit tradit
ional white Christina" was Of
value to the wheat in Union
county.
Wheat soWn last fall looks ex-
ceptionally we'll. Protection by
the snow is much better for wheat
than excessive freezing and thaw-
ing
Union county farmers, keenly
watching the markets now that
the war is over, will be extremely
interested in the department of
Agriculture's crop figures upon
which they may base their plans
for 1947.
Winter wheat makes up about
three-fourthS of the nations wheat
production. The other class, Spring
wheat, is soWn in the spring of the
year in which it is harvested.
The 1916 winter wheat crop was
larger in volume than the 1885
Al average production of both
winter and spring wheat COM
bined. 1t totaled 873, $685. 900 BUSH
els compared with a ten year aver
age of 618,019,000.
A 1947 winter wheat crop ap-
preaching this years would in
crease this county's reserves to a
level which would border on sur
plus proportions.
Figures for Ohio
Ohio'S share in a national crop
production reported by the Agri-
culture Department to be of re-
cord quantity this year follows,
with harvest acreage, yield per
acre and production; corn; 3,641
0O0acres; 49 bu. per acre and pro-
duction of 178, ,409,0 900 bushels.

Wedding Ring

The wedding ring dates back to at
least the second century B. c., when
it was merged with the betrothal ring.
Its origin has been attributed both to
the Egyptians and the early Romans.
At first it was secular in significance,
the Romans using signet ring to
indicate that the husband was endow-
ing his worldly goods upon his wife
and that she had the right to seal all
such goods. The church apparently
did not recognize the existence of the
wedding ring until the second century
A. D. and the first record of ring
used in wedding ceremony is in the
fifth century.
