justified.

partment's 12 divisions on the guard

FOR
NOBLE COUNTY

Effective or February 20, 1916,
the order under which veterans were
given preference certificates to OBJ
tain farm machinery was changed.
Veterans who hold such certifi-
Gates Issued prior to February 20,
1916, must present them to and have
them accepted bv a dealer on or be-
fore March 20, 1916, or they will be-
come voil on that date. Also, # the
dealer accepts the preference GER
tificate on or before March 20, 1916,
end finds it impossible to obtain the
machinery to enable him to honor
the certificate by April 20, 194S, the
cert 'ficate becomes void unless re-
newed before that date. Renewal can
be applied for at the county AAA
office where the certificate was is
sued, and the letter of renewal must
be in the dealers hands before the
certificate expires.
The dealer is no longer required
to fill an order on a veterans pref
erence certificate from equipment
he has on hand at the time the GER
tificate is presented to him. The
certificate must, however, be honored
when the next item of like equip
ment is received by the dealer. The
certificates are to be honored in the
order of their receipt by the dealer.
The dealer is not required to ac-
cept preference certificates from
veterans who live outside his trade
territory.
Photostatic copies of the prefer
ence certificates are not valid. Only
the original certificate can be ac-
cepted by the dealer.
Preference orders issued after
February 20, 1916, must be placed
with a dealer within Is days or they
become voil and if the dealer is un-
able to satisfy the certificate within
60 days of the date the certificate is
issued, it becomes void unless a re-
newal is obtained from the county
AAA committee and placed in the
dealers hands before the expiration
date of the certificate.

Noble county and is a part of the
Zane Trace Area council, together
with Muskingum, Guernsey, Perry,
and Morgsn counties.
ii. c. Secrest, superintendent of
the Noble county schools, has been
named district chairman and will
serve in that capacity for the ensu-
ing year. He will be assisted by
Frank Reed, local insurance agent,
who will serve as vice chairman, and
Rev. David Doan, pastor of the First
Baptist church, who was named dis
trict commissioner.
The council executive board men,
bers are the district chairman, Mr..
Secrest and Robert P. Collier. Others
who will assist in the Noble county
Boy Scout movement are: Rev. Ray
Swetnam, district organization and
extension chairman; Rev. Glenn
Warner, district leadership training
chairman; Gerald Ramage, district
camping and activities chairman;
Robert Collier, district advancement
chairman, and Harley Ogle, district
health and safety chairman. The

mittee at the present time is the or

ways been very weak but it is be-
Iieved that a solid organization is
now backing the movement and it
will grow with leaps and bounds and
that interest will be paramount
throughout the entire county.

Farmers Advised
On Livestock Feed

Prospects of getting feed for live
stock ere worse than at any time
during the war, in the oninion Of F
J. Maurer, Ohio Farmers Grain Cor.
pnra+ion. F0storia, who said the only
solution for the situation is to re-
duce herds and flocks to correspond
to rroso oective food supplies.
At the same meeting, Guy Miller
rural economics department, Ohi1
State University. declared that the
record breaking crop produced in the
U. S. in 1945 already is getting so
low thot the carry-over at harvest
time will be below normal.
In turn, the disappearance of wheat
comn'i"stes the live-tock feeding
situation, as feed shortages in war
time were partially relieved bv di-
verting wheat to livestock feed in
1914 and 1945. Wheat now is ur-
Hentlv wooded for human food il Eur
opean and other nations so farmers
are urged to feed wheat to livestock.
P'N+0'n concentrates are particlarly
scarce so poultrymen and da;rymen
who use thee concentrates most will
feel the first pinch Of the feed short
age. Government regulations already
LIMIT the amounts of concentrates
which manufacturers can use to make
commercial mixed feeds.
DaiIymcn and raisers of beef cat
tie and sheep can increase the supply
of feed on their farms by applying
nitogen fertilizers to pastures. D. r.
Dodd, agronomy special st, Ohio State
University, says the use of such fer
tilizers VIII give 10 to IA days earlier
pasture and that the amount and quail
ity of the forage will be improved.
