City route, contributed some cloth
ing in the drive headed by Mrs.
Margaret Donohoo for the relief of
needy people in Europe.
Mrs. Hamilton stuck a note in
one of the coats, containing her own
address. This week she received a
letter of thanks from Helen Sergar,
Stiermark, Austria, who had re-
ceived her gift The letter, written
in German, was as follows:
Graz, Feb. 4, 1947
Respected Madam:
Most cordially / thank for, your
kind gift, which / received through
Our Help" Since we were partly
bombed out and have a very severe
winter, and was alone until now
with four children, your gift was
really great help for which thank
you a thousand times. My husband
has now, thanks to God, returned
from Russian captivity.
Dear gracious madam, since no.
body could translate your note tc
me, take the liberty to thank you
in this way.
With best regards remain

Fly Planes To Reach
Farm And Home Week

Some of the farm families who
attended the first Ohio Farm and
Home Week at Ohio State Univers-
ity in 1913 rode 80 miles an hour
in new automobiles to attend the
meetings. Ohio's Flying Farmers
Club members will land their own
planes at the University airport,
Don Scott Field, March 81, to take
part in the 35th Farm and Home
Week
Meetings of the Flying Farmers
will be held in Townsend Hall on
the campus, so some of them will
travel about as far by automobile
between the airport and the cam
pus as the hardy travellers of 1914
covered between their home and
the University. The program for
rural airmen runs firm 900 a. m,
to 800 D. m, March 21.
IN 1914, those attending the
meetings on the campus had never
heard of All boys and girls clubs,
because no such organizations ex-
iSted. The All club program at the
Farm and Home Week in 1947 will
have as its feature event, March
20. the awarding of service cert
ificates to rural men and women
who have been All club advisors
from 10 to Is years.
The machinery exhibit at Ives
Hall, March 1921, will contain
equipment which was only fal
off vision in 1914. Experiment:
then were being made to fine
whether electricity could have any
practical use on farms, people
talked about possibilities of using
gasoline powered machines to re
place horses in farm work, and the
we'll or the cellar was the only
farm refrigeration.
A small group of Ohio men have
attended every Farm and Hom'
Week at the University. Attend
ance in 1914 was only 140. The
record for attendance was Sc
in 1910, when 1874 persons signet
registration cards. The cards fo,
1916 show that 5,457 men and 1888.
women attended last years Farm
and Home Week which extended
through only three days.

Can Enjoy Growing
1947 Home Garden

Home gardeners in 1947 can alter
nate food production with time spent
on flowers and shubbery and have
a clearer conscience than in the inn
mediate preceding years when all
the gardening time was needed to
help out the worlds food supply.
Alvin Moll, extension horticultur-
ist, Ohio State University, advises
home gardeners to try out some of
the new varieties of vegetables this
different dates of maturity than the
old ones so faVorite fresh vegetables
can be enjoyed over longer period
of time.
Another break for the backyard
producer is an increased supply of
home freezer uuits and of available
space in commercial freezer lockers.
A larger part of home produced food
can be preserved by freezing to be-
come available in the off season
when vegetables taste best.
The home gardener has a big ad-
vantage in preserving vegetables
either by canning or by freezing be-
cause the vegetables can be har-
vested in small lots at the peake oi
their quality and popped in cans
or lockers before the food deteriior,
ates. No other method can duplicate
that quality.
Mr.. Moll advises home gardener.
to plan their gardens to meet the
family's preferences. More help with
the hoeing can be obtained of the
boy or girl with the hoe is goint
to get real enjoyment out of garder
produce. Preserving vegetables viii
not seem quite so hard to womel
who gather the food from a flowe
bordered garden.
Supplies of garden seeds are ade
quate this year, and gardeners will
be able to find fertilizer to improv
yields; but Mr.. Moll believes the vi
tai factor in producing a successful
garden is the person who plans AM
tends it. Neither seed nor fertilize
will kill weeds, fight insects, no
water plants. The University special
ist advises making the plantin
plans fit the gardeners ambition il
the spring and persistence in tn
summer.

Ohio To Have Usual
Farm And Home Week

Although some states have an
nounced cancellation of plans for
week meetings in l947, George B.
Crane, assistant extension director,
Ohio State University, says Ohio's
35th annual Farm and Home Week
will be held as scheduled, March 18-
81, on the University campus.
Mr.. Crane explains the dates for
the meeting have been set almost
two months later than customary
because the period selected occurs
between scholastic quarters when
most of the students will be home
on vacation. The University has
nearly $4,000 students this quarter
and facilities are taxed to the limit
to supply them with classroom
space. ........ -.
Demand for space is so great that
basic laboratory classes are held at
night so many students are in class
until 1l:00 p. m. The studenb group
also jams eating places on and near
the campus beyond capacity, espec-
tally at noon when most students
have only an hour to eat and then
get back to loo o'clock classes.
Assistant director contends that

Need Better Stock
Within Six Months

Looking Dack through 1916 ana
ahead into 1947 c. w. Hammans,
farm marketing specialist, Ohio
State University, advises Ohio live
stockmen to plan to sell within the
next six months their lower quail
ity animals and also the ones
which are verging toward the old
side.
Mr. Hammans expects livestock
buyers to become more and more
choosy as monthly sheets are torn
off the l947 calendar. Their man
ner of expressing their preferences
will be to offer less for common
and lower grades and to pay pre-
miums for good and choice. The
price spread probably will widen
as the year progresses.
This marketing specialist reports
many producers are guessing that
the in-and-out hog raisers will be
"in" during 1947. No one knows
how many of these transient hog
raisers will be sending litters to
market, but the guess is that there
will be an 18 per cent increase in
1947 spring pigs as compared with
.l946.
Mr. Hammans advises Ohio farm
ers who raise about the same num-
ber of pigs each year to continue
as usual but to do some extra fig
uring on the time their hogs will
go to market. In the past years, the
in-and-outers usually finish their
hogs in time to beat down prices
during the latter part of the mark
citing period.
The export market will take
some u. S. beef and pork during
1947 but farmers must depend upor
the domestic market for the profit:
in meat production. Industrial
workers will buy lots of meat a:
long as their pay envelopes pro
vide the money, but buyer resist
ance will increase in proportion tt
decreases in consumer incomes.

Use Lots Of Paper
To Fight Ohio Bugs

Suggestions about controlling
Ohio garden insects and diseases
take twice as much paper in l947
as they did in 1918 when the first
32-page edition of extension bulle-
tin No. 76 was published at Ohio
State University. Judging from the
distribution of $4,000 copies of
that bulletin in the q years, there
have been a lot of bugs in Ohio.
The latest 64-page revision of the
bulletin was sent recently to Ohio
county agricultural agents who will
give free copies to gardeners In
counties. The authors of the bulle-
tin now are T. H. Parks, entomol-
oeist, and T. H. King, plant path
ologist. Mr.. Parks is a veteran in
Ohio's war upon insects but Mr.,
King took up the fight against
Buckeye plant disease in 1946.
During Mr.. Parks campaigns,
the insects have brought in such
new troops as the japanese beetle
European corn borer, and the Mex
lean bean beetle buL old enemies
still cause the most trouble Mr.
King has not reported any new dis
ease of vegetables but he s.fri yed
in the state just in time to work
on Victoria blight, new disease
of oats.
Ohio commercial gardeners made
quite extensive use of airplanes
last year in applying dusts to pro-
tect vegetable crops. When bulletin
No. 76 was first published, many
gardeners used a bucketful o1
water and Paris green, and applied
the liquid by dipping a whisk-
broom in the bucket and shaking

visitors to Farm and Home Week
can be given greater service during
the lull between University quarters
than when staff members of the Ag-
ricultural College are occupied with
teaching duties. One of the greatest
benefits of Farm and Home Week
is the chance for farm men and wo-
men to discuss individual problems
with people on the College staff:
One advantage of the l947 date
for Farm and Home Week is the
probability that weather and driv-
ing conditions will be favorable. Re
cords of past Weeks show severe
cuts in attendance caused by 5liz-
yards, and several examples of at
tendance slumps can be traced tc
