LIVESTOCK PRICE
DROP BY FALL
BEING PREDICTED
Less Purchase Power
End of Government
Buying Seen As Causes

Lower prices for meat animals
by next fall and a greater than
seasonal decline in livestock
prices during the last three
months of 1947 are foreSeen by
rural economists at Ohio State
university who base their esti-
mate upon lower purchasing
power of wage earners and upon
the probable end of government
buying.
The number of beef cattle on
feed Jan. /, l947( was estimated
at 100000 head, which is only
slightly below the record number
on the same date in 1914. These
cattle will begin to appear on the
market in numbers late in May
and June SO an easing off of
prices for quality cattle may oc-
cur then. Prices for stockers and
feeders may continue relatively
high.
A small 1916 pig crop and a
short supply of pork in storage
are holding up hog prices. In
creasing numbers of fall pigs
coming to market and a drop in
beef prices would tend to pull
hog prices down from levels
reached in early March. However
hog prices for the first half OF
1947 are expected to average vel
above those for the first six
month of any other year on rec
ord.
Sharp reduction in the number
of sheep on farms in recent years
has resulted in such a small mum.
Der of sheep and lambs on feeo
now that the supply Ia below de-
mand for mutton. Prices on lambs
are not as likely to decline as
prices on beef cattle, but there
may be some drop in lamb prices
following the peak of marketing
in May.
Strength in egg prices will de.
lay culling of the lower producer:
from farm flocks, so supplies o
poultry meat are not likely to be
over abundant. Farmers reported
intentions of raising 6 per cent
fewer chickens and l6 per cent
fewer turkeys in 1947 than were
grown in 1916.

The nation roared when Mrs.
Roosevelt's syndicated column
carried the line:
after supper with the men, we
went back to dress.
Ever since the invention of the
printing press, typographical err
rors and printed statements sus-
ceptible of different interpreta-
tions have been the cause of
universal merriment, to say moth
ing of a great amount of personal
distress.
A compendium of ludicrous
topographic errors and embarrass-

few of the more glaring ones,

URGES CAUTION
In BURNING BRUSH

State Highway Director Muir
ray D. Shaffer today asked resi-
dents of Ohio to secure permits
and use care when burning brush
and rubbish along highway right
of-ways, wooded sections or state
forest reserves.
Director Shaffer said he is
seeking the cooperation of all
Ohioans because each spring
many trees are killed or injured
and soil fertility is destroyed a.
long with fences, crops, farm
buildings and wildlife shelter and
food for birds and animals due
to uncontrolled fires.
He also pointed out that Forest
Fire Laws of Ohio do not permit
kindling a fire outside munich
palities without permission dur
ing the months of March, April,
May, October and November and
persons violating these laws are
subject to fines not to exceed
$4,000.

Darn! No Dough
In School Sofe
For Busy Boys

The frustrated characters in
Willy Shakespeare's Loves La
bour Lost" had nothing on the
dopes who tried to crack the till
in the principals office of Marys-
vile Junior high school Tuesday
night.
The would-be yeggs started out
real professionalism after break
into the school building, from all
indications.
First thing they knocked off
the combination on the schools
safe.
Next, they started drilling in
to the door of the safe.
Next, they discovered the safe
was already unlocked and quit
drilling.
And finally, they found out
there was nothing in the darned
thing anyhow.
Principal c. L. KingSmore eX-
planned that any school funds are
kept in the bank and nothing else
of value is ever kept in the safe.
The door is rarely locked on it.
although generally kept closed.
Mr.. Kingsmore discovered the
damage when he opened his off
ice Wednesday morning. He call
ed Sheriff H. S. Roosa and Mar
shall Clarence Brown. They check
ed objects in the room for posi-
BILE finger prints but could find
no clues.

GLENN |. CLINE
CRITICALLY HURT
BY FARM TRACTOR
Former County Clerk.
Treasurer Injured As
He Starts Up Machine

Condition of Glenn L. Cline,
widely-known Allen township
farmer and former Union county
official, was still uncertain this
morning following a tractor ac-
cident on his farm Monday after
noon, members of his family re-
ported.
A patient in Mt. Carmel hos
pital where he was taken in the
Miller ambulance following the
accident, Mr.. Cline underwent a
series of X-rays Wednesday
morning to determine the full ex-
tent of his head injuries. Word
concerning the result of the x
rays has not yet been received by
his family, but it is understood
he will undergo surgery as soon
as his condition permits.
Mr.. Cline suffered numerous
head injuries when the steel lugs
on one of the tractors rear
wheels struck him. One side of
his jaw bone was crushed and the
o h er, fractured. He suffered
numerous deep cuts about his
head and face which required
several stitches to close There is
also a possibility of fractured
skull.
The accident happened when
Mr.. Gin attempted to crank the
tractor with which he and Owen
Edwards had just hauled a load
of hay into the barn on the Cline
farm. The machine was evidently
still in gear, and started up as
soon as the engine caught.
Mr.. Cline tried to climb the
gate of the sheep pen in the barn
but, handicapped by having only
one. leg, was unable to get out of
the way in time. The tractor also
started up the gate and finally
tipped over with the lugs on the
rear wheel striking Mr.. Cline on
the head.
Formerly Union county clerk
of courts afad--eoHnty treasurer,
Mr.. Cline is at present clerk of
Allen township. He was a form
er clerk of the Allen Rural Board
of Education. The tractor which
he was operating at the time was
a Farmall row-type with steel
wheels, belonging to George
Price.

QUESTIONABLE Planned
Headlining the discussion of
this months meeting were ways
and means of getting Union coun-
ty people safety minded" A
QUESTIONABLE pertaining to re-
cent farm accidents will be print
ed in the next issue of the month
ly paper put out by the REA.
I'VE hope that all farmers who
have had accidents within recent
months, no matter how slight,
will reply to this QUESTIONABLE"
/ Mrs. Diehl said this morning. Re
plies will be compiled to de-
termine leading types Of acci-
dents and their causes as a start
ing point for improving safety.
Matter of workmen's compen-
sation was also discussed. Few
farmers carry compensation,
principally because they do not
understand that private compan-
les do not protect them from per-
sonal liability" Mrs. Diehl de-
clared. Only medical and hospit-
alization is provided in the kind
of insurance most farmers have.
Blank Are Available
Blanks for obtaining work
mems compensation are available
from any member of the USDA
council, and any of us will be
glad to answer questions or help
complete applications" she said.
The cost of compensation is very
slight.
At each meeting of the USDA
council, one member explains to
the others the workings of his
particular farm program. This
month, Mr., Mcclure described
the operation and set-up of the
vocational agriculture program in
the schools.
1T is an excellent way for d
boy who wants to be a farmer to
get started" Mr. Mcclure declar-
ed. Amy young man who learns
to love livestock is sure to be-
come a better citizen"
