makes 500 pounds or more to the
acre as compared with 1875 to 200
pounds formerly. And his cattle, to
which he gives credit for much of
this, have skyrocketed him to wor-
Ids records in sales prices and
showing winnings"
How important cattle have become
in the Panola-Tate County area is
summed up as follows: "In 1887
there were probably fewer than $50
head of registered females and no
registered cattle industry, no i'm
proved pasture and no demand for
cattle from outside the Panola-Iate
area. There are now probably 1000
head Of registered breeding animals
in 81 purebred herds. In 1916, regis
tered beef cattle worth $448,842 were
shipped out Of the area to IA states
and two foreign countries. In ad-
dition, there are around 10000 head
of commercial cattle in the area.
Sales through the local livestock
auction brought farmers $750,000
last year"
Moore sees the cattle industry as
the "cure" for the South's cotton
ink" the magazine reports.
Gradually" he says. we're tn
rowing off the cotton complex. It's
just a case of having he energy,
power and faith to take hold of a

Bridge Is Heavily
Damaged By Truck

The south end of the two-span
steel bridge crossing the Tuscarawas
river on U. S. route 81 at Newcom-
erstown, was seriously damaged
early Wednesday morning when it
dropped four feet under the weight
of truck loaded with steel beams.
Owned by the Testa excavating
company of Cleveland, the truck was
said to have been enroute to their
strip mining operation site at Dexter
City.
Driven by Edward Smith, also of
Cleveland, the tractor-trailer was
nearing the south end of the bridge
when the span gave way a distance
of four feet. Smith succeeded in
moving the truck from the bridge
when it was determined that it
would not collapse under the
weight
The Testa company is now strip
ping coal in Enoch township, Noble
county.
Smith was arraigned before
Mayor Sam Secrest in Caldwell for
unlawfully operating a vehicle with
an overload and paid a fine of $1,000
and costs. He was taken into custody
in this county by the state highway
patrolmen.

Because of an error of judgment

sentence you to not less than one

Columbus" Judge L. B. Frazier told
John r. Williams, SO, Batesville,
early Thursday morning in Common
Pleas court, thus closing the case on
the fatal shooting of Hawley w. La
hue, Summerfield.
In a. surprise court move, Thurs
day, Williams entered the Common
Pleas court at 9:42 o'clock, a. m, and
gave a plea of guilty to man
slaughter in the first degree.
Attorney Lucien c. Young, repre-
senting the defendant, asked the
court to reduce the charge from sec
ond degree murder to manslaughter
in the first degree and this was done
with the consent of prosecuting at
torney Leo E. Carter.
Before sentence was passed, Will
liams asked the court for permission
to return to his home in Batesville,
to visit his wife for a few minutes
and straighten up his personal af-
fairs. With the understanding that
he go there in the custody of Sheriff
Clayton Mckee, this wish was
granted.
At exactly 9:54 a. m, or IL min
utes later, court adjourned and
Williams was returned to the Noble
county Jail.
He was committed to the Ohio
penitentiary at Columbus, Friday
afternoon, by local officials.

Additional Farm
Plans Approved
In Noble County
Current Problems
OF Local Farmers
Are Also Discussed

At the regular meeting of the
Noble soil conservation district,
Monday evening, at their offices in
the postoffice, farm conservation
plans in Noble county were ap-
proved for the following: Wilbert D.
Metheny, Noble township: Frank
L. Tilton, Olive township; Thomas
N. Gale, Buffalo township; John
and James Gallagher, Beaver town
ship; L. R. Basford, Beaver town
ship; Norbert Crum, Stock town
ship, and Warden Everly, Center
township.
The meeting was in charge of w.
H. Calland, chairman of the board.
The problem of getting enough lime
on pasture and cropland was dis
cussed, since this is the time when
farmers in the county should make
definite arrangements for the pur-
chase of limestone needed in their
soil conservation plans.
Attending the MONDAY meeting
were Mr.. Calland of Summerfield,
Lewis E. Davidson, L. E. Hedge and
Brady Archer, board members, Ted
Osborne, Summerfield, lime distri-
butor, Earl Shade, district conserv-
ationist of the u. S. soil conserv-
alton service, Ira J. Kuntz and J. /.
Steiner of the local office.
One of the big problems in lime
distribution in Noble county is the
demands of all farmers for lime at
spring planting time and wheat
seeding time in the fall. Mr.. Os-
borne explained that it is impossible
for the lime professors to grind and
truck all the lime for the whole
years supply in a short period of a
few weeks in the spring and a few
weeks in the fall. In order that the
lime dealers can satisfactorily serv-
ice a larger farmer demand for
ground limestone it will be helpful
for individual farmers to get their
order to the dealer early and give
a week to two weeks notice as to
when delivery is desired. 1t is also
important that farmers arrange TO
accept delivery any time during
June, July, August, or September.
Mr. Hedge pointed out that his
experience proves to him that the
best place in the rotation to apply
limestone is on the hay field to be
plowed the following year for corn.
On the hay field, he explained, lime
can be applied anytime after the
hay is harvested. This allows plenty
of time for lime spreading and
avoids the peak labor and trucking
load at grain seeding time. An
added advantage of applying lime
on top of the old meadow is that
it is on plenty of time ahead of the
grass seeding.
Brady Archer suggested that the
much neglected pasture land could
be lined any time during the sum-
mer or fall.

County Treasurer May
Get Salary Boost By Law

Columbus, May % - OP - The
county treasurer of Noble county
will get an $840 boost in salary if
the Senate approved Winter Bill
passes the House of Representatives.
The measure calling for an in
crease in the salaries of all the coun-
ty treasurers of Ohio was passed 20
to l by the Senate last week Like
some other county officials, the
treasurer's salary is dependent upon
the population of the county.
A bill which would have increased
the salary of the present county
auditor was delayed by the House
Rules Committee until after he had
taken office. 1t is still on the cal
endar awaiting third reading.
Also awaiting action in the House
are two bills which provide for
vacations for county employees and
increased compensation for short
hand reporters of the common pleas
court.
The bill to increase the salary of
the county treasurer will not affect
the incumbent, but his successor
who takes office the first Monday in
September 1949 will benefit.

PhilpOt Bill Now
Goes Before Senate

Columbus, May 28-OP-By a
vote of 108 to the House of Repre-
sentatives last week sent to the Sen
ate a bill introduced by Representa-
tive George c. Philpot (R-Summer-
field) which, if it had been enacted
at the time, would have settled the
wrangle between the state welfare
department and the Noble county
commissioners.
The measure simply amends the
present statutes to allow the board
of county commissioners to abolish
the county department of public
welfare by resolution.
Thomas J. Herbert, when he was
attorney general of the state, held
that the present law did not give
the commissioners this right.
The bill now goes to the Senate
where it has been referred to the
Judiciary Committee.

tend the life of the lake by reduced
sitting. Of the city owned land,
about go acres are barren and need
planting.
From the recreational angle, the
lake and park could be put to any
number of uses. At present it is used
only for fishing, which brings in a
limited revenue. 1t boats were put
on the lake, the fishing license fees
could be increased many fold and
the boats would provide an addi-
tional revenue. This should of
course be limited to city owned
boats, or a city granted concession.
This practice is approved by the
state health department, as it helps
to reduce erosion from the banks.
Many fine young trees have been
cut off along the shore of the Cald-
well lake to make fishing easier, re-
sulting of course in unnecessary
erosion. If boats were available, this
practice would be eliminated.
Picnicing facilities are badly
needed in this area and there is
plenty of scenic beauty at the Cald-
well lake. This would call for a re-
Stricted parking area, few picnic
tables, out door ovens and toilet
facilities
Practically every civic organiza-
ton, together with All clubs, church
classes, lodges. ETC.. would then take
advantage of the local park.
In concluding, this civic minded
citizen suggests that a competent
park engineer be employed to draw
up master plan, which should be
followed rigidly by the park devel-
opment officials. 1t would insure
good design, durability and future
satisfaction.
The community forest park devel-
opment is still in an infant stage.
1t should not be permitted to remain
there much longer.

Council Faced With $500 Question.
Where TO Find New Disposal Dump

Members of the Caldwell council
are faced with 5000 question and
they still don't know the answer.
Residents of Caldwell are asking,
where are we going to dispose our
garbage now that the William F.
Beattey coal company of Pittsburgh,
Pa, has leased the old disposal
grounds at the site of the Caldwell
mine, north of here"
This is still the 5000 question for
that is the amount the coal company
is paying the village for leasing this
ground.
The mine pit is practically filled,
plus the fact it caught on fire sew
eral weeks ago and is still burning.
All the wooden structure has been
consumed by the flames and only
yawning hole remains of what was
once considered a first class dump
ing grounds by the residents of
