IN MEMORIAM
FRANCIS PETTAY WHEELER

FRANCIS PETTAY WHEELER
Sept. 30, 1859-Nov. 6, 1914
The good men do, lives after them,
its true.
Lives on, till time shall end;
Thus may we speak of him we
knew
AS neighbor and as friend.
Of him whose kind encouragement
So oft dispelled our gloom;
Whose presence fingers like a bene-
diction
Here within this room.
Whose ready hand was e'er out
stretched,
Whatever might betide,
To offer aid, to proffer means
To counsel and to guide.
Whose loyal heart, however true
To noble cause, or friend.
If wounded, bore it silently
And loved his fellowmen unto the
end.
He loved the church, our chapel,
Country flag;
He loved our schoolS-our youth,
Full half century he taught,
Instilling worth, and truth.
He loved the great outdoors;
Trees, gardens and flowers, the sod;
And loving these, Gods handiwork,
Communed with God.
He loved his family, his home, his
fireside;
An tho he travelled to East and
West,
Returned he always, more than
satisfied,
He loved our hilltop best.
The songs he loved,-we love them
too,
But ne'er can sing again.
Without feeling deep his presence
And hearing a grand amen.
In widening circles down the years
His~works shall carry on
Till love and truth as last prevail
And new day shall dawn.

MEMORIES OF SCHOOL

am sitting tonight and thinking
OF the days of long ago,
And the little white schoolhouse that stood the HILL
Where dearly loved to CO.
With lessons to learn and games to play
In that little white schoolhouse on the hill
How wish could live those days again
AS they linger in memory still.
Many years have passed since l was there,
My Schoolmates scattered and gone,
And the little white schoohouse is the hill
And the books old and
When think of my teacher and schoolmates so dear,
Who gathered there each day
To greet each other with glad good morn
And study our lessons and play
AS look back DER the years that passed
Since lass in school
With lessons to learn and games to play,
And learn the Golden Rule
But those days past, they have gone away
They will back any
But we hope to each there,
When meet that golden shore.

Ohio Food Plan Puts
More Wheat In Bread

Ohio's campaign to reduce wheat
consumption which was initiated by
Dean L. l.. Rummell, college of agri-
culture, Ohio State University, en-
paaslzeS ways to save the grain so
I can be used to save human lives.
The Ohio plan does not take one
food calory from any person in the
United States.
Members of departments in the
agricultural college have made re-
concentrations which would save
millions of bushels of wheat if ap-
piled in Ohio. The first waste which
should be eliminated is the loss of
stored grain from rat and weevil
damage. Weevils can be stopped by
fumigation and rats can be killed
by poison bats, poisonous gases,
traps, and gun fire.
Poultry rations can be cheapened
and wheat and its byproducts can
be saved by doubling the amount of
alfalfa In poultry mash so it makes
10 per cent of the total weight. Pro-
fessor E. L. Dakan says that change
would release a million bushels OF
wheat for human consumption. Tur-
keys can go to market without top
finish, and all poultry should be
kept off all feed for IL hours before
killing. Gull birds are feed wasters
and half filled feeders avoid waste
Hogs are fed more wheat than any
other class of livestock in Ohio. With
a lot of soft corn to be fed before
next spring, Professor j. S. Coffey
thinks wheat for fattening hogs
would be a waste of money as well
as grain. Dairy grain rations can be
reduced and milk production costs
lowered by increasing the amount OF
good roughage fed to the cows.
In all livestock and poultry fatten-
ing, the last pound of fat is the one
which takes the most grain. Leaner
meat is just as good food, and lean
beef can be made with pasture and
dry forage.
People who are really serious
about finding ways to reduce food
costs are advised by extension spec
ialist E. B. Tussing to compare costs
of cereal products with the price OF
white and sweet potatoes. The latter
are plentiful and should be used
now, and there are ample supplies
of white potatoes. Fruits and vege-
tables will reduce amounts of cereals
needed but do not reduce living
costs.
Professor j. /. Falconer reports
the 1947 u. S. wheat harvest al
1,427, 900, 900, an all-time high re-
cord. Total European wheat produc.
tion in 1947, outside Russia is estim-
ated at 1,130,000,000 bushels. Food
consumption in the United States is
about IL per cent higher per capita
than in 1859, but Europeans are
eating 25 per cent less than they did
before the war.
Ohio farmers will not lose any
1947 crops through lack of harvest
help if few more sugar beet work
ers can. be found. Guy Dowdy, SUI
pervisor of emergency labor, says
quite a few workers from southern
states went home for cotton picking
when frosts arrived early in Ohio
Apple picking in Ohio is being com
pleted without loss of fruit.
