Noble County Has
2,Ol6 Farm Owners

Columbus, Aug. 27-More Noble
county farmers are acquiring title
to the land they till, according to a
report issued by rural economists
at the Ohio agricultural experiment
station.
Since the last agricultural census
in l945 when a total of 81 percent
of Noble county farms were oper-
ated by tenant farmers, the number
of purchases of farm land by ten
ants and farm workers has tended
to increase while that of non-far-
mers decreased.
Farm tenancy in Noble county
has varied from 14.7 percent in 1880,
1876 in 1900, 14.2 in 1920 to lat in
1910. In 1945 there were 2,016 farm
operators in the county, and of these
1,707 were full owner operators,
l45 part owners, one hired farm
manager and 153 tenants.
The decline in farm tenancy to
the lowest level in so years has been
due to the prosperous economic
conditions during the past seven
years.
The growing tendency to own
land coupled with a relatively low
mortgage indebtedness supports the
opinion that the financial distress
existing in the 1905 can be avoid
ed.

Benefit Game Will Be
Held Next Sunday

The Caldwell Merchants baseball
team will tangle with the Cam
bridge Red Sox, Sunday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock in a benefit game
for Warn Oliver, valuable member
of the team who was injured last
Sunday.
Oliver sustained a broken collar
bone and other body bruises in the
game with the GAINESVILLE Black
Stars. The accident occurred when
Oliver collided with third baseman
Roberts in his dash from second to
third base.
He was given medical treatment
by DR.. N. S. Reed and then removed
to his home on Playground street.
The benefit game, Sunday after
noon at the fairgrounds will serve
as a gesture of appreciation from
his team mates.
The Caldwell Merchants have
scheduled another baseball game
with Lowell, to be played at the
fairgrounds, Labor Day, beginning
at 2:30 o'clock.

Local Highway
Project Is Now
Under Contract
When Completed, All
Village Streets And
Alleys Will Be Paved

The road improvement project in
Caldwell, sponsored and approved
by the village council, started last
Thursday morning with Hall and
Barber, Inc, contractors, of Cam
bridge, in charge.
The 100000 project is proving to
be one of the most worthy accom-
plishments to date by the council
and will do much to keep Caldwell
in her standing as an up and coming
small community.
When completed, Caldwell will
not have single highway or alley
that is not tar bound and improved
"a record that very few communi-
ties with population of 100 can
boast of. Caldwell has always been
a clean community, well laid out
and situated, and this latest i'm
provement further enhances the
beauty and living conditions of
property owners.
George Hall, of Cambridge, is in
charge of the project. T. Dye Barn
house, formerly of Caldwell, now of
Granville, is a representative for
this company and it was he who
made direct contact with the coun-
Gil.
The project includes two applica-
tions of a dust laying bituminous
material, topped with fine sand and
gravel cover material.
The Noble county commissioners
are aiding the village solons in that
the county motor grader is being
used for this purpose with the
county furnishing the operator.
The project is broken down into
seven sections. It will and does in
clude East Main street and Cumber-
land street, on the square, with
double seal.
North street, including the section
on the square, will also receive
double seal.
The others are Sycamore street,
Poplar street, Spruce street and
Belford street in section three;
Cumberland, Frazier and Spruce
streets in section four; Railroad and
Oaklawn streets in section five; the
alley to the railroad on the West
Side, in addition to Spruce and
Playground streets on the West Side
in section six, as well as the four
alleys on the main part of the busi-
ness zone, extending for one block,
such as the alley from Madge's
Specially shop through to Spruce
street, from the county Jail to Lew
is street, from the First National
bank to Bridge street and Stellfox
Cut Rate to the home of Mrs. J. B.
East street.
The last section, known as num-
Der seven, will be devoted entirely
to Cliff road, near the st. Philo-
mena Catholic church to the Will
liam Rice home on North street.
1t is not believed that the council
has overlooked a single unpaved
section in Caldwell If there should
be an omission, the contracting
company will get the go ahead sig
nal and it will be repaired.
