MORE COST BOOSTS
SEEN FOR FARMER

Farmers can expect further in
creases in costs of producing
crops and livestock in 1948, is
the prediction of rural economists
at Ohio State university, who say
that the 1947 farm income will
include production costs amount
ing to Sl4,900,000,000.
Those 1947 costs are the pre-
sent point on an upward swing
which is still underway. The
average annual expense of pro-
ducing U. S. crops and livestock
in the period 1858 wa S
S., 200, 100000. The increase ex-
pected in l948 may make pro-
duction costs three times as high
as the prewar level.
Seed prices were 200 percent
I higher tn n the 1853 level,
and those prices probably will be
lifted some more next spring.
Fertilizer prices were 10 to Il
percent higher in l947 than in
1916, and their cost will be high
er next year due to increases in
freight rates and in costs of ma
terials used by manufacturers.
T h e supply of fencing, wire,
and pipe for farm use will more
nearly m e ct demands in l948.
Pipe will be the scarcest of items
in til a class. Cans, containers,
and bags will be more plentiful
than in recent years, but t h e
prices of them will continue at
high levels.
Materials used in sprays and
duSts to control insects and plant
diseases were about 20 percent
higher in 1947, as compared with
1916. More plentiful stocks of the
newer insecticides and of some
Of the old ones are expectd.
Land values, rent, taxes, in
surance, and interest rates prob
ably will keep their positions in
the high level brackets. The
economists say a scanning of
past records indicates prices of
farm products usually drop con-
siderably before there is much
decrease in the cost of good S
which farmers buy.

With the little new year just
around the corner, old and young
are grasping paper and pencils
as they give thought to their
New Years Resolutions. Of course
this is a rather serious step for
some, for the thought of having
to keep a resolution for a whole
year sounds like an awful job.
One rather general resolution
that seems to be coming forth
since Christmas is "I'm never
going TO eat too much again"
Just how many will keep such
resolution, of course is a debat-
able subject, as human nature is
a funny thing that has very little
governing power over the appe-
tites of many of us.

Marysville High school will
play at home twice this week,
and four games involving County
teams are also on the schedule,
to provide a fairly complete
menu of cage fare for the fans.
The Monarchs will play CO.
lumbus West here Tuesday night
and Marion st. Marys, Friday.
Both of them will provide the
locals with some of their stiffest
competition of the entire season,
and the Marion st. Mary game
will be Mid-State League tus-
sic, as well.
Still smarting under their un-
expected defeat at the hands of
Upper Sandusky, last Tuesday,
the Monarchs should bounce
back this week to redeem them
selves in the eyes of local fol-
lowers Of the sport.
West Tough Team
Against Columbus West, Tues
day night, Marysville may not be
able to return to the win column,
but the lads can be counted upon
to give a good account of them
selves in the fray. West is one of
the better teams operating in the
Columbus City League this sea-
son, and has lost only two of sew
en- starts, both by close margins.
The Cowboys will be able to
match Marysville's height-the
first team the Monarchs Have en-
countered this season which
could do this all along the line.
Without their customary height
advantage, the locals will have
to play their best brand of floor
game, and show much improve
ment in their basket shooting In
order to emerge victorious.
But there is a good chance that
it can be done, and the Monarchs
will be all-out to hand West the
same sort of surprise that they,
themselves, got at Upper San
duSky.

FARM SAFETY
PROGRAM SSET UP

Forty-five persons, represent
ing veterans classes, Oranges, the
Farm Bureau, Union Rural Elect
ric, and Producers Marketing Ad-
ministration met in Farm Bureau
hall at 2 p. m. Monday to dis
cuss a farm and home safety pro-
gram in Union County.
WILDER Stuckey, farm safety
specialist of the college of agri-
cultrue, Ohio State University
showed a film on what safety
program can do to reduce accid-
ents on the farm and in the farm
home.
A discussion followed on how
to put over safety program in
the county. All present at the
meeting were agreed that there
should be an educational program
in the country to help reduce
farm and home accidents.
There will be a meeting of the
Farm and Home Safety committe
2 o. m, Jan. 10, in the agricul-
tural extension office. Any farm
organization in the county inter
ested, are asked to be present at
the meeting.
A recent survey Of the rural
districts of the county revealed
that one out of every three farms
had had an accident during the
past year.
Credit for the reorganizing of
this should go to S. j. Mcclure,
chairman of the committee, Ed
Hall, Wilby Cochenour, Carl
Jenny, S. L. Cullman, Mrs. Mary
Diehl and Frank R. Greeneisen,
members of the committee.

TIME FOR THOSE RESOLUTIONS AGAIN;
BUT HOW MANY ARE APTTO Be KEPT?

cases is that !. Christmas only
comes once year. And, while
all this is very true, it is prob
able that this same excuse is
heard on Thanksgiving Day, New
Years Day, Easter, Fourth of
July, birthdays, anniversaries of
all sorts and any other day handy
for having a big dinner, which
probably would turn out to be a
shocking percentage of the year.
There are always those who
think New Years Resolution is
just foolishness. If You're going
to do a thing, you'll do it despite
any resolution.
But just as matter of tradi-
lion, many of us still like to
check each year on the old year
going out, and make an aim or
goal for the new year to come.

HINKLE ADVOCATES
TOWN JOBS
Many Good Positions Open,
According To Vets Serv-
ice Assistant

There are many good jobs for
veterans who have the sincere de-
sire to work hard and intelligent
ly with an eye to the future.
Harold M. Hinkle, field assistant,
Veterans Employment Service,
said yesterday.
'In spite of substantial unem.
ployment of veterans in South
eastern North Carolina, there re
mains a demand for veterans who
have the necessary qualifications
and the backbone" Hinkle con-
tinued.
Employers are always looking
for men with bookkeeping and
s~tenographic experience, men to
operate dry-cleaning plants, fill
ing stations, laundries, electric re-
pair shops, and many other jobs
that only require inititave and the
will to spend some time at theil
work.
For the men who are willing tc
leave town to secure a well paying
position, there are jobs in the
state. nation, and overseas. These
jobs pay off in security and gooc
wages, and it is advisable to &C
to the job if you can't find one
at home. Hinkle concluded his
statements with the following ad
vice.
IF you are an unemployed
veteran and can qualify for these
Jobs, see your State Employment

AL ILLS COII1CS dDUuC I'LL OuSIl tlie
readings of kilowatt hour con-
sumption on the charts in the pow
err house of the Tide Water Power
company.
Facts used in the compilation
came from A. j. Harriss, power
engineer, who pointed out that the
living habits of city and county
folk show up very definitely on
the large number Of charts which
indicate average consumption of
electricity for the various hours
Of the day and the days Of the
week.
It seems, according to 'Reddy
Kilowatt' that the country folk no
longer get up with sur and leave
the. fields at dusk. The average
consumption of electricity stays
low and constant until about S
o'clock in the morning then slowly
| picks up to a z o'clock peak which
indicates that most farmers start
their electric mixers sometime
after the sun starts to rise then
come in for breakfast between the
hour Of $50 and 7 o'clock.
Not so with his city cousin, who
likes to lie in bed until the last
moment. Consumption in the urban
areas show that a rise on the
charts does not start until 7
o'clock, indicating lights are start
ing to dot homes in the city, keep
ing a steady rise until 10 O'Clock
when the last Of the stay-in-bed-
der's apparently start their day.
In the country electric consump-
ton falls rapidly after breakfast
until 8 o'clock, then starts a steady
rise to 6 p. m.
The country chart remains Tor
NAL until 9 p. m. then starts to
drop off until 1890 p. m. which
appears to- be the 'witching hour.
This goes to prove the old adage
that ''the country man goes to bed
earlier than the city dweller" and
further impetus is given to the
thought by the city chart which
shows a 7'o'clock peak-probably
dinner time-then drops off grad
ually until l a. m.
However, this is not true Of Sat-
urday night, when the low is not
reached until 2 a. m. which proves
the city teller still likes his Sat
urday night parties.
One oddly of the findings is that
Monday morning reveals an earlier
rising hour for city jewellers. prob
ably due 10 the day of rest they
have received on Sunday.
Washday seems to be everyday
with no particular load noticed on
