Farm Conditions Send
Ohio Man To England

One step on the road back to nor
NAL national relationship is indicat-
ed by the plans of group of 20 U
S. agricultural economists to attend
their international Conference to
be held in South Devon, England
August 27-September z. Professor
c. G. Mcbride, Ohio State Univer-
sity, is member of the U. S. dele
CATION.
Professor Mcbride says the first
Conference was held at the same
place in England in 1929, one meet.
ing was at Cornell University, anc
the last one was at Macdonald Col.
lege, near Montreal, Canada, in
1899. The scheduled 1941 meeting
in Budapest was cancelled by war
so no Conference has been held
since the one in 1899.
Travel conditions still are far
from normal. The U. S. delegate OBJ
tanned boat reservations for the trip
to England but had to book all
passage for the return. Space or
passenger boats coming from En-
gland to the u. S. is all reserved fol
months in advance.
Topics to be discussed by the &c
delegates from 20 nations will in
clude movements of farm popula-
tionS, effectiveness of marketing
systems for farm products, flexi-
bility of credit systems, state buying
in world trade, conflict of public
and private interests in land owner

Standard Oil In
Wage Adjustment

Employees of The Standard OH
Company (Ohio) and its subsidiar-
les, The Sohio Petroleum Company
and The Sohio Pipeline Company,
including Noble county, will receive
a further increase of three per cent
(33o, making the total eighteen per
cent (18%), in the special tempor-
ary wage adjustment checks for
August, September and October, ac-
cording to w. T. Holiday, president.
These special checks. authorized
by the Sohio Board of Directors, be-
cause of the continued rise in the
cost of living, started in November,
1946. At that time they were ten per
cent (1096) of the previous months
total wage earned by the employee.
In March, 1947, the amount was
raised to fifteen per cen (15%).
Under the new 18P6 policy, the
minimum special additional wage
to any employee will be $50 per
month and the maximum will be
$108.
According to law, continuance of
these special wage adjustment
checks in the case of employees
covered by collective bargaining is
dependent upon inclusion in such
agreements.

One In Every Five
Cars Was Defective

Age and hard driving are catch
ing up with Ohio automobiles.
The state highway patrol an
nounced today that one in every
five motor vehicles in the state
was defective in one way or an
other.
This estimate came from Patrol
1t. M. A. Mock after scanning sta
wide traffic safety check of 338, ,525
automobiles.
The annual check was sponsored
by Ohio police chiefs and the high
way patrol Police Chief Eugene
Weatherly, of Cincinnati, was
chairman, with Chief Lester Mer-
cia, of Columbus, and Col. George
Mingle, of the patrol as co-chair-
men.
This was the most successful
traffic safety check held in the
state J" 1t. Mock asserted. I'VE
received more cooperation from the
police of Ohio cities and our own
staff was more active"
He explained the patrol this year
stopped 1898 machines in its
part of the check, as compared to
only $4,000 cars last year.
Police this year stopped 145, ,342
automobiles,
Ohioans leemed to have a pen
chant for faulty tail-lights. OF the
machines stopped, 1882 had had
tail-lights = largest single defect
discovered.
Surprisingly, only 1854 machines
had bad tires, but 1t. Mock pointed
out these tires were very bad".
''If they were just bad," he said,
1--WE didn't bother with them"
Other defects:
Brakes 1896; horns 4,648; wind
shield wipers, 5,288; headlights 49,
! 416; stoplights 15,401; steering ap-
J paratus, 3,049; rear-view mirrors
1,170; others (including shattered
glass, obscured license plates and
obscured vision) 8,758.

No Relief From
Heat Wave Here

Noble county steamily sighed
through another day of baking heat
Wednesday and the forecast for
Thursday does nothing to brighten
the outlook.
The forecast: Continued quite
warm and humid.
The temperature here reached a
high of 96, equalling the top for the
summer and an exceptional high
humidity added to the discomfort.
The hot weather was general all
over Ohio, and in Cleveland the
temperature fell only one degree
short of the 100 mark.
Lawrence Bowen, II, died after
collasping on Toledo golf course
and two other heat victims there re-
CURED disqualification.
Highest temperature reported
yesterday was Cleveland's official
80. Columbus top was 95, while To-
ledo, Cincinnati and Springfield had
highs of "a degrees.
Thirty war assets administration
workers were treated for heat pros
tration at Cleveland.
Cliff Evans, waterwork's superin-
tendent at Norwood, said the heavy
drain on water supplies had cut re-
serves to one-third of normal and
asked residents to cease watering
lawns and washing autos.
Obviously the place to go is the
Antarctic. Explorer Finn Rome
settled down with an expedition
near the South Pole, reported that
not only does he sleep under seven
blankets every night, he doesn't
even try to venture outside for fear
of frostbite. His thermometer reads
II below zero.

CHICAGO.-The "Order Early"
slogan for fertilizer supplies is just
as important for farmers to heed to-
day as it was in the war years, ac-
cording to a statement issued here
by the Middle West Soil Improve
ment Committee.
1.-THE need for continuing this Or
der early practice is as critical as
ever" the statement points out.
Record supplies of plant food will
be needed again in 1947 These can
be assured only if manufacturers
producing and shipping operations
are spaced over period OF months,
instead of concentrated into a last
minute, spring rush period.
Shortages of raw materials are
still a serious problem to manufac-
turers. They will remain so for
months to come.

Call For Free Market
May Hide Control Plan

Some dairy farmers and some
milk distributors say, Supply and
demand will solve the problem of
the right price for milk if there is
no governmental regulation of milk
marketing" c. F. Christian, spec
ialist in farm marketing, Ohio State
University, doubts that an uncon-
trolled marketing system will bring
fair prices of milk to either pro-
ducerS or consumers.
He quotes the following from a
report of the Dairy Advisory Com
mittee of Dairy Research, "Condi-
tions commonly associated with a
freely competitive market have
been substantially eliminated in
most fluid milk markets through
the development of various power
full groups within the industry.
''Those groups include associations
of producers for the purpose of bar
gaining with distributors, organiza-
tions for distributing milk which are
affiliated with large dairy corpora
tions operating on a regional or a
