OHIO FARMS FATTEN NEW
ORLEANS SHRIMP

Recent reports from the shrimp
canneries of the Gulf of Mexico
indicate that for several years
Ohio farmers have been gradual
ly getting into the shrimp rails
ing business. But it has been a
backward sort of business with
no pay for the farmer who helps
to fatten the shrimp.
Shrimp canneries of the Gulf
recently pointed out that for the
past several years the shrimp of
the gulf have been larger and
much fatter than usual, thanks to
the millions of tons of rich,
black top soil carried into the
Gulf of Mexico by the Mississippi
and her tributaries from good
farm land of the north. DR.. Hugh
II. Bennett, chief of the u. S.
Soil Conservation Service recent
ly stated that the rich top soil
of the United States has been
leaving our farm lands at the
rate of three billion tons annually
with a loss to farmers amounting
to four billion dollars.
The shrimp farmers" seem to
be the only people benefited by
this erosion but they say we can
stop sending the soil down for
there's enough now to last the
shrimp hundreds of years. Fish
management and propagation
authorities point out that eroding
soil cause silt pollution" which
| is highly injurious to fish life
in some stages, SO naturally the
fishermen don't like it. The pro-
cess of cutting away the delta
formed by this mass of rich top
soil at the mouth of the Miss
.issipRi to prevent back flooding is
costly engineering job so the
officials of the Gulf Cities don't
like it either
There is some encouragement in
the fact that several million dol
lars are to be spent here in Ohio
and in other states as we'll to
put into effect some practical
soil-saving measures not parti-
cularly because our soil is bother
ing the people of the south but
to keep Ohio's valuable soil where
| it belongs.

the profession an inferior occupa-
tion," he declared.
Il don't know why they do,
but they do" he added. If you
don't think so, go with me when
/ try to talk high school seniors
into entering teaching"
You can't fool the kids. They
know they can get more money
doing most anything else with a
comparable educational training
period, and have the admiration
of their fellow citizens"
Many Leave Teschine
One of the educators biggest
worries in recent years has been
The diminishing number of high
school graduates enrolling in col
aeges of education. Many of those
who start teaching drop out after
a year or two in the profession.
When school started in Union
county last autumn, there were
40 beginning teachers on the sew
eral faculties. After just one year,
four of the 10 are going back to
college next fall to learn some
thing else.
Lack of pay and better oppor-
tunities in ether fields are thin
ming the ranks of teachers con-
stantly," Supt. Baldwin claims.
Add to these the normal number
of retirements and younger wo-
man teachers getting married,
and it totals up to serious
problem.

Better Food Value

There is plenty of room for saw
ing and better nutrition in the foods
that come into the kitchen, if they
are properly prepared. Food val
ues can be almost completely lost in
cooking. For example, pairing away

addition iron and vitamin c in the
