Weather Balloon is Found
on Dover Township Farm

flied the balloon and suggested
the weather bureau might be
interested in knowing where it
had landed. Mr.. Leach then
brought it to Marysville Tuesday,
to report on it to Russell S. Banks,
local weather observer.
The balloon landed in a field
which Mr.. Leach was ploWing
during a heavy Wind-storm. The
thing came in fast, driven hard
by the wind, and hit the ground
with such force that the sticks
of the under-rigging were broken
into several pieces" he said.
When properly assembled, the
tin-foil under-rigging is roughly
shaped like a siX-pointed star
and is about six feet across,
This part was added to weather
balloons recently when the wealth
er bureau began following them
with radar, rather than field
glasses, the tin-foil showing up
better on radar screens.
Several such balloons have been
reported found over the country
in recent days, since the mystery
of the flying saucers" began
sweeping the nation.

If those flying discs" being
seen all over the country turn out
to be weather bureau observa-
ton balloons, then Leroy Leach,
Dover township farmer will have
the honor of having found one.
The balloon, with kite-like
device made of tin-foil glued to
heavy paper attached underneath,
landed on his farm approx
mately two weeks ago. Although
not exactly certain what the
device was, Mr.. Leach suspected
it was used in government expert

He kept it at his home as a
curio until his cousin, Fred Lowe,

AT WHEAT CROP
PRICE SUPPORTING
PROGRAM SET UP
Loans to be Available
Through Dec. 81 at
80 Percent of Parity

The US. Department of Agri-
culture announced today that
purchase agreements as we'll as
loan contracts will be offered to
wheat growers on their 1947 crop.
Only wheat grading No. 3 or
better, or No. 4 or No. 5 because
of test weight only, will be eli
gible for loan or purchase.
, Loans on l947 crop wheat,
computed at 80 percent of parity
at the beginning of the 1947
marketing year as of July l.,
will be made available by the
Commodity Credit Corporation
through Dec. 81, and will mature
+, on April 80, 1948, or earlier on
demand.
Purchase agreements will be
offered growers through Dec. 81,
and will provide for purchases
of whatever quantity of eligible
wheat producer may elect to
deliver to the Commodity Credit
Corporation during the 60-day
period Immediately following the
maturity date of 1947 wheat
! loans.
Purchase prices will be the
same as the corresponding loan
delivery rates; producers who
sign a purchase agreement will
have the protection of the price
support without taking a loan
| on their wheat and will not be
bound to sell to Commodity Cred
: it, if at any time during the loan
period they wish to dispose of it
through some other channel.
In most years heretofore only
loans have been available to the
wheat growers. This years pro-
gram, including purchase agree
ments as well as loans, is de-
signed to simplify the program
for farmers and reduce admin
strative costs.
| The loan rates at terminal
markets will reflect increased
! freight and handling charges and
90 percent of the advance in pari-
ty since July /, 1916. The us.
parity price for wheat was S2.02
| per bushel on May Is.
Loan rates at county and coun-
try stations, computed on the
basis of the terminal market
rates, will result in weighted
average loan rate of 80 percent
of parity to producers as of July
1. In general, the loan program
will operate the same as in 1916.
Eligible producers can make
applications for loans or execute
purchase agreements at their To-
cal AAA office.

UNION LEADS IN
FARM ACCIDENTS
Survey Is Completed
BY O.S.U. Specialist

Results of a recent survey of
farm accidents show some start
ling figures, in the number of ac-
cidents in 1916. The survey was
conducted by students of voca-
tional agriculture and veterans at
tending the veterans agriculture
classes.
Mr.. Stuckey, specialist on Iarm
accidents, of Ohio State univer-
sity stated that Union county had
the highest number of farm acci-
dents of any Ohio county in
1916.
The following facts are based
on the information received from
5 percent of the farm homes OF
Union county.
One out of every three farms
surveyed had been an accident,
A total of 1856 days time was
lost by farm accidents. These
were replaced by 1874 days of
hired labor causing a total of
approximately ,93950 needed
to pay medical expenses, mater
ial damage and wages.
The survey shows that 1856
percent of the accidents were oc-
cupational farm accidents, 3.97
percent public accidents, 8.8 per-
cent traffic accidents and 11.8
broken bones, strains or bruises,
cuts, but a number of crushed
hands or feet and other more ser
ious injuries, also resulted.
More statistics reveal that
AS percent of the accidents re-
suited from misuse of farm mach
inery and falls. Also a largest
number, 1872 percent of the ac-
cidents, happened to those be-
tween the ages of 25-44 years of
age, with the next highest per-
centage group being 1854.
The largest number of acci-
dents happened in the barnyards,
with building taking the next
highest toll, and field accidents
next in line. These three types
totaled more than rs percent OF
the accidents.
1t was also noted in the sur
vey, that most of the accidents
happened in the months of July
November and December.

KIWANIS TO HOLD
SOAP BOX DERBY
FOR UNION COUNTY
Winners of July 80
Event Here to Compete
In Columbus Finals

For the first time in the 10
years that the American Soap
Box Derby has been held, Union
county boys will be able to par
ticipate on their home grounds.
The Marysville Kiwanis club
is sponsoring soap box derby,
to be held in Marysville July 80.
The winner and runner-up from
the contest here will go to Co.
lumbus in August to compete in
the central Ohio finals, sponsored
by the Columbus Citizen. The
Columbus winner will then go
to Akron to participate in the
national finals.
Any boy from Union county
who is in the proper age brackets
may compete in the Kiwanis
clubs contest. Entry blanks, an
official rules and guide book,
and any other necessary informa-
ton may be obtained at the
Splitter Motor Sales, Chevrolet
garage, or at the Sawyer lnsur-
ance agency.
On w. Fifth st.
Tentative plans call for the
contest to be held on the W..
Fifth st. hill, between Buckeye
st. and the alley beside DR.. II. E..
Stricker's office.
Boys between the ages of 13
and Is will compete in the class
"a" contest, while boys from IL
to IL years old will enter in class
"B". Boys participating must
construct their own racers, and
may spend not more than $6 on
it, exclusive of wheels and aXels.
Since official soap box derby
wheels and axels must be used,
and they cost approximately $l1,
the Kiwanis club plans to enlist
the aid of local business and
professional men as sponsors, to
finance the cost of the wheels
and prizes.
Prizes Being Arranged
Every boy who completes will
receive a desirable prize of some
nature, according to tentative
plans as completed at the Kiwan-
is meeting Monday. The boys
who win the two contests here
will probably receive several
prizes. The tentative prize list
will include such things as base
balls, bats and gloves, basket
balls, roller skates, and other
such items.
Several Marysville boys have
all ready started work on their
soap box racers, and it is hoped
to have a number of entries.
