Support Prices Depend
On Prices Farmers Paw

Enactment by Congress of
laws continuing price supports
for farm products. reminds farm
management specialists at Ohio
State University those support
prices are based on parity, which
is another way of saying those
prices are not fixed but may
vary up or down along with
prices for things farmers buy
and for produce which they sell.
The support prices are intend
ed to preserve farmers buying
power not to pay him specific
number of dollars for a bushel
of wheat or a hundredweight of
pork or beef. If prices of steel,
fabrics and of other commodities
go lower, the, support prices of
farm products will go down
along with them; but if prices of
industrial goods rise, SO will sup
port prices for farm products.
On June Is, the actual market
values of wheat and eggs were
below parity for that date, but
farmers are urged by the farm
management specialists to re-
member that support prices re-
turn the farmer only 80 percent
of full parity, and eggs and
wheat had not dropped 10 per-
cent below parity on June 15
Prices for live chickens and for
potatoes were almost down to
parity June Is.
Farm products which were
way above parity levels on June
Is included corn. all classes of
livestock and butter. Hogs would
have to drop almost a nickel a
pound and cattle nearly 10 cents
before reaching June Is parity
levels. Dairymen were getting
$103 a hundredweight more for
their milk June Is than parity
for that product.
Crop reports indicate an all
time high record for the 1948
corn crop and the second biggest
wheat production in history.
Other crops probably will bring
feed and food production for 1948
to a total never before reached.
Livestock and poultry numbers
are down from levels of recent
years, and only hog and poultry
numbers can be increased mater
tally before 1850.

Cars with defects totaled Do, ,654.
At the halfway mark of the
1948 program, total of 326, 500
cars had been checked, with 53,-
886 cars having some type of de-
feet, indicating a slight improve
ment in the mechanical condition
of our automobiles.
The corporal also points out
that the halfway mark in our
l948 traffic deaths on rural high
| ways which totals 299, is slight
ly below the 307 deaths reported
for the same period in 1947,. al
though the 8,197 reported acci-
dents for the first six months of
1948 is an eight per cent increase
over the 1911 reported for the
same period last year.
The corporal stated that the pa
troll hoped to challenge this in
crease in accidents through our
training of new recruits and
bringing the department up to
our full complement of 400 men.
The halfway mark of our twen-
ty-sixth patrol training school,
consisting of twelve weeks, has
also been reached. The 80 student
patrolmen will complete their
training around October /. I'M
mediately following the gradua-
tion of this school, the twenty
seventh recruit training school
will get under way. Applications
are being received at this time for
recruit patrolmen. The corporal
stated that young men interested
in patrol work as career can
secure application blanks at any
patrol post; further stating that
the basic qualifications are as fol-
lows:
The applicant must be an
American citizen, a resident of
the state of Ohio five years prior
to the date of his appointment, a
high school graduate or the equi-
valent thereto, be between the
ages of 81 and 35, not less than
five feet, eight inches tall, and
weighing not less than 165
pounds, of good physical condi-
ton and of good moral character.
He also pointed out that the re-
cruits in training as well as pa
trolmen on duty are furnished
their uniforms and equipment by
the state, in addition to their reg
ular salary. ......
The corporal stated that the pa
troll hoped to reach their full
authorized strength of 400 men by
the end of this year, and that
young smen interested should
make application as soon as poss-
ible. IN

PREDATORS. In this article,
we wish to set forth some facts
of national Importance in the
fields of biology, geology and boz
tany, also about some of the
conservation practices and of
predator control in particular,
Questions and remarks given
here are not crusading for or
against any cause, they are Civ
en- in the light of scientific study
we have made, and my only pre-
dilection is for facts, and will
permit no sentiment in favor Of
one species of wildlife over an
other to influence my findings,
We will not quote anyone so that
it might be said that we are try
ing to bias or becloud the mat
ter at issue.
We are convinced that a state
bounty on foxes has cost a lot OF
money and has produced no de-
monstratable effects on either
the bountied predators or the
game animals. We are also con-
vinced the state bounty system
just does not work. and we be-
lieve every one has found this
out in the state, but just one
man, and that is the present
commissioner. Here we could
name several state representa-
tives, but will refrain and not
get too personal and stick more
to the subject at hand.
Over a number of years Mich
igan has payed out over $4,000
900 in bounties on wolves, coy
otes and other animals. The price
on the head of wolves reached
the high Of $500 each. Never
theless, the coyote and wolves
have increased despite the boun-
ty as high as it was. In the Pro-
vince of Ontario. Canada, some
$4,000 wolves were destroyed
during certain period at a cost
of over half a million dollars and
there is still no evidence of any
reduction in the wolf population,
if anything, there has been an
increase.
The normal ebb and flow of
the fox in Ohio has continued
without perceptible interference
of bounty payments. Bounty pay
ments have utterly failed to re-
duce the fox population. In fact
what has been done with the
bounty is to kill off the. surplus
and thus make things easier for
those that remain. Where the en-
rors were made, was to go out
promiscously killing every fox
that could be found, and this in
most cases was the healthy fox,
where the sickly fox was holed
up, and was left to further harass
the fox kingdom and the public.
1t is our candid opinion, as
well as others, that if the whole
fox situation, as grave as it was
at times, had been left alone to
work out its own self, the job
would have been done better, for
as the situation now is and re-
mains so that at this very typing,
seems worse instead of better
from the reports we receive from
certain sections of the state
When will the taxpayer waker
and put stop to the waste OF
his tax money on foolish whims
to satisfy bunch of foolish per-
sons who carry a grudge against
the fox that he is not guilty of al
all.

Can Get Better Prices
For High Quality Eggs

Ohio poultrymen who market
eggs through cooperative egg
auctions are paid for the eggs ac-
cording to their quality. d. D.
Meyer, poultry husbandry spec
ialist, Ohio State University,
points out that some eggs deliv-
cred to the Versailles Egg Auc-
tion the. first week in July
brought their owners SIS cents a
dozen while other poultrymen
were paid 40 cents a dozen for
eggs delivered the same week.
The difference of Is cents a
dozen represent. variations in
quality or in condition of the
eggs. The two chief factors in
cutting the price to some poul-
trymen were dirty eggs and par
tial drying eggs due to storage in
rooms with high temperatures
and low humidity. Some Ohio
poultrymen devote as much or
more time to cleaning eggs be-
fore sending them to market as
they spend on all care of the lay
ing flock.
Mr.. Meyer claims the number
of dirty eggs can be cut down
more than so percent by keep
ing deep litter on the laying
house floor, keeping hens off
dropping boards, installing COM
munity nests and gathering the
eggs three or more times daily.
He says the use of community
nests makes the biggest differ
ence in the number of dirty eggs
gathered. -.
The nest recommnded by the
poultry husbandry department
is two feet wide and eight feet
long. The blackboard for the nest
is 80 inches high and the front is
IA inches high. A hinged door
covers the nest, and hens enter
through an eight-inch square
opening in front. One Of those
nests will provide nesting space
for 80 to 100 hens. -,
Wood shavings or SOME other
type of firm litter is best for
nesting material. The community
nest allows several hens to use
the nest at the same time with
out crowding. Quarrels started
by lack of space in box nests re-
suit in broken eggs and each
broken egg sends several others
to the cleaners or cuts down their
market value.
A new bulletin on cleaning
eggs can be obtained free from
| Ohio county agricultural agents
1t describes the mechanical egg
cleaner that has been used sue
cessfully on several of Ohio's
larger poultry farm. Agents can
give directions for building egg
coolers that decrease evaporation
of moisture from the eggs.

THE POETS CORNER
QUESTIONS

When the shades of night have fallen
And each daily task is done
Can we smile with satisfaction
At the setting of the sun?
Can we say we have helped someone
Bear their cross of grief and pain
Trace the sunshine through the shadow
See the rainbow through the rain?
When that neighbor, tired and weary
Was discouraged, sad and blue
Did we speak word of comfort
Did we try to help her too
When that friend fell by the wayside
Did we smile or turn away
For to err we know is human
And we make mistakes each day?
Did the Father watching DER us
Mark our record clean and good
Did He say in deep compassion
She has done all that she could?
