State Finally Exercises Option
On $50 Acres; Marshall
Inn Remains Open

After months of negotiations,
the state of Ohio late last week
exercised it's option and purchased
most of the Lock Marshall farm
in Danbury township to add 180
acres to the East Harbor state
park.
w. Z. Owens, chief engineer of
the conservation and natural re-
sources division, said "the Marsh
all property is one of several the
state must acquire to round out
the park property.
Funds for the purchase, $35, 900,
were released by the state con
trolling board. The state had
been negotiating for the property
for over three years, but final
settlement came as a surprise to
owners Mr.. and Mrs. G.. l.. Mar
shall, as state officials had recent
ly baked at the life-lease re-
quested for Marshal's Inn.
Under the present agreement,
the Marshalls will continue to use
eight acres of land Immediately
around their Inn. They may con-
tinue to operate their business as
long as they desire, but when
they close the inn, the property
will go to the state to round out
the tract. The purchase includes
$50 upland acres and about 30
acres of water and marshland.

she's crazy with the heat but

pigs is retarded by roundworms
(ascarids).
In carrying out the experiment,
the bureau used eight Gtter-mate
pigs eight weeks old, feeding four
of them infective roundworm eggs.
The other four, which served as
controls, received no worm eggs.
After four months all eight pigs
were weighed, killed and examined
for roundworms. None were found
in the control pigs, but the other
four harbored 100, 80. 20 and IL.
respectively.
Growth of the four pigs that had
roundworms at autopsy was less
rapid than the four controls. The
pig with 109 worms weighed 81
pounds less than at the time it was
fed the worm eggs; its control
hibernate gained 96 pounds.
The pig with .39 roundworms
gained only 48 per cent as much
as its control; the one with 20
roundworms., only SIS per cent as
much as it's control. The growth
of the pig with only IL roundworms
was not retarded very much; it
weighed nearly as much as its con-
troll mate.

Research to Intensity
Winter in Meat Tests

Freezing is one of the oldest ways
of preserving meat. It is also one
of the newest, the U. S. department
of agriculture points out.
In old-time freezing there was
not much that could be done about
the process. It was winter meth
cd depending on continued cold.
A mid-winter or early-spring thaw
might spoil a meat supply intended
to last for additional weeks or
months. This was true whether
the meat was wild game brought
in by hunters or was from domestic
animals.
Modern freezing is still so new
that there, is good deal to be
learned about it. -
This is the purpose Of an expan-
sion of studies of meat freezing and
curing made possible under the re-
search and marketing act. A first
step will be to survey freezing and
curing methods now in use. Samples
of meats typical of these methods
of preservation will be assembled
and compared for quality and nutri-
tive value. Next. the experimenters
will try first to duplicate, then inn
prove the methods which the sur
vey and comparison work indicate
are most effective.
The bureau of animal industry
will have equipment that can i'm
prove on even the most severe
winter weather. 1t will be able to
freeze meat at 100 degrees below
zero if that proves desirable.

the dog was chained and Mario went
on to the letter-box and key Edna
left for him. There was note say
ing she'd be back in an hour, on the

He broke off. She was close to
him now and quite naturally,
simply, her arms linked themselves
about his neck. And she was smil-
ing, not enigmatically. but happily.
What is the theme of all music,
