wheat HARVEST IN
DISTRICT RUNNING
WELL INTO AUGUST
Intermittent Rainfall And Ne
cessity of Cutting Oats
Delay Wheat Harvest
About One-fOWth of Area =
Bumper Wheat Stand Re-
mains in Fields

With approximately one-fourth of
a bumper crop still standing in
fields, the Bluffton areas wheat
harvest this year will be the latest
in a generation, it was pointed out
Tuesday by farm observers.
Intermittent rainfall which has
delayed harvesting operations, the
growing practice of using combines
and the pressure of a ripened oats
stand in imminent danger Of shatter-
ing, have combined to run the
completion of wheat cutting into the
first week of August.
Some farmers predict this month
will be approximately one-third gone
before the wheat harvest is couplet
ed although combines have beer
busy in the fields whenever weather
permits.
Combines Operate Half Time
Farmers had expected to have
wheat harvesting out of the way
two weeks ago, but rainfall at inter,
walls of about every other day KEPT
combines out of the fields about hall
the time, with the result that opera
tions were switched to oats fields
which ripened in the meantime.
DELAYING wheat cutting until the
oats crop is out of the way was {
logical move, for ripened oats head:
shatter more easily than those ot
wheat, and in addition the oper
heads of oats dry out more rapidly
after rainfall.
Rainy, muggy weather in the
meantime has kept the uncut whea
from drying out, and after whea
| had tested at about II per cen
moisture early in the season som,
tests last week were as high as II
per cent.

new WATER SPRAY
SYSTEM OPERATING
AT UTALITY PLANT
Central Ohio Light and Power
Co. Puts New 252-Nozzle
Spray Into Use
1900 Gallons of Water Spray
ed Into The Air Every
Minute BY Installation

Throwing a huge 1,000-gallon
curtain of water into the air every
minute, a new 252-nozzle spray
system to cool water circulated thru
steam condensing equipment is in
operation at the Central Ohio Light
and Power Co. electrical generating
plant here.
Located parallel to the Nickel
Plate railroad, along the east bank
of the 28-acre lake from which the
plant obtains its water supply, the
800-foot-long network of sprays is
an imposing sight.
In its construction, 1900 feet of
"a and 22-inch pipe were used, and
water is circulated through the
system by a 200-horsepower motor
driven pump.
With the spray in operation,
temperature of the water in the
lake has been reduced materially,
with q drop of six degrees apparent
in the first four days Of operation.
Tests at the plant showed that in
the four day period the water tenn
perature was reduced from 80 to 80
degrees.
Operates Only In Summer
1t is planned to operate the spray
only during midsummer months, and
complete temperature data will be
recorded. Analysis of the data will
be used to determine how much ad-
ditional generating capacity can be
installed at the local plant without
overlooking the lake.
Cooling water with the spray also
will improve efficiency of the present
generating equipment during the
summer months, it was announced.
At its present capacity, the spray
system will handle the entire volum'
of the lake in approximately fou,
| days. Plans are being considered I,
enlarge the installation.
Plans for the spray system an,
| its installation were handled by tn,

MILK PRICE GOES
UP ONE CENT TO
y CENTS QUART
One-Cent Boost In Price Is
Second Increase In Less
Than Two Months
Higher Meat Prices Appear In
0ffing As New High Marks
Set BY Hogs

Bluffton retail milk prices moved
upward for the second time in two
months Monday, with a new one-cent
boost bringing the price of regular
grades to % cents a quart.
A previous one-cent increase had
been applied in mid-June, and both
price boosts were attributed to a
general rise in costs of production
and distribution.
Milk is in short supply now, and
dairies do not look for conditions to
show marked improvement until late
in the fall. Prices are going up in
virtually all cities in this part of
Ohio, in evidence of the keen
competition for the available milk
supply, dairymen said.
Hogs At Record High
At the same time, additional in
creases in the cost of retail meat
was indicated when hog prices on
Monday scared to all-time high
marks at two of the nations prin-
cipal markets. Wholesale meat
prices also moved upward in the
wake Of the market development.
Top quality hogs at Cleveland
Monday brought $32 per hundred
and at Chicago quotations We're

Choice wholesale beef also went
up one cent pound, and higher
prices appear in the making for al
classes of meat.
