Town Sued by Contractor for $4,000
Yield, Qualify
Far Superior to
Ordinary Years
Recent Rains Will Affect
Unharvested Crop,
Ohio Grain Man Says

This years wheat crop has,
so far, been one of the best we
have ever handled" Harry P.
Clouse, president of the Ohio
Grain Co., declared today. His
company operates grain elevators
in Marysville, Milford Center,
North Lewisburg and Mechanics
burg.
Due to the heavy rains of the
past few days, however, the quail
ity will probably go down, Mr..
Clouse said. THE rains will affect
both the test weight and moisture
content of the grain, fact which
many farmers do not seem to
understand" he stated.
But up to the time of the rains,
this years wheat is about as good
as any farmer could ask for, MIR.
Clouse Uldicated.
Yields up to 43 Bushels
The harvest this year has been
yielding as high as 43 and as
bushels per acre, he said. The
average this year is more than 80
bushels per acre against an
average yield of 20 to 25 bushels
in an ordinary year.
Quality of the grain is of the
best, he stated. The grain is
testing from SO to 63 pounds pei
bushel against 56 to go pounds ir.
previous years"
Moisture content so far has
been Just right, testing from ID
percent down. An even ii per
cent moisture content is the fed
eral grade standard, and Union
County's grain SO for has been
running from II to IA percent,
Mr.. ClOuse reported.
Rains Increased Moisture
1T is in moisture content that
the rains will most affect the
wheat which has not yet been
harvested he added The often
er 1t may rain, the more the grain
Will be affected. We regret to
see 1t happen, especially to a crop
as fine as this has been so far,
but there is nothing that can be
done about it.
One of the features which
makes this years crop so re-
markably fine, he concluded, is
the fact that it is uniformly good
Everywhere. In ordinary years.
1t IS not unusual to see good
fields of wheat here and there.
But this year, one field is as good
as another and there are no
'Spotty' areas"

Negotiations Resumed, Federal Aid
For County Hospital May be Obtained

The Union County Hospital
may not be so far away, after all.
According to the County Hos
pital Board, chances for Federal
Aid have improved considerably
in the last few weeks. Negotia-
tions have ben resumed with the
proper authorities, and construc-
ton might be started in a matter
of months if certain conditions
can be met.
First is the necessity to collect
the balance of hospital pledges.
1t is necessary to have cash on
hand or in government bonds to
qualify for the l/3 help which is
possible under the federal plan.
The outstanding pledges are not
large. Considering recent pay
ments on subscriptions amount
ing to about $4,000. The total
The Union County journal. [volume] (Marysville, Ohio) 1875-1951, 1948-07-19

actually paid approaches 100000
from the subscriptions total of
$24O,0O0.
The funds in sight will not
build as large a hospital as called
for in the original plans. How
ever, it is considered the size will
be adequate for a start and the
building will be planned for easy
extension when funds are avail
able and patronage warrants.
If present hopes reach maturi-
ty, Union County will own a first
class, modern hospital costing in
the neighborhood of a half mil
lion dollars, at a county bond
levy of less than one-fourth that
amount in the Sl22,000 levy voted
in 1914, Approximately half Of
this will have been collected in
taxes by the end of this year.

0ldsters, Women
Most Unemployed

Oledr people draw unemploy-
ment benefits for longer periods
of time than do younger persons
and women remain unemployed
longer than do men. That was
the conclusion Bureau of Unem-
ployment Compensation Admin
strator Frank J. Collopy drew in
a report issued today.
The report was based upon a
, survey of persons drawing un-
employment benefits in Ohio
during a 52-week period ending
sometime in 1947. The 161,226
benefit claimants surveyed aver
aged ten weeks of unemployment
benefits each out of possible 90
Nearly one-third were women
One out of every five men re-
mained long enough to draw the
maximum in benefits. The diff
Guilty older workers were having
in finding jobs was reflected in
the fact that almost one-third OF
the men between SIS and ga used
up their maximums. Three out OF
every five men 65 or over re-
NAMED out of work for more
than % weeks and drew their
ceiling in benefits.
Nearly two out of every five
x,xo,~oor ox,boucfod their bappfit
amounts in the 52-week period
Noting a marked increase in the
length of the unemployment per-
iod for women 35 or older as
compared to younger women, Mr.
Collopy pointed out that age re-
strictions on new jobs are usually
much more rigid for women than
for men.
