This Farmers Meeting, the sec

grain drying, and corn fertilization

have invited to attend, will lead the
discussions.
1t is pointed out by the meeting
committee that the subject of each
Of the discussions has been respon-
sible for an increasingly alarming
crop or farm income loss each year

to plan future meetings of this ma
ture and other activities
Farmers and county agents of the
four-state areas are quoted as being
seriously concerned with the in
creasing damage done yearly to
crops by the corn borer and the
Japanese beetle. They say also that
the wider use of the corn picker,
the combine, and other efficient
pieces Of relatively new farm ma
chinery have brought the necessity
for consideration of grain and hay
drying methods if losses due to the
presence of moisture in the crops
are to be reduced.

ters by the farmers themselves, and
with the scientific background to be
provided by the state college people

The bus was not crowded,
so that from where I sat the
little boy was clearly visible.
He was about four years old,
a regular tow-head with the
bluest of eyes!
l glanced his way; he looked
at me in that casual way a
child has Of not accepting an
adult until he makes the first
move. So I smiled. The corn
ers of his lips turned upward
as he shyly hid his face against
his mothers arm. But he
searched me out again. This
time, with repeated upward
chances, he deliberately unbut-
toned his winter coat. Throw
ing it wide, he displayed, with
out a word, but with much
pride, a brand new pair of
jeans!
Upon his mothers instruc-
ton he slowly re-buttoned the
coat, but not until a nod and
an expression of appreciation
of the new jeans had been sent
his way.
From in back of his mothers
shoulder, as left the bus, he
courageously called, good

Around Town With
The Editor

Because I ran the story of a
butchering last week, attorney Har-
old Hoffman accuses me of using
this column for promotional pur-
poses. Call it what you will Har-
old, but it not only brought me a
pound or more of the finest saus-
age l ever ate, but also a liberal
portion of souse as well!
What a pity it is that the present
feverish activity regarding the ex-
pansion of the Municipal Light Plant
didn't start two years ago, when
Councilman Claude Potterfeld first
brought the matter to the attention
of the Mayor and Council and the
Board of Street Commissioners.
The present rush to get the work
started is a fine example of locking
the stable door after the horse has
been stolen.

iation on getting traffic light in

iting a promotion, Police Chief Rick
ard and the Street Commissioners
had no easy job in making the final
selection.

Grove roofing contractor and former
Bluffton resident who has been miss
ing since early last week when his
abandoned automobile was found near
Port Clinton not far from Lake Erie.
A note which he left stated that
his body would not be found and a
search by sheriff's deputies in con-
junction with coastguardsmen who
dragged the lake in the vicinity of
Port Clinton failed to uncover any
clues.
The family stated that Warkentin

have wandered off while suffering
from lapse of memory.
