DuIlng towards 1urCner de-
velopment of the industry.
This makes both production
testing and artificial insemina-
ton service available to all
Noble county dairymen for the
first time"
The extension service in Noble
county this year has been under
the supervision of Floyd Hen
derson, who has served as agent
since April Is, 1916, but now on
leave for a semester's work at
Cornell University, Ithica, N.
Y, Kenneth N. Brown, who
served as acting county agent in
charge of club work from July
IL to Sept. 8, 1949, and Joseph
H. Brooks, of Carrollton, who
has been serving in that capaci-
ty since that time.
Miss Ada GosSage has served
as home demonstration agent
since Oct. l, 1948. Miss Lavina
Hedge, of Brookfield township,
is the efficient office attendant.
A home demonstration agent
has been employed in this county
for ten years and there has been
a county agricultural agent for
20 years.
There were 176 farm meetings
held throughout the year with a
staggering total of 1906 farmers
and their families in attendance.
Six tours were conducted with
$50 attending.
There are Ill Noble county
dairymen who now belong to
the local service unit.
The dairy market in this coun-
ty now seems adequate but may
require some careful attention in
the months ahead when sur
pluses accumulate and prices de-
cline, in the opinion of Agent
Brooks.
The Veterans Agricultural
training program is a great help
in carrying the program to all
corners of the county. There are
nine organized classes with
about 180 men actively enrolled,
The 1949 farm income has
been little different from year
ago in Noble county, although
the trend has been down. The
good crop yields have produced
an increased volume of livestock
and products to be sold. This in
| creased volume of marketable
products, however, has been en-
tirely offset by the reduced

1879 OF Farms In
Noble County Go
To Coal Company
In 1949. Says
Agent Gossage
In Annual Report

There were $50 Noble county
women who attended the 43
home demonstration project les
sons on Furniture Arrange
ment" and Color in the Home
during the past year, according
to the annual report released to-
day by Miss Ada B. Gossage,
home demonstration agent for
the county.
There was an estimate of 800
articles prepared and decorated
for the women at the savings of
four hours per article over their
previous methods of applying
decorations.
Miss Gossage said, 'This has
been an ideal year for extension
work SO far as weather condi-
tions were concerned, as the
roads were open the year round.
There were no severe calamities
in the way of flood, snow or ep-
idemics to prevent an even flow
of work the entire year..
The report discloses that 8812
days were spent on general ex-
tension activities. There were
1891 reached at seven county in
stitutes in November and De-
cember.
Over 700 bulletins were dis
tributed to farm families in the

effect upon the candidacy of all
persons running for state office.

called Massachusetts, ballot in
which candidates are listed under
offices instead of in a column of
their political affiliation.
In Noble county, as through
out the state, voters must now
cast their vote for each indivi-
dual candidate, thus doing away
with the possibility of any weak
candidate riding into office or
the coat-tail of a popular head
of the ticket.
A margin of 7,487 votes pre-
vailed for the constitutional
amendment under the ruling ot
the supreme court. The amend
ment, placed on the November
ballot by initiative petition, re-
ceived LOOT, 1893 yes votes in the
election and 750,206 no votes.
The issue was taken to the
court because of wording in the

would have required a majority
vote of all persons taking part in

State Speaker
AT Beef Meetinq
Tn Sarahsville
$50 Farmers Hear
State Specialist
Monday Afternoon

Over one hundred and fifty
Noble county farmers attended
the meeting at Sarahsville, Mon
day afternoon, when James War
ner, extension beef specialist
from Ohio State University, Co.
lumbus, gave an interesting talk
on the beef production in Noble
county.
Warner broke his speech
down into seven highlights, all
of which must be considered if
beef production maintains a
higher level in this county.
He first spoke of the land,
labor and capital, all three of
which blend into the picture as
far as this county is concerned,
with emphasis on the slope, fer
tility and value of local farm
lands.
Warner pointed out that a
commercial cow herd for good
feeder calf production should be
maintained on good roughage.
The owner should strive for a
high percentage of calving and
choose cows for long service and
milking ability.
Noble county farmers were in
terested in learning that more
feeder buyers from western Ohio
are wanting native stock and
Noble county is ideally situated
for a thriving market.
He touched briefly on calves
versus yearlings, pointing out
that one cow can be kept on less
than a yearling and that more
cows mean more calves to sell.
One of the most important
factors was improving the quail
ity of calves in Noble county
through good breeding. Speaker
Warner said that calves will not
raise in grade but can go lower
and many farmers are prone to
| overlook this fact. A good sire
for a six cow herd is a necessity
with artificial breeding for beef
cattle paving the way.
The bluegrass pastures in this
, county have the greatest poten-
tiality, said Mr.. Warner, but are
the most abused grass.
He concluded by saying that
500 pounds of complete fertilizer
every other year on a well lined
soil is the best condition for
bluegrass.
Acting County Agent Joseph
H. Brooks had charge of the
meeting and introduced the state
speaker Interest in the meeting
was unusually high.

100000 minimum royalties an
nually through 1856 and $450,00
per year afterwards.
The Pittsburgh firm will pay
Hanna $l57,83 cash for the land
and issue debenture bonds for
the balance of the sale 81, ,655, 900.
Pittsburgh Consolation also will
assume approximately $1,000, 1000
in obligations attached to the
acreage.
The purchase was the second
major transaction between the
companies in the past three
years. In 1916 Pittsburgh Con-
solidation acquired Hanna Coal
Co. in Ohio for $4,000 common
shares of stock.

Roads In County
To Receive Slaq
Marion Township
Will Buy Grader

More than a thousand yards OF
crushed limestone were pur-
chased Monday by the commits
sioners for use on four county
highways. The two largest ord
ers, for 500 yards, were placed
with Walton Morris and James
Merry.
A new road grader will be
purchased by the trustees OF
Marion township in the near fu-
ture. The county commissioners
granted the board of trustees
permission to trade used grader
with the Gallon Iron Works. Ac-
cording to the specifications
listed, the new maintainer is not
to cost over $4,000.
Walter Christman, we'll known
local contractor, was awarded a
contract calling for 80 yards OF
crushed stone. The material is
to be delivered and spread on
the Cub Run road.
In Enoch township, the county
commissioners agreed to furnish
500 yards of stone for the Ball
Holler and Rado Ridge roads.
James Merry was successful bid
der on the contract.
The repairing of other roads
upon which the board agreed
Monday included the Rich VAL
ley and Forest Grove highways.
The material, 500 yards in all,

Steer Projects
To Begin Early
For All Club
Members Here

County Agent Joseph Brooks
said today that All club mem
bers who plan to carry a steer
feeding project next year should
place their animals on feed i'm
mediately if they have not al
ready done so.
The county agent warned
members that calves should be
started with small amounts of
grain and the amount increased
until the animal is eating all it
can clean up in thirty to forty
five minutes. If calves show a
reluctance toward eating grain,
all roughage should be withheld
until they start to consume the
grain mixture.
Calves, the county agent
pointed out, are like humans
and have a sense of taste. The
grain mixture therefore should
be palitable and should contain
a good quality corn ana goou
protein mixture. Equal parts of
soybean oil meal, cotton meal
and linseed meal forms very
good protein concentrate. The
mixture should be fed at the
rate of one and half pounds
per day in addition to the other
farm grains.
Liberal amounts of hay should
be fed at first with a gradual
decrease in hay and an increase
in grain as show time ap-
proaches. Mr.. Brooks warned
that good quality hay is essen
tial for the fattening of beef
cfaprs.
