Cold Weather
Halls Heavy Rain

Falling temperatures Wednes-
day afternoon brought sudden
halt to nearly SO hours of almost
incesSant rainfall, which sent
Union County and other central
Ohio streams out of their banks,
early Wednesday.
Fields throughout the county
were flooded by Tuesday after
noon, when frozen ground could
not absorb the heavy rainfall
rapidly enough, and low-lying
roads in several spots were under
water
Mill Greek was way out of its
banks, and the lowlands west of
Ohio Water Service Co. dam near
N. Maple st. took on the appear
ance of a sizeable lake.
Although no highways were
sufficiently flooded to hold up
traffic, a few inches of water
stood on some of them. State
Route 739 in Liberty Township
was among these, althoug auto
mobiles could still get through.
Some county roads along the lar
ger streams, particularly Big
Darby, were in like condition.
The rainfall began before dawn
Tuesday and continued hard most
of the day. It finally Stacked into
a drizzle and continued until
about noon, Wednesday, when the
temperature began dropping sud-
denly.
High and low temperatures and
rainfall the past week have been
as follows, according to Russell S.
Banks, local observer for the U.
S. Weather Bureau:

Producer S State
Headquarters
In Marysville
Cattle. Sheep. Hogs
Hauled to East In
Fleet of 9 Trucks

Although few people know it,
Marysville has been the state
headquarters for an extensive
livestock trucking firm for the
past five years. 1t was in July,
l943 that the Producers trucking
cooperative was formed. The or
ganiZation is connected with the
Producers Livestock Cooperative
Association, which has its head
quarters at SCI Leonard Avenue
in Columbus.
The Producers, which also Op-
Grated with the Eastern Order
Buying Co., started with one truck
in l943 and at that time Mike
Nickel was hired by the company
as driver. Mr.. Nickel is still with
the Company but now is the di-
rector of "a fleet of 10 trucks
which operates between central
Ohio and the East coast.
They have just recently pur-
chased four new International
tractors. The company now owns
seven international, two AutOCar,
and two Federal tractors. One is
kept in reserve so that the 10
trailers can be kept in service in
the event of a breakdown.
Most to East Coast
The trucks pick up the live
stock at Producer-oWned stock
yards throughout Ohio and cen
trail Indiana and haul it direct
ly to the packers. About rs pei
cent of the animals are hauled
! to the large East Coast cities such
as Wilmington, Del; Baltimore
Philadelphia; and New York City
At present the trucks operate or
an l8-hour schedule between Col,
umbuS and New York City.
Shortly after the first of the
year the company will put a new
million dollar packing plant into
operation in Timberville, Va. This
will be a Producer owned plant
and will step up the volume o.
business considerably.
The maintenance garage for the
Company is located on S. Plum
/ St, adjacent to II. |. Huffman &
Co. garage. Two mechanics, Floyc
Grubbs and Roy Showers, are
employed there to keep the big
tractors in running order. A to-
tai of ID men are employed by
! Producers, here.
Feeding Center Here
An unloading chute and feed
ing center are maintained on N
/ Walnut St, near the Turner
Foundry, to handle cattle brought
/ in from further west. About two
years ago, when a large amount
of cattle were being trucked in
from the western states, it was
necessary to have a stop-ovel
point for feeding and watering
because of the long haul. At the
present time very few cattle are
handled by the Producers trucks
as hogs form the main volume OF
business.
During 1948 a total of $4,000
miles were driven by the com
pany's trucks, according to Mr.
Nickel. Other figures released by
him show that approximately
$4,000 head of hogs, 1900 head OF
calves, and 10000 head of sheep
were hauled direct to the pack
erS in Producer trucks in l948.
