ment can not be found, many
individuals can not purchase
the bare necessities of life.
- The problems of old age are
as old as the human race. Man
lives by work and when his capa-
city for work decreases, or when
profitable employment can not
be found, many individuals can
not purchase the bare necessities
of life.
In ancient times when man
wandered from place to place
in search of game and other
foods he had little time to care
for the aged. He had less inclina-
ton to share his meager food
supply with those no longer able
to join in the chase. Old people
were left to die alone by the
side of the trail.
Under the influence of the
Christian admonition to Honor
thy father and thy mother that
thy days may be long upon the
land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee" the peoples of much
of the world developed new ap-
probation of older people.
The wisdom of our elders was
sought after and the contribution
they made to the wealth of the
world by lifetime of toll was
considered worthy of the right
to live out their days in happi-
ness and security. Each family at
tempted to care for it's own.
Those without family or friends
were cared for by the township,
county or municipality.
Span of Life Doubles
Great discoveries of medical
science and the practice of mod
ern sanitation has doubled the
span of human life. Where few
reached the age of sixty a hun
dred years ago, today millions
live far beyond that age. In. fact,
there were, less than 100000

All Day Tour
Local Tour One OF
Three Planned For
Ohio This Summer

The all-day farm tour con-
Quoted Monday under the aus
pices of the T. V. A. was highly
successful with 1870 farmers par
ticipating during the morning
session which was held at the
L. E. Hedge farm in Brookfield
township.
The T. v. A. was represented
by Howard Landees of Knoxville,
Tenn, who is also in charge of
the other three tours being con-
Quoted in Ohio this summer.
Other visitors included Guy Dow
dy, extension specialist in pro-
gram planning, of Columbus; D.
r. Dodd, extension economist
from Ohio State University, Co.
lumbus; w. S. Barnhart, county
agent of Muskingum county, and
other Muskingum county citizens
who accompanied the county
agent; Earl Shade, of the Mari
eta conservation office, and
County Agent Floyd Henderson.
The L. E. Hedge farm, where
farm pasture and meadow land
fertilization practices have been
carried out for a number of
years, the entire forenoon was
spent in observing and studying
various soil conservation pro-
jects. For the past twelve years
the Hedge farm has been oper-
ated as a T. V. A. demonstration
farm. Fertilization of pasture
and meadow lands has been made
at the rate of 100 pounds of 20
per cent phosphate per acre.
An average of 1877 acres of
pasture land has been treated
yearly. Each plot has received
the treatment for five consecutive
years. On new meadows the fer
tilization program is carried on
for three year period. An aver
age of seven acres is treated
yearly.
A group study of livestock
units produced in 1887 as COM
pared to units produced in l948
was made. A similar study of
crop units produced was also
made.
In the afternoon 105 farmers
attended the tour of three Jack
son township farms. The Erwin
M. Newton farm, operated for the
past seven years as a T. V. A.
demonstration farm, has emphas-
lied the application of lime to
pasture and crop lands. A pro-
gram comparable to that carried
out at the Hedge farm has been
carried out.
Later in the day, trash-mulch
seeding results were observed at
the Albert Way farm. Two mea-
dows, seeded by this method
were studied. The tour ended at
the Dale Lothes farm where sew
eral soil conservation practices
are now in effect. Trash-mulch
seeding of meadow land was also
observed on the Dale Lothes
farm.

John Hawkins, field repre-
sentative of the Ohio Power,
with headquarters in Cambridge,
said that 18 freight cars were
used in bringing this piece of
equipment to the assembling
point at. Cumberland. The as
sembling work was started last
February and completed in four
months.
The boom on the drag line is
165 feet long. Roughly speaking,
it weighs $50 tons and is of the
walking type with six foot steps.
F. Coulson, mining supervisor
for the Commercial Fuel COM
pany said that 83 tons of ballast
were used in the rear of the
drag line. Machine gun slugs
were purchased from Army sur
plus for this purpose.
The bucket is 12R cubic yards.
The primary duty of the drag
line is to uncover coal for the
Ohio Power company up to go
feet. 1t will also be used to take
off the top above 60 feet in or
der that their big shovel can
come in and take care of the
heavy rock.
There are now Is employees
at the Commercial Fuel site in
Brookfield township and it is
rapidly becoming one of the
largest payrolls in this section
of Ohio. The engineers or tech
nirians are affiliated with the
E. hio Power.
Tile entire coal output in
Brcokfield township is used by
the Ohio Power generating
plant at Philo, which has a
daily consumption of 5000 tons.
The new equipment repre-
sents another stride forward by
the Ohio Power in their efforts
to have a dependable source of
supply for the Philo plant and
at the same time keep down the
cost of mining the coal.
In addition to the big 81 cub
ic yard shovel, they have two
other loading shovels and now
the drag line.
The Ohio Power is also now
using eight Euclids which have a
loading capacity of so tons.
They haul coal from the pit to
the washing plant, which is
dropped through in matter of
only four seconds. They operate
with a 275 horse power, super
charged engine and each cost
$32, 300.
The Ohio Power owns in fee
simple approximately 10000
acres of land in the three county
area of Noble, Guernsey and
MuSkingum.
