tural agent in Lake County, learn
ed three years ago that Cleveland
business man, r. l.. Leach, had
purchased for $1,000 5-acre
apple orchard IS miles from
Cleveland, he figured Here is
another city man throwing his
money away on an uneconomic
enterprise he knows nothing
about. >
Leach admitted he knew moth
ing about growing fruit, but ask
ed the county agen for some bull
letins and advice. He got both,
but Haskins still felt that in 2 or
3 years here would be an orchard
for sale by a disillusioned city
farmer.
Despite the heavy apple crop
in 1949, Leach reported he did
pretty well' on his crop. He sold
1000 bushels of apples in used
containers at prices ranging from
So to So per bushel. His Johna-
thans were sold on the tree at
50 per bushel, apd he received
S1.40 per bushel for the drops
His principal expense was for
spraying which he hired a neign-
Dor to do.
Leach has built home on his
property and is looking forward
to having lots of fun in the tut
ure on his fruit farm.
Hasklns credits Leach's success
as follows: First of all he is a
good business man and a real
salesman. He enjoyes the work
and realizes the Importance of
producing fine quality fruit. He
also realizes there is no substi-
tute for learning the fine points
of fruit growing and of person
ally supervising the work.
Special sessions for suburban
and part-time farmers, such as
Mr.. Leach, will be conducted
during Farm and Home Week
this year at Ohio State University.
Courses will be at 7:30 p. m.

Ohio Educator Who Aided School
Work In Japan Is Speaker Here

III you forget everything elSe
I've said, remember this, No mat
ter what your religion, there is
always a God, said S. K. Baker,
of Fairborn, superintendent OF
Bath Township schools, in closing
his talk on Japan" at a Family
supper at the Presbyterian Church
Wednesday night. The speaker
told his audience that this state
ment was made to him by Buo-
dhist Priest when he visited a
Buddhist Shrine on a small in
land island while he was in Japan.
Mr.. Baker was one of 10 Ameri-
can educators sent to Japan by
the u. S. Government for three
months stint to hold work
shop sponsored by Tokyo Uni
versity.
During their stay the speaker
stated that he and his co-workers
toured the four islands of Japan
and counseled with the school
boards in educational administra-
ton.
Setting up of this system Of
school administration, Mr.. Baker
stated is a new departure in
this 2600 year old country. The
curriculum calls for six years Of
elementary schooling, three years
of junior high and three years
of senior high schooling. Ninety
percent of the teachers are
men.
One of the things that i'm
pressed Mr.. Baker, were the rules
posted for guidance Of students;
A few Of these of special interest
were: Remember to show proper
respect TO your teachers and
elders; do not forget TO be clean;
remember to do your sweeping
well (the school children do all
the janitor work in the schools); !;
do your work Well .
Another admonition on the
posters, read ITO avoid speaking
my mind frankly, | put my
thoughts in a poem.
Mr.. Baker said that one of
the things which amused him
most, was the day he came upon
a Japanese girl perusing a Sears
and Roebuck catalog. These girls,
he said, are thrilled beyond words
if they can get "G.I friend
who will bring them one of the
catalogs. Immediately they set
about sorting out things to order
from the United States, he con-
cluded.
Japan, he stated, would not
have been the country OF his
choice, had he been allowed to
state a preference, but when a
call came from the Pentagon
building in Washington, asking
would he go, he seized the op-
portunity In passing he remarked,
he was very glad after he had
the experience, that the privilege
had been afforded him. Also, he
stated, that after his three
months stay, he was more than
grateful that he was an Ameri-
can.

DETROIT, Jan. g. Second
Baseman Cass Michaels has
turned down two contract offers
from the Chicago White Sox but

this way:
II read a lot about the high
price the Sox put on me when
they talked trades this winter.
But If I told you what kind of
salary raise I was offered, you'd
laugh"
He did not disclose the money
involved.
Michaels said he was "yery hap
py" playing for Chicago but he
repeated his belief that he should
get more money.
After all. led the club in hit

triples and a couple Of other
things" Michaels explained.
He batted .306 last year and
Luke Applng's .301 was the only
other White Sox mark above 300
Michaels' name was mentioned
frequently in the winter trading
season and Detroit made a couple
of tries at grabbing him before

problem but he has a second one

unable to break into pro ball

sWhen I found I could not play
good enough baseball to make q

for me to do was to don mask
and become an umpire and that's
what did, he said.
Jones was known in the Amer

and ruddy complexion.
He said he would miss the hus-
tie OF spring training camps and
the regular baseball season, but
added: III be in the stands

Then he smiled and said: How
