merry County, is the biggest user
of well water in Ohio. Industries
there pump SO million gallons a
day and the city waterworks
more than 40 million gallons
more.
Stark County, including Can
ton and Massillon, is the next big
gest pumper, with nearly so mil
lion gallons a day for industry
and 20 million gallons for city
use. Butler County is third, with
a total of nearly so million gal
Ions. Hamilton County, princip-
ally the Mill Creek Valley at Gin
cinnati is fourth with about as
million. Industries at Columbus,
Akron, and Chillicothe follow
with 25 to 30 million gallons each.
Those seven areas pump two
thirds Of Ohio's industrial water.
Only one of them, the Mill Creek
Valley area, is actually dry, with
more demand and more pumpage
than Nature supplies.
"One reason rain falling on
unfrozen ground in winter is
most effective in restoring well
levels" stated Bernhagen, is
that vegetation is not growing at
that time. Growing plants use up
or transpire huge quantities of
water"

JANUARY RAIN BUILDS UP OHIO
WATER SUPPLY FOR next JULY

Rain in January is a good omen
of a high water table for Ohio
next July. So reports the Water
Division of the Ohio Department
of Natural Resources, the state
agency that keeps the inventory
of water supplies for Ohio cities,
farm, and industries.
Well water is of particular val
ue in many industries because it
is clear and cold. Ohio uses a
lot of it, more than half a billion
every day in the year, enough to
make a solid train of tank cars
all the way from New York to
San Francisco and back again
to Omaha.
The Water Division recently is
sued aebulletin reporting industri-
al pumpage of underground water
in 81 of Ohios SO counties. These
counties are the only ones in
which, there is much pumpage.
The study was made by Ralph j.
Bernhagon, water geologist.
Winter rain falling on unfroZ-
en- ground, as in the wet week
following New Years Day, does
the most good to our underground
supplies" stated Bernhagen. 1T
came after two dry months, SO
the underground reservoirs were
particularly receptive. The fact
that so much of the water soak
ed in helped prevent some food
damage"
Industries in Ohio use an aver
age of 385 million gallons Of un-
redground water a day Paper
manufacture takes the most, fol
lowed by steel, and then medal
products, rubber, and chemicals.
These industries were about two
thirds of the industrial ground
water pumped in Ohio.
Making ton of highly finish
ed steel takes from 80 TO $50
tons of cooling water. Fortunat-
ely, the water can be used again.
Air conditioning has been criti-
cized as watsing water. Actually,
according to Bernhagen it is less
than 2 per cent of the total, and
wells pumped only in summer
generally build up during the
winter.
Underground water pumped by
Ohio cities adds another 135 mil
lion gallons day to the draft on
the supplies. Ohio farmers pump
an additional estimated so mil
lion gallons.
Despite this huge pumpage
Bernhagen asserts that Ohio wells
are not running dry, Instead, he
states, There are vast areas in
Ohio where additional ground
water is available for develop
ment. Only locally, in certain in
dustrial areas, have ground
water levels been lowered exces-
sively, primarily because of exces-
sive pumpage. No matter how
much rain falls, however, there
are bound to be shortages ir
some rural areas because the To-
cal geology is not favorable tc
water shortage.

Spoil Banks
Are Reclaimed

A recent survey of lands in
Ohio which has been graded under
a state program of reclaiming
spoil banks shows that 81 oper-
ators have reclaimed total of
LOIS acres, reports O. ID. Dill
Ter, chairman of the forestry de-
partment at the Ohio Agriculture
Experiment Station.
Of this total, 814 acres were
planted to trees, 120 acres to
grasses and legumes, and the
remainder to miscellaneous crops.
There appears to be a strong
trend toward the planting of
grasses and legumes on the lime
stone spoils, continues Diller.
More than 40as of the strip-min-
ed areas in Ohio is of limestone
origin, so it is evident that agro-
nomy and horticulture will pay
an important part in the reclaim
alton of this land. The more acid
areas are, in general, best suited
to forestry.
Field inspection has shown that
those areas which are graded dur
ing the summer months are sown
to "a cover crop, such as wheat or
rye, showed scarcely any erosion,
yyhilp, fhnca arpnc which aro
graded too late to get a winter
cover crop established showed
severe erosion.
Another bad effect of winter
and early spring grading has
been the increased surface COM
FACTION resulting from heavy ma
chinery running over wet mater
ial, Diller concludes.

totaled $22.64O, 1853. Breaking it
down further this property was
distributed at the rate of S32, ,343
dollars per day based on five
day week.
I'VE disposed OF these items
through our warehouse at the
Ohio State Fairgrounds at an ap-
proximate overall carrying charge
of three percent, continued DIR.
Hissong. Furthermore that three
per cent represents personnel,
warehousing, packing, transport
alton and all the other details in
