County Share In
Postal Deficit
Figured $4,000

WASHINGTON Especially -
For taxpayers of Madison County
the $558, 100000 deficit Of the
Post Office Department in the
Federal fiscal year which ended
June 80 will mean approximately
$88,0O000 in terms of general
Federal taxes, according to a.
study released here today. by the
Council of State Chambers Of
Commerce.
The study explained that this
figure is Madison County's pro-
portion of Ohio's share of the
overall loss sustained by taxpay-
ers through the failure of the
Federal Government to run Post
Office within its income.
The Councils study showed
that except for few scattered
years the Post Office has been
doing business at loss for 60
years. Since the end of World
War II these losses were found
to toal 81. 1884, ,299 which means
roughly an extra tax of S12 for
every man, woman and child in
the United States.
Support for an effort in Con-
gress to cut 02S, O7, 900 off the
$555 100000 postal deficit ex-
pected this year was urged in the
study. It recalled that in expecta-.
tion of this cut Postmaster Gen.
eral Donaldson in April ordered
such economies as reduction
from two to one in the number
of mail deliveries daily in resi-,
dental areas, and fewer mail
box collections. But the. House of
Representatives recently voted
against these economics. Whether
they will stick remains up to the
Senate.
In addition to this 28- million
dollar saving, the study urged
the Hoover Commission recon-
mendations for putting the Post
Office on q business-like basis
be carried out.
Finding the Post Office and the
Bell Telephone System compar-
able in size, number of employees
and the nature Of their services
(communications); the study OBJ
served that the private enterprise
operated at a profit and paid
Federal. State and local. taxes
last year totaling $34d. Ia, 600. It
also pointed out that the Bell
System acted as taxgatherer for
the Government, collecting from
subscribers and other users $445,-
100000 last year in Federal ex-
else on telephone calls.

Oct. lily Free
Date For Wheat

The fly free date for seeding
wheat in Madison County is Oct
]. There was more broken stalks
in wheat fields during the past
year due to increase in Russian
fly infestation, according to John
Moore, County Agent. 1t is to the
interest of all farmers concerned
to hold up seeding wheat until
after the fly free date, which
is October /.
Another practice that will take
a little time now but may pay
off in big way next year at
harvest time is treating your seed
wheat before seeding. Treating
seed keeps smut out of the wheat.
Most elevators are equipped to
treat wheat or it can be done on
the farm by the use of Ceresan
M. This chemical is an improved
formulation of New Improved
Ceresan.
In treating seed wheat for bunt
or sinking smut to get best re-
suits Ceresan M can be applied
either as a dry dust or as a
slurry. Slurry treatment has two
distinct advantages over the dry
treatment. 1t provides more
thorough coverage of the seed
and the health hazard of breath
ing the dust is eliminated. Indivi-
dual farmers will probably use
the dust method where they can
spread the wheat out on the barn
floor three or four bushels at a
time, and use the dry Ceresan
dust. distributing it over the grain
at the rate of " ounce per bushel.
Then thoroughly mix. by turn
ing it several times with a shovel.
The chemical recommended is
poisonous to man. precaution is
the use of the inexpensive dust
mask.
