Land Prices Are
Influenced By
Use Of Credit

Land prices, like the prices of
commodities in general, are es-
tablished by some kind of bar
gaining process between buyers
and sellers. In the case of land,
the experience of the past nine
years indicate that the credit
policy of lenders also has had
something to do with the price
of land, according to H. r. Moore,
of the Department of Agricultural
Economics and Rural Sociology at
the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station.
During the period of 1S41-1948
most sources of farm mortgage
credit observed relatively liberal
loan policy. During this period, ac-
cording to a sample study, the
average price of mortgage-fin-
anced purchases was consistently
higher than in all-cash transact
ions. In contrast, continues Moore,
during 1949 the average price of
mortgage-financed purchases was
little less than in all-cash trans
actions.
The difference in price could be
fully accounted for by the fact
that the average amount loaned
in 1949 was six dollars per acre
less than in 1948. Buyers using
mortgage credit advanced the
same average amount per acre Of
their own money in each of the
two years. These circumstances
suggest that loan policy may be
an important influence in deter
mining the level of land prices.

In all parts of Ohio, wheat was
killed or injured in low areas
of fields where water lay for any
appreciable time. Some indivi-
dual farms suffered severely, but
taking the State as a whole, con-
cludes the agronomist, the damage

ITCHY PIGS RUB OFF
PROFITS IN SPRING

Itchy pigs rub off the profits,
says H. M. Barnes, extension swine
Specialist at Ohio State University.
He suggests that Ohio hogs pro-
ducers spray or brush hogs with
oil to control lice, and spray with
benzene hexachloride or chlor-
done if mango is present.
Because adult hogs can trans
NIT mango to the spring pig crop,
Barnes advises early treatment of
the breeding stock. Complete con-
troll of lice and mango is depen-
dent, however, upon good sani-
tation around the hog house and
lots, as well as by careful spray
ing.

The high-ranking university Of

According to the announcement
Assistant Provost John U. Monro

dent needs for financial aid and
make a systematic attempt to
provide jobs for athletes that
would not conflict with practice
sessions in the various sports.
Athletes will be treated like all
students, but we realize they have
the peculiar problem of not being
able to work full time during the
time they are competing in ath-
letics," Buck explained.

Beshore's S Manager
Suspicious as Charles
Postpones Scrap
BY the Associated Press

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 25.-Ths
air was charged and counter
charged today as Ezzard Charles
retired in the direction of Gin
cinnati to rest up from a sore side.
The National Boxing Associa-
ton heavyweight champion came
up with his ache last night. just
four days before he was to place
his crown on the line for the
benefit of Freddie Beshore. The
bout has been postponed.
Anguished screams arising from
the Beshore camp would have one
believe that Ezzard would like
just little more time to get ready
for Beshore, the Harrisburg, Pa,
body -puncher.
Varsity screamer for Beshore
was Ralph Gold, under whose
management Freddie fights. Gold
figured Charles pain must have
come out of the blue"
Gold is Suspicious.
I'm my opinion" said Gold, 'he
didn't think he was in good
enough shape for my boy"
= But Jake Mintz, Ezzard's man
ager. declared Charles was in
jured during a workout Thursday
with Sparring mate JEFF Clanton.
He got lump on a rib. said
Jake, but should be able to face
the 15-round bout with Beshore
about April 5.
This is happy coincidence.
April 5 is the date that the Fair
view Athletic Club would like to
stage the fight.
Mintz, Gold and Dewey Mich
aels, promoter for Fairview, will
thrash out the details some time
today.
Eagan Won't Comment.
Fairview had sold about S20, 900
worth of tickets for Tuesday
nights fight. Memorial Audi
torium was scaled to gross $87, 900,
with Charles down for a 371a per
cent cut and Beshore for 17h.
In New York City, Commission
Chairman Eddie Eagan. declined
to comment on the postponement
pending receipt of the commits
sion doctors report.
DR.. Louis A. Kaiser examined
Charles shortly after the champ
first complained of a pain in his
left arm yesterday afternoon. He
said Charles might have suffered
a cartilage separation or a crack
at the base of the eighth rib.

the injury awaits examination Of

Young Gains Revenge
In Convincing Style
Against Portuguez
By the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Paddy
Young finally has his revenge over
Tuzo Portuguez of Costa Rica.
BY winning unanimous To-
round decision last night at Madi-
son Square Garden Young squared
his record with the aggressive
Costa Rican.
Paddy knew he could do it all
the time. He raved and tried to
shove away Referee Eddie Joseph
January 13 when they stopped
his first fight with Tuzo because
of a severe left eye cut.
Young pointed to the cards of
the officials that showed he was
out front. He also called atten-
ton to cuts over Tuzo's eyes. 1t
didn't make any difference. The
decision stood.
The young bulldog from New
York's Greenwich Village accepted
rematch as soon as the Inter
national Boxing Club offered.
Portuguez ended his 12-fght win
streak and halted his march to-
ward the top of the middleweight
class. He wanted to get even.
There was no question about the
second fight. Young won it going
away on the cards of all three
officials. The goods sized crowd OF
1865 that paid $43,828 agreed.
One judge, Joe Angelic. had it
a lopsided 81. Judge Jack O'Sul-
livan saw it 8-1-1 and Referee
Ruby Goldstein had it 7-2-1. The
AP card agreed with O'Sullivan.
Nobody was knocked off his feet
in the slugfest. Tuzo was stag
gered twice and a right to the pit
of the stomach had Young in
trouble in the third. That was
Portuguez's best punch of the
night but it came in the wrong
round. Referee Goldstein took
that round away from him for
hitting low three or four times.
Portuguez has wide cash over
his left eye and Paddy had a cash
on the bridge of his nose. They
were two wen-battered boys at the
finish.
March 81 is the only open Gar
den date at the present. There
are no immediate plans for either
boy.
