Market Terms
Farmers
Weigh Prices

Farmers who first hear oil
changes in livestock marketing
conditions have distinct advan-
tage, says c. w. Hammans, ex-
tension marketing specialist at
Ohio State University.
Livestock market news is an
important tool that the farmer
can use to his advantage, he adds.
This tool can be kept in good
working condition by listening to
radio reports and by reading mar
ket quotations found in news
papers.
Farmers will find that an un-
derstanding of terms most COM
monty used to describe livestock
price trends and price quotations
will aid them in appraising or
judging both current and future
market situations:
Market higher" means that
bulk of sales are measurably
higher.
Market strong" means an up.
ward trend in which some sales
have been at higher prices, but
no advance on bulk of sales.
Market steady" means that
there are no changes in prices
paid from previous day of period.
Market weak" means a down
ward trend in which some sales
have been made at lower prices,
but no decline on bulk of sales.
Market lower" means that
prices for bulk of sales are meas
urably lower as compared with
previous day or period.

the REA, as well as the public and
private power utilities, for their
aggressive efforts to bring the
electrical service to the farm, and
the nearly 100000 farmers who
were quick to take advantage of
the high line hired man."
Since the REA was organized
15 years ago, rural electrification
has grown by leaps and bounds
in Ohio. He points out that in 1885,
only 48,048 Ohio farms, or 1873
percent had central station electric
service. Today 219,227 farms are
energized, with only 1,348 still
waiting for electricity.
First REA loan IN Uf1lu vas ap-
proved in September, 1895, and
the first section of rural line was
energiZed by the Pioneer Rural
Electric Cooperative, Piqua, on
June IS, 1886. There are now 29
REA-flnanced systems operating
in Ohio.
Average consumption per farm
served from REA lines in Ohio has
increased from II kilewatt hours
in December, 1941, to 205 in Dec
ember, 1949.
Director Ferguson says this
indicates the Ohio farmer is every
day discovering new ways to put
electricity to work for him. He
adds that once electricity was
thought of primarily as light in
the home, but today farmers are
using it for power in dozens OF
ways, one of the most important
of which is to operate automatic
water systems.

He said it would be his goal,
Immediately after election, to set
up a long-range highway program,
implemented by an efficient, pro-
fessional staff and with consider
alton given to permanence of ten
ure in the highway department.
Turning to the school situ-
alton, Ebright said the present
governor has taken no steps to
provide even elementary accomo-
dations for the million and half
school children who will be en-
rolled by 1854.
Normal growth and population
shifts, he said, have developed
acute schoolhousing problems
"and as school enrolment moves
to a certain new peak in 1854
those problems will grow more
ACUTE
The security of Ohio families is
also intimately concerned with
the operation of the Department
of Welfare, Ebright observed,
adding that the department "un-
der the present administration is
Shot full of demoralizing party
politics"

Ebright Charges
Dissipation Of
State Revenues

Cleveland, August II - Gov
ernor Lausche was accused to-
night by Don H. Ebright, Re-
publican nominee for governor,
of dissipating the greatest reve-
nues in the states history
through an army of incompetent
political appointees."
Ebright told a tent rally in
Cleveland, opening the Republi-
can state campaign that the gov
ernor has deliberately ignored
the fundamental security require
ments of the citizens of Ohio"
and has been "a careless steward
of the first billion dollar budget
in Ohio history.
He charged the governor with
making political dumping
ground" of the Ohio highway de-
partment and with having "squan-
dered highway revenues on a
costly road system almost wholly
obsolete in an atomic age"
Ebright said it would be his
program to break up the un-
wieldy and inefficient operation
of many departments of state
government, to strip away "the
sham of the governors welfare
propaganda and show it up as a
false front like the Democrats
showed us on the eve" of World
War III.
Ask Question
Asking the question "what do
you think the Democratic leader
ship learned in the last war ?"
Ebright declared he would like
to get the answer from Ohio
boys on the Korean front +.
from Ohio men who fought in the
last war who have just be-
gun to get normal foothold for
themselves and their young chill
dren."
The Democrats did learn, Eb-
right declared, 'hoW to extend
their grip on our national and
state governments until a world
wide crisis has revealed their
hand for what it is"
Ohio under a Democrat COVER
nor, he continued, "has been sad
died with larger-than-average
share of fhairs h,,roa,,o.co@;., lo~as
and, OF course, with the customary
phonies and self-styled liberals"
Ebright said that every contest
won by Republican candidate
knocks off one more cell of the
parasitic growth which the party
of Truman and Lausche has fix
ed upon u.s."
Ebright said his use of the
name of his opponent was not a
slip of the tongue.
