Asks Double Rate
On Class IL Mail

WASHINGTON, -(AP)-Presi-
dent Truman has asked congress
to double postal rates on second
class mail and increase from one
to two cents the cost of carrying
a postal card.
These were among the recon-
mendations Mr.. Truman made in
a message aimed at wiping out
"the bulk Of the present postal
deficit, which should not be borne
by the general taxpayer" EIe list
ed among his recommendations
for eliminating the bulk of the
deficit:
l. Raising the cost of postal
cards from one to two cents and
leaving first class mail rates un-
changed.
2. On Second-class mail rates:
eff these rates are doubled -
which is the least that should be
done" the general taxpayer would
still be "subsidizing second class
mail to the extent Of more than go
per cent of its postal cost.
Second class mail covers news
papers and magazines Mr.. Tru-
man said excessive subsidies for
newspapers and magazines are
not only wrong, they are seriously
inequitable." J"

Ceresan For Oat
Seed Is Popular

Most Madison County farmers
will be treating their seed oats
before planting with new improv-
ed Ceresan, or Ceresan M, John
Moore, County Agricultural Agent
reported Friday.
This is a popular practice and
insures better stands, quality and
yield by preventing seed decay,
root rots, seeding blights, and
both loose and covered shuts of
oats. The seed decay, root rots,
and Seeding blights are often
either overlooked or thought to be
the result of poor seed.
One half ounce to each bushel
of grain of the new improved
Ceresan or Ceresan NJ must be
mixed thoroughly with the dry
grain so as to cover every ker-
mel with a film of dust. The seed
can be treated with commercial
seed treating machinery found at
many grain elevators and seed
houses, or the material may be
applied in a rotating barrel, or
other container mounted on di-
agonal axle and fitted with a
crank for turning.
The following procedure should
be followed: have the seed clean
ed, measure out 12 ounce of chem
ical to each bushel, never use
more or less than the amount
prescribed. The common table
spoon holds approximately Il
ounce if the dust is slightly heap
ed or rounded. Mix thoroughly as
indicated above. Then place the
treated grain in porous bags or
leave it in an uncovered pile for
at least "a hours.
Place it where neither children
or livestock can get it. Label
conspicuously: POISONOUS!
TREATED SEED" PRECAU-
TIONS: Since these chemicals
are poisonous, they should be
handled with care. No accidents
in their use in Ohio have ever
come to attention, according to
Mr.. Moore, and probably none
will occur, but the work should
be done in the open air, or at
least in a well ventilated place.
DO NOT BREATH EITHER THE
DUST FUMES, OR THE VAPOR.
If some of the chemicals should
be swallowed, take powdered
charcoal at one, or take as much
white Of raw eggs. or milk, or
flour, in water as can be sWal-
lowed. Induce vomiting by drink
ing a mixture of salt, or soap, or
mustard in warm water. Call
a doctor at once.
Farmers will also be interested
in band seeding their legumes
when they seed their oats this
spring, according to Mr.. Moore.
Several farmers band seeded
their legumes by using garden
hose as extensions for their le-
gume spouts, SO that the legume
fell in a band over the covered

Soil Reported

The Soil and Crop Improvement
program in Madison County dur
ing the past year was reported at
a meeting of the Agronomy Com
mittee and the Soil Conservation
Supervisors of Madison County,
Friday February %, according to
John Moore, County Agricultural
Agent.
Bill Folsom of Mt. Sterling, re-
ported on the Nitrogen plow down
for corn in which 20 farmers CO.
operated. Mr.. Folsom's results
were as follows: with $50 ID. of
201a% Nitrogen plow down, plus
300 Id. of 3-12-12 in row, yielded
"a bushel and his protein analysis
of the corn was $3.50. His check
plot where only the row appli-
cation was made, yielded rs BUSH
el per acre, with a protein analy-
sis of $50.
Other farmers reporting, rang
ed from an increase Of 3 to IL
bushel. Other reports given were
on side dressing for corn, TOP
dressing of spring wheat, with
300 Id. of 8-16-16, top dressing ol
wheat with 20ae Nitrogen.
All top dressing plots showed
an increase of from 4 to z bushel
of wheat and where the 8-16-1e
fertilizer was applied the clover
stand was improved. A report was
made by Henry Troyer, Plain
City, on the value of the new
method Of band seeding legumes
with cats. Mr.. Troyer fixed half
Of his drill with a rubber hose
to band seed legumes in oats,
The other half of his drill was
fixed to broadcast the legume
seed. He reported the only mis-
take he made was that he didn't
fix his entire drill to band seed
Other plot work reported on was
the Rock Phosphate VS. Super
Phosphate VS. 0-12-12 on wheat.
The hot weather legume seed
ings in permanent pasture, spittel
bug control, the application OF
borax on alfalfa, the hybrid seed

ported. v. Y. Overturf from Som

The federation said it believed
food price increases come from
greater demand, mars-ups by
middle-men. and wage increases
which have upped processing
costs.
