is using mostly Holstein cattle for
his dairy business, and has Hamp-
shire hogs in his feeding lot.
While the DeVitts are relatively
new farmers in this area, farming
is not new to them. Prior to set
Ting at their present location they
lived in Illinois where they farmed
800 acres of land.
"Most of my interest at that
time was with feeder stock" he
said. "We used to raise some 400
hogs each year, and annually fed
out $50 head of cattle"
eve decided to start farming on
a smaller scale because my son
went into the army and was no
longer home to help me, and of
course as the years creep up, we
all have to cut down somewhere. I"
MIR. Dewitt was born in Morgan
county in 1898 and moved to Co
lumbus when he was nine years
old. In 1908 he moved to Illinois
where he began his farming ca
reer.
When asked if farming in this
part of the country is any different
than farming in Illinois, he
laughed and said, "Well, farm
land out there is worth about 5000
an acre. You have to learn how to
be a good farmer quick at those
prices"
The DeVitts have four children,
Lola, Marie, Ruth and William,
all away from home. Their son,
William, is now serving with the
armed forces in Alaska, and is also
a veteran of World War II.
Mrs. Dewitt helps her husband
in many ways around the farm.
They both attend the Presbyterian
church in Marysville and are men,
bers of Farm Bureau council.

Crime In Prague
LeqoI In Sweden

The trial and sentencing in
Prague of William Oats, Associat-
ed Press correspondent, is the
subject of many bitter comments
in the Swedish press. MOrgOn-Tid-
ningen, chief Labor organ, re-
marks ironically that Oats un-
doubtedly is guilty of espionage
in Czechoslovakia, adding that in
the United States or in Sweden
his activity would, of course, be
regarded as the legitimate filing
of news dispatches. Contrary to
the Stockholm correspondent of
the Soviet Tass bureau, Oats on
the whole seems to have cabled
only straight news. What is pub
lished in the Russian press and
said in the Swedish-language
broadcasts from Moscow, MOrgOn-
