The Journal
Caldwell, Ohio
In the Journal Mail Bag of last
weeks Journal, dated February
8, 1851 a writer has caused a
piece to be published, concerning
the management of the Noble
County Home for a profit.
AS | understand his writing,
he was figuring farm of 30S
acres, all of which was usuable
land. think that 208 acres would
be a more correct figure. The
writer speaks about sheep. | will
say that sheep running on this
deficient land, mentioned here,
would have altered the picture.
All sheep formerly pastured on
the land at the county home
were sold before I came here.
l am not telling the commits
sioners what to do about selling
the County Home Farm but |
heartily agree with what the
writer said about the money
being spent and having nothing
left.
- | have farmed for as years and
l Fundamentally thought I was
doing as we'll as the average per-
son had done, considering what
l had to work with and to pro-
duce money from.

Touching further on soil and
water conservation progress
and interest in relation to the
world as a whole, the report
said:
Interest in the soil con-
servation work of the Service
continued throughout the world.
This was shown not only by the
great volume of mail inquiries
received from many countries
for information and advice but
also by the large number of tech
nical and administrative visitors
that came to the United States
to see and learn our methods of
soil and water conservation
More countries than ever before
sent representatives for short or
long study and training periods
with us Interest through
out the Far East and the Near
East did not by any means slack
en- despie the many critical in

bers Of the committee are agreed

Three proposals are before the
committee:
l. The administration bill to give
the federal government dominion
and control over oil-ricb offshore
areas.
2. A bill to give the states con
