Get Al Steers
Before Jan. |
Says Ag. Agent

Any boy or girl IN Madison
County who is planning to feed
out" a steer in All club work for
next year should be sure to have
their animal before January /,
1853, according to Robert L. Eby,
Associate Agriculture Agent. Now
is a good time to buy the feeder
steers and get him started on
feed. Some steers may be little
stubborn" when you try to get
them to eat again, so it might
take a week or SO to get them
underway.
Most members will want to start
now with a steer weighing around
1000 pounds at fair time.
Any boy or girl wanting help in
securing steer for a project
should contact the Agricultural
Extension Office or the All ad-
visor in their community.

Smoke DAMAGE
Heavy When
Kitchen Burns

A stubborn fire at the home of
Mrs. James A. Smith, North Main
Street, caused a great deal of
smoke damage when plastic tile
and linoleum in the kitchen burn
ed Friday, October 81, firemen
said.
While the blaze was Slight, vol
unteers from the London Fire De-
partment used oxygen masks to
enter the house. The fire was con-
fined to the kitchen and was be-
lieved to have been caused by a
short circuit, Chief Dilwyn An
drews said.
At first it was thought that a
guest at the Smith home was
trapped in the smoke filled house
but quick work by the firemen
disclosed that the guest had left
the house.
Two trucks were used to fight
the fire and smoke damage was
estimated at over a thousand dol
lars.

AIva Belts Is
Critically Hurt In
Freak Accident

Alva Belts, 81, a tenant far
mer on the Mrs. Downing Beach
farm, Route 142, was critically
injured in a freak accident while
picking corn Friday morning Oct.
81.
Belts had stopped his tractor to
inspect the corn-picker and as he
leaned over the machine, he be-
came entangled on the drive
shaft, it was believed.
Deputy Robert Allison, who
rushed to the scene, said that Bet
tbs had apparently become en-
tangled in the drive shaft on the
power take-off. Allison said that
grease receptacle on the shaft
had probably caught on Belts
clothes and had pulled him around
the shaft. Belts clothes were COM
pletely torn off and he was terrib-
ly injured. Belts was emasculated,
it was said.
The only witness to the accident
was Bettis's son, Edward, 16-
years old, who saw the accident
and ran to switch off the motor
He then unhitched the tractor and
went for help. Almost as minutes
elapsed before an ambulance could
be summoned to the scene.
Belts was given first aid by
DR.. William Hurt, West jefferson
and the Lukens ambulance took
Belts to Mt. Carmel hospital.
Hospital attaches said his con-
dition was critical.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Flat
predictions of overwhelming vic
tory Tuesday came from both Re-
publican and Democratic camps.
But three of the nations top
poll takers refrained from making
any exact forecast. Their election
eve analyses were cautiously in
clined to put Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, the COP presidential candi-
date, ahead of Gov. Adlai Steven
son, the Democratic nominee.
The Gallup Poll, the Roper Poll
and the Crossley. Poll all pointed
to an acceleration of a trend to-
ward Stevenson in the final weeks.
They emphasized that the 'unde-
cided" vote could make the whole
election tossup.

REMEDY
Looking for a good remedy
for hydrophobia?
Here's one written by Scio-
to County physician, back in
July, 1918. 1t reads as follows:
Cure for Hydrophobia-1t
can be had at any apothecary
shop and consists of 18 grains
musk, Is grains calomel, 16
grains nitre and IL grains ver-
million or cinabad. To be taken
in wine glass full of brandy or
alcohol a little diluted. The
patient to be bled Immediately
before taking it and to have
a dose of salts "a hours after.
This is for adults. For children
a smaller dose will be neces-
sary. For cattle and horses, a
potion three times as great:
This is called Dugan's cure
and has never been known to
fail If taken before the spas
modic paroxym ensues. Proofs
of Its efficiency can be found
in or about Adamsville in Mus
kingum County where it has
been tested"
This formula was brought in
by Oscar Bayhan, Hillsboro
Rt. 3. who said that he found
the paper in his fathers effects
and the prescription was writ
ten by DR.. Jack Bayhan, his
fathers uncle. His father was
the late George Bayhan.

Keeping IN Touch Witb Washington
Congress Wants to Get 1t
!, Over and Go Home

It is betting that farmers will grow
half a billion more bushels of feed
grains this year than they did in
1851.
If it wins, and we get the pro-
duction, the present rate of livestock
production can be maintained for at
least another year. If it loses, espe-
cially by any wide margin of BUSH
els, livestock feeders will be in
real pickle next year.
Farmers, it now appears, will
wind up next Oct with only about
half as much corn in the crib as
they had last Oct l. In the face of
that, we are sending some 100000
600 bushels of corn and other feed
grains overseas this year.
Hog growers already are cutting
back for the spring pig crop, but
cattle feeders reported a surprising
record number in feed lots on Jan.
l. The more than 100000 head on
feed represented an IL percent in
crease over a year ago. Two-thirds
of those were in the corn belt. In
creases outside the corn belt includ-
ed 8 percent in Montana, 20 percent
in North Dakota and 10 percent in
South Dakota.
