EDUCATION
Youngsters learn many
things not in the textbooks.
Take this one for instance
certain young man was almost
asleep in study hall one after
noon and suddenly sensed that
someone was staring at him.
He opened one eye and saw
the teachers feet. Without so
much as a second thought he
said, Amen" and blithely
opened his book and proceed
ed to study diligently.
LOVE
Il am destitute! I asked my
girl to marry me last night
and she refused" said the
Respondent lover.
Don't worry" said a friend,
Many times when a girl says
no she really means yes"
But my girl didn't say no
she said "phooey!"
INSURANCE
Salesman: Nov that will
amount to premium of 8 dol
lars per month on straight life.
That's what you wanted was
MT it,"
Prospect: Couldn't you
change the policy a little so
that / can play around a little
on Saturday nights ?"
BOOZE
From looking at the Man
of Distinction" whiskey adver-
tisements = it would appear
that gentlemen prefer blends.
THINK
God invented the way to
hold the atom together. Man
has now found a way to take
it apart. Dust thou art and to
dust returneth?
COURT
Man was facing the judge
on a charge of auto theft. The
Judge said that the man could
be tried right then and there
or else be tried by jury.
"You can be tried by IL per-
sons who are your equals"
said the Judge.
Man pondered this and re-
piled, who wants to be tried
by IL automobile thieves 2"
FACT
Head of the American Dairy
Association said recently that
if all dairy farmers would eat
butter instead of oleo - half
of the butter surplus would be
wiped out. Therefore if all
farmers would eat butter
there wouldn't be any surplus!
HuMMN!
Someone has suggested that
the children of today could do
a better job of keeping on the
straight and narrow if they
got their road of life informa-
ton from someone who has
already been over the route.
OUCH
So much is written in mag
azines and periodicals concern
ing babies that nothing is left
unsaid. Take the case which
happened the other day &.
grandma asked little Willie,
We'll, / see the stork brought
you brand new baby sister!"
"Oh no, grandma" said
Willie, "She simply developed
through due processes from a
unicellular amoeba!"
REPORT
AS the 9th grader handed
his report card to his father
he said, Here's my report
card, dad, and I'm getting
tired of Roy Rogers anyway"
EPiTAPH
Here lies a poor woman,
Who always was tired;
She lived in a house,
Where help was not hired;
Her last words on earth were,
Dear friends / am going;
Where washing amt done,
Nor sweeping nor sewing;
But everything there is exact
to my wishes,
For where they don't eat,
There's no washing of dishes;
III be where loud anthems
will always be ringing;
But having no voice, I'll be
clear of the singing;
Don't mourn for me now,
don't mourn for me never,
I'm going to do nothing, for
ever and ever"

ShlSLer Advises Farmer TO
Use Care in Laying Tile

The farmer will save himself
a lot Of future drainage head
aches by laying his tile right
when he first puts it in, accord
ing to Wilbur ShiSler, u. S. Soil
Conservation Service farm plan
ner for the Geauga County Soil
Conservation District.
He may think he saves money
by cutting corners when install
ing his drainage system, Shisler
said. But he soon learns that
what he saves now is lost later,
in wet fields, lower yields,
shorter life, and replacement
costs.
It's often the biggest single
practice investment a farmer
makes" Shisler said. His rate
of return on that investment
will depend on how we'll he sets
it up.
1T will save us headaches,
too" ShiSler said. we have to
check his system when he ap-
plies for financial assistance
from the Agricultural ConSerVa-
ton Program A U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture ruling di-
rects the SCS to check and cert
ify tile drainage systems, and
all other permanent type soil
conservation practices, for
which the farmer asks ACP fl.
nancial aid.
Such work must meet specifi,
cations before it can be approx,
ed for ACP payments.
I'VE are not allowed to put
our OK on inadequate or poorly
laid tiling. We must check it to
see that the farmer, as well as
the government, receives a re,
turn on his investment in good
farming through improved
yields and improved soil"
The new system Of SCS ACP
cooperation has been in effect
only relatively short time, and
some farmers have gone so far
as to backfill tile bitches before
calling the SCS office for check.
ing the job. This required d

fields to determine grade, depth

Shisler said. When we could

you can see the situation it puts
US in - and the farmer, too.
he said. If he lets us know
ahead of Sine, it's a simple jot
10 catch, and correct, any mis-
takes that may occur. Other
wise, we can't guarantee {
thing"
Shisler said the biggest prob
lens in the district concerning
tile are: getting them deer
enough, and providing adequate
outlets. Ali tile should be be
low the frost line. not just deer
enough to avoid striking then
with the plows. A good mini
mum is "a inches of cover which
means digging of a trench abou
80" deep for A tile. Farmer
should bear in mind that til,
draw literally at an angle from
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1953-03-26

the tile to the ground surface on
each side of the tile. By draw
ing a rough sketch of this prime
iple makes it obvious that the
deeper the tile the farther they
draw on either side"
A tile system can be no bet
ter than its outlet. A good out
let is one which has a foot or
more of clearance between the
bottom of the tile and the bot
tom of the outlet ditch. Tile
with such outlet will stay open
indefinitely and work with max
imum drainage. No surface wa
ter should flow over the end of
tile into the outlet ditch unless
a permanent structure be pro-
vided. This will keep the. end
tile in place. Better yet, use a
section of iron pipe, IL feet or
more in length, instead of tile
at the outlet end.
Naturally, these extra provis-
ions cost cash outlay, but they
should be considered a part of
the tile system. BY including
these provisions the system will
last much longer, perhaps twice
as long or longer, and all the
while be providing the farmer
better drainage. BY spreading
the cost of good tile job over
the period of years it functions
we'll as compared to a less good
job which won't last as long, the
cost per year for the good job
is usually much lower.
Many other things may influ
ence how good a tile system you
get and the cost of the installa-
ton. Your county Soil Conserv-
alton District Office at Burton
may be able to help you get a
better system.
Many times tiles are installed
in clay soils where surface
drainage would provide just as
effective drainage at much low
er cost to farmers.

NEW YORK, MAR. II -
Savings were at a high level in

The findings, a barometer of

port just released by the Fed

bank deposits in every county
in the United States as of the
end of the last fiscal year.
Deposits in Geauga county
