that you are paying off a mortgage
almost half the homes in Florida
are not paid for.

winters have been noticeable and
encouraging.
Besides spreading manure mech
anically, we have also obtained more
equal manure distribution by fenc-
ing our cattle out of brush spots and
creek bottoms. The cattle aren't
bothered by flies if kept sprayed.
And they don't seem to suffer much
from the heat and cold-at least not
as much as the grass suffers from
lack of fertility.
To what extent fertility on the
range can be profitably increased
remains to be seen. Certainly it can
be to some extent. But fertilization
should be considered as a supple
ment to good range management,
because increased fertility would be
of little value unless the grass is
given chance to grow.

Rangeland Fertility
Fertilizimg Grazing Lands
May Mean Better Grass
By ARTHUR MILES, Park County

SOIL FERTILITY is problem
usually applied to cultivated land,
not grazing land. The higher yields
obtained from cultivated crops mean
more fertility removed from the soil,
while grazing takes relatively little
fertility and returns some in the form
of manure.
Yet, grazing does deplete range
land fertility even though good
range management practices are fol-
lowed, and we think it important to
do something about it.
Native range plants reach an ulti-
mate or climax type under condi-
tons that favor accumulation of or
ganic matter in the soil. Nitrates and
phosphates, in turn, accumulate in
the organic matter. This high level
of fertility means a strong grass
growth which prevents the invasion
of weedtype plants such as sage
brush, cheatgrass, snakeweed, cactus
and others.
Then, with consistent range use,
the process is reversed. Removing
the grass through grazing utilities
the nitrates and phosphates and de-
creases the volume of organic matter
in the soil. And organic matter is
vital to range grass production. 1t
keeps the soil open and porous, al
lowing for water absorption and
root penetration, and it increases the
water-holding capacity of the soil,
making more water available to the
grass.
In our efforts to increase range
fertility, we conserve and spread
manure, encourage growth of le-
gumes to add nitrates, and apply
phosphates to the range. The last is
important. Most range is deficient
in nitrates. If they are added, as
through legumes and manures, the
need for phosphates becomes acute
and additional phosphate must be
applied. Our aim in supplying phos-
pilates is to balance the soil fertility
encourage the growth of legumes anc
increase the amount of phosphate in
the forage.
Last fall we spread some compost
piled dirt and manure-on the
west slopes of our winter sheer
range. With each load, we spread 2(
pounds of 43 percent phosphate. We
have also spread considerable phos
phate at a 50-pound-per-acre rate
on reseeded and renovated range
areas that have a substantial stanc
of legumes.
The benefits of accumulated fer
tility on the range areas where sheel
have been fed alfalfa the past 81,

Germons First Limited Christmas Tree Here

German immigrants, homesick for the, traditions of their native land, were the first to decorate Christmas trees in their homes in the United States. according to tradition.
 Historians believe it was about the end of the Revolution that the practice began to grow in the colonies.
 Before that the Pilgrims forbade Christmas celebrations on the grounds they were pagan. And a Massachusetts law in 1889 sub- jected anyone to a fine who ob- served the day by feasting, re- training from work or in any other manner.
 Historians also believe that Mar tin Luther was the first to deco rate and light tree. He was fas- cinated by evergreen trees, glis- tening with starlit-snow, pointing to the heavens at Christmas time. So he brought an evergreen into his house and lighted it with can dies for his children.

Dr. Clement Moore Was Ashamed of
 His Famous Poem

pr. Clement Clarke Moore was ashamed of his famous poem. Night Before Christmas" and would not acknowledge that he wrote it for more than 20 years.
 Today, the poem which begins
 Twas tbe nigbt before Cbrisfmas, Uben all tbroHgb toe boHse
 Not creature tCas stirring, a0t even q fp0HSe;-
 is one of the most beloved of all Christmas writings.
 Dr. Moore was an aloof profes- sor of Greek and Oriental litera- ture in the Episcopal Seminary in New York. He wrote the poem on Christmas Eve 1922 and read it to his seven children.
 He had not planned for the poem to go further than his own family, but a relative who was visiting the Moores. put copy in her diary. The next year the relatives father sent it to newspaper.
 Other newspapers printed the jingles and they quickly became known all over the country. The dignified Dr. Moore was embar- rassed and considered it beneath man of his scholastic standing to be the author of children's jingles.
 Twenty-two years later, how ever, he finally publicly admitted authorship of the jingles and it was published in book form under his name for the first time.

Small Tol.'E,s First to Light Outdoor Trees

It was a small town that first thought of lighting an outdoor com munity Christmas tree.
 Four communities are believed to have thought of the idea about the same time-as early as 1913 Two of them, Mcdonald and Ger mantown, were in Pennsylvania Salem, Ore, decorated a large Sitka spruce. Riverside, Calif., illuminated large evergreen, an Aracuria.
 The first national Christmas tree was in 1924 and was sponsored by the American Forestry associa- tion. The event is now televised every year for all parts of the country to see.
 The most spectacular outdoor displays in the United States are at the White House and Rocke- feller Center in New York. The New York display is possibly the most elaborate in the world.
 But 1t was the small towns that first thought of the idea.
 Today, nearly every community In the land has some kind of Christmas decorations. Many con- munities string colored lights across the street and decorate light posts with evergreens. Many suspend bells and stars at street intersections and have dazzling community trees.

Christmos Today
 Is Too Commercial, Mony People Believe

Today we hear many people say that Christmas has been com nercialized'' and has lost its true meaning. Has it? Is it wrong this one time in the year to mak the dominate theme one of giving. rather than re- . ceiving?
 Giving has always been major part of the Christmas theme-the giving of joy and happiness to oth- CTS whether it be spiritual or material
 It is true that economically no other holiday or festive season contributes so much to the wei fare of the world The holiday has hardly passed into the new year before thousands are at work on toys and Christmas specialties for the next year.
 Giving will remain one of the great joys of Christmas for all time to come. The idea has sur vived through the centuries and nothing will ever stop it.
 What. after all. brings more joy than seeing people happy; than watching children and loved ones open gifts and express their thanks in words and deeds?
 It is, essentially, the Christmas story.

Moke Gifts Attractive

Make your Christmas package attractive because half of the pleasure of the gift is the wrap ping and opening a beautiful pack age. Use plenty of ribbon and gay colored paper. Add bells and Christmas ornaments to the bows. Tie ribbon about the corners and put the bows off-center to make the packages distinctive. A lit- tie disgusting by putting small boxes in larger ones before wrap ping adds to the mystery Of the gift.

March OF Dimes
Campaign Opens
In County Jan. |
Morrison Case Has
Cost Committee
Almost $5,OOO.OO

The annual March of Dimes
campaign in Noble county will
begin January 1st and continue
thru the month, according to an
announcement made today by
Fred F. Fox, county chairman.
Fox will be assisted this year
by Robert A. Dennison, who will
serve as fund chairman for Cald-
well. Fox will be in charge of
the rural areas.
In the larger communities, a
porch light campaign is being
planned for one hour on Jan. 20
from ZOO to 500 p. m.
Workers who will assist in the
March of Dimes should pick up
their supplies at the office of
Attorney Fox on North street.
Atty. Fox pointed out that
Noble county has not had a polio
case in two years. 1t will be re-
membered that Dana Morrison
of Harriettsville was stricken al
that time.
For the past two years he has
been receiving treatment at the
Children's hospital, Columbus
Gsate in October, be was released
TO the home of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Morrison.
Fox estimated that the Nor.
rison case alone has cost the
March of Dimes committee about
$4,000. They are approximately
$1,000 in "the red as they open
the current campaign.
1t is expected that during. the
month of January, Noble Coun-
tians will give generously to this
cause, since they were one of two
counties in the state without a
single new case the past two
years.
The March of Dimes containers
will be placed in the business
places as quickly as they are re-
ceived from state headquarters.

New Water Line
Laid In Village
Local Residents
Without Water

Most residents of Caldwell
were without water Monday
while the water main was con-
nccted on the west side of Cald-
we'll.
The Laughlin EXcavating Co.
of Canton has the contract for
the laying of the new water line.
The new branch begins near
Young street, crosses U. S. Rt.
Il on Miller street, then goes
under the Pennsylvania railroad,
where it is directed south on
Railroad street until it joins the
main on North street With the
exception of the eight inch pipe
laid on Railroad street, the water
main is OF new ten inch pipe.
The new water main replaces
the old line that routed directly
down North street. The old line
was buried "a to 25 feet at each
side of the North street bridge.
Work on the project was be-
gun by the contractors a month
ago and Mayor Homer Johnson
stated today that he expects the
work to be completed this week.
Tuesday, the downtown Sec
ton had water but residents of
Playground road, a part of North
street and Bronze Heights were
shut off while the cutting in"
