Closing all Madison County
schools and with great damage to
telephone and electric wires, trees
and shrubs, Old Man Winter
struck London and Madison county
with a vengeance Thursday. HaZ-
ardous road conditions virtually
stopped auto travel throughout the
state and trains proceeded cautious
ly. State patrolmen were out in
all sections to aid in emergencies.
No planes were aloft.
In London many huge branches,
which had been torn from trees by
sleet, lay across streets. A number
of automobiles were damaged as
limbs fell on them. Electric serv-
ice was temporarily interrupted in
several sections as wire fell from
the weight of the sleet. Telephone
service in the county was being
feverishly resumed after many
lines were damaged.
G. j. Eichman, wire chief for the
local branch of Ohio Bell said
that heavy damage was evident
over the county. He and his crew

storm continued.
Sum m r-like tightening and
thunder were heard throughout the

The weatherman saw no immed-
late relief as predictions for Fri

If it goes down, it will be snow :.
but if it stays at 80, it will bring

100 Brave Ice To
Attend Banquet
Group Hears O.S.U.
Professor Speak

Over 100 people 'braved" the
icy roads Wednesday evening to
attend the Dairy Banquet and An
nual Meeting OF the Madison Coun-
ty Dairy Service Unit, at the Meth
odist Church here, according to
Robert Eby, Associate County
Agent. Those in attendance in
cluded members of the dairy SER
vice unit and their families, All
and FLA. members, their parents
and friends.
The main speaker for the eve-
nings program was DR.. Fordyce
Ely, Chairman of the Department
of Dairy Husbandry at Ohio State
University. His talk concerned
mostly the new wrinkles" in milk
production. One main point of in
terest he pointed out was the
breeders change from thinking
only of butterfat production to
more milk production He explain
ed that people are interested now
in producing more milk at a lower
butterfat test in order to increase
the production of total milk solids
not fat. This change is being
brought about through the de-
crease in butter consumption and
the use of substitutes for cream in
ice cream. He also showed how the
use of artificial breeding in Ohio
has increased the milk producing
ability of cows sired by the bulls
at COBA and NOBA. The average
production of all cows that have
been sired artificially in Ohio and
are on production testing is 10,473
pounds of milk and 416 pounds of
butterfat. These same cows by
breed average have milk produc-
ton of Ayrshire 1898 pounds,
Brown Swiss 1,790 pounds, Guer-
nsey 8,O76 pounds, Holstein 1886
pounds, and Jersey 7,786 pounds.
This past year in Madison coun-
ty there were 2,115 cows bred
artificially. This is about $3.50 OF
the dairy cows in the county, ac-
cording to the 1850 census report.
