The latter committee has been
set up by the railroads to keep
the Riverlake Belt Conveyor Lines
from building a belt conveyor
from Lake Erie to the Ohio River.
The railroad pamphlet pictures
a conveyor cutting through barn
yard, between barn and farm
house, and states that Riverlake
is seeking the right to condemn
your property"
The booklet says that Riverlake
would force the railroad to dis
continue facilities and unprofit-
able operations in many parts of
the state" and raise rail rates on
farm products.
Such an increase in rates would
mean lower net profits for farm
ers on the things they sell, higher
delivered prices on the things they
buy" the phamphlet states.

threats rather than facts"

70 Inch Corn Row
Recommended For
BIGGER Yield -

Sowing wheat or grass-legume
crops between corn rows 70 inches
apart was suggested Tuesday to
Farm and Home Week visitors at
Ohio State University by G. II.
Struggled, agronomist at the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Wooster.
Struggled pointed out that
when soil and weather conditions
are good enough to produce 70
bushels of corn an acre, corn rows
so inches apart will yield as we'll
as 80 or 40-inch rows.
'T,his is true only when the
number of plants per acre is alike
and adequate" the agronomist
emphasized. TT appears that many
farmers get higher yields at mar
row row-spacings (40 inches or
less) because of more nearly op-
timum acre-stands-and not nee
cessarily because rows are closer
together"
It would be easier to sow wneat
between 60 or 7O-inch corn rows.
Farmers also might summer-seed
plow-down crops or even mea-
dow crops between WIDE corn
rows.
SPRINGFIELD suggested planting
mid-season or -full-season adapteo
buhrid at an adequate number OF
niants per acre in rows about ~
inches apart. Farmers VINO qua
t1is could sow wheat on the ny
free date in ,lnharvested corn OF
they might plant plow-ao"h VI
meadow crops between the corn
rows in summer. They could oelay
corn harvest until the crop was ia
proper condition. ,,
"The average result" Stringfieh'
said. should be about 8 pusneH
less corn and 8 bushels more
wheat an acre, better quality Oh
both crops and an orderly sequ-
ence in fall farm jobs" he eau.
toned that summer seedlings Oh
GRASS and legumes are more sus-
centible to dry weather tnan
spring seedlings and that wloe

are not a substitute for crop TO

There are many reasons for
