new C0URT-bI
CHANGES SET-UP

Under a new proposal now in
the House of Representatives Rules
Committee, cost of operating mu-
nicipal court in this county would
be borne by Port Clinton and the
county while other villages would
pay nothing towards the upkeep.
Under the present municipal
court law, villages are assessed to
help pay court costs.
The new bill, which deals with
distribution of fines and costs Of
municipal courts. has been ap-
proved by the House Judiciary
Committee and may be voted III
the House this week.
If the new bill is approved, Port
Clinton would pay three fifths of
the clerk and judges salaries and
the county would pay the remain
der. All fines, except in state high
way patrol cases, would go to the
county. In highway patrol cases,
half goes to the state and half to
the municipality All costs would
go to Port Clinton's treasury May
ors in all villages could continue
to hold court on local ordinance
cases.

Feather Pillows
Can Be Washed

Feather pillows may be washed
in automatic washers and dried in
automatic dryers, says Anna Bieb-
richer, extension home furnishings
specialists at Ohio State Univer-
sity.
She reminds homemakers to
mend breaks or tears in ticking so
feathers will not escape during
washing. If ticking is in poor con-
dltion homemakers should transfer
feathers to a sturdy muslin bag
large enough to prevent packing
down. After washing and drying,
feathers can go into new ticking.
To let air out of pillows with
good ticking, rip about 11a inches
in opposite corners at each end,
and overcast or pin with safety
pins. Pillows will be easier to
wash with less billowing.
Homemakers should follow
manufacturers instructions for
washing one or two pillows at a
time. If homemakers use soap in
hard-water areas, they will need a
1on-precipitating water-conditioner
in the wash and first-rinse water.
Miss Biebricher recommends
the complete washing cycle, with
a stop midway to turn the pillows
by hand. If the load becomes un
balanced in spinning it will require
adjustments for proper balancing.
Specific information is given in in
struction books.
Feather pillows dry satisfactorily
in automatic dryers. If pillows
must be line-dried, Miss Biebrich-
er suggests picking a time when
weather is hot and sunny and a
stiff breeze is blowing. If pillows
are washed during rainy weather
with no adequate place for drying,
mildew or odors may result.
Changing the position on the line
and shaking pillows frequently will
help distribute feathers.

A product of the Tennessee Val
ley Authority is fertilizer Their ex-
perimental work produces 1870
nitrogen and a new phosphate -
Calcium metaphosphate 63qo. In
Ohio, the Farm Bureau co-opera-
tive is the distributor. IVA is the
nations largest source of nitrogen
fertilizer.
However, all of their products
are for experimental work. If a
farmer buys these products he
signs an agreement to keep records
of the results.
Starting July l the ordering, al
locating and responsibility for re-
suits will be in the hands of a
county committee. They must know
before July l if you want any Of
these fertilizers. The supply re-
ceived probably won't equal that
ordered from IVA. The committee
will then allocate the supply to
those interested.
George Sondergeld has ordered
enough of the 636 phosphate to
top-dress ten acres of alfalfa. A
test strip will be left to check re-
suits.
If you are interested write Box

wig, Farm Bureau manager or see
your county agent.

Social Security
Aids More People

Most Self-employed persons have
family protection under social Sc
curity at least until July /, 1855,
Wayne w. Putnam, Manager of the
Toledo social security office, said
today.
This survivors insurance protec-
ton has been built by people who
have worked for themselves in
most trades and businesses since
January l, 1851, and have reported
and paid social security tax on
net earnings of at least $400 in
1851 and 1852, Putnam said.
In addition, he pointed out, these
self-employed workers have retire
ment protection if they reach 65
and retire before mid-1955. Future
self-employment will extend the
period of social security protec-
ton for these workers and their
families at the rate of two years
of protection for every year en-
gagged in a social security covered
trade or business. When worker
has completed 10 full years in
covered employment either as a
wage Garner in the employ of an
other, or as self-employed indi-
vidual, he and his family will be
permanently insured for life. Put
nam said that the amount of the
family payment, however, is de-
pendent on the amount of employ
ment and the amount of wages or
net earnings from Self-employment
accumulated at the time of retire
ment or death. Under existing
law, the minimum monthly family
payment is $45, while the maxi.
mum is $168.75. The workers own
monthly retirement payment al
age 65 ranges between a minimum
of S25 and a maximum of $85.
There are certain Self-employed
groups which are excluded from
social security coverage; these arc
members of the professions anC
farm owners and farm operators
Questions you may have abou
your coverage as self-employeC
person can best be answered by
your nearest social security office
Mr.. Putnam said. He declared that
as of now, approximately 5,000,00t
self-employed people are covered
under the Social Security Act.

COUNCIL PLANS JOINT MEETING
TO DISCUSS new zON|NC CODE

Charles Hatch, Toledo zoning
engineer. will meet with members
Of the city council and Port Clin-
ton Planning Committee at Z
Tuesday evening, June 16, to dis
cuss the city's proposed zoning
code.
Henry Cowgirl, Safety Director
and committee chairman, announc-
ed the joint meeting last Tuesday
and stated a meeting open to the
public would be held later this
summer.
Approved by councilmen last
Tuesday were an ordinance to
employ an assistant city solicitor
to handle airport matters and first
reading Of the ordinance for con-
struction of a waterline to the
westerly portion of the D. w.
Payne Addition.
Carl Heckler, chairman of the
Board of Public Utilities, stated
that plans for the city's sewage
disposal plant are nearing COM
pletion and will be sent soon to
Columbus for approval by the
Ohio Board of Health. He an
nounced that right-of-way difficult
ties are being cleared.
Councilman Adair WILDER asked
that approximately $4,000 which
had been paid to the city by prop
erty owners for the Fifth and
Sixth Street improvements last
year, which had been placed in
the Bond Retirement Fund, be ap-
piled towards bonds for these pro-
jects and thus high interest rates
would be saved. Other councilmen
agreed and the city treasurer is
to complete the transaction.
Plans to pave Alice and Mon
roe Streets from Sixth to the cor
poration line, petitioned by prop
erty owners, were approved with
Councilman Robert Reynolds be-
ing the only dissenter.
Reynolds asked that East Sec
ond and Jefferson Streets, wild
ened by the city last year, be com
pleted before other projects are
started. Councilman Charles Rud
dock informed Reynolds that the
Alice-M0nroe paving is an assess.
ment project and was petitioned
before the other projects were
started.
Reynolds was in an economy
move throughout the meeting
claiming too much money was be

fled the councilmen that an addi-
tional $11, 1000 had been added to
the city funds since the last coun-
Gil meeting.
Councilman Bracken moved
that the finance committee pre-
pare a comparison between 1943
and 1855 state and county funds
received by the city and the city's
expenditures in each fund. His
motion was approved.
Safety Director Henry Cowgirl
suggested purchase of a 750-gal-
lon water tank to replace a 200
gallon tank on one of the city's
fire trucks at cost of less than
$500 but Reynolds baked and
doubted it was necessary at this
time.
When Cowgirl stated his depart
ment wished to purchase 5000
worth of street signs, both Reyn-
olds and Ruddock objected, Reyn-
olds on economy and Ruddock on
the basis that present speeding
and stop sign laws aren't being
strictly enforced.
Bracken stopped the discussion
by stating: eve have appointed
Mr.. Cowgirl to this job and he's
trying to make the city safer. He
has conferred with the police chief
and fire chief and feels these ex-
penditures are necessary. After
all, he already has a budget to
govern expenditures. Pm sure he
will use good judgment and as
long as he stays within his budget,
council should go along with his
suggestions"
Mr.. Heckler said that plan is
being investigated to pave East
Second and Jefferson Street with
a black top substitute, such as
now in use in East Second, and
that the work may be completed
in the near future.

Rotation Cuts
Protein Costs

Cows on rotated pasture require
less protein in their grain ration
says R. R. SItarbuck, extension
specialist at Ohio State University.
Starbuck says that in a series OF
tests at the Ohio Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, Wooster, cows on
rotation pasture and cows in a
continuous grazing plot produced
the same amount of milk. Rotated
cows, however, required less pro-
tein in the grain ration.
One group of IL cows grazed
alfalfa-ladino bromegrass meadow
in rotation while IL other cows
'grazed meadows of the same crops
continuously from May 5 to Sep
tember z. Three groups of four
cows each grazed half-acre plots in
rotation while similar groups
grazed 3-acre plots continuously.
Rotated cows remained on half
acre plots to IL days. When the
small plots were not needed for
pasture, workers harvested hay
and silage from them. Starbuck
says this accounted for 18 to 20
percent of the feed produced.
Workers harvested no hay from
the continuously grazed fields.
"Both groups of cows produced
the same amount of milk" Star.
buck says, "but the rotated cows
required less protein irI the grain
ration"

The usual width of a unit is three
feet, and the shelf depth is liz
inches.
The accompanying illustration
reveals the construction. Note the
triangular pieces of Tempered
Presdwood used at the back to
brace each unit. The 3/16" thick
ness of this material is used as
shelf surfaces because of its long
wearing quality, it's resistance to
moisture and it's hard, smooth sur
face which makes it easy to keep
clean.
The shelves merely are laid in
place without fasteners. They may
be nailed down, of course, for a
permanent installation. Either
leave them unpainted or color them
any attractive hue. Incidentally,
Tempered Presdwood has no splin-
ters, and that's a comfort when
there are youngsters around.

Urge Grab Test AS
Silage Yardstick

The grab test is an easy way to
determine whether a crop is too
wet or dry to keep in silo says
Earl Jones, extension agronomist
at Ohio State University.
Jones says if a ball of chopped
material held firmly in the hand
tends to show juiciness it is toe
wet for ensiling alone. If the ball
of material springs apart and falls
into a pile in the hand after
squeezing it probably is too dry
for ensiling without special care
and sealing.
When the handful of choppe:'
material retains the shape of the
inside of the hand and is merely
moist it probably will make good
Silage just as it is.
Jones explains that whe r
chopped material contains too
much moisture silage made from
it will be soggy, cold and juicy
Silage will be fluffy and difficult
to pack if the crop is too high in
dry matter content.
Alfalfa and other succulent for
age in early bloom may contain a.
little as Is to 20 percent dry mat
ter when standing. Jones says such
crops should wilt in the field be-
fore going into the silo.
On good drying days, 2 to 4
hours in the windrow probably
will reduce the moisture content
of succulent crops to the proper
range-6O to 70 percent moisture

NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED CRlMD
FRED cRIMn

Newest plague to hit farmers is
the presence of the beetles on new
corn. This is a small black bug
that jumps like a flea. They have
been troublesome in the past on
potatoes, radishes and tomatoes.
You can also expect them to give
trouble on sugar beets They suck
the saps and put holes in the
leaves. In the case of corn the
new plant shrivels and dries up.
We recommend a spray of DOT.
Use pints of $50 DDT emulsion
per acre. Don't wait when you see
them. They will ruin the crop an
a few days.
SoybeanS are up in several
fields. We had lots of manganese
trouble with them last year. So be
prepared to hit them with man
ganese sulphate spray-10 pounds
per acre in water. The material is
selling for five or six cents per
acre. Last year it increased yields
three to five bushels. Early spray.
