Cattle Tests Planned For County

Arrangements are being made
in Ottawa County for the second
BrucellosiS test of cattle by use
of the ring test of milk.
In charge of Frank Gonterman
the mobile laboratory is expected
to arrive in Oak Harbor on March
18. On March 18 a meeting of all
persons collecting milk samples
will be held in the Extension OF.
flee at 8 p. m.
Last visit of the testing labora.
tory was in July of 1852. The test
to be made this month is approx.
mately nine months later in order
to catch cows that were dry last
summer. 1t is sponsored by the
Dairy Service Unit that was re
organized last week.
The milk test is much simpler
and cheaper than the blood meth
cd used in 1947. The 1852 test
cost $175 in county taxes as com
pared to $4,000 in 1947. Another
well liked feature of the test is
the fact that it is voluntary. Near
ly 100 per cent of the cattle were
tested in 1852. No charge is made
to the farmer. Milk or sample col
lectors receive rs cents per sam
pie.
Collectors for the various town
ships include Hugh Kihlken fol
Danbury and Portage; John Bun
ming in Salem; Keith Durdel ir
Clay; John Luckey and Charles
Haar in Harris; Earl Moore fol
Carroll township; Arthur Libber
for Erie, while William Luebke
and Gaillard Markley will do Ben
ton Township. Collectors are still
needed for Allen and Bay town
ships.
Dairymen will be notified by
letter of approximate time of the
test by County Agent Fred T
Grimm.

More Fertilizer
Aids Farm Crops

Washington, d. C.-Agricultur-
al authorities are telling farmers
throughout the country that in
creased fertilizer use is their best
way to meet the lower farm prices
higher costs squeeze.
Under present circumstances,
farmers naturally must keep a
weather eye out so as to reduce
expenses on items which do not
offer adequate returns. Such is
not the case with fertilizer ex-
penditureS; in fact, the dividends
from its proper use make it the
farmers best bargain. In 1910, ST
invested in fertilizer brought So
dividend in extra crops; six
months ago this inve s. m n
brought an average return of
$3.75, with dividends on certain
speciality crops such as tomatoes
running as high as $15. Even with
a slump in market prices, far
greater than experienced in recent
months, fertilizer will remain the
best guardian of the farmers eco.
nomic welfare. By increasing out
put per acre through greater fer
tilizer use, a farmer can maintain
and even bolster his net income.
The major explanation for this
favorable situation lies in the
fact that fertilizer prices have not
risen as fast as prices for other
commodities the farmer buys
During the past IL years, accord
ing to the u. S. Department o.
Agriculture, prices paid by farm
ers have gone up almost 100 pei
cent and farm wage rates have
jumped 140 per cent, but fertil
izer prices have increased only sc
per cent. Relatively low fertilizer
prices prevail, despite increased
labor and transportation charges
and bagging, processing, equip
ment maintenance and replace
ment costs.

Farmers Asked To
Raise More
Sugar Beets

In view of lowering grain prices,
sugar beets may become a very
important crop to the farmers of
Northwestern Ohio both as a
good paying crop and also as a
means of reducing acreages where
surpluses are beginning to mount,
says Mr.. Otto A. Kersten, Chair
man of the ottawa County Produc-
ton and Marketing Administra-
ton.
We, as farmers, will have to act
fast if we wish to save this indus
try. Acreages have been decreas-
ing to the point where it isn't
profitable to operate the plants.
In 1850 Ottawa County grew 1888
acres; 1851 938 acres and 1852
632 acres and if the acreage isn't
increased this year, the company
feels that is will have to close
some of its plants.
The method of planting and
harvesting has changed consider
ably in the last few years. Anyone
with a corn planter and corn cul
tivator can grow beets "a sc
inch rows. The wider row yield
ing as we'll and better than the
"a inch rows of years past.
There are plenty of harvesters
with trucks in this section now
which can take care of a greatly
increased acreage. The machines
lift, top the beets and load them
into the trucks in one operation
thereby reducing the shrinkage
The plant has increased its un
loading facilities to the point
where 5 trucks can unload at one
time. The harvesters will handle
S to 8 acres day depending upor
the row width and yield.
"A IL ton crop nets the farmer
approximately $115.25 per acre

The Sugar Act also affords pro
lection to growers by providing
abandonment or deficiency pay
ments where the crop is lost O
reduced due to natural causes.
1t is possible also TO harves
the beets much earlier than il
years past. The sugar beet plan
has installed blower system whicl
cools the beets at night with nigh
air. There is also a good poss
ibility of a raise in the price O

the farmers.
So think it over! Do we wan

InlS year Cne futuTe di iioAo
of America are celebrating tWen-
ty-five years of growth and ac-
compliShment. Since 1928, this
high-school-boy organization OF
more than $4,000 members has
been making a significant and
over-increasmg contribution TO
the cause of improved agricul-
ture, satisfaction in life on the
farm and effective rural citizen
ship throughout the United
States.
It is good to know that here in
Ohio approximately 1000 Future
Farmers are studying agriculture
in a systematic manner in order
to become more efficient in their
farming operations. This four-year
program of instruction, which is
conducted on the farms as well
as in classrooms and shops is
based on the method of Learn
ing to do by doing" Under the
guidance of their teacher of voca-
tional agriculture and in cooper
alton with their parents, these
boys select and develop crop and
livestock enterprises on their
home farms. The problems en-
countered in these farming pro-
grams are studied in the class
room in order to identify better
practices which will secure high
er yields and more efficient pro-
duction. The boys keep and ana
lyze records as a basis for max
ing further adjustments or i'm
provements. They make needed
appliances and repair machines in
the shop to add to their skills as
we'll as contribute to the farm
business. In addition, many OF
them beautify their farmsteads
and add conveniences to their
homes. This interesting and eff
fective method of education helps
to keep farm boys in school and
takes the school to the farms. It
likewise provides the boys an op-
portunity to earn money and
make investments in farming-a
way of getting established In
farming for themselves.
Future Farmers of America be-
lieve that success in farming is
more than successful production
of crops and livestock; therefore,
in their organization they develop
broad program of action that
includes leadership, cooperation
and community service activities.
These are boy-planned and con-
Quoted.
They are developed with their
advisor and approved by the To-
cal school administration as
part of the total school program.
Future Farmers practice long anc
hard in learning to express them
selves well and to conduct gooo
business meetings. 1t is common
to find the chapter engaged IN
such good learning activities as
conducting parent and son ban
quets, having parties with Future
Homemakers, at t e n d ing FLA
Camp, participating in judging
contests, beautifying the school,
grounds and presenting pro-
gram at the local Grange or Farm
Bureau meeting. Future Farmers
try to develop themselves through
balanced program in which ali
members may share.
Individual achievement is recog-
nized through a program of adj
vancement in four degrees of the
organization and the many con-
tests sponsored by the State and
National Association. Boys work
