Circuit Rides Again
BY EVELYN WEAVER

"You can be proud of the
Methodist Youth in this county"
said one of our guests at the
Booth Festival Monday evening.
Indeed, | am for they carried
the ball, so to speak, without
me this time. Many, thanks to
each and every one of the coun-
Gil members and the SarahSVille
folk for making the group feel
welcome.
Our total giving for the Booth
Festival was slightly larger than
in previous years; however, we
had fourteen participating
churches including one from
Guernsey and one from Musk :
ingum county this year. At any
rate, we did a good job.' 1t is
lots of extra work for some, but
l know it is worth it.
For three evenings this week,
l have been going back and
forth to the Woodsfield Leader
ship Training School. | am happy
to see such a nice group of Sum
merfield folks at the school. 1t
has been this school which kept
me away from the Booth Festi-
val and you don't know how
much | hated missing it.
Tuesday afternoon was our
Executive Council meeting oi
the Association. DR.. Alexander
was with us once again. / do be-
lieve that the association will be
more of a working group thar
it has been in the past.
The rest of this week includ-
ing Sunday will find me riding
the circuit to Reinersville, Car
Isle, East Union, Macksburg anc
in Caldwell for a couple meet
ings. There will be services a
Berne and East Union this Sun
day.
Next Wednesday evening or
the 2lst, the East Union MYf
will meet at the Caldwell
church. This will be an organiza-
ton meeting plus one of fellow.
ship and inspiration.
This next Sunday is Laymen'S
Sunday in the Methodist church
Let us remember that churches
are not made and held together
by the clergy, but by Christian
lay people. Christ, himself, anc
each of his disciples were lay
men.

Suggests Winter
Plans For WildIife

"It may be too early to think
about getting out the long under
wear but the time is just right
to make winter plans for farm
wildlife," says R. K. Davis, ex-
tension wildlife conservationist
at Ohio State University.
Steps and plans to provide
food and cover for carrying
brood stock for next years wild
life crop over the winter can be
made right now by farmers and
others.
Davis says the best winter
food for pheasants and other
game animals is a few rows of
corn left standing near good
cover. Burning fence rows, dit
chbanks and woods brooders and
spring and fall moving destroy
wildlife cover.
Rabbits benefit from a few
we'll placed brush piles in woods
borders and in miscellaneous
areas not used for farming.
Brush piles are most valuable
when near native shrubs, he
adds. Multiflower rose fences
make good food and cover areas
for rabbits and other useful
Wildlife.
Davis does not recommend
hauling grain to wildlife and
establishing feeding areas dur
ing winter. He says winter feed
ing has too many disadvantages
to be practical. Instead, he ad-
vises farmers and others to pro-
vide now for food in the form
of standing corn or other grain
which will be available when
needed.

Disease Is Greatest
Danger To Profits

Disease is the greatest single
hazard in profitable livestock
production, says Glenn r. Ger
man, Ohio Livestock Loss Pre-
vention subcommittee chairman.
Annual livestock death rate,
directly caused by disease, have
been estimated at IS percent of
the swine, 20 percent Of the
sheep and lamb and 10 percent
of the cattle and calf popula-
tions.
Sanitation is the first step in
fighting disease he adds. Anti
biotics, drugs, vaccines and feed
supplements will be most effec-
tive if a sound sanitation pro-
gram accompanies them.

Foreign Ships at Georgetown
Give Way to Domestic Freight

freight rates are about 7 per cent
under truck and rail rates. This,
and the overnight service, are
the company's talking points.
The Navy, of course, is an
other water carrier. Three tug
boats and five barges are op-
Grated from the Naval Gun
Factory. They carry heavy stuff
between the Gun Factory and
the factory's Bellevue Annex
below Boiling Field and the
Dahlgren Proving Grounds on
the Potomac. across from Nor
gantown. Md.
The Navy also carries some
shipments between Norfolk and
Washington by tug boat and
lighter.
Alexandria for Big Ships.
Alexandria is the place for the
big ships. They come from the
Scandinavian countries, Britain,
Germany and Canada. Recently
new Swedish steamer, named
Oklahoma and registered out of
Gothenberg, tied up there. It
carried 1,076 rolls of newsprint
from Finland. plywood and other
wood products.
Paper for the newspapers here
comes into the port from the
Scandinavian countries, Eng
land and Nova Scotia. Other i'm
ports include furniture from
Sweden, Danish cheese, airplane
components from Canada, steel
from Germany and sallboats of
a new type from Finland.
Total imports in 1851 amount
ed to 61,540 tons. Exports were
two tons. The total of both
foreign and domestic water
borne freight amounted to
325.644 tons.
Edgar H. Dull. the customs
collector, said that, in the year
ending June 80, 1850, collections
of duties were only $185. But in
the year ending last June 80 the
collections were $18,051.
22I2-FOOt Depth.
The Robinson Import & Ex-
port Co. and the American Agri-
cultural Chemical Co. have ship
docks at Alexandria. George H.
Robinson of the Robinson COM
pany said the depth of the water
at his company's dock is Is feet.
But, he added, the controlling
depth is 2212 feet encountered
over the Kettle Bottom Shoals
just downstream from Colonial
Beach.
The chemical company, at All
Lee street in Alexandria, makes
commercial fertilizers and gets
the bulk of its materials by
water. 1t gets sulphur by ship
from the Gulf and phosphate
