Madison County
Test Shows More
Beef Per Acre

A project at the Madison County
Experiment Farm is beginning to
give beef producers some ideas on
how to get the most pounds OF
beef in return for a given acreage
of crops.
Results of the experiment indi-
cate that feeding corn as silage
gives the highest beef gain per
acre-530 pounds-at compara-
lively low cost. The silage requir-
ed per hundred pounds of gain for
one lot of 10 steers averaged 1000
pounds. Additional feeds for this
lot per 100 pounds of gain were
354 pounds corn and cob meal, 63
pounds of soybean meal, and 133
pounds of hay. Total feed cost per
hundred pounds of gain was $19.O7.
Another phase of the same pro-
ject compared the rate of gain and
relative economy of corn silage
versus grass silage. Steers eating
grass silage and a half feed or 8.5
pounds of corn and cob meal made
a slightly lower average daily gain
than those on the same grain ra-
ton with corn silage. Steers ate
1,400 pounds of grass silage per
100 pounds of gain, and the total
gain per crop acre was ATS pounds.
Project leader z. w. Klosterman
of the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station, points out that all
feed used in the test was harvested
from the Madison County farm.
Only by this method was he able
to show the actual pounds of beef
gained per acre of crop.
Reason for the difference be-
tween corn silage and grass silage
is that the latter is low in carbo-
hydrates or readily available en-
ergy. Cattle on grass silage usually
make fair gains only during the
first few weeks, Klosterman says
At the Madison County farm. a
proper balance between corn and
cob meal and hay crop silage has
been economical because the ra-
ton required no additional supple
ment.
Carcass grading of the Madison
County steers showed the corn sill
age group led with l prime and
choice compared to no prime car
casses 6 choice and 4 low choice
for the grass silage lot.
Although steers eating straight
corn and cob meal ration graded
out to more prime carcasses, Klos-
terman points out that these cattle
required more acreage per hun
dred pounds of gain and a conse-
quently higher feed cost.
You can't always feed corn
klosterman states, "and these ex.
periments indicate that Ohio beef
growers can make excellent use OF
either corn or grass silage, depend.
ing on availability, and provided
they feed some corn and cob mea
with the grass silage."

WELCOME SHOWERS!

Weatherman Leonard McNeal
reports that the rainfall Satur-
day set a record of 3.85 inches
for a "a hour period. Rainfall
was only SIS inches in the early
morning but after 9 am. 3.3
inches fell in a little more than
four hours, McNeal said.
Most of the moisture was inn
mediately absorbed by tn e
parched ground and very little
run-off was noted for the heavy
fall. A few county roads had
water over them but thirsty
fields soaked up most of the
rainfall.

The body of Miamisburg flier
has arrived in New York for

The story behind Capt. Lyman
David Barkalow's death eight

abouts had ever been heard by
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin
S. Barkalow of Mad River rd.,
RR z, Dayton, or by his wife, the

Xenia.
They recently received word
that the bodies of eight American
fliers had been located in graves
near Wormlage, Germany, in a
country churchyard 10 miles
north of Rutland, their target for
the day they disappeared.
parish priest in the village
confirmed the fact that the men
buried there were Americans and
that burial had taken place the
day they were missed. A cross
bearing the inscription, 'Hier
Ruben 8 USA Soldaten in
Frieden" was placed on the grave.
The village is in the Russian
sector of Germany and Russian
officials would not permit ex-
huming the bodies until recently.
Col. James B, Clearwater, chief
of the memorial division of the
Army Quartermaster Corps in
Germany, informed Capt. Bark
allows parents and wife that one
of the eight bodies was positively
identified as that of their missing
relative. Identification was made
through extensive laboratory tests
and medical records" he said.
A telegram received this week
said the body had arrived in New
York and would be sent to

SAYS Madison Tax.
Payers Gave Gift
Of Over $4,000

Prosecutor, Clyde E. Lewis OF
Delaware, Ohio, longtime foe of
the Scioto-Sandusky Conservancy
District operators, Saturday chal-
lenged all public officials in the
17-county district to help in the
fight to dissolve the district. The
Supreme Court of Ohio handed
down a decision last Wednesday
to the effect that the recent three
tenths mill levy was not assess
ment-but tax.
Lewis declared, This Conser-
vancy District has so flagrantly
disregarded the constitution of
Ohio that its every action should
be inquired into by those who are
responsible to the people"
The 60 Supreme Court decision
refused to approve collection of
the conservancy districts second
three-tenths mill levy in Delaware
and Union counties. Franklin
county officials said that the $780,
600 collected under the levy last
spring would be refunded to tax
payers. Madison county paid the
levy as special assessment" on
the tax bills.
With regard to Madison county,
Lewis said, al feel sorry for the
taxpayers Of Madison county, who
have made a free-wiiI offering Of
$10,s06.04 to the conservancy dis
trict this year." He said that the
monies collected In Madison and
Highland counties have already
been appropriated by the district
and used to pay salaries.
Lewis further stated that the
Conservancy District set-up is "au-
tocratic and out-moded." He also
said that the $500, 900 collected on
similar levy in 1948 was illegally
obtained.
Union County Auditor, F. T. Me-
Curdy, had refused to post the
levy on the tax bills in February.
Several other counties also refus-
ed to collect the tax at that time.
Contending that Delaware and
Union counties have carried the
fight thus far, Lewis said, I'VE
should examine the entire opera
ton. It is the public responsibility
of all other public officers now to
protect those in their communities
who have been and will be injured
by the Conservancy District"
Madison County Auditor, For
rest Hanson. said Monday that the
money collected on the recent levy
had been turned over to the Con-
servancy District and that chances
for a refund were remote mas
much as it is understood that the
$10,9O6.04 had already been appro-
priated by the conservancy board
for salaries. Hanson also explained
that he was duty bound to collect
the money under the law since no
one came forward with any objec-
ton at the time.
Judge James F. Bell, Madison
County Common Pleas Judge, is a
member of the Conservancy Court
and was said to be 'in favor" OF
the continuation of the conser-
vancy district. Comon Pleas judges
from the II counties involved COM
pose the conservancy court which
in essence, is the real governing
body of the district, it was said.

White House Keeps Lists of Americans Getting Special
Reserved Seats Along Coronation Route Deep Secret

In any case, at 1900 Pennsyl-
vania avenue they say that
who is invited to the ball at
Buckingham Palace is strictly
a British affair.
Swiss Counselor Andre Bois-
sier and his attractive Amer
lean wife are going to the coro-
nation. They wouldn't be go
ing over just for the corona
ton, said Andre. but it COIN
cideS with the beginning of his
home leave. Friends there have
planned a week program for
them that sounds glamorous
and staggering, will include
two private. balls, the derby,
theater with Noel Coward, and
of course the big day itself
when their seats for the coro-
nation will be so close to the
Ritz that they can whip in and
out for food and TV parties
throughout the day.
Their plans were divulged at
the luncheon French Coun-
selor Pierre Millet gave on Sat-
urday for the French Consul
General in New York, Count
de Lagarde, and his wife and
also his sisters and brother

The two most guarded lists
in Washington are the lists of
those Americans chosen by the
White House to have seats
along the procession route at
Elizabeth IFS coronation.
On one list are AZ names Of
persons who were offered free
seats along the procession
route. On the other list are
the names of 80 United States
citizens who have been offered
seats for which they must pay
the prevailing price of between
Is to 80 lbs. sterling. That's
around SIS to $85 in American
money.
The British Foreign Office
put the two blocs of seats at
the disposal of the United
States government and they
were offered. it is presumed, to
Eisenhower campaign support
ers. It Is said that such names
as Mrs. Ogden Reid, Harvey
Flrestone. jr., and Mrs. Robert
Low Bacon are to be found on
the lists.
The final roster of these
coronation viewers will not
be the same as the original
selection. Some of the people
first offered these compara-
lively small patronage plums
couldn't go to England after
all, for one reason or another,
and there have been some
substitutions. The final list
was submitted to the British
Foreign Office about two weeks
ago.
The White House clamped a
cloak of secrecy over all this
for obvious reasons-to save
the administration the head
ache of the hue and cry that
might be raised by other Eisen-
hover contributors who figured
they weren't getting the
favored treatment.
The White House definitely
denies, however, that it has
any say as to who goes to Queen
Elizabeth'S coronation ball at
Buckingham Palace. Friends
of United States Ambassador
to Great Britain and Mrs. Win
throp Aldrich wrote the AL
dricheS that inasmuch as they
were coming over for the coro-
nation to please count them in
for such coronation highlights
as the ball at the Buckingham
Palace. Such naivete strikes us
as amazing, yet people who
have had no connection with
official life are frequently en-
tirely unaware of the strict
limitations and restrictions
that 60 hand in hand with Of
f1cial functions.
The Aldriches, It's said, wrote
back that any such invitations
to the ball would have to come
through the White House. BY
that they probably meant that
only President Eisenhower's
chosen delegates were invited.
