Increase Buiierfai
Average More Than
100 Pounds In 2 Years

Approved practices boosted the
herd butterfat average more than
100 pounds in two years on JEFF
ferson county partnership dairy
farm, according to Frederick A.
Hughes, extension economist a..
Ohio State University.
In 1850, a herd owned by Vim
cent West and Elmer Smith, Dill
lonvale, averaged 305 pounds of
butterfat. The average jumped to
334 pounds in 1851 and AIT
pounds in 1852.
after careful study of Dairy
Herd Improvement Association
records" Hughes says, these men
decided that boarders couldn't
stay in the herd. They culled
heavily the last couple of years" ;"
They practice artificial breed
ing, follow a sound agronomy
program, are IVA cooperators
and work closely with F. P. Tay-
lor, county agricultural agent.
Hughes says the men look to Tay-
lor and the IVA program to keep
informed about late farming
methods. Artificial dissemination
pays them dividends of better
breeding and their agronomy
program supplies enough legume
hay and grass silage.
"They are well aware" says
Hughes, "that feed costs are high
in producing milk. West said they
cut their feeding rate from a
pound of grain for 2 pounds of
milk to a pound of grain for 5
pounds of milk during the past
year"
Protein content of their grain
ration is about II percent and
about 80 percent of that grain is
home grown. Farmers with poor
quality roughage have to feed a
grain mixture of Is to 20 percent
protein.
Hughes says, "They increased
their fat average 83 pounds last
year while reducing grain feed
ing by almost half. They are
convinced milk production can
be maintained and produced
cheaper with good quality hay
and silage."
Their silage last year was about
80 percent legumes without pre-
servatives. Their hay was field
cured alfalfa-mostly second
cutting.

years program. Underplanting
consists of planting more valu-
able mixed hardwood species in
the locust stands planted between
1916 and 1851. Areas to be under
planted include 1000 acres at
Philo Mine No. l in Muskingum
county, 800 acres at Philo Mine
No. 2 in Muskingum and Perry
counties and 100 acres at Cum
berland Mine No 3 in Noble
county.
On the new spoil banks at Philo
No. and Cumberland No. 3,
Ohio Power will plant 215,000
black locusts and 2l3,000 mixed
hardwoods, including white ash,
cherry, hard maple, chestnut oak,
sycamore, red oak, white oak and
yellow poplar.
A total of 100000 Of those mix
ed hardwoods will be set out in
the underplanting of Philo No. |
and No. 2 and Cumberland No. 3.
In the undisturbed lands -
Philo No. 2, Cumberland No. 3
and Muskingum No. 4 - total
of $4,000 pines, including white
pine, red pine and short leaf pine,
will be planted, along with $1,000
mixed hardwoods.
Company coal lands now in ma
tural or planted forest include
$3.50 acres at Philo No. l, about
500 acres at Philo No. 2, and
$500 acres at Cumberland No. 3.
A total Of 1900 acres Of natural
and planted forests will be added
this year.
John ]. Reiser, Ohio Powers
real estate agent in charge of the
reclamation program, said about
25 to 80 days will be required to
plant the trees this spring.
Mechanical Planting
The task of planting the mil
lion tree seedlings will be facili-
tated by the use OF four Root
spred mechanical tree planters,
which set out from 5000 to 1000
seedlings daily. The spoil banks
will be planted by hand with
labor supplied under contract
with the Dunzweiler Construc-
ton Co. of GAINESVILLE.
Most of the trees were obtain
ed from the Ohio Division of
Forestry Nurseries at Green
Springs and Marietta, Ohio, the
Soil Conservation District of
Muskingum, Perry and Noble
counties, and from private nur-
series in Ohio and adjoining
states.

Gives Pointers On
Good Floor Finishes
What is a good floor finish?

What is a good floor finish?
Jane Schoppe, extension home
furnishing specialist at Ohio
State university, says that it
should look we'll and wear we'll,
be easy to care for, and not show
patching of worn spots. Good
finishes should be all this, and
resistant to stains, spots and mois-
ture, as well.
Floor finishes are of two gen.
eral types, the specialist says.
The film-forming type includes
paint, varnish, lacquer, and shell
lac. These finishes make a hard
film that may show scratches and
eventually wear off, especially on
floors that receive much wear
Such finishes should be clean
ed and renewed when they begin
to get thin in spots and before
they wear through. 1t is usually
necessary after several renewals
to remove all the old finish and
refinish the bare wood.
Penetrating seals and oils show
less scratching and usually wear
well because they tend to tough
en- the wood, says Miss Schoppe.
They have soft sheen rather
than a high gloss, and can be pat
ched without leaving a spot. Most
homemakers use wax on these
finishes for added protection.
Penetrating seals are becoming
more popular in homes. For many
years, they have been used for
heavy duty floor, as in gymnas-
iumS.
No finish is superior in all res
poets, and each will give good
service only when well cared for.
Miss Schoppe suggests choosing
a good quality that will give the
desired appearance.

All Price Controls
Are Now Terminated

All price controls were termi-
mated last Tuesday by an order
issued at Washington by Price
Stabilizer Joseph H. Freehill. The
action was taken in Amendment
l to the General Overriding Reg
ulation A.
The amendment eXempts from
price controls all sales of COM
modities and services, both in the
United States and in the terri
tories and possessions.
Freehill said this is the last
step pursuant to the presidents
direction to terminate price con-
trolls.
He stressed, however, that end
ing of controls does not affect the
requirements regarding the pre-
servation of records as to past
transaction. Businesses must keep
available for inspection until
April 80, 1855, whatever records
were required by OPS regula-
tions under which they formerly
operated. No records of trans
actions since decontrol are re-
quired.

the farms of Noble county is
very critical. County Agent
Floyd Henderson said that many
of our farmers have found il
necessary to feed hay to the
cattle, with almost no pasture
left.
Numerous farmers are report
ed to be hauling water for two
weeks already and many Of the
streams in the county are com
pletely dried up.
The corn is Withering and al
through the ears are pretty well
matured, a good soaking rain
would add bushels to the total
crop, according to Henderson.
The dry period will also elimi-
nate a third hay cutting here.
or at least cut it short for many
of our farmers. The main pro-
blem, however, is the lack OF
pasture and livestock water here
in Noble county, We are tolo
that our neighboring counties
are less fortunate than we, with
even less rainfall in the past six
weeks.
E. B. Randles, damtender al
Senecaville dam, sent in re-
port of precipitation and evapor-
alton, which vividly illustrates
the lack of rain here this sum
mer.
His report shows that from
April l, 1858, to Aug. 81, 1907
inches of rain fell, and the aver
age rainfall in these same
months for the past l6 years has
beeen 20.22 inchs. At the same
time, the normal excess evapora'
ton over precipitation for these
months were 16.99 inches, a;
compared to 6.39 inches for the
l6 year average.
The following breakdown
gives the amount Of precipitation
since last April /;
Precipitation (inches): Apri
3.15; May, 2.91; June, 2.38; July

average for the past l6 year
