Swine ErysipeIas
May Be Conquered

One of the farmers most cost
ly enemies, swine erysipelas, may
be dealt a staggering blow in the
near future by a one-two punch
now being tested by the veterinary
medical profession, it was announ-
ced today.
The American Foundation for
Animal Health says a two-fold
vaccination program involving
gifts and their offspring now pro-
misses to give pigs greater protec-
tion against this disease all the
way from narrowing to market
age.
VaCCinating gifts before breeding
is said to give the baby pigs inn
munity against ersipelas for as
long as six weeks. Vaccination at
weaving age then continues the
protection for a substantial per-
Centage of the drove until mar
ket age.
Vaccinating the dam instead of
the individual baby pigs is really
more economical for the hog pro-
ducer. say Foundation authorities.
Furthermore, the sow retains i'm
munity for as long as eight
months, so that successive crops
of baby pigs may receive early
protection through the one admin
istration of vaccine.

Your Election Laws

In a previous article it was sta
ted that 10000 persons were en-
gagged in the conduct of the No
vember election and that weeks OF
prediction preparation must be
made by the SO County Boards of
Elections.
OF course, this same preparation
is necessary in the Secretary of
States office, which unfolds on
election night into a gigantic tabu-
lating and reporting organization.
More than 100 volunteers recruit
ed from universities Oow students,
political science students, etc. and
other groups were used on the
night of November 2 to augment
the regular limited staff of the
Secretary of States office.

Plant Wheat In Corn
And Reap Advantages

Interplanting wheat in widely
spaced corn rows has two marked
advantages over the conventional
practice, a USDA agronomist told
the annual Soil Science Society Of
America meeting in St Paul,
Minnesota, November II.
G.. II. Stringfield cooperating
with the Ohio Agricultural Exper-
iment Station, said this method
brings better wheat crops because
it allows more timely Seeding, and
at the same time it results in more
orderly fall work on the farm.
In most cases there is no penal
ty to corn yields, the agronomist
stated, particularly if the farmer
uses full season hybrids
Seeding wheat in corn row
spaces of either 72 or 60-inch
width is proving practical where

Fresh Christmas
Trees From Ohio

The good work done by the MEM
bership oil the Christmas Tree
Growers Council, an important
division of the OLA, is being re-
flected in the trees offered for
sale Ohio professional growers,
now numbering IT'S, all members
OF the Council, have managed their
plantations with due regard for
pruning, control of disease, grad
ing and marketing practices.
Council Chairman James PEN
dry, Lisbon, points with pride to
the superior quality of the home
grown Christmas tree. Trees that
are shipped to Ohio from Canada
and the far northwest must be
harvested as early as October, be-
fore snow and ice make cutting
and shipping impossible. Ohio
trees will come to you much fresh
er for their holiday dress of stars
and tinsel, angels and gay lights.
Because they are not SO thoroughly
dried out, danger of fire is con-
siderably lessened.
A meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors, held October Is in Mt
Vernon, carried forward the years
work of the Council in several of
its aspects. The Income Tax Com
mittee is readying report on the
decision recently handed down i'm
Washington by which the grower s
profit is figured on the difference
between the value of the tree on
the stump and its market price.
Through the persistence of the
Ohio Council, and those in other
states, the government has recOg-
nized that Christmas trees, like
other timber are a slow-maturing
crop, subject to npredictable

The Tax Man Will
Get You-Even If
You DO Watch Out

One Of the results of the current
drive to collect delinquent income
taxes, according to Nathaniel
LOCKER, Director of the 28-c5unty
Columbus, Ohio Internal Revenue
District, has been a big increase
in the voluntary submission of i'm
stallment" payments. Some tax
debtors send in a few dollars hop
ing revenue officers will keep
quiet for a while" LOCKER added.
He further stated:
Such easy payment addicts
who thus attempt to stall on their
federal income tax payments are
going to be disappointed, since
We will proceed with legal actions
Immediately" These actions could
be either levies against earnings
or seizure of assets, according 70
LOCKER.
Accomplishments of the current
drive have been encouraging. A
DSNA O51bO vi NyOOO dtIIliiuCllt letA-
payers who received final notices
have paid approximately S240,000
Of these 3,400, about 1,450 tax
payers paid up their accounts in
full to the extent of S155, 900. An
other 1,940 tax debtors made par
tial payments on their accounts.
The so collection officers in this
District, however, are continuing
their drive on the 400 tax delin-
quents in the current group They
also are not overlooking an addi-
tional 5000 accounts representing
older tax debts. Regarding partial
payments, Director LOCKER stated
that his office made partial pay
nent agreements only in the cases
of taxpayers who can show ex-
treme hardship because of such
circumstances as illness or unem-
ployment.

Cranberries are priced right
either canned or fresh.
Oranges - California Valencias
or Florida juice oranges-are in
good supply and OF good quality.
Carrots both local or shipped
in-are of superior quality. Celery,
too, is both local and shipped in.
There are many choices of the
greens" and partially green"
vegetables. These include collard,
kale, mustard, spinach, cabbage,
chinese cabbage, endive, escarole
and watercress.
Meat -- Pork ioin roaSts remain
low priced. Most pork cuts are
good buys.
Fish is in good supply in the
market and of excellent quality.
Oysters and shrimp are features.
Poultry and Eggs - Turkeys,
stewing chickens, fryers and ducks
are plentiful and of excellent quail
ity. Medium-sized eggs are plenti-
aful and give the most egg for the
money.
So ~ this week we can look for
apples, cranberries, grapefruit and
oranges. In vegetables, it's carrots,
celery, chinese cabbage, potatoes,
and turnips. Pork loin and fish,
and medium eggs, stewing hens,
and of course, turkey, which, with
the Beltsville type, are becoming a

7>&Nl First Section of AII-conerefe
Ohio turnpike Opens. ..Ov SckeaA@/

The 21.4-mile Eastgate section of the Ohio Turn
pike is now officially open on schedule.
The entire turnpike will stay free from ruts,
bumps and chuckholes and insure motorists the
ultimate in comfort, safety and convenience.
Toward this end, the Ohio Turnpike Commits
sion chose concrete for the 241-mile route from
the Pennsylvania border to the Indiana line.
Concrete is the safest pavement for these two
reasons l. Its gritty, highly skd-resstant surface
permits quicker stops in emergencies, even
though the pavement is wet. 2. Its light color
reflects up to four times more light than dark
colored pavement, providing better visibility at
night, when most accidents occur Remember II

turns.
These were all once would-be

Geographic Society says Today
they lie buried on forgotten maps
Of Americas early years.
The State of Franklin, for one,

courts, and capital in the noun
tains of what is now northeast
Tennessee. Set up at Jonesboro in
1874 when North Carolina gave
over her western land to Federal
protection, Franklin for five years
knocked vainly at the Nations
door for admission.
Even earlier, settlers along the
Watauga, Nolichucky, Holston and
French Broad Rivers had formed
homespun government called the
Watauga. Association. Neither Wa
tauga nor Franklin was destined
TO survive. Franklin, the Coonskin
+ republic, was officially superseded
/ by the Territory South OF the
River Ohio" John Sevier-''NoIi-

only governor, a decade later be-
came the first governor of the
State OF Tennessee.
In 1859, miners around Pixies
Peak formed a Territory of JEFF

! Congress. During the next two
years Jefferson incorporated the
city of Denver and set many land
titles. Then Congress gave it a
new name: Colorado.
Deseret lasted longest of all. Or

Salt Lake City, the proposed terri

ing from the Rockies to the Sierra
Nevada-plus even a strip of Pa

Congress rejected the name
chosen by the Latter-day Saints
and established d much smaller
Territory of Utah in 1880 Again
in 1861, however, the Mormons
founded a State of DeSeret." It's

name proposed for their State by
the settlers of Vermont. a dele

During the Civil War Congress
was petitioned to recognize a new
