Although they were in their

brothers Immediately took stock
of the situation and pitched in
and made their own saw mill.
They purchased the engine from
Lawrence Woodford.
I'VE only do custom saving"
Doc. Davis said, "and right now
we are cutting 80 inch logs into
inch lumber" He also added that
when we run out of any saving
to do, we just turn around and
build fence. You know that is a
never ending job"
D. d. Davis is married to the
former Vesta Blake and they
have one daughter, Capitola
Shirley of Columbus.
Frank Davis was married to
the former Minnie Boyd Davis,
who death occurred last fall.
They had no children.

Upper Gwynne Farm managed by
B. Gwynne Burr, when 10 tons of
hay were completely destroyed,
but the 80 x 10 shed in which it

scorched.
Mr.. Burr publicly expressed his
appreciation to the Community

Farm Storage Is
Only Answer Say
Elevator Men

Wheat storage facilities in Mad
ison county are short and the sit
uation critical, according to local
elevator operators. Three weeks
ago, a reliable source reported
that there were over II million
bushels of government wheat in
storage in Ohio elevators and
terminals and there is no pros
pect of moving it to take care of
the coming July harvest.
, In this area, little or no storage
space is available and farmers are
urged to store this years crop for
a period of from 80 to 60 days
following the harvest. Cash diff
ferential on cash wheat and gov
ernrnent loan wheat was said 20
De approximately S17O cash and
$214 on loan. At present only a
small amount Of last years wheat
has been ordered out of storage
and space is either not available
or is, in some cases, limited to
about 10 bushels to the acre.
The Walnut street elevator of
the Farm Bureau has approxi-
mately 100000 bushels of wheat
on hand in a total storage ca
pacity of 100000 bushels. Other
elevators in Madison county have
about the same problem percent
age wise. The situation is criti-
cal" is the general statement
heard from grain dealers here.
According to several trade pa
rers and magazines, there is
enough wheat in the country to
furnish 14O0 loaves Of bread for
every family in the United States
not counting free" wheat.
However, elevator operators
have not given up hope of moving
some wheat prior to harvest time.
Should orders come through on
time some relief is expected al
though no promises have been
made.
At the present time, elevator
operators said that they are in no
position to say whether they will
contract storage space either to
old customers or on a first come,
first served" basis. 1t was pointed
out that some growers with early
crops may not get space while
those with late harvest may get
space as orders to move wheat
are filled
