Dear Sir:
Here l am late again with my
money for The Journal for the
year of 1854. Thank you for con,
tinuing to send it to me.
Since my wonderful trip tC
southern Ohio and on to Harris
vile, w. Va, last fall, made pos
sible by my brother, Earl Loveall
and wife of Cuyahoga Falls, !
take many trips to Noble county
in memory.
The trip was made in October
when the leaves were so beauti-
full. We attended Sunday school
in Harrisville on Sunday in the
little white church by the side
of the road. It made me so happy
to see the church that my grand
father was responsible for get
ting built there more than go
years ago. But the neglect of the
cemetery is terrible but at my
age, almost 80 years, it would be
impossible for me to do any
thing about it.
l lived in Caldwell four years
before coming to Alliance more
than go years ago. Many changes
there since we lived there, the
beautiful courthouse and church
es. They make me feel that Noble
county is still the best in the
state.
Sincerely,
Lille l.. Quick

Circuit Rides Again
BY EVELYN WEAVER

Many of you will be interested
in the fact that on Monday,
spent the whole day with Russell
Hoy and another rural church
man, Bob Wells. If any of you
have been out to Russell's church
and farm, you will know what
am talking about. 1t is no wonder
as someone suggested, that he
writes SO down to earth because
his home overlooks a beautiful
hillside. And his church is really
meeting the needs of his people
When two hundred folks come
out to church, you know that il
is at least meeting their spiritual
need. You will probably be read
ing that lambing season had be-
gun at Hoy's ten acres; also they
had 500 new baby chicks.
Some of you, the youth any
way, will rmember the young
fellow we had at our Institute
last year--Bob Wells. He is doing
a tremendous job in his four
churches. | never saw a young
man so talented. He has made
almost all Of his own furniture;
was putting in his own kitchen
cabinets and when we got there
was ploWing. He also was boiling
his maple syrup which he had
taken from his trees the day be-
fore when it was so warm. In
deed, it was a thrilling day for
me as I spent this time with
these folks.
BY the time some of you folks
get this, we will be visiting in
your territory. You may remem-
Der that six of us are visiting
six churches on Wednesday,
Renrock, Hiramsburg, Belle Val
ley, Sarahsville, Mt. Ephraim
and Summerfield. On Thursday
we are visiting Carlisle, Road
Fork, Harriettsville, Dexter City
and KeithtoWn. All the churches
have received the questions o.
list of questions regarding th'
church and community. This re
port will then be made at tn
| Church and Rural Life institute
on Tuesday, March 2. Certainly
we want to extend a word o
| appreciation to both the HiramS
4 burg and Harriettsville folk 70
serving our lunch as we max
our rounds the two days.
One of the questions on tn
questionable concerns the medi
cal facilities in your communit,
- how many miles do you trave
to the doctor and hospital an'
where do you go. | also under
stand that the check list Whicl
went out from the Extension OF
flee also asked this question. YoI
see, we are trying to find ou
some pertinent facts which ma,
lead us to do something abou
a hospital for this county. Ou

Land taken out of corn pro-
duction can be put into sol
building, profit-yielding legume.
grass pastures, the committee
points out.
Corn yields on many Ohio
farms can be nearly doubled and
production costs considerably re-
duced by proper fertilizer use,
says the committee.
The fixed cost of growing an
acre of corn in Ohio averages
about 500, according to Ohio
State University agronomists.
That includes seed, planting,
cultivation, labor, machinery,
fuel, harvesting, land, interest
and other expenses.
On unfertilized land yielding
80 bushels per acre, the crop
value averages $3.50, figuring
corn at $1.50 per bushel. That
means a net profit to the farmer
of $3.50 per acre, after fixed
costs are deducted. Production
costs amount to 81 per bushel.
When fertilizer was added at
cost of $20.90 per acre in Ohio
tests, yields were increased to
rs bushels. That, in turn, boost
ed the farmers net profit to
$3.50 per acre gain of $3.50.
Production costs were cut to 80
cents bushel.
Fertilizer can help farmers
produce more efficiently" says
the committee, 'and get more
real profit from every acre
farmed. That is true even if
prices go down."
