The new plans for the new Al
barn and show arena are now
complete. These plans call for a
structure 120 feet long and So
feet wide Eighty feet will be
barn space and 20 feet will be
arena. The show area is to be 36
by 40 with bleacher seats to
accommodate approximately $50
people. The barn will have 80
4X8 foot stalls with 10 foot walk
ways between the rows.
We will need a lot of lumber
to put up this building. We can
use 8, 10, II, 16, 18 and 20 foot
lengths. If you have logs to don
ate, take them to Glenn Kings
saw mill and tell him that they
are for the All barn. If you don't
have a way to haul them, just
drag them out to the road and
let me know about them and
will make arrangements for the
hauling.
There will be a All Advisors
Council meeting, Tuesday, in the
Extension office at 800 o. m. The
main purpose of the meeting is
to organize committees for con-

Former Caldwell
Writer Completes
In Memory Poem

Several weeks ago, Mrs. n. +.
Walters had a verse in this publ
cation, relative to an In Memor-
lam for her husband, E. E. Wal
ters
Mrs. John Erskine, who re-
ceives the paper in New York,
always passes it on to her aunt,
Mrs. Lou Ellen Teters Bussenius
of Chicago, III.
Mrs. Bussenius was to touched
by the verse that she completed
it in the following manner.
Mrs. Bussenius was born in
Caldwell, the daughter of Col.
and Mrs. Wilbert Barton Teters.
She is a sister of the late WiTber-
tine Teters Worden, who was the
mother Of Mrs. Erskine.
Taking the one verse, Mrs,
Bussenius completed this poem
in the following manner
If I had all this world to give,
I'd give it now, and more
To hear your voice, and see
your smile,
And kiss you, as before.
If | had all the world to give,
And bring you back again,
My breaking heart would then
rejoice.
And suffer no more pain.
The days are long, and nights
are sad,
And memories bring tears.
But ] have not forgotten dear,
Our love in those past years.
I'd give my life, my very soul,
To see your tender face,
To touch your hand, and hold
you fast,
Once more in NV embrace.
But this I know: It's not to be,
And cruel the parting lies.
Wen never meet again, my
love,
Until in paradise.

quirements of the unit, it would
supplement the two years now
required 10 serve in the military
service.
1t is hoped that a general
meeting of all young men and
others interested in joining the
local ONG unit can be arranged
for in the immediate future in
order that questions can be asked
and answered to the best salts
faction of all concerned.
Major Mccain expressed
desire to arrange such a meeting
in Caldwell and when an open
date appears in his schedule he
plans to return and conduct a
question and answer session.
Date, time, and place of this
meeting will be announced well
in advance and will thus avail
all persons interested an opport-
unity to attend and hear the
ONG recruiting officer speak and
at the same time ask questions
pertinent of their individual
case.
The r. c. Moore building,
located in Caldwell, corner of
Frazier road and st. Rt. 285, has
been favorably considered as d
armory to house the new ONG
unit. An inspection of the build
ing has been made and from all
indications appears satisfactory.
Some repairs will be necessary
to adequately equip the build
ing, such as installing water and
toilet facilities and erecting partl-
tions to meet military specifica-
tions. The building, size so by
100 feet with ample parking
facilities, has been used as a
warehouse since its construction
three years ago.
The local ambulance company
will carry a full complement OF
enlisted personnel, with ratings
as designed by military table
of organization. There will be a
company commander and three
platoon officers.
1t was expressed here Monday
that the equipment normally
carried by the ambulance unit
would never be up to full
strength. Only when the unit IS
engaged in summer training will
the company carry a full assign
ment of automctiVe equipment.
The announcement made Mon
day brings to a happy climax a
program of promotion and effort
which will bring to Noble county
its second ONG unit The first
unit was organized in 1887 and
the outbreak of World War
II saw that unit mustered into
active service. At the conclusion
of the war, the unit was never
reactivated.
Those who have been instru-
mental in moving forces to
realize this accomplishment for
Noble county are State KEEP
resentative Edmund G.. James,
Roger King Of the local soil con-
servation service, and Charles j.
Coyle, Caldwell insurance agent:
In authorizing the forming OF
the local ambulance unit IN
Noble county, Major General
Leo M. Kreber. Ohio adjutant
general. stated he felt reason
ably assured that successful
and progressive company Woulo
% forthcoming, based on the
interest displayed by those active
in its establishment.

towns, the company feels that
if its customers will be better
satisfied, it is willing to make
some sacrifice in earnings in
order to do this.
Likewise, the small amount of
anticipated increased revenue
from customers in Dexter CITY
will not eliminate the net
decrease in earnings from the
customers presently affected by
the decrease.
The reduced rates will be put
into effect as soon as the matter
can be legally processed through
the Public Utilities Commission
of Ohio.
Attorney John w. Hazard
stated today, after consultation
with many of the Permian con-
sumers whom he has represented
in the effort to have the rate
reduced, that he anticipated TAX
ing no further action in the
Public Utilities Commission
against the Permian Company.
Attorney Hazard has been
working on the matter for many
weeks and it was not until last
week that the agreement was
reached in a telephone conversa-
ton with Permian officials at
Marietta.
The complaint, which would
have been filed in the Commits
sion had this agreement not been
reached, was to have been on
the principle of discrimination
among consumers of the COM
pany in their rate-fixing whereby
many were charged a much
higher rate than others.
The average home consumer
of gas outside the Village of
Caldwell has been paying little
more than one dollar per thou
sand cubic feet of gas, while the
residents of the Village have
been paying about sixty-tWo
cents per thousand cubic feet.

capacity of these pastures.
Many rundown, weedy blue
grass pastures will support only
one cow on five to eight acres
and then for only a couple off
months. BY earring out a pro-
gram Of lining to the neutral
point, and supplying 200 pounds
to 300 pounds of fertilizer per
year, then seeding to the right
legume-grass mixture, this same
field can be made to furnish pas
ture for a COW on an acre and
Go it all summer.
The trash mulch" method of
rejuvenating pastures is being
used by more and more Soil Con-
servation District Cooperators,
especially where fields are liable
to be damaged by water erosion.
According to Calvin, district
cooperators who are succeeding
with this method, have done the
following:
l.. Applied the needed amount
of lime in late summer or early
fall.
2. Disked several times until
all vegetation was killed but the
sod was left on top to prevent
washing.
3. In spring, as soon as the
ground was fit to work, disked
again to attain a good seedbed,
4. Applied 400 pounds to 600
pounds of a complete fertilizer
like 3-12-12.
5. Seeded a mixture Of grass
and legumes made UP of alfalfa,
red clover, and bromegrass or
orchard grass or timothy Anoth-
er mixture showing promises in
Noble county is Birdfoist Trifoil
and timothy.
"Once the stand is obtained,
grazing must be controlled to
prevent overgrazing," Calvin
pointed out. Clipping twice
year will encourage new growth
and help to control weeds
