An Editorial

The Madison County sherffs office reports attempt
made to cut down the tree Big Plain which has figured
four deaths recently Saturday night. The would dbeoe
gers found big job however and after partially cutting
it, abandoned the task Damage to the tree such that the
state highway department. will complete the Job and
the old elm
This like the small boy kicking the stone which he
sfubbed and hurt his toe How easy blame the tree for
something the of which very plain but painful TO
tempste and how symbolic of efforts at really eliminating
the that hasawed trunk left standing for others TO dol
If eliminated every tree in the US.A do you believe
accidents would decreased If had the wsest legislation in
traffic laws and haheaedy enforce them do you think
accidents would decreased
No. logger you don't have the We must look with
in ourselves for il is there be mother father
that lies the of accidents and the cutting out
do must not stop at anything short of the goal.

Ohio Farm Land
Brings Top Price

Some Ohio farm land sold at
record prices in recent months. ac-
cording to H r.. Moore and r. A.
Bailey, Ohio Agricultural Expert
.ment Station economists.
Bailey and Moore checked actual
sales of farm real estate in 4 coun-
ties - Darke, Fayette, Madison
and Muskingum. They found mod
crate increases in average price.
Prices during the first quarter of
1855 averaged 3 percent higher
than the first quarter of 1854.
Price trends in these q counties
have been similar to state trends
during the past IS years, they add.
The most positive factor support
ing farm land prices Is liberal
credit terms for mortage financ-
ing. the specialists believe. Farm
real estate prices in 1854 averaged
10 percent higher than in 1850,
while average size of farm loans
increased 25 percent during that
time.
Several other factors give
strength to land prices too. Among
these Moore and Bailey list: ID
Active farmers often want to en-
large their acreage; CD enough
capital seeking investment is in
the hands of farmers and others
that about out of each 10 trans
actions are free of mortgage debt
and 90 urban buyers account fo
about one-third of the purchas
and increase competition for fa'
land
