TIE AMERICAN MY
Better Equipment -


justification for the existence
of American industry lies in the
fact that it makes capital and
management available to the
American worker, thereby ena-
bling him to enlarge his contri-
button to our national income
and also, at the same time, to
make earnings for himself.
Let's use very simple
example by way of illustration.
A man without tools is given an
excavation job. Without equip
ment he is almost helpless, and
his accomplishment is small over
the course Of day, the week or
the year. His performance would
be greatly enlarged if a hand
shovel were made available to
him. If, also, he were furnished
with wheelbarrow with which
to carry dirt from one point to
another, his achievement would
be further increased. If someone
were to loan him a steam-shovel
and teach him to operate it,
obviously his productive labor
would be multiplied manifold.
Working without tools, this
mans work would have a very
low market value. Equipped with
a steam-shovel, on the other
hand, his income would be in
creased many times. 1t is true,
in the latter case, that the man
would incur certain expenses. He
would have to pay for instruction
on how to run the machine, rem
tai for the use of it and for the
fuel to operate it. But he would
have an enormously increased
gross income out of which to
meet these expenses, leaving him
a much larger net income for his
labor.
This man would have very
little expense for the rental of
a hand-shovel, slightly increased
expense if he rented a wheel
barrow, and much greater ex-
pense if he rented steam
shovel. Is it not reasonable that
the income to the man who rent
ed him the steam-shovel should
be much greater than to the man
who rented him a hand-shovel?
Is it not also true that the work
er would be able to make a great
er contribution to the national
income if he uses a steam-shovel
instead of a hand-shovel? Is il
not a fact that the total income
for all concerned would be
greater if he uses a steam
shovel? Wouldn't it naturally
follow that the worker would
| greatly increase his own individ.
ual earnings, because he would
be participating in the division OF
far larger income, of which his
portion would be far greater
than it would have been from
his efforts with lesser equipment
or no tools at all?
| This simple illustration of the
man with the shovel exemplifies

THIS WEEK
WASHINGTON
REP. JOHN E. HENDERSON
DELAYED Justice

Our Nations Constitution pro-
vides a basic right that persons
in all criminal prosecutions will
be given speedy and public
trial. Thus, the trainers of the
Constitution recognized the prin-
ciple that justice delayed is
often justice denied. Today, with
an ever-growing backlog of cases
pending in our Federal court
system, that right is in jeopardy.
Although the delays are serious
in criminal cases, the congestion
of civil suits in the courts is even
more serious and threatens to
become chronic unless appropri-
ate corrective measures are
taken.
A recent report by Deputy
Attorney General to the Judicial
Conference of the United States
has focused attention on the evil
consequences of increasing de-
lays. In civil actions, it has
been reported that an average
of approximately 1412 months is
required to act on a case. How
ever, in some districts, happily
not in Ohio, the dockets are be-
hind as much as four years.
Within recent weeks, the
President and the Department
of Justice have promised to re-
commend corrective measures to
the Congress. A primary goal is
the appointment of additional
Federal judges to assist in clear
ing the dockets of cases now
pending and to handle the in
| creasing amount of litigation in
the Federal system.
This solution is relatively
| simple and urgently needed,
However, Congressional ap-
proval will not be obtained
quickly if the political complex
ion of our court system is al
lowed to become the overriding
issue. If this occurs, continued

Reclaimed Land Of
Ohio Power Good
Grazing Pastures
BrookfieId Acres
Demonstrate VoIue
OF Soil Reclamation

On Tuesday, Sept. 20 a group
of Noble county farmers visited
some pasture test plots on the
Ohio Power Company lands
south of Cumberland. The pas
ture tests were established on
reclaimed spoil bank following
removal of the coal.
The coal was removed in 1852.
The land was leveled in 1853,
and seeded to the pasture mix
lures in the spring of 1854.
These tests were conducted in
cooperation with the Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment Station and
the Farm Clinic of Lafayette,
Ind.
There were three fields in
which grazing tests were con-
Quoted this year.
Two were seeded to alfalfa,
bronze grass, red clover, tim
othy and ladino clover. A third
field was seeded to birdsfoot tre-
foil, bluegrass and red top.
The birdsfoot area and one
alfalfa area were given the same
treatment, receiving the equival-
ent of 500 pounds of a 10-10-10
fertilizer at seeding time. In mid
May 600 pound steers were turn
ed in to Craze the two areas. The
steers were left in continuously
for 1875 days.
The steers that grazed on the
birdsfoot trefoil gained an aver
age of l85 pounds of beef per
acre grazed. This was equival-
ent to 2.5 pounds daily gain per
steer.
On the alfalfa, bronze grass,
ladino clover plot the steers show
an average daily gain of 1.9
pounds per head. This was
equivalent to 153 pounds of beef
per acre grazed.
The steers had just been
weighed off Of the pasture on
Sept. 10Th. There was still a
luXuriant growth of forage
available in both grazing areas.
A part of the steers were graz
ing in Herbert Blackburn's field
nearby. Casual observation of
these cattle indicated that they
will now grade as good or choice
butcher cattle. Mr.. Blackburn
expects to put them through a
short period of grain feeding be-
fore marketing them as butcher
cattle.
