THE
FARMERS WIFE
BY GRACE LUEBKE

the time, and he's left floundering
around in the middle. What. course
to follow? The trend seems to be
that the only way he can make
things meet is to expand his op-
erations - hell have to farm more
land, he'll have to buy more cows,
and he'll have to buy more ma
chinery and other equipment to
handle these increased operations.
That makes it bad, especially if
he's still making payments on what
he has now.
Maybe that isn't the answer at
all - expansion. If the farmer
would use what he has and increase
the quality so much that he can
produce as much as the next fell
lew who has quantity because he
has expanded wouldn't he be
just as far ahead?
Take the subject OF cows, for in
stance. If "smal! potatoes" dairy
man has a herd of 10 cows w1o
really give the milk because of the
time and thought that this farmer
put into culling and replacing his
herd by raising heifer calves from
his very best breeding stock. His
neighbor down the road has de-
cided he must have more and more
cows, so he goes on lengthy trips
over the country trying to find
good cows He buys lot of them,
but as so often happens, they don't
measure up to the former owners
glowing reports. So he must be
continually buying and selling, and
the selling is usually done at a
loss. In the meantime he has in
stalled so very much expensive
equipment to take care of the fine
herd he's anticipating having in
his barn.
Another point in favor of the
smaller but higher quality herd is
that personal intimacy that the
farmer can have with his cows.
Anyone who's ever worked with
dairy cows knows how sensitive
and gentle, or nervous and high
strung she can be, depending on
her environment and the person
ality of the person who's caring for
her. A COW is not a machine that
will react just the same every time
her controls are worked. She must
feel the friendliness and patience
that she thrives on, and if she has
the basic milk-producing qualities,

Ohio Edison Has
Revenue Increase

The increase in business activi-
ties that prevailed throughout the
service area of the Ohio Edison
System in 1855 resulted in conSoli-
dated operating revenue of $123,-
254,883 for the year, or 1850
more than 1854, President Walter
H. Sammis advised stockholders in
his annual report mailed this week
The unusual number of large in
dustrial enterprises that selected
sites in the service area for new
plants or major engagements was
another factor contributing to the
Company's successful year, accord
ing to Mr.. Sammis. Altogether 81
new industrial concerns were To-
Gated in the territory.
Consolidated net income after
preferred stock dividends was
$40, ,235 compared with $17,519,-
101 in 1854
Operating expenses totaled $62,-
220,750, UP $3.50 from the preced-
ing year Provisions for taxes, the
largest single item in the cast of
doing business, amounted to S32,-
995, ,120, compared with $26, ,992,-
749 in 1854.
Wages of employees, including
construction personnel, were $32,-
431 ,238.
Kilowatt-hours sold for all pur-
poses increased 20.2% in 1855.

she'll produce. Cows are creatures
of habit, and when she's familiar
with her surroundings and no
great changes take place in hes
associates she'll be contented. But
what great turmoil can be caused
by new COW in herd! Or maybe
two or three - the former "boSs"
of the herd might have to relin-
quish that position after having
established it and having kept it
for years. And those new cows
might be so pushed around that
they never are given fair chance
to see what they can do.
/ suppose it sounds to you as
though I'm advocating that no
dairyman should expand, or buy
more cows, or install new equip
ment. That most certainly is not
the case at all, and here's why -
| don't think that every farmer is
capable of handling these expan-
sion enterprises. One who is ca
pable is a farmer who is intelligent
enough to know if he's doing the
right thing. He must have good,
big established herd, the capital to
invest in this expansion, a good
an expert eye on the fine
art of buying cows. He must be a
good worker, and one who is pune
tual at milking time, not doing
chores at 500 o'clock one night
and 800 the next. He must be one
who reads and uses all the informa-
tion available that will help him
in his dairying, and above all, he
must keep that personal touch"
in relationship to his cows.
/ don't know who l think I am
by telling you this, but it's my
opinion so I'll stick by it. What do
you think, do you agree or dis
agree?

The same law is applying to
farm people today just as it has
applied to all forms of life, be it
animal, vegetable, or what have
you, since the beginning of time.
That is the law of survival of
the fittest", and means that if a
farm family wants to remain in
possession of their farm and con-
tinue to make living on it, they're
going to really have to study, work,
and manage the very best they
can.
Everyone knows that there are
literally thousands of suggestions
to be had by just reading current
issues of farm magazines. Research
at our state agricultural colleges
goes on all the time, tests are made
in various localities in the state as
to the right variety of soy beans or
corn to grow in that region and on
that soil. Farmers are urged con-
tinually to take soil samples from
their fields to have tested and find
what the soil lacked so as to use
the best and proper fertilizer neces-
sary and eliminate a fertilizer with
an analysis that isn't needed in
any one particular field.
However, as we all know, and
our county agents can tell us for
sure, not enough farmers are TAX
ing advantage of this research and
testing. 1t seems as though they've
got to try everything themselves
instead of taking the word of the
person who conducted the test
plats.
It's really getting hard for farm
people to sit down and try to rea-
son out just what objects to strive
for. Oh, it's true that his basic
goal is to make a living for him
self and his family, but haw to
go about it? On one side of the
fence is that continual urging to
improve farm operations for great
er efficiency, greater output, and
thus more of product to sell so
that he'll have an adequate income.
On the other hand, statistics on the
subject of vast surpluSes in farm
commodities are thrown at him all

Today's Bit Of Nonsense -

today's BIT OF nonsense -
A 5-year-old lad was watching
his mother change the baby. When
she overlooked using the talcum
powder but hurried him into his
diaper, the 5-year-old reproved her
sharply,
"Hey, Nom, you forgot to salt
him."
To-day I'm going to wind up tell
ing you about the menu of that
swell meal we enjoyed at the home
of Mrs. Brayton Finken at our
Benton Township "Broiler Meals"
meeting. I'll bet YOU'RE thinking
that we sure must have had plenty
to eat that day and you're right -
we did. For dessert Lucille pre-
pared dish that was her own
recipe, and |, for one, had never
eaten this particular kind of des-
sert. It's called "Angel Lemon
Dessert" and Lucille says it was
given to her when she attended
the State Board meeting of the
Ohio Federation of Mothers of
Twins Clubs at Elyria, Ohio. 1t was
served at the luncheon that day.
Angel Lemon Dessert"
Cook a prepared package of
lemon pudding as directed on
package. Set aside to cool. Remove
brown crust from an Angel Food
Cake and pull the cake apart in
small pieces. Sounds like fun,
doesn't it? But you'd better not
let the small fry see you doing it,
it would be little hard to ex-
plain).
Arrange a layer of cake, then a
layer of pudding in oblong pan
until all is used up. Cool in re-
frigerator for at least or 4 hours
before serving. Top with whipped
cream. Average sized cake makes
8 to 10 servings.
If you'd rather, you can make
your own favorite lemon pudding
instead of using packaged mix.
Lucille says that one good fea-
ture of this dessert is that it can
be prepared several days ahead
and frozen until you're ready to
serve it.
This was really good to eat, and
looked so pretty, too. 1t sounds to
me as though it would work fine
for lunch at ladies' aid or club
meeting, too.

tet from Lakeside High School.
