Nearly Half OF Ohio's Vo-Ag Students :
Continue In Farm Work After Graduation

Nearly half of the Ohio boys who
take vocational agriculture as SUBJ
ject in high school continue after
graduation as farmers, according to
a study recently made by the Advis-
ory Committee on Ohio Vocational
Agriculture, Bluffton school superin-
tendent A. B. Murray reports. Mr..
Murray, secretary of the committee,
recently completed a written report
of the committees findings and mailed
them to schools throughout the state.
The study showed the actual per-
centage of students remaining on the
farm five years after graduation in
vocational agriculture to be 47.6 per
cent. Another 81 per cent find en-
ployment in work related to agricul-
ture, Mr.. Murray states in his report.
''The most significant change with
in the agricultural occupation picture
in recent years has been the decrease
in number of vocational agricultural
grads found on their home farms, I"
Murray's report continues. AS may
be expected a higher percentage of
the boys are self employed on farm
of their own-especially is this true
among boys who have been out of
school for a longer period than the

Ohio vocational agricultural in
structors are well prepared for their
jobs. The committee learned that IL
per cent have M. A. degrees in the
subject.
AS compared to other teachers vo-
ag instructors are well paid, but they
also have longer hours, the report
shows. The average beginning salary
for Ohio vo-ag teachers without
teaching experience was $4,000 this
year. The average salary for the 12-
month term is $500.
1T is estimated that Sc hours of
work is the average work week of a
vo-ag teacher because of the amount
of extra-curricular work required with
adult and young farmer groups. A
44-hour work week was found to be
insufficient for a good agriculture
teacher.
The average tenure of a teacher of
vocational agriculture has been seven
years. The average increase per year
has been about $3.50.

With an average price tag of $206
per acre, Ohio farm land now ranks
eighth in the nation in value, ac-
cording to II. r. Moore, agricultural
economist of the Ohio Experiment
Station.
This years average value of Ohio
farm land is eight per cent higher
than last year, Moore's study indi-
Gates. In only New Jersey, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
California, Indiana and Illinois is the
average land value higher.
Of the midwestern states, only IL
linois, with $241, has appreciable
higher land values than Ohio. The
heavily populated states along the
eastern seaboard have the highest
land values. Average land in New
Jersey, for example, is valued at
$442 an acre.
While Ohio land values climbed 8
per cent between July 1866 and July
1856, those throughout the nation
rose only 8 per cent, Mr.. Moore
points out. The economist sees the
pressure of a growing population
and strong demand from farm
operators for additional land as i'm
portant factors in the price rise.
The movement of people to subur-
ban and open country residences and
a decentralization of industry are
taking more acres out of agriculture.

Ohio Farm Land Average Value S2O6
Per Acre, Ohio Experiment Station Finds

Also, Ohio is utilizing more land for
highways, air fields, water reservoirs,
mining developments and recreational
areas. These things, Mr.. Moore,
points out, continue to displace farm
ers and create more competition for
the remaining rural areas.
In Ohio about one-third of the
recent farm land transfers have been
to enlarge existing farm units, Mr..
Moore notes.

The settlement also called for
another 5-cent-an-hour increase

$3.50 Hourly Rate Sought
The union request for 25 cents

for operators to $3.50 an hour.

amounted to $92 a week for a
40-hour week. The union said
lit also is seeking improvements

"Fair-minded people" the
union said, will recognize the
modesty OF this request. Indeed
it is too little to enable an EN-.
ploye to school and house his
family properly"
Estimed at $1.S Million
The estimated cost of the 25-
cent an hour increase was
$1,875,000 a year under a COM
pany formula which says that
II cent an hour of increased wages
will cost $4,000 a year.

AS the Presidents recovery

hope that he may be able to at

Department notify President

be unable to attend the con-
ference as originally scheduled

Cleaning Fur Rug

mrs. II. q. B., washington
The other day some one In
quired about cleaning a white
fur rug. I had one my son sent
me from Australia when he
was there during the war, and
I washed it myself. 1t was
backed with black sateen.
which I removed and washed
separately, and very glad I
did, as it ran badly. I washed
the rug in lukewarm suds
made of soap fakes and rinsed
also in lukewarm water so as
not to harden and shrink the
skin. dried it outdoors on one
of those old-faShioned towel
racks from the pitcher and
basin era, which happened to
be around the house, which
was convenient to bring in onto
the back porch at night, as it
took several days to dry. I sup
pose parallel clothes lines
would do.
Combing it out was the
tough part, but it looked lovely
when finished. I ironed the
sateen and basted it back on.
My rug was small. so it was
not difficult to handle. I gave
1t back to my son after he
married, and it's now my
daughter-in-law's responsible
ity, I don't know If she has
ever washed it. In fact, I never
used 1t after / washed it, as it
soiled so quickly. Good luck.

To those who are unhappy
with the white "heat" marks on
their furniture. try sprinkling
baking soda on the spots and
rubbing with a damp cloth.
Repeat until spots disappear.
The soda will not only absorb
the moisture created by hot
plates, etc. which makes the
white spots in the finish. but
also will remove white spots
caused by splitting rubbing al
cohol on finishes as dark as
cordovan mahogany. You'll be
as pleased as I with your like

things as well and as quick as
with an ironer. I refer to

be done. If the lady does not

would be much more useful.
