HEAVY LOSS OF CHILDLIFE
IN MOTOR MISHAPS YEARLY

We shouldn't have to keep re-
Winding adults of their RESPONSE
bility for keeping children safe in
traffic-but we do.
The need is obvious when the
Governors Traffic Safety Council
reports 296 children killed and
$3.50 injured last year in motor
vehicle accidents.
Admittedly, the needless actions
of many child traffic victims
thrust them into dangerous situa-
tons. But even in such cases,
adults must accept the blame.
By their very nature children
are excitable, needless and I'M
thinking. We, as adults, know this.
Yet somehow we expect every
child to realize instantly that an
automobile is a deadly monster if
he strays into it's path. We ex-
pect the child to know more about
stopping distances and speed than
most drivers know themselves.
If you think that's stretching a
point, think back how many times
the excuse is used, 81 couldn't

Beef Consumption
Still Increasing

For the third successive year, we
have consumed more beef than
pork. That's something new.
In the past, "eating high on the
hog meant living well. Today we
are living better than ever before
but the emphasis is shifting from
pork to beef.
The consumption trends are inn
portant to those of us engaged in
providing meat for American ta-
bles and those trends should be
watched and closely studied.
One of the features of changing
eating habits has been a long term
trend toward more beef and conse-
quently more red meat in our ma
tional diet.
Economist E. E. Miller, of the
Agricultural Marketing Service, in
recent issue of Agricultural Re-
search points out that our appetite
for pork is apparently leveling off,
although we haven't lost our taste
for it.
We ate 66 pounds of pork per
person last year-about average
for the postwar years and almost
exactly the same amount we ate 25
years ago. But we ate 81 pounds of
beef.
Consumers showed preference
for beef in another way-by pay
ing more per h. than for pork at a
time when beef was more plenti-
full than ever. For the past 8 years,
consumers have spent more total
dollars for beef than for pork, al
though they bought more pounds
of pork in 5 of those years.
AS regards pork, consumers ex-
penditures have held up better for
lean pork cuts than for fat cuts.
We have become a nation of cal
orie watchers as a direct result of
the changes in agriculture and in
dustrial technology. Our work is
not so strenuous and we have be-
come a sedentary people, tending
to corpulence. So, Miller thinks we
are catering to both taste and our
new needs in this shift from pork
to beef.
The demand for leaner meat has
led producers and packers to con-
centrate on the development of
meat-type hogs. No one knows
whether that could take demand
away from beef. 1t could very well
strengthen demand for pork while
not affecting the position of beef

States Farmers
Get S706,914 In
Soil Bank Money

In the last few months, the gov
ernment has mailed checks total
ing S706,914 to Ohio farmers who
agreed to take some of their corn,
wheat and tobacco out of product
ion.
And before the year is out, the
Agriculture Department figures
such payments in Ohio will add to
more than AZ million dollars.
This money represents benefits
authorized by the new soil bank
plan, the idea of which is to reim-
burse farmers for reducing the ma
tion'S surplus crops.
Just how Ohio farmers are re-
acting to this program is some
thing on which the department, at
this point, declines comment.
But statistically speaking about
1900 Ohio farms are listed as
participating this year. That is only
about 10 per cent of all Ohio
farms. But all farms are not eligi-
bic.
Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft
Benson has been saying right a.
long that 1856 isn't a fair test of
the soil bank. AS one of his men
put it the other day:
After all, this program didn't
get started until June. BY that
time, a lot of farmers in Ohio
and other states, too-had their
corn planted.
They had put in hybrid seed
corn, some fertilizer, and had it
growing pretty good. Then they
were told the could clip it or in
corporate in into the soil if they
wanted to join the. soil bank.
Then it was a question of mon
ey. If the corn was growing good
well, the farmers can use a pen
Gil just as we'll as anybody else"
The farmer, to determine how
he would make out, went through
the arithmetic of figuring that un-
der the soil bank he would receive
about 90 cents for every bushel
of corn he didn't grow
With this estimate he could de-
eide whether he could make more
by growing and selling corn.
Aside from corn, the only other
Ohio crop that was eligible for the
soil bank program this year was
tobacco. And the participation here
was hardly a "thimbleful," as one
government man put it-only 185
acres in the whole state put into
reserve.
That leaves just one other Ohio
soil bank crop-wheat. Wheat
didn't figure this year, since in
Ohio it's all planted in the fall.
But the agreements for 1857
winter wheat are all in. This is the
way they shape up: Some Ia. 500
Ohio farmers have signed agree
ments to take about 10000 acres
out of production.
That means that for wheat soil
bank payments alone, Ohio farm
ers will receive a total of around
five million dollars in 1857.

Appeal Is Made
To Aid Refugees

An appeal for Ohioans to help
out Dutch refugee victims of war,
floods, and over-crowding was
made today by Rev. Clyde N.
Rogers, chairman of the Cover
nor's Committee on Refugee Re-
lief and an official of the Ohio
Council of Churches.
Our country promised to inn
migrate 1900 Dutch refugees
under the Refugee Relief Act, but
we've only brought in about g.
600, and the deadline is Dec. 81,
said Rev. Rogers.
These are good, hard-working
people, who would enrich our
communities, but the law says we
must first assure them a job and
housing" he said.
Because little Holland is over
crowded, she is asking us to give
job and housing assurances for as
many refugees as we can. For a
citizen or group to give or obtain
an assurance would be a service
to humanity and to our country"
Rev. Rogers asserted
He said many of the refugees
are very well educated, and some
have skills that are in short sup
ply here, such as teaching, nurs-
ing, and hand-craftmanship.
The Governors Committee
chairman said interested persons
should contact him at his office,
141 n. Front st.
He said that surprising num-
ber of refugees were imprisoned
for resistance to the NaZis some
of them escaping.
Surely these people have earn
ed whatever help we are able to
give them," Rev. Rogers remark
ed.
IF Ohioans could just see the
photos and backgrounds of these
refugees, I'm sure they would
want very much to help" Rev.
Rogers said.

phate and potash:

1. Beef and dairy cattle Will
have earlier grazing next spring;
2. There will be more grass and
it will be more palatable;
3. The grazing season from blue
grass will be heightened;
4. Feed costs will be lower;
5. Net returns per acre will be
higher because of the lower costs
of production.
Tests indicate that fall-added
fertilizer containing nitrogen as
we'll as phosphate and potash, can
give as effective results as fertil-
izer put on in the spring.
In very sandy soils, where wat
er drains through quickly, serious
losses of nitrogen can occur with
fall fertilization. On other soils
even if you have slight loss of nj
trogen, it will cost less than an ex-
ira trip over the field in the
spring.
You get more use from old, run
down pastures if you renovate
them in the autumn. When re-
novation program is teamed up
with plenty of fertilizer, increased
forage yields will result.
Recently the Middle West Soil
Improvement Committee reported
that calves on renovated pastures
made so percent better gains than
those on old, unfertilized fields in
Minnesota tests. The fertilization
program on the renovated pasture
included four tons of lime per acre
and 300 pounds of fertilizer con-
tanning nitrogen, phosphate and
potash.

One Big Crop Not
Reason For Brags

Big yields of crops in any one
year are not accurate indicators of
the long-run productivity of land.
This fact explains why farmers
in a particular county should not
get "chesty' or pat themselves on
the back for doing a better job of
farming than their neighbors on
the basis of one big crop, says Ev-
erett Reed, Extension agronomist
of The Ohio State University.
Reed has just compiled average
yield figures for % northwestern
Ohio counties for the 10 years 1910
-49 and for 1854 and 1855. He finds
that for average yields over 10
years the following counties rate
high:

acre. Hay-Lucas, 1.88 tons per

Fall Fer+iIizinq
Will Yield Value

In agricultural circles more and
more time is being spent discuss
ing the many advantages of fall
fertilization. In the light of recent
experiences with the weather here
in Ohio, fall fertilization takes on
added significance. This is espec-
tally true in the cases of bulk sp-
reading" for plow down and for the
renovation of old, rundown past
ure and the maintenance of well
established pastures.

per acre. Corn-Shelby, 52.6 bush

9 bushels per acre.
But when the 1854 and 1855
yields are compared the individual
counties may be up and down on
the rating scale by as much as 5
to 10 places. For example, Lucas
dropped to fifth place on oats
yields in 1854 and to eighth place
on this crop in 1855.
Another example: Van Vert
county ranks ninth in wheat yields
(25.9 bushels per acre) in the 10

to twentieth place in 1855 with 20
