Farmers Will Vote
On Wheat Quotas

Friday, july 20, is the date when
growers will determine how they
want to market their 1857 wheat
crop, Lloyd Roby, Chairman of
the Madison County Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
Committee, reminded farmers to
day.
Farmers who will harvest more
than Is acres of wheat as grain on
a farm in 1857 are eligible to cast
ballots in the wheat quota refer
endum. Polling places will be set
up in convenient locations in the
county, and wheat growers will be
notified where they may vote.
A two-thirds favorable vote will
mean that the marketing quotas
and penalties on excess wheat will
be in effect for the 1857 wheat
crop. Under quotas, too, price sup
port to growers in the Commercial
area who comply with their wheat
acreage allotments will be at the
full level available - between IS
to 90 percent of parity.
If more than one-third of the
growers voting disapproved quo
tas, the quotas will not be in effect,
and the available price support on
the 1857 wheat crop to those who
comply with farm wheat acreage
allotments will be at level of so
percent of parity.
When a marketing quota pro-
gram is in effect, the excess wheat
of a grower who does not comply
with his farm wheat acreage allot-
ment and who has more than Is
acres of wheat for harvest as grain
on the farm will be subject to a
marketing quota penalty. This pen
atty will be equal to As percent of
the May l, 1857 parity price for
wheat.
Chairman Lloyd Roby emphas-
lied that the vote is on wheat mar
keting quotas and not wheat allot-
ments. Whether or not the vote is
favorable on the quotas. acreage
allotments will be in effect for the
1857 wheat crop.
Marketing quotas have been ap-
proved by growers voting in refer
endums for the past three wheat
crops. Last year, 77.3 percent of
the growers voting favored quotas
for the 1856 crop.

toll during the final hours of the

lists hurrying to get home might
bring the total up to the predicted
figure, but that there was some
hope of keeping the death toll
down.
Ohio was said to have had six
traffic deaths and one drowning
reported for the period
Locally, the State Patrol report

Oil Possibilities
In Madison County

COLUMBUS, o., - A new grav-
ity map of Ohio shows interest
ing" features in the MadiSon-Fay-
ette County area where search
for oil is under way, an Ohio
State University scientist has re-
ported.
The map shows for the first
time the gravity variation S
throughout the entire state. 1t re-
suited from a three-year statewide
survey in which gravity measure
ments were taken at some l,5OO
Ohio points under the direction of
DR., Weikko A. Heiskanen, inter-
nationally known scientist He is
director of the University'S Insti-
tute of Geodesy, Photogrammetry
and Cartography and project
supervisor in the Mapping and
Charting Research Laboratory.
The map indicates large gravity
deviations in an area extending in
to Fayette, Madison and nearby
counties. The scientists do not yet
know the reason for the large de-
viations here, but believe it possi-
BILE that there is some connection
with an oil field, the Ohio State
scientist said.
Fayette County recently was re-
ported to be the center of a six
county oil search.
Quite few cases are known, DR..
Heiskanen reported, in which oil
has been taken from an area SINH
lar in appearance to the Fayette
County region on the gravity map.
One of these areas centers on the
border between SanduSky and Sem
eca Counties in northern Ohio.
There was important oil product
ton in this region around the turn
of the century.
Other oil-producing areas with
similar gravity measurements exist
in Texas. However, Oil is often
found, DR.. Heiskanen said, at loca-
tions which do not show large gra-
vity deviations.
Gravity measurement is one of
several geophysical methods now
widely used in oil exploration.
The gravity survey project was
sponsored jointly by Ohio States
Development Fund, Graduat e
School and department of geology.
The gravity map has been publish
ed Cat $1.00 per copy by the Ohio
Division of Geological Survey, 1O6
Orton Hall, on the campus.

Press Company To
Expand Facilities

The Madison Press Company,
commercial printers and publish
ers of three Madison County news
papers, has purchased the $500
square foot building on South Oak
Street, across from the London
post office, ]. r, Conway, company
president, stated Thursday. The
new building will house the COM
pany's expanded commercial print
ing department.
The building was purchased from

mans Super Service Garage, and
work on remodeling the structure
will go ahead Immediately. Hay
man will carry on in the automob-
lie business with which he has
been identified for a great many
years. Mr.. Hayman explained that
his present two-story garage is
entirely adequate for his needs
and that he will continue to serve
his customers as in the past.
THE expansion of the Madison
Press Company in the commercial
field marks a milestone in the pro-
gress of Madison County's oldest
printing establishment" ]. r. Con-
way said. Increased business in
this field has made expansion nee
essary and we feel very fortunate
that we were able to acquire this
property which adjoins our pres
ent quarters"
The Madison Press Company is
Madison County's oldest and larg-
est printing establishment and has
continued in busines down
through the years to the present

Maurice Pernod, commercial
printing manager, said that the

new equipment as soon as the new
building is modified to meet spec
ial requirements of commercial
printing. Too, Pernod said, the ad-
ditional space will augment the
company's present commercial
printing plant which will be used
as a bindery when remodeling is
completed. This should give US
the most modern printing plant in
this area. It is our intention to
serve the Madison county area
with the best commercial printing
available anywhere" Mr.. Pernod
said
